Stars disappeared from Rating column

While adding and editing some music using iTunes 10.6, I notice that the start rating system no longer functions for me.
I was using it as a way to categorize music: 3 stars for Opera, 4 stars for classical, etc.
I just discovered that in the List view, Ratings Column, no stars are visible.
If you highlight a song and do a Get Info, then go to the Info tab, I would swer that tab used to have a place to add star Ratings but it is now gone.
Highlight any song, go to Edit and mouse down to Rating, and it will correctly indicate the rating you have assigned to that song.
Likewise if you highlight any song and right click on it and mouse down to Rating, it will correctly indicate the rating you have assigned to that song.
But, NO Stars are visible in the Rating column!
I have restarted, checked all my preferences, etc.
Also, confusingly, on my wife's two-year old iMac running iTunes 10.8, the Stars work exactly as they are supposed to.
BTW, none of my computers is more than three years old, and all are running the latest version of OSX and the latest version of iTunes
Many thanks for any guidance here,
Bob

I hvae the same problem. I have posted about the problems, but I have not received any responses yet. So now I am posting in similar already started discussions. I updated from iTunes 10.2.1 to 10.7. After the update, and the restart of my MacBook Pro the stars dissapeared. The column is still there, but the entire starts in the rating is gone. The only way to rate is to right click and choose the rating and you can see the rating. I have a high contrast on my iTunes but I tried to turn it off, but the stars in the rating column is still not showing.

Shared section disappears from left column of finder

The shared section of the left hand column of finder disappears (I don't mean an individual drive, I mean the entire section). The shared items work fine under parallels using boot camp as a virtual disk. When the shared section happens to show up in finder, the drives work fine. They work fine from other windows PCs. Clearly this is a apple problem with no resolution.
I have tried the display bug (make the column wider in finder) and sometimes the shared section appears. I have spent endless hours on the phone with apple tech support. This bug cripples the functionality of the mac, since it cannot access the network drive that contains multimedia. I am very frustrated.
Any ideas?
What happened to the sales pitch, "It just works"
bob

I do regret my decision to switch to mac...there sales pitch "it just works" is BS. There are so many problems with their Unibody MBP, it is sad.
I have spent countless hours with apple tech support on this issue, and of course, they never accepted that there was a bug to begin with.
Then, the Airport Extreme update to 7.4.1 came out, I installed it, and guess what? The shared section always works not. More aggravating, using Software Update (from the apple in upper left corner) does not tell you there is an airport extreme update available; I found it by accident using the Airport Utility to try to resolve a different issue.
Hope that helps.

Stars-ratings for songs disappeared from column

The stars that I had given to songs have disappeared from column (column shows empty); however, if I right-click a song and go to ratings the correct rating is checked!
Help please!
I noticed this happened soon after the last itunes update.

Anyone?

Rating (stars) disappearing

I have a problem with rating songs on the i pod. Often the ratings (stars) disappear suddenly. It's very annoing when you rate all the songs, and maybe after a week i see that many ratings are gone.
Does anybody also know this?
I didn't find anything about this here yet.
regards..

A couple things could cause this:
1- If you do any tag editing in your iTunes library +between iPod syncs+, any play history or rating changes from the iPod will be ignored on the next sync (but only those tracks whose tag you edited).
2- If your iPod needs to be reset or rebooted you will lose any play history or rating changes since your last sync.
3- I seem to recall there being a problem if you play certain games on the iPod then you may lose play history and rating changes since your last sync, as if certain games overwrite a portion of memory reserved for such data. On my 5G iPod I had that problem with a Texas Hold 'em game.

Aperture Star/reject ratings have disappeared from pictures and thumbnails.

After several trouble-free months my star ratings and/or reject crosses have disappeared from the pictures and thumbnails, however the stars can still be seen in the appropriate metadata display. I can still add or delete stars from the metadata. Have I accidentally blanked the display?

do any adjustment badges display on the thumbs ??? chances are you accidentally turned off the display badges option ...
in the manual pages 231 and 243 may be of particular interest ... it deals with metadata overlays and badges ...

Suddenly Genres column disappeared from List view

Hi guys,
I'm still running 8.0.2, and I can't figured out what happened; Genres column is disappeared from the list view and I couldn't find anyway to show it again.
I also tried to reinstall iTunes 8.0.2, but nothing changed.
Anyone know how to solve the problem?
Thanks!

Ok, just to make sure that I understand. In the list view in iTunes 8.0.2, you see artist & album column. In iTunes, just as the list starts it indicates what is listed in a gray bar. Right click on the bar & a menu should appear. From that list choose what you want to have displayed. The genera should be one of those options.
If you are still experiencing issues at that point try the following article on Apple's support page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224
This will show you how to properly remove iTunes from your computer. After trying all of that with out any luck, call the support number & I know that an agent will be happy to help!

