Change iTunes Movie Genre in iCloud

Simple problem. I buy a movie on iTunes. Once downloaded, I change the genre of the movie. I then update iTunes Match. However, on AppleTV under Movies > Purchased, the genres that show are not my iTunes genres and the movie has the store genre, not mine in iTunes. If I go to Computers on AppleTV and connect directly to my iTunes library, the genre is the way I want it.
How do I change the genre of an iTunes purchased movie in iCloud/iTunes Match and have that genre show up in Movies > Purchased on AppleTV?

iTunes Match and iTunes in the Cloud are not the same service and using the "update iTunes Match" command will have no affect on the ID3 tags of videos in the cloud. In fact, at this time, it is not possible to change the tags of videos in the cloud. To use custom ID3 tags in your videos, download them to your computer and share them with the Apple TV via Home Sharing.

ITunes movie genres reverting?

I have a growing collection of iTunes movies from both iTunes store purchases, as well as digital downloads bundled with discs.
Apple likes to categorize just about everythign into "Action & Adventure". I have changed the genre on some of the purchased movies to things like "Kids & Family", "Thriller" or "Sci-Fi & Fantasy".
Every once in a while, I will restart iTunes on my Mac Mini and notice that genres have reverted back to (probably) their defaults. When I look at the "Get Info" data for a reverted video, I notice that the genre I've changed it to (e.g. "Kids & Family") is correctly listed there, but the movie is grouped into the "Action & Adventure" genre within iTunes. Interestingly, I will change nothing in the Get Info dialog, click on OK and the movie magically appears in the genre category I "moved it to".
Music tracks do this, as well, but let's just focus on Movies; does anyone know of a work around to stop this annoying behavior from iTunes?
Thanks, in advance.

I'm sorry you are having the same issues, but feel vidicated that I am not alone with these challenges. I really like the Apple eco-system for media, and this is definitely a 1st-world problem, but is very annoying nonetheless.
On the music side, I went into my iTunes account "Purchases" link and set as Hidden all of my iTunes store music purchases. I just did this last night and we'll see if this helps with my music problems (which have been endless, since signing up for iTunes Match - which I disconnected from all of my devices awhile back).
I have a number of movie sound tracks that keep reverting to "Compilation" and changing genre; I went through these and correct them all, after hiding them in the store. We'll see. If this works, I may do the same with Movies.
TV shows have (mostly) worked really well because I rarely need to edit the meta data for these (exceptions being some recent episodes were missing the season number, which screws up how they sort in Apple TV). I fixed some of these last night (Ghost in the Shell: Arise) and we'll see if they stick.
I would be OK with hiding songs and movies, but TV shows are really nice in the cloud, since new episodes update frequently.

ITunes movie Genres

How can I create a movie genre in iTunes?

Right-click (or Control-click) on the movie and select Get Info from the pop-up menu. In the panel that opens, click on the Info tab. At the bottom of the panel you will see an item labelled "Genre". Type a genre name in the box to create a new genre, or click on the down pointing arrow to reveal genres already in place.

How do I move my iTunes movies to my iCloud? I need to free up space

I need to free up space on my MacBoo hard drive and thought a good place to start would be moving my movie library to the iCloud. How do I make that transfer?

Probably the easiest way is to drag the files from the iTunes window to the external drive. Make sure they have copied. Delete them from iTunes. Hold down the option key and drag the copied files back to iTunes. This will add them back but mapped to their new location and the option/alt key will stop the files from being copied to your Media folder on the internal drive.
In future if you are adding a batch of files in one go you can set preferences temporarily to store media on the external drive, then change back again. See also: iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

Itune movie genres

Hi,
I have several videos stored in Itunes under "Movies".
I have noticed that you can create "Genres" or categorize the videos or movies to better organize them.
How do you go about creating new categories or "genres"
to file your videos under?
Thank you.

If you right mouse click on an item, select info then the space to set the Genre is at the bootm. If the Standard Genres are not suitable then type in your own in the box. It will Then be available for future use.

How can I store iTunes movies in my iCloud?

Please help!!!

It's worth emphasizing that despite Apple's confusing advertising, iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes purchases. Items you have purchased from iTunes can be downloaded again to other devices; and iTunes Match enables you (at a charge) to upload music you didn't purchase from the Store. An iCloud account is not required for all this; iCloud does not provide general file storage but is intended for syncing data between your devices.

ITunes changing movie genre

I appears that iTunes Rev 11.1.5 and earlier has been changing my DvD movie genres in my library. I can set the genre and come back weeks later and they all seem to default to Action & Adventure which happens to be the first custom genre in my list. This issues has been happening for several iTunes revs now. I have a large movie collection so going back and reentering the genres is not a solution. The issue voids me of any genre sorting.

1. iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTumes Media folder when adding to library [ CHECK ]
2. Do a iTunes menu File > Library > Organize Library... > Consolidate files
and then try again.

Changing Movie Genre Corrupts File?

I believe I just discovered a pretty mean bug. I was trying to organize the videos in my iTunes "movies" section, including some home videos. I wanted to add a "genre" to my home videos, so I went to "get info" and manually added the genre "Home Videos." After that, the thumbnail picture disappeared from the videos, and a few minutes later they were unplayable. I replaced them with fresh copies (thank God I'd backed them up), repeated the process, and it happened again. Does it make sense for this to be linked to the "genre" change, or do I have a virus, or is my iTunes just fubar?

I had to change my Apple ID and password in itunes. Now my icloud doesn't work and I can't update my apps on my iPhone. I have looked at suggestions on the community pages and apple suggestions but none of them are relevant to iOS 8.1.2
icloud just keeps bringing up my old email address & asking for my old password which doesn't exist anymore and when I try to sign out of icloud it wants my old password, when I tried to change my primary email back to the old one it wants me to verify it through an email address that doesn't exist. Please can you help me sort out this nightmare.

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

You can't do that. iCloud does function that way.

Hello Rsd841979,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It's not very clear to me what you're trying to accomplish with iCloud, but if you want to start backing up to iCloud, then you can follow the directions in the article below. If this is not what you are trying to do, then please let me know what you're wanting to use iCloud with.

HT4913 If I sign up for iTunes Match, and then turn the iTunes Match on my iPad, will my music library from the iPad that is not currently in iCloud move to the iCloud?

I have a large music library on my iPad, that is not currently on iCloud or on my main PC. If I sign up for iTunes Match, and then turn the iTunes Match on my iPad, will the music library from the iPad that is not currently in iCloud move to the iCloud? Or will I loose all that music?

While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark? I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed. Can someone help me?

It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.
