Command L no longer brings you to song currently playing

I made the mistake of intalling ITunes 11.  Up until now, command L worked in any playlist to bring up the song currently playing.  A very handy tool if you have a lot of music.  Now with iTunes 11 it only works in the main Music list.  Command L does not work in the smart playlists anymore.  I need this feature back.

I could see the Controls menu flash every time I tried Command L in a smart playlist, so I am thinking it was recognizing the command, it just would not do it. I found another complaint like this that said that Command L does work in smart playlist only if you hide the sidebar on the left.  Which is stupid and I hope Apple fixes that and all the other problems with I-Tunes 11.  I have been an Apple user since the Apple IIe days.  I am getting fed up with Apple and am starting to wonder why I stay with them.

  • Why does the song currently playing not correspond with the title

    Since the latest update of iTunes when I play a CD or import it into iTunes, the song currently playing and the title shown for that song are not correct. All the songs and titles are there but they are jumbled. Any ideas? Thanks, i need all the help i can get.

    There is dirt our moisture in the dock connector on the phone or the end of the cable. Or possibly a bad cable.
    You can clean the connector with a dry toothbrush or wooden toothpick; inspect it with a magnifying glass to make sure it is clean.

  • Stop itunes from skipping back to song currently playing

    I have a messy library right now and need to work on it quite a bit! I was curious if there is some way to set itunes to stop skipping back to the song currently playing when I am working on renaming or organizing in a different part of my library?

    That bugs me too when I'm working on tags or artwork. So I decide on some songs or an album I want to hear, and drag them into a regular (blue icon) playlist I've named "Now playing".
    I start that "Now Playing" list to playing, and then go to back to the main library to do other stuff, or look in the itunes store or at podcasts, etc.

  • How do I add the option to see the artwork (in the lower left hand corner of the sidebar) of the song currently playing in my library, like I could in previous versions of itunes?

    Along with iTunes DJ & Cover Flow, that option has gone...

  • Jump to song currently playing

    is there a keyboard combination that will make itunes highlight the currently playing song? to clarify, if i scroll all the way down to the bottom of my playlist, is there a combo that will make the cursor jump to whatever song is playing? for those of you familiar with winamp, im looking for the equivalent of pressing the spacebar while in the playlist editor.

    never mind, i found it...me == stupid

  • How do you prevent songs from playing on iphone (iOS7)?

    My iphone keeps playing music that's not on it. I have albums with songs that I don't wish to hear and didn't download when I purchased them. Some have never been on my Mac. I also have Christmas music that I don't want to hear unless it's December. But my phone keeps shuffling these songs up. Or the interviews that come with some albums… it's relentless.
    When I tap on the listing button, it indicates which song on the album is playing and in the cases I have looked at, has the cloud download button beside it.
    What I'd like to know is how to keep these songs in their boxes until I want to hear them. Any ideas? For what it's worth, I don't understand how this bug/feature exists. I don't want to see this music, let alone listen to it (and be forced to stop what I'm doing to skip the track).
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Thanks. That worked. I already had the automatic download settings off but didn't know about the hide songs option. Everything looks better now.
    After doing so, most of the songs vanished but not all. I did a restore on the device and while trying to synch the songs back onto the phone, which took a while to get started (the usage bar in iTunes only showed 'apps' and 'other', lots of 'other', meanwhile, the Music app on the phone indicated that it was empty), I noticed a section in itunes under all the checklists that seemed to be related to manually added songs. It's gone now and I don't really want to try to get it back but it implied that if you manually dragged a song onto the device, the section would auto-generate and the song would show up there. Extra weirdness is that the song is one of those never downloaded songs that's greyed out when looking at the album.
    Anyway, thanks again.

  • App to automatically play song currently playing on iPhone through iTunes?

    Hey, is there an app out there that would allow me to walk into my house playing a song on my iPhone through the earbuds, and have that song stop on the iphone and continue to play from that spot through iTunes? I often come home listening to a song, and want some way to continue that song through my home speakers without having to open iTunes, start the song, and drag the playhead to the same spot I'm at...I think this is a viable app idea if it doesn't already exist. It should be part of the iPhone software. "Automatic Proximity Sensing Music Zone Switching"
    Thanks,
    Sam

    i have no heard or seen anything like this. what you can do is use the 'remote' app to start playing a song in iTunes, and it should be simple to set this up.
    if anything, this would probably be easiest to add to the 'remote' app, if they haven't already thought about it.

  • DMP 4400 Browser Command for refreshing Currently Playing URL

    Looking for a "SET" command that will allow me to refresh the "Currently Playing URL" without rebooting the DMP.
    I need a refresh BROWSER URL command so that Users do NOT have to repush unique individual Presentations when making a change to a shared / referenced Playlist, but rather have the ability to select a single System Task that would issue the refresh Browser URL command.  
    I'm aware of the following command, but this requires the specific URL to be known, which defeats the purpose of having a general URL refresh command:
    http://<dmp_ip>:7777/set_param?mng.command=start+video+<URL>
    Anybody know if other param / syntax options exist for accomplishing this task?

