ITunes 'Up Next'-feature not working properly

With the new iTunes 11 update, I started using 'Up next' regularly. It's a nice feature, I think, as it allows me to quickly make 'on the fly' playlists (mostly full albums).
To me, the subtle difference between 'play next' and 'add to up next' is also very likeable.
It appears to me the feature has some minor flaw or is still bugged in this new iTunes version.
My problem is as follows:
Whilst playing songs from album X, I want to add another album Y to the 'on the fly' playlist by clicking 'Add to up next'. Album Y would sometimes be added in a 'play next' manner, on top the current play queue.
The rest of album X would then be played AFTER album Y (album Y being visible in up next as 'Back to: ...' )
This is the exact same effect as the 'play next' option has!!!
I need the second album to be added AFTER album X, as the up next feature normally does.
Curiously, this does not happen everytime. Sometimes 'adding to up next' seems to work just fine, adding songs at the end of the queue. And I also haven't found the source of this flaw (eg. where I would add the songs from: in album view, in artist view, from search results,...) as it occured in all of the mentioned situations.
Anyone who can help me with this? Is it something I'm doing wrong or is it indeed a bug in iTunes?

I think the issue has to do with how the rest of the list is constructued. I noticed that when I am playing on shuffle from a playlist, and add specific songs, they are added at the start. However, when after that, I add more songs, they are added after the previous songs, but before the "shuffle" resumes. This at least is how it has been for me consistently.
An issue I have with Up next, which may be related, is that when I add a song which I don't want to hear next, I will drag it and drop it somewhere in the list of songs that itunes picked randomly out of my list, it disappears. Surely, when I drop it, it will be there, it will stay there when I close the list and check again, however, when the current song is finished and the next one starts, this song is completely gone again. Very weird...
One of the posts in this topic set me on the path to the solution, which is not dragging my added songs down, but move the shuffled songs up. Then everything seems to be working fine, strange enough. So, when I want to hear two songs soon, but not directly after eacht other (say I want 8 songs in between, for example because they are by the same singer and I want it to sound like it is random), I need to add those two songs. And then instead of moving the second song downwards, I need to move 8 songs upwards....

  • ITunes 11 "up next" feature not working?

    I just downloaded and installed the new iTunes 11. While playing with it, I played an album and saw the list of songs go into the "up next" list.
    A few moments later, I tried to add another album to the end of the "up next" queue, to begin playing it right after the first album finished playing. But it seems there is no way to do this. Currently there are two options that show when you click on the arrow button: "Play next" and "Add to up next", but so far they both add the songs or albums to the top of the list.
    Is anyone else experiencing this? I figure it must be a bug...

    This still is not solved!
    Just opened a new thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4636516
    The odd thing is indeed, that sometimes the feature works properly, adding songs to the end of the queue. But as I use the feature a lot, it sometimes does the same thing as ccmara experienced.
    Apple, please solve this bug in next itunes update!

  • Ipod feature not working properly.

    The Ipod feature on the 3GS phone stops playing during a song change but is still showing continuous play. Anybody seen this..have a solution?

    did you already try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If this does not work, try to delete the ipod software file located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates to make iTunes download a new copy when you connect in recovery mode. Maybe the file stored on your PC is damaged.

  • Itunes on my 4s not working properly with docking stations

    Just in the last week itunes on my 4s won't work properly with my docking stations. I have one at home that is my alarm clock and while my phone will charge when my alarm goes off it will not play music, it just beeps which is what it does when the alarm goes off and the phone is not on it. If I press play on my the Itunes app itself it will play music. I have a station at work that I use daily as well, and same thing there, if I press the play button the station it won't work, but if press the play button on the app it will play. I believe it is an Itunes app issue because it will work as it is supposed to with the pandora appg. Anyone else having this type of issue? Any suggestions or tips are welcome.

    Get a magnifying glass and closely inspect your dock connector and clean any dirt, debris, dust bunnies, corrosion or anything else you find.

  • New 'resume' feature not working properly

    Hi All!
    As there does not seem to be a manual for Lion, I am hoping someone can answer the following questions for me:
    I have assigned various applications to different desktops (spaces). Unfortunately, after a system restart, these are not restored to their assigned desktops, but all open in desktop 1. I think the 'resume' idea is great, but this kind of spoils it for me. Am I just doing something wrong?
    Also, Lion does not remember whether an application was closed or open. It will just open any 'active' application to a full window, which is also kind of annoying. So, yes, resume is an interesting feature, but unless Lion remembers the exact state the app was in before restart, it is completely useless.
    I am hoping that I am just missing something like a setting or such, and that one of you has already found out how to change it.
    Thanks,
    Sib.

