"Grouping" menu option in iPod firmware?

I don't know if any iTunes developers are active on these forums (should that be "fora", as in "criterium/criteria"?), but if they are, the addition of "Grouping" as an additional option under "Music" in the iPod firmware would be very useful too, as having it only in iTunes but not in the iPod rather limits its effectiveness.
Many thanks,
Martin Reed

  • Cover flow missing as a menu option on ipod classic

    Any ideas - no idea why but I can no longer see cover flow as menu option on our ipod classic.  I have reset/updated software/ synced against playlist from other ipod which works but still no success.
    The album art is on the ipod as I can see it when viewing individual albums!

    actually, once you do a workout with the reciever attached, it will show up all the time, so that you can access your data....until it has data to report to you though, it doesn't show up, even when you turn it on in the menus....go for a run and it'll stay on the menu after that....

  • Menu option: Nike+iPod Settings Remote Link. Missing on 1st Gen Nano

    Hi,
    Really confused here.
    In the Nike + iPod manual section, 'Using a Nike + iPod Remote' its stated i need to:
    - Choose Nike+iPod > Settings > Remote > Link and follow the onscreen instructions.
    I dont have 'Remote' option on the 'Settings' menu.
    I'm on iTunes 7.7.0.43 (Vista) with Nano software 1.3.1
    Trying to connect an Nike + Amp watch to the Nano.

    I just took another look at this and figured out what i was doing wrong.
    In the event someone else is acting as dumb as me:
    - To get the Nike+iPod > Settings > Remote menu to appear on your iPod Nano. You need to be pressing Play / Pause on the Remote device, while the Nano is on the Nike+iPod > Settings menu. The Remote menu then auto-magically appears.
    - Pressing Play / Pause on the Nano is not the thing to be doing to make the remote menu appear.
    Yeah i feel dumb.
    But in my defence the manual doesnt specify the Play / Pause button to be pushing; the one on the Nano or the Remote.
    Happy running!

  • TS3716 I have an iPod nano (3rd generation). I've recently dowloaded iCloud. So now when I open iTunes the window is entirely different. And I don't have the previous menu options. I have downloaded audiobooks for years. Is it not supported by iOS5?

  • TS4062 I cannot find my IPOD touch listed on ITunes (there is no "Device" menu option - any advice?

    I cannot find my IPOD touch listed on ITunes (there is no "Device" menu option in iTunes- any advice?). Using IPOD touch (32gb) and connecting with a laptop using Windows Vista. Downloaded the latest ITunes and it wiped all my music. I was able to recover the music purchased on Itunes (but not my CD downloads). I am having difficulty syncing my IPOD now and all of the help guides tell me that I need to use the "device" options to fix it but there is no "Device" options in my ITunes ribbon.

    Just the old fashioned way, like if you lost your wallet.
    Apple will not help.
    If it is in your home and wifi is on and connected you can call it with FaceTime, Skype or other app that will play a notification sound and listen for it.

  • Video menu option is missing from my iPod menu.

    I purchased a 60gb photo ipod approximately two weeks before the video release. When the video release software was available I downloaded it and the "video" option appeared on my iPod menu. A few weeks later I ordered my first videos from Itunes. After downloading the videos and updating my iPod, I found the video menu option was gone from my iPod. I have reset my ipod, deleted and installed new software, used the updater and have never been able to get the "video" menu option to show up again on my iPod. I can view the video in itunes but I can't get it onto my iPod. I just downloaded the latest iPod and iTunes software today and still no luck. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, were you able to fix it? I love the iPod and would like it a lot more if the video function worked for me. Thx for the help.

    You need to have the 5G iPod with video for videos to transfer.

  • "Music" menu option disappeared from main iPod menu after software update

    I need some help. I own the 80GB Video iPod. After performing the most recent update to the iTunes software, I was notified of a software update for the iPod (v1.2.1) so I installed it on the iPod.
    iPod seemed to work fine until I decided to find music using the "Music" menu option on the main iPod menu... well, guess what, there is no "Music" menu option on the iPod. I have:
    Photos
    Videos
    Playlists
    Extras
    Settings
    Shuffle Songs
    ... no "Music" option.
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks,

    There is a "Main Menu" option under Settings, that allows you to customize what does and does not appear on the main menu. Just go there and turn "Music" back on.

