Grouping TV Shows problem

My TV shows are not being grouped and put in folders even though I have the oganize media box checked. I also tried doing it manually and filling all the feilds but they still are all over the place as single entities. eg: TV show 1 season 1 ep 1 -16 do not show up in the same folder or group in iTune. so i wind up with a list a mile long in iTunes for individual episodes.
This is happening with TV i have not purchased through iTunes. They all play fine in iTunes and Apple TV but are just all over the place.
Hope that made sense
Any ideas?
Latest OS 10.6.6 Latest iTunes version.

Well this is weird... I've spent plenty of time on these forums explaining how to link things together - see http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp - but I didn't think it would be this hard to split things up if you wanted to. I've been trying to make some episodes from two different seasons of a TV Show appear as two separate entries in the iPhone's Video menu but they insist on linking up under the one cover. In iTunes they appear as distinct shows, *<Show> 1* and *<Show> 2* yet once on the iPhone they get all linked up under *<Show> 1*. I've tried various combinations of setting & clearing season numbers, using distinct show names and album titles yet I can't break them up, let alone get the Show > Season > Episode breakdown that you are after. I'm assuming that the iPhone cuts off the show name when it hits a number so I'm just testing *<Show> First Season* & *<Show> Second Season* to see if that works.

Nope that doesn't work either...

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.

Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates.

Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates...so I know what not to install.
Plenty of sites list and summarize individual patches, I want one that consolidates problems and complaints so I can better assess the risk. Currently I'm waiting to install patches several days and doing google searches. That works, but I'd rather find a place
that does it with expertise.
Which forums would be best to look for such problems.
Thanks in and advance for suggestions

Hi,
I agreed with Cyber and Rick.
Windows update helps to keep your PC safer—and your software current—by fetching the latest security and feature updates from Microsoft via the Internet.
Although there might be some problems when installing it, Windows update is not the one to blame.
For troubleshooting Windows updates, if needed:

Contact Groups not showing up on Iphone when syncing with Mobileme

My contacts show up in my address book on my Iphone but when I go to look at my groups the page is blank and I cannot get back to my contacts without closing and reopening contacts but still no groups. I want my groups to show up. I have at least 4 groups that show up on my me, and syncs fine with ipad....
I THINK THIS IS A ISSUE with the new verizon iphone.
Please help if anyone has

I am having a similar issue. As is my wife. I also believe that it is a bug in the current iOS on the CDMA iPhone 4.
It is just as you described, and I have to close Contacts completely in order to restore my access to the contacts list. And, like you, our groups show up just fine on our iPads (within minutes of making changes, as we sync over MobileMe).
It doesn't appear to be a letter-case issue, as at least my login is in all lowercase letters.
I sure hope that this is fixed in an iOS update soon! It's rather problematic for those of use who use their iPhones for business purposes.

How can I group TV shows together??

Hey guys,
I've got a bit of an annoyance. Is there any way I can group my TV shows together, by show.
So heres how I've got it now:
http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/6848/itunestz.png
I want to have it so they aren't grouped by season, they are grouped by show. I'm envisioning sort of a "folder" which is named Doctor Who (for example), then you go into that and it shows you the seasons.
Anyone have any ideas for this?
Thanks!!

Yep... best I can offer. Drop a line to iTunes Feedback to tell them how you'd like it to work.

HT1766 The screen shows problems with iCloud only choices are ignore or settings, however nothing I do will unlock it from this screen, cannot power off keeps that bubble on the screen. What do I do?

The screen shows problems with iCloud only choices are ignore or settings, however nothing I do will unlock it from this screen, cannot power off keeps that bubble on the screen. What do I do?

Try this now.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Grouping TV shows together

Grouping TV shows together
OK I've ripped my lost DVD to my apple TV now how do I get all episodes to appear in one folder or heading?

