Song highlight

Just downloaded iTunes 9.0; lost the playing song highlight(Blue), did it get taken out or am I missing something. I can get it for the current song by using CTL L; but when it go to the next song it's gone again.

The C key is assigned to Metronome Click by default, not to Catch Clock, sorry Zue, I think it's your custom key. I use F1 for it, but by default it is unassigned.
to the OP: I found out that the spacebar by default is assigned to two commands: Play/Stop in *Global Commands*, and *Play/Stop Selection* in *Windows showing audio files*. Reassigning the second command should work. It is what activates the green loop button in the sample editor.
regards, Erik.

    I'm trying to make a ring to for iPhone and about 20 sec into the playing of the song it fades out and goes silent. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

    Im not sure what garage band is, but i can tell you the way apple recommends making ringtones. Highlight a song in iTunes, right click and select get info. Goto the options tab and youll see the time lengths (write down the ending time) for the start time type in where you want the ringtone to start, ringtones can only be 30 sec long so make the ending time 30 sec later. Exit it out of the info and while song highlighted goto the "advanced" tab at the top of iTunes where you will see an option that says "create aac version". after creating the aac version you will have a duplicate song in your iTunes, change the original back to the correct time length. Take the 30 sec aac version and drag it to your desktop, right click the icon and click "preferences" You will then be able to change the name of the file which will be somethign to the effect of "songnamehere.m4a" you just change the m4a to m4r. you now have a ringtone, drag the new file to iTunes where it will pop up in a new tab labled ringtones. If you cannot change the name of the file when it is on your desktop let me know and i will give you instuctions how to be able to change it. Once you get it figured out you can use any song you have on iTunes to make a ringtone.

  • Searching for song, brings you to location in library

    I just upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2, and am most distraught over what I've found. When I search for a song and click play (while still in the "search" view, that is, only the songs that satisfy the search parameters are shown), and then x out of the search. A couple versions ago, closing the search would bring me right to the song highlighted or playing. More recently, closing the search brings me back to the top of my library, regardless of where the song being played is. I used to be able to hit the space bar twice to pause then play, and I would be brought to the song. Now even that does not work. Is there any way to restore this feature??? i can't even tell you how heavily i rely on this.

    Okay... Are they still working on this new iTunes...?
    Because now I have a new problem.
    In the library, only purchased songs are showing up. And other songs I have, like say the ones I have on my ipod now that I got from my cds, aren't showing up in the library at all.
    They're on my ipod... When you go under the ipod and go under 'On this ipod', they're all there...
    But they only show up there.
    I can't listen to em' on itunes. And I can't seem to get them over into my library...
    Is there anyway to fix this, without having to manually go through and add them all over again...
    I REALLY could use the help with this...

    bostonshazzer,
    What model iPod do you have?  This feature is not supported on all models. You are positive you are holding down the Select (Center) button with the song highlighted until it disappears?  Are you sure you are in your On-the-Go playlist and not just a regular one?

  • "!" appears next to song in itunes

    a week ago everything was great the last time i updated now the past 2 days since i have been trying to update again it seems the song titles are there in the ipod but no song. and now an "!" appears next to the songs. Please help.

    Have you been rearranging folders or music lately?
    When ! appears next to songs in itunes, it usually means that the program cant find the songs in the folder they are meant to be in.
    The only way to solve this is to clear these songs from itunes ( for large groups of songs highlight one,hold shift, click last song, right click, go to clear) and re-import them into itunes.
    Hope this helps

  • Stop after each song

    I have an older iPod and I can make it play one song in a Playlist and then stop, manually starting the next. I just got an iPod Touch and the same trick (skip when shuffling) doesn't work on it. How can I make it play a song and stop?

