I Need help organising music videos

I'm just wanting to know if they can be organised into artist and album folders like music can or do I have to settle for trawling through a long list of individual videos just to find the right one?
The videos also appear in my music menu but when I click to play them it will only play the audio. Why do videos appear in the music menu if they can only be played from the video menu? And if I add the video to an album it replaces the artwork for that album with a pic of the video clip. How do I keep the proper artwork displayed?
Lots of questions, any help much appreciated

Yes, music videos will be gathered together on the iPod based on album title. If you have three or more videos with the same artist and album title, the iPod will group them as it does for TV episodes.
Why do videos appear in the music menu if they can only be played from the video menu?
Some people buy only the video version of a song they like. They watch it from the Video list a couple tiems until they get tired of the video, then continue to enjoy the song from the Music list.

Need help importing music videos to Quicktime in full quality

Hello everyone. I am having a really hard time figuring out a way to convert music videos in raw DVD video (VOB files) into an equally high quality Quicktime format. All of the software I have used thus far has not gotten me anywhere near the quality I need for this project, so I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion as to what software would be best to achieve a high quality. I have been working on a Windows computer, but I have access to a Mac. After encoding the videos, I plan to put them into iMovie and make a compilation DVD to play at a school function.
Thanks!

Need Help on Music Videos

Hello, I have some music videos converted to .m4v format which I transferred properly to my iphone. When I played them, I noticed that the video doubled itself in the sense that after the original video finished, it would play the video again this time with no sounds. And that is all just in 1 file. Seems like it doubled itself when transferred to itunes. Any help/explanation regarding this would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

I've never experienced that...try removing the files and re-creating the video files...
What method and program was used to make the video files??

Need help with music videos and audio cd's

ok, ive already asked, and for some reason, nobody responded. and i posted the question TWO days ago. so again, there is a song that i want to buy, but there is a music video of it that i could buy and the music video has an extra verse on it that i really like but itunes doesnt sell the video version as a normal mp3. and i want to know, before i waste my money, if i buy the music video and put it on an audio cd, will the cd player play the audio of the music video? somebody please help. thank you very much to whoever helps me with this.

if i buy the music video and put it on an audio cd, will the cd player play the audio of the music video?
No.
If the music video is not copy-protected (if it doesn't have the "+" symbol next to the price, it's copy protected), then you may be able to use QuickTime Pro or another editor to extract and convert the audio track from the video. There also may be Windows programs that could capture the audio output of iTunes; there are such programs for Macs and I'd guess that similar programs exist in Windows.
I'd suggest, though, that you first check with the other download stores such as Amazon and see if they have the track available as an audio-only download.

I've just bought an 80gb iPod and need help with music videos.....

...I've downloaded a music video which iTunes has put in my library under Music when I thought it would be under Movies. I can't move it to Movies, it won't let me. I can only transfer it to my iPod as a music file. How do get to watch it on my iPod?
Thanks

I suggest copying your entire iTunes library to your new computer, also you might want to copy the photos you want to save. Then sync your device to the new iTunes and copy over your music, documents and photos that you want.
If you are no longer going to use the old computer you should open up iTunes on the old computer and use the menu to deauthorize it. Be sure to use the same iTunes menu on your new computer to Authorize the new one.

Select/highlight the ones that you want to change in your iTunes library, do Get-Info (control-I) and change their Media Kind on their Options tab to 'Music Video' - and then similarly for the podcasts.

*** Need help recovering music on iPod/iTunes ***

* Need help recovering music on iPod/iTunes *
I bought my iPod 30G when it first came out back in the day. With the protective case it looks like a Walkman, if you know what that is. The new ones are half the thickness of my old skool one. lol!
Anyway, years ago I accidently uploaded a virus in both my PC and laptop. Yeah, real *******. Well, the person who restored my computers couldn't save my music. I still have the iPod but my library on iTunes is gone. If I try to update my iPod in either computer it will erase every song I have on it and only upload the songs/album I'm trying to add. I'm told that this is something Apple did to prevent file sharing, blah, blah, blah...
Does anyone know a way around it? I keep buying CDs just not able to load them into my iPod thru iTunes.

