Genre options - any way to change?

Does anyone know if it is possible (if it isn't, I think this is a BIG flaw, if it is is, I've completely missed it) to change the options on an Ipod or in Itunes so that when I click on Genres (on my Ipod) and then on Soundtracks (hey, some people like showtunes), I can see the albums rather than the artists? This is completely useless as is. Many musicals download from ITunes or commercial cd's with the artist as "Various Artists" or by name of the particular singer of each song. When I'm on the road and feel like listening to a musical, it doesn't help me to go to Soundtracks and scroll through "Various Artists"--I want to see what musicals are in there and play one of them! I know I can scroll through albums instead, but I have hundreds of albums and that's not exactly easy to do and catch every musical as it scrolls by. Any way to do this?

Robin - nothing wrong with showtunes (and no, I'm not snickering behind my keyboard!). I have Wicked, Le Mis, and the Producers, on mine right now.
First, select Settings and then Main Menu on the iPod. Scroll down and select genres.
Second, take advantage of playlists! I have created 10 playlists in iTunes that I sync with my iPod. They include Jazz, Show Tunes, Americana, Symphonic, Rock. True, these are genre based playlists but in my genre tag I get much more precise: Contemporary Jazz, Vocal Jazz, Big Band, Bebop, etc so having more generic playlists makes it convenient.

  • HT4528 Is there any way to change the contact email?

    Is there any way to change the contact email? I had deleted my contact email without even a thought about my Apple ID. Any suggestions?
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    Without being able to login with the Apple ID credentials, it is not possible to change the recovery email address.  This is called security and prevents others from forcibly changing your Apple ID password and taking over the account.
    Options are either remember the security answers or fix access issues with the recovery email account.

  • Is there any way to change the background colour in Photoshop Elements 8?.

    Is there any way to change the background colour in Photoshop Elements 8?  There are two options offered in General Preferences, Appearance Options - Dark Grey or Light Grey - but even the Light Grey is much darker than that in Photoshop CS2.  I would like to make the background much lighter.  All advice will be appreciated.

    Thanks for your comments.
    I have seen that the background can be changed in PSE7 by using a slider in Preferences- General;  I don't understand why Adobe didn't keep that facility.

  • Is there any way to change the settings for the built in isight camera?

    I'm sure someone else has probably already asked this, but is there any way to change the settings for the built in isight camera? The resolution is horrible.

    Welcome to  Discussions, Prissymissysays
    The last Apple-published resolution data I saw said that iSight's resolution is 640x480 VGA. I do not know of any way to change iSight's resolution, but that level is plenty of quality for my webcam needs.
    The software you use to operate your iSight controls it, so specific answers will depend on what software you are using when you need more resolution. Check Help in that application to see if it can change iSight's resolution.
    Some software, such as Apple's QuickTime 7 Pro allow you to change iSight's video quality and compression level with its QuickTime Player > Preferences > Recording > Quality: setting. You can add iGlasses software to manually override some iSight settings that are otherwise controlled automatically by the software using iSight. However, I do not think either of these options really changes iSight's resolution.
    Check whether your iSight's lens cover has fingerprints or smudges on it. Then check iSight's image quality of your face in full sunlight about two feet from the lens. Best image quality requires more light than what most people would consider normal room lighting.
    If you are still having problems, consider the applicable suggestions from How to Troubleshoot iSight.
    If you need better resolution than iSight can deliver for some special imaging requirement such as close-up or high-accuracy images, you may need to consider using a different camera that better meets your special needs.

    If it has the same (bad) behavior on two different systems then there is a very good chance that the  drive is toast.
    BTW you'll get better response to your questions if the question actually reflects the problem you are having. In this case it would have been better to say you couldn't access the drive rather then that it doesn't show on the desktop.

    This is so I can delete music from my ipod knowing its rated on my i-tunes so I can then see later if I want to re-add it based on its rating

  • Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"? (OSX 10.10)

    Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"?
    I can change it for one conversation, but then it resets to the default, tiny font.
    The preferences menu only lets me change the conversation font.

    Hi,
    As you may remember there used to be a Messages pane to the Preferences where the Font and colour of the Balloons or background and the Font text colour could be changed.
    And there was a Format Menu for character, word and Sentence changes in the current IM or iMessage.
    Those have gone in Yosemite's version of Messages (Despite it retaining the designation of Messages 8 the same as Mavericks' version).
    All that can be done now is set the size of the font and this has been moved to the General Section of the Preferences.
    The Yosemite version has also been fixed to using the Balloons style of send and receiving any type of messages as well.
    Changing the Font would involved editing the Balloon.transcript file.

    It's not the comment field which is a restrictive description.
    In fact it's the window's background.

  • Thunderbird puts a new message at the end of the thread. Is there any way of changing this preference to listing new message at top of the thread?

    Thunderbird puts a new message at the end of the thread.
    Is there any way of changing this preference so that new messages are displayed at the top of the thread.
    This is is more logical. You need to see new message in thread directly, rather than scanning to end of thread to see what is there.

    No it is not possible. The newest message is attached to the message it is in reply to.

  • Any way to change picture timezones?

    Hi,
    I'm cleaning an older Aperture library and I've discovered a number of pictures that are listed with the incorrect timezone. Is there any way to change this after the files are already imported?
    To clarify: Aperture seems to store (in its own metadata) not just a file date/time, but also the timezone that that date/time is specified in. This is set at time of import, but in the case of these pictures, it was set incorrectly. The result is that the files have the wrong metadata and will either say they are taken in the middle of the night or will mis-sort when displayed along with other pictures taken around the same time (but with the timezone set correctly). The "Metadata|Adjust Date and Time..." command seems to be able to change the time, but not the timezone in which that time is specified. Many of these files have been substantially edited within aperture since importing, and I certainly don't want to lose those edits...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    You can change the timezones with the command "Metadata > Batch change".
    This panel has a setting "Adjust Timezone".
    Specify te timezone the camera has originally been set to
    And specify the timezone you want to see on the images.

  • Any way to change the order??

    I created a slide show with the 5.0 theme Portfolio, and in the midst of creating this the original page with the title and the portfolio on it only shows up after the slide show when I play it. Ive tried to just drag and drop it in front of the slide show but it wont work. Is there anything I can do other then start all over again?

    Is there any way to change the order of the items in the Files Inspector?
    Yes, but it must be done on a site-by-site basis.
    In the Site Definition dialog box, select File View Columns. You can control the position and display of columns there. The only one that can't be changed is Name.

  • Bcc: Is there any way to change the "undisclosed recipients" text ?

    Bcc: Is there any way to change the "undisclosed recipients" text appearing on the message at destination when I used Bcc?...
    Eudora offers the possibility to choose the text that appears when using Bcc.
    Does Mail do the same?...
    If yes, how?...
    Thanks
    sergio

    Every message that I send with addresses ONLY in Bcc:, when is received by others, or when I receive it back from some yahoo group, has the reading: "undisclosed recipients"...which I can see either when I receive an answer from some individual or when I receive the messages from the group.
    Of course, if I write any address in the "To:" space, what comes out is the address I type.
    My question was something else: HOW to CHANGE what comes out.
    In Eudora it is possible to have ANYTHING one wishes appearing INSTEAD of the "undisclosed recipients", it's enough to type a code inside the message once, and choose the text one wishes to appear.
