Feature request: allow to restore previous playing position on start iTunes

I have very big music store and it'll be convenient to get an option "restore playing position on start".

I'd suggest you submit your suggestion through the iTunes application feedback page. It's more likely to be seen by the iTunes development group that way.

  • Feature Request | Allow custom metadata per table/column to be stored

    Someone please correct me if there's already a feature that allows this...
    I'd like to see a feature where you can define a set of metadata that can be stored per table / column, and perhaps a trigger that updates that metadata.
    As a use case, it is sometimes necessary to find out how many records exist in a table, and the typical way of doing this is by running a statement like select count(*) from example_table;. With a large table, this statement might take a long time though, and certainly has overhead associated with it. If this is something that's done on a regular basis, like maybe even once every minute, wouldn't it be much better to store this number as metadata for the table that can be updated on inserts and deletes and then can be queried? It might involve extra overhead on an insert or delete statement to add to or subtract from this number, but then for some applications the benefit of getting the count quickly might outweigh the extra overhead.
    Another use case is finding a minimum or maximum out of a table. Say you store a date and you need to find the max value for some feature in your application; with a large table, and especially if its a date with accuracy to the millisecond where an index wouldn't help much because most values are unique, it can take quite a bit of time and overhead to find that max value. If you could define for that column that you'd like to store the max value in metadata, and could query it, it would be very quick to get the info. The added overhead in this scenario would be on insert, update or especially on delete, the value would have to be updated. But in some applications, if you don't expect alot of deletes or updates on this column, it might be worth the added overhead to be able to quickly find the max value for this column.
    I know you could probably make a separate table to store such info, and write triggers to keep it up to date, but why not have a built in feature in Oracle that manages it all for you? When you create a table, you could define with the column definition something like 'METADATA MAX' and it will store the max value of that column in metadata for you, etc.
    I know that the overhead of this feature wouldn't be good for most circumstances, but there certainly are those cases where it would be hugely beneficial and the overhead wouldn't matter so much.
    Any thoughts?
    Can this be submitted as a feature request? Am I asking in the right place?
    (p.s. while you're at it, make a feature to mimic IDENTITY columns from SQL Server!)

    I don't think what you mentioned is exactly what I was talking about. There's no min_value or max_value in the dba_tab_columns table; there's only high_value and low_value, and they are stored in binary. And I believe to be accurate in the use cases that I suggested, you would have to analyze the table after every insert/update/delete. So no, that's not the same feature I've asked for, although I appreciate the feedback.
    Also, the num_rows in dba_tables relies on the table being analyzed too, so for a table that stores temporary date to be processed where you want to know the size of the queue every few seconds, it wouldn't make sense to analyze the whole table every few seconds when all you want is a count of the records, and it's also inefficient to use the COUNT function with every query when it would be much faster to store the count in some metadata form that is updated with every insert or delete (adding to a count and subtracting from a count with each insert/delete is WAY faster than analyzing the table and letting it literally recount the entire table every time).
    So again, while I appreciate the feedback, I don't think what you mentioned addresses either of the use cases I gave. I'm talking about a different kind of user defined metadata that could be stored per table/column with rules to govern how it is updated. Not you standard metadata that requires an analyze and isn't real time. I also only gave a few use cases, but the feature I'm really looking for is the ability for users to define many different types of custom metadata even maybe based on their own logic.
    Again, this feature could be implemented right now by creating a USERMETADATA table for every standard table you have, and then using triggers to populate the info you want at the table level and column level, but why do that when it could be built in?
    Also, I don't really agree that having to create a trigger/sequence for every table instead of setting a column as IDENTITY is better. It's cumbersome. Why not build these commonly used features in? It can create a trigger/sequence behind the scenes for all I care, but why not at least let someone mark a column as IDENTITY (or use whatever other term you want) at the time of table creation and let it do everything for them. But that's off-topic; I meant it for more of a side comment, but should really have a separate post about it.

  • Feature Request: Allow Apps to Access Apple ID User Address

    This is a feature request for new iOS functionality
    If iOS gave permission for apps to access the home or billing address a user has defined when setting up their Apple ID, then I believe the app can use this address to automatically set up the shipping of a purchased item for example. This would enable apps to sell physical goods, paid for by the user's Apple ID and set up for shipping to his Apple ID address, instantly.
    I believe couriers already have SDKs that allow apps to programatically register the pickup and shipment of an item.
    Users can then be able to manage their addresses in iOS/iCloud.

