iTunes is an integral part of being able to manage your iPhone, iPod, or iPad and knowing the latest tips and tricks can help you save time and get more done. For example, if you want to add album artwork to your song library, it is very easy to do just by clicking on File, then Library and then Get Album Artwork. Or, you can go to your iTunes Store preferences by clicking on iTunes, then Preferences and then Store. When you are in the Store preferences section, you can enable an option called “Share details about your Library with Apple”. Choosing to enable this option will prompt iTunes to automatically retrieve album covers and additional information related to your library so you don’t have to do it manually.
The quickest and easiest way to build new playlists is to find the songs you want to use and then select them by clicking and holding down on your mouse. From that point you can then drag the song to the right of your screen. When you are dragging the song a sidebar will appear that will allow you to drop each song into the playlist you would like to create.

If you want to place movies in other categories other than what they are added to by default you can simply right click on them and then choose the Get Info option. From that point, under the Options tab, choose Film, TV Show, and then Music Video from the Media Kind list.

Ringtones have been renamed as Tones for quite some time now although most people still refer to them as ringtones.
