Movie titles sorting with "The"

I have over 1500 movie titlesd in iTunes and am not quite understanding how the sorting is occuring.
For instance, these movie titles are sorted under the title ignoring "The" :
The A-Team (filed under "A")
The Big Lebowski (filed under "B")
The Black Hole (filed under "B")
The Fast and the Furious (filed under "F")
And coutless others.
While all these titles are filed under "T" using THE as the first word in the title:
The Pursuit of Happyness
The Transporter
The Princess and the Frog
The Watch
As well as countless others.
There is no reason that I can see why iTunes would choose to do this with some, but not all. Make searching for movies quite a pain in the butt! Anyone know of a way to change this, one way or the other? I really dont care which way, either all the titles that start with THE are under "T" or all the THE is ignored and they follow the second available letter...
Anyone? Bueller?

By default iTunes takes values in selected fields such as Artist, Album Artist, Album, Name etc. that begin with an article (a/an/the, or local equivalents in other countries) and places the value without the article in the corresponding sort field. Hence The A-Team is normally sorted as A-Team. You can change the order by manually putting your preferred value in the sort field. So, at a guess, The Watch has The Watch in the sort name or sort album field. In principle if your delete the current value in the sort field you should get the default auto-sort entry.

ITunes movies no longer sync from Dell laptop or MacBook Pros (both authorized devices) to iPhone 6s or iPad Air 2s after configured at Apple store yesterday. In the past I could see the movies in iTunes with the cover photo and sync.

iTunes movies no longer sync from Dell laptop or MacBook Pros (both authorized devices) to iPhone 6s or iPad Air 2s after configured at Apple store yesterday. In the past I could see the movies in iTunes with the cover photo and sync to the other devices but now there is a listing a movies with no cover photos and in fact if I try to view the movie on the MacBook Pro it cannot be found unless I download it.

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty. That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

If there is an item in there drag it out.

Why aren't titles saved with the project? Where are they?

cs5 PC.
Why aren't titles saved with the project? Where are they? Can I get them to be saved with the project?

they aren't able to be exported as an entire bin folder ready for importing into another if needed.
Oh, but they are! You can select multiple titles, or even a bin containing multiple titles, and use the same File > Export > Title command. Premiere Pro will ask you where you want to save the first (and change the name, but it will default to the name given in the project), and then will automatically export all selected titles without further user intervention. You can import them en masse or in a folder (to create a bin automatically) into another project.

HT203164 Why won't the song titles transfer with the music when I burn to disc and play on another device?

Why won't the song titles transfer with the music whaen I burn to disc and play or copy to another program?

Thank you, reducing the image size worked! I had used a low res file before, and with success decided to increase the resolution/size, and then it didn't work. the image did appear in small preview in the export panel, but wouldn't burn when all was said and done. the dimensions you gave worked fine. unfortunately, it makes the image a little bit fuzzy, but i dont think i can do anything about this. at least it burned it in there. thanks!

My computer is all out of sort with the color and it is in like a negitative effect that i cannot seem to fix. How do i fix it?

Try System Preferences>Universal Access>Seeing>Display. See if White on Black' has been selected.
If so, select 'Black on White'.
Ciao.

I am trying to move my albums with the pictures to a flash drive but I get the pictures but not in the album.

How can I move my albums, including the title of the album , with the pictures to a flash drive. Every thing I try I only get the pictures but they are not in the album.

Create a folder on the Desktop with the ablum name. Then export the contents of your iPHoto album into that folder. Drag the folder onto the flash drive.

Basic vid work starts with the NLE or "non-linear editor" (too long to explain the name!) such as Premiere Pro. That's where you set up your timeline and do the basic chopping/blending of bits into the greater whole.
If your footage is the same as your needed output, great ... but if you're going into a specific output frame-size like this you might need to set your sequence settings BEFORE adding footage. Use the above list and only worry about frame-rate (the 29.97) and frame size/ratio of 1280x720 first.
Depending on how involved you need to get, you might use Speedgrade for "grading", the modification of the look of the footage ... color, contrast, gamma, all that ... and perhaps need to add graphics or "lower thirds" in After Effects. Both the later are complex programs in their own rights.
I checked out that link ... those ads are fairly complex bits of work. Some of the ones were mostly or all created with "stills", still-camera images placed on the timeline for set periods of time. Somewhat easier in some ways to work with for this as a starter as you can fit them to any crop you need. Others were a mix of stills and moving footage so those do take some care in what the original footage was shot at compared to what the requirements are you'll need to output it as. I think this would be MUCH easier to do on a timeline set for that frame-size to begin with, and conform any non-conforming footage to that on import to the project.
Next ... wow ... the graphics for these are pretty nice, and keyed for moving, transparency over vid below ... that sort of thing. That will take a few questions here or over on the AfterEffects forum I'm thinking. That could easily be the hardest part of this job. While some level of graphics can be made within PrPro, Ae is really much better for that sort of thing. And those are well past my experience ...

How to read the whole name of a music title while scrolling down a list of titles? With the new iOs7 Music App there is no more black box showing the entire name!