    Hi Mark,
    I went as far as disassembling the sysmng binary and I found a number of features I hadn't known about the existence of before, but nothing that I can clearly identify as causing a refresh.
    I've been trying to get my hands on a development reference or something because there are probably more than 100 functions and I only know what several dozen of them do. Then there are differences between the 4310/4400 presentation mechanisms. Sounds like I need to power on a 4400 and poke around at it.
    The approach we're using on the 4310 is to load a local page stored on the DMP in file://tmp/ftproot/usb_1 , and that happens to be a .swf flash template that listens to remote commands to refresh or reload or do whatever we want to it. We control it as an interactive function of the .swf itself rather than via sysmng commands.
    So for us, the second command below to reload always points to the same file://xxxxx path and we don't need to independently determine the playback URL.
    Another idea would be to point the playback URL to file://xxxxxx/file.html and have that frame or refresh external content. But then you would have to manage "file.html" on the DMP and execute the second refresh command below. You say that server side execution isn't going to work for you, but perhaps scp/sftp of a file containing the presentation URL would work for you instead?
    Or... say, using the sysmng function to execute a wget command, to stage file.html on the DMP's file system? Have never tried that but that goes to illustrate that there are a lot of different ways to accomplish something on the player.
    If I find a better answer about a built in function being a /better/ way to accomplish that (or if I stumble on something unique to the 4400) I will let you know.

  • ITunes will no longer play my music, all the albumss are there but it if I click on a song to play it I get a message saying " The song (name of song) could not be played because the original file coul not be found. Would you like to locate it."

    iTunes will no longer play my music, all the albumss are there but it if I click on a song to play it I get a message saying " The song (name of song) could not be played because the original file coul not be found. Would you like to locate it."

    You get this message because  iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
    Do any of these aply to you?

  • Searching for song, brings you to location in library

    I just upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2, and am most distraught over what I've found. When I search for a song and click play (while still in the "search" view, that is, only the songs that satisfy the search parameters are shown), and then x out of the search. A couple versions ago, closing the search would bring me right to the song highlighted or playing. More recently, closing the search brings me back to the top of my library, regardless of where the song being played is. I used to be able to hit the space bar twice to pause then play, and I would be brought to the song. Now even that does not work. Is there any way to restore this feature??? i can't even tell you how heavily i rely on this.

    Okay... Are they still working on this new iTunes...?
    Because now I have a new problem.
    In the library, only purchased songs are showing up. And other songs I have, like say the ones I have on my ipod now that I got from my cds, aren't showing up in the library at all.
    They're on my ipod... When you go under the ipod and go under 'On this ipod', they're all there...
    But they only show up there.
    I can't listen to em' on itunes. And I can't seem to get them over into my library...
    Is there anyway to fix this, without having to manually go through and add them all over again...
    I REALLY could use the help with this...

  • My computer will no longer bring up itunes. It says, "file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes". I have reinstalled itunes, and still no luck. HELP!!!

    I cannot bring up iTunes as it keeps saying, "the files 'itunes library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". I have reinstalled itunes, and still no luck. HELP!!!!

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • A large number of songs, my kids bought under an account that nobody knows the password to.  The account name I know, but the email address associated with it is no longer available.  How do I authorize the songs to play on this new computer.

    A large number of songs were bough under an itunes account that we no longer have the password for nor access to the old associated email address.  I know the account name but it no longer exists.  How do I now authorize these songs to play on this new computer.  I do know my current itunes account information.

    It's not a good idea to post your email address on public forums, I've asked the hosts to remove them.
    All content is tied to the account that downloaded them, and you can't currently transfer them to a different account. If you don't know the password to that account then you can try getting it reset via this page http://iforgot.apple.com . If you can't get it done that way then you can try getting access to the account by contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page. If you get access to it you can then change the primary email account on it to one that you have access to : http://appleid.apple.com

  • This computer is no longer authorized?  44 songs will be removed from ipod?

    this computer is no longer authorized?  44 songs will be removed from ipod? How do I get my songs? They are from an email address i had years ago.  When ipods were new. I don't remember that password!

    Are you sure you authorized it for the ID)s) that purched all the media on the iPod?
    If so them maybe:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

  • I am no longer able to change songs using my headphones

    After updating to iOS 6.0 on my iphone 4S I am no longer able to change songs using the headphone controls and when i double click on the home button it no longer allows me to turn my music on and off without unlocking the screen and going into the music app on the phone.
    Any ideas why this is?  Is it a known bug?

    Start by opening Disk Utility, from Applications > Utilities, then select the internal storage MacIntosh HD, and then Repair Permissions.  You should see some printer libraries noted as having the wrong permissions, that may be part of the problem.
    Be sure you have the latest printer/scanner drivers installed by going to the Canon site and download the latest available.
    You can also try using the Mac OS X built-in scanning software by going to Applications > Image Capture and see if that handles the scanning for you - works great with my Epson scanner.