    If you're really determined to do that, set each song in the Playlist to Skip when shuffling and then play the Playlist in song shuffle mode. Because every other song in the list is set to skip when shuffle is used, there would be no other songs, in the list, to be played.
    However, a word of caution;
    you set Skip when shuffling in your iTunes Library, so set each song (highlight the song and select File/Get Info/Info/Options>Skip when shuffling and then connect the iPod to iTunes so it can Sync (synchronise) the changes. If you cannot see the File menu, right-click each song to see the context menu.
    once set to Skip when shuffling, it will apply whenever the iPod is in shuffle mode. Those songs will not play in shuffle mode.
    if you use Manually Manage, instead of Sync, then you will need to remove each song from the iPod, make the changes in your iTunes Library and then put the song back onto the iPod.

  • 25,000 song library/playlists "not found"!!!

    So I've been building up a library on my external hard drive since the whole Ipod thing started... I just bought a new external hard drive because the power supply died on my old one, and I figured I was due for a new drive anyways...
    Ive copied my entire library on to this new hard drive, and even made sure it was in the exact same spot on the new drive (F:\MUSIC FILES). I went in to the itunes prefrences and made sure the drive and folder for the library location were correct.
    Now when I try to play songs, I get the message:
    The song "......" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?
    I dont want to have to have Itunes re-add all of these songs, because, If im not mistaken, that would mean I would loose all my playlists
    Some of my playlists have 500 songs in them, and I don't want to loose all that information.

    If you will delete enough songs to get your intial library down below 25,000 songs it will start.  After that it has either matched or uploaded your songs, highlight the uploaded and see how many that is.  The uploaded songs are the ONLY ones that count towards your 25,000.  But you have to get below 25,000 to get it started.  Please see my other post on has the 25,000 limit changed with explicit steps.  After you get it started and it has finished the initial steps then you can start adding your music back to your library until you have reached the 25,000 uploaded song maximum.  You most likely don't have near as many to upload as you think.  But you have to get the library below 25,000 to start and then add back after each time itunes match completes. 
    My library was really large and I deleted enough to get started and then started adding back and i'm no where near the 25,000 downloaded songs that is the limit. Most of my library was matched and therefore it didn't count towards the 25,000.
    1. Start by downsizing your library enough to get started.
    2. Let match do it's thing and finish with what you have in there.(This may take awhile so don't quit. Just walk away from it and let it do it's thing for however long it takes. Don't turn it on in your device yet.)
    3. After match has finished, check how many had to be uploaded and that will count against the 25,000.
    4. Start adding back into your library bit by bit and go to store, update match and let it do it's thing again.
    5. Keep repeating the process until your whole library is back.
    6. Now turn it on in your devices (ipod, iphone, ipad)
    I'm sure you won't hit the 25,000 uploaded songs.

  • ! next to song in itunes librayr

    There is music in my library but there is a ! on the righthand dide so these songs do get loaded onto my ipod. How do I get rid of the ?

  • ITunes changes my playing song, creates a remote playlist automatically, and volume ups and downs?

    Any one can help?

    Well, I'm stumped (for now!).
    If you've turned off the Shuffle feature, then the Skip when shuffling cannot be a problem, so we've successfully eliminated that as the issue. (For your information, this feature is set for each song; highlight a song and select right-click/Get Info/Options>Skip when shuffling.)
    Let's start from scratch.
    Close iTunes, and then re-start it.
    Select (but do not start) one of your Playlists. It should look like this, The Now Playing area should be blank, apart from the Apple logo.:
    I'm looking at my Playlist, named Radio Ultima. The Now Playing area is empty. Note that the first song in my Playlist is Masar.
    Click on the Play icon. The first song in your Playlist should start playing.
    You should now have a screen similar to this. Sure enough, the song Masar is now playing in my iTunes. Note that neither the Shuffle nor the Repeat icons are blue, so they're switched off. Don't touch them.
    Click on the List icon (ringed in red in my screenshot) and you should see a list similar to mine:
    The first song in that drop-down list is second in the main window. It will play next. Do not select the Clear button, it will empty the "Play Next" list, which we don't want to do.
    When Masar finishes playing, the Now Playing window changes, to look like this:
    The Next Up song from the drop-down menu is now playing. In my screenshot, you'll notice that the song Masar has disappeared. This is because this particular Playlist removes songs after they have been played. In your view, the first song should still be visible.
    If this doesn't happen, at what point do you see anything different to my screenshots?
    As I'm writing this, I have had another idea, but let's look at the results of this experiment first.

