New itunes can't get my head around it

Hello.
Recently downloaded the latest version of itunes and I honestly have tried to get my head around it with plenty of good will but it just doesn't work for me. So i was wondering am I the only one or are there others? would love to hear about what you like and what you don't like here is my comments:
genius playlist:
why can't i see full list of previous songs played? if I would like to hear a specific previous song in the list I cannot just click it
why can't i access song sub-menu? old itunes you could right click on the song and search for the file location for example?
why do I need seperate windows to open when opening specific items such as downloads or genius why can't they just feature in the main screen?
but my biggest gripe with it is that it just generally feels overcroweded. the previous version was so clear and easy on the eye with enough information to know what was listed but not too much to make you lose focus on what you are after. This one offers so much information on everything that I cannot seem to focus any more (maybe not bright enough )
but seriously as an example of overcrowding, it now lists all the TV series I have previously purchased and removed as already watched. Although no longer on my main hard drive it comes up as available through iclouds. I specifically stored them in a seperate hard drive to not overcrowed my itunes now they are back. and the fact that you can select to only show the non viewed TV episodes doesn't help as it shows series I have bought but haven't downloaded yet .
am I the only one and starting to become a grumpy old man? should I just accept and adapt? looking forward to hear other peoples thoughts

I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before).
Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour.
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (but perhaps it does more)
If you want to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

Can't get my head around creating audio

Hi,
It's all a bit too mathematic looking for me, and I should be ashamed of myself really as I can handle complicated music sequencers, but....I can't get my head around creating the files as detailed here:
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Music-Movies/HTML5-Audio.html
It's got codes listed, but what do I do with them, where do I put them, how do I put them in my page etc?
I've already got video on my site which I converted and plays OK on a PC without quicktime, but my music MP3 files won't play on some PC's, so I was looking at the above as the solution. But I'm completely lost how to start?
Can someone run through the process from step 1, step 2 etc - I would be very grateful.
Thanks.

The stuff that I wrote in the section of iWeb for Musicians that you are referring to was meant as an introduction to HTML5 and how it will be used in the future. I will update it when time permits!
Right now, Safari, Chrome and Firefox support this although the last needs an OGG file which is a pain!. Internet Explorer, of course, hasn't even got around to HTML5 yet except in V 9 which is still beta as far as I know.
There seems to be at least half of PC users still sticking with IE Vs 6 & 7 so there's a long way to go before HTML5 is the king.
Flash is still the way to go to reach most viewers as QuickTime is far less popular and there are problems when you try to load more than two or three files onto a web page. Due to the fact that iOS does not support flash its a question of providing an alternative.
My, short term, solution is to provide a flash player on a page with a link to one for iOS users which has the files loaded as HTML5. The other alternative is to provide both as shown in the second example on this page.....
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Music-Movies/Wordpress-Flash-HTML5-Audio .html
There are a number of solutions for video available which play them as flash and fallback to HTML5 or vice versa and I gave some examples of these and how they can be adapted to audio.

Boffins can u get your head around this?

Hi im trying to implment a data structure which works exactly like Internet Explorers history.
I could really do with some input and code alteration here. My head is starting to swim around the diff scenerios.
So what it needs to do is add items to the history and then be able to go backwards through them and then go forwards again. However if you submit a new item then obvioulsy you lose the forward option since those infront get erased. Can any1 help me out here pls?

Hi im trying to implment a data structure which works
exactly like Internet Explorers history.IE history (or any browser's history) works far more like a stack than a queue, so trying to implement it as a circular queue will bring nothing but confusion.
You also not only need the pages in the history, but an indicator of where the current page is in the history. If you go back, you do not remove items from the history. However, if you go back and then click on another link, you need to remove the items in the history beyond the current page.

New Itunes can't get past updating library

I have searched the site for ways to fix my problem,from totaly deleting itunes to deleted my preferences, nothing has worked. However I do beleive that the problem is in my itunes library and I am pretty sure that it is a movie. The last version of itunes would close down when I tried to acess the movies files.
So basicly I get the "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" message when I try to start itunes, I am pretty sure it is a file in my library, I was wondering if there is a way to delete one file from my library without deleting them all, right now I can't even get to one file.

After letting it cook for a good while (about 10 minutes) it finally resolved. Going to test on another device to see whether this is uniform across all devices, or just the servers being lazy, or what.

