Navigating through iTunes browser with keyboard problem

It used to be that if I clicked in the Artists browser window and typed PAT, the window would scroll down to Patricia Kass. This is no longer the case. The strange thing is that it does this (or does not) on both computers of mine (G4 MDD and 12" PB). So it is probably due to something I installed. I tried a little bit of everything: repairing permissions, creating a new user account, deleting preferences, deleting additional pref panes… with no success. Keyboard navigating through a finder window works perfectly. Anywhere else to look? Or should I just buy a new Mac Pro? Thanks for any help!

If you are on the iphone there is a blue "app store" and a purple "itunes app" They are completely separate from each other, so if you are looking for music in the app store thats your problem. If you are in itunes on your mac or pc then there should be there should be a yellow area at the top with an apple logo in it, literally right beneath that there is a bar with two arrows, a home icon, and what probably says app store. Click on the home icon and you should be back to the main itunes store. Hope this helps.

    Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

    I am a long time iTunes user but a new MacBook owner! I keep the majority of my music files on an external hard drive.   I'm trying to view all those files on my MacBook through iTunes.   With windows you would go to : File/Add To Library, and iTunes would add all your selected files to your music library BUT WOULD NOT COPY THEM TO YOUR HARD DRIVE.  In other words, if the external hard drive was connected, you could listen, drag/drop, and edit the files.   When I tried the same thing with my new MacBook... it actually started coping the files to my MacBook harddrive.  I don't want that, it's millions and millions of mp3's that I don't want to keep on my computer, only my external hard drive.   Can anyone help?    I'm sure it's something easy, I'm just so new to the Mac world.   Being an iPhone owner for many many years I'm picking up things fast, but this is getting the best of me!  Help !

    In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

  • ITunes sync with iPhoto Problem

    Hi everybody,
    i'm experiencing a tedious issue with iTunes and the iPhoto syncronization with i-devices.
    I'm running iTunes 10.4 , iPhoto 9.1.5 and i have an iPhone 4 and an iPad both running iOS 4.3.5.
    When i sync my iPhone with iTunes i usually chose only 3 separated iPhoto events and no problems occurs in copying the photos on the device.
    When i sync my iPad instead i get the following problem:
    the same as with the iPhone i choose a limited number of iPhoto events to sync with the iPad but the photos count shown in the iTunes screen is a lot different then the real number of the photos in the iPhoto events. To be clear:
    Event 1 contains 300 photos in iPhoto
    In the syncing screen of iTunes for the iPad Event 1 contains only 3 photo.
    As a result only 3 photo are transferred to the iPad.
    I tried to repair and rebuild the iPhoto library (alt+cmd+start iphoto) selecting all the options except the rebuild database from backup option. Nothing changed.
    I tried to reset iphoto syncing with the iPad doing as follow:
    connect iPad
    select "don'y sync photos"
    choose "Erase all photo from the Device"
    disconnect
    Reboot both devices
    reconnect iPad
    choose sync again.
    Nothing changed again
    At last i tried to erase the content of the "ipod photo cache" folder as suggested in other threads in this forums but when i reconnected the iPad and tried to resync nothing changed.
    Beaside that i tried even to control and repair permissions on the entire HD with Disc Utility but again i had no differences with the problem.
    Does anybody experienced the same problem? There is any known solution? Anything else i could try?
    Thanks everybody in advance for any support given.
    Giuliano.

    I am having a similar issue.  My iPhone 4, my wife's iPhone 3GS and my iPad 2 will start to sync with iTunes on my MacBook (running Lion) and when it begins to import photos from iPhoto, I get a (-50) error and the sync quits. Some events sync just fine but others trigger the error message. 
    I have deleted the iPod Photo Cache, reinstalled iTunes, reinstalled iPhoto, repaired and rebuilt my iPhoto library, restored my iPhone to factory settings, repaired permissions on my MacBook and anything else I could think of or found in previous postings.  Nothing has worked. 
    Please help!  This is incredibly frustrating and no one at Apple has been able to help.  Thank you!