  • Adding folders to itunes from my hard drive

    hi,
    i hope this is the right place to post, sorry if it's not...i am new to itunes, i just got an ipod today, and after downloading, installing, and loading itunes, i went to file, add folder to library, and selected the folder on my hard drive where i keep all my music...but after i did this my music folder became totally disorganized, as all of the songs that appeared on compilation albums were pulled out of the folder containing all of the songs on the album and put into individual folders for each song...for example, a 12 cd collection of popular music from 1950's-1990's featuring around 250 artists, the songs used to be organized into a folder for each album and all of those folders were within one larger folder...now i have 250 folders and many of the songs were poorly tagged, so it is all mixed up, and that is only for one compilation, i have several...as well, it created new folders every time a file was mistagged, so that there is now a folder for Tom Petty, a folder for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, and a folder for Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, whereas before they were all in the Tom Petty folder...needless to say i now find it much more difficult to find a particular file on my hard drive when i am looking for it...now to the question that i am sure you can all see coming a mile away...can i reverse what happened when i loaded that folder into itunes, like if i uninstall itunes will it fix it, because then i could take some precautions before i load in folders that aren't properly tagged, and forget altogether about loading compilation albums if that is what it is going to do to my music folder.
    thanks

    I don't think you want to tell iTunes not to keep your music folder organized, because that will leave you with having to organize it yourself. Like you said it will take weeks. What you can do is use the shift key to select an entire album or collection, right click the highlighted songs, get info, choose the options tab, check the box that says part of a compilation, and make sure it says yes. iTunes groups all compilations together in the folder called compilations under the name of the album. Next, make a smart playlist that says artist "contains" Tom Petty. Highlight the entire playlist. Right click on the list of songs. Get info. Type in "Tom Petty" as the album artist for all of them. This will not change the name of the artist in your playlist, but they will all be grouped one folder called Tom Petty. Note: If you have more than one song highlighted you will need to go to options to check the compilation box. However, if you are only changing one song, the check box is under the info tab, down at the bottom, to right of genre.

  • ITunes 7 sound and playback problems

    I downloaded iTunes 7 today and when I went to play a track I recieved hidious distortion from every track in my library. I have checked my speaker volume, system volume, iTunes volume and played other media players to see if the same problem came up with them and it did not. I also had iTunes running moments before I downloaded 7 with no problems so its definately 7 related. I have made sure the the equalizer in 7 is turned off and checked each and every setting to see if anything is messing it up and have not found anything. I have reintalled the software twice now as well. I run a Audigy 2 ZS and assume my drivers are up to date if not a fairly recent version.
    I should also mention that I run Windows XP 64-bit and have all the Windows updates up to date. One thing I noticed is that the Music Store icons next to each song are only appearing when I have the song highlighted which may indicate some bugs as I know the arrows use to be next to each item in the window in the iTunes versions prior. I bring that up obviously because perhaps 7 isn't running well on XP-64 yet.
    Any ideas on where I should start to troubleshoot this? The best description for the sound is a huge distortion filter where you can kind of make out the song behind layers of static and hiss. Its definately something to do with the software or its interation with my hardware and not nessicarly any volume settings that I can find.

