Itunes Extras on Apple TV 2nd Gen, and iPad

Okay, so, I had a bit of a rant about how iTunes Extras do not play on my Mac Mini and Apple Display. I still don’t know why they won’t play on iPad or Apple TV (well, I have a clue – the interface is HTML). But I do want to offer a “solution” on how to view the iTunes Extras on an iPad and on an Apple TV 2nd Generation.

This “solution” is not really a direct answer to the problem. Rather, it’s a technical way to load these videos out of the iTunes Extras file package, and into iTunes (again). These newly loaded videos can then be synched onto your iPad (1 or 2) and also can be streamed to your Apple TV 2nd Gen.

Alright… you ready? Just follow the gallery of images below.

Find your iTunes Extras in your library, and right-click to then choose "Show In Finder"

And there you have it! Now you can watch your iTunes Extras content for viewing. But being all things Apple, this is not much of a direct answer. Just a work around, if that.

Enjoy!
