I don't like itunes...

I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for another media player. I used Winamp for a long time on my PC, but I don't like iTunes because it copies all my music, makes a double of it in the iTunes library, renames everything... it just makes it a little hard because my music ends up taking twice as much space. I don't just want to put it into iTunes folder, I have my own music folder. Any suggestions??

Teacher 24_70 is correct - I keep music and spoken word files in several locations and iTunes keeps track of them fine. Stuff in the iTunes folder (as elsewhere)is organised as I wish and stays that way.
The exception is when I forget to name a recording when importing it; in that case it turns up in the iTunes folder as "unknown album" and I have to manually move it to it's proper location, but's that my problem.

I don't like itunes 10 and so I'm using itunes 9. However, now my phone can't connect to itunes because it says it requires itunes 10.5 or later. Is there a workaround for this?

No.
If you don't want to update to the supported software you can't use the device.

Safari & C++ don't like iTunes U

Hey there,
while uploading files in iTunes U, Safari keeps crashing reporting a runtime error in the Visual C++ Runtime Library.
Switching to the newest Safari version didn't help, nor does using older installations. The browser will simply crash and shut down.
I have the following Visual C++ installations:
Help would be much appreciated .
Best regards,
Philipp

Instead of considering regressing, which is always difficult if not impossible in the Apple world, I suggest you tell us what feature(s) you don't like and we'll help you work around them with the current version.

I really don't like iTunes 10 for these reasons

think that the new iTunes 10 is really a step backward for several reasons which are as follows.
(1) If you want to view as album list you have to set each play list individually.
(2) When viewed in album list the artwork is too small and cannot be made bigger.
(3) There is no longer any colour to iTunes which makes it look dated.
(4) When using the show album artwork button in the bottom right corner the artwork is too big and hides to much of the playlist.
(5) When using view as album list all of the columns that i'm used to disappear and if I want them back I have to set them for each individual playlist and having over 4000 of them this is impossible.
After all said and done this iTunes is terrible a real step backward for Apple and I hope that you put back the functions that were on the previous iTunes. Make it easy for us as some of us have a lot of music to keep catalogued.

have never used applescript and to be honest don't know how to
It's part of the OS so it's just there to use and very simple.
In the case of the script above you copy it to the location it tells you to, run iTunes, select the playlists you want then run the script from the iTunes Script menu.
What are you trying to accomplish with a playlist for every album?
There's absolutely no need for a playlist for every album.
If you have more than ~20-30 playlists, you probably have too many.
If you are a DJ or have a specific need for more but 4000 playlists will simply bog down iTunes.
The playlist are part of the *iTunes library* file and *iTunes library.xml* file.
Anytime you do just about anything in iTunes, these files get rewritten. This includes playing, skipping or rating a song, editing any info, creating, deleting or updating a playlist, adding or deleting anything from the library, and oither actions.
These files get rewritten, not once per session, but _after every action_.

Can i install amazon prime app if I don't have itunes on my apple ipad mini

trying to install amazon prime app on my tablet but it keeps asking me for an itune account/password I don't have itunes is there any way to get past this so i can watch prime movies on my tablet with out itunes I really don't like itunes it is had to controll it trys to take over everything so I really don't want to install it unless I have too, thanks any help appericated, joy316

All iPads have the iTunes app permanently installed. Users cannot remove it. They can set up Restrictions in the Settings app and hide it, but it cannot be removed.
An iPad is a closed ecosystem. You cannot install anything on it without using the apps connected to an iTunes account; iTunes, App Store, iBooks, Podcasts and Newsstand.
I have no idea what you mean that iTunes takes over everything.

The new Podcast storefront in iTunes... i don't like it

I don't know if you guys have noticed, but the podcasts storefront for iTunes have change. There is no more animation section, there is no more staff pick or newest section. There are only highlights and featured podcast.
I'm pretty deceived by this. This will kill the smaller podcasts. Right now, almost 75% of the featured stuff out there comes from the big networks and corporates.
hmmm.... I don't like this...

You can send some feedback to Apple via this form:

I am unable to buy on itunes as I live in France and use an English credit card which is registeredwh to my French address. itunes UK don't like the French address, itunes France don't like the English credit card. Any ideas on how to buy?

I am unable to buy on itunes as I live in France but use an English credit card which is registered to my French address. itunes UK don't like the French address, itunes France don't like the English credit card. Any ideas on how to buy? (Without having to pay for a French credit card)

Go to a place in France and purchase an iTunes gift card. You should be able to use that in the French iTunes store if you have a French address associated with your iTunes account.

I don't like some features in the new iTunes and my favorite visualizer doesn't work with it . I threw everything to do with iTunes away and tried to install an earlier version but the installer kept giving us this error page telling us to quit iTunes !

