Prefer older grid view of itunes store - can i get it back?

after resisting for a couple of years, i updated my version of the itunes store to itunes9. in the process, i lost the no-nonsense grid view listing of tracks for purchase, including the ability to click-and-drag to re-size columns when not all the info is visible. predictably, the 'new' store view is laden with album art graphics, and seems designed to launch new windows favouring album purchases at every step. however, the main problem is: it loads and navigates SO slowly and clunkily for me, it's driving me nuts. any way to get back to the old grid view?

Sadly, no. I don't like the new store layout, either, for reasons you mention, and others.
Such as, not really being able to sort by release date.
Clicking on the Artist name, followed by "See All", now gives items that aren't even remotely associated with that artist.

  • Replaced view in iTunes 8 can I get it back?

    in iTunes 8 is there any way to get back the view button that lets me see album listings in a list view. The one that had the album art on the left and then it lists all the songs in that album. Apple seems to replaced this view with the "grid" view, which I really don't like. I've been trying to google and search apple forum but not sure which words to use.
    Thanks - if any one can point me in the right direction.

    It's now part of the main list view mode. If the album art isn't to the left, there's an option somewhere to make them show up. (I'd give you exacts, but my iTunes is kind of being a brat right now.)

  • I bought photoshop elements in the Itunes store, can I get the PC version for free or at a discount?

    I bought photoshop elements in the Itunes store, can I get the PC version for free or at a discount? I'm about to migrate back to PC and I'd love to not have to buy the program again. I'm not sure how it works though since I bought it through the Itunes app store, not adobe directly. Am I out of luck?

    Theoretically you can use the itunes version to qualify for adobe's upgrade discount, but that's it. All download versions are single platform. And in many countries the street price of the full version of PSE is less than adobe's upgrade price, so it's usually not worth pursuing that. However, if you wish to, I'm told you use your apple ID as your serial number when asked. I don't know anyone who's done this, so I don't know how well it really works.

  • Already asked AT&T and Apple Support. Updated iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.3, some older Visual Voicemails disappeared. Just noticed today. Not backed up in iTunes. Can I get them back?

    New to this site, sorry if I didn't enter my question correctly ... Updated iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.3, some older Visual Voicemails disappeared. Just noticed today. Not backed up in iTunes. Can I get them back?

    HALF-SOLUTION!!!! (Restoring only, basically.)
    Restore the phone via iCloud.com
    1. Go to iCloud.com , and log in.
    2. If you want a back up, make sure you back it up to itunes now!
    3. Now back to iCloud.com - select the device you want. Press "Erase iPhone" (or iPad, iPod whatever).
    You will go through a few steps. Skip the phone number and leave a message, as it isn't lost. Your phone will be restored. No need for plugging in!
    4. IMPORTANT: Just set it up as usual. Language, country blah. But then you'll get to a step where it says something like "This iPhone was erased with iCloud. Log in with the Apple ID you used to erase it". In this case, my Dad's. So please do that. Later on, the phone will ask for an Apple ID to be used for the phone. I put my own one as I didn't want my dads!!!! Lol....
    5. Plug into iTunes and back-up.
    As for updating, I'm still on 7.0.2,,, it ain't working on my phone or itunes!! :(

    You can download everything you purchased from the iTunes Store without having to pay again:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Here is the procedure for your reference, using iTunes 10.7. The procedure and screenshots for newer versions are contained in the above link.
    This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
    Open iTunes and click on iTunes Store on the left
    On the right you will see this
    Sign in with your Apple ID, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
    On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
    On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.

  • HT1918 If I change my iTunes Store, can I change it back easily enough?

    I am from Ireland but currently living in New Zealand. I am thinking of changing iTunes Store to New Zealand and I just want to know how to do it? If I do change it can it be changed back easily enough?

    Yes, until you change back to your other store. You must have a separate account, Apple ID, and billing address valid for the other country's store.

  • I upgraded to iOS 5 and lost ALL of my apps even though during the process they were backed up to my Itunes. Can I get them back?

    I upgraded to iOS 5 and lost ALL of my apps even though they were backed up to Itunes during the process.  Whenever I plug my ipad into my computer the apps that appear in Itunes are from my ipod touch.  How can I get my apps back without purchasing them again?

    On your iPad and iPod touch tap Settings > Store
    Make sure Music is switched On under Automatic Downloads.
    Now restart your iPad and your iPod touch.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    You can re download iTunes purchases for free if necessary >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT204406 I bought iTunes Match enabled it on my ipad now the 1800 songs in my library are gone and all I have is the music my daughter purchased from itunes how can I get them back. for her ipad.

    You can only upload music from your computer's iTunes, you can't do it from an iOS device - when you subscribe to iTunes Match on your computer it should have scanned your music library on it and matched or uploaded any non-iTunes purchased music to it.
    Do you have copies of those tracks anywhere e.g. on an iOS device or on your backup of your downloads/library ? If they are iTunes purchases then they should be in the cloud. If they were copied from CDs or bought from other sources then if they are only on an iOS device (i.e. you don't have them on a backup) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Moving purchased movies out of ITunes.  Can I get them back again?

