ITunes 11 always returns to 'All Artists'

When I am importing a CD, and especially when upgrading an old low bite rate album to lossless or higher rate rips, it is useful to be able to switch between the view of the CD track list and the view of the album being replaced so that track names etc. all match up and no duplicates are created.
This worked fine in iTunes 10.
Now however, when I go from the Album view to the CD then back again iTunes keep going back to 'All Artists' rather than the artist I was viewing. This means I have to scroll through the library to find the album again, make some edits then repeat until everything is correct.
I have tried this on PC and Mac and they act the same.
This is now a major PITA. Has anyone found a way to make iTunes remember the album or artist it is viewing and go back to it after switching to looking at something else?

I believe if you updated your Apple TV, you need iTunes 11 to make it work.

I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.

Mail - Search always returns All mail entries

When I use the Search facility in Mail to try and find some specific mails I know I have amongst my many thousand of mails, i just can't get Search to return anything other than a full return of all items in the mailbox.
I'm clearly being daft somehow, but can't figure it out.
I enter single word into the search box in the top right, and it always just says 10,562 (or whatever the current number is) items, which makes no sense. I'm using search words that should return a few hundred. I've even put in non existent words to prove the point - still get the same number 'returned'.
Sort of sensing that no search is actually taking place, or there's some overriding criteria/setting hiding somewhere.
Using current version of Yosemite including version 8.0 of Mail.
What am I missing - anyone know?
Cheers.

I was able to solve all my problems with searching in Mail with a simple process. I backed up my entire machine with Time Machine, then booted from my OS X install / restore DVD. Then selected restore from time machine backup, it rewrote my entire hard drive with the backup from time machine and upon booting back up, Mail reindexed all messages and my computer was exactly how I left it before I backed it up.
The problems I was having with mail included:
Unable to search 'entire message'
Unable to search 'entire message' when a specific inbox was selected
Able to search messages from spotlight in the Finder, but then they would disappear.
The spotlight index not being updated when new mail came in, making it unsearchable.
Plus a slew of other search in Mail problems.
Backing up and then doing a full restore from Time Machine solved all the problems.
Hope this helps,
Vince

Why the itunes always must sync all data another file if making update application for iphone ?

Why the itunes always must sync all data another file if making update application for iphone ?

I'm not sure I understand the question

HT1600 Since the latest up-date I can't see any movies. I always returns to the main menu. Is anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it?

Since the latest up-date I can't see any movies. It always returns to the main menu. Is anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it? We have gone 3 days without the use of renting movies.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

My matched songs in iTunes on my computer show the artists, but some do not show up on my iPad or iPhone?

My matched songs in iTunes on my computer show all the artists, but most artists do not show up in Music on my iPad or iPhone? I recently fixed the song titles coming back from Match update changed to Track ** by going thru every song's info (command i) and typing in the song title manually (fortunately I had a hard copy of all my song titles and artists and only had about 160 songs to do) and that fixed the problem. Now, both the song titles and artists show in my iTunes, but NOT on my ipad and iphone Music (There are a few that show up). I tried to test my "re-typing artists" into info manually on a few, but it didn't work. I also tried adding "Single" or "None" to the albumn title, but no go. Any suggestions?

Itunes won't open at all in Windows 8

Ever since my computer froze and had to be shut down earlier today itunes won't open at all. When I click nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything apple related, restarting my computer, moving folders around, etc. and no solution I've found online works. This used to happen on my old laptop (Vista) but restarting would always make it work again.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.
I listen to primarily classical music
All of my music was very deliberatley titled by composers "Last Name, First Name" as the artist.
iTunes is changing it to the Album Artist. I have to go in and delete that information - AND THEN IT LATER REVERTS IT BACK!!!
Hours have been wasted and I am feeling so ticked.
Any help?