    Me too.... Just upgraded to iTunes V7. Now I cannot play anything from within iTunes. When playing a song, it is just garbled. You can hear the song enough to tell what it is. But it is severly distorted. More of a "repeating warbling" type sound. Like a scratched record that is playing the same section over a few times before moving on. Also, when I double click a song to play, it takes 12-15 seconds before any sound at all comes out.
    In my other players, like Windows media, songs play just fine. All other audio seems OK. Just now cannot play anything in iTunes V7.
    I have had iTunes since at least version 4 or 5, and upgraded everytime a new version came out. Each time with no issues until now.
    Using Windows XP, SP2
    2 Gig RAM
    2 Terabytes Data storage
    AMD 4800 Dual processor
    Sound Card - Creative Emu 1212
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

  • ITunes, Remote.app v2: Does v2 still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3? (Plus v3 and iTunes issues)

    Remote.app (version 2): Does it still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3?
    That is basically the main question I've come to ask (with some side commentary in parenthesis below).
    After trying out iTunes Remote App version 3, I saw that it scrambles playlists (such as Recently Purchased), which makes my playlists worthless. For example, using Remote.app, it's no longer possible to simply play the songs you bought over the last week at the iTunes Store using the Recenlhy Purchased Playlist. Since I buy a lot of music through the iTunes Store, I naturally want to listen to what I just paid for, just as I could using Remote.app version 2.
    But it's not just the Recenly Purchased playlist, it's all my playlists. Through the last decade, day in and day out, I've carefully orgnized hundreds of playlists that I've very crafted, song by song like old mix tape casettes.
    They payoff for this work has been enormous. Since starting with mp2 in 1995, then mp3 and continuing through to the thousands of dollars I've spent purchasing songs through the iTunes Store and tens of thousands on iPods, iPhones, iPads, and computers—I've been able to make music match whatever mood or music was juuust right for the moment, making for great moments and memories with friends and families. For some artists, I always want to hear their latest songs first or I want to to hear top rates songs first. Other lists are about creating a particular mood for just about any occasion. I can even shift the mood in the room with the right music list. It's really been fantastic the memories and moments I've been able to set the tone with the right song, and most of this has been not the song itself, but the flow of music I've created by orgnizing music lists. That's a lot of work I've invested. So the order of the songs matters a lot to me, especially the very first song that starts that list. That's the song I want to hear first, not somewhere in the middle.
    As of Remote.app version 3, these carefully crafted songlists are scrambled, making the App worthless. When I first noticed this I couldn't believe it, must be a bug. Nope, no bug, by design I found out. It's like when Lucy pulls the football away. It's mean spirited to take back features you've sold and promoted and people have grown to rely on in the workflow of their lives. So I downgraded back to Remote.app version 2.
    ((Actually, they're not really technically scrambled, they're actually presented in alphabertical order, which I think is really the same thing to me. Think about it: listening to an artists work alphabetically by title is really the most random and completely scrambled way to listen to their music. Or if you don't want to listen to them alphabetically, you can have them shuffled. Those are now the only two choices. Either way, the lists are jumbled, and like iTunes 11, several of the most powerful features have been taken away. In this case the exact thing that's missing is that the iTunes Remote no longer reflects the sort order of iTunes playlists.
    I don't know if this is a quiet, update-by-update shift away from our playlists and towards iTunes Radio or not, but I would think so. Why else would you make it less powerful. To quote Merlin Mann Apple tends to "fire a warning shot" feature wise before taking something away. The Finder has gotten less and less powerful in finding files and folders by their name and size through the last decade.
    I'm now noticing the same thing with iTunes, it's becoming more difficult to find the currently playing song. In iTunes 10, Go to Current Song would open the folder containing the list of the currently playing song, highlight and move that list to the top of the left column and then highlight that song. In iTunes 11, Go to Current Song will only highlight the folder that contains that song and nothing more. At that point you're on your own to hunt town the currently playing song. This feature has been broken—on purpose I suspect.))
    SO—I don't want to be forced into Remote.app version 3 and have my playlists scrambled on my iPhone and iPad. Is there anyone who knows the answer from first hand experience?
    If customer loyalty is as important to Apple as it should be taking away features in iTunes and Remote app will only drive old customers away.
    Thanks!!
    David

