Grouping TV Show Seasons in Grid View

Is there a way to group all seasons of a TV show together in Grid View? Instead of seeing three icons for "Arrested Development Season 1", "Arrested Development Season 2", and "Arrested Development Season 3" (for example) I just want to see one icon for "Arrested Development". Is that possible (without removing the season information from the metadata)?

You have to remove the *Season No.* values to merge the seasons into one icon. Use an *Episode ID* pattern such as s##e## to organise the episodes in the correct order.

All episodes don't show up in Grid view

I've got 20 seasons of Top Gear all converted and waiting to be added to iTunes. They exist on my external HD, so when I drag them in to iTunes I hold in Alt/Option, so they stay there.
If I drag in the folders for seasons 1 through 13, all episodes show up, and if I select the show in iTunes I see "tabs/buttons" for Season 1, Season 2, etc etc. Pic here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2213114/2013-08-23_18-05-00.jpg
However if I drag season 1 through 14 (or more), only season 1 shows up in iTunes grid view. However all episodes/season show up in List view, and all are available on my Apple TV.
If I drag just, say, season 14 through 20, they add fine. But if I then add 1 through 13, again only 1 season shows in Grid view.
In all cases the correct number of "New" episodes shows on the blue banner on the cover (i.e "99+").
Top Gear generally has about 6 to 10 episodes per season.
I have exactly the same problem with The Simpsons.
All my other shows added fine. Just The Simpsons and Top Gear had issues. I doubt it's a co-incidence those are the only 2 shows I have with hundreds of episodes and 20+ seasons each. It's almost as if iTunes has some kind of limit…

Your website has a link to a feed at
http://feeds2.feedburner.com/CrossCultureCalvaryChapelPodcast?format=xml
This feed contains the itunes:new-feed-url tag, forwarding to a feed at
http://calvarychapel.nl/index.php?option=comsermonspeaker&task=podcast&feed=RSS2.0&nohtml=1
This latter feed is what is being used when you click on the 'subscribe' button in the iTunes Store, and the result matches the feed. (The list you have under 'Podcasts' in your own iTunes application probably includes earlier episodes: removing them from the feed doesn't remove them once downloaded, but the removed episodes don't show for new subscribers).
However, the iTunes Store page lists 114 episodes, the last being 28-3-09, thus not showing later additions, and shows earlier episodes present in neither feed. Therefore the page has the correct feed link for subscribers but itself has not updated since March - since when you have changed the URL and deleted earlier episodes. Why this should be I can't say: there is usually a delay before changes show, but only a day or two. It's peculiar that it should have failed to update the Store page but has the correct link on the 'Subscribe' button, and I can only suggest you try contacting Support:

Is there any way to get keywords to show up in grid view?

Being able to see the keywords assigned to each photo in grid view would be incredibly helpful to me for managing my photos and videos as I add new keywords. Just seeing the "this photo has keywords" tag does not help. I need to see the actual keywords, without having to click on each individual photo to see them.

There is no way at present. It was conidered a long time back, but trying to show kywords on a postage stamp wasn't deemed good use of engineering time. An alterntive similar to the Bridge Metadata layout (configurable table view) has been suggested a few times, but I've not seen anything to indicate that it got much traction.

Select multiple groups of contiguous images in Grid view

In Windows, the following conventions should be followed when selecting images in the Library module or Filmstrip.
1. select an image by left mouse click
2. extend the contiguous selection by Shift+left mouse click on the last image in group
3. add to the selection by Ctrl+left mouse click on an image
4. add another contiguous selection by Shift+Ctrl+left mouse click on the last image in group.
In LR V1 on Windows XP Pro, only 1,2, and 3 work; but adding a second contiguous selection (point 4) does not work and behaves like point 3. More images can only be added to a selection by Ctrl+left mouse clicking each individual image (which quickly gets tiresome.)
Note that these conventions work in both Bridge CS2 and beta CS3.

Second that!
Shift+Page Down to select next page down as well Ctl+Shift+End to select everything to the end of the grid would also be useful

What happen when the image of your photographs doesn't show in the grid view

not able to view image from lightroom

Sounds like a corrupted monitor profile - gives this a shot http://members.lightroomqueen.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1137/188/how-do-i- change-my-monitor-profile-to-check-whether-its-corrupted

Published virtual copies show up in Grid View of Collection

I'm a bit frustrated at something that has only recently begun happening to me. I am using Lightroom 3. I'll have a collection that I will publish to flickr. when I do, I later look at the collection and it'll not only show my photos, but also a virtual copy that is published to flickr. I don't want that. It's not necessary to see and I didn't have to see them before. If I want to see what is published, I can go to the published collection and look. On my local collection, I don't want to see virtual copies unless they were virtual copies that I purposely made for some reason. I don't want Lighroom to be automatically creating a duplicate of every image that I publish to flickr.