Can't get my head around Power Query Append

I have 1 spreadsheet with 6 almost identical tabs. I have added each one to PowerQuery and pre-processed it. The result of these 6 queries are 6 identical tables. Now I want to combine them into a single table an import into my data model.
I see there are 2 approaches but neither are intuitive to me. I just want a single query that I select "import to data model" that will append all the data from the other 6 queries.
Can someone give me a step by step guide? All the sites I have looked at tell me how to combine 2 queries but I can't seem to scale the concept.
I realise this seems like a really dumb question - sorry in advance.
With hind site, I think I could use this approach
datapigtechnologies.com/blog/index.php/using-power-query-to-combine-data-from-multiple-excel-files-into-one-table/
I will probably do that anyway.
But I would still appreciate some guidance on the best way to append my 6 tables into 1.

Hi Mally,
Thanks for the feedback. Besides typing in the formula as Chris, Curt and Faisal mentioned, you could also apply Append Queries operations to append tables one by one. Note that if you launch "Append Queries" from the Power Query ribbon tab you will get
a new query every time, but if you do it from the Query Editor dialog ribbon, Power Query adds every Append operation as a new step within the current query.
We are well aware that this 1-by-1 append operation is a shortcoming in the Power Query UX and have plans to address it by letting users add more than one query (i.e. more than one dropdown) in the Append Queries dialog, which will effectively generate a
similar formula to what others on this thread have proposed.
We still don't have details on the timeline for the availability of this improvement to Append Queries, but I wanted to let you know that we are planning to address it.
Thanks for your feedback and for using Power Query.
Regards,
M.

Can't get my head around OOP

hey
i'm pretty new to java and i've been given an assignment which involved me having to create an addressbook. In which i had to have a class(person) which contains the getter and setters for an arraylist in the addressbook class.
i've managed to code the entire assignment alrdy but it's all under 1 giant main method.
So what i'm asking really is, does anyone have any usefull sites that show how to like begin a task like this.
btw i got 17/20 for the assignemtn but i found it extremly time consumming when i had a bug and had to scan through my entire main to fix it.

Two fundamentals I learned about programming have served me well as I went from Fortran to C to C++ to Java:
Don't Repeat Yourself - no duplicate code.
Decomposition - keep methods small. Methods should do one thing well.
My general rule of thumb is that if I have to scroll to read a method, it's probably doing too much. It's a sign that I should be decomposing it into several smaller methods.

HT204371 Hallo - I'm sure this question has been asked many times before but still can't get my head around it

I have an 'n' version Airport Express (1st Generation) and want to use it to AirPlay music from iTunes on my Mac to my HiFi in the next room. That's all I want to use it for. Have set it up to join an existing wireless network. However it will only work with an ethernet cable connected to the router. Loses the green light when cable is unplugged. As the hifi is in the next room I want it to work wirelessly, otherwise there'll be cables everywhere (as at present - ugh!) What do I have to do? What setting needs to be changed. Thanks.

Well, I'd all but given up and decided I'd live with it ethernet connected with wires draped everywhere...then I had another look this moring and found this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2098
I have a non Apple, older (Thompson) router. After a factory reset, and when going through the 'join existing network' procedure when sked for the WEP password you need to put a $ before the password...and hay presto...the set up completes and...AirPlay works! I suspect many might not have discovered this page of support information and will have been as frustrated as me for many many hours!

Just can't get my head around onLoadInit/movieClipLoader

Hi,
I am loading images into flash from a mySQL database with php
using this code:
myData.onLoad = function(succes){
if(succes){
for(var i=0; i<this.cant; i++){
this.ref["target_mc"+i].loadMovie(this["image"+i])
} else trace("Error loading data");
I need to set what size these images display at as they need
to be shown as thumbnails as well as main images. I have learnt
that it is best to do this using the onLoadInit and moviecliploader
actionscript but I just can't understand what they are doing in the
help files. Does anyone have any advice or code examples that might
help. This is my first venture into using flash with a database so
the syntax loses me at times.
thanks
Gavin

Actually the MovieClipLoader is intended to make loading
external jpg files more controllable...it has nothing to do with
loading data from a database.
The MovieClipLoader requires 3 pieces to work:
1. the MCL object
2. A Listener object to listen to Events
3. Event functions (like onLoadInit) which are called by the
Listener when Events happen

Really cannot get my head around Apple ID and iCloud

Hi
I have been reading up on various posts and threads and it seems there is no one definitive answer.
I have an Apple ID (this uses one email address) from the beginning of time when iTunes first came out. Subsequently, I then had a .mac account (this uses a different email address) which has grown and become iCloud.
On my new iPhone 6, I cannot get my head around which affects what and which calendars, to dos are here or there. It is a right mess.
Can someone kindly tell me how can I simply my dumb existence? Perhaps I am getting too old for tech.
I think at one point I wanted the Apple ID for personal use and the iCloud account for business use.

