ITunes Usability Issue

I've loved iTunes 7 since the day (Ok, the minute...) that it came out, but I have found an interesting little usability bug.
When clicking on controls in the iTunes interface, i.e. the play/pause button, the red close button, etc., the mouse click is registered right away. You can see the "mouse-down" effect of the button, but the actual event (playing/pausing the current track, or closing the iTunes window) does not trigger until I move the mouse pointer slightly. I typically only see this issue while useing my MacBook's trackpad with the tap-to-click functionality turned on. This makes it etirely possible to "click" a button without moving the pointer.
I was curious if anyone else has noticed this, and if I should bother submitting it to Apple..?
iTunes 7 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 15" MacBook Pro

It doesn't happen to me, but I've seen others mention this. I'd submit it as a bug.

My new iPod Classic will not sync with my new Mac Book. My iPhone 5 does, so does 2nd gen. iPod touch. Apple Store cannot figure it out. Tried different Classics on different Macs, same thing. iTunes update issue ?

The iPod Classic I bought a month ago is not synching with my new Mac Book I bought 3 weeks ago. All the software was immediately updated. My iPhone 5 synchs fine, and so does my 2nd generaton iPod Touch. The original computer I synched all of these devices on was my HP latop. I bought my Mac and Classic to the Apple Store for a 'Genius Appt' and they could not figure out what the problem is. The connected my Classic to another computer and the same thing happens. It says device is not recognized. They also took other iPod Classics and connected them to my Mac and other Macs. The same thing was happening. They took notes and said it probably is an iTunes update issue.
I can manually drag songs into my Classic but I lost all playlists because it cannot be backed up as well and they had to restore it. For now I am holding on to it but it's usless to me if I cannot use it the way I liked too. I used it for the gym and bike riding and my last iPod battery died after 6 years. A charge would last 45 miutes. I love the Classic for what I use it for but it's a $275 brick to me now. At least the renewed by receipt so I can get a full refund.
Is anyone else seeing this issue ? The Apple Store employee said he saw a first generation iPad havng the same issue. As of now the Support Dest is unaware of this. As much as I love my new Mac I am disappointed I cannot sync my new Classic to it. Total bummer.
Any help would be apprecated.

By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

When is Apple going to fix this iTunes update issue? I can't open or re install my iTunes.

Is there anything they are going to do so I can add more music to my iPod? Let alone access my iTunes library.

IPad and iTunes Capacity Issue/Application Install Issue

I've just spent the past hour trying to figure out why iTunes 10 is reporting I have 17.9GB of video although the iPad itself is saying I have 0 videos.
I am not syncing any music videos, movies, TV shows, Podcasts or content from iTunes U.
The iPad Free Space indicator is reporting I have 8.9GB avail, but counting video as using 17.9GB of my iPad's total capacity.
Anyone else?
I'm also trying to add Photogene to my iPad via iTunes and keep getting an error message indicating I need a newer version of iPad software to install, although I do have the most recent version. Seems like iTunes 10 issues.

There seems to be some reports that iTunes is reporting the wrong numbers for the free space, thought that's not happening to me (as best as I can tell) on my iPhone and iPad.
As for Photogene, my guess is that you're trying to install the iPhone version on your iPad. The iPhone version only works on iOS 4.0, so can't be installed on the iPad. There is an iPad version, but you have to buy it separately.

Itunes update issue

I updated iTunes but receive the following message: AVCFPlayerItemDurationChangedNotofication... Now iTunes will not run. I even tried the repair option on the iTunes download website. Any suggestions?

Does this happen if you start iTunes in safe mode, hold Shift and Control while launching it?