  • Itunes/ipod with colour problem

    recently, ive been having problems with my ipod. i accidently dropped it onto concrete a couple of months back, and since then, it keeps coming up with the sad ipod icon. fortunately, tho im sure it doesnt do it any good, a swift smack to the back of it, and a restart usually gets it to work.
    a couple of days a go, i had a pop-up on itunes saying that my ipod was corrupt, and needed to be restored. i clicked cancel the first time, but it came up again when i restarted itunes. i done this, and everything was fine. no sad ipod icon. however, now itunes wont open when my ipod is connected, but when it isnt, it'll load fine. i've tried it on my other pc without the internet, but that says about the ipod software not being installed properly.
    i also cant access it via my computer on either computer, they both freeze, and stop responding.
    i didnt buy my ipod from apple, so im pretty sure i cant just send it to them to get it fixed/whatever they can do. is there anything i can do, or would it be easier just to get a newer ipod?
    ipod with colour   Windows XP Pro  

    if still does not solve try this
    . Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

  • Can't able to buy itunes store with several problems

    As I mentioned before,
    , it appears that of your devices was linked to possible unauthorized activity on the iTunes Store.
    Because of this, I strongly recommend using a different device or computer to use the iTunes Store.
    Additionally, it appears that your account is not in compliance with the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions, so we will not be able to resolve the error message you’ve encountered.
    This is the message form apple support.
    I explained them, i just bought iphone 5 second hand and started my own account and filled 200USD with itunes gift cards and i went local repair shop for my iphone 5 Home sleep mode bottom is not working. and after that, i clicked purchased a game and apple wouldn't let me, it said ( contact support ). I contacted them and explained and wait almost about 3 days their reply as i showed about that message.But i can purchase all free apps without problems but i changed my password to be secure and then i must need to verify my payment and i clicked none (because i have money in my credit store). however it said contact support. Now i am doomed , my account and my phone is useless now. Apple senior adviser strongly recommended i am better change devices to use.
    What a nice recommend! I am not rich , that's why i bought second hand iphone and get doomed. if i am able to buy other devices to use , how i contact apple for wasting my time. and the next is if i sell this phone again to others, the buyers will get troubles like me. I don't also know my device was linked to possible unauthorized activity on the iTunes Store. and the next thing is my account is not compliance with itunes store terms and conditions. I set my valid US address ,but i used it from over sea. Millions of US people used to buy itunes store from oversea , why i am the only one person that getting trouble.
    Please suggest me and advice me ,. I hope apple staffs saw my message
    Thank you

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    If you were using the US store when you weren't in the US then you are violating the store's terms of use (which you agreed to) :
    The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.
    If you were using your phone to purchase content from the US store when not in the US then that might be the unauthorised activity that they are referring to. If you contact iTunes Support and ask them to remove the balance from your account so that you can put your correct address on your account (you can't change countries whilst you have a balance) then you might be able to use the account.

  • How could it be possible to completely restrict other users to view any sites through firefox browser with the help of password ?

    I want complete control of firefox browser for my computer.
    For example:
    There is a similar feature in Internet Explorer which is called 'Content Adviser'.
    To restrict others for viewing sites through Internet Explorer here is what has to be done:
    1. Click to open Internet Explorer.
    2. Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
    3. Click the Content tab, and then, under Content Advisor, do one of the following:
    *Click Enable. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    *If you've previously enabled Content Advisor, click Settings, and then type the supervisor password. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    4. To allow others to view restricted content, click the General tab, and then select the Supervisor can type a password to allow users to view restricted content check box.
    5. To allow others to view unrated content, select the Users can see websites that have no rating check box, and click OK.
    6. If a supervisor password has not previously been set up for Content Advisor, you will be prompted to create one.

    Looks like verdana is selected to 'off' in font book. Not sure if this could be the reason as to why i'm experiencing problems.

