how to keep christmas music out of a genius mix?

A cleaner solution is to create a playlist with your running albums, then update the other smart playlists with "Playlist" not in "Running Albums".
That way, you don't need to update each and every playlist when you add a new running album, you just need to put it in the Running Albums playlist.

Keeping Christmas music separate for main music library

Is there a way of keeping Christmas music in a separate "library" so it does not get played when I want to just do a random shuffle of all my music - i.e. not use a playlist or Genius?

Although it would be nice if you could set up separate libraries
You can easily do this.
In iTunes select all the Christmas music.
Drag it from the iTunes window to a folder on the desktop.
This makes copies in the new folder.
Now delete it from iTunes.
Quit iTunes.
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select *Create library*.
Go to the Music folder and type *iTunes Christmas* then OK. This will be a new iTunes library.
Drag the folder on the desktop with all the Christmas music to /Music/iTunes Christmas/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.
This will add everything to iTunes and move all the songs to /Music/iTunes Christmas/iTunes media/Music.
To change libraries...
Quit iTunes.
Hold OPtion and launch iTUnes.
Slect Choose library and select the iTunes folder you want ot use.
The default is /Music/iTunes/.
The new Christmas library should be /Music/iTunes Christmas/.
iTunes will open with the last library you used unless you hold Option and select a new library.

I want to fix a Genius Mix as a playlist...How do I see track names in a Genius Mix?

I want to fix a Genius Mix as a Playlist. How do I see track names behind a Genius Mix icon?

I don't think you can. I was going to suggest that since you can sync a Genius Mix to a device you might read off the tracks from that, but it turns out the details are hidden there too.
As I understand it once a Genius Mix has been created it won't be altered, unless you delete a "mix" you don't care for in which case a replacement will be generated.
To capture the list in iTunes I guess you would have to leave the mix to play all the way through until it loops back on itself, then sort your Music in Last Played order and capture the results to a regular playlist.

How can I increase the limit of iTunes Genius Mixes?

How come my macbook is limited to 6 Genius Mixes, while I've seen screenshots of people having about 12 mixes available? is there anything I can do to increase the limit?

Twelve is normal. You might try turning Genius off and back on to refresh it and see if it will then give you more. If you have content only from a very few genres, though, it's possible it can't find enough variety to generate more than six. Or if you have a lot of unusual tracks, particularly ones not sold in the iTunes Store, there may not be Genius data available on which iTunes can base a mix.
Regards.

How to keep a music file playing across slides in Keynote '09

Hi all,
I've made an opening slide which has a 4 minute long music piece as it's first build. Now, after the 4-5 photos that drift in over the music, I want to change the slide and bring in the next few slides at timed transitions but I want to keep the music playing continuously over these all and end the presentation with the final slide over the end of the music. How do I do this?
Thanks.

Instead of having the song on the slide and using a build in for it, make the song the soundtrack. To make the song the soundtrack, add it in the Inspector>Document>Audio section. Then you can time out all your transitions and builds. The song will not fade out at the end, but you can add it to Garage Band and shorten it and fade it out if needed.

ITunes installed on a new drive with music on an old drive: how to keep the music data?

I had iTunes installed on my old HDD with all my music on it. It was the drive C:\
I just installed a new SSD (now the C:\ drive) in my computer. I also installed iTunes on it. I want to leave my music on my old HDD (now the G:\ drive). I can scan with iTunes for my music on my old G:\ drive, but that means I won't have the star ratings nor the play count...
I tried to copy and paste the iTunes Library.xml from my old G:\ to my new C:\. When I opened iTunes, it had all my music and the data, but I had to locate manually every single song (in a 7000+ songs library, this is a bit of a problem).
Is there a way to edit the iTunes_library.xml file to change the path of every song in it (from C:\ to G:\) since this seems to be the issue? Or how could I keep my music on my G:\ drive and itunes on my C:\ drive while keeping my music data?
Thank you!

Hello papapavvv,
Thank you for providing so much information about what is going on. It sounds like you have your iTunes Library on your G:\ drive, but it sounds like iTunes is not opening iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive. Follow these steps to point iTunes to your G:\ drive:
Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
You should see the following screen:
Additional information
If you do not see the screen above, then you did not hold the correct key at the correct time. You may want to try again. Note that if you pinned iTunes to the Start menu programs, and open it that way, it may not work.
Once you select "Choose Library," you will need to navigate to the iTunes Library.itl file on your new external drive.

