ITunes opens to "Albums" rather than "Songs"

Hello to all. I am new to this community. I recently updated iTunes on my Macbook Pro. It now always opens up to "Albums" rather than to "Songs" and I can't find a way to change that setting so that it opens to the ""Songs" list. Is there a way to do this? Thank you.

as far as i know its yet another feature that apple have bizarrely removed from itunes
previous versions would simply remember what view mode you where in when you last opened the window
along with some other pretty major features removed from version 11 it makes me wonder why all the useful functions are being removed and simply no useful functions added ?

ITunes opens to "ALBUMS" instead of "SONGS".

I want iTunes to open to "SONGS" when I open it and sometimes it does but often it opens to "ALBUMS" instead. Is there a setting for this? Thanks.

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs?

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs? When I view the music stored on my iMac, I get a choice to view by Songs, Artists, Albums, Composers, etc. But I don't get any choice with the music on my iPhone.
Its really hard to manage the music on my iPhone. I want to quickly remove albums and add new ones.
Is there a solution that I haven't seen?

Create a playlist, add/delete albums and sync this playlist.
You don't need to manually manage the iPhone music to do this.

After playing the song I selected in iTunes 11 it jumps to the another album rather than playing the next song on the original album I selected. ***? How do I fix this?!?!?

I found that clearing the "Up Next" list fixes the problem. But I have to clear that list everytime I just want to hear just that one album. Each time I select on song on the album, the "Up Next" list builds it's own list rather than just play through the album. I think this has something to do with the issue. How can I fix this?!?!

How can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up but song and artist?

how can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up by song and artist? I've got loads of albums on iTunes that are compliations and they are all mixed up by track/ artist. Even when you click 'show album' it still just shows the album title and then the artist in alphabetical order - so the album is replicated several times
Can anyone tell me how to amalgamate compliation albums please?

Why does Firefox keep opening new Windows rather than a new Tab in the current window?

I have " Open a new Tab in the current Window" select in Preferences.
Why then does this version (Version 4) keep opening new Windows, rather than new Tabs in the current Window.
This feature worked fine in 3.6.1.3, but in Version 4, it is a frigging pain in the rigging!
C'mon, Mozilla - time for an URGENT update ...

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

How can I display a compilation album as one album rather than as separate songs? (each different artist shows with the same album art)

I want a compilation album, consisting of different artists, to all be included within the one album folder. Currently when scrolling through my ipod classic each artist has its own album folder, even though they originate from the same album e.g. "The Best Rock 'n' Roll Album in the World Ever" consists of two discs (50 songs). Each artist's song shows as a 'separate album' of one song, each with the same album artwork. I want all of those on Disc 1 to be under one album cover and similarly for those on Disc 2.

Select all the tracks on disc 1 and via Get Info, change the Album Artist to Various Artists and turn on the compilation flag. This is iTunes 12:
Then repeat for disc 2.

Cannot change preference for JPG file to open in browser rather than download Mac OS 10.5.8

I want to view individual jpg files uploaded to my mobileme account. The URL ends in .jpg. I can view the files as webpages in Safari, but with Firefox, my only choice is to download the file. I tried to change the preferences>applications>jpeg picture>to "use other" but the drop down menu goes right back to always ask. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, and restarted my computer. I have two other macs running 10.5.8, and this happens on both. When I type the same URL into my mac running 10.6.3, a dialog box appears that gives me the option of choosing which application to open the file with (in this case Firefox, so that I can view the file in a web page) rather than just downloading the file. The dialog box in the 10.5.8 doesn't give me the option of choosing an app, only "Save File" or "Cancel". I'm sorry if this is long-winded.

Bridge auto opens PS CS6 rather than CC

I just upgraded from Photoshop CS6 to CC. When using the Tool Menu in Bridge, to perform a step in Photoshop (for example, create a Contact Sheet or Image Processor), my older version CS6 of Photoshop automatically opens to perform the function, rather than the newer version of CC. How do I change that?

How do I get javadoc to open in window rather than tab?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to get javadoc to open in a new window rather than a tab?
Thanks,

At this time that feature is not available. If you are trying to view Javadoc and Code at the same time you can try a split pane view that places both documents side-by-side.

Songs only appear on my phone when i search the album rather than appear when i select the artist, how can i put them on the artist as well?

songs appear when i search the album on my phone but not under the artist, how can i change it so they show in the artist section as well?

Wish I did. I tried the group function but that didn't help in iTunes. The search function is the best I came up with. I can answer the question do you have susch and such artist. But I can't browse for an artist I don't remember exactly or have misspelled. Fortunately I don't think I've bought anything from iTunes that i already had. If you can't see an artist it's possible you think you don't have something you actually do have. Sorry, still hoping for a better work around or better yet a fix.

Syncing and single album rather than my entire itunes library.

I have an album I would like to move to my iphone. It is on a different computer than I normally use. I can link my iphone up but if I choose to sync with it, it will remove everything I have added from my other computer. I just want to add a single album, I don't want to sync with this second machine.
Is there a way to simply create a playlist on the second computer and then only sync that playlist without it removing everything else I already have on the phone?
thanks,
ryan

Man that is just crazy. How many of us have a PC for a work computer and a Mac at home. Obviously most people have music on both. Now, you are saying I can only pull music from one or the other. More so, I have two Macs and three PCs and due to HD space, etc... I don't want to keep all of my music on one machine. The fact that I can only bring music from one PC to another at any given time means I am going to have to setup a home network and a shared music directory so that all of my itunes can have the same files. I'll prbably need to go out and buy a huge HD to hold all of the music in a unified location. This is pretty lame since I can take my ipod anywhere and hook it to any machine and drag the files I want right onto it. That is a much preferable method. It is almost hard to believe they would have made this so restrictive. This phone is so cool and yet has so many of these potholes.

Audio/Movie Files Open in QuickTime Rather than iTunes

I work with online classes at a college, and we have been posting m4a and m4v files in our online courses. we put the actual files on our Mac server and post the links to the files on course webpages.
Question: In the past, when students clicked on an audio/video link, they got the option to "Open/Save/Cancel" (on a Windows machine), or, if they had the files associated with iTunes, clicking the link would trigger the file to open in iTunes. Now, all the links are automatically launching with QuickTime with no options given.
We really need files to either open with iTunes or have the save option. Any ideas about how to stop QuickTime from grabbing the files?

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago, but nobody gave me a reply. I don't know if it helps in your case, but I eventually found out it was my firewall blocking the download.
I could view SD trailers but not the HD ones for some reason.
