Can't Set Video Type

I had to upgrade to v8 to use the new firmware on my iPhone. With v8 I can not set the type of video file. I used to be able to right click and go to "Get Info", and then in the videao tab choose what kind of video file it was, ie movie, podcast, or music video. This feature seems to be absent. I have reinstalled iTunes8 3 times after ensuring it was vacant from my registry.
Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I did a search and could not find an answer. Where can I access that feature? I have looked for that option as well and could not find it.
Thanks for your reply,

Can't set media type to music

I was moving some audiobooks that were incorrectly categorized as music, and accidentally labeled a bunch of music as audiobooks, as well.
To my horror, I find that I cannot reset entire albums from audiobook back to music. Experimentation shows that I can set a single song back from audiobook to music, but if I select either an album, or multiple tracks (open the album, select all), then I can change the media type, but when I apply the change in the Get Info window and close, the change in media type does not stick.
I have seen a bunch of related questions, where the answer was "turn off iTunes match," but I do not use iTunes match, so that is not the solution to my problem.
Is there any other way, or must I change each track individually? If so, ouch, it's not nice to have a batch change that can only be undone one at a time.

Was the "Movie" option missing after you had changed it from "iTunes U" to "Podcast"? I found it missing after originally changing the media kind to "iTunes U", but after changing it again to "Podcast", the "Movie" option became available again.

Can you set the type of alert in iCal on the iPad?

I have an iPad (1st generation) with the latest iOS5. I love the new iOS and especially the way that iCloud makes things more seamless between my devices. I do have an issue with iCal, however. When I set an event in iCal in OSX, I can set the alert to be a message, message with sound, email, etc. By default, if I set an event in iCal on my iPad the alert is a message. I can find no way to change this. If there is a way, please tell me.
Because of this, I never use iCal on iPad to set alerts because I like to use message with sound. This greatly reduces the functionality of iCal on iPad because, for me, it can only be used as a calendar event viewer. Any help would be appreciated. Note: I have contacted apple feedback about this issue.
In a related, but less important issue, I find that the settings for the timing of the alert are very limited in iCal on iPad. On iCal in OSX one can set the alert time for either the time of the event, or pretty much any amount of time prior to the event. On the iPad, iCal will only let you set it to the day of the event, 1 or 2 days before, or 1 week before the event. A limitation, but not crippling. However, if anyone knows how to set the timing of the event on iPad's iCal with more specificity I would really like to know.
Thanks!

Under Settings, Sounds, you can set an alert sound for calendar events.
For timed events, you can set the alert for a range of times from 5 minutes before upwards (e.g.15 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour). For all-day events, the range is as you described.
You can set the alert for each event as you create it (or edit it later)
You can set default alerts for all-day event,s timed events, and birthdays (i.e. different defaults for each type) in Settings, Mail, Contacts and Calendar, default Alerts.
Does that help?

Can't set alarm, type of alarm isn't even visible

My alarms worked a month ago and now I can't even set one because the pulldown menu is grayed out. And the option to select what type of alarm I want isn't showing up at all. I just downloaded and reinstalled 1.5.5 but no help. Any ideas?

Ron,
Open Address Book, find your card and make sure that you choose Card>Make This My Card.
If that is unsuccessful, delete and recreate your card, making sure to once again choose "Make This My Card."

I mistakenly changed the video type to iTunes U

I was intending to classify it as a TV Show. Now I cannot see it on my Itunes U library therefore I cannot change the video type to the originally intended TV Show. I know the file exists by using Finder and browsing all the way down to Itunes U folder, but I can't edit the information (actually the "get Info" box in Finder is completely different from the "get Info" box in Itunes).
How can I make this files show up in Itunes U so that I can change the video type once again? Is there a way I can change the video type form outside Itunes?

Does it show up if you create a smart playlist with the rule Name is <Name>, or a similar constuction using the details you can recall? If so then you will be able to reset the Media Kind.

How can I set multiple videos to "TV Show"?

I'm importing an entire season and they all default to "Movie". So, I know that I can set the video type to "TV Show", but if I select more than one video, there is no "Video" tab. Does anyone know how to set the types of multiple videos at once?

This is a good question and I haven't found a method yet either. This seems to be an oversight on Apple's part.

Can't play video when it's type "TV Show"

I've got some videos copied from TV show DVDs. They sync to the iPhone OK, but if I have them set as type "TV Show" in the Get Info tag, they don't show up in video. If I go in iTunes and change the type to "Movie" they suddenly appear and play fine. If I go to the search page on the phone I can find the TV shows I've uploaded, but when I select them the Video app quickly snaps back to the empty show list. Obviously I can sync just as a Movie, but this makes organizing the shows a lot more difficult (especially since the Movie view doesn't display the title wide enough for me to see the episode number).

Hi,
You may take the following into account:
The following devices support the mobile application:
Anchor– iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4
Anchor– iPod Touch 4th Generation
Anchor– iPad 1 and iPad 2
You can check this link: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_3/showandshare/admin/guide/ssadmin/mobile.html#45621
Is it working for non-mobile users?
Does your mobile has connectivity to your SnS Network?
Hope this helps!

Can i set organizer in pse9 to see only videos?

It seems logical there must be a way to set organizer in PSE 9 to display videos only. Any suggestion greatly appreciated. Thanks

Simply use the menu 'View' on the top bar : File - Edit - Find - View ...
That opens a drop-down menu in which you can select the media type you want to show, photos, videos...
Is that what you wanted to do ?
When I opened the link you suggested

How can I determine the type of video out connector I need?

