Why won't ALL movies appear?

All that I can successfully upload can be found in the home videos menu, but the rest that I try and move from my PC to iTunes just don't get recognised anywhere.
They won't play, even though I have set the 'open with' to iTunes.
The formats are the same as the films that successfully open. (MP4).
It's just SO irritating! What can I do that doesn't involve downloading any other programs to my PC?

Actually, they will also appear if they were purchased from iTunes on a connected computer. The main difference is that on the Apple TV, rentals will begin to play once the Apple TV has calculated that in enough has downloaded to ensure continuous playback, whereas rentals made on the computer must fully download before they are available on the Apple TV.

Why won't the movie I purchased on itunes not download to my ipod?

why won't the movie I purchased on itunes not download to my classic ipod. In ipod's summary, I checked "all" under sync for movies. I have the classic 160 gig ipod and have plenty of space. I unchecked "HD" and chose the 720 resolution. What next?

HI moveandshaker,
try to open itunes then drag the movies to your device.

Why won't album artwork appear on I pod Classic?

Why won't album artwork appear on I Pod Classic?

I have had this problem since iOS4 and I recently (mostly) resolved it in iOS6.
1. First make sure you do not 'Sign In' into iTunes store.
2. I used playlists to resolve the issue. Create a playlist with one song, preferably one that does not have any album art.
3. Create another playlist with all the songs you want to add.
4. With your iTouch/iPhone attached open iTunes. Go to Device->Music. Under Sync Music:choose "Selected playlists,albums and genres". Choose the one song playlist from those shown. Click on the Sync(Apply) button. This will delete all of the songs.
5. Once the deletion is complete choose the playlist with all the songs. Click on the Apply(Sync)button. This will install all the songs again and with album artwork.
6. Once all the songs have been installed click on all the playlists that you want to add (no new songs) and click on the Sync(Apply) button again.
You should now have your songs with album artwork and playlists installed. Hope this helps. The song in the one song playlist won't have any artwork even if it is included. There were some albums whose artwork were not installed. I had a 95% success rate. As I said, it mostly solves the problem for me.

Why won't all of my smart playlists sync from itunes to my ipad?

Why won't all of my smart playlists sync? They show up in the playlist screen of my ipad music app. When I click on the playlist, there are no songs listed. I sync it again, and the playlist now shows zero songs in the list. I keep trying to sync it, and it goes back and forth from showing there are 60 songs in the playlist, which I can't play, to showing zero songs. Please help.

Yes, sorry, you are correct, it was iTunes Match. I purchased storage on iTunes Match (probably a bad idea), because I had over 1000 songs on my i-phone 4S -which is eating up my storage space. Well, anyway...After I purchased it, I followed the instructions: go to: Settings, "open" music, "Turn on" iTunes Match. After I did that, I opened up the Music App -on my phone -ALL of my playlists were gone and only 208 songs showed... I messed up my phone once before and I had to log into my i-Tunes account (on my computer) and "reset" to another date. I would like to do that again -if possible...
Please help!

Why won't my .mov or my .mp4 movie play in Keynote 4.0?

Others on the forum seem able to play movies in their keynote projects. I can't.
When the slide I have placed the movie comes up, the movie plays for a second or so and then quits while the next slide comes up. What am I doing wrong? The movie is just over 2 minutes long. Why won't it play?
Any help will be appreciated. I'm new to using Keynote. I've enjoyed making builds with music on mulitiple slides, but dang it, I can't seem to make a simple .mov or a .mp4 movie work. I'm guessing I'm missing something very basic. Please help.

If I am understanding your problem correctly, this is unfortunately a bug (or simply an unsupported feature) in Keynote that has not been corrected since the very beginning. Currently, the only way to have a movie play properly through is to:
1) make sure the slide containing the movie has no delay in the transition to the next slide, and
2) you will need to create transparent objects (like a square), each building in a set amount of seconds (60 seconds max allowable per object). For example: For a three minute movie, you will need to create an object, build it in over 60 seconds. Then copy and paste for the second object only this time, set it to start building in AFTER the previous build. Copy and paste again, set to build after the previous build, only this time, you will need to adjust the 60 seconds down to whatever fits. When the last object is done building, the slide will transition regardless of whether or not the movie is done playing.
It is a complete waste of time as trying to determine the duration of the last object to build in is totally trial and error. I am amazed that this simple feature (playing a movie within a slide) is hampered.

Why won't my PHOTOS appear when move from OS( to OSX? Get Unix files!

This is the problem with keeping photos electronically. I copied a number of jpeg photos from my G4 OS 9.2 to my G4 Dual OSX via SanDisk and they all appear in the desktop as Unix files! Are they worthless?

Hi Studedot,
no, they are not useless. First try to double-click one. Does it open? Does it open in the correct program?
Click any photo and type Apple-i to get the information window. In the lowest third of the window you can see a pop-up menu called "Open with". Select the desired application and finally click "Apply to all".
From now on the icon should be o.k. and they should open with the assigned application.
If this answered your question please consider granting some stars: Why reward points?

Why won't it move emails to trash?

I'm trying to delete emails in iOS7 on my iPad, but keep getting message that it cannot move to trash, so they stay in my inbox.
Why?

There are a few things that you could try to fix it :
First try closing the Mail app via the multitasking bar and see if you can delete emails after you re-open the app :
iOS 7 : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Mail app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with Mai 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If the above doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
A third thing to try is to go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

Why is the "All Movies" selection missing from Purchased Movies on Apple TV?

