Re: Lost movies in iTunes

[Alan Smith]

Thanks Neil and Ronni for your comments

Ronni said (in email prior to this one from Neil)"Just to make sure you are 
clear what the iTunes Library files you are thinking of restoring are."Key 
point!  I am NOT sure of where the problem lies or what the iTunes files do.  
Thus I will take Ronni's final recommendation to restore the whole iTunes 
folder from Time Machine.   (I might experiment with some individual files 
first.)  I will do some further research to improve my understanding of the 
processes.  Thanks also to Ronni for her explanation of the three files I 
mentioned, and why the XML file is not backed up.

Neil, I apologise for not making a clear explanation of the problem.  I will 
spell it out here and hope it is helpful and explain why your suggestions don't 
seem to be relevant in my case.

I have purchased music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, books and iTunesU items 
from Apple.  These all appear in their respective "libraries" accessed in the 
left column of iTunes.Each library can be viewed with four options: song 
list, album list, grid , and cover flow.   All my purchased items live in their 
default Media files on the internal drive of the iMac.   Because they are 
"physical" files, they can be seen with Finder in their respective folders 
under 'Music' etc.

I also have a collection of movies sourced from camcorder, DVDs, eyeTV, etc.  
These are all stored on an external hard drive.   To view them on Apple TV, I 
copy the LINK (not the gigabyte files) to iTunes.   This is a standard 
documented facility.  All these linked files display in the iTunes app - I  
generally use the "song list" option to see what is there as the sort columns 
are useful.   Because they are not physical files within the iTunes folder 
hierarchy, they obviously cannot be viewed by Finder in the Media folder area.

I have added some of my personal movies to the iTunesU and Podcast libraries to 
keep the subject matter together.  This is convenient when navigating Apple TV 
so that all "astronomy" videos, for example, are in the same menu with the 
purchased Apple iTunesU lessons.   The standard "album" tag in iTunes songs (or 
movies) denotes the parent folder for the iTunesU "Collection" - that is, the 
individual course or subject.   I do all my tag editing within iTunes using 
standard Apple methods.  Possibly a third party tagging app could amend tags 
directly at source which would avoid the subsequent pain I've endured.

iTunes will not permit a file to be option-copied as a duplicate.  No messages, 
just no action.   This can be handy as a pointer that the file must exist in 
iTunes somewhere.  

I linked (option copied) 3 movies from the external drive to iTunes.  Default 
copy location is the Movie library.  I normally edit the tags within iTunes as 
appropriate, but this time I left the "album" field blank.   So somewhere in 
iTunes is a blank folder with 3 virtual movie files, all tagged as iTunesU 
items.  There is no selectable "blank" collection when scanning the  iTunes 
lists, and hence the movie files cannot be selected and tags edited. The 
files are there somewhere because they display on the Apple TV menu as a 
separate group without a collection title.

Being efficient, iTunes had written the (blank) tags back to the files on the 
external hard drive.  During testing I physically copied one of the movies to 
iTunes.  This file was not visible in the iTunes app, but now being a "real" 
file inside iTunes media, it could be located by Finder in the Media folder.  
Because it had a blank tag, Apple created a default collection folder called 
"Unknown iTunesU" with the movie in it.   Finder could see it and I later 
deleted this one copy.   

The 3 movies were deleted from the external drive using Finder.  I can replace 
them later from backups and do the tags more carefully next time.   Today I did 
a complete power shut down of iMac and Apple TV, unplugging all cords and 
disconnecting all peripherals, but this didn't remove the invisible folder and 
links.   To have a clean database and app I need to delete the blank folder and 
3 phantom movies in Tunes - probably by replacing the complete iTunes folder 
from Time Machine.  

Immediate restoration from Time Machine is not critical technically, but I 
shouldn't make any additions to iTunes until the issue is resolved.

Thanks again to Ronni and Neil

Cheers
Alan

But then you say:

> located under the normal "iTunes U" folder in iTunes Media.

So how are you deleting them if you can't see them in Finder?

Anyway, if you can "see" the movie files to delete them you should be able
to "see" them to add them to the iTunes library?

