[Bug] Unchecked songs not being played, skipped in all playlists

To me this is a bug. I used the check feature to determine what gets transferred to my iPod -- I have 120 gig iPod Classic and over 300 gig of music as can see not all of my music can fit on my iPod.
1) There needs to be an easy way to to determine what gets transferred to the iPod without affecting what iTunes plays... just because I have it unchecked doesn't mean that I don't like the track... if I don't like the track, I delete it. Multiple playlist isn't the answer, too cumbersome to maintain
2) iTunesDJ will play unchecked but will not automatically choose them... what good is that... there needs to be a simple way of doing this too.
Thanks,
George

*There needs to be an easy way to to determine what gets transferred to the iPod without affecting what iTunes plays.*
Another method you can use to auto-sync your iPod with iTunes is "Sync Music - Selected Playlists". Syncing selected playlists is just like syncing your whole library only on a smaller scale and more "selectively". This is particularly useful when your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, it also makes it much simpler to know exactly what you are syncing to the iPod and what you are not. When your iPod is is set to sync selected playlists it automatically picks up any changes you made to that playlist in iTunes since you last connected. Anything you added to the playlist will be added to the iPod, anything you deleted from it will be deleted from the iPod. In other words the iTunes playlist and the iPod are kept "in sync".
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). Drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod: Syncing Music to iPod
Using unchecking to manage an iPod is an option (and works fine when you are working with a small number of specialised tracks such as Christmas songs) but only if you can live with the other things unchecking does:
Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
Genius and iTunesDJ will not use the songs that are unchecked.

Songs not being played on my ipod

After my dad recently downloaded Queen's platinuim collection ablum from itunes, my sister and i decided that we also wanted to listen to it, after updating both ipods with the album, my sisters will play the songs & mine will not. anybody have any ideas on how to fix this???

You may try to apply the current iPod updater.

ITunes 11.0.1 - Song not bold and skips when album played.

iTunes 11.0.1 - Song not bold and skips when album played.
Song is in light grey font, not black. The song (let's call it track 3) will play when selected, but when playing the album, it skips from track 2 to track 4. Bought album on iTunes.

If you right mouse click on the greyed out song and select Check Selection from the bottom of the list all will be well. iTunes does not play unchecked songs

HT1391 I started download on my iphone and cancelled the same before it could complete. There is no option of removing the incomplete download and also it is affecting my songs in 'Music'. The next or previous song is being played instead of the song sele

I started a download of a video in the app "Free gift for 12 days". I cancelled the download before it was completed. It is now affecting the music in my phone library, as the next or previous song is being played instead of the selected song. Any suggested solutions?
I have an iPhone 5 wid the latest OS 7.0.4 installed.

Nobody knows? Not even administrators?
Please it would be really nice to have help on that to take all the benefit of the remote app.
Thank you very much in advance.

When I want to randomly play (shuffle) all my songs, it seems that the same songs are being played. I've got over 13,000 songs loaded - it seems to me that I shouldn't be getting any repeats.

I unrated all the songs, thinking this might affect how often a song gets picked to play. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Notes not being played in gb

while playing my keyboard (yamaha p85) 10% or more of the notes are not being played in gb or recorded...slow computer? user error? any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for the reply...I'm using midi from my keyboard to my laptop. I think i resolved the problem by using my imac desktop which is a much faster machine..and so far i haven't had any issues

I use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically. a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

QT files are not being played at the right height on laptop - why?

Hello eveyone,
The QT files imported in my MacBook pro are HQ but are being played 1280 x 405 (for the length of the screen, but not at the right height). I can't even play view them with the Actual file feature. The Movie Inspector tells me the clipes were shot normal (1920x1080) yet I can't se them properly.
I tried on a different MacBook pro and I have the same problem.
Does anybody know why? What should I do?
Thanks!

