ITunes 11.01 playlist view - strange behaviour

iTunes 11.01 playlist view.
I've selected a folder and want to create a new playlist. But New / Playlist is greyed out.
This often happens.
At other times it lets me create, but bounces straight into album view - pretty pictures, but not what I want since I am trying to sort and catalogue a folder containing 66 CDs [more than 200 Bach cantatas] which I have loaded.
Now I want to create a separate playlist for each cantata.
Similar process worked fine in iTunes 10 [splitting Vivaldi albums].
Is this part of the iTunes 11 "new look" - am I missing something?
Thanks much

Many thanks
It's not that I don't like the new look, in particularly the new mini-player is excellent.
simply that the sidebar / playlists is more convenient for the long and tedious work of cataloguing big multi-disc sets and splitting them into one playlist for each separate work.
When I've finished the Bach cantatas, I should start on Haydn's 104 symphonies, currently packed into 33 CDs.
But it's worth the effort. As I move more and more discs into the digital workflow - or should that be EARflow? - I don't often play the physical CDs any more. AirPort Express feeds them straight in to the hifi

ITunes 11 - Multiple Playlists Called "Strange"

After converting to iTunes 11 i now have over 8,000 playlists called "Strange" that contain no song entries. How do I get rid of all of these?

Anyone have ideas for how to solve this?

Customized UWL View - Strange Behaviour...

Hi SDNers,
I have recently implented EP7.0 and as part of this I have activated the Universal Worklist.
I have put in place some custom workflows in the backend ECC system within which i have tasks that are required to appear in the UWL...lets call them A and B.
For these tasks i have created the item type and view entries in the UWL config and uploaded this file into the portal.
All of this works fine and I can view the tasks with their relevant column settings etc.
The next step was that i wanted to have two different tabs on the UWL...one for task type 'A' and the other for task type 'B'.
To achieve this i created a navigation node framework and assigned the view for 'A' to one node and the view for 'B' for the other node.
The problem i have is that when i initially log in, both of the tasks appear in tab 'A'. However when I click on tab 'B' the tasks get re-distributed correctly!!?!?!
Everytime I navigate back to the worklist the tabs are displayed correctly, however if I log off and log back in again they appear in the same tab...grrr!
Does anyone know why this happens and if it is possible to prevent such an occurence...it has become very frustrating!
see UWL config file ...

Strange behaviour with smart music list in iTunes

I don't know how is the name of this list in english. In portuguese iTunes calls "Lista Inteligente". So, I eddited a list to show all musics never played up to 100 months ago. If I click on a music in this list, before it plays, the music disappear from the list as it would be played and nothing will be played. And so one, the next and etc. No date is shown in "last play" but the music isn't anymore to see in this List.
This list works well for many years but suddenly I have this strange behaviour.
could it be something wrong with new update? Now I have iTunes installed 11.3.0.54

Click the gray disclosure triangle in front of the iPod touch name.
Thus I cannot do any functions with the music on my iPod - such as delete songs, update song info, etc.
I would suggest making any changes to songs in iTunes and then transferring the songs to the touch.
You can create playlists and autosync on lythos playlists.
Then add/delete from those playlists, update items in iTunes then plug in the touch to sync it.

View Master mode strange behaviour with jpg files

Hy all,
I'm using Aperture, and I'm tweakin a lot the SW to discover all secrets ....
I'm really concerned about a strange behaviour of the SW in view mode.
If I open a jpg file, do not apply ANY modification, and apply the "show master" command (pressing M), there's a subtle behaviour :
*the images get sharper !!!!*
It behaves as if an "edge sharpening" was applied !!!!!!
With _RAW files this thing doesn't happen at all._
Even stranger, if I zoom to full definition (by pressing Z), and toggle between normal view and "show master" view, the immage remains the same !
The effect is not so evident with all images, but sometimes it is !!
Anyway, I expect not to have such kind of things with a professional SW.
With professional cameras and good quality files it's really annoying not to beeing sure what's the REAL content of the jpg image.
Has anyone noted this thing ? Is there a reasonable explanation ?
The only one I tried to figure out is the following : may be Aperture applies some kind of resampling algorithm with jpg files (bicubic, bilinear, etc).
May be this resampling is not applied with 100% magnification, as weel as with raw files.
But it's only my guessing. Now, I'm tweaking other viewers and other SW to understand what's the real jpg image stored in the file : the blurer one form normal view or the sharper one with "show master" mode.
I stress once again : of course, the jpg file I'm talking about have no settings at all, just imported and toggled with M button.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Enzo

