Syncing movies on iPad 2

Why is it that when I add a new movie to my itunes account and then sync my iPad, the iPad syncs every movie that was already on it as well as the new one?
I only have the "Sync Movies" and "Includes iTunes Extras" checked.

The problem is not with the conversion of the movie itself. The movie itself after being converted to the proper format works perfectly on the iPad 2. The problem is with the artwork associated with a particular movie. The only thing "custom" that I am referring to is the artwork which can be anything, any picture. When I am on the home screen on iPad I click the Videos app. The picture of all available movies on my iPad come up. Lets say there are 3 movies, all different (e.g. Batman, Ironman, and Superman). The artwork for all three movies will be the same. (i.e. Batman will have Ironman's cover art as will Superman. So it appears as if there are 3 Ironman movies all the same.) However when you click on the movie the artwork reverts back to the proper movie artwork. (i.e. Batman has Ironman artwork until I click on it, if you have used an iPad you know the next screen is an info screen with larger artwork. That artwork in that screen reverts back to the proper artwork for that particular movie. Batman previously showing Ironman artwork now has Batman artwork. If I hit back to go back to the main Videos app screen it reverts again back to the incorrect Ironman artwork for Batman's movie.) This is my problem. I've talked to some others and they have told me they have the same problem with Music artwork. How do I fix this problem? Again conversion is a non-issue, it has nothing to do with my artwork problem.

  • Syncing movies on iPad without removing music and books?

    I have an iPad loaded with music, books, apps and some movies, which I normally sync to my iMac. I am travelling and have a laptop with some movies that I want to sync to my iPad. Even if I just select the movies though and don't select any other sync'ing, the preview bar at the bottom of my iTunes shows all music and books being removed from my iPad. Is this the case, or is there a way to sync just the movies but keep all other existing media on my iPad (I know from the dialog box that all my existing movies on my iPad will be removed, which is fine but I want to keep the music and books on there).

    Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work. As soon as I check the box to sync films, it tells me it will remove all the existing films on my iPad. This is fine and I'm happy to proceed but then the capacity bar at the bottom of iTunes shows no music or books on my iPad. I do not have either the Music or Books sync boxes checked so it shouldn't be touching either of those areas and yet they both seem affected. I haven't tried running the sync as I am travelling and if those are removed, I won't be able to fix until I'm back home.

  • Cannot sync movies on Ipad

    Folks,
    Is anyone having issues syncing movies on the ipad. I have tried all options and my entire movie library refuses to move over to the iPAD. Is this a known bug or something that apple needs to fix. All my movies are syncing with my iphone and Apple TV without any issues.
    Regards

    I run into this same problem on occasion. For some reason iTunes thinks a movie isn't compatible with the iPad even though the movie IS compatible. Instead of letting the user override this and allow the movie to sync, Apple in their new "big brother" mode simply won't let you even try to play the file. Grrrrr....
    However, if you know the movie format is fine (or just want to try it), you can add the movie to the iPad using Air Sharing HD (their may be other software which performs this same function). You can then play the movie directly in that app. Unfortunately, Air Sharing HD does not remember your location, so if you stop playing in the middle you will have to find your place again manually. This has allowed me to play a number of movies which are properly encoded but which iTunes refuses to sync to my iPad.
    Hope that helps!

  • HT2729 iTunes stopped syncing movies to iPad

    The file format is right for iPad because iTunes previously synced the same movies without problems (my kids like to erase apps/movies only to put it back again later). When I check the movies that I want to and click apply/sync it shows sync in progress for a few seconds (syncs music/books etc) but no movies move to iPad. This is true to old/previously viewed as well as new movies.

    Hey there kuyosh!
    After reviewing your issue, I have an article to suggest that will help you troubleshoot the issues with your iPad. The following article will help you do some basic troubleshooting on any iPad issues you may be seeing and their interactions with syncing to the computer:

    The specific section you want to pay attention to will be "If iPad doesn't appear in iTunes or you can't sync iPad." If you are still having issues after following the steps in that section of the article, you will want to restore the iPad by following the instructions in this article:

  • Can't sync movies to iPad; can't share movies on network

    On the iPad (with retina display), when trying to watch movies shared from iTunes, after selecting the shared library, the circle spins for a while until failing with "Unable to turn on Home Sharing".  This started happening a lot recently, but I figured it wasn't that bad....I can just sync a few movies to the iPad, no problem, right? WRONG!!!!  I cannot sync movies to the iPad either.  iTunes just acts like it is doing something, then after a while it just stops acting like it's doing anything.  The movies never sync.  Also, if I deselct movies that are already there, they still do NOT get removed from the iPad.
    You might ask how I got the movies there in the first place.  This happened once already and I reset the iPad.  I was able to watch one movie in my shared library before getting the "Unable to turn on Home Sharing", and I was able to sync 4 movies.  That was it though, and all attempts to watch shared movies or to sync movies now fail.  Funny thing is that when I reset the iPad I lost a lot of custom settings.  I only got movies on it for a day biut I've been configuring my erased settings for a week.  I have reset my account info for home sharing in the iPad multiple times.  I have reset the iPad.  As I said, resetting worked for a day or two.
    Any ideas?