  • ITunes sync with cable problem (WiFi sync works OK though)

    When I connect my Iphone 4S to iTunes (win 7 premium 64bit) and sync songs/images, they end up all halfcomplete and glitchy on my iphone.
    For example: Songs are incomplete and glitchy (begins in the middle of the song when played etc.)
                          Some images are totally black, or half glitch pixelated etc.
    Ive tried with another cable/USB-ports, still same problem. Thinking about trying another computer but since the iphone can only sync to one iTunes at a time, its quite inconvienient..
    When I WiFi-sync it syncs OK though.
    Any ideas what could be wrong? Computer, iphone hardware etc?

    Plug your phone in with the cable - then in your device menu, you'll see "Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi" as an option in Summary page under Options.  The rest will be history.

  • Navigating through iTunes Store

    Heys guys,
    I'm being trying to get this done for so long but I just can't seem to get it.
    I've bought an iphone,downloaded iTunes, been accessing the Apps store and puchasing applications.
    My question is: I can't seem to navigate away from the APPS STORE! I've been trying and trying but i seem to just never can get to the page where I can download music,and videos and those american idol stuff that Seacreast keep saying are available on iTunes(not refering to podcasts btw). I dont really mind paying for the stuff but I've been stuck on the Apps page as the supposed 'homepage' for my iTunes store.
    Thanks so much for reading. Apparently i haven't been able to find any related trouble shooting or discussion as my problem is too elementary, so any help would be really fantastic news to me.

    If you are on the iphone there is a blue "app store" and a purple "itunes app" They are completely separate from each other, so if you are looking for music in the app store thats your problem. If you are in itunes on your mac or pc then there should be there should be a yellow area at the top with an apple logo in it, literally right beneath that there is a bar with two arrows, a home icon, and what probably says app store.

  • CompUSA USB 2.0 Card, iTunes, iPod with Video Problem

    I just purchased a new 80 gig iPod with video and had to upgrade my MDD Duak 1 Ghz for USB 2.0, as transfer in USB 1 takes far too long. I purchased a card from CompUSA (SKU 304244) which adds two external ports only. When I attempt to transfer files into the iPod it seems to function at the faster speed, but will then freeze on a file, not allowing me to eject the iPod or sometimes to even force quit iTunes. I have tried this several times and there is no consistency regarding how many files have transferred or their size as to when the freeze will occur.
    I originally tried this without adding a driver (using OS X 10.4.8), then I added the one from the included disc - same results. I then re-installed the 10.4.8 updater thinking this might have a more recent driver, but things are still the same.
    I don't have any other USB 2 devices to use to test the card.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • I have problems with gameplay(zuma blitz and bejeweled blitz)in the firefox browser window. the game is latent and play is very jerky..can u please help. i played them in the IE8 browser with no problem

    i've tried playing zuma blitz and bejeweled blitz in the firefox browser window and the play is very jerky and slow.

    Just had the same thing happen AGAIN. Suddenly - a blank iPlayer Desktop which failed to download new programmes. All previous programmes were still in the repository folder. This time the sequence I outlined previously didn't work.
    What eventually got things working this time was to reinstall Adobe Air as part of the BBC iPlayer Desktop installation process - and not separately.
    So:
    a) Move iPlayer to trash.
    b) Find and delete the following folder: Users/Yourname/Library/Preferences/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDBBD 723A6DA9D.1
    c) Find and delete the following folder:
    Users/Yourname/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDB BD723A6DA9D.1
    d) Find and delete the following folder:
    Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository/cache
    e) Find and run: Applications/Utilities/Adobe AIR Uninstaller
    f) Empty the Trash. I found that bits and pieces of BBC iPlayer were still running despite having been quit and dumped in the trash - and so it wouldn't allow me to complete this part. Restarted the computer, then empty the trash.
    g) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository and rename it repository2
    h) Reinstall iPlayer. It will tell you that you have no programmes to view. Quit the programme.
    i) Find and delete the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository
    j) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository2 and rename it to repository.
    k) Relaunch iPlayer
    It would be terribly nice if the BBC or Adobe stopped buggering about with this . . .

