ITunes DJ and Coverflow / Top menu issue

Any updates on this subject?
While in version 9 iTunes looked the same as in the thread above, looks have changed a bit now, but still look bad. I spent a lot of time building my library and do not feel like doing al this work again. If no satisfactory solution is available I think I'll switch back to WinAmp.

  • When I click iphoto it hops and the top menu bar comes up but that is it no files and albums come up it just has my front page pic

    When I click iphoto it hops and the top menu bar comes up but that is it no files and albums come up it just has my front page pic

    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • My start button and desk top menu keep relocating themselves to top, and sides, How do I get them back on the botom of the page and keep them there?

    When I initialize my start up, and my home page loads, my start button, short cut icons, and desk top menu will move from the bottom where I prefer them, to the top, or left and tight sides, which shortens my home page, or any site I go to. How do I lock them in to the bottom and keep them there. This has just started in the past 2 weeks.

    Drag the Taskbar with the Start button to the wanted position and right click that bar the lock it to prevent accidental moving it.

  • Spinning ball pops up every time and the top menu bar keeps flashing

    The problem started today, for no apparent reason. I was working with some programs open (not many) when my screen froze. Nothing worked, so I closed the laptop to see if it would return to the home page (where you type the password) soon after I heard the 'apple sound'. The computer was restarted, when opened, there was a gray folder with an white question mark flashing in the center of the screen. I restarted the computer again.
    From this time he began to have symptoms that persist until now:
    • Every time I do some action on any application the spinning beach ball appears and for a few seconds the program is locked.
    • The top menu bar - where the icons are located ( bluetooth, dropbox, battery, spotlight, etc.) flashes every 40 seconds.
    I use this computer for work and thus can hardly surf the internet.
    I hope someone can help me finding a solution to this.

  • My iTunes library and metadata/ID3 tags issue

    Since 2010, iTunes is the only media player I use to play music. My library consists of music purchased from the iTunes Store, CD rips and stuff many artists these days release as freebies on the internet to promote a new album. Also, M4A and MP3 are the only formats I use so far.
    Since iTunes, I really got into editing my library's metadata tags by hand, in order to create a custom archive which serves my preferences best. I should mention that besides iTunes being the only software I use to play my music library, it's also the only software I use to edit their metadata. Also, before iTunes – when my library was on different media players – I never bothered with editing them.
    A few days ago, I found how a lot of people in forums complain about the way iTunes edits and stores metadata. So, I experimented and moved a few of my songs to other media players after editing their tags within iTunes. And indeed the tags and/or artwork were often displayed messed up and/or incorrect, some times partially and some times completely.
    Some people were referring to the version of the ID3 tags being the issue, while others suggested using the "convert ID3 tags" feature. I myself am a little bit confused. "Converting the ID3 tags" wasn't available for my M4A files and once I performed it for my MP3's I didn't know which setting I should apply or what version to choose. I chose one version randomly but I'm not sure what happened.
    My goal is to make my music library able to play and display my custom metadata on the majority of the popular media players. I hope that firstly this is possible and that secondly it won't be a solution which requires me going through every single song individually.
    I really hope that all those years work on my library wasn't for nothing.
    I'm using a MacBook running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and my iTunes version is 10.7
    While my music library is more important that my iTunes version, I do like iTunes 10 more than 11.
    I apologize for any grammar mistakes, since English is not my first language. Thank you all for your time and any suggestion is welcome.

    Hello turingtest2 and thank you for your reply.
    In response to "a possible cause of problems is multiple embedded tags", what exactly does that mean and how can I avoid doing it in the future?
    Anything ripped with iTunes should get a single tag. If multiple tags in some of your older mp3 rips are the cause of the problems when you try to access the files elsewhere then you should apply the suggested remedy selectively, not to the whole library indiscriminately. Once fixed you shouldn't have the problem again unless you use different ripping software. If so check the options to ensure you generate a single ID3v2.3 tag. Downloads from elsewhere are pot luck.
    If I use Convert ID3 Tags>None before converting to v2.3 as you suggested, how many times is "several times" and why do I have to do it more than once? Also, what are your thoughts on 'v2.3 vs. v2.4'?
    Several is at least two, but more could be needed if a file has both v1 and v2 tags in multiple languages. If there are two tags, the first conversion to none should remove the first one, and the second conversion the second. Experiment, And stick to v2.3.
    In response to "the process removes any embedded art but otherwise preserves the data that iTunes knows". All fields excluding cover art remain the same? Does that mean that I will have to start from scratch and apply new cover art individually for each album? That would be too time consuming given the fact that I embed custom art.
    Yes, everything but artwork is held in the iTunes database and is restored with the final Convert ID3 Tags... v2.3. Use Doug's scripts SaveAlbumArtJpeg before you start and RestoreArtworkFromAlbumFolder afterwards to save and the restore your existing artwork.
    Also, what happens with my M4A files' metadata? ID3 tags are only used for MP3's, right?
    Yes, m4a/aac files have a different tag mechanism. Multiple ID3 tags is just one possible issue that you might have. You said:
    So, I experimented and moved a few of my songs to other media players after editing their tags within iTunes. And indeed the tags and/or artwork were often displayed messed up and/or incorrect, some times partially and some times completely.
    It might be worth going into some more detail about exactly what differences you noticed. iTunes can automatically associate (instead of embedding) artwork when it can match the album in the store which could be why some tracks didn't get artwork.

