How do I keep movements of classical music together?

I've read that you can us "Grouping" to keep movements of classical music together, but I can find no information on how to do it. How do I mark certain tracks to always play together, even if I have the shuffle setting on? Thanks!

=> is this a different iCloud account for each device? I thought iCloud account ID had to match some iTunes account ID, for which we only have one i Tunes account?
You need to set up a separate iCloud account for each person that does not want to share their iCloud data. If you share an iCloud account with someone, any data you both sync with the shared account is merged, and you end up with each other's data on your device(s). If, for example, you owned two devices and someone else in the family also owned two devices, you would both want your own iCloud accounts, and you would each set up your personal iCloud account on the two devices you own. In other words, you want a separate iCloud account for each person to be used on the devices they own. Each iCloud account has to have a separate Apple ID. The ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for iTunes. Many families perfer to share the same iTunes account/ID, but maintain separate iCloud accounts with different IDs to keep there data separated.

=> what ID, iTunes? So I can have a separate iCloud account "only" ID which I also assume must be some [valid] email address? The children currently do not have email accounts anywhere.
Yes, I was referring to the iTunes ID not needing to be the same as the ID used for iCloud. In order to set up an Apple ID your children will need to have a valid email address that can be verified by Apple. Apple requires this so they have a way of contacting the owner if there is a problem with the account, such as when you may need to reset the password on the account. When you set up the ID, Apple will send a verification email to this email account and you will need to click on the verificating link in the email to complete the process. If they don't currently have an email account you can just set one up with gmail or another free email hosting service. They don't have to use the account but you will need it to set up the ID.

I'm retiring my old computer (windows xp) to a new computer (windows 7). How can i easily move my itunes music from the old computer to the new computer? i have my playlists organized in my old computer, i would like it to stay that way in my new computer

i'm retiring my old computer (with windows xp) and bought a new computer (with windows 7). How can i easily move my itunes music from the old computer to the new computer? i have my playlists organized in my old computer, i would like it to stay that way in my new computer. I also have my ipods, iphone sync'd in the old computer so i want to make sure that things won't get messed up (my apps, playlists, etc) when i move over everything to the new computer and sync all my devices with the new computer.
Thanks in advance for the tips.

Make sure the XP box is upgraded to the latest version of itunes. Also make sure it's using the itunes media folder layout as explained here, because that's what the W7 is going to be using.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3847
Install itunes on the new W7 PC.
Get these folders from the XP machine
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
And put them here on the W7 machine
C:\users\username\My Music\iTunes

How can I download movie trailer from Music Store for iPod?

Movie trailers are produced to attract audience to see the film, so there shouldn't be any coryright issues. But why is it that I cannot copy and paste or download movie trailers from Music Store onto my iTunes and iPod? If Apple puts it on the Music Store, it expects people want to transfer it to their iPod. Sometimes just could not understand what these people think!

Thanks ALpinaoman, I am afraid things (and life in the world of Apple) are not as simple as you described it. First of all, some movie trailers - when they are played - do not have a little drop down menu arrow to the far right. Secondly, after transferring (i.e. saving) the movie trailer onto the iTunes on my iMac, only a few can be updated onto the iPod, most can't. The error message on the iMac is: "Some of the videos in you iTunes library, including the video "breakfastonpluto.ref" were not copied to the iPod because they cannot be played on this iPod. Click More Info to visit www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n301461 for more information on creating videos compatible with your iPod." What the xxxx is this ".ref" format? Why can't these stupid IT people sit down and agree on ONE format instead of MP4, MOV, AVi, WMV, asx etc etc etc.
I have used the video iPod for a month now and have all kinds of hurdles transferring video to the unit (easier for DVD, very difficult for VCD, got visual but no sound, etc etc). I have no idea how technically complex the whole thing was when I bought the iPod. I thought it was like recording your TV show on VCR which was low tech (well tech has advanced quite a bit since VCR was invented and tech was supposed to make life easier not more complicated). I guess I need to attend a one year training on computer engineering before I know how to use "user friendly" Apple products.

How do I keep movies playing as background through more than one slide?

I mainly use keynote for putting the words to songs up on the screen in church. I started using short motion backgrounds (regular video files), they look great but when I put them in the master, it restarts the movie for each new slide, so it starts and stops and looks real jumpy.
Is there any way to keep a movie looping through an entire slideshow and just get the text to change in front of it so that its real smooth?