THere is no longer an option to search "all" of my Purchased iTunes movies in the Apple TV menu. It was nice to just scroll through all of the movies alphabetically. Now I can only search by ---- RECENT , SHARED, OR BY GENRES. This can sometimes be frustrating because a movie might not be listed in the Genre it Should be I.e. The Outlaw Josey Wales is not listed in Westerns but in Drama , or Big Hero 6 is in Action & Adventure not Kids & Family etc.
IS there anyway to activate this under some setting , or is it gone for good ? If gone is there a way to petition for the option to be brought back ?

We're just fellow users here and have no information as to why the episode might be missing, if it is. My guess would be some sort of rights hangup with a guest artist, the episode director, or something like that, but that's just a guess. You can try contacting the iTunes Store and asking:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
but I suspect that they'll have no information, at least none they can make public.

Why won't my apps appear on a new page .

When installing a new app. It won't go onto a new page and just disappears. What can I do ???

How many homescreens do you have on your iPad ? There is a limit of 11 after which they can only be accessed via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right). If that is the case then you could connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and use the screen mock-ups on the device's Apps tab to move your apps into app folders so that more apps are visible (you should be able to access the non-visible homescreens on that tab as well).
Or do you have an app age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them ?
If neither of those then have you tried a reset to see if they appear after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Why won't QT movies play on some computers?

when i export from FCP 5 using H.264 or mpeg4, i'm getting mixed results with windows users - most can play the files just fine, but there's been a few, with QT 7 installed, that report seeing the QT player but not being able to see and/or hear video/audio. however, when i convert using Sorrenson3, that solves the problem but i'm still baffled why the issues on some windows machines and not others, all w/QT 7.
any insight would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
JK
dual 2GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

hmmmnnn... am i the only one having these issues? seems odd 'cause i've spoken with another FCP user who had the exact same problems with their QT files on the web.
could it be a speed/memory/video card issues on the windows computers? i'm throwing that out there 'cause the 2 machines i know of that are having the problems viewing the movies are run-of-the-mill dell boxes... nothing fancy just standard workstations, both bought in the last 2yrs.

Why won't Quicktime movie upload to YouTube?

I made a Flip-4-Mac video using handheld Flip video device....then uploaded to my iMac as an .avi file. Decided to upload to YouTube but file was nearly 30 minutes long.... so then used the QuickTime Player 10.0 (133) 'trim' feature to divide video into 3 (not quite equal) parts. This left me with 3 separate videos labeled Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. They are .mov files.
Using QuickTime's 'Upload to YouTube' option, I began upload of Part 1. During upload, a message appeared saying audio might not be in sync, and then I got an error message saying upload couldn't be completed.
Anyone have any ideas? Is the VeeScope Converter an option?

Thanks, but the instructions within those links are too over the top for me. Will have to find a techie to help sort it out. Appreciate the links and will print out the info.
Then switch your editing work flow to one that forces recompression of your files for sharing to YouTube. The fact that your current work flow goes from AVI to MOV file containers implies you could be using a "Save as..." operation rather than an H.264/AAC conversion. This means your MOV file main still contain whatever audio and video codecs were used to create the original AVI file. Since you did not tell us what compression formats are involved here, provide a specific work flow, indicate the duration or target display involved, all we can do is make guesses at what problems you may be experiencing and their possible solutions. If you do not understand the instructions as provided by YouTube for optimal uploads, the use an editing app that also shares your edited files directly to YouTube as such apps should export the edited content using compression formats currently compatible with the YouTube web site software.

Why won't MVI movie files sync to iPad?

I sync home photos and movies between my iMac and iPad. I first take pictures & videos with a camera, download into iPhoto on my iMac, then sync to my iPad. My problem is with movies.
I use two different cameras for movies -- a Sony and a Canon. All works fine with movies taken with a Sony camera, which after downloading to iPhoto, appear as a 'MOV###" file. Those files sync and play everywhere, including on my iPad.
However, movies I shoot with a Canon camera download into iPhoto as a "MVI###" file. Those files play fine in iPhoto on my iMac but will not sync to my iPad.
When I attempt to sync those MVI movies to my iPad I get a warning message saying 'those files did not sync because they can not be played on iPad'
How do I get those MVI movie files to sync to the iPad?
I assume the problem is a formating issue,... but I don't know how to go about the best fix.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

1, I don't think it's worth swapping the Canon camera for something else only because of this incompatibility. (BTW, which model is it?)
2, I've tested the workflow myself with my Canon G1X and Canon S100 videos, with the above-mentioned ipadfix.py file and directly synching videos imported / dragged to the desktop iPhoto via the "Photos" tab in iTunes. Unfortunately, iPhoto doesn't have any H.264 level adjustment (which would be sufficient) capabilities.
All in all, you can do the following to simplify the workflow: before importing to iPhoto, run the ipadfix.py script to set the H.264 level to an iPad-compliant one. It's only after this that you should import the video to iPhoto. Then, iTunes will happily synch the file from iPhoto to the iPad.
Another option is the above-mentioned QT export, but, as I've pointed out, it WILL degrade the image quality as it, instead of changin a single descriptor byte in the file, recompresses(!) the entire thing.
In addition, also send a request to Apple to remove this absolutely unnecessary limitation, pointing out that a lot of cameras out there (most current Canon models) use H.264 level 5.0 by error, and Apple makes it impossible to synch the videos created by these cameras to iPads absolutely unnecessarily. (They don't allow to synch anything over level 4.1.)
