Vanishing sub categories iTunes ipad

My iTunes store app no longer has sub categories. There used to be menu options like comedy, drama etc for films... Then a few days ago they disappeared and browsing for films, tv etc is now impossible unless you know in advance what you are looking for. Don't know if this is some brilliant new improvement or a random glitch?

Thanks Mike...I think I just didn't dig enough - but I just figured it out and now I can see all kinds of categories of electronic music.
Thanks for your response

Why does the iPad AppStore not show sub categories ?

I always search around on my iPhone and come across a new app but on the iPad you can only see featured apps, is there a reason why it is like this, why we can't browse apps like on the iPhone.

Dude why do you have to be a nub? You know what he means. Don't suggest using your computer to search. That is ignorant. The whole point in getting a iPad is to replace using a computer for easy day to day usage. Especially in this case. Searching the iPad app store is a joke. I been messing around with this thing for a hour trying to do stuff that takes seconds on my iPhone. There is they key statement. iPhone! Can you say iPhone? The iPhone has a superior search function to the iPad. There is absolutely positively no reason get go sit at my computer to search apps when I can do everything I want from the comfort of my bed on my iPhone at night. So apple got it right on the iPhone but dropped the ball on the iPad app store. Sure I can search from my iPhone but I want to search iPad specific apps in the RPG games category. Is that to much to ask? The iPhone already does it so don't say goto your computer. I have bought a ton of games I didn't even know I wanted by searching sub categories on my iPhone. I'd like to think this was a oversight that will be fixed but looking at older post it seems this has been the case for awhile, so it leads me to believe there is some evil pay apple to get yours apps featured thing going on.

How to make sub-categories in iTunes playlists

I have many playlists for separating certain types of music, like most people do. I was wondering if there is a way to place sub-categories in playlists already made. For example:
iTunes>Playlists>Recently Added>10 Most Recently Added>5 Most Recently Added.
I would like to be able to view/listen to the originated playlist; i.e. "Recently Added" which contains all the sub-playlists; i.e. "10 Most Recently Added" and "5 Most Recently Added" but also be able to access the sub-playlists within the original playlist and listen to solely the songs within the sub-category.
Basically, is there a way to put a playlist within a playlist without having to use and edit auto-updating smart playlists manually?

You can't make a playlist inside a playlist. You can nest playlists inside of folders and if you click on the folder it will show a summation of all the playlists contained in it.

How can I search sub categories in iBooks?

Okay, after generally loving apple products, this one has me raging mad. When I search iBooks, there is a drop down list of categories and authors.
But sub categories -- as found in any normal bookstore -- are nowhere to be found.
For example, searching "Ferrari" will drop down a variety of books, two of which are in the Transportation category. But, Transportation is not listed in any of the categories in the basic iBooks menu.
Words such as "history", "science and technology" cover a LOT of ground, and there MUST be better navigation to zero in on topics of interest.
So, how can I find a list of sub-categories so I can spend my iTunes wealth?

Sadly I don't think you can. I have a number of books published in the Games and Card Games category (as identified by BISAC code) but Apple don't have a Games category either. However in the iTunes Store (not iBooks) if I search for 'Games' and then select the 'Books' Media Type filter I can find the books in the results. Perhaps the same ill happen if you try with 'transportation'. Now that books are searchable directly from the iTunes store I find it much easier to search there rather than on my iPad.

How do we create a a main podcast category with sub-categories similar to the way many bands have subcategories and artwork for each of their albums?

How does a content producer create a main category with sub-categories similar to the way many bands have subcategories and artwork for each of their albums?

I think you're talking about an 'Artist Page' in which several podcasts are 'aggregated' into one iTunes Store page? This Apple Tech note deals with the subject (scroll to the bottom of the page):
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/creatorfaq.html
Although your mention of albums makes me wonder whether there you are talking about albums and songs in the music Library? - podcasts don't come in albums.
You've also asked this in another forum:
I have created a feed for our podcasts, but they are all under one umbrella. We would like to have subcategories under one main category.
'A feed for your podcasts' doesn't make sense - a podcast has one feed (and vice versa). Are you confusing 'episodes' with 'podcasts'? A podcast is a collection of episodes - you can't categorize the episodes separately. The category shows only on the Store page and applies to the entire podcast. The 'Artist' page may again be what you are aiming for - if not perhaps you could post an example of what someone else is doing that you would like to.

