Auto Organzing only moves some tv shows to the tv shows folder

I brought several outside tv shows into iTunes, changed the video type in info from Movies (the automatic setting) to TV Show and now they all show up in iTunes under TV Shows. I also have iTunes automatically copy the files into the iTunes directory and keep the directory organized, but when I go into the iTunes folder some of the tv show files have remained in the movie file while others have been moved into the tv shows file. The files "left behind" seem to be completely random, but the file names also haven't been renamed while the rest have... does anyone have any idea why this would happen?

A couple of options.  One is to maintain a single library and to keep movies on an external drive. Whenever the external is not connected you will see broken links to the files.  These will fix upon reconnecting the external drive and trying to play the file again or by restarting iTunes.  To do this method, if you already have the files on the external drive, hold down the option/alt key while dragging them to iTunes and it will leave them on the drive where they are located.
Another option is to make a completely separate library for movies.  Hold down the option/alt key while starting iTunes to create a new library (on the external) and to switch between libraries in the future.  When doing anything with movies make sure you are using this second library.

  • Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits?

    Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits? Using iMac, OS X, most recent Aperture and Lightroom 5.7 with plugin for Aperture.

    Define "the Aperture files".
    Read this concise guide.
    The files you imported into an Aperture Library can be exported (at any time, and repeatedly) using the command "File ▹ Export ▹ Originals".  Your Originals are never altered.  What went in is what comes out.
    Adjustments and changes to the metadata that you made since creating an Image in Aperture by importing a file are saved to a text file.  This file is combined, on-the-fly, with the Original to create the Image that you see in Aperture.  There is no file saved to disk that is the full-size Image.  Thumbnails are saved, and Previews are saved.  These are JPG files, almost always smaller than the Original.  They are not substitutes for the Image for the use you have.
    When you need a file of an Image to use in another program, you export the Image from Aperture.  "Export" means "Make me a file of this Image according to these file specs I'm providing".  The way to get files of your adjusted Images is simple:  create them by exporting.  Specify "Original size", and use a loss-less image-file format (e.g. TIFF 16-bit) if you want to retain as much visual information as possible.
    Search the Web for information about transitioning from Aperture to Lightroom.  Note that I say "transitioning".  You cannot move a database from one format to another without significant changes, and likely some loss of information.  Adobe provides a tool and some instructions.  I strongly recommend working out the process step-by-step, and then proceeding with first a few Images, then a bushel-ful, and stopping to use the first few, the the bushel-ful, before committing your entire collection to the process.
    As always, never use any computer file without having a back-up.
    We have seen mixed reports here of the success of the LR tool that creates a LR database from your Aperture database.
    If you want to carefully define the process, and test and refine it, use the excellent process-development, analysis, and execution program inShort.
    Sadly, there is not and can never be a good, thorough re-positioning of the digital assets in your Aperture Library to become digital assets in a LR database.  Just as a metaphor for any user contemplating transitioning to another digital asset manager:  that would be like digging up a house in one country, planting it in a hole in another country, and expecting to be able to use the toilet and the sinks, turn on the lights, cook dinner, and sleep soundly.
    HTH,

  • How do you move just your movies and tv shows to an external hard drive and have iTunes recognize that that is where that media is (keeping music on the internal hard drive itself and putting only movies and tv shows on an external hard drive)?

    I'm not sure about how to get iTunes to recognize that my music is in one location (on my MacBook's internal hard drive) and my movies and tv shows are in another (on an external hard drive I purchased).  I know how to make iTunes recognize that all of my iTunes files are on an external hard drive, but not only some of them.  Please help me out.  Thanks.

    While you can do that, it is not a feature of iTunes.  Put your movies on the external drive, then add them to iTunes by dragging the files to iTunes while holding the option (alt) key down so it leaves the files where they are located.  There are other ways to move them if they are already added but they can be more involved and tricky.  If it's just one or two try:  http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=relocateselected

  • Best method to move "previous system-users" to the new user folder

    I was doing an Archive and Install of a current 10.5.8 system because of problems with the "usr" folder showing in the root listing of the hd folders while booted from this same hd. I knew that wasn't a good sign.
    Anyway, it failed saying that the previous Users could not be moved into the new OS's User folder and they would be placed in the "Previous System" folder.
    I have updated the newly installed OS to the latest Apple updates.
    Now I'm wondering what is the best method to get the User folders (with lots of data) from the Previous Users folder into the new Users folder so that all the data is recognized.
    Thanks in advance!

