Media organisation

Hello-

I was wondering if anyone has found a way to slick to organize videos on iTunes for their Apple TV.  I have a server connected to a mac mini, which has a ton of videos as well as kid and adult movies.  My goal is to be able to find these videos, using the "computer" part of the Apple TV.  iTunes seems to call everything that has not been purchased in iTunes a "home video".  I don't want all my videos mixed in a huge list.  I'd rather have in different playlist like my music.  I created lists of video playback, but they seemed to not be visible at the end of the AppleTV.

I feel so close to my AppleTV extremely useful and not having not airtime all of my macbook, which has a small SSD.  Advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Video categories can be changed.  Select the file and right click and select get info.  There are several tabs with one giving a list of category.  You can change it to home video to another on those that are appropriate.

A tip would be to group common files like a TV show with different episodes.  You could call the show the name of the Group and then label each file with a name of the episode.  You enter the episode numbers and files get grouped together.  All these fields are in the tabs.  Make sure that you select first TV series to get the fields to appear in the other tabs.

  • Had to install my itunes library/all media files to a new disk - now itunes can't find anything!

    Hello, people.

    I have an itunes library old and beloved of some 38 000 songs and 1 100 podcasts, as well as dozens and dozens of playlists (I buy a lot of music and RIP, so every month for the past eight years, I made a playlist folder containing the songs I ripped this month). My media is not organised by itunes - everything is in its own folder.

    However, I have fried my CPU and motherboard, and the guy at the shop convinced me to switch to an SSD HD to run windows. That's nice, but there is not enough room for the itunes library. It is still on my old HD 2 TB - that used to be C:, but now it's f:

    I was able to get the library loaded to the top, but he has no idea where all the songs are. They used to all be in a file tree that went C:\users\Querenciazine\music\[subfolder], as follows:

    c:/users/Querenciazine/music/MP3s/classical/BWV%20651-668%20-%20leipziger%20chor %C3%A4le/bwv%20659%20-%2002-bach&busoni%20_%20nun%20komm,%20der%20heiden%20h eiland.mp3

    But now they are all in a tree that starts f:/music/MP3s.

    Location of the file above, therefore:

    f:/music/MP3s/classical/BWV%20651-668%20-%20leipziger%20chor%C3%A4le/BWV%20659%2 0-%2002-bach&busoni%20_%20nun%20komm,%20der%20heiden%20heiland.mp3

    I tried to open the two XML files in Notepad and use find and replace to change "c:/users/Querenciazine / ' to ' f: / ' in filepaths all, but that has not worked. I did it once before, but years ago and I wonder: what am I doing wrong, or that I am I forgetting?

    Anyone has any advice how to solve a problem like this?

    Thank you very much!

  • Windows media player vs. itunes question

    my family has products that are generic mp3 players (sony products) using windows media player and apple (iphone and ipad) products that need to use iTunes.

    what I really have two different copies of my music on my PC libraries to manage two types of devices?

    the player windows media allow for iPhone or iPad instead of iTunes?

    can you tell me any documentation or article which discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the two and provides recommendations on how to support the two players on the same PC?

    given a choice - if we are really to have two copies of the files - which I think we do but am not 100% sure - while would you - load Windows Media Player first and then import them into iTunes, or vice versa?

    I tried both, but it seems to mess up the representation of the library and search for music files.

    Is it possible to do so and have reasonable library for both products organisation?

    I should potentially rip my cd of in the two products separately, rather than do an import of the library from one to the other?

    any help or suggestion concerning best practices would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Barbara

    As long as you follow the MP3 format, there is no need to do a conversion. Both WMP and iTunes should be able to manage libraries of music very well, and you can point them both to the same places (no need to maintain two separate copies).

    As an alternative to iTunes, you can also use Winamp iPod support. To import the WMP library in Winamp (and keep it synchronized), you can use Windows Media Player Import plugin.

  • Smartphones blackBerry Media card content security

    I have the Blackberry 8220 flip, and I have a microSD card of 1 GB with tons of music, photos and videos that I am able to view when I open the "MULTIMÉDIA" option in the menu!

    The problem is that like everyone else, I have some pictures and videos on there that I don't want others to see if they enter my phone trying to be curious. I don't want my content is accessiable once they click on the media category.

    For example: I click on images and it shows ALL my pictures I have on my card immediately without giving me options of folder to the choice as my use of Nokia to do, even though I have set up different folders I organised on my card from my computer it just displays everything and I'm not like that.

    I know that when I'm in the photos section, I can click on 'PHOTO FILES' and it will show me all my files that I can browse. But if I hit 'All IMAGES', it shows exactly what... ALL MY * beep * PHOTOS!

    When Im in the 'VIDÉO' section, it does not give me what options so that never, it just list all the * beep * videos I have on my card, which again, I don't like!

    To summarize all of this, so I need to know what is the best way for me to protect the contents of my media card to be visible just by clicking on 'VIDÉOS' OR 'PHOTOS '.  As I can password protect my 'VIDEOS' or 'PHOTOS', or is there a way to ask me to put a password before displaying all my content and I don't mean the device password as when I lock my keyboard, because it is simply not the answer I'm looking for, I need to know how to set a password to ask whenever I want to specifically access all media available on my card.

    I was playing and found what you are looking for, when you click on the media, enhance photos, click on the menu, you will see help to view, explore, receiver using blue tooth option, ect... click on options, scroll to exclude folders, check the folder that you want to not view, and then save.  to display the hidden folder, click menu, and then click on explore, you will see all the folders with the hidden, even to the video folder...

  • Why the export of 4 k media training in file 1080 p?

    I have a Handycam Sony AX 33 and 4 K (3840 x 2160) of GoPro, iPhone media. I would like to export clips on USB media to view on TV 4 K, so I can help decide on which to get.