Mail usability issue -- message list positioning

I'm loving the iPad, but noticed a slight usability issue while reading my email today. Would be great if Apple would consider changing it in future updates.
Whenever I open the mail app, the right pane shows the most recent message I had open last time I was using it (that's good), but the left pane scrolls down and shows that message hilighted. I would prefer if the left pane stayed at the top of the list.
Consider the following scenario:
1) I go home from work at 5:00PM and sit down to play with my iPad.
2) I hear that familiar tone letting me know that I just got an email from my work account.
3) Open up the email, lament my co-worker's stupidity, go back to playing some video games.
4) The next day I get several hundred emails, answer them on my desktop email client.
5) Go home at 5:00 to play with my iPad.
6) New email
*7) have to scroll through all those emails I got during the day before I can select the new one.*
It's a minor annoyance, but still an annoyance.

Thanks for the tip. I never saw Rebuild before in the menu.
So I selected the mailbox and hit Rebuild. It "blinked" and refreshed, took about 5 seconds--I thought it would take longer.
At any rate, no change. It's still happening.
Any other ideas?

Survey: Top 3 Usability issues II

During the 1.0 release I posted a survey for the top 3 usability issues facing Creator. Many of the requests have been resolved in the 2.0 release.
http://onesearch.sun.com/search/clickthru?qt=top+3&url=http%3A%2F%2Fswforum.sun.com%2Fjive%2Fthread.jspa%3FforumID%3D123%26threadID%3D49456&pathInfo=%2Fonesearch%2Findex.jsp&hitNum=1&col=developer-forums
Still an IDE can be improved (e.g. when new features are added, )
There was quite a good response for the first survey, so I'd like to continue this for Creator 2.0 as the Creator team works on update releases.
I'd like to know what top 3 usabilities improvements
should be made to Creator to improve the user experience
in future releases.

Hello, I have done a lot of development in PowerBuilder, Delphi, C++, but only spent a year or 2 (off & on) in Java. I downloaded Creator about 2 weeks ago and was impressed with its capabilities. That said, here are my main issues:
1) Ide Sluggish (always) and unstable (after extended use). I Sometimes have to stop & restart the server and even sometimes have to reboot to get it to deploy simple projects. Of course I am deploying often to see & test my changes. While you have the 30 min compile time of a large C++ project beat, it is far more difficult to do rapid prototyping in Creator than in PowerBuilder or Delphi. Even for small projects Creator is comparatively slow to the outdated C++ compiler which compiles the same header 5 times just for fun (actually its because I have not optimized the pre-compiled headers, but who has time for that in a small project anayway). I only type about 30 words/min and any IDE on a pentium based pc should be able to keep up. I have to wait so long for popup help, I could almost look it up in my browser faster. Also, my cpu is rarely above 20% when I have an hour glass in Creator and my entire PC is sluggish. I have 512Mb of memory on Windows XP and a 2.0Ghz CPU. Why should I have to wait 3-5 seconds changing pages in creator with only about 5 pages loaded?
2) Fragments, What a great Idea, most web pages have common headers and footers. Dream weaver & Front Page all have similar concepts. But then I spent a day trying to figure out how to show/hide buttons depending on what page I was on (what a pain!) I need a way to access any component on the header just like it was on the page so if button1 is on a fragment called myHeader I should be able to do MyHeader.button1.rendered = false; or whatever on Page1. Of course you could argue the object oriented approach is a "smart" header object, but how smart is it really with a big case statement for a brain.
Also try putting about 5 buttons on the header and including that header on 6 pages and then go to the navigation window and try to link it up and its a big mess. I always want the Home button to go to the home page so why should I have to do that 6 times. How about showing me the header fragment in the navigation pane and allowing me to make static links from there as well as from each page. Of course I still need to be able to retain other dynamic behavior such as make the logon button link to the Logon or the logout page depending if the user is logged in or out.
3) I need to be able to connect to ODBC data sources as there are no JDBC drivers for some databases like (DBISAM, NexusDB, Etc.) I know this is outside the IDE realm, but an updated ODBC-JDBC Bridge would be greatly appreciated. Of course I'm the guy with clients who always want to call some windows dll that they created from Java on a Unix box, but the ODBC support does not seem that unreasonable and I believe there are many others connecting to legacy systems that would benefit from this.

