Video descriptions no longer showing up

Hi Guys,
I have the Apple TV 2. After the recent update that came down, I am no longer able to see the description for a video that is in my iTunes lib. I just get the cover, name and time.
Has this been taken out? It's really annoying as I like the descriptions!! Another thing that would be useful is the ability to scroll long descriptions.
Actually, I have noticed that after an iTunes update, all the descriptions have been cut off after a set number of characters! All that bloody work in IMDB Whats going on??

See Topic: [metadata problems after update|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2776725]. Using some Applescript (discussed in that thread) that copies the contents of the description field to the long description field fixed the issue for me. I just have to remember to run the script after adding new movies and tv shows until the bug is fixed.

  • App update descriptions no longer showing in iTunes 12.0.1

    Greetings,
    Since updating to Yosemite and iTunes 12.0.1.26, the app update descriptions do not show.
    Any app screen would look like this:
    Main file info is readable, but no text about the update.
    Others having the same issue?

    Same here - since updating to Yosemite (with iTunes 12.0.1.26).  I'm surprised it hasn't gotten patched yet.  I guess they're bundling several fixes before pushing out the first update to Yosemite.

  • Video camera no longer showing up

    Have a Panisonic DV cam that was working ok on my G5 1.8GHz. Can't remember exactly when it stopped working, before or after Leopard install. System Profiler correctly identifies the camera as a FW device when it's plugged in.
    Also have a Mac Mini running Leopard that sees the camera ok. I'm thinking this might be a firewire driver conflict as I have other devices, including an external audio card built-in to my CME keyboard.
    But before I go getting rid of my fw drivers, thought I'd see if anyone had other suggestions. The only fw devices used are a WD Mybook drive, the CME soundcard, and the DV cam.

    I actually found a number of my videos in iPhoto and have created a new folder on desktop. I have moved the clips there and backup things up using Time Capsule. I know that many people may think that Time Capsule is antiquated and they're using iCloud. For those of us that don't use iCloud for photos, etc. I think you need to have a folder of items on your desktop in order to be saved in Time Capsule. Just thought I's share my experience and prevent others from troubles.
    I just don't understand why items (that previously existed in iMovie) are no longer appearing due to Yosemite upgrade.

  • My video clips no longer show the video, just audio.

    I have a video with stills and video.  After a few changes (I know I changed the duration length of the stills and I was also trying to make sure that everything fit to the frame instead of being cropped) now the movie plays the audio portion of the clip but instead of playing the video it shows nearby still or a frame from a later video.  Help!  I don't want to have to start all over again!

  • My ipod and itunes is no longer showing the music videos i purchased..

    im pretty new with ipods and my ipod and itunes arent showing the two music videos i had on there. Even the songs that went with the music videos are no longer on the itunes or my ipod. how do i fix this?
    60 gb video   Windows XP  

    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • My IPOD Classic Video 5. Gen. showed videos, but now it does no longer show them, instead i see a black picture on my IPOD and it doesn`t work. I have to restart it every time, i try it. i restore the software with itunes, but the problem still exists.

    The Videos are showed up front 4 months, but now they are no longer to be seen. When you star a video first the hard drive starts, but then it stops and hangs up. I have to restart it, starting with the apple logo....

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

  • Why do music videos no longer show up properly?

    After updating to OS5 I notice that music videos no longer show up properly.  
    I have most of mine in playlists, and it show the songs, but only plays the music, not the video?  
    When I view them in 'Videos' I have no option to sort or show them in a different way! 
    Considering the iPad is probably more slanted toward movie content, the lack of features for music videos is very disapointing

    I think this has always been a lacking feature in the iPad videos app but now it is even worse as you can't go into the music app, context navigate to the video you want and play the music video.  It was irritating in the past as it took you back to the lack luster videos app with no sorting or context other than the video tile navigation, now it is TOTALLY un functional.
    APPLE DEVOLPMENT please use the video app with 200+ music videos and see how you like it!  Or does anyone know of a replacement or more advanced app that will allow a better browse and play interface. Apple's is so basic that it is 'still' just painful!
    Music video playlist and shuffle on the iPad would also be nice but sort would be awesome!
    Thanks for any info from anyone on this topic that I have long hopped to be resolved but it is going backward and we are loosing features.
    The new music interface isn't any better in my opinion either, play buttons at the top so your hand has to be over the top of the screen,  store button at the bottom left vs top right as it would be more intuitive like other app purchase button positioning. 
    Anyone know how to make music videos sort better on the iPad (by artist would be awesome)

  • My ipad is no longer showing all my videos, even though i have the option set to show all, even those that are in my cloud. I can't do anything to get all my videos to re-appear. any help?

    My ipad is no longer showing all my vidoes, even though i have the option set to show all, even those that are in my cloud. Any suggestions??

    Close the videos app and launch it again.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    if they still don't show up after you launch the app again, try resetting the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I just upgraded to Lion and switched my web page from MobileMe to Godaddy. But since upgrading to Lion a video I placed on my web page no longer shows up. instead I get "plug-in failure". That didn't happen until the Lion Upgrade what do I do?

    I just upgraded to Lion and switched my web page from MobileMe to Godaddy. But since upgrading to Lion a video I placed on my web page no longer shows up. instead I get "plug-in failure". That didn't happen until the Lion Upgrade what do I do?

    What's the format of your video? That will give you a hint as to what plugin is failing (or missing).
    If you don't know, what's the URL of your site - it shouldn't take long for someone to work out the specifics.

