Itunes 9 two questions

1. Installed but now my background color is white (was black in itunes 8). Any way to change?
2. Lost the "home sharing" icon as I opted out but now my wife wants to put it on her laptop and share. Anyone know how to get that little icon back?

*Found the fix!* (Be sure though to still contact Apple about your displeasure.)
Go here to this kind soul from Deviant Art who has the hack files to return the background to dark charcoal black again!

Be sure to thank him. I followed the instructions, which only took a couple minutes and .......Whoo Hoo!

  • Apple TV/iTunes- Two questions

    Question #1: I have made some updates on meta-data within itunes but the changes don't appear to show up in my Apple TV - this is even after iTunes and computer have been shut down - is there a way to make sure all changes are visible quickly? I do not sync anything to ATV hard-drive - I stream music and videos only.
    Question #2: Might be more an a straight iTunes question but what the heck...."Soundtracks" - when I go to this genre under the Apple TV menu what comes uo next are the artist names - if I want just the Soundtrack title to appear - is it best to change the artist name to the name of the record? Is there a trick to this?

    Hi Winston - please see below:
    1. What changes have you made and how. Changes should show up on a secondary library as soon as you select 'shared movies' etc.
    * Not sure I understand "secondary library" - I only stream so my entire library is in one place. As far as changes, let's use Ratatouille as an example:
    By default the following happens:
    Artist: Michael Giacchino
    Album: Ratatouille
    Album Artist: "blank"
    The above gets filed under "M" for the artist but if you go to "Soundtracks" as a genre - the artist is what appears (or as I've been tinkering the Album Artist" if that is filled in. So......let's go to #2:
    2. Displaying a genre by artist would be the expected behaviour on the tv, so if you want the track title to display, I guess you would have to change the artist field to show the track title, although I'm not sure this wouldn't adversely affect the way these files are displayed in other lists.
    ** Yes - it does adversely affect the display but I've come across a possible solution but have encountered a brand new problem:
    New solution:
    Artist: Michael Giacchino
    Album Artist: Ratatouille
    Album: Ratatouille
    So, based on this, on ATV I click Genre - Soundtrack and under "R" is Ratatouille - except it won't actually play - it acts like it is locked - if I scroll up of down and click play on another track/album, no problem. Any thoughts or can anyone else try this out and tell me if they have the same issue? Thanks.

  • Two Questions (Disk Format, and iTunes Backups)

    Hi all, I am switching from PC to Mac soon and plan to use a 1TB External as a backup disk with Time Machine. I have two questions however:
    1.) I know when I buy my external I will need to reformat it for Mac. I managed to find from one Apple Support article that I should use a GUID Partition scheme since I will be using the new macbook pro which is intel based. HOWEVER, I am hearing different things on formats. Apple says the most common format for TM is "Mac OS Extended", but it says it also supports things like "Mac OS Extended (Case sensitive, Journaled)", and another source said it's best to use "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" As you can see, this is a bit confusing for me. Which format is best for my backup disk?
    2.) I also hear it's easy for backup data to collect quickly, especially if you deal with lots of large files. I really want to backup my iTunes media and library, but I have about 55+gigs of content so far. Is it still best to use Time Machine to back this up or would you recommend to manually backup my iTunes library? (like make a second partition just for my iTunes backup)
    Any advice anyone has on either of these topics would be much appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Yes, although it's almost certainly not case-sensitive.
    I read somewhere that Mac OS Extended (Journaled) (not case sensitive) is best for TM.
    Usually. Case-sensitive is TM's default, though.
    Does it really matter?
    It may.
    I'm only going to be using this one disk to back up my one drive.
    Review the pink box in #5 again.
    If your internal HD is case-sensitive, your backups must be the same. There's no choice.
    If it's not, and you don't anticipate using any case-sensitive volumes (a few 3rd-party apps require it), then you're probably better off with case-ignorant: +Mac OS Extended (Journaled).+

  • HT1386 Two questions Itunes Movies and Syncing

    I have two questions. I had been using a different computer and had several movies saved from those ones you get free with purchasing a DVD/Blue Ray. When I try to look at these movies it tells me it will cost me money to download again? Doesn't Itunes remember the movies I already downloaded to my account???
    Second when I try and sync my phone to the computer this being the new computer I look at the aps to sync them and the photo has a different looking setup and all my aps are not in the same location as the ones on my actual phone. I have the 4s phone and carefully tried to place each AP in the correct place on the computer but then the next time I connected and looked to snyc with new items I downloaded to my phone it uplads the new aps fine but the same messed up screen shows up. It tells me I can lose aps on my phone ( i know they are saved on the computer) when I sync but what the ****! This NEVER used to be a problem on my old computer I even set it up so I am not connected with any other computers just this one.