  • When I don't have the BROWSER menu option turned on, the WINDOW menu options are un-accessable by mouse

    First of all, I would like to clarify which "menu" is un-accessable.
    I'm referring to the menu that regardless of which program, a user can access by either clicking ALT + SPACE or by clicking the top left corner of the window. I'm NOT referring to the FIREFOX menu options, those I am fine with.
    Normally, I can just move my mouse to the top left corner and double click to close a program. I used to be able to do that too with firefox 3.6. However, due to the new design, when I click the top left corner, I get the orange Firefox drop down menu. This is because firefox, due to the new update, no longer has an independent window bar that is the norm across most programs. The only way I can get this independent menu bar is to enable the browser menu bar. This however, adds two entire layers of bars, which defeats one of the purposes of the update, to give more viewing space
    The Chrome browser also has the tab row on top, however, it doesn't have the issue I brought up. When I click the top left corner of the window, the regular WINDOW menu options pop up.
    The reason why this is important to me is due to the fact that I use two monitors. Normally, I can just move my cursor to the top right and close the window without looking for my right hand side monitor, and then double click the top left hand side of my left hand side monitor to close the window. This is because with a 2 monitor set up, the "X" close button is located inconvinently in the middle of my two screens, forcing me to aim for the tiny small red rectangle, which is why I prefere to double click the top left corner; I don't have to aim.
    I have long been a loyal user of firefox. Browsers like Chrome and others have been out ranking firefox for a long time, mozilla is only playing catch up here...
    While I am glad for the update - better speed due to JaegerMonkey, the added hardware acceleration, the tab groups, and more, if the window menu problem is not resolved soon, this update is going to force me to switch browsers.
    I look forward to a fix, or response on how to resolve this issue.
    Many thanks,
    Still a firefox user... for now

    it's possible but there is likely no need to do this. what exactly is wrong with your computer? a simple reinstall of snow leopard on top of your current system will cure many ills and will preserve your data and applications. and many problems can be solved without reinstalling at all.
    but if you insist on doing a wipe and install boot from the SL install DVD and start disk utility from utilities menu at the top. erase your hard drive using the erase tab in disk utility. then quit disk utility and proceed with the install. and if you do reinstall I suggest you back up your data first. otherwise it will be completely wiped when you erase your hard drive. and you should always back up anyway.

  • My itunes library has everything by artist name, yet when i sync my ipod to it, some songs are only visible in the song menu but not the artist menu, how do i fix this problem so that evry song is visible under the artist menu in my ipod

    I bought an ipod classic and got it 2day. I have over 18000 songs on my itunes and all the songs have all the correct info. I tried syncing my ipod today and all of the songs have gone onto my ipod.
    However my problem is that quite a few songs are not in the artist menu and only in the songs menu on the ipod, even though evry bit of information for the song is correct.
    I would like all my songs under the artist menu on my ipod as searching through the song menu is ridiculously time consuming.
    Can anyone fix my problem?

    For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

  • Microsoft Office for Mac open recent File menu option causing AFP to crash

    Hi all,
    We have an Xserve running Mac OS X Server Leopard 10.5.8. The Xserve hosts three file shares for about 60 users. Our network is 99% Mac based running mostly 10.5.8 with a few 10.6.x. We have historically over the past several years had the AFP service become unreliable and crash frequently. Late last week the AFP service crashes constantly. The quick solution to getting it up and running is to delete the AFP.conf file in /etc.
    We have troubleshot one cause of AFP crashing to the Open Recent... File menu option in Microsoft Office for Mac applications. That is, through some amount (haven't been able to narrow it down to how much) of opening documents on the share via the Open Recent menu the AFP service will crash.
    Here's what's happening in the AppleFileServer .crash file:

    Our solution is to have all our users turn off the open recent option in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Not an ideal solution but it may get the AFP service running "good enough."
    Has anyone had an experience like this before or can anyone duplicate the AFP service crashing when trying to open documents on a share via the open recent menu? Any other ideas?
    Thanks

    Update.
    I have been able to consistently reproduce a problem where the AFP service will crash if a file that a user has an alias to is moved to a folder and the user is denied access to .
    1. On your Mac create an alias to a file or folder, that you have access to, that is stored on a share served via AFP. The alias can be in the Places section of a Finder window, on the Desktop, or anywhere an alias can be created. Lets call what the alias points to the target.
    2. Move the target to a folder on the AFP share and deny the user or group Read & Write access to that folder.
    3. Try accessing the target via the alias created in step 1.
    The AFP service should crash.
    Can anyone reproduce this crash scenario too?

