Itunes 13 Composer view and search is corrupt

When I search by composer and highlight a composer down the left hand side list, sometimes the listed tracks are correct, more often than not they are completely unrelated to the selected composer. The only way to get it to search is by typing the composer into the 'search music'  field in the top right hand corner. Then trying to edit a composer's name over a group of albums by selecting the composer then 'Command I' (get info), after adding the relevant text the edit will sometimes take and sometimes crash the programme.
There seems to be a real problem with this part of itunes.

No one else has this issue? No advice on cache files perhaps or plist files to move out of the iTunes folders?

  • Embedding tags in files for viewing and searching in other software

    Hi,
    I'm a bit confused about how tags are associated with files.  I recently transferred all my photos to a new computer and lost some, but not all, the tags I had added to my photos within Elements Organiser.  I am in the process of archiving all my old family photos by scanning slides, negatives and prints. I'm working on a Windows computer.  Most are being saved as TIFFs but I also have JPEGs and RAW files.  I want future generations of my family to be able to search these photos by using first name tags for example.  They may not have Photoshop.  My daughter uses a Mac and different software.
    I see that under the File menu there is an option 'write keyword tags and property info to photo'.  Will this save this info so that it can be found and searched in other types of software?  If so, does this apply to all types of photo files?
    And another quick similar question - when I change the date of the photo under the thumbnail in Organiser is this saved to the file?
    Thnaks for any help you can give me.
    Stuart Logan

    I think you are confusing the value and purpose of JPGs vs TIFFs vs RAWs.
    You always (that's always) save your originals. These are either the photos straight out of the camera, or straight out of the scanner. You may choose to make other versions of these photos for other purposes.
    So ... keep your originals. Keep your edited versions. When you need to send photos to somewhere else, you can make JPGs of them, and send them (after which time you could delete the JPGs if you want). If space is a problem, the generally accepted wisdom is that hard disk space is cheap, that 1 terabyte hard drive are well under 100 dollars US; so the optimal strategy is to get extra hard disk space rather than delete the originals.
    Regarding the codecs that enable you to see the RAW photo thumbnails in Windows: these will NOT allow you to see the edits you make in ACR/PSE. Nor does it help to allow you to search for keywords in DNG files. You have hit upon a disadvantage to using DNG versus RAW; if you use RAW, the tags get written to a sidecar (text) file, and these are searchable using Windows. If you use DNG, the tags are embedded into the DNG file, and are not searchable using Windows (although somewhere in the back of my mind, I thought I had heard that you can configure Windows to search for tags in DNG files, but the details, if this is true, escape me).

  • Calendar list view and search go back only 1 year

    I have a new iPhone 4S (IOS5).  Calendar List view shows entries only back to a year ago, yet Day, Month and Week views show all my entries going back to Oct 2008.  Perhaps related:  the monthly views in Reminders also go back just one year.  A friend with an iPhone 4 and upgraded to IOS5 doesn't have this problem (with her Calendar;  I don't know about her Reminders).
    The problem also affects my global (Spotlight) searches as well, so I can't find entries earlier than Oct 2010.  Is there some setting I have that may be causing this?
    I should say that this problem existed for me on my 3G phone that I just replaced with the 4GS.  But all the other Calendar problems I had with the old phone and IOS4 appear to be fixed.  Only the one described above remains.
    One more thing:  My PC is Windows and I don't sync my Calendars with Outlook (or anything else, of course).  When I used to do that I would get duplicate entries and other problems.  (If I need to restore a lost Calendar entry, I'll use my iPhone backup, which runs every night when I sync my phone).
    Is this a known Calendar problem still existing with IOS5?

    FYI for those equally frustrated, I did place this in Feedback - not that it will result in an answer anytime soon. Why don't you do it too - get some momentum on this!

  • ITunes 9 Mini-Player and search option

    Before I downloaded iTunes 9 and was running all my music through iTunes 8, I was able to search for keywords and that became the playlist. I switched to Mini-Player and it continued endlessly through this selected search. I am not able to do that with iTunes 9, I search for songs, switch to Mini-Player and the search somehow escapes itself and starts playing my whole Music listing of songs.
    Is anyone else having this problem?

    I have this issue, both on my computer, and on my girlfriend's Macbook Pro. Prior versions of iTunes would constrain its Shuffle to within my search results when using the Search function in the upper right corner of iTunes. 9.x basically ignores the search results, and shuffles within my entire library. There doesn't seem to be any way to fix it, as there are very limited "shuffle" options in the Controls menu.

  • Composer view - fragmented composer listings

    I am very pleased to have the new Composer view in iTunes 11.0.2 - it is something that I have long wanted for my classical music collection. (so well done Apple).
    However I am frustrated that the listings are fragmented - almost every composer appears 2 or 3 times in the list,  (e.g. Erik Satie; Erik Satie (1866-1925); and Satie,Erik). Some albums atributed to one variant, some to another. How can I easily rationalie this?  To get all of my Satie in one place, and all of my Beethoven in another, for 95 composers.

    iLike you I'm also really happy with composer view
    To answer your question, the composer in the id3 tags need to be exactly the same. For example if you want to keep "Erik Satie (1866-1925)", you need to change "Erik Satie" and "Satie, Erik" to "Erik Satie (1866-1925)"
    This can be done easily by right clicking the composer name that you want to change in the composer view and selecting "Get Info". Copy paste "Erik Satie (1866-1925)" to the composer field and click ok.
    A caveat is that sometimes itunes would selects the currently highlighted composer,instead of the one you right clicked on. Best way to make sure is to just highlight it first, then right click on it. Remember that this process is NOT undoable so be careful not to change say, Erik Saito to Erik Satie.
    If Itunes allows adding thumbnails to composers, I'll be even happier!

