    No.

  • On the Iphone 5 when I select a playlist, it keeps automatically scrolling through songs, I can't get it to stop.  Anyone else having this issue?

    I click the music Icon, then chose "my top rated" playlist.  Then my covers just started scrolling and wouldn't stop even if I selected the back or forward arrows.  Then I tried going back to the main menu in music and it won't do that, its like it is stuck.  Just curious if anyone else has experience the same issue and what fixed it.  Guess I could reset my phone.   I have only had it for 3 weeks now.

    I had the exact same problem.. and thank you for the answer..
    It actually makes sense, but I had the 'bouncing camera' problem and never thought of the 'slide'..
    Dohhhhh
    cheers for the post

  • I cannot select a previous page without scrolling through all of them

    The latest version 4 does not seem to have an option to select a previous page from a drop down list, alongside the forward/back buttons top left of page

    You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.

  • Is it possible to watch a previously purchased movie on Apple TV without having to turn on my computer?

    I just bought a 3rd gen Apple TV. I have some movies on my MacBook which I purchased through the iTunes store. I know I can watch those movies on my Apple TV, but is it possible to watch those movies on my Apple TV WITHOUT having to turn on my computer? In other words, does iCloud support movies, and if so, can apple TV access them directly? My MacBook is on the third floor, and my living room is on the first floor, so I just want to avoid having to turn on my laptop everytime I want to watch one of those movies.

    Your past purchases. Available on all your devices.
    Now you can download music, movies, and TV shows you’ve previously purchased to all your devices. When you buy from iTunes, iCloud stores your purchase history. So you can see what you’ve bought — no matter which device you bought it on. You can access your purchase history from the iTunes Store on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV. And since you already own the songs, albums, movies, or TV shows in your purchase history, you can tap to download them to any of your devices

  • Changing Browser to Album Artist?

    Hello,
    I've got iTunes 7 on my PC and have a question about Browsing by Album Artist:
    Can I change the "browser" (turn-on-and-off-able bit at the top of the main song selecty window) to work off "Album artist" instead of/as well as Artist?
    Just to fill in what I already know, and to help people who are confused or stuck with iTunes organising things into folders where they don't want them stored...
    I have worked out so far that I can fill in Artist and album artist (as I always did in WMP to keep things organised) so I can put Various Artists or the DJ/Compiler/Record Label in Album Artist, and the actual Artist in the Artist hole.
    I also noticed that I need to check "Compliation" to make it store it in my HDD under Album artist so it doesn't confuse the **** out of me by spreading everything around into individual song artist directories and stuffing me live when DJing and looking for a particular "record" using Atomix Virtual DJ (which goes by the file structure in windows).
    In the main window view I can sort all music by album artist by clicking on that title in the complete song list of all music, (and it being a "compilation").
    Also in the big CD cover browsing view (which is nice btw!) it sorts by album artist. Yay! Marvellous!
    However, because I have loads of CDs, sometimes if I'm not having a browse and want to go straight to a CD I'd like to be able to use the 1st or 2nd browser view. If I want a Blue Note Compilation, Various Artists, any of my soundtrack albums, or DJ/Record label compilations I have to scroll all the way up and down the long list. If for example I wanna listen to "Keep it solid Steel" by Mr. Scruff, if I choose him in the artist box it won't have anything off that album as it's a compilation by him, and will only show his own songs. WMP will go by Album Artist (even though it actually says Artist in the left Colum on the new WMP11 beta), but I'd rather use iTunes as it seems faster and nicer generally (and has useful things like the backup option). If iTunes does this it'll definitely be my media player of choice.
    If this isn't possible, any chance of iTunes 8 being able to select what options you can sort by at the top of the browser?
    The only way I've found is to type "Various", "Warp", "Blue Note", etc. in the search box
    It seems very frustrating to me if you can't, especially since like all media players iTunes comes with "Genre" which seems far less useful amongst the widely varying crossover artists, styles, and vibes, that music comes in! Can anyone tell me if Lamb are Dance, Drum n' bass, Jazz n Bass, Electronica, Trip-Hop, Hip-hop, Trance, Soul, Pop, Alternative Pop, Jazz? Heck, today I discovered a handful of new musical genres including "Wonky Trance" and "Clown Step"! (see wikipedia if you don't believe me!)

