Playing Whack-A-Mole in List View

Got a folder with hundreds of files in it. Like, say, the Downloads folder. And I'm downloading lots of files. While downloading, I go into this folder and try to select 20 items by clicking on one and dragging through the rest. Works fine, unless while dragging, a new file comes in. It screws up my selection. It may shift my selection up a line or two or down a line or two (don't recall which way at the moment). Also, if I have a file selected but I have scrolled away from it when a new file comes in, my view of this folder is moved so that the file I have selected is in view.
I see this when I'm downloading a series of files and I'm in the folder trying to select stuff that's all over the place. Impossible. It's like playing whack-a-mole. Anyone have a technique to get around this? (Probably not many have seen this.)

Try quitting the Music app and then reset the iPhone like I describe below.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order.

    I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order. The "Apply Sort Field" and "Same album does not work, but ti is only these two RCA albums that do this. All other albums remain intact. Need help with this minor problem. Thanks.

    UPDATE: This behavior (to an extent) still happens when "Repeat Album" is off. Instead of an infinite loop, it goes through all the tracks on the album (unsuccessfully) and kicks me out to the Album overview screen. Going back to list of Albums and tapping the Album again brings up "No Content: You can download music from the iTunes Store" but that screen immediately kicks me back to list of Albums.
    So I am just even more confused now.

  • Is there any way that I can have songs in an iTunes Playlist without having the songs play in my regular music list.  For instance: can I have a Playlist of Christmas songs without having them play in the routine shuffle of my music library?  Thanks -Rog

    Select the songs, press CTRL+I to Get Info, on the Options tab set Skip when shuffling to Yes.
    If you want to the hide the songs from your main music view you could consider changing the media kind to audiobooks or podcasts if you don't mind the side effect of them showing up there instead.

  • How to get 'List' view with playlist within Music

    The Music Ap is usually listed along the botton of iPad.
    With in that ap we have menus across the bottom of the screen.
    Within the 'Playlists' music I have thumb nail icon views only.  See below:
    I would like a 'list view' - no icons.  See below
    Where do I change this option?
    Thank you

    Assuming I understand what you are asking, you can't. What you see is what you get. When you open a created play list however, what you get is a simple list of tracks.
    You might investigate some alternate music players in the app store to see if one does what you want.

  • HT5772 How do I delete podcast episodes that I don't want to keep without having them stay in my List view in iTunes and clog it up?  I have some episodes that I've listened to that I want to keep, but others I want to delete.

    Using iTunes on my MacBookPro, I find that when I want to delete selected podcast eisodes, they still stay in my List view with the cloud symbol next to them. I don't want them in my List view. I want them gone. I don't want to download them ever again. I do keep some episodes so I don't want to do the draconian thing and delete all podcast episodes once I've heard them. The other problem I have with trying to delete episodes is that some podcasts then have the same episodes pop back up as though I haven't listened to them. I've deleted a bunch of Science Friday episodes only to have them download again ready to hear. Not only that, but some episodes will finish playing or stop playing in the middle of an episode and a random podcast will start playing. Think! does that. GAH!!
    Does anyone know a workaround? The same nonsense happens in any iTunes view I try.
    <Edited by Host>

    You can delete photos from individual albums but not from the camera roll.  If you try to delete a photo from camera roll it will be deleted from all other albums ("locations") that contain the photo.  This is because the actual photo is in the camera roll (the albums only contain links to the photo in camera roll, not the actual photo).

  • Is it possible to show play counts in Artists or Album view in iTunes 11?

    There are some beautiful new changes to iTunes 11, but also some things I really like have been taken away. One of them is being able to see my playcouts as I browse. Not just in the playlist or songs list view.
    Does anyone know if there is any way to show play counts in Artists or Album view in iTunes 11?

    typo... sorry
    I have 3 product codes that I want to report on - Mold, Repair, and Production.  For Mold and Repair, I want to print out only the top 1 job for each order.  For Production, I want to print all jobs.  I have GH1 to group by ProdCode.  GH2 groups by Orders.  Detail A section has a formula to suppress if ProdCode = Production.  Detail B suppresses if ProdCode is not Production.  I can get the suppresion to work but I don't know how to get the Top 1 to show when Detail A is shown.
    Obviously I'm new at Crystal Reports - about 3 weeks.

  • How do I show the location of songs in the normal list view?