ITunes storevconnection issue

I am experiencing connection to iTunes Store issue since 12:00 AM PST April 12. It happened on all of my devices (Macbook, iPad, iPhone). I have connection to the internet and can go to yahoo/google fine.

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
what i did was plugged my iPod back up, then when iTunes pops up, drag your 'music' section to your iPod. (you have to be in your library, not in the iTunes store)
mine synched automatically, and i had no problem ejecting it or anything.
no error messages either. and all my music is now on my iPod!
i hope this works for you!!

IPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues (3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1)

Please feel free to inform me if this inquiry might be better posted in a different section of the discussion forums.
*iPhone-iTunes Syncing Issues*
(3G Phone w/ 2.2 Firmware & iTunes 9.0.1.8 running on a Dell PC w/ Windows XP Pro Operating System)
With the newest 9.0.1 version of iTunes...
When you synch your Windows XP Pro PC with your iPhone (3G) device & instruct the software to synchronize your iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" with your PC's Internet Explorer "Favorites," should there not be a bi-directional transfer of the information?
(from iPhone to PC and also from PC to iPhone?)
I synched my phone yesterday & it appears that there was a successful transfer of Internet Explorer "Favorites" into the iPhone. However, neither were my iPhone Safari "Bookmarks" retained on the iPhone nor were they transferred over to the PC (& into Internet Explorer).
Do I need to also install Safari on the PC to get a successful bi-directional transfer? OR am I simply not looking in the correct place on the computer to retrieve all the Bookmarks that were apparently removed from the iPhone?
Furthermore, I've been experiencing difficulty with getting PodCasts that are already sitting in my iTunes account to transfer over to the iPhone 3G.
When I launch the synch operation, commonly the iTunes progress meter will seemingly go to completion. However, the iPhone will ultimately disappear from the left-side iTunes windowpane & the actual iPhone screen will continue to state: "Sync in Progress." The iPhone will remain in this state for HOURS & HOURS, until I ultimately slide the button to cancel the operation. I have literally left the iPhone connected to the synch computer while the iPhone's "Sync in Progress" status message remained the same for *17+ HOURS. This can not be normal*.
Any insight would be helpful.

Note: I resolved the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling itunes with this procedure;-)

Usability issues

Hi Guys,
For the past couple of weeks I am trying to give Aperture a chance to replace iPhoto... I have a quite large collection of pictures, and iPhoto is simply getting too slow to cope with it (yes, yes, i did library rebuild etc..).
I love editing features of Aperture 3, but have quite serious usability issues with it. First of all it really doesn't look or feel like Apple application. But anyway...
My biggest problem is with the way Aperture is organizing pictures. I mean - by default, newly imported pictures are going to the end of project list , there is no way of automatically sorting projects by date (well, i can in "Library", but not in the actual project list on the left). Also, as a result, my entire library is sorted alphabetically by the name of the event rather than by date. It looks like the app missing the most basic organization feature there is. Or am I missing something?

Yes. At the risk of a mildly "wise" answer, you need a quick hour with the manual (its online) or the Apple Aperture Tutorial.
Aperture can organize your images sixteen ways to Sunday, and will even let you arrange some one way and the rest another. And date order is always there as one of the factory smart albums.
Read the book and you will be very happy!
Or you can do what some of us dinosaurs do; begin the name of each Project with the date, as in "20100725 - Trip to Pub."

