How do I get albums to display as list view?

For the last several "Upgrades" I cannot get iTunes to display my albums in a "list View" only as pictures of the cover art.  I have gone into "Edit>Preferences>General" and checked "Show list views all media" with no result.  It seems they left me in the dust by making it "Better!"  Is there any way to make it display my albums as a list?

Hi,
Go to "songs" view and i think you will find what you are looking for.  This view looks a lot like the view i used in the previous version . 
If you select view -> view options (command-j) you will see all the familiar choices.  BTW - some options may be hidden (collapsed) so you may have to expand them by clicking on the arrow next to the category heading.  Hope this helps.
I've been looking for this answer since the new version came out. This is the article i found it in.

  • I cannot get iCalendar to display in List view on my computer since I downloaded Yosemite.  It works on my iPhone and iPad but not on my computer.  Any suggestions?

    Since downloading Yosemite, I can no longer view my calendar days in iCal in "List View".  I still have this view option available on my iOS devices.  Is there a setting on my computer to get "List View" back for iCal?  Or, is this feature no longer available on the computer?

    You mean you transferred the media, not the library...

    The library location is in your /Music/ oflder.
    Your media files (not yet in your new iTunes library ) is on the external drive.
    I have changed in advance preferences, but the library does not display.
    Because you have not yet added anything to your library.
    Quit iTunes.
    On the external, create a new folder named My iTunes library (or something).
    Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select My iTunes library on the external.
    Go into Windows Explorer and move all the media files on the external into /My iTunes Llibrary/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.

  • How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?

    To be absolutely honest, I don't really understand what this box is for, so I shall just use it to repeat and expand on my question. (I have already sent a "Feedback" comment on the same topic).
    How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?
    It seems to me that there is something very basic wrong with the way iTunes handles CD Tracks.
    Professionally produced CD tracks are seldom if ever in a randomised order. Why then does iTunes seem unable to display the tracks in the order they appear on the original CD source - whether from a personally owned CD or from a download from the iTunes Store?
    Some music demands a specific, non-alphabetic sequence in order to make sense. Why does it seem that iTunes only offers Alphabetic, or reverse alphabetic order - both of which make a nonsense of the original, often intended order of tracks?
    Why not replace the so-called "cover-art" in the bottom left hand corner if the iTunes window - which, while it may look attractive to some, gives the barest of information concerning the original disc, with a list of the original CD tracks in their original order, so that the user can easily reestablish the order in which they should be played.
    As I would expect legibility might be a problem with doing this, why could not the original contents, (in their original order), at least, be displayed when the "cover art" is double clicked-on - the result of which at present gives me an enlarged version of the "Cover Art". While on the subject of the contents of the source disc, what about all the album notes which someone takes trouble to write in order to increase the appreciation of the music on the CD and the listener's general background knowledge of the artists involved. Such notes, it seems to me, have considerable intrinsic value in their own account. I would, I think, normally be prepared to buy such "Sleeve notes" - so long as a "taster" was supplied (as it is for the music) - for something like the cost of a single 'Tune" on iTunes.
    These two aspects let Apple iTunes down enormously, in my opinion. I think that by chopping even quite protracted sequences of music up into bits does no one any favours - except perhaps Apple's already quite substantial bank balance. People have to be aware that two and a half, to three and a half minutes is a very short time to develop a piece of worthwhile music, and that there are many, many composers, not all of whom are alive today who have written music that huge masses of mankind value for the enrichment of their lives and the human condition in general.
    Please make the viewing of iTunes tracks in their correct order by default possible. By all means have the alphabetical variations available as offering a different approach to the music, but not the sole approach to it - PLEASE.
    Frustratedly yours

    PS I work at my old 24" iMac Intel Core 2 machine which runs OS "Tiger" - because it is more beautiful to look at, the screen is more pleasant to work on, and because, in some ways it is more capable (it will run FreeHand MX without needing a "patch"), than my more recent 21.5" which runs "Snow Leopard". (I don't find it that much slower, either).