Hy,
I'm afraid I'm not been clear.
The problem is this :
1) jpg image opened in normal view mode, no zoom, (no quick preview, of course) : image with a certain amount of blour
2) jpg image opened in show master mode, no zoom, (no quick previre, of course) : image SHARPER with respect with the previous.
No edit applied from import, so "show master" command shouln't apply any change in rendering, should it ?
The only thing I said on 100% view is that such difference (between normal mode e show mastermode) is not present with 100% magnification.
That was the issue.

In Itunes 12 is there a way to view search results in the playlist view rather than the drop down menu?

When searching for a song title, an artist etc in Itunes 12 it shows the results via a tiny consolidated drop down menu, however in previous version of Itunes search results would be displayed in the main playlist view. I seriously dislike the search drop down view because A) it only shows limited results B) It shows artwork C) It is confusing when trying to search your playlist when you are trying to organize your library.
If anyone knows a way to change the search view preference please let me know how or advise me on how to suggest to Apple that they change it back or give people the option to choose which search result view they would like to use.
Thanks.

If you disable the Search Entire Library option (available in the dropdown to the left of the search box) iTunes 12 will not show the search results in a dropdown but will immediately go to a filtered version of your current view. With the Search Entire Library option enabled, you can still get to this filtered view by clicking on the first entry in the drop down, which will say "Show <search string> in Library" or "Show <search string> in <playlist>" depending on where you start the search from.
There are some inconsistencies in the search behavior, most notably that where you have the Search Entire Library option enabled and search within a playlist the dropdown will show all matches in you complete library (whether in your playlist or not), whereas the first entry in the dropdown just takes you to the filtered playlist view.
You can use https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html to provide input to developers about bugs, enhancement requests, etc.

I have a tiny problem that is driving me mad. When I am playing an album in iTunes using cover flow view (with the playlist beneath the artwork picture) the picture is exactly above the album title. All is symmetrical. When I switch to full screen display, the artwork moves a couple of inches to the left and the display is therefore asymmetrical. Why and how do I correct it? It would drive you mad to.
Thanks for any help,
Graham

I was having the same problem, but tried the "Top Button + Home Button" reset and that did work for me. My unofficial guess is that perhaps RAM caches get filled through daily use of various apps leaving no memory for cover flow. Resetting the phone on the phone itself seems to reset that RAM. I can't say it's a cure-all, but it solved my issue. Hope this helps.

Strange Behaviour after 6.0.2 install

Hello all,
This is my first posting to Apple Discussions, so please be kind...
I recently installed iTunes 6.0.2 via Software Update and noticed strange behaviour while trying to edit a smart playlist. I have a smart playlist set up to select songs between 3 and 5 stars in My Rating, which have not been played in the last four weeks. While trying to edit the star range, I found that I could only select two stars or five stars. If I clicked one star, it changed to two; if I clicked any other number of stars, it changed to five. As a test, I restored the previous iTunes.app from backup and the problem disappeared.
Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Jon

Hello Web_Diko,
I'm sorry but I don't know where you can find that package. I take nightly backups of my machine so I just restored the previous version from my backup. Maybe try a search for "iTunes 6.0.1" on Google or on www.apple.com?
When I mentioned the "privacy thing" I was alluding to the various items about iTunes 6.0.3 "phoning home" with details of what tracks you are playing together with your Apple ID. It doesn't bother me personally, but I think that the complaints are legitimate, because people should be told whenever they install a program that sends information back to the vendor.

