ITunes 11 Get Info box lost "Next" & "Previous" buttons.

Without reverting to the previous version — how would I do that? — can I get back these features which were integral to my mode of editing track information?

While this does solved this problem, I do not understand dat Apple is blind to this issue. This is really not user friendly behaviour and not well thought through by the Apple designer(s).

I cannot find the next and previous button in iTunes get info menu?
Is there anyone that has also experienced this problem that can help me please
I have the lates version of Itunes

I have managed to figure out how to solve this problem, after looking around I saw a lot of people kept saying makesure it is list view however this still did not work, I found the only way for me get these buttons back was to change the Movie to a TV Show and only then did the "Next" and "Previous" button appear. Right Click> Get Info > Options > Media Kind and then Select TV Show, this is extremely inconvienent but the only way that I found that has worked so far.
Hope this works for you too!!

What happened to the next/previous buttons in Get Info?

I am trying to edit a number of movie files and in the past I was able to quickly scroll through different files in Get Info with the Next and Previous buttons (or by using Command-N and Command-P). Those buttons and their keyboard shortcuts have recently disappeared?
Has anybody else noticed this? Is there a reason? A way to bring them back?

I just did a little more digging. They are there for TV Shows and Music, but not for movies.

Can't get Next/Previous Buttons to work

Hi,
I am trying to get the next/previous buttons to work on my jsp page. I have collected data from a resultset and stored it in an arrayList. My problem is that I am getting a null pointer exception when I try to display the jsp. I have a one to many relationship 1 company to many contracts and want to be able to go backwards and forwards through the contracts using the previous/next buttons. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Below is my code:

ITunes 11: Next/Previous buttons in Grid View

Clicking on the next/previous buttons in list view work as expected, i.e. the next or previous song plays! However, in Grid View, the playlist just stops completely when I click next or previous!! Why doesn't iTunes play the next song in the playlist while in Grid view?

Actually, I stand corrected. If I start playing a playlist while in List View, then switch to Grid View while that song is playing, and then hit next, it works fine. But if I'm already in Grid View, double click to start playing a new song, then hit next, the playlist just stops completely.

Keyboard shortcuts and tabs with get info box

I'm having several problems with the new get info box - and regret that I can no longer bring up the old version with the shift/right-click/get-info command.
1) No keyboard shortcut to advance from one track to the next, from inside the Get Info box. This used to be handled with Alt-N or Alt-P for Next and Previous. Now it seems to require mouse click on the error.
2) When tabbing through fields, it skips fields toward the bottom (album artist)
3) For works with the same title (most of my library is classical), I've tended to organize them by adding an extra space at the end of the Album line for the 2nd work with that title, or an extra two spaces for the 3rd work with that same title. This way they sort as distinct albums, since most works have multiple tracks. With the new Get Info, if I enter that extra space on the field in the box, it cuts it off when clicking ok. But if I just F2 the field on itunes list view, I can add it with no problem. This is a pain because I have to do it one track at a time, can't do it for multiple tracks at once.

The functions printed in small letters on those keys are accessed by the fn key.
The following work on my MBP (albeit using Word 2008, but IIRC the same shortcuts worked in Word 2004):
Jump to start of document = Command-Fn-LeftArrow (aka Command-Home)
Jump to end of document = Command-Fn-RightArrow (aka Command-End)
Likewise,
Jump to start of line = Fn-LeftArrow
Jump to end of line = Fn-RightArrow
Page Up = Fn-UpArrow
Page Down = Fn-DownArrow
In this one (exceedingly rare) instance, Niel is incorrect.

Why can't I edit in the Get Info boxes?

I have just recently done a re and re on my laptop and gone to Windows 8. I have transfered over my music to iTunes, but now I can't edit any information in the Get Info boxes as they are all grayed out. Can someone help me with this, please?
Thanks

I've cleared almost 30 gig off of my hard drive in the past 2 weeks, and it will temporarily show that in the Get Info box. But hours later, I am still getting a disk full error and all of the memory has disappeared.

