Music Videos into Music Video menu on iPod

OK - so for years now I've been buying CD singles with the videos on, and spend many hours now converting them to iPod using QT Pro so I can finally watch them on my iPod. So converting to an MP4 using the H.264 codec took forever (at least 3 hours for a 4 min 320x196 video), so I opted for the standard MP4 as this is much quicker. Drop them into iTunes and YAY! I can sync them.
The music videos play flawlessly - I'm very happy with that aspect, but the bit that annoys me the most is why they don't show up under the Music Videos sub menu in Videos. Instead I have to go to Movies and then to a play list I created called Music Videos.
Perhaps its because of the genre? Well thats what I thought - as after looking at a friends music video he has bought from the iTMS, the only difference I can see is the genre. So I added Music Video to the genre and synced my iPod, expecting them to all of a sudden appear in that sub menu. But alas no.
So the question: is it possible to get home ripped/converted music videos from CDs or elsewhere onto the iPod to display in the Music Videos menu? If not WHY WHY WHY??!
thanks in advance.

After you convert a video and put it into itunes it is defaulted to being a movie.But you can specify it as a music video. Select a music video within your itunes library. Select the info for that video. A seperate window appears. Go to the options window and winthin that area you can select what type of video that certain file is whether a movie or music vidoe. Select the proper video type and then that converted video will appear within the music video field on yoru itunes and ipod after syncing.

Are .mp4 files not supported when trying to merge 2 videos into 1 video?

Are .mp4 files not supported when trying to merge 2 videos into 1 video? The steps in the manual seem simple enough. But the paste function won't work on the 1st video after selecting all and then copy on the 2nd video.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

Itunes Reclassified Videos into Music!!!

Itunes performed an automatic gapless playback analyis and marked ALL my videos as music. Moving them from the tv shows, movies section into the music one. Now, right clicking on properties does not produce the video tab anymore... any way to solve this without reloading from my PC?
Thx...

Trying to put videos into "Music Videos" section

I have some music vid that i'd like to put into "Music Videos" section of latest iTunes for win7 64bit I'm able to inport them into iTuens fine but i sync they end up in movie section of iPod, makes sense as this is where iTunes store them, but there does not seem a way of moving them into the "Music Videos" section, have done some searching and tried a few methods like right clciking them and changing the media kind to Music video's but this then bung the ideo files in with my itunes and i don't like it that way, can anyone shed some light on ways of doing this please.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply turingtest2, that sounds almost perfect for me but is there anyway to make them appear in Music Videos but keeps them out of the "Music" section as in my mind i like to keep mp3/aac and any video format separate, does that make sense to you?
No, for your iPod to see them as Music Videos they have to be given the Media Kind "Music Video", which in turn determines their appearance elsewhere in iTunes & your iPod. Organise the videos like any other album and you can choose whether or not you want to play it at any time. Add the "skip when shuffling option" for example to prevent the tracks playing when you're shuffling your library. Yes in an ideal world the sections (sources) in iTunes would tally with the sections on your iPod, but what you see is what you get.

I need help getting this video into itunes and on my ipod.

i don't know if this is possible...
the band the films have a new music video "black shoes" on their website. www.the-films.com i got it on my computer and it plays as a movie in quicktime, but i can't figure out how to get it into itunes and on my ipod, if that's possible. i tried to open it in imovie and i couldn't get that to work either. any help would be awesome. thanks.

To get it into iTunes go to file-->add to library and find the file.
Try opening quicktime and open the file. Does it play there? It has to be able to play in QT otherwise iTunes will not accept it.

Itunes split my music files into Music and Other

My computer crashed and closed Itunes. When it came back up, it started "verifying my device." Then it said there was some sort of error. When I could actually open my device about half of my 15gb I'd loaded is still music. The other half is labled as other, and does not seem to be able to be accessed, yet the used memory is the same as before the incident.
Can someone please help me?

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
"Other" is the measure of used space on the iPod not taken up by Audio, Video & Photos. This includes the iPod's library and artwork plus any files you may have copied to your iPod in disk mode. The overhead for the library & artwork data is typically 1-2% of the size of the media, e.g. for 100Gb of Audio & Video expect to have around 1.5Gb of "Other". This information is needed for the iPod's operation and cannot be removed.
If you have significantly larger amounts of "Other", not related to files you've intentionally placed on the iPod, then these are probably disconnected copies of your media files or iPod libraries left over from failed sync operations. The only way to recover the space is to do a full restore.
If you have copies of all your media in your iTunes library this isn't a problem, but if you've been manually managing the content then I guess you'll want to try to recover the files from it first. See this post by Zevoneer on transferring files from the iPod to your computer. Some of the tools rely on the iPod having a healthy library which yours obviously doesn't however the manual method mentioned towards the end of the post would work.