  • Airport and the top menue bar

    For a long time now, since I installed Air Port there existed an Air Port icon on the top menue bar once I logged onto the computer. All of a sudden it disappears. I have an iMac and I have not had this problem before. howe can I get it back in the menue bar. Fred

    Hi Henry B: The following information was found under System Profiler:
    AirPort Card Information:

  • ITunes iPhone and Windows Vista - Syncing Issue

    I was trying to upload 2 new albums I have and it seems it re-synced my whole music library to my iphone.
    Is there a video or something I can watch that shows how to use iTunes correctly, and to sync new songs without having to re-sync the whole entire library to my iPhone.
    Thanks.
    Black MacBook, 2.0GHz Core Duo, 1GB Ram, 80GB, Superdrive   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   8GB iPhone

    There really isnt much to syncing music. I have read several posts of folks complaining that making a simple change to one song caused the entire library to resync.
    Suggestion - turn off automatic syncing when you plug your iPhone. Then choose Sync only selected items, and then select all your music. Sync. Then make a change to one song and manually sync again. See if only that one song syncs.

  • I am unable to open any applications and the top menu bar (while everything else freezes) disappears about a minute after powering on my macbook.

    A little while back, I attempted to write files to a disk, and then my computer went to a screen that I remember looking similar to thishttp://i44.tinypic.com/mheyy1.jpg After going in to speak with apple, they tried to reset specific settings and ended up erasing the majority of the files on my computer. After all this, my computer began to function terribly and finder would not respond. I did a software update just now and upon doing so my menu bar at the top of the screen is visible only for a moment before disappearing. When I try to open any application, the icon turns to a TXT icon and will not open. I am unable to do much of anything on my macbook right now. Thanks for your help!

    These files were lost two years ago.
    That's not consistent with what you wrote in your first message. I can't help you unless I know what's going on. Either you do, or do not, have backups of all the data you want to keep. If you do not, then the first thing you need to do is back up those files. It makes zero sense to do anything else. In order to back up, you'll need either of two things: another Mac, in working order, with a FireWire port and enough space on its internal drive to hold your files; or an external drive, also with enough space.
    On the other hand, if you do have backups, or if you simply don't care about any of the data, then the solution to your problem may be quite simple. All you have to do is boot from your installation disc (your profile says you're running Mac OS 10.5), erase your internal drive, reinstall the Mac OS, then restore your data from backup. You will need to be selective in restoring software, because incompatible software may be what caused the issue.
    But it's also possible that you have a hardware failure, in which case you can't get your computer working again until it's repaired.