How do I get music out of "icloud" and turn it off? Didn't/don't want it.

How do I get my music out of icloud and turn it off? Didn't/don't want my music in the clouds, I want it in my ipod where I can listen to it.
Thank you.

You can go into your settings and turn icloud off. It will remove what is there. Your music is on your ipod and you should be able to listen to it. icloud stores the music to share/update your other devices - ipad, iphone etc. so you only need to make a chage on one device. The cloud changes it in all other devices.

How to get more than 2 squares in Genius Mixes?

I have iTunes 9 and when I do Genius Mixes I get only 2 boxes when it says you get 12. How can I do this? Do I need to get more music?

Hi shraddha,
The Jet OLE DB provider reads a registry key to determine how many rows are to be read to guess the type of the source column. The registry setting is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel\TypeGuessRows
Or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\wow6432node\microsoft\jet\4.0\engines\Excel\TypeGuessRows
By default, the value for this key is 8. Hence, the provider scans the first 8 rows of the source data to determine the data types for the columns. If any field looks like text and the length of data is more than 255 characters, the column is typed as a
memo field. So, if there is no data with a length greater than 255 characters in the first 8 rows of the source, Jet cannot accurately determine the nature of the data type. Therefore, values longer than 255 characters may be truncated or ignored.
To import data from a memo column, we must make sure that the memo column in at least one of the sampled rows contains a value longer than 255 characters. Or we can increase the number of rows sampled by the driver to include such a row by increasing the
value of TypeGuessRows. For more details, please refer to the following kb:

How to fade background music out and fade in video clip audio Final Cut Pro X

I am putting together videos and photos made during one of the trips, and I have background music running throughout the whole movie, but I want to fade this music during some parts of the video to hear the original speech/sounds of it, and then increase the volume of background music again. I know that in iMovie it is done in a few simple steps, and it almost automatically fades the music in/out. But I cannot find any similar options in Final Cut Pro X, how do you do it there? (I have 10.1.2 version)

This is very easy to do.
Press the letter R to switch to the Range tool. Drag the appropriate range in the audio clip. Press A to go back to the normal arrow tool. Drag the volume down. (Alternatively, instead of pressing R and then A, you can just hold down the letter R while you drag; then release and you are still using the arrow tool)

How to keep Single Songs out of Album View? iTunes11

What is the proper way to label singles so that Album View does not contain an 'Unknown Album' for each artist with at least one song?
You would think leaving the 'album artist' and the 'album' field blank it would not put that song in album view, but that is not the case in iTunes 11. This is how it works on my phone (4S) (iOS 6.0.1) .
A work-around is to label all singles with the correct artist and title, but label all singles with the same album artist (i.e. 'various artists') and with the same album (i.e. 'singles'), but if you did that iTunes will automatically move all the files from the correct artist folder into one giant 'various artists' folder. (if the 'keep itunes media folder organized box is checked)
What is the best practice to resolve this nearly useless album view function?

A cleaner solution is to create a playlist with your running albums, then update the other smart playlists with "Playlist" not in "Running Albums".
That way, you don't need to update each and every playlist when you add a new running album, you just need to put it in the Running Albums playlist.

How do I get music out of cloud to play in an area with no internet connection?

I have music I wish to play in a venue that lacks internet connection. How can I access or import my music so that it is in the Mac and playable?

Hi bernicemily,
If you have an Internet connection but plan to go to an area without an Internet connection, you should be able to download the songs in advance.
iTunes 11 for Mac: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12284
Play or download songs from iCloud
You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button Cloud with an arrow pointing down next to it.
To play the song, double-click it.
To download the song, click the Download button.
After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
Take care,
Nubz

Laptop crashed, iTunes music wiped out, how do I get music out of iPhone to my computer?

May I know whether it is possible to transfer my songs out of my iPhone music library to my computer or my new iTunes? The music files which i lost were mostly on soft copy.
Is it also possible to sync my iPhone to a new empty iTunes without losing my music files?
Thank you!

Use the backup of the computer to put everything back.
Syncing is one way, computer to iDevice.
If for some silly reason you have chosen to not backup your important media and data, iTunes purchases can be transfered from the device or redownloaded from iTunes.
Google is your friend to find instructions.
