Seperating movies and music videos

when I download music videos and videos, they all just go to the videos file. How do I put the music videos in the music videos file?

Right click on a file, select "get info" then "video".
Then select an appropriate option from the "video kind" box.

  • My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

    My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.

  • Movie and music video previews won't completely play

    Movie and music vid previews will only partially play then simply stop before the end, sometimes 1 min of a 3 min preview. In my preferences, streaming buffer size is set at large -- is there some other place where I can set a cache or buffer size to allow these to play all the way through?
    Thanks,
    LAM

    Not answered, but looks like there is no answer.

  • How can you make the iPod tell the diff between a movie and music video

  • Error message when trying to play movies and music videos

    I am getting the below message on my TV screen when i try to play movies via my iPad device through airplay. The irony of it is that I watched a whole movie before this problem developed.
    "This content requires HDCP for playback. HDCP  is not supported by your HDMI connection. This content required HDCP for playback"

    Make sure your HDMI connection is secure, try a reboot

  • Cannot play purchased movies or music videos on ATV3 via AirPlay

    Music, photos, and mirroring work fine.  When I try to play purchased movies and music videos from iTunes, I get "Operation could not be completed -3".  Everything is updated to the latest iOS.  The router is a Belkin N450DB wireless on factory settings.  This location also does not have internet, just the home wi-fi network.  I have even plugged the ATV into the router via ethernet and still no video.  I have tried and gotten the same results with iPhone 4s, iPad 3, PC laptop with iTunes with same Apple ID as ATV. 
    If it makes a difference, I setup, updated, and added my Apple ID to the ATV from a different location with internet, but moved it after I thought it had been set up.  Thanks in advance for any tips, I am clueless!!

  • How do you move movies and music to ipad mini ios 7 from linux computer?

    I hope that someone can please help. I have two children, ages six and 10. They previously used nabis but I've bought them both ipad minis. They would like to put their movies and music on them. They would like to be able to watch movies when we take a long car ride, etc. They have wifi versions and no 4g so they would be away from an internet connection. They have movies ripped from dvds they own, and music from ripped disney cds. They do not have a working portable dvd player anymore as it has been a long time since they needed one. They have a "boom box" style cd player but not handy for a car. The thing is, they both want to do different things in the back seat.
    I only have linux (kubuntu 13.10) on our laptops and desktops.
    I know that there are only a few file formats that the ipad can read for music and movies, but converting those isn't a problem.
    I tried buying a "dongle" for a micro sd card, but that didn't work. At least I couldn't figure out how to make it work. The ipad would never recognize it.
    Everything on the web said to just use the music software on the linux pc, such as Banshee, etc. But when I plug in the ipad mini to the computer I get a loop of "trust this computer?" that just keeps happening. I see that is a common thing now.
    I tried installing itunes in a virtual drive on my laptop, but I could never get it to work. I progressed back through several versions of itunes and tried using PlayOn linux but it never worked.
    I have never used itunes so I don't really know how it works. Is there anyway to upload to it through a web browser or something like that?
    I tried an ap for the ipad called "file master." WIth that, I could send mp3 and movie files to the ipad through a web browswer based connection on wifi. The ipad could open the music and movie inside that ap, but could not see it through the music or video player aps, those said that itunes was empty. The problem with this is that it crashes. It will play a few seconds of a song and crash to the home screen. Some songs it plays OK, others it crashes as soon as you click. This isn't going to work well for kids in the back seat.
    In the "file master" ap I can see folders for things like "music" and "downloads," and I can move files around in those directories, but the built in music and video aps never see the files.
    I tried drop box. That works OK. Again, music will play inside the drop box ap, but the ipad doesn't "see" the music in the music ap. The problem here is that I only have about 3 gigs worth of drop box space, and I bought my son as 64 gig ipad mini. I'd like to be able for him to use that space. So this is limited by the space of the drop box account. So not a great solution. But at least a partial solution.
    I can't find an ipad ap for ubuntu one.
    I tried icloud, but there doesn't seem to be anyway to upload files to it from the pc.
    There is something called "icloud match" that is $25. I get the impression that this looks at the songs you have ripped from your own cds and matches those to the itunes store and lets you download from there. Would this work? I'm kind of grumpy about the idea of paying $25 to see if it will let me move my own files to my own tablet.
    I've tried several other aps from the ap store that were music players, but they all seem to be looking for itunes. I could not get any to find an mp3 file that I moved to the ipad through the "file master" ap.
    So, I can't get itunes to work, and I can't get the ipad to connect to a computer.
    Surely there has to be some way to do something as simple as move a file to a tablet. I'm afraid there must be some simple answer that I'm just overlooking so I've come to beg for help.
    Thank you.

