Can you automatically "Show Current Song"?

I know that you can select the song that is playing by choosing File>Show Current Song...
but is there a way to do this automatically? So that the current song is automatically selected thereby showing the artwork of the current song?

At the top of the Artwork box, click the arrow and it will change between Selected Track and Now Playing.

How do you turn off show current song?

hi does anyone here know how to turn off "show current song" in the Edit menu?
its driving me crazy!!
thanks

drat ... i should have checked over there anyway.
hmmmm. i've played with that a bit (now that i've found it), and i'm not sure precisely how to do that, or if it's possible. (other people feel free to leap in at this point.)
if you're doing a serious information-editing run while you're playing music in the background, you could try this workaround. create a temporary ordinary playlist, and drag in to that the songs that you want to edit info on. do the editing in that playlist. a song change going on in a different playlist (or the main library) won't adjust your view in the playlist that you're working in.
once you've finished the editing, you could just delete the playlist (or empty the contents of the playlist).

Shortcut Remapping: Show Current Song

I've been able to navigate to the currently paying song just fine. But one of my FAVORITE shortcuts in iTunes is Cmd-L, Show Current Song. It shows me the song that is playing, in whatever venue it is playing it in, be it playlist or album or whatever. As the current Mac shortcut for Focus on the search bar has 2 Keymappings, would it be possible to remap Cmd-L to Show Current Song?

How can you automate the monthly opening of MM periods

How can you automate the monthly opening of MM periods ????????????

RMMMPERI accepts a period/year or a date.
If you enter a date the period is derived by it.
1. create a variant and check the attribute 'selection variable' for the parameter date. Then click the button 'Selection variables' and set the current date. Every time this variant is used the parameter DATE is filled with the current date.
2. create a job for RMMMPERI with the variant created in the preceding step. Set it as periodic.
If you're not using a fiscal year variant simply schedule it as monthly (to be executed the first day of the month).
If you are using a fiscal year variant you'd have to define a calendar with only the first day of each period defined as working
day and use it in the periodicity restrictions.
Another possibility:
Write a very simple ABAP which run daily to check if the period has changed and submit RMMMPERI.

Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields. If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

Can You Make A Good Song Without a Mic?

im a 14 year old rapper who's career is based on garageBAND.
well i was wondering, can you make a good song without a mic..
i think i have done pretty good without one.
www.myspace.com/thereallilsilk
but also you can tell the difference.
but if i do get a mic (eventually)
do you recommend me getting a USB mic, because i heard all you have to do is plug it in, set it up and your on your way...

You say it yourself: A mic would greatly improve your sound. USB is a way to go, as you say, you just plug it in and don't have to go for a pre-amp or audio interface. Don't get one of the very cheap ones that might be okay for spoken conversations. The Samson C01U is a good condenser mic that you should get for around $ 80.

Can you automatically start programs when you switch on your imac

can you automatically start programs when you switch on your imac

Yes, go to: Apple / System Preferences / User Groups / Login Items and add the Application to the list of things automatically set to start at login.
However, you should limit it to those that you need or use, because adding a lot will needlessly slow down your startup time and use more RAM.

Can you automatically delete anchor points when a new image is placed on top - so that it 'replaces'

Hi all,
I know that I can delete anchor points but I was wondering if there is a shortcut to do it on a larger scale.
Can you automatically delete anchor points when a new image is placed on top - so that it 'replaces' the image, only on the parts obviously that you cover with the new one.
Thank you all

Hi,
I'm using CS6, and I have a tree vector image, and I am trying to put names on top, but when I do this to keep it clean with no anchor points (as my other software cant read it with all the points in it) I have to manually delete each one but it deletes the whole path and I then end up with a tree, names on top, and a big gappy circle around the names.
So really, I wanted to add the names on top, and have that delete all anchors underneath .
Does this make sense? :S

Okay, let's say you bought an album and there are a few songs on there where you only have half the song(the song just stops after a number of minutes/seconds). What do you do, and can you re-download these songs?