  • Sync movies with iPad mistaken as sync apps (and prompt to remove apps)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to sync some movies selectively (checked Sync Movies, unchecked Automatically include) from iTunes to my iPad and iTunes seems to be mistaken that I want to sync apps (I have Sync Apps unchecked) and prompt my if I 'want to remove xx appplications, including ... , from the iPad'.
    Is anyone seeing this too (iTunes 9.1.1 (12) on OSX 10.6.3, iPad 3G) ?

    It's working exactly as it's supposed to.
    If you uncheck *Sync Apps*, it will remove all apps since Sync Apps tells iTunes what to put (and keep) on the iPad.

  • Cannot sync movies to ipad

    I am unable to sync movies to my iPad running iOS7.  The movies had previously synced with no issues.  I am not sure if this is an issue with iOS7 but did not have this problem with iOS6.  I have tried different ports, updating iTunes & iOS, restoring and cycling power on everything.
    The movies can be selected to sync but after sync they show up gray in the list under iTunes list of what is on the iPad.  They also do not show up on the iPad.

    I'm certain that the problem is from configuring the sync:

  • Cannot sync movies to iPad 2

    Syncing movies from itunes on mac OSx to kids ipads. ipad4 worked fine. Cannot sync movies with ipad2. Itunes recognises ipad2 and performs backup but will not sync movies. Had error message twice: sync failed as sync session failed to finish. Any ideas?

    Without details, there's not much anyone here can do other than guess. I'd suggest you repost your question in the iPad forum, providing details such as the operating system running on your computer, what version of iTunes you have, and information about these movies (where did you get them, for instance), and someone there can probably help.
    Regards.

  • Can't sync movies with iPad

    I have purchased movies via iTunes but my iPad will not sync them. I have plenty of space on the iPad and removed any age restrictions although they are PG movies. I have reset the iPad holding Power and Home buttons but they will not load onto the iPad. It does sync one or two but not the ones I really want.
    Any suggestions please?

    I have found the answer to my question. I needed to check the Movies in my iTunes library in order for them to sync

  • Sync movie from ipad to computer?

    How do I sync to my computer a movie I bought on the iPad?

    You can only play 720p video.
    Download the 720p or standard def version.

  • Problem syncing movies to iPad

    For some reason I am unable to sync more than a certain number of movies to my iPad2 64GB  it appears that it for some reason arbitrarily limits me to 12 movies.
    Any ideas as to why this would be the case?
    But I can purchase movies from the iTunes store and it adds them with no problems, but then after transfering purchases to my mac, it will remove any of the new purchases and bring me back down to 12 movies.

    I'm somewhat hesitant to suggest this - but have you tried removing all of the movies from the iPad and then try to sync them all back to the device? Unsync and then sync again?
    You are using the same Apple ID on both devices and it is the same ID that all of the movies were purchased with - correct? You are signed into the same account on the iPad and the MBP? The new movies are not being purchased with a different account?
    Your iPad isn't age restricted for the content on the movies is it? I don't know if you could even download them in the first place if it was -  but I'm just trying to think of anything that might be causing this to occur.

  • Problems syncing movie to iPad

    I purchased and downloaded a movie onto my MacBook Air, now it will not sync and put the movie on my iPad, says this computer is not authorized.  I've tried to restart both devices, same message.  Any advice?

    It is the same Air I use for all my purchases, and I sync the iPad to it several times a week.  I've synced a gazillion other items -- songs, videos, movies -- with no problem.  Everything is logged into the same account, and I double-checked the computer to make sure that it was authorized. 

  • Cannot Sync movies with ipad

    Someone can tell my how to fix this.
    Thanks.

    Well I have to see that as progress anyway as frustrating and and as ticked off as you understandably are. BTW - the acronym has been edited - but it would not have offended me I'm sure.
    Is there any chance that you may have installed third party plug ins in iTunes - in your user account.? Did you get this far in that support article above?

  • Sync movies to Ipad

    I think I was able to sync some of my movies from my mac to my Ipad, but I cannot find them on the Ipad. Is there a trick to it?

    They should be in the videos app. iOS 5 separated videos from iTunes.