Hello yourantihero,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

I need help organising my iPhoto please

Can someone help me with my iPhoto.
I have 14,400 photos in my iPhoto library.
I have albums which contain the photos from the library,as I assumed once you created an album it would eliminate them from the library.
Consequently I have lots of albums with what I thought was trying to was create some order ...but instead it's left me with photos everywhere.
To create more dilema,I lost my hard-drive a few years ago and had not backed up any photos(5 years worth)....luckily for me my brother had backed up some and put them back into iPhoto for me but for some reason I now have 3 and 4 of the same photo.
To make it more annoying the photos whilst there may be 3 of the same they are all different pixel sizes?Not sure how this happened?
I've also got 3,300 photos in trash that I'm too scared to delete incase I don't have that exact photo in the library.
Is there any easy way to sort this out,because the problem is getting worse as I try to create order?
Is it possible to organize them all into folders that way I can delete them from the library and trash ?
Thanks in advance

Re: I need help organising my iPhoto please
Apr 6, 2013 9:07 AM (in response to flyinghostie)
Would you mind to clarify a few points, please?
I have 14,400 photos in my iPhoto library.
o.k.
I have albums which contain the photos from the library,as I assumed once you created an album it would eliminate them from the library.
Consequently I have lots of albums with what I thought was trying to was create some order ...but instead it's left me with photos everywhere.
That part is not clear to me.
What kind of albums are you talking about? Do you mean iPhoto albums as seen in the "Albums" section of the source list?
Yes the albums are contained in the Albums section
as I assumed once you created an album it would eliminate them from the library.
Albums will index and organize the photos in your library, but not store them and not remove them from the library. All photos need to be contained in an event. When you are referring to "library", are you referring to your iPhoto library or to the "Library" section in the source list in the iPhoto window?
Yes the library I'm referring to is the Iphoto library.I do have Events also...will organising Events take them out of my Libraray?
.but instead it's left me with photos everywhere.
Perhaps you are confused by iPhoto showing you different views of the same photos.
The top part of the source list "Library" gives you access to all your photos based on the events, as list of all "Photos", organized by the Faces, or organized by the Places. You can access the same photos in four different ways.
The "Recent" section gives you access based on the date; but again you will see the very same photos, only grouped differently.
These are the access paths predefined by iPhoto. The "Albums" section and "Projects" section will give you additional custom structures to retrieve your photos, the access structure you define yourself. But it will not remove the default organisation created by iPhoto, only supplement it with your own custom structures.
To make it more annoying the photos whilst there may be 3 of the same they are all different pixel sizes?Not sure how this happened?
Now, this is probably caused by the way you reimported your photos into your new library. When you take the folders from an iPhoto library and simply import all folders, you will import each photo in three different sizes, for the library contains thumbnails, previews, and full size original image files and versions.
Would it be possible for you to repeat the import step from the backup your brother has made for you? It might be easier to sort your photos in the finder by size and only to import the full size image files, then to do that manually. What is the backup like, that your brother has made? Is it an iPhoto library or a folder containing photos and folders of your old iPhoto library?
I'm not sure how my brother saved the photos as it's been years since he re imported them for me,I'd rather do this myself than trouble him again.I've thought maybe I can set up a folder on my desktop and drag all the main photos from the library into there,then delete iPhoto and start all over again?
But before you proceed with deleting photos that you are not sure about, create a backup of the library, so you will be safe, if you accidentally delete too much.

Léonie

Need help Playing/Formatting videos!!

I have several music videos saved as Quick Time files, but my iPod is not recognizing them, or downloading them? any suggestions???

Do you have a Video iPod and if you do you need to
convert all your video to a format that your iPod
understands. I believe that the tool you need is
built right into iTunes 6.0.3
Thanks for the replies...I do have the new video ipod. Is the tool that you are referring to the "convert to AAC" option? I've tried it....but keep gettin some -50 error message? ( I am using 6.0.3 by the way) thanks again for the help.

Need help on playing videos on 80 Gb I Pod Classic

Hi,
I need help!!!!!!!!!!!
My I Pod Classic 80 GB jus wont play any video files.
I have set it to manually sync songs and videos using iTunes.
I dont have a problem with any of the music files.
The video files just would'nt play.
The video files are in the .mov format and play both in my quick time player and in i tunes.
However, when I try to add the videos to the iPod, it displays the following error message
"MC_1 was not copied to the iPod 'ar iPod' because it cannot be played on this iPod"
This ipod is new and since i brought it it this is the first time am adding videos to the iPod.
Any suggestions?
P.S. I have also tried automatic sync from itunes and also reset iPod to the factory settings.

