Dark bars around songs in Grid View with Dark Background

Hi, with the new update that added the option for the dark background in Grid View does anyone else notice dark bars around each song?

sidssp:
If you were able to get this new option in preferences to show up by removing your com.apple.iTunes.plist from ~/Library/Preferences, and you still have a copy of that file (maybe in your Time Machine backup on on your desktop), please email it to me <[email protected]>. Please include a link to this thread in your email and make the subject line be "Preference not showing up in 9.0.2".
Thanks,
Roy

Scroll Bar not functioning in Grid View with All Photographs selected

LR 4.3 on Windows 7
I can scroll through a bunch of photos while in grid view with the right side slider when I am looking at a folder with 15,000 images or less, but when I click the All Photographs, there is no little slider button. The slider tray is visible, but no button to drag. The catalog has 180,000 images now. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I tried using a text search within my All Photographs which brought up 71,000 images. The slider showed up fine with that many images.

Okay, I will answer my own question in case anyone else sees the problem.
When I am viewing my large catalog with only three thumbnails across in LR, I lose the little button to slide up and down. When I change Grid View to show four or more thumbnails, the button reappears. I'd suggest this is a bug needing fixing.

Cover Flow view with shared library?

I use iTunes for Windows on my laptop and share my library from my iMac...is there a way to utilize cover flow view with a shared libary?

Since just moving all my music to a NAS I was here researching the same issue. I can see the other three (only when music is specifically selected) but not Cover Flow. I believe it has been disabled. I played around with grid view with 428 albums and iTunes for Windows loads the art fresh evertime you start it and, on the smallest art size in grid view, it took a bit of time to load all the art.
If Cover Flow needs to cache up all the art work in advance then I could see how it would easily take my setup between 45 seconds to a minute to cache them all up.
Perhaps that would feel too clunky for Apple especially if one were to aggressively swipe through a set that wasn't completely cached.

Poster frame for cover flow view with safari bookmarks?

i have a friend on a pc who wanted to have his bookmarks display in a visual way so that he doesnt forget about them. so i told him to download safari for windows and use the cover flow view. he likes it, but some sites are not very recognisable by just the thumbnail of the front page. so i was wondering whether there is a way (or a workaround) to choose another image/icon for these bookmarks in the same way that it is possible to select any scene from a movie and have that be the icon/poster frame.
i hope i havent expressed this unclearly. thanks.

Album art shown in grid view

In the new grid view which shows the album art for artists, is there a way to set the image shown for the artist, like you press space to choose the picture shown in iPhoto?
It's annoying at the moment becasue I use it in artist mode but some artists with more than one album show the image for a compilation that they are on rather than one of their albums. Eg, under Coldplay, the artwork shown is a Now album, rather than say Viva la vida. Can I change the album shown as the main image?
Thanks

Ok, I've been playing around with iTunes 8 and have found the answer myself. If when in Grid view with more than the one album for the artist, show the album art required and right click and choose Set Default Album Artwork and it will change it to this. Alternatively choose Get Info whilst on the grid view and it will allow you to paste an artwork in here which it will use as a default.
Hope this helps anyone else wanting to do a similar thing!

Moving Images in Grid View

I can't for the life of me move individual images or groups of images around freely in grid view. The tutorial says to drag from the center of a thumbnail and drag it to the location you want it. I tried that and it just springs back to where it came from. I would like to randomly move images around in grid view and then number and rename. Any help is much appreciated
dgibb

I disagree. My point is that one should not have to keep in mind an underlying computing model in order to know when you can and can't sort.
In general (not a Lightroom point), as I'm primarily a PC user I'm used to climbing learning curves, but I love the transparency of Macs when I do use them.
That sorting isn't available in Lightroom just because I have an empty sub-folder makes no sense from the photographer's viewpoint.
It's not a big deal, but the sorting constraints are a clumsy rough edge in largely excellent UI.

Rounded Corners in Grid View

Seriously someone please tell me how to get rid of these rounded corners in grid view. I can handle a subtle curve on the corners but these are 32x32 pixel curves on every corners. Any bigger and I'll be browsing album artwork circles in grid view. The white background is annoying enough but this is about to make me ditch the program.

What I propose is the bottom of each thumbnail. Because the size of the thumbnail is variable mixed, possibly, with a 3 or 4 line word wrap this space would be more then enough for many users. Alternately, a new grid view with one photo on the left side coupled with extensive metadata on the right would enable quick views of keywords/metadata. Other programs such as acdsee pro have implemented similar functionality which I have found extremely valuable. The ability, at quick glance, to see how photos have been tag will greatly increase the efficiency of tagging. I agree that many users may find the function limiting, but they dont have to use it.

