ITunes browser doesn't stick
In most of my playlists and my main Music folder I like to keep the browser visible (both in iTunes and for my iPods).
I recently purchased a new Nano 8GB (4th gen.) and while the playlist browsers stick, the main Music folder's browser keep disappearing, and I have to hit CTRL+B every time I plug it in.
Is there a way to make it stick ?
Thanks!
After trying a billion different things, I finally sucked it up and decided to restore my iPod and that apparently fixed the problem.
As to why it happened, I have a suspicion that it had to do with plugging the iPod in different USB ports (on the same computer, when my old iPod was also connected). I know it doesn't make much sense, but that's the only thing I can think of.

I've recently imported some CDs into iTunes. I find artwork on the internet and paste it in. A few days later I see that some of what I had pasted has disappeared. Why does this happen? I'm using iTunes 10.6.1 and I have iTunes Match. The tracks that I am refering to have been matched by iTunes Match. This is incredibly annoying.

Changes to track info in iTunes sometimes doesn't "stick"
I have been slowly ripping my large CD collection into iTunes 10.7. Most of it is classical. This means that a great deal of clean-up has to be done, due to the sad state of the Gracenote database, which is riddled with inconsistencies and spelling errors. I have do a lot of editing, sometimes to make things I ripped a couple of years ago consistent with the way I'm listing things now. Within the past few days, I've corrected the same error several times: a misspelling of Beethoven's first name. I've looked for the misspelled variant in the four genres within which it could occur, have found it, and corrected it. And yet today it showed up again. This error is easy to correct, although I am not eager to do it repeatedly, but it makes me anxious about what other edits might not have been retained.
Is there a way to ensure that edits are truly saved?
How robust is iTunes’ library? Is there a size at which it no longer functions correctly?
This is an enormous amount of work and the thought of it possibly being lost due to some sort of corruption is a horrible one.i had this problem a while ago.
In fact i had this problem about 5 seconds ago.
I was getting all these songs with Artist ft Artist 2 when i didn't need or want that.
After rebooting, resyncing, renaming ALOT of items etc... i gave up.
I then replugged it back into my iMac, made a new playlist on the ipod touch, then i closed the music app on the multi-task bar.
I then synced it from the main screen, and then after waiting for a while - the new playlist was there and all the artists were fixed... i have no idea what i did, but it's worth noting that since you can still play music on IOS5 while it is syncing, it's best to just turn off the music app.
BTW - I don't sync music from itunes library - i manually manage my music... -
I recently did the last Security update I think it was, and around the same time my iTunes browser - the main page with playlists, songs, music store and cover art - disappeared and does not display. What remains is the top tool bar, and it can be made to display the graphic equalizer, Cover Flow or the Visualizer. It looks like the Hide Browser/Show Browser option in the View menu should fix it but it doesn't do anything, and the Play button is greyed out in the Controls menu too so technically it is not workable, until I get the Cover Flow screen in the Full Screen version, and then it starts playing! It's not right, but I don't know what's wrong...?
I have tried restarting obviously, reinstalling iTunes in various versions and even the operating system from the Install disc and nothing seems to bring it back.
It looks like I may have just accidentally pressed some weird setting but I really don't know. Can anyone please help?

Not a problem, Safe Mode will disable addons and hardware acceleration. If this continues and it is not an add on this will be the next step to try to disable acceleration:
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

I have a 3rd gen Ipod touch. When I connect it to my Macbook pro to sync it with itunes, it doesn't show up on iTunes. When I connect my iPhone 6 to my computer it syncs, backs up, ect. How do I make this older iPod show up on my iTunes?
Hi ChristianHelpplz,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It seems like your iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, but your iPhone 6 is working normally.
I recommend starting with these steps to troubleshoot your iPod touch and connection with your Mac:
Check your USB connections
Unplug other USB devices from your Mac and try again.
Try a different USB port.
Try a different USB cable.
Restart your device
Restart your iOS device or reset your iPod.
Restart your Mac
Turn your Mac off and back on.
Update your software
Check for software updates on your Mac.
Check for an iTunes update.
Check your security software
If you have security software installed, learn how to resolve issues between iTunes and your security software.
From:
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
If you've tried these steps and your iPod touch is still not recognized, try placing it into Recovery Mode next:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

How do I move/copy music from iTunes to my USB stick?
How do I move/copy music (a playlist) from iTunes to my USB stick, so that i can play it on my Media Center?
Are you using Finder to try and transfer, or are you using iTunes?
Using Finder should yield no "Decoder" error. -
I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window. One of the albums won't even play the music. Will only open the "booklet" for the cd but not the music. Can you help?
Hello dannugget
Normally, if the songs showed that it is purchased then it is probably already in your library. If not check out the article below to walk you through downloading your past purchases. You may also want to check to see if you have Automatic Downloads turned on so that way next time you can get your tracks without having to plug in and sync.

my new iphone 5 is frozen, with the cord to computer symbol on the screen after failing to finish updating to ios 7. iTunes no longer sees the phone. I've tried rebooting the computer, rebooting the iPhone, but iTunes still doesn't see the iPhone.
If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

I used to sync my iphone to a laptop which is no longer in my posession. I am now looking to start over and have a new itunes on my pc with no music on it. When i connect my iphone up to the new itunes it doesn't recognise it or sync - can anyone help me?
The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

so i connected my ipod shuffle to my apple computer and the status light on my ipod shuffle shows that it is charging but when i look for it on the pc dock or in itunes it doesn't show it at all.... so what do I do???
If you have not already, I would shut down (power off) your computer. Do this to Reset your shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Start up computer. Run iTunes. Connect shuffle.
If you have added a new USB device recently (since the last time it worked properly), you may want to try disconnecting it to see if that makes any difference. -
How do I get my music from Media Center to my iphone 4s. Itunes 10.5 won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone plugged into the USB port so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.
Hello and welcome to the support community
As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5.
