Idea for iTunes: Slideshow for "Now Playing" (new suggestion for multiple artwork in one song)
As some may know, you can put more than one album art (picture) in a song. When it's done, the "Now Playing" window, which usually showcases the artwork of the song playing, would have a small right/left arrow beside it. When pressed, you switch to a new artwork.
However with the recent updates on iTunes, that arrow button's disappeared. Now it's as pointless as ever to put multiple pictures. My purpose with this feature is to put album covers and the single artwork together, only if they are the first tracks of whichever album. (Yes, I like to stare at the album covers while listening to music).
IDEA - Why not have the "Now playing" window fade between pictures like a slideshow? So for example, Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger" album's 1st track "Mr. Know It All", a single that bears its own artwork. Putting the album and single cover in the song while playing, they'd alternate between pictures every 5 seconds.
I just think that if you can put more than one picture in a song, might as well make use of it. There are a lot of albums that have singles as track no.1. Some have a great single artwork but can't be shown because it needs the album cover. This would make a great compromise. It might even be more neat to put a real life picture of you or someone or a place you know because the song reminds you of .
What do you guys think?
(Say is this normally the way to suggest them ideas or do I just e-mail them a customer support form?)
Since this is a user-to-user forum, for better results with Apple, give them feedback at:

That will get the informatin to Apple.

I agree - and was glad to see this post and intend to search for more. I vaguely recall some kind of multimedia artwork to replace and extend the idea of the printed album cover being talked about. Was that a standalone package one bought?
Animating covers and album info - some albums I have eg one I just put in itunes - has 87 pages of info - and one track is 70 minutes long. I would like to read that info as it plays (without starting up several other programmes and searching for the docs!)
It is a multimedia environment so why not have an interactive 'now playing' window that plays related videos - pdfs - as well as stills or EVEN! that can actively search (say google images? or tagged info from wherever) for related pictorial content or other info. I have tried dragging pdfs into the artwork box but it wants the pdfs pages made into jpgs first and separated - altho they can ALL be added at once.
Maybe theres already a script to do this stuff?
Sorry to over extend that idea! But really its quite stupid at present not even to be able to see the other stuff one has put in the artwork box - and it even took a while to guess it could be used (as simple as drag and drop..)
I had no idea the 'now playing' window had buttons - where have they gone! -
I was using a different itune id and now a new one but when i want to update the old app its always asking for my old app id.
Is there a way to change my old app to my new id so that i dont have to use my old id?There is no other way you can do now. Actually, you don't need to create a new Apple ID account, you can change the Apple ID from old email account to other email accout easily by all the steps below.
1, Open iTunes > iTunes Store > log in old Apple ID > Click on your apple ID on the right hand side on top > choose account > Apple ID > Edit
As long as you only change your Apple ID, then all the old apps are still under your new email account as well as you can keep downloading new apps. -
i' ve changed my password for itunes account and now i can't uppdate any applications bought before?
Sign out in iTunes and sign back in again with the new password.

Can someone provide direction on sharing an Apple ID for Itunes, but creating a separate Apple ID for Icloud?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'm not sure what there is to tell. Just use the Apple ID you wish to share to log into the iTunes store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) and the seperate Apple ID's you want to use for iCloud (Settings > iCloud) -
Hi Team,
I have iphone4 16GB with iOS 5.1.1. While using the phone, few times the phone is automatically going to shutdown and getting call disconnected. Some times, it happens more frequently in a day, sometimes not.
and also, How can I update my iphone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.1.4 only. I am not looking for iOS 7 right now. Please suggest the update process?You cannot. You can only upgrade to the currently supported version of the iOS which, at this time is iOS 7.0.2.

HT3819 If I pay for itunes match do I have to pay for more icloud storage as well?
If I pay for itunes match do I have to pay for more icloud storage as well?
iTunes Match, however, does not count against your iCloud storage, the free 5GB or any paid addition. They're completely separate.

ITunes says "Please try a new name for your calendar" and closes
The entire message says, "sorry that username is taken. Please try a new name for your calendar itunes" and the locks up and shuts down. It then reopens and the process begins again. I am running current versions of iTunes and Leopard. I have tried reinstalling iTunes, but no dice.
I wonder why all of a sudden this thing is giving trouble? I've used it for a year or so and no issues, now all of a sudden it isn't working? Do you know the name of the file for iConcertCal? I searched for it and it isn't found on the computer by that name.

I use multiple libraries with itunes - should I create a new library for a 2nd iphone
I use multiple iTunes libraries to manage multiple devices from the same PC. I'm purchasing an iPhone 6 and currently have a library for my iPhone 4. Would I create a new library for this new device? Also, to restore all content to my new phone, Will this restore be done from the existing iPhone 4 library? Is this process documented?
I can't address specific issues regarding iPhones, but in general you can manage multiple iDevices from a single iTunes library. The test approach is to maintain one or more playlists for each iDevice you use, and configure the latter to sync only from the relevant playlists:

Because I think that movie renting is an important cornerstone of the Apple TV concept. Even though not owning the physical hardware I pretty much feel like being a part of Apple's TV future.
Chenks wrote:
your review is only applicable to that particular rental, and not all (they aren't all the same aspect ratio).
I think it is generally applicable. Even though the source material of course always plays a role in the quality equation, the problems of the pipeline from encoding over decoding to rendering are quite obvious (a lot of it may be due to iTunes for Windows).
So let's consider a 16:9 aspect. Resolution is 1280x720 then? I don't think that it improves the situation as the same bandwidth is distributed among more pixels then. Problem is bandwidth and not resolution. But I pretty much believe that the bandwidth can be used much more efficiently. -

I Have always used the same debit card for iTunes and then the other day I tried to download an app and it said that I needed to update payment methods so I put in all of my details and it said that my card had been declined. I have no idea why and I don't know how to fix this. Please help
Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -
How do I stop iTunes from highlighting 'Now Playing' song
How do I keep iTunes from switching to and highlighting the 'Now Playing' track each time it switches tracks? It's quite annoying when scrolling my library or syncing a product with certain music and it then switches from Z to A as that is now the current track. Any insights?
Hello Garrett,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes launching unexpectedly. I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

When I get to the point where I've made my desired selections and want to click to apply them, (or also sometimes just to see the rest of my remaining choices) I cannot because the bottom of the window is cut off. I am not able to resize the window with my pointer as one can with most windows when using programs or websites. It only happens with the pop up windows. Thank you in advance for any help!
I solved my own problem. :-) I simply needed to change the "size" setting in my add-on "Theme Font & Size Changer" to a smaller number. Now the new windows don't require scrolling to see the entire content. But, I suppose for someone with serious vision problems, they might need to do the same thing, but then break out a magnifying glass to read everything in the window.....
