ITunes List Window View Question

Apologies if this is not the correct place to post this, but...
I like having the 'kind' category visible after the 'Artist' and 'Album' category lists in iTunes. I use Edit>View Options to do this but it only affects the current playlist (or the Library)
Can I change all the playlists to show the categories this way or do I have to go thru each one?

Novice window/View question (fixed) -- please comment on code

(fixed this to look right, thanks for the posting tip)
Hey, I am using the iPhone SDK, and this is my first non-licensing question, which means it's going to be a very basic one.
I'm able to start a project, using a ViewController template, edit the XIB file, and then have those controls show up. I'm able to create outlets and inlets and handle user input and output to those controls, all well and good.
Where I'm getting hung up is when I want more than one view. I've read the "how to use the ViewController" documentation, which is more like a "how to" guide for specific subclasses.
All I want to do, for now, is to create two views and swap back and forth between two views. My strategy was to create a parent view (just a container), then create two viewcontrollers (with their views) and then set both their views to the addSubView function of my parent view. Then I was going to use the bringSubviewToFront method to swap between the two, if all goes well then using different animations.
So I did the below in my DidFinishLaunching event handler. All I get is a white screen. Can someone correct my code below, given the intent above? I would learn a TON from the answer, I'd be on my way.
Thanks very much in advance.
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
UIView *v = [UIView alloc];
m_pParentView = v; // declared in class interface as UIView *m_pParentView;
ViewCtrlSub1 *vcs1 = [ViewCtrlSub1 alloc];
[vcs1 initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[m_pParentView addSubview: vcs1.view];
ViewCtrlSub2 *vcs2 = [ViewCtrlSub2 alloc];
[vcs2 initWithNibName:nil@ bundle:nil];
[m_pParentView addSubview: vcs2.view];
[window addSubview: m_pParentView];
[m_pParentView bringSubviewToFront:vcs1.view];
// Override point for customization after application launch
[window makeKeyAndVisible];

The Utility template makes two content views that transition with the "flip" view animation. The root view is only used to position the Info style button on the main view. I.e. the root view itself is never visible. I didn't mean to imply that template provided the UI skeleton you were looking for, since you didn't describe what you're looking for. But the toggleView method in RootViewController.m is a good example of how to transition between two views without using a tab or nav view controller (since I assumed that was what you were trying to learn).
If you're still in the dark after studying and playing with the Utility template, the place to go is Chaper 6 of +Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK+ by Mark and LaMarche. In my opinion it's almost self destructive to try and learn iPhone programming without that book.
If you describe the view structure you want, I can give you some more hints, but you won't learn much by just pasting in a code sample.

Itunes List saving Problems

My sister tries to save her itunes list ( Windows Vista, newest Itunes ) on CD or DVD. Whenever she save the list it stops bevore the last CD/DVD ( CD > 12 CDs necessary - CD 11 ok, CD 12 broke / DVD 1 ok - DVD 2 broke ).
Does anyone know why this good be happen?
( P.S. Sorry for my bad englisch )

Thanks. Looking through 105 GB of music data item by data item will take some time.
I'll just note what seems bizarre or incorrect on the TV screen displaying iTunes via Apple TV and see if I can figure it out by myself.
I thought there might be a universal clean up routine for iTunes data other than "hunt and peck" but I guess that is a feature that is yet to evolve.

In iTunes 10, I could type "Sinatra" in the search file, and would get a list of all tracks with "Sinatra" in any field.   In iTunes 11 I get these clever little windows, with nice arrows, but no lists to view.   What am I missing?

Thanks for chipping in.   I discovered something after trying what you suggested.   I have quite a few collections of hits by year from Time Life and Billboard. I've eliminated duplicate tracks that appear in both collections (or other CDs for that matter), but cross-reference the CD where I deleted the track and placed in in the comments section of the CD track I retained.   If I "search" by song name, only the remaining track appears.   But if I want to hear for example Classic Rock 1964, only those tracks remaining would be there when I pull up that CD.   So, I type "Classic Rock 1964," in the search field. First the boxes on the right of the screen open up showing album icons. Showing four tracks by album with a button to view 10 more, then four songs with an option to vies 18 more.   I finally noticed that at the top of the boxes is a blue band that reads, :Show Classic Rock 1964 in Music. When I double click on this blue band, all 24 tracks from the original CD appear in the song list format even though I had deleted two of them because they appeard in a Beach Boys CD.   On those tracks, I had referenced Classic Rock 1964 in the comments field.    So, bottom line, Search will also look in the comments field if you click "filter by all" in the magnifying glass to the left of the search field.   And you can move all tracks that if finds into a song list by double clicking on the blue band.

