ITunes 12 UI bug: Missing repeat button

I already submitted a bug report to Apple about this but I wanted to confirm with others that in iTunes 12, the repeat control button is missing from next to the shuffle control button at the top.
See this screenshot:

I'm afraid it's not a bug but a bad choice of changing the interface. If you right-click on the shuffle icon, you open a menu you can activate repeat.
The blue repeat sign just gives you info you are in repeat-mode.
So they have made "repeat" a sort of hidden feature you might, or might not, stumble upon (who thinks of right clicking a shuffle-button FCOL)

ITunes 10.6.1 Update button for iOS update does not work (a bug)

iTunes 10.6.1 Update button on iOS device Summary / Version page does not update devices. It only checks the iTunes version!
With iTunes 10.6.1, connect an iPad, iPhone, iPod running pre-6 iOS version.
On iPad Summary / Version page, next to [Update] button the message says:
"A newer version of the iPad software is available (version 6.0). To update your iPad with the latest software, click Update."
However, clicking the [Update] button will not start update iPad. Instead it gives you a dialog saying:
"This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version".
Obviously it should start updating the i-device there but instead just goes and check the iTunes version ?!?
A Bug!
What's really annoying in this bug is that it's the only way to update pre iOS 5.x devices, which is now impossible!
Apple should get this fixed asap!
Anyone found any workarounds?
[Edit]: There seems to be another discussion of this issue already:

Just forgot to add, yes, I know there's iTunes 10.7 but it's only available on Snow Leopard and higher.
The machine in question is an old macbook, running Leopard (10.5.8), that it will propably never get upgraded.
Since most my older i-devices were initially synced with that particular machine, I'll be now stuck with iOS updates, without loosing content.

Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet thos albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop but none of the others. What's happening?

Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet ONLY those albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop after being dragged there but none of the others. What's happening?
I've read some of the post here that I thought might help but they refer to titles (Music) and triangles in the "Devices" window which are nowhere to be seen when I open the "Devices" window.
I have iTunes 11.0.3 and Mac OS 10.6.8. Does this make a difference?

I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

I can't find the "Repeat" button in my Itunes.

I can't find the "Repeat" button in my Itunes, when I'm listenning to a music. I have reinstaled my Itunes, it didn't help.

You can access the repeat options if you right-click on the shuffle icon, or if menus are enabled you can use
Controls > Repeat > Off | All | One.
Once the control is visible you can click it to switch between states as before. If the control is turned to off it disappears on the next track change. In contrast the shuffle control remains visible whenever it is appropriate. Hopefully the next release will fix this.

ITunes 11 / where is the repeat button in Mac version?

In iTunes previous versions, there was a repeat-play button (it toggled: repeat track or repeat entire playlist or don't repeat) down at the bottom of the source panel, same general area as the shuffle button.    Now the shuffle button is up by the playlist title (and it doesn't cause the main window display order to resequence any more, which is ABSURD), and the repeat button is nowhere to be found as far as I can tell.
In the latest version for iOS of iTunes, there is still a functional repeat button on the artwork view of a currently playing track. It will definitely repeat one track, I'm not sure what the toggle to repeat does if it's turned while a playlist of multiple albums is playing.
Anyway what happened to the repeat functions in iTunes 11??     They seem to have vanished from the Mac version at least.
And what's with the lack of "what you see is what you get" when you turn shuffle on in iTunes 11, and the main window display doesn't update to reflect the new sequence of play?   Why should we have to look up in that UpNext thing to see what the shuffled order of play is?!

Hi, I don't have any in 10.4.11 either.

Repeat button on itouch missing. Songs are on repeat

The songs on my itouch are on repeat and the repeat button is missing. Shuffle button seems to be working but the songs keep on going into repeat mode

There seems to be no answer to this on the web, so hopefully Google will home in on this thread for all the poor folks going crazy trying to figure this out.
Problem:
Can't find repeat and shuffle buttons on iPod app in iPad.
Solution:
Shuffle and Repeat do not show up when playing podcasts (and perhaps some other media types). They do show up when playing music. Even though it affects podcasts, you have to play a song in order to change it.
So to adjust the settings when listening to podcasts you must:
1. Stop the podcast
2. Select Music from the Library on the left column
3. Start any song playing
4. Tap the album artwork under Now Playing in the left column
5. Tap the full screen album artwork to show the controls
6. Find the repeat and shuffle controls at opposite ends of the playing progress bar toward the top, and adjust as necessary
7. Navigate back to your podcasts and start the podcast again
Hope this helps everyone else from going crazy.

