How do you edit the genre list in iTunes

My genre list has become very random and I want to reduce it to the general Blues Jazz Rock Pop Classical, can anyone help?

iTunes has a set list of genres programmed into it.  Other genres are added and deleted as you edit the genre fields of files.

This is an older set of directions for editing the genres included in iTunes. I don't know if it still works with newer versions, and make sure you back up your computer before doing editing of this kind because unpredictable things can happen.

  • Anyone figure out how to edit the genre list in itunes yet?

    I've searched the topic list to answer my question and have found some threads on this subject but all were from some time back.
    I was just wondering if there is anything new on this. I understand there are factory preset genres. I understand how to add and remove my own. But I want to nuke apple's factory preset genres so my list is more concise and pertinent to my own tastes.
    Another reason I want to edit it could just be because they say I cant!

    I am not sure if this is what you want, if you click on the genre field of an individual track, you can edit it. If you make it a new genre, it will appear in the genre list.

  • How do I edit the Genre list?

    I want to edit the list of Genre choices. Is there any way to do it besides editing every file individually?

    The genre list is generated from what is in your library.
    You can add genres to the list by editing a song and making up a genre for it. I have done this for my Irish music. After changing the genre in the song the list had the new entry.
    If you have genres that are duplicates or look like duplicates,for example typos, you need to edit the files with those genres.
    Easiest way to find files by genre is with the browser view turned on in iTunes.

  • How do you print the reminder list

    How do you print the reminder list?

    With Reminders open and your list you'd like to print select, press command "A". After that copy them (command "C"). After that, open your Text Edit app. Once that is open, paste your copy in there (command "V"). From here you can print like you normally do.

    How do you connects the same iPad to iTunes which is already synced with another computer

    You can only use one iTunes library at a time when you sync your devices. If you want to sync to a new computer now, look at this.

  • I have never used my mac for desktop publishing before and am having some problems.  This sounds really dumb, but I can't figure out how to put a border around a text box.  Also, how do you edit the border, i.e. border color, thickness, etc. Help!

    I have never used my mac for desktop publishing before and am running into some real problems.  How do you put a border around a text box?  Can you edit the border - color, thickness, etc.?  Help!

    I think the best solution is to read Pages documentation, go to Help and you have a long list of options. Pages is capable of quite sophisticated things, some features are above Nisus or Mellel, so it is not so simple to summarize things in a few lines.

  • How do you edit the duration of multiple still images?

    FCP X has a default duration for still images when you import them. After importing, how can I edit the duration of multiple clips?
    I've tried selecting them all, control-click and change duration, but nothing changes.
    BTW I want to make them 5 frames each...
    thanks for any help

    Thanks Tom, I've tried that. and nothing happens.
    I presume that I type the 5 in the number sequence thing above the timeline?

  • How do you edit the template image that appears at the top only in portrait mode?

    I am using a customized version of the iBooks Author template which has the space image. I have replaced the images for the book cover, chapter and section. But I noticed that when you rotate the ipad to view the entire TOC, the original space image is still there. How can I edit the template image that appears at the top of the Table of Contents only when you rotate the ipad in portrait view?

    I just tried w/that template - switched to Portrait mode...tapped once to select that image....cut - gone. Switched to Landscape...not there. Back to portrait...still gone.
    What process did you use?
    Can you repeat your issue with a fresh book?

  • Can you edit the genres of tracks, once theyre in iTunes?

    Is it possible to edit the genres of tracks once theyve been imported into iTunes? I like to keep all my tracks in particular genres, so I edit them in Windows (right clikc on the mp3 file, then go to avanced & details etc. But sometimes I forget & then I import some tracks, or a CD & the genres are all over the place
    What Ive done it the past is wiped iTunes, re done the genres of the mp3 files in windows, then re0imported - but this takes a long time
    it would be good if you could edit the track once it was in iTunes?
    Many thanks

    Yes, you can edit the data in iTunes. Select one or more tracks, then press CTRL-I or right-click and select Get Info from the context menu. Genre can be set from the Info tab.
    For tips on organising in iTunes see Grouping tracks into albums.

  • SPD 2013 - Copy Document action - how do you update the copied list item's metadata?

    SharePoint 2013 Designer no longer has the Copy List Item Action, it only has a Copy Document action. It seems that this action provides no way of saving the copied documents list item ID. How do you update the list item after it has been copied??
    Any help is appreciated.
    Greg Pierson

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to copy the list item in SharePoint 2013.
    The Copy List Item is
    available only on the SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform, you can create a SharePoint 2010 workflow using the SharePoint 2010 workflow platform to achieve it.
    You can also use the Content and Structure to copy the list items: Site Settings->Site Administration->Content and Structure.
    Thanks & Regards,
