HT4539 I can't find preferences in iTunes?  How stupid am I?

I have (I believe) downloaded all updated software requirements to enable auto sync between my devices through iCloud.  However, when I go to enable iTunes I cannot access Preferences to do this?  I cannot see anywhere to click on Preferences in my iTunes view.  Any help would be appreciated.

On a Mac you can open iTunes' preferences via command-comma (or the iTunes drop-down menu at the top of iTunes) - automatic downloads is then on the Store tab on that. On your iOS devices it's in Settings > iTunes & App Stores (Settings > Store if they aren't on iOS 6_

  • How do I find Preferences on Itunes?

    I am trying to Convert MP3 or M4a from Itunes to planning Center.  The directions I have say to go to preeences but I can't find preferences on the most recent Itunes.  Please help!

    The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
    In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
    ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
    CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar - allowing you to access Edit > Preferences
    CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
    CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
    With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
    View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views

    Is your "home computer" the same as your laptop or are these two different machines?

  • Can't find devices on iTunes

    Can't find devices on iTunes libraries, after turning on home sharing ?

    Home Sharing only allows you to share your iTunes library from computer-to-computer or from computer-to-iOS devices not from iOS device-to-computer.

    I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back? He hasn't got his laptop anymore so the only music he has was on his ipod.

    Hasn't he got a backup of his content on external drives and/or CDs or DVDs ?

    Hi, try this...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Reboot.

    Hello levon10
    Just delete the song and then go through the process of downloading the purchase again.

    Hey rangermikegsm,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re concerned because you don’t see your rentals in iTunes, but they appear to have downloaded. Take a look at the article below and check the Rentals tab in iTunes on your MacBook.
    About renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Find movies you rented previously
    Find your movie on the device you used to rent it.
    On a Mac or PC: Go to the Rentals tab in the Movies section of the iTunes Library.
    On an iOS device: Go to the Rental tab of the Videos app.
    Using Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation): Look in the top shelf of the main menu.
    Ciao,

  • I am using Garageband and saving my tunes as iTunes files but can´t find them in iTunes on my computer after syncing. Where are they?

    I am using Garageband and saving my tunes as iTunes files but can´t find them in iTunes on my computer after syncing. Where are they?

    My answer in the older thread is still valid
    Maybe the "iTunes Music" folder is hidden.
    Please open Terminal and issue the following command
    ls -ladO /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music
    you should get a line similar to this
    drwxrwxrwx  13 yourusername  staff  hidden 442 12 Mar 21:49 /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
    Numbers, date and time may differ.
    If you see hidden then the folder is hidden. To unhide "iTunes Music", in Terminal issue the following command
    chflags nohidden /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music

  • How to download podcast can't find in the iTunes Store?

    I understand that I can just use the instruction below to subscribe using the URL of those podcast that I can't find in the store, but once I sync it with my touch, I would like to use the "find more episode" options to get the new feeds. Of course it won't find it in iTunes. Anybody know a way to set up so that I don't have to connect the touch to the computer every time I try to get a new episode? Thanks!
    Below is the instruction given to how to subscribe using URL in iTunes, but no in touch:
    If while surfing the web, you ever come across a podcast that you can’t find in the iTunes Store, here’s an easy way to subscribe to it anyway. From the Advanced menu, choose “Subscribe to Podcast...” and enter the podcast feed URL. iTunes will subscribe you to the podcasts and begin downloading immediately.

    Hhhmmm! That's an interesting question.
    I have subscribed to Podcasts using *Advanced/Subscribe to Podcast* in the past, but since I can't remember which ones they were, I can't test this properly, but I understand what you mean. What happens when you do click *Get More Episodes,* presumably the Touch goes to the Store, but where exactly? Is it a page that has info about that Podcast or a general Podcasts page, or do you get a message?
    I think what happens when you click *Get More Episodes* is that the Touch looks in the Store, not the Podcast feed and therefore doesn't find any new episodes because the Store doesn't list that Podcast. (The feed is where the episodes are located and downloaded from and it will not be an Apple server.) However, I could be wrong. iTunes might be looking, but doesn't find anything because there is nothing to find! Don't forget, every Podcast will have the *Get More Episodes* link on your Touch, but that doesn't mean there are any episodes to get.
    So without a thorough test of this, I can't be certain whether the issue is that the Touch can't find the feed or "there are no new episodes to find".
    Perhaps you need to send some feedback to Apple suggesting this as a new feature (enhancement request). Feedback for the Touch is http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html.
    I'm not convinced that they will think this is necessary, because the idea is that the Podcasts are automatically downloaded into your iTunes Library because you have subscribed to the Podcast, so there would be no need to look for them directly from your Touch. Then, a periodic Sync of your Touch (which is a good idea anyway) would mean that it's not that likely that there would be any new episodes to get. But send feedback anyway, because it's not for me to decide.
    In the short term, I think you're only option is to allow iTunes to find the new episodes and use the Sync feature to get them onto your Touch.
