Yup. Makes no sense. I tried your strategy a couple times. Something is keeping me from making changes that affect the genre table for purchased movies. In Home Videos I can type in the combo box. In the purchased movies, I cannot.

Hi,


Hmmmm.  I had a home video of some black bear cubs playing around that I changed from a genre I named as "Nature" to a genre I just named as "Wildlife".  After changing it to Wildlife, this genre showed up in the Genre table that I could change my purchased Avengers, End Game to Wildlife if I felt like it.  I hate it when something works for one person, but not another.

Later...

  Frayed knot. :( All the genres I want are in Home Videos but are invisible in the genre listing in Movies. That will only list the actual genres of the purchased content.

  Strangely, all the purchased content is also in Home Videos yet I cannot change the genre.  In other words, say I have a Kids and Family purchased movie and want to change it to Family. No can do.

Hi,
A workaround is to create the Genre within the Home Videos grouping of movies.  This should now add it to the main grouping that you can choose from when manipulating the purchased items.  You'll need to modify one of your Home videos, then go into the purchased ones, set it to the new genre then you should be able to go back to the Home Videos and change it back to its original genre.  There needs to be at least one item with that genre for it to appear in the list.  I haven't tested this with a lot of videos, but it did work on one.

Hi Tim,
  This works as always in Home Videos. Not in Movies (purchased). If a genre does not already exist, I cannot type one in. I do not recall if I could do this in iTunes but then I did not have to learn how to work with the new changes. This is where I think Apple could have left well enough alone.

Hi,
You should just be able to type your desired genre into the field.  If the genre doesn't already exist, then it should be automatically added.