Any ideas on what to do next?
I'm running and iMac 20-inch early 2009
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)

Step 1
Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
Step 2
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash as well:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How can i create an album with chose category list and next/previous button

hello guys im working on a project for my uni i finished the whole website but one thing is missing
i need to create a photo album with next and previous button, with choosing a category and inside each category i have like 5 pictures and i can change with the next/previous buttons to see another picture of the same category.
Please see the picture below to see what i mean.
some told me it needs flash but i dont know how to work on it :S so plz if anyone can help me
thank you

Dear Mr. Murphy,
thank you for your help.
Actually i have tried to search for a tutorial and i found that one that was very helpful and gave me the half solution. the part i found and it worked with me is the part of the next and previous buttons and moving from an image to another.
SO the part i still need is the list so when i click on a category i get the pictures of the chosen category, I had the idea of create a flash for each category alone and maybe i will be able to add them all together.
But i guess it's too much work and there must be a way where i can make it all in one flash file.
If you have any idea let me know please, thank you again for your help and i'm trying to search for the AS3 image gallery as you told me.
Regards

Next previous button in gallery

Hi guys, been a while, hope everyone is well. I am having a problem implementing a next/previous button on an image once it has been enlarged in my gallery. I have done it in pure as3 but all tutorials seem to use the timeline. I will post my code underneath so you can see what I am up too. The next/previous button should I think be added to the modelClicked function.
From what I understand, I will get a next/previous button and turn them into a button object. I will then delete them from my stage and instantiate them within the class below. I would then add them to the modelClicked function with events tied to them. What should I then do in these events to make it fit in with the code below?
Any advise appreciated,
Cheers
Nick

I don't actually know how you're loading your data. It's also very difficult to figure out what's happening in your code, since you're extending Classes you don't show. What I can tell you is that you need to store the data about iterating each collection at the level where it's needed. You may want to look at the composite pattern http://www.as3dp.com/2007/05/composite-pattern-book-part-1/ .
In my opinion, the biggest problem you have is poor separation of concerns--you call things Models that are clearly Views, and because you are storing relevant data in Views rather than simply using your Views to represent data, you're making the task of representing and iterating through your data much harder than it needs to be.
The ideal structure would be a data structure that has data for each thumbnail in some sort of collection, like an Array or Vector. This data structure would only be responsible for storing the data and maintaining a pointer to the currently selected thumbnail. When the pointer changes, the data object dispatches a change event, so Views that care about this pointer can update. Each piece of data could then have a member variable that is one of these collections that manages the correct pointer. That's where the composite pattern comes in.
Now, the task of building your Views becomes much easier. You have one View that gets a collection and shows all the thumbnails and one View that gets a specific thumbnail, mix and match as needed. The Views, again watch the change event and do whatever they need to do when the pointer changes.
At this point, who sets the pointer ceases to matter. It can be inside one of your Views or outside any of your Views--when the pointer changes, the View that is watching that particular collection will update, and if the result of that update is that a nested View then watches a different collection, that's ok--it still follows the same principles.

Creating next/previous buttons problem

I am creating next & previous buttons on my main scene. I have created a scrolling photo gallery as well as a random button to randomly select images. I have a photos layer that has 15 images tagged in the AS "img1" "img2"....hopefully this all makes sense so far.
What script can I use to easily create a next_btn. This is what I currently have
next_btn.onRelease = function() {
    photos.gotoAndStop("img"+1);
    photos.fader.gotoAndPlay(2);
"img"+1 goes to the "img1" however I would like it to go to the next img instead of always go to img1. I've tried _currentframe+10 (images are 10 frames apart) and some others but cannot seem to get it to work.
I would like this to work along with the random button so that when a random image is clicked, the person can click the next button and get to the next image.
Current script in...
random_btn.onRelease = function(){
    var picNum:Number
    picNum = Math.ceil(Math.random()*15);
    photos.gotoAndStop("img"+picNum);
    photos.fader.gotoAndPlay(2);
next_btn.onRelease = function() {
    photos.gotoAndStop("img"+1);
    photos.fader.gotoAndPlay(2);
if you need any clarification let me know! thanks!

