IPod and view options inside iTunes 7

Please tell me if I have gone crazy. With 2 new iPods and iTunes 7 all the user options for column choices and positions and sizes remain between sessions EXCEPT the main one under Devices - iPod - Music.
If this is so for everyone then I think it is a bad bug as the main Music listing for the general iTunes window does hold these settings. All playlists are just fine.
If it is just my situation here, how can it be with two computers (G5 and Intel) and two iPods (nano 2G and 80G video) all behaving the same way?

Did you make sure you were logged in as an administrator? Especially in your security software if you have any (McAfee, Norton, etc)

View Options in iTunes 8

Two customizable view options in iTunes 7 seem to have disappeared from iTunes 8, can anyone help me find them? First of all, those annoying little arrows that take you to the iTunes store. They appear in the list after song title, artist, and album title after whatever song you have selected. There was an option to turn them off in iTunes 7 but I can't find it now. The second one is way more crucial. In the browser up top there are three categories--Genre, Artist, and Album. I don't use Genre at all, and I had it turned off in iTunes 7 so that only Artist and Album appeared, but now I can't figure out how to do that. Is there a way to get rid of the Genre box in the browser too? Thanks for your help.

Heres a easy way to do it on mac computers. Work on mine for iTunes 8. God I hate those arrows
I"n iTunes 7, there was a preference to disable the links to the iTunes Store -- these are the small arrows that appear when you select a song in your library. In iTunes 8, however, that preference is gone. A bit of digging in the iTunes' binary found the solution, thankfully.
If you'd like to disable the iTunes Store link arrows, quit iTunes, open Terminal, and run this command:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -bool FALSE
Relaunch iTunes, and voila, no more arrows! To reverse this behavior, you can repeat the above command (quit iTunes first), but replace FALSE with TRUE. (Or, if you prefer, you can completely delete the added preference with defaults delete com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links).
I'm sure this would have been submitted by someone at some point, but the arrows annoyed me enough to go digging for a solution -- and thanks to Kirk McElhearn for his help in finding and testing the fix!"

New computer--do i erase ipod and sync with new itunes library?

I downloaded itunes on my ancient pc and that's where I synced my ipod. i finally put that pc out to pasture and now have a new laptop. i downloaded itunes to the new computer, and when i hooked up my ipod i got the message "the ipod is synced with another itunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this itunes library?" So do I want to erase and sync or not? I'm scared I'm going to mess everything up if I erase it.
One more question: my daughter got a new ipod; once i figure out this syncing issue with my existing ipod, do I need to set up a new account for the new ipod, or can i sync it with the account i already have?
sorry for all the questions--I'm a newbie and want to get this right. Thanks for your help!

Hello. I recently had to restore my computer (as if it was new due to, to many viruses) Afterwards itunes was still there but the music i have on my ipod was not previously purchased through itunes but they were on my computer and placed in itunes library and sent to my ipod. Well after restoring my pc, itunes opened up when i connected my ipod and it asked me to update. So i updated to itunes 10. Now it is telling me that this ipod is registered to my fiance' and it is running off a different itunes library, and that I would either need to erase and sync to the new library in itunes 10, or transfer to itunes 10 library. I tried transfer and restarted itunes, but it just asked me the same questions again. It wouldnt let me create new place lists either. im scared to erase bc i have so many songs i wont remember what there all were to go back and download if it actually erases all my current songs or applications. I assumed when itunes updated to itunes 10, it would update with all my information. And although the ipod is registered in his name or however he did that, I also have sum form of account with apple/itunes because it uses my email address and my credit card during purchases for this ipod (his name is just there). i dont understand what I am suppose to do to fix this problem. These songs are still on my computer and the program where i downloaded them from but since i had to restore the whole computer, its like they are probably hidden files and arent being detected i guess. I really dont know. I have been reading and I see many ppl with the same issue. Any suggestions that wont cost me anything or a little of nuthing to resolve? I heard of Tansee Ipod Transfer but it charges you to move your files from your ipod, into a folder, to your computer, and then to be added to your itunes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks...Lana

Finder Window Sizes and View Options

In an earlier message under Mac OS X Panther it was recommended that I post a new message in the AppleScript forum.
I'm looking for a way to automate the repetitive task of resizing Finder windows and resetting view options. For example resetting a hundred folders to the same window size and screen position with the same view options. This requires manually adjusting each window one by one.
A solution could be an AppleScript that would automate this task.
The following is the earlier message:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1283081#1283081
I mistakenly deleted all the preference files for the Finder window options on my 17 inch PowerBook (.DS_Store Files).
This has returned all Finder windows to default settings for window sizes and view options.
I use custom widow sizes for all my folders that nicely fit the 17 inch screen on my PowerBook, leaving enough desktop space on the right for the hard drive icons and the Dock that I always keep vertical on the right.
I have a 12 inch PowerBook as well. And it has it's own custom window size that fits it's much smaller screen. It has always been a complaint of mine to have to manually reset windows whenever I needed to transfer folders with Bluetooth file exchange.
Resetting Finder window sizes and view option has always been a time consuming problem. Now to have to do it over again for hundreds of windows is a huge task that is way to manual.
The Finder is customizable. There must be a way to set the options for one window and be able to use those adjustments for other windows without having to re adjust each setting manually.
There was an application called Finder Window Manager. Maybe someone knows of another application that can do this of task or another way around this issue.

