My ipad VIDEOS app doesn't show the movie Names with IOS 7

Unfortunately adding artwork only works if the movie is imported into iTunes, then placed on your portable device. If you keep large files, like movies, on an external hard drive in order to keep your computer's hard drive free, then the artwork modification tab is greyed out and non-functional. I drag most of my movies from the hard drive directly to my iPad to keep the space free. The other fix of modifying something under the Get Info option will provide the file name in the center of movie graphic displayed in the list. I just hope a fix is coming. Plenty of display space exists around the movie icons; this should never have been an issue.

I hope Apple is reading this. No video names is ridiculous and one of the beta testing areas that is hard to imagine that they missed. This is a problem on both my iPad Mini and iPhone 5.

I agree with the PITA comments. Just piping in with the hope that someone at Apple will read this thread if there are enough chatter on a post.

I tried this and it worked...

In itunes..i clicked on one home movie, renamed it as Movie, resynced, then now in my ipad i get two selections

Home Videos and Movies

Movies dont have titles, but Home videos do

Go back to Get Info

select Options

choose Home videos, but have one or so as a Movie..

that should work

So because some "Genius" at Apple decides to take away basic file name information from an existing feature for years, we as customers are supposed to find a work around? Hopefully at least one more head will roll inside of this company. There are several other things that should have never made it past Beta...

Makes me wonder if Apple hasn't entered another downhill slide like they did with the PowerPC revolution.

I agree - removing file names, removing 'watched' badges, and no longer showing 'time remaining' for video files all make for a lousy UX when you have several files to navigate

INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING. And heaven forbid you wanted to go one step further and not even see an icon of the movie (even if it had the name of the movie below it), and just wanted a "list" of movies. For over 10 years I have been a die hard Apple devotee. But over the past couple of years they have been more focused on flashy graphics and transitions instead of form.

"I can't believe this is the intended functionality." The amazing part is that you would think that someone have to affirmatively take that feature out - it's not like they forgot to put it in (because it was there with IOS 6). As I grapple with this issue this morning, I am incredibly frustrated. I have a lot of "home movies" that I am no longer able to quickly distinguish unless I actuallly click the icon. And when I go to iTunes and "get info" they are already categorized as "home movies" (under "options"). My whole family owns everything Apple - but for the past year I have become incresingly frustrated with the functionality of many of their products.

I may have found a solution. I was having the same problem as above and I lost titles to my instructional "videos" when I updated to iOS. I then created a playlist and added my instructional videos to that playlist and now instead of showing as "Movies" in the iPhone app, it shows as "Home Videos" and it lists the name of each file now.

One added benefit to doing it this way, that I see, is that this way it goes from one video to the next in the playlist without my interaction. Which really benefits me when driving which is usually when I'm listening to them.

HTH.

I agree. This must be a bug. Why? Because Apple would probably not design such an app with so much unused white space between the images with the (iTunes) artwork. (this is me just hoping for a fix if course😮)

SOLUTION: Thank you to everyone on this thread to leading me to what I believe is a solution. Here goes: when I updated to IOS7 on my iPad mine, I had a "play list" of movies that I shot with my iPhone. These movies were classified as "home videos" under "get info" (iTunes - click on movie - file - get info - options - media kind - select home video). An earlier poster suggested that the "media kind" had to be set to "home video" and not "movie" for the name of the movie to be displayed under the icon. I thought that was in error, because my movies WERE set to "home video". However, once I plugged my iPad mini into my computer and did a fresh sync with iTunes, the movie names appeared beneith the icon. One poster said the key was to put the movies in a playlist. So I did an experiment. I put some movies in a play list, and some movies I didn't. I synched. ONLY the movies with the "home video" designation displayed the name, whether or not they were in a playlist. Those movies that had designation of "Movie" did not display the name, whether or not they were in a playlist. So I have concluded that the key is the "Home video designation" and a fresh sync with iTunes. Hopes this helps.

I have all my videos in Home sharing so I can watch them on my ipads or one of my 4 AppleTV's. We have over 1,300 videos ! this is a show stopper. how do Igo back to ios6 ?