Your 'movies' will probably appear under movies even though they're TV Shows.
If the filenames are similar hopefully they'll be next to each other.
Right click on the first and choose Get Info.
In the Info tab enter the name to appear on screen.
Next click the Video Tab, and edit to TV Show from the dropdown, add Show name, and I tend to add season, and episode number/IDs though I'm not convinced it helps sorting on AppleTV. Clcik ok to update or Next if the files lie adjacent to each other so the next one is the next episode. Once you've done ok they'll move to TV Shows category and will appear under the Show name. I tend to label the episode names with a number myself, eg 01 - Intro, 02 - The Next Installment, 03 - Middle, 04 - Penultimate, 05 - The Finale.

Material statistics group not showing text in report

Hi friends,
Initially i was having problem with # values for blank values in info provider,the issue is resolved by getting unassigned in place of #.Now the user wants description for all the material statistics group in the report.Like 1-do not use.2- do not use.I have activated the master data texts for the info object and also tried by using both key and text.How can i get the text values for the info object.??
Regards,
ali.

Hi friends,
now i can get the desired text and description for material statistics group. now the problem lies down here. 0mat_stgrp is an attribute of 0material. In rsa3 both in ecc as well as in bi we can see data properly for this field but in report the values are not matching. there are no conditions in report. what would be the reason for that.
waiting for the reply.\

Contact Groups are showing as "null"

On my iPhone5 and iPad some of my Contact Groups are showing as "null". This is new. It didn't start until yesterday. iCloud.com does not reflect this. Everythings seems to be okay there. What can I do to change this?

I have this same issue. Whenever I create a group via the iCloud web interface, it shows up named "null" on my iPhone and iPad.
I found a workaround, but it only applies to people who:
- Are using a Windows PC
- Have MS Outlook installed
- Have iCloud control panel installed
- Have iCloud control panel configured to sync contacts with Outlook
In Outlook, open Contacts, then from the ribbon choose "iCloud, Create New Group".
At least for me, this works... Once created in Outlook, the group quickly syncs and shows up with the correct name on the iCloud web interface, iphone, and ipad. After that, I can manage membership of the group either through the iCloud web interface or Outlook, and everything works as it should.

Hi, Ralph.
Actually, the kbase doc on the camera kit does also say:
You may also be able to use some USB audio/MIDI devices with the iPad Camera Connector. To find out if a USB audio/MIDI device is compatible, contact the device manufacturer.
And a lot of supported devices are not working now, by all accounts, including many that were being pushed in the apple gift guide for the online store earlier this week (it's been replaced for today by the black friday page).

EDIT BTW, guys, there's a typo in your feedback links: should be

not "…ipad/html".

Hi, KK93.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router and Mac can resolve the issue. However, try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot the Wi-Fi issue with your MacBook.

Urgent to group and show the folder metadata base on profile in UCM

Hi All,
My requirement is I have to group and show the folder metadata for folder creation, updating and information based on profile.
Suppose If I want to create, update and information a HR folder that time I have to show only HR metadata
If I want to create, update and information a FINANCE folder that time I have to show only FINANCE metadata
If I want to create, update and information a standard folder that time I have to show only standard metadata
Example
Someone accessing a ‘standard’ folder would not see the HR group of metadata fields; instead they should just see the ‘standard’ profile metadata fields for said folder. Conversely, when someone is accessing a ‘HR’ folder, they should see the ‘HR document’ metadata profile for that folder.
Please help me is there any way which can I approach this by through configuration.
Thanks in advace
Kishore.

I checked the standard behaviour. When I create few profiles I am able to choose the profile I want while creating a new folder (there is an option Switch Profile).
Therefore, the only thing that remains is auto-select the profile you want to use. Note that profiles by default are selected by the Trigger Field (configured in Configuration Manager). This means you need to combine requirements you have for your folders and for your content items. This can be quite challenging. However, you can also 'Use rule activation condition', which is assigned to rules contained in the profile. There, you can work with any metadata and other system variables (like checkin vs. search defined in dpAction - see this link for further details: Value of dpAction
In your case, you could use folder name, or create a surrogate metadata field containing list of values and use it.

When I send email to a group, it shows all members addresses even though that option is turned off in the preferences.

That doesn't work on Mavericks. Follow Tuttle's advice.

Email to group without showing addresses

How do I send an email to a group without showing all the email addresses?

You need to use BCC.
If you don't know where the BCC field is, it would help to know the name of your e-mail client.
