Error changing media type

Hi
I have ripped some TV shows from DVD and when I import them they default to Movies. If I change their media type to TV I can no longer play them.
What am I doing wrong?

If the options are dimmed, I'm thinking there's a restriction on the file preventing those from being changed. As far as I know, I think the only way to work around that would be to burn the files to an audio CD and then re-import them to your iTunes library and keep them as music or audiobook files.

  • Itunes 10.6.1.7 problem: when I change the file "media type" from 'Music' to 'Podcast' the file disapears from ITUNES. I do this via (1) right click, (2) select 'Get Info', (3) select 'options' tab, and (4) change media type. What is the problem?

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

  • Cannot change media type

    I imported an audiobook from CD to my library and wanted to change afterwards the media type from "music" to "audiobook" to shift to the audiobook section. Did not work. In "information"-> "options", the media type "music" shows in grey, cannot be changed. I am using the newest itunes version on a MAC.

    That's correct, you cannot change media type whilst match is turned on.
    Suggest that you delete audiobook from the cloud and library but do not move file to trash.
    Turn off match, readd track and change media type from music to audiobook.
    You can now turn match back on.

  • Lightroom shuts down when I try to change media type

    LR 4.3, OS 10 Lion, Epson R3000.  I go into print settings to set the media type and other settings and I can't make any changes.   The attached screenshot shows what I see, which is not the same as usual for this dialogue box.  A few times I clicked on the media type and LR shut down.  I haven't had this problem before.

    from what I read on the discussion boards there seems to be little or nothing to do that may not mess up the computer (Like jerky videos if Quicktime fix is tried) except wait for Apple to do a proper fix with updates at this point. I am not willing to try the fixes explained so far. The reviews of them are spotty on them working if at all. My I Tunes works on everything but the videos and that is better than nothing which did happen at first. So I will keep watching for any other fixes that might be promising or an Apple Update. 

  • Changing media types

    my video files will not allow me to change their type from movie to music video or tv show i have tried what the help suggested but to no end, if i do it individually it is greyed out so i cant even click on the media type section when i do it as a group it allows me to do it but it then doesn't change anything. its the same with all my videos if i even want to change to name it will let me then not do it on the screen.
    anyone know the reason its been like this for a good 6 months and i though it would be fixed with the new soft ware to no luck

    If it's greyed out, that usually means itunes doesn't think it has WIndows 7 permission to change it. Even if you are the only user on the PC and using an admin account, you might not have proper permissions. Just checking to see if a file or folder is read-only isn't enough.
    Here is what I'm talking about. Whether you can't change a file's info, or can't delete it - same thing.
    http://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-7/windows-7-how-to-delete-files-protected-by-tru stedinstaller/
    Give yourself full control and ownership of the top-level music folder, and all its subfolders. Which means you need to check off "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects".
    Some folks have even had to temporarily turn off UAC to edit items.

  • Can't change media type

    Any one know how to change the media type of a file? I went to "get info" like I used to but it is all gray and won't let me change it. I just got a new computer that runs windows 7 (I used to have an XP) but I don't think that should be the problem is it?

    Is all of your media like that, and is it grey for every single field?
    If so, I've noticed with Windows before that if Windows Account Control is on, then for some reason it won't let you change info of the media. Try turning Windows Account Control off in the Control Panel, and open iTunes again and try again.

  • Error changing data type to date in column containing blanks

    I am pulling data from an OLAP cube into PowerPivot. My data set contains several date columns wich are formatted as YYYY-MM-DD string values. After successfully importing the data, I am trying to set the data type of these columns to date.
    Apparently, when the column contains blank values, the conversion fails:
    The following system error occurred:  Type mismatch. Datatype conversion failed for [Table: 'SO fact table', Column: 'Shipping Date LastDateDate', Value: ''].
    When the column contains no blanks, the conversion succeeds.
    Would anyone have an idea for working around this issue ?
    Is there some MDX magic that I could use in my query in order to cast blank dates to something that PowerPivot would accept to convert, or to make the conversion to the date format right at the source ? 

    Hello,
    I did a quick test with data from Excel sheet formatted as text containing ISO date values with one blank value, in Power Pivot I then changed it to type "Date" and it works without an issue; so it must have an other reason:
    You can try to use the
    DAX function "DateValue" to convert the values

  • "podcast" media type in options won't work on MP3s in iTunes 11

    Why won't "podcast" MEDIA TYPE selection in OPTIONS work with mp3s anymore in iTunes 11? Trying to save some of my mp3s from a class as podcasts. I do this so I can run them at 1.5x speed and get through them faster. The option to change media type to PODCAST, when selected, doesn't stay selected. It keeps defaulting back to MUSIC. This just started with the new iTunes.

  • Error:The server cannot service the request because the media type is unsupported

    Hi Experts,
    I have configured one IDOC to web service synchronous scenario in SAP PI 7.31 using BPM. In the webservice response step of BPM we are getting the below error.
    The server cannot service the request because the media type is unsupported.
    Could you please assist?

    Send the same xml from SOAP UI to test the webservice. If you get the similar response, you should check with your service provider on what is the expected content/format.
    May be you might have to change the content type before sending the message to webservice.

  • How do i change the media type on a digital booklet when they option bar is greyed out?

    I downloaded an album a couple days ago which came with a digital booklet. I am trying to put it on my phone but need to change the media type to book to be able to do this. whenever I go to the get info tab, the options tab is completely greyed out and wont let me do anything to it. I have tried selecting read only on the file and it did not work. I have windows 8. If there's is any different way of getting this on my phone, anything would be great!

    The item must not be read only if you want to change it.
    In the new Get Info dialog the Media Kind is in a light grey. Next to that will be the word Music. Hover over it and you should see that it is part of a drop down list control, click and select Book.

  • Changing File Media Type To Podcast

    Hi,
    I am having issues with a podcast that I have to manually download.  In the past, I would download the file and add it to iTunes.  This would then have it show-up under the media library.  I would then go and change the media type to podcast; this would automatically move the file from the music library to the podcast library. 
    Since the update to iTunes, this no longer happens.  The file stays in the music portion of my library.
    Does anyone know how I can have the added podcasts properly show-up in the podcast section of the library?
    Thanks so much for the help,
    BJR

    Thanks for the reply Ivan.  11.0.1 allowed me to change the media trype, but it still would not move the file into the podcast library.  I tried to delete the files and then re-add them.  That seems to be the fix.
    It looks like it is working properly now.
    Thanks,
    BJR
