ITunes 7 - can't rate by trackpad click
I have a PowerBook and have the trackpad configured to allow clicks. This used to work in all areas of iTunes. Now with 7, it seems to work in all but one. To rate a song I have to click on a star with the hardware button, I can't set it by tapping the trackpad (which does work for seemingly everything else in iTunes). Setting "Ignore accidental trackpad input" doesn't seem to make a difference.
you're right, this is definitely a change.
I have to click the trackpad button, I can't tap the trackpad area to set the rating. I thought tapping and clicking the button were supposed to be identical, bizarre.

since I upgraded to 7.0.1.8, I can't rate songs by clicking in the my rating column. Have to instead right click and use the myratig sub menu. What a pain in the arse! anyone know how to fix this?
- Go to the iTunes music store.
- Click on the 'Quick Link' to i"Tunes Plus" (upper right hand side)
- Upper right hand top should have a box "Upgrade My Library"
- Click the "See Details" button for your list of presently upgradeable tunes
Presently, you have to buy all or none. I believe the only way to upgrade specific songs (at the moment) is to temporarily remove the ones that you don't want/need to upgrade from your iTunes library before going to the store.
Sorry for the dumb question but can someone point me
in the right direction on how I go about upgrading
specific songs that I've purchased?
I don't use itunes store all that much!
Thanks,
Steve. -
I recently had to install a new hard drive in my computer. This caused me to have to reload all content back to my iTunes and iPod. I have many apps on my iPod and i don't know how to transfer those back to my iTunes. Can anyone help?
Right clicking on your ipod in the device list an d choosing "transfer purchases" will copy apps and bought media from iTunes to your computer. Due to the new iTunes library on your new HD, iTunes will erase your ipod during the first sync. To save your data to the computer take a look at this article about saving data from your device to a computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Basically it's backing up manually, transferring her purchases (apps and bought music), letting iTunes erase the ipod due to the new iTunes library, and restoring from the manual backup again, to get all the data and settings back.
Make sure your new computer account is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0 -
Hi. I have an ipod 7th Gen. Whenever i rate a song from ipod, when i connect my ipod to my pc i see that another different song is rated on itunes. Can you help me with it? or what causes this problem?
Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

When I click on any of my movie or TV shows in Itunes I immediately get an error message that says Itunes has stopped working and closes the program. I can sync the movies and shows to my phone okay but I can't watch on Itunes. Can anyone help?

When I tried to update my iPad I got an error 9. Now, I am unable to access my iPad. It is in a continuous cycle when I try to update or restore the iPad 2. Plug in to iTunes 12.0.1 (latest version). Click update, told can't update, have to restore. Restore fails with error 9. Any help appreciated.
Here's the cycle:
I plug in my iPad when “cable to iTunes shows on iPad screen. It says "Your iPad can't be updated, you must restore it to factory settings." That bad enough news, but it gets worse.
Click Restore
Extracting software…
Preparing iPad for restore
Waiting for iPad…
Verifying iPad restore with Apple…
(empty bar under the Apple logo…does not show any activity)
“The iPad “iPad” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).”
Notes: I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on my iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) in the last week. It’s the first time I’m tried to backup/update my iPad since the iMac update.
I swapped out the USB cable to a new cable and get the same results.
I also unplugged all other USB devices from the iMac and security on my iPad and still get the same results.
I find it strange that it shows no Serial number for my my iPad 2 when plugged in. It shows “Serial Number: n/a on the screen when it displays: “iPad Recovery Mode To update your iPad without erasing its contents, click Update. To restore your iPad to its factory settings, click Restore iPad.
I prefer to update my iPad, but it displays “Your iPad can’t be updated, you must restore it to factory settings. If you previously backed up the iPad, click Restore Backup after the restore process completes.”
It’s a continuous loop. I get the display on my iPad to plug in the iPad to iTunes, plug it in which ends after going through the above procedure saying an error occurred (9).
So now I cannot use my iPad. When I turn it on I get the display showing me to plug it into iTunes with the cable. Since this is the only option I have I plug it in and the loop begins.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!Hello jaybearden,

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone. I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added. So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them? It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

In VIEWING (to print) my iTunes music (in finder), how can i view subfolders without clicking on the triangle of each main folder?
I am trying to print a list of all my music. For example, main folder is BEATLES. Subfolders are Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, etc...
and I want to view and print all the subfolders. This is a recovery project after my hard drive failed. I know this is truly a "finder" question and will double post there.
Thanks.

