Connected Apple devices - can no longer right click to show info
I have iTunes 12.0.1.26 installed, but now find that you are no longer able to right click on any connected Apple device and look at the details of that device, such as space used, software version, or look at the device settings for syncing Calendars and Emails etc. Why have these options been removed? If I right-click on my iPhone, the only options I get are Play, Shuffle, Eject, Reset Warnings. You actually cannot click on the device itself to reveal this information, all you get is the expansion arrow to the left and the sub-menus underneath, such as Music, Films etc.
Not all of my devices are on the latest software version, particularly my iPhone, as I cannot fit it on!
View > Show Sidebar or Ctrl+S. Your device should be on the left like iTunes 10. Do the results change?

I upgraded to Maverick O/S and I can no longer right click on iPhoto images to find my photo files. My photo files are not where they were before upgrade.
Have you checked the sorting settings to make sure they are as you expect?

Can no longer "right click" after installing 10.6.7
Ever since I updated my macbook with 10.6.7 I am no longer able to "right click" with my two fingers and thumb. HELP!
OK, in that case please enable the guest account, log into it, and see whether you can set the same trackpad preference there. If you can, then log out of the guest account, go back to your account, open a Terminal window, and copy or drag the following text into the window (don't type it yourself):rm Library/Preferences/{,ByHost/}.GlobalPreferences.*plistPress the Return key. Then log out and log back in, and reset your trackpad preferences.

After 10.10.3 update I can no longer right click. Anyone else with this issue?
After updating to the latest software I am unable to right click on my magic mouse like before. Now I have to use control and click. Anyone else with this issue?
Did you check the settings in Mouse preferences?
Download and install the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update. -
I should note, I am using the latest version as of today, I am using the portable version, and I have a TON of addons, a list of which I can post if I have to. Any Ideas what could be causing this? I use the "Open link in a New Tab" option every single day. I don't want to have to hit some special button to do so like my current temporary workaround with tab mix plus, I miss the old method, the option is still there in the context menu, but it won't do a single thing ever :(. Also not working is "Open Link in This Tab" and "Open Link in Duplicated Tab" (Not that I ever use those ones so who give a F). "Open Links in New Tabs" Still works though, but not for single links, so its not an ideal workaround. I can't afford to simply reset the browser, my settings, my addons, everything would be gone. I could back it up with FEBE but then I would be right back where I started. :(
Guys, I should wrap this up and let you all know so this page may help those experiencing the Firebug Context Menu Glitch. It's messed up, that was one of my favourite programs :(. Now looking for a version that doesn't do that.

Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click and hold shift key and be able to get to it. Anyone figured this out?
The "legacy" metadata editors, for which there was a "back door" in iTunes 12.0, have gone from 12.1. However, the revised editors in 12.1 provide access to (almost) all the metadata elements that were available in iTunes 11, albeit in a different layout and with some additional constraints based on media kind. Some users have / will have an issue with the statement that "Get Info has been completely redesigned in iTunes 12 to focus your attention only on what’s necessary for the selected item" since that removes some metadata elements that people may have been using in creative ways. iTunes 12.1 basically gives you access to the fields that Apple think are necessary ... . Some of the things that have been excluded by this rule:
track and disc number fields for video media kinds
show and episode fields for music
description tab for audiobooks made up of more than one file
Obviously the first two examples can be regarded as "overloading" the metadata elements - i.e., using them in ways that the designers didn't intend - but given that some users do find valid cases for this it's a shame that they've been deprecated in the new UI. There are couple of workarounds:
in songs view (or any of the other columnar views), you can still select any fields to display, independent of media kind, and these can be edited (though only one at a time) by double-clicking in the relevant "cell"
you can (temporarily) change the media kind of an item (or group of items) to get access to metadata elements that would otherwise be inaccessible.
It may be worth submitting an issue via https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html - I can't see it as a huge development task to have a user preference to switch between "show all fields" and "filter fields based on media kind".
One other oddity/irritation is that some of the tabs don't, by default, show all the available fields - you need to scroll up/down to access them or to expand the window by dragging on one of its corners. Fortunately, the latter seems to be persistent - once you've done this to make all the fields visible the editor will open at the same (larger) size when opened again. -
We have an Apple e TV 1st generation. We want to use AirPlay. When we go to Software Update, under settings, general, we get this message - There is no update available. Apple TV can't check right now. Try again later
The wiFi is connected and working
Please help?Also the 1st gen device was discontinued awhile ago, since it runs on a different OS compared to the newer models it hasn't received any updates for 3 or 4 years now. There would be no update to check for.