Since they are not currently showing in your iTunes library (because of the
incorrect tagging) my first approach would be to use the iTunes "add to
library" command and then navigate to where the movies are (you must know
this or how could you delete them?) Onve you have added them, then you can
edit the tags in itunes to get the result you want regarding organisation.

Another alternative would be to select the movie file (again you must be
able to select them to delete them?) and then right-click and use the "open
with" to open the file in iTunes - then edit the Tags in iTunes.

Or am I missing something? - quite possible ;o)

Re: Lost movies in iTunes

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Alan,

I never recommend messing with the iTunes or iPhoto Library files. Both iTunes 
and iPhoto applications if left to do the job they are designed to do you won't 
experience problems.

Just to make sure you are clear what the iTunes Library files you are thinking 
of restoring are.

>> Files are "iTunes Library.itl" and "iTunes Library Extras.itdb". The 
>> time shown in the date-modified field corresponds to the time I copied the 
>> movies.

iTunes Library.itl file:
This file is a database of the songs in your library and the playlists you've 
created. Some song-specific data is saved in this file. If you delete the file, 
iTunes creates a new, empty copy when you open the application, but any 
playlists, song ratings, comments, or other information you created is lost. 

iTunes Library Extras.itdb:
Contains some Gracenote CDDB information.

iTunes Library.xml file:
This file contains some (but not all) of the same information stored in the 
iTunes Library file. The purpose of the iTunes Library.xml file is to make your 
music and playlists available to other applications on your computer. In Mac OS 
X other iLife applications (like iPhoto, iDVD, and iMovie) use this file to 
make it easier for you to add music from your iTunes library to your projects.

>>  "iTunes Music Library.xml" does not seem to exist in Time Machine.  The 
>> time shown in the date-modified field corresponds to the time I copied the 
>> movies.   Absence in T.M. is a worry!

Note: The iTunes Library.xml file does not get backed up in TM backups. 
That's specificalliy excluded, since it should be rebuilt when necessary.

So what to suggest you can do now to relocate the wrongly tagged Movies?
I would ‘think’ a safer way would be to restore the whole iTunes (Folder) from 
a backup created just before you wrongly tagged these movies.

Cheers,
Ronni

1Password

[David Wood]

Hi All,

I have noted from several members recently that they use the 1Password App.  I 
am about to make "the jump" in purchasing this App for both our iPads and 
iPhones, plus our iMac.  Just enquiring as to whether there is anything I 
should know understand about the setup process to make life easier and also to 
reconfirm that this is the best password protector on offer at the moment.

Many thanks,
David

Re: Lost movies in iTunes

[Alan Smith]

Hi Ronni

This summarises the problem and action taken. iTunes "should" have pointers 
to two movies in an external drive plus a full copy of a third movie in the 
iTunesU library.  These movies could not be located in the iTunes app because I 
tagged them incorrectly.  They display in the Apple TV menu so they are in 
iTunes somewhere.   I deleted some files/folders via Finder associated with the 
full copy movie but am concerned that iTunes still has links internally. 

I would like some guidance on proposed steps 5 to 7 below.

1. I deleted the three incorrectly tagged movies from the external Firewire 
drive.
2. I deleted the full movie copy and its parent folder "Unknown iTunes U" 
located under the normal "iTunes U" folder in iTunes Media.
3. I re-installed one movie and option-copied it to iTunes (and successfully 
re-tagged it as an iTunesU file).
4. iTunes app shut down and re-started.  Apple TV still lists the three 
(deleted) movies in its iTunesU menu. 
5. Tomorrow I propose re-installing two iTunes database files from Time Machine 
on the premise that link data to external files has to be stored somewhere.  
Files are "iTunes Library.itl" and "iTunes Library Extras.itdb". The time 
shown in the date-modified field corresponds to the time I copied the movies.
6.  A third iTunes database file "iTunes Music Library.xml" does not seem to 
exist in Time Machine.  The time shown in the date-modified field corresponds 
to the time I copied the movies.   Absence in T.M. is a worry!
7.  I have closed and restarted the iTunes app during the above steps but have 
not done done a full power shut down of the iMac or Apple TV.  Will do this 
before trying the (partial) T.M. restore.   Way too late to do it tonight.

Perhaps that is why you are receiving “unknown iTunesU structure” in iTunes.

All my iMovie or iPhoto slideshow movies & other movies, show in Movies in 
iTunes and in Finder are located:
/Users/ronni/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Movies/x 

Movies generally just need the Title tag, and TV shows need Show, Season

Re: MYOB datafile question

Dear Walter,

My accountant told me I had to have Windows for MYOB so I ran it on  
Windows XP using Parallels Desktop.

I now understand that if you send your accountant the data off your  
Mac it should be read by their copy of MYOB.

Kind regards, Bob

Re: iPad when traveling ?

[Robin Belford]

Take an AirPort Express and make your own WiFi network where ever you plug in.
Worked for me in Japan and China a few years ago.

iPad when traveling ?

[Roger Kortas]

Hi Guys

Just a general question about using the iPad when traveling :)

I will be going to China again in September and wireless networks are few and 
far between, I can get a sim but the data limits are very low at the moment so 
to my question.

Most hotels have ethernet ports in their rooms does any one know a way getting 
the iPad to use it?

Many thanks in advance for any ideas

Mail in Snow Leopard

[Severin Crisp]

My wife's MacBook is running Snow Leopard.  When Mail opens it has the annoying 
habit of always selecting a particular item in the Inbox, wherever it might 
have been when closed or shut down.  The logical thing would be to select the 
most recently viewed email.  I can find no setting for this.  Driving my wife 
crazy - comments please - about Mail, not my wife!

Re: Lost movies in iTunes

[Alan Smith]

Hi Ronni

As explained, I keep special movies in the iTunesU category.  This is a 
parallel level to "Movies" (or "TV Shows") categories.  It works well- when 
properly tagged.The problem is how to REMOVE them from the unnamed iTunesU 
collection as they don't display in iTunes or Finder.  I understand the 
structure and tagging of the Movie and TV categories.   Just to terrify you a 
little - I also have one group of movies I keep in the Podcast category, but 
nothing to do with the current problem!

Cheers
Alan

Perhaps that is why you are receiving “unknown iTunesU structure” in iTunes.

All my iMovie or iPhoto slideshow movies & other movies, show in Movies in 
iTunes and in Finder are located:
/Users/ronni/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Movies/x 

Movies generally just need the Title tag, and TV shows need Show, Season 
Number, and Episode Number tags to keep them grouped together.

Lost movies in iTunes

[Alan Smith]

Using iMac with OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.6.1.

I made a mistake while editing tags on 3 movies and now they are invisible in 
iTunes to both eyeballing and spotlight searching.

Movies were created in iMovie and exported to an external Firewire drive.  I 
normally Option-Copy links into iTunes so movies can be viewed on Apple TV 
without creating a physical copy of the movie.   Copied movies appear by 
default in the Films library of iTunes.  For this type of movie I change tags 
and classify the Media Kind  as iTunesU.   My mistake was to leave the Album 
tag blank, which I think is used to name the Collection field within iTunesU.   

iTunes tag data seems to have been written back to the real file on the 
Firewire drive.  I can't re-do the links as iTunes ignores the file as if it 
already exists.   No file path data shows in Finder for these linked movies.  I 
copied a physical file into iTunes, but this is invisible too.   However the 
physical file reveals a path in Finder ... ~/music /itunes /itunes media 
/itunesU /unknown iTunesU /filename.   This Unknown iTunesU folder does not 
display as an iTuneU collection header.

Movies can be seen in Apple TV.  (!)  This just shows the text "3 episodes" 
without a Collection title on a separate line to other iTunesU Collections.  
This infers I have an un-named Collection in iTunesU, but - - -.

How can I access the movies in iTunes to fix the tags?   How can I delete the 
invisible Unknown iTunesU structure in iTunes?  I have older backups of the 
movies (with no iTunes tags) so they could replace the Firewire drive copies if 
necessary. 

Yes, another example of rushing a 5 minute task and spending hours to repair 
the damage.

Regards, Alan
