How do I enable the Now Playing/Selected Item box on itunes 11?

I've looked everywhere I can think to look. Help please? I enjoy having that box.

Hi, I can't find it either and enjoyed it as well. I think it's another casualty with the iTunes 11 upgrade (or in my opinion downgrade). I miss cover flow. I miss being able to set the background to the dark gray color. I miss being able to browse through cover flow by date added. I'm going to attempt going back to 10.7 I think.

  • How can I see the "Now Playing" music screen in horizontal mode on my iPhone 6 plus?

    The iPhone 6 plus is too tall to stand up on my elliptical trainer but when I rotate it to horizontal mode, the music app's "Now Playing" screen turns into that song icon screen. Is there some way to make it show a horizontal version of the "Now Playing" screen?

    Go to the app store and search using the term YouTube. You should see a number of apps that will give you access to it.

  • How do you customizing the "Now Playing" view screen?

    I am an educated classical musician, so many of the tags people write on their music files seem stupid to me. For example, the term "artist" has many connotations, most of which people use incorrectly. Furthermore, "song" indicates music with lyrics and very few tracks on my iPod have lyrics. With this in mind, the "composer" tag has the most important information for me when I listen to music.
    Is there any way to replace the "artist" with "composer" on the Now Playing menu on my iPod?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Well, you need to remember a couple of things. One, these tags aren't an Apple or iTunes thing; they're a standard. Two, the tagging scheme you're proposing would be as useless to most of the people who use iTunes as the current one is to you.
    I'm going to make another work around suggestion that you can ingore. Have you considered putting the information you require in the lyrics tag? It won't help with sorting but you'd still have the info accessible on your iPod. After all, if the music you're listening to isn't "songs" (though you never did answer my question about Mendelssohn), then the lyrics tag is just going to waste. It's just a text field and you can put anything you want in it.
    And, if you want to give Apple your thoughts:

  • How do you display the now playing song title in miniplayer?

    I can't seem to change my preferences such that I can see the song titlle of the current song playing in my miniplayer.

    Song Title, artist and album is always shown on miniPlayer, unless you hover the mouse over it, or if it is selected (highlighted) rewind play or forward buttons. Try highlight Up Next or Serch button (if by pressing Tab or Shift+Tab you can higlight next or previous item, respectively).

  • How do I select which bluetooth speakers to play out of? My iPod connects to both kitchen and living room speakers. My old iPod had a selection icon on the now playing screen, but my new one doesn't.

    Hi,
    Our setup
    A new iPod Touch 5 with iOS 8.3.
    Living room speakers that use a Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter.
    Kitchen speakers that use an AmazonBasics Bluetooth 4.0 Audio Receiver.
    The iPod connects to both but always wants to play to the kitchen. To play in the living room, we have to unplug the power to the kitchen speakers. Bluetooth settings screen doesn't let you select between Bluetooth connections. All I seem to be able to do is forget the connection.
    We also have an old iPod Touch (not sure of the generation, but it has iOS 6.1.6). On that one, there is a little icon on the now playing screen that would open a little pull-down menu to let you select which Bluetooth connection to use for playing audio.
    I don't see the "select output" icon on the new now playing screen
    Jimmy
    PS the iPod seems very aggressive in connecting. I hear the living room speakers activate when my wife gets out of the car in the driveway. Then as she comes into the living room, the sound switches to the kitchen.

    Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
    From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
    In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
    Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

  • How Do I Get Siri To Show Me The "Now Playing" Screen?

    When I'm driving, it's great to be able to push the home button and get Siri to play a playlist or all songs from an artist.
    But how do I get her to show me the Now Playing screen? When you say "show me the 'now playing' screen," (or just about anything similar), she searches the Web. That's not what I want. What is the command to get Siri to switch to the iPod "Now Playing" so I don't have to manually tap through to that screen (and take eyes off the road)?  This should be simple, but I can't seem to figure it out.
    Thanks!

    You can let Apple know you want this feature.