  • My computer will no longer stream videos? The videos are choppy and show static?

    Hello! My macbook pro just recently stopped streaming videos from facebook, youtube, hulu, etc... The videos are choppy and show static. The sound play back is fine but the picture is definitely unclear. I was hoping that there was a simple solution to this as I have never had an issue with this computer before.
    Thanks,
    Charlotte

    Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
    Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

  • Video will no longer play, cannot add video content either.

    Since this afternoon, iTunes video will no longer play. Not movies, not TV shows. I checked and music and podcasts still play. I thought it might be a conflict between purchased video vs video I added from my DVDs, but no such luck. Purchased content will not play. Nor can I add any new video, whereas I added a new TV show episode this morning.
    If I go into the iTunes LIbrary file and select a video and choose "Play with Quicktime" the video plays just fine. But if I select "Play with iTunes" nothing happens. At all. Not even an error code. It's like I didn't select anything. If I try to add content by the keystroke "command O" and choose the file … again, nothing. No error. Just no response at all. When I open that file on my computer, select "Play with Quicktime", then choose "Share with iTunes" inside Quicktime I do finally get an error. "This file cannot be shared (error 206)". I looked up this error code and found this: "The filename or extension is too long." This does not make sense. The file names are fine and the extensions are exactly what I always use to add content to iTunes.
    So it's like the entire video portion of iTunes has ceased to function. Any clues?
    iTunes 10.4.1
    OS 10.6.3

    There are a g-zillion posts sharing your problem... but still no answer from Apple. The odd thing is that it is not affecting all of us.
    I share your problem and it's doing my head in... if somebody mentions the 5 bloody R's again...!!!
    Before updating to 1.2, ask yourself... how bad do you you really want Tetris????

  • Since an update about a month ago, iTunes no longer shows which songs on an album I've previously purchased. Anyone know why?

    Somce an update about a month ago, iTunes no longer shows which songs on a particular album I've previously purchased. Does anyone know why? For example, I purchase a number os songs fro Glee individually. When a new compilation album comes out, iTunes used to indicate which ones I've already purchased. Now it doesn't.

    you could use this script:
    Track Down Purchases 
    This script will examine each track in a selection of tracks or a selected playlist to determine if it was purchased from the iTunes Store and then copies it to a discrete playlist named for the person who purchased it, eg: "Steve Ballmer's Purchased Music". Recognizes song, video, and audiobook purchases. Purchaser information is gleaned by examining the track's file, which, depending on file location and access speed, can take as long a second per track.

  • My iphone4 no longer shows my music files??  They don't appear in iTunes either but my music is still there as 1) the 'summary' shows 28gigs

    My iPhone is driving me insane!  It started having problems synching the phone to iTunes (basically, iTunes was saying that it couldnt recognize the phone).  After hours and hours trying to resolve the issue I found some advice on the internet.  I downloaded iPhone Explorer and deleted a couple of files as suggested &amp; this resolved the problem.  The phone started to synch again and updated the phone with the latest software.  However, the 'Summary' was showing all my music/video files as 'Other'.
    I've since synched the phone &amp; the problem is now even worse!!!  My iPhone no longer shows any music/videos, even when I connect to iTunes!  However, the summary still shows a capacity of 28 gigs so the music files are still in the phone?!?  Likewise, I've checked the phone files using iPhone Explorer &amp; the music files are still in the phone?!?
    Does anybody have any idea how to fix this problem.  I've only got half of music library backed up so dont want to restore as I'll lose half of my music library!

    I'm happy to totally restore the phone.......once I have completely backed up my music files!  I can't back up in the normal way as the music files are not recognized in the iPhone or iTunes.
    The original problem occurred as a result of a corrupted synch.  This seems to be a problem a LOT of people have had (based on all the Internet research I've done).  I did everything suggested (uninstall/reinstall iTunes, update iTunes, reset iPhone, use a different USB port, use a different connection cable, update drivers, restart computer with iPhone connected......and nothing worked!!!).  Having spent days and days looking for an answer I eventually found a solution that was supposed to work.  It was suggested that I download the 'iPhone Explorer' software and delete a couple of directory files which I did.  This partially resolved the issue, iTunes recognized the iPhone and updated the iOS software.
    Quite simply, the music media files are still in the iPhone, it just doesn't recognise which directory the music cache is in.  I need to either:-
    * figure out how to get the iPhone to find the correct directory again or:
    * figure out how to extract the remaining music files to create a complete back up and then restore the iPhone

    The situation is as following. All servers are Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise.
    We have clustered 2 virtual servers FP001 and FP002, for now FP001 is running all services:
    Connection Broker, MSDTC, Fileserver, Printserver, SQL Server. 
    For the Remote Apps: Apps were made on TS001 and TS002, both these servers are added to a tsfarm on the Connection Broker. A virtual IP was made on the firewall linked to a failover between the two Terminal Servers. This IP was linked to DNS name: tsfarm.contoso.local.
    I have checked WMI en COM+ security settings but they all seem fine, nothing changed. I have restarted both Terminal Servers but no effect. Restarting FP001 and FP002 had no effect either. 
    Any assistance is welcome!

    I finally got it to work by going to the WebAccess website, then configuration and changing the source from Connection Broker cb001.contoso.local to Remote App Source tsfarm.contoso.local. 
    However this is not how it should be done I suppose.. Any idea why linking the farm works but linking the connection broker were the farm has been set as source does not?