    Bollocks! No, it doesn't work nicely as they all appear in the wrong track order! Doh!
    I noticed other people have brought this up before in the forum.
    I sent a feedback to Apple. Here it is for those of you having the same problem, or who agree, or who don't understand what I'm on about:
    Hello,
    I've just changed to using iTunes a few weeks ago as it has some nicer user functions (was previously using windows media player) and it's making me very frustrated...
    I store all my albums (well over 10,000 tunes I've collected for YEARS on CD!) by the way they come on the CD; by Track Artist for the Artist and Album Artist for the Album artist. Normally for e.g. Michael Jackson, Artist and Album Artist will be the same. For compilation/DJ mix ablums this means the Album Artist will be Various Artists, the DJ/Production Crew, or Record label as applicable. If, for example, I want to listen to my Jazzanova Remixes album I can sort by album artist, choose Jazzanova, and get all the tunes on that album, whilst artist points out who each individual track is by (that Jazzanova remixed). Likewise, if I scroll to "various artists" in album artist I'll get compilation albums, or a particular DJ/collective such as by Mr. Scruff, Blue Note records compilations, etc., etc.
    Also this applies to artists where the album may be one artist, but each song artist may be that artist + another, e.g. Artist being Eminem & Dr Dre, Eminem & Dido, Eminem (feat. Joe Bloggs), etc., whilst the Album remains filed under the "Album Artist" of Eminem so I don't get millions of "X with/featuring Y" artists and spreading my albums out in a big mess.
    The problem of iTunes filing them in different artist folders for each track on that album on my harddrive can be overcome by making them a "compilation", then it seems to store in Compilation instead.
    However, it seems to insist on filing secondarily by artist, not track number/and album, when album artist is selected. This then messes the list up completely as, if I use the artists "Coldcut" as an example, when I go to Coldcut as an album artist it displays the beginning of the "Journeys by DJ" album by coldcut (album artist) from "track artists" alphabetically A->C until it gets to the Coldcut songs on it, then has a completely different coldcut album (Sound Mirrors) of which all tracks are written by Coldcut and the album artist is Coldcut, then finishes the "Journeys by DJ" album by coldcut with the rest of the track artists from Coldcut->Z!
    The only way around this seems to be to file by album, then scroll all the way through loads of tunes to get to that particular album, defeating the idea of an easily organised music collection!
    This problem is made worse by the fact if I have "browse by compilations" on to help, and use the browser at the top, Artist only chooses by track artist. I then need to go to Compilations and (assuming I remember it's called "Journeys by DJ" since I can't go straight to Compilation Artist) click on the album, from a list of all my "various artist" and DJ/remix/record label compilations.
    At this point it gets worse as having chosen the album (for the sake of this example "Journeys by DJ" by Coldcut) all the tracks then appear in track artist alphabetical order since it's either still being browsed by Album Artist as I would have had my records diplayed by that to begin with and it sorts secondarily by track Artist. Alternatively it could be sorted by (track) "Artist" since I'd browsing by compilation. Regardless since I would have narrowed it down to one album with the browser function so "album artist" will all be the same for all tracks, it makes no difference - it is going to be listed alphabetically by track artist.
    This means therefore, that unless the album is alphabetically sorted by artist to begin with it comes up in the wrong order!!! Therefore when you play your lovely expertly DJ mixed compiation you bought on CD all the crossfades between tracks don't happen as the album's in the wrong order!!!
    You can get around this by then clicking displaying "Track number" too. This seems silly though as normally in a normal view it already shows them at the front of the track listing. You therefore have to have them displayed twice, and then after going into compilations, choosing the album, you then have to sort by track number each time! If you do this, whenever you go back to the rest of your albums they then have all the track 1's first, then all the track 2's, and again you have to change what you sort by (Album Artist or Artist) to make them sensible again!
    As you can imagine this is a pain! It happens with all my Various Artist albums, and various other DJ artists such as Mr. Scruff, and soundtrack albums, or record label compilations too!
    The obvious possible answers to this problem are:
    a) when sorting by the column "Album Artist" make it search secondarily, after Album Artist, by album then track number, then finally "(track) Artist" after that (in case there are no track numbers!).
    b) make "artist" in the browser search by "Album Artist" not artist. This is what Windows Media Player does (even though it actually says "Artist" in the broswer), and goes by track "Artist" if there is nothing in the "Album Artist" tag field. it will then search by album and track number, but not Album artist followed by Artist. The browser could also be set to search in both Artist and Album Artist fields to save me having to go through all my 40+ compilations to find an album I know is by coldcut or Mr Scruff. If it did I could just turn "Browse by Compilation" off in preferences and get the same effect. Regardless to stop the wrong ordering it needs to not organise by Artist secondarily if I have it organised by album artist.
    Whether the "Artist" in the broswer does Artist/Album Artist/or both could be set in preferences? Also this could change it to file in folders on the harddrive by Album Artist too. I'd far rather have my Coldcut, Jazzanova, & Mr. Scruff, etc. albums in Coldcut, Jazzanova, & Mr. Scruff directories, so when I browse my harddrive it's obvious who they are by rather than apparently being by "Compilation"!
    Regardless iTunes should try to put things in the library view in order of Album and track number as much as possible when I have it organised by Album Artist. As mentioned I had been using WMP 10 & 11 beta until recently, but I changed as iTunes seems to work faster and smoother, and has the handy backup feature and seemless playback so I made the shift. The seamless playback made me instantly go to try DJ mix albums to hear them seamless, hence why I became frustrated very quickly!
    Also I intend to get a Mac as my next computer so I won't have the option of WMP!
    Another thing I noticed was the "Remember position" tag under the "get info" section when you have multiple selections. I wondered if this could change the order it plays them in but didn't seem to do anthing and can't find mention of it in the help or on the forum! What's that for?
    If I'm being stupid and there's an easy way to make it work let me know, but I've tried as many things as I can think of, but I think it's reasonable not to have to keep changing the way everything is displayed in the library view to find an album and play it in the right order. I want it to work like the pile of CDs on my shelves and appear as I got them in the record store! If not Microsoft might have finally made something that seems to work in a more user friendly way than Apple, and that can't be right!
    ...as you can see I also pointed out that it might be nice to be able to get iTunes to file my Mr. Scruff, Coldcut, Jazzanova, etc. compilation/DJ albums on my hard drive by the Artist who released them (or by "various artists"); the same place I'd find them in the record shop I bought them from, and the main name on the album cover of the CD!
    I DJ too (using Virtual DJ) and hence DO care about where I find these files on my hard drive, and would like to be able to find them based on the Album Artist! Also when I copy tunes over to my MP3 player, again I want them filed like the CDs I bought them on! I'm not just wingeing about this point for no reason. Obviously you don't care where they actually are stored on your HDD if it's only ever iTunes you play files with, and own an iPod where it automatically copies files for you, but it makes a big difference to me!

