How does itunes decide where to file videos

I have downloaded music videos to my library and itunes puts them in the right section of the video page in itunes. But all the files i have encoded myself are being put into 'movies' - even when they are DVD shows i own and have encoded. how do i get itunes to transfer these into the right section of the video section of my library?

hi, thanks for posting.
however, i saw this choice, but if i have a DVD of tv shows, then it doenst help to file them in movies or music videos. Why doesnt give it us a choice?

How does iTunes know I moved files

When I move files or even complete folders from within the iTunes Media folder to a location outside the media folder using the Finder, iTunes seems to know I did this. It doesn't matter if iTunes was running or not it just knows the files are moved and can still find them.
This is very neat but how does it work?

I don't know, but it only works on a Mac. If you do that with iTunes for Windows, it immediately loses the files, and renders them unplayable until you manually reassociate to the new location.

What exactly are Upcoming Songs & how does iTunes determine them?

I've never really bothered with Party Shuffle before but it always bugged me when it gave the message about Upcoming Songs. I mean, what is an upcoming song? How does iTunes decide it's upcoming?
Regards,
spriter

Upcoming Songs are tracks in Party Shuffle that have not yet been played. You can set how many upcoming songs are visible, but this setting does not determine how many upcoming songs there are.
Party Shuffle is like selecting Shuffle for the Library or any playlist except that you can alter the results. You can add or delete tracks and you can manually reorder the upcoming tracks in Party Shuffle. You can also tell Party Shuffle to play higher rated songs more often.
Regular shuffle stops once every track in the playlist has been played, but Party Shuffle will continue playing, adding repeat tracks when needed.

How does iTunes use or access existing files?

how does iTunes use or access existing files? My existing windows music folder is about 2GB in size. When moving to iTunes, will iTunes just access those existing files or will it make an actual copy of all the songs? Thanks!

Why I am being ignored? How does Bridge show if a file is associated TO an Adobe Premier project(s)?

If a video file is linked to a premier project, how does bridge indicate that it is associated (linked) to the projects so i can be 100% sure that it must not be deleted?
I put this threat for weeks and 1 response only. Is it someone out there who can give me a hand?
I just finished a FEATURE-FILM in HD comprised of 40 + different Adobe Premier Projects; obviously many files (or clips) are associated to many projects at the same time, and some files are associated to none. So this is the thing: I need to delete 5,000 useless-not associated clips but I need to make sure that these files that I am deleting are not associated with any of my projects.
I am sure that it has to be a way to allow me to ID them so I can sort them and massively delete the outtakes.
Ideas?
Thanks much

Bridge does not show where a file is open. I have never used Premier, so unclear on what you are doing.
Bridge will show the date file modified, if you have that option enabled in the metadata preferences. In the filter panel you can sort the current screen by date file modified. If you modified the clip and saved it you might be in luck. See if you can locate a group of files with the same date as your project.

How does iTunes prioritize loading to iPod when more than 5 accounts?

Unfortunately, my absent minded son has opened up multiple accounts (4 as a matter of fact) when he has received iTunes cards, not knowing (until now) that his ipod will only take 5 accounts max. Given that his two sisters and I also have accounts, we have 7 on the same library. He does not sync the whole library and we have gone through his playlists to exclude his sisters' songs (which is an ordeal all on its own). I then reset his ipod and synced his playlist first, so that his four accounts and mine would be the ones which were loaded onto his ipod. This seemed to work until we included "music videos", which included some of his sisters' videos. I had assumed that they would not be loaded because the 5 accounts had been filled, but they did and the songs from his two most recent accounts were "de-synced". How does iTunes prioritize the 5 accounts and how can I make sure the 5 that we want are the ones loaded? Thanks in advance,
Kevin

i know you can only register 5 computers to use ipod
This is incorrect.
You can authorize a max of 5 computers to play your iTunes purchases.
how do i get rid of the accounts registered to my ipod
Accounts are not registered to an iPod.
Tp play songs in iTunes, you need to authorize teh computer. To authorize teh computer, play a purchased song. It will tell you that you need to authorize the computer by inputting your username and password.

