ITunes For Mac :: Purchased TV Series / Movies And Music Downloaded To External HD - File Will Not Load
Nov 30, 2014
I have purchased itunes tv series, movies and music and have transferred them onto an external hard drive and tried to play them on my tv on a media hub. The file will not load. Is there some form of blocking by itunes or another p[roblem and how do I fix it?
This is my first time on here and I have only just bought a MacBook Pro (1st one) so sorry if this has been answered elsewhere.
I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4 - everything I have bought on iTunes has synced with my Mac and mobile devices. All my music, pictures TV shows and books have also synced with mobile devices and MacBook but for some reason the films I have purchased I need to buy again!!
Just got an iMac. iTunes purchased items such as music/ movies are not updated after iTunes installation - despite using same Apple Store ID and registering the iMac in the Apps Store account.
...now I don't have the same functionality with iTunes. Basically, I can't use iTunes at all anymore as the interface for my music and videos. Once the external drive is mounted, I can navigate through it and play individual songs, but I can't use iTunes to do that. All my previous Playlists show up down the left side of iTunes, but there isn't any music in them.
I downloaded 2 songs yesterday, made a Playlist out of them, and because the path in the Advanced tab of the iTunes Preferences is correct, it automatically added the songs to the external hard drive. I synced my iPod and it was completely erased except for the 2 new songs. Is there a way to use iTunes to navigate my music like I used to when I stored the information on the internal hard drive but keep the information on the external drive? I have a Mac running Snow Leopard and the latest version of iTunes.
I have an Intel iMac and wish to move the movies and music I have in ITunes to a WD 2TB MyBook Studio External Hard Drive, free up my hard drive and still use iTunes. What is the easiest way to move movies to the external drive and then wipe them off my computer to free up space.
I need to move the music and movies from my MacBook Air (original) to an external hard drive, after I do this, do I create a new music folder and media folder on my computer to load music/movies in via the dedicatd external drive and then would I be able to move the newly imported to the external drive which would be my main site of storage?
Info: MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4), Moving music/media
Recently purchased music and video appears in Purchased playlist, but not in Library. Tried reboot, toggling Match, Genius and Store on/off, now running out of ideas.
Info: MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
I love AirPlay. I use it on my iPod Touch the moment I get home to play music to my speakers connected via AirPort Express. I use it on my iPad too when i'm watching a movie..
Even on my MBP when listening to music from iTunes. But Movies in iTunes don't work. The AirPlay icon in a movie playing in iTunes only shows "computer" and doesn't show any other options.
The last three movies I've purchased from itunes do not have artwork. When I browse my movie collection, the picture for the movie is the icon for a blank piece of film. Anyway, other than finding a picture on the internet to get the artwork to show up?
Is there a way to play the movies i have purchased streaming on my PS3? I have ps3 media center loaded but all of the movies show up as corrupted when i try to play them.
I purchased a movie from Itunes and it tells me that I cannot play the movie because the computer is not authorized. It then tells me to download Itune 4 or beter. The computer is authorized and I am running Itunes 10.6. I am using X 10.5.8
I bought the film, "Woodstock," a couple of years ago thru iTunes. I see the film listed in iTunes and I see the actual file on my computer, but I cannot get it to play. It has played in the past. I was going to re-download thru iCloud, but it says it's already downloaded, which it is. I have also tried logging into iTunes using my other IDs but still it won't play. I also tried to open it in QuickTime, but I got this error message - <The document “Woodstock_ 3 Days of Peace and Music (Director's Cut).m4v” could not be opened. This content is not authorized.>
I downloaded an album to my MacBook. For the song I want to listen to the most, Itunes only plays part of the song and then switches to the next song. How should I rectify this situation?
I get the following error message "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." Some older movies still play fine. I am running iTunes 10.6.1(7) and Mac OS X 10.7.3.
My movies which were purchased on my iMac using my appleID are not appearing on my Apple TV2 using the same appleID. How can I make them appear? Aren't they all available in the iCloud?
I have purchased movies from itunes on my laptop but I can't find them on my PC. I can see the Tv shows that I have bought on laptop but not the movies. Does anyone know how I can find the movies?
I purchased a TV show from Itunes earlier, and while it was downloading it paused and didn't make any progress for a while so I pressed the little 'x' (on previous occasions it took only seconds to download). Now the show will only play up until 3 minutes in, how do I get it to load the whole show?