ITunes Match and playlists broken in iOS 8

Since updating to iOS 8 I can no longer add songs to playlists from my phone (I have iTunes match). When attempting to add a song sometimes it gets stuck in the add screen and does not show a "done" button to press or if I add one, it just doesn't add it to the playlist. I can however add songs to the playlist from my mac and it will show up on my phone like normal, just unable to add from my phone.
Other iTunes or music app issues are songs not showing up where they should. I had a song that downloaded from a pre-order, I changed the genre to one of the main genre's I use (like normal), added it to a playlist, and now that the entire album has become available and has downloaded the first track is not able to be found through either genre (either original or my own altered genre) or artist although it still shows up on the playlist.
One more thing about adding songs to a playlist on iOS. I was glad to see that one of the buttons on the bottom (in the add screen) is playlists now as an option to add a song but if you edit the buttons on the bottom and move genre down there, it doesn't stay put. It's back on the "more" screen each time.
Here's a suggestion to any apple folks if they're reading this, besides fixing the things above, how about from the song playing screen when you press the + button that an option is to "add to playlist". When you click on that it brings you to your playlist view to select a playlist. It's a pain in the butt when say you're listening to a song on shuffle, want to add said song to a playlist so you have to back out of the song playing screen, find the playlist (for which I have multiple layers due to playlist folders) click the add button, find the song (after you move genre to the bottom again) then click on the plus sign, hit done, make sure it took it, back out of the playlist view to get back to Now Playing. For people like me who take advantage of iTunes Match and have a lot of music in their libaray, Genre and playlists are the easiest and quickest ways to find what I want to listen to and at times it's not very efficient.
Thanks for your considerations and eventual fixes.

iTunes Match has this problem with almost every iPhone software update. It's unfortunate that they cannot track down the issue. Hopefully this is not indicative of Apple's expertise when it comes to all cloud services. Music, photos and personal data are things that are important to all of us and we spend many hours on custom playlists, personal photo albums and are putting our trust that the work won't just disappear. iCloud drive is another promised feature and it's becoming tougher to trust a new free service when long-standing issues on a paid service cannot be fixed. I want to remain optimistic but so far, iTunes Match is not helping.
On a positive note, the playlists on my Apple TV matches perfectly with my iMac and was working well on my iPhone 5S. The update to iOS 8 on the 5S did NOT cause the playlists to go out of order. I have only seen this issue on new iPhone 6's and iOS 8. Also, moving playlists in and out of folders in iTunes on a Mac seems to be a temporary fix that only lasts as long as you are logged in – Signing out of iTunes Match on iOS and signing back in brings back the problem… which *****.
iPhone 6, iOS 8.0.2

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs?

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs? When I view the music stored on my iMac, I get a choice to view by Songs, Artists, Albums, Composers, etc. But I don't get any choice with the music on my iPhone.
Its really hard to manage the music on my iPhone. I want to quickly remove albums and add new ones.
Is there a solution that I haven't seen?

Create a playlist, add/delete albums and sync this playlist.
You don't need to manually manage the iPhone music to do this.