    However, when you SHARE using share destinations, the result is 1080 p according to the FINDER and GET INFORMATION.

    The chronology of FCP INFORMATION display video 3840 by 2160.

    I chose the part like DEVICES APPLE 4 K. The result always is 1080 p.

    I also exported the file PRORES to COMPRESSOR, but again, the result is 1080 p, leave really nice, but 1080 p.

    I hope that it is possible and I am missing just a little something.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Barry

    Ok. I think that I have now. I was simple... If it works.

    I needed to put the project to 4K and had left her as 1080 p.

    Thank you for your time and trouble.

  • Impossible to link existing audio in imovie to new itunes media folder project

    I have an older imovie project that uses audio that has been in the itunes music folder.  I have since it consolidated in itunes media.  So, the song is more in the music folder. IMovie will link like this in the file folder rather than the media of music and he is no longer in the music.  How can I either return to the song the folder music force imovie to look for the link in the itunes media folder.  I edited the audio and would rather delete and re-import. I use imovie 10.

    I don't know exactly what you did here, but it would seem to me you can option-do drag the song edited since the multimedia file back in the music folder (copy, no travel).

  • ITunes media folder location has changed, but it keeps resetting to the default location

    Hello

    I changed my iTunes media folder location. My internal drive has two drives (was originally a Fusion player, after a system crash, I had to clean it and install Mac OS from scratch and is no longer read as a reader of fusion, but I agree with it), so one of the discs that I use for the OS itself and the other to store the data. I've changed most of my files application for the storage disk storage. When I change the location of folder of media to iTunes, after reboot, it restores the original file to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media.

    Why does that happen?

    If this info can help, I do not have the bluetooth icon in the menu bar, so I removed it by opening bluetooth preferences and unchecked 'see the bluetooth in the menu bar. He disappears. When I restart, it seems once again, it is not happened to Yosemite.

    Thanks in advance.

    iTunes will revert to the default locations, if the configured drive is not present when iTunes opens. This happens if the drive is not mounted or asleep...

  • iTunes playlists/media, missing since the update of the sierra

    It will be difficult to explain, but my Mac threw a fit when I updated for sierra.  Initially, I lost my entire library.  It's on an external drive and sierra seemed to point to the default library.  Called Apple and they said the "file multimedia iTunes was missing.   Sharp itunes for the external drive and he could not see.  Probably because of the missing multimedia iTunes file.  Took an hour of round Mobile files and the technician left me with the items to copy and said "that should do it."  After that a few hours I received a message that the hard drive was full!  Somehow he had copied to files and duplicate the hard disk.  All my playlists were too with the counties of game and bookmarks missing from TV etc.   Some worked me and somehow got all this back and forth, the whole lot, but now I have 2 files on the external HARD drive.  the one with the real files (less the multimedia file mentioned previously).  The other file has files itl etc. and the iTunes media inside as well as the illustrations, BUT in the preferences folder, the library is pointing to the folder which has just the files in it and NOT all the info in there library database.   It works, what's more to say apples, fix, but it's a weird way of working and im about to move my library to a new drive and I see bad to come.  Can I move the two files to new HARD drive? If yes how it will find my playlist information and files when they are distributed in 2 files.  My apologies for what is long. Thanks for the pointers

    Preferences do not "point" on location of media except to say iTunes to put whatever it is added from this point, the to this place. The only thing pointing to the location of media is each individual line in the .itl file entries.  It seems to me that you used to have a shared library with multimedia files on a drive along with the rest of the library support on your disk files inside.  You do not specify what has happened when you "lost" your library.  If you say that you lost playlists and counters that it sounds to me like you are creating a new library (.itl) starting with a white and adding media to him to get a stand-alone library the way things normally are.  Personally, I wish that you had come here first because we probably could have cured it all in 5 minutes, being a little more than a power - a by-the-book mindset. There is probably an easy fix, but now everything has been confused by you and Apple apparently trying to get everything back up to the main drive I don't know where we are.

    You have a backup from before doing the update?  You still need a backup.  If you do then things likely to find without too much problem.

    Are your files on the external hard drive always as they were before?  You have two folders in library in your music folder? You must be old. Try starting iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and when you are prompted to select the .itl file in the old folder.  This is the file 'pointing' for your multimedia files on the external hard drive and containing of playlists, ratings, date added, etc.

  • Apple media must be accepted, but I can't take the view

    I was unable to copy my iPhone 6 s to my iPhone backup 7, so I used my iPad backup. When I turn on the new phone, I get a message saying that the media services terms and conditions have changed and I have to agree before I can continue. But the message won't go away even with Cancel.

    Hello becktx,
    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand your message that after restoring your backup to your new iPhone iPad 7, you are not able to accept the terms and conditions or cancel. I know how it is important for you to be able to set up your iPhone 7 so you can start using it. Because your iPhone became unresponsive in this way, I would force restart your iPhone.

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    How to force reboot

    You must force restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch as a last resort, and that if it does not. Follow these steps to force the reboot of your device:

    • On an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 more: press and hold the sleep/wake and Volume buttons down for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    • On an iPhone 6s and earlier, the iPad or the iPod touch: press and hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
  • When I drag imessage photos in iphoto, it shows that they give, but then I can't find photos in iphoto. and when I open the finder there is no option of 'media' in the side menu.

    Could not find photos in iphoto after drag / drop imessage

    Correct, there is no media browser in the finder - only for download or open or install windows

    They show in the last import? check your type of event - they are probably n = just not where you are looking - in the last import done right click on one and show events - an event should open with your photo display - if not arrive then back up your iPhoto library and hold down the option and command keys at the launch of the iPhoto and repair permissions hen rebuild the database
