2 very frustrating things about list view

Hope you can help...
Two things frustrate me a lot about list view in iTunes 8, and I can't quite bring myself to believe that these are design flaws, so I hope there's something I'm doing wrong myself, and that someone can help.
1 - if I go to the main 'Music' window and type in a song name in the search bar, it'll list the song, which is fine. If then want to go the album from that song, it looks like I'm stuck - I have to start a new search (I'm pretty sure WMP provides a 'jump to album' menu choice). There's an arrow, but that takes me to the iTunes Store (sometimes even the wrong album), which seems utterly, utterly pointless to me. Anyway round this?
2 - slightly less frustrating, but - in the 'Purchased' view in iTunes, is there any way to show albums with the track listing in the right order? Again, struggle to believe that Apple sell us this music, give us a specific button to hit to see what we bought off them, and then don't let us to listen to albums in the intended order. Again - something I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

There's a few things you can do.
There's an arrow, but that takes me to the iTunes Store
Hold alt or ctrl and click the arrow to show you that Artist or Album in yoru library, not th estore.
iTunes menu View-> Show browser.
This will show the Genre, Artist and Album of everything.
When you search for a song, it will display only the Genres, Artists and Albums of the songs that match. Select one of those to display everything for that selection.
Click the little arrow at the left of the first column to show artwork then click on the Artist or Album column header. This will sort and group the songs by Artist and Album.

The very best thing about the retina display

Do you know what is the best thing about the retina display? the answer is they've solved the issue of the dead and stuck pixels thing you know how because the pixels are very very small so u can't see if it's working or not some day you will walking around holding your new ipad and you don't even know the plenty pixels that are dead and you can't notice them HAHAHA that was a good one LOVE YA APPLE.

I doubt that's the reason Apple spent the money on retina displays, but a good observation.

Help only had verzion for a few days and very frustrated. About to return

So we have been with sprint for over 9 years. And have been happy with their service... However our friend has verzion and was using it @ our house and we noticed how much faster it was so we decided to switch....... Black Friday we wanted a deal of course. We wanted the iPhone 5s, walmarts had the best deal we waited and then they told us they had a problem with activation between them and verzion....... So they put us on the "list" well they didn't call us back.... So Saturday we went out looking again. Target had a similar deal although it was still more expensive for the phones. We signed up and got 2 iPhones . We also wanted a hotspot they said they didn't have them and had to wait. Although there was a banner in target sayin they had them.... Again we were put on the list..... No call ..... So now we go to get our hotspot and now they are telling us they won't honor the waived activation.... I called verzion and spoke with a rep about wanting to purchase the hotspot and not being able to. They said any promotions such as the waived activation would be noted .. Since there was availability problems..... Now I called verzion and they say there is no note on our account... Also I am a authorized user on the account. Which they have verified again each time I call they act like I speak a foreign language..... And have to verify I am on the account again..... So they can't keep that straight so I see how they don't see our promotion "note in our account........ "
Help someone at verzion has to be able to see the note or see that we did get our phones on the waived activation. And waive the activation on the hot spot like we were promised..... Come on why make some one mad over something like this within the return period?
Help some with some common sense p,ease help a new customer
Ps thank god we did not port over our sprint numbers yet, Help
The rep I talked to earlier simply said they could not help me and some one would call me which hasn't happened..... Big surprise...
Verzion please respond to me via this message or text us please

We are post pay, normal contract customers. Right now we have our sprint phones still..... It was a just in case verzion didn't work well....
I mean a 2 year contract with 2 iPhones and a hot spot with 10 gig is what $200+ for 24 months is close to $5k ......
So they won't keep a promise to waive a activation fee of $35 on a out of stock item.....
That just doest make any sense to me...
Oh yeah btw the card is currently on sale @ walmart for $a dollar... Through verzion they are $20... That is the reason we didn't get it through verzion directly in the first place....... Again that is the reason I called verzion to make sure they would honor the waived activation fee......
I feel I already paid a extra $50 due to verzion and their in-ability to keep their computers up and running with the biggest retailer on the biggest retail day....
I sure don't want to pay another $35 because if their in ability......
How much do I have tp pay if we return them.... Target doesn't charge a restocking fee that I am aware of... But I have a weeks with of limited usage so do they pro rate the month based onnthe days you had it?
Or would some one from verzion. Please help us and keep verzion promise to waive the activation fee on our device we want to purchase....

One very nice thing about ATV2

You can setup any TV remote to control ATV2, did you know that ?
I have 4 equipments in my home entertainment center and I use just one Remote to control all.
1 - Samsung Led TV
2 - Samsung DVD Player
3 - Samsung Music Center
4 - ATV2
One Original Samsung TV remote controls all. That's awesome.

