Tim, I may do this, it may be just right. I did combine some genres and reduced the list a bit too. Appreciate the suggestions. From The Believer. . . By way of the Chariots of the Gods cameth the Aliens who dwelt amongst the humans, and bringeth much knowledge. On 3/17/2015 12:36 PM, Ti

Hi, You can streamline the playlists table by creating a Movies Playlist folder. So, while in iTunes, • go up to the File menu, down to New, over and down to New Playlist Folder. • Enter a name for it like “Movie Playlists” • Navigate back to the Playlists table and make sure focus is on the ne

Yes, the sorting does that and I have selected what I want to be shown in that view. But while the movies are sorted that way, they are all in one list. If I select Home Videos from the popup button, I get grid view. If I select Video List, I get the list view and I see all the selected

Hi, You could do that if you wish but it’s unnecessary. You should be able to, when the Movies are viewed in List view, sort by whatever column you wish. If, when navigating across the columns, Genre is not one of them, then you can press on the “movies List” menu then add that column from wi

That will help. I have been trying to figure out how to view movies by genre as one can do with music. Seems not to work the same. So perhaps creating a playlist for each genre? In tesating this, I cannot select multiple items to add to the new playlist. I must be going at it all wrong.

Hi, When in the movies view, to the left of the grid, it probably says “Movies Menu”. VO-space on that, then Interact with the table and VO-space on the Movies List option. This should put the movies into a more VO friendly table where you can hopefully edit anything that requires editing. L

Tim, That brought them back. I set sort vby first to genres then title. But from there I am not seeing how to select the genre I want to display. All of the titles are in one grid view. I noticed some titles, probably quite a few, that got mangled, so I want to be sure I can sort things

Hi, If they are ripped movies, they are likely filed under the “Home Videos” section. So, when you go to “My Movies”, if you VO-right twice after the “My Movies” button, there should be a “Home Videos” button which should reveal all those ripped movies. By default, iTunes only puts purchased

Tim, All are ripped movies and placed in the automatically add folder. After all that was done, I had gone into iTunes and edited media information, mostly the genres and cleaned up titles. All seemed well then. From The Believer. . . By way of the Chariots of the Gods cameth the Aliens

Hi, A couple of things. What process did you use to move the iTunes media to the external drive? Are these movies purchased or ripped from your own collection? Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Mar 16, 2015, at 09:56, The Believer wrote: Running Mavericks and latest iTunes
