I can’t understand why the iPads won’t play my music videos. After all, I did purchase them from the iTunes Store, and even thought I a few iPads, I should be able to move all my stuff to each iPad. So, why is my iPad saying “only music only”?

Home Videos in my iTunes library not appearing on my iPhone Hey all, I'm having a bit of a problem with my Home Videos. I have videos in the "Home Videos" section of my iTunes library, and I can watch them on my laptop just fine, but they're nowhere to be seen on my iPhone. I've made sure that both my iOS and version of iTunes are up to date, and I've synced my iPhone using iTunes to do so. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

Why can't I download a 'home video' from my iTunes library onto my iPhone (apple tv app)? I have a home-recorded video in my iTunes Library (Mac Mini). I can connect my iPad and copy ("sync") selected videos from the library onto the iPad, when the iPad mounts as a 'device' in iTunes. However, when I do a similar thing with my iPhone (a new iPhone 12), it does mount as a device in iTunes and I see it in iTunes (left sidebar). But when I check any of its sub-areas (Movies, TV Shows) they are empty, except for Music (which has a couple of audiobooks) -- and the video categories remain empty even after I do a 'sync'. On the iPad, I can select videos (when set on the Library/Home Videos left-sidebar) and 'drag' the videos onto the iPad icon in the left sidebar. That works nicely. When I try the same thing when the iPhone is connected, nothing happens. Alternatively, I can select the iPhone icon in the left sidebar and (right-click) select Sync. iTunes shows that it's going through 4 steps but nothing ends up on the iPhone (in its Apple TV app). What can I try next?

Where are you looking for the videos?

Why can I get my music video on my iPad which was purchased from the iTunes Store?

You didn't answer my question. Where are you looking for the videos? Did you purchase them directly on your iPad from the iTunes Store?