Actually, there is no problem with the original files.
Since I do not know how you came to this conclusion or if it is correct, my first thought is, "Show me the proof." I.e., post a captured image of the "Inspector" window for the player you are currently using. This will tell me which QT player you are using, whether the display is controlled by scaled dimension or aspect ratio settings, whether the file was encoded anamorphically or non-anamorphically, and whether the encoded aspect ratio matches the current display aspect ratio. It won't tell me the true aspect ratio of the video but a look at people and objects in a single video frame will normally disclose whether or not the display aspect is reasonably close or not.
If I import them in say Final Cut Pro, I can see them properly...so it's only the Quick Time on our laptops that display the clips wrong.
This isn't really helpful since FCP has settings that allow the user to both change and scale display dimensions and aspect ratios. QT 7 Pro will allow you re-scale the aspect ratio of a display but not alter its encoded aspect ratio while QT X will allow you to resize the display scale but only in reference to its encoded aspect ratio. Neither will allow you to display a file at dimensions greater than your current video card settings (i.e., where actual dimensions are greater than screen display resolutions for the encoded aspect ratio). In a similar manner, "fit" and "fill" option availability will also depend on the device/player and available screen resolutions/aspect ratiios which you have yet to indicate for either platform previously mentioned.
The full length of the screen, but not the full height... Do you have any advide on how to get the settings done? I looked into the QT settings and coulnd't find the right button/panel...
As previously stated, the first step is to determine if the files are being displayed correctly—i.e., at their correct aspect ratio for the allowable display space available for the current screen resolution available on the platforms being used for viewing. For instance, are you viewing in the full screen mode, or with menu bar being displayed and/or with the dock in or out of active display. These settings plus the video card screen resolulution will determine the maximum number of viewing pixels available fort the display height. Once the scale height is set by the QT player, then QT app will scale the display width to what it believes is correct display setting. If the aspect of the display is correct for the scaled height and width, then the file is being displayed correctly at the maximum display height available and there is nothing wrong and nothing to be corrected either in the file or the media player other than your desire to play a file at dimenensions larger than available for your display. (I.e., this is equivlent to saying you want to display a 52 inch diagonal picture on 32 inch HDTV—"it ain't gonna happen."
On the other hand, if the aspect ratio is incorrect for the maximum display height available for the app, system, and platform being used for viewing, then all of the other things I mentioned come into effect with regard to correcting the embedded display settings within the file.
Example: If i take an anamorphically encoded 1440x1080 (1920x1080) file and display it on my monitor set to a resolution of 2560x1440, then I can display the file at its "actual" display size (1920x1080) or even scale it to 2560x1440 (Full Screen Display mode) but if I reset my monitor to a 4:3 aspect resolution of 1600x1200, then I cannot play the file at its actual 1920x1080 display resolution since its width is limited to 1600 pixels and when the 16:9 aspect ratio is applied to the 1600 pixel display width, the display height is limited to 900 pixels in a "Fit to screen mode."
If your source file was recorded at 1920x1080, then the file's aspect ratio is 16:9 (1.78:1). However, your 1280x405 screen size implies that either the file is now being displayed in the "Fit" mode with a changed aspect ratio of 3.16:1 (1280x405) or that you are viewing the file in the "Fill" mode which chops off the top and bottom of your 1280x720 (1.78:1) display. (I.e., the "Fit" mode will scale the display at its current aspect to fit within the available display area and yet allow you see the entire display area as a "scaled view at the correct aspect while the "Fill" mode scales the video to fill your entire screen even if this means losing the top/bottom or left/right portions of the display area when the monitor resolution aspect ratio and video display ratio are not the same.)
Therefore, if your file is correctly formatted as you claim, use the "Command-F" QT shortcut to view the file at its largest available dimensions at the correct aspect ratio on any platform and using either the QT X or QT 7 player. (Don't forget to set the QT 7 "Full Screen" preference.)