I can not deauthorise my computer . Itunes store issue " Can not deauthorise " I think i chose some wrong items . Please help me !

click on the store tab on the top left of iTunes. Scroll to where it says "Authorize this computer...". Click on that and enter your apple id and password then click authorize. The reason iTunes says that your computer needs to be authorized is because it is to be sure that iTunes knows can trust your new computer

Unbelievable usability issues

hi all
The usability issues I am encountering are so basic that I do not want to create video with this sw. Having used Premiere pro in the past I know the typical quality of Adobe sw and I simply can't believe they connect their name with this product. Either that or it is something on my PC that I urgently need somebody to tell me about - before I forever close the books on this one.
A few things:
* When loading an avi clip into a new project, Drag the clip from some explorer window to the timeline and 1 out of 6 times, it does not appear on the timeline. It is not shown but it's there .... And f*cks up whatever else you drag to the time line next. You end up with split clips, dupicated clips, ...
* Having edited the timeline a bit, remove all the clips from it, then import a new short clip. You'd expect it to end up under the cursor but alas you often have to scroll to it: it often is way out of view w.r.t. the current horizontal timeposition or (see above) apparently gone.
* when you add or cut a piece from the start or end of any clip in your tmeline, the In and Out points ALT-[ and ALT-] on the timeline do not move accordingly - useless !
* When adding clips, removing clips, shorting etc the horizontal position craps up time and again - with nearly every significant edit you need to manually reposition - useless.
* This one is the worst: When dragging on the start or end of a clip in the timeline, it lets you drag, then pretends you never unclicked. the clip just apears to drag wherever you take the cursor - UNBELIEVABLE. You have to click elsewhere then select another clip in order to stop changing the size of the current clip and god knows what it's done to the clip I tried to edit when I succeed to stop dragging. With this bug you cannot call it a video editor !!!!
* There's more but before ranting on let's see if there arrives any reply to this cry for help.
It is only this program that does this on my one year old IntelC7 PC. It shows the same bugs on my W8.1 laptop. All other stuff on my W8 PC has been running nicely including Photoshop elements BTW - which shows no usability or quality issues. Video imported is typically uncompressed DV-Avi or standard mpeg: I did perform 'Updates' and am running build 20120901, B261, 425551. I am sw development manager with 25+ years experience working on commercial products and have worked as video editor for 2 local TV stations as a hobby, so not quite a rookie. This product as is would not even be considered worthy of alpha-testing where I work.
and yet .... not a cry or complaint about this on internet anywhere ...Am I stupid or what ?

Thanks for your answer, Steve,
No doubt I have a learning curve but it should not include what are obvious bugs.
What really surprises me is that nobody seems to experience my issues, which to be frank
make this sw imho completely unworkable. Yet the type of usability problems do not suggest operatingsys or hw dependency: I consider them typical of junior programmer errors. BTW: I am also quite familiar with Pinnacle (9, 10 and 14) - they seem to have ironed out the bugs over the years but are nowhere near sophisticated enough when making even simple L -or J-cuts. let alone more complex edits.
I do want to use PE11 and don't mind learning curve (although it does not seem as hard as you seem to suggest). Any tips on PE11 are welcome. Any chance you suggesting specifics regarding ‘issues on my computer’? (I can't see them).

You definitely do have a learning curve. And there are likely some issues on your computer. But with this many issues, I'm not sure where to even begin.
It might be worth considering a different program that more closely fits your workflow. Have you considered or tried a program like Sony Movie Studio or Pinnacle Studio? Might be worth downloading a free trial of each and giving them a test drive.

ITunes/AppleTV issues

Hello,
I'm trying to play iTunes music from my iMac on my Apple TV.
The iMac is running OSX 10.6.8 (Intel core 2 duo)
I have just upgraded iTunes, believing this to be required in order to connect with AppleTV. Since the upgrade, I am unable to open iTunes on the iMac. I icon bobs three times and nothing happens.
Figured that perhaps the OS needs updating, but unable to download Yosemite either.
Not sure what my next step should be. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hi BrianMktg,
Oh man, that definitely sounds frustrating! Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like iTunes is no longer responding/opening on your iMac. Let’s see if we can troubleshoot this issue before moving on to the AirPlay issue. To begin, you can attempt the steps in the following resources:
