How can I add a Category to iTunes 11.1.3 Library?

Currently the library only shows the following categories; Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Books.
I want to add more catargoeis to this list so they will show in my AppleTV menu of selections when looking at this computer on my Flat Screen.  Currently anything I add to the library with an MP3 file type gets lumped into TV Shows.
It seems there ought to be a better way to organize your media!

You don't.  Home sharing does not work that way.
Home sharing is a way to share your library from one computer to other computers or devices on the network.
The sharing is meant for playback only. files cannot be copied over from one device to another, just played back over the network.
If you need to add music to a specific library, then you need to import it into iTunes on the computer that holds that library.
Phil0124 this is incorrect.
Home sharing will allow you to copy files from one library to another library on a separate Mac over the network.
Learn more about Home Sharing - Apple Support (2nd paragraph)
With Home Sharing, you can stream music and video from one authorized computer to another, or drag music between computer libraries.
rrivera_34, you need to import the CD onto one Mac & then you can drag into the other Mac's Library via Home sharing.

    I have new iphone and all data were restored but my music! How can I add my music from Itunes and new iphone?

    Connect the old phone to your computer, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your music in iTunes except any tracks that were not purchased from iTunes. If you have any such you will have to retrieve them from the original source, or see: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
    Apple also has this tip for copying data from an old phone to a new one.

    How can I add scanned cover art to itunes?

    I HAVE NO URL'S.  I HAVE THESE STATIONS IN MY BOOKMARKS BUT WANT TO CONCENTRATE THEM ALL IN ITUNES. THE GENIUSES HAVE NO ANSWER NOR DOES APPLE VIA TELEPHONE.
    When you have the stations in your bookmarks, you should be able to get the url. 
    Open the bookmark in Safari or your browser  the URL should be displayed in the URL field at the top of the Browser Window. Copy that URL and open the stream in iTunes:
    Choose File > Open Stream.
    Enter the full URL of the file you want to listen to.
    What exactly is the problem?

  • A friend mailed me a flash drive with music on it from his pc...  mostly wma files.  How can I add these to my itunes library?

    My friend created a BIG music file on his pc then saved it to a flash drive.  It is mostly wma files..  how can I add this to itunes library?

    Install Flip4Mac's WM Components (from their download page), required to play WMA in QuickTime, the Finder's preview column, and many other applications -- but not iTunes!
    Open your WMA file in QuickTime Player (Pro version required), then save as reference movie.
    Drag the newly created .mov file onto iTunes. Now you can play it as you would any other song.
    Some metadata is copied to the QuickTime file, and you can edit/add tags in iTunes. Remember to keep the original WMA files in place, as your reference .mov files still point to them. If you don't mind one more conversion step, you can then liberate your WMAs within iTunes. Select your WMA songs in iTunes, go to the Advanced Menu, click Convert selection to MP3/AAC, then enjoy your music on the iPod.

  • How can I add my own files to the TV Shows Library instead of the Movie Library?

    I have my own TV Shows in m4v format.  I can drag and drop the TV Shows into the iTunes Movie Library.  How can I add my files to the TV Shows Library?  Can I group them by show in the TV Shows Library?

    Select the files in iTunes.
    Right click - get info.
    Select the Options tab and set Media kind to TV Show.
    Better yet, use something like MetaZ to tag the files before adding them to iTunes.

  • HT1473 How can I add an album to itunes so it stays as an album?

    I have an album. On the album are 12 tracks.
    The album has already been ripped to my hard drive and lives in a single folder,.
    When I 'add folder' to itunes, it gives me a convert from WMA message (fine) and starts the transfer.  My album arrives in itunes, the first song arrives in the album, the correct album artwork appears, song 2 arrives all looks good until song 7 which has a 'featuring xxx' additional singer.  Instead of adding song 7 to the same album, a new album is created with JUST song 7.  Then song 8 arrives in the original album, and then song 11, who was a different vocalist becomes a third 'album' on its own.
    I obviously want the album to be one - containing all songs in the order I bought them!  How can I stop itunes doing really annoying things and making decisions I dont want it to make?
    I couldn't resisit trying a "Various Artists" album - you've already guessed it. 12 different 'albums' in itunes, all with the same title, all with the same artwork, all containing only one track!
    Can anyone help me make sense of this?

    Hi Trevornl,
    I have seen that myself and I have just the article for that - check out this link:
    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

    I can add a category in the budget tab and it will automatically be added to the pie chart summary and the bar graph actual vs. budget portion, but I can't seem to add an option in the categories column on the transactions tab. Anyone know how I can do that?

  • How Can You Add New MP3s to itunes without Duplicating Existing Songs

    Is there a way to get iTunes to search my music folder and only add song not already in my library? I rip all my music as MP3s with CDex so I can have some music at work (We're not allowed to install programs at work so I have to use Media Player there). I keep everything in a folder called music with folders for each artist and a separate folder for each of their albums. Sometimes I'll rip a bunch of CDs in one day that end up being scattered throughout my entire music folder. It's a royal pain in the behind to have to nagivate to each individual directory to add the songs to my iTunes library. I can not find any option for "find new songs", or more preferably to tell iTunes to search my main music directory and add new, AND ONLY NEW, songs to it's library. If click "File" then "Add folder to library" then pick my music folder iTunes proceeds to add all the new music I've added, but also adds another listing of every song already in the library. Why is this so difficult? Is it just me? Am I missing something simple here?

    I take that means I'd be able to move my stuff (since I've ripped them all) from computer to computer without worrying that one day it'll tell me I've used up my five computers?
    If I switch the setting and start letting iTunes to organize everything will it move the files from their current location into the iTunes music folder? Does iTunes put them on my hard drive in such a way that I'd be able to know which song is which if I "look" at my hard drive without using iTunes? I only ask this because if i try to find a song on my iPod they're all in mysterious folders with mysterious names and I have no way of telling which song is which if the computer I plug it into doesn't have iTunes. Oh, one last question. How does the 5 computer thing work? If my girlfriend plugs her iPod into my computer does that count? for example if she has her iPod authorized on her home computer, her work computer, and her laptop, does this mean she can only authorize it two more times?

  • How can I add music from my Itunes to a slideshow?

    I am having trouble adding music to a slideshow I created. When I click on the "add audio" it takes me to a screen where I can open my itunes but then it says the folder is empty.  Does it not recognize the itunes format?

      It’s always been a bit hit & miss. Often you need to remove Album Art in iTunes, from the music file.