    Just drag contents of the previous Home folder to their respective locations in the new Home folder.
    Do not simply drag the entire Home folder into the new /Users/ folder. Just the content of the old Home folder, i.e., Documents, Downloads, etc. The system may prevent you from replacing some folders, so you will need to move the contents of those folders.
    Oh, and see this: How to get files from a previous home directory after Archive and Install.

  • How do I move my Muse file to the Creative Cloud folder without losing all the links to assets?

    I'd like to keep my .muse files in the Creative Cloud folder so they will be accessible from anywhere, and always backed up. But I have many hundreds of links to image assets etc, and am worried that if I move the Muse file to the CC folder the links will be broken.
    The links situation with Muse already seems worrying to me — my images are all arranged in folders but Muse seems unable to deal with this properly so can have trouble finding them. So if I move not only the Muse file but all the image files and folders, will Muse still be able to operate, or will I be faced with potentially having to spend many hours manually linking the image files?
    Is there a recommended way of arranging assets etc when working with Muse using the Creative Cloud folder?
    Thanks

    Move from the Creative Cloud to the Muse forum. They will be able to help you here with the issue of Muse finding your images.
    The Creative Cloud file storage will do nothing to change any of your files, it will just store them. But you will not be able to make your Muse sight work from within the Creative Cloud.

  • Appletv only sees SOME tv shows

    My appletv sees tv shows purchased from the itunes store, but any thing I mark as a tv show that is a video file of my own does not show up. If I change it back to movie though, it is visible.
    Suggestions?

    I use a program like Parsley Is Atomically Delicious (http://them.ws/pad/) to add program titles/season #/descriptions to the few shows that I don't buy directly from the iTunes Store. It has a very nice batch feature and also offers the option to replace the original file(s).
    My favorite feature: it can derive the season and episode #s that you will sometimes find in the "Season"x"Episode#" Title format.

  • I tried to move some items from inbox to a new folder, it seemed to move but when that folder was opened, it was not there and not in inbox either.

    try to move or copy from any folder to any folder....don't work, moved them earlier to a new folder from inbox, they disappeared. had to access server website to retrieve. now I don't want to bother them in fear of loosing them permanently.

    right click both folder and select properties and then the repair button. Mail is displayed from an index file and this rebuilds the index. It does not actually affect your mail.

  • Auto closing of dispute cases--only for some company codes

    Hi
    We have activated dispute management for several company codes in our system. The auto closing of dispute cases also has been activated in status management. Cases are automatically closed by the system (through a batch job) when the last disputed object is cleared.
    Now there is a requirement to deactivate auto closing only for some company codes. They want to close cases manually in these company codes.
    Is this possible and if so how?
    Regards
    Raj.

    You cannot deselect at a company code level.
    Can we go through you proposed process.
    So you have a dispute for $100.
    The customer pays it and the dispute closes.
    Then the customer calls up and says they have an issue with the invoice they paid previously.
    I have seen this happen before but there was a little twist
    1 - The customer raised a debit note against the client for the issue that they had. The original invoice is cleared but a debit note is created and then disputed and processed. So you can close the original dispute and create a new dispute against the debit note
    2 - The customer paid the wrong invoice. The dispute was closed. However to rectify the miss allocation the clearing document will be reversed meaning the dispute is "re-opened" and can be processed.
    I am unaware of any other requirement for a customer to "re-dispute" a paid item in SAP.

  • Why does my Safari Auto-Fill only work part of the time?

    First of all, why isn't there a link on the Apple website to provide Feedback?  Secondly, I'd love to know why my Safari Auto-Fill only works some of the time, like when entering Sweepstakes information.  I realize some websites don't allow Auto-Fill, but on the ones that do, I can't get the second window to open up when I click "Auto-Fill".

    Safari 6.1.1 and yes all web forms are checked under Preferences Auto-Fill.  I am daily entering sweepstakes for the HGTV dream home, and even though the initial bubble shows up "Auto-Fill your contact information" shows up, when I click on it, the second bubble that lets you confirm the info doesn't always open.  I tried it just now in a separate tab, and it opened; then I came back here to write some of the message.  Then I went back to try again and it won't open.  It drives me crazy.  I keep trying with each new data field and sometimes the second bubble will open further down the page.

  • Nokia wants to Move some of its customers from NSU...

