Songs appearing up Movies rather than Music

I have songs appearing lately as Movies.  I have done the Ctrl-I to fix them and the Media Kind is greyed out although it does show Music... I think this is a glitch with iTunes and need to know how to fix it without deleting the music.  Suggestions?
Thanks!!

Try signing out of the store to see if that helps.
Otherwise see Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash and try reverting to a recent version of the library.

  • Importing multiple songs in one process rather than importing one at a time

    I just got a MacBook Pro. It runs OSX 10.5.4. I used to have a G4 Tower. Anytime I downloaded purchased music from iTunes or uploaded my CDs, I stored them to a removable drive.
    There seems to be a lot of music missing. I don't think I downloaded everything somehow. Is there an EASY way to check to see what hasn't been downloaded and then upload everything that's missing in one move rather than importing each song individually?
    Thanks,

    You can add stuff to the library by dragging and dropping onto the itunes library window. This can be multiple files or even whole folders of stuff.
    But you will stiff have to determine yourself, manually, what is actually missing and not missing.
    Or you can add EVERYTHING then go into iTunes and remove duplicates. Still kind of a chore.

  • Match is ordering songs in playlists alphabetically rather than by track number. how can I fix this?

    I've set my iPhone to use iTunes Match, but it is ordering songs in playlists alphabetically rather than by track number. And there isn't an oedering system on the iPhone, so I have to do it by hand. how can I fix this?

    Sad to see that people have been complaining about this since last year (although not many seem to care, which is odd). For classical music listeners it is a total slap in the face.

  • I have a separate apple id and my daughter bought a song using my ID rather than hers.  Now I've got this song that I don't care for and have no use for.  Is there a way to get it to her ID short of burning it on to CD and then uploading it to her phone?

    I have a separate apple id and my daughter bought a song using my ID rather than hers. She was playing on my computer and bought it, thinking it would download to her phone through the cloud. Now I've got this song that I don't care for and have no use for.  Is there a way to get it to her ID short of burning it on to CD and then uploading it to her phone?

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • List CD as a BOOK type rather than MUSIC

    I imported a CD into my iTunes library (Mac Mountain Lion OS). The CD is excerpts and meditation exercises from a book I am reading. Just wondering if there is a way to have the CD show up as a BOOK type rather than MUSIC?
    Thanks for any help.

  • Adobe Captivate 4 - How do I include the playbar in the movie, rather than below it?

    Hi,
    As the title says, how can I have the playbar displayed inside the movie window rather than as a seperate entity below it?
    We used Captivate 1 up until recently to make our training videos. We would use the playbar "PresenterSilver" and then insert text boxes into the slides as a sort of guide as to what section the user was currently viewing. We would also use this to show the author and the date. A static image was used as a background also (this was created in Fireworks to look the same as the PresenterSilver background).
    This setup worked fine for all our movies. However when we upgraded to Captivate 4 the PresenterSilver skin is no longer there. The playbar is also no longer part of the movie but is below the window.
    I was wondering if it possible to include the playbar the way it used to be. If not, then can someone suggest a work-around? I was looking at it earlier and I see that you can use image files as backgrounds around the player. This is not ideal as I think that the images remain static for the entire movie. And we could not have a set image (e.g. Part 1 for slides 1-3, Part 2 for 4-6 etc.) for different slides, it would have to be the same the entire way through. If I am mistaken please let me know.
    Thanks for your help,
    Eoin.

    Hi there
    Unfortunately Adobe changed the playing field with version 4. You are no longer able to have the playbar occupy part of the main movie.
    Please report this as a bug to the development team. The link is in my sig.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Is there a way to gift a playlist of say 10 songs all at once rather than one at a time?

    Wanting to send small playlists as valentine gifts but can't figure out how to do it. I would like to gift them all at once rather than one at a time.
    Is it possible?
    Thanks,
    Lis

    Not that I have encountered, but if your provider supports webmail, you can generally accomplish it that way.

  • Songs sound like they have radio interference rather than music on them.

    1. Songs play with the wrong title, some won't play but don't show the "can't locate icon '!'", others sound like they have picked up radio interference or play what sounds like a TV or Radio soap opera.
    I've 'repaired', deleted and reinstalled iTunes, to no avail. Whether playing in order or shuffle, when it hits one of these it eventually skips thru to the next good song or closes iTunes.
    I have deleted and reinstalled a good many but with 1000s thought there might be an easier way to resolve.
    2. This is in a seperate topic but included in case there is any connection: Every time I add a new song or reopen iTunes it goes thru 100+ songs "Determining Gapless Playback Information"!
    This uses 100% of a 320gb hard drive with hardly anything on it and takes on average 30 seconds per song = approx 50 mins!
    Thx!

  • I have songs appearing as movies on my iTunes - how can I get these songs to appear as songs and not movies?