  • ITunes authorization and song selection/playback issues

    I use my computer (macbook air) and iTunes for work (I am an itinerant elem. music teacher).  The computer does not have a disc drive, so I import music from CDs and use iTunes match to transfer tracks to my laptop or iPod. 
    I'm having a few issues with iTunes (11.0.5) that have been occuring recently.
    1) I play a song from a playlist with no issues, then play the same song later (sometimes just minutes later) and receive a prompt saying I am not authorized on this computer to play that song and that song only.  Entering my ID and password gets rid of the prompt, but causes iTunes to freeze (I usually force quit and restart the program, which sometimes fixes the problem and sometimes doesn't).  I use iTunes match on this computer, but it still allows me to play other songs from the cloud while one song has authorization issues.
    2) When searching for a song using the iTunes search bar I used to be able to double click on the matching items without pressing enter (as I type in the search query it brings up options, which I can then double-click to play without completing the search).  Lately, when double-clicking on those songs they either don't play at all, or an entirely different piece of music will play.  If I click again it will cycle to another (also wrong) piece of music.  Despite what I type in the search, the songs that play when I click are songs with trumpet in the title somewhere, with the exception of one song, which is a trumpet sonata but does not say trumpet in the title or description.  When I drag the song from the search menu to a playlist and click on it the correct song will play. 
    3) Some songs will refuse to play (iTunes claims that it is unable to find these songs).  I usually re-import from a CD when this occurs, which usually fixes the problem, but sometimes not.
    4) Some songs were imported but do not exist in my library.  Most of these songs are accompaniment versions of other songs (background track only, with no vocals).  They have the same title as their counterpart, with "acc" added at the end.  At first I thought I simply neglected to import these tracks, but when I try to import just the ones I need they still disappear and I am unable to search for them by title (using the search bar) or by looking up their album.
    5) Itunes will sometimes be unable to access tracks stored in the cloud, despite the computer having a strong internet connection.  I can download songs from the cloud using iTunes match, but this becomes problematic as I use more songs than I have room for on this (school-issued) computer.  I really don't want to spend time downloading and subsequently deleting files every week.

    my home computer, where my library is stored, is running XP and it is not compatible with iMatch!
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/:
    iTunes 10.5 system requirements, Windows
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, or 32-bit editions of Windows 7
    I'm not sure how you're testing this with iMatch since Apple's site says it is not available yet, and there's no mention of any different system requirements (or any system requirements for that matter).
    I don't know about the mp3 problem.  It might help if you provided a link to specific examples others could test.  I would think if this was a common issue with old mp3s there would have been 100,000 posts in this thread since it was started a month ago.

  • ITunes 7 and World of Warcraft issue

    It seems upgrading to iTunes 7 has a funky effect on World of Warcraft. While trying to play iTunes in the background and playing World of Warcraft the sound speeds up and slows down, skipping around and is completely horrible to listen to. With iTunes 6 I had no problems listening to great music while playing WoW. Anyone else have a similar issue. Nothing else has changed hardware or software wise since the 'upgrade' from iTunes 6 to 7. I have no way of narrowing down the issue but its definately something that iTunes 7 is doing as nothing else has changed. Any chanages to duel-core processor support by chance? Anyone else getting this or similar issues while using iTunes while playing games?

    It seems to be a problem with iTunes and many other applications, not just World of Warcraft. Here's a post from the WoW tech support forum about it:
    http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=27723502&sid=1
    There's a setting you can adjust in WoW's configuration file that works for some people, but not for everyone.

    In the meantime, we wait for Apple to fix their music player.

  • ITunes 6 and External Hard Drive issue. Please Help!!

    Hi Gang!
    I'm having problems when using iTunes 6 to work with my external HD as my iTunes Music library vault.
    Under iTunes Advanced section I have set my Preference to change my music library from my iMac G5 to my external HD. Everything works fine, but everytime I restart my computer, iTunes automaticaly sets the Preferences back to the Music Library folder in the iMac G5 instead of the the external HD. I never had this problem before with other versions of iTunes.
    Am I missing something or is there an extra step I should take to having iTunes accept the external HD as my permanent iTunes Music Library holder?
    Thanks for any input.
    Alex

    Hi TP2GO!!!
    Thanks for your reply!! You mention that this problem is being caused due to the fact that my external HD is not available at start up. But the driver is always available, since it is always hooked up to my iMac at all times. I've noticed, though, that iTunes starts up at login and maybe system is running it before it runs my external HD (if I follow your logic), possibly causing iTunes to set the iTunes library back to default since it cannot find the external driver where the new library should rest. So, my new question is: how do I disable iTunes from running at start up to try and see if this is what's causing my problem?
    Thanks very much indeed for your input!!!!

  • ITunes deleting and resyncing 200 songs issue

    Every time I sync my iPod Touch, iTunes removes approximately 220 of my songs and then "re-syncs" them onto the iPod. This happens without altering my iTunes library at all. And if I look at the sync bar in iTunes it is always the exact same 200+ songs. It makes syncing take much longer than it needs to. Any suggestions?

    When you say that it is taking longer, do you mean that its taking like 5, 10 minutes longer to sync, or like a minute longer. Itunes and the ipod will update song info on the ipod like play count info, or any changed playlists. It will not actually change the songs, but you will see it updating the info for the individual songs and playlists on the ipod. If it is actually changing 200+ songs its going to add a significant amount of time, like 5 ten minutes every sync. Which is it?