    Hi,
    I always used J River Media Center to synch my ipod nano, because ITunes was tragically slow and having issues with all media being on an external drive. Also, Media Center plays everything and synchs everything. But now I've bought the Ipos Nano 5th Gen 16gb, and guess what: it won't work with anything but ITunes .... sigh .... it seems to upload the songs, but then the Nano doesn't recognize it as a playable file.
    I have spend a lot of time for a very simple feature which I'm sure is somewhere in ITunes, really sorry if this question is simply TOO stupid. I know I can view the location of any song by right clicking the song and going to "show Info", but I would like to see the location of the songs in the normal List view, especially since I have some duplicates and want to make sure I am deleting the right one .....
    Any assistance much much much appreciated!
    thanks!

    You can sync the iPod with MediaMonkey. See this article => Music Organizer MediaMonkey Runs Rings Around iTunes.

  • Songs not showing up in list view

    I recently discovered that if I display my library under the list view some of the artists are not showing up. If I change the view to the one with all the album covers it is there. Also, if I am in list view and search for the missing artist it displays everything and plays fine. Anyone know what gives?

    Have you tried trashing your preferences?
    Faults like this can sometimes be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
    Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and quite safe).
    With Pref Manager, you can backup the Prefs first, then if trashing makes no difference, you can restore all your settings.
    If you trash them and don't restore them, you will need to go over your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then you can ditch the bad prefs and restore from your (Digital Rebellion) backup.
    It's worth a try otherwise, there is some conflict.
    I suggest you create a new user account on the problem machine and see whether FCP X works OK from there.
    What codec is the problem clip?

  • List View shows all tracks of CD, grid view is missing tracks

    I imported all my CDs into my iTunes library over the holidays. Over 40 GB of music. Now, I discover a flakey problem. On a CD, if I view via list view, the library shows 13 tracks. When switching to grid view and double-clicking on album, it shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12
    When I use windows explorer, the iTunes folder only shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12. Yet I can play all 13 tracks on PC and iPod. Where are the 'missing' tracks being stored and why don't they show in both views? This is happening on quite a lot of the CDs that were imported, but others are fine.

    This is most likely due to the content of the ID3 tags in the imported files. If a track features more than one artist, iTunes uses the first artist in the list to sort and organise the files. So one or more files imported from a CD might be stored in another artist's folder. iTunes plays the full album because it knows where all the tracks are (by virtue of the iTunes library database).
    To get around this problem, edit the information for all the tracks on an album so the the "Artist" tag has the main artist first in the list.

  • ITunes 11: Can't remove Genres column in playlist List View

    In previous versions, when playing playlists, I use List View, displaying only Artists and Albums. In iTunes 11, I'm unable to remove the Genres column; the items in View > Column Browser are grayed out.
    Also, ⌘-L (Go to Current Song) doesn't work.

    Just uncheck "Genres."

  • Infopath to design WYSIWYG Custom List Views on 2013

    We are migrating to SPO 2013.  Playing with InfoPath 2013.
    I know it's dieing, but InfoPath has always frustrated me.  Some much potential yet so out of touch with what users seem to need IMO.  Far from user friendly enough to let users maintain their own forms too IMO.
    But really my biggest gripe with SharePoint in general is that it misses the mark with Custom lists and Views.
    Why doesn't SharePoint and/or InfoPath address the need for more flexibility and Design options in the Custom List View. My users are constantly looking to build View pages that to reflect paper forms they use to have.  They always seem to
    have to settle for the way the list view looks.  InfoPath does not seem to address Read Only Views of List Data ??
    - No List Mode (View vs Edit)
    - No Label control
    - Field Names do not display unless you hover over the control. 
    - No WYSIWYG drag and drop designer - only grid cells.
    - No easy or clear way to get URL Query string values
    - No way to build complex expression fields, say I want to build a URL Link using some list field data and the ID from the URL query string on the form? Possible?
    - Better/easier way to join and bind in multiple Lists and multiple data sources?
    One other challenge we have is that SSRS can't be integrated into SPO and is being dropped from Azure.  The SSRS designer is leaps and bounds better than InfoPaths IMO.
    Considering SPO 2013, might there be another product or IDE coming in (maybe FoSL) that will address all of these? How about Visio, Excel, PDF
    Thank You.

