View options in iTunes 12 - window won't display

When I choose "View Options", nothing seems to occur.  The menu selection is not greyed out, it just doesn't seem to have any functionality when you select it.
Occasionally when I click elsewhere, I'll see a brief flash, as if something had popped up, but only significantly delayed and not long enough to figure out what happened.

If you are looking at the Library using the "Songs" option, then you can do as I mentioned above, and right-click on the heading bar to select/deselect options from the fly-out menu. But I think that only works for "Songs" view in the Library.

  • View Options in iTunes 8

    Two customizable view options in iTunes 7 seem to have disappeared from iTunes 8, can anyone help me find them? First of all, those annoying little arrows that take you to the iTunes store. They appear in the list after song title, artist, and album title after whatever song you have selected. There was an option to turn them off in iTunes 7 but I can't find it now. The second one is way more crucial. In the browser up top there are three categories--Genre, Artist, and Album. I don't use Genre at all, and I had it turned off in iTunes 7 so that only Artist and Album appeared, but now I can't figure out how to do that. Is there a way to get rid of the Genre box in the browser too? Thanks for your help.

    Heres a easy way to do it on mac computers. Work on mine for iTunes 8. God I hate those arrows
    I"n iTunes 7, there was a preference to disable the links to the iTunes Store -- these are the small arrows that appear when you select a song in your library. In iTunes 8, however, that preference is gone. A bit of digging in the iTunes' binary found the solution, thankfully.
    If you'd like to disable the iTunes Store link arrows, quit iTunes, open Terminal, and run this command:
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -bool FALSE
    Relaunch iTunes, and voila, no more arrows! To reverse this behavior, you can repeat the above command (quit iTunes first), but replace FALSE with TRUE. (Or, if you prefer, you can completely delete the added preference with defaults delete com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links).
    I'm sure this would have been submitted by someone at some point, but the arrows annoyed me enough to go digging for a solution -- and thanks to Kirk McElhearn for his help in finding and testing the fix!"

  • Can't accept EULA because itunes window won't show me "OK" button

    My ipod mini died so I bought an ipod nano. itunes recognizes the new ipod and wants me to accept a EULA, but the text window in which it displays the EULA is too narrow (and can't be widened) and as a result I can't even see the OK or Accept button (or whatever it is) because it's off to the right of the visible space in the window (and of course there's no horizontal scroll bar). Any suggestions?

  • Some windows won't display?

    For some reason, some of my windows in dreamweaver will not display correctly, or much at all. For instance, when you first open dreamweaver and select "new dreamweaver site" all I get is a window that displays a few text fields and then whatever is behind that window (almost like the entire window is transparent, except when I move the window, it doesn't change to match what is behind it) My system exceeds the dreamweaver minimum requirements.
    I operate on windows xp
    I am running the trial version.

    I have, Thank you. I kinda sorta fixed the problem, I discovered that when I move the window off of the screen, it appears correctly, annoying but I dont know what else to do.
    Thanks alot for replying

  • No view option in itunes 8

    as the title say i can’t change the view option for my ipode, if i’m in the music library it works but when i highlight music under my ipod it’s greyed out, it’s also greyed out in the view option on the tool bar, anybody got a fix
    i’ve tried going back to 7.7.1 but it won’t let me

    same here
    under "Library", the music view can be changed just fine
    and under "Devices", meaning the ipod, the music view can't be changed or even select any song as they are all grayed out
    I'm sure it has always been that way, even back in my first itunes 6.xx versions

  • View options in iTunes

    Under view options, I would like to sort albums by year and descending. This 'descending' option was in earlier versions if iTunes. How can we sort the albums where the new content appears on the top of the list?

    Hi,
    In song view you can sort a number of field by either ascending or descending order.
    You can select year, click on heading, this changes to descending order, click again to get ascending.
    Is this what your looking for?

  • Changes in viewing options in iTunes 8

    Hi all,
    I have had a disappointment with iTunes 8 in terms of the viewing options. I used to view and sort through my library in the list view mode where I would have 3 columns to choose from genre, artist, and album. This was a very convenient and rapid way to sort through and find music I was looking for. This option appears to be gone from iTunes 8. Is it? Why? I am not a fan of sorting through a long list. The grid viewing option does not please me so much either. I see no reason to bog down my system with all the cover art...
    So does anyone know if it is possible to restore the list view with the 3 sorting columns I had in previous iTunes versions?

