ITunes 11 - how can I change the genre of a movie now?
So I've had iTunes 11 for about 3 hours now and so far it *****. One of my main problems is I can't find how I can change the genre of a movie anymore. I used to do this from Get Info so I could organise all my movies in to my own genres that make sense to me which helps me find what I want to watch when using Apple TV.
It will still let me do that for movies I bought before I "upgraded" to 11 but for the movies I bought this evening, after upgrading, the genre drop down is locked down.
Am I just looking in the wrong place? Or have Apple somehow got the idea that pointlessly preventing your customers from organising their content in their own way is somehow an improvement and I'm stuck with their nonsensical genre classifications?
Same thing goes for movie titles now I think of it - I've edited movie titles after purchase (e.g. I've put HP1 in front of the title of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and HP2 in front of Chamber of Secrets) so that series list in watching order, rather than alphabetical order, on my Apple TV. It's not letting me do that from Get Info either
Please someone tell me I'm just doing it wrong - I don't think I've the patience to jump through the hoops necessary to get 10.7 back!
I had the same bug in songs. It was directly related to tracks purchased in the iTunes store, they wouldn't allow any changes, it was all grayed out.
Here's how I got around it. When I selected more than one item and any other item was not from the iTunes store it would allow me to Get Info and change everything with no problems.
My suggestion is that if you need to, add in a movie from your hard drive (anything at all, it will be a dummy placeholder) that you can you use to select along with the one you need to change. Use command click to select non-contiguous files (even works in different genres), then get info (or command i) and then change your info. You can keep using the same dummy file for as long as you need to to fix the files with incorrect info, then delete it when done.

When using just Apple TV, how can I change the Genre of a movie?
It's using iCloud and some of the movie genre's make no sense. For example, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark is listed as Horror, but Elvira's Haunted Hills is showing as Comedy.
I do realize that Elvira Movies are generally listed as Comedy/Horror on IMDB, and that's fine. However I'd prefer to have these movies listed together properly when looking at movies by Genre.
Additionally, The Lost Boys is listed as a Comedy where as it really should be a horror film. It's humor is secondary after all.
Is there a way for me to change, individually, my movies genre? I don't care if it affects anyone else or not, it just doesn't help me to have them so disjointed. This is only using Apple TV and the movies that stream directly from iTunes central database, not anything located on my personal devices (I can change those just fine locally and they will show up correctly if I just look at it via a computer connection.I had the same bug in songs.

I just upgraded to a new MacBook and my wife is inheriting my old MacBook Air. How can I change the her MacBook Air to now be fundamentally hers? That is, so the House Icon under Users folder is her name and not mine? Also the default AppleID for purchase stubbernly remains my own.
You do not mention it, but I will assume you are running OS 10.9.1.
Go to: Apple menu / System Preferences / Users & Groups. Click the padlock and enter your password.
Click the + (plus sign) and set up a new account for your wife. You have to enter a bunch of info. And then create the correct Login Options. Automatic login does not require a password from the selected user.
When that is done, verify the account works by restarting the computer and login as your wife.
Make sure that any applications in your own Users folder that will be needed are moved to the Applications folder in your wife's Users folder.
Now go back to Users and Groups, click the padlock and authenticate, select your own account, and hit the - (minus sign). This step cannot be reversed, so you might want to wait a few days before doing it.
When your wife is logged in, the App Store will know. -

I have the latest version of iTunes. Today I did a search for a particular song. In the past, I used to get a list of the song and the various artists who recorded it, and I could click the little arrow and play a preview of that song before I decided to buy it. Today the results didn't display that way - instead, I got a page with probably 50 or 100 songs all spread out across the page, and the "writing" was all overlayed so you couldn't quite tell what you're supposed to see! I want to go back to the "list" view but couldn't find anywhere to change the view preference. Any idea how?

How can I change the location of my movie folder
Hello, I just consolidated two mac computers into one mac mini. Now both my wife and I want to share the same actual computer (new mac mini) and share media folders so we are not duplicating photo imports and movies. I figured out how to map the iTunes library and the iPhoto library to a shared folder, but cannot get how to map the 'movie' folder to a single folder for both accounts. This would be needed so we can share and work on the same iMovie projects between the two accounts. Does anyone have any suggestions?

How can I change the date of a movie clip?
I just digitized some Video8 analog tapes into iMovie and iMovie filed them under 2012 category (since analog tapes have no metadata I suppose). Is there any way to assign the correct year (i.e. 1998) to the clips so they will be filed under the correct year?
Hi Karsten
Me just adding in - tried this date and time change and as I get it
• iMovie'08 - can't be done - Right-Click or Shift-Click or whatever-Click - just don't work
• iMovie'09 (and most probably iM'11) - Exactly as describet - BUT one must ctrl-Click on one CLIP at a time - Can't be done to a full Event in one stroke (at least I can not figure out how)
(Now I did figure it out - Select Clip one - keep Shift-key down and select last clip in Event - then when all is selected ctrl-Click in one of them and Change Date & Time and all will change)

When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my apple ID email address keeps popping up on his phone when he tries to download an app. We do not want to have all of the same apps on our phones. How can we change the ID on his phone? I already tried going to Settings>iTunes &App Store> and changing the Apple ID to his account email and that did not solve the problem. To make things worse, I recently changed my Apple ID email address (without getting a new ID) and I do not remember my old password (and this is the address that is popping up on his phone). He does not have any music on his phone and all of the Apps that he has are free. Any help you could offer would be great (-:
All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
You'd need to add an account here: -

how can I change the Apple ID associated with my iCloud account? I changed it in my itunes but the old id is still hijacking my icloud!
Hello pscorning1,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you have already changed the information associated with your current Apple ID (*not* created an entirely new Apple ID), you may find the following article about updating the various Apple ID services helpful:
