Syncing movies, tv shows and music

Weird sync problems. 1) every time I sync iPad, it makes another copy of my pictures and adds them to my iPad library; 2) my iPad status shows storage used for my movies and music but sync it really took them all off; 3) if I deselect sync movies, music and then deselect them before syncing ,all my media will be available to see on iPad. Wierd. Suggestions? Otherwise I LOVE MY IPAD!!! Hugely.

I'm seeing something similar. After syncing, although itunes reports no errors, the ipad has no music or videos. If I fully power off the ipad and back on immediately before syncing, the music and videos reappear (this is quite repeatable). The sync operations are much too fast to be copying or deleting 27Gb each time.
There's about 14Gb of music and about 13GB of movies and tv shows, a combination of itunes purchases and Handbrake-encoded videos. The status bar in iTunes shows this much space taken up by music and videos, but the ipad About page shows 0 tunes and 0 movies.
Unlike the OP, though, I don't see a problem with photos. There's about 1.84Gb of photos, and that figure seems stable.
I'm using a 64GB+3G iPad and iTunes 9.1.1.12 on Windows 7.

My husband and I are divorcing and we have used his apple ID for our 2 apple tv's. He changed his password and now I no longer have access to the 300 or more movies, tv shows and music. He keeps telling me that , there is no way for us both to have it. So, since his Apple ID was the one programmed into our Apple TV's he has custody to everything. I know there has to be a solution for this, because I can't be the be the only person this has ever happened too!

Unfortunately the situation is thus...

Followed the directions on this page. Books are not listed among the options at step five, only movies tv shows and music, so how do I download my books then? I previously purchased two audiobooks on iTunes. They are available on my iPad, but not here.

If you go into Edit > Preferences then on the General tab on the popup that you get you should be able to select which types of content 'show' - tick the box against 'Books' :
Books then show under your 'Library' - if you select it, are those audiobooks listed there ?

iTunes 11 picked up on my entire extensive movie, tv show and music collection flawlessly, but importing a new movie into iTunes 11, it shows up in the list view, in the get info window the assigned artwork shows up, but the movie doesn't show up in the non-list (with artwork) view.
The media collection is on an external drive. And on my older Snow Leopard machine, the newly imported movie also shows up (with artwork) as it should.
Just not in iTunes 11 non-list )main movie) view.
Any ideas on this?
Cheers!

Wait - I meant to say that on the older machine the newly imported move shows up correctly using Front Row, not in iTunes.
Besides, i just noticed that my my hardware profile is not up to date - I am referring to an iMac running MountainLion 10.8.2

Can't get my paid movies, tv shows, and music back onto my iPod

I paid for a few movies, tv shows and songs for my iPod, and then my computer broke. I needed to get it fixed and so i lost all of my data including the music and movie files. Is there anyway that I can get those already paid movie and music files back onto my iPod without having to pay for them again?

If the purchased items are on your ipod, I assume they aren't according to your post, you can connect the ipod or iphone to itunes.
Click no if a message comes up that this ipod is synced with another computer, would you like to sync with this computer?
At the top of itunes, click on file and choose transfer purchases.
Now if the purchased items are not on your ipod or iphone, contact the itunes store support and let them know what happened.
Here is a link to the itunes store support site that has an email form at the bottom.

Hope this helps.

Manually Sync movies/tv shows and auto sync music

Is there a way to manually manage my movies and tv-shows but maintain auto-sync with my music? I have the box unchecked on movies and tv shows and it won't let me drag and drop any movies onto my ipod.

Yeah, I attempted that, too, because there are only some TV shows I want to watch, and it seems to avoid them regardless of what option I choose.
I tried to mix it up, but it just disabled the "manually manage", so I just use the "sync only checked" options and uncheck the things I don't want the iPod to sync.

Randomly Apple TV can't play Movies/Tv shows and music.