  • Navigating through flash site with animation

    Hi all,
    Obviously i am very new to flash as i think this must be a very basic question....i just can't get my head around it, so would really appreciate some advice.
    Basically, what i want to do is have a home page with some images and things on it, and a menu.
    When the user clicks on a menu button, i want the images on the homepage to animate away, and be replaced with the chosen page (animated in).
    I understand how to animate things using Tweens in the timeline and also in As3 using the Tween Class, but for the animation i'd like to do it's so much easier to use the timeline (i don't think i'd be able to use as3 to do really complicated things yet).
    I can figure out how to make the home page disappear, but i can't figure out how to then animate in the correct page. If anyone can point me in the direction of a good tutorial or just give me some hints i'd be sooo grateful!! I think i'm just struggling to get my head into it.
    Thanks.

    THanks AGAIN moccamaximum!! I feel like i'm being a complete *******!!
    I've added an alpha=0 box over all the buttons in the main stage. In the script on the main stage i've added a statement to make it invisible, then if hideImage() or showImage() is called, i make the box visible so that the user can't click any buttons. I'm now having a problem calling the box from the img1 or img2 child movieclips. I've set a new keyframe on the very last frame of the img1 and img2 movieclip and tried to use parent.box.visible=false; but that didn't work....it said possibly undefined variable. I must be missing something and my ignorance of flash is getting really frustrating -  i need to learn faster!!
    How do i access the box mc from the img1 and img2 movieclips in the as3?
    I've changed the main actionscript to this:
    menupoint1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startAnimation);
    menupoint2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startAnimation);
    // 'box' movieclip set to invisible
    box.visible=false;
    //make object from Images Classes
    var img1_mc:img1 = new img1();
    var img2_mc:img2 = new img2();
    //addallImages, but make them invisible
    addChild(img1_mc);
    addChild(img2_mc);
    var currentImage="";//use this variable to hold the currently active image
    function showImage(e:TimerEvent):void {
        box.visible=true;
        this[currentImage].play();
    function hideImage():void {
        box.visible=true;
        this[currentImage].play();
    var animation_timer:Timer = new Timer(1000,1); // use this timer to create a pause bewtween the animations
    animation_timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, showImage);
    function startAnimation(e:MouseEvent) {
        if (currentImage!="")
            hideImage();
        animation_timer.start();
        switch (e.target.name)
            case "menupoint1" :
                currentImage="img1_mc";
                break;
            case "menupoint2" :
                currentImage="img2_mc";
                break;

  • Help with keyboard problem

    i spiled liquid into my keyboard and the backlit is all irregular each key has its own intensity how do i fix it

    What kind of liquid?
    Turn upsidedown so liquid can drain.
    Absolutely do not try booting the MBP for at least 48 hours.
    Depending on the details of the spill, you're probably going to want to remove the bottom cover to help the insides dry. Pointing a fan at it would be a good idea. Some people put it in a very large plastic bag with dry/uncooked rice in it the bag (not in the MBP) to attract the moisture. Here is some spill info:

    I can't send out e-mails! I get a connection error message.

    The only related thing to this occurrence is that I received a notice from Firefox recommending that I disable a Skype extension, which I did. Not sure if this is connected.

    Well, I had already done those things before.  The message I got when I tried is:
    An error occurred while sending mail.  The mail server responded: From address not verified - see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html.  Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.
    I had input the email address without the @verizon.net extension.  That's exactly how I input it in the pop3 set-up for receiving e-mail and it works there.
    So I went to the link that is referenced in the error message.  It basically had me go to my Yahoo mail account page.  I was directed to add an account with a different email address.  A verification code was then sent to me via email that I then had to input into the new account's setup page in order to activate my Yahoo mail for smtp use.  Once I input the code and validated I was then able to send e-mails just fine with Thunderbird.  I was able to use my @verizon.net email address and not the new account I had created.
    Bottom line - I had to activate/validate my account before I could send email.  I had not read about this anywhere when trying to figure out what was wrong.
