Adding video to iTunes but keeping it in a folder when iTunes organizes your folder automaticly

Hi,
I've recently added a video to my iTunes librariry (on Windows 7) so that I can view it through my AppleTV, I was able to add it to the library and change it's type from Movie to TV Show but when I look at the folder structure, it puts it to the root of TV Show folder and not into a specific folder (for example, the name of the show).  If I create a folder and move the file into it, everything resets back to moving it into the movie category (because I have the option for iTunes to keep my folder organised automaticly).  So I was just wondering if there's a way I can configure the file (maybe through the get info in iTunes) to have inside a specific folder.

I suspect the problem is that you're not filling in enough information to cause the file to be moved to the intended folder.
Fill in both Album and Show with the name you want your "TV Show" to have. See this for more info.
Don't move iTunes media around by hand, that just confuses things. As in the words of this video you need to trick it into doing what you want.

  • Problem with adding Videos in itunes

    Can someone please please help me!
    Ever since i upgraded to the latest version of itunes I started encountering problems/difficulties in adding videos in itunes library. All the videos that I'm trying to upload are in the correct file format (mpeg4/mp4). I tried adding using Add File to Library, Add Folder to library and even Import..nothing happens..no prompt that its uploading. In the end can't add any video.
    I tried doing this using my PC and my laptop and i still encounter the same problem so I can say that th problem is not on my computers.
    Please help!

  • Want to get a free app but keep getting this response ' we could not complete your itune store request an unknown error occured (-9808)'

    Want to get a free app but keep getting this response ' we could not complete your itune store request an unknown error occured (-9808)'?

    I've done a search on here and haven't found any solutions posted for it for windows computers. You could try posting in the iTunes For Windows forum and see if you get any suggestions in there (are you able to download other items from the store e.g. a free app ?) - I use a Mac, the only things that I could think of to suggest trying is see if you get the same error on a different iTunes library :
    creating and/or opening a different iTunes library : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
    or using a different user account on your computer in case it's a problem with that user account.
    But you may want to try the iTunes For Windows forum first, apart from anything else you are likely to get better help for the above

  • I am trying to edit a project originally started on another computer, by someone else and saved onto an external h-drive, but keep getting 'general error 48' when I try to render it to work further. Can anyone help?

    I am trying to edit a project originally started on another computer, by someone else and saved onto an external h-drive, but keep getting 'general error 48' when I try to render it to work further. Can anyone help?

    Is this problem only occurring with the project you copied from an external drive, or with any FCP project?
    For example, if you were to create a new project, do you still have this problem?
    In FCP, if you go to the menu FInal Cut Pro > System Settings and look at the Scratch Disks Tab, is it set where you expect it to be? Have you tried switching the scratch disk to a different disk?

  • Need help with adding video to itunes

    i have an ipad 1 that i put 2 videos on to teach CPR. got a new ipad. not only will i tunes not transfer the video it will not let me add it to the library to put it onto the new ipad. and help would be appreciated

    Is iTunes crashing when you try to add video or is it just not adding them?  If it's crashing I found that selecting the video in a folder and then right clicking (PC) then selecting Open With, iTunes, then iTunes will start to play the video but also adds it to the Movies section.  I've been having problems with iTunes crashing and found this to be the easiest way around it, obviously not the best choice if you have lots of videos.

  • Adding Video to iTunes not relabelling correctly

    Hi,
    I have had this problem for a few weeks since i updated iTunes. I usually download new tv shows from another source, import them into iTunes and then relabel them by programme name. Since the update I have done the same thing as usual but now when i transfer them to my iPad mini 2 they appear in a blank folder and then divided into seasons. It's driving me crazy.
    Any ideas (1) why its doing this and (2) how to fix it please.

    Video labeling comes up frequently on this forum.  You may be better off using a third party tagger.

  • Video's freeze but keep playing!

