Is there a way to make Movies and Home Videos show up in different sections on the apple tv instead of showing the home videos mixed in with the movies?

I have several movies and home videos stored in itunes, when viewing these on appletv, it mixes all the movies and home videos together.
I would like to beable to select either Movies or Home Videos when viewing on the Apple TV if this is possible...?

You have 2 options:
1. Create Video Playlists in iTunes (for example create one for Home movies, the other for Movies)
You COULD make these Smart Playlists. (see below for one technique)
NOTE: If you wish to do this don't miss the preference in Settings to enable Video Playlists at least (at least in the latest ATV updates) I believe it's under Audio setting. Amazingly the default is NOT to show!! (had me going for quite a bit)
2. Set up your Home Movies as "Music Videos" This has some gotchas: like you'll probably want to choose the skip when shuffiling, also Now they'll appear in music lists. The only advantage to this is that it makes playlists more available on iOS devices since there are no Playlists displayed in the Videos App.... (yeah Apple's made this WAY confusing of late)
If you wish to keep these clearly defined (especially for use with Smart Playlists.
Select the movie
Get Info (Edit Menu) (or Command-I Mac, Control-I, PC)
Choose the "Video" Tab - you can select your desired type from the Media Kind pop up.
Alternate method for setting up smart playlist of home movies would be to set the Genre to "Home Movie"
Probably more than you needed to know - leigh

I share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

i share a photo stream with a family member. Is there a way to make it so we have separate photo stream but still use the same apple id?

You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device. On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
Music Home Sharing
Video Home Sharing
Photo Stream
Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
Mail (if using @me.com)
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Bookmarks
Notes
Find My iPhone
Messages
Find Friends
FaceTime
On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled).

Is there a way to make movies open with the same screen size and position?

Hello, I'm a new mac guy having just bought an i-mac a few months ago.
I have a bunch of saved movies that open in quick time. Each time I open a separate movie by double clicking the file, the window opens in the upper right hand corner in a fairly small window. I must then drag the window size and location to a much larger size. I do this every time.
I saw under quicktime, preferences, a section about preferences for full screen. This seems to work one time, for that movie, but all subsequent movies (even in full screen) or their same size.
Is there a way to make the window size and/or location permanent?
Thanks.

this would have seemed like an easy thing to do but i've had no luck; one more attempt at a solution?

Is there a way to make movies playlists in itunes 10?

I would like to be able to make a playlist consisting of movies without having to change info to make them into music videos. If there were a sperarte music video category in the itunes library section, that sure would be neat. But instead there is a music video playlist where the music videos will be, but they also show up in the Music library which I do not like or want. So is there a way to make a movies playlist w/o them ending up clogging the Music section of my itunes library?

You can make a playlist that contains any combination of audio and video from the Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books (Audiobooks) and Podcasts sources. If you really object to the music videos appearing in Music, either make them Movies, or perhaps better yet, TV Shows and give them a common Show name to group them together.

Is there a way to make a list of songs that I plan on buying in the future?

I constantly see songs that I want to buy on the iTunes store, but then end up forgetting them before I get money to buy them. Is there a way to make a list on the store so that when I come back in the future, I can just pick the songs off of that list?

Sure, pen & paper will work, but if it's in a wishlist, you just click on the arrow and don't have to type things all over again.

Is there a way to make Mail app badge to show the count of unread mail for only certain account?

The mail app badge normally shows the total count of unread emails in all your accounts. Is there a way to set it so that it only displays the count from one specific mail account?

No.

Is there a way to make movie w/o theme page?

I have a very brief movie I want to make and I don't want to use any theme page, or buttons or anything else for that matter. I just want the movie to run it's 10 second course when I press play, and that's it.
Is this possible with iMovie 08?

Yeah, I just realized I posted in the wrong place. I meant iDVD.
Thanks, I'll try again.

Is there a way to make 3g and not wi-fi the priority for sending text messages to someone using an iOS5 device?

Here's the problem: I am often in a building which has free wifi but the wifi requires that you accept the terms of use during every browsing session. If I receive a text message from someone who is also using iOS5, the phone seems to default to wi-fi to send my response. If I have not yet accepted the terms of use for the building's wi-fi, my phone wont send the text message response. I don't know if that is because the phone is connected to a wifi signal albeit one that can't yet access the internet. For whatever reason, the phone is just trapped in a "sending messge" loop and wont break out of it until I open my browser and accept the terms of use. This is the situation notwithstanding the fact that I have 3g service and the signal is available to send sms/mms.
Can anyone offer a suggestion other than disabling wi-fi?
Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. I looked at my settings and the phone has been set on "send as SMS"--but for some reason, the phone is continuing to try to send it over wifi despite the lack of an internet connection on wifi. It would seem that after a minute or more of trying, the phone would recognize that wifi wasnt available and would send it on SMS but it apparently doesnt. I can, of course, turn off iMessage but I dont like the idea of having to do that everytime---particularly since an increasing number of my contacts are using iOS5 devices.
Thanks again for your response but it does seem that there is an issue that needs to be addressed.

Is there a way to make drag and drop slides behave like question slides?

I created a drag and drop interaction that I want to include in an assessment with other quiz questions. I am having two problems
1. The submit and reset buttons do not display for the full 3.0s duration of the slide. Once the user clicks submit, the feedback caption displays and the buttons disappear.
2. The slide auto advances to the next question. I want the slide pause until the user "clicks anywhere to continue."
Does anyone know a work around to get a drag and drop slide to mimic question slide behavior?
Thanks!

I must be missing something; is there a way to make lines and arrows in PSE9?

I'm trying to add an arrow to a photo to point out certain features. I'm lost; I see no way to do this???
Thanks much
Ron

Two easy ways:
1. Select the custom shape tool, select all elements shapes and
choose from the arrows.
2. Use the line tool and either draw a line or adjust the settings under arrowheads.

Is there a way to make PSE 13 NOT open all my photos when I open the program?

Is there a default location when I can change it so that when I open PSE 13 Organizer it does not open all the photos in the Album? I would rather that It just opened the Folders and let me choose which file to open. I have Windows 7 if that makes any difference. thanks...

Is it the same question than in this post ?

Is there a way to sync iPhone and add just a subset of my contacts to the phone

I have a large book of contacts on my mac. I want to include just a subset on my iPhone. I have grouped the contacts on the mac. The iTunes sync offers just syncing specific groups, but it must refer to groups on the iPhone, because my mac contact groups don't show up. WHat am I missing?

Yes, connect your iPhone to your computer, click onthe name of your iPhone then click on the apps tab in iTunes.