Photoscene,
I think if you repost this to the AppleScript link, someone there will have a solution for you (in the form of an applescript that you can run)...

Give it a shot (I'm not clever enough to give you a good script yet, but someone there will be!)

Playback position on iPod not Syncing to iTunes. Nano 5, long mp3 files. I have remember playback position selected in Options, and that works fine. But position (45 minutes) on iPod and 2 minutes on iTunes do not get together

Long audio files (mp3 books) on ipod nano 5 play fine, Ipod remembers playback position (I set the flag in info-options) but after listeniong for a while on ipod, I expect that a sync to PC should update the playback position in iTunes. Thus I should be able to subsequently sync a second device to iTunes and have the position passed along to the second device. This is not working for me. I have the latest nano software, and iTunes 11.1.2.32. Have just re-installed iTunes per troubleshooting suggestioons on support web page.
Is this a format problem (mp3 issue) or something else?

Reply seems to be theway to elaborate on my origi;nal post.
I have now tried turning off Manually manage music and video on the iPod. One of the 3 long audio files (books as mp3) reloaded to the iPod when I made the chnge, but no loss in my case.. Playback position on iPod seemed to load into iTunes (looked good while iPod was connected in Playlists and Library/Music, but as soon as I disconnected the iPod the saved positions reverted to the old values. One more theory shot down. Since my goal is to keep several playback devices in step, I am back to jotting down the latest position and manually forward spacing the alternate device to pick up where I left off.
This seems so logical a use that I am baffled about why it is so hard (impossible?).

No view option in itunes 8

as the title say i can’t change the view option for my ipode, if i’m in the music library it works but when i highlight music under my ipod it’s greyed out, it’s also greyed out in the view option on the tool bar, anybody got a fix
i’ve tried going back to 7.7.1 but it won’t let me

same here
under "Library", the music view can be changed just fine
and under "Devices", meaning the ipod, the music view can't be changed or even select any song as they are all grayed out
I'm sure it has always been that way, even back in my first itunes 6.xx versions

2G Nano View Options in iTunes dont get saved!!!

I noticed an issue with the 2G Nano that the view options (columns with Artist, Song, Track Number etc.) always get reset to the default settings in iTunes every time I plug it in to charge/update music. I know with all the other iPods I've owned the iTunes view options (columns with Artist, Song, Track Number etc.) for the particular iPod are always saved and appear the same from computer to computer within iTunes. Does anyone have any idea why the view options aren't being saved on the 2G Nanos when it is viewed within iTunes?

The other post on this may have been mine.
What I find is that the Music folder under the plugged-in iPod source always comes up in a weird configuration upon connecting the nano. You can customize from there, and it will hold the new column choices/positions during the session. However, once you eject the iPod and connect again later, you're back to the original nonsense columns (nonsense in that they make no sense for a music library ... the Description column is present, intended for podcasts).
Fortunately, playlists seem to work. So, I now transfer all my music in one big smart playlist and, when browsing the contents of my nano, I select the playlist rather than Music as the source folder. It's a decent workaround, but I hope the problem is fixed in the next revision.

Can i take music off of my ipod and put it in itunes using icloud?

My computer crashed in august. My itunes recovery disks failed and so did my attempt to recover music from my computer. Now all my music is on my ipod and I would like a way to take that music and put it in itunes on my new pc. Does anyone know if icloud can help me with this problem?

You can re-download songs you have already purchsed from iTunes one-by-one if you need to. There is no way to mass-download your entire library though, and this only applies to songs purchased through iTunes. There is no way to upload all of your music to iCloud. The iTunes Match service for $25 per year allows you to store your music in the cloud, but for you I think it's already too late. I don't think you can send all your music to iTunes Match directly from your iPod.
I would recommend you find an iPod manager program you can use to copy the music off the iPod directly. A quick Google search should reveal plenty of options.

View options in iTunes

Under view options, I would like to sort albums by year and descending. This 'descending' option was in earlier versions if iTunes. How can we sort the albums where the new content appears on the top of the list?

Hi,
In song view you can sort a number of field by either ascending or descending order.
You can select year, click on heading, this changes to descending order, click again to get ascending.
Is this what your looking for?

Changes in viewing options in iTunes 8

Hi all,
I have had a disappointment with iTunes 8 in terms of the viewing options. I used to view and sort through my library in the list view mode where I would have 3 columns to choose from genre, artist, and album. This was a very convenient and rapid way to sort through and find music I was looking for. This option appears to be gone from iTunes 8. Is it? Why? I am not a fan of sorting through a long list. The grid viewing option does not please me so much either. I see no reason to bog down my system with all the cover art...
So does anyone know if it is possible to restore the list view with the 3 sorting columns I had in previous iTunes versions?

Within iTunes:
View->Show Browser. Or just CTRL-B
Best of Luck

Lost iPod and how to get iTunes to link to a new one

I recently lost my Nano and am looking at getting a Touch to replace it. A few of the albums in my iTunes library were purchased rather than imported from CD. Will I be able to synch those albums with my new iPod, if not any way of doing it manually?

When you first connect the iPod, you see the set up assistant/licensing agreement and of course you must click "agree" in order to proceed.
Then you'll be prompted to name the iPod and choose a method of auto syncing your iPod. If you want to manually mange the content of your iPod, remove the check mark from the auto sync option. Click "done" and that takes you to the registration screen. Then your done, and you can begin transferring music from your iTunes library including music purchased from the iTunes store.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
