Video Tab in Itunes missing!!!  Where did it go??

I just recently got an iPod Video and installed Itunes and have spent the past few days getting it loaded with stuff. I have some small videos that were suitable to play on it so I installed those and things were good. Tested them, they installed fine, they played, life was great.
Now at the end of the whole process I go to add a few more movies and they aren't loading. (still lots of room on the Ipod it's a 30GB with about 20GB free) While trying to figure out the issue, I notice in the 'Preferences' tab it shows "music, Podcasts, Contacts" but no 'Video' tab in there. When I drag and drop a video it says that it isn't playable. What gives? I guess the iPod forgets it can do video but it still has the video tab onthe iPod itself.
I've tried resetting, removing and reinstalling iTunes and even restoring the iPod.
HELP!!!!

Guess this is a bit of a unique problem. Last night after posting, I deleted and reinstalled iTunes, updated and restored the iPod, plug into different USB ports, reset the iPod, the whole thing and nothing seemed to get my 'Video' tab back or let me put videos on the iPod.
I finally tried the 'reset iPod' choice in the iPod menus just after a fresh install of iTunes and now it seems to work - I have my video tab back and can install. Don't know why or if this is a full fix - basically I just put videos on the iPod and quickly unplugged it from the computer before anythign could decide that the videos should get deleted again.

    LR4.1RC The Moiré brush is missing - where did it go?

    To be clear in LR4.0 there is a Moiré in the develop module when you click on the adjustment brush at the top right. In LR4.1RC the Moiré option is missing. I'm guessing tis is a bug and that Adobe didn't intentionally remove it.

  • My Library folder is missing-where did it go?

    My mail app has stopped working. It was suggested in another thread that I go to the mail folder in the Library folder and delete
    some items from the V2 file or folder. Problem is, I have no Library folder. Not there. Missing. Utterly confused. Searched all over the computer,
    and stil MIA. How does this happen. My HD was replaced earlier this week by Apple. Old one crashed and burned. Everything worked fine until last night.
    The mail won't open. Eberything else on computer works fine (so far). When I made a new folder and named it Library, box said name already in use. So this tells me it's hiding. How do I get it back. Any suggestions?

  • ITunes 8: Where did Importing/Burning prefs go?

    Just installed 8.0.0 on the office laptop, out of curiosity. Usually I avoid such early iterations. Where did the Importing and Burning tabs go? They're not in the Preference window anymore. They used to be on the Advanced tab. Now that tab only goes one deep, showing the location of the library. I can't find anywhere the place to change importing and burning preferences.

    When burning, after you select the playlist you want to burn and then click the "Burn Disc" button, the burning options will come up in a dialog there. You should be able to select the drive / audio or data CD / gap between songs, all the options that were in the Preferences > Advanced > Burning tab.
    For the importing options, you go to Preferences > General > Import Settings... mid-way down the page and this brings up a dialog to select your import settings.

  • Audio books tab in itunes missing

    Hi
    Hope someone can help me find my audio books. They used to appear in a tab in the itunes music section along with artists etc but now I can't find the catagory at all. Does anyone know what to do about this, I've tries tapping on the audio book as it's playing, in the control centre but this just took me back to music. Am Imissing something? Surely Apple didn't miss/forget/delete this in the upgrade;(

    Hey ginx13,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are looking for the audiobooks category in your music application. This category defaults to the "More" tab, and only appears if audiobooks are currently on your device (which it sounds like they are).

    Tired of tapping More? To rearrange the buttons, tap More, then tap Edit and drag a button onto the one you want to replace.

  • TS2972 I have turned on Home Sharing on my sister's HP and my MacBook Pro but there is no share section on either of our iTunes. Where did the share option go?

    I am trying to use the Home Sharing capabilities on my MacBook and my sister's HP Envy. I have turned Home Sharing both On and Off via Advance in the drop down from the top menu. When I turn Home Sharing Off then back On, it asks me for the Apple ID so I provide the same one on both then it tells me a little blurb about Home Sharing and I hit Done then the Share section on the left side of iTunes disappears. Where does it go and how do I make it come back? Thanks for yor help!

  • I can not find my itune credit where did it go and how do I get it back?

    I put my credit card on my account and then toolkit off. I used it for a purchase. Now that I have removed my credit card from my apple ID I can't find or use the itune credit I had before. Anyone help me please.

    I did notice that you are on a Mac.
    Did you read my above reply?
    This change happened because the View menu got a cleanup
    *[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513168 bug 513168] - Remove "Stop" and "Reload" from View menu

    (<i>Please do not comment in bug reports: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html</i>)
    On a Mac the menu bar is maintained by the Mac OS, so the extension that can be used on other platforms to bring back this menu item won't work and because of that I didn't post it.
    There is an extension to bring back the Reload and Page Source items in the View menu.

  • App Library missing- Where did it go?

    When I launch itunes there is a drop down menu on the left. The default selection is Music. I would expect that when I select the drop down that I could chose from Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, and Apps. Apps is missing. How do I get it back so I can use iTunes to manage the apps on my device.

    Thanks for the quick solution, Tom. I was able to get the internal audio to work, but not the USB as you indicated, which apparently FCP3 supports, but not FCE4. I couldn't get Firewire to work with my Alesis DAW Firewire interface, but I'm guessing it works via Firewire if you're feeding it back through the camcorder... haven't actually checked it out yet, though. You'd think Apple would easily support any CORE audio device. Wonder if this is just a marketing thing.
    Again, Thanks.

  • Don't see my movies in Video tab of iTunes

    Can't sync movies with my iPhone 3G. Tab for video does not show any of the movies I have. Only TV shows that I have purchased.

    ruderudy,
    If you don't see any Movies underneath the "Sync Movies" portion, a good step to try is resetting sync history.

  • ITunes 8: Where did the "Importing/Burning" setting go?

    Since I've upgraded to iTunes 8, the Importing and Burning settings have disappeared from Preferences > Advanced.
    Anyone know where it is now?

    iTunes>Preferences>General, click on the "import Settings" button.
    There is no longer a global setting for burning, when you insert a blank CD and click on Burn Disc, a burn settings dialogue box opens so you can choose an individual setting for each disk you burn.

    On my desktop, it created a separate section called "rentals"
