How can I change the Genre of multiple movies at one time?

I have a ton of movies on my server as I have a Macbook Air with very little HD space. I want to change the Genre for them but would rather not do it one ata a time. Any Ideas? Is it possible to do multiples?

ITunes 11 - how can I change the genre of a movie now?

So I've had iTunes 11 for about 3 hours now and so far it *****. One of my main problems is I can't find how I can change the genre of a movie anymore. I used to do this from Get Info so I could organise all my movies in to my own genres that make sense to me which helps me find what I want to watch when using Apple TV.
It will still let me do that for movies I bought before I "upgraded" to 11 but for the movies I bought this evening, after upgrading, the genre drop down is locked down.
Am I just looking in the wrong place? Or have Apple somehow got the idea that pointlessly preventing your customers from organising their content in their own way is somehow an improvement and I'm stuck with their nonsensical genre classifications?
Same thing goes for movie titles now I think of it - I've edited movie titles after purchase (e.g. I've put HP1 in front of the title of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and HP2 in front of Chamber of Secrets) so that series list in watching order, rather than alphabetical order, on my Apple TV. It's not letting me do that from Get Info either
Please someone tell me I'm just doing it wrong - I don't think I've the patience to jump through the hoops necessary to get 10.7 back!

I had the same bug in songs. It was directly related to tracks purchased in the iTunes store, they wouldn't allow any changes, it was all grayed out.
Here's how I got around it. When I selected more than one item and any other item was not from the iTunes store it would allow me to Get Info and change everything with no problems.
My suggestion is that if you need to, add in a movie from your hard drive (anything at all, it will be a dummy placeholder) that you can you use to select along with the one you need to change. Use command click to select non-contiguous files (even works in different genres), then get info (or command i) and then change your info. You can keep using the same dummy file for as long as you need to to fix the files with incorrect info, then delete it when done.

When using just Apple TV, how can I change the Genre of a movie?

It's using iCloud and some of the movie genre's make no sense. For example, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark is listed as Horror, but Elvira's Haunted Hills is showing as Comedy.
I do realize that Elvira Movies are generally listed as Comedy/Horror on IMDB, and that's fine. However I'd prefer to have these movies listed together properly when looking at movies by Genre.
Additionally, The Lost Boys is listed as a Comedy where as it really should be a horror film. It's humor is secondary after all.
Is there a way for me to change, individually, my movies genre? I don't care if it affects anyone else or not, it just doesn't help me to have them so disjointed. This is only using Apple TV and the movies that stream directly from iTunes central database, not anything located on my personal devices (I can change those just fine locally and they will show up correctly if I just look at it via a computer connection.

How can I change the length of multiple lines at the same time?

This just seems like it should be a no-brainer, but obviously for me it isn't. I'm trying to change the length of multiple lines, that are at different angles, at the same time, in CS4. Basically, I design the face of dials used for airplane instrument gauges (like RPM, Torque, etc), and they have gradiation marks (lines) located all around, similar what a clock looks like with the hour and minute gradiation marks (lines). Is there a way to select all the lines, that I know are the same length, and change it to a different length, that's accurate to the 1/100th of an inch? It would just be like selecting multiple lines that have all the same stroke, then using the stroke box to change the stroke weight from .025in to .030in.
I've used the transform box to change the 'height' of a line before, but the line has to be at 90 degrees (straight up and down), and that won't work for the lines that are at, say, a 45 degree angle.
I hope i'm explaining this in a way that someone will understand. If not, I can sure try to clarify more, or insert the picture so you could see what i'm talking about.
Thanks for any help you can give!

OK, after fiddling around with everyone's ideas, I think I finally got it. I knew there had to be something with proportions between W and H, but couldn't figure out the math, until Jacob answered with:
"If each line must be strecthed from the inner/outer end, you may select each and use the Transform palette, choosing the right Reference Point, multiplying by the proportion in W or H (1.75/1.5), and Ctrl/Cmd clicking."
Now, I basically did everything above, (but I couldn't figure out what you were talking about with the Ctrl Clicking thing), except after figuring out the right proportion (which ends up being so small you guys would die if I told you the number; the numbers I gave earlier were just an example and much larger than what i'm really working with) I just clicked the little chain next to the W and H boxes to constrain the proportions. I then put the new number (multiplied proportion by whatever was in W) in the W box. The line lengthened perfectly toward the center of the dial, keeping the correct angle!
And Harron-Thanks for the link to Teri's, It is going to help with some things I do, but most of the dials I design don't have equal distances between each gradiation mark, and the blueprints I work off of usually have exactly what distances that the grad. marks are supposed to be. So, after selecting one of my grad marks that is already at it's correct place, I then use the rotate tool and Alt-Clicking the very center of the dial, I can then put in exactly what distance I want the next grad. mark to be at, I hit copy (instead of OK) and there will be a new grad. mark exactly the correct distance from my original. Then if I want to have the 3rd grad. mark I just hit Ctrl-D and it will copy another mark to the next position. I don't know if you necessarily wanted to know all that, but i thought i'd explain why I like doing it that way.
A BIG thanks to everyone! I'm really a AI newbie and am the only one at my company that knows how to use it, so I don't have anyone close to ask stupid questions to. So I appreciate all your help!