BUG: Return listener not being called for manually launched dialog

Hello all,
I have found a bug in the dialog framework. To set the stage, I have a ADF Faces page with a command button on it. The partial submit property is set to "true" and the use window property is also set to "true." I also have the returnListener property set to a method in the backing bean. When I set the Action property of the command button to a global navigation rule that launches a dialog, the return listener is being called correctly when I dismiss the dialog.
However, when I launch the dialog from an action listener, the return listener is not being called. Here is my action listener code:
public void al (ActionEvent ae)
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ViewHandler vh = context.getApplication().getViewHandler();
    UIViewRoot dialog = vh.createView(context, "/infrastructure/ICConfirmDelete.jspx");
    HashMap properties = new HashMap();
    properties.put("width", new Integer(300));
    properties.put("height", new Integer(300));
    AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().launchDialog(dialog, null, ae.getComponent(), true, properties);
}and here is my return listener:
public void rl(ReturnEvent re)
    System.out.println("in return");
    System.out.println((String) re.getReturnValue());
}OK - here's an update. If the command button is in the Actions facet of the page, everything works as expected. However, if the button is in the selection facet of a table (inside of afTableSelectOne) - it does not work properly as documented here. It also works correctly if the button is in the actions facet of the table. I think that this is a bug and needs to work - my use case (as you might tell from my code) is to do a delete confirmation dialog. My short-term workaround is to use the Action instead of ActionListener property on the command button, but the issue I have is that the pop-up dialog is just a tad too small, and is showing scrollbars.
Regards,
John

Added additional information about tableSelectOne

Gabrielle,
Sorry for the confusion.
What does not work:
Initiating a dialog from the ActionListener attached to a command button (where the command button is inside an afSelectTableOne) will not fire the returnListener when the dialog is closed.
What does work:
Initiating a dialog by returning a dialog-based navigation rule (e.g. a string starting with "dialog:") from the Action attached to a command button (even if the command button is inside an afSelectTableOne) - the return listener is called when the dialog is closed
What also does work:
Initiating a dialog with either method (Action or ActionListener) when the command button is elsewhere on the Page (e.g. in the Actions facet)
Hope this clarifies the bug. I could send a test case if desired.
Kind regards,
John

Songs Not Completely Playing

Hello. I recently copied my itunes library to a new laptop (HP). I'm having problems with some of the songs not playing completely. these songs stop after 2:15 of playing and it goes onto the next song and the same thing happens. anyone heard of this? thx.

I've just updated itunes on Windows, thought they might have solved the problem.... They didn't.
Some songs keep cutting off at the 2.37 mark around there.....
Otherwise all songs are fully playable on VLC and windows media.
What is it? the coding or LAME??
I see this problem has been around for some time without any help from Apple/iTunes to fix and a simple fix at that.....
I shouldn't have to delve into the computer system to find this and alter that.. A simple fix is what needed here.

Emails not being recieved, tried removing all passwords, not being asked for one when I re-open thunderbird

stopped receiving emails 3 days ago to both accounts I have. On line at verizion I see the new emails but Thunderbird is not opening them. Any suggestions? Thanks

If you deleted all password in Thunderbrd and are not being asked for them that points straight at your anti virus program and it's "password vault" messing up. Try disabling email scanning in your internet security suite.

How to prevent songs from being played on iphone 5

I have an iPhone and I'll come across a song that I don't want to hear anymore. I'll delete it off my phone and then when I charge my phone it shows up again!!!
On the desktop iTunes I can "uncheck" a song and it won't be played in iTunes. How do I do the same for my iPhone since delete isn't working?

If you are charging your phone by connecting it to your PC then it is probably doing a sync at the same time (Automatic sync). This means your deleted songs (from the phone) are being reloaded by the sync. You need to uncheck them from your sync in Music within iTunes

Song won't play/ Skips

I've noticed recently on my iPod Classic that a song will be skipped over or won't play in my library. It will play on my iTunes itself or any where else. But not on my iPod. Has anyone had a similar problem? Or know how to fix this?

Start by working through all of the suggestions in this Apple support document.

Songs not fully playing in itunes or ipod....

Just wondering why some songs skip to the next even though the full song is in itunes? It's just random i'll be listening and then bam, goes to the next song.

nevermind lol.......guess what was happenin was that I loaded the songs on the shuffle after I changed the info on the certain songs to make ringtones with them, so it was only playing 30secs. I feel like such a dolt lmfao.
