ITunes Author view

In some cases (not all) when I have more than one audio book from an author, iTunes list them together under an "unknown" book title under the author's icon. For example: My books of Bill Bryson are all under an "Unknown" folder. They do not appear individually. They do show as a list when I look inside the folder without art as if they are files.
At the same time all my books by Steve Berry appear separately when I click on Steve Berry (author icon).
Also for example when I view author Dan Brown three of the books appear correctly. The fourth (Angels and Demons) have the correct artwork, but the title is shown as "Unknown".
Do you know of this anomaly and how I can correct it?
I am on iTunes 11 but it was the same in iTunes 10.
OS is Moutain Lion. Firefox 17.
(This sounds confusing and I have difficulty explaining as I do not know all the terms necessary to explain it better).

You give two feed URLs: in neither case is there a file present on the server. You say you changed the feed: did you place the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag in the old feed to redirect iTunes? In any case since there is no file present in either case the Store would be unable to read the feed and your podcast appears to have been removed from the Store as a consequence.
You will now need to start again from scratch: once you have a working feed you will have to submit it as an entirely new podcast. You will need to change the title slightly or you will be told it has already been submitted.
Before submitting you should check that your feed works by subscribing to it manually in iTunes, from the File menu in v11 or the Advanced menu in earlier versions.

  • Itunes 11 Author view duplicates appearance of Audiobooks

    (I've changed the name here, to protect the innocent and avoid comments about my taste. I shall call him MisterCreative  and his output an ebook called mybook1 and three audiobooks called mybook1, mybook2 and mybook3)
    I add MisterCreative's ebook, 'mybook1' to my library. (Its .epub format, if that's relevant)
    I then add the audiobook mp3 files for mybook2 to my itunes library. The media kind has defaulted to music and it appears under the music section, so I update the media kind for all the 'songs' that make up the chapters to media kind of Audiobook. The songs disappear from the music list, and as expected can be found under the books view. Selecting the Author tab, I find against MisterCreative two items, as I expect; the audiobook mybook2 and the ebook mybook1. If I click on mybook1 itunes tells me it cant read ebooks (as expected). If I click on mybook2 I see a list of the chapters. (They're not in the right order, but thats a known problem). I double click and the audiobook starts playing. All good so far. Now the problems begin...
    I add audiobook mybook3. Now when I switch to author view, I see 4 items! mybook1, mybook3 but now mybook2 appear twice. I check what mp3 files are being pointed to and it turns out that its not a duplication at the file level just in the author view. Also if I switch to the audiobooks tab everything is as it should be. One instance of mybook2 and one instance of mybook3.
    Then things get far even wierder. I add the audiobook version of mybook1. Now when I go into author view. I find 4 copies of mybook2 and 2 copies of mybook3.
    Wierder still when I click on the ebook version of mybook1 it plays like its an audiobook.
    If I delete one instance of mybook2 - they all vanish and one set of mp3 files ends up in the trash.
    (Note Artists,Sort Artist, etc. have all been set up appropriately)
    Is my library corrupt? Whats going on? Anyone else experienced this?

    There have also been many reports of V11 "splitting" the same album in 2 or more albums in the ARTISTS and ALBUM panes. The only fix (??) seems to be to do a Get Info on all the tracks that obviously belong to an album and append something, (say "XXX"), to the Artist, Album Artist and Album fields and save. Then Get Info again, remove the" XXX" and save. The theory is that iTunes is not properly updating it's cache and that this will force it to do so.
    This is obviously a bug, (and I wouldn't like to have to fix a million albums with this solution), but if it works, you'll be reassured that there's nothing wrong with your library and all you'll have to do is wait for the next iTunes release.
    Yes this trick worked. Thanks.
    I did have to change both the album-artist and the album fields to get it to work as you mentionned... unlike what I had tried initially (juste the album-artist field)
    Thanks !

  • (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

    (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
    I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
    I don't sync  music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
    I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
    I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
    I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
    Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
    When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
    Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them.  Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view.  I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again. 
    These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes.  My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues. 
    Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

    Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

  • How the iTunes Subscription (Viewer Builder 1.5.1 with Professional Edition account) works?

    We're looking for some information appropriate for our purpose, about iTunes subscription on DPS viewer.
    Please look at questions below.
    Q1. What does the "subscribe" button mean at the library screen? If we set a subscription product with one month duration and then our customers purchase for this, can they download all the folios at the library for one month?
    Q2. Why an addiotional "subscribe" button appears on below of the latest folio's "purchase/download" button? Is there any specific reason?
    Q3. We set everything for an iTunes Subscription viewer with 1 month subscription product both on the Viewer Builder 1.5.1 & iTunes connect in-app purchase manager. And we're now testing the developer version's functionality with an iTunes connect test user account. But when we click on the "subscribe" button and follow all the process, the result is nothing different that each folio, independently set as in-app product, is still showing "purchase" button, not "download". Do we misunderstand the function of iTunes Subscription on DPS viewer?
    Thank you.

    Did you try if it actually charges you again ? Maybe it's the same problem like the one users have with already purchased songs, apps, folio's, etc. Upon buying it once again (after removal from the device), the store prompts something like "You've already bought it" ("Yeah I know, me stupid", I always hear my inner voice say) "Would you like to download it again?" ("Of course, why else should I bother, you stupid?") So maybe it's just the wording that might throw you off. Just like I don't like the "Achive" button next to folio's, that actually means (and should say) "Remove" ("Remove from this device, but retain your license"), just like the red-dotted x does with apps. Hey, why not show a red-dotted x ?