Network Drives Disappear from Finder Intermittently

I'm periodically having problems with my Mac recognizing an Iomega Home Media Network Drive. Everything's connected together using an Airport Extreme. Usually the drive will show up under the "Shared" category in the Finder, and I can connect and use it normally.
Every once and awhile, it disappears from that list. I can still connect manually using Go->Connect to Server, but the Finder doesn't pick it up on its own. After a few days or weeks, it'll just show up in the shared list again. No amount of restarting/repairing permissions will fix it. For example, my drive has been missing for about a week now, and after doing nothing special it decided to show back up while I was typing this post.
I've seen this topic come up periodically on the boards, but I couldn't find anything recent or with a solution. Has anyone encountered or come up with a fix for this?
Thanks,
-Jason

I have an Iomega drive that is also fidgety on the network, either in Leopard (when problem arose) or SL (when I found my solution). I actually had to view my drive under the sidebar path ComputerName> Network> AirPortEx> Iomega Drive because I kept getting errors when I tried to view in column view from the shared section despite having the drive set to ignore permissions.
Firstly, this is what I call a workaround, not a fix, as recognition of the drive doesn't work seamlessly in Finder as advertised, but required these extra steps in order for me to always see the drive in the sidebar. Secondly, it may not be absolutely necessary to do all these things, and I am assuming you have the authority on your network to do all these things, but here's what I've done to get my satisfaction:
1. Make sure you set servers to mount on the desktop in Finder prefs and that connected servers and bonjour computers are set up to show in the sidebar
2. Use connect to server if you have to and mount the drive to your desktop
3. Once the drive is on your desktop, open system prefs and go to your login items under Accounts & Authenticate by clicking the lock on the lower left and entering your password
4. Drag the network drive into your login items (and dock, sidebar, or window toolbar if desired)
5. Restart
This may not be the fix you hoped for. You do seem to have to keep the drive mounted, etc. But I do always see it in my sidebar under sharing now, and have no problems viewing anything on it from wherever in the Finder I try to access it (whether from the sidebar in the shared section or under the network area of my computer, in the dock, or from the toolbar). At the very least you never have to Connect to Server again. Hit the drive icon in the dock and it will connect if you get disconnected.
FYI: Make sure you always choose the "ignore" button when/if alerts pop up to tell you that you have been disconnected from the drive because you'll have to remount otherwise. These alerts occur to me only when waking my MBP from sleep. I wait 2-3 seconds, and click on the icon of my Iomega drive that I have in my sidebar, toolbar, or dock and it shows contents just fine, still connected after all.

Recordsets disappear from menu when adding mysql_query ("SET NAMES 'utf8'"); below the connection in php

I hope someone can help with this. I'm trying to create a
dynamic site using dreamweaver CS3, with php5 and mysql5 in the
background but I'm having difficulty with recordsets disappearing
from the server behaviour menu when tweaking the code to allow set
characters or set names for utf8.
For a while, I've been having a problem getting my
dynamically generated master list pages (eg lists of jobs) to
display international characters like an accented french e (and
other languages) and for these to display correctly when viewed in
phpmyadmin also. So, I've placed headers at the top of the page for
utf8 and created the content metatag for utf8 in the page code.
Where needed I've added ENT_QUOTES utf etc for htmlentities and
added accept-charset utf-8 in the <form> action area.
(one thing I haven't done in the form action area is add
<enctype="multipart/form-data">, but I'm not sure if this
will make any difference)
In the backend, the innoDB database is collated and built
using utf8_unicode_ci. I'm on a shared host -so can't directly
access php.ini or adjust the connection settings through
phpmyadmin. But I can write .htaccess files (currently with the
defaultcharset set to utf8 also).
At this point - all list pages display the correct characters
when retrieved from the database - indicating that the headers are
working. But - in phpmyadmin the letters are garbled, and garbled
on return on update forms (content management). I solved this by
adding the &#xxxx; equivalents in insert and update forms to
display the text correctly on the list pages - but again it's not
convenient to see all of this in phpmyadmin, as I'd like to be able
to read it there as it should be, and to dispense with the need to
add &#xxxx references on the insert and update forms.
So...a bit of searching, and I read that in order for the
international characters to display in phpmyadmin correctly, I
needed to amend my php page code so that for all instances where I
see the connection to the database, before the SELECT, INSERT and
DELETE queries, I need to add either mysql_set_charset('utf8',
$connection) or use three lines of code referencing mysql_query SET
NAMES, SET CHARACTER SET and SET COLLATION_CONNECTION for utf8.
I did that, and it removed all of my recordsets in the
sidebar menu! Not too good. I'm left with a task of rebuilding
pages now.
So I placed the mysql_set_charset line in the connection.php
file in the DW Connections folder below the connection there
instead. [I didn't precede the mysql etc line with a $ sign - I
wonder if that's the issue?]
With this change I could use the Insert forms to add the
international characters directly into the database and see through
phpmyadmin that all was hunky dory. But then the problems came with
first loads of the master list page.
So, I can get international characters into the database now
(which is a step in the right direction for me), using an insert
form on the website, but I still can't get the international
characters to display on the returned page on first loading eg on a
list of jobs. Note that the detail pages display fine when clicking
the master links, and when I return from the detail page back to
the master list - the characters are ok. They just don't seem to
display when the master page loads for the first time which is
really perplexing me.
I suspect that I need to add the mysql_set_charset line below
the $connection and before the selects, inserts etc at all
instances on the webpage, but this just removes the recordset from
the menu, so this doesn't seem to be a good option.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as I'm been stuck
on this for ages. It may be something simple like adding $ in front
of the mysql_query, but then again maybe not.
I've tried other forums - but people seem to be content with
viewing but not offering assistance. I don't believe that what I'm
doing here hasn't been done before....all I want is for my pages to
display international characters and for these to display correctly
in phpmyadmin so that when I insert, update and delete records
using webforms I don't have to resort to using &#xxx inserts.
Help please!

