Grouping movies together (ie. all sequels etc.)?

Hi.
I never owned a gen1 AppleTV, but I'd read you could group similar films together by setting the 'Show' tag in iTunes. Eg. All Harry Potter films would have Show 'Harry Potter', and a folder would appear. http://www.pcworld.com/article/156294/groupmovies_into_folders_on_appletv.html is the kind of thing I'm referring to.
I've tried this in the latest iTunes, then looked on the AppleTV gen 2: doesn't seem to take effect, all films still show as single entries in the main list.
Is there any way of getting films to group?
Cheers,
Ian

Is there any way of getting films to group?
You can get then to "group" in the main list by using a "Sort" descriptor. You can get then to "group" alone at a secondary level by placing them in "Playlists" and viewing in the lists of Playlists. (E.g., "Star Wars", "Jason Bourne", "Harry Potter", "James Bond", "Charlie Chan", "Mr. Moto", "Mr. Wong", "Sherlock Holmes", "Resident Evil", etc. could all be playlists and the "Movies" playlist could become a list of all movies not already in other playlists.)

  • Group movies together in iTunes 12

    How can I group my movies together in iTunes 12.1 on v10.10.2 so they are grouped, for example all the Star Wars together, rather than separate. I've got them all tagged with artwork etc, but want to group them
    thanks

    You can’t group them.
    You can make the names similar and sort on Name and they will be displayed one after the other.
    Star Wars 1 - The Phantom Menace
    Star Wars 2 - Attack of the Clones
    Star Wars 3 - Revenge of the Sith
    Star Wars 4 - Star Wars
    Star Wars 5 - Empire Strikes Back
    Star Wars 6 - Return of the Jedi

  • Can i group movies together as a box set

    I am importing my movies to iTunes on my Mac.
    I havve managed to import the artwork and save them as movies etc and am pretty pleased so far.
    I am not importing a box set, is there any way that i can display them as a box set rather than individual movies?

    Hi,
    Unfortunately you cannot have states for grouped items. You will have to define it manually. But I will leave the thread open for more suggestions what you are trying to achieve

  • I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like excel, word etc. 13"

    I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like  microsoft office products ...excel, word etc.  I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
    13-inch: 2.6GHz
    with Retina display
    Specifications
    2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
    Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
    8GB 1600MHz memory
    512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
    Intel Iris Graphics
    Built-in battery (9 hours)2

    That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
    Good luck in making your decision!!

  • How do you group icons together

    Brand new to Mac systems.  Can someone tell me if it's possible to group icons together.  Ex: put all games in 1 folder. Thanks.

    Touch and hold one of the apps and they should start shaking. Then drag one of them over the top of another and a folder should get created with those two apps in. You can then drag more apps over and into it, or create more folders in the same way (but you can't create folders within folders); press the home button when you've finished so as to stop the shaking. Some people find it easier to do when connected to iTunes using the device's apps tab it's easier to move things around via your computer, and changes don't get committed until you sync them onto the iPad.
    There is more info in the manual (chapter 3) which can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/iPad.

  • How can I group movie chapters in iTunes?

    I have finally finished ripping a few DVDs using the Magic DVD Ripper but it only does each chapter individually and saves each chapter as a new file. I am now trying to put them in iTunes and I can't figure out a way to group all these chapters together into one folder or one movie. Is there anything I can do either using iTunes itself or some free software that allows me to group the chapters together?

    I'm pretty sure Windows Movie Maker can link all the movies together. Never used it before personally so I can't gurantee.

  • How to make a circle and a line ending (at the centre of the circle) lock and move together?

    I'm new to Illustrator and perhaps it's not the best software of CS6 Master for doing this, but:
    I have a few (13) circles, they are connected with lines (one line from the centre of a circle to the centre of the next one, so 13 connecting lines). I need to move the circles around in order to create the appearance that suits me best, but I want the connecting ending to move together (see picture below). I need to do this often and get an immediate visual feedback. How do I do it? Am I using the wrong software altogether?
    Thanks in advance to all who will try and help out!

    Here's a way of doing it with the Appearance panel and multiple fills converted to an ellipse.
    1 You create your path with all the segmentts you require can be an open or closed path.
    2. Convert the fill only to an Ellipse. Effect>Convert to Shape>Ellipse (use the Absolute option and give it the dimension you want the circle to be) (cn cahnge this at anytime in the future as well as the color of the circles)
    3. Using the Effect>Distort and Transform>Transform move the circle fill to a position corresponding to an anchor of the path as to position the circle with the nchor as the center.
    4. In the Appearance panel Option (Alt) drag the fill with the convert to ellipse and the transform down or up to duplicate it, or se the flyout of the Appearance panel to duplicte the fill.
    (do this for each circle you need) You will only have to adjust the transformation vertical and horizontal positions, Bith effects will be duplicated when you copy the fill so you only adjust the transformeffecct that is already associated with the fill.

  • How do I change the image selected for the finalized movies pane in all events?

    How do I change the image selected for the finalized movies pane in all events? I made a movie some time ago in iMovie, and a still from this now appears as the image for Finalized Movies in the All Events pane (as well as showing up if I then click on this pane to take me to Finalized Movies). Anyone know how to change or delete this image, please?

