HT1589 Why is there no option within iTunes to change libraries?

It would be such an amazing simple feature to have! 
It's frustrating to have to close iTunes and re-open it remembering to hold the Option button - so much to do something that could so easily be menu-driven!

The Mozilla developers usually leave such advanced settings to extensions developers.

  • HT2534 why is there no option of "none" when signing up in iTunes for the billing part

    why is there no option as "none" for the billing account in iphone5?

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
    Regards.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question.

  • Why is there no option to "hide sensitive notifications" on my phone?

    Why is there no option to "hide sensitive notifications" on my phone? (LG G3) I just updated to Lollipop, and it now it shows all my emails and texts on the lock screen which is not cool. When I tried to search for a fix, I found that you need to choose "hide sensitive notifications" under the "Sound and Notification" settings, but that option is nowhere to be found. Help!

    I have figured it out. It's really dumb. So you need to set the locking mechanism (pattern, code, whatever). Then go to Settings>Sound and Notification>Lock Screen> Show All Notifications. Then when you go to Settings>Sound and Notification>Apps and pick something like "messages", the "sensitive" option appears.
    So essentially if you choose the "Hide Sensitive Only" it seems to think that all are sensitive and you can't pick and choose. But if you "Show All", it will let you decide what is sensitive. Very complicated.

  • Why is there no option for the voice over feature to be available for iBooks only?

    Why is there no option for the voice over feature to be available for iBooks only?

    Hello,
    We are aware if the 'black box' issue with the shim installer (downloaded from get.adobe.com/flashplayer), however, this should not be the case with the full installer.  The links for the full installers are posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section.

  • Why is there no option to play podcasts in itunes on iOS 7?

    I used to download and play podcasts on my iPhone. Since updating to iOS 7, there no longer seems to be a tab or option for podcasts.  Is there a way to get this back? 

    Ok, nevermind. Just downloaded the one from Apple.  No idea why they would delete this from iTunes in the first place.  Grrr.  Then again, I also wish they would not have changed the Radio function on iTunes to go from streaming actual radio stations to making it like a Pandora. I used to love listening to my favorite radio stations via iTunes.

  • Why is there an option for Notes Syncing?

    Hello,
    Looking to clear something up about Note Syncing. Why is this an option? When I make notes in Mail.app they live online in my inbox or other online subfolder and I can get at them from any of my other Macs that have Mail.app set to check that account.
    What am I missing here? Is the Notes sync item in mobile me syncing preferences for syncing offline notes, ones that you put in an "on my mac" folder? Why wouldn't you just put these notes up in the cloud like I do...it seems like there is no upside to this note-syncing ability.
    I have looked around for an official textual description of what Notes syncing is for but I can't find one. It seems to solve a problem that doesn't really exist. Can someone straighten me out, maybe there is a good reason why I should actually be syncing notes?
    Thanks!
    Ryan Hanson

    Yeah, I did find a lot of people posting that they wished for this feature for iPhone and it has been promised in the past. I do not have an iPhone, so the questions would be if you put a note in your inbox, how does the iPhone currently treat it when you check your mail? It would still seem that sync is unnecessary 'cuz the note still lives in the cloud. Ha ha I guess the bottom line is that I am not really trying to solve a problem, with or without Notes Syncing tuned on I can get to my Mail notes anywhere that I have Mail.app setup...but I was just wondering if I was missing out on something, you know, conceptually...

  • Why is there no option to check for app updates in the latest version of ITunes?

    I downloaded the latest version of ITunes but Apple took away the button to check for app updates. Why?

    Thanks. I just figured it out. Siri was not enabled. As soon as Siri was back on, the mike reappeared. But thanks for your help.

  • HT201210 Update to iOS 7.0.4 failed - why is there no option to restore to backup?

    *** apple!? An unknown error during the update wiped my phone to Recovery mode and is only giving me the option to restore to factory settings.Why cant I restore to my last backup? What happened to all of my data?

    Have you checked on your PC for locally created backups? I also remember that iTunes has the bad habit of overwriting backups from time to time, so maybe check
    Windows XP
    \Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows 7
    \Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista
    \Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Mac OS X
    /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Maybe if you find a backup containing all of the apps you could at least get the data. Best.
    In the iTunes app go to Preferences/Devices and check how many different backups are there and the dates. Perhaps you missed being offered which backup to use to restore your iPhone.
    See if this post helps you https://discussions.apple.com/message/22379597#22379597
    So if you have the latest backup you can do a clean restore and then retrieve data from back up

  • Why is there no option to change UI to allow classic type button control? New control is too spread out and fundamentially useless.