Hi Dalegu219,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iTunes library is on an external hard drive, but iTunes is not recognizing the library, first make sure the right library is selected.
You can use these steps to make sure iTunes is opening the library on your external drive:
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you're using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
If you're using a Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
You should see one of these screens:
Pick Choose Library and locate the library on your external hard drive.
From:
iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one - Apple Support
If the right library is selected, but you do not see your songs, try re-creating the library using the instructions found here:
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy

HT1751 After "Restoring iTunes Library Backup" it wont link to the files in the iTunes folder. I've followed the correct procedure, and iTunes lists all my music correctly (but with no artwork), but can't locate any of the files. Using Windows 7. Help ple

After "Restoring iTunes Library backup" it wont link to the files in the iTunes folder. I've followed the procedure as described, and the iTunes folder is in the correct location. iTunes lists all my music correctly (albeit with no artwork), but can't locate any of the files.
I've been restoring my iTunes folder from a backup hard drive to a new computer on which I've downloaded the latest iTunes (10.7). If this is a newer version than the one I backed up with could this be the problem? (I had the latest (to my knowledge) iTunes when I backed up the folder about 3 weeks ago, was this version 10.7?)
Or is the version of iTunes (within recent updates) not an issue when restoring a library?
Using Windows 7.
Any help please?

From the top of the page where the scripts live...
The general method of use is to download the script to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist. Some scripts offer a choice of track by track confirmation of changes or fully automatic processing of the selection. Many of the scripts can optionally display a progress bar while running.
You are strongly advised to backup your entire library, or at the very least the iTunes Library.itl file, before use. Test the behaviour of your chosen script on a small group of files first to make sure it does what you want before applying it to large numbers of files.
Most builds of Windows will execute *.vbs scripts when you double-click them. If that doesn't happen then you might need to visit the Add/Remove Programs or Programs & Features control panel to enable the Windows Scripting Host. I can track down details if you have issues.
Backing up and restoring data is an area that is often glossed over. Most people don't try to learn much about it until they've lost something important. (Me too )
If your iTunes library was in the usual layout then normally copying the whole iTunes folder from the User's Music folder in the old computer to the User's Music folder in the new one will usually work fine. Ideally this is done before iTunes is installed so that there is no empty library to replace, and all settings are picked up from the old library. This post contains more details.

ITunes for Windows will not play the next song in the list

Hello,
I cannot get iTunes to play the next song in my list (general list, not a playlist). The random icon and/or repeat icon is not blue. Every time I press the next button (two arrows to the right), it picks another song from my list, instead of the one that is directly beneath the one that is playing.
I have iTunes version 11.0.1.12.
Has anyone have this happen before and how did you solve it? Thank you for all your replies.

Question about FireFox Hello - window view

Hi!
I have a question concerning FireFox Hello.
When I invite somebody to a conversation, 'small window' view is enabled (I mean video conversation is shown in small window in the left bottom corner of my browser).
On the other hand, when I was invited, the conversation was displayed in whole tab.
Is there an option to choose / change proper view?
Thank you in advance.
Greetings!

When you've got the small window, you can expand it out to a separate window and you can then resize it however you wish. See the image below - its the arrow that sits next to the X and points to the top-right.
You can't currently put the tab into the small window, although we are currently discussing using the same small window UX in future versions of Firefox so you won't have the tab view (but you will be able to pop-out etc).

