What happened to the sidebar view in iTunes 12.0?

"Switch to Songs view.  Everything will be much clearer"
I have no use for Songs view.  I always use Albums view (personal preference  - I think of my library as a collection of albums, not of songs), but never had any problem at all with the use of the top-left icons in iTunes 12.  Indeed, I much prefer the iTunes 12 version of the sidebar - ironically, for the reason that some seem to object to it: it doesn't clutter up a standardized listing of my library content with device-related information, and does not change if I connect an iDevice.  In general, the only interaction I need at the device level is the Eject function - all content syncing is controlled through playlists associated with each device I use (which, of course, are visible and can be modified whether a device is connected or not).  I only need to see the details of a device on the rare occasions I want to make a change to its behavior with respect to synchronization.

    what happened to the sidebar in ITunes 12 ? Can I get it back ?

    Go through each of the sources Music, Movies etc. and select Playlists. Use the elipsis ... to enable sources.  Apps, Tones, and Internet Radio don't have a Playlists button, the others do and remember your selection. Not exactly the same as the old sidebar, but not too different.

  • What happened to the power search in itunes?

    What happened to the power search in itunes?

    Why? Indeed, is a very good question. Why take the most useful tool for finding music and bury it (in the case of version 10) or eliminate it (if you upgrade to version 11).   I think ignorance is too generous an answer to this question.
    Rather, I believe this is a cynical marketing ploy to steer you into buying WHAT THEY SUGGEST, instead of WHAT YOU REALLY WANT.  Most vendors would be content to just advertise their suggestions, which you can pass by if you really know what you want. But for I-Tunes to willfully take away your ability to go directly to what you want is a sad insult to the buying public.
    Also, they probably feel that power search is too effective in revealing what I-Tunes DOESN'T have available.
    By all means, follow the advice given above - provide I-Tunes with the feedback that is sorely due.

  • What happened to the Initial View options under Document Properties??

    What happened to the Initial View options under Document Properties? I just updated my Reader and it's no longer accessible! SOS.

    Hi kga406,
    Please tell me if you are able to access 'initial view' tab in document properties using Acrobat.
    You can change initial view settings only in Acrobat and can view PDFs in Reader with the same initial view as set.

  • What happened to the "options" button in iTunes 5?

    Hello -
    I just upgraded from a 4G 20G to a 60GB. Now I want iTunes to not transfer unchecked songs.
    What happened to the options button that used to reside at the bottom of iTunes? And where do I control iTunes to not transfer unchecked songs?
    Thanks in advance.

    Nevermind, I finally found the tab. Silly Apple...

  • I just updated itunes and a LOT of my movies and music disappeared. These are movies and music I owned already and did not purchase from iTunes. How do I find them or do I need to add them all again? Also what happened to the sidebar?

    I just updated my iTunes software and have a lot of problems...
    1. The sidebar option is gone. I LIKED the sidebar and it was easier for me to navigate that way.
    2. Also no lists? I hate the icon way to view it. It makes my eyes go wonky and I have a harder time actually looking for what I want.
    3. A LOT of my music and movies have disappeared. These are music and movies I owned that I did NOT purchase from iTunes so I can not re-download them.
    How do I find the missing files? Do I have to readd them into iTunes? Is there a way I am not seeing to put thew sidebar back or make the files be viewed in list form? Can I undo this update to put it back the way it was. I hate this update...

    See my answere to your post in the Mt. Lion forum.

  • What happened to the AIFF conversion in iTunes?

    We have always converted mp3 files after getting a song from iTunes to AIFF files in order to use them in Final Cut.  Under the "Advanced" tab in iTunes there is a drop down for "Creat AIFF File".  Now, that seems to be gone and there is only a selection for "Create an AAC file".  What happened to AIFF conversion?  If I convert to AAC, when I go to import the song to Final Cut, it is greyed out and won;t let me selevt AAC songs.  What happened?  Is this a change in the new OS "Upgrade?

    Under the "Advanced" tab in iTunes there is a drop down for "Creat AIFF File".  Now, that seems to be gone and there is only a selection for "Create an AAC file".
    That suggests that your Importing preferences are currently set to AAC rather than AIFF.
    If you adjust your importing preferences, do you get "Create AIFF version" back?

  • What happened to the Previous View button?

    I was distressed to see that the Previous View button, so useful in Reader Version 9, seems to have been removed in version X. Is there any way configure version X so as to get it back? (If not, what could the designers at Adobe have been thinking?!?)

    Thanks so much!
    I was expecting to find a Tools > Customize menu choice as in version 9. Although that would have made it more obvious, on the possitive side we can view this as part of the gradual training of PC users - myself in this case - to 'right-click when you want to know something'.

  • What happened to the frequencies view in the main display?

    In the old versions of iTunes, you could toggle the top status window to show the frequency levels of a song. This is nowhere to be found lately. Any ideas? Did they get rid of it?

    To which iTunes versions do you refer?
    Some show bit-rate and other options, still.
    The iTunes version in current updated 10.9.5
    seems a little different than one in 10.5.8.
    In older ones, certain features were helpful
    informative, and overall good to have. One
    of the better versions was in Tiger 10.4.11,
    Oh well...

  • What happen to the "info tab" in iTunes V11.1.3?

    The "info tab" in the latest version of iTunes is no where to be found. Unable to sync Mail, Contact and Calender!

    Did you connect your device and click on its name in the tap right hand corner?
    Are you using iOS 10.9?

  • What happened to the sidebar with small monthly calendars. I used it constantly.

    I used the sidebar with the small calendars all the time.  It was much quicker and easier to use than switching to the year format with iCal.

    pdad,
    The mini calendars were not included with Lion iCal, but according to Mountain Lion: Hands on with Contacts and Calendar | Macworld they will return with the release of Calendar in Mountain Lion.

  • What happened to the equalizer in my iTunes? (v10.5)  I click on "view", and the option to show or hide is not there.

    Like i said, it used to be immediately visible.  I added a different audio source a while ago, that source stopped working with the last couple updates of iTunes, and suddenly i realize the Equalizer is nowhere to be found when i click on "View".  Thanks for any help you can offer.  ~Mike
