How to sort music by genre on macbook

is there any possbile way to soft music in the music folder on the macbook pro? pleasee help

Not in the music folder, no.  That is determined by iTunes.
Well, yes, you could, but you don't want to unless you spend a couple of hours learning how iTunes works and then accept all responsibility for organizing your folders yourself and don't mind if a lot of the convenience features of iTunes no longer work.

  • Sorting music by genres

    Hello!
    I don't understand the way music sorts in my iPhone. I bought Concert for George in iTunes and if I choose “Genres” in iTunes on my iMac it looks fine — it is one album as it has to be:
    But the same album looks like separate songs on my iPhone:
    And I can't listen then whole album I have to play every song separately. What can I do in that case? Yeah, it was fine in the past. I do not know what happened, or may be it is the special feature of iOS 7.0.2.

    Yeah, you're right. But sorting music by genres is more convenient for me.
    I just solved this problem. I put “Various Artists” in Album Artist field and it helps. In my Soundtrack section album still shows multiple times, but every unit opens the whole album. It's a bit strange but it's works.

    How to Sort music on play list by FILE NAME?

    iTunes doesn't display the filename or filepath as a column so you can't sort on it. I could write a script to copy the filepath into the Sort Name field so that sorting by name would sort by filepath. Would that help? In normal circumstances however filepath order would be the same as Album by Artist, so I'm not sure what you would gain. Perhaps there is another way to approach whatever problem you think sorting by filename would solve.

    There are two ways:.
    1. A Sync will do it. If it does not work for you, check the various tabs in iTunes and confirm that the appropriate boxes are checked. You can decide which apps, music and videos will be transferred.

I've tried to redownload it on my macbook but it wont let me as it says it's 'purchased' on the itunes store but isn't in my library. Please help!!

    Hi ..
    Two ways to do this ...
    Using iTunes >  iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    Or, if you want to sync your music between the iPhone and iPad to your Mac automatically via Wi-Fi, use iCloud >  Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    You get 5GB's or free storage space.

  • How to transfer music from iPhone to macbook pro using Yosemite

    Hello,
    I am wanting to transfer all of my music and playlists (including music downloaded from internet) from my iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1.1) to my macbook pro which is using Yosemite (10.10.1) How would I do this?
    Thanks!

    Syncing will only transfer music purchased from the iTunes store to your computer.  Music from other sources can only be transfered from your phone to your computer using 3rd party software such as PhoneView (Mac) or Touch Copy (PC or Mac).

  • How to transfer music from iTunes on Macbook to my iPhone 4S?

    I just recently bought a Macbook Air (my 1st Mac computer) & I'm having trouble transferring music from iTunes onto my iPhone 4S.  I never had this problem before when I was using my PC.  I've got my iphone connected to the Mac & itunes shows that it's connected.  I've tried to drag the music to where it says "iPhone", but the music isn't transferring.  I've also attempted to transfer the music by clicking on the arrow next to the album name, then click "Add to" & then click my "iphone", but it still won't transfer.  Am I missing something here?  Please help!

    Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync.
    If you want to drag and drop then you must select manually manage music.

  • How do I sort music in the iTunes library by Genre followed by Year instead of Artist Name?

    I am currently using the iTunes Library to organize my music. I find that the library by default arranges music into folders by Artist Name. Is there any way to first make it arrange the music by Genre and then by Year instead of Artist Name within the folders? Since I have music in different languages and use this music in other music software as well, sorting by Genre will be extremely helpful. I hope someone can help me out.
    Thanks in Advance!

    Sorry, I missed part 2. Unless CS4.2 has added a true "Group" function, like in InDesign, Illustrator, etc., there is not a direct way to keep Selected Clips together. However, you can put them on their own Sequence and then Nest that Sequence with others. This is often done, so that one can apply Effects "globally" to that Nested Sequence. [Note: there is no real Group function in Titler either, but for many operations, one can Select multiple Text Blocks, Shapes, Lines, etc., but there is no way to permanently "hold" that group.]
    The Alt-click in the Project Panel, for instance, will allow one to drag all to the Timeline, and the Shift-click (or lasso w/ Cursor) in the Timeline will allow one to apply certain things to that group, but the moment that any other Clip is Selected, that "group," does not exist.
    I can see a use for a real Group function, but for things like the application of Effects, one would still need to do the Nesting. Test this out by Selecting just two Clips, and go to apply an Effect - you cannot do that. OTOH, one can apply an Effect to one Clip, Rt-click it and choose Copy, then Select multiple Clips and Rt-click on those, where you would Paste Attributes. Not exactly what I think you are asking about, but the results, with just a few clicks, should be the same.
    If I missed your intent and need, let me know where I went wrong.
    Good luck,

    How do I set up my new Macbook Pro to associate with my Apple ID so I can download purchased music?
    Under 'Manage Devices' it only lists my iPhone and iMac. I've bought stuff on my new Macbook Pro using my Apple ID, but I can't find music I previously purchased using the iMac.

    Oh, wait, I've found it. Silly me!

  • I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

    I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port).  I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive?  I don't have enough space to do that.

    How did you move the music to the external drive?  What exactly is on the drive?  The entire iTunes folder or only music?  If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier.  If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move.  iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

  • How do I transfer a music file from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone?

    How do I transfer a music file from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone?

    If you download Adode Reader (free but very limited) or GoodReader (many features) - you can use file sharing.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under Devices. Click on the Apps tab in the iTunes window on the right. Scroll down to the File sharing apps window. Click on the file sharing app that you are using (Adobe Reader or GoodReader in this example). Drag the document from the desktop onto the file sharing window on the right side - or click on the add button in the lower right corner - and navigate to where the file is on the Mac and select it that way.