How to read the whole name of a music title while scrolling down a list of titles? The old software-app had the function to click for a longer time on a titles beginning letters until a black box revealed the entire name. I miss this function especially for my classical music, because lots of pieces start with similar words. E.g.:
"Beethoven: Variations On "Ein Mädchen Oder Weibchen", Op. 66 - Var. 1"
"Beethoven: Variations On "Ein Mädchen Oder Weibchen", Op. 66 - Var. 2"
Scrolling in a list of title, I can't distinguish the titles, because just the first words are shown followed by: "...".
That's horrible!

Or you could include a width to your body style:
body {
background-image: url(Logo/sky1.jpg);
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: fixed;
width: 75%;}
It might work or not depending on your other color scheme.

How can I change the frame around a title created with the Rectangle Tool?

In PrE 7, I have been creating titles (e.g.: Title > New Title > Default Still, etc.) for a long time and using the many ways to manipulate the text (type, color, size, animation, etc.). Today, I tried to use the Rectangle Tool (or the Ellipse Tool, or the Line Tool) and they created a beautiful 'frame' (like a picture frame: artistically designed and colored) and I can change the background color within the frame and place any text (also background picture, etc.) in it. However, I couldn't find any way to change the 'frame' or the general style of these title objects. Is there any way to do this, or this is the only design that can be created with these tools? I would greatly appreciate any help (couldn't find any in this u2u site). Thanks, Laci.

Laci,
Yes, you can apply Styles to several Rectangles (or other Shapes), to simulate a "frame." The Styles should appear as Text in the Styles Panel. Since you are working with Shapes, but viewing the Styles applied to Text, it is not perfectly intuitive as to what those Styles look like with the Shapes.
Personally, I find that doing things like "frames" in Photoshop and then Importing the PSD's into PrE is far, far easier. In that case, I would place the PSD on Video Track 1 (unless I wanted it to appear superimposed over my Video (like a PiP), and then do the text in a PrE Title, and place it above the PSD.
Here is an example:
This is a simple "picture frame" created in PS. I used a still image, instead of text in this case. These could be "wood-grained," "granite," etc.
Much more control and tons of Effects and Filters that can be applied.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - that is from PrPro, so the GUI will look quite different, but things work the same way.

Change in the way the library is sorted with the update 7.3

Am I crazy or the sort has drasticaly change with the new update 7.3 of ITune.
I used to put an exclamation mark before the artist in order to recognize the CDs I imported versus the one I downloaded or my other mp3.
With the 7.3 update I now have the same artist repeated 5 to 6 times even though the artist name is exactly the same. It looks like this:
!Pearl jam
Pearl jam
!Pearl jam
!Pearl Jam
Pearl jam
And then goes to a different artist.
Am I the only one with this problem and does anyone know how to fix this or can explain me what exactly is used in order to sort my library (both on my Ipod and my Itune)???
Thanks

Hi imjolly,
It was definitely the normal speedtester I ran and not the Beta Version.
However, I have just come back in and run speedtester again and the display iback to normal, viz :-
1. Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
Download Speed
2.57 Mbps
0 Mbps
4 Mbps
Max Achievable Speed
Download speedachieved during the test was - 2.57 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 1.2 Mbps-4 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 2.94 Mbps
2. Upstream Test: -provides background information.
Upload Speed
0.35 Mbps
0 Mbps
0.45 Mbps
Max Achievable Speed
So it looks like a one-off error. I could not afford to wait another hour to run another test before leaving this morning.
You say "just make sure that the errors don't start to affect your download speed". The hub stats and speedtester results suggest speed is consistently reliable at ~2.6Mbps. However, my wife was trying to place an online grocery order yesterday afternoon and she said it was so slow she had to quit and come back to it in the evening. So can these errors cause a short term drop in speed that will not be picked up by speed checks then ? If that is the case, what can be done to reduce the errors please ?

Losing music and movies while syncing with the new itunes 7!

Several times I have lost my movies and music when I have connected my ipod and it synced with itunes. I synced earlier in the day (or the day before in other cases) and it worked fine. I didn't change any options on the ipod. After I lose the files I click on my ipod in itunes and the sync check boxes have been unchecked. when I recheck the sync boxes it will reload all of my stuff but it is a hassel, especially if i'm in a hurry. I never had this problem with the earlier version of itunes. What is making it lose the files when I sync?

Are you syncing it to more than one computer? If so it is operating normally. If you want to sync to more than one, you must opt to Manually manage your music. If you opt to do this, then be sure you have a backup of your music somewhere other than your iPod as you might have to restore it.

Ap Div - How to make them move in browser with the rest of the page?

I have designed a site, but have placed an ap div "enrol now" button over an image, and when I view it in my browser, the ap div button does not move with the rest of the page.

The "view our gallery" ap div is working.
Please help.
(you can see where the enrol now button should appear as I have put it in the main image pic aswell as a guide.)

APDivs are very tricky to work with especially if use them inappropriately as a primary layout method.