Strange behaviour from new 2012R2 in old domain

Hi all,
At work (education level), I'm starting to take charge of windows admin, so beiing a noob admin I'm finding strange behaviours that I hope you can help me solve them all :-)
We've one (big) domain with about 5000 computers (workers and students all together), and around 50000 users (again, workers and students all together) setup like this:
DC-DOMAIN-1:
Windows Server 2008R2
Shares NETLOGON and SYSVOL
DC-DOMAIN-2:
Windows Server 2003 R2 x64
Shares CertEnroll, NETLOGON, SMSLOGON, SYSVOL
Checking RootDSE, I see 'domainControllerFunctionaly is Windows 2003' (DC-DOMAIN-2)
So, with this setup, I've noticed these strange behaviours, hope list isn't too big (guess there will be more behaviours but these seemed too odd):
1) On DC-DOMAIN-2, WinServer 2003 eventlog, inside 'Directory Service', I found this warning event ID 1083 (Source NTDS Replication):
Active Directory could not update the following object with changes received from the domain controller at the following network address because Active Directory was busy processing information.
Object:CN=<an user name>, CN=Users, DC=DOMAIN
Usually followed by an information event (eventid 1955) which says:
ctive Directory encountered a write conflict when applying replicated changes to the following object.
Object:
<SAME USER OBJECT THAN PREVIOUS EVENT ID>
Time in seconds:
0
Event log entries preceding this entry will indicate whether or not the update was accepted.
A write conflict can be caused by simultaneous changes to the same object or simultaneous changes to other objects that have attributes referencing this object. This commonly occurs when the object represents a large group with many members, and the functional level of the forest is set to Windows 2000. This conflict triggered additional retries of the update. If the system appears slow, it could be because replication of these changes is occurring.
User Action
Use smaller groups for this operation or raise the functional level to Windows Server 2003.
And having as result that user being blocked in domain.
2) I've added a new print server based on Windows Server 2012R2 (running inside an updated ESX 5.5 with VMXNET3 ethernet adapter as recommended by vmware), and seen in the event viewer these warnings/errors:
At System log:
Error Event ID 5783, Source NETLOGON:
The session setup to the Windows NT or Windows 2000 Domain Controller \\DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name for the domain DOMAIN is not responsive. The current RPC call from Netlogon on \\PRINTSERVER to \\DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name has been cancelled.
I've seen Event ID 5783 with DC-DOMAIN-1 too....
Error Event ID 5719, Source NETLOGON:
This computer was not able to set up a secure session with a domain controller in domain DOMAIN due to the following:
The remote procedure call failed and did not execute.
This may lead to authentication problems. Make sure that
this computer is connected to the network. If the problem persists, please contact your domain administrator.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
If this computer is a domain controller for the specified domain, it sets up the secure session to the primary domain controller emulator in the specified domain. Otherwise, this computer sets up the secure session to any domain controller in the specified domain.
At Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectinoManager/Admin found also this warning:
Warning Event ID 20499 Source TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager:
Remote Desktop Services has taken too long to load the user configuration from server \\DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name for user administrator
3) If I try Group Policy Modeling on DC-DOMAIN-1 (server 2008R2), everything works fine, no matter if I try it against DC-DOMAIN-1 or DC-DOMAIN-2, but if I try this from the Server 2012R2 (the one from point 2), I get this:
Simulation against DC-DOMAIN-2: Gets executed, but all GPO show as inaccessible, empty or disabled.
Simulation against DC-DOMAIN-1: Sometimes it gets executed as DC-DOMAIN-2, sometimes I get an error saying query can't be executed.
4) From server 2012R2, I usually manage printing GPO. If I click on the domain root (GPMC, forest, Domains, DOMAIN-NAME-ROOT) right pane, I get a pop up saying:
'A processing error ocurred collecting data using this base domain controller. Please change the base domain controller and try again'
After closing popup, right pane says something like 'DC-DOMAIN-2.fulldns.name' is the baseline domain controller for this domain.
No infrastructure Status information exists for this domain.
Click the Detect Now button below to gather infrastructure status from all of the domain controllers in this domain.
Pressing 'Detect Now' does nothing, and trying to select New Baseline DC shows again same pop up than before.
5) Last, but not least, I've feeling that GPO takes too much to apply. I've found scenarios in which even after executing 'gpupdate /force' correctly on client computer either local or domain admin, I can't see the new changes (gpresult says it has been
updated though). But couldn't find anything on eventlog that informs about problems with GPOs...
For all these strange behaviours I've noticed in last month that I started checking things as sys admin, I believe domain is damaged, or something is wrong there (not just my new server 2012R2, even if it's running inside an ESX, blehh), so please, any hint
on what to check, what to change, what to fix, would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul,
Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out all broken things reported by tests :( Guess Jesper's suggestion about adding a new 2008 DC to get rid of 2003 and start checking again after that may be best option.
I'll try to summarize list of things I believe are wrong:
running
DCDIAG /V /C /D /E /s:yourdcname > c:\dcdiag.log for every DC, shows different errors. They show things such as:
another domain running here (not administered by us, only relationship is that our users are shared with that domain, nothing else) appear when Printing out pDsInfo (as if they were DC of our domain too, but they do not even share RootDomain). Guess it
may be for a bug old sys admin had when clonning from his 2008R2 template, that forgot to change SID... I already noticed 1 year ago our print server shared SID with those DC, guess there may be more servers sharing SID too :-(
Within Starting test: Replications, I see few messages at Replication Latency Check, such as the one for CN=Schema, CN=Configuration, DC=<ourdomain>:
Latency information for 35 entries in the vector were ignored.
35 were retired Invocations. 0 were either: read-only replicas and are not verifiably latent, or dc's no longer replicating this nc. 0 had no latency information (Win2K DC)
On Services test, I see an
Invalid service type: RpcSs on DC-DOMAIN-3, current value
WIN32_OWN_PROCESS, expected value WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
On SystemLog, I see LOTS of warnings/errors such as:
A warning event occurred. EventID: 0x80000002
Time Generated: 07/28/2014 08:21:54
(Event String (event log = System) could not be retrieved, error
0x503)
An error event occurred. EventID: 0xC0000003
Time Generated: 07/28/2014 08:22:18
(Event String (event log = System) could not be retrieved, error
0x3afc)
Missing entries on DNS (we've a static DNS)
netdiag.exe /v > c:\netdiag.log Showed again DNS problems such as our primary DNS pointing to all DC, secondary
DNS pointing just to DC with FSMO roles,...
repadmin.exe /showrepl * /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt Gave no errors, now I must check in detail
if every replica is correct
And finally,
dnslint /ad /s "ip address of your dc" gave more DNS problems:
One or more DNS servers may not be authoritative for the domain
One or more DNS servers did not respond to UDP queries
One or more zone files may have expired
SOA record data was unavailable and/or missing on one or more DNS servers
Sumarizing, guess it will be better to fix DNS problems, promote new 2008R2 DC to get rid of 2003 one, promote domain to 2008 too, check again for messages and relationship with other domain, and then come back here for support if needed
EDIT: Almost forgot to talk about SYSVOL folder. As said before, there are 426 GPO folders inside Policies. Of them, 375 have an inetres.adm files in it (smallest one 1398 KB, almost all of them 2307 or 2707 kb)....

