All of a sudden I cannot add movies to itunes. The Home Video tab is missing too which is where added movies usually went and then you would change them from home movies to movies for them to import to my ipod touch. I am up to date with iTunes and even uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes but no change. Anyone have the problem and fix it? Any help is appreciated.
It may be that your system can run the new all 64-bit version of iTunes, but needs the assistance of QuickTime to work with said files. You may find that uniinstalling the version of iTunes you have and installing iTunes for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards) and QuickTime resolves things for you.

I have got the menu bar which is what Ctrl+B give me but nothing . The elipse shows Movies but does not show Home Movies which is where new adds go until you change them using the Get Info option to change them to the Movie section. Below is what I used to have as an example and below it is what I currently have:

Perhaps a complete tear down and rebuild would help?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

This happened before I upgraded to 12.1. This disappeared which is why I decided to upgrade and am using the 64-bit version now. I uninstalled it and reinstalled but still no change. It's like a whole bar disappeared which showed Movies & Home Movies as options. I can't find any options to turn on a bar like this so not sure why.
Home Movies will show when there is at least one video that is categorized as a Home Movie.
You can use File > Add Folder to Library, drag to the main iTunes window, or drag to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder in your media folder.

I have been copying movies to my ipod touch every month for a couple years so the process is not new to me. The Home Videos button has always shown whether I had a movie categorized as a home movie or not. Anything time I chose to add a new file to the library and it was an .mp4 it would automatically put it in the Home Video area and then I would have to right click on the image and choose Get Info. Then I would have to choose for it to go from the Home Video to Movie where it would then allow me to copy it to my ipod when I did the sync. Right now I try to add an .mp4 file it does not show up in movies and there is no Home Video button to look for it there. Currently I am just trying to delete itune and go back to an earlier version. Just frustrating.
Ah, click the ellipsis tool ... to get a list of the sections of the library. Enable those you want access to. Also use Ctrl+B to enable the menu bar if needed.