Listmates: Has anyone had problems connecting Apple devices to the network set up after connecting all PC's and other devices (a BlueRay disc player, for Netflix, etc.), using the WRT160N router? Cannot seem to connect either my iPod Touch, or my daughter's iMac computer to the new wireless network created when I installed the new router -- no problems with wired connections to the BlueRay player or a PC in my office, and I was able to set up a wireless connection to my Dell laptop upstairs, effortlessly, yet nothing I try allows me to connect the iPod Touch or the iMac computer wirelessly.
To my knowledge, I never set up a Password for the wireless connection between the new router and the Dell laptop (the wireless network), and I'm continually asked for one when trying to connect with my iPod; have tried the sign-on password for the laptop, the same with the "home" computer to which the router is connected (wired), and anything else I can think of (including the Encryption Key generated by the router when installing) -- nothing allows me to connect.
Thanks!There is no such issue between wrt160n router and MAC devices. For wireless connection issues, you can try changing the channel on your router. Which security mode are you using on your wireless router? Do you receive any kind of error message while connecting on a MAC device?
Refer to this link on how to change the channel http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=f2625b15a5d7454b8e7fafbe65d5aa63_4009.xml&pid=80&r... -
How do I reorder songs in a playlist in the new itunes??? I can no longer just click and drag. When I click, it doesn't move!!!! Need help ASAP- trying to prepare for an aerobics class and need songs in a specific order!
Vera,
Use View > View Options, and set 'Sort By" to "Manual Order."
Then you will be able to drag-n-drop songs up and down the list. -

Why can't I right click or click with my scroll wheel on Top Sites in Safari 8?
Why can't I right click or click with my scroll wheel on Top Sites in Safari 8 to open the selected website in new windows? I was able to do that in the last version of Safari before upgrading to Yosemite and Safari 8.
Having to hold down the command key obviates the ease of use where I used to just click with my scroll wheel to open several of the Top Sites in new tabs.

my apple tv devices and other apple devices can access my library but using my library, i cant access any of the apple tv devices through airplay
Home sharing isn't working either
Which is why you can not use the remote app. Did you turn on home sharing on your computer and on ATV?
eve though they have the same Apple ID.
Did you enter the ApplieID in the home sharing login though? Or just in for the iTunes store, or iCloud, or photo sharing, or something else?
Home sharing isn't working either, I can't play or transmit any video from my iPad to the Apple TV because it doesn't recognize it
That would be AirPlay, not homesharing. THey are not related. Did you enable air play on all the devices?
Have you run the network test tools on ATV? Can ATV access the iTunes store, Netflix, etc? -
When connecting Apple devices to your iPhones wireless hotspot do those devices stop background data processes to conserve data?
In other words if you have a limited data plan on your iPhone will your other Apple devices such as an iPad automatically cease background data transfers to conserve data usage?Nice trick to connect your Apple Devices to your wireless network.
Will help the users if they are facing the problem with the apple devices. -

in my iTunes library I can no longer see purchased TV shows and Movies that are not downloaded to my computer.
In my Itunes account i have no hidden TV shows or Movies
I used to be able to view all cloud and downloaded content. I no longer can.There used to be option to show items that are in the cloud in your library, but I can't find where that now is (unless it's been removed). You should be able to see what items that you can re-download via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (at the top right of that there should be a 'not on this computer' button)
Edit : Just seen your reply, though I don't appear to have that setting on mine. -
