How do you clear the current song info from the top display window?

When you first start iTunes and select Music, the display window at the top just has an Apple logo in it. Once you start playing a song, the song info shows up there. I can stop the song using Command-period (or the space bar), but the info stays there. Is there a keyboard shortcut or something simple to return the window to just the Apple logo? I cleared it inadvertently when I selected Radio, but I don't know if that will always work and I'm guessing there's a formal way to do it. (Selecting Radio while a tune is playing won't clear the info, of course.)

    Hey Paul,
    If I understand correctly, it sounds like iTunes is not grouping the songs from a particular CD together. The cause could be something as minor as a misspelling or slight variations. For more information, see the following resource:
    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

  • How Do I Get An Uploaded Song Removed From The iTunes Store That I Own?

    I own a production company and I own a song that has been uploaded to iTunes Store for sale.  I am having problems with the people that I have trusted in properly administering the publishing aspects of the song. How do i get the song removed from the iTunes Store so i can get it re-released under another publishing group who have shown they can properly administer the publishing/copyrighting/monetary aspects of my song?

      ps I used to be able to create my own "Ringtones" via iTunes and songs I had in iTunes, but they took that away I guess.
    No they didn't. You can still create your own ringtone using computer iTunes.
    Here are the steps:
    Select a title (.mp3 or .m4a) in your iTunes Library
    2. Do File > Get Info on selected title (Windows do Edit > Get Info)
    3. In the dialog choose Options tab
    4. Set Start Time and End Time (no more than 35 secs otherwise won't work)
    5. Close dialog.
    6. Now control click the title (right click) and choose Create AAC Version
    7. When it is done, drag the newly create title to the desktop.
    8. Delete the newly create title in iTunes.
    9. Rename the title on your desktop from ringtone.m4a to ringtone.m4r
    10. Drag and drop it into iTunes
    Now you have a ringtone.
    Make sure it is selected in iTunes's Tones tab for syncing with your iPhone.

  • How do I stop iTunes from automatically "correcting" song info from the iTunes Store?

    I frequently rename songs that I download from the iTunes Store for various reasons. For example, when I bought Pet Shop Boys' album Electric on CD, I changed the album name of the pre-release single "Vocal" from "Vocal - Single" to "Electric", and also changed the track numbers to reflect its position on the album. The track grouped with the other tracks that I had copied from the CD, and everything seemed fine.
    However, at random times, I have found that iTunes will attempt to "correct" my changes, leading to some very bizarre circumstances. With Electric, after having the album appear correctly for over two months, it suddenly messed up. The album was still labelled as "Electric", but it appeared in alphabetical order under V, as if all of the tracks had "Vocal - Single" in the album field. It also changed Vocal to track 1, which would be correct for the single, but not for the album. I changed everything back, and while it was fixed on iTunes, the problem persisted on my iPhone - this time, creating two duplicate albums both organized under "Vocal - Single", with an interface that looked like the artist view rather than the album view. I had to delete the album completely from my iPhone and re-sync it to make the changes carry over. This has happened before with other albums where I combine iTunes Store tracks with tracks ripped from CD.
    This has also occurred when I've tried to compile multiple albums, this time entirely bought from the iTunes Store, into one album. To use another Pet Shop Boys example, there were three EP-style singles released on iTunes in support of the album Elysium. Rather than having two or three tracks each labelled as "Winner - EP", "Leaving - EP", and "Memory of the Future - EP", I reorganized them into one album called "Elysium: B-sides", and set each EP as "discs" 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Again, this worked for several months, and then, at the same time as when Electric messed up, iTunes renamed all of the tracks as "Winner - EP" and changed all of my track listings to match the original EPs they had come from. As I clicked "Get Info" on each track in iTunes however, the information snapped back to what I had input, but it was still slightly corrupted and had to be redone in order to get it back in the correct alphabetical and chronological order in my library. Even after I changed everything back, it wouldn't return to correct alphabetical order on my iPhone until I added "Elysium: B-sides" to the "Sort Album" field.
    This is not a new issue. I've had the same problem with other iTunes Store downloads under earlier versions of iTunes, OSX, and iOS. The "corrections" always seem to occur randomly. Is this automatic renaming a "feature"? And if so, how do I turn it off so I can organize the music that I've bought the way I want to?

    Hi Mhwal.  I think this may help you.
    Here's a test for you to try.
    Make sure your iTunes library is updated with your edited album names; 
    Find a song on your iPhone where the album name is incorrect; 
    Delete the song from your iPhone; 
    On your iPhone go to "Settings>iTunes & App Store" and tap your Apple ID (highlighted in blue). 
    Tap "Sign Out"; 
    Go back to your iTunes library and select the song/album that you want back on your iPhone; 
    The iPhone should now show your edited album tag; 
    Once your done you can sign back to "Settings>iTunes & App Store" and sign back in.  Your edits will hold.
    In addition, this also works with artist pictures.  I did not like the stock images iTunes associated with my artists - I wanted album art instead.  After you sign out of your Apple ID, when you move a song/album from your iTunes library to your iPhone the FIRST album you move over will be associated with that artist.
    For example, I have seven AC/DC albums but I want the cover of "Back in Black" to be associated with AC/DC on my iPhone's artist listing.  After I've signed out of my Apple ID, I transfer "Back in Black" to my iPhone and then the other six albums in any order.  "Back in Black" will be the album picture associated with AC/DC on the artist page.
    Just remember, after your changes you can sign back into iTunes through "Settings>iTunes & App Store" and your changes to edited albums and artist cover art should hold.
    I hope this helps!

