Itunes 12.0.1.26 Display and group Home Videos in Genres

Hi, Since the most recent version of iTunes has been installed on my mac, my home videos of which I have hundreds, are no longer displayed by genre. I used to have a list of genres down the left side of the screen. you could then click a genre to display the home videos within it.
Is it still possible to display that view or similar? All I can seem to do is display all the home videos on one big screen. granted they are listed in genre order but its still a bit of a chew on to scroll right down to the genre i want.
Hope someone can help me!
Many Thanks!

Thanks for your advice. However my private informations have nothing to do on a wandering cloud that floats on high over US vales and hills ( and credit to William WORDSWORTH for his poetry)

For particular display and group criteria, we are getting exception

Hi,
Please any one assist me on this.

Hi,
You will have to manually copy your music. Get a pen-drive big enough to accommodate all your music. And follow these steps:
1. Create a new folder on the pen-drive.
2. Copy the music from your work computer to the folder you just created. It's in (yourhomefolder)>Music>iTunes>iTunes Media>Music if you're using a Mac, or in C:\Users\(yourusername)\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music if you're using Windows.
3. Now on your home computer quit iTunes, and copy your music from work to the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder in (yourhomefolder)>Music>iTunes>iTunes Media.
4. Start iTunes. It will automatically start to process the files and move them to the appropriate place.
Repeat these steps with your music from home on your work computer. Also I suggest to use only one iTunes account if possible.
Hope it helps
Regards,
Gábor

ITunes 12 add on blue dot to unwatched Home Videos?

Now that iTunes is putting I have converted from DVD into "Home Videos" tab, is there any way to have the blue dot show on the unwatched videos? I cannot find a way so far....
Thanks!

make sure they are MP4 or MOV files, and simply drag them into the library window of iTunes.

What is the best way to make and organize home videos? Macbook Pro? iPad?

I have a Sony Handycam HD camcorder and a macbook pro. Right now, I'm creating home videos by dumping all raw video into iMovie, adding a date/time stamp and saving the video to an external hard drive. Is this the best way for me to create and store these home videos with my current setup? I also take some video with my iPhone and include them in the iMovie projects as well. I want these videos to be around for a long time and I'm afraid I'm going to lose them since I've graduated from DVDs to actual .mov files.
With that said, I would like to find a more streamlined approach. Idealy, I would love to replace my macbook pro with an iPad and use the iMovie app to process all of my home videos and then save to iCloud or an external hard drive. Is this possible?

Deleting the application from your /Applications folder is sufficient. There are sample projects in /Library/Application/Aperture you may want to get rid of as well, as they take up a fair bit of space.

Video converting and burning home videos

Do anyone know the best program to convert my sonyhandycam video files and then what software I should use to burn these home videos onto a DVD? Sony's software is not compatible with Mac and iMovie won't recognize them! iDVD is not on my Mac (just purchased a few weeks ago)!!

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD.

The latest iTunes and importing home videos?

The earlier itunes had an import option under file, but the one I just recently downloaded does not. I want to import a video file (and it is in a format itunes would recognize), but I cannot.

drag&drop only works if the video is already compatible (like MP4, M4V, MOV). If not, you need a third party tool.

With the new itunes I have to log off and on home sharing for my apple tv to see my library

Why do I have to log off and on to home sharing in itunes for me to see my library on my apple tv.
Is this a new item?
Thanks!!

My iPod Touch 4G suddenly went black screen and can't be recognized by iTunes or my computer...AND my Home Button is broken. What can I do?

I was just casually on my iPod and I put it in sleep mode really quick and when I went to use it again, it wouldn't pull up the Lock Screen! All I want to do is update it, but now I can't...anyone got any advice for this specific situation?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode ue one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- 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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Importing, converting and editing home video mostly

Guys - I am new to Apple. Please be patient !!
I basically need help . I shoot mostly family videos with my Sony cam (.mts format). I need basic conversion, editing and subtitling etc, but since my cam is HD, I would like to keep the quality. I have been disappointed by the poor quality of my .WMV files using "Flip".
I don't mind spending a bit of cash on this. In Windows, "Nero" comes in at around U$60, and is very flexible in file conversion, editing and DVD burning. Looking for similar.
Many thanks
Paul (PS - just downloaded Yosemite)

Possibly iMovie is all you need – except for the DVD part. You may have it already installed, depending on your Mac model; or you can get it for $15 from the App Store. You could then find a copy of the discontinued iDVD (part of the iLife suite, which is typically available at online retailers for roughly $40). Or purchase Roxio Toast ($100) to fulfill your DVD authoring needs.
Alternatively download the trial version of FCP X and see whether you like it. More expensive @$300, but it is a more powerful program.
Good luck.

I'm using Windows 8. I have 2 folders in my videos library - movies and personal videos. When I try to import a movie into iTunes, it puts it in the Home Video section and if I import a personal video, it puts it into the home video section. what up?

Im using Win8. I originally had all my ripped movies in a movie folder listed in the videos library. This imported into iTunes movies with no issue. I later added a second folder t my library - personal videos where i put all my home videos. I was able to import this into iTunes and it showed up in "Home Movies" - very cool and exactly what I wanted. Now, if I add a new ripped movie and put it in my movie librairy and try to import it into iTunes, it places it in Home Movies. And if I put a new personal video, it will also import into iTunes under 'Home Video?. What is going on here?? Any help would be greatly appreciated - it seems like this is a bug in iTunes 11.

I thank you for the response. Apple does some assinine things sometimes and this is one of them. Ask the planet the difference between a movie and a home video and with the exception of Apple, you'd get 100% consenus on the what difference is. A home video is something that I shoot, like my kids birthday party. A movie is something I urchased either via download or a DVD that I ripped. Unbelievable! The fact that Apple has chosen not to distinguish based upon which folder I tell it is Movies and which folder is Home Videos is really hard to fathom - sounds like something Windows would do. I find it funny that in my iTunes movies sub-section of the movies section, the movie icons have a cloud icon in upper right corner to distinguish it as bought from Apple iTunes versus no cloud icon for movies that I have ripped - so the distintion was already made and clearly visible. Now - everything just defaults to "home videos" if I try to import a new ripped DVD - why even bother to have this distinction on the iTunes bar? WOW!
As for your direction, I do not understand what you are telling me - what Media Kind and what Options tab are you referring to? I see no Options tab in iTunes. Right licking on the movie icon does not yield media kind or options as well. Gping to the source file does not yield these options either.
Thanks again for your help.

Converting dvds and home videos

Is there a way to convert dvd's recorded on the comp and also home videos to mp4? if so how i would like to watch them on the ipod

Pocket DVD Wizard is doing a good job for me with DVDs, and it also converts other types of video files. Was ~$30. Very easy to use wizard system. Most all the others I tried were very cumbersome, two-step processes.