Strange Behaviour into Runtime Workbench

Hi all,
I have a question for us.
Into our system PI 7.1 we have a strange behaviour in Runtime Workbench - Message Monitoring.
When I choose for the fiel "FROM" the value "Database" I obtain the list of software component that I find the value "Integration Server".
But when I choose the value "Database (Overview)" the value "Integration Server" into list of software component doesn't exist.
Why Do the system have this behaviour?
best regards,
Davide Bruno

Hey,
The old way of seeing msg use - the db option... In Pi 71 the db overiew options gives you an aggregated view of ur messages. this is very helpful in tracking repeated failures, anylysing the types of failures etc...The "strange" view is actually a pretty neat tool... We used to do this in excel sheets after dowloading the report from sxmb_moni..
regards,

Strange behaviour or not?

Hi all...I'm new in this forum and I have a question to you. I think my curiosity is about the compiler, so I post here.
I use Java SE 1.5 and 1.6. If I write a simple class like the following
public class Prova{
public static void main(String[] args){
Integer a1=128;
Integer a2=128;
/*1*/System.out.println(a1==a2);
/*2*/System.out.println(a1);
/*3*/System.out.println(a2);
I get the following strange result
/*1*/ prints true if a1 and a2 are both inizialized between -128 and 127 (exactly 256 values, the ones obtainable from a byte) and false for values less then -128 or bigger then 127...
Is this a strange behaviour or not? Why do I obtain such results?
please note that /*2*/ and /*3*/ ALWAYS print the declared values (in this case 128).
thank you!