Howdy,
I have a white macbook purchased Jun/2008. I want to connect to a TV but don't know what adapter I need. How can I determine the type of video out jack my macbook has?
System Profiler says the model identifier is "MacBook 4,1". Under Graphics/Displays the only thing it says about the "Display Connector" is that no display is connected. Too bad it doesn't tell me what type of connector it is. If I knew the name of the connector I'd probably be home free. But it seems like every macbook model has a different video connector (since the state of the art has advanced over the years) and I haven't been able to keep up with the names.
Now, I have a 6" long adapter that will convert this connector to VGA. And searching the Apple store for VGA adapters, the existence of mine says my connector is might be one of "Mini DisplayPort", "Apple Mini DVI", "Apple DVI", or "Apple Micro-DVI". But then there is also the connector at
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
and that looks like the one I have. But unlike the other adapters, this one is just called a "VGA Display Adapter". Does the connector have a name? How can I find adapters that have that same connector?
I know I could use the adapter I have, plus a VGA to VGA cable, to hook up to a TV. But the quality of the VGA signal is poor in the digital world. My goal is to hook up to the TV via HDMI. Is this even possible? By which I mean, will my macbook generate the signals necessary to be able to be converted to HDMI?
Thanks for any help,
Zebulon T

Thanks, Ded,
You're right, the cable that I have won't work. I't from my previous, 2004 iBook. This is pretty embarrassing... I looked at the cable but didn't bother to try plugging it in.
Looking at the close-up picture of the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, that does look like the right connector. So I have Mini-DVI, and the other apter you pointed to can convert this to DVI. I'll take a look to see what makes the most sense, connector wise, downstream from that.
Thanks very much.

I need to set up an expense form so that our consultant can "filter" by customer type, program type, and finally the purpose of the trip. For instance: the customer types are churches, schools, organizations. The program type would be dependent on the customer type selection from the first list. Some examples would be: fund raising, gift planning, surveys, and others. The purpose of the trip would be dependent on the program type selected from the second list. Some examples of trip purposes would be: presentation, design, prospecting. Further, the purpose of trip selection from the third drop-down box would then have to determine the values of other fields by expense type: such as commission, airfare, hotel. etc. I've tried pop-up menu but can't figure out how to "select" from the final popup list and have it populate a field for the purpose of the trip. I've tried to look at the JavaScript examples for dependent drop-down boxes, but can't find any that quite fit what I'm trying to accomplish. I am very new to all of this. No training in writing Javascripts - just trying to wing it. The form has to be very simple for our consultants to use, but also give our office the detail we need to process through the correct account numbers. I would appreciate any detailed step-by-step instructions - kind of a javascript for dummies type of info. HELP!

An AcroForm is the name given to the type of PDF form that you create in Acrobat. An XFA form is the type of form that you create in LiveCycle Designer. Although they are both PDF files, they are very different structurally and have significant;y different scripting models. So pay attention to the information on AcroForms and ignore anything about XFA. Be sure to get the sample PDF forms so you can look at how it works and where the scripts are placed.
What you want to do will require scripting, and if you don't have the experience and are unable to use the information in the tutorials to create what you want, you might consider getting someone who has experience do this for you. I'll often suggest code if I can do so quickly, but what you want requires more than a few minutes.

Ipad shows all regular Iphone inbound calls as Facetime. I only want true FT calls to appear. I switch audio/video and it still happens. How can I set the Ipad to only register true facetime calls rather than all inbound regular calls? thanks

My Ipad will show all regular inbound calls, from Iphone, as Facetime calls. I would like only TRUE facetime calls to appear. I have switched audio/video on Ipad but it still happens. How can I set the Ipad to only register only true FT calls rather than all inbound calls that a re not facetime calls? Yes, you may have to reread this twice and slowly to understand..... Thanks!

Hi webn,
I understand that you do not wish to see phone calls on your iPad anymore. I have an article for you with some information on accomplishing this goal:
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6337
Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone cellular calls on your iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
On your Mac, open the FaceTime app and go to FaceTime > Preferences. Click Settings and deselect the iPhone Cellular Calls option.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

How can i set Messages to auto answer video chats?

I used to be able to have iMessages and iChat auto-answer incoming video chat/calls. I use this to communicate with staff who may not be able to quickly accept the incoming event.

Hi,
The AppleScript for this is still there.
It can be set in Messages Menu > Preference > General Section in the bottom drop down.
The Sound/alerts pane has gone in Mavericks and sound can now only be changed for "Messages Received".
Although I must admit to not trying it I have presumed the AppleScript would then only work for Text Invites.
Having said that the AppleScript should be able to run as a separate even like an App from the Dock.
The Drop Down in Messages has an Option to Show In Finder effectively.

Can my iMac be set to type with French characters?

Hello all! Can my iMac be set to type with French characters? If so, what is the path? And, is there a keyboard overlay to see where the French language characters are located on the keyboard? Thanks!

Hey Steve,
Thanks again for the thoughts... Unfortunately, the only characters that I can use keyboard shortcuts for French are the é, ç and the á (it's better than nothing).
Outside of that, I have to switch keyboard layouts. I know of the accent grave ( `e ) that's nextdoor to the number one key... But it don't work... my translator thinks it's a typo... because it takes up a whole characters worth of space instead of sharing the space with the actual letter (vowel), like the other accents.
So I need keyboard shortcuts for:
ê Ê Ë ë è È
Ô ô Ö ö
à À Û û
I use these letters just enough to make switching keyboards back and forth a little irksome. Since the two keyboards have pretty distinctively different layouts and then we have the position of the A and M keys and.. well... see where this could lead??? LOL
Thanks...
I appreciate your thoughts, as always...