    I'm running out of space on my computer's hard drive, so I want to move some of the movies I purchased from IStore onto DVDs to free up space. Will I be able to re-import them back into ITunes when I want to watch them again? Or can I redownload them from IStore without having to pay for them again?

    You most certainly can re-import your purchases from your backups. The store will not allow you to re-download without paying as store policy states that downloads are a one time deal & it's the user's responsibility to backup important files.

  • Lost iTunes.  Can I get everything back?

    Our computer did something funky on us today and we had to do a system recovery and with that went iTunes and all the downloads, ripped cds and endless amounts of time spent on iTunes. I have downloaded iTunes, so it is back on my computer, but it is empty with none of the songs we had before. Is there anyway to get all of that back? Can we somehow download from the iPod to iTunes? I am totally clueless we both have only had our iPods for about 6 months. Please help if you can. Thanks.

    CopyPod will allow you to get everything off your iPod back to your PC to a directory of your choice. From there you can import all the songs back into a fresh install of iTunes.
    http://www.copypod.net/
    You can use test the trial version for free, but to get all your music, you need to buy and register. It will be the best $20 you ever spent!
    Good luck,

  • Trying to buy from itunes store and keep getting pushed back to sign in screen

    I'm a long-time itunes user, but yesterday I went to buy a new video and update some apps, and the program keeps pushing me back to the signin screen, asking for credit card security, etc.  When I finish, I get the same login screen.  I've sent please to Apple and get nothing but standard reply of "we're working on it."  Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, were you able to fix it yourself?  if so, please advise.

    We are using wireless...guess it's 3G. Are not having internet problems, synced with the computer even. Can't seem to get anything with iTunes even though we are signed in.

  • Problem sorting by Artist in grid view using Itunes 8

    I have a lot of albums that contain various artist and i set up the info in each with the correct artist name and "various artist" as the album artist. In itunes 8 when i use grid view and use show by artist it displays by album artist putting all the albums by "various artist" in one grid. It's correct in list and cover flow view. How can i set the grid view to display by the artist of the song and not the album. (ex. Soundtrack from the motion picture Tropic Thunder: Display "U Can't Touch This" under MC Hammer instead of Various Artist)

    Actually, the grid view should be using the Album Artist tag. When the Album Artist tag was added in iTunes 7.0, the intent was to allow users to properly tag songs based on the artist and any guest artists. For instance, on Luther Vandross’ album +Give Me The Reason+ Track 6, “There’s Nothing Better Than Love” is a duet. Therefore, while the Artist tag for the rest of the tracks should be ‘Luther Vandross’, the correct tag content for Track 6 is ‘Luther Vandross duet with Greory Hines’. Without having ‘Luther Vandross’ in all the Album Artist tags for all 9 album tracks, iTunes would split the album as if there are two albums of the same name by different artists.
    The other situation are producer-driven albums like Quincy Jones’ +The Dude+ or +Back On The Block+ . These are not compilations, as you described, because the songs were produced for the albums and Quincy Jones, although not a performer on any of the tracks, is the album artist. The exception is soundtracks that are compilations of songs typically produced for a given film. Like the situation you describe, each track has a different artist, so by having ‘Quincy Jones’ in the Album Artist tag for each track, iTunes maintains the integrity of the album and keeps the tracks properly grouped.
    (Now if Apple would only acknowledge and fix the persistent bug that does not carry these grouping and sorting features over to the user’s music folder when they have enabled “Keep iTunes Music folder organized” in iTunes’ preferences.)
    The situation you are specifically referencing is that of tagging compilations—albums that consist of tracks by various artists where there is no actual album artist—but you have used the Album Artist tag effectively forcing iTunes to see them as single artist albums. I also tag compilations—e.g., Various Artists (Hip Hop), Various Artists (Jazz), Various Artists (R&B), Various Artists (Soundtrack), etc.—, so I understand what you have done. Unfortunately, the fix for forcing the grid view to recognize individual artists in compilations may require you to clear out the Album Artist tag on all of your compilation album tracks forcing iTunes to revert to the Artist tag in place of the Album Artist tag.
    What I would suggest is clearing the Album Artist tag of just one compilation and seeing what happens. If the album appears under “Unknown Artist”, or some other generic listing, in the grid view then iTunes only recognizes the Album Artist tag and I am at a loss as to what you could do. If it works as you hope, then you can go ahead an clear out the Album Artist field on the rest of your compilation albums.
    The downside of clearing the Album Artist field is that iTunes will revert to its pre-version 7 habits and break up the albums; that is, a compilation with 12 tracks by 12 different artists will appear in the various views as 12 different albums albeit with the same name and cover art. To keep the tracks properly grouped in other views, you will need to mark all of the tracks from the compilation albums as “Part of a compilation” in the info dialog.
