ITunes default settings in 7.x

Does anyone know a way to get around some of the settings in the new upgrade? For example, when I would delete a song in my external hard drive and then click on the song, it would lead back to the folder the old song had been in (very useful when putting in a better version). Now it defaults to the "My Music" folder against any defence. Does anyone know why this is now the case? Does anyone have a workaround?

No, you can't change the default settings, but you can set some common
properties for all fields. You can either select them all, and then
right-click one of them and change the options there, or you can use a
script.

  • Why does iTunes keeps resetting itself to default settings randomly??

    Downloaded three upgrades so far, and sometimes I turn on my computer to find that iTunes has all default settings, forgotten my library's name and lists.
    Upgrading/reinstalling did not solve the issue. It really ****** me off to "reprogram" the iTunes to my liking every other time I open it.
    No error messages or windows, no warnings, just freshly new every time.
    Anyone experiencing this? What can be done?

    Unfortunately, I can't offer any solution because I'm experiencing the same kind of trouble. Please help us! It would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,

  • Tracks ripped in iTunes with default settings cut short on iPods

    I have a WIndows PC running XP (which I keep up to date).
    I rip CDs I have bought using iTunes with default settings (so creating AAC files). My iPod library is held on a networked storage device.
    All tracks play fine in iTunes.
    Quite frequently, when I sync the ripped CD to an iPod, one or more tracks will cut short when played on the iPod, usually near the beginning (they generally play for less than 30 seconds).
    The tracks always cut off at the same point.
    The problem occurs consistently across 3 separate iPods (i.s. same tracks, same point).
    I have tried resetting iPods, removing artwork as suggested by some threads etc.
    The only way I have found to resolve the problem is to re-rip the CD (or at least the faulty tracks). Usually this fixes it, although sometimes I have had to re-rip more than once.
    I have not found similar problem reports (those I have found tend to be people ripping to MP3 format), which seems strange if this is an iTunes bug.
    It has occurred to me this might be an issue with the data being written to the storage device which is connected via ether to router.
    Any thoughts?

    You're welcome. Glad it worked out.
    Amazing day yesterday. The Earth shake was very powerful, lasting for over a minute. Fortunately and amazingly, we had very minor damage.

  • I am in process of restoring an iphone4 to its default settings after getting approval from my carrier to unlock it. Using itunes, it is saying "verifying iphone restore" and hasbeen stuck there for about 2 hours.

    I amtrying to restore an iphone4 to its original default settings after obtaining approval from my carrier.  I am using itunes and following instructions given.  It has been stuck on "verifying iphone restore for about 1 1/2 hours with no movement in the bar across the phone itself.  Task manager is showing very little activity.  I have internet connectivity.  Is this an issue here or with apple?  Thanks.

    Thanks.  Finally unhooked the phone and then tried again.  This time it went into recovery and reloaded all as it should have and gave me the "unlocked" message which was what i wanted to see!  thanks

  • View Options default settings

    I am fairly new to iTunes/iPod. Recently got 80 GB video iPod that I use with Win XP. I want to change the default settings for View Options. I don't want several of the categories that are selected by default and I want to permanently add other categories. I can't find a way to change the default settings. Every time I open my iPod with iTunes, it displays the same set of categories and I have to change the selected categories manually - annoying. Is there a way to change the selected categories in View Options permanently? Nothing about this in iTunes Help.

  • Is it possible to change the default settings for the slideshow?

    The default settings for any new slideshow use the dreaded Ken Burns effect and some awful background music from a standard library. Having to turn these things off for every new slideshow I start is driving me nuts. Perhaps preferring no music accompaniment and a static photo on the screen is for some people rather boring - but I would prefer it, at least as a starting point. If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful. Thanks

    Choose "Export" and then the QuickTime option.
    It will make a 4 track video with a simple "fade" effect between photos. You can set the dimensions and the duration of your photos. You can also remove the music or add your own from your iTunes Library (no purchased music if you intend to share these movies).

  • Can someone tell me where to go to reset all default settings?

    Hello.  When printing pictures from the program the colors are coming out terribly wrong.  It is NOT the printer as I can print just fine from other programs.  Do I need to restore the default settings?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • My ipad is not syncing with my iPhone. I am considering restoring it to default settings but are there other options (besides calling Apple)?