    Just in case anyone in a similar situation finds this by google or something in the future.
    I found a work around.
    I think that my troubles with the file master ap were probably from mp3's that got corrupted in the transfer.
    I went back and tried it again and it has been working flawlessly to transfer music and movies.
    It is a free ap from the ap store.
    When you open it, it gives a url for the ipad that you open in a web browser and just upload the files you want moved.
    You just watch the video or listen to the music from the file master ap itself. It doesn't integrate it into the stock aps.
    The up-side is that you don't have to worry about the limitations on video files, it plays multiple video formats.
    The downside is that it is transferring the files through wifi so it is as slow as Christmas.
    But it isn't a problem really just to send a batch of files over. Just be patient.
    So a usb connection would be much faster and preferable, but this works.

  • Is there a way to make Movies and Home Videos show up in different sections on the apple tv instead of showing the home videos mixed in with the movies?

    I have several movies and home videos stored in itunes, when viewing these on appletv, it mixes all the movies and home videos together.
    I would like to beable to select either Movies or Home Videos when viewing on the Apple TV if this is possible...?

    You have 2 options:
    1. Create Video Playlists in iTunes (for example create one for Home movies, the other for Movies)
    You COULD make these Smart Playlists. (see below for one technique)
    NOTE: If you wish to do this don't miss the preference in Settings to enable Video Playlists at least  (at least in the latest ATV updates) I believe it's under Audio setting. Amazingly the default is NOT to show!! (had me going for quite a bit)
    2. Set up your Home Movies as "Music Videos" This has some gotchas:  like you'll probably want to choose the skip when shuffiling, also Now they'll appear in music lists. The only advantage to this is that it makes playlists more available on iOS devices since there are no Playlists displayed in the Videos App.... (yeah Apple's made this WAY confusing of late)
    If you wish to keep these clearly defined (especially for use with Smart Playlists.
    Select the movie
    Get Info (Edit Menu) (or Command-I Mac, Control-I, PC)
    Choose the "Video" Tab - you can select your desired type from the Media Kind pop up.
    Alternate method for setting up smart playlist of home movies would be to set the Genre to "Home Movie"
    Probably more than you needed to know - leigh

  • HT1660 Can I play movies and music from my external hard drive or do I have to re-instll them on my computer?

    Can I play my movies and music from my external hard drive or do I have to reinstall it on my computer?

    Hello B3NN13,
    If you would like to add the music from your external hard drive to iTunes without copying it to the iTunes Library on your internal hard drive, you may find the following article helpful:
    Add files to your library without adding them to your iTunes folder
    When you add an item already on your computer to your iTunes library, iTunes places a copy of the file in your iTunes folder. The original file remains in its current location.
    You can change this setting so that files are added to your iTunes library without being added to the iTunes folder. You might want to do this, for example, if you prefer to store video files on an external disk but still want to view them in iTunes.
    Choose iTunes > Preferences, and click Advanced.
    Deselect the checkbox next to “Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library.”
    From now on, when you drag a file to your library or choose File > Add to Library, the item appears in iTunes, but the actual file isn’t copied or moved.
    Tip: You can temporarily reverse this setting by holding down the Option key while you drag files to the iTunes window.

  • HT201269 I am trying to transfer Music and Music Videos from an iPad to a new iPad 4.  I tried the backup route and everything transferred except the music and music videos.  I don't want to do that again because it will mess up other applications. Any su

    I have switched to a new iPad and transferred all the needed aps, included some high-priced ones for my business.  The only thing I can't do is get my music and music videos to move.  I originally tried to backup the old unit and restore to the new unit  and this was successful for a lot of the aps, it didn't work for the music.  It also messed up several aps that I had already initialized on the new unit and I had to go through the whole process again.  How can I move my music without damaging other aps?
    Thanks for any help.

    The contents of the Music and Videos apps aren't included in a device's backup. If you don't have them on your computer's iTunes library then if they are iTunes purchases then you should be able to copy them back from your old iPad via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to your new iPad. If some/all of them are not iTunes purchases and you don't have them on your computer nor on your backup of your library then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • I have a first generation apple tv synced to a itunes library on an external USB drive. Movies and Music Won't Play

    Here's my setup. First Generation Apple TV. G4 Powermac running OS X 10.5.8 iTunes 10 with the Library stored on an External 3 Terabyte USB 2 drive. It's plugged into a PCI USB 2 card. Everything worked fine till I transferred my iTunes library to the external USB drive. Things seem to sync up fine. I have it set to copy TV shows to the Apple TV's internal drive and that seems to work but when I try to play music or movies that are streaming from the library, I get an error. With movies I get the "The selected video cannot be played. The format was not recognized." error. The movie and music list seems up to date but now it won't play. Did I waste my money on this external drive? How do I get this setup to work?