Reloading a grid view

I have a gridview and records are filtered based on date range selected. Also have a link on the grid that takes me to another page.
On the next page I have a link to take me back to the initial page and load the grid view with the same records that were there initially
here is code below to populate gridview
private void GridBind(DateTime strDate, DateTime endDate)
try
var sDate = Convert.ToDateTime(strDate).ToString("yyyyMMdd");
var eDate = Convert.ToDateTime(endDate).ToString("yyyyMMdd");
using (var conn = new OracleConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DbpoolConnectionString"].ConnectionString))
using (var cmd = new OracleCommand("select * from (select account_number,branch_code_sortcode,presdate,(amount/100) as amount," +
"customer_name,rec_id, " +
"(select count(*) from dctblchequeinfo_fc b where a.account_number = b.account_number) count " +
"from dctblchequeinfo_fc a where presdate between '" + sDate + "' and '" + eDate + "' and beneficiary = 'N') where count >= 3", conn))
conn.Open();
using (var reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
var dataTable = new DataTable();
dataTable.Load(reader);
grdFC.DataSource = dataTable;
grdFC.DataBind();
catch (Exception ex)

Grid view of books doesn't show everything - thus selective sync impossible

I have recently added a bunch of audio books to iTunes. However, only about half of them showed up in the grid view. Only after checking out the list view did I see that the books were actually in iTunes and just weren't shown.
This wouldn't be so bad if the selective synchronisation of books wasn't based on said grid view, with no possibility to change said view. Therefore, I have the choice between syncing all audio books, for which I do not have the space on my iPod, ignoring the ones the grid view doesn't show or deleting the ones I don't want synchronised and sync all others.
So, what do?

At a guess your "missing" books are simply organised as Music instead of Books - here's how to fix things...
Audiobooks
With iTunes 8.x or later you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that now make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. The main issue is that the iPod lists all audiobook files by track title/chapter name so unless you rename every track using a scheme such as *Book Title, Chapter XX* the tracks will play out of sequence. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook. Although I still mark the files as Audiobooks to keep them out of my main music section when it comes to the iPod I ignore it's Audiobooks feature and use my own playlists for access.
Note that I've used leading digits in the playlist names to arrange these in chronological rather than alphabetical order.

N.b. If you're having trouble organising audiobooks within iTunes see my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One cover for multi-disc album.

Images with transparent background layers

I have a number of .psd files with transparent backgrounds. If I import them into Aperture, they show up in the Browser and Viewer with black backgrounds. If I drag them into a Book, some of them behave as though transparent, but some retain the black background.
I can't see any difference in the files themselves. They were all created by the same means. Why would some of them lose their transparency in Aperture and some retain it?

Aperture doesn't support transparency at this time.
I'm pretty surprised that any of them behave as though transparent.
You should make the Image backgrounds the same color as the book pages to achieve a transparency effect.

My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

Dark borders around album art in grid view

Hi everybody,
since last week my iTunes is displaying strange dark borders around album cover art and iPhone apps icons in grid view (see http://j.imagehost.org/0154/1_21.jpg). I am using the dark background theme. I already tried restarting iTunes and the computer several times and deleting the iTune album artwork cache.
Does anybody have an idea what else I could try to remove these ugly borders?
Thanks in advance
Jens

I have the same issue here.
If i change my display profile in the system preferences to the default, they disappear.
But that can’t be the solution.
Has anybody a clue?

Light Gray Borders in Dark Grid View

With iTunes 9.0.2, I was able to switch to the "Dark" option of Grid View and it worked fine. However, I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and for some reason, the Dark Grid View option now shows light gray borders around the album art/video preview. When I click into the album art to show the listing of songs/videos, the view changes to the "Light" option. I've tried to delete all the iTunes preference files but it doesn't solve the problem. Here's what it looks like:

And when clicking on the video podcast link:

Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

If you have to reset your iTunes preferences, go into User/Library/Preferences. Search for "com.apple.iTunes" and move the following three files to your desktop:
com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
com.apple.iTunes.plist
com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
Once you have the files to your desktop, restart your computer and iTunes should be back in working order!

Playing a playlist with multiple albums in Grid View in iTunes 8

Hi All,
Here is a situation I came across, that was quite unexpected compared to the behaviour in iTunes 7.
Suppose I have a playlist with multiple artists/albums. I have this playlist in Grid View. I choose this playlist from the left side navigation tree and press the play button. This playlist is set to shuffle by songs. I expect it to play a song and jump to the next song. iTunes 8 would just keep playing the same songs in the first album listed in the Grid View and would not jump to any other.
http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/4726/itunes20080910191124oh2.jpg
In this screenshot above, it will keep the songs in "The Very Best Of". If I press Ctrl+L (show now playing) then it would show only the songs in this album. This quite explains why it doesn't play other songs.
To explain a bit more on what's happening:
If I go to List View the song now playing does not have the Now Playing icon:
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1113/itunes20080910191500vf3.jpg
Notice it is playing "Opa Opa" but in the List View, it doesn't show it.
This is because in Grid View if you play a song from the playlist, it has its own "virtual playlist"
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/5269/itunes20080910191525wl1.png
Notice the now playing icon there.
Why is this the case?
I hope you guys understood what I was trying to explain.

turingtest2: I had already done exactly what you described in the *"Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist"* section of your article. But what I hadn't done was the advice you gave as the last sentence in this section...*"In addition if you change the Compilation status of tracks they may be temporarily treated as tracks from an Unknown Album, again things should resolve themselves if you close and reopen iTunes".* As soon as I closed and restarted iTunes, the Unknown Album with five tracks disappeared and the tracks were again displayed with the correct album.
Your article is a great read, even for people who understand iTunes...there is a lot of helpful advice there to have bookmarked just in case any of the other problems you address are ever encountered. Thanks for taking the time to compile it and share it iTunes users.