    Great New User works!
    I don't have one, so I'm not certain what to look for, but MOST of the User stuff is kept in...
    /Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/
    One interesting one that I find is..
    Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.keyboardtype.0003930b0244.plist
    Likely the numbers before .plist will be different on yours, try dragging that, (those), file(s) to the desktop, (we can drag them back later if need be).
    Then log out and back in, might have to you Keyboard setup or the Control Panel to setup the KB again.

  • Dim Display feature not working properly

    When I first got my 8330 a few days ago, the display dimming feature worked just fine.  Now, with Backlight Brightness set to 100 and Backlight Timeout set to 30 seconds, when I toggle "Automatically Dim Backlight" to ON, the display dims as soon as I save the configuration.  It stays dimmed continuously from that point on.  To get back to normal I have to toggle the "Automatically Dim Backlight" to OFF, but then it just stays on full brightness for the 30 seconds.
    Larry 

    <p>Cool, thanks for the tip.  I never thought of that.  Ithink that should work, I'll let you know if theres anyproblems.</p><p> </p><p>Along a similar line of thought why is it that when I insert aUDA using a load rule, and the option for 'Allow UDA Changes' ischecked in dDimension Build Settings, why does it not overwrite theprevious UDA, instead it creates duplicates, or three or fourcopies of the UDA I'm trying to load.  However if I uncheck"Allow UDA Changes" and have "Allow PropertyChanges" it will overwrite the UDA?  Is that a known bugin the system?</p>

  • Droid's "Direct Dial Feature" not working properly....

    When I try to add a direct dial to my phone's home screen or on the dock (I use Launcher Pro Plus), it brings up a list of contacts, but it doesn't show all my contacts.  For example, I can add my phone's voicemail, my house, parents' house, wife's cell, etc.  But it doesn't show my father's cell phone # (they are all in my contacts list).
    Anyone else have this problem/solutions?

    hi cheryl - your first link works great for me on mac/firefox, pc/firefox and pc/ie6 - that's the one i would use:
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=250430714
    the fact that it doesn't work on your system might have something to do with the settings you chose when you installed itunes - when you click the link it is supposed to open itunes, but if itunes can't be located i believe a browser page / window should appear telling you itunes could not be found with an option to launch the application manually.
    Cheers,

  • Itunes on home PC not working properly

    My home computer runs Windows 7. I have an iphone 4s, ipad and ipod that I connect to this PC. My problem is I can't get itunes to work anymore. I've tried uninstalling as has been instructed here somewhere but it still doesn't work.
    It opens up the screen goes black & then seems to change & itunes displays with a huge font & all fuzzy. It says to change the resolution etc but when I try to do that it just goes back to my computer desktop. Is there something else I can try to get it working again? Luckily for me I do have access to itunes at work so it isn't all bad but very frustrating if I need to do something from home.
    Question 2 - I have two email addresses with itunes & want to add some playlists from the other one to my iphone. Is this a possibility & if so how do I do it?
    thanks in anticipation
    Swanna

    That suggests that iTunes has been set to run in an odd display mode ... although it's more common to get an error message with that nowadays.
    Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

  • Find feature not working properly in FCP 7?

    Logged a bunch of clips in FCP7 for an interview-based project with letter-grades based on quality/usability of response.
    For example, "talks about effectiveness of campaign and results. a"
    The "a" at the end to represent that the clip is good and will be used in the final project. The problem is that when we use the "find all" feature within final cut, sorting by "log note" and "ends with" - it will not generate any results. Any pointers as to how we can implement a grade-based logging system that works with the find feature? or better yet, how to ensure "ends with" will pull the all clips graded with a certain letter?
    Thanks!

  • Next button not working properly?

    Hi,
    I'm new to the user groups, and only an occasional user of Captivate.  I'm building an e-learning course, and I have inserted next buttons on each page to let the user control navigation.  However, the slides still auto play without clicking next.  I've checked the slide properties to make sure that "On slide exit" is set to No Action, already, and have verified that the buttons appear at .1 second, and are active for the duration of the slide.
    Any thoughts on why this might be happening?
    Thanks!
    Jen

    Hi Jen
    When you look at the properties of the button, is the pause enabled? (it's possible to turn it off and not allow it to pause the slide)
    Cheers... Rick

  • Notes feature not working properly

    Sinec I've had this iPod, the notes feature on it has been a little wonky. When there are no notes, the Instructions file appears and is read fine. When I start putting small plain text files into the iPod's notes folder, the notes feature would read "no notes". I would have to keep hard resetting to get the notes to appear.
    I took it to a Genius Bar and we tried loading the Mac version of the latest iPod nano 3G update and the notes appeared every single time we reset the iPod. I go home and reload the Windows version and boom, the problem appears again. This leads me to believe there's a glitch with Notes in the Windows version of the software.
    Any ideas?

    Um hi?
