Go to current song

Why can I not 'go to current song' in a smart playlist anymore? Also why has the total amount of songs/time display gone?

Hmmmm. There does seem to a bug here.
If I have the Side Bar showing and start a playlist, then the CMD-L doesn't work properly. But if I turn the Sidebar off and use the PLAYLISTS pane, then it does work.
I have complained (a lot !!) to Apple about the obvious sloppy testing of this release. There are many examples of a lack of uniformity which need to be addressed and the only way to get them fixed properly is tell Apple about them.

How to view current song in MiniPlayer?

How do you see the name of the current song that's playing when in MiniPlayer mode? If I click the button to show the "up next" list, it shows the songs that are coming up next (obviously) but how do I see the name of the current song? More importantly, why isn't the currently-playing track at the top of the "up next" list shown in some kind of different shading to give an indication that there's something different about it?
I'm pleased that there is now only one button click required to get between the main window and the MiniPlayer, so that's an improvement at least. But why there's no way to see the name of the current song I don't quite understand. It's unfathomable, really. I know it's only 11.0, so perhaps this slipped off the radar, but seems like a very obvious thing to leave out, IMHO.

For me, in System Preferences -> Keyboard, I had "All controls" selected at the bottom of the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab, instead of "Text boxes and lists only". As a result, whenever I activated the MiniPlayer, it had one of the control buttons already highlighted (generally, the Rewind button).
iTunes behaves as if the mouse is hovering over the player in response. The solution I originally found in this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20438584#20438584) was to just press Tab a few times, until the Playback controls weren't highlighted, and the track info appeared. The other option is just to turn off "All controls" tabbing in the Keyboard Preferences, though this will require you to restart iTunes to get the MiniPlayer to behave properly (otherwise, some other function will be highlighted, and the space bar won't work for Pause and Play).
Hope this helps.

Select a song to play next (after current song)

I love iTunes, but for me it's just missing one thing....
I can't (at least I don't know how) select a certain song from my playlist to play AFTER the current song is finished... If it would have that function, or a way to do this, it would be ALL I need for a music player.
Is there a way in iTunes to select the song to play next?
And/or arrange your playlist in the way (the order of songs) you want?

*Is there a way in iTunes to select the song to play next?*
iTunes doesn't have the "queuing" option you describe (except within the Party shuffle function which queues songs and within which you can drag songs into order). If you'd like to see an option like this in some futer version of iTunes you can send feedback/feature requests directly to Apple at this link: Apple Product Feedback
*And/or arrange your playlist in the way (the order of songs) you want?*
Open the playlist and click on the number column (extreme left). Click on the song you want to move, hold down the mouse button and drag the song to where you want it to be. Make sure neither Shuffle or Repeat are switched on in the playlist, either of those can prevent you reordering tracks.

On current song/podcast I can no longer see or adjust which point in the song I can go to. How do I fix?

I used to be able to go back 30 seconds in a podcast as well as see current time elapsed and remaining. I don't see this at all in current songs or podcasts playing. How do I see this again so I can go back or forward within a song or podcast?

Never mind. I'm an idiot. All I need to do is tap the screen.

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!

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.

Just put my i-tunes library on a 2nd hard drive, how do I easily change the location where the program looks for current songs from the C:/ drive to the new drive without going thru each song individually in the "get info" tab

I just installed a new hard drive and transfered my i-tunes library to the new drive. How can I make a bulk change of the location the program looks for the current songs. I know you can do it song by song from the "get info" tab but I need to do it for all 4500 songs. I have already changed the location that new files are stored to the new hard drive.

The pop-up lets you connect to the library file, iTunes Library.itl, on the external drive. This will, in turn, automatically update the preference for the iTunes Media folder to be the iTunes Media or iTunes Music folder inside the iTunes folder on the external drive and it will update the locations of all the content inside the media folder so that it uses the version on the external drive.
This works seamlessly if all iTunes content was inside the iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder (which was itself inside the iTunes library folder) before you moved/copied the iTunes folder. For content outside the iTunes Media folder iTunes should remain connected to the original location. These files should be consolidated (before or after the move/copy) and in addition, if available the library should be upgraded to the newer layout which places iPod Games and Mobile Applications inside the media folder instead of the library folder. (File > Library > Organize Library...)
For split libraries there are methods to rejoin them before moving (preferred) or repairing after the fact (e.g. my script) which I can go into if needed.

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" 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.

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

It takes you to the current playlist, but not current song, anyone with the same issue?

Did you get it to actually go to the song within a playlist when using the Grid or Artist List view?
I can get it to go to the playlist, but not highlight or navigate to the actual song.

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).

"Go To Current Song" appears broken for playlists

"Go To Current Song" should take me to the current track and give it focus (i.e. highlight it). If I'm playing the song straight out of my library, it does the right thing; but if the song is in a playlist, it jumps to that playlist but does not highlight the track. Focus remains on the playlist in the left column (i.e. if I hit the arrow keys up/down the playlist changes).

In the last version of itunes, you could simply click the arrow next to the song to immediately jump to it, leaving all of your layout grid intact. As it stands now, it goes to the song playing, but jumps to a new layout and the playlists go away (if they are showing). This is my problem. I think i found a workaround for this. It's not as easy as pressing one button, but it works. Here's what i do:
1. Go to "View" in the dropdown menu and toggle "Hide Sidebar" (cntrl-s). This will put your layout back to what it used to look like on the last version, where your playlist is on the right side of the screen with the "Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc" all stacked up like they used to be.
2. When you want to jump to a song, mouse over the song in the upper-middle window until the arrow appears. Right Click on it (PC users), and select "Go To Song." Voila, your layout stays the same and in the song list, you pop to your currently playing song.
Again, not as simple as one click of the arrow, but it works. i still agree this is annoying and wish the old functionality worked. i am a Dj and make a LOT of play lists and jump around to tracks quite a bit. Apple, please fix this. Thanks. It might not be everyone's fix on this thread, but I hope this helps somone.

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.

In album view automatically display current song

itunes 11.0.5.5
in album view as songs are shuffled, is there a way you can configure so that as the next song is played, the album view is updated to display the current song being played?
right now, it does not update at it moves to play the next in the shuffle queue.

Thanks for you help turingtest2.
I have searced for that file and I get it twice in the same folder. one of the files has a date stamp appended to it 2013-01-25 (todays date).
I copied both files to another folder and moved the album artwork folder to the same folder.
I then restarted itunes. I did not have to request any artwork and the original artwork was still there (incorrectly). It did not seem like anything was downloaded as itunes opened quick and when i selected album view it went to there without delay automatically with the artwork there.
The album artwork folder was recreated in the itunes folder.
I did a search for the *.itc files and it seems the old moved album artwork folder contained may more *.itc files than were recreated in "recreated" album artwork folder. Not sure if that means anything.
Hmmm.

How can I stop play after current song unattended?

I want to be able to tell iTunes to stop after the current song ends. Is there a way to do this?
Using a playlist, it will play through the list and stop, I realize. But I would like to tell it to finish this song and stop, regardless of where in any list it might be.
Tx.

Hi,
As other suggested, there is no SAP standard Tcode or program to control it.
But you can always develop a ABAP Prog with the below logic, I am sure that you will be able to achieve your target.
1) Develop a ABAP Z prog with such a logic that this program should look into the table TBTCO for the job details which you want to cancelled and if found your job status Active, this should kill that job.
2) Now schedule this program as a BG job starting at 6:45 AM in the system with daily frequency.
With this program, You should get your target.
With Regards,
Saurabh
