Resizing columns in iTunes store

Ok so they new look is bland, boring, and uncreative. But, I don't have a choice. Feels like I walked into a walmart store. But, whatever.
How do you resize columns in the iTunes store? I cant read the song names because apple has no resizing feature. And it's very annoying.
Thanks,
Nick

I completely agree - this is annoying! I found another topic in this forum about this where it was suggested that Apple be contacted via their feedback form at http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html. I've just done this and suggest that anyone else who finds this annoying do the same! Hopefully, if more people report it, it will be fixed in the next update.
Another topic I came across suggested using the Browse feature (by going to the Home page, then clicking "Browse" in the top right quick links). This will return results in a list similar to the previous version, which had resizable columns. The only trouble is, you can't search this way, only browse, so it still doesn't assist in making locating tracks more efficient :S

  • How to resize columns in iTunes store?

    Hey guys, I've had this problem since I upgraded to itunes 9 and up but I can't resize the columns in the itunes store which I used to be able to do before they changed the interface in version 9? I currently have itunes 9.0.2.25 installed. Is this a feature they removed and if so, then why would they do this? For example, when I search for a song and it's a long title it will cut off and I can't read the entire title, the only way to see the entire title is to preview the song and watch it scroll in the top status bar. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys, David

    It's not possible. Nobody can resize the columns in itunes 9. There have been other posts here about how annoying that is.

  • Resizing columns in iTunes 10

    I've noticed some strange behavior in iTunes 10 regarding the resizing of displayed columns in List view. It appears that I can resize any displayed column in my main library, with exception to the immovable 1st column (the "currently playing or paused" column) or the checkmark column. This is fine.
    The problem comes when I try to resize columns on an attached iPod. I can resize some columns, but not all ... that makes no sense! For instance, with my current settings, the optional displayed list view columns for my iPod are (currently in this order):Artist, Track #, Time, Album, Date Added, Size, Kind, Bit Rate, and Rating. In addition to these, there are the 3 default columns: the song order/play status column, and the Name column. I can't resize any of the default columns, nor can I resize these columns: Date Added, Kind, Rating, or Size.
    Also, you should be able to resize the columns in the Column Browser, but you can't do that in either the main library OR an iPod library.

    While viewing your iPod Library, try opening View Options (on my Mac, it's Cmd-J). Uncheck the columns you can't resize, and click OK. Those columns should disappear. Open View Options again, and recheck them. See if you are now able to resize them. This procedure worked for me on iTunes 9.2.1.

  • Resizing Columns in iTunes 11

    I hope that I am not resubmitting a question that is known by the masses...
    I have changed my ipod Touch for the songs to now automatically sync (as opposed to manually mangaged).  I now cannot alter the columns in itunes when playing my ipod (on my work computer).  I used to be able to resize the columns and then resort (by artist, by date...), and now I can do neither.
    By having the music added by syncing with itunes as opposed to manually manage the library do you lose the ability to reshape and alter the columns?  That seems odd to me.

  • I can't find ping & purchased column in itunes store

    i can't find ping & purchased column in itunes store

    If you update to iOS 4.3.3 you should then see it in the App Store app. If you have iTunes 10.3 on your computer you can also do it there. Otherwise I think that you'll have to go through your purchase history on your account in iTunes on your computer.

  • How do I resize columns in iTunes 11 store?

    When in the iTunes 11 store, and after searching for a particular artist, I see the results.  However, many of the song and albums names are cut off since the columns are too narrow.  But I can't find any way to adjust them - there's no column headers to grab onto and I don't see anything relevant in the view options.
    Does anyone know how to adjust the width of these columns?

    I don't believe that there is any way now to send an anonymous gift. The store does send the email, but to the best of my knowledge it always attaches the sender's information. If you want to give an album anonymously, you can either see if any of the other download stores allow this, or of course buy the physical CD and send it without any return address.
    Regards.

  • Can't resize columns in new iTunes store

    Well .. the new iTunes9 store is just horrendous, and a step back from the previous version. i'd beg for the previous version but it's never gonna happen.
    one of the most simple and yet horrendously awful things is the apparant inabilityto resize columns when browsing an arists. if the name of a track is wider than the column ... how do you see it? there is now way to scroll across and see the complete name of the track/remix.
    anyone know a work around for this. anyone from Apple care to comment on such an obvious design flaw?

    I'll echo this. Look up Classical Music, anything there is nigh impossible to find. Telling me that a song is "symphony no. 9 movem...." is useless. I don't care, I know that. What I want to see is the movement. But I can't. Or how about dance remixes? I know the name of the song, I'd like to be able to see the actual remix name.
    On top of that, you can't even choose what you want to view by. If I am searching for all the U2 songs, I don't need to see that the artist is U2. I'd much rather use that space for more productive things.
    I simply cannot understand who at Apple thought this was a "better" user interface. Sacrificing user operability for a "spiffy" new makeover is not what I would expect from Apple.

