[Bug?] iTunes 10.4 and type an 'umlaut' in artist/album etc.
If i try to edit an artist in the artist field and type a german 'umlaut' like äöü in the input field the autotext in this field will stop working and the autotext is inserted. So I can't edit/assign a artist/album etc. name with a german umlaut without using the clipboard. Please fix this.
You are correct and I wish that I had known this before spending 4 days and a lot of trouble going over this with both Apple Care and iTunes support. They had me jumping through hoops and didn't know anything until it was finally escalated. Only then did I get a vague response like I mentioned in the first post. It's troubling to me how a simple response from anyone there could've just said we know about this and they are bugs in 10.4 causing this.
There are other issues too as you point out with the syncing and crashing. Anyway, hopefully others will find information here more useful than calling Apple for help. Not much we can do now except roll back to 10.3 for those that kept it and hope also they can updated Apple Application Support component.

HELP! Letters 'F' and 'G' are jumbled together in Artists, Albums, etc!
Hi,
For some reason, anything on my iPod beginning with an 'F' or a 'G' is mixed together. Instead of having all of the 'F's in alphabetical order, I have to weed through a bunch of 'G's as well. Here's an example straight from my songs list on my iPod:
Face to Face
Gage Park
Faint
Getaway
Fetisha
Getting Better
Ghosts
Fiddler's Green
Fingers In The Factories
Gimme Gimme Gimme
Find Me An Angel
Fireworks
Girl
etc.
It continues all the way through until the list reaches the letter 'H'.
It only happens with 'F' and 'G' and the problem only appears on my iPod - NOT on my computer when I open iTunes!
Any idea on how to fix this? It's getting to be really annoying.
Thank you!Its possible to make your Artist tag and Sorting tags different.
Theres a feature that allows for custom sorting, like last names first, etc. Example: say I take artist John Doe. iTunes has a feature where he can be sorted as Doe John, but still be listed as John Doe, thus he would appear in the D section but be listed as John Doe.
While I do not believe this is your problem, it should be able to fix it
To try this, open iTunes. Right click on one of these problem artists, and select "Get Info".
From here, go to the Info tab, and ensure all the information is correct. Then, go to the sorting tab and type in their name as you want it to be sorted on the iPod (For example: if you want Face to Face to appear just as that then type in Face to Face).
Do this for all of the problem artists, and load up the iPod. If it still isn't sorted properly, I would restore your iPod.
Hope this helps. -
Organize iTunes file list by Directory Structure instead of artist/album?
Hello, I have searched for different audio players for os x which might have this feature but so far have had no luck. What I'm looking for is a feature similar to that of foobar2000 for win32 where I can organize my music by directory structure without the iTunes automatic organization by artist/album. Is there a way I can accomplish this in iTunes with some sort of xml config or hidden options? Thanks.
You don't have to have iTunes move music around on your hard drive (Preferences>Advanced>General, uncheck Keep iTunes Music folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library) but I suspect that's not what you're asking. You can't automatically view music from within iTunes by directory structure. iTunes organizes by ID3 tags ("mp3 tags"). You could, I suppose, spend a lot of time replicating your directory structure by using folders and playlists within iTunes but you'd probably have to do it all by hand.
You could check out Doug's Scripts to see if there are some scripts that might help.

Screen Goes Black and Hangs when browsing by Artist, Album, Song, etc.
I'm having a fairly huge issue with Front Row:
I can play video files (although their is a moment of hangtime between selecting a video and the video actually playing) and music files (if I choose the "Shuffle Songs" option), however, when I choose to browse my music by artists, albums, songs, genres, etc. my screen goes black and stays that way until I hit CMD+Q over and over until it finally quits. Furthermore, when I do play music via "Shuffle Songs" and quit out of Front Row, the music continues to play in the background and cannot be stopped, paused, etc.
Is there anyone out there who can help me fix this? I love Front Row and use it all the time and it would be a shame not to be able to anymore..
Thanks in advance,
CoreyI have a similar problem. When browsing music the screen goes to black or just freezes on whatever was beeing displayed for maybe 30 seconds to a minute before continuing. It happens quite often. I am running the latest version of Front Row on a brand new Mac Mini. I have a very large iTunes music folder (about 830 gigabytes of uncompressed AIFF files) running on an external FW800 drive. I tried repairing permissions and a number of Front Row and a few iTunes files appear in the list. However, when I run repair permissions again, the same files are still listed so obviously if they need to be repaired, it's not happening. I tried repairing the volume (no problems found) and repairing permissions from the Install disc but the result was identical.

