How to designate specific videos/songs to a specific device?

Whenever I download a new song from iTunes Store, I also purchase the song's video if available because I like to have the video on my Mac Mini(for home theater on the TV when listening from iTunes) and iPad. But if a video isn't available, I still purchase the song so it's available on my iPhone 4(used as an iPod hooked up to the vehicle while driving). So that leaves me with purchasing both the song and the video for every song. No biggie, not a problem.
But now have duplicates for the same song in my Library. One for the song itself, and one for the video. And while playing iTunes on my Mac Mini via the TV, iTunes doesn't always play the video as a Visualizer. It will start playing the song itself and use the default Visualizer. Is there a way to get the Mac Mini, when playing a song, to show the video option if one's available?
For example, here's a shot of part of my library.
  You see that the first song showing is Attitude(you'll have to scroll to see the whole pic), and there's both the song and the video. While using the shuffle feature on the Mac Mini, iTunes won't always show the video version of the song on the TV while Visualizer(with Play Video enabled) is running. It will show the defualt Visualizer instead.
If there is a video of a song, I want iTunes to play that instead of the audio version of the song. Is there a way to set this up? I can't delete the audio version of the song because I need it in the Library for the iPod. Any suggestions?

Allan, as far as I can see it only allows me to include or not include Metadata by checkin the box in the Image Export window. I want to include most Metadata, particularly my name and copyright. There is one field where I keep my notes that I do not want to send with the photo.This is where my dilemma lies.
thanks

  • How do I get video/songs/pics FROM my iPod TO my computer?

    For example... I've got a video on my iPod that I purchased thru iTunes. After it downloaded to my videos folder, I synced it to my iPod. Then (accidentally) I deleted the file from my PC... in other words, it's only on my iPod. How do I copy it from my iPod back to my PC?

    The second half of this file discusses moving files from an iPod to a computer:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
    Videos are presumably in the "Video" rather than "iTunes" directory; you should be able to just navigate around in that directory for the file you want rather than replacing the entire directory as that article suggests (in which case you'd want to omit the "moving the directory to the desktop" steps, and so forth).

  • How do i transfer my songs to another apple device?

  • How do I sync purchased songs to my other devices?

    I bought several songs at the iTunes Store on my computer and then only some of them synced to my iPhone and iPad. Two of them only appear in my computer. I don't know if maybe there are specific songs that can only be used in my computer but I don't know what's going on. I do not want to buy the songs again on my other devices.
    Thank you.

    Your iCloud account doesn't sync purchased music.  You sync them to your iPod with iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313).

  • How do you send your song to your native device without connecting to a computer?

    I don't own a computer so I can not sync my device to get my song from iTunes, so is there a way I can do that without one? What I mean to say more clearly is....
    I have created a song and would like to listen to it in the music app for the iPad. The native one, where songs purchased from iTunes are sent. If it is impossible to do this without a computer I highly encourage the apple producers to include this in the next update. I almost demand it since I am a paying customer, but I understand these things take time and just really wanted to bring this to the light.

    You're welcome. You need to purchase that adapter, along with a generic HDMI cable (assuming your TV has an HDMI input - almost all due nowadays). Then, simply plug in the iPad 2 to the adapter > adapter to HDMI cable > HDMI cable to HDMI input on your television.
    Then, your ipad will be effectively mirrored on your TV. Both audio and video.

  • How do i transfer video from iphone to all devices?

    i have photo stream on, but none of my videos came through.  Can't I get these to transfer to my other devices?

    The inbuilt iCloud services, do not currently cater for the syncing of video. There are however other third-party apps that will do this for you, you may wish to check out "video stream for iCloud ", but there may well be others.

  • How to identify specific devices on the list of connected devices

    I have 7 devices according to the list under manasge devices. According to this list, I have three iphones identically listed (I actually have two which have different names in the about field) and I have two iPad's (I actually have 1 iPad and 1 iPad mini). The two computers I have connected are listed correctly according to how I list them inside the computer. I changed the name of my iPhone 4S but no change has resulted  in the manage devices page.
    This is clearly a stupid situation. Why can't the manage devices page reflect what I actually call my devices or at least the serial number?
    Can someone please help me clear up this situation asap?

  • On the newest itunes, how do you convert videos or songs to be the right version for my ipod?

    on the previous version, you just had to go to the advanced tab and there was a convert to my ipod/ipad/itouch option.
    where is it on the newest version? or is there just not one on this version?

    iTunes should automatically convert the songs to the format compatible for iPod. If not, follow through this:
    iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
    As for videos:
    Verifying iTunes video conversion and video syncing using sample Quick Time files
    You can also use, Handbreak (mainly use to rip movies from DVD) to convert videos to a specific format so specific devices.

  • I have deleted all my videos songs and photos from my iphone 4 but when i connect to itunes it still shows 17gb free. how can I solve this issue without restore. Total storage of my iphone is 32 gb.

    I don't see an issue, but if you mean why didn't you get most of your memory back you need to see what else is using storage. Go to Settings/General/Usage. Wait a bit for it to calculate storage allocation, then when it finishes you can see how much storage each app uses.

    How can I add new songs and videos to my ipod without syncing as it wants to wipe out the ipod and replace all the existing media?

    On the ipod itself?  If so how?
    I've tried checking on box by the sync music to deselect "Entire music library", but get the  message about "Are sure.... All existing content on the iPod will be removed and replaced...".  However, I don't want to do that as there is music on my ipod I don't want to loose, got it from a previous computer that crashed and could not be recovered.

  • HT4528 How do I attach a song I have downloaded to be the ringtone for specific contact

    How do I attach a song I have bought on Itunes to be a ringtone for a specifica number?

    You'll have to create a ringtone from it first as it is not in the correct format.  Do the following:
    Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes and, wait for the name of your phone to appear, then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    If you're using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar.
    Locate the song in your iTunes library, right-click on it, select "Get Info", on the Summary tab check if it says "Kind: Ringtone".  If it doesn't, then you must convert it to a ringtone, then sync it to your phone.
    Convert the song to a ringtone following this video as a guide: Create free ringtones with iTunes 10 video - CNET TV.
    Sync the ringtone to your phone by selecting it on the Tones tab of your iTunes sync settings, then clicking Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.  The ringtone should then be on your phone.