    With apps, if I install an app on my iPhone that is also for iPad, it will go on my ipad, but if I delete the app on my iPhone it will not be deleted on my ipad. With photos, I have pictures on my ipad that are not on my iPhone and vice versa. With contacts, on my iPhone, everyone has their own ringtone, but on my ipad they're set to default. As I set up top, I am considering restoring it to default settings but are there other options (besides calling Apple)? I just want a second opinion.
    Thank you to all who answer.

    Currently, all opinions are set to ON in iCloud on both devices. On the iPhone, apps is set to ON, iTunes Match, Music, and Books are set to OFF. On the IPad, apps, iTunes Match, Music, and Books are set to OFF.

  • ITunes and settings

    Hi there,
    When you open iTunes for the first time it gives you a few options to chose form in regards to finding music in your home folder and other things. It also asks if you would like to use iTunes to run your internet audio content. What is the advantages and disadvantages of this? Are you better just choosing the option of leaving it as default settings or changing the setting so iTunes manages the internet audio?
    Is there a way of going back and using the default settings (just out of curiosity)?
    Matt

    I believe that refers to Internet radio only and not any audio you might find on websites and such

  • Transferring iTunes file settings & iPod to iMac 27" - easy or impossible?

    Hi, I'm just about to buy the iMac 27" and I have only one concern about moving off my last PC...but it's a big one!
    I have over 100 playlists - lovingly created over many years - and over 150GB of music, books and podcasts on iTunes and the associated iPod. I also have an iPOd Touch which uses some of the playlists but has lots of applications!
    Is it possible / easy / impossible / very hard to transfer iTunes files and settings exactly as they are on my PC to the new iMac. If I can do this successfully, I presume that the iPod conversion will happen the first time I sync the device...or does this have to be done separately?
    Thanks a million for any help!

    If you use the default settings, everything used by iTunes is stored in the iTunes folder. On a Windows PC, it is here
    \Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    On a Mac, it is here
    /Users/<username>/Music/iTunes/
    So what you need to do is copy that entire iTunes folder from the Windows PC to a large enough external hard drive. Then connect that external hard drive to a Mac. When iTunes is NOT running, replace the existing iTunes folder on the Mac with the one from the Windows PC. You can either rename the existing iTunes folder, move it to another location, or delete it. The idea is for your Windows PC iTunes folder to take the place of the existing iTunes folder. When you start iTunes on the Mac, it should use the iTunes library file you transferred and iTunes should look the same as on the Windows PC.
    Instead of using an external drive, you can do the transfer of the iTunes folder using a network connection between the Windows PC and Mac.
    If you changed your settings so that your music and other iTunes media files are not all stored in the Windows PC's iTunes folder, please post back. You can still do it this way, but there are some additional steps.
    Note: If you have protected content from the iTunes Store, you will have to register the new Mac as one of your (up to) five computers authorized with your iTunes Store account. You can do so from the Store menu in iTunes. If you are no longer using your Windows PC, be sure to deauthorize it.

  • MacBook Reset Itself to Default Settings

    My computer was being kind of slow, so I restarted it. Only now, when it opens back it, it is almost like it has reverted to default settings. The desktop background is the generic blue one; the dock has the standard items on it and not the ones I had on there; Mozilla doesn't have any of my settings on it; all system preferences have changed, like how to right click and select things... Everything is still on here, so I am not worried that I lost files. The only thing I have done lately was attempt to change the user name from the past owner (an associate) to myself. This would have been the first time I restarted since then. I tried shutting down and restarting a couple times, but it hasn't changed back. Is there any way to undo this? I don't want to lose all of my Mozilla/computer settings.

    I suggest you create a new user account (in your Account control panel) with the desired name, then copy the old user's Home directory (the one your tried or did change) contents into that of the new user. Good luck!

  • Recently had to reset my computer back to factory default settings

    I recently had to reset my computer back to factory default settings due to a possible keylogger hidden somewhere on my computer. When I did this, I forgot to transfer all of my songs onto my iPod before I did it, which wiped all of my songs off of my computer. I recently re-installed iTunes and I need to know if there is a way to recover the songs I had purchased previously?
    Whenever I try to "Buy Song", it takes me to the receipt of the song, but won't download it. Any suggestions?

  • How do I "deselect" Use Default Settings?

    I download a podcast each day, but I cannot get it automatically, because my ITunes always goes back to "Use Default Settings".  How can I deselect this?

    You could start using the default bullet style on a list you have. Do the changes you want and then Create a new style from selection by clicking on the triangle on the left of the style name.