How to report an issue with Your iTunes Store purchase

ITunes screen automatically scrolls to show current song - how to disable?

Whenever a song starts playing in iTunes the screen instantly scrolls to show the song details. This is very annoying when browsing the library while listening to music as you have to scroll back to the spot you were at each time a new song starts.
Is there a way to disable this pointless 'feature'?

Here is an update. Actually what is happening, is the view of the album (in the top with the pictures of the albums) switches to what is playing after a few seconds of inactivity, and the list of songs below that stays where I left off. But when the song is over, the list also switches to the new song that is playing. How do you keep this from happening?

In album view automatically display current song

itunes 11.0.5.5
in album view as songs are shuffled, is there a way you can configure so that as the next song is played, the album view is updated to display the current song being played?
right now, it does not update at it moves to play the next in the shuffle queue.

Thanks for you help turingtest2.
I have searced for that file and I get it twice in the same folder. one of the files has a date stamp appended to it 2013-01-25 (todays date).
I copied both files to another folder and moved the album artwork folder to the same folder.
I then restarted itunes. I did not have to request any artwork and the original artwork was still there (incorrectly). It did not seem like anything was downloaded as itunes opened quick and when i selected album view it went to there without delay automatically with the artwork there.
The album artwork folder was recreated in the itunes folder.
I did a search for the *.itc files and it seems the old moved album artwork folder contained may more *.itc files than were recreated in "recreated" album artwork folder. Not sure if that means anything.
Hmmm.

How Can You Tell if a Song You WANT to Purchase can be a Ringtone?

Sorry, I would have posted this in the iTunes folder, but it's not allowing me to post there for some reason.
Anyways, does anyone know how you can tell if a song you WANT to purchase is available as a ringtone? I know that if you already have purchased songs then your library will have a ringtone column which let's you know if the song is available as a ringtone. What I specifically want to know is if there is any way to find out if a song you WANT to purchase is availble as ringtone BEFORE you purchase it. I have all appropriate ringtone boxes checked off in preferences and "view preferences." However, when I go to the iTunes store, none of the songs in the store have any information on whether or not they are available as ringtones. I don't want to buy a song, especially if I'm just getting it for ringtone purposes, and then find out that it's not available as a ringtone.
And yes, I have the latest version of iTunes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. With the purchase of my iPhone I am a first time user of iTunes (I used to use only Rhapsody and Napster). So far iTunes has been a challenge to use. I'm trying to get used to it, but it's difficult. And it seems like basic information, such as if a song is available as a ringtone before purchase, is not easily forthcoming.
Anyways, thanks to all if you have any suggestions.

Okay, I don't know why, but the bell was not showing on the iTunes store. I re-checked "ringtones" on the view preferences and reloaded iTunes and now the bell column is there. Thanks to the both of you.
BTW, there aren't very many songs available for rintones are there? I really miss Cingular's media.net. There's no reason why we shouldn't be able to access that. Media.net has way more options for ringtones then iTunes.

How do you clear the current song info from the top display window?

When you first start iTunes and select Music, the display window at the top just has an Apple logo in it. Once you start playing a song, the song info shows up there. I can stop the song using Command-period (or the space bar), but the info stays there. Is there a keyboard shortcut or something simple to return the window to just the Apple logo? I cleared it inadvertently when I selected Radio, but I don't know if that will always work and I'm guessing there's a formal way to do it. (Selecting Radio while a tune is playing won't clear the info, of course.)

How many times can you burn a protected song?

How many times can you burn a purchased iTMS song onto an audio cd?
I know they say you can only burn a playlist so many times but does that also include the purchased songs? (I hope not)
Does anybody know the official iTMS ruling on this?
-J

I believe I read that you are allowed to burn it seven times, but I burn mixes all the time and have never run into a message that I've reached my limit. Honestly, though, if you are—at some point—unable to burn anymore, you can reimport a purchased song from one of the burned CDs.
Hope this helps!