    This will never happen because of the obvious security implications.

  • After updating adobe flash and restarting firefox for mac, as requested, can't restore previous session

    using macbook pro with os 10.7.5, was recommended to update adobe flash while in firefox (22.0). did so, which required closing and restarting firefox during flash update. when complete, firefox opened automatically to adobe flash window and restore previous session was grayed out. can't figure out how to find and restore the tabs i had been using. related questions and answers don't find a solution. my settings are all normal and do not appear to have any relation to the problem. rather, it seems to be the closing and reopening of firefox associated with the updating of flash that nuked any memory of my previous session. is there a solution?

    i found my own solution to my problem! first of all, DON'T QUIT FIREFOX -- to be sure the current undesirable session doesn't become the "previous session". instead, open a new window (command-N). in my case, it opened to my usual default url and, while in that window (either before or after closing the first browser window that had opened automatically after updating adobe flash), the "restore previous session" option in history menu reappeared! clicked on it and, from then on, things just worked normally.

  • Feature request: Allow direct connections for contacts only

    Hello, on Windows there is an option "Allow direct connections to contacts only" as described on http://en.kioskea.net/faq/32357-skype-hide-your-ip-from-people-who-are-not-on-your-contact-list. Many people including myself would like to see this feature implemented in the Linux client. There are solutions to protect the IP from resolvers like setting up proxies. However, the performance of free SOCKS-proxies is mostly very bad. VPNs with an appropriate bandwidth also cost an amount of money and additionally, it is difficult to only route Skype traffic through a VPN. Setting up a VM with Windows or WINE just to run Skype is an overkill as well. I consider it inconvenient that this feature is implemented on Windows while - in my opinion - mainly Linux users being aware of security might be in need for this feature. Therefore, I request to implement such a functionality into the Linux client. Kind regards from Germany

    If  you want to enable that feature on a Skype client that does not offer it in the GUI you would have to do it manually.  You can follow the guidance here and the same information applies to the Linux client and any other client you have root or file-level access to. http://community.skype.com/t5/Modern-Windows-from-Windows/Windows-8-IP-Hiding/m-p/2876437/highlight/true#M19476 Linux path:/home/Username/.Skype/YourSkypeName/config.xml

  • FEATURE REQUEST: Allow Smart Playlists to sort by Release Date

    I listen to my iPod in my car and have a one of those kits where you can control your iPod through your stock stereo (i.e. select playlists by pressing buttons 1-6, and changing tracks with the next track/ last track buttons). One of my playlists is a smart playlist that looks for all downloaded audio podcasts that have not yet been played. As of right now, I have to go into the playlist after every update and reorder the podcasts manually in order from earliest release to newest release. The only date-sorting column right now is "date added". This doesn't work because if I update and download two or three episodes from one podcast, they all have the same date in that field, even if they were released on different days.
    Please iTunes, allow a column heading that sorts podcasts by Release Date. This would make my life a lot easier and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I know when I'm looking at all my podcasts from the Podcast-Manager portion of iTunes that I can see the Release Date column, however it is not an available column outside of that view.
    Anybody else wanna see this feature?

    I was looking for the exact funtion too. Please don't make our life any harder

  • Feature Request - Allow direct editing of hidden OCR text to correct errors

    Examining an OCR-scanned PDF allows the OCR plain-text results to be "previewed," but in a read-only format.  We need to be able to edit this text to correct the inevitible errors.
    I just scanned a document, and the results are mosty OK, but there are two lines that are complete garbage.  I personally have never performed a completely error-free OCR scan in Acrobat or anywhere else.  Editing the image text is no solution, especially if the font is unavailable.
    Other OCR-enabled apps I have worked with expect you edit the results.  Acrobat should too.

    If Adobe won't do it, maybe somebody else will.  Nuance.com specializes in OCR, among other things.  They've also got a PDF converter.  Maybe they'll recognize the value of marrying the two.

  • Feature Request: allow Layer sort options + math in layer search fields

    First off, thank you so much for implementing layer sorting! I have one suggestion, and that would be to add a sort option by most recently edited or most recently created.
    That and the ability to do math in fields would be sublime.