Usually you only need to send a SET NAMES 'utf8' right after
the
connection to the DB has been established. That way all data
that is
transferred between the DB and your script will be handled as
UTF-8.

I've never used mysql_set_charset().
Here in my applications it always works like this:
* the default charset in my InnoDB tables is ISO-8859-1, I
only use
UTF-8 in the columns that really need it (text data, but not
INT or
DATE columns)
* SET NAMES 'utf8' at the beginning
* all files (HTML and PHP) are encoded as UTF-8 without BOM
* all pages delivered as UTF-8 (my pages are
script-generated, so I use
an appropriate header() call to define the content-type and
encoding)
That's it. Oh, and I don't use phpMyAdmin ...

In the first part of your posting it sounded as if it worked
almost
correctly, before you tried to fix the broken phpMyAdmin
appearance.
Is that correct?

They did display correctly first, didn't they? So it seems
that you
broke your script just in order to fix some PMA problem.
Revert that.
Make your script work for normal input/output from/to a
website first
and don't worry about PMA for now.
What do you need PMA for BTW? It may have many other issues
as well and
should only be used if really necessary or if you're not
familiar with
the command line interface. The only thing that we are using
it is to
get a dump from a remote DB, where I don't have shell access
to call
mysqldump directly (yes, I could also write a little PHP
script for
that, it's already somewhere on my TODO). But here on my
local system I
always use the MySQL command prompt if I have to directly
work on some
tables or to import the dump from remote.
Anyway, if you need PMA, your might try their group or forum.
I'm sure
there's an FAQ as well. Maybe it's just a configuration
issue.

The bug here is PMA itself. ;-)

Selecting data in forms from site column fields

We are seeing some unusual actions when selecting data from site columns on the new item form. Here's the context.
2 lists are maintained at the Intranet level and designated as a site column.
4 lists are maintained at a subsite level and are also designated as a site column.
We created a list on the second tier subsite (third level) and added all 6 of the site columns to the list.
When opening the new item to add an entry, some of the fields have a default value listed. You only need to click your selection once to populate the field. Some fields appear with (none) as the default value. Other fields are blank and
you have to double click your selection to populate the field.
We have not edited the default forms in any way...they are straight out of the box.
I'm assuming this has something to do with the setup on some of the lists, sites, or site columns, but haven't the foggiest as to what may be causing the issues. All list settings I've thought to check are consistent with each other. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

robin, you are on to something with the 20 item question. i created three lists with 19, 20, and 21 items respectively and then added 3 columns to my test library and attached to those lists. when in internet explorer, 19 works perfect. however,
on the new item form, the fields for 20 and 21 are 3 times the length of the 19 field and do require a double click for entry. when adding a new item in firefox, all three fields were single click entry. is there someway to change this behavior?
the mystery remains though on the default value. in this test library and test columns, (none) shows up as the default value on the new item form for all fields regardless of the number of items in the list. cameron, since these are lookup columns,
the default value option disappeared on the column creation page. is there another location where i need to select a default value? or, hopefully not, do i need to copy over my data and delete/recreate the lists?
i know early on the creation of the lists were somewhat haphazard in that some users turned off required entry for the title field and skipped over it for data entry while others simply renamed the title field and entered data in it. that may be more
of a nit on my end, but wasn't sure if it might randomly have an impact.