  • When i try to download an app and i have entered my password i am asked to add some security questions. I can add two questions and an alternative e-mail address, however it will not let me select the third security question.

    Thanks Liam. After the second ap download it asked me three security questions on iTunes and on my MAC it allowed me to set up these with no error on the third question. iPAD 3 now downloads apps fine.
    Apple really need to sort out this issue or provide guidance on this. Two days of the unit not really being fit for purpose - what use is an IPAD without the ability to download aps.
    Also NO Response from Apple via online tech support and it's now been nearly 24 hours - I was told by telephone support I would get a response within 24 hours or less, as also stated in the email response too!??
    It would be good to get a formal response from Apple on this rather than radio silence.

  • I forget the answer to my itunes security questions, How do I change them?

    I forget the answer to my itunes security questions, How do I change them?

    1. See my User Tip for some help: Some Solutions for Resetting Forgotten Security Questions: Apple Support Communities.
    2. Here are two different but direct methods:
        a. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
        b. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support
            and service.
    3. For other queries about Apple ID see Frequently asked questions about Apple ID.

  • Two questions - album art and shuffling

    Ok...I have two questions, but didn't really want to make two posts...
    The first has to do with album art... All of my album art is in itunes and has been loaded onto my ipod (16gb, 4th gen)...I know it's there because I went song by song and did it and checked it. But my ipod chooses when it feels like displaying it...sometimes it displays it, sometimes I get the music note. If it's not there and I turn it off and on again, it will reappear...it does it on random songs when it feels like it. I tried resetting the ipod and that didn't help and it has resyncing multiple times. It's just hit or miss if the ipod feels like showing it.
    My second question has to do with the shuffle feature. I always shuffle my songs, but it seems like it's only shuffling the same songs...mainly those that I first synced. Every now and then it will throw in a new song, but it seems like it's shuffling the same songs constantly....and they don't have more plays than others because I've flipped through them. It's really annoying because it seems like it's always the same songs...
    Has anyone run into this also or have any ideas? I figured I'd through this out there before I exchange it out for a new one... both problems are just annoyances that are driving me nuts...especially the shuffle thing...I'm tired of the same songs!! Thanks guys!

    1) Have you checked that the album art is actually on each file? Right-click on the song and select, "Get Info" and then the "Illustration" tab. Now, press the "Next" button and make sure that all the songs that you think have got the album artwork actually have them.
    People often have problems like this with album artwork, or that two versions of the same album appear on the iPod etc. These problems are related to iTunes and how the music has been setup - and not usually the fault of the iPod.
    2) The shuffle feature. I don't know what anyone else has to say about this but I find it REALLY bad on ALL iPod products. This is why: it starts to re-shuffle the music before it has played all of them at least once. I find this rather illogical and haven't experienced this with any other brand but I guess Apple programmed it like that for a reason. I thought they could have at least improved it somewhat on the Shuffle 2G as that is its main selling point. As a result, I get some songs that play 10 times and others that never play at all.
    Hope this helps.

  • Two questions: editing info and capacity info

    I have two questions:
    1) I edited some artist/album info, but after synching it with my classic (80gb) the info hadn't changed on the Ipod. It did on Itunes, but not the Ipod. Any thoughts?
    2) As I put more music on my Ipod it increased the number of songs and the approximate # of days that this represented at the bottom of the Itunes screen. But then the days changed dramatically (and inaccurately) and now I have about 2500 songs, but it says that represents 250 days of music, which clearly isn't right. Any ideas on fixing this?
    Thanks

    Thank you for answering the first question - it worked!!!
    As far as the other question,
    When I create a playlist, for example, Jazz Tunes...and then I create another playlist titled Sarah McLachlan, etc., etc.,
    I will eventually have a list of playlists that are titled either as a specific artist or genre. And so, when I look to do a search on genres...I have to also look over the artists, making it confusing... Is there a way to seperate the two? Still not making sense? : /

    Thank you.

    If you have a rescue email address on your account (an alternate email address is different) then you can use that to reset them : If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset, and if you don't already have a rescue email address, you can then add one for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
    Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID

    If you didn't establish a rescue email address, you will need to call applecare support.  Ask for account security to reset your security questions.  After the advisor is able to verify your identity, they can reset your security questions.
