How to change the genre?

I have some 1,000 songs, which have a wrong genre. Is there a easy way to change the genre for these songs or do I have to do it manually, 1000 times?

Highlight all the songs you want to change the Genre on, then do a Get Info. Place your cursor in the Genre field and type the Genre you want. Click OK.

How do I change the genre for a specific song? In the past, I just had to double click on the genre field entry. That no longer works.

How do change the title of a song or its genre?

You should be able to edit any of a song's metadata elements (including title and genre) using right-click > Get Info. In the new iTunes 12 dialog, the Genre field should allow you to type in a genre or select from a dropdown (which offers a combination of iTunes' built-in genres + those you've defined yourself):
If you SHIFT right-click > Get Info you can also access the "old style" dialog and enter the genre there.
Are you unable to enter the genre, or having done so is the value held by iTunes not being updated? If the latter, then you may have an issue with the permissions on your media files or the files may be set to read-only.

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.

I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4?

I used to have eight genius mixes and now I have four...I changed the genres around and nothing happened...I've added many more songs since it changed from 8 to 4 mixes...how can I get more again and why did it go from 8 to 4? I had the Hardcore mix and a rap mix and classic rock and grunge mixes...now I don't...I kinda want those back...the mixes I have now make no sense as most the songs on each do not correlate AT ALL to the genre mix they have been placed in. If someone could give me an answer that'd be great.

1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID. You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate. Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME and visa versa.
4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

How do you change the Genre of Albums on iTunes?

There must be an easier way to change the Genre of an album without doing it one by one for each song??

Sorry, one more thing, is there a quicker way to highlight all of the songs in an album other than by pressing "command" and selecting the songs individually? (yep...typical windows user!)

Why does Itunes automatically change the genre of my songs?

Why does Itunes automatically change the genre of my songs? I have assigned specifit genres but they're constantly changed without me doing it. ITs annoying. Does anyone know how i can stop this?

welcome to the discussions
you may find that WMP is doing this for you.
There is a setting is WMP that means that it checks the info held in the file (and shown by itunes) against that held at Gracenote and 'updates' the info where there is any disagreement. On my copy its under the 'media library' tab.
Turn this off if its on.

ITunes won't allow me to change the genre

I have a cd on iTunes and it says that it is Pop, with the exception of one song that I downloaded from iTunes that says it's country. The cd is supposed to be country and so I've tried to change it by going into Get Info and change the genre. It doesn't change no matter how many times I've tried. Any suggestions?
Windows Vista

Hi Chris,
I too am having the same problem as mentioned previously. When I try to edit the genre, and info for my songs, all I get is a greyed-out screen. You mentioned that the songs could be read only, or the folder might not be selected for write permission. Could you please explain further how I can make this adjustment?
Thanks!!

Why can't I change the genre on the new iTunes

I wish to change the genre of a song on the new iTunes. I right click on the song go to details, write in the genre and then click on OK and yet nothing changes. So how can I effectively change the genre of a song?

I found out that in order to have iTunes accept changes, I must first go into Windows Explorer to the music file under properties, in the General tab, then uncheck in Attributes the read only box. Then iTunes accepts the changes.
Thank you and have a great day!

How to change the OraSSO login link in webcache/load balance

Hi
we have 10gAsR1 installed as a Portal instance. We have 6-server
load balancer => webcache as loadbalancer (listening port 80)
Wb ch1 and wb ch2 => webcache (listening port 7777)
portal1 and portal2 => Portal listening 7778
infra =>Infrastruture with repository Portal/Oracle SSO (listening 7777)
This set up is working fine for our intranet setup, now we need to open this for couple of external clients. Well initially we need to open on the load balancer server on port 80 for external team to access, it works fine when we make it publc access.
Now when we need to make it SSO (siteminder) enables, when users click on login link it first goes oracle sso then it internally redirects the page to site minder sso.
Well, I have noted that the sso server details are mentioned in global setting sso/oid details. Since we need to open this for external client we have to add a DNS entry for this so that we can allow its access over firewall..
Now I have made DNS name change at my infrserver level, now I need to update the change at the load balancer server (where wheb chache is running).
Any one know how to chang the URL at load balancer.
I am struck at this point please suggest how should i proceed..
Thanks,

How to change the default Path of Prompt Played by MicroApp

Hi
I need to store all the Self Service application prompts in dedicated Media Server. I can modify location of all the Media files by passing the related URL form CVP application, however I need to know how to change the default location of Prompt file played by Play Media Microapplication in ICM Scripting.
Currently the default location taken by Play Media Micro App is the Media _Server.variable path set for VXML Server location while I have a separate Media Server.
Please advice how we can customize the MicroApp Media path.
regards
Kapil Kumar

Hi Kapil,
Try this in your ICM script, define set variables i.e.
set Media Server= ip address of media server
set Locale = en-us
set input Type = DTMF only
set App Media Lib = " you new location i.e. test "
So, the application path will be
http://media server ip address/en-us/test
hope this helps.
Cheers