Getting iTunes for Windows to list all the songs in an album

Since updating iTunes for Windows to 12.1.2.27 (it runs on Win 7 complete with all the latest updates on a 64 bit Intel i5 processor, when adding a folder to the Library only the first (sometimes first few) songs get listed. If the album is played, all the songs are played. What needs to be done to correct this. Suspicions are that it is to do with the "get info" option that provides the same data to several "apparent album" entries when the folder is imported.

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix split albums.
For compilations of tracks by different artists set the album artist to Various Artists and also tick Album is a compilation of songs by various artists.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

Problem with iTunes in Windows XP

I am having a problem loading iTunes in Windows XP service pack 2. Every time I click on it, it seems to load for a little while, and then a window pops up saying "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close". When I clicked on the details tab, it showed me a bunch of stuff I couldn't understand. Here's what it said:
AppName: itunes.exe
AppVer:7.6.2.9
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 00000000
How do I get iTunes to work right?

The first question, Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter
These are know to cause troubel with Quicktime and must be uninstalled before proceding.
It is also a good idea to go to your Control Panel and try to launch QUicktime preferences - you need to be in classic view to see it.
Post any error message in full. This error message can give a clue to the presence of problem codecs if you are not sure.
Next do a removal of Quicktime with installer cleanup, followed by an install of the latest version.
I will give a method for complete removal, cleanup and reinstall of iTunes, Quicktime and related components, but in your case it may be possible to just do the QUicktime part. Don't forget to delete the recommended files from your system32 folder.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

Pictures look like they transfer via iTunes app window - but don't appear on iOS device

My pictures look like they transferred to iPad (the new) or iPhone (4) in iTunes (on the App page). I can see the files in the little app file share/transfer window, but the pictures do not show up in the iPhoto App on either iOS device.
Tried deleting the ios iphoto folder mentioned in a different post - did not help.
Deleted all pictures from the app window, and then synched, then tried putting in half as many (mostly because I didn't want to wait for a whole bunch to transfer like the first time ... still showing up in app window, still taking a long time to synch and saying that it is loading, and app percentage of disk space grows accordingly on device (in itunes monitor window). Go to iPhoto on device .... Only pictures are the ones taken by that device.
Photos in the sunflower still work like always, just can't use the cool iPhoto on any of my pictures not taken by the ipad or iphone!!!! GRRRRR!!!!!

This is happening on both the new iPad and iPhone 4.
I wrote under time pressure yesterday, here is more complete history.
purchased iPhoto app on the New iPad, then plugged in, launched iTunes, went to App tab, went to File Sharing - selected iPhoto, Clicked Add... button, selected photos/iphoto ... used daisyA to select all and clicked open.
All photo names appeared in the iPhoto Documents box. Then clicked Sync button (3 hours later) Sync complete - all photos listed in iPhoto Documents box in iTunes. Memory indicator shows application consumption of memory has grown appropriately for having added all those photos.
eject and disconnect iPad .... no photos appear in iTunes except for those taken by the device. Did same procedure on iPhone 4 .... same result. I can group, edit, view, and tinker with the photos taken by the device (ie iPhoto working as it should), however I can't see any of the photos from my long time iPhoto library not taken on this device that the iTunes file share window on the app tab says are there (and app memory usage also indicates are probably there).
Turned off both devices and then re-started -- no help
Soft reset both devices (dimple & power key, hold till restart happens) - even though the power down / power up should do at least the same thing. No help
Deleted iPod Photo Cache in iPhoto app (home/pictures/right click iphoto show package contents ... )
Synched again - no help
Deleted all pictures listed on app tab in file share window for iPhoto iOS app.
Synched - indicator for amount of memory used by apps decreases appropriately
Still can see and use photos taken by device and no others
Powered down then re- started device again.
Plugged in and open iTunes, use file share window on app tab to add just a dozen pictures this time (instead of all). Then sync - Still cannot see the pictures in the iPhoto app on the device .... file share window on app tab of iTunes says they are there. Indicator for memory useage says they are there - progress bar during sync says they are being added, I just cant see them in the iPhoto iOS app when I click on the Photos selector in the iOS iPhoto app.
Photos are on the iPad and synching with the ipad from iphoto into the sunflower app that comes with the devices. Just won't go into iPhoto!
