ITunes annoyance - remembering view settings

Well, iTunes 7 continues to bug the **** out of me. I STILL can't get used to how ugly it is!
But that's not the point of this post. What's bugging me right now is that iTunes does not remember how I set the view for my iPod when I plug it in. It always starts at that stupid iPod overview screen and I have to click on "Music" and then switch it to "browse" view. In iTunes 6 I only had to set the view like that once and then it remembered it every subsequent time I connected my iPod.
Anyone know of any settings or preferences anywhere for this?

Anyone know of any settings or preferences anywhere
for this?
I've read in other posts a theory that it was just a combination of the 5th generation iPods with iTunes. I am experiencing the same irritating bug that "remember view settings" does nothing to track the settings on my 4th generation iPod, even with the latest update to iTunes (7.02).
Anyone had any luck?

  • ITunes Not Remembering View Options for iPod

    I just upgraded to 7.0.1 to see if it would fix this problem, but no dice. The view options for my 5G 80GB reset back to the factory settings each time I disconnect my iPod, or even if I restart iTunes and leave the iPod connected.
    I'd like to have the browser up and have some of the other options changed, like showing track numbers and time. This used to be a setting that always stayed the same with my previous iPod.
    I upgraded my iTunes to 7.0 and bought my new iPod at the same time, so I'm not sure which is actually having the problem. Anyone else notice this?

    I'm having exactly the same problem with iTunes 7.0.2 and a 80gb iPod. It's really annoying. It should remember the view options, at least iTunes 6 did.

  • Itunes not remembering view/sort options

    This has probably been asked before, but I'm having trouble finding it (probably not using the right search terms). Anyway, ever since Itunes 10 I've been sorting my albums in a Grid with the option to sort by Album/Year. So my albums for each genre are grouped first by artist, then by year, which is perfect and exactly what I want. However, every time I open Itunes it "forgets" to group by year, and only groups the albums by artist. To correct it, I have to click the "Album by Artist/Year" button at the top of the list every single time I open Itunes, and usually I have to do it for each genre. So annoying. Is there any fix for this? Thanks for any answers.

    Many thanks. For the basic technique see the *Remove iTunes Preference files* section of the User-specific troubleshooting section of the following document:
    [iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717]
    Because moving a set of preference files sets those preferences to their defaults, the test you'll need to do after moving a set is launching iTunes, changing display preferences, closing iTunes, and then launching iTunes again in order to see if the display preferences have "stuck" this time.
    *Things to watch out for*
    If this works, some of your preferences will be set back to their defaults, so make a note of any custom preferences you have set up. You may also need to reinstall any third-party add-ons/plug-ins.
    Running iTunes after removing the \local\ set of preferences will cause the license agreement to run again.
    Running iTunes after removing the \roaming\ set forces the iTunes setup assistant to run again. When prompted to add files to your library, say "no" or your library will be filled with duplicates.

  • ITunes doesn't remember my settings

    All,
    It seems that iTunes on my Windows XP machine won't remember the setting from the previous session. For example, when I start iTunes, Ping, Podcast, Movies and other sources that I've selected NOT to show in the left hand margin show every time I open iTunes. Additionally, I select the box that tells iTunes NOT to sync automatically and again, when I start a new session, my preferences have not been saved.
    Any thoughts-
    Thank you,
    a

    XP...really?
    Check to see if any anti-virus/security tools are preventing iTunes from writing new settings.

  • How to auto remember folder view settings in finder. its driving me crazy!

    Is there any way i can have finder NOT apply the view settings of the current folder to all folders opened after the current folder. It gets very annoying!

    You can't change the overall behavior, but you can customize individual folders so that they will remember to always open in a particular view even if other folders are subsequently opened in a different view.
    For each folder you want to "customize," open its Finder window, select the view you want, then type command-J and click the box at the top for "Always open in xxx view". That command refers to "this folder", not "all folders".
    Folders that have not been customized in this way will open in the same view that was in effect for the previously opened folder.  The box for "Use as defaults" at the bottom of the View Option window does not change this behavior - checking it appears rather to mean: "IF a future new folder is displayed in the same view as this one, THEN that view will have the same internal parameters (text size, etc) as this window does."

  • View settings for ATV in iTunes

    Hi,
    Has any noticed that in itunes you are unable to change the view settings of the stuff synced to your ATV?
    If you select ATV in the device list and then click on any of the categories (movies/music etc) iTunes won't let you change ANY views, everything greyed out!
    I have tried changing sources on the unit, but whatever I do - no joy!

    Hi Josef I'm not entirely with you on this one.
    When I look on the device Apple TV in iTunes, everything I have streamed to apple TV from iTunes is grayed out but when looking at the photos tab which I have synced is not grayed allowing me to change whatever I want to sync. Is this different to yours? or I'm I misunderstanding your point.

  • Same (global) view settings for all EXISTING playlists (iTunes 10.3)

    I guess some folks like to individually configure the columns of each and every of their playlists. But I like uniformity ... How can I apply global settings to all of my MANY existing playlists, like, let's say, Coverflow plus a certain selection of non-default columns.

