Can I create a new category in iTunes

I think it would be great to create a new category called Christmas in the Library. Then to have it divide up like the books do into movies, then books and then music. Is it possible?

There are a couple of things you can do, probably the simplest and least bothersome (i.e. doesn't recategorist your music from 'Classical' to 'Christmas' so you can't sort by classical anymore) is to  create your own play list (click the little plus sign in the bottom left of itunes) and call it 'Christmas' - then drag all the relevant songs into it - they don't duplicate, just create short-cuts.
When you view that list, you can the sort the contents by kind, and this will give you the divisions between books / music / movies etc...

  • How can I create a new name and itunes acct

    I want to give my old 2nd generation ipod nano to my son.  Can I create a new device name and itunes for the ipod?

    Yes.  I would suggest creating a separate user account for him on your PC to use to store his own separate iTunes library.  See Method 1 from this Apple support document for more information and assistance.
    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
    When he connects the iPod to this new iTunes library he'll need to Erase and Sync (or restore) the iPod allowing him to set it up as his own iPod and everything just as if you had just taken it out of the box.

  • How can you create a new category list and attach it to a new incident template

    We intend to create helpdesks for various teams e.g. Facilities, IT, HR etc and allow staff to email separate email addresses via the exchange connector.  So incidents get assigned to separate queues categorised via the support group set in the
    assigned template used by the connector.  I want separate category lists for each template so IT staff don't see Facilities categories etc. This all works apart from having separate Incident classification lists attached to the appropriate template. 
    Thanks
    David

    So I suppose I have to do something similar to the blog post below.  I assume that if I create a new 'facilities incident' class I can create a distinct category list and attach that to a template without showing the default category list?
    Thanks

  • How can I create a new library in iTunes 12?

    This is for the newest iTunes: 12.0.1.26 for the OSX version 10.9.5--- the other methods I found online don't work. Thanks!

    Hold the "Option" key down while clicking on the iTunes icon in your dock.  Choose "Create Library" from the pop-up that appears.

  • Is it possible to create a new "category" in iTunes?

    I'm not even sure if we can create our own categories....I'd like to be able to have two different year columns - one for when the work was first created (ex: Mozart's Symphony No. 25 in G minor was written in 1773) and a second column for when a particular recording of it was made (ex: the 2013 Mungo Records release). It would be nice to be able to sort songs by those two different kinds of "years".....So if we are allowed to do this, can someone tell me how?

    All kidding aside, what just came to mind was the notion that if you wanted to, you could use the comments column to list the date the piece was originally written (either in place of actual comments or immediately before a few comments should you so desire.
    In retrospect:  The year the recording was made would, of course, be automatically entered in the year column, but if you manually entered the yr. that the piece was written at the very beginning of the comment section , you would be able toat least see/& or sort by the date written (and still be able to enter a few comments after the date if you so desired).
    So, it is possible if you are willing to tweek the data a bit!

    I have an iPad2 and a new MacBook running Mountain Lion. Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my current Hotmail Id for my Apple Id for iTunes, iCloud.

  • Can I create a new itunes account and synch my iPod to it?

    I have an iTunes account, but have only bought music and apps on it for my son's iPod Touch.
    Now I have my own iPod Touch and we want to have separate accounts. I already synched my new iPod to my own account - the one where all his music is.
    What can I do at this point to let my son have his own account with all the music/apps he has purchased?
    Can I create a new account and synch my iPod to that? Can I change the email address on the first account to my son's email?

    Yes but you will need to authorize your computer for purchases on the old iTunes account.

  • After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

    After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

    You have two separate questions here...
    To get all your music into one playlist, select Music in the sidebar and click the Songs view at the top. Then, highlight all the songs and drag them into your playlist.
    I don't know if it's possible to download all Purchased content (or do you mean iTunes Match content?) at once; try a few Google searches.

  • Upgraded to 11.3.1 now can't open library. Won't read. I have an older iMac (2008). Message I get is: cannot be read because was created by newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?' ... so I do and it fixes nothing. OS 10.6.8

    Upgraded to 11.3.1 now can't open library. Won't read. I have an older iMac (2008). Message I get is: cannot be read because was created by newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?' ... so I do and it fixes nothing. Same message again. OS is 10.6.8.

    Thanks again. The option thing got me further than I've gotten thus far but when I went to choose a library I got that same message.
    I do have options. I have 2 iMacs. I can still access my music through 'sharing' and download it onto my newer iMac. Trouble is it doesn't have a CD port and I like to burn. From what I've read about their new Mac portable CD/DVD drive, it's shaky at best. Incidentally, do you know of any drives that work well with Macs and cost less than $89.00?
    I've figured out I can download a previous library from my old Mac then upload it from the new one which should put me back in business, but what do I do with the corrupt one that's there now, just trash it? Also, when I do the option key my other choice is Create A New Library. Should I do that and put the good previous library into it?
    Thanks a million, I really appreciate your time. I'm an old fogey and computers often mystify me, especially when they lock me out of things for no apparent reason.

  • I have just just installed a new version of itunes. When i tried to run the new version it came up with the message "The file ituneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by newer version of itunes. Can anybody advise?

    I have just just installed a new version of itunes. When i tried to run the new version it came up with the message "The file ituneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by newer version of itunes.
    I installed the new version because itunes had not recognised my ipod nano 5G, and told me to reinstall. Itunes selected which version to install, so I don't understand what is going on. To add insult to injury it installed a pile of malware which I am still trying to get rid off.
    Any advice would be helpful

  • I created a new playlist on iTunes but I can't see it on my iPhone?

    I created a new playlist on iTunes but I can't see it on my iPhone?
    This is iPhone 6 latest OS version

    Hi ik-graphics,
    So you synced a new playlist to your iPhone but it isn't available on the phone?
    When you synced the playlist to your iPhone with iTunes, did you have the music set to sync the Entire music library or Selected playlist…?
    3.  Select the Sync checkbox, then select the items you want to sync automatically each time you connect your device.
    If you had it set for Selected playlist, please make sure the new one is selected to sync.
    Take care,

  • Can I create a "new" iTunes library on an external hard drive and transfer my iTune library to save space on my laptop

    Can I create a "new" iTunes library on an external hard drive and transfer my iTune library to save space on my laptop hard drive

    Yes. Just copy all your music to a folder on your external. Then delete the music on your computers hard drive.
    It is not quite that simple. If you do that you will end up with many broken links and will have to re-create your library from scratch .  iTunes does not like it when you move or rename files or folders and doing so between drives is guaranteed to result in exclamation marks indicating you have broken the links to all your media files.
    If you are content with moving the whole library to an external drive (usually the best thing for most people), try:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4?

    How can I create a new ring tone for my iPhone 4? I followed the Garage Band process and ended up with the ring tone I want as a AAC audio file. It got stored in my iTunes a a song rather than a ring tone. How do I make it a ring tone vs. a song? I tried dragging it t the Ring Tone category at the bottom of the ITunes list, but it won't alloow me to move it?

    There's also an easy to use Applescript over at Doug's Applescripts for iTunes. It automates the whole thing. All you do is set the start and stop time on a file in iTuens and run the script. It will do everything else.
