ITunes view options dialog missing

Hello, brand new Macbbok 13.3. When I select "View Options" in menu, or ⌘J, the View label flashes blue, but no dialog appears.
Chris

I was having a similar problem, and it turned out it had to do with how I set up my external monitor with my MacBook Pro. Specifically, when I had set up the external monitor to hold the menu bar, the iTunes View Options dialog box would not appear. When I moved the menu bar back to the laptop screen, I was then able to see the dialog box. If you're using an external monitor, double check the menu bar placement under the Arrangement tab of the Displays System Preferences.

Itunes view options - multiple Apple IDs

Itunes view options - can I see the 'account' that purchased a song / app / movie? We have a central iMac that Home Shares among multiple (5) Apple IDs but no way to see which 'asset' is associated with which Apple ID in the iTunes view .

this script will help:
Track Down Purchases
This script will examine each track in a selection of tracks or a selected playlist to determine if it was purchased from the iTunes Store and then copies it to a discrete playlist named for the person who purchased it, eg: "Steve Ballmer's Purchased Music". Recognizes song, video, and audiobook purchases. Purchaser information is gleaned by examining the track's file, which, depending on file location and access speed, can take as long a second per track.

Itunes View Options - Can U change the default settings?

I am constantly adding "Composer" to my view options in my Itunes Library and when in ITunes Store. Is there a way to create a number of view options (eg. Artist, Album, When Added, Composer, etc.) and save this as a "default setting" so that I don't have to keep adding Composer. If there is, I haven't found it yet.

Time it was possible, don't you think?

Cannot keep settings in iTunes - "View Option"

I want certain information to show in my iTunes library like title, singer, composer, etc. I go to View Options and check what I want to show and then click SAVE. It's fine....until I leave and come back. Then I'm back to the default settings...I guess they're the default since I can't get rid of them. I haven't found anyplace to change the defaults, but I don't want to change these settings each time I view a song in my music library.
What am I doing wrong? I have iTunes 9.6.3 but this has been going on through past upgrades as well.

Same thing happening for me.
Really irritating.

Can't get iTunes view options to stay on 2G Nano

Every time I connect my 2G Nano, iTunes changes my view options back to the original factory settings, forcing me to readjust them. This doesn't happen with my 5G iPod and I haven't been able to figure a way around it. Any suggestions?

Do you see iTunes.exe running in Task Manager > Processes?
You might try this to find conflicts

Mono/stereo field in iTunes view options

How do I add a mono/stereo field to the view options in iTunes?
I have over 20 years experience working with professional bands but am now deaf in 1 ear so I understand what mono is.
This would help sort a 128 kbs stereo copy of a song that is about half the quality of a 128 kbs mono copy of the same song.

If Apple's iTunes software engineers did not design-in a particular feature or function, you can't add one yourself, unless you are a skilled programmer or hire one to do it for you. Even then, I expect that modifying the code is a violation of the end-user license agreement (EULA).
If I understand your motive, you could rename mono files to distinguish them from others, or perhaps use an existing field - there are quite a few sort fields not typically used - and place an 'M' there to easily sort those tunes.

ITunes View Options- No Ringtones!

I would like to put some different ringtones on my new iphone, so I searched the apple site, and was instructed: "If you do not see the bell icon on any songs, choose View > View Options, and make sure the Ringtone checkbox is checked."
Now I've gone in to itunes, selected View Options from the View menu, and looked very hard for that Ringtone checkbox, but there is none! I checked for a software update, and my system tells me I'm up to date; so now what? I've searched a few dozen pages here, but frankly don't have the patience to sift through the hundreds of pages of threads... I hope someone can help!
Thanks!

I have MacBook Pro and Mac Pro.
I live in UK. I could not find "Ringtone" from View option.
Then I checked my MacBook Pro, it has Ringtone view option that I can see.
Both Mac are iTune 7.7.1.
I checked carefully, both same but my MacBook can not see the select option for to tick Ringtone.
Then I l Sign out for iTune store, then I could tick Ringtone from view option, then I sign in again.
So I have now "Ringtone" in view.
Try this!!!

Itunes view options problem

Apologies if this has been posted before....
Is there any way of having a default setting for the library columns (artist, album, year etc)?
i want to have specific ones on display, but itunes keeps switching back every time I do something, like play a track.
Also, is there any way of changing the names of the columns? I don't suppose there is, but thought I would ask just in case.....
Thanks

So, holding option down while moving data into iTunes does NOT reference.
what do you mean by reference ?
if you have +*copy files to ... when adding to library+* check marked in preferences > advanced and option-drag content from e.g. an external HD into an open iTunes window, iTunes will index the path to the file's location, but not copy the file physically into the iTunes music (or media) folder.
Test and try to verify.
i'm using the above technique to add my lossless music files (stored on an external) to my library.
It's actually click + SHIFT to reference.
again, i'm not sure what you mean by reference.
Don't you think there would be a view option (CMD J) for referenced data?
cmd j brings up *view options* for me.

