Check marks to skip song playback all checked.

The check box in front of the song title is used to skip some songs in playback. Somehow all the little boxes in front of the song titles got checked. Is there a way to uncheck them in a group or do I have to go through all 4000+ songs and uncheck them.
Would appreciate any suggestions.

Running iTunes on my Mac, I have always selected a group of songs (or movies, or podcasts, or ...) then I would use the Ctrl+click (or right button click if you have a 2 button mouse). In the fly-out menu, I just hit the "check" or "uncheck" option to set or clear the checkbox for all the items I have selected.

On Itunes for Windows 7, when I click the check mark box, the song is quickly deleted and sent to the recycle box. How do I go back to when I click on the check mark box, the checkmark is either turned on or off?

Thanks for replying, but I tried that earlier and had that did not work. After your reply I did it again, shutdown itunes and rebooted system. I thought since it didn't do that earlier that might work but same results it deleted file from Itunes but no second questions to move to recycle bin.

Check marks next to song title

i am new to itunes, what are the check marks in the gray boxes next to the song titles for, what happens if i uncheck all the songs?

The check boxes have a few uses:
Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs in the library, i.e. they will never play in order, only when individually clicked on.
Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
Optionally, unchecked songs will not be synced to an iPod.
Optionally, unchecked songs will not be added to a Smart Playlist.

Check marks next to songs

Hi, I searched for an answer, but was not able to find anything. I can do many things with itunes, but one thing I can not figure out is how to stop check marks from being applied to next to songs. I do not want a check mark placed next to a song unless I physically check it myself.
Can anyone tell me how to stop the automatic checking of selections in order for me to do it completely by myself, manually?
I appreciate any help..thanks.

Say you were playing all of your songs on iTunes, and you didn't want to listen to one. When you uncheck it, it skips over that song and immediately plays the next "checked" song.
Make sense?

Check mark next to song title

I downloaded Itunes 7.3 now I can only play 1 song at a time without checking each song, I did not have to do this before. I have 7500 songs in my library and it will take days to check mark each one. Is there a better way to make my library play without checking each song title?

if u have windows then press ctrl+s at the same time and that selects them all then click 1 or in file or sumtin it has a select all

Check marks not showing in "options" spell check not working at all.

I am using the latest but not greatest version which is 13. The spell check feature is not working at all. It works in FF 3.6.28 when I remove this great upgrade but of course I always get the standard ,"your version of Firefox is outdated"
The check marks in the option tabs do not show at all. I have to guess if I have something checked or not.
I have I think the dictionary installed. I went to the add on page for American English and added it. It said it did but when I look at my add on list it does not show.
I like Firfox I really do, but I may have to completely delete it and relunctantly use Chrome, because spell check works in it.
It works in Safari, it works in IE, It works everwhere except FF13.

* You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
* Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
* Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
* Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:

In options, checking a new tab instead of the default a new window. After shutdown & restart FireFox returns to the w/no check mark. Can I save the check mark?

After a computer restart, Firefox always defaults in Options, Tabs, 'Open new windows on a new Tab' unchecked. After checking the box Firefox will then open new windows in a tab instead of a new window, However after a shutdown of the computer the check mark is gone and must be rechecked. Is there a way for Firefox to remember the check mark when the program is restarted?

hello gearjam, first of all it appears, that you're using an outdated version of firefox with various known security vulnerabilities - please [[Update Firefox to the latest version]] as soon as possible to stay safe while you browse the web.
regarding the problem you're observing, please make sure that no extension in firefox > addons > extension with the functionality to change tab settings is interfering here - or if this is not the case, go through the steps described in [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].

How do I put a check mark to all the songs in the library/

somehow this morning after deleting voice memos from the iTunes library i noticed that all my songs became de-checked. Which means they won't play until i put a check mark in the check mark column. How do I check them all ?

Thanks so much Meg I have almost 19,000 songs in my library and i'd be lost without being able to hear them.

Why is iTunes Radio continuously skipping songs, I've tried all the suggestions I can find

iTunes Radio just continuously skips songs on all of my devices - Apple TV, iPad mini and iPad 2 and iPhone 6. I've tried all the suggestions I've been able to find so far:
Recycling the power to my modem/router
signing in and out of iTunes and icloud
deleting both accounts and reading back
deleting my wifi home network and adding back
Any additional suggestions I can try? I really like this feature? I would hate to have to create a new Apple ID or something, I don't even know how my stuff would transfer from one ID to another. Please help!
Thank you in advance!!!!

