Trouble streaming .mp4 movies from one iTunes computer to another

I have been unable to stream .mp4 movie files from my computer to another using iTunes. The .mp4 files are sitting on an external usb hard drive. All of the files have been added to iTunes library but not the iTunes folder. I tried changing the .mp4 extensions to .m4v to no success. The files do play in itunes but won't stream between computers. The one computer is running 32bit and the other 64 bit. I also tried placing files into the iTunes music folder and that has also been without success. The only thing I have been able to do is streaming .mp4 files that had to be converted by iTunes so they could be played on an iphone. I have tried streaming with home sharing on and with it off. Does any one have any ideas as to why I can't stream and how I can fix this.

Using Ethernet, I am attempting to stream the movies on my computer to my girlfriends computer through iTunes home sharing. I want to watch the movies that are on one computer on another.

    Locate them in the Windows Explorer, move or copy those files as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window when the second library is loaded. If you're using two iTunes libraries on one user account, you only need to locate the files; otherwise, they need to be put in a shared area.

  • How do you transfer movies from one iTunes library to another?

    I want to transfer my iTunes library from one user account to another on OS X Lion. I can't seem to do this without receiving a profuse of permission errors. I don't mind being unable to transfer the movies, apps, etc. because I can retreive those from iCloud, but I have a dozen movies that I don't want to lose.
    Any ideas?

  • How do I move movies from one iTunes library to another?

    I am consolidating two copies of my iTunes library. One copy has movies that the other does not. I am decommissioning the old library. How do I move the movies from the old library to the new library?

    Locate the movie files, open the new library, and drag them into the open iTunes application window.

  • Moving iTunes HD Movies from one authorized computer to another

    It is now possible to purchase HD movies on iTunes which is a good thing. Unfortunately, if I wish to use an iPod to transfer the HD movie, the movie changes from HD to "regular" even though there is plenty of space on the iPod for the HD movie.
    Unfortunately, I downloaded the movie on my iMac instead of my MacBook Pro. I really wanted to plug the video projector into the laptop to get the HD on the big screen.
    Anyone have some easy suggestions for transferring HD movies?
    Thanks.

    Control-click it in iTunes, choose to show it in the Finder, move the file to the MacBook Pro as you would any file, and then drag it into the open iTunes window.

  • Transferring Movies from one iTunes account to another

    Hello,
    To kind of get a feel of what I'm working up to here, here's the short version of what's going on.
    A while back I purchased an Ipad 2 and had my normal icloud account. I had purchased MANY movies and shows on the ipad and that particular account. My issue being is now that I have my macbook pro, I have no way of actually getting those movies over from my ipad onto my macbook because the movies were purchased in another acount. (Now how, I'm not sure.)
    Is there a way to transfer these from a normal itunes account to an icloud account? I dont have any of them downloaded on my ipad because it takes up a lot of storage and I only download as I watch them and then delete the loaded movies when I'm done.
    Any help would be great.

    Not without buying them again. If applicable, authorize the computer with the old Apple ID and then follow these instructions instead; if they're not applicable, you'll need to buy the movie again anyway.

  • Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
    If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.

  • How do I copy songs from one itunes library to another itunes library on the same computer?

    I want to share some songs in my iTunes library with my granddaughter's iTunes library, both of which are located on the same computer.  I managed to copy one of the songs through Finder to the location where the music resides, but it doesn't appear when I access her iTunes.  Can someone tell me an easy way to copy only certain songs from one iTunes library to another iTunes library on the same computer?

  • Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

    Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I find it hard to believe that this information isn't clearly available somewhere, but it isn't and I don't think I've seen anyone here who is 100% sure. However, I believe you can have up to 10 associated devices, which include authorised computers (of which you can have up to 5), I suspect the Apple TV might become a temporary associated device while it's in use, but I'm not entirely sure myself.

  • How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another?

    How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another? My daughter has an iTouch, and I was managing it through my library. I have created an iTunes account for her, with a new iTouch, and would like to move the apps over. I tried to sync the old iTouch to the new library and it said it was already set up to sync with a different library. What is the best way to do this?

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    To make the new computer the syncing computer you have to:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases lIke I described above
    - Make a backup of the iPod on that computer by connecting the iPod and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPOd from that backup
    She will have to continue to use your iTunes ID to update the apps prchased with your account. To use her account she will have to log into the computer with her account (iTunes>Store) and change the sign in on the iPod by going to Settings>Store.

  • Transferring apps from one itunes account to another

    I bought the original IPad from a family member, so it was set up with there ITunes account and all of the apps that are on it. I would like to transfer everything that is currently on the IPad over to my computer with my ITunes account, without having to reset the IPad and purchase all of the apps all over again. I need to manage my IPad through my computer and ITunes account, not the one it was originally set up under.
    I have managed to do this with an IPod, so I can imagine it would be possible with an IPad.

    It's not possible to transfer purchases from one iTunes account to another
    Not trying to doubt you or anything but you probably did something else with the iPod such as use 2 accounts simultaneously in which case you would have to log out and in each time you needed to update

    Can I move music and movies from one icloud account to another of my icloud accounts?

    No.  Purchased music, movies and other iTunes media is permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase it and can't be transferred to another ID.  (Your purchases are stored in iTunes in the Cloud under the Apple ID used to purchase them.)
