What is the check box column for in iTunes?

I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes (11 something). Now the checked songs on the Music/Song page do not sync with my iphone. I have to go to a separate page to select what I want to sync with my phone and if it's not my whole library I have to recheck everything manually. Why isn't this just what I have already checked on my Music/Song page, like in older versions? Now I have to start from scratch and the sync page isn't even by song, it's by album. I don't want to sync every song in each album as this takes up too much space on my iphone. So I don't understand what the point is of the check box column now since it's purpose seems to have been made redundant. If I uncheck the box, the song now disappears completely. It used to still be on my list but just was unchecked. Where does the song go now? And how can I get it back? If there is any sort of support documentation on these features/functions, please point me to the link as I could not find anything on the apple site.

Check marks can be used to mark out tracks that you rarely want to listen to but still want to keep in your library, e.g. a bonus interview track at the end of an album. Unchecked tracks are usually excluded from syncing to devices, skipped during track to track playback and ingored when shuffling. To easily check or uncheck all tracks hold the ctrl key down while clicking a checkbox.

Whats the check box good for?

Greetings!
I'm on a Monday roll. I got bit by a context menu so far so now lets try the check box.
I've always been under the impression that the check box was an include/exclude thing its either on or off.
Instance I was trying to burn a cd from a playlist and it went over. So I would un-check boxes for items in the list and try to re-burn the cd. Even after clearly it telling me I had less time and space itunes was still trying to burn the 'unchecked' items.
So .... what are the check boxes good for?? I'm sure I'm going to feel really dumb when the answer is presented.
Thanks for your time .. on a ridiculous question!

*I guess I haven't put enough thought into creating a playlist to contain every song I would like to play at a given time.*
By checking/unchecking songs, you alreay are doing it, except instead of having them in a neat, tidy playlist or two, you have the whole library to go thru.
Here's how I do it.
It's very simple to get new music and my favorites onto the iPod, once set it up.
I have a few playlist I sync.
One is a regular playlist (iPod Music) with all the music I always want on my iPod.
I also create a smart playlist.
The criteria are.
Match all rules;
Playlist is not iPod music (this keeps from selecting songs I already have)
My rating is not 1 star (keeps off stuff I rate one star)
Have not heard in last two weeks (rotates older music)
Limit selection to 2GB by Random (the size is set to the iPod total size minus iPod music playlist size).
Then I select the iPod, click the Music tab.
Tick Sync music and choose Selected playlists in the drop down.
Tick the two playlists above.
I add/delete from the iPod Music playlist to always sync this music.
Once a week or so, depending on how much I have listened to the iPod, select the smart playlist.
Select all the songs and press Delete. Since it's a smart playlist, it will automatically fill up again with new music based on the criteria.
Then I sync the iPod.
(I really gotta start a blog with this info in it since I type it a bunch...)

Very elementary....what is the check box for in itunes?

Would someone please enlighten me on the functionality of the check boxes next to items in itunes? I check several songs I want to delete and then click Edit>Delete but only the ONE ITEM selected by the cursor is deleted. OK, so I know how to do shift-click to select a number of items then click Edit>Delete, but what in the dog-gone world is the check box for?!? when I search for help on "Check Box" no results are found. Also, if you like to show me how non intuitive I am by demonstrating how to find this solution in the Help menu, I would love to learn something from the exercise. Otherwise, I'm going to believe, beyond belief, that the itunes help is not very helpful!
Thanks, inspite of this insanely simple problem!
Alan

you can multiple select songs from your list by using the CTRL or SHIFT keys, and then you can right-click on the selected items and choose delete.
the check box is actually for auto-syncing; which means that if you have some songs checked in your library, then you connect your ipod, those checked songs will automatically update on your ipod, or transfered. (of course, thats only true if you have the auto-sync option selected, and not manual update).
another thing for the checked box; if you change anything to the song like ID tags, or artwork, .... they will automatically be changed and updated on that song on the ipod next time you plug it in.
i found out that this check box thing is useful if you wanna update your ipod ONLY with the new songs added recently to your library. this way, your ipod wont update all songs, it will only do the ones checked.
you can also right click on a bunch of songs and choose check selection, or uncheck selection.
hope i didnt forget anything, and i hope that helps.

What is the Best External HD for Massive iTunes Library?