It depends on how many slides you have, but one way to do it is to use builds to show and hide text boxes on a single slide. If you have the movie on the slide it will start to play when you first show that slide. If you build in the text box for the first song, then build it out with the next click, then build in the text box for the next song and build it out etc until you have done all your songs the movie will continue to play without skips.
With lots of text boxes sitting on top of each other you'll find it hard to do any editing so you'll need to have everything right before you start!

How do I transfer movie, app and music purchases to a new Apple ID created for my kids?

Dozens of Disney movies, music and apps on my account. I want to create a new Apple ID for my kids and transfer these purchases to it. The message board is a nightmare. Simple fix?

You can't do that, content purchased under one ID belongs to that ID and cannot be transferred.

How do I keep movies from automatically downloading to my computer, when purchased from iPad or Apple TV

I purchase movies from Apple TV and from my iPad. I don't want them to automataically download to my computer because I have limited space on my hard drive. I see in preferences you can choose to automatically download music, books and apps (or not). I can't find a way to stop movies from automatically downloading.

As A. Hanwell says... However you should still be downloading your purchases at some point for local backups. iTunes in the Cloud is not a backup service, and if the copyright owners of the content choose to remove it from the iTunes Store it will disappear from your purchase history and you will no longer have access to it. The only solution is to backup your purchases locally.

How do I keep movies on my Iphone, but delete them from my computer as well?

I've got a computer with limited hard drive space left due to an exhaustive game library. As such, I can only 'afford' to fit maybe 8 gigs (2 or so) worth of media downloads on it. And suffice to say, downloading media with my computer is much preferable to sloooooowly doing it over the cloud.
The problem, however, is that I know that there's a crazy amount of autonomy in Itunes' decisions, namely that deleting a file from your computer will make Itunes decide that the Iphone doesn't get to keep it either.
Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing?

Hi
If I keep them on itunes thet will sync over to the ipod when connected.We didnt want them on the opod because when on shuffle they will play which isnt what we want.any ideas appreciated.
Cheers

How do I keep .mov clips from being squashed when imported into iMovie HD6?

Hi there! First time poster... Hoping someone can help me out with this:
I've stupidly shot some footage with my digital camera sideways, portrait-style. I used QuickTime Pro 7 to rotate the footage clockwise, preserving the aspect ratio, so now the .mov clips are 480x640 pixels (so 3:4, instead of the standard 4:3).
When I import the clips into iMovie HD 6, the footage gets squashed to fit the 4:3 screen, making everyone look shorter and fatter. The Help file advises that iMovie "automatically adjusts incoming footage to fit the screen size (aspect ratio) of your project".
Is there some way I can opt out of this automatic adjustment? I'd prefer to have black bands on the sides of the screen than squashed video!
Thanks for any help you can give. Cheers!

You'll need to make an all black 640X480 image file and add it to your video.
Adjust its layer so it is in the background and then reduce the dimensions of your video so it fits over it.
Bring this new file into iMovie.

How do I keep songs from an album together when importing?

When I import music from a cd, often it is broken into pieces if there is a collaboration on that song. For example, Santana's Shaman album is almost all collaborations with various artists so it is imported as a huge number of separate albums.
How can I prevent this from happening when immporting cd's and how do I put them all together again?

That's what the "Album Artist" field is for. The track artist can have all kinds of variations (especially with Santana!), but the Album artist should be "Santana" for all of the tracks and that will keep the album together. If the Album Artist field is left blank, you will get the behavior you have described.
I usually answer "no" when iTunes prompts me to import the CD when it auto-detects one... then I edit the Album Artist (which is almost never automatically filled out), then I import the CD.
You can edit all of the CD tracks simultaneously by selecting all of the track, right clicking and selecting Get Info. You can also add artwork at that point if you have specific artwork you want iTunes to use... I usually get mine from AlbumArtExchange.com.
If you don't edit the info before importing the CD tracks, you can sort by "date added" after importation to get all of the tracks you've already imported grouped together and edit the Album Artist field there.
You can see below that "Guitar Heaven" stays completely intact in all views even though there are many track artist variations.

ITunes for classical music

iTunes' structures are for "songs" (one song, one track). A CD of classical music contains one or more "works", each consisting of one or more "movements" (usually one track, one movement). How can I store and manage classical music with iTunes, or are there any alternative applications?

