Apple TV Video Playlists? How do I create one?

Forgive me if this is redundant question.
My boss came to me and wants 500+ short 30 second commercials on an Apple TV unit. Now many these commercials are for a different products.
How do I create a video playlist for each product?
Or can I create sub-folders inside the video tab?
Will the videos be searchable on Apple TV?
I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
Thanks so much.

Found this after some research on this forum, originally posted by Winston Churchill.
"If your long list of movies/clips includes content that can be grouped together, you can give the group a show name (Get info/video tab).
Doing this will place all the items with the same show name in a folder in your movies list with the show name you have chosen.
This is especially useful for grouping movies such as James Bond movies or multiple home video clips of a single or connected event that haven't been edited into a single movie, where it can replace several entries, thereby reducing the size of the movie list and conveniently placing all similar movies in a single location.
For me, this has reduced my movie list to around 100 entries whereas otherwise it might be quite unmanageable at over a thousand - Most of my movie collection is home video, I am able to group such events as vacations/Christmas/Racing events etc etc etc."
I just verified that this works with My AppleTV and it's exactly what I was looking to do.
Marking this as solved.

HT1386 How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

Yes, I do have multiple devices and it appeared to me that every time I tried to sync or log onto iTunes, the password was incorrect. Consequently, I was and am constantly changing it. Wouldn't it be nice if Apple would simply say that you only need one Apple ID and one password regardless of the number of Apple devices you intend to sync via iTunes.
Barring the above, how about a way to merge all of the Apple IDs and passwords into one.

What is a Token Data String and how do I create one?

How do I create local server scripts? I have read Chapter 2, what is a data string, how do I 'create' one and how can I 'pass' this off Apple, iTunes, whoever needs it? Chapter 2 doesn't say.

I suggest that you grab a copy of Chapter 4 of the Admin document. It explains a lot. You should also grab a copy of Apple's sample scripts (you get some C code, Java, Perl, Python, and a shell script). They will give you some idea of how this works. The scripts are downloadable frmo the iTunes U support page.
Basically, the token string contains a credential that says what access you'd like to have in iTunes U (you are an "Admin" user or a "Student" or an "Instructor" say). The credential encodes what you can view/edit in a standard way. The credential also includes some optional info (like your identity, e-mail address ... a "user identifier" which is typically a number ... say if you identify users by numbers and names ... and other stuff). You then slap on a timestamp on the credential and cryptographically encode it with that shared secret Apple sent you (when I say "you," I mean that funky CGI you've written ... your CGI does all the encoding). When you're done with the token string, you slap it on the end of a site URL (again, this is something Apple sent you) and send it to Apple. This way, you ('er, your CGI) does all the authentication for Apple (because you know how to authenticate your users better than Apple ever will).
I confess I had to read Apple's documents, oh, like twenty times before I figured all this stuff out. Once you get it though, it will seem like a pretty cool system.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

How do i create one source file that feeds two users on the same pro book?

how do i create one source file/folder of photos that feeds two users on the same pro book?

Well you can do exactly the same with a folder of photos, just put in the Users/Shared folder.
Iphoto is a mite more complex than this. It's a database and so there's a bit more involved.
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

HT204053 for some reason i have more than one apple id, not sure how, must have set one up ages ago and forgot about it. can i delete one, or merge them? how do i know im not going to lose info if i delete one account?

You can neither merge or delete them. Pick one and stop using the other. If they both have purchases associated with them you will have to keep using both.

Apple TV password. How do I get one?

Whenever I go to use Airplay, it asks for my Apple TV password. How do I get one?

I understand that, but how do I do that? Nowhere in the process of using Apple TV have I found a procedure to designate an AirPlay password. Maybe I missed it but other than my Apple TV/iTunes experience (for which I use my regular Apple ID.and Password), is there an AirPlay Password, But they call for it on both my iPad 2 and my iPad Touch, Or, like Ziploc says, all I need to use is my my regular ID and password. But I can't believe I haven't tried that before, and was rejected. I'll try it again and let you know.
Thanks to you both for yor suggestions.

Apple TV video playlists are not alphabetical

First of all, I love the new video playlist addition in 2.3. Thank you Apple.
I have a problem that I can't figure out. My movies that show up on playlists on the Apple TV aren't alphabetical. I thought that if I changed my sort options on my Mac (by name), this would resolve the problem, but it doesn't.
Any ideas how to get the video playlists to be alphabetical? I can't figure this out.

Had a quick look at playlists on my own set up, while most playlists were in alphabetical order some where not. It appears that the playlists on the tv reflected exactly the order in which content was listed in itunes, so those playlists that I had selected to be listed alphabetically in itunes where also listed alphabetically on the tv, those that weren't didn't.
Haven't still fully figured this out as yet since I assumed that if I changed a playlist that was listed say by 'date added' in itunes to 'alphabetically' and synced that the way it is displayed on the tv would also change, but this hasn't happened.
I will continue to look into this.

I have 2 apple ids on ipad, how do i delete one

I have 2 apple ids on m y ipad how do i delete one?

If you have content from both accounts on the iPad then the only way to remove one of them is to remove all of that account's content from the iPad - content is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it.

Keynote creates separate audio and image file when exporting to quicktime, how can you create one unique file?

I have a Kenote 09 presentation with a presentation soundtrack, when I export it to Quicktime two files are created one with audio and one with video.
¿Is there a way to have this be just one file or to combine this files to have one video+audio file?
I was able to put them together with iMovie, but the image looses quality.
Thanks

Thanks Gary
I tried fixed timing but I needed different timing for each slide. But I did manage to resolve using the following.
Since the audio was just music I first set both Input and Output sound setting in preferences to use Soundflower instead of internal mic and speaker, then played the presentation while recording audio so that the music would be recorded. And finally exported using Recorded Timing. This way the output was one unique file!
Good day

How can I create one pdf from a FrameMaker Book with mixed page sizes.

Looking for an easier way to create one pdf from a FrameMaker book that has files with different pages sizes; letter and tabloid.
So far, I have not been able to find a way to set up the Adobe PDF printer or Distiller to read the page size from the source files in the book and then create one pdf with the appropriate page sizes based on the file sizes in the FrameMaker book. I can create a pdf of the book using a multi-step process where I create a pdf for each page size and then combine them into one file. This is a lot of work.
Is there a way to set the Adobe PDF printer where it reads page size from the source files and then creates one pdf with a mixed page sizes?
Using FrameMaker 7 and 10 and Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks for any suggestions

How can I create one playlist and not have numerous ones that duplicate songs?

How do I consolidate all my playlists into one large playlist and eliminate the extras?

Hey there Christophter,
You can start consolidate your playlists by opening the one you want to move music FROM, then dragging the music in there to the playlist you want to add TO. If there is a duplicate you will be prompted to skip them or not. Then delete the playlist:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
Click the item to select it, and press the Delete key.
Click DeleteItem.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling
