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

thanks for the info; yeah, i can't understand how apple would screw this up; it's such an obvious problem!

Having the same annoying issue and I tried to update the artwork on the first twenty or so movies out of the two hundred plus I have. The only problem is is that sometimes the artwork shows up on the incorrect movies and makes that basically just as useless. Anyone else having similar issues?

Just on Home Sharing that is really an issue. Since I have that I don't load any on my ipad unless I'm going out of town.

I had the same problem. The only solution that I discovered was to reclassify every movie as a "Home Video". After I did that everything appeared as before. It is a real PIA (I have over 700 movies), but it was the only thing that worked for me, and believe me I tried every other sugesstion in this forum! It is sad that Apple has lost direction since Jobs died. The new crew should be working for Microsoft! Every software upgrade, including Maverick, is a complete disaster!

Two things. First: changing all your 700 movies Media Kind to "Home Videos" is no big deal because you can in iTunes in list view select all the movies and then go to Get info, under options change the Media Kind to "Home Videos". Hold down the Option Key when you press the OK putton. NOTE: All the items you select have to be the same kind.

The Second is : The pproblem I and some others are having is with the Video App on the iPad. When you click on "Sharing" ( to see all the movies being shared out by iTunes with Home Sharing turned on. ) that is where the titles are missing.

TW,

Thanks! I did initially make all the changes in iTunes using your method. However, when the videos were transferred to my iPad they did not work. I do not know why, but to make it work I had to do them individually in iTunes. In any instance, as loyal Mac customers, we should not have to scramble to find work arounds everytime Apple decides to change an operating system. I wanted to buy my wife a new iPad for her upcoming birthday, but she said there is know way she is going to upgrade and have even more problems.

The Apple 'Videos' app has always been a bit rubbish. Now it is even worse.

To have to mark everything as a 'Home Video' to get the titles - and then only a truncated version - is a joke for a company that supposedly prides itself on user experience.

A list view would be nice, either with or without thumbnails, just like in iTunes on a PC/Mac. Not difficult.

In fact, I might get my son to write me an app to do it. It cannot be that difficult.

Ya loss of all the names, plus my movie icons changed to different album covers is tough to tell what movie is what. Hope they fix it soon.

I agree, give us some view options like regular folders (thumbnails, covers, list, detail).

I suspect they turned off titles on Movies for motion picture industry protection, since "all" published commercial movies should have a suitable cover showing the title with other cheesy graphics. Thereby, making it harder to see what you might have obtained without paying the necessary royalties.😉

Home Videos will cover everything else and might not have a cover, so the need to show titles, truncated nonetheless.

With iOS 7 and changes made to iTunes, Apple is definitely heading down a different path. Not sure if it is a good one, though.

Thank you.

Apple, pull your finger out...!!!

we have 4 ipads in this household, and none of us are impressed, since we have 1 computer which ALL ipads are synced with which is purely for media, this creates huge problems...!!!

51920 Songs

1182 Movies

1458 Episodes of verious TV shows

and nearly 600 Home Movies...!!!

And now i have to rename or reclassify because you decided that having a name displayed is "untidy"...???

How arrogant is that...!!!

Gives us the choice so WE can decide what we want and what is usable...!!!

HI all this is an easy fix, for all copied & or DIY vids you created, but didnt purchase.

First remove all videos from the ipad, then go to itunes where videos should all be there unless removed, then put them back. select all vids in your itunes libaray, by right clicking and drag all to select all.

Then right click on one video, a warning about editing will come up, just ignore it and proceed forward. when you right click a drop down box appears that says "get info" select & change the setting to "Home Videos" waiting for change depends on how many vids you want to convert to home vids. when done repaste all vids to ipad in one shot by going to movies tab in itunes, syncing movies thru itunes to ipad...........wallah job done. The " films" heading title will disapear & youll be left with two final titles that say, "music Videos & home Videos", but most importantly youll see all titles again. may need to upgarde software to do this, but not sure.

Best past you dont have to individually change each vid to home movies, like i said select all and change to Home Movies. good luck.
