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

Oh believe me i have, just fed up of seeing the same work around for this posted again and again when it is really not an answer...!!!

If everyone that posted on here field a grievance through the feedback system, it may get answered, but they don't...!!!

Part of the problem is the forum itself - threading your way through all the posts, some of which are rants against Apple (understandable), some are the same repeated thing about Home Videos - repeated over and over again, you can miss where someone has suggested the same thing......

My response was specific to the home sharing issue, and works.

So now I won't bother responding to this forum, but will keep any solution I find to myself.....

Exactly. >>>>> NO ONE FROM APPLE READS THIS FORUM! <<<<<

Bummer this has not been fixed. I do not sync/copy movies into my iPads - we stream them from the desktop iTunes over WLAN. Having no directory is absoutely insane.

I aso noticed all our library went from "Movies" to "Home Movies" on our Apple TV after migrating to a new Mac/updating to Mavericks.

To fix this I went into iTunes/Movies - Select ALL>Get Info>(Multiple Item Selection)>Options/Media Kind and changed them back to Movies

This didn't fix the broken directory iOS problem, but got them back to Movies in the Apple TV vs Home Movies.

Go to "Get Info" Options and change "Media Kind" to Home Movies and the name will show.

Really?

Did you read what has already been suggested...?

This is hardly a work a round, and has already been discounted and answered enough times...

So please tell me with this wonderful solution, how does this affect my library on my 4 Apple TV...?

Was that considered, or should I have to change it every time I want to watch something on there as well?

A workaround would mean it is usable, this makes it even more unusable for the rest of the house, it also takes out all of the restrictions where children are concerned with age limits...

Nice to see that there are some helpful answers that others may want, but not helpful when consideration isn't given to the bigger picture and what could essentially mean kids have access to a lot more than they bargained for as a result...

Help is only help when it is correct, and the answer being continuously given does not help... Unless of course you only have an IOS device with a few films... Which is not what was asked originally...

Go to ur itunes library, highlight all movies , get info , options , change to home movies. This way u just get a list when u resync ur ipad , iphone under home movies.

Doesnt affect ur apple tv library 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.

Really! Mine is fine .

you lose the plot summary using view option comment or description.

Just updated to iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 5. Guess what? STILL NO MOVIE NAMES WHEN USING HOME SHARING. I can't believe this. It's completely useless to use home sharing to view movies on a home media server via home sharing. Seriously...this is ridiculous.

Scott I too updated to IOS7.1 to find no fix.

But I am using a OSX app "Air Media Server" that stream Video, pictures and music to iphones and ipads. Works great. I installed it on my server where all my movies are, I pointed it at the folder the movies are in , ( Same folder as the iTunes home share is using ). Costs about $5.The ipad app is free. It is called "Media Center" http://www.airmediacenter.com . I still need itunes and home sharing to watch my movies on my Apple TV's, but this streaming server app takes care of my iPads.

Apple is going down hill. The one thing they were good at was making all their stuff work together.

There is this problem AND also "Airdrop" which does not work from Mac's to ipads. FYI " Instashare " works well between Mac to ipads.