    Within iTunes:
    View->Show Browser. Or just CTRL-B
    Best of Luck

  • Preferences window won't display along with other windows.

    I am trying to edit my preferences. It only displays a little hint of a window with an X to close it. The same thing for reporting a bug. Basically I have not been able to get one popup application window to display.
    I am on Vista Ultimate x64 with dual monitors running in 2650x1600 resolution.
    Basically I can't even report the problem as a bug since that feature won't display the window either. Hopefully Apple is monitoring this board.

    The same thing is happening to me in XP. I couldn't even log on to this site as a window (probably asking to save my password) is popping up but all it shows is a small title bar with an X. No preferences, can't report bugs or even customize the toolbar.

  • View options in iTunes 10

    Is there any way to apply "view options" (under the view menu) universally to all playlists in iTunes 10? As far as I can tell, it only applies to the selected playlist.
    Thanks-

    Setting the Library's view options (View -> View Options, or Command-J) creates the default template view options for any future playlist.
    To fix the view options for existing playlists, use this free script: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=assimilateviewoptions

  • 2G Nano View Options in iTunes dont get saved!!!

    I noticed an issue with the 2G Nano that the view options (columns with Artist, Song, Track Number etc.) always get reset to the default settings in iTunes every time I plug it in to charge/update music. I know with all the other iPods I've owned the iTunes view options (columns with Artist, Song, Track Number etc.) for the particular iPod are always saved and appear the same from computer to computer within iTunes. Does anyone have any idea why the view options aren't being saved on the 2G Nanos when it is viewed within iTunes?

    The other post on this may have been mine.
    What I find is that the Music folder under the plugged-in iPod source always comes up in a weird configuration upon connecting the nano. You can customize from there, and it will hold the new column choices/positions during the session. However, once you eject the iPod and connect again later, you're back to the original nonsense columns (nonsense in that they make no sense for a music library ... the Description column is present, intended for podcasts).
    Fortunately, playlists seem to work. So, I now transfer all my music in one big smart playlist and, when browsing the contents of my nano, I select the playlist rather than Music as the source folder. It's a decent workaround, but I hope the problem is fixed in the next revision.

  • IPod and view options inside iTunes 7

    Please tell me if I have gone crazy. With 2 new iPods and iTunes 7 all the user options for column choices and positions and sizes remain between sessions EXCEPT the main one under Devices - iPod - Music.
    If this is so for everyone then I think it is a bad bug as the main Music listing for the general iTunes window does hold these settings. All playlists are just fine.
    If it is just my situation here, how can it be with two computers (G5 and Intel) and two iPods (nano 2G and 80G video) all behaving the same way?

    Did you make sure you were logged in as an administrator? Especially in your security software if you have any (McAfee, Norton, etc)

  • ITunes library won't display any songs?

    Recently I got my Hard Drive replaced at the Apple store and I was left with zero data on the drive. When I got home I started up my Mac and did the whole registration and asked it to restore from my Time Machine back-up. It all went smoothly until I opened iTunes and all that showed up was just a blank space where my music should be. The alternating blue and white lines weren't even there, it was just blank. I tried dragging and dropping my iTunes folder to the iTunes icon and the songs started playing, but still nothing is being displayed. How can I fix this?

    I am having the same problem. iTunes won't display any of the songs in my library - it's just a blank screen. The songs are there because they play. I can listen to them, I just cannot see them.

  • New Safari Window won't display

    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard at my work computer (they don't allow Lion yet). I ran the updates which upgraded Safari to 5.1. However, now I can't open a new window. It shows in the window menu that they are open, but they won't display, and I can't get them to. If I hit Command-L it will highlight the url field, but won't allow me to type anything. I've tried going back to Safari 5.0, uninstalled all extensions, deleted cache, reset everything etc. I now don't have any of my work-specific bookmarks and an unusable browser. I've deleted preference files, cache files, etc. It starts like normal, but if I close the window, or open a new window, it is locked up. Is there any way to fix this?

    Anti virus software installed?

    I'm having the same problem! At first after installing leopard it wouldn't let me access the apple site! Called support they had me make up another user and access it from there and it worked. Also closed all my start up items. Now it won't let me access Itunes store even though I can access the web for everything else! Any clues??
