Authorizing another computer moved my movies into music

I authorized an additional computer for my iPOD through iTunes & somehow all of my movies, tv shows, and music videos got moved into the music category on my iPOD. I can see them if I go to Music - Albums - & scroll to the bottom where there are songs associated with no albums. How can I get them to go back into the Movie category? Everything was fine until I authorized another computer through iTunes & iTunes does whatever it does for that. I am unable to view my movies now because my iPod won't even play them now since they are in the Music category.

Forget this topic - my other computer is suddenly authorized again. I'll see how long it lasts this time.

HT1420 If I Authorized anothe computer will it delete my music on my iPhone and/or my computer

I just need to know before I try to put my music on my phone and mess up everything

You can have your account authorised on up to 5 computers at any one time, so authorising another computer won't affect your existing computer nor your iPhone - and deauthorising a computer doesn't remove any content from a computer, it just means that you won't be able to use any iTunes downloads on it until you reauthorise it.

If I switch my installed PS6, Illustrator and InDesign over to the Cloud, will I have to pay monthly even though I already purchased the programs? And will I then be able to use the program on another computer when I sign into my adobe account?

If I switch my installed PS6, Illustrator and InDesign over to the Cloud (from an installed program with the code, like Adobe used to do it), will I have to pay monthly even though I already purchased the programs? And will I then be able to use the program on another computer when I sign into my adobe account? I know how to switch it over, I just want to make sure I won't also have to pay monthly even though it's already been purchased.

Your purchase of licensed version of Adobe applications does apply to CC subscriptions. If you subscribe you will pay for the subscription on whatever periodic basis you choose (monthly versus annually).

HT1848 How do you transfer music thats on your iphone to your music library I can't figure it out, I authorized the computer but there is no music in the library.

I'm trying to transfer mu music that's not in my itunes library from my iphone 4. But I can't seem to figure it out I authorized my computer. But I am getting a new iphone so i want to put the music on my computer so when I get my new iphone I can transfer it back.

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is based on you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

How to convert .mp4 files that come into iTunes as Movies into Music Videos

I've tried selecting a file and then going into the "Get Info", then "Options" and then to "Media Kind", but for some reason it is greyed out and I am unable to change these .mp4's into music videos. Any suggestions are SO appreciated!!!

Ok, I checked and the file is NOT locked. Any other suggestions? It shows the file as an MPEG-4 movie .mp4, but I just can't get it to change from a movie to a music video so that I can see the artist.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

I have to move desks a lot at work. Today I bought $30 worth of music on one computer, but now I'm at another desk and another computer and cannot find my music! Every time I change computers I make sure to log out and log back in. So where is my music?

I have to move desks and computers a lot at work. Today I bought $30 worth of music on one computer - but now I am sitting at a new desk and computer and can't find my music. Don't tell me to make sure I log on and off....i do! So where is my music?

The music you purchased is probably in our profile directory on the computer where you purchased it. Unless your IT department has the computers setup to use "roaming profiles" your "My Music" folder will be stored locally on each computer. I don't know of too many companies that use "roaming profiles" as they tend to cause about as many problems as they were designed to "fix". If you are going to be moving to many different computers, I suggest that you consider moving your iTunes Library to an external drive that you move with you. This way your purchased content is stored on your external drive and not on the local drive of the PC you are using at the time of the purchase.

Authorizing another computer

A while ago I transferred some of my purchased iTunes to some friends of mine, not really realizing that I could only authorize 5 computers. Well, now I have a new laptop, and I can't authorize my purchased music on my new iTunes because I've already authorized 5 others. Is there a way to add another authorization for a computer without de-authorizing one?
Thanks.

*Is there a way to add another authorization for a computer without de-authorizing one?*
No, if you have 5 authorised another would make six and 5 is the limit as you've already pointed out yourself. If you don't have access to the other computers you've authorised once you reach the limit of 5 authorisations you have the option to deauthorise them all in one go from your iTunes account and start over. *Just note that you can only use this option once a year*: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

Thank you now how do I get the songs on to the flash drive?
Insert the flash drive into the other computer, and open it so it looks like a window. Highlight the songs you want in his iTunes, and drag them into that window.
That will cause them to copy onto the flash drive, and will not affect his library.
If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.
Then insert the flash drive into your computer. Find your Automatically Add to iTunes folder (it is inside the iTunes media folder) and drag the songs into it.

How does one authorize another computer to play previously purchased music?

I have recently downloaded a ITunes software on a new computer. I would like to authorize the computer to listen to previously purchased music.
My understanding is that we can share music on Itunes on up to five computers.
I woud appreciate if someone could share a document on how to authorize mulitple computer to a single account.
Thank you

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

I am switching jobs, iTunes is on my old computer - can I move my music to a new computer? how?

I've been at my current job for over 8 years. I have iTunes installed on my work computer, and now I am leaving. I have an iPad at home - I think my husband already has his iTunes account set up on that though. I'd like to get access to all the music I've purchased through the years on the iPad or my new work computer - is this even possible? Please let me know what to do.
Thanks!

You can backup your iTunes library to an external drive and onto a new computer

Automatic Moving a movie into the Library question please?

Good Day.
If I rip one of my own DVD's and have it put directly into the iTunes Move Library, will it come up in the iTunes Movie list window automatically or do I have to do something else?
Thanks for looking.
Tom

Thanks Razor...
But I was wondering if I had a DVD conversation app write the movie *mp4 etc., right into the "Movie" in the iTunes library would the iTunes app/Window see it when I then launched iTunes? Kinda without going thru the above mentioned step....
Thanks again.

Anyone know a fast converter for moving my movies into itunes?

I just got an apple tv2, i have airvideo on my IP4 that works but i want to stream movies from my PC directly to ATV2. Problem is that i have like 300 movies that aren't converted for itunes... Anyone know a good/fast converter? Would be nice if it could automatically add the file into my itunes and even delete the old file after its done conversion. OR even better if theres a way without conversion at all =) thx

You definitely need them in iTunes and they also have to be compatible with ATV to stream from PC

In terms of converters there's handbrake, mpeg streamclip, visual hub..those are ones that I have found to be of good quality.