The installer is crazy . It keeps thinking that iTunes is running even though we dumped everything we could find ( preferences , application , libraries ) . Did I miss something ? Is there an uninstaller? I need an earlier than 10.5 version . I don't like the side swipe ( it feels unbalanced ) effect and my favorite visualizer doesn't work right with it . Thanks!

No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

ITunes radio playing an alternate version (that I don't like) ...

Hi,
iTunes radio is playing an alternate version (that I don't like) of a song I do like and want to play on my station, should I press "never play this again" ??? I don't want to permantly exclude the original song, only this weird cover version that iTunes radio is offering. Anyone run into this?

I wanted to hear "I Can Be Your Friend" by VeggieTales (call me silly, I like happy songs like that. ) and iTunes Radio gave me a ska version. I actually liked it, but I did notice a difference....
I Can Be Your Friend - VeggieTales or Veggie Tunes (original)
I Can Be Your Friend - O.C. Supertones (ska version)
If you know the artist of this other version, then add the artist to the "never play" list. Though there can be some situation where covers will use an artist's name (example Edison Lighthouse's "Love Grows" has covers/alternatives but using the artist name of the original).
If the artist is different, add them to "never play" and see if that works, you can always undo it by clicking on the X next to the artist on the "never play" list.
Edit: I didn't even realize this is a "Mac iTunes" forum, I just saw this on the side. I'm a Windows user, but I'm guessing this will work on iTunes for Mac too.

ITunes 11 (there's one thing i don't like)

I like how the new iTunes looks (Version 11)
but there's no thing i don't like?
In the -Tv Shows-
i don't like when my Tv Show SEASONS/EPISODES are in ONE ALBUM,
i only like when the Tv Show Seasons are in there own Album. with there own Season art cover
That's the ONLY reason i don't like Version 11
so can you please tell them to make a New Update for the Tv Shows section?
its more better when they are in the Own Album using there Season Cover Art

Change the Show name to something different for each season, e.g. <Show>, Season <X>. Probably best to make the Album name match the show as well.

I don't like the new itunes, how do I go back to a previous version. I find the new version is not user friendly.

That sounds like the difference between the new Firefox home page '''about:home''' and the previous Google Search page which has '''GMail''' at the top if you used GMail.
You can change your home page so that it points to what you had before, which It would be something like:
* http://www.google.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
Note on Google pages
* They won't show GMail at the top until you have gone to GMail
Directions to '''reset your home page''':

More on Search and on Keyword Shortcuts
* [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/search.htm Search and Substitution Shortcuts especially for Firefox users]
* [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm Firefox Keyword Shortcuts]
But I don't really understand why you or anyone else would want to use such a page for a home page, it is redundant. You have as many search engines as you want in the search bar, the default search is Google.
You can invoke '''GMail''', any search, any bookmark, any bookmarklet with a [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm keyword shortcut] .
'''You're not stuck with how the toolbars have been changed''' in Firefox 4.0, '''this is Firefox''', you can '''customize''' it. That is why Firefox became so popular, you can customize it how you want it with Customize Toolbars, Extensions, Themes, Styles.
You can make '''Firefox 4.0.1''' look like '''Firefox 3.6.17''', see numbered items '''1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

My husband and I have the same Apple ID number so that we can both have access to an app we use. I don't like the fact that our calendar, notes and email is also shared. Is there a way to separate the things we want separate yet keep access to the cloud

My husband and I share the same Apple ID number because we both need access to an app that has a subscription and would be expensive for us to do separately. We don't like that this shared ID number means we also share our calendar, note pages, email, etc....Is there a way to separate the things we don't want to share?

That would be my suggestion. Just keep using the common one for purchases in the stores. Then each get another AppleID using a free gmail, AOL, hotmail, MS Live or whatever email account.
Delete your current iCloud account and login with the new AppleID, and logout of Messaging and then backin with the new AppleID. Now you have a shared iTunes/App store account, but completely separate, independent iCloud and iMessage accounts.
You can still share calendars if you wish to, even across separate accounts - http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2690

How can i erase only the music i don't like from my ipod ?

how can i erase only the music i don't like from my ipod ?

Go to iTunes and erase all the songs you don't want from your library or check the "Manually manage music and videos" box, erase all the songs from your iPod and only put the songs you want or check the "Sync only checked songs" box and check every single song in your library (Crtl+Click on a check box (if on PC)) and uncheck the ones you don't want.

HT5318 Ever since I updated what looked like iTunes 10.6.1 my computer has been corrupted with Malware, which has filled up all available space on my hard drive. What do I do to get rid of the Malware?

Ever since I updated what looked like iTunes 10.6.1 my computer has been corrupted with Malware, which has filled up all available space on my hard drive. What do I do to get rid of the Malware?

First, reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root.
First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

I downloaded the new 4.0..I don't like how everything is set up now. How do I get it back how it was set up on the page? Plus my cache doesn't work now.

I would like to know how to get it back how it was set up for bookmarks, history etc. I don't like how it is set up now.

If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
