"there are no TV shows in your itunes libray" error message

I get this error message when I go to front row to watch TV shows,
I have a brand new mac mini, the latest versions of itunes etc. and I have just bought a couple of TV shows from the itunes store - they show up in itunes, they have the box next to them ticked, I can watch them in itunes, but they don't show up in front row - video,
bizarrely they do show up in the music part of front row under the playlists part under "purchased" but of course if I play them there then I just get the sound and no image as if it were a song.
Can anyone help?

I had the same issue Kate was having (error message reading "There are no __ in your iTunes library," where __ could be movies, TV shows, music videos, etc.). My media files WERE correctly tagged by using the "Video Kind" feature Woggledog referred to, but I was still having trouble.
It turned out that the 1.3 update to Front Row solved the problem; that update was geared primarily to improving compatibility between iTunes and Front Row. You can download it via the "Software Update..." program (under the Apple menu), or here on Apple's support website.

    Hi, I was able to reformat my iPod and that worked. I read it on one of the threads and I am copy pasting the method below:
    I opened the "My Computer" window and right-clicked on my ipod, and then selected "Format". I select "Yes" to format since I don't have anything on the nano to delete anymore.
    I then Eject my nano from the computer and did a restart while the nano is disconnected from the computer.
    Once Windows finish loading I reconnect the USB to the nano(back of computer) which automatically pulls up iTune. It asked me to name the new ipod detected and created a playlist for that specific ipod name.

  • Is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file

    is there an easier way to transfer your iTunes library on windows to a mac than copying the library to a usb and plugging the usb into the mac and put the library in the iTunes file? I recently swapped to Mac and this is how i moved the library from windows to mac and library is in tact but is there an easier way? My cousin just imported her cd's again, but it was harder for me as i have an ipod with over 150 apps and i needed to move them. i think it would be helpful if i knew of an easier way so i can help a friend move his. Thanks

    The general method of use is to download a script (double-click or right-click and use Download or Save As...) to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist or sometimes the entire library.

  • There are no apps showing in Privacy Photos, Contacts, etc. HELP!!!

    I'm on iPhone 4, iOS 6. There are no apps showing in Privacy > Photos, Contacts, etc even if I have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram & other photo apps installed. Photos taken from the apps don't get saved to Camera Roll. Apps can't access Photo Library.
    When I try to access my Photo library from within any app, it says "This app does not have access to your photos or videos. You can enable access in Privacy Settings."
    I go to Privacy > Photos and there are no apps there unlike in my friends' iPhones. It just says "Apps that have requested access to your photos will appear here."
    This is the same problem with my Contacts related apps. I have apps like Viber and What's App.
    Similary, there are no apps showing in Privacy > Calendars, Reminders, Bluetooth.

    Oh my gosh. This worked perfectly!!!
    After allowing the changes, I just had to open the apps again (such as Instagram), then the pop-up asking to allow access to Photos appeared!
    And I thought I was going to get rid of my iPhone 4 already because of the issue.

    In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 14:
    Check your USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
    If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
    Try a different computer.
    If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
    If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.

  • "There are no Loops Installed on your System." Missing Loops?

    Hi everyone. I just purchased my very first Mac today and so far the experience has been great with the exception of two things. One of the things being that I don't seem to have loops on my Mac for GarageBand. When I open the Loop Browser, it simply says "There are no loops installed on your system," and gives me an empty loop browser. Did I miss something? Was I supposed to install the loops off of a disc or something? I would've assumed that the loops would've already been on my Mac, but please inform me if this is not true. Also, I still have all the discs that I got with my Mac since I just got it earlier today, so if anyone knows what discs the loops are on or any other way to get GarageBand Loops, please let me know. I'd appreciate your help very much. Thanks.

    Good.
    Do a search for this folder: "Apple Loops Index".
    There will likely be more than one, although only one folder probably has all your Indexed Loops.
    So, when you find the one with the "Search Index..." files, delete them.
    Then, open a project in GarageBand, open the Loops Browser, and drag that Loops folder onto the Loops Browser.
    Wait for it to index them, and you should be good to go.
    Good luck,

  • When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up for camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?

    When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up your camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?

    What do you mean by storage quota, does that mean i could be photo streaming about 1gb of photos and it does not get taken away from my free 5bg.

  • When downloading the new 10.7 update for itunes, an error message saying that there is an error writing to file, verify that you have access to this file comes up... what is this??

    When downloading the new 10.7 update for itunes, an error message saying that there is an error writing to file, verify that you have access to this file comes up... what is this??

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • When syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen.  have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing.

    when syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen.  have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing.  Ipad does not show up in itunes even though cable plugged in.  Have shut down and restarted Windows 7 computer.

    I had done all of that to no avail.  I did call Apple Tech Support and after he suggested I try a USB port in the rear of the Win 7 computer, things starting working again.  I had tried switching the USB port at the front of the machine but that had not helped.  Everything is good to go again.  thanks for  your reply

  • Error message in .docx : 'Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details Unspecific error Location: 2'

    I have put a lot of work into a docx document on my Mac, but now can't open it as it gives the error message: 'the Open XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. Details, Unspecific
    error, Location: 2'
    When opening the original file the message said: 'this file contains word 2007 for Windows equations' etc. but I managed to track changes fine, and saved, closed and re-opened it numerous times without problem. Some graphs seemed moved, and various formulas
    were illegible, but no other weirdness was observed.