I spent FOUR hours on the phone with Apple yesterday and still no wiser.
Few of my apps work. I backed up my iPhone 4S on iOS 6.0 and restored it onto new iPhone 6 on iOS 8.
The weather app shows all the 10 locations I have saved in there as 32 deg Celsius yesterday but deleting and re-adding corrects that issue I think it was Steve Jobs that coined the phrase "It just works!" - God bless him! He would turn in his grave I am sure at the state of affairs so few years on.
The motto should be refreshed to "It just doesn't work".
I am so frustrated with this that I reckon I am going to be returning the phone over the weekend if I cannot get any useful advice on this issue.
I have no idea whether all 10,000+ photos I have are properly synced. Apple advised me to use the iCloud Photo Beta but then said they cannot guarantee it. Obviously as it is in Beta stage. Why would anyone take that risk?

Getting my head around DocumentListener and how inner classes work

So I'm trying to get my first Swing GUI up and running and I cannot get my head around the DocumentListener.
I have a JTextArea element called textArea which has the following code for it's listener:
public class Gui extends JFrame {
    public Gui() {
        // Add the Text area
        JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea(textDoc);
        add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        textArea.getDocument().addDocumentListener(new DocumentListener() {
            public void changeUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
            public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
                saveText();
            public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
            public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
                throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet.");
    public void saveText() {
        System.out.println("saving");
}Now of course this will not work. The method saveText() is in the parent class. So how do I invoke this method???
Instead of calling the saveText() method I could interact with the variables of the parent class so why can't I invoke the method?

OllieL wrote:

saveText();
}Now of course this will not work. The method saveText() is in the parent class. So how do I invoke this method???Really? What happened when you tried? What does "will not work" mean? A compile error?
Anyway, if there actually were a conflict (there isn't here, that's not why it's not working) you can always qualify the member further:
//for instance member
Gui.this.saveText();
//for static member
Gui.otherMethod();

Getting my head around SOFS

Hi,
I am really struggling to get my head around how to actually build a SOFS using server 2012 R2 which is supposed to be able to use iSCSI disks. I am trying to provide high storage availability should a storage system fail in one of our buildings. this is
what I have:
Building 1:
1 Server 2012 R2
1 NAS which supports the creation of iSCSI targets and LUNs
Building 2: - the same as above.
what I want to achieve is a storage system (probably using SMB) for hyper-v virtual machines reside on, whereby any server and/or storage system becomes unavailable and the storage stays up in an active-active node. I have created 3 iSCSI targets and LUNs
on each NAS, on server 1 i attached to NAS1 iSCSI targets, on server 2 i attached to NAS2 iSCSI targets.
I am no unsure how to get these into one cluster shared pool/space. I have got as far as making a storage pool on each of my 2 nodes under "pools" in failover cluster manager I have cluster pool1 owned by node 1, and cluster pool2 owned by node2.
I created a virtual disk for cluster pool1. then created a volume on that. under disks in FCM it shows assigned to available storage, owner node1
I tried to create a virtual disk for cluster pool2 but it wont attach, in server manager i see an error and trying to attach it shows "Error attaching or detaching virtual disk. failed to attach virtual disk to node2. access denied"
i can see in FCM it has been added to the disks as available storage but is offline and owned by node1 - i cant move the ownership.
am I understanding SOFS wrong here or should my scenario be possible?
thanks
Steve