How can I change the font to multiple titles at the same time?

Hey guys, quick question. I have a bunch of titles and lower thirds in my project and my producer decided that he didn't like the font we were previously using and wants to change it to a new one. He seems to do that pretty often. Is there a way to "globally" change the font to multiple title cards at the same time instead of clicking on each one separately and doing it manually for each one? And if there is no way to do that does anyone have any ideas on how to make it easier?

If you have any idea of design and fonts you would understand that "Title Cards" are not "exactly the same" if you change the font... because all fonts are not equal! Lower thirds are probably even more restrictive because they have design elements in them.
If you work with "change their mind producers"...the deal that goes with that is suck up their changes. (on a salary or otherwise)
I was just saying there is no way without scripting ..to change a title ( graphic) en masse ( in Premiere) and get it working because of font differences.

How can I change the settings on entering a password every time something is bought

The problem is I put the password in once and get an app for my son and it is unlocked for a number of minutes I wants it to b locked rite away! Cause he is purchasing things while it is unlocked. Is there any way to have this changed to promp with password every time something is downloaded in the future?

You can't change the time, which is 15 minutes, after which you don't have to re-enter your password, but I think that signing out of your account when you've downloaded what you want will work : Settings > Store > Sign Out . Or just wait 15 minutes before handing the phone over.

How can I change the date of a movie clip?

I just digitized some Video8 analog tapes into iMovie and iMovie filed them under 2012 category (since analog tapes have no metadata I suppose). Is there any way to assign the correct year (i.e. 1998) to the clips so they will be filed under the correct year?

Hi Karsten
Me just adding in - tried this date and time change and as I get it
• iMovie'08 - can't be done - Right-Click or Shift-Click or whatever-Click - just don't work
• iMovie'09 (and most probably iM'11) - Exactly as describet - BUT one must ctrl-Click on one CLIP at a time - Can't be done to a full Event in one stroke (at least I can not figure out how)
(Now I did figure it out - Select Clip one - keep Shift-key down and select last clip in Event - then when all is selected ctrl-Click in one of them and Change Date & Time and all will change)

How do you change the volume for multiple clips in one go?

Hi all,
Im having some trouble with audio. Im posting this in a rush so sorry in advance if its a bit muddled! Im editing snow reports with a journo piece to camera (track one lapel microphone) with overlay (track two nat sound ).
1. is there a way to only bring in track one only and track two only from the source monitor?
2. Is it possible to adjust the volume on multiple clips that are on the timeline (so that i can bring down the nat sound for all of the overlay track two)
At the moment im bringing them into the timeline and adjusting them individually. I tried lowering the volume on one clip and saving it as a preset but it wont let me.
your help is greatly appreciated
Paul

Duplicate the audio once editing is done. In the Mixer window, apply the Fill Left effect to one audio track, and the Fill Right effect to the other. Then adjust the mixer appropriately.

How can I change the location of my movie folder

Hello, I just consolidated two mac computers into one mac mini. Now both my wife and I want to share the same actual computer (new mac mini) and share media folders so we are not duplicating photo imports and movies. I figured out how to map the iTunes library and the iPhoto library to a shared folder, but cannot get how to map the 'movie' folder to a single folder for both accounts. This would be needed so we can share and work on the same iMovie projects between the two accounts. Does anyone have any suggestions?

In the iclouds settings of my new iphone apears an old not existing account.. so I can't login.. how can I change the apple ID into my actual one in the settings of icloud on my iphone?

all other settings are correct with my new apple ID... itunes works and all other devises too..

If the contacts on icloud.com are correct, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off (if it is on) and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted. Now check the contacts on your phone to confirm that you no longer have any contacts on your phone. If some or all of them are still on your phone, download the free app My Contacts Backup to your phone. Open the app, tap the gear icon on the bottom right and in the window that opens, scroll to the bottom and tap Remove All Contacts. Confirm that the contacts are now all deleted from your phone. Now go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contact on. The correct contact list from icloud.com should download to your phone.
