How do I Identify formats in itunes library?

I have several formats in the main itunes library. They all listed together, but I can't tell which is mp3, wma, etc. I thought there was a way to tell but it's been a while since I messed with it so I can't remember. Can somebody help? Thanks!

I can't right click, have a macbook, at least i don't think I can right click. Anyhow I'm going to try your suggestion. I'll post as to weather or not this works.
You can bring up that same menu by using the command View > View Options. When it comes up, check/tick "Kind."

  • I will format my pc. How do i back up my itunes library?

    Hi.
    I'm using a Win XP at my office. :-( I need to format it, and install Win7.
    I have music and apps in my itunes folder at this pc.
    How I must to backup my itunes library to put it in my pc after the win 7 installation?
    Thanks in advance.
    Federico.

    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer as you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new/rebuilt computer using the same tool used to back it up, ideally before installing iTunes.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.

  • Added movie (already converted to mp4 format) to iTunes library in my PC, syncronized to iPad2, now how to locate and play it in iPad2?

    Added movie (already converted to mp4 format) to iTunes library in my PC, syncronized to iPad2, now how to locate and play it in iPad2?

    On your computer's iTunes if you select that video and do 'get info' (control-I), then on the popup on the Options tab change it's 'Kind' to 'Movie' from 'Home Video'.
    To sync it to your iPad, connect the iPad and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then on the right-hand side use the Movies/Films tab to select and sync it to the iPad's Videos app.

  • Duplicates and too many formats in iTunes library

    How do I clean up my iTunes library? I have duplicates of every song now in both AAC and MPEG formats in there. I would like to delete the duplicates and all the mpeg songs leaving only the AAC songs in my library to sync with my Nano. THANKS

    Robert Jacobson has a script for removing duplicates here:
    http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/
    As for removing MPEG files, have you discovered the "kind" column. If you go to View>>View options, there is a check box to display it.
    You could either sort on the kind field or create a smart playlist where Kind is the format you want to delete.
    This will group files of the same type together, but you would have to delete them yourself.

  • How do I delete movies from iTunes library? I have moved them to the iCloud and now only seem to have the option to hide the icon in iCloud.  I am sure I chose poorly at the 'keep file' window.  Please help. My Brain hurts- 18   movies need to go-.

    Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

    Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

  • How can i back up my iTunes library if i want to uninstall it?

    how can i back up my iTunes library if i want to uninstall it?

    Quit iTunes.
    Locate your external hard drive.
    Mac: On the Desktop or Finder sidebar.
    Windows: In My Computer
    Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    Windows Vista: \Users\username\My Music\
    Windows 7 or 8: \Users\username\Music\
    Open iTunes while holding down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows).
    In the resulting dialog, click the Choose Library button.
    Select the iTunes folder you just moved to the internal hard drive.
    Click Choose (Mac OS X) or Open (Windows) and then choose the iTunes Library file inside .
    After following these steps, iTunes will open and your iTunes Library will be restored.

  • How do I back-up my itunes library in newest version of itunes?

    How do I back-up my itunes library in newest version of itunes?

    Fast backup for iTunes library  (Windows)
    Grab SyncToy  2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
    If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.
    Step-by-step guide to using SyncToy.

  • How do I use a newer iTunes library on an older version of iTunes?

    I have an iTunes Library on my MacBook Pro running iTunes 11.1..5.  I want to copy the library to my older G5 PowerPC with an older version of iTunes which has recently had a new drive installed (because of the old drive failing) and new Leopard System (the limit for the G5). 
    It seems I cannot just copy it to the G5 because I get a message like "cannot open iTunes Library because it is a newer version" or somethihng like that.  It suggests updating iTunes but iTunes is upgraded to the max on the G5..
    How can I convert my iTunes Library to run on the older version of iTunes?  There are several suggestions available online, but none of them seem to fix the problem.
    Anyone know how to fix this?  My iTunes Library is extensive and I cannot even entertain the thought of reloading all that music and video!

    In the iTunes folder on the G5...
    Delete the file iTunes library.itl.
    Move the iTunes library.xml (or iTunes Music library.xml) to the desktop.
    Start iTunes.
    iTunes menu File > Library > Import playlist and select the iTunes library.xml you moved to the desktop.
    You can then delete the file on the desktop.