    Thank You for your response.
    A little of both :)   ... But am very interested in hearing about practical development options.  But the catch is that we are waiting to see if something shows up that will enable users to build these views without development.
    I have been seeing new Apps show up on the o365 store that look promising, but none of them are quite there yet IMO ...  like Ninetex forms, Lightning Data Viewer, BlackCompass Data Viewer, List Designer, OData query Builder.  We've
    actually demoed every single one of them.
    We have also been playing with oData Connections from Excel and Visio web Access Web parts.  We can't get Data connections to refresh from Excel apparently unless we buy Power BI and we are still trying to figure out Visio on SPO.
    I know we can create a SharePoint 2013 App that binds in SPO List data and use .NET controls to arrange them on a page.  But that would put a developer and a deployment process in front of that View.  We can also use SSRS and create a one row report
    - but SPO does not support integrated SSRS and we would have to authenticate  on-Prem SSRS against  ADFS which we have not yet configured here.

  • How to Set Album list view as default

    MacBook Pro 3,1
    SL 10.6.7
    iTunes 10.3.1
    inverted-store-links
    if i use the »inverted-store-links« i always get the list-view instead the before used album-list.
    i think the same problem with playlists always shown in list-view by default.
    maybe there is a function at com.apple.itunes.plsit to set the default view.
    any other ideas are welcome.
    thanks

    you could use this script:
    Change Hidden iTunes Preferences v2.4 
    This application will allow you to invoke hidden iTunes preferences:
    Show "Library" playlist
    Changing view setting is global
    Allow half-stars in ratings
    Hide "Ping" buttons
    Show/hide arrow links -- to either search the iTunes Store or search your library
    Load complete iTunes Store preview before playing
    Create playlists for purchased song collections
    Play songs while importing or converting
    Create file names with track number
    Maintain grid view for Search results

  • Sort by Artist / Date in List View

    I like to have my albums sorted by Artist and then chronologically by Release Date
    This is fine in Grid View as i can sort by Artist and within that by Date.
    But when i switch to List View it sorts by Artist and within that by Album Title.
    There doesn't appear to be an option to specify a secondary sort field in List View.
    I could live with this in iTunes since I browse in Grid Mode
    but I presume it will download to my ipod in List View.
    So am i missing a trick here - is there a way around this?

    Would you like some suggestions of where you can get help for that? Economy is in the toilet, people are out of work, losing thier homes, can't retire after working for decades, etc. but that a couple albums released in the same calendar year don't sort in order of release in iTunes...

    How can this be? They are so particular about everything and they don't see this as a problem for serious music people?
    I can remember before there was such a thing as iTunes and people actually listened to their music and enjoyed it. It didn't matter when they last heard the song, how many times they have heard it, didn't have to write down which were their favorites and which were not, we just knew which ones we liked, etc.. Not anymore. Now people are concerned more with how many times a song has been played, ranking their library in order of their favorites, being sure to know when they last played some song, the order of two albums released in 1968 (even though the "serious music people" should just know that), etc.
    It makes me wonder if people actually listen to their music anymore since they seem much too busy cataloging, sorting, rating, and making sure their playcounts get updatred correctly. I honestly think iTunes may have messed up the way people listen to and enjoy music now. It is kind of sad really.

  • CD cover not displaying in Album List view

    A couple of my CDs cover art doesn't display in Album List view (second button from left of the 4).
    However the art is definitely there. If I click any song in the CD, the art shows in the lower left, "Now Playing"
    Or if I select a song and then CMD + I the art shows in Summary and in Artwork tabs just like
    all my other CDs.
    I own the physical CD and ripped it and imported into iTunes and then scanned the art, saved
    as .jpg and then selected all the tracks, clicked CMD + I and pasted into the Artwork square in
    the Info page.
    I've done this same process TONS of times so I am at a loss why this is happening or how to
    fix it.
    Thoughts?

    Its the Allman Bros live at the Fillmore. 2 CD set. I have different art and names for each.
    At Fillmore East (CD1)
    At Fillmore East (CD2)
    and then the front cover for CD1 and a scan of the back of the CD cover for CD2, so all is different. Except the band name.
    I deleted the art for each song and first imported to all the songs of each CD at one time. Each song had the art but the display of the whole CD still didn't display as before.
    Deleted the art in each song one at a time, then this time Added the art to each song one at a time. Same problem. The art is 500 px at 72 dpi. I also tried saving the art as .png. Still didn't work. Ugh.
    Now... you're suggesting that I trash the Album Artwork folder. Since I've imported manually about 100 CDs that iTunes didn't recognize, won't I lose all this work?
