Editing music & videos on iTunes

I recently bought a new Windows 7 laptop, installed iTunes and authorized it. I've also de-authorised my old laptop. However, when I connect my iPhone 4 (iOS 5) to my new laptop, I'm unable to delete/add my music & videos. Can anyone help?

Have clicked on your iPhone's icon on the left side bar of the iTunes above the "DEVICES" name?

You can move your iTunes library.. Apple have explicit instructions to do it. If the library is moved to the TC and accessed over wireless, the efficiency of the whole system will drop dramatically..
A file you download goes.. Modem---TC--Laptop--Back to TC--Store on disk. Double looping the wireless slows it dramatically..
As far as using TC for your iTunes.. you CAN.. but SHOULD YOU?
Store files on the TC.

This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
Major issues.
1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.

Add my own music videos to iTunes

When i add a music video or an episode of TV show to iTunes, it will always file it under the "Movies" tab. The music videos i buy on iTunes will always be filed under "Music Videos"...i have tried playing around to tag my own music videos as "music Videos" in iTunes with no success..Does anyone know what i have to do to get it to work?!!

You can set the kind to "Movie" or "Music Video" as follows:
In the iTunes library find the video and then Right click it / Get Info / Options tab / Video kind and choose.
It would be nice if there were more choices but this may be enough for you.

Can't dowload music video from iTunes

Hoping someone can help me.
I tried downloading a music video from iTunes. I purchased the video, it started downloading and right at the end I got the following message and iTunes just shut down.
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close...Please tell Microsoft about this problem..."
An option to send an error report was also given.
There is no record that I purchased the video, but yet when I tried to buy the music video again, i got a message saying that had I already purchased it, but i can't find it anywhere in iTunes or in any of my folders in my computer.
Hope someone can help me out!

Hmm. It should.
Here's the main Download support page. There is a form at the bottom if nothing there helps. It may take a while to get a response. Some weeks they get absolutely swamped.

I just bought a music video in itunes...

I just bought a music video in itunes and it doesn't show up in movies, it shows up in music, and then I synced my ipod and it is not on my ipod. How do I get it on there? Thanks!

Hi Gamer,
The real thing is music videos are not characterized as a movie file in iTunes system, instead they are known as audio video files, which is why it's added to the music list.
If you still like the videos to be listed in the 'Movies' section, than you need to do it manually:
Select the file>>>right click & press "Get Info"....'Options'...."Media Kind"....Check "Movie".
GOOD LUCK

I cant add music videos to itunes library of itunes version 10.7

I am using itunes version 10.7. I am unable to add music videos into Itunes library. The Movies section remains blank when i select a music video and add it to library.

Why you open a new thread for questions which where answered already 100 times...and do nou use the search option???
But quickly:
1. The IPOD Video needs the right video format
2. There a dozends of 3rd party SW solutions available to convert almost every format into the IPOD Video compatible format - some of them are freeware - use e.g. Google to find some.

How to watch music video in itunes all ready purchased ?

How to watch music video in itunes all ready purchased ?
please help me leave me a reply okay:)?????!!

Hi dantheman302,
I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear on your exact question. If you are talking about watching something that you have previously purchased but is no longer in your iTunes Library for whatever reason, you should be able to redownload it from the iTunes Store in most instances. You may find the steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Updated ipod touch 4g to ios 6 and now my music, video and iTunes U do not work

I just updated my ipod touch 4th gen to IOS 6 and now if I try to start my music, video, or iTunes U it displays the background for the app on the screen for a while and then returns to the main screen. I can't access any of the content stored on my iPod except for books downloaded. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Have you tried a hard reset of your device yet? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, you may need to connect it to iTunes and restore it from a previous backup and to factory settings after that if necessary.

Can't load music videos to itunes

Hello, i am new on this. My husband gave me an ipod and i will like to load it with music videos and dvds that i have at home. But when i try to open it with itunes it does not let me. What can i do?

Unfortunately, the process of getting video files and DVD's onto your computer, and then onto your iPod can be a tricky one, especially for someone new. I'm quite familiar with iTunes/iPods myself, and still haven't looked much into the process of putting certain videos onto the iPod.
Some people might say: "oh its easy" "you need such and such program", but there are a lot of settings for the video files that are specific to the iPod, and not everyone knows that. Without those "extra programs" however, theres no real way to get a non-compaitable video onto your iPod, it simply HAS to be that format, and you WILL need a program for doing that. So if you want to get DVDs on your computer, youll need to get your hands dirty with some programs and some tough processes to figure out, sometimes tricky especially when some methods of doing so may or may not be very legal.
Sadly, it's not as easy as putting the DVD in, and having it appear in iTunes to save for your iPod.
What I CAN say is if you want to purchase/rent music videos/movies from the iTunes store, that is the easiest way obviously because when downloaded, they are already in a ready-to-go format for your iPod. It's the best way to do it, but of course, will cost you per purchase.

How can I change the media info from Concert Film to Music Video in ITunes 11.01.12

I purchased a concert film a while back from the ITunes store, and in previous versions of ITunes, I had been able to change the media info from concert film to music video so I could watch it in my library (and any devices) without losing any of my library when I synced my devices (could only have either music, movies or tv shows on device - stupid I know), now with the new version, that option is greyed out, so I can't change anything, is there any way around it?
Thanks so much!

When you say "remove his account", do you mean remove his Apple ID as well as all his stuff (music, movies, and whatever else is housed in iTunes)? If so, delete all his stuff (music, etc.), have him deauthorize the computer (Store > Deauthorize This Computer), and sign out of his account (Store > Sign Out) and then sign in to yours.
If all you want to do is remove his Apple ID and not fuss with his stuff, then things get more complicated, because you do not own his stuff.

How to delete duplicate and triplicate Music Videos in itunes?

Hi, I have 3 music videos, two of which are in triplicate, and one that is duplicated. How can I delete them? When I have my music video playlist open, delete is not highlighted as a viable "tool" or command to choose (not in dark black/it is grey). In the list, have unchecked all but one of each so dup/ trips won't sync to my Ipod but I need every morsel of memory I can get on this PC. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
Thank you, SP

Hi Alan, I noticed that my music videos were also listed just as music in the library and from there I was able to delete the dup's and trips. Thanks for your information.

Is there a way to disable the itunes video pop up for music videos in itunes 11?

I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the video window from popping up everytime I change a music video track in itunes in previous versions I always used play in artwork viewer but I accidentally updated and now that option is no longer there. I use itunes to organize my music collection as I'm a video dj but it's becoming to be a really big pain now with all the videos popping up. Any help would be greatly appreciated

You can choose to have videos play in the iTunes window, rather than a separate window. Start playback of a video, then right click in the video and choose "Play video in iTunes window"
