"Go to Current Song" freezes iTunes 11.1

…on both my early 2009 24-in iMac using 10.8.5 and my early 201115-in MacBookPro.
Anyone else? Any ideas?
AND: did we just loose scroll bars in the library/playlist section, or have we been without for a while?
Thanks.

Hm. Yeah, it seems to freeze it for me too. I don't remember that happening yesterday - maybe because I'm currently playing a podcast?
I'd already noticed that iTunes 11.1 was freezing whenever I tried to go to the next or previous song in the Get Info section: I'd asked about it here, but so far no responses.
Well, "Go to Current Song" has left iTunes hanging for about 3-4 minutes now - I'll give it another few minutes before Force Quitting it. Man, I have been Force Quitting iTunes A LOT in the past few days!
I currently see a scroll bar in the library/playlist section - you mean the lefthand column in iTunes, right? There's a scroll bar there right now, but, well, iTunes has frozen so I can't do much with it.

  • Restart current song while iTunes is not the current active app

    In prior iTunes 11 / Mtn. Lion when using an Apple keyboard the F7 key when pressed would re-start a song that was playing with one press, and go to the previous with 2. This functionality has changed so that now it will go to the previous track with one press.
    Is there a way to change the functionaly back or, add a separate key command that allows me to restart the current song when iTunes is not the currently active app?
    Thanks!

    I have a SteelSeries Shift keyboard, and experienced the same problem after updating to 10.4.
    Found this little piece of software to fix the problem for me:
    http://code.google.com/p/hktunes/
    It's not ideal, as it has to run in the system tray in order to work, but it's way better than being without the functionality of the hotkeys, untill the problem is fixed.
    Hope this works for you guys as well!

  • Go to current song in itunes

    The "Go to current song" no longer appears in the View menu.  There appears to be no way to go to the song that is currently playing.  Did Apple move this feature or get rid of it?  Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    It is in the Controls menu.
    Also, you can click the back arrow on the right side of the LCD Info display (top center of iTunes).

  • Viewing Current Song in iTunes 10?

    Is there a command for iTunes to show you the song that's currently playing (show it highlighted in a visible list in the browser window)? Suppose it's on shuffle and you are separately doing stuff in iTunes like making a different playlist. Can you somehow say, "hey, get me back to the current song and show me what it is"?

    From iTunes Keyboard Shortcuts (in the Help menu):
    Show where a song file is located
    Shift-Command-R
    Show the currently playing song in the list

  • Skippping songs, freezing, itunes not recogonizing iPod, etc.

    think I have about had it with my iPod. I have had it a 1 1/2 years (which i have heard is the typical lifespan of ab ipod). Yesterday, my iPod just started skipping songs and freezing and making loud clicking noises. When I plugged it in to the computer, it said I had corrupt files. I started deleting the corrupt files (which seem to have played fine for the past 1 1/2 years but now suddenly were corrupt) and iTunes froze and said "not responding." When I rebooted the computer, iTunes would not recognize my iPod, so I could not delete the corrupt soungs or even restore the iPod (When I tried to restore the iPod, I got the message that there was no iPod attached). Long story short, finally got all the songs deleted and restored the iPod. Only downloaded about 20 songs to the iPod (straight from a new CD). Worked for awhile (30 minutes), then started skipping songs or freezing. Hooked it back up to the computer and of course iTunes could not recognize it. So had to reinstall itunes, restore ipod (third time in two days!) and did 10 songs this time. Same story skip, skip, skip, freeze. What is going on? Is my iPod dead? Reading these discussions boards has convinced me that iPods more often than not "don't work."
    A friend of mine told me that when he bought his 20 GB iPod, the guy at the Apple Store told him not to expect it to last more than 2 years. Should I just buy a new one?

    For click sound and skipping
    Hello,
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“Partition Magic”.
    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    Advance Level
    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning ! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
    Last Resort Level
    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery replacement (with pictures)
    http://www.kokopellimusic.us/KM_instructions.htm
    Have I tried this myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

  • Adding songs freezes iTunes during copy

    Whenever I drop a group of mp3's on Itunes, the application will hang with 'not responding' about 1/2 way thru during the copying process. I have tried a 'force quit' but have to restart in order to be able to launch iTunes again.
    I have tried a repair permissions but it didnt help.
    Please help!!