  • Just upgraded to 10.7 - cannot play movies or TV programs - iTunes freezes and Windows states iTunes has stopped working and kicks me out - play audio OK, store and synching to devices OK.

    Running Windows Vista Home Premium - Service Pack2
    iTunes has always worked beautifully - opened it yesterday and said upgrade was available so I did and upgrade seemed to be successful - no errors and program launches and all my music, TV programs, Movies, etc, were there. Audio works well.  Tonight I tried to play a movie and got the Windows iTunes has stopped working and searching for solution (which there is none) and closing the warning box closes iTunes.  iTunes used to launch a "separate" black window for my movies/TV - I seemed to get  a black background before everything freezes.  Not happy.  Thanks for any help - I tried to upgrade quicktime just to make sure it wasn't lagging behind the iTunes upgrade but that didn't help.

  • When we go for Views and Function Modules for Generic Extraction

    Hi Experts,
    Can you please explain when we go for extracting the data using Views and when we got using Function Modules using Generic Extraction from R/3 system to BW with examples. And also can you explain when we go for delta for the above both scenarios.
    Thanks for you help in advance

    Hi,
    Scenario for Extarction using FM
    Imagine the scenario where you need to extract data from
    tables having no common field between them and thereby preventing you from creating a view on top of those tables..
    Or simply consider tables that are highly unrelatd in terms of fields, but you have a requiremnt to extract data from them.

  • Diff bt Help view and Maintanence view

    hi gem's
    i need the diff bt Help view and Maintanence view with example...............

    Hi
    The followings are different types of views:
    - Database View (SE11)
    Database views are implement an inner join, that is, only records of the primary table (selected via the join operation) for which the corresponding records of the secondary tables also exist are fetched. Inconsistencies between primary and secondary table could, therefore, lead to a reduced selection set.
    In database views, the join conditions can be formulated using equality relationships between any base fields. In the other types of view, they must be taken from existing foreign keys. That is, tables can only be collected in a maintenance or help view if they are linked to one another via foreign keys.
    - Help View ( SE54)
    Help views are used to output additional information when the online help system is called.
    When the F4 button is pressed for a screen field, a check is first made on whether a matchcode is defined for this field. If this is not the case, the help view is displayed in which the check table of the field is the primary table. Thus, for each table no more than one help view can be created, that is, a table can only be primary table in at most one help view.

    Difference between "Help View" and "Search Help"
    - Projection View
    Projection views are used to suppress or mask certain fields in a table (projection), thus minimizing the number of interfaces. This means that only the data that is actually required is exchanged when the database is accessed.
    A projection view can draw upon only one table. Selection conditions cannot be specified for projection views.
    - Maintenance View ( SE54 )
    Maintenance views enable a business-oriented approach to looking at data, while at the same time, making it possible to maintain the data involved. Data from several tables can be summarized in a maintenance view and maintained collectively via this view. That is, the data is entered via the view and then distributed to the underlying tables by the system.

  • Alphabetical problems with composer view in iTunes?

    I have mostly classical music in my iTunes library and would find the Composer view function really helpful... but it doesn't work properly.
    When I click on a composer within the letter A (Alwyn for example) then it lists all the albums that feature that composer on the right panel - like it should. However, when I carry on and get toward the end of letter B (Britten for example) then it starts to include albums featuring composers who is next alphabetically. And there after the alphabet is messed up.
    So when I click on Scarlatti, the only albums I also see albums featuring Schöenberg, etc. Some Scarlatti albums are also on the previous entry (Sawer). What is going on? And how do I fix it??
    Many thanks.

    .... would find the Composer view function really helpful... but it doesn't work properly.
    Teddy,
    The only view in iTunes that works properly is Songs view (IMHO).  Use Songs view.  Enable the Column Browser, and make sure that Composer is one of the fields.  Click on a composer's name, and you will get an accurate list of tracks for that composer.

  • Is there any possible way to set your itunes to just show the album name without the songs included in the album in artist view. and then be able to select the album to expand all the songs. this would be ideal as I have many albums under certain artists

    I use to use windows media player. The layout was great. It would have icons (one of the album artwork inside the folder) for the artists. you could click on the artist and it would have the icons for all of the albums (similar to itunes) however it would not have all the songs included in that album listed underneath or within it. you had to click on the icon for the album to go into that particular album to view the songs. In my personal opinion this was much easier to search for a particular album especially if you had many albums under one artist as I do. I collect live concert recordings for several particular bands. It would be really nice if itunes would allow you to contract the songs names within each album under artist view and have some way to exand them or open a seperate album folder when clicking on the album name through artist view. is this even possible. does anyone know a way to allow this is happen. you would make a serious music collector very happy. I know this is a crazy request but for people who are serious music collectors like myself with over a TB of music it is much easier to consolidate each individual album under each individual artist for faster searching/viewing needs

    You are describing an iTunes problem, not an iPod touch problem. Try posing in the iTunes forum.

  • Album View and Composer Tab on Music App on IOS7

    The new Music App is not exactly brilliant...
    There are several things what drive me "crazy":
    1. The new Album View doesn't sort the albums alphabetically according the album artist, but by the name of the Album - the former cover flow did that and in itunes you can choose how you do it. Why can't you choose that in IOS7?
    2. You selected a omposer - you go back to the composer list and select another composer - the music app on IOS 7 doesn't show the list of the songs by the new composer, but a mixture of the first selected and the selected composer... (that doesn't happen all the time, but very often) - when I go back to the composer list and select another composer I don't want to see a mixture.
    3. Why are the Musicvideos shown in the Album view shown, too? I would start them via the vide app - how can I get them out of the album view?

    See also this thread with same problem. Looks like a bug wrt. composer/album.
