Purpose of Check Boxes on New ITunes

I just downloaded the newest iTunes. A check box appears on every song and is checked. When I uncheck it my song disappears. Anyone know what's going on???

Are you looking in a smart playlist where the rules are "Match only Checked Songs" and "Live Updating"?
If you want to check everything, go to the main music listing, press sommandkey while checking a song.

  • Very elementary....what is the check box for in itunes?

    Would someone please enlighten me on the functionality of the check boxes next to items in itunes? I check several songs I want to delete and then click Edit>Delete but only the ONE ITEM selected by the cursor is deleted. OK, so I know how to do shift-click to select a number of items then click Edit>Delete, but what in the dog-gone world is the check box for?!? when I search for help on "Check Box" no results are found. Also, if you like to show me how non intuitive I am by demonstrating how to find this solution in the Help menu, I would love to learn something from the exercise. Otherwise, I'm going to believe, beyond belief, that the itunes help is not very helpful!
    Thanks, inspite of this insanely simple problem!
    Alan

    you can multiple select songs from your list by using the CTRL or SHIFT keys, and then you can right-click on the selected items and choose delete.
    the check box is actually for auto-syncing; which means that if you have some songs checked in your library, then you connect your ipod, those checked songs will automatically update on your ipod, or transfered. (of course, thats only true if you have the auto-sync option selected, and not manual update).
    another thing for the checked box; if you change anything to the song like ID tags, or artwork, .... they will automatically be changed and updated on that song on the ipod next time you plug it in.
    i found out that this check box thing is useful if you wanna update your ipod ONLY with the new songs added recently to your library. this way, your ipod wont update all songs, it will only do the ones checked.
    you can also right click on a bunch of songs and choose check selection, or uncheck selection.
    hope i didnt forget anything, and i hope that helps.

  • Cannot Check Songs with New iTunes

    We upgraded iTunes recently (12/26/2012).  Ever since upgrading, I cannot view the 'Check' box to select and/or deselect songs.  This is a real problem as my iPod does not have sufficient memory to hold all the tunes in the library. Everything else appears to be working okay. Any insights?

    Yes for display of checkbox over all songs. Choose Songs view of music.
    Right Mouse click on the title row
    The white popup box will show all the fields you can select.
    Select Checked and the column will appear. You can then drag this to whatever position you want

  • ** Create New Transaction Check Box in BPM

    Hi Friends,
    I have ticked the check box 'Create New Transaction' for every step in BPM. In Block I have mentioned 'Block Start' & 'Block End' property as 'New Transaction'.
    I have gone through SAP Help Transactional Behaviour of BPM. Somewhere it is mentioned by check this to increase system performance, database hit time will be reduced. Somewhere 'No New Transaction' is recommened.
    I am confusing on this.
    Could you kindly help me to understand this clearly ? (Like, what is the advantage of 'Create new Transaction'?, If untick what will happen ? ...)
    Kind regards,
    Jegathees P.

    it depends on how you decide to use the property.
    in help it mentions;
    Transactional Behavior for Specific Step Types
    At runtime, the system normally creates a separate transaction for each step. The transaction then covers this step only. However, you can influence the transactional behavior of particular step types. In the step properties, you can define that the system is not to start a new transaction when the step is executed. The system then executes the step in the transaction that was started at the time of execution. Consequently, no background work item is created for the step and the database does not need to be accessed. In this way you can improve system performance.
    by defining to not use a new transaction at the right place you can improve performance.
    It also depends on step types. For example in case of a sync send this is what help says;
    No New Transaction: You can expect better system performance if the system does not create a new transaction for the send step. However, only select this setting if by repeating the send step the result is not changed (idempotency). This is the case, for example, with lookup operations.
    Note
    If you have selected this setting and an error occurs, synchronous sending can also cause problems in the pipeline and the receiver system following the rollback. Messages with an error status can also remain in the pipeline.
    New Transaction: If the result is changed when the step is repeated, choose Create New Transaction. Otherwise the following error situation can occur: The system successfully executes a synchronous send step but an error occurs in the subsequent step. The system rolls back processing and executes all steps in the transaction - including the send step - again. If the send step results in a write-to operation in the receiver system, for example, creating a purchase order, this is also repeated. This can result in semantic errors. 
    Mainly transaction processing helps to have a roll back implemented.

  • Those darn check boxes!!!

    If I am the only one who has stubbed my toe on this, please fire away!
    I use "Custom sync" for my ATV (and my iPods), not Automatic sync - if you do this, pay attention to the little check boxes in your iTunes Music library (they do not seem useful/necessary for anything else). Let me explain...
    Over the weekend I was ripping some CDs to my library of nearly 5,000 songs, and somehow the check boxes on all the songs other than those that were just ripped became unchecked (I am sure it was something I did, not blaming anyone else - I did not notice this at the time because those boxes were fairly invisible to me). Later when I went to listen to some music on the ATV I was astonished to see that only 10 songs were in the library! It took me a lot of gyrations and experimentation (including resetting my ATV to Factory Settings and re-upgrading!) to finally realize that those darn check-boxes were unchecked, meaning that all those songs had been un-synced with my ATV. Once I re-checked them, I was able to sync again, and all is well (several hours later).
    Note to self...pay attention to the check boxes!

    better yet pay attention to each tab under Apple TV devices. I uncheck all syncing except for my movies.

