Missing movie genre artwork

Hi,
I am experiencing issues with my 'Action & Adventure' genre Artwork for my Movies in iTunes. The mentioned artwork is missing (as detailed in the picture below).
I am currently running iTunes 11.0.2 however I have been experiencing this issue for a while including previous versions and I have also tried un-installing and re-installing.
If you go to 'Get Info' and change the films with genre from the iTunes pre-set of 'Action & Adventure' to either 'Action', 'Adventure' or 'Action and Adventure' then iTunes will display the Album Artwork as can be seen below;
I am not computer savvy when it comes to reading code or anything but I have also looked within the 'genres.plist' to see if there was anything different between Action & Adventure to Kids & Family and Sci Fi & Fantasy as all use the '&' in their name and the latter display the Album Artwork correctly.
Nothing stands-out as being different, although I am far from knowledgable. But scerenshots of my 'genre.plist' can be seen below;
Any ideas on how I can get my 'Action & Adventure' artwork to display correctly with the '&' sign in the title?
Cheers

Hey, I am having a similar problem with some imported music from CDs, including Michael Jackson...I clicked "Get Album Artwork" and it gave me some other random artist with the name Michael. And now it says I can't delete it.
Can someone please help me out,
Carla

Movie Genres

iTunes obviously has some preloaded movie genres. If you add a new movie and select the right genre it shows the iTunes icon for that genre when the "Genres" tab is selected. If you enter a genre that is not preloaded into iTunes (such as "Suspense"), it just gives the icon of whatever movie you have labeled as "Suspense". Is there a way (other than trial and error) to find out what genres are preloaded into iTunes and is there a way to form custom genres that have the same icon format as the preloaded genre icons?

Find the artwork you want in the proper shape. Label it "genre-xxxxM.jpg". (Replace xxxxx with the genre name you want. Drag it into the resources folder I mentioned above.
Click on the genres.plist file in the same folder. It will open in Text Edit.
Add the following for each genre you want to add:
<dict>
<key>matchString</key><string>xxxxx</string>
<key>resourceFile</key><string>genre-xxxxx.jpg</string>
<key>kind</key><string>movie</string>
</dict>
Use the tab key to align the new entry with the others, and save the file. You can insert the new entry between any of the original entries.
If you want an image for music genres, do the same thing, but do not put the "M" in the image title and do not add the "<key>kind</key><string>movie</string>" line in the .plist file entry.
Restart iTunes and enjoy your new images. Keep in mind that an iTunes update will replace all your hard work, save a copy of the new "resources" folder separate from your iTunes application.
Thanks for your question. Gave me a couple hours of work this afternoon. I found some good .jpg
files using Google Image Search.

Is is possible to customize movie genre options?

is is possible to customize movie genre options? At the moment there are a limited amount of options for genres in itunes. I have several more genres than are accounted for ie comedy drama as well as comedy, for which I would like to set a custom icon . I would also like to, for instance, set a genre for a specific movie star. Not giantly important in the scheme of things of course, but it would look much nicer in apple tv.
any suggestions appreciated.
thanks

I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone?

I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone 5. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel and are checked to select them. But they do not show up in iPhone Videos. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone? I recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.6.8

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

Missing movie files in iPhoto 08

I have just noticed that in some of my events the movie is missing (the last six). In checking the finder I see that the actual file is missing too. The only changes I have made is to upgrade to snow leopard and I got a magic mouse. There are .mov files in other folder and the movie shows in the iPhoto. I noticed this because the magic mouse wont open the movie files in iPhoto.
So I have two problems: One: where have my recent movies gone that were once iPhoto. (They are not in iMovie and I have checked Time Machine) and two: why wont my mouse open a movie in iPhoto.
Any help will be great!

When you Control-click on one of the missing movie's thumbnails and select Show File from the contextual menu what do you see?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

How do I print a list of movies with artwork by title

I can't believe that after all the years iTunes has been out that they have not fixed this glitch. I want to print a list of my movies, with artwork. The problem is, although iTunes shows that my movies are sorted by Title, the print insists on sorting them by Artist. This just won't work as the Artists contains a list of the actors in the movie. iTunes also does not give you the option on what to include or exlude when printing a movie list.
Are there any 3rd party apps out there that can import the movie database, with artwork, and print a grid list?

So I think I have figured out a work around last night. When I look at the "Get info" on a movie and go to the Sorting tab, I just need to copy the Name into the Sort Artist field. My movies finally print in alphabetical order with artwork. Now if only Apple would fix that glitch at some point.