Button Disappears from Stage

I’ve created a two buttons in a frame labeled
“child.” The instance name for one button is
“orientationBtn” and the other is
“stepBtn.” When you click on the orientationBtn you are
taken to a frame labeled “orientation” which holds a
puzzle written in AS3. When the puzzle is complete, two more
buttons appear. One button (playAgain) will reset the puzzle to
play again. The other button (noThanks) is a
gotoAndPlay(“child”) so the user can return to the
menu.
If the user presses a certain sequence of buttons –
orientationBtn, completes the puzzle, noThanks they are taken back
to the menu. If s/he then chooses to complete the puzzle again and
presses the same sequence of buttons, the following error message
appears after pressing the noThanks button - TypeError: Error
#1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object
reference. Interestingly, the null object is that my
“stepBtn” has disappeared from the stage. Any ideas why
this would happen?

Of course. I should have done that initially. Sorry! You will
see that the noThanks button appears in the function
puzzleSolved at the very bottom of the code.

While extracting file during restore, device disappear from iTunes; then error message "device cannot be found" pop up

After failing to update iphone OS, now iphone is in restore mode
Device Manager recognize USB is connected to iphone with Location: Location 0 (Apple Mobile device (recovery mode))
IPhone in "connect to itunes" screen
After connect to itunes, message "itunes has detected iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes." appear.
In Device -> iphone screen, after clicking "Restore" button, itunes status become "Extracting software..."
During extracting software process, iPhone change from "connect to itunes" screen to just "apple logo", then go back to "connect to itunes" screen; but at the same time device-iphone disappear from itunes; once itunes complete extracting software, error message comes out "The iphone "iphone" could not be restored. The device cannot be found"
Tried again few times with all USB device removed & turn off all the anti-virus software and all other non window / non-apple softwares; but same thing happened.
so now I'm stuck.... please help.

after reading loads of forum, I didn't find anyone with the exact issue as mine. But I've followed some of the restore issue solution and now I've fixed my phone. Yeah! maybe not all the steps are necessary, but here was what I've done to fix it:
1.     update itunes
2.     Ensure Apple Mobile device driver is updated and work (i.e. iphones is detected in device manager)
3.     run "msconfig", ensure all other non microsoft / non apple softwares are off
          - Services: only enable all microsoft services, apple mobile device and bonjour service
          - Startup: only enable QTTask & iTunesHelper
4.    Restart computer

Search Disappears from Menu (after expanding Mini Player)

Hi there I'm on Android 4.3 mobile using Spotify version 3.1.0.1113. The Search option disappears from the main top left menu every time I use the app. I have narrowed it down to happening right after expanding the mini-player from the bottom of the screen. I can open the app and use it normally, but once I click the new mini-player (the new version that allows swiping to change songs) to bring up the main player screen, Search will disappear from the top left menu, leaving just Browse/Activity/Radio/etc. I can bring back Search by closing the app and reopening it. I have tried other 3.1 versions, including Betas, and this always happens. Any ideas? Thanks

After you search for the artist, *Ctrl click* the arrow after the artist name to see all items by that artist in yoru library, then play and open the mini player.
Better yet, instead of search, simply turn on the browser (iTunes menu View -> Column browser) then select the Artist to see everything by that artist.

My iPhone disappears from my iTunes window -- cannot sync

I can't sync my iPhone.
With iTunes launched, I plug in my (Gen 1) iPhone, and the "Gil's iPhone" line gets added to the left column of the iTunes window as usual, but then, after a few seconds, it goes away. Meanwhile, my iPhone's screen goes to the green battery charge indicator for those same few seconds, then goes to black about the same time that my iPhone disappears from the iTunes window. The "Sync" button never appears in the iTunes window.
I have tried:
Rebooting the computer
Power cycling the iPhone
Unplugging and replugging my iPhone (Each time, my iPhone appears in the iTunes window then goes away.)
Using the other USB port
Using a different USB - to - iPhone cable
I tried plugging my iPhone into my partner's computer -- it seems to work there. "Gil's iPhone" appeared in the left column of his iTunes window and stayed there. I could view my playlists by clicking on the disclosure triangle, but, of course, it could not sync.
I have not synced my iPhone in several weeks, although I keep it in its cradle for charging.
I'd sure appreciate some suggestions to get my iTunes and my iPhone syncing again.

Well, this problem seems to have stumped the experts. I called Apple Support (so glad I got the extended AppleCare). We expect to hear back from Engineering in a few days.
The process was so cool. We downloaded two apps to run on my machine. One (ARA, probably for "Apple Remote Access") allowed Daniel of Tier 2 to view my screens and point at things (but not click.) The other (ACCD) captured logs and files about my machine while I went through the mechanical procedure to repoduce the error, which took about two minutes. The files are compressed into two dmg files, so the enclosing folder is only 5MB. Looking through the logs in those dmgs is very interesting.