  • I am trying to create a new itunes account and on the terms and conditions page the Agree button is permanently grey even when i have ticked the check box any ideas

    On my Macbook Pro running Lion - trying to create a new ITunes account and the Agree button on the Terms and condition page will not come active even after checking the box any ideas

    There isn't a way - at least not that I have found.  I'm having an issue with this as well - seems like a shoddy sort of business practice.  I refuse to enter my credit card number to download a FREE app.  I'm encouraging the user community that has a problem with this to please post your opinion as well.  I know this is a use community, but I have to think that Apple will take notice when an issue gets a lot of attention.  Apple needs to hear your voice.

  • What is the check box column for in iTunes?

    I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes (11 something).  Now the checked songs on the Music/Song page do not sync with my iphone.  I have to go to a separate page to select what I want to sync with my phone and if it's not my whole library I have to recheck everything manually.  Why isn't this just what I have already checked on my Music/Song page, like in older versions?  Now I have to start from scratch and the sync page isn't even by song, it's by album.  I don't want to sync every song in each album as this takes up too much space on my iphone.  So I don't understand what the point is of the check box column now since it's purpose seems to have been made redundant.  If I uncheck the box, the song now disappears completely.  It used to still be on my list but just was unchecked.  Where does the song go now?  And how can I get it back?  If there is any sort of support documentation on these features/functions, please point me to the link as I could not find anything on the apple site. 

    Check marks can be used to mark out tracks that you rarely want to listen to but still want to keep in your library, e.g. a bonus interview track at the end of an album. Unchecked tracks are usually excluded from syncing to devices, skipped during track to track playback and ingored when shuffling. To easily check or uncheck all tracks hold the ctrl key down while clicking a checkbox.

  • The check box for syncing apps not showing in iTunes Apps page

    My new iPad is syncing Books, iTunes U, Movies and Music but not Apps. When I look in iTunes on my iMac the option box to sync apps is not there. It just says Apps all the other pages, Music, TV Show, Podcasts etc. have a check box for syncing. Any idea why Apps does not?

    In the iTunes User Guide it shows a sync check box next to Apps as you can see it's not there.
    I do see the Sync check box for Music, Movies, etc.

  • New Check box in Preferences - what does it do?

    In Preferences, under Advanced, there is a new button under "Look for remote speakers..." This button is "Allow iTunes control from Remote Speakers" - what does this do? I can find no documentation. Sounds intriguing.
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    I'll test this in just a minute, but it sounds like it means you can use the controls on a speaker being controlled via AirTunes to manipulate iTunes settings (eg. equalizer, volume, or other settings) I'll see what I can figure out for sure.
    EDIT: I just saw the check box above the one you mentioned, that said "Disable iTunes volume control from...", and now I think what the one you are talking about does is allow the speakers to skip songs, fast forward, rewind, or pause. Again, about to test.

  • HT201313 iTunes photo sync check box missing

    In iTunes under the tab to sync photos, the check box is simply gone.  I can't check anything to sync photos to my iPhone.  What do I do?

    I have a newer version of iTunes than the one shown in the example picture on the help page so the icon is actually on the left side.  However, I can click on it and I have access to everything on my iPhone (music, videos, books, etc.) besides pictures.  I have the latest version of iPhoto and only recently started using iCloud so I must have photos that aren't on it yet.  Still, I cannot see any photo on my iPhone that I didn't take with the same iPhone camera, so even if my photos are on iCloud, I can't (or don't know how to) access them on my iPhone.

  • R12: New Instance creation: what is create warranty check box?

    Hello all,
    In R12, we can create Item instance from Contract launchpad screen itself.
    When New Instance sub form opens, it has "create warranty" check box.
    What is the purpose of this checkbox?
    Regards
    Preeti

    Yes,you can create so that you can cover this instance in the same contract quickly ( i am hoping it is not automatically adding to the contract where you created from). This must be keeping in mind the customer service getting calls about new product that customer wanted to get covered.
    Warranty creation depends on whether the product (item) has BOM with warranty item as a component or not. Do you have that setup done for this item?
    Thanks

  • ITunes continuous play check boxes and iPhone sync

    Hi  Here is my problem..if I want iTunes to play each songs on my library one after the other the check boxes have to be marked BUT if I synch my iPhone with iTunes I don't want to upload on it all of my songs then I check/uncheck only the albums I want to upload.. So now, I can't play one after the other, on my MBP, the songs which are not synched on iTunes because of the check boxes? I miss something?  Thanks, ciao!

    Use playlists for syncing. One or more regular and/or smart to suit your needs.
    Checkboxes are best for marking the occasional unchecked track as something you won't want to hear unintentionally, e.g. interview tracks or holiday music out of season.

  • I can't import photos from my PC as my Itunes does not have a check box from Syncing under the photos option?

    I am trying to import my photos from the computer. I went into ITunes, connected my Iphone and went under the photo section expecting to see a check box for syncing. It's not there and all I have is a note about Icloud. Can anyone help?

    Hello evilemma72,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you do not see a checkbox to enable syncing photos, and instead see a message the iCloud Photos is on, then it indicates you have iCloud Photo Library enabled on your iPhone, and the photos already exist on your phone.  To learn more about iCloud Photo Library, take a look at the article below.
    iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • I have a new MacBook Pro with OS10.8.2 and cannot get Contacts to print a list of addresses with pictures showing.  There is a check box selecting "picture" which has been checked - but no picture.  This worked fine on OS10.7.5.  Problem??

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