  • Dont resize iTunes Store search view

    So I search for a song on iTunes Store and the result shows in the bottom of the application. I then resize some of the columns so I view all text. Now thats fine. Works perfectly.
    The problem is when I do another search. Then the view that I just resized to be able to view long song and album names are reset to the original tiny size and Ill have to resize them again.
    I dont like this. It ***. All the other listview remember their column width. Can you please also add this feature to the listview in the iTunes Store search result.

    We're just your fellow users here. I'd suggest you send your comment directly to Apple via the iTunes feedback page.
    Regards.

  • Is there a way to view a Genre Column in the iTunes Store?

         I have some file (That I did not download from iTunes). And their names were all messed up. But I was able to fix them by using the iTunes store and finding names, artist's, and etc. But when it came to Genres I could not find the Genre Column in the iTunes STORE. If you know a way to add a genre column in the iTunes store please tell me! Thank you!

    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available.

  • Get rid of "itunes store" heading in left column

  • How do I sort songs in the iTunes store?  You used to be able to click on the column header to sort the column (ie Popularity)?

    How do I sort songs in the iTunes store?  You used to be able to click on the column header to sort the column (ie Popularity)?

    It seems this is a "backwards" upgrade from Apple in their iTunes 11 release....like you, I used to use that function in the iTunes store to sort through and decide which song version to purchase.   (For a large returned list of songs...see all...then sort by any of the headers, including Popularity...this functionality is now gone.)  
    The iPad always suffered from this...was never able to sort on those same column headers with an iPad.   It seems, this new iTunes release killed that functionality on the Mac as well.
    Just one of the few things that went wrong with number 11!
    Better luck next time,

  • ITunes store forces columned browsing on music genre

    I am trying to get to the home page for the Christian & Gospel section of the iTunes store but this stupid columned browsing keeps showing up. Removing the columned browsing feature sends it back to the main music home. I have reinstalled iTunes, deleted plists, EVERYTHING but it's like the program is hellbent on keeping it in columned browsing. I've tried in seperate users too and it changes nothing. All other music genres have their main pages displaying properly.

    I just replied similarly in another post of mine.  I hope this helps.  Yup, iTunes removed the genre. Here is the response from iTunes support:

  • HT1349 How do you fix error -1202 in the iTunes store?

    Whenever I try to buy iTunes Match error number -1202 pops up saying my request couldn't be completed because of an error in the store. That code isn't listed in the support error code list so anyone have ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    Seriously, do a search for a song in itunes.
    I did that experiment in the iTunes Store, Amazon MP3, and Google Play Music.  Interesting result:  none of them allow the resizing of columns.
    However, if you are unhappy with the iTunes Store, there are definitely other options out there.  You an buy an MP3 from any online music download store and add it to your iTunes library.

  • Broken: Copy & Resizable Columns

    In iTunes store I used to be able to copy track information by selecting a track and typing cmd-C. This was useful for a number of reasons, the two most used by me were correcting ripped CD information quickly -- particularly with classical tracks where the titles and track names have no real quality control -- to make it match the iTunes database (that makes getting cover information much easier); and sending information to people (including Apple support) in emails.
    Now I can't do that. This would be a minor inconvenience were it not for the disappearance of resizable columns. Before, a work around would be to open the CD information in a separate window, rearrange my windows so that I can see everything, and simply eyeball everything (I can touch type so while that's a hassle, it wasn't impossible).
    Unfortunately, that doesn't work now either. The columns are fixed in width meaning many classical tracks have long titles that start with the same text (like Symphony No. 3 "Poem of Ecstasy" or "Concerto for Two Violins and Orchestra") that runs over into the non-visible part of the column. The only way to read the entirety of what's there is to hover the mouse over the visible text. This is impossible to do while typing in another window because it only works while the store window is active.
    Thanks, Apple. You've opted for style over substance again, only this time it doesn't work.

    Byron,
    I think I have a better answer for you.
    When you are on the Home screen of the iTunes Store click the Browse in the QuickLinks on the upper right of the screen.
    You will then be switched into the conventional iTunes bowser where I think you'll find you can copy and paste track information as you have in the past.
    Give it a try.

    I cannot use Itunes store to redeem my gift card because it says that my apple id has not been used in the Itunes store yet.  When I click review i then clicked continue and everytime that I agree to the terms and policies on the second page it just sends me back to the top of the page and doesnt allow me to go any farther in the itunes store process any idea of how to get this to work?

    Have you done as the message tells you and contacted iTunes Support ? If not (these are user-to-user forums) :

    - click on your country's flag