    I've been watching a lot of video's on my iPad 2 both on safari and in apps such as Amazon prime but they keep freezing. The video will keep playing but the picture freezes and there's no sound! Occasionally it will sort itself out and start playing again, skipping a bit but most of the time I have to restart. It's really frustrating and I can't seem to find a solution online. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it!

    I don't know what suggestions that you looked for online or what troubleshooting steps that you have tried, but give these basic steps a try if you haven't already done so.
    Close all apps, and reset your iPad. Clear Safari as well.
    Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data.
    Now close all apps. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that did not help, try this. Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

  • Adding videos toi ITunes

    I wish to add my own movies to ITunes so I can synch them to my IPod. I cannot add video files to ITunes. When I add a folder, or a file or try moving the file to the library it says nothing is selected. Can anyone help? Thank you.

    Hi,
    iTunes only accepts QuickTime movie format. That is ".m4v" or ".mov" videos. What you can do is, if you haven't already done so, convert the videos to ".mov" format, and then drag it to iTunes. That should do the job.

  • Trying to uninstall and reinstall itunes, but keeps telling me that folder location has an invalid character

    Have had a number of issues with itunes, but everytime I have tried to update it, it tells me that the file location is invalid.
    Have tried to go through the process of uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, but when I come to uninstall itunes, it tells me that the file location contains an invalid character.
    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 page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Adding video causes itunes to close.

    Every time I attempt to add a MP$ video or any other video itunes experiences an error and must shut down do you want to send a report .....
    HELP please

    My thanks to you both.
    I had originally misunderstood and was working from iTunes.
    Using find the file was in an "unidentified folder" a quick right click within finder and the file was trashed - iTunes then allowed me to remove the reference to it.
    I will try again as the original file was an .avi which I have previously used to convert to DVD without a problem.
    Again - thank you.

  • Is the ITunes Store down.  I can search and buy but keep getting and error message when I try the home page.

  • Can receive mail, but keep getting a 'timed out' when trying to send

    I use bellsouth (ATT) as my mail server - - for the last 4 days, I have been unable to send on my MacBook Pro.
    I am receiving mail with out incident and have been able to send from my iPhone - but not from my lap top. Have called Bellsouth, they referred me to advanced support.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Unless Bellsouth has recently changed something, their SMTP does not require separate Authentication -- it is actually authenticated on the basis of the having already authenticated the Incoming server. In Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information click on the arrows beside the name of the Outgoing Server, choose Edit Server List, and then choose the Advanced Tab. There for the Bellsouth SMTP, you should check to use the Custom port, set to Port 25, and choose None as the method of Authentication. Remove any Username and Password entered there, and Save these settings. You should now be able to send with the Bellsouth SMTP.
    So while I am sure Bellsouth would say their SMTP is Authenticated (and it is), they do not understand that Mail will take care of that on the basis of the Incoming data without the entries for separately authenticating the Outgoing Server, and will in fact cause failure if that is attempted.

  • Is there a way that you can keep the same checked songs when transefering all your music to a different computer?

    ive just got a new computer and installed ITunes. ive brought all my music across from the old computer but when ive added it to I tunes it has checked all the songs. is there a way you can uncheck all the songs you don't want (same as previous computer) or do you have to go through and manually uncheck all the songs you don't want on the I pod??

    When you copied the music from your old computer you should have included the iTunes database (iTunes Library.itl) as well as your media files - this is the structure (normally in C:\Users\username\Music) that you should copy from old to new:
    If you only copied the media, and not the database file, try doing so now (without iTunes running) - the files and folder structures should be the same on your new PC as on your old one.
    Then hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes; you'll get this prompt:
    Click on Choose Library..., then browse to and select the iTunes Library.itl file that you just copied.  Your library should now be in the state that it was on your old machine, including checked selections.
    By the way, using checkboxes against individual songs is a really inefficient way to manage how content is synced to an iDevice.  Its much easier to create a playlist that you can move songs/albums in and out of, and configure your iDevice to sync media from this playlist.
