Star rating for an album all shows up as 5-stars -- only an outline

i just noticed that a random album i have is rating all 5 stars (i didn't do this). however, the stars are only outlined, and i can't remove the stars. i can re-rate the songs, but i just want them to have no rating at all.
has anyone seen this "star outline"?

Yes, the hollow stars can appear one of two ways. If you rate any songs on an album (using solid stars), iTunes will "suggest" an +Album Rating+ with hollow stars. If you rate an album (using solid stars), iTunes will suggest a Rating of that value with hollow stars for each unrated song from that album.
If you want to give your songs a Rating, then disregard the hollow stars for the album. The hollow stars do not really represent a rating.

  • IPhoto for iOS does not show all Facebook albums

    iPhoto for is not showing all of my Facebook photo albums when I attempt to share photos. I have not been able to recognize any differences between the albums shown or not shown except maybe album age - older albums remain invisible. Quite annoying.
    I have the latest iPad with latest SW and latest iPhoto.

    When I use iPhoto for iOS to share to Facebook I first get a chance to share one photo or select several.
    Then I see a choice to upload to an album, usually Wall Photos, but there in only that one album visible.
    Tap on that album and more choices come up. These include, eventually, all of my albums. I can then choose the album to which I want to upload the photo(s).

  • I have an iMac and iphoto.  Currently I am having a problem with an album in iphoto.  When I double click on the album all I get in the main body of the screen is a triangle with an exclamation mark and my 2 photos show at the very bottom of the window.

    I have an imac and am using iphoto.  Currently I am having a problem with one particular album which shows in the main part of the window a triangle with an exclamation point.  The two photos are at the bottom of the main window in the same area where the "info" "edit" "create" area is.  I can see the two photos but I can not get them back into the main part of the window.  I can't drag them anywhere either.  I can't double click or right click on either of the two photos either. All I can do is click on either one and they get a little bigger.  Before I saw the exclamation point in the main body of the window all I get is two squares with nothing in them and the entire border is made up of dashes.  Can someone help me?

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
                                            Screenshot is for iPhoto 9
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album togeth

    How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod?  If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

    I used to have this problem.
    First, you need to go back on iTunes
    you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
    Click the album so all the songs drop down
    Right click the songs that have this problem
    Click ' Get info '
    Click the tab that says " info '
    The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
    as such,
    ARTIST
    JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
    ALBUM ARTIST
    JAY-Z
    These should be separate for each artist
    If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

  • Music app shows unknown artist for compilation albums

    I just submitted a bug report to Apple, though I can't believe I am the only person with this issue.
    Since iOS7 (I am currently on iOS7.0.4) I have noticed that the music app (along with many many other issues) will no longer display the artist for compilation albums that I have.  In iTunes the artist on the compilation is clearly defined but in iOS7 the Music app simply states "unknown artist".
    Surely I am not the only one with this issue?

    I am very annoyed by this bug too, I have  a lot of compilation albums and soundtracks with lots of differents artists, and my library is super organized in iTunes, with the “Album artist” field empty and the “Part of a compilation” checkbox enabled, and it shows the compilations as a “Various Artists” album.
    But when I tried to download through iTunes Match in my iPhone 5C some few songs from those albums today, I found out that the music app has this bug that makes almost all of the compilation albums appear within this “UNKNOWN ARTIST” category under the artists tab.
    It is very annoying and I hope Apple fixes this, cuz it is driving me crazy.

  • Aperture album contents not all showing on Apple TV photos; random photos missing

    Only noticed this problem by chance when searching for a particular set of photos while viewing Aperture photos via an Apple TV 2. Some Albums are fine others have a random number of photos missing (compared with viewing in Aperture itself) with as little as one photo being shown when there are hundreds in the Album. Any suggestions/ideas as to whether the problem may a set up issue or systematic?

    You may not have previews built for the photos that are not showing up. Select all the pictures in the Album that is not displaying all photos, right click while holding the mouse over one of the selected photos, and then select "update previews". After Aperture has built previews for all the photos in that album, you may have to quit Aperture before they will all show up on the AppleTV (when you quit Aperture you will see a progress bar saying "updating sharing preferences", or something to that effect).
    If there is a way to get Aperture to update sharing preferences without quiting, will someone reply to the method to achive this? So far, quiting is the only way I have discovered to force Aperture to update the sharing prefs.
    Let us know if this works. Usually photos not showing up outside of Aperture is caused from not having previews built for those photos.