  • Word Wrap Lost When Switching Between XML and Author Views

    I compose DITA topics in the XML view with the word wrap option selected. If I switch to the Author view to check something and then return to the XML view, my nicely formatted XML view with all the happy element-nesting tabs goes away. I wind up with an ugly chunk of flush-left code and text that's difficult to read. Is there a reason why FM can't remember the tabs and word wrap when I return to the XML view?
    I'm relatively new to using FM's structured side for DITA, so perhaps I'm missing the obvious solution to this problem. If you know the answer, I'd appreciate if you'd clue me in.
    Thanks!

    Sarah,
    When you switch from XML to Author (or WYSIWYG) view, FM does not "remember" the XML document at all. Instead, internally it creates a structured FM document with the same element structure (possibly modified by the underlying XML application). When you switch back to XML view, it creates a new XML document from the current element structure, thereby preserving any changes you made in Author View. FM is very conservative about writing white space to XML in order to avoid inserting unwanted significant space.
    If you do all your editing in XML View and want to inspect the formatted version of the document without making changes to white space, always make a copy of the XML document (with File > Save As) and use the copy in Author View.

    There's nothing wrong with the 'itunes:author' tag of itself, but it's meaningless without the 'itunes delcaration' in the second line. The first two lines of your feed should look like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <rss xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" version="2.0">
    Even so it doesn't constitute a podcast feed, though I assume you are planning on adding episodes. You may find it helpful to look at this page, which gives you some background and includes a sample basic feed:

    If you have further queries and have got as far as posting the feed to a server it's more useful to have the URL than the text of the feed.

    I have been having similar problems as well. Have been attemtping to install/update iTunes to 10.5 since yesterday to no success - I keep getting errors after which I have to re-install an older version of iTunes, otherwise it doesn't work.
    Hopefully Apple fixes this soon - I want iOS 5. Very unprofessional of Apple to have this.

  • How do I return to the default iTunes MiniPlayer view.

    How do I return to the "default" iTunes MiniPlayer view. I'm stuck in the MiniPlayer "album art" view. I can switch out of Miniplayer but I ca't revert back to the "Player Control" view that hides the album art. Thanks in advance-

    Doesn't work. It results in a black square where the artwork used to be and a mini square next to the controls. I want the miniplayer to be mini....takes up too much real estate on the screen with the open area for the artwork. And moving the corner in reduces everything, not just the black area.

  • HT1420 Is it possible to determine which machines are Itunes authorized?

    Is it possible to determine which machines are Itunes authorized so I can only deauthorize one or is it not possible to see a list of your authorized machines?

    Sorry but no. All you can see is a total account, not a list of individual systems that are authorized. If you want to deauthorize only a single computer, you need to do that from that computer.
    Regards.

  • Having trouble with itunes:author and author tags in rss

    Hello. I have written my own rss sheet and everything is working fine, except I cannot get the artist to show up on iTunes.
    I am using these tags:
    <author></author>
    <itunes:author></itunes:author>
    and I cannot edit the artist information. Everything else works fine. Here is my rss sheet if anyone wants to look. Any ideas?
    http://www.cornerstonechurchofknoxville.com/rssfeed/CCK_Podcast.rss
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Currently, it is not in the iTunes music store as I want to get it up and running first before posting it public as this will represent my church organization. But, you can subscribe to the Podcast manually via going to the menu bar in iTunes.
    Advanced -> Subscribe to Podcast -> url: http://www.cornerstonechurchofknoxville.com/rssfeed/CCK_Podcast.rss
    The Podcast works just fine with the exception of the <author></author> and <itunes:author></itunes:author> tags and I can't figure out why. I've looked at the code and everything seems fine, but I still can't get those tags to work. Any suggestions?

    That looks like the Albums view, and it does not have columns to add.
    If you want to choose columns such as Rating, switch to Songs view.  Then go into View > View Options and make your choices.

  • Can Movies and TV series purchased with iTunes be viewed with ATV?

    Can Movies and TV series purchased with iTunes be viewed with ATV?

    Yes, they can. You can view them either through Home Sharing via your iTunes library or you can stream them from the iTunes Store buttons on the ATV home menu (Movies, TV Shows).

  • TS4062 I purchased a new desktop, downloaded iTunes, & authorized the new computer in iTunes, but, I can't sync with the new computer because I get a message that says "sync will resume when Owner HP is on-line. That was the old computer.

    I purchased a new desktop computer, downloaded iTunes, authorized the computer thru iTunes, but, unable to sync with iPad3. I get a message stating "sync will resume when OWNER HP in on-line. That was the old computer, which no longer has iTunes on it. What can I do?

    You still have to make the new computer and the iTunes library the new syncing library. Did you transfer all of your content into iTunes yet or copy the iTunes library from the old PC to the new one?
    If you no longer have the old computer and did not copy the iTunes library to the new one, read this user tip.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    If you did tranfer everything over, you probably have to set up WiFi syncing again in iTunes in order for the iPad WiFi settings to see your new computer.

  • ITunes List View of Movies on my iPod

    I load movies on and off my iPod Touch all the time using iTunes on my Mac. But it's really a pain in the *** because when I'm viewing my iPod's contents in iTumes and I select the Movies tab, all it will display is an alphabetical list of all the movies with big icons. What I want is just a list, preferably in Date Added order so I can spot the newest movies in my iTunes library.
    Am I mssing something? Is there a way to display a list of movies that I can turn on and off for syncing to my iPod Touch?
    (I'm running the latest Mac OS X and latest iTunes.)
    Thanks for any help.

    First off, do you have a Fifth Generation iPod? If you don't have a Fifth Generation iPod, then you won't be able to play videos on your iPod. (That's the only model of iPod that can play videos.)
    If you do have a Fifth Generation iPod, but your iPod only has a blank screen when you try to play a video, then let's take a look at your TV Out settings.
    From the Main Menu on your iPod, go to "Videos > Video Settings > TV Out". Make sure that this is selected to be either "Off", or "Ask".