ITunes 8: How to remove the little grey arrows next to artist, album etc.?
Hello
Since upgrading to iTunes 8, I can no longer find the setting to remove the arrows next to the song name, artist, album and genre. I don't like them in my library as it takes up space and creates clutter while I'm browsing though.
If you don't know what I mean, then see this: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596100360/figs/d1e733-web.jpeg labelled as "Little gray arrows"
Hope you can help.
ThanksIt's all over this place, but:
Close iTunes, open Terminal. Put in this command:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -bool FALSE -
I have an iPod nano. Somehow an update for SyncUp appeared and I updated it. Now all the music from my iTunes account including songs I purchased and my own personal albums are all on SyncUp. I definitely did not want that to happen. How do I get my music back to my iTunes account? Thank you.
iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

I have done a search and it comes up empty with this album. I really do not wish to miss out on this deal.
Have you tried the redeem option?
Simply click the Redeem link that can be found on the right hand side of theiTunes Store home page in iTunes on your computer, tap the redeem button at the bottom of the featured tab.
Once you’re on the Redeem page, paste the promo code into the field provided and click Redeem. -
Can I re-configure my iTunes artist/album settings en-mass?
All my music in iTunes has "Album Artist" as my main category to display the info' all my albums. This way, all my albums display in iTunes with the artist name above and the album title below. Now that I have an ATV1 connected to my TV, there is no "Album Artist" option to play my music, only "Artist" & "Album" etc.
Unless I can somehow get an "Album Artist" option in my ATV (which I doubt) my only other option I can see is for me to swap the information for all of my iTunes tracks/albums between Album/Album Artist/Artist. This would take many, many hours!
Simple question therefore:-
Is there a method to swap around all this information for all my tracks without going through each one in turn?
For example, move the info' from "Album Artist" to "Album"?
Thanks in advance.Hmm, if I understand correctly then for say Animals by Pink Floyd you have entered Animals as the Album Artist and Pink Floyd as the Album title, and you now want to switch back to the conventional use of these fields? Or have you just left the Artist field blank?
Either way I could write a script for that. You'll find some of my existing ones here.
I don't have an Apple TV so I'm not sure exactly how it behaves, but Artist & Album Artist can have somewhat different behaviours in iTunes and various Apple devices, so you may need to do more work to get everything displayed neatly on all your devices. More on that in my article Grouping tracks into albums.

(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.

In iTunes 10, I could type "Sinatra" in the search file, and would get a list of all tracks with "Sinatra" in any field. In iTunes 11 I get these clever little windows, with nice arrows, but no lists to view. What am I missing?
Thanks for chipping in. I discovered something after trying what you suggested. I have quite a few collections of hits by year from Time Life and Billboard. I've eliminated duplicate tracks that appear in both collections (or other CDs for that matter), but cross-reference the CD where I deleted the track and placed in in the comments section of the CD track I retained. If I "search" by song name, only the remaining track appears. But if I want to hear for example Classic Rock 1964, only those tracks remaining would be there when I pull up that CD. So, I type "Classic Rock 1964," in the search field. First the boxes on the right of the screen open up showing album icons. Showing four tracks by album with a button to view 10 more, then four songs with an option to vies 18 more. I finally noticed that at the top of the boxes is a blue band that reads, :Show Classic Rock 1964 in Music. When I double click on this blue band, all 24 tracks from the original CD appear in the song list format even though I had deleted two of them because they appeard in a Beach Boys CD. On those tracks, I had referenced Classic Rock 1964 in the comments field. So, bottom line, Search will also look in the comments field if you click "filter by all" in the magnifying glass to the left of the search field. And you can move all tracks that if finds into a song list by double clicking on the blue band.