Could you go into more detail about how you do this? I've got a Samsung TV and would love to control my ATV with the same remote as the TV. I can't find any information about this in the TV manual...
the appletv has a "learn" mode where you can program it to use any remote.

I am new to Windows 8 and would like to view my .pdf's (like I could in Windows XP) on a window I can shrink so I can open additional software and shrink so both pages are open next to each other on the window. I am very frustrated at this point with Wi

PLEASE HELP!

Many people have this experience with Windows 8, which is becoming a byword for unpopularity.
Still, a bit of basic understanding is important. People have got used to just getting a new version of Windows and using it, without training or study. Not any more, thanks to Microsoft's bright ideas.
Here are some very crucial things about Windows 8.
1. Windows 8 has a new kind of app (program). These new kinds of apps take over the whole screen. Microsoft thinks these are the future. I won't tell you what I think. Except, if this new world is so great, why don't Microsoft use it for their own Office apps. A
2. The old world of Windows 7 and before is still available with most Windows 8 computers, except some cheap tablets and phones. Microsoft like to call this an app called "Desktop" which is really all of the old-fashioned, windows-can-be-resized, apps together.
3. Most apps are "new world" or "old world". Everything in the App Store is new world - that's the rule. A few apps (like Internet Explorer) can run in either world.
4. Windows 8 comes with a PDF reader "out of the box". This runs only in the new world and it's called "Microsoft Reader". Don't bother with it.
5. Adobe produce a "new world" PDF reader called "Adobe Reader Touch". Marginally better than Microsoft Reader, it's just not a patch on the old one; there are loads of things it doesn't do, and worst of all it's always full screen because Microsoft said so. No need to use it. Just download the old world Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader as usual. (Be sure to turn off the unwanted "free offers"!!)

List view problems in calendars

Help! All of a sudden I have developed a problem with the list view on my iphone calendar. Events are showing up with incorrect dates, but ARE correct on the page views and month views. For example, an event correctly showing as 25 Oct on month view, reads as 11 Oct in list view. If I select the entry from the list view, the data is correctly recorded under the actual event. Can anyone help? My days get very busy and the list view is invaluable for a quick scan through! Cheers!

Thankfully now resolved - it was simply a case of switching of the calendars on MobileMe on my iphone, waiting a minute or two and then switching them back on again!

Very simple question about webapp list layout.

Hi Everyone!
I am having a very simple issue. I have created a web app and it has a default list layout looks like:
<table><tbody><tr><td>{tag_counter}. {tag_name}</td></tr></tbody></table>
I have placed web app module (using {module_webapps,14273,a} ) in one of my page. In front-end it has show every thing fine except it shows table tag for each item:
<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>1. <a href="/lot/lot-101">Castlepoint Lot 101</a></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>2. <a href="/lot/efg-lot">EFG Lot</a></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>3. <a href="/lot/some-lot">Some Lot</a></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>4. <a href="/lot/some-other-lot">Some Other Lot</a></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
When I delete table and tbody tags from list view, it stop showing table related tags instead it start showing it without any tag.
How to correct this issue? Please help!!!

Here is what you can do:
-edit the webapp list layout via FTP or via the "alpha" File Manager. The WYSIWYG editor will attempt to "correct" your HTML code. Enter something like this:
<tr>
<td>
{tag_counter}. {tag_name}
</td>
</tr>
-on the page you need the listing placed on enter this code:
<table>
<tbody>
{webappmodule here}
</tbody>
</table>
When the page renders you will get the desired result:
<table>
<tbody>
<tr><td>1</td><td>Item1</td></tr>
<tr><td>2</td><td>Item2</td></tr>
<tr><td>3</td><td>Item3</td></tr>
<tr><td>4</td><td>Item4</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>

On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

HT202157 So why doesn't the new software upgrade the Apple TV to 1080hp...from the 720hp? Do I have to buy a new Apple TV to get that Upgrade? Mine is only about 2 months old! Very frustrating if thats the case!

If you want 1080, you will need to purchase the new Apple TV.

List view, sizes seem to load very slowly

I do not have "calculate all sizes" on. When I view the applications folder in list view, I do have column set to show size, however. I am amazed at how slowly that size colunm takes to fill in from the dashes. Is this how it is suppose to behave.

As others have said, calculating the contents of folders takes a long time. Unlike in the past, most applications in OS X are actually application "packages", which are actually folders (eg. ctrl-clicking on one should have a "Show Package Contents" item in the contextual menu).
In the past, sizes were not automatically shown for application packages unless the "calculate sizes" option was selected in the "Finder" - they were treated as folders (which they are). I remember this distinctly because it annoyed me - packages being treated as a single item when double-clicking while not carrying through the concept to calculating sizes. But on the flip side, this behaviour was helpful in distinguishing between .nib files and .nib folders from the GUI.
In Leopard, the "Finder" now does treat packages as a single item when it comes to displaying sizes. So the "delay" you describe may not be that the "Finder" is slower but rather that it is doing more since it now has to calculate all of the application package sizes, which it was always slow at.