    Dear Mike
    Thanks for the support. I am utterly amazed that after all the hype about how good iTunes is that it cannot play a downloaded CD in the correct order, and that what that order should be is not available directly from within one's own iTunes installation. (I know that one can go back to the iTunes Store to check what the order should be, but having downloaded the tracks surely iTunes is clever enough to retrieve this important information.
    My iTunes to differ from yours in that I have also noticed that it seems unable to download copies of my "talking books" in the correct order either. But in my case it downloads them - from a CD - in order, but with the first track downloaded first - so that it appears at the bottom of the column of tracks so that it would get played last! (At least this is, while being inexplicable, a relatively "logical" bit of blundering and because of this is relatively easy to put right!).
    I like many genres of music, some of which are not really programmed except perhaps by the artist performing them. I know that Frank Sinatra was very careful to programme his album songs to obtain a particular effect and in relation to the keys of the music. iTunes presumes to know better.
    Film scores may be totally randomly put together, in some cases, but in others the order is vital to one's appreciation of the music as a whole and how it relates to the plot of the film.
    In symphonic music most works are divided into sections and are conceived by the composer that way. Some individual sections may gain a life of their own if played separately, but they are never complete in the sense that the composer envisaged them without being placed in their proper context.
    Opera and probably most choral music too, is similar except that the words may well become meaningless if the order is changed at the whim of a piece of ill-written computer code, while ballet music has to be heard totally within its sequential context or it becomes meaningless.
    Finally, I would venture that iTunes, by jumbling up the order of the tracks as recorded on a CD, does an immense disservice, not only to the music on a particular CD, but to music in general, by expressing everything in terms of "Songs" - which it seems to interpret as stand-alone items of between 2 and 4 minutes whatever the genre. Even the way the iTunes publicity speaks of how many "songs" it can store instead of how many minutes or hours of recorded sound. This has to be another brick in the wall of "dumming-down" of people's expectations, and the shortening of their attention spans.
    I don't know about anyone else, but I feel betrayed by Apple over this. Perhaps the look, feel and general presentation of an item are not the most desirable features of a consumer product. Maybe it should be judged more on it fitness for the purpose for which it was sold. There is one other possibility - that Apple are trying to redefine "Music" - and that everything that lasts longer than about 3.5 minutes or is in the form of what could for want of a better term be called symphonic in the broadest sense is something else - not "Music" within Apple's new definition, at all!
    Well that's off my chest! now I can get down to creating some sort of order in my iTunes Libraries, knowing that I have to reconsult all the sources in order to confirm the source playing order.
    Anyway thanks again. At least I know that it is not just me

  • How can I get my desktop display to go to 1440*900?thanks[solved]

    I am using KDE 4,My problem is I can't set my graphics display to 1440*900
    In my searching
    I've found this on the Ubuntu forum, which seems to be my issue. It doesn't matter what I set up in xorg.conf file, it ignores it.
    It references a file called "kcmrandrrc", which doesn't seem to exist on my system. I am not sure where KDE is getting the 320x200, 320x240, 400x300,...,640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 graphics modes. It's not from xorg.conf.
    I found this file...
    "krandrrc"
    Which contains the following...
    [Screen_0]
    OutputsUnified=false
    UnifiedRect=0,0,0,0
    UnifiedRotation=1
    [Screen_0_Output_CRT1]
    Active=true

    What I was looking for was something along these lines:
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device "Card0"
    Monitor "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth 24
    Option "NvAGP" "3"
    Option "Overlay" "False"
    Option "ConnectToAcpid" "False"
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 1
    Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 4
    Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 8
    Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 15
    Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 16
    Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 24
    Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 32
    Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    EndSection
    Then you put in the 1400x900 that you wanted in the Modes line.
    If you are to use Xorg -configure successfully, you will need to do it from a console screen.  If you are using like kdm or gdm,  I would suggest that you log out, then go to a console screen (<ctrl><alt><f1>) and then log in to an account.  You will need to su, and then issue the following command to shut down x: telinit 3  that command should shut down X and your login manager.
    After that you can run Xorg -configure and do whatever else you need with it.
    Then, to get back to what you had before, the command telinit 5 should restore you back to your gdm or kdm or whatever.  (Normally <Ctrl><Alt><F7> will get you back to your login manager, if it doesn't try F6 or F8 until you find it.)

  • HT201335 How do I get airplay to display more networks?

    I'm in my corporate office and there are 30 or so airplay networks.  I need to connect to a network that is not in the default list that appears.  How do I get airplay to display more networks?

    It should display the closest ones. I would ask someone around your office what the name(SSID) of the WIFI network that is your company(some "hide" the network). Just press "other" and manually type it in with the password. The ipad will automatically connect to it from now on.
    Edit: Or just go for a nice stroll around the building until it pops on the list. The list updates every few seconds or so(wheel turns..) Exercise too

    I think I figured it out. I downloaded all the email in my wife's hotmail account(500) to the iphone and then deleted 350 of the emails on the iphone. then I set the iphone to look for the 200 most recent messages. When I did this the iphone updates all the new emails and the old ones that I deleted on the iphone are still in hotmail.

    The Get Info. fields show up gray if the files is locked and iTunes knows it can't edit the file. Make sure the files are not marked as read only and, if necessary grant both your account and system full access to all files and subfolders of your media folder.
    You can set Part of a Compilation for multiple tracks from the Options tab of Get Info.

    my phone displays my old ID. How can I get it to display my new ID?

    For those previous purchases, you can never change it.  App and iTunes store purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID used when you first made the purchase - there is no way to change that.
    If you went to https://appleid.apple.com and changed the primary email address you used for your AppleID, then the account itself was not changed, just the credentials.  If that is what you did, you need to log out of the store and log back in with the new email address you are using as your AppleID.