Missing movement type data in 0IC_C03 cube

Hi Gurus ,
i have deltas running for 0ic_c03 cube in B1 7.0 i have used transformations for loading cube .
In a report of this cube for plant material stock, i can c the quantities matching with MB51 report of R/3 where as the values are not matching for sum material ( negative stock values with 0 qtys )
i found that a movement type 121 data is missing in BW
i have read thread on the forum suggesting to work on OMJJ transaction and make 121 movement type as statistics relevant.
But i want to know how this action will effect on R/3 update controlling ?
any inputs will b a grt help
Edited by: Rajesh Dalwadi on Jan 13, 2009 12:09 PM

Hi,
We faced lot of problems with missing movement type, fo that we taken correct confirmation from MM team and then added it in Update Rules and deleted the data in Cube and then Re-Initialized the Cube.
To do this, you need ECC Down Time. I'm talking about BW 3.5. I think in BI7, it may be easy, (without taking down time, pls check).
Thanks

Movie genres not working in UK

Since updating to 7.0.2 the movie genres option doesn't seem to work.
How do I select movies to rent or buy if I can't browse the genres?

Apple Support's response was to restart my router and Apple TV.
Unfortunately this has not solved the problem.
Movie genres still not working for me here in UK.
I guess we will have to wait for a fix at Apple's end.

ITunes changing movie genre

I appears that iTunes Rev 11.1.5 and earlier has been changing my DvD movie genres in my library. I can set the genre and come back weeks later and they all seem to default to Action & Adventure which happens to be the first custom genre in my list. This issues has been happening for several iTunes revs now. I have a large movie collection so going back and reentering the genres is not a solution. The issue voids me of any genre sorting.

1. iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTumes Media folder when adding to library [ CHECK ]
2. Do a iTunes menu File > Library > Organize Library... > Consolidate files
and then try again.

Movie Genre not showing

I have iTunes 11.0.1 on an iMac. When I import an MPEG4, then select "Get Info", the genre category shows only music genres and I can't get the movie genres; how do I change this?
The Media Kind under Options is set to "Movie"...

You type the Genre you want to the Movie to be into the Genre text field.

ITunes movie Genres

How can I create a movie genre in iTunes?

Right-click (or Control-click) on the movie and select Get Info from the pop-up menu. In the panel that opens, click on the Info tab. At the bottom of the panel you will see an item labelled "Genre". Type a genre name in the box to create a new genre, or click on the down pointing arrow to reveal genres already in place.

Missing movie files in my project since iOS 8 and iCloud Photo Library

Hello all,
I've been to New York at the start of 2014 and created an awesome movie project in iMovie for iOS. That was when iOS 7.1.2 was the most current release. Today, I wanted to finish up my project. I'm currently running iMovie 2.1.1 on iPad air 1 running iOS 8.1.2 and iCloud Photo Library is enabled since day one. I Opened the project today and iMovie told me there are missing movies in the project and offered me to search for them. It only found 2 out of 140 or something. Now my project timeline is filled with clip with exclamation marks and many transitions with pictures in them are missing too. I tried to download clips that are in iCloud by tapping the Cloud icon but iMovie still cannot find them. Ive also tried importing from iCloud drive, disabling iCloud photo library and syncing the movies from iPhoto using iTunes on my iMac but iMovie cannot link them to the project. I'd hate to see hours of editing work to go down the drain.
Hope someone can help.
RF

Ok, so sinc you turned iCloud photo library, that automatically delets all of your current photos. I found that out the hard way. I'm sorry to hear that your editing has gone to waste. It is still odd that some media was saved though.

Movie poster Artwork Out-of-Focus and blurry?

Is anyone having a problem with movie poster artwork imported into itunes (added in the get info menu area for artwork) that now appears "blurry" or "out-of focus" in cover flow, etc. and the synced version in appletv. This happened right after upgrading to 8.0.1. My previous movie posters are just fine that were imported "prior" to upgrading to itunes 8? What gives? They are somehow blurry or low-res?

I downloaded photos into iphoto
From where? Again, what are typical pixel dimensions of those photos that show blurry, i.e. how small are they?

Organizing Kid's Movies (including artwork) under TV Shows

With two young kids, I'm trying to keep all their programs together. So I created a "Kid's Movies" TV Show under the TV Shows tab in iTunes. I keep all the movies under the "Kid's Movies" heading o that I can access them easily.
The problem I have is with the artwork. When I click on the artwork to show all movies - the artwork defaults to the first movie in the list; and all other movies show the same artwork. I have artwork for each movie - I just can't get it to show.
This is also the same for my AppleTV. When I scroll through my movies - the artwork doesn't change - the only artwork that is shown is for the first movie.
Suggestions???