    Please help!
    I have random songs that are appearing in my list of movies.  I have tried deleting them and then redownloading them from the cloud to get them back into songs.  I am successful after redownloading, BUT
    ...once I close out iTunes and then reenter iTunes, the songs are reappearing as movies.
    PLEASE HELP!  This is crazy. 
    Thanks!
    -Zach

    I had exactly the same problem. Check that the tracks still appear in your iTunes folder under Music (they should if you've re-downloaded them from the cloud). Next, look in your Movies folder and the songs might appear as individual folders. Delete those folders, empty your trash and then delete the tracks from the Movies tab in iTunes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Coverflow showing "invisible" album cover rather than "music symbol" cover

    I recently noticed that my iPhone is showing a completely invisible album cover instead of the normal music symbol cover in coverflow & regular iPod modes. This is strange as I usually see the music symbol placeholder album cover when browsing the iPod software. With the completely invisble cover, it's hard to notice the album when browsing in coverflow. Is this a known bug?

    One thing to try is to find the songs that belong to the album in itunes.
    Right click or control click on the each of the songs and go to the artwork tab.
    Delete any artwork associated with the song.
    Now add the artwork you want associated with the album.
    Connect the iphone to the computer.
    Use manually manage to remove the album from the iphone.
    Then sync the album back to the iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • "Ken Burns" applies to entire movie rather than to individual clips?

    I am using iMovie '11 on a Mac Air 10.7, and I tried to "Ken Burns" a clip in a simple 3-clip movie. But the effect seems to apply to each of the 3 clips in the same way. If I edit a different clip in the same movie with different KB setting, then those all apply to each clip in the movie, over-riding whatever KB or crop affect I might have used there originally. This does not seem right. If it is right, then it makes the KB feature nearly useless. What might I be doing wrong?

    Thanks very much for your rapid response.  I think one of the difficulties in using the help menus in FCP is that you almost need to know the name of the thing you're looking for before you can find it, but if you don't already know what it is that you're looking for, it makes it hard.  All the best.

  • "Screen Capture" in Finder as a short Quicktime movie rather than a screen snap

    I know that if I press cmd+shift+ 3 (or 4) I can take a snapshot of my screen to show the state of play on my screen at any particular time and email the result as a Gif or Jpeg. 
    I recall that it is also possible, within Finder, to make a short movie of what is happening on one's screen as one works, thus making a movie of what one does that may be posted by email or on a web site maybe.
    Some years ago my Dad had a problem with his iMac.  I made a video of my iMac's screen using something built into Finder that showed exactly what I was doing to sort his problem out. It showed my cursor moving across my screen as I selected various options.  I was then able to email to result to him - I think. Anyway, the file opened on his iMac as a Quicktime movie (if I recall correctly). He then just copied what he saw me do in the replay and solved his problem. Needless to say he was quite impressed. So was I as it happened. 
    This may have been five or more years ago now but I now find I need to use this feature again.  Trouble is, I can't remember how to do it!!
    Can anyone remind me please?  I'm having problems with my GPU and it would be helpful if my correspondent could see what was going on on my screen as it happens.
    Thank you in anticipation.

    Got it.  Thanks.
    Could have sworn it was elsewhere, in Finder. Oh well there goes the memory chip!

  • Voice rather than Music recording

    Back again for a new lesson on Mac stuff. I would like to record a Pastoral Sermon and put it on a CD for use by shut-ins and house bound members. The only method available at the moment is from a fixed audio output on the Master Amplifier. Is it possible to pick up audio off of a fixed audio output directly into a laptop running OS10.4.11 using iTunes as the recording software?
    John

    iTunes is not a recording tool. It does not have the features you need.
    QuickTime Pro will let you record audio and there are other products you can buy.
    You can also use GarageBand if you have it.

  • ITunes is writing new songs to the download folder rather than the Music folder

    I recently added a NAS (Synology) to my home network. The transfer of libraries was simple and fast.
    The problem now though is that when i buy a new song in iTunes it writes it to the download folder rather than music folder with .tmp tag.
    Any ideas how to fix t?

    ... I didn't know I could delete it through iTunes.
    Now that you know, try deleting through iTunes.  If that does not remove the image file, then place the app you mistakenly deleted back in the file folder from your latest backup and try deleting through iTunes again.

  • Buy rather than rent on quality movies

    We pay far too much monthly to have to buy quality movies rather than rent them.  Please return/fix this soon!  - Long time FIOS customer, FIOS lover, and consistant bill payer - Tom 

    Hey there TCinTEX
    The movie studios who own the rights to the movies set the time frames that determine when a title can be rented, and when they can be purchased.
    Unfortunately these time frames don't mesh all the time, particularly for new release titles, so often a new title can't be rented as early as it can be purchased.