  • Hover curser over song and there's no arrow for options to add the song to a playlist, the song has to be played for the arrow to appear, which is then at the now playing part in the middle at the top of the screen

    The little arrow which says "Play Next, Add to Up Next, Go to artist" etc. only appears at the top of the screen on the now playing part. On 11.2 on my laptop before it got refurbished, this arrow appeared when you hover the curser over the name of a song.
    Bit annoying having to change the song everytime I want to add it to a playist etc. Is there any way I can make this arrow appear again by just hovering over the song name?
    Thanks.

    If it happens again the make sure that you aren't suppressing website colors.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • I have a Verizon IPhone 4 and i can't figure out how to get my ringtones from an app to my iTunes account, it doesn't have a tab for Ringtones! I have tried unplugging it and checking if would show up but it didn't, how do you enable the ringtone folder?

    I have a verizon IPhone and i can't figure out how to get my ringtones from the app to iTunes, my account doesn't have a ringtone section in the liRingtone Folder?brary, how do you enable the ringtone folder?

    Edit > Preferences.  Select the check box for Ringtones, this will add them to the listing in iTunes. 
    Not sure that really answers your question though.

  • How do I enable the passbook app in ios 6.  Nothing happens when I click on it.

    how do I enable the passbook app in ios 6?  Nothing happens when I click on it.

    Yes, you do need an antivirus app for iOS. However, they don't currently exist because Apple refuses to make their 'proprietary' technical OS specifics freely available as open source code or to any Antivirus companies, who could examine and potentially identify security holes. Many security problems have been identified by Apple and fixed as part of iOS updates in the past (details are readily available in the iOS update information) and this will likely be a bigger problem in the future as malware authors move toward the technology leader as a target. But right now you can't get an antivirus app for iOS which scans the iOS device wholesale. This is despite the fact that (legitimate) apps are available which can take control of the entire device, install apps, wipe them or the device, view information, etc (for example Sophos Mobile Control). SMC can be installed by tapping an email link to a website and then tapping 'OK' to a couple of dialogues.

  • Creative Zen Sleek and the Now Playing-part of the firmw

    Hi,
    this week I got my Creative Zen Sleek. I'm very satisfied, except for one thing - the Now Playing-part of the firmware (the list with all the songs queued up). In the old Nomad Jukebox Zen firmware, the list was divided by artist or album name. On the Zen Sleek, however, the list is just going on without even showing which songs belonging to which album etc.
    This is really annoying me - would it be possible to fix this, or at least consider the possibility for this to be integrated in the next firmware upgrade?
    Sincerely
    Hein Haraldson Berg

    & Putting the X-Fi into Recovery Mode and selecting clean up seemed to fix the problem, but it does still come up randomly.
    The clean up puts the player menus back to their defaults though... any chance that in a future fix for the player, this wouldn't occur?

  • Removing the "Now Playing" sign when the click wheel is moved...

    Is there anyway to disable the "Now Playing" sign from appearing when the click wheel is moved?
    ... I like to use my ipod (20 gig 4G) as a watch when i'm walking home at night. I have the clock display setting on so that the time will be displayed on the top of the screen. My problem, however, is that when I move the wheel to turn on the light, the displayed message changes from the time (which I want to see) to the phrase "Now Playing" (which I have no use for).

    If you select the clock from the "Extras" menu, you'll get a large digital clock on the screen which will stay there until you remove it. This might be more fitting for the purpose you describe?

  • Problem with the "now playing"-function after timer sleep-mode

    At first: sorry for my english.
    I have the following problem with the Nano 6G: I set the timer of my iPod Nano to shut it down after a while of playing. When I turn it back on afterwards, the now-playing-button does not show the song that it played at last. Instead of that the nano is automatically set to shuffle mode which was not activated before and the now-playing-button will show any other song randomly.
    This does not happen when I switch it to sleep-mode with the button on the top, only when the sleepmode ist activated by the timer.
    Does anyone notice the same issue with his nano? How can I bring my nano to play the same song after the sleepmode, that it played before?

    Hey Ipaqman, that strange behavior of the Nano 6G annoys me for exactly the same reason: audiobook in bed + sleeptimer = losing the place. As You say, the 5G works better with that and I also hope that Apple takes notice of that issue and will solve it.
    Until that I got myself a "workaround". I create a new playlist on the device, with just the single audiobook in it, that is actually in use. This helps me finding back into it, as long as "now playing" will not work correctly with the sleeptimer.
