Printing Album in Grid View

Is it possible to print the Alban Grid view, end up with just a page of album covers with the album name under each album cover. Ronnie

Which particular version of iTunes are you running, john? 10.6.1.7, 10.6.0.40, or something earlier?

Playing a playlist with multiple albums in Grid View in iTunes 8

Hi All,
Here is a situation I came across, that was quite unexpected compared to the behaviour in iTunes 7.
Suppose I have a playlist with multiple artists/albums. I have this playlist in Grid View. I choose this playlist from the left side navigation tree and press the play button. This playlist is set to shuffle by songs. I expect it to play a song and jump to the next song. iTunes 8 would just keep playing the same songs in the first album listed in the Grid View and would not jump to any other.

In this screenshot above, it will keep the songs in "The Very Best Of". If I press Ctrl+L (show now playing) then it would show only the songs in this album. This quite explains why it doesn't play other songs.
To explain a bit more on what's happening:
If I go to List View the song now playing does not have the Now Playing icon:

Notice it is playing "Opa Opa" but in the List View, it doesn't show it.
This is because in Grid View if you play a song from the playlist, it has its own "virtual playlist"

Notice the now playing icon there.
Why is this the case?
I hope you guys understood what I was trying to explain.

turingtest2: I had already done exactly what you described in the *"Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist"* section of your article. But what I hadn't done was the advice you gave as the last sentence in this section...*"In addition if you change the Compilation status of tracks they may be temporarily treated as tracks from an Unknown Album, again things should resolve themselves if you close and reopen iTunes".* As soon as I closed and restarted iTunes, the Unknown Album with five tracks disappeared and the tracks were again displayed with the correct album.
Your article is a great read, even for people who understand iTunes...there is a lot of helpful advice there to have bookmarked just in case any of the other problems you address are ever encountered. Thanks for taking the time to compile it and share it iTunes users.

ITunes sorting albums in grid view

In the grid view, my library lists albums multiple times if there are various artists on the same album. I have tried to reset my view options (Sort Albums, By Title) but cannot "uncheck" the By Artist option. I am very irritated and at my wits end! Does anyone have a solution for this?

Sorting Albums in Grid View

This must be a simple fix, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I just entered George Michael's CD, Faith into a new playlist. The playlist is set to sort albums by TITLE and then ARTIST. No matter what I do, this particular album will not go into the right place. It always goes to the end of the list. I have checked everything I could think of but no luck. If I put an "a" in front of FAITH, it sorts to the beginning of the playlist. Anybody have any ideas as to why this is happening. Thanks

see if this excellent read by Steve MacGuire helps.

10.1 Grid View Album Song "Name" Column Gone?

In 10.1, Grid View, when an Album is selected and its individual tracks are shown, the "Name" column is no longer visible and there is no way to turn it back on, either in the contextual menu accessed by right-clicking in the column header or in View > View Options (Cmd-J). "Name" is not an option. The "Name" column is visible in the other view modes (Song List, Album List, Cover Flow), but not within an album in Grid View.
I've deleted the preferences and restarted iTunes, but no change.
Anyone else experiencing this or have any recommendations?

kentonkeeter,
This is the way I would approach it:
- Quit all applications
- Remove ~/Library/Caches and ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
- Log out of your user account, and then log back in and test
- Additionally, you can quit all applications and remove both com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist and com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist, then log out and in to see if that has an effect, although I normally wouldn't expect them to.
If the same issue persists:
- Quit all applications
- Remove ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins (you can drag to the Desktop so as not to lose it; you can always put it back)
- Log out and in, and test
Normally, this will take care of the issue so long as you follow the steps in order. If not, normally the next step is to isolate ~/Library/Preferences entirely by quitting all applications, re-naming the Preferences folder (like to Preferences1), and log out and in and test. Keep in mind when logging back in, your account will change appearance. You can revert these changes by once again quitting all applications, renaming the current ~/Library/Preferences (like to Preferences2), then change the original folder's name back to Preferences. Then log out and in.
Hope this helps,
Raleigh

Grid view slow to scroll

My preference is to view my albums by grid view.
However, I'm getting frustrated that when I scroll there is a short wait while it loads up the next lot of album cover art. The bit I don't understand is why it doesn't do this in the background ahead of time in the knowledge that when I'm in grid view I'm very likely to be scrolling and therefore it should load all the album artwork into memory.
Currently, i tend to force the complete scroll before I search, just so it is all loaded up and then I can smoothly scroll while I'm perusing my music.
Is there a way I can force this caching? I have boat loads of memory (3GB) most of which is free at anyone time. I also tend to leave iTunes on all the time so it would be better if iTunes could hold all this in memory.
Any suggestions gratefully received!

I'm having exactly the same problem. I can't find a hidden preference to cache the thumbnails of album covers, and consequently, in grid view, the overall effect is slow and amateurish.

Only Show Albums in Grid?

Is there a way to make iTunes only show albums that have album art in grid mode.
When on my iPhone when I turn it it only shows the ones with art why can't iTunes do this?
Jon

I have to agree with you ZS. It seems quite a disappointment not having the ability to scroll through the albums in grid view, especially when you have hundreds of albums. Deleting music from the iPad has become a bit of a pain in the butt as well. Hopefully the next update will fix this oversight. Tough on the wrists scrolling through with list view only. Not only that but much more visually appealing with grid view.
Cheers!