    I don't think this will be a complete answer to your question, but may point you in the right direction.
    I have a similar setup (same OS X and iTunes versions), but my library is on a network attached 2TB harddrive (vs a USB 2 drive). Mine works fine, both syncing (which you don't have a problem with) and streaming. It's possible that iTunes doesn't like the USB 2 drive, but I don't know. Are you able to watch TV shows on your PowerMac after having moved the files to the USB drive? If you can watch content on your laptop but not on your AppleTV, it suggests the Apple TV doesn't like the USB drive.
    Perhaps you didn't transfer iTunes library content correctly. (Forgive me if I'm telling you things you already know.) The iTunes library consists of a list of content and it's location (local harddrive, network drive, etc.). If you simply moved the files, but didn't actually update the library with the new locations, this can explain why you can't stream the content. The Apple TV displays what is in the library, but cannot play it if the library entry is pointing to the wrong location. Note: This "library update" I'm referring to is not the same as simply changing the iTunes media folder location in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced.
    When I moved my content to an external drive, I had to delete everything in my iTunes Library, then re-import everything (File > Add to library). Don't let the phrase "delete everything in my iTunes library" freak you out. Deleting entries in the library is not the same as deleting the files (which you definitely do NOT want to do).
    If you select an item in your iTunes library and press the Delete button, it asks for confirmation thus:
    Are you sure you want to delete the selected TV show from your iTunes library?
    It's OK to answer "Delete TV Show". It will then ask you if you want to delete the file. Do NOT delete the file. You can select your entire library and delete everything at once, just make sure you do NOT delete the files when it asks. When that is done, make sure the iTunes Media Folder Location is set to where you want and that the files are there. Then, go to File, Add to Library and re-import everything. It will take several minutes to more than an hour, depending on the speed of your computer and the size of your library.
    I have had to do this everytime I've moved my library to different storage devices. If there is a simpler way, I am not aware of it.
    I hope this helps.

  • My purchased TV shows are on Apple TV, but my purchased Movies and Music is not, what gives?

    My purchased TV shows are visible on Apple TV, but my purchased Movies and Music are not, what gives?
    From Apple TV menu, I used to click on "Computer" and choose my laptop and I could watch TV, Movies, Photos, Music, whatever....
    but now the "Computer" button incorrectly tells me that Home Sharing is turned off (which it isn't) and I can't find my purchased movies anywhere.  Plus, it appears that I can't listen to music without iTunes Match which costs $25 a year...  any advice out there?

    I don't believe Apple is currently listing purchased movie content, like they do with TV episodes because of licensing restrictions.  Big Movies views that as a streaming service, and not purchased content, so it is licensed differently.
    As to your Home Sharing, there has been no change there.  You can still Home Share your videos, photos, music from your computer that has Home Sharing turned on.  Keep in mind iTunes needs to be running on that computer at the same time.
    Also, one in awhile my computer is on, but it does not show under Home Sharing on Apple TV. When this happens, I do a hard boot (unplug from power and plug back in) of the Apple TV, and also restart my computer.  Something happens once in awhile that it loses that connection. I haven't troubleshooted more than just doing a reboot.  Obviously there is a root cause, but it doesn't happen to me enough to worry about tracking it down.

  • HT3187 What happened to my movies and music list on my apple tv

    I have lost my audio for video on itunes and also have lost movies and music and apps on my itunes for my appletv whats the deal ?

    What do you mean by the above italicized text? Did you enable iTunes Match in iTunes on the work computer? If not, simply launching iTunes won't do anything for you. You need to pull down the Store Menu and select "Turn on iTunes Match."

  • A question before buy movie and music, please help.

    Hi, I've just created itunes account and planing to buy some music and movie.
    But I've got my worries so before I buy I want to make sure. I'm sorry if someone has already ask them.
    1. If I buy music from itunes can I play it on my Nokia phone? I have Nokia N8 and C7. And if I can, how do I do that.
    2. If I buy movie from itunes can I play it with Media Player Classic? I don't feel comfortable playing with itunes.
    3. Can I back up or copy the movie and music I buy from itunes and have been download to my windows pc to my hardisk?
    Thank you for your response

    1. If I buy music from itunes can I play it on my Nokia phone? I have Nokia N8 and C7. And if I can, how do I do that.
    Yes you can. You just CANNOT sync with iTunes. You can either use Windows Media Player to sync OR manually drag and drop into your phone. I strongly recommend letting Windows Media Player sync it to your phone, it will convert the music format compatible for a Nokia.
    2. If I buy movie from itunes can I play it with Media Player Classic? I don't feel comfortable playing with itunes.
    If Media Player Classic supports the proper format for iTunes movies, yes you can. You don't have to use iTunes to watch the movie, after downloading iTunes, it also downloads Quicktime Player of which you can use to watch iTunes movies.
    3. Can I back up or copy the movie and music I buy from itunes and have been download to my windows pc to my hardisk?
    You can use a harddisk, USB flash drive, any iDevice to hold all you music and videos. As long as you have enough memory on any of the devices I told.
    Hope all this info. helps. Good luck.
