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_.

  • 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.

  • Its not a question, but i just hope someone from apple can read this, i just wish you can make a card just like itunes card, for ipad wi-fi card. would be convenience.

    That's why he gave you the link to make the suggestion.
    But returning to your proposal ... Apple does not sell any of the "wifi" connections. It would be up to providers of service to sell giftcards, and perhaps Boingo or some of other airport-commercial WiFi firms do. I can't think of any other place I've been asked to pay for WiFi.
    Now Verizon and AT&T, as well as other providers in other countries, could sell Gift Cards... and again, perhaps they do, but you'll have to check with them or make the suggestions there. It's really not an Apple issue, as they don't sell or provide any connections, just the hardware to make them.

  • HT4623 one day before,i update my iphone5 system,but i really don't like the operation,i want change back to ios6.1.4,what can i do?

    one day before,i update my iphone5 system,but i really don't like the operation,i want change back to ios6.1.4,what can i do?

    OK, I downloaded the utility, but during the installation process I was advised to shut down Outlook, or restart it after installation. I immediately cancelled the installation. Obviously, this thing is going to muck about with Outlook. I don't want anything to be touching or looking at any of my installed program unless I tell it too AFTER I fully understand what it is doing and how to reverse the whole process in case it gets mucked up.
    I looked for a manual or some sort of documentation on the configuration utility, but there does not seem to be any.
    Anyone have a link to program documentation for
    iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6.2  for Windows?
    I find it incredilble that there does not seem to be a stand alone, plug the usb cable in, and make a back up (system image) of an iPhone. After all, the thing seems to be hand held computer. Why not have a simple back up utility? Even the newer phones only have, what, a few GB. Lots of images would fit on an outboard TB disk.
    Then if every thing gets FUBAR, simply restore the phone the the last working image.
    Does no one keep controled squential backups of iPhones and iPads like you should do with any other computer, workstation or laptop that is a serious business tool?
    iTunes for back-up. Does and business seriously do that?
    iCloud? I'd be fired if the boss caught me putting client contact information on 'the cloud' or anything outside my secured hard drives. (Unless we have a specific paid contract for services).
    My company does not even allow wifi in the office. Security begins with a hard wired connection.
    sigh....

  • I just updated to ios 7.0. I really don't like it! How can I go back to the old iphone software?

    Hello! So I updated my iphone 4s software a few days ago to the ios 7.0. I really don't like it! The calendar is the worst part of it! I used to love the calendar, notes and clock/timer app on my iphone! Now I hate the new layouts and how they work! Is there any way to go back to the older software on my iphone?

    I was in the same situation. Today I went to my wireless carrier's store and upgraded my hardware to iPhone5. It comes with iOS 6.1.4.
    I had backed up my 4S before foolishly installing iOS7, so I was able to recover all the apps, most settings, etc., as usual, in iTunes.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Can we go back to previous operating system? We really don't like iOS 7.0.3

    You cannot go back.

    You don't.

  • Is there a way I can go back to the iOS 6.0.1? I really don't like the iOS 7

    I really don't like the iOS 7. I want to downgrade a software.

    Downgrading is not supported, as has been said over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

  • When I sync my photos to iPhoto from my iPhone 4S it like saves about 200 on my phone. I really don't like that because they're like really old and stay the same... Can you take that setting off? Or just make it you most recent pictures instead?

    it had to do with Maverick/Aperture not supporting the same date formats as before in Smart Albums when I upgraded.
    Smart albums based on dates have always been problematic, if you use smart settings that require a date string to be entered. How the date string will be interpreted, will depend on your settings in the System Preferences > Language&Text > Advanced > Dates formats and the "Region".
    It is much safer to use "Calendar" rules in Aperture instead of "Date" rules with date-strings. Calendar rules will remain valid, if the region settings are changed in the System preferences.

    in response to Johannes666
    Recommended
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • MG3250 Printer throws up error message - Scangear cannot communicate with scanner for these reasons

    Hi
    I have an MG 3250 printer running off an HP Pavilion Laptop using Windows 8.1. Every time I try to scan  I get an error message that 'cannot  communicate with scanner for these reasons...........etc'. The only way I can get the printer / scanner to work is by going through the Control Panel / Hardware & Printers route. This seems terribly slow and time consuming. What is wrong and what needs to be done to correct the problem?
    Thanks

    I have the exact same problem as you with my new Canon LiDE 120. The errors I get are: 2, 156, 182, 55 and sometimes 77 when using it on my Windows 8.1 (64 Bit) desktop PC. I have tried installing and uninstalling the drivers multiple times, used different ports and still nothing. It does however work properly on a Windows 7 device.
    My PC's specification is as follows:
    Windows 8.1 (64 Bit) - With latest updates
    Avast Premier
    Malwarebytes
    ASUS z87 Pro
    Intel 4770k
    ASUS GTX 670 (4GB)
    8GB 1600MHz Kingston RAM
    Things I have done
    Tried different ports (USB 2.0 and 3.0)
    Installed all software & driver from CD
    Installed all software & driver from Canon Website
    Installed only the latest driver from Canon Website (April 2015)
    Tried to use Windows Fax & Scan, Scan, IJ Scan Utility, Scangear and Vuescan.
    What happens
    The physical buttons on the device are unresponsive
    The computer says it is warming up, but nothing happens
    It starts to scan for a few seconds and then comes to an abrupt end - this can happen at 10% of the scan or even at 91%.
    Surely the problem cannot be with Windows 8.1 since the device was only released last year. What could be the issue? I called their support line and was advised to clear the drivers of previous scanners used by my system, I did this and there still is no change. Could somebody please help me! 

  • I really don't like the new version of Firefox, when are they going to change it back? The idea for this layout is worse than mircosofts Vista mistake.

    It's not that I don't like change, in fact I love it. However, the way tabs open and new windows open needs to go back to the original format. Sure it's a fancy transition but it is more annoying than nice. I never complain about things like this, in fact this will be my first ever complaint about a browser, I quit using explorer, and it looks like I'm going to start again until they change the format of this upgrade. I will not get use to it, I refuse to and everyone else I know feels the same way.

    This solved my problem but in upgrading when layout changes occur there should be some kind of forewarning telling those who upgrade, those steps as a precaution. So we all don't go "insane" and start posting our frustrations. Last question, I noticed that uploading pictures has issues too, you can't select the picture and hit shift to select others

  • 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.