Print Grid View

I have 300+ movies in iTunes and would like to print a catalog of the artwork/titles exactly how Grid View displays it in iTunes.
I know I can print an album list using the print menu, but that would take way too much paper.
I can't seem to find any way to print a grid view. I've even tried to find a scrolling print screen capture utility or a third-pary movie database app that would import my itunes data (and then allow me to print it), but not having any luck.
Is there really not an easy way in iTunes to print what we see in the Grid View?

Use the Grab application in your iMac's Utilities folder to take a series of captures as you scroll manually.

How to view albums in grid in one genre?

Is it possible to find a way to view all of your albums in one genre in "grid" view, so that you can see a bunch of albums all within that genre at once? I like the beginning of "grid" view, but once you click on a genre, it changes to a type of list view. The 'rollover' effect when you mouse over one genre is good, but it does not seem to be in a specific order, and then it shows only a few albums (for example about 4 or 5 different out of 148 that exist in that one genre).
Is there a way to see all those albums in that one genre - their cover/artwork - in "grid"? Essentially, I think I'm looking for a view like "icon" view in the Finder, where I'm seeing all the different icons of my albums within one 'folder' of one genre. Can it be done, and if so, how?
Thanks.

Type in the name of the Genre in the search box. All albums containing that text, anywhere, will be displayed. While this may still display the odd track from different genres which use the same words in most cases it should narrow things down significantly.

Slow-to-load album covers in Grid View

I've encountered a problem for a while that I thought I might bring up...
Whenever I start iTunes, it defaults to Grid View, the only view I use when browsing iTunes. Now, I'm unsure if iTunes caches album art or not, but every time I boot it up and scroll down, all of my albums appear artless for half a second before slowly applying the album art. This makes scrolling down incredibly slow and clunky.
Once I fully scroll down, I can scroll smoothly all I want, but if I close iTunes, everything is clunky again. Any tips? Does iTunes not cache album art?

iTunes will need to load all of your artwork when using cover flow and grid view. There IS a cache folder in the Album Artwork folder of iTunes, but i don't know how effective that is.
However, if you are running a version earlier than 9.2, iTunes 9.2 runs cover flow and grid view A LOT faster than previous versions, since what it does is create thumbnail versions of your images for those views only, making those views operate a heck of a lot quicker.
I know 9.2 still has some bugs and some people may advise against it, but if you really want to see a boost of performance with grid view I'd recommend updating if you haven't already. Besides, for any bugs there, Apple will probably release fixes for them shortly.

Songs out of order and split into several "albums". Only in Grid view upon clicking on album.

Ok this is getting ridiculous! Until two days ago, all was well in my itunes universe. Not so anymore. All tracks on ALL albums are all jumbled, but only when I use Grid view. List view, OK, as are all the others. All the sorting info seems to check out and nothing seems amiss. When I have 10 songs shy of 7000, going album-by-album through the whole library doesn't quite seem viable as an option. Could there be a corrupted plist or preference file somewhere I could trash? I downloaded the latest version, then spent 5 hours restoring Itunes from my last backup and that was before the problem occurred. What gives? I've tried everything I've been able to find on the internet so far and nothing has worked. I've yet to attempt a reinstall as I'm afraid this bother is hiding somewhere in a file that wouldn't be touched by a reinstall. And I'm not willing to live with it as this is my preferred way of interacting with itunes. I have better things to do with my day off than scour the web for a solution that never should have happened in the first place. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time in advance.

Nevermind, somehow it's magically back in order.

Album by Year in Grid View

Ok, I know that clicking on the 'Album' column you can cycle through various sort options to get to 'Album by Year', but after quitting and restarting iTunes, it forgets that I wanted to sort by album year and reverts to sorting by track number!
I'm using 8.2.1 by the way, in grid view, grouped by Artists. I want to be able to click on an artist and see their albums sorted by year.
Anyone else having this problem?

When you click on the Album button in grid view, hold down the control key to get the other options.

Problem with the List/Album List/Cover Flow/Grid view buttons

Is anyone else having this problem?
I have each playlist/media in different views. I have my music in List view, my podcasts, TV shows, and certain playlists in Album List view, and my movies and music videos in grid view. But now, any view that I select makes it the same for each playlist/media and I have to manually change it everytime I go to one of those lists. I figure this is a glitch with 10.5.3. Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm also having that problem.
It seemed to happen after iTunes 10.5 updates.
I like my music in album list view and my apps in grid form. However, now it's just one view for all lists. Any fixes for this or is this a bug that needs to be ironed out by Apple?

How to hide albums names in Grid View

Some albums names are too long, like "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb". In small screens, like MacBook, is a mess to use Grid View because all long names comes with a cut and "…".
Can I just hide the albums names and artists names? Would be great if I could have just the covers without the characters soap.

Woohoo!
I'm a little drunk right now, it being saturday night, but giving this a cursory and immediate look-over,
it appears to me that this is exactly what I wanted!
And also, it seems kind of basic and stupid of me that I have missed it. It seems kind of foolish of me, not fully exploring the "view" menu.
Of course I explored it a bit, but I did not think that the column browser would contain what I needed / wanted.
I kind of wrongly assumed that all views were on the GUI, but now that I think about it, that makes no sense. The GUI never shows everything in any app.....
Thanks a million!
Until further notice, I think that's just what I was after, as well as the other answers contained in your previous posts.
Thanks again Steve!
I appreciate your answers. Really accurate.
