First, hello all. I'm very new to this program, so please bear with me. I have both the PC and iPod versions, and have managed to upload almost my entire collection to the PC already.

However, I have a very large collection of TV shows on DVDs and I am trying to make the titles all pretty much the same. Ex: CSI: Miami: Season 02; CSI: Miami: Season 03; etc.

Once I have the titles changed, I have tried to make a manual Parent file, to set up a Box Set kind of thing. Unfortunately, the program is giving me trouble. When I try to add the Box Set child files, the titles may or may not be the ones I made.

Any ideas? Please let me know if I need to provide any additional details...

I'm not sure I quite understand... but you're having a problem adding a Manual Box Set parent entry, and then adding Manual Child Profiles to that parent?

When "Adding" a new entry the "By Inserted Disc" tab in the program, just make sure you always have unchecked where it shows "Download profile from Invelos" — and then add whatever you want for your local collection. It shouldn't download any profile updates from invelos then.

A warm welcome to you, Sablerose.

I can't tell what your problem is based on the description you provided.

But I can say what you're attempting to do works just fine.  I have all my TV setup that way.  Fake parent profiles to groups the seasons together.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
Create fake parent profiles to organize your collection.

A Step-By-Step explanation of what you are doing (with screenshots, if possible) would be great.
This way it will be much easier for us to tell you where you picked the wrong direction.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
