Any advantages in itunes 7.0+
I am still using iTunes 6.0 as there were so many problems with iTunes 7.0 when it was first introduced. Are there any benefits/cons in upgrading to iTunes 7.0?
I have just googled 'benefits of itunes 7.0' strangely enough my question here also appeared as the second item of 1.8m google's results.
I was thinking of what can and can't be done as before, any enhancements that would make it worthwhile to update to 7.0 (I'm not interested in ipod,iphone or movies/videos updates).
Cnet have a good review which means I don't need to update to itunes 7.0 yet.
If you have come across any cool new feature that enhances your enjoyment I would like to hear about it.
An enhancement I would like is to be able to add artwork and to be able to select which artwork I would like to show in the viewer for example the back cover of a particular compilation. I would also like to add this artwork in bulk as adding an additional piece of artwork manually to each track of a 3cd set takes a long time.
I would also like a better search facility, being able to use the ".." so you get the exact phrase you are looking for. Perhaps also the - (minus) feature so it will de-select any of the searched criteria much like ebay have.
Also a longer period of crossfade
I'm also looking forward to the technology that when you record an audio CD for the car etc, the track's tags will be displayed instead of just getting "track 1,track 2 etc.

My Mac is showing that I am out of disk space. It says I have 175 MB of videos. I cannot find any videos in Itunes, Imovie or IPicture. What gives?
For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal. -
Are there any advantages to using an iPhone with a Mac, as opposed to using it with a PC? Does the iPhone work better/faster with a Mac, or is there no difference?
I'm no Windows fan, but let's not make this look worse than it is.
* For e-mail, you need to buy Outlook, 'cos the iPhone doesn't work with Windows XP Outlook Express or Windows Vista Windows Mail, right?
It's supposed to work with Outlook Express. (Free)
* For the Address Book, you need to buy Outlook (again) 'cos the iPhone doesn't work with Windows XP Address Book or Windows Vista Windows Contact, right?
Doesn't work with Address Book, but not needed. (See above.)
* For photos, you need to buy Photoshop Elements. I guess the new Windows Photo Gallery in Vista doesn't work with the iPhone?
"iPhone uses iTunes to sync your photos from...any picture folder on a PC."
A final question, how do you get photos taken with your iPhone onto your PC? I imagine there isn't a clever automatic way of syncing them from the iPhone to your PC. Is there the facility to manually drag the files off the iPhone and onto your desktop?
See above. I believe Windows also see it as a USB camera, so it should automatically open it as a folder so you can drag the files to the folder of your choice. Since in IS a camera in Windows, I would guess other photo processing software in Windows would work too, just like any other camera.
But you really do WANT a Mac. -
Does the Apple USB Superdrive have any advantages over other more inexpensive external CD/DVD drives?
Not that I know of.
My desktop LG GE24LU20 takes up more space and is not as nice looking, but....
it was cheaper than the portable Superdrive
it is faster and more reliable than a portable Superdrive
it never skips the last track when I import CDs into iTunes like a Superdrive
it never spits out a DVD or CD because of a read error like a lot of Superdrives do
it never lets me down, when I need to boot older iMac's from their OS X Install disc's
it never lets me down, when I needed to install software that is on a third party disc's
it never lets me down watching DVDs, it is smoother and quieter than any Superdrive -

I updated my iphone 4s on my computer - I lost a lot of pictures - it gave me messages that I had sent back in June and now it wont allow me to play any of my itunes on my phone - any got any solutions to what I should do? HELP
I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again. -
I have not had any issue with Itunes on my PC until very recently. Every now and then my Itunes library appears on my screen? I have not clicked the itunes icon beforehand nor plugged in my Ipod Touch? Why does this happen please as it is driving me crazy!.
What's the precise text of the message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

My Apple TV 1st gen will now no longer play any of our iTunes music, although it shows a speaker symbol when you select play on the track. Please help?
Are you streaming or syncing you music? Sounds like you're streaming music directly from iTunes.
There can be many different issues. First, try power-cycling you wireless router (leave router disconnected for about 1 or 2 minutes) to refresh the wireless communication betweek both devices.
Make sure all software updates have been installed, for Apple TV and iTunes. -
Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls. iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files. Prior to updating I had a perfectly good iTunes which would allow me to stories for including on a iPod.
Can anyone please advise me.From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
Take the following steps:
1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
Hope this helps! -

This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -

Any advantage in working in ProRes 422 start to finish
Since it's possible to capture ProRes 422 via firewire now is there any advantage to working with it from start to finish? The workflow now has been capture and work in HDV and render to a ProRes Timeline when finished.
I'd Like to hear some opinions on this subject. I know ProRess captured files are much larger than HDV captures so that's a consideration.
Also Does ProRes run any smoother in FCP2 than HDV?I'm sure there are others, but two things come to mind right away:
Since ProRes422 is 10-bit, it makes working in Color much more liberating.
As best I can tell, rendering in in FCP is much quicker (even at the highest quality settings) with ProRes422 on a Mac Pro since it's a much more multi-thread friendly codec than HDV.