I've seen other people having problems with this issue but with all my searching, have not found an answer and thought I'd share my experience in case someone has a solution or suggestion.
Our cable modem service comes into an access pannel in the bedroom closet. It goes to the Linksys WRT54G router, then to a hub which sends out to all the rooms in our house. Our house is new and pre-wired for ethernet in each room. It comes in the office, goes into another hub and then to the Mac Mini I have and to a NAS Lacie storage drive where all my movies, music and photos are at. We stream everything and only synk photos on the Apple TV.
Over the last couple of days, the Apple TV can't play movies or music for some reason. The errors I get with Movies/TV is "The selected video cannot be played." The format was not recognized. With music the message is "Apple TV cannot play the current song." I know all the movies and music work because a day before I just played I AM LEGEND and it worked perfectly.
I've got a couple of theories and wanted to float them by everyone. I use a Harmony 880 remote and when I select Apple TV, it turns on the ATV and then sets the inputs on the other items. When I'm done and select watch TV, it turns ATV off. Should the ATV stay on all the time? Could this be causing the problem?
I've restarted the ATV, the Mac Mini, the hubs, the cable modem, the router. Nothing brings it back. But if it sits for a while, a couple hours or so, then it's back. However, it just stops playing for no reason and the next day it might not work again.
I'm running iTunes 7.6.2 and I checked the ATV and iTunes and both say they are up to date on their software.
I could really use some help here. The frustrating part is the kids want to watch one of their movies for the 700th time and it won't play many time.
Thanks everyone.
John
I use a Harmony 880 (I believe) remote.

Oops----thinking of the light on the Airport!!! =-)
The status light is gray, so it is not setting off any "alarms", everything else is working, but when I go to watch a movie, rented or owned, it times out and resets itself. I ran a diagnostic and it said everything was working properly, I reset to factory settings and still had the same problem, and even reset the Airport to make sure it was not just the connection.
At a complete loss as to any other ideas to try to get her up and running again. No way am I going anywhere near an Apple Store with all the iPad hype that is out right now!!!!!!

How do I install movies, tv shows and music on my Mom's Apple ID without having to wait 90 days?

My Mom even has Family Sharing on and I still can't download movies or tv shows from her account or I'll have to wait 90 days and I'm not waiting.
how do I bypass the 90 day thing? It's very frustrating for me and I just want to watch my movies, thanks.

Play the movie in iTunes to stream it.
Click the cloud icon to download it.

Hello,
I would like to move my huge iTunes library music from external HD 1 to a bigger external HD 2. I would like to make HD 2 as my only reference and after delete any iTunes files on the HD 1. Already chosen the new media location and checked "keep media folder organized".
Then should I Consolidate files or Reorganize under Organize library?
Should I use export library?
Can you please give a clue what steps should I take?
These are questions you should ask before you do anything.

HT4972 how do i move my apps and music back to my iphone from the itunes library

How do you move or can I move Itune folders (Movies), (TV Shows) and (Home Videos) to other internal hard drives (running out of space) on my computer's main hard drive and have Itunes recongize where they are?

I built my own computer which has 4 internal hard drives with 3 internal hard drives that are 3tb. With my movies and tv shows, I need to know if I can move the Itunes folders (Movies, TV shows and Home Video's) and move each one of them to 3 seperate internal hard drives while Itunes can still find them to play with my apple tv. Does anyone know how I can do it?

While you can do that, it is not a feature of iTunes. Put your movies on the external drive, then add them to iTunes by dragging the files to iTunes while holding the option (alt) key down so it leaves the files where they are located. There are other ways to move them if they are already added but they can be more involved and tricky. If it's just one or two try: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=relocateselected

Create an iCloud backup before sending it in for repair. Also consider making a second backup on your computer using iTunes (connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer purchases). If you have photo stream photos that you want to save, save them to your camera roll before backing up and they will be backed up too.
When you get it back from repair, restore the backup as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766. Your iPod should then look just as it does now.

How do I sync my iCloud photos and music to my iPad?

How do I sync my iCloud photos and music to my iPad?

Welcome to the Apple Community Bendy One.
For photos, settings > iCloud > photos > on.
For music, you can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.