  • How can I delete my credit card info from the apps store?

    Ever since I put my credit card info into the system it won't let me download anything even if it's free. It keeps saying to verify card info and when I do it ask for the card security number but when I put it in then it says it's not right. I don't know what else to do besides delete the card info but I'm not sure how to do that. I have been downloading free stuff with no problem until last Sunday I put my card info in to buy something and it let me make my purchase with no problem and now I'm trying to download free stuff and it keeps wanting me to verify my credit card info and telling me it's wrong info. Please can someone help me out?

    I don't mind having my card info on there but now I can't download anything and it's frustrating. All it ask for is the card security number and when I put it in it says it's invalid. So now while I'm trying to delete it, it just won't let me. The visa part stays checked all the time and I can't unmarked it. I tried to just erase the card number and security code and stuff but it says I have to have it filled in. Do you know how I can check to see if it says I owe money?

    Pointing, clicking, and getting around
    When you move your mouse or finger on a trackpad, you control a pointer (also known as a cursor) that moves across your screen. The pointer allows you to select and interact with the various items on your screen, including selecting files, clicking buttons, dragging sliders, and so on. Sometimes the pointer may look like a hand, a crosshair, an I-beam, or another icon, depending on what you're doing and the application you're using.
    For example, if you're using Safari to view this webpage and move the pointer across it, notice that it turns into an I-beam when you move it over text or a text field. When you see this, you can usually interact with the text or field below it. When you move the pointer over a button or link, the pointer turns into a hand, letting you know that you can click on the item.
    Depending on what you're doing and what application you're using, your pointer (far left) may change appearances
    Clicking your mouse button or trackpad button once allows you to select the item that your pointer is on. In other words, if your pointer is on a file's icon, clicking once will select it. If the pointer is on a button or link, clicking once will activate it. If your pointer is on a text field, clicking once highlights the field and allows you to start typing text in it.
    If you want to open a file, folder, or application, click your mouse button or trackpad twice. This is known as double-clicking. In general, you'll need to double-click items if you want to open them from a Finder window or the desktop. The exception to this is opening stuff from the Dock—just click once on an icon in the Dock to open it.

  • How can you retieve a list of classes from the Library

    Is it possible to retrieve a list of the Linkage or Export
    Classes from a swf library dynamically?
    I am building an application where I allow the user to load
    an asset swf at runtime, then they can choose to load any Exported
    class from the library of the swf. Currently it works if you know
    the name of the asset, that you want to load, but I would like to
    be able to bring up a chooser list of the assets, rather than
    having to type the Class names.
    So far I have only seen examples where "if you know the class
    name you can load it", but nothing concerning pulling the list.
    There must be a list somewhere in flash, I just want to tap into
    that.

    I saw this before and did not have a chance to go through it
    completely.
    As I was reading it, though it did not seem to be giving me
    the answer, as they seem to extend the Export clips in the library
    by extending the class.
    I'll run through that and see.
    It does give me another idea though.
    (crazy) Idea:
    What if I extend the loader class and add a method, kind of
    like what they are doing on the document class of the loaded swf,
    to pull the class names. They hard code in the class names into the
    array though.... so that is the crux of the issue.
    Somehow I think this concept is doomed to fail but, I will
    also see if that is possible.
    I suppose for the application, I could require that any user
    would use a swf with a document class that has the getAssets()
    method.... also has some problems .... namely dealing with the
    issue of "what if they do not extend" and having it fail
    gracefully.
    oh well, food for thought... I will leave this open for now
    and perhaps I will post some answer.

  • How do you configure a client to update from the server

    I found the information on how to point clients to a software update server but the problem I have is the URL.
    The example is http://su.example.com:8088/index.sucatalog
    I don't have a URL as far as I know and if I did, is the default port 8088 or where can I change or check that?
    And where is a list of the catalog file for the specific versions of OS X?
    Basically I have 8 Macs all running Yosemite except for one running 10.8.5. Instead of all the machines hitting the internet for updates, I'd like just my server to down the updates and then all clients update from the server.
    If there is better instructions on how to do this, please point the way.
    TIA
    Chris

    This does mean you need to buy a DNS load balancer to do this. The Mac itself cannot.
    FWIW, OS X Server is capable of performing round-robin access with the inbound traffic using multiple IP addresses for a single host name.  The addresses are each of the software update servers in your server pool.
    This'll toss errors for some translations when one of the servers is down — you can tweak the definition if one of the servers is going to be offline for a while — but some of the updates will get through.
    Set the DNS TTL fairly short — probably somewhere between a few minutes and an hour — to allow the DNS translations to be changed fairly quickly, if your software update servers are prone to outages.

  • How can you convert a large video file from the photo cache  of an iphone3g to a playable file on a pc?

    how does one transfer a large ( 1gb) video file from an iphone3g photo cache to a pc in a playable format?

    The same way you would import any photo/video from a digital camera. Connect the iPhone to the computer and import the file. Then it can be played with Quicktime or any software that supports that file format.
