Little arrows by the side of music and playlists

Does anyone know how to remove those little arrows in iTunes 8? I could get rid of them in older versions but in the new version i can find that option. Does anyone know if its still available and how to do it? Thanks

To remove the genre column on windows:
1) Shutdown iTunes
2) Backup your prefs file
C:\Users\(youruser)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml
3) Edit the file in a real text editor that understands UNIX linefeeds (notepad++, ultraedit, vi, etc) and paste the following lines below the <dict> line under <key>User Preferences</key>:
<key>show-genre-when-browsing</key>
<data>
AA==
</data>
4) Start iTunes and you should be set.
If anyone wants to reprint this feel free, just give the guy below credit.

To turn off the annoying store arrow links, paste in this:
<key>show-store-arrow-links</key>
<data>
AA==
</data>
Note: If you can't find where it says, "User Preferences", then do a "ctrl f" on it and it should take you right there. Oh, one more thing. Once you find the .xml file in my computer, just right click on it and select "edit". Once your done inputting the file, save it. and reopen windows. I just did it and it works perfectly.

    Iphone 4 supports a micro-sim but iPhone 5, 5c and 5s supports a nano sim which is slightly shorter than micro-sim so you have to trim your micro-sim into a nano sim or you can get a new one

    After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

  • I have no sound in apps.  I have tried the side mute button and rebooting.

    I have no sound in apps.  I have tried the side mute button and rebooting.  I have no access to volume on the control panel swipes from the bottom.  Seems I lost sounds after the last ios 7.1.1 update.

    HI, I was fine until I posted a video link from CNN to FaceBook, then none of those videos have sound in FB, no sound in news post links, no sound in any games. I can hear YouTube, downloaded music, alert sounds. I re-booted. I UN-linked the video that caused this. I reset the iPad to original settings...nothing has worked. Any clue? Thanks!

    Have the iPod serviced by Apple for a flat fee or send it into a third party repair company to have them repair it for a little less.  A simple Google search for iPod Touch screen repair should give you a number of results to work with.

  • How to access music and playlists on the same computer, for both Microsoft accounts?

    Hello all,
    My husband and I recently got a new computer and are running Windows 8.1. We were able to successfully use an external hard drive to transfer all of the music and playlists over so that I can access them on my user account (I am the "main" user). All of my playlists are present exactly as they were previously. This is the location of the iTunes media folder on our hard drive: C:\Users\Brittany\Music\iTunes
    However, when my husband logs on as a user separately, the iTunes program is there, but we are only able to get him very limited access to some music. We can't get him access to any of the playlists, which is where the bulk of the music is.
    We've tried everything. We've double-checked that he's an Administrator. We've made sure that all the folders are shared between us. We can both read and write to this folder location. We've gone into the preferences in iTunes itself and told it where we want it to find the iTunes Media folder. We also tried moving the iTunes media folder into the public shared music folder, and that didn't do a darn thing either. Nothing works.
    I feel like we are missing some critical step somewhere. Or maybe we screwed something up somehow. I don't know. All I know is that it seems crazy if we're not going to be able to access the exact same version of iTunes complete with playlists. What gives?
    Please help! Thank you!

    We've gone into the preferences in iTunes itself and told it where we want it to find the iTunes Media folder.
    This step is wrong. Make sure the iTunes folder in your profile is visible from his login, then press and hold down shift as you launch iTunes and browse to the iTunes Library.itl file in your library. It may be easier to store the library at C:\iTunes and have both accounts access it there.
    See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for advice on how to keep the backup copy of your library on the external drive up to date.

  • I have an iPod Classic 5th Gen.  After 1 month I've lost all my music and playlist files.  The only files left are music I have purchased from iTunes.  How do I restore my music library to my iPod?

    I have an iPod Classic 5th Generation.  I have not used it for about one month.  When I turned it on, I had lost all my music and playlist files.  The only thing left on the iPod was the music and audio books I have purchased from iTunes store.  I tried to delete everything on the ipod by sliding the hold button and then pressing the center button and the menu and I saw the apple logo on the screen but the iPod wouldn't reboot.  Any suggestions as to how I can delete everything on the iPod and then plug it into my computer to restore my music library?  I am using a Windows 7 operating system.

    Does both your Windows and Macbook iTunes have the same library of songs?
    if it  does then, much easier to proceed, else try to load the Macbook with the same library as Windows.
    Note that only one of the Macbook USB port is good for iPod Classic, the other is too slow and may cause timeout, and I would suggest disconnect all other USB devices, while you Restore or Sync the iPod Classic.
    Connect the iPod to the Mac, (if iTunes launch, please close it back.)
    Use Disk Utility -> select the iPod Device->First Aid->Repair (use option FAT32)
    After the Repair complete, eject the iPod.
    Connect back to the Mac
    When iTunes launch, Restore the iPod when Prompted, (use FAT32)
    Sync your library.
    Good Luck!

  • Need to get all the files, well music and video, from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary.

    Need to get all the files, (well music and video), from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary. (So basically sync the other way to normal)
    Laptop hard drive broke so had to buy a new one and obviously now need to sort out my itunes.
    Did try downloading all my purchased stuff onto itunes but it has missed some things off, and there are some files I did not purchase from itunes so need a way of getting them back on there.
    Sure this question has been asked a million times but can't find anything to help me on here so thought I'd ask.
    -Did have a look at going onto the start menu and opening the hidden items thing but couldn't see any reference to ipod or device on it so wasn't sure how to do it that way.
    -On itunes under my device when its connected, the section about manually restoring and backing up, would that help me? Because that says it will manually back up my ipod to my computer then could restore that back up, obviously I don't want to accidnetally get rid of everything on my ipod so didn't want to try that just in case without checking.
    (And yes I have disabled auto sync to device when conncected!)
    Can anyone help me please? Sorry if i've overcomplicated this!
    Thanks:)

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • My iPod deleted all my music and playlists on the iPod when synching!

    I turned on wifi on my iPod and opened up iTunes today to add music to the iPod. It was doing fine, then suddenly a song I was adding froze (it stayed grey on iTunes with a synching icon by it). It stayed like that for I don't know how long, I thought it was fine and so I wasn't looking. I look back a while later and every song on my iPod as displayed on iTunes has an exclamation point by it. I look at my iPod and it says "No Music." iTunes still knows all my playlists and songs and shows my iPod as having them all, except for all the exclamation points.
    What happened, and how do I get all my music and playlists back?
    I have an iPod Touch 4g with iOS 5, and iTunes 10.

    Currently trying to do a restore from a backup I made about a week ago. I don't know if that will help; I'll update when it's done.
    EDIT: Music still gone.