    Is it possible that may be Nokia wants to move some of its customers, the ones who have phones with OTA capabilities, from NSU to OTA?
    OTA shows my N96 has V20 available, but NSU says V12 is the latest. hmmmmmmm, what do you think?

    to say everyone is happy with something is absurd
    if you actually believe everyone thinks like you that would be misguided,
    to answer the question what I believe is this-
    OTA updates the specific or part(s) of firmware that has been upgraded hence the smaller size and likely available before the full version on NSU for your product code
    NSU updates or reinstalls the entire firmware based on product code so NSU updating involves many regional variabilities of the product code
    pavillion_alex I agree completely why would someone be "happy" to pay for something (OTA) they are more likely to get for free (via PC) I have no idea

  • Why can i see the Flash animation that I have embedded in a Director movie only on some computers?

    The SWF file is linked and plays on my computer and on one of the intended computers but not the others even though they are similarly configured (my computer is completely different and I also have the entire Adobe Master Suite along with Director the other machines essentially just have M$ Office). The Director movie has a SWF with the following asset properties:
    Media: Linked, Yes; Preload, Yes
    Playback: Image, Yes; Paused/Sound/Loop/Direct to Stage, all No
    Quality: High
    Scale Mode: Auto-Size
    Rate: Normal
    Scale: 100%
    The SWF file is located in the same folder as the projector.
    I'm using Director 11.5. The end users are on several corporate laptops that are all configured the same to begin with. They are all running Windows XP and of course do not have Director installed on them. I know the file works as it is intended to on the one computer but the rest all fail in a similar way (not including mine obviously which works fine). This to me says that it was published and created correctly but something is missing or setup wrong on those computers which is keeping it from displaying properly.
    Here's the part that is really killing me, I had some extra time one day and sat down for several hours trying different things (installing Flash players, Shockwave players, basically taking shots in the dark with the thought that the computers were missing some plugin, etc) trying to get it to run appropriately and... I figured it out!! Unfortunately I didn't have the time or permissions to repeat the process on the other laptops and now (7-8 weeks later) I can't figure out what I did to make the first one work. I know it's possible and I know it works on that laptop, but when I try using the exact same files/folder on the other laptops it gets to the frame where the animation is supposed to play and it just shows a little repeating elipses (...) animation in the corner. At first I took this to mean it was loading so I waited and waited but it never loads anything. The laptop that works shows the animation immediately and perfectly.

    Hi,
    sorry for my English
    I think Your Local Path Stored in Member ex:"D:\\...." In Client machine that path is not available so
    Use Script
    member("xx").filename = _movie.path&"Foldername/filename.swf"
    or
    Import swf in local cast
    or
    If you are not use Projector.Use Shockwave html then use DSWMEDIA folder to store swf file.
    member("xx").filename = _movie.path&"DSWMEDIA/filename.swf"

  • Movie Art not showing for synced movies, only for streamed ones

    Movie art is shown correctly in iTunes and while streaming, but not on the movies synced (these show poster frame). The only 'movies' that show correctly their movie art in iTunes, streaming and synced are TV Shows, which has lead me to think that the size of the .m4v has something to do. I have to do tests to determine the posible size limit, but for now all the TV Shows have a file size less than 2GB. I'll try to do some testing as soon as work allows me to get back to a normal life, (T_T)

    Back again with some initial findings:
    1. Size of the file does not matters. It shows the poster frame for .m4v files of any size.
    2. Taking again into account your post, I checked every detail between the ripped TV shows and the ripped DVD movies and everything was the same except one small detail: audio settings. The ripped TV shows had an original Dolby Surround soundtrack, so I encoded them choosing the 'Dolby Surround' audio mix setting in the encoding program while with the ripped DVD movies that had an original Dolby Digital 5.1 I choose the '6 Channel Discrete' AAC 5.1 audio mix.
    Noticing this difference, I tried encoding one of the previous movies that had the movie art issue using the same settings, but changing the audio mix setting from '6 Channel Discrete' AAC 5.1 to 'Dolby Pro Logic II'. Imported it to iTunes, applied the Movie cover art, synced with the Apple TV and there was the movie art in the Appke TV.
    I'm gonna try again with different movies, but it seems, preliminarily, that the AAC 5.1 encoding setting does something to how the Apple TV sees the movie art in the file tags even though iTunes sees it alright.
    I'll let you know what results come out of my tests.
    Thanks again.

  • Some tv shows/movies that i bought arent syncing to my ipod

    some TV shows & movies that i bought arent syncing to my ipod. i did notice that in my itunes movies and tv shows folders, there are round, blue dots and half dots next to some of the videos. if a file has a blue dot or a half dot, it will sync. if there is not a dot or half dot it wont sync. i only recently noticed
    these dots. I tried looking thru apple support to find out what these dots are without
    success.