The screenshot was very helpful. The problem is with the Custom 05 custom metadata field. Which plugin defined that?
It appears that smart collections don't properly search the custom metadata fields of virtual copies. I filed a bug report in the official Adobe feedback forum: Lightroom: Smart collections don't correctly search custom metadata fields.
You could work around this by using a filter preset in the Library Filter bar. Perhaps not as convenient, but it would get the job done.

How do I show and/or update image info in the Grid view?

Somehow, all the info that was showing in my grid view, in Lightroom 5.6, disappeared. How do I view info for each grid image, on the grid and how do I update or change what info is viewable?

Ctrl/Cmd-J

Lightroom 5.3 does not show image info tooltips in grid view expanded cells

In my copy of Lightroom 5.3, image info tooltips do not show in the grid view expanded cells even though that option is activated in view options. Is this an issue with Lightroom 5.3? (Note: Image info tooltips in grid view compact cells and the filmstrip do display, however.)

I don't think it ever has. I've just checked back through all versions from Lightroom 2, and don't get the same information in Expanded Cell view as I do in Compact Cell view.
So not a specific issue with LR5.3, more likely either it's "as designed" or one of those very long-standing bugs that haven't been fixed.

Why are keywords not being shown in the Browser Grid View

Hi,
All the tutorials and manuals seem to have screenshots showing the browser grid view images with keywords at the bottom of the image. Now matter what i try i cannot get them to show up. Here are some of the things I've tried/observed.
- in the split view and viewer views the keywords show up as expected
- used the "browser metadata overlays" option (bottom right) to switch the browser between "show metadata" and "switch to basic view"
- used the "browser metadata overlays" edit option to confirm that both basic and standard overlays/views are configured to show keywords (ie. keyword is in the list on the right)
- i can see labels (red, green etc) in the browser grid view
- quit, deleted all my library preferences, restarted aperture
Are you seeing keywords in the browser view? Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
Also note I imported my library from iPhoto.
Cheers
Oliver

Hi i dont have primary checked heres what ive done
Hi thank youve tried editing all the basic and extended metadata options and so far i have managed to get the key words to show up on one photo at a time with a colour label.
To do this i have to go to the metadata tab on the left add a custom field to the general tab called it keywords to keep things simple lol.
This is the only way of getting my keyword to appear below the photo
However when i try and tag all the photos in the project with the same keyword and label it only tags the last one in the project ive held down cmd /option /ctrl nothing / some of these just tag one random picture with the metadata
i thank you guys in advance for your help

Hello,
It's not clear what the issue is, you could be more specific by sharing some screenshots and code.
In addition, it will be more clear if you could separate the description into multiple sentences.
Which control did you want to get help about? The checkbox or datagridview?
If it is checkbox, did you want to keep checked or keep it uncheck?
If it is datagridview, whether you are talking about checkbox column?

Carl

Why is iTunes 7.6 no longer grouping TV shows by season / show?

I'm running iTunes 7.6 and have noticed that for the first time ever, purchased shows all within one season are now not grouped together.
This happens in "Cover Flow" view and in "Grouped with Artwork" view.
Some shows are unaffected. Others seem to be mainly stricken with the fact that iTunes is now thinking that the pilot episodes of some seasons are separate from the rest of the episodes within that season.

I had the same problem with a few shows, but was able to get around it. I selected the shows that should have been grouped together and hit Apple-I to bring up the Get Info window. In there, I put a checkmark in every field that would be universal for each show (artist, album artist, album, etc) and re-added the artwork for them.
Once that was done, they regrouped. Unfortunately, I need them grouped by show alone, now show and season. I have not found a way to group multiple seasons together.

Grouping TV Shows - ie TV Show Name Seasons Episodes

I am seeing in Apple TV under TV Shows:-
Stargate SG-1 - Season 1
Stargate SG-1 - Season 2
etc
The West Wing - Season 1
The West Wing - Season 2
etc
Is there anyway to get the TV Show to pull all the Seasons together and just show the TV Show, then the Seasons, then the episodes?
The way I am seeing it now with several TBs of TV shows this is going to be a very long scrolling list.
Any ideas? Can I group them somehow by changing an attribute in the meta data?
Thanks
Background just in case relevant
Just got a new Apple TV 2 - it connecting nicely to all the Macs in the house.
I am converting all my video and putting it into iTunes (10.0.1) using iFlicks (a tad flakey) and Elgato Turbo HD H.264 usb co-processor.
All going well, quicker if iFlicks were more stable and stop stalling without any indication it had done so.