Hi,
thanks for such a great detailed answer, you have given a lot there. just a couple of things though:
your point 3 states online VM's cannot be deduplicated - are you referring to Server 2012 or R2, as I believe in R2 they now can be Deduped. Does StarWind support Deduplication or is it best to use Microsofts version? can StarWind Dedupe be used in a HA
image?
in point 5 you have said about SQL and Exchange cant be used in Hyper-v replica. are you saying that if I had a SQL or Exchange virtual server I can't replicate it to a hyper-v replica server, why would this be? can StarWind be used to send a replica of
the VM's to another destination server and function similar to hyper-v replica? I like the idea of 30 seconds replications for servers which are close enough for us to do this, and the 15 minutes for servers in further locations.
thank you
Steve
1) With R2 MSFT had improved VDI scenarios. But still deduplication of a running VMs is not supported. See:
What's New in Data Deduplication in Windows Server 2012 R2
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn486808.aspx
Important
In Windows Server 2012 R2, the performance of VHDs optimized through Data Deduplication is fully tested and supported only on VDI workloads. The same performance gains are not guaranteed for non-VDI workloads running on Hyper-V virtual machines; nor does Microsoft
offer support for these scenarios in Windows Server 2012 R2.
Extending Data Deduplication to new workloads in Windows Server 2012 R2
http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2013/07/31/extending-data-deduplication-to-new-workloads-in-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
Is Hyper-V in general supported with a Deduplicated volume?
We spent a lot of time to ensure that Data Deduplication performs correctly on general virtualization workloads. However, we focused our efforts to ensure that the performance of optimized files is adequate for VDI scenarios. For non-VDI scenarios (general
Hyper-V VMs), we cannot provide the same performance guarantees.
As a result, we do not support deduplication of arbitrary in use VHDs in Windows Server 2012 R2. However, since Data Deduplication is a core part of the storage stack, there is no explicit block in place that prevents it from being enabled on arbitrary workloads.
Sure we (StarWind) do support running VMs deduplication.
2) You can replicate running VMs with SQL Server and Exchange with Hyper-V Replica the problem is you're not going to have consistent content on the destination side. See:
Support policy for Microsoft SQL Server products that are running in a hardware virtualization environment
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956893/en-us
If multiple SQL VMs are tightly coupled with one another, individual VMs can failover to the disaster recovery (DR) site but SQL high
availability (HA) features inside the VM need to be removed and re-configured after VM failover. For this reason the following SQL Server features are not supported on Hyper-VM Replica:
Availability Groups
Database mirroring
Failover Cluster instances
Log shipping
Replication
Does Exchange Support Hyper-V Replica
http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/07/29/exchange-and-hyper-v-replica-support.aspx
In short, Exchange does not support the Hyper-V Replica feature. Exchange has a long history of supporting virtualisation from Exchange
2003 onwards. It is fully supported to install Exchange 2007, 2010 or 2013 as
a virtual machine on Hyper-V, but using the Hyper-V replica feature is not supported.
The Exchange 2010 virtualization support requirements and Exchange
2013 virtualization requirements pages are rather detailed in what must and must not be done on an Exchange virtual machine or hypervisor. If what you want to do is not listed, then that should set an alarm bell off….
The Exchange virtualization support statement has never listed Hyper-V replica, though some of the Hyper-V content has alluded to running Exchange as a replicated VM.
You cannot use StarWind to replicate VMs (not any more at least) as we're working on a LU level so you replicate all "linked" VMs located on LU/CSV.
Hope this helped
StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

I am no musician, but have owned an iMac now for around four years. During that time I have had Garageband installed. I have dipped in and out very occasionally as I would like nothing more than to be able to get my head around it just for my own amusemen

I am no musician, but have owned an iMac now for around four years. During that time I have had Garageband installed. I have dipped in and out very occasionally as I would like nothing more than to be able to get my head around it just for my own amusement really. I would at least like to be able to record my electric guitar with loops and tracks etc, just try to be a bit creative and see what comes out. The problem that I have is that perhaps its me, but every time I try to get to grips with this software, I just can't seem to get my head around it, even to begin to do something. I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that. I have also recently purchased a Rocksmith RealTone Cable to connect my guitar. I can sometimes get a sound come out, but nothing to brilliant. And every time I try to set something up, it just doesn't seem to work out. I end up hitting buttons and controls in the simple hope that I may hit the correct control in order to get some sort of result. But I'm kind of fumbling in the dark with this. I have trawled the Internet just trying to find either a good manual or video tutorials for absolute beginners, but there just simply doesn't seem to be anything of that nature out there and what there is appears always to be very sketchy and not particularly detailed in explaining anything properly, and so I always find myself seemingly jumping in with both feet and just struggling to try and find a foothold with this on how to really begin. It is so frustrating as I can see the fantastic potential of this software, but just can't understand how to use it properly. If there is anyone out there who may be able to offer me some advice with this, I would be most grateful indeed... Many Thanks.

I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:
