Itunes library fields for movies

Hi
I have an extensive iTunes movie collection which I have organised through iTunes. I have had to use the fields such as composer as director, and artist as the lead actor etc. Does anyone know of a way of editing the fields so for movies they show up more appropriately?

I for movies I usually put the director in the Artist field. However I generally don't use iTunes to tag my movie files since many of the fields used for things like screenwriter and cast are not visible in iTunes. I use an app called Subler. There is also Meta Z for tagging.

Apple TV will stream music but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts. During the unsuccessful connection process, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit.

Apple TV 3 will stream music via Home Sharing from iTunes on Mac running 10.6.8 but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts. When trying to connect, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit. ATV will stream movies purchased through the ATV but not those purchased through or ripped/copied onto the Mac. I've tried fixes suggested for similar problems (rebooting ATV and Mac, signing out then back into iTunes Store) to no success. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

This is the most bogus example of Apple rip-off EVER. They do not advertise this *feature* and yet expect people to invest in an Apple ECOSYSTEM? My experience with Apple TV using a central media "server" (a dedicated Mac Mini) has been atrocious. I continually get "Cannot connect..." messages and with typical Apple "it just works" mentality, there is no reason stated. I HATE APPLE TV and I HATE APPLE. Peddle your crapple somewhere else.

ITunes 5 looks for movie data when updating iPod...

I'm experiencing a very annoying problem in iTunes 5. When I plug in my iPod (4G) the songs are updated as they should, but then a message pops up saying something like this:
"Searching for movie data in movie archive "the name of the archive"
Then it says:
"The archive couldn't be found. Movie can't be played without the right archive"
And then you'll have to click "search" or "cancel". That is very annoying.
Why is iTunes suddenly searching for movies to play, when I'm updating my iPod?
How can I make it stop?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV 2 will play all the content in your iTunes library that your Apple TV 1 does. It can no longer sync any of it but can stream it all just as the older model did. Airplay is a different feature that lets you stream from an iPad/iPhone, the Apple TV 2 has Airplay the first didn't.
You can still sort and search content by genre, it still marks content watched and unwatched and mainly still lets you organise much as the Apple TV 1 did, with one exception. It doesn't do nested folders, so the ability to tag a movie as a show (ie James Bond) and have all the associated movies in a James bond folder has gone and it lists all these movies individually.
It has a similar situation with TV shows. It will put all TV shows in a series in a folder as the older one did, but the new one lists each series separately whereas the older model would put all the series in one folder.
Not nesting folders is a bit of a pain with large libraries and whilst I don't like it, it's more or less the only compromise I have to make and of course I get additional features too.

Need to make new iTunes library and not move any media

I have my iTunes folder on an external drive, and my iTunes library file was damaged. I need to import all of my media, but I don't want iTunes to make duplicates of everything. I cannot find an answer to this simple problem. Can anyone help?
By the way, I was very disappointed when I called Apple for support with the issue. Curtis told me my AppleCare (which he could not verify) expired yesterday, so he would get in trouble if he helped me. I bought my first Mac in 1994, have owned half-dozen of them since, several iPhones, an iPad, etc., and this is the first time I have heard anything besides, "How can we help you?" Once did a tech mention that the product I was actually calling about was outside of AppleCare but since I had other active AppleCare purchases, he was not worried about it.
Anyway, I feel like there is probably an answer out there, but I'm just not searching with the right keywords.

Hold down the option key and iTunes will ask you if you want to create a library, do so, putting it in the iTunes folder on the external drive where the damaged one is located. Then use File > Import to import the .xml version of the library in that folder. This will populate the new library with the contents of the old one, minus a bit of metadata and anything you may have just recently added. To double-check you can go to File > Add to Library and point it to the media folder and it will add everything that is in there. Anything that is already there from the earlier stage it will ignore. Anything it didn't catch the first time it will add.
In a big corporation people are bound more strictly by the rules, especially those low down the ladder. There's probably a piece of paper somewhere saying, "Do not provide assistance to those not covered by Applecare for the product they are calling about," and if a boss wanted to be sticky they could fire somebody for violating a rule. A sole proprietor might just say it's only a few extra minutes, no materials cost, and good PR, and they are the one making the rules and decisions.

How can I add Vender Batch FIELD for Movement Type 511

Hi, guys,
I tired to add a Vender Batch FIELD (LICHA) entry for Movement Type 511 through OMJJ/Field selection(Enjoy), but it's not allowed, is there any approach else to get it done? Thanks.
Michael

Hi,
Try this path as SPRO-Materials Management-Inventory management and physical inventory-settings for enjoy transactions-settings for goods movement(MIGO)--field selection per movement type.
If you add the field LICHA for movt 511.Make it optional or required entry whatever you want. It will come at the time of MIGO.

Is it possible to copy your itunes library, not completely move it?

my situation is kind of complicated so here goes the explanation. i have a cpu that multiple ipods sync with by using different playlists. i have a video ipod but just got a new cpu. i was wondering if there was a way to move just my playlist onto the new cpu. i dont need the play counts or anything, just the files of music. if not, i can move the whole library, but does that mean that the library gets deleted from the old PC? most (at least 80%) of the music is saved onto an external HD so what would be transfered? any help would be greatly appreciated =]

Can I transfer a iTunes library file for iPad apps to a new computer for syncing?

I would like to sync my wife's iPad to our new iMac. can we just move the appropriate iPad app files to the new computer?

You can transfer the apps while connected to the Mac and iTunes running by going from the iTunes menu at the top of the screen File>Transfer Purchases. This will put all of the apps into the iTunes library on the new computer.
This article will show you have to transfer the music from one computer to another one.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
You can also backup your entire iTunes library and restore it to the new computer which is the ideal way to do this. It is covered in the article above.
There are third party apps that allow you to transfer all of your iPad content to a new computer and itunes library as well.

I want to be able to see the names of all composers on my iTunes library interface, for all tracks and albums; how do I do that?y

can you help with my question?

Go to View > View Options, and check the box for "Composer."
This will create a column that displays the Composer field for each track, and will allow searching and sorting on that field.
Depending how carefully your library is tagged, you may find that the field is empty in some cases. If you wish to update it, right-click the track, Get Info, go to the Info tab and type in the correct information, then OK out.

Home sharing......
Itunes on all your devices, then turn on home sharing, and use the same apple id and password on all the devices, only upto 5 pc can be done using this as they need to be authorised to use your apple id.

How can I delete the duplicates in one go, rather than individually?I consoladated my iTunes library looking for a song I bought...my whole library is now duplicated. Thousands of songs and hundredes of podcasts.

I consolidated my iTunes library and now I have duplicates of everything, podcasts, songs, play lists...everything. How can I delete the whole set of duplicates at once. It is thousands of items I can not do them indiviually.
Thanks

I have 2 itunes libraries on my macbook, but can only access one. The itunes library file for the inaccessible library is subdued and won't open. Help?

When I select "Choose Library" the itunes library file is subdued. I copied the library file off of Time Machine and put it back in itunes, but it remains subdued. I'm running OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.4.1. Help?

I too had this problem and have solved it. After upgrading to iTunes 10.4.1 (Running OS X 10.6.8) I could no longer select library files. Previously, I would launch iTunes with the option key down to trigger the "Choose Library" dialog box. I have three libraries, each of them stored in separate iTunes folder within my user:music folder. I would then double-click on a given folder to open it and then double-click on the library file. After the 10.4.1 upgrade the library files were grayed out (not selectable). The problem was resolved by changing what and how I selected. When the three iTunes folders were displayed I clicked once on a folder to select it (instead of double-clicking to open it) and then clicked the "open" button in the dialog box. This resulted was iTunes launched with the library file contained in that folder.

Why does itunes download itunes extras twice for movies

Hi All,
I lost some movies so am having to re download again from the purchased section in itunes.
When i download i have been downloading all three versions of the film, sd, 720p and 1080p.
The problem i have it is downloads itunes extras for every version. The file is smaller in size for the sd which in understandable however the file is the same size for the 720p and 1080p so im guessing i have exactly the same files twice in the library.
Also when i look at my movies collection in itunes in shows the film three times! On one icon i can open either the extras or the film and on the other two icons only the extras. When right clicking on the extras icons it shows a file size on both which make be belive they are both sd versions!
Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks
