Right-Click "Show In Playlist - Music" flips to top of Music library

Hello Apple Discussions;
I would like to know if anyone has experienced the following:
On some occasions, while in Party Shuffle mode, or for that matter, in any playlist whatsoever, sometimes right-clicking on a track, selecting "Show in Playlist -> Music" seems to select the song for a microsecond, then flips to the very beginning of the playlist.
To recover, you must either search for the song, or go back to Party Shuffle and repeat the process. The second time you perform this operation it always works.
It seems to happen only randomly. I've also noticed that you can duplicate the process with Artists as well.
Select an Artist in the Browser and the behavior sometimes will occur within the browser's Artist sub-list.
This behavior has been in play since at least version 7 and continues to this day on my Macbook Pro.
Thanks everyone who can help,
aw75

Contents of Playlists - Show in Entire music library?

Hi
Quite a simple thing, but explaining it may prove complicated, but here goes...
I have quite a few thousand tunes in my entire library now, I also have many playlists. What I would like to be able to do is click on a playlist then click on my entire music library and have one of the columns show the tunes that are in the playlist I just previously clicked on.
This would enable me to be able to scan through my entire library and see immediately what tunes were in the playlist I previously selected. This would make it very easy to find any tunes I had missed, or wanted to add to that particular playlist.
I hope that makes sense. I cannot see any way of doing this at the moment, but for those of us with large music libraries it would be an absolute godsend. Perhaps Apple would consider adding this functionality.
In the meantime does anyone know of a workaround other than the obvious way of blindly going through the entire music library again and adding tracks only to be told by a message box that the tracks were already in the playlist and did I want to skip the duplicated tracks.
Cheers
Jem

Compared to anything else we could suggest, that is pretty darn efficient! In older versions of iTunes, you did not even get that warning.
If you want to see everything that is not in PlaylistA, you can make a new playlist with the rule "Playlist" "is not" "PlaylistA" and it will show everything that is not in PlaylistA, which will make it easier to scan as you wish, and then drag what you want into PlaylistA.
Hope that helps. If you want to make an official suggestion to Apple, you can use their feedback page.

Right-click add to Playlist shortcut not working in iTunes 11.1

Since upgrading to itunes 11.1 I find that the right-click> Add to Playlist option is not working. I go through the steps but the selected song is never in the playlist I selected. The only workaround I found is to Edit the Playlist and then drag and drop songs to the playlist. Selecting songs from another already existing playlist? Forgot about it!
Is this a bug? Is there a setting somewhere I am missing? This is really annoying as this is how I built my playlists for years. Two days ago I spent a half hour right-click and adding to playlist only to find the list was empty after all my work. (And I really wouldn't have to be doing this if the stupid upgrade hadn't blown away all my playlists in the first place). Sigh.

did you get this fixed? I have the same problem - thanks for saving my bacon though with the edit playlist tip
Apple, please make this easier - it used to be dead simple with tunes on the right of the playlist lists and you'd drag, now, seeing playlists and songs at the same time is a pain, you have to use to edit option or the NOT WORKING right click method. Is this fixed in a later version? I have v11.05 - I am fed up of keep upgrading at 80Mb a go and 20 minutes out of my life hence, I am not up to the most recent. If it still is a problem with the latest, I'll have to wait til the next
Thanks, Matt

When i right click on a playlist it is not giving me a burn disc option????

Can anybody help with this problem.
I right click on my playlists and am not getting a burn disc or burn playlist to disc option.
Is there another way i can try and burn a disc?
Thanks in advance.

This may be caused by the changes that Ubuntu makes.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Ubuntu 11.xx and later displays window menus in the control bar at the top of the screen with the switch to the Unity window manager.

After synching, my 4S refuses to show my iTunes. music library that I believe has been transferred successfully

After synching, my 4S refuses to show my iTunes music library that I believe has been transferred successfully as I used it 2 days ago.

I don't know what would cause a playlist to suddenly disappear on its own, unless you are syncing using wi-fi and your sync settings were somehow changed. You may want to try syncing all your music off your phone (by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing), then sync it all back on. Hopefully that will re-transfer your playlists and other music and they will stay there this time.

Getting song downloaded in a podcast to show up in music library

I subscribe to a podcast thqt downloads one free song per day. These show up in the recently added library, but not the general music library. Any tips on getting them to show up in music library? I have searched around, but have not found an answer.

Almost followed your advice of doing a conversion.
Though it grieved me greatly: I have a 2+ hour
concert that's a keeper
In another thread, someone (forget as I read
dozens of messages) mentioned that podcasts have
an invisible tag in them.
I used mp3tag to delete all tags from the file
and then I typed them in by hand. When I did an
import into my library it worked -- and there
was much rejoycing.
Note that mp3tag did not display the hidden tag;
it was only able to delete it as part of a "delete
all tags" operation.
This process could certainly be automated: dump
the tags to a text file and reload them. Rinse.
Repeat.
Anyway, hope this helps

Right-click shows cursor

I am working on an AS2 project that uses a movieClip as a
custom cursor. All
is good except when the user right-clicks and shows the
context menu, it
also unhides the mouse - so I have the clip, and the normal
cursor. I could
hide the mouse every so often, with a timer, but wanted to
make sure there
wasn't something I was missing.

How are you assigning the clip as the cursor?

Right-click Shows Multiple Copies of Programs

Why are there multiple copies of programs when right-click on a file to Open With?
There are FIVE Adobe Reader v8.1.1, FIVE EasyCrop, FIVE ImageWell, FIVE GraphicConverter, FIVE Makeabooklet choices showing and more.
How can I clean up that list? And, of course, more importantly, am I doing anything obviously incorrectly? When I install prorams, they're all going to the Applications folder.
Many thanks.

Wow...This advice even cleared up the minor problem was having with Adobe loading (Adobe was telling me that I had an incomplete install - and to re-install).
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Reset launch services is what the advice is. Read ALL the instructions before you proceed with the detailed info at...

I just opened a new account for my daughter with a different email than mine, but all of my music library is now showing in her music library as well. please help

Hi, I just created a new account for my six year old daughter. The problem is that my entire music library is now in her music library as well. Please help

Again many thanks. I have tried to tidy up the folders as per your idiot guide- which term is appropriate for me
Under iTunes Media though I do not have folders for Books,iPod Games, Mobile Applications, Movies, TV Shows so I only have Auto Add to iTunes, Music, Downloads and Podcasts - My question here is is this OK.
Next - Library files that you mention are there but do not end .itdb
Next - in the main iTunes folder followingon from Artwork and Media folders there is some other iTunes database stuff like Library Extras, Library Genius, Library and Music Library(xml) all dated 10/02/12 plus MimiPlayer .dll dated 21/02/14 and Set Up Short Cut dated22/03/14
AND there is also a Programme Files folder with a sub folder holding file folders called CD Configuration,iTunes Resources, iTunes Help Resources, iTunes Mini Player Resources and Mozilla Plugins all dated 24/03/14 ( when I downloaded the new iTunes) and then a lot of application extension stuff from 2011
To recap I unistalled the old 32 bit iTunes and installed the new 11.1.5 (64 bit) version over the weekend SO is any of the old stuff listed above required.
Outcome right now is that as previously I can only call up the Downloaded music not Podcats or CD copies.

Songs not showing in iTunes Music Library....Please help!

Hello,
I'm running into a problem with my iTunes library. I'm pretty new to the Mac - so I was hoping one of the experts on this forum might have an answer. Since we just got our iMac (we're PC converts) I'm totally willing to accept that I may have just dome something incorrect.
I have a DVD/RW that has my music backed up to it (all MP3 and a few AAC), it has about 750 songs in all. I tried to add the music from that disc using "Add To Library" function. It seemed to copy and process all 700+ songs just fine, but when when I look at my Music Library in the main iTunes window, it only shows the first 40 or so (it only has artists A-B alphabetically), and that's it.
When I look in my user/music/itunes/itunes music folder, it appears that iTunes copied all the songs to the folder properly in an itunes music/artist/album format. For some reason it just only shows the first few Artists in the main Music Library.
The weird thing is, I have a couple other discs (CD/RW's) that have a few MP3's on them (10-15 per disc - songs I added after making my large backup)....and I was able to add those to the iTunes library using the same "Add To Library" function, with no issues at all.
This is a brand spankin' new just-out-of-the-box iMac (so a fresh install of Leopard), with all the latest software updates applied before I started putting any of my stuff on.
Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sully

Use the add to library function again, but just point the application to the iTunes library on the computer rather than the DVD backup.

7.0.2 crashes when click between iPod and music library

I just upgraded to 7.0.2. iTunes recognizes my iPod and will even play the music, but if I click on the music library after having clicked on anything in my connected iPod, iTunes quits without even an error message. I just wiped my 1.6 Ghz PowerPC G5 and reinstalled 10.4, then upgraded to iTunes 7.0.2. I have a 5G iPod video. 7.0.1 works just fine with my iPod on my iBook.
Help!
Thanks.
1.8 Ghz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4)

I think it's fixed. I followed the instructions on this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=717600&tstart=0
and reinstalled 7.0. First I put iTunesX.pkg and iTunes 7.0.2 in the trash, then I ran the installer. iTunes still behaved badly until I emptied the trash. Now iTunes and my iPod play nicely together unless I click on the iPod while it's still loading, in which case iTunes crashes again.
1.8 Ghz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4)

I've had a recent issue with downloading songs from the store, and they won't show up in my iTunes library, only in my purchased playlist. Anyone know how to get recent purchases to show in the music library?

Am i the only one with this issue?

when you play the CD in your laptop on your home screen a Cd should pop up under the name of the album. Than when you open itunes it will probly say something like "let this CD download" or something like that. If it doesn't than automaticlly while the CD is importing to your itunes a page will pop up with a progess of the CD download.
Hope that helped.

Right click shows (cut, copy,paste) but does not work. Did in IE

I can not copy from Firefox and paste to Word like I did in IE. It will just paste whatever I had copied from Word before the browsing session. There is an add in on Word for "Person Name (Outlook email recipients)", but I don't know what that means if anything about this.

Also,under "edit", "cut,copy, delete" are not available but "paste" is.

Can't see playlist/music library

My shuffle shows up under devices on itunes, however, I cannot get it to open. Anytime I click on it, it just brings up the "Register your ipod" screen. I have already registered it. I just want to see what music is on there so that I can delete some and add new music I already uploaded to itunes.
HELP! I am very frustrated!!

Apparently, time heals all wounds.
The song is in the library now......big as life.
I wasn't high, I wasn't drunk. It wasn't there a couple of days ago.
And I looked hard!
We'll have to add this to the "life's unsolved mysteries" list.