    I like that I would be able to maintain my iPhoto library data for Faces and Places in Aperture, but am concerned that when the iPhoto library is "upgraded" for Aperture, and I decide I don't really need that program, the upgraded library won't work with iPhoto anymore.
    The iPhoto library isn't changed in any way by Aperture. Aperture will import the Library and you can choose to copy the files to the Aperture Library or reference them within iPhoto. As long as you don't delete files from the iPhoto Library via Aperture (which you could do if you choose to Reference) there is no impact on iPhoto
    Will I still be able to use iPhoto to access and organize my library, or will it be forever converted for use with Aperture?
    They are completely different libraries.
    Recently, iPhoto bugs make Events show up multiple times in iTunes when syncing for iPhone and iPad.
    Fixed in the 9.1.3 update.
    Will I find a better user experience with Aperture, or does it also use the single file library and suffer the same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing lately?
    Like iphoto, Aperture can use the "single file library" or it can use a Referenced Library (just like iphoto can). Note that using a Referenced Library offers not a whit more in terms of features or capabilities. It's file storage plain and simple. Nothing more.
    No you won't see the "same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing..." because Aperture is an entirely different allication.
    But you my see Aperture or Lightroom struggles

  • A problem with Itunes and adding music to library

    I've been using my Ipod touch for about a month now (recently purchased). I first connected my Ipod to my laptop, because my desktop needed a format and reinstall of the OS, so I wanted to be slightly organized with it. I finally got around to formatting the desktop to WinXP pro, and have all my programs installed successfully.
    Here's the issue:
    With my laptop, I could start Itunes, and I did NOT have every song I have as my library, only a few songs that I personally selected and added to library (by clicking on "CTRL+Highligh" or File-->Add file to library). When I did that, I could hold down CTRL and highlight up to 15-20 songs at once, and have them show up in my library as added, then sync them to my Touch.
    Since coming to my desktop with my Ipod, and moving all my music from my laptop over to my desktops C: drive, I've hooked up my Ipod and (of course installed Itunes) authorized my desktop for my Touch.
    I begain selecting the music I wanted...My directory setup is as follows:
    My Music: folders inside of
    Itunes directory
    Mp3 Directory
    My Itunes settings are selected as My Music-->Itunes as the folder. I open Itunes, select add song to library, and it only allows me to highlight UP to 5 songs at once and add them. Any number between 1 and 5 songs will add to my library just fine. If i try to select over 5 songs, like 6-20 songs at once (using CTRL) it does nothing, and doesnt place any of the selected songs in my library. It will allow me to select individual songs just fine, and like I said, I can select UP TO 5 songs, highlighted with CTRL, and they show up just fine (all 5 songs will show in the library.)
    Any number of songs selected with CTRL over 5, does nothing.
    I dont understand why, when I used this very technique on my laptop, and I could select up to 30 songs at once (using ctrl+highlight) and they would ALL show up as they are supposed to. Everything is nearly the same on here, my settings are all pretty much the same as my laptop's settings were...anyone have any ideas? this has been bugging me all morning, and I've spent so much time fooling with it that I only have 56 songs out of 6,000 on my Ipod touch (I also decided to rid myself of music I didnt listen to and restored/formatted my ipod so I could start over)...I need more than 56 songs, but I dont want to do them 1 or 2 at a time, then go back and have to hit CTRL+O or File--->add file to library.
    What causes me to be limited to 5 or less songs per time to add to my library?

    Because I wasn't aware that the library could be "taken" from pc to pc. The processor on my desktop is also hyper-threaded, which simulates it having 2 processors..and moving file NAMES, not moving the files into the library is NOT a processor intensive function. It's actually just taking the file location - directory, and name, and making it show in the library..not moving the actual file itself and making a copy of it in the Itunes folder. I do NOT allow itunes to make copies of files that it keeps in the library (I uncheck allow Itunes to organize and make copies of files added to library).
    So adding to my library is as simple as making the library show the file name, and pointing to the location on disk, not actually making a copy of the file in the background and placing it into a folder inside the Itunes folder.
    Had I KNOWN I could take my library off the desktop and move it, I would've made it easier on myself, but I thought I posted that I just recently bought this Ipod touch (about a month ago).