  • Adding a new context menu option to KM

    I want to add a new menu option to KM that appears when a user clicks the context menu of an xmlform generated xml file.
    From reading the forums it appears I need to edit an existing UI Command Group, adding a newly created Command that points to a Java class containing a handler class that implements ICommand?
    -How do I know which command group to add my command to?
    -Can I make the new command appear only for xml files generated by xmlforms?
    Cheers,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    <b>-How do I know which command group to add my command to?</b>
    You have to know what layout set is used in the navigation iView. If you do not know this, you have can add your user to the Debugging Settings list (KM Configuration -> Content Management -> User Interface -> Debugging Settings) and click on the Rendering Information link in the iView.
    After that you can go to the Layout Set settings ((KM Configuration -> Content Management -> User Interface -> Settings -> Layout Set) and check the settings of the Resource Renderer in use. For example if use the AdminExplorer LayoutSet you'll have to take a look at AdminResourceRenderer configuration. There you can see the Command Group used for Resources (Resource Command Group).
    This is the group you have to edit.
    <b>-Can I make the new command appear only for xml files generated by xmlforms?</b>
    Unfortunately you can only use different groups for Resources, Folders and Links but not for different type of Resources.
    Hope this helps,
    Robert

  • Disable Refresh menu option on Page Title Bar

    Hi,
    We have a TLN node that opens an iview in a new window. Therefore nothing is displayed in the portal page. However the Page Title Bar menu still has all the options (Open in New Window, Refresh, Details etc.) and if a user selects Refresh, it throws a portal runtime error (iView not found: .default). How can I disable the menu options for this iview? I have tried setting the Show Refresh etc. parameters to No but it didn't work - I assume because the iview isn't being opened in the portal page.
    Many thanks
    Jane

    hi
    the iview you need to explore is page title bar i view in default framework page available in  portal standard user  directory in portal content.In this context i would like to suggest a solution why don,t you creat a default framework page just copy it in your folder  and open it and disable all checkboxes associated to page title bar and save after that go on to create a deskttop in portal display in system configuration and add your framework page and theme from themes in portal content and then add a rule to the main rule in super administrators  folder which will for role of the user will display onle that desktop.i have illustrated the concept of branding if you want to avoid codeing or command groups which is long approach.hope this helps youplease do not forget to give points
    with regards

  • The right-click "move to group" menu item has disappeared, how can I get it back?

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [/questions/813094?]</blockquote><br>
    This menu option has been there since I started using the beta. It disappeared during one of the beta revisions, but was back for RC1. In fact, I just used it the other day, but now it is not there. What is my problem?

    OK,
    I solved my own problem. For some reason, if I enable the menu bar, the option comes back, and when I disable it it seems to stay ..... for now. Bug maybe?
    Note,
    I even installed the Menu Editor 1.2.7 Addon (which showed the "Move to Group" option enabled, and that still did not solve the problem.

  • In ITUNES,  no podcast option under IPOD

    When I go into itunes,  on the left hand side,  under the DEVICES,  my ipod shows up,  but under that there is no podcast option. 
    I do have podcasts enabled on my ipod,  and I have downloaded podcasts from the web,  but when I do a SYNC,  it goes through step 1,  and then completes,  and no podcasts are downloaded to my ipod. 
    I do not have anything else such as music on my ipod. 
    What am I doing wrong ?

    Good thinking . . .
    I had selected from the menu options the options that said :-
    "Automatically include" episodes of "all podcasts" 
    but the tick box above it that said :-
    "Sync Podcasts"
    was unticked,
    Thank you.