Hi Ar_08. It is probably a problem with video format. Make sure you are using a compatable format. What extension does the filehave on it. Check this link - http://support.apple.com/specs/ipod/iPod_classic.html . It will give you information about video and audio format. Good luck.

Hi!
Please I need help with this app I am trying to make for an Android cellphone and I've been struggling with this for a couple of months.
I have a main flash file (video player.fla) that will load external swf files. This is the main screen.When I click the Sets Anteriores button I want to open another swf file called sets.swf.The app is freezing when I click Sets Anteriores button
Here is the code for this fla file.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
preloaderBar.visible = false;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
btHome.enabled = false;
var filme : String = "";
carregaFilme("home.swf");
function carregaFilme(filme : String ) :void
var reqMovie:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filme);
loader.load(reqMovie);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OPEN,comeco);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,progresso);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completo);
palco.addChild(loader);
function comeco(event:Event):void
          preloaderBar.visible = true;
          preloaderBar.barra.scaleX = 0;
function progresso(e:ProgressEvent):void
          var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
          preloaderBar.percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();
          preloaderBar.barra.scaleX = perc;
function completo(e:Event):void
          preloaderBar.percent.text = '';
          preloaderBar.visible = false;
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onHomeDown);
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onHomeUp);
btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onSetsDown);
btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onSetsUp);
btVivo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onVivoDown);
btVivo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onVivoUp);
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onHomeClick);
btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onSetsClick);
function onSetsClick(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          if (filme != "sets.swf")
                      filme = "sets.swf";
                      carregaFilme("sets.swf");
function onHomeClick(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          if (filme != "home.swf")
                      filme = "home.swf";
                      carregaFilme("home.swf");
function onHomeDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btHome.y += 1;
function onHomeUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btHome.y -= 1;
function onSetsDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btSets.y += 1;
function onSetsUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btSets.y -= 1;
function onVivoDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btVivo.y += 1;
function onVivoUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btVivo.y -= 1;
Now this is the sets.fla file:
Here is the code for sets.fla
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
var video:Video;
var nc:NetConnection;
var ns:NetStream;
var t : Timer = new Timer(1000,0);
var meta:Object = new Object();
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,init);
function init(e:Event):void{
video= new Video(320, 240);
addChild(video);
video.x = 80;
video.y = 100;
nc= new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onStatusEvent);
ns.bufferTime = 1;
ns.client = meta;
video.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.play("http://www.djchambinho.com/videos/segundaquinta.flv");
ns.pause();
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
t.start();
function onStatusEvent(stat:Object):void
          trace(stat.info.code);
meta.onMetaData = function(meta:Object)
          trace(meta.duration);
function timeHandler(event : TimerEvent) : void
if (ns.bytesLoaded>0&&ns.bytesLoaded == ns.bytesTotal )
            ns.resume();
            t.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
            t.stop();
The problem is when I test it on my computer it works but when I upload it to my phone it freezes when I click Sets Anteriores button.
Please help me with this problem I dont know what else to do.
thank you

My first guess is you're simply generating an error. You'll always want to load this on your device in quick debugging over USB so you can see any errors you're generating.
Outside that, if you plan on accessing anything inside the SWF you should be loading the SWF into the correct context. Relevant sample code:
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[your_domain_here].com/library.swf");
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.load(urlReq, context);

If you're doing this on iOS you'll need to stripped SWFs if you plan on using any coding (ABC) inside the files. You mentioned iOS so I won't get into that here, but just incase, here's info on stripping external SWFs:

I need help getting this video into itunes and on my ipod.

i don't know if this is possible...
the band the films have a new music video "black shoes" on their website. www.the-films.com i got it on my computer and it plays as a movie in quicktime, but i can't figure out how to get it into itunes and on my ipod, if that's possible. i tried to open it in imovie and i couldn't get that to work either. any help would be awesome. thanks.

To get it into iTunes go to file-->add to library and find the file.
Try opening quicktime and open the file. Does it play there? It has to be able to play in QT otherwise iTunes will not accept it.
