Eliminating panes in library view in iTunes 6

How do I get rid of those annoying artist and album panes that now appear over my view of the library?
Also, I selected "yes" when given asked if I wanted a continuous link/view of the iTunes "mini store." How do I get rid of this?
Thank you!!!!

  • Still possible to have consolidated Library view in iTunes 11 ?

    Hi,
    In prior versions, it was possible to view a "Library" view which would include all media (Music, Movies, Podcasts, etc) by following these commands? I don't want to screw anything up !
    This is taken from an article appearing in MacWorld, which I have used safely in the past.
    Quit iTunes if it’s running, open Terminal (in Applications -> Utilities), and enter these two commands (the $ is just the prompt; don’t type that), pressing Return after each:
    $ defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-library-playlist -bool TRUE
    $ defaults write com.apple.iTunes hide-library-playlist -bool FALSE
    Note that the second command may not be required—on one of my machines, this trick worked after only running the first command. On a second machine, however, I had to use both commands.
    Now restart iTunes, and notice the new Library entry in the Library section of the iTunes side panel. Click on it, and you’ll see that it contains absolutely everything—music, TV shows, movies, podcasts, etc.—in iTunes.

    Sorry, thanks for your reply, but you missed the point.
    The commands allowed a consolidated view named "Library" which sat at the top of the Library list above Music.
    It contained ALL of the media, not matter which catagory it was filed under. Very helpful for organizing, etc.
    This was actually a hidden preference in iTunes, hence the abiltiy to make it appear via the terminal command.

  • Removing iTunes similar items from Library view

    The information that appears in the library view of itunes from ITMS is anoying & limits the amount of lines that are visible from the Library. Is there anyway to stop that informayion from appearing or at least is there annyway to limit the amount of screen space that tha information takes?
    Ted

    Hi Ted,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Not quite sure what you are referring to - the column views can be changed in the view menu.
    Is it the Browser - you can show and hide this on the view menu.
    Is it the MiniStore - again toggle on or off with the view menu.
    Regards,

  • Added albums to iTunes, but they do not show up in the Music Library view.

    I imported some albums and the albums do not show up in the Music Library view, however I created a playlist containing all songs added today and they show right up. Is there a fix for this?

    They don't show up at all or they don't show up where you expect them to?
    The iTunes Library is divided into a number of sources, Music, Podcasts, Books etc. Each file added ends up in just one of these sources depending on its *Media Kind* plus any playlists for which it has matching criteria.
    Settings such as *Part of a Compilation, Sort Artist* or *Sort Album Artist* can make albums appear in an unexpected location within Music.

  • Is there any way i can access my itunes library without downloading iTunes? i just want to view it online.

    I just want to view my itunes library online without downloading itunes. Is there anyway to do that?

    Not without being able to remotely log in to the computer containing it. An iTunes library is never stored on Apple’s servers.

  • Can't select cover view from itunes directly from ipod, only from library??

    Hi,
    I'm unable to select cover flow view on itunes from my ipod touch. Artwork and coverflow show up great on ipod when not connected to mac/itunes acct. and when using library on my mac.
    Please Help... THANK U

    OK, I got it to work. I updated iTunes to 12.1. Rebooted the iMac, reconnected the iTouch and tried dragging the song from my iTunes library to the iTouch again. This time it copied OK. I'm not sure why.

  • Help with itunes music library view

    My itunes library view is only showing purcahsed items, not my full music library.  I've checked advanced preferences and am pointed to the correct library and all my files are there but they aren't showing in the library view?  I'm terrified to sync my devices and lose all of my music and playlists.

    I can't find any file with an .itl extension (but I can't find one on our other Mac, either, so it isn't just my MacBook). In addition to the iTunes Music Library.xml file, there's a file [on both our Macs] that's simply called "iTunes Libary" (the file kind is listed as "iTunes Database File") and that's the other file I read not to touch or delete.
    Would that be the one?
    It says it was created on July 3rd and last updated yesterday, so if that does turn out to be the one, then that really could be the end of the playlists. July 3rd was the day I first started trying to move my library (and failed, as the new HD was defective and ate everything I put on it before imploding, so I'm putting everything back in the original location). I didn't read the instructions not to touch the .xml file until Friday or Saturday, and I can't remember if I checked to see if the playlists were still there between the 3rd and yesterday. So it's possible I did accidentally delete it on the 3rd.
    But I think I was still seeing stuff in my playlists over the weekend, and looking at my Recent Tracks Played list on Last.fm, it looks like I was listening to stuff on at least one of my iTunes playlists on the 5th. I'm pretty sure they were still intact after the 3rd.

  • ITunes Music Library: View (at top right on version 7)

    When selecting the third view in iTunes Music Library (to display album covers flip; such as in a juke box) this message is displayed. "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer." Now, what I can't figure out is why ... because I had previously been able to see this feature before. Any thoughts out there would be greatly appreciated.

    Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it solves your problem.

  • Itunes library view

    I have albums mainly in itunes library plus a bunch of individual songs.  can i put all the individual songs in one "folder" so that only full albums show up in library plus one other "folder"?  any advice welcomed. thanks

    thanks for your response.
    creating playlists does remove the individual songs from the library view though - correct?
    No.
    Every item in iTunes is always in Library.
    A playlist is simply a bunch of links to songs in the library

  • Trying to upgrade 3.6.28 to 27, imported bookmarks, Library view shows all folders in proper sequence, but 99% are not in Toolbar view at all.