  • Is it possible to play songs by artist on IPod Nano gen 7th ?

    I can play songs by album on my new Ipod Nano 7th generation
    Is it possible to play songs by artists on Ipod Nano ?
    Thank you for your help

    when you click on artists, and then select the artist you want, it can ither go straight through all of the chosen artist's albums and songs in cd order, or you can put it on shuffle mode so it can put songs in a random order.

  • What is the method for folder-browsing and selecting a non media file type in Android? [Air+AS3]

    Dear Gurus,
    Being a newbie, I have been searching hi & low for the method to browse and select non-media related file type in android.
    Besides the following these which I have reference from the AS3 Documentation (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7fe4.html#WS5b3cc c516d4fbf351e63e3d118676a4c56-7ff0)
    var fileToOpen = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("");
                                  selectFile(fileToOpen);
                                  function selectFile(root:File):void
                                                 //var txtFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter ("3D Model File", "*.obj; *.3ds;*.awd");
                                                 root.browseForOpen("Open",null);
                                                 root.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectedFile);
                                  function selectedFile(e:Event):void
                                                 trace(fileToOpen.nativePath + " file selected");
    I have went through the following threads yet find no clear workable solution to it.  The closest reference is written in Flex MXML, and I have no luck for converting it to AS3 as there are several properties which I can't get it right.

    Someone did mention some possible solutions through ANE but it is just too far beyond.  Even, the closest on-the-shelf solution of ANE by http://myappsnippet.com/file-browser-air-extension/ only work best to an extent and not truely "native" as the UI is not default from Android.  It has workable I/O but poor usability; you can't skin it.
    Is there any other workaround solution to this general I/O question?  I would love to hear from everyone here.

    The short answer to my knowledge is there is nothing you can invoke from AIR to open an OS-level dialog to browse/select a file. All implementations typically are people writing their own browser. They crawl the folders/files recursively and write their own display for the files. You can see a few on SO:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12255418/as3-air-browse-for-file-on-sd-card
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12257626/as3-get-zip-file-on-phone-from-app-file-path-t hen-unzip
    It's not to terribly hard to code something like this (especially with that starter code). Otherwise, like you found, an on-the-shelf ANE is the only way I believe you can invoke the Android Intent for a file dialog. At that point skinning won't really be terribly easy given the nature of Android users who are completely allowed to customize their UI top to bottom.
    The safest bet is just let that posted code recurse and find the files you tell it to while displaying the list to the user. You can use some pre-written GPU-level lists that you can skin yourself using FeathersUI:
    http://www.feathersui.com (uses Starling)
    Or you can use one of the Flash Pro List components which will be quite a bit slower being they're not GPU optimized like some Flex Spark components.