i'll try to explain this simplier.
scene 1 (layers)
inside layers
AS
next back btn
random btn
photos
displays images when clicked on from photo gallery
scrolling photo gallery
photo gallery + buttons for gallery
i'm looking to create a simple < > prev and next image buttons.
My current script from above (original post) hasn't worked out.
random_btn.onRelease = function(){
    var picNum:Number
    picNum = Math.ceil(Math.random()*15);
    photos.gotoAndStop("img"+picNum);
    photos.fader.gotoAndPlay(2);
next_btn.onRelease = function() {
    photos.gotoAndStop(picNum+1);
    photos.fader.gotoAndPlay(2);
I'll take out the random_btn if need be to create just a regular next button and previous button. (i'll worry about tracking the scrolling image gallery later...one issue at a time)
Thanks again.

Xml gallery with thumbnails & next/previous buttons.

hallo all the wise people,
sorry to bother you, but i'm kind of desperate, and nobody around to ask, so....
i've spend now three full days editing an xml gallery... to my needs, and always goes messy, so maybe it's time give up and make my own from the scratch, or looking from a one closer to my needs =/ (helpless).
could anyone help - maybe any of you by some chance knows a link as close as possible to tutorial/source as3 fla to sthg as close as possible to this:
a) xml gallery
b) thumbnails
c) when thumbnail clicked a big picture shows
d) next/previous buttons possible
otherwise, i can also post the code of my gallery where i absolutely can't add next/previous buttons without making a big mess =/
i will be totally youbie doubie grateful for any help... any, if you only know any good link, 'll try to fugure out a tutorial or edit the source myself....
thanks in advance