HT4946 "List View" in Calendar!!??!?!?!?

Am I the only one who wants "List View" back in the new Calendar App?!?!?? This is sooooo frustrating! In iOS7 when it was only available under the "search" option, that was annoying. But now, with iOS7.1, Apple has removed it all together!!!

Thank you for your nice reply. Well, I didn't realize this particular thread was about this List View problem in the iPhone -- I've spent about half an hour reading similar complaints in other threads about iOS 7 in general.
The Search icon is a Search icon, not a List View icon for the List View function. The Search icon annoyingly opens up the keyboard, which I don't need to have a look (View) of upcoming events. Secondly, the pseudo list view that appears does NOT code the events by calendar color.
I bet you a 128GB iPad Air that this limitation is annoying to, yes, thousands of iPad users. It's not arrogance, it's purely statistics, since there are literally millions of iOS 7 users in the world.
Briefly, instead of restoring a very simple List View option, what Apple is telling thousands of customers is: "You don't NEED a list view in your iPad anymore. But if you believe you do, click on an icon which is not for a list, but for Search, and which will open a keyboard that you don't need, close the keyboard, and try to guess which calendar the events that will appear belong to -- personal, professional, holidays... you name it! However (Apple continues) if you have an iOhone, you DO NEED a specific icon for an event list. Or, else, waste your time trying to find a roundabout way to do what a few months ago, in the Old Times of iOS 6, you used to do with a click".
That's Apple's (il)logic for its mistakes, and the rest is just justifications.

Calendar list view and search go back only 1 year

I have a new iPhone 4S (IOS5). Calendar List view shows entries only back to a year ago, yet Day, Month and Week views show all my entries going back to Oct 2008. Perhaps related: the monthly views in Reminders also go back just one year. A friend with an iPhone 4 and upgraded to IOS5 doesn't have this problem (with her Calendar; I don't know about her Reminders).
The problem also affects my global (Spotlight) searches as well, so I can't find entries earlier than Oct 2010. Is there some setting I have that may be causing this?
I should say that this problem existed for me on my 3G phone that I just replaced with the 4GS. But all the other Calendar problems I had with the old phone and IOS4 appear to be fixed. Only the one described above remains.
One more thing: My PC is Windows and I don't sync my Calendars with Outlook (or anything else, of course). When I used to do that I would get duplicate entries and other problems. (If I need to restore a lost Calendar entry, I'll use my iPhone backup, which runs every night when I sync my phone).
Is this a known Calendar problem still existing with IOS5?

FYI for those equally frustrated, I did place this in Feedback - not that it will result in an answer anytime soon. Why don't you do it too - get some momentum on this!

Missing views dropdown on list view web part.

I asked this before, and it got moved to "admin" with no replies. I really need to know this. I think it may be appropriate for design and customization, because I think that's what the solution may require. It doesn't appear to be an "admin" issue.
Any help will be gratefully received. I am very frustrated by this. The "View:" dropdown list on the right side of the list view web part for my document libraries is not available. The truly weird thing is that in a few cases, it is there, but I can't tell any difference between those web parts or DLs and the ones without the views drop-down. I have defined several public views for each document library. There are no "closed" web parts on the page (which was one suggestion I got).
I can't figure out why the views menu sometimes appears and sometimes does not, when there appears to be no way to control it. Can anyone enlighten me or suggest how I can make it appear? My users are threatening to demand a separate web part for each view (there are hundreds). I may have trouble using SPD on the client's site.

That works if the Web Part was Closed, but does not help if the user deleted the Web Part.
After some digging around in SharePoint Designer and in SharePoint itself, I have a solution for restoring the View dropdown after the out-of-the-box List View Web Part has been deleted. This solution can be accomplished without SharePoint Designer if you are working with a library, but to clean out the views from a list, you will need SharePoint Designer. I am doing this in MOSS 2007 SP1, but it should work for WSS 3.0 as well.
For this example, I am using a document library called Public Documents and my View is allitems.aspx, but this should work for any list or library.
Here are the steps for bringing back the View dropdown:
1.       Navigate to the list or library that is missing the View dropdown
2.       Go to Site Actions > Edit Page > Add a Web Part . In the Lists and Libraries section, check the box next to the Public Documents library and click the Add button.
3.       Within the new Web Part, go to edit > Modify Shared Web Part and change the Toolbar Type to “Full Toolbar”. Click the OK button.
4.       Click the link to Exit Edit Mode and you should have the Full Toolbar for the list/library displayed, but it is still missing the View dropdown menu.
5.       Go to Settings > Create View .
6.       Choose Standard View .
7.       Name the view, check the “Make this the default view” box, select the columns to include, and click the OK button.
8.       Voila, the View dropdown menu is back on the site.
9.       To completely clean it up, for a list, open in SharePoint Designer and delete the allitems.aspx view from the Forms folder. For a library, you can go to the Actions menu and select Open with Windows Explorer . Open the Forms folder (you may need to show hidden files to see this folder) and delete the allitems.aspx view. If you do not have access to SharePoint Designer and you are working in a list, you will need to delete the link on the Quick Launch and add again to point to your new view name.
10.   If the View you deleted was the default for the list or library, it may remove the link from the Quick Launch. It can be added again by going to View All Site Content , selecting the appropriate list or library, going into its Settings menu, and modifying the Title, description and navigation settings to show on the Quick Launch.