    I have had the situation where a single mp3 causes iTunes to choke on copying it. I'd get the beachball cursor for a while, and then I'd try to Force Quit iTunes. Even then it took a while to quit. If I simply let it continue for a few minutes, it would eventually seem to start playing but it would just be a one-second burst of noise, then a pause (with beachball cursor), another burst of noise, etc.
    It was always specific files that would do this, and always free sample tunes that I had downloaded from places like insound.com, epitonic.com, etc. so I'd simply trash the file and move on. If I tried to download it again, the same thing would happen. If I previewed it in the Finder, it would sound corrupted, but at least it didn't cause a freeze. Typically it would be fewer than 1 in 100 files that are messed up this way.
    I never had it happen while simply opening a group of files though, and never for a file that previously opened successfully.

  • No technical issue - Couldn't find current song in iTunes

    Hi community,
    sorry for breaking in your very technical discussions. But does anybody know, what happens to Elvis and Lisa Presleys Duet in iTunes? Latest infos on web regards to its availablity in iTunes.........maybe its only available with certain configurations (iTunes plus)?
    regards
    Stevyxx

    This topic has been discussed in some depth on the forum. First, quit iTunes the relaunch it. If that doesn't solve the problem then disable iTM, wait a couple of minutes, and reenable it. Either of these steps will generally clear up this issue.

  • Computer freezes when importing CDs or playing songs through iTunes

    Hi! I have been searching for a solution to this problem, but have not had any luck. Whenever I try to import a CD to iTunes, my computer freezes. Just recently, my computer started freezing when I play songs through iTunes. I have noticed that some people have similar, if not the same, problem and any suggestions of things that may help are greatly appreciated!

  • HT1202 I currently have a 4g iPod loaded music from my own cd's through iTunes on computer I no longer have.  Now would like to add new songs but do not want to lose current songs. How do I do this help!

    Currently need help to load additional songs on my iPod without losing current songs that were load from my own cd's through iTunes year ago on computer I do not have therefore songs are not on my current computer   I would like to up load from this devise to current computer &add additional songs. Through purchase & my cd collection without losing current iPod songs.   Please help

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    I recently purchased songs from itunes via my pc and I dont know how to get them onto my iphone? When I click the sync button it says I will lose all the music currently on my iphone.. Help

    If you're syncing with a different iTunes library than the one you previously synced with, then there is no way around it. You're gonna loose the old data. The only way round it would be to make sure that all the music files on your iPhone is also in your iTunes library. If you still have access to the computer with the old library, you could copy the files on to an external harddrive, and then import them into your new iTunes library.
    If it is in fact the same library, then the music currently on your iphone, is also in your itunes library. Just make sure that the artists/albums/playlists, or whatever you sync contains these tracks, that you allready have on your phone and don't want deleted. What i do is, i create a playlist specifically for my iPhone, and i set it up to only sync with this playlist. Whenever i hear a track from my iTunes library or buy a new track that i want on my phone, i just drag it to this playlist and next time i synchronize, it's there without deleting anything else.

  • ITunes 10.4.1 Problem with Key Command Go to Current Song - Doesn't always work

    Since updating to iTunes 10.4.1, I've noticed that the key command, command + L doesn't always work to display the current song.

    I have this problem in iTunes 10.7 (21). The "Go to Current Song" option exists in the Controls menu, but even when audio is playing it is disabled.

  • Go to current song (command L) is not working in itunes 11

    Go to current song (command L) is not working in itunes 11, anyone having the same issue?

    Thanks for figuring that out.
    I thought that command-L was working when I first switched to iTunes 11, but then it wasn't working anymore. That's the ticket: I changed the display to show the sidebar.
    Still, I'd like to be able to use the command-L feature whether I'm showing the sidebar or not.
    I'd also like it if iTunes would keep showing the currently playing song when in Grid or Artist view modes. It doesn't, so I have to keep using command-L to see the current song info.

  • ITunes "next song/forward" button instead restarts current song

    This just started happening to me. Every time I try to skip to the next song, iTunes instead just restarts the current song. It was happening with iTunes 8, I installed 8.2, it's still happening; it happens if I push the button with my mouse OR if I use the key control to advance to the next song. I'm using a Macbook. Help, it's really annoying!

    oh for gods sake. for some reason it was set on "repeat one song." I AM SORRY FOR BEING A MORON XO.