In my email I could send you a picture what my iPod shows me.

How Do Embed a YouTube Video into the Video Gallery Lightbox Widget

I just downloaded the VGL widget at Video Gallery Lightbox | Exchange | Adobe Muse CC . I'm able to change the picture but have not figured out how to embed the video. The instructions say it can be changed "via an "insert html" but when I do this I just get another video inserted into the page. Help!!!

Select the composition and go to composition options > enable "show lightbox parts while editing".
Now select the target container and remove existing video and insert video html in that container. This way you can change the videos.
Thanks,

How to put a video into Music.app?

I'm using an iOS 5.1 iPhone. A music video can appear both in Video.app and Music.app. How to make a regular video become like that? (Actually it's a music video, but iPhone don't know that.) I want to listen to that video.

Computer Crashed,how do I get music back into itunes w/o erasing Ipod?

My computer crashed, and I had to get a new hard drive. I was able to save all of my music on cd, and it is all still currently on my Ipod. I have downloaded Itunes again, but how do I upload all the music on my ipod into Itunes without it automatically erasing my Ipod when I plug it in? Am I able to save my play lists when I reload my music to Itunes?
Dell PC Windows XP

If you are using the iPod in manual update mode it is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes after reinstalling your operating system. However if your iPod is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual.
You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
While you can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, if you want to check this out, there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from an iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward and will copy songs and playlists.
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
PodPlayer Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

Convert video into iPhone video?

I have a lot of videos that I'd like to send over to my iPhone.
Problem is that most (if not, all) do not open in iTunes so I they will not get transfered over to the iPhone.
Is there any free mac software out there that can convert almost any video format into iPhone (.mp4)?
MacBook Pro & iPhone 8GB Mac OS X (10.4.10) 2ghz Core Due

Open Itunes, then click on Movies in the Libray on the left panel. The drag your video in the box. If you have one or ten clips, you can highlight them all if you want. Go to Adavnce at the top and then drop down to Convert selection for Ipod and you are done. You may then want to delete to original file. This coverts your file to mp4 format.
You will have two files the same name. Highlite one of them and then hold control and click or right mouse click you have have a box open up, then go to info and read the summary and it will tell you which file, either Quicktime or mp4. Highlite the QT file and hit delete. There you have it. Good Luck.

How do I open a .m4a file from Mail into Music app?

How do I open a .m4a file from Mail into Music app?
I mixed down a song from my band's latest session and saved it as a .m4a file (Apple AAC Audio format) and I e-mailed it to myself. Then on my phone I opened the e-mail message in Mail and held a long-press down on the attached .m4a file. But I do not see the option to open it up into the Music app. It only gives me the options of iMovie, WeChat, and USB Disk. Why would I want to open it up in those? It's a song. It should open up into the Music app so I can play it. What the heck?
Please don't tell me that I have to use iTunes to do this and sync my phone to my computer, because I *do not* want to add these songs to my iTunes library. They are *practice session tracks* that I want to listen to then delete later when we have new versions.
If there is no way to open them into the Music app, then is there a music player app I can get somewhere that will let me simply save audio files from Mail into it, and use it as a player for those songs? That's all I want to do.
The only reasonable workaround I have found so far is to save them as .mp4 audio files, which the iPhone thinks are movies, so it lets me save them into the camera roll as Videos.
Voice Memos would be acceptable as a place for them to be able to open into as well, but of course that's also not on the options list. Sigh.

Why is that such an issue for you?
Why do people insist on replying to threads without even reading the original post? I explained it there already!
I don't have to use iTunes to save an image from Mail into my camera roll, or to save a PDF from Mail into iBooks. Why should I have to use iTunes to save a music file into Music app?
But I'll repeat it since evidently you can't be asked to read the original posts before spamming a thread with questions that have already been answered. I *do not* want to add these songs to my iTunes library.
My iTunes library is a sacred temple into which I only allow to enter the very best and highest-fidelity musical recordings of all time. I refuse to sully and soil my iTunes library with crappy practice mixdowns from my band, etc.
Want to know why? Because I like to be able to hit "shuffle all" on my iTunes library and know that something that will improve my existence will emanate forth from this amazing device that I have invested thousands of dollars into (yes, I count my cell phone plan amongst the expenses).
I shall not have the crappy burner mixdown tracks from my band's practice sessions come up every five songs (we generate TONS of these... literally hundreds... and they are all high-bitrate .m4a tracks in the 10-15 MB range). I let iTunes keep my music folder organized on my computer. It makes copies of everything being placed into it, and I don't want 159 GB of copies of burner tracks hiding like roaches throughout my temple. We don't name these files anything sensible (in fact the guy who mixes them down intentionally gives them random weird names) and they lack metadata. So there's no easy way to delete them back out of iTunes once they're in there. It's a huge pain; I used to do it, but I swore it off years ago and *I'm never going back!*
The REAL question is, why does Apple force me to have to use iTunes—the most convoluted, kludgy piece of bloatware ever to issue forth from Cupertino—to do something as simple as adding an MP3 from Mail into the Music app on my phone? Why can't there be something simple—something equivalent to the Camera Roll inside the Music app, not only for the files I want to save from Mail, but also for my Garage Band exports, not to mention all the exports from all the various synthesizer, drum machine, and recording apps I use on a daily basis in iOS?
It would be awfully nice to be able to play the songs I've recorded right in the Music app without having to go through the rigamarole of adding those files to my iTunes library, tagging them with metadata, syncing, etc. etc. yadda yadda yadda—just to delete them again as soon as I've synced so they don't pollute my computer's iTunes library!
I bought Apple for ease of use, not so I would be forced to jump through a million hoops just do to something that ought to take one tap to accomplish! That's ridiculous!

Cannot upload videos into itunes library!

sorry if this is the wrong place to post or something, but i'm in desperate need of help!
i can't seem to upload any of my own videos into itunes video library. i heard that i'm supposed to drag the file into the library but when i do that it just stays the same and nothing happens. i tried to reformat the video files to MPEG but it still doesn't work.
Can someone please help me?
PS. I'm using Ipod video

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Open Quicktime. Try to open the video through that. Does it open and play in Quicktime?
Also, right click on the video file. Go to properties. What is the file type/kind?
You will most likely need to use a 3rd Party Converter, as iTunes will only accept videos that are compatible with Quicktime.

Can I cut a video into dozens of smaller ones?

Good day,
the effect I'm trying to get is really hard to explain,
the idea is that I'm trying to cut up this one big video into 2frame videos. Like this
Is there any action or chance that I can do it for all of the video and not do it by hand?
I've tried searching online, but I haven't found anything.
I'm using Premiere Pro CS6.
Thank you!

If you are covering the 26 frames that would have been shown on V1 that are below the 26 frame sections on V2, you don't have to remove the section on V1 - it will just be covered by the Video on V2.
Then you can do this:
Make a new sequence.
Put the complete clip that goes on V1 on V1.
Put the complete clip that goes on V2 on V2 (V1 is now hidden by V2).
Go to the effects pane Video Filters > Stylize > Strobe Light and apply the Strobe Light effect to the clip on V2.
Click on the clip on V2 to select it, and then click on the Effects Control Pane.
Set the Strobe Parameter to Makes Layer Transparent
Adjust the Strobe Duration to .9 and the strobe Period to 1.8.
Depending on the horsepower of your computer, you may have to render this effect before you can see it playback.

I read your entire message, and my mom's iPhone 5 does this exact same thing. When the idiot at the AT&T store transferred her data (well, most of it) to her new phone, he DID NOT use her latest iCloud backup like he should have, but used some features in "Bump" to move things across. So, in my opinion, it's not worth the hassle of restoring it as a new device as Tim suggests. That's just the easy answer. Here's something odd about hers. It seems to do this, when she's using her bluetooth earpiece (a Jawbone Icon), but not when she's got bluetooth disabled on the iPhone 5 and holding down the "Home" button to activate Siri. If she uses her Jawbone bluetooth earpiece to activate Siri, the answer that Siri presents on the phone's screen will only stay on for about five seconds, then dim, then go blank -- and she has to "swipe to unlock" and, of course, the Siri information is gone. Not so if she uses the Home key to activate Siri.
