Creating new Genres in Music Library

The help pages refer to a Genre pop up menu, which can be customised. I can't find the pop up menu. I want to create new genres, e.g. Opera, Live albums, etc. I am using iTunes version 9.1

Elise, When you right-click a track, choose Get Info and go to the Info tab. There you will see a box, and you can type in any genre you want: "Opera," "Live albums," "Live opera albums," etc.
Once you create a new genre, it will appear in the drop down menu, as TT2 mentions, as long as there is at least one song in the library using it.

  • Create new account - Lose music library?

    I have recently moved and have purchased my own computer. I had all of my iTunes music transfered to the new computer. I previously shared an iTunes account with my parents' on their computer. If I create a new account on my new computer, will I lose all the music in my library?
    Message was edited by: VSeewald

    Presuming you mean a new iTunes Store account, no, you won't lose anything. You will, however, have to authorized the new computer to your parents' iTunes Store account to be able to play those previously-purchased tracks. But you can have a single computer authorized to up to five iTunes Store accounts, so there shouldn't be any problem.
    Regards.

    Please help.It happens only on few sub sites

    Hi V_K04,
    You said that it happened only on few sub sites, whether this issue occurred on some subsites, and some subsite worked well.
    Please check whether there are some differences between the subsites that worked well and the problematic subsites. 
    Whether this issue occurred on all libraries and lists on problematic subsites.
    Whether there are some customizations in these problematic libraries and lists.
    Please create a new library and a new list, test again, compare the result.
    BestRegards,

  • New Mac, external music library: "Some of the items in the itunes library, including ..., were not copied because they could not be found"

    New Mac Mini with Lion, external disk music library, redirected new iTunes to point to external disk, most songs are fine ( 90% )
    But...
    "Some of the items in the itunes library, including ..., were not copied because they could not be found" to my iPhone 4.
    Out of 4,800 songs, I have over 400 now which have "!" next to them in iTunes listing, but play just fine in iTunes.
    After playing them, the "!" goes away.  Is there a way to fix all of these at once?
    Note: If I could sort all of these in the list, to the top etc, then I could "down arrow, hit return" fast over and over... Any way to sort missing items to the top? Any way to get missing items all in one place, e.g. playlist?

    Well, I went through and cleared all the !'s by just double-clicking on the songs. Took a while but worked okay...
    Until...
    I logged out and back in. Now all the !'s are back, even though the songs still play fine.
    Perhaps this has to do with an external disk coming online a bit later than iTunes would like?

  • ITunes 12: cannot create new Genre

    When I attempt to edit Genre info of a song or album, I no longer have the option to type in anything.  Before I upgraded to iTunes 12, I could just highlight and edit, but I can no longer type anything in the Genre box.
    Now I can only choose from existing Genres?  What's the deal here?
    This is far from ideal.
    Anybody have a solution for this?

    Hi,
    The ability to change or add genres is still there.
    Just click on genre field and make change.

  • Create new Categories within Library

    I'd like to create new categories withing my Library, (not playlist)
    Example:
    There are already categories (Probably not correct term) within my Library (Music, Movies, Podcast, Ipod Games, Radio) I'd like to know how to add/delete these categories.
    I want to do this so I can create separate sections for Lectures, and Audio books I download, and want separate from my music. (Especially annoying when viewing by album art) I've searched around, but have only found information on creating Separate librarys.
    Thanks in advanced,
    Brett

    I just have one last question then, I just recently purchased a Game for my Ipod, and it created an Ipod Games category within my Library, I was wondering if there was a way to write a script to create a new category in the same way Itunes created "Ipod Games". Although even if that were possibly I don't know how I would upload the files since they would go directly to my Music folder.
    Any Ideas?
    I'm thinking (If I can create another category with a script as described above) I could create a new itunes Library, upload the files I want, then copy it into the directory of the new category within my previous library(bit long winded sentence) that way Itunes would create the necessary XML files, and what not.
    Sorry if that didn't make any sense, I have some programming experience on PC, but I'm new to Mac, and its applications, although I am loving OS X and thinking about a Apple desktop replacement.
    Thanks in advanced.

  • TS2776 Iphone not sinking new purchases from Muscic Library on pc?

    Suggestion needed.  My Iphone 3GS is not sinking my new purchases from Music Library on Vista Windows pc?

    iTunes still works with ALL iPods, back the original iPod.
    The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar.  From the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    Does your iPod appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
    If it does, select it there.  Over to the right, there is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Music there.  This screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync your iPod with songs from the iTunes library.  You need to set it up, so that the songs you want on the iPod are included in your selection.  If your entire iTunes Music library will fit on the iPod, you can choose the option for Entire music library.  Otherwise, choose Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
    NOTE:  If the iPod already has songs on it, its current content will be replaced by your selection on the Music tab, when you click Apply.
    This document provides general information about loading music on iPod

  • We lost our Music Library when we changed from Vista to W7.