Purchased or ripped media?
If these are ripped mp3s then another possibility is multiple embedded tags. iTunes works best with a single ID3v2.3 tag. Some software creates both an ID3v1.0 and IDv2.x tag. With multiple tags it is not certain which iTunes reads or which it updates, and any device may choose differently. Once songs have the correct info. in iTunes you can use Convert ID3 Tags... None several times, then Convert ID3 Tags... v2.3. The process removes any embedded art but otherwise preserves the data that iTunes knows. You could use my script CreateFolderArt before and after to save and then restore the artwork.
In the long run you may be better off populating Album Artist properly with a copy of whatever is currently in Artist. My script CopyArtistToAlbumArtist can do this effectively.

I just bought an HD movie on iTunes. Yesterday, I watched all but twenty minutes of it on my Dell laptop. Today, I tried to open it on the same laptop, and it told me my computer can't play HD movies, that I have to view it in SD. What is happening?

I just bought an HD movie on iTunes. Yesterday, I watched all but twenty minutes of it on my Dell laptop. Today, I tried to open it on the same laptop, and it told me my computer can't play HD movies, that I have to view it in SD. The error message said that my computer didn't have the capabilities, but I have several other HD movies that I have always and can still watch without issue. Just this one doesn't work. Why, and do you know how to fix this?

Apparently the display is required to be HDCP compatible to view HD movies in iTunes. My display isn't so this is my problem. I contacted Apple support and they have agreed to credit me for the HD movie and I have now downloaded the SD version.

New iTunes versions no longer display the artist named "+/-"

Ok, so I know the new iTunes versions have put non-alphabetic artists at the end of the list, which is insanely re tar ded. But that's not my problem right now.
With the new sorting algorithm, *one of my artists has actually disappeared!!!*
The band is called +/-. Pronounced "plus minus" but written with just the symbols and the slash.
(Their website is at http://plusmin.us)
They no longer show up anywhere in my iTunes Browser list (View -> Show Browser). Not at the top, not at the bottom, nowhere.
If you turn on View -> Show Browser and search for +/- then in the Artist section (of the music browser) it says "All (0 Artists)" and in the Album section it says "All (7 Albums)" followed by the list of albums. So the music is still there, it just appears that the new iTunes database and search can't really process a band name that starts with anything non-alphanumeric. W T F ?
A seemingly related bug is that when I view the main iTunes library (all artists), and scroll down to where +/- should be at the end of the list, the albums by +/- are not listed together. They are scattered around with my un-tagged tracks and not grouped together, say, like all of my albums by U2. (I also have the same problem with the band named "!!!" in the main library list -- but at least they show up in the Browser list)
Whoever changed the iTunes sorting or database listing algorithm at Apple should fix this (and then be fired). I don't know how to submit this as a BUG to the iTunes team, but I thought maybe posting it here would help.
Does anyone else have any "missing" artists in their iTunes libraries now?
What is Apple thinking? How did this get past QA?
FYI, there was no problem with this before Apple totally changed how artists are listed in the last few updates to iTunes. Why change it if it's not broken?
Ben

Immediately above your post, I explained how you might be able to fix this quickly and easily using Sort fields. You saw how to change multiple Sort fields at once, yes? Have you tried that?
I have a Regina Spektor track called * in my library, and it appears just fine. Just to check, I changed one of my Artist names to +/-, and it was sorted to the end of the library when I sorted by Artist, no problem. +/- also appeared at the bottom of the Artist Browser pane, as I'd expect. If your +/- tracks aren't showing up, perhaps there's another explanation? They're not checked as compilations, are they? Have you tried re-importing them?
If my copy of iTunes has no trouble handling non-alphanumeric fields, that suggests to me that there's something else causing the problem. Sometimes libraries do become corrupted. Providing more information may help.
(I just checked with "!!!" also; that works fine as well.)

HT201413 updated last night and now ipod says to coonect to itunes which i cant because apple application support was not found. tells me to uninstall and reinstall itunes. Will i lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?

Updated ipod last night and now when turned on tells me to coonect to itunes (picture of usb cable with arrow to itunes). I can't connect to itunes on computer because apple application support can't be found. Tells me to uninstall then reinstall itunes. Will I lose all my music or is it still on my ipod?

Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters.)

ITunes Sounds Like Cr*p All Of A Sudden - HELP!