    Hello Sly,
    I did exactly thuch beast for freehand some years ago. It's called Layersets. Perhaps we can discuss this off list first.

  • How do I restore previously backed up data on itunes to my new iphone

    I just got a replacement iphone5 from Asurion insurance company bc my original one got wet and wasn't working correctly. I backed all my data up to itunes. When I plug in my new phone itunes registers "two iphones" and it won't let me restore my previously backed up data onto the new phone. Does anyone know how to get around this so I can transfer my backed up music and contacts? thanks!

    The lower section of the following has instructions on using iTunes backup to transfer to a new device and may have something that will help: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

  • ITunes Feature Request

    I can't seem to find whether there is a official Apple web form to submit feedback/feature requests for iTunes. Does anyone know the URL for this?
    Also, here is my feature request...
    In order to access shared iTunes libraries over the LAN, the sharer must have iTunes open for me to access their content. I have a strong desire for Apple to enable this type of sharing to occur without the sharer needing to open iTunes. For instance, if I'm sitting on my couch with my laptop and I want to play music streamed from my shared iTunes library on my desktop in my home office, I would like to do this regardless of whether the desktop has iTunes open or not. This is also a huge issue with streaming content to the Apple TV. The Apple TV can only access shared libraries if the sharer has iTunes open and running.
    Does anyone know of third party software that accomplishes continuous sharing/broadcasting of your iTunes library over the LAN? I've never heard of such a thing and would like to suggest it to Apple. In the Windows world, I'm envisioning something running in the taskbar. I don't really know about the Mac OS X world, but I do know that directories are shared in Finder between Macs regardless of whether or not something is "open". It should be just as simple to ALWAYS be able to access shared iTunes libraries.
    Lastly, just out of curiosity, I'd be interested to hear if anyone feels like there would be significant technical hurdles that would make this very hard to achieve.
    Thanks,
    Aaron

  • Firefox 7 on Mac OS Lion Won't Restore Previous Session

    Just recently I have tried using the Restore Previous Session button when starting Firefox, and it won't restore the previous session. I'm not sure why this is happening. I'm using Firefox 7.0.1 on Mac OS 10.7.2. I deleted Firefox as well as my profile and reinstalled using a new profile, and I'm still getting the same issue.

    Yes, this is definitely a problem on Lion. What happens is a combination of both Lion and Firefox being dumb in opposite directions. Lion has this thing if you hit the "close" button on the window it doesn't close the program __unlike every other os, even other macs!!__ but it _looks_ like it closed. Since firefox doesn't count the window closing as a real close, it doesn't save anything. So if you hit the red "X", then right-click on the firefox icon and say "quit", and then open firefox, you lose everything. No session to restore from last time, nada.
    Although you can try to always remember to right-click and say "quit", I really think firefox should fix this so the user experience is consistent across all OS's. That is, if you hit the red "X" on your window on your mac, it should save your session for when you open it again. Please firefox, pretty please.... :)
    I have to switch between windows/linux/mac all day, so trying to remember different habits for each is a big PITB (don't get me started on "End" and "Home").
    Every time I update flash on a mac (god I hate I flash, but necessary for some things), I "close" firefox, and I end up losing months of curated tabs that are "things I need to read eventually". It really, really sucks.

  • Feature Request - Please allow for a "classic" view option.

    Please allow for a "classic" view option like you have in Mail.  Miss the sidebar that had a list of all the calendars using.  The pop up list is not nearly as functional.  iCal in Lion may be great for touch screen users but is a step back on the intuitive scale for Mac users.
    Also, the delete / revert button are too close to the done button.  Too easy to hit on accident.

  • Feature Request: Please allow us to merge audio with image sequence in AME.

    So far the only programs that allow this (that I'm aware of anyway) are the old version of QuickTime Pro, and Apple's Compressor. I simply want to add an image sequence to AME, and combine an audio track to that image sequence for export. This would save me an extra step. 80% of my work begins and ends in After Effects. I do very little video editing, so most of my exports are rendered from AE and then exported from Quicktime or Compressor to whatever file my clients request (Most often ProRes for a master version, and h264 or x264 Quicktime files for the web).
    Is it possible we might see this feature added anytime soon? Thanks!
