How can I make iTunes icons smaller?

Using my mini with a full-size monitor, when I open iTunes and try to look at my music library via "album," I get gigantic icons of albums. this takes up way too much room on the screen. Changing it is evidently done by a preference somewhere, but neither the system preferences (in Finder) nor the iTunes preferences seem to take up this matter. Thank you.

Hi, I've never found a way to do it, best I can do is use View>List instead of Grid or Coverflow.

- Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try syncing the iPod to your computer. Then delete from iTunes and sync. that should delete it from the iPod. Then redownload it.

How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?

How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?
I myself think that (for instance) "A tribe called Quest" should be sorted under "A", not "T".
Now I can edit the sort options manually per track and/or per selection, but I would really like to just kill this "iTunes-knows-how-you-should-sort"-feature in iTunes.
Anyone any suggestion on how to do that?
Thanks

Here is a modified version of one of Doug's Scripts. My modification was to add Sort Name to the list of tags that could be changed. I tried it on a single track and it worked. I recommend backing up your library first. Select the tracks you want to change (or all tracks) and run the script from the Applescript Editor. If it works as intended, save it so you can apply it to newly imported tracks. And, yes, I know this isn't the exact answer to your question, you want to change a preference setting in iTunes (if there is such a setting).
Original script can be forund at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=thistagthattag
Modified script is below. Start up Applescript Editor, paste it into a new window. Start up iTunes and select the tracks to modify. Click Run in the Applescript Editor. Follow the instructions.
(* Put This In That

How can I make itunes detect new music added to Music folder

How can I setup itunes to automatically detect new music added to my music folder? Under the advanced setting I currently have Itunes set to view my music folder where all my music is located. Im using Windows 7, Itunes Version 10.4.1.10. Currently I have to add new music manually and that's *****. I have over 2000 cd's that I need to rip. Please help. Thanks

If you are ripping CDs, you can rip with iTunes and the tracks will be added to your iTunes library without manual intervention.
But if you already have the files, or are using something other than iTunes to rip, you will note that iTunes does not automatically detect when new files have been placed in a folder. You can add this capability by using a 3rd party program such as iTunes Folder Watch.

How can I make iTunes accept an alias as a movies folder?

I love how iTunes organises my media files. But I need to keep my movie purchases on a different, external HD with USB 3.0.
Creating an alias of the folder "Movies" I've copied to the HD and moving the alias back on place into the user's local Library ends in disaster. All movies that have been in the folder before moving it to the new HD are still playable.
All newly purchased movies are downloaded out of the "Movies" folder at top level directory instead on the external HD. I can copy them to the external HD aliased "Movies" folder, but they won't appear in iTunes after dragging the files onto the iTunes window. I get an error message that says, the appopriate folder is missing. What can I do to make iTunes accept the aliased "Movies"-Folder as default for purchased movies?

iTunes is very good, and has been for years, at totally ignoring alises and symbolic links, particularly when another drive is involved. If you want to keep movies on a separate drive you will have to take a humbler approach and drag them to the external drive, then add them from there (hold down the option/alt key while adding to iTunes so iTunes doesn't copy them back to your main drive). Maybe some day in the distant future the programmers of iTunes will realize many users have to use external drives since the ones supplied with the computers these days are pretty small (my 12 year old computer has a bigger drive), and if Apple wants people to buy huge media files from the iTunes Store they need to factor this into design.

How can I make this a smaller file?

Hi,
I was wondering how I can make this movie smaller.
I don't understand why it is so big.
The sound is a .wav that comes in at 596 kb recorded at 22.5
khz in mono.
The rest must be the video. How can I get this smaller?
Thanks

How can I make an icon that links to a webpage that works with Mac and Windows??

Hi!
I burn CDs with my photos and send them to clients. Besides the photos folder, I would like to include a file (similar to the .webloc files on the Mac Desktop) that can be clicked and it will be linked to my website - it will open up a browser window and go to my website . Is it posssible to make one of these icons that works with both Macs and Windows machines? Thanks!

Now it works! Thanks, Denico!
The reason I saved to text: The first time I followed your instructions, it did not work. I tried to figure out what I did wrong and saw that you wrote to "save as plain text." I did not know what this means and there was no option available to save a plain text. So I looked around and saw "save as stationery" and I guessed that maybe that was what you meant. And after that, it worked! But the next thing you know, the icons started duplicating themselves.
I guess I had made a different mistake in the beginning and I fixed it without knowing what it is.
Thanks for clearing that up.
But just one question. WHY does saving as "stationery" make an icon duplicate itself?

How can I make iTunes authorize Audible files?

I downloaded an audio book from Audible.com to my desktop computer at home. Now I am traveling, using my wife's MBP, and have my iTunes library with me on an external drive. iTunes is pointed at that library and open. I am trying to sync my iPod Touch and in the books seciton, I have specified the audio books to be copied onot my iPod, but I get the message that “some of the Audible files were not authorized to be used on this computer.” How can I overcome this?

How can I make iTunes de-authorize my Mac after erasing it's hard drive?

How can I de-authorize a Mac Mini in iTunes AFTER I have already erased the hard drive?

You can deauthorize all then reauthorize it.
Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