    Maybe I should add that I do know global view settings are NOT a feature of iTunes 10.3. So it's not a matter of "where is the button I have to click".
    I also know that Apple Scripts exist as workarounds, but unfortunately I'm using Windows XP.
    Therefore, it's a question for the real experts amongst you, as some serious iTunes-tweaking is involved, either in Windows Registry, or in some hidden config-file.
    The most important question, though, is: why on earth are global view settings not a natural part of iTunes since Day One.

  • Itunes won't update library or keep view settings

    Today I ripped a couple of CD's with itunes.  I haven't used it in a while but it's up to date. 
    The problem is that the ripped music shows up in the library when it's ripped, but if I exit itunes and come back in to it, it's not in the library.
    Same thing goes for  the view settings.  I'[ve change all permissions to remove read-only setting.
    Nothing seems to fix this.  Help!!
    Thanks,

    Itunes version 10.2.2.12
    Windows 7, SP1 64bit

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeksare worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select anyiTunes, QuickTime and Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • How to save view settings for shared library

    Just wondering if there is any way to have iTunes remember the view settings for a shared library?  The library is shared through home sharing. I can change the view settings for TV Shows so that episode number etc is displayed. However, this change is lost when itunes is restarted. This is for latest iTunes on windows 7.

  • How do I get iTunes to remember my password?

    Every time I start iTunes it asks me for my password.  This began after I changed my mac.com password.  Is there a way to get iTunes to remember my password so I don't have to re-enter every time I get into iTunes?

    Log into iTunes, view your iTunes account and turn off Ping.

  • Folder view settings not retained in Leopard

    Anyone else seen this problem ?
    I like to have different folders with different view settings - some icon, some list, and now some coverflow. But, it doesn't retain these settings, it just reverts to whatever view I was looking at last, and applies that to all folders.
    This is intensely annoying !
    Tiger didn't used to do that.
    Is there a solution ?

    I've done that. I have all my folders set to open in Icon view except my Music folder, which is set for List view, but I still have the problem with the settings not sticking.
    I'm not sure if this is related, but when I got back a folder, the Finder doesn't always remember where I was, ie., I'll be at the bottom of my Applications folder, go to the Utilities folder and then go back to Applications at the top.)

  • View Settings Resetting

    Ref: Windows 7 Pro SP1 and current version of iTunes
    I launch itunes; sometimes I get the window that request you acknowleged the use of the software; Then when itunes opens
    NO memu bar; No view settings
    So I go to the little window Icon in the uppper left hand corner; and select "Show Menu Bar"
    Then I go to View and select "Show Status Bar"
    Then i go to View again and select "Show Side Bar"
    Then I go to View for third time and Select "Show up next"
    Now I am ready to use itunes...No problems using the applications.
    Note: All the items in the Side Bar; i.e. Library; Playlists etc. are retained.
    Upon completion of the session, I close itunes....
    Next session...open itunes now maybe or maybe not itunes has saved my view settings; if settings are not saved, I have to go thur the view process again! I have found this behaviour is hit and miss and bloody annoying!
    I MAY expect this behaviour if a new version was downloaded; but you would think they could keep a file in itunes that retains these settings. I have been unable to find any consistance in this behaviour .
    Question:
    Is the resetting of view settings, as I have indicated above, normal behaviour?
    Is there somewhere in this application that I can save these settings?

    Hi,
     A view is a hidden message in your PST file. Try to repair your PST file using scanpst.exe:
    Click Start, and then point to Find or to
    Search, depending upon your operating system.
    In the Search for files or folders named box, type scanpst.exe
    Double click the Scanpst.exe file to open the Inbox Repair Tool.
    Type the path and the file name of the personal folders (.pst) file or click
    Browse to locate the file by using the Windows file system.
    Click Start.
    If the problem persists, we may try to create a new PST file. When creating a new Outlook profile, a new pst is created for Inbox. So, create a new Outlook profile
    to test the results. For detailed steps, refer to:

  • Adobe Reader is "forgetting" the last view settings

    Hello, I'm having a small problem with Adobe Reader X. I checked the "Remember last view settings" option, and it's working fine, but the problem is that if I don't open the  document for a few days, the document loses the information about the last page I was on. Is there anything that can be done about this? I'm using Windows 7, but this also happened in Windows XP and with previous versions of Adobe Reader.
    Thank you.

    Are all the PDFs you read from a single source? The document author CAN (but probably shouldn't) override the default zoom, but you might be seeing that and it might be why nobody else is complaining.

  • Annoying problem with View settings on new iPod

    Hi folks,
    I just got a new 80Gig iPod. When I connect to it in iTunes, I changed the View options to display the columns I want (e.g. bit rate, genre, date added, size, last played, etc) and I also set the width of each column. In the Preferences, I have the box checked to retain the selected view settings. When I disconnect the iPod and then reconnect later, all the View settings have been changed back to the default settings and I have to go back and change them again. This is quite frustrating and I didn't have to do this with my old iPod. Any suggestions on how to fix this annoying problem?

    It's a bug that's been discussed here before. I find it annoying too that I have to keep re-opening things like "show browser".
    Please send Apple a reminder to change this odd behaviour in the next iTunes release.
