HT3847 Why does "organize my library" only manage some Movies, and how to control which it does?

Ok, so I'm totally frustrated. I've long used the "let iTunes manage my library" option, but for some reason all of my recently added moves are in subfolders of \Movies, but all of my older movies are in the root of "Movies", so like the below:
iTunes
\Movies\
    \A Knights' Tale\A Knight's Tale.mp4
    \Underworld\Underworld.mp4
    21.mp4
    Aliens.mp4
    .. rest of my movies
I prefer to have all of my movies in \Movies without the subdirectories. If I turn off "Organize" it let's me move the dozen it's put in subfolders, but I really WANT it to manage my music in subfolders. Problem is, as soon as I turn "Organize" back on, it moves my Movies again, but ONLY THE DOZEN it had in folders before? Why isn't it at least consistent?? Is there some way to control this behavior? Argh.

I have organized all of my music into folders. Each artist has their own folder and each album has its own subfolder. For some reason, whenever I play a song, it moves the file!
iTunes has its own way of organizing content. click here for information
Not only that, but I can't find the file anymore.
as long as you don't see an +exclamation mark+ next to those tune, the tune is still on your HD. to make iTunes show you where it is, right-click (or ctrl-click ) on the tune and select +show in finder+
Does anyone know how to fix this
you can try this and see if it suits your needs: go iTunes > preferences > advanced and deselect +keep iTunes media folder organized+
and where I can find all these missing file? I hope I haven't just lost my Jimi Hendrix discography.
unlikely, see above
what i said above is based on iTunes version 9. you didn't mention what version you're on ?

Why did an iBook purchase only download one chapter and how do I get the rest of the book?

Why did an iBook purchase only download the first chapter?What can I do about this?

is it possible you only downloaded the sample? the cover image for the book will have the word Sample in a red banner across one of the corners.
if you actually purchased the book and only received one chapter, then there should be a link in the email that iTunes sent you to dispute the purchase.

Does anyone maybe know why the new Macbook pros don't have iWeb and how i can install it. My Macbook already came with the iLife thing, but it seems to only have iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band. is there any way that i can install iWeb?

Apple discontinued iWeb. That's the case for over a year now.
Topics in this forum will tell you that in order to install iWeb you have to find a copy at eBay, Amazon and similar places.

You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
Have a nice day!

This bothers me so much. It is absolutely ridiculous. I use my Apple ID as well as a family member's Apple ID to download music.
Every once in a while I will purchase a song and it won't download correctly or will give me an error that my computer is not authorized, a solution I usually fix by deleting and redownloading the song from the cloud. This doesn't work, however, when it happens to both accounts within 90 days.
It is incredibly frustrating to me that I have paid for a song, it downloaded incorrectly, and I must wait 90 days to try downloading it again because of these assinine policies.

Why does my iPod Touch have a white screen and how do I get rid of it?

Why does my iPod Touch have a white screen and how do I get rid of it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I am on an iMac6,1 and on OS 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade the OS. Can I load Lion on my machine, and how do I go about doing it.. I have everything backed up.

I am on an iMac6,1 and on OS 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade the OS. Can I load Lion on my machine, and how do I go about doing it.. I have everything backed up.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

Spy menu only showing some items and properties not available

I am having some issues with the spy menu. In order to try and fix my issues I built the menu from scratch again on one of my pages. Everything works now on that page and when I upload it to the server, it is all there.
However, when I then copy and paste the menu to all the other pages and upload the the server, the submenu doen't show anymore. When I go and troubleshoot it and highlight the menu in its entirety and click properties, no properties will show. On the working page, this ation delievers me a properties bar where I can + or - menu items. Why is this? As this must be why the submenu is not showing either?
The page where everything works is this (See sub menu under coaching clinics) http://www.golifecoaching.com.au/go-beyond-registration-test but on every other page on this website, this submenu disappears.
Can anyone help? I am tearing my hair out and don't fancy having to build the menu from scratch for every page. There has to be a better way.
I use CS4 and this is my menu;
   <div id="navigation">
    
    <ul id="MenuBar2" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
      <li><a href="index.html">Home</a>        </li>

That is brilliant, that is exactly it! Thank you sooooo much for your suggestion. I am so relieved.
Yes a template would be best, but I am not sure how to do that, so I am left with doubling my work evertime I make a change on this site.
Thanks Jen

Subject: Spy menu only showing some items and properties not available
Disclaimer: I am new to coding in general and this is my first attempt to help someone.
I think the properties bar with the + - has to do with the javascript coding that is generated when you create a new tag, and it is located near the bottom of the page just before the closing body tag.
looks something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var MenuBar2 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar2", );
</script>
so dont forget to copy that over too. Also, check the CSS that is associated within each page and make sure they are all in the same style.
P.S. Have you considered using a template for the menu bar so you dont have to copy it over each time?

When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen

When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen. new to ipad so do not know much. Anybody know.p

As long as the app remains in the store then you can re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, or via the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
Similarly ibooks can be re-downloaded, and depending upon what country that you are in then music, films and tv shows may also be re-downloadable (if they remain available in the store).

Thanks for the help. The restore seems to have solved the problem. I had a bit of a panic attack when things started going haywire and the Apple 'Support' told me to call back during business hours!