Shadow-DK wrote:
From version 1.5 that declaration began correct and the result was similar to Integer i = new Integer(100);
No that wouldn't permit caching. Its like Integer i = Integer.valueOf(100);The caching MUST occur for values -128 thru 127, it may occur for other values. I would not rely on caching not occurring outside that range.
See [the language spec section on boxing conversion|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/conversions.html#5.1.7]
If you aren't sure what the compiler is doing, it can be informative to use the javap command with the -c option to view the classfile.
Usage: javap <options> <classes>...
where options include:
   -c                        Disassemble the code
   -classpath <pathlist>     Specify where to find user class files
   -extdirs <dirs>           Override location of installed extensions
   -help                     Print this usage message
   -J<flag>                  Pass <flag> directly to the runtime system

Strange behaviour when setting client_info and module in v$session

Hello,
I've tried to set the CLIENT_INFO field in V$SESSION using DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO but found a strange behaviour.
Normally the forms modules seems to set the field MODULE in V$SESSION to its name. If I use DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO the CLIENT_INFO field is set correctly but the MODULE field is set to 'frmweb.exe' instead of the forms modules name.
I also tried to set the MODULE using DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE but then strangely the MODULE and MODULE_HASH field of the original frmweb.exe (the main applet?) entry and the entry for the forms module were the same (set to the new module name). From now on every newly opened module had 'frmweb.exe' as the module entry until I closed the forms application.
Example:
Entries in V$SESSION:
-- After start of forms application there is only one entry for the process:
PROCESS           MODULE            MODULE_HASH            CLIENT_INFO
1596:7204         frmweb.exe        854945150
-- When a new forms module is opened it looks like this:
PROCESS           MODULE            MODULE_HASH            CLIENT_INFO
1596:7204         frmweb.exe        854945150
1596:7204         my_module         1929284615
-- When the modified forms module that sets the client_info/module is opened this happens:
PROCESS           MODULE            MODULE_HASH            CLIENT_INFO
1596:7204         mod_module        3097977240
1596:7204         mod_module        3097977240             my client info
1596:7204         my_module         1929284615As one can see the entry of the forms application seems to be overriden (at least the MODULE and MODULE_HASH fields) but the CLIENT_INFO only changes for one of the entries?
The following code is responsible for the changes of CLIENT_INFO and MODULE:
    -- get client info
    client_info :=
        webutil_clientinfo.get_ip_address
        || ' (' ||
        webutil_clientinfo.get_user_name
        || ')'
    -- set client info
    DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO(client_info);
    -- get module (set action to '')
    DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE(name_in('system.current_form'),''); I really don't understand, why it does not work properly.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

This was an application module pooling, activation / passivation issue.
After view objects had been set-up correctly, the problem disappeared.

RE: Strange behaviour by OSX Mail in Yosemite

Strange behaviour by OSX Mail in Yosemite
I sent an email to a friend with pix and a pdf attachment from my gmail account
I had to ffwd the same email to someone else. I press the ffwd button and type in my new friends address
Strangely mail sends it to both of them (ie the first and the 2nd friend) despite me removing all Forward comments and email address of my first friend from the address bar and the content field
This is new!
Couldn't find help on this anywhere

The SMPT server keeps changing for email accounts,
Try Mail/Preferences/Accounts /Account Information. Select an account, then go to Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP). From the drop down menu select Edit SMPT server list. Then set up a server for each mail account so that is associated with the e-mail address. Then go to each account and set that server as the Outgoing Mail Server (SMPT). You can click Use only this server if desired.
You can also try this.
Do a backup.
Quit Mail.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail. Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