    Jscher and Cor-el tried to help me a few years back w/o success.
    Trying again to upgrade from 3.6 (XP) to 27 (Win7).
    Exported from 3.6 as HTML file (also have json), and imported into 27.
    Last time, I never 'found' most of my bookmarks in FF 27. Especially not the folders.
    This time, I tried Library View and it appears everything is there, folders, subs, in sequence etc.
    BUT ... unlike in 3.6.28, I can still only see the contents of one folder in the right pane at a time.
    I can't work like that.
    SO ... maybe, I can access ALL my bookmarks some other way (not via Library)? Via a toolbar perhaps?
    But for some reason, the collection in the toolbar doesn't remotely resemble the organized collection I see in the Library. Virtually no folders, and in chaotic order. Many missing it appears. If the contents from the Library were mirrored in the Toolbar (using AIOS), I'd be good to go. Is this what I should expect? What more can I try?
    Thanks!!!

    The Library can manage all the bookmarks, but you need to open one of the three main folders in the left pane to see the bookmarks in that folder in the right pane.
    There are three main Bookmarks folders and bookmarks can only be created in one of those folders and its sub folders.
    * The "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the Bookmarks Toolbar (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars).
    * The "Bookmarks Menu" folder stores bookmarks that show in the Bookmarks menu and are created via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or via "Bookmark This Link" in the right-click context menu.
    * The "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder stores bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.

  • HT3819 How do I share just one movie (not my entire library) from my itunes library with an authorized computer using home sharing?

    How do I share just one movie (not my entire library) from my itunes library with an authorized computer using home sharing?

    many thanks.
    That should be possible.
    From his library connect to your library via Home Sharing.
    Select the name of the shared library in the source pane of your itunes, and click on the wee disclosure triangle to the left of the name of the library. Does "Films" appear beneath the name of the library?
    Here's a screenshot of what I mean.
    Select "Films". In the right-hand pane you should see the item you want to transfer. Just select that item, and click "Import".
    Use the same basic technique to get one or a few songs from your library transferred to his library. (The only difference is that you would have "Music" selected instead of "Films".
    If you don't want him to have access to other items in your library, you could just switch Home Sharing off on his library after you've done the transfers.

  • What happened to the sidebar view in iTunes 12.0?

    What happened to the sidebar view in iTunes 12.0?

    "Switch to Songs view.  Everything will be much clearer"
    I have no use for Songs view.  I always use Albums view (personal preference  - I think of my library as a collection of albums, not of songs), but never had any problem at all with the use of the top-left icons in iTunes 12.  Indeed, I much prefer the iTunes 12 version of the sidebar - ironically, for the reason that some seem to object to it: it doesn't clutter up a standardized listing of my library content with device-related information, and does not change if I connect an iDevice.  In general, the only interaction I need at the device level is the Eject function - all content syncing is controlled through playlists associated with each device I use (which, of course, are visible and can be modified whether a device is connected or not).  I only need to see the details of a device on the rare occasions I want to make a change to its behavior with respect to synchronization.

  • All the artwork in Album View in iTunes is fuzzy/blurry unless i repeatedly delete the cache.

    I recently bought a new laptop and transferred all my itunes tracks onto the new one from an external. Everything is fine, but in album list all the thumbnails are fuzzy and blurry. They album covers show up sharp in every other view such as coverflow, preview pane and grid view as well as on the ipod, but are fuzzy in album view. Some one suggested deleting the artwork cache to allow iTunes to rebuild it.I deleted it and reopened iTunes and found that this worked perfectly and all my artwork became sharp again. But if I close iTunes and reopen it, all the artwork wgoes back to being fuzzy and  stays that way until I deleted the cache again. It only fixes it as long as I dont close out iTunes.  How can I make them sharp again permanently like on my old laptop? (All my artwork is manually added and does not come from iTunes)

    Responding to your request here.
    I can't say it's a problem I've noticed personally, though now you've made me look it does seem that the large thumbnail is slightly fuzzier than the same image in the artwork panel. I have the artwork panel as small as it goes (small screen) and it is still slightly larger than the image in the browser so that might be all there is to it.
    Here's an example from my screen.
    Perhaps iTunes is storing a thumbnail at say "medium" size which it then blows up to create the large image. Are you seeing a similar effect or is your "fuzzy" art much fuzzier? A screenshot would be helpful.

  • Alphabetical problems with composer view in iTunes?

    I have mostly classical music in my iTunes library and would find the Composer view function really helpful... but it doesn't work properly.
    When I click on a composer within the letter A (Alwyn for example) then it lists all the albums that feature that composer on the right panel - like it should. However, when I carry on and get toward the end of letter B (Britten for example) then it starts to include albums featuring composers who is next alphabetically. And there after the alphabet is messed up.
    So when I click on Scarlatti, the only albums I also see albums featuring Schöenberg, etc. Some Scarlatti albums are also on the previous entry (Sawer). What is going on? And how do I fix it??
    Many thanks.

    .... would find the Composer view function really helpful... but it doesn't work properly.
    Teddy,
    The only view in iTunes that works properly is Songs view (IMHO).  Use Songs view.  Enable the Column Browser, and make sure that Composer is one of the fields.  Click on a composer's name, and you will get an accurate list of tracks for that composer.

  • Cannot resize the albums in album view in Itunes 11.  For those of us with large libraries (160gb), this is extremely frustrating.  I want to make the artwork smaller.  This seems to be a serious oversight.

    I agree.
    It was very useful to reduce everything to small and quickly scan down looking for missing artwork.
    Particularly useful when I only connect to the machine with iTunes via screen sharing, so everything can be a bit slower to scroll through at times.
    In fact, itunes 11 when used purely as a server for Apple TV etc is a downgrade in usability IMO, as they've got rid of some of the useful views that helped me manage my library remotely.