Hello,
I recently lost my entire 140 GB iTunes library (along with hours of raw and edited video and audio recordings) when my cheap Iomega 500GB decided to start making a ticking noise and crap out on me. I had my library backed up through iTunes on 9 DVDs a year ago, but i still lost everything I had accumulated over the past year and a half.
I am looking for the best external HD with the fastest transfer rate (USB/Firewire 400). My top priority is reliability and I need my data to be secure and safe, not necessarily disaster proof like ioSafe drives, although I would like it to be able to take a simple fall in case something were to happen while moving it. I just don't want to have to go through this again.
I have also heard about making my own external HD but am clueless about the process. Might this be a better option?
I am also entertaining the thought of buying an Acer One 160GB to use strictly for my iTunes Music (no video) since I would like to make my library more portable. I read an article about moding one to run Leopard, but the directions were a bit over my head. I guess I could put up with Windows (EEEK!) just for iTUnes Music purposes. Help!!!
I have a Macbook 2GHz Intel Core Duo and 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM and use an 8GB iPod Touch. (if this makes a difference)

i know this isn't exactly what you are looking for but it REALLY works for me & covers a few ( if not all..) of your requisites.
i have 2 WD 2Tb My Book external drives for my iTunes library : one is the library , the other is the back up & is usually disconnected just in case....
then i have the very same set-up for video/movies. the whole shebang connected through Logitech USB powered hubs & i NEVER have any hiccups during music/video playback. then my iMac is connected via an external USB sound card - M-Audio.. - to my stereo & via mini-DVI to HDMI to my plasma display. how well does it work ? bloody amazing, i'm done with DVD players & CD players.
although it has faster data transfer rates, i think you don't REALLY need to go FW- a lot more expensive drives... - & if 2Tb drives are a little too much , check out WD range, they do have smaller drives although i have found that the 1Tb drives have the best capacity/price/performance ratio, at least here in Portugal
maybe you could set up something static at home with a beefier ( capacity wise..) drive & then have a smaller , both capacity & size wise to go on the move ?
best wishes

I am looking for a description of the columns in the song "window" for iTunes 11. What does the check mark mean?

Why does apple make this so difficult. I just want to know what the check mark column means in the song "window" of itunes 11. How does it relate to iCloud? When I click on a song, it disappears.

under usage-i only have the camera roll, photo library and photostream-they don't show the individual albums withing my libraries-if i delete library-i would delete about 12 albums
I don't sync pics but was hoping the albums showed up there. It was a long shot.

I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

Function of the check box in column "title"?

What is the function of the check box in the "title" column of the music area?
I cannot see any difference, either or not the check box is ticked. ???

The check boxes have a variety of uses:
Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
The iPod has an option to only update checked songs

Firefox security settings will not save any of my passwords even when i click on the check box for saving passwords. please help.

When a pop-up comes up on the screen it will ask to save my password or not, well, I click on save password but it doesnt save any passwords even when I have the check box checked for remembering my passwords for certain sites it will not save any type of passwords at all. What am I doing wrong? I am using linux-mac OS user.

Simply because I don't think about using this option that takes more time to close... I always close ALL my windows with the X.
Firefox doesn't hang at exit also...
Using Firefox / Exit doesn't always save the bookmarks also... let's say there is 80% chances it will but not always... I noticed the first time I open firefox after booting the computer... Bookmarks won't be saved... But if I close firefox and re-open it, then it might save it... 50% guess...
I tried the safe mode, but since its closing firefox and re-open it... new saved bookmarks sometimes work, sometimes don't... it's pretty unstable...
Hopefully there is a solution to this problem in a near update, annoying... else I will simply reverse to firefox 3.6.16

Where are the check boxes to select/deselct tracks for import or play?

I just downloaded iTunes 10 on Windows 7, and I don't see the check boxes on the left that allow me to decide what to import or play. Am I missing something? I see them fine on my iMac.

This box can be shown or hidden.
iTunes prefs > General.
Tick *Show list checkboxes*.

Why is the check box for remember passwords grayed out? It used to work now it won't save them.

Why is the check box for remember passwords grayed out? It used to work now it won't save them.

It could be because you have Firefox set to not remember any history. Did you do that intentionally? It is set in the Options dialog:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
Perhaps it would work if you choose "Use custom settings for history" and just turn off the specific things you want to turn off.
Any luck?

Hi,
You can use the method set_selection_mode to automatically show the checkbox for each row..and use the method get_selected_rows to get the rows selected..
Check this sample report..

lwa_output-matnr = 'TEST1'.APPEND lwa_output TO lt_output.
lwa_output-matnr = 'TEST2'.APPEND lwa_output TO lt_output.

          t_table      = lt_output ).
    CATCH cx_salv_msg.                                  "#EC NO_HANDLER