Sort order when using "Album by Artist/Year" album list view

In iTunes 10, I seem to have lost the sorting I've been using for the past 5 years at least. I use the "Album List" view, and have the album artwork showing to the left of the songs. I see the new "Album by Artist/Year" sort option in the album artwork column, and that is how I would like it to sort. However, now the album are arranged by artist, and within the artist by the year they were released as tagged in the info for each song. I want the newest albums at the top, and I cannot figure out how to make it sort that way. What do I need to do? Basically I want it in descending order by release date, but still sorted by album.

It appears they are, although I refuse to believe this is the accepted behaviour - has no one else complained about this?
It could simply be a weakness is the way this was all designed. If you look at the information Gracenote uses, it's not unusual for all tracks on a 60's compilation album to be incorrectly listed as the same year, often the year the compilation was released. The same thing tends to happen with re-issued albums. That's down to whoever inputs the information into Gracenote for that album, often a bored record company employee.
First of all, you could try changing the year for each documentary to the year the album was produced and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then you have to decide how to handle it.
Accept it as it is.
Change the year for the documentary to the same year as the album and simply kid yourself that it's the correct year. (I'm not being flippant, but if the documentary is all footage from album release year, then "technically", the doumentary is from that 60's year.)
Leave the year of the documentary track blank, but put the year (2010) into the track's "Comments" field instead.
Propose a workable solution to Apple via Apple Feedback. (I am being a bit flippant now. Sorry, but you'll be in for a long wait before anything might change.)
Get Gracenote to change their text fields, get the people who input the information into Gracenote to do so correctly and then get Apple to change iTunes to recognise those changes. (Now I am being very flippant. Good luck with this one!) Oh! And hope Apple never decide to change from Gracenote to someone else!
Number 2 or 3 are probably your best bet.

Infopath to design WYSIWYG Custom List Views on 2013

We are migrating to SPO 2013. Playing with InfoPath 2013.
I know it's dieing, but InfoPath has always frustrated me. Some much potential yet so out of touch with what users seem to need IMO. Far from user friendly enough to let users maintain their own forms too IMO.
But really my biggest gripe with SharePoint in general is that it misses the mark with Custom lists and Views.
Why doesn't SharePoint and/or InfoPath address the need for more flexibility and Design options in the Custom List View. My users are constantly looking to build View pages that to reflect paper forms they use to have.  They always seem to
have to settle for the way the list view looks.  InfoPath does not seem to address Read Only Views of List Data ??
- No List Mode (View vs Edit)
- No Label control
- Field Names do not display unless you hover over the control.
- No WYSIWYG drag and drop designer - only grid cells.
- No easy or clear way to get URL Query string values
- No way to build complex expression fields, say I want to build a URL Link using some list field data and the ID from the URL query string on the form? Possible?
- Better/easier way to join and bind in multiple Lists and multiple data sources?
One other challenge we have is that SSRS can't be integrated into SPO and is being dropped from Azure. The SSRS designer is leaps and bounds better than InfoPaths IMO.
Considering SPO 2013, might there be another product or IDE coming in (maybe FoSL) that will address all of these? How about Visio, Excel, PDF
Thank You.

Thank You for your response.
A little of both :)   ... But am very interested in hearing about practical development options. But the catch is that we are waiting to see if something shows up that will enable users to build these views without development.
I have been seeing new Apps show up on the o365 store that look promising, but none of them are quite there yet IMO ... like Ninetex forms, Lightning Data Viewer, BlackCompass Data Viewer, List Designer, OData query Builder. We've
actually demoed every single one of them.
We have also been playing with oData Connections from Excel and Visio web Access Web parts. We can't get Data connections to refresh from Excel apparently unless we buy Power BI and we are still trying to figure out Visio on SPO.
I know we can create a SharePoint 2013 App that binds in SPO List data and use .NET controls to arrange them on a page. But that would put a developer and a deployment process in front of that View. We can also use SSRS and create a one row report
- but SPO does not support integrated SSRS and we would have to authenticate  on-Prem SSRS against ADFS which we have not yet configured here.