    Recently had to change from Vista to W7 and when we downloaded a new iTunes, our Music Library wasn't there.  What am I doing wrong? 

    Actually, it won't in my case.
    On the external, I have them all saved in a folder called My Music (which contains some songs itself). There are hundreds of sub folders listed by Artist. Within those folders, are songs and also more folders with the Album title. Finally, within those album folders are the songs on that album.
    I tried to load the entire My Music into iTunes, and it only loaded the songs in the My Music folder. I assume you have to go to every folder (down to the lowest level) and import them one by one.
    I lose all of my playlists and ratings. They are still on my iPod - I wish there was a way to export those settings into a file, then repopulate iTunes - then use that file to re-organize my songs to the way they were.
    I had weeks of work invested in iTunes and music organization.

  • Can you put music in more than one genre without creating a new genre?

    My question is more specific than the subject. Is it possible to put albums and music in more than one genre category and not have it make a new genre in itself?
    (I view my music as a list, column browser on top. Genre is the left-most category and I narrow down what I'm looking for from there, left to right.)
    For example, I would like to have one album (Kundun) in both the "classical" genre category AND the "soundtrack" category. When I highlight the album and view the information("info") and at the bottom write "classical, soundtrack" in the genre drop down box, instead of listing the album in both classical and in soundtrack, iTunes instead creates an entirely new genre called "classical, soundtrack." This defeats the purpose, because it now separates it out from the rest of my classical music, or soundtrack music.
    Is there a solution to get what I am looking for? The album shows up in the soundtrack genre, and can show up in the classical genre.
    Thanks.

    iOS devices and Apple TV's will only send the audio to one Airplay speaker at a time. However, iTunes on a computer will send audio to multiple Airplay speakers. With the help of Home Sharing and Apple's free Remote app on an iOS device you can control iTunes as well as the speakers connected to it.

  • 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.

  • HT1349 I just purchased  new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded Itunes, but when I try to add my Music Library from the back up dvd's I created off my old computer it doesn't automatically start the back up process like it did before. How can I "restore"

    I just purchased a new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded new itunes, but when I try to "restore" my music library from the DVDS i made from my old pc it doesn't automatically restore my library as it used to.  How do I restore my music library from DVDS?

    Thanks but I already did read all of the help notes, which aren't very helpful for this.  I did find out the problem- Apple.....they evidently changed one of the major upsides to their old software- being able to back up your entire library onto dvd's- so you can longer do that or restore from the dvds created from older versions of itunes.  I suspect greed is at play in that Apple now wants you to pay $24.95 per year to use a "cloud" service where they back it up for you.  I can buy a lifetime supply of back up dvds for one year's worth of cloud.  So I am now looking into other music software as I am Appled-out.  There is no reason for them to take away the back up portion of the software other than to sell you thrir cloud service.  As we have already given them a ton of money for 5 Ipods and a bunch of music, I think we have contributed enough.  Time to look to solutions outside of the Apple money tree.  But thank you for reading and replying.

  • How to create new genius playlists from existing music in library?

    I tried the genius button for creating lists from existing music in my library. The problem is that it continues to show the first list created no matter what song I highlight then hit the genius button. Genius works fine for creating lists I can purchase online, but not new ones from my own music.

    This is the iTunes for Mac forum.
    As you are running Windows you will probably get a better response from posting in the iTunes for Windows forum:

  • HT1589 what's the best way to move content to a new library I created ie a holiday music only library?

    what's the best way to move content to a new library I created ie a holiday music only library?

    Sophie:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You're only hope to recover the library as it once was is to: 1 - if you have a backup copy of your iPhoto Library or 2 - you can put everything back exactly the way it was in the Finder.
    Otherwise you'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your current library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I have a nano 5th gen bought new. I no longer have the computer that I registered it w and created music library on. I want to allow my new computer and itunes to sync w my nano w/o losing the music on it. When I try it tells me i

    I have a nano 5th gen which I bought new. I no longer have the computer that I sync'd it with and created library on. I have new computer and Itunes library which I want to sync w my nano and songs on it. When I try it tells me I will loose all the songs on my nano bc Im already sync'd on a dif library. How do I keep from loosing all my songs?

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new or different iTunes library, it will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