For my test I had "Friends" and when I did the multiple item dialog and put a "1" in the season field it displays the season on the first level. So when I view by shows it has "Friends" with Season 1 in smaller font underneath. I just saw that and wanted to add it to my post
This is the way most people view their TV shows list. However, the original poster asked how to merge the various seasons for a single show together under a single TV show name--just the opposite of what you are doing (i.e., dividing the show by season). In my explanation, you select all episodes in all seasons for a single TV show, open the multi-file Info window and remove all of the season numbers in a single action. Thereafter, all episodes for that TV Show will then display under a single TV show name and, if the episode #s are correct, will be listed in their episode by season order but not place a "header" between seasons as is done on the TV1 menu when season IDs are included.
For me, it is six of one and a half dozen of the other. For instance, the original Doctor Who TV series has 26 seasons which would make 26 Doctor Who TV show entries in the TV show list making it easier to access individual episodes for each season. On the other hand, grouping all 26 seasons under a single TV show name makes it easier to select an individual TV show but makes it more difficult to access a single episode in the "season by episode" list which now contains over 500 individual episodes. Thus, each user must decide for himself/herself which work flow is more suited to their individual needs. My only reason for posting was to point out that both options are available for TV show lists and answers the OP's question.

Grid view of books doesn't show everything - thus selective sync impossible

I have recently added a bunch of audio books to iTunes. However, only about half of them showed up in the grid view. Only after checking out the list view did I see that the books were actually in iTunes and just weren't shown.
This wouldn't be so bad if the selective synchronisation of books wasn't based on said grid view, with no possibility to change said view. Therefore, I have the choice between syncing all audio books, for which I do not have the space on my iPod, ignoring the ones the grid view doesn't show or deleting the ones I don't want synchronised and sync all others.
So, what do?

At a guess your "missing" books are simply organised as Music instead of Books - here's how to fix things...
Audiobooks
With iTunes 8.x or later you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that now make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. The main issue is that the iPod lists all audiobook files by track title/chapter name so unless you rename every track using a scheme such as *Book Title, Chapter XX* the tracks will play out of sequence. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook. Although I still mark the files as Audiobooks to keep them out of my main music section when it comes to the iPod I ignore it's Audiobooks feature and use my own playlists for access.
Note that I've used leading digits in the playlist names to arrange these in chronological rather than alphabetical order.

N.b. If you're having trouble organising audiobooks within iTunes see my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One cover for multi-disc album.

File name not showing in grid view

I just upgraded to LR 5.4 and I noticed that now when I am in grid view, only the capture date and dimensions show on the image when I run my cursor over it. I used to get a quick pop-up with the file name, capture date & dimensions, so I can quickly see where I am in my numbering system. I have looked at the preferences and also in view, but it is not apparent to me where it went, plus I know I didn't change anything, intentionally.
BTW, I also upgraded to Mavericks OS on my iMac, but I hope that is not what is wrong. I know Adobe put out a bunch of "patches" for Bridge, etc. but I have already downloaded and updated all that.

When you are in Library module/Grid mode, the text that appears in the hovering action is controlled by the Info Overlay. The Info Overlay has three states: Off, Info 1 and Info 2.
Go to View>Loupe Overlay and put a check mark next to the Overlay you wish to be active and your hovering enabled text will change to match that text.

List View shows all tracks of CD, grid view is missing tracks

I imported all my CDs into my iTunes library over the holidays. Over 40 GB of music. Now, I discover a flakey problem. On a CD, if I view via list view, the library shows 13 tracks. When switching to grid view and double-clicking on album, it shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12
When I use windows explorer, the iTunes folder only shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12. Yet I can play all 13 tracks on PC and iPod. Where are the 'missing' tracks being stored and why don't they show in both views? This is happening on quite a lot of the CDs that were imported, but others are fine.

This is most likely due to the content of the ID3 tags in the imported files. If a track features more than one artist, iTunes uses the first artist in the list to sort and organise the files. So one or more files imported from a CD might be stored in another artist's folder. iTunes plays the full album because it knows where all the tracks are (by virtue of the iTunes library database).
To get around this problem, edit the information for all the tracks on an album so the the "Artist" tag has the main artist first in the list.