I would like to sync ITUNES to my IPOD. When I click on devices the sync is greyed out. can anyone help. I am running Windows 8
You need to select your iPod in iTunes. The command (from the menu bar?) is disabled because you have not selected a device for which the command is applicable.
The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar. To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. In the sidebar, find and select the iPod under DEVICES.
Once the iPod is selected, you can select the Sync command under File -> Devices in the menu bar. You can also just click the Sync button at the bottom left corner of the iTunes window (when the iPod is selected). -
I updated the latest version of iTunes today and it has a new look. That's fine but I can't see where to click to synch my ipod after downloading music or podcasts. It was always easy.
It might make it much easier on you if you enable the sidebar in iTunes. Launch iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar. With iTunes set up like that, it should look a lot more familiar to you. You can select your device name under the devices heading and then go through all of the iTunes panes by clicking on them at the top of the iTunes Window.
My screenshot shows my iPad, but it works the same way with an iPod. -
IBook trackpad clicker is messed up... How can I fix it???
Sometime between the time I received my iBook G4 and now, the trackpad clicker got messed up. I have to press down on it really hard to get it to click, instead of just pressing gently on it. Anybody know how I can fix it?
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Assuming you have not been eating or drinking around it, check your Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse settings for the Trackpad to make sure the clicking speed is set the way you want it.
Adding a third party mouse could affect the responsiveness of the trackpad.
If you have been eating or drinking around it, or it has been a bag not clear of lint, something might have gotten between the trackpad cracks and caused a short. You can always add a mouse or external trackpad if you suspect this has happened. I would not open the case yourself, however, if you want an authorized service technician to take a look to see nothing is loose or causing a problem inside, they might be able to help you out. As long as the machine is under a year old, if you haven't purchased AppleCare, I recommend you do, which you still can. -

My new, White MacBook 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo is pretty sweet, but something is not right with "clicking" enabled on the trackpad.
Try this, MacBook brethren: Enable trackpad clicking. Open Safari and use trackpad to position your arrow upon Safari's "down" scrolling arrow at the bottom right of the Safari window. Now, use trackpad clicking three or four times in succession, at a steady rate, to scroll down the web page. Does your mouse arrow jitter off of the scroll arrow forcing you to reposition your mouse arrow over the scroll arrow again? This is happening to me. Double clicking, too, causes the mouse arrow to jump, usually to the left a bit. Not a big problem, most of the time, but if you are scrolling and want to watch the window content while you click, this "track pad" jitter is very, very frustrating.
Please advise what you get, thanks!
STEVEHey Steve,
I've had the clicking feature turned off, b/c it kept interfering with selecting text on accidental double clicks. I turned it back on and tried what you did, and mine has the tendency to go all over the place when clicking multiple times in succession.
This is because I probably am not clicking the same exact spot every time, causing the mouse to move ever so slightly. If you turn on two finger scrolling, you can scroll through any document or web page without having to click the mousepad; it's a very nice feature and I'd strongly recommend to use this instead of clicking, because it's just so convenient. I use the button on the trackpad for clicking, because I got fed up with the accidental input when I tried to use the trackpad to scroll.

I am trying to open iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and am getting the following message...the itunes library can not be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder. Any ideas?
Let's try this first. Hold down the Shift key while you try to launch iTunes. You should eventually see the following dialog:
Click "Choose library". Browse to inside the following location (depending on what operating system you're running):
Operating System
Default location of iTunes library
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
... and open the iTunes library you find in there.