  • Is it not possible to give the select single field without an into clause

    Hi,
    i have to check whether my input value( only one filed) is available in the table.
    for eg i need to check whether company code is available in the table t001.
    then i will give .
    data lv_bukrs type t001-bukrs.
    lv_bukrs = 1010.
    select single bukrs from t001 where bukrs = lv_bukrs.
    here its asking for me to give a vaible to store the bukrs that is
    select single bukrs into dummyvalue from t001 where bukrs = lv_bukrs.
    Is it not possible to give the select single fieldname without an into clause

    Its Possible by declaring the tables statement
    <b>tables : AFKO.
    select single * from AFKO where <condition>.</b>
    If SINGLE is specified, the resulting set has a single line. If the remaining additions to the SELECT command select more than one line from the database, the first line that is found is entered into the resulting set. The data objects specified after INTO may not be internal tables, and the APPENDING addition may not be used. The addition ORDER BY can also not be used.
    An exclusive lock can be set for this line using the FOR UPDATE addition when a single line is being read with SINGLE. The SELECT command is used in this case only if all primary key fields in logical expressions linked by AND are checked to make sure they are the same in the WHERE condition. Otherwise, the resulting set is empty and sy-subrc is set to 8. If the lock causes a deadlock, an exception occurs. If the FOR UPDATE addition is used, the SELECT command circumvents SAP buffering.
    Notes
    When SINGLE is being specified, the lines to be read should be clearly specified in the WHERE condition, for the sake of efficiency. When the data is read from a database table, the system does this by specifying comparison values for the primary key.
    If accessing tables for which SAP buffering is planned for single records, the SAP buffer is bypassed if the addition SINGLE is not specified. This behavior depends on the current implementation of the database interface and may change in future releases. In particular, it should not be used to bypass the SAP buffer. You should use the explicit addition BYPASSING BUFFER for this instead.
    The addition SINLGE is not permitted in a subquery.

  • Is it possible to debug the selection screen???

    Hi Frdz,
    Is it possible to debug the selection screen.
    eg: if i want to know what is happening in PBO and PAI modules of the selection screen i am not able to debug that.
    Even in code if i click on MODULES present in PBO and PAI modules it is saying MODULE doesnot exist!!!!. So i can't put the break point. even if i press /h it will go to Report events like INITIALIZATION, AT SELECTION-SCREEN but not PBO and PAI modules!.
    Also what is the meaning of exclamatory mark here(Before select option name)
    MODULE !SO_UDATE.
    MODULE !SO_UNAME.
    Thanks,
    Vinod.

    Hi Vinod,
    Double click on the module and then put the break point for the first statement of it. It will work.
    Reward points if useful.
    Thanks,

  • Browser Shows Wrong Artist

    Here's the situation:
    I am using the Sort Artist field to combine similar artists within the iTunes Browser view. My problem shows up nicely in the following situation: I have two albums with Artist set to "Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers". I have three albums with Artist set to "Tom Petty". I want them all to appear in the iTunes Browser under one Artist entry: Tom Petty.
    If I set the Sort Artist of one of the two "Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers" albums to "Tom Petty", that album is removed from the 'Heartbreakers' entry in the Browser and is placed under "Tom Petty". So far so good.
    I then go to the last remaining 'Heartbreakers' album and do the same thing. Now, however, I no longer have a "Tom Petty" entry in my browser. The entry reads "Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers", even though all of the albums under that artist have their Sort Artist field set to "Tom Petty".
    There are many examples of similar behavior, even of a single track on an album dictating the Artist that album appears under within the Browser. Anyone seeing similar behavior? Any ideas to fix? How can I be a music dork if I can't have complete control of the sorting of my tracks.
    Jason

    I have the same problem. I wish there was a place to submit to a bug report.
    My best guess is that this naming behavior is a shortcut leftover from the time when iTunes didn't have 'Sort by Artist.' At that time, there could only be one artist per browser entry, so it was safe to simply display the artist of the first track. Now, since the first track in the category 'Tom Petty' is actually by 'Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' (in your case), the old heuristic pulls that name for the name of the browser entry. They simply need to change the rule so that it displays the 'Sort Artist.'

    You can surely do a selection from a projection and database view but not from a maintenance view.
    The selection from a view works like a normal selection only.