Obviously, different users will have different approaches to this problem.
I too am an avid fan of classical music (my iTunes library is over 90% classical). I'm not a great fan of a multiplicity of playlists, though, so I adopt a different approach. I have separate genres for different types of musical pieces — Chamber, Instrumental, Vocal, Operatic and so on. I then have one enclosing folder in my Source list (I call it Classical Categories), within which I have a number of smart playlists (Chamber Music, Concerto, Instrumental, Orchestral, Symphonic). I view these smart playlists as lists grouped with artwork and sort these lists by composer. This has the effect of neatly dealing with those situations where the original CD contains works by different composers, since it separates these out and displays them separately. CDs devoted to music by a single composer still remain grouped as a single item, but viewing as a list grouped with artwork helps make each CD stand out from its neighbours and aids clarity.
Using the search field within any of my smart playlists gives me instant access, for example, to all symphonies or all concertos (or whatever) by any single composer. In many ways, indeed, iTunes has proved to be a better way to access music in my library than was ever possible with physical CDs on shelves — I've lost track of the number of times I've found it frustratingly difficult to find a particular piece of music 'in the old days' because it was part of a CD which I'd filed under a different composer's name because music by that composer was what I bought the CD for originally.
As I say, we'll all find different solutions to the problem of using iTunes for classical music, but I'm happy with mine. What would be wonderfully helpful would be for Apple to introduce into iTunes the grouping by 'Work' which they use in the iTunes Store. I also wish they'd drop the use of that word 'song', which is so frustratingly inappropriate in a classical context, and replace it with 'track'. I've submitted feedback about these points on numerous occasions. Perhaps Apple will address the needs of classical collectors at some time in the future.

Itunes & ATV: Classical Music Question

Hi - I'm usually really excellent with organizing my library of classical but I just caem across something via my new Apple TV which has stumped me - I'm sure there is an easy fix...just not sure what it is. Here is the scenario:
I have in my library multiple complete sets of the Beethoven Symphonies (1-9). I don't have any issues when using iTunes alone or even my iPhone with this - on my Applek TV, I scroll down in the COMPOSER field and choose Beethoven. I am then presented with an alphabetical list of the works in my library on the track level - when you get down to the "Symphonies" instead of seeing:
Beethoven: Symphony 1: mvt 1 (Bernstein)
Beethoven: Symphony 2: mvt 2 (Bernstein)
etc., etc.
I see something like
Beethoven: Symphony 1: mvt 1 (Bernstein)
Beethoven: Symphony 1: mvt 1 (Abbado)
Obviously this would "go away" if I just chose this by ALBUM - in any event, is this where either the GROUPING or SORTING would help - I have yet to use them and I rarely see them used on purchased music as well. Thank you ina dvance for any help.
Steve

From my experience, a good way to handle this issue is through playlists. I first create a new playlist for CD or CD set. When the CD is loaded and its contents appears in a new iTunes window, I select all of the tracks and drag them to the playlist. I've found it easier to work with the tracks within a playlist.
Once in a playlist, select the first track, right-click, select "get info", and select the tab labeled "sorting". There are 2 columns: the left one with "name", "artist", "album" , "album artist", "composer" etc, and the right with: "sort name", "sort artist", etc.
Because I use both an iPhone and and iPad where display space is limited, for the name, I have usually have something like this "Bach: Brandenburg #1 F 1-Allegro BWV 1046" but for the sort name "Bach: Brandenburg #1 BWV 1046-1" etc. For a piece in, for example, D minor I use "Dmin", and use musical notation for sharp and flat rather than the word or an abbreviation.
I've found absolutely no consistency in how tracks are numbered, sometimes with regular numerals, sometimes Roman numerals, occasional mislabeling, etc.
I'd like to know how others import and manage their classical music.

I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. I inadvertently changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity and want to remove the music from my phone. How do I do that?

I keep all of my music on my iPod Classic. In error, I changed the sync setting on my iPhone 5 to sync the music with my phone. I am overcapacity on my phone and don't want any music on my phone so I want to remove the music from my phone without disturbing my iTune music files on my PC and iPod. How do I do that?

On your phone: Settings>General>Usage>Music...tap the Edit button...then the red minus sign. This will delete all music on your phone.

I have a large classical music collection. As I uploaded into the IMAC needless duplication occurred in the genre classifications. Some compositions are separated by movement and placed in "LP-Classical" genre, but in duplicated genres. How combine thos

Question: I have a large classical music collection which I have uploaded into my IMAC computer. In the process many of the compositions were placed in needlessly duplicated genre categories ( a sonata turns in three SEPARATE "LP-Classical" categories, all 3 movements separated into different "LP-Classical" categories, one atop the other. How does one eliminate the foolish duplication and recombine the three movements into one composition? I am Desperate.
Normal editing techniques do not work for this problem! Thank you/