This afternoon I was enjoying the rockin' tracks on my iTunes as always. All of a sudden the sound dropped down in the middle of a song, not just volume, but bass, tone, presence (you know...sounds like all of a sudden you're listening through a paper towel roll). I checked my speaker connnections, rebooted my computer and iTunes and nothing changed - still sounded lousy. Kindly note, I have Harman Kardon Sound Sticks and Bass and the sound has always been top-flight!
I ventured onto the net and visited several sites w/ audio (BBC Radio, Wolfgang's Vault, YouTube, Apple Movie Trailers) and everything sounded just fine. Went back to iTunes - garbage!
Then I went into a bunch of iTunes radio stations and they all sounded fine as well. Also, the "Sound Effects" alert noises on my iMac are normal. Seems my iTunes playlist is the only thing affected. I checked and unchecked the "sound enhancer" box in preferences and nothing changed.
Can anybody offer help? I work out of my home office and will kill myself it I can't enjoy my music (yes, the work is that boring!).
Thanks!

The uninstall, reinstall, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, reformat, is valid problem solving advice for a PC but is seldom the best first approach for a Mac. Note this message is in the Using iTunes for Mac section.

Bc4j:RowScope on a Master Detail page always returns 0 rows for detail

Hi,
I have a problem with a Master Detail page that is called from another page. The Master Detail page has two View Objects, Budgets and Budget Versions. These are linked properly in BC4J and when I use these VOs together I can navigate through the Budgets (master) and the Budget Versions (details) are populated correctly.
However, I want to navigate to this page from another page which lists all possible Budgets. I pass the key of the selected Budget to the Master Detail page and the correct Budget is displayed, BUT the Budget Versions are NOT displayed - I get 0 rows returned.
The mechanism I use to pass the selected Budget ID to my Master Detail page is:
<ctrl:property name="key">
<ctrl:selection name="ViewTable" key="key"/>
</ctrl:property>
My BC4J Registry is set up as follows:
<bc4j:registryDef>
<bc4j:rootAppModuleDef name="BudgetModule"
defFullName="BudgetPackage.BudgetPackageModule"
configName="BudgetPackageModuleLocal"
releaseMode="stateful">
<bc4j:viewObjectDef name="ItiBudgetsView1">
<bc4j:rowDef name="CurrentBudgetRow" usesCurrency="True">
<bc4j:propertyKey name="key"/>
</bc4j:rowDef>
</bc4j:viewObjectDef>
<bc4j:viewObjectDef name="ItiBudgetVersionsView2" rangeSize="15"/>
</bc4j:rootAppModuleDef>
</bc4j:registryDef>
I then use
<bc4j:rowScope name="CurrentBudgetRow">
to get the correct Budget row in my master VO. But this always returns 0 rows in my detail VO. If I comment out the rowScope element, I don't get the desired Budget row, but I do get the correct Budget Version rows displayed. Is the rowScope element on the Budget VO interfering with the Budget Version VO?
Hope this is not too confusing!!
Thanks,
Steve

Steve,
I tried to create a comparable set of two pages and initially ran into the same problem. I just realized that my issue (which I hope is yours too) is that the rootAppModule name was different across my two pages. This led to each page having its own application module instance, so the currency was different on each page.
By changing all of my pages to use the same application module name (in the registryDef, in the appModuleScope tags in the page, and in the findAppModule tags in the handlers), I resolved this problem.
My event handler to go to the master/detail page from the master page, FYI, looks like this:
<event name="details" >
   <bc4j:findRootAppModule name="MyApp" >
    
    <bc4j:findViewObject name="CustomersView1" >
     
     <bc4j:findRowByKey>
      <bc4j:keyBinding>
       <bc4j:selectionKey name="viewTable" key="key" />
      </bc4j:keyBinding>
     </bc4j:findRowByKey>
    </bc4j:findViewObject>
    <bc4j:executeQuery />
    <go name="OrdersByCustomer_View" redirect="true" />
   </bc4j:findRootAppModule>
</event>Hope this helps.
