Ipod list closes every time I download a new playlist in iTunes 12

Have just installed iTunes 12.  I attach my iPod and click on the "expand" triangle to expand the list.  I drag and drop an audio book into a playlist and the iPod list closes and I have to expand it again before I can upload the next audio book.
Is there an iTunes setting to tells it to stay open? 

*I would like to to change it so that nothing defaults back to a Compilation folder*
The CDs you are importing appear to be tagged as compilations, there's no setting in iTunes that is causing them to default. All you can do is check the CDs before you import them to make sure that if they are not actually compilations you change the information. If they are compilations then obviously it would make sense to leave them be.
You might want to set the compilations option for the iTunes Browser so you can easily locate and play tracks from compilation CDs. Open iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>general and check the option "Group compilations when browsing". If you turn on Browsing from View>Show Browser or from the browser "eye" icon in the bottom right of your iTunes window Compilations will appear at the top of the Artist list. Click on Compilations and the compilation albums will will appear in the album pane.
*I have also just done a straight forward copy of the iTunes folder over to a memory stick - is that ok for a back up?*
Yes, if you are keeping all your music files etc. in the iTunes Music Folder then copying the entire iTunes folder will capture it and the library files. Copying the whole folder and it's contents will give you a complete copy of the iTunes files at that point in time.

    As rex already mentioned, Apps and other content are forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them. No transfers. No combining Apple IDs. Forever means forever.
    In practice, this means any apps you currently have - free or paid - will need to be either repurchased using your new Apple ID or downloaded again if free. Until you refresh all of your apps, your iPad will ask for credentials to the old Apple ID any time one of the apps is updated.
    Why did you feel it was necessary to create a new Apple ID?

  • Only one track is downloaded per album on itunes on my iphone 5. Every time I download a new track it deletes the previously downloaded track on that album. Why is this happening and how can I switch it off?

    Only one track is downloaded per album on itunes on my iphone 5. Every time I download a new track it deletes the previously downloaded track on that album. Why is this happening and how can I switch it off?

    Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Sometimes it's necessary to uninstall then reinstall that plugin.
    Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
    Now launch Safari and try a video.
    If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
    You may also need to delete the cache associated with Safari .
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy/paste:   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.

  • Hey Folks! How do I permanently delete iTunes extras from downloading every time I download something new?

    I have downloaded movies from iTunes store and those movies come with an automatic download of iTunes extras (which I don't want). I stop the downloads of the iTunes extras and delete them, but everytime I download anything NEW from the iTunes store the OLD iTunes extras automatically pick up and start downloading again even though I've previously stopped and deleted them? Very frustrating! I've searched many forums and across the interweb but haven't found anything that works.  Help???
    Thanks!

  • Every time I download a new song itunes creates a new folder, why?

  • How do i stop having to put my apple id in every time i download an app?

    I just got my iPhone and am trying to set it up. It seems like I have to type in my Apple id every time I want to download anything, even free stuff. Is there a way to set it so that my phone stores/knows my id and can skip that step?

    It is somehow possible, since I am always logged in on the App Store when I visit, it is just that I have to put the password in every time I download a new app.
    Seen as you are a rather experienced iPhone user, Is there a setting for this?
    Based on the OPs post, he is being prompted for the password when downloading new apps, not simply when opening the app store app. Oonce the password is set in the system, your shouldn't need to add it again just to open the store, only when making a purchases (including free downloads). That is how the system is designed to work, and is not likely to change anytime soon.

  • Every time I download a PDF I get a message that says There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now close. What does this mean?

    I work on a Power Mac G5 running OSX 10.5.8.
    We recently had to upgrade Java.
    Now every time I download a PDF I get the message "There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now close."
    I downloads the PDF OK, but then Safari closes and I have to start it back up to get to my email.
    What is the message telling me? It did not do this before we upgraded Java.

    I'm having the same issue. Again, unfortunately. And of course you will find through various searches that it is a reoccurring issue, one that Adobe seems to have failed to acknowledge.
    You can delete your preference files. Same thing. RAISE blah blah crash.
    You can even go and do a restore from an uncorrupted backup from over 4 months ago, and yet it still doesn't solve the problem, thus there is a compatibility issue.
    The program is battling with another program (of which there really is no telling) and therefore crashing the moment you open it. The software itself is clean and uncorrupted, yet somewhere deep within OSX there is a problem that won't allow the software to open.
    The only temporary solution i've found to solve the problem is a clean adobe install. Just delete and uninstall all and any traces of Adobe Acrobat, then reinstall to find a working adobe product. For a small while, at least.
    I've never tried creating a new account, but from what others say it works. Not worth my time though.
    If anyone was wondering I have zero third party plugins. Its straight from Adobe CS4. Pro version.
    Someone above mentioned using the drop down menu in acrobat to reset the software. I can't even do that! The "RAISE" window pops up before that actual software! Its ridiculous!
    Its really quite peeving to know that this issue has been around for years and Adobe seems to just ignore it. I know I don't want to pay for a company that fails to meet their customers needs. This is your problem Adobe, not ours to deal with. Fix It.

  • Every time i download a album some of the songs get cut in half

    every time i download a album some of the songs get cut short. what is causing that to happen?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Why does Notes close every time I open it?   I can't access my notes...

    Why does Notes close every time I open it?   I can't access my notes;
    there don't appear to be any.    Help!
    When I check in Settings, Notes has disappeared from the list of Apps
    On my iPhone, yet I didn't delete it.    I had dozens of notes, lots
    of necessary information stored therein. 
    Thanks for any help....

    I was having this issue also. I found this thread and disabling Exchange Notes did the trick. Obviously, this is the solution only if you were using Exchange to begin with.
    If you want to continue to use Exchange notes or perhaps try this to see if it works in general, I found a fix on this site. All works well now.
    1. Delete your exchange account from the Mail, Contacts & Calendars pane in System Preferences.
    2. Go to Finder, click "Go" in the menu bar, click "Go to Folder" and type in "~/Library" (without the quotes) in the box. This will take you to your user Library folder.
    3. Use the search box in the finder and type in "com.apple.notes" and click "Library" in the search bar that appears. This should now find several folders and files related to the Notes app. Rename or delete everything except the help files (with the lifesaver icons on them).
    4. Restart your Mac. Put your exchange account back into System Preferences, you can go ahead and activate the Notes sync service.
    5. Open Notes and it should be working now!