  • Star Rating for Videos

    One of my favourite uses for my new ipod touch is video podcasts. This little gadget is amazing, and I can't really fault it with much, but this is annoying:
    I cannot rate my videos (video podcasts for that matter) with stars. This is possible in iTunes, and I use this frequently so that I can keep episodes I really enjoyed and clean my HD of the rest.
    A annoying workaround for this is to go back to the Music app, find that same (video) podcast and rate it there.... cumbersome... (perhaps related to this discussion: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6352050&#6352050)
    Any suggestions?

  • If I have a pic in more than one album, does iPhoto make more than one copy of that pic?  When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.

    If I have a pic in more than one album, does iPhoto make more than one copy of that pic?  When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.

    No it doesn't. Albums simply reference the photos in the Library. A single shot can be in 100 albus and use no extra disk space at all.
    If you have the same shot in two Events then yes, the file is duplicated.
    When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.
    The Finder doesn't really understand the iPhoto Library. It's quite possible for the iPhoto Library to contain many files with the same name. The Library also contains different versions of the same shot - thumbnail, originals and edited version. This is normal.

  • BB off for a few days -- When turn on reconciled emails all show one date/time.

    If I am away for a few days -- with the Blackberry off -- Then when I return and turn on the unit, it will reconcile email through my work blackberry server.  The emails that get downloaded at that time all show on my blackberry email listing as received at one time -- when the reconciliation occurred -- not the dates/times that the actual emails were written.  My work email (on my computer at work) will show the dates/times that the actual emails were written -- even though I also had been logged out from my work email for the time I was away.  This is a real pain for viewing / looking through and finding emails later on the device.  So now, I have to leave the unit on and plugged into the wall when away -- so my emails will show the right date/time on the device.  Is there a way to set things up so I don't have to resort to this? -- seems to me that there must be -- otherwise a lot more people would raise this concern.
    Thanks,

    The last time I checked the incoming emails will always go by the date/time on the device itself. There is not a way to change this behavior.
    Do you turn it off to conserve battery power? If so you can always place the device in Standby mode. The battery drains much slower in this mode and should last anywhere from 10-15 days.

  • How do I add a widget to give a review or star rating for a book at the end of a book in iBooks Author?

    How do I add a widget to give a review or star rating for a book at the end of a book in iBooks Author? You know, how you buy books on iBooks and when you're finished reading it, there's a place where you can give a rating or review right there on the very last page?

    Just supply a link that says 'Review This Book' - use http://itunes.apple.com/linkmaker/ to generate one.

    Before I updated my iPod I had all of the songs to an album that I bought on iTunes. After I updated my iPod I only have 5 of those songs from the album. I would like to know how I can get the rest of the songs cause I already paid for the album and I went on my computer and it said that I have to pay for them even though I already paid for the whole album. So what do I do?

    Sync with the same computer iTunes that you normally sync with.

    Sometimes when I copy a CD into iTunes all of the songs do not show y up in one album, but mutiple albums, all with the same name. Is there an easy way to get all of the songs into one album.

    Generally adding a common album artist will fix things.

  • I sent in my iPhone 6 for repair. I used restore on the loaner phone I was given, and the contacts, texts, reminders, and Safari pages all showed up. My phone is back, and when I used the restore function again, those items are missing.

    I sent in my iPhone 6 for repair. I used restore on the loaner phone I was given, and the contacts, texts, reminders, and Safari pages all showed up. My phone is back, and when I used the restore function again, those items are missing. I do not use iCloud because I have no wifi at home, limited data available for regularly backing up, and I have a 64GB phone and don't wish to pay to upgrade from the 5GB iCloud storage. Am I doing something wrong? It worked so seamlessly on my loaner phone that I am completely stumped as to why it will not restore those items to my original phone again.

    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service.  Your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have chosen to sync.
    If you have failed to do this, then they are likely gone.