OK - this fixed my problem of skipping 30-40 songs and playing the same ones over and over.
I moved and changed the address on a credit card associated to my Itunes account. The credit card was still active, however the billing address was incorrect in my iTunes account. Make sure your Itunes account billing and payment information is correct as the slightest error will cause everything to seem like it is working correctly, except iTunes Radio.
My Fix:
In Itunes - enter Account - edit user information - edit payment method (update all information)
fixed problem on both of my two Apple TV devices

ITunes match and iTunes radio skips songs on wifi

iTunes match and iTunes radio have been skipping songs while on wifi. We have a Linksys EA6350 setup in WPA2 personal for both the 2.5 ghz and 5 ghz networks. Both are setup as mixed 802.11n/ac with both on a channel width of AUTO. We are using two Apple TV's, iPhone 5s and a iPad 2. One of the apple TV's is setup as a different iTunes account than the others. It skips songs on all devices and accounts, however when I turn the wifi off on my iPhone both iTunes match and iTunes radio work flawlessly. What should I do?

+1 same issue here.
Not sure exactly when it started, but seems like it was sometime on or after 3/7.
It appears to affect every device I have on the home network (iMac, MacBook Pro, Macbook Air, iPhone, iPad). Most devices are wifi, but I can confirm the issue also occurs on my iMac which is connected via ethernet. I'm able to get both iTunes match streaming and iTunes Radio streaming to the iPhone and iPad if I disable wifi and use LTE.
On my iOS devices, it just looks like it's skipping songs repeatedly...every now and then it might play one song, but it skips 30-50 before that happens. A few times it just kept skipping until the device rebooted itself. On my OS X devices, I don't get any of the skipping, it just looks like it's trying to load the radio station (i get the blue progress bar at 100% but nothing ever happens).
For what it's worth, I'm using an Apple Time Capsule for as my DHCP for ethernet and wifi. My internet provider is Cox Communications.

HT1711 HOW TO I UNCHECK (ALL AT ONCE) THE CHECK MARKS NEXT TO THE SONGS

HOW DO I - WHAT IS THE COMMAND - TO UNCHECK ALL AT ONCE THE CHECK MARKS NEXT TO THE SONG LISTS.

Command-click one of the tickboxes and they should all be unticked (and similarly Command-click again to re-tick them all).

Can't sync all checked marked songs.

I just added my device to my wife's account. I checked marked all the songs I wanted to sync to the new device. itunes only let me sync maybe 40 out of the 90 songs I check marked. When the synching is complete is says "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized to play them on this computer." All the songs were purchased through itunes. Is there any way around this?

Hey there,
Have you authorized your computer? If not, head to "Store" and then click "Authorize." If it already is, try simply de-authorizing it and then re-authorizing it to see if that helps.

My 4th gen ipod touch wont sync only check marked songs, how do i fix that?

I just got a 4th gen. ipod touch. it works fine everything is great on it but when i try to sync only check marked songs onto it from itunes it wont sync any songs at all. I thought i solved the problem when i clicked "autofill" in the music tab under "my devices" but all that did was randomly put songs on my ipod. i went to the settings and unchecked "choose items randomly" and tried again but it did the same thing. i know its not my computer cuz the same thing was happening with my old ipod. i have "sync only checked songs" marked but it just wont work. PLEASE HELP ME!!

Check marks all reset in iTunes 10

I have a lot more music in my library than would fit onto my iPod, and so have spent many, many hours checking and unchecking songs in my iTunes library so that only the checked songs synchronise with my iPod.
Yet now that I have upgraded to iTunes 10 this information has all been reset, and every song is now checked again.
It is so frustrating to have to do all of this again when it was set up perfectly before, why can't Apple just leave our settings alone?
Is there any way to get this information back or will I have to go through this whole process again? Or is there an easier way to choose which music gets synced to the iPod?
Thanks

I wonder why it unchecked things on your PC? It left mine all alone - I have Christmas music unchecked most of the year.
try this quick test. Go into your folder named *Previous iTunes Libraries*. Find the one that has the most recent dat from when you upgraded to itunes 10. It will be named something like
iTunes Library 2010-09-21.itl
Which would mean you upgrade to v10 on Sept 21, 2010.
Close itunes
Copy & paste that ITL file to your desktop.
Press AND HOLD the shift key while starting itunes again. Keep pressing until you see the prompt to choose a library. Choose the one you just copied to your desktop. Are the checkmarks there?
There are some other steps to do if this works, but first make sure that old library database has the check marks.