    Why was this ever changed? Why was it changed without asking/polling? Why is it so spread out? Why would it be purposely made, to make it difficult to browse the web? Why would you sabotage your own product?! I am NOT the only person out here asking these same questions! I am NOT a conformist, I do NOT like having something taken from a product I use, I do NOT like not having the option to have it as it was, I do NOT like to search for the basic buttons of navigating, I do NOT like having to move my mouse from one end of the screen to the other, just to stop a page quickly [which cannot happen as it is too darn far away now!!!!] This has been driving me absolutely bat-shit for quiet a while now! There was "add-ons" to restore BASIC FUNCTION to a "ADVANCED" browser!!!! Sometimes upgrades are really downgrades.
    QUESTION OF THE DECADE: "Where did my buttons go, and WHY DID YOU TAKE THEM?!"
    For aesthetics? Screw that, give me FUNCTIONALITY!

  • Why is there no option to change snooze in apple clock devices?

    Why doesn't apple provide an option to change the snooze time on their devices?? I find this really stupid, it's one of the most obivious thing to add in an alarm clock. Yet that option isn't there! Why??!! Isn't iPhone meant to be the smartest phone in the world?? I'm starting to doubt that. Common apple!! Add an option to change snooze!!!!

    I kind of had a feeling Apple wouldn't really have a direct line to themselves. They'd probably get too bombarded with questions. But I'd really love to know why they didn't add this option?? Why is it stuck at 9 mins snooze? And why 9 mins, what the ****?? That's a very odd snooze time. And would it be likely that they would add it in the near future? I don't like using 3rd party apps. They don't always work and they have to be running if you want the alarm to work.

  • No tv show option within itunes store

    When I open itunes store, there is the option to watch entertain ment: Movies, Music, Podcasts.
    However, there is NO option at all to open TV SHOWS of any kind.
    Therefore, I cannot download any new tv shows.

    You probably only downloaded the hd version. The iPod classic only plays sd. Go to your purchases in the iTunes Store and download the ad version. It should work fine.

  • Search option within iTunes

    After searching for a song/band/etc. in the upper right hand corner of iTunes and then 'x'ing out of the search to show the entire library, why does the library automatically go back to the first song?? The library should stay at the song or artist that was selected to play rather than go back to the beginning. Any suggestions? Is there any way to fix that or am I just going to have to deal with this annoying feature?

    you must have allot of songs which is one of the reasons, i don't know why its that way now,,, it wasn't like that before, apple must have removed it or something.

  • Why is there a problem with Itunes freezing up at least 1-2 times when using it?

    It is kind of getting old but my Itunes player (does not matter which one as I update to the latest version) has this nasty habit of freezing whether I am trying to listen to the radio or my own library.
    It is now happening almost every time I use Itunes and when it freezes the only fix is to do the old Control-Alt-Delete.
    I am running a 64 bit Window's 7 home premium and prefer using Itunes but you know if you does not work get something else
    I have 4 GBs Ram with a 2.6 Dual Core Pentium
    More frustrating is the lack of support from Apple. Oh wait Itunes is for free so you do not get help.
    Even better is a troubleshooting aid that when you click NO it did not help then the window itself just disappears
    Yes I checked and it is a system problem but it is a problem that has existed since Itunes put out their 10 series.
    Given the number of times this question is being asked by others then is it too much to think that Apple realizes that they have a problem application and it is not the fault of the user or Microsoft OS.
    No offense Apple but I know if 10% have a problem that it does not matter to you but why should I spend money on any of your products if you can not come out with a fix for your own medial player?

  • I cannot update iTunes. In instructions for updating it says to go to help and then click check for updates. Guess what! No help options within iTunes. I need to be able to syn my iPod touch 5 but I cant without the newest iTunes. I am sick of this crap.

    I am EXTREMELY tired of having to deal with this. iTunes has been an issue since I got it and unfortunately whenever I want to update my computer's iTunes account it demands I download a new format (which has continually gotten worse and WORSE over time). I wish things would not be updated so frequently. As soon as I have the new format working decently (ONLY decently, I have never had an apple product that has worked as it is stated it should) another update comes along. And THIS time, I cannot download it. First problem: I open iTunes. It says I need to update for my ipod to work. I think "great. I click ok and it will do it automatically!" Oh boy was I wrong. I don't do anything. I search up how to update things. It says ON THIS SITE: Go to help in the itunes store. THERE. IS. NO. CLEARLY. VISIBLE. HELP. SECTION. I have looked for FAR to long for this to be worth my time.

    Okay - let's cut to the chase...
    If the Menu Bar (File, Edit... Help) shown in my screenshot below is not visible, use CTRL+B to display it. Then click on Help/Check for Updates. If one is available, you will be able to select it at this time.
    Note the item at the bottom of the list; About iTunes. Selecting that will show you which version of iTunes you are using.
    An alternative method to display the Menu Bar is click on the box in the top left of your iTunes window...