heyyyo wise one,
at least this is really nice of you to ask - this gallery really makes me by now feel twice as blond as i am 8-0. but this is kinda really nested.
the xml structure goes like this (this is easy and more or, less standard)(Caption is neglectable, probabaly i will not even display it, unless i have some extra time):
<MenuItem>
         <picnum>01</picnum>
         <thumb>thumbs/Image00001.jpg</thumb>
         <picture>Image00001.jpg</picture>
   <Caption>Fist Title</Caption>
</MenuItem>
uaaha, then the as goes. there is the URLloader, but also two different loaders inside (one for the thumbnails, one for the big picture). and this is all inside a for each loop -eh... i was always trying to change the pictLdr behavior - the loader, that loads the big picture.
anyway the URL loader, and the main function, which is attached to it go like this:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "gallery_config.xml";
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);
// Create the xmlLoaded function
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
// Place the xml data into the myXML object
    myXML = XML(myLoader.data);
    // Initialize and give var name to the new external XMLDocument
var xmlDoc:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument();
// Ignore spacing around nodes
    xmlDoc.ignoreWhite = true;
// Define a new name for the loaded XML that is the data in myLoader
    var menuXML:XML = XML(myLoader.data);
// Parse the XML data into a readable format
    xmlDoc.parseXML(menuXML.toXMLString());
    // Access the value of the "galleryFolder" node in our external XML file
for each (var galleryFolder:XML in myXML..galleryFolder)
   // Access the value of the "pagenum" node in our external XML file
           var galleryDir:String = galleryFolder.toString();
//trace (galleryDir);
//trace (galleryFolder);//output taki sam jak powyżej
// inicjuję variable flag, która bedzie trzsymac nazwę klikniętego thumbnail
var flag2:String = null;
// Set the index number of our loop, increments automatically
var i:Number = 0;
// Run the "for each" loop to iterate through all of the menu items listed in the external XML file
for each (var MenuItem:XML in myXML..MenuItem)
// Access the value of the "picnum" node in our external XML file
    var picnum:String = MenuItem.picnum.toString();
// Access the value of the "pagetext" node in our external XML file
    var Caption:String = MenuItem.Caption.toString();
// Access the value of the "thumb" node in our external XML file
    var thumb:String = MenuItem.thumb.toString();
// Access the value of the "pagepicture" node in our external XML file
    var picture:String = MenuItem.picture.toString();
// Just some trace I used for testing, tracing helps debug and fix errors
//trace(picnum);
var thumbLdr:Loader = new Loader();
    var thumbURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(galleryDir + thumb);
    thumbLdr.load(thumbURLReq);
// Create MovieClip holder for each thumb
var thumb_mc = new MovieClip();
thumb_mc.addChild(thumbLdr);
addChildAt(thumb_mc, 1);
// Create the rectangle used for the clickable button we will place over each thumb
var rect:Shape = new Shape;
rect.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
rect.graphics.lineStyle(1, 0x999999);
rect.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 80, 80);
// Create MovieClip holder for each button, and put that rectangle in it,
// make button mode true and set it to invisible
var clip_mc = new MovieClip();
clip_mc.addChild(rect);
addChild(clip_mc);
clip_mc.buttonMode = true;
clip_mc.alpha = .0;
     // The following four conditionals create the images where the images will live on stage
// by adjusting math through each row we make sure they are laid out good and not stacked
// all on top of one another, or spread out in one long row, we need 4 rows, so the math follows
if (picnum < "05")
       line1xpos = line1xpos + distance; // These lines place row 1 on stage
    clip_mc.x = line1xpos;
    clip_mc.y = yPlacement;
    thumb_mc.x = line1xpos;
    thumb_mc.y = yPlacement;
   else if (picnum > "04" && picnum < "11")
    line2xpos = line2xpos + distance; // These lines place row 2 on stage
    clip_mc.x = line2xpos;
    clip_mc.y = 86;
    thumb_mc.x = line2xpos;
    thumb_mc.y = 86;
   else if (picnum > "10" && picnum < "14")
    line3xpos = line3xpos + distance; // These lines place row 3 on stage
    clip_mc.x = line3xpos;
    clip_mc.y = 172;
    thumb_mc.x = line3xpos;
    thumb_mc.y = 172;
   else if (picnum > "13" && picnum < "21")
   line4xpos = line4xpos + distance; // These lines place row 4 on stage
   clip_mc.x = line4xpos;
   clip_mc.y = 258;
   thumb_mc.x = line4xpos;
   thumb_mc.y = 258;
   // And now we create the pic loader for the larger images, and load it into "pictLdr"
   var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();
   var pictURL:String = picture;
      var pictURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(galleryDir + picture);
   //var pictURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("gallery/Image00004.jpg");sprawia,ze zawsze wyswitla sie jeden obrazek
      pictLdr.load(pictURLReq);
   // Access the pic value and ready it for setting up the Click listener, and function
      clip_mc.clickToPic = pictLdr;
   // Access the text value and ready it for setting up the Click listener, and function
   clip_mc.clickToText = Caption;
   //var instName:String = flag();
   // Add the mouse event listener to the moviClip button for clicking
      clip_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, clipClick);
      // Set the function for what happens when that button gets clicked
   function clipClick(e:Event):void
     // Populate the parent clip named frameSlide with all of the necessary data
     MovieClip(parent).frameSlide.gotoAndPlay("show"); // Makes it appear(slide down)
     MovieClip(parent).frameSlide.caption_txt.text = e.target.clickToText; // Adds the caption
     MovieClip(parent).frameSlide.frame_mc.addChild(e.target.clickToPic); // Adds the big pic
   } // This closes the "for each" loop
} // And this closes the xmlLoaded function
and the effect looks like this (it's a sketch, so big pictures are loaded randomly, don;t put too much attention to it): http://bangbangdesign.pl/xmlGallery/gallery29.swf
but i guess it's a terrible stuff to go through all this. i would be totallly satisfied with a likng to a good tutorial to do it from scratch, or just a hint where to start rebuilding this.
+ in any case i send greetinngs to whereever you are =]

How do I change default Next/Previous buttons?

When I automatically create multiple Submenus using the 'Create Chapter Index' command, Encore generates Next and Previous buttons.
These are rather plain - they seem to be the same style regardless of the style of menu selected - and I'd like to set another default style.
Can someone tell me how to do this, please?
Many thanks
John

You can build the next/previous buttons any way you like. Just put them on the menu and then specify them as "Next" or "Previous" under the type field in the properties box. There's more information about this in the help files under chapter menu automation.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes, I did try with Xperia Z3 and it works fine for me. If you have tried safe mode, you should perhaps try a software repair on your phone via PC Companion to see if this can help:
