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

Movies from iTunes show poster art with the name of the movie on it.

If they are from other sources, tag them with art work.

In iTunes select the movie, right click select get info.

Open the artwork tab, drag image into window.

Or use a tool such as identify.

iChas,

You don't have to change each movie individually! Highlight the ones you want to change to "Home Movie", right click, and select "Get Info". You'll get a box asking if you're sure you want to change multiple items. Click "Yes", make your change, and click O.K. Just be aware, you can only change files of the same type at one time. In other words, if you've downloaded a movie with iTunes extras, (and have modified the extras so they are transferrable to iPad) their status of the "extras" must be changed separately from the film itself.

FYI. I have resorted to setting up a WD my book live NAS drive. It is a 2 Terabyte drive that you just plug in into your Ethernet network. It has a gigabit interface. The only problem I had was the ipad video app WD supplies requires uPnP. My time capsule does not support uPnP for security reasons. I did find another video ipad app that works fine. So I have one standard WD my book 2terabyte drive with my 1,300 movies connected to my Mac mini with iTunes running Home Share serving movies to our 4 AppleTVs and this new WD my book live NAS with a second copy of my 1,300 movies serving out movies to our two ipads. The ipad video app that workers with the WD my book live NAS is called "Moliplayer HD" . The WD my book live NAS costs about $130.00 . can

You All are making it Way Too Hard on Yourselves! Get Moli Player at app store (free version works as well)

Put all your Videos in That Player's Folder Instead of Ipad's Folder and You're Done!

All 200 of my Videos have Names on them.

If you wait for Apple to Fix it You'll be in Slobbering in Diapers by Then!

You don't have to buy another device, why not simply use one of the many other iOS video apps that you can find in the App Store? The issue with Apple's Videos app is unfortunate, and it's frustrating that Apple don't seem to be improving it but are instead making it worse in some respects, but it's not like there are no alternative apps, there are plenty in fact, several of them free too.

The main problem with the alternative video apps is they don't work with iTunes Home Sharing, but then many people don't seem to use that facility and are looking for a video app that works mainly or exclusively with videos that are stored on the iPad or iPhone itself, so it's not really an issue for them. And there are several video apps that can stream videos from other networks and webservers, etc. so it's not an insurmountable issue.

It's one thing to point out the flaws in Apple's Videos app and hope for improvements, it's another thing altogether to pretend that they make watching videos on iOS devices impossible. That's certainly not the case at all.

One doesn't have to go through movies changing one by one.

I had this same issue.

Select all the movies, >command i >videos > options > choose >Home video

I will go change that setting in all the movies.

The changes will take awhile, depending upon your computer.

It did allow me to find the movies by title in the iPad.

I posted the same thing. The I synced my iPhone and iPad and the software recognized that they were home videos and saved them as such and it shows the names. Just resync and it should work.

sullyinia's fix worked for me.

Changing types to Home Video worked.

I have a dozen or a bit more videos that are all about one subject (High Altitude Ballooning). It was driving me crazy seeing a bunch of thumbnails all of large helium balloons getting prepped for flight. I really needed the title to help me pick the correct video to airplay to our projector.

iChas,

There are 3 ways to get artwork for your movies, and the artwork always has the title on it.

1. If you download from iTunes the artwork is included.

2. Go online. Google "DVD Covers". Many sites will come up from which you can either download (or copy) artwork. Once you have the image, right click to "Copy". Then (in iTunes) go to the "Movies" page (or Unwatched, or Home Videos), find the box for the movie in question, right click, and click on "Get Info". Go to "Artwork", right click in the box, and paste the image in. Then click "O.K.

3. If you happen to be transferring the movie from a DVD, you can (assuming you have a scanner), scan the DVD cover, bring up the image and then copy/paste it in the "Artwork" page as described in #2.

The issue that everyone is annoyed about is the fact that with the new iOS7, the title which used to appear below the artwork is no longer there, even though it exists on the "Get Info" page.

The Simplest Answer is use The Moli Player App or, another player similar to it from The App Store. Delete your Videos from Ipad's Player and, put them in Moli Player's Folder and Presto! (It's also a Better Player.)

Moving to Plex and installed the Plex App...

I run both iTunes and Plex on my Mac Mini... iTunes for my Apple TV and Plex Server for my iPad and iPhone

I have Plex scan my iTunes library, wish Apple would make iTunes more like Plex!

Unfortunately, I have dozens of movies that I now need to change the type to 'HOME VIDEOS', just so I can get the text to appear under the icon. Not a good feature!

If you simply uncheck all your videos, then sync your iPad. Then re check them, and sync again your problems will be solved.