    Unfortunately, the suggested solution in that thread does not work and the thread appears to be closed to replies.  That is, even though I am logged in the Reply|Quote|Mark as answer|Report as abuse items are missing.
    The suggested solution is:
    First, I found I had "img100.png" in  C:\Windows\Web\Screen  and
    C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-themeui-client_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.16384_none_69ee3fa2269e545e
    1. Belonging to the Administrators Group, I replaced file Owner TrustedInstaller with my Username on both "img100.png" files
    2. After resizing the image I wanted to see on the Login screen to the resolution of "img100.png" file,
    I copied and pasted it to both "img100.png" files keeping this way the format (extension) and resolution of the original "img100.png" file,
    which I permanently deleted.
    However, I have not been able to replace the img100.pgn in C:\Windows\Web\Screen even after taking ownership of it and setting the permissions for my userid to All.  I edit it with mspaint and then try to save it. The save starts that then says the
    save was interrupted.
    The appears to be some additional protection besides the standard acls.

  • Group photos together

    Hi,
    I am making a movie made up of A LOT of still images, much like a stop motion animation. I am wondering if it is possible to group photos together once I have them how I want them so I can move them around like a single video clip.
    Or will I have to export it as a small video clip and import it again to do this?
    I'm using FCP 5.1 by the way
    Thanks in advance

    As reink says, exporting is the best way. Unless you have filmed these yourself as a stop motion animation as continuous jpeg file numbers, in which case you can import them into motion as an image sequence, resize the whole clip (not individual frames) and export as a video file from there.
    cheers
    Andy

  • Two questions:  how do Skype and iChat compare for group video?  quality, reliability, cost, etc are important.  2) Is my MobileMe ID what I need to use in the window in making an iChat buddy?  It only says AIM above the window, online tutorial differs.

Thnx

    Hi,
    IChat uses better Video Compression than Skype does.
    On a top flight Mac you can send a 640 X 480 pixel frame up to 30 frames a sec.
    Skype can't match this.
    iChat in Video is Peer to Peer. (you can actually Log out of the Buddy list)
    Skype seems to borrow something from everyone's bandwidth to make connections.
    What do you mean by Business account Tracking ?
    iChat Adds (or can add) the First Name, Last Name of your Buddies and create an Address Book Entry
    Whether you mark those cards connected with a  company is up to you.
    (I have heard of issues with earlier version of iChat and the Address Book that "saw" the Company Name as the part of the Name and linking several Screen Names to the one name
    Audio on a Mac using Skype tend to be the same as the streaming needs are less.
    However you have to rely on any PCs audio abilities from PCs which may not be to the same standard.
    Mac to PCs in iChat and AIM can be difficult though.  (It should work but it rarely as simple as Plug and go)
    Skype may suit your needs better on ocassions.

  • How to "group" movies

    Hi, in the past I used to "group" movies with a specific item on iTunes (Program name), doing so watching with my Apple TV 1G they were rendered as "grouped" on the list, let me to explain: suppose to have three movies of "Toy Story" (1, 2 and 3), using that field in iTunes with the name " Toy Story" on Apple TV 1G I had a single movie title " Toy Story" with a > and clicking on it I can select one of the three movies.
    This was very useful to limit the large number of movies into a specific genre...anyway this don't work anymore on my Apple TV 2G that took the place onto my previous one (1G).
    I don't know if the problem is about 2G or to iTunes version so I'm asking here hoping to have a reply.
    Anyone could make a test and let me know if I have to change something ?
    Thanks, best regards.
    Roberto.

    Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it, yes it's very frustrating and represents one of a handful of features the Apple TV 1 had that the 2 doesn't. Not that it's important but it's not just limited to the Apple TV, all iOS devices are afflicted by this. Whether or not it can be achieved under iOS I don't know.

  • How to group move icons

    just updated to 4.1
    icons are now located on 5th and 6th screens, want to group move them, possibly back to now (nearly) blank 2nd screen.
    Is there a way to do this ?

    It's very simple to create a folder, move it to a new screen, then drag the apps out of it. You're right, it's a little kludgy, but it's all there is for now.
    Hint 2: Also, if your 2nd screen is nearly empty, just drag the icons off of it. When you press the Home button, the empty screen will disappear.
    Hint 3: You may find it easier to move lots of icons around in iTunes than directly on the iPhone. You can then sync the new arrangement.

    Close out of the mail app, double click the home button and completely close out of the mail app.
    Then do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    then check your mail again.

  • PSE 4 Docking and Grouping Palettes together

    I'm looking in my manual (page 38)about how to group palettes together and how to dock them together. This whole section seems to be written by someone who hasn't ever really used PSE4.
    What is the difference between grouping palettes together and docking palettes together? And how the heck to I do it?
    What I want is to have my little palettes with there tabs right next to each other kind of like a filing system so when I click on a tab that is the palette that shows up on top. No need for all the expanding and contracting. That's pretty much how it looked in PSE 2.0.

    First of all, drag your palettes out of the bin. Then click the arrow at the upper right of each one and uncheck "close to palette bin.." Then drag the
    tab of one palette onto the tab of another one, the same way you can do in PE2. They should combine into one multi-tabbed palette.