Possible bug - Missing click event when handling change event

Using Flex 4.5 SDK, I have a spark ComboBox and a Button next to it for applying a filter according to ComboBox selection.
I listen to both the ComboBox's change event & the Button's click event (for different functions).
When I manually delete the ComboBox text value from its TextInput (i.e. changing selected index to -1) and immediately click on the Button,
the click event-handler function is not being called and only the ComboBox's change event-handler function is executed.
(Selecting a value from the ComboBox's list and clicking on the button triggers both methods on the right order.)
There's also a state definition for the module, but it isn't being changed during these operations...
Is this a bug or a correct behavior? Am I missing something here?
Any workaround suggestions?
(I thought of listening also to mouse-down or mouse-up on the button instead, but haven't tried it yet...)
*** UPDATE ***
When using the Button's mouseDown event the behavior is as expected, so there's a simple workaround.
However, it seems to me like there's a bug with the Button's click event listener or something...
*** UPDATE #2 ***
I created a test application for that and couldn't reproduce the problem.
Then I figured out the problem and solved it.
It's a bit emmbarrasing, but I actually disabled the button (enabled=false) as in a child method of the change handling code...
(If there is no value, don't allow applying the filter - It makes sense! )
Anyway... No issue after all.
However, I choose to leave this post (and not delete it) as an example of identifying and resolving a strange behavior in a complex application.

There's no need.
Please read the section UPDATE #2.

IOS 5 - No repeat button and no shuffle button either

I can't seem to find the repeat button or shuffle button on my iPad. I get a previous, play/pause, next button at the top left, a volume control at the top right and a play marker in the centre that also shows the title. That's it.
Don't say that Apple have removed these functions. They are still in the user guide on the iPad, but they aren't being shown.

I've found that music ripped with iTunes 10.5 and synced to the iPad will allow the shuffle and repeat buttons to appear; I've just imported a CD I received a couple of days ago and it's fine. Anything ripped with a previous version of iTunes and the iPad hides the shuffle and repeat buttons.
However, shuffle stays enabled even when it isn't being displayed, so it's not a huge problem. I just enable it when it's visible, move to another album and the iPad shuffle-plays.

Cannot update individual pocasts, iTunes 9 bug

Hi all, I think I have found an iTunes 9 bug
when I go to my podcast list in iTunes, usually I can right click on a podcast and get a long list of options including "Update Podcast" and "Show all available episodes" etc
however if I do this with a podcast that is currently empty, has no downloaded episodes etc, all I get in the drop down list is "Show Description" and Delete"?
so now I can only update a podcast if there is already an episode downloaded for that podcast?
annoying bug, can anyone else replicate this?
ps. obviously the Refresh button at the bottom will update all of the podcasts, but sometimes its nice to just refresh one or two individual shows

I am also experiencing this same issue. I cannot "Update Podcast" for individual podcasts that are empty.
The only workaround I've found is to re-subscribe to an empty podcast, download a file, and then make sure I keep at least one.
Not ideal, so I hope Apple provides a fix.

Missing 'group' button

I'm using a trial version of '09. Everything ran smoothly until I noticed that the 'group' button was no longer available - it's simply not there. The last action was 'Edit - Special Characters...' but I don't know for sure if this is relevant. Quit - relaunch - same problem. Tried to open that file in '08 - "file corrupt". Carried on working on the file in '09 and I'm limping along.
However - just noticed that '08 is now missing 'group' button too! Time to try a reboot (pretty rare event).

OK ... so I've just found out how to add the group button back to the toolbar - but the fact remains that I'm sure I didn't remove it in the first place. Answered, but possible bug?

HT203167 A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV.

A movie I purchased in the iTunes store is missing. It isn't hidden and doesn't show up in search. I've followed support steps. Where is it and how do I find it? I believe I originally purchased the film on my 1st Gen AppleTV...other movies show up. Help.

It was Love Actually. It's been in my library a few years but is now missing. It's odd...it isn't even in the iTunes Store anymore. I think there is a rights issue because a message appeared in the store saying it wasn't available at this time in the U. S. store. Still, if I bought it years ago it should be in my library or I should get a refund....

My iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each one upon reinstalling the backup copy? Thank you for help

Almost my iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. (the last 2.5 weeks worth of added music has transferred post-upgrade, none of whcih was bought from iTunes)
I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each playlist upon reinstalling the backup copy? This would save a HUGE amount of time and efforts. Thank you for your help!

hi Limnos,
I do not mean the entire ITunes folder but, rather, the contents of the ITunes folder prior to September 29th. (90% of the media is missing, along with all playlists) The media that remains says it was added on 9/29 although I know most of it was added many months or even years earlier. There are no playlists listed at all, before or after 9/29. (I know for certain that I added non-iTunes purchased songs on 10/6 although I had not created playlists for them)
I have my iTunes folder backed up on both an external drive as well as Time Machine.
I run iTunes off of an ITunes folder on my computer rather than from the external, if that's what you mean about how I have it set up.
Is it OK to drag the entire iTunes folder from the external drive onto my laptop's drive and see if that fixes it?
Thank you for your help!

TS4062 I can't sync music on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. Suggestions?

I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device. I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy! Thanks for any help you can offer.

This is correct. It will not show in finder. It is not an external storage device.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

I did that and I still get the same message. What am I doing wrong

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