How can i stream music from itunes (ipad or MacBookPro) to Apple TV 2nd Gen?

How can i stream (not sync) music from itunes (ipad or mac) to an AppleTV 2nd gen?? thanks..

No, not directly.. but to get the movies onto your iPad you need to sync them on there from your computer running iTunes.. you can likewise sync those same movies from your computer running iTunes to the appleTV..
i create a playlist of all the videos on my iPad (mostly for kids movies they are interested in right now).. so to put those same movies on my appleTV i would just define the sync to appleTV to include that playlist..

Creating a table based on Category and Sub-Categories

Hi
I am building an extensive home budget. I have 3 tables showing, monthly, quarterly and annual costs. These tables contain Categories and Sub-Categories. I have created a table and chart to show the percentage of the total costs for each Category. For the two Categories with the largest percentage of the total cost I would like to create a table (and chart, no problem, based on my first template) showing the breakdown of the Sub-Categories. However this information is to be retrieved from 3 tables, and I was hoping to create the table automatically. If not I must individually go to each different table and find the relevant Sub-Category and manually input the text and link the cell for the value to my new table. This gives room for error in my opinion and is a nuisance as my budget file now contains about 8 sheets so even on 27" iMac requires a considerable amount of scrolling around.
Am I expecting too much of Numbers or missing something totally? I do not have much experience of spreadsheets, just basic tables and calculations in Excel before coming over from the Dark Side!
Many thanks for any advice
Shirley

Hi Barry
Many thanks for your reply and apologies for my delay in responding.
Hope I am doing this photo embedding correctly via Flikr:
Page 1
I apologise also for my incorrect terminology - please bear with me on this, unfortunately I never used Excel much so terminology is pretty much my own . I believe that I have one sheet, which then changes into different numbers of pages depending on the page size I set, so with these examples 4 pages. 14 tables and one chart at this time
The tables on the second screenshot were the only way I could figure out how to retrieve the data for the final table and chart (% Total Monthly Expenses)
Now what I want to do is for each (or in fact the three largest) budget categories is to give a breakdown of what in that category is, percentage wise, costing the most. Preferably, I want to get this breakdown category information automatically so that human error is ruled out (that I cannot overlook an entry in the any of the tables in my first example). Perhaps I am asking too much, but I thought it was worth asking!
Again many thanks for responding and for your help with this
regards
Shirley

My Categories and sub-categories are now missing

I installed new PSE12 on my Win7x64. I previously had PSE9 installed.
My Categories and sub-categories are now missing? I need to know how to reinstall them and auto attach to my pictures?
<moved by mod from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

So, did you import your pictures in a new catalog in PSE12? That can only restore tags which were specifically 'written to files' in the Organizer.
As a matter of fact, the solution in your case is not an 'import' via the 'get photos and videos... from files or folders'.
It's a catalog conversion, which creates a new PSE12 version from your old one. This is done in the File menu, catalogs... option : the catalog manager. There is a 'convert' button which you use to search and convert catalogs of any older version (shortcut Ctrl Maj C).

PSE user since the old Album `1. Accumulated a 20K or more photo catalog. Stopped upgrading at PSE 10. How do I translate all the categories, sub categories and tags in PSE 10 to the new versions that look alot like the system in Lightroom??

How do I convert my catalog and the Categories, Sub Categories, and Tags in PSE 10 to the newer versions like PSE 12 or 13??
The new organizer looks a lot like Lightroom with the computers filing system, not the organizer I have been using for about 10 years.
Can I upgrade and somehow retain all the organization I presently have?

Where has the Airplay feature vanished to in iTunes 12 ?

To whom it may concern.....
I just updated to iTunes 12 and I don't seem to be able to find where he Airplay feature vanished to in iTunes 12 ?
I have a Wireless Zepplin and Rotel Hi-Fi (controlled by Airport Express and Arcam IR DAC) and I don't seem to be able to bounce my iTunes music onto my system as I was able to do so simply before on iTunes 11.
I know it's probably somewhere staring me in the face... but any help would be much appreciated.

All sorted.... I restarted my new iTunes 12 and the Airplay icon appeared alongside the volume feature.
All sorted. Panic over, balance in the universe has been restored again once more...

Copying sub-categories, PSE 9 restore.

If I use 'Restore' in PSE 9 to copy my photos to a new PC, will all my sub-categories also be copied over from the five back-up DVDS?
In the instructions for 'Restore' under PSE 9 Help, it states that, "the last disc should be inserted on request', or similar wording. Surely I should put in each of my five discs starting with disc one?

Hi Michel,
The link didn't work ("Page unavailable.") but I have read these instructions before in fact. I was very puzzled by the statement that the last disc should be put inserted, once in 'Restore'. I wonder if what is meant is the disc from the last back-up or in my case, a set of five discs? I originally read this as meaning that only the last of my five discs should be inserted, but then I'd be missing four discs full of my photos.
The link works for me...
My explanation (without testing it on DVDs or CDs) is that there is a logical order to write a backup, and that the last media is needed to make the catalog copy and the .tly file available to the restore process. Of course, all disks are necessary for the restore. Logically the restore process should prompt which disk is needed at each stage of the restore...
What I can't imagine is what happens when you are using CDs and the size of the catalog.pse9db plus catalog.tly is more than the last CD size ?

{module_categorylist} Categories drop down show sub categories only

Hi
On this page I have a FAQ search at the top of the page.
http://www.pantheraaccounting.co.uk/features/faqs
In the ‘Categories’ drop down I have a set of sub Categories called ‘FAQ’ - is there anyway I can just show the subset of categories instead of showing All Categories I have created for other parts of the site.
e.g. Drop down list to show only
FAQ
- Corporation Tax
- Self Assessment
- UTR
- Xero
The code for this is
<table class="faq-search" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="0">
                <tbody>
                    <tr>
                        <td><label for="CAT_Category">Category</label><br />
                        <select class="cat_dropdown_small" id="CAT_Category" name="CAT_Category">{module_categorylist}</select></td>
                        <td><label for="CAT_FAQSearch">Search (Optional)</label><br />
                        <input class="cat_textbox_small" type="text" id="CAT_FAQSearch" name="CAT_FAQSearch" /></td>
                        <td> <br />
                        <input class="cat_button" type="submit" value="Search" /></td>
                    </tr>
                </tbody>
            </table>

I have found the answer on another forum post - thank you to Adam (Logo Pogo) https://forums.adobe.com/message/5818145#5818145
If anyone else is looking for a solution this works;
Actually, there is an undocumented way of doing this. Just like with the ecommerce catelogue list dump you can use the ID of the catalogue / category in the module tag to render that level like so:
Ecommerce catalogue list dump:
{module_cataloguelistdump,-1} --- renders all catalogues
{module_cataloguelistdump,12345} --- renders the catalogue level with this ID of the top catalogue
System Categories list:
{module_categorylist} --- renders all categories
{module_categorylist,12345} --- renders the category level with this ID of the top category

Ever since the last iTunes update, my cloud movies and TV purchases all vanished from my iTunes library.

Ever since the last iTunes update, my cloud movies and TV purchases all vanished from my iTunes library. I go to Settings>Store>Show Cloud Purchases, but Show Cloud Purchases isn't there. So, I go to the store, then click on purchases, and I download anything from my iTunes account. Now, I go to Settings>Store>Show Cloud Purchases, and it is back. I check the box, and my cloud purchases are again back in iTunes.
OK, I wouldn't bother posting this, but a day or so later, it all happens again. Cloud purchases gone, no option to fix in the Settings>Store menu until I go to the store and download something again.
How do I get iTunes for Windows to keep showing my cloud purchases without having to do this silly work-around every day or two?

Audiobooks are not avaiable for redownload from iTunes, though I suspect you may find they are still on your computer even if not currently listed in your library. This may help...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

Completely shuts down? You mean the iPad actually turns off? That's what "shuts down" means to me. The device powers off.
You could try closing all apps in the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