Hey there Matt.dvs1,
Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
Hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

How does Apple decide 'what's hot' among iphone apps?

How does Apple decide what to list in its "what's hot" section of the iphone application store? I assume there is some hard coded logic behind that phrase.

Sorry, but Apple never discloses how they choose those sorts of features.

How does itunes back up books in kindle reader?

The exif data is stored in the photo and will always remain there unless the user removes it.
Relying on the backup of the iPhone done via iTunes to backup the photos is a start in the correct direction but is ultimately not very smart. Keep in mind that backups can only be used for restoring to another iOS device. Apple does not support any method of extracting specific data from the backup.
Copy the pictures off the device as would be done with any digital camera.

How does Illustrator choose where paste objects appear?

Just curious. When I copy and paste background images, (or any image for that matter) and paste them, they appear randomly out of alignment, nowhere near where the original object was. How does AI choose where these objects are pasted? I see the paste in place option, but is there a key command, like holding down "shift" to have objects paste where your cursor rests?
Just a thought/wonder since I can't seem to find this answer anywhere.

Cmd+F and Cmd+B are really much more useful than Cmd+V.
They allow you to rearrange the stacking order hands-on instead of moving meatballs in the Layers panel.
A whole new world opened up for me when I discovered this many decades ago (when Auntie Illie was still young and pretty).

How does Mail decide which outgoing SMTP server to use?

I have Mail setup with two accounts - one for home use and one for work. Each has its own outgoing SMTP server. My question: how does mail decide which outgoing server to use? I don't want to mix work and home stuff.
Specifically, what happens in these three scenarios?
1) I compose a new mail. Does it always use the first account's outgoing SMTP server or does Mail look at the recipient's domain and base its decision on that?
2) I reply to a work email. Is Mail smart enough to look at my domain or the sender's to know to use the work outgoing SMTP server?
3) I reply to home email. Is Mail smart enough to look at my domain or the sender's to know to use the home outgoing SMTP server?
Any information is much appreciated.
Tom

Hi Juergen,
Thanks for the suggestion - I had to "Customize" the viewable header to include the "From:" ("Von:") line to see who I was sending as. As far as the "use this SMTP only" checkbox is concerned - they're checked on both my accounts - so I'm not sure how much of an impact that has. To be honest, I thought this checkbox was meant to limit your outgoing mail (for that account) to this mail server only. I thought that if it was not checked, Mail will try to send the mail via another SMTP server if the one for this account is not reachable.....after all, why else would Apple allow you to check both servers' "use this SMTP only" checkbox?
But this is good enough for me - now I can see who i'ms ending as.
Thanks,
tom

How does iTunes detect move format when purchase

Doh... I asked previously a question and cant find how to locate the inital request out the the 10's of thousands... So i'll ask again... Sorry.
How does iTunes determine if your system can handle HD movies when purchasing? I ask because I have a highend workstation with high end Quadro 2x dual DVI card with matching high resolution monitors (Dell 3007's). Itunes prevents me from purchasing/downloading HD movies. If however I purchase them on my other system (mulitmedia laptop) i can play them on my workstation. Bit of a pain to be purchasing on one system only to play on another... Solution will be to put HD's on NAS.
Any suggestions?

iTunes is aware of the serial number of each iPhone. The backups stored in the iTunes area contain serial number information.
You can change the name of her iPhone several ways. One is on her iPhone in Settings > General > About > Name.
You say "... the receiving end sees my name on their display." That is because you are listed as the financially responsible party - the bill payer. Her name would be seen, for example, if she calls another iPhone and the call recipient has her set up as a separate contact from you with just her telephone number.
If you want her name to show up on her phone, in general, perhaps your cellular carrier can do that.

HT5637 How does itunes match sync playlists?

How does itunes match sync playlists between my computer, ipad and ipod?

It will tell you that the library exceeds the limit and will not proceed. So if you have more than the 25k limit (and keep in mind that iTunes Store purchases do not count against this limit) the only way you can use iTM is to move some music out of the library to get under the limit before signing up for the service.