ITunes view options

Hello, I have my Itunes library on my Imac and I stream it onto my Macbook pro. On my Macbook I have altered the column view to show last played and number of plays as well as song, artist, album, which is the same as on my Imac. The probem I am having is everytime I open Itunes on my Macbook the columns have changed. Last played has gone and Genre and Rating have appeared. Any idea how to lock the columns?
Thanks.

Hi Al Carubia,
In the iTunes 7, each item you select to "View options" for will affect that item.
So when you select "View options", on the window that opens, what is listed in the upper left, your iPod, music?

As a music producer I would love if the staff at itunes could create a (music key) option under the view options?
Has anyone heard if this will at any stage be added?

"Show View Options" is missing

I had all the icons on my desktop at work set to a fairly large size because it comes in handy when I'm doing photoshop stuff to be able to see a large preview of the icon. I was working on it this morning as normal, then left work to go on a shoot, and when I came back someone else had logged into the other acct on the computer.
I logged them out, and logged back in as me and now my desktop icons are really small, and when I go to "View" and "Show View Options" to try and change the size back, the "Show View Options" is no longer in the "View" menu. Nor is it in the "Finder" window itself when I click the little "gear" icon. It's just simply not there. I have NO idea what happened. It was working fine this morning. I don't know if someone else logged in and a new update changed everything, but when I returned, everything was different. This is REALLY annoying for what I do, because I REALLY need to be able to see pictures clearly, and having them this small makes it impossible, and I can't figure out WHY I can't change it back. Anyone????

Some kind of application that you installed, even if you don't know it did it, changed a setting in the finder preference file.
The solution: Go to home/library/preferences and open com.apple.finder.plist, then scroll to the bottom of the file and you will see and option named: ViewOptions-inmutable, make sure the checkbox is not selected, or that the boolean value is the opposite of the one it has right now. So if it has TRUE change it to FALSE. Save the document and use the CommandOptionEscape combination to see the Force Quit Apps windows, select the finder and click the Relaunch button.

Help needed: view option icons missing

Hi,
There are only blank space in the bar location where my view option icons and spotlighter use to be.
But I can still click the old position and the same functions still working.It is so inconvenient
because I need to guess the choice.
Does anyone have some ideas about how to fix it?
Thanks,

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

ITunes delete option is missing

I have ITunes 11.1.3 on a 2011 Mac Mini. I used to have the ability to delete duplicate songs but that option seems to have disappeared. I have tried three methods. These methods used to work for me and still work for my wife on a similar computer:
1. select song, go to "Edit" drop down menu, click on "delete". Delete is grayed out on the menu so I can't use it.
2. select song, right click (or Control Click), select "delete" on the menu that appears. The menu appears but "delete" no longer appears on it.
3. select song, drag it to the trash. Now when I do this it just bounces out of the trash and won't delete.
This might have happened around the time I updated to Mavericks but my wife also updated and it did not happen to her.
I have looked through ITunes preferences but found nothing helpful, same with ITunes Help.
Any suggestion why this is happening would be appreciated.

I forgot to mention that selecting the song and hitting the delete key on the keyboard also does not work.

2G Nano View Options in iTunes dont get saved!!!

I noticed an issue with the 2G Nano that the view options (columns with Artist, Song, Track Number etc.) always get reset to the default settings in iTunes every time I plug it in to charge/update music. I know with all the other iPods I've owned the iTunes view options (columns with Artist, Song, Track Number etc.) for the particular iPod are always saved and appear the same from computer to computer within iTunes. Does anyone have any idea why the view options aren't being saved on the 2G Nanos when it is viewed within iTunes?

The other post on this may have been mine.
What I find is that the Music folder under the plugged-in iPod source always comes up in a weird configuration upon connecting the nano. You can customize from there, and it will hold the new column choices/positions during the session. However, once you eject the iPod and connect again later, you're back to the original nonsense columns (nonsense in that they make no sense for a music library ... the Description column is present, intended for podcasts).
Fortunately, playlists seem to work. So, I now transfer all my music in one big smart playlist and, when browsing the contents of my nano, I select the playlist rather than Music as the source folder. It's a decent workaround, but I hope the problem is fixed in the next revision.
David
