Organizing movies into folders

I have discovered that by setting the "Show" field of Video info to a name then when synced to the ATV I get a folder containing all the movies with that name. Is there any way this organization can also be reflected back in iTunes itself ?

If you mean on the iPhone-you can't.
Folders only for applications-not data or files.
If you mean sort them so they show as tv show title-season #-episode # in the iPod app, then you need to tag them in itunes and then sync them to the iphone.
Right click on the file in itunes-select get info-fill in the info.

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

Organizing apps into folders on computer

Is there an easier way of organizing my apps into folders on the computer other than dragging them between 5 screens? They are organized this way on my 3Gs, but when I synched my new 4S to iTunes nothing is in folders.

Organizing photos into folders on iPad

Forgive me if this has been asked a lot. I looked and could not find it but is there A way to put photos together in folders on the iPad and not through iPhoto on your computer? I downloaded iPhoto and thought that I could do it on there. Sorry if this is answered or simple. Thanks!

You can select and sync multiple folders from your computer to the iPad, and each folder will get it's own album on the iPad. You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad, and only the 'top' level of folder get albums i.e. sub-folders will be included in the parent's album.

I have been organizing my bookmarks into folders. There are a bunch of bookmarks that appear on the Bookmarks Menu that do not appear when I used the Organize Bookmarks option. Therefore I can't organize them. How do I get at them and move them to folders

I used Organize Bookmarks to put some bookmarks in folders. When I had done all the bookmarks that appeared outside of folders in the Organize Bookmarks window, I closed it and looked at my bookmarks menu. Under my folders were some other bookmarks that I hadn't seen in Organize Bookmarks and when I used it again, they still weren't visible. Therefore, I couldn't move them into folders.

Update - I discovered that the entire list of bookmarks can be accessed in the Organize Bookmarks window by clicking on the icon for Bookmarks Menu.
This seem like odd interface behaviour to me.
All the other software I use follows the pattern that an icon with a triangle to the left, which you click on to expand the menu tree downwards, shows the entire contents of the category when you click on the triangle. In other words, you don't get a different response by clicking on the icon from what you get by clicking on the triangle.
It also seems odd to me that when an unsorted bookmarks folder is automatically provided that unsorted bookmarks would not be placed there by default.
Anyway, by getting the list of bookmarks displayed this way I was able to simply right-click on items in the list and delete them, as I thought I should be able to do. Problem solved. Organize Bookmarks interface found to be somewhat unintuitive.

Spent an hour organizing my apps into folders and the iPad undid it all!?!?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue? I was very excited to finally be able to organize my apps into folders as I had tons of them and they wretched to navigate. I spent a long time getting them all set and where I wanted them and down to 2 pages total. I plugged the iPad in to charge using a wall charger (the one it came with) and 3 hours later the folders were all gone! I found this to be incredibly frustrating and among the worst experiences I've had with an apple product. My iPhone 4 certainly did not dump all its folders...

There is a secret as to why you are losing your folder arrangements.
They can automatically unpack on a sync.
We should all know there are screens off to the right of the valid eleven home pages. If your last page is full of icons and you inadvertently add another something is shoved off to the right. If you move home screens around using iTunes this also happens.
If any icon filled with apps falls off to the right it will unpack and make a mess. If you move a home page filled with folders which are filled with icons around you can lose them all as they will unpack when you sync to iTunes.
The best choice is to take the right most page and *MAKE SURE NO FOLDERS ARE EVER IN THE RIGHT MOST PAGE*. That gives you safety room from inadvertently scooting one or more folders into higher number screens. I place a few standard apps in the right most page to hold it in place.
*CREATING FOLDERS*
Second you are safer building your folders on the device itself. To do this I move everything off the bottom bar and use it as a placeholder (bus)to shuttle apps around as I figure out what group they should be added to. I have over 800 apps in 22 GB on the iPad now. Things are well organized and nice looking when scanning the home pages.
When setting it up I just added all the apps at once. Then as I made room on the home screens I paused made sure my 'bus' was empty, then shut down the iPad to power off and back on again. This cleans up memory and on reboot the iPad will add as many of the hidden apps to the space on your eleven home pages. There after it became a session of rinse and repeat until all the apps I wanted where filed away and arranged.
Use meaningful folder names.
*Apps from *****
There are some real junk apps that some how I managed to grab in the past. Others are surpassed by obviously more powerful and functional apps that have recently appeared so there is no sense in keeping them. If you delete them off the iPad they will reappear on the next sync unless you delete them from iTunes.
How do you remember to delete them from iTunes too? When I get to the delete confirmation screen I take a screenshot which is stored in my Photos roll. Then I browse that roll while before the computer and find each app that needs to be permanently deleted. After deleting it from the PC I then delete the reminder picture from the iPad.

Put iPod Touch icons into folders and organized all my apps. iTunes keeps erasing them.

Hi Everyone
   New iPod touch owner. I arranged my icons into folders for all my apps. But everytime I connect to iTunes it erases all my folders. And moves all my icons around. Anyway to tell iTunes or the iPod to not keep erasing all my folders and not to move all my icons around after I have organized them in the way I want.
   Thanks
Happy Summer

Hello Everyone,
    I finally figured it out. Did not know you had to be connected to iTunes and then you can drag icons around, put them into folders, delete any apps you do not want on your iPod Touch and more from within iTunes.
    When you done doing what you want, then iTunes syncs your changes to your iPod Touch. And your apps, icons, folders, will all be the same on your iPod Touch as they appear in your iTunes Library.
Happy Weekend

I want to consolidate all my songs bought under 2-3 different user ids and passwords into one so I can move them into folders and organize my music. How? and I do not have any of the old id's or passwords.

I have an older iPod one of the first touch screens. I bought music under more than one apple id and password. I got a Macbook last October and I just upgraded my old 3G phone to the new iPhone 5 (16 GB). All my music is on these devices but I cannot organize it. I tried to move songs into folders on my laptop but they would not go into the folder. I clicked on them and moved them by holding down the mouse. I think it is because they are from different accounts. Or am I moving them incorrectly? I have already created most of the folders like for Christmas music and workout. I just want to be able to manage all this.
I am technologically challenged so if you explain something you cannot skip a step. I am not even sure I picked the correct operating system below.
Thanks,

Organized iPod playlists into folders in iTunes, but not showing up when iPod is disconnected. Please help!

I organized my iPod touch playlists into folders in iTunes on my computer (while my iPod was connected to my computer) but when I disconnect and go to use the iPod separately, the playlists that I organized do not show up in the folders they were put into. They're still all jumbled up, rather than in the playlist folders. The folders show up on my iPod, but some are empty and some have a few but not all of the correct playlists in them. How can I fix this?

PLease note that you cannot organise ipod playlists or folders while it is NOT connected to iTunes, as you simply can't see them.
Yes you can.
If I'm not mistaken, this thread was started prior to the release of iTunes 11. iTunes 11 does "hide" Playlists and Playlist Folders, until you turn the Sidebar back on, using CTRL+S. Also, the top menu bar is useful, and that can be turned on with CTRL+B. However, that aside, nothing has changed regarding Playlists, You can (and have always been able to) create, alter and manage Playlists without having an iPod connected to iTunes. You then allow a Sync to synchronise those Playlists to the iPod.
So use CTRL+B and CTRL+S and make sure you have the top menu and the sidebar showing, like so;
Notice the Playlist Folder, that I've named "Test Folder". Inside it is a Smart Playlist ("Rating 1 star") and two regular Playlists ("Dummy list, do not use" & "Test list"). To create new ones of any of these items, click on the + symbol at the bottom of the iTunes Window (I've ringed it). You then see this:
So that sorts out creating and managing them in your iTunes Library.

It looks like ipod doesn't have a folder function which is unhelpful and user unfriendly.
That's not correct. At least, not as far as the Playlist Folders we have been discussing.
Once the Playlists are Synced to the iPod, looking in the Playlists section on my iPod Touch, shows this;
Notice the "Playlist Folder" (named Test Folder) on the list. Delving into that shows the three Playlists that we saw in iTunes. Notice the name of the Playlist Folder at the top, and the three Playlists in it, listed below (in alphabetical order):
One thing that may be of further use to you; while arranging my iPod to get the screenshots, I found that it took two attempts to get the Playlists fully Synced with my iPod (I use "Sync selected playlists" with it). So if your first Sync doesn't put everything onto your iPod, try a second Sync.

I recently had to reinstall my software for a
dell computer a dell latitude d 830, then after installing all of my software and such including itunes the player did well even record to disks with no problems now that my system has done alot of updating of system files....now the itunes does not burn to my cd...error message 2131 this time
The 2131 usually indicates firmware needs to be updated on a drive.
Head to your drivers and downloads page for your latitude at Dell, and check for updates to your firmware for your optical drives. If you're behind and you update, does that clear up the 2131?

How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

You can sort by using the search feature. When you are in your mail account you use the search bar at the top to find emails from a particular sender (there are Other options as well in search). Type in that sender's address. When the emails show up in the window on the left side, select all of the emails that you want to move. Tap Edit at the bottom and the Move Folder icon will appear. Tap that icon and select the folder that you want to move the emails into.
To move multiple emails without using the search to sort, go to your inbox and tap Edit. Then select all of the emails that you want to move. After you are done selecting them, tap the Move icon at the bottom on the left side of the account window. When you tap move, you get a choice of folder into which you can place the selected emails.

Trouble with Files organizing into Folders.

I am really frustrated with Itunes today. I am trying to reorganize my library from scratch. All of my music is saved to an external Hard Drive, from which I will be pulling music from and adding it back into my Itunes library. My problem is that I can't stand it when Itunes organizes my music into folders.
Artists > Albums > Songs. I dont want this. I just want all of my tracks to be in one folder, organized by name. Now I when I go to preferences and under te advanced tab, the "Keep Itunes Media Folder Organized" box is UNCHECKED. And it is still organizing my songs into folders when I add my music to itunes.
I am pulling my hair with frustration on this one and I dont know what to do... PLEASE HELP!

I'm suddenly having this problem also. "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" have NEVER been checked.
On March 2, 2012, iTunes updated and now all the songs that were in my Singles folder were renamed and moved into individual Artist folders that never previously existed. I now have 1000s of Artist folders with a single song in each. I also now have 1000s of exclamation marks in front of the songs in my library because iTunes can't find the songs it moved!
I've spent several days reversing what iTunes has done and I'm still not finished. I'm also concerned about the next iTunes update destroying my days and days of work by moving my music again.
How do I prevent iTunes from renaming/moving my music files when I'm not allowing the program to do that in the first place?
