Tim,
That brought them back. I set sort vby first to genres then title.
But from there I am not seeing how to select the genre I want to
display. All of the titles are in one grid view.
I noticed some titles, probably quite a few, that got mangled, so I
want to be sure I can sort things before I put more time into this. I
thoght I ahd it all done but perhaps I only worked over my music, which
is still intact.
Then the question is, how to prevent this from happening again. Thanks.

Hi,
Check under the Advanced pane of iTunes Preferences and make sure that iTunes
is pointing to your Library on the external HD. If it is, then do the
following:
1. When in iTunes, press cmd-o to Add to Library
2. Press cmd-shift-c to focus on all connected media.
3. Navigate to the external and expand it.
4. Find your movies folder but don’t expand it.
5. Once it is selected, just press return and iTunes should bring the titles
back into your Library.
It shouldn’t do any copying since the movies are already in the right location
but it will take a bit to properly add them to the database.
HTH.

Tim,
That is what is missing, the Home Videos button. Finder shows all the ripped
movies in the Home Videos folder. In iTunes, when the My Movies button is
selected, there is no Home Videos button to the right. And no Movies popup
button.
It was all there before. iTunes has lost track I guess.

Hi,
If they are ripped movies, they are likely filed under the “Home Videos”
section. So, when you go to “My Movies”, if you VO-right twice after the “My
Movies” button, there should be a “Home Videos” button which should reveal all
those ripped movies. By default, iTunes only puts purchased movies into the
regular Movies list. You can go into the info for the movie, under the Options
tab and change it from a “Home Move” to a plain old “Movie” if you wish and
they will show up in the regular list instead. You can also do this in a bulk
fashion by selecting all the movies in the “Home Videos” list, pressing cmd-i
to Get Info, selecting the Options tab, then changing the pop-up from “Home
Movies” to “Movies”.
HTH.

Tim,
All are ripped movies and placed in the automatically add folder. After all
that was done, I had gone into iTunes and edited media information, mostly the
genres and cleaned up titles. All seemed well then.

Hi,
A couple of things. What process did you use to move the iTunes media to the
external drive? Are these movies purchased or ripped from your own collection?

Running Mavericks and latest iTunes 12.
I have my media stored on an external drive. iTunes sees the music but not
the movies. Cmd-2 then press the My Movies button and there are no movies and
the Movies pop up button is not there. Using Finder, all the movie files are
present. What do I need to do to fix this? Thanks.
