iOS 11 Videos app disappeared

OK, so that wouldn't be 3D Touch. 3D Touch is when you press and hold harder on a particular icon or app - it doesn't interact with a keyboard at all. When you do that, a separate menu will come up with other options that you have.

Try doing these things:

Go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Touch Accomodations, turn on Touch Accomodations. There you have the option to turn on Hold Duration to allow you to hold down your finger a bit longer or a bit shorter in order for the tap to be recognized. You can play around with this setting to see if you can set it more to your liking.

Just below that, you can turn on "Ignore Repeat" to prevent inadvertent multiple touches from causing the selection to be repeated (if your fingers are shaky, for instance).

Just so you know, this is what you might see if you were using 3D Touch. I placed my finger on the Notes icon, then pressed down a bit harder on it to get this secondary screen:

So, as you can see, 3D Touch is an enhanced set of options that you access by holding down a bit harder on an item. It doesn't cause numbers or other keyboard input to repeat.

Best of luck,

Let me spell it out for you.

1. iTunes on MY Mac shows the videos as being loaded on my brand new iPad Mini 4.
2. The Summery function in iTunes shows the space used by those videos on my iPad.
3. But the tv app on the iPad says there is nothing there.
4. I am now wondering if I shouldn't have purchased and Android tablet instead.

Is that simply enough for you?

The old app allowed you to watch home video's. Haven't seen how to do that with TV yet. Brief statements imply that it maybe possible but it is not intuitive. I have sync'd movies to the phone from itunes but the TV app does not show them. The app looks like a good product for Apple to sell something but not for use. Maybe Apple will consider charging a fee to use my own phone to watch my own movies and solve the problem.

When you sync videos from iTunes, the home videos are found in the TV App under the Library button in the upper left corner inside of the TV app.

Tap the “Library” name and then tap on Home Movies category.

Any movies/videos that AREN'T purchased/rented iTunes movies/TVshows will get stored under the Home Movies category.

iPhone 7 & iPad - I found that I could not see any 'home movies' the TV app - I am not using iCloud, but I was thought I should still be able to see my home video's uploaded from iTunes Films, however this did not work.

My work around was to save the moves into a folder & add them via the iTunes photo & made sure I ticked the 'include video's' & now I can view my movies via photos app.

See my previous post.

Home Movies are stored under the Library name in the upper left hand corner inside of the TV app.

Tap the Library name and choose Home Movies from the drop down menu list.

Any non-Apple/iTunes movie/video content is stored under the Home Movies drop down category.

Good Luck!

Could you explain how you did the work around again. I’m not very tech smart so if you could make it clearer how to save and move the folder that would help me. My iTunes is on a window 7 computer. Hope that’s not a problem.

Thanks

Sure thing 🙂

Even though they say it is easier I had a problems seeing my home movies in the TV app. I read a blog where it said that you actually had to purchase a movie before it will initate your home movies. I spent hours trying to figure it out, so I went old school!

1. Create a new folder on your Mac/PC, & add your photos/movies that you would want to view on your iPhone/iPad.

2. Connect your iPad/iPhone & open iTunes. Select photos in the menu of the device. Tick the box to sync photos from file & select the file you added your movies too. Make sure you tick box that asks to sync movies files too.

This worked for my iPad & iPhone, let me know if need further clarification!

Have fun, Kerrie.

I apologize on behalf of those replying with inaccurate information.

The TV app is not necessarily available in every region. For info on getting the Videos app back on your device, please see

I hope this helps!

Most likely, in spite of the fact that I didn't think about it since it didn't show up naturally in my work area. What happened naturally was that the Videos application vanished. That is the thing that ought to have accompanied some sort of counsel from Apple, as individuals have a tendency to get used to things they utilize or see eachday *** Given the quantity of comparable posts I read about the subject, I'm not the only one in intuition this.

Good clarification!!! I'm certain that will work!

I have the motion pictures in my iTunes on the PC so I ought to have the capacity to duplicate them to an organizer. ***

Much obliged to You!

There is no iTunes for iOS.

The iTunes icon is for purchasing content.

Open the iOS TV app, launch it and then tap on Library in the upper left corner, then tap on all of the different categories to see where all of your movies are stored.

What kind of videos are you talking about here?

If purchased iTunes TV/Movie content these would show up in the TV app under Library and either under TV shows or Movies category.

Any other types of video/movie content would be dumped under the Home Movies category.

If these are videos/movies shot with an iDevice camera or digital camera, on iOS, these maybe stored in the iOS camera app used or they may appear in the iOS Photos app.

These are the ONLY places videos/movies would be stored.

Oh, the movies were stored on the device OK. The trouble is the TV app could not see them. At All!

But not to worry, I found a 3rd party app (Waltr 2) that fixed the problem and the TV app now sees them just fine.

Once Waltr 2 reset whatever software flag that was stuck, I had no problem.

Why I had to do something life that is another story.

Who beta tests your products anyway? Oh, that's right, the customer does.

Now if I can just find a way to turn off the crappy 3D touch pad and/or adjust the sensitivity I might make this into a useful tool.