Tried to install itunes 10/5 and got this error:
An error occured during the installation of assembly 'Micrsoft .VC80.CRT .type="win32" ,version="8.0.50727.6195".publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b".processorArchitectu re="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80073712
Can anyone help solve this problemExactly the same problems as many others with iTunes 10.5 and my Windows 7 32 bit laptop: An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT .type="win32", … HRESULT:0x800736FD. I followed the Apple instructions to completely uninstall earlier iTunes and all Apple applications and then tried to re-install iTunes 10.5. Numerous attempts. Still no success. Constantly goes through the install and then rolls back after failure.
By unzipping using WinRAR and installing each module separately it seems that the module that fails is the AppleApplicationSupport.msi
Finally I uninstalled everything again and reinstalled iTunes 10.4.1. This installed perfectly. So at least I still have iTunes.
I was able to install iTunes 10.5 on myWindows XP SP3 desktop.
I noticed with WinRAR that the AppleApplicationSupport.msi file with 10.5 is a completely different size to that with 10.4.1. This suggests to me a conflict between the latest AppleApplicationSupport.msi and Windows 7. -

ITunes 10.4 and Windows 7 bug thread
I thought I would start an entire thread devoted to iTunes 10.4 and Windows 7 bugs since there are MANY people reporting various issues and may not know about all of them. Hopefully this will combine a list of all bugs for reference and help others. So far, most of this effects Windows 7 64 bit, but some are reporting issues under 32 bit too.
I have spoken with both Apple Care and a higher level tech at iTunes support. The iTunes support tech said they were "looking into all reported bugs and are aware of issues with version 10.4, especially under Windows 7. They encourage others to report their bugs to iTunes support so they can work on this and find all the issues.
KNOWN BUGS:
Album Art copy/paste broken - A bug that causes copy/pase from clipboard where album art is not displayed in the info tab as before. Some have reported success by dragging the image file over to it vs copy/paste method but it is still very much spotty and a known bug.
iTunes store not working - Some have been effected with the iTunes store not working properly for them. Personally I don't have a problem but this has been for some.
"Purchases" link not working in iTunes - When you click on "Purchases" link on the right column, all your purchases are missing and do not show up. This includes, music, movies, apps, etc. This is also a known bug and one that I have personally. Works fine in iTunes 10.3 for Windows 7 64bit and also works fine under both Snow Leopard and Lion OS.
Sync issues - Some have reported syncing issues since upgrading to 10.4 iTunes on Windows 7. This is a bit spotty as well as I have no trouble but there are others that have reported issues.
Solutions:
For now, the only way to fix this is to use iTunes 10.4 under Snow Leopard or Lion OS. Also, you can uninstall (not repair) 10.4 and install 10.3 again which should work.You are correct and I wish that I had known this before spending 4 days and a lot of trouble going over this with both Apple Care and iTunes support. They had me jumping through hoops and didn't know anything until it was finally escalated. Only then did I get a vague response like I mentioned in the first post.

I'm using COM to access itunes.
Currently I'm on 8.1 and type library 1.12
I downloaded the newest documentation (sep 2009), but the helpfile refers to 1.12 and version 8.1.0.52.
Is the a version 1.13 of the type library?If you have under 250k tracks then the only viable cloud-based soultion I am aware of is Amazon's Cloud Player which costs $25 a year.
https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/manage/
This will not solve your iTunes Match problem but it will mean you have a backup service that costs an equvialent amount. You can stream that music to your iOS and OSX devices too with Cloud Player applications.
