When adjusting names/artists,etc. = mouse disappears behind iTunes10 window

Now that I have iTunes 10, I have discovered that when I rename songs, artists, albums, genres, etc. that the mouse will disappear behind the iTunes window. This required that I move the mouse to the edge of the screen just to see it again, which can't be right, can it? Yeah, so if anyone else is having this problem hopefully it will get fixed in the next update.

Yeah, I have the same problem. Happens a lot. I usually just hit Alt and Tab twice real quick (to switch between my last used program and iTunes), and this makes the mouse cursor pop back up. Pretty dirty workaround, but it works.

  • When I select my iPod touch in iTunes the buttons are inactive when I try to sort by name, artist etc.  Also about half of the links under 'file' etc are not active.

    Further to my question, when I plug in and select my iPad 2 I don't have the same problem.  I have restored the settings on my iPod Touch and updated both iTunes and iPod Touch software and restarted my iPod touch.  Nothing has made any difference.

    To what format file are you saving from Audacity?  Although technically AIFF format can save data tags within the file itself I have not found this to always work with all applications.  Likely the information you enter into Audacity is just being saved in the file name.  When you add this file to iTunes, if iTunes cannot find tags it recognizes it will simply add the track with the file name as the track name.  You need to add the tracks to iTunes, then enter the information using File > Get Info for a track or series of tracks,
    Some of the above information may vary slightly depending upon the file format being used.
    It helps when asking questions here to provide as much information at the onset as possible.  We didn't know until this stage that all these menus were in fact part of Audacity and not iTunes.

  • All my song names, artists etc are gone and have been replaced with

    I wanted to move my itunes library to external hard drive to make space on my internal hd. Ive been having trouble with backing up and to make a long story short, my music is gone of my hard drive ( internal), im now backing it up from the ipod directly to my external hd, I did it a bit wrong but its getting there anyway. The problem is that now all the song names, artists etc are gone and each one of my 9170 songs are just capital letters, like AURH, so i have no idea what is what. Anyone know what is goin on here and how to fix this?

    Yes, the iPad is designed to erase all data, when you connect it to a new computer.  It only syncs the data that is on the computer you connect to, to the device.  If you don't have your epub and pdf documents on the computer, and set to sync via iTunes.......they will erase. 
    You need to move the data from the other computer, to the mac.  Once they are on the mac, you can connect the iPad, and sync it to the iPad.

  • Im importing cds onto my itunes but they are coming up with no track names/artists etc, itunes is saying i have no internet connnection but im on my laptop and im online, can anyone help? ive never had this issues before? they are legit cds from HMV?

    Im trying to import cds i got for xmas onto my itunes and they arecoming up with no artist/album cover or track names, when i click get track info it says i have not internet connection, but im on my windows laptop and can get on the internet, is there something i need to so in itunes tmake it rcognise the album details?

    Hey there lollypops21,
    It sounds like you are connected to the internet otherwise, but iTunes is giving you this error message when trying to get info from the Gracenote database to retrieve your album info. I had a couple of articles I wanted to recommend you try. First this one named:
    iTunes for Windows can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1490
    You can always enter in the album information manually with this article if needed:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
    Customize song and CD info
    You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
    Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
    Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking the Info button and selecting the “Part of a compilation” checkbox.
    Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
    Create your own genre category by clicking Info and typing the category in the Genre field.
    Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track Number fields.
    Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
    Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
    Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
    Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.
    iTunes retrieves CD information from the Gracenote media database. For more information, visit the Gracenote website.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Tabs always "snap" when adjusting them with the mouse

    As you can tell I am a new poster to this forum, and I am getting up to speed with Pages '09.
    However, I am a long time user of all versions of AppleWorks, from ClarisWorks to AppleWorks, and I know a bit about them, okay.
    Unfortunately, I find some things annoying with Pages '09, but please note that I also find the positives are well in advance of those, by miles or kilometers if you will.
    As my subject suggests, when one is adjusting the tabs with the mouse, the tabs always snap to the closest whole number position of the ruler setting. I believe that this feature is wrongly implemented, especially if you don't have another option to over-ride it.
    I know that I can fine tune the tabs using the Inspector and the Text tab settings for Tabs, but having to use this feature slows you down, A LOT!
    This post is really just a way for me to "let off some steam," so to speak, as I know that there really isn't much that anyone can do about it, unless that this feature is reprogrammed.
    So what about it Apple engineers, such a small feature, such a big time saver.
    Much regards

    I have to thank all the people who commented on this seemingly "small-time" item.
    It would seem a bit unfair that such a solution would require that someone other that Apple would have figured it out and then posted it.
    Seems like we are fending for ourselves here.
    Maybe because this program is such a complex beast, that some of their features slipped through the cracks in regard to updating their documents.
    Whatever.
    We have the solution by someone's ingenuity. Viva the collective minds of the rest of us.

  • Can iTunes be made to speak the song name, artist, etc.?

    I play a lot of classical music on iTunes and was wondering if there was a way to have iTunes speak the name of the work, etc., sort of like a DJ. With the new Nike kit, your iPod can be made to tell you about your workout so I imagine something could be done.
    Anyone heard of anything like this?

  • Is there a way to keep the cursor from disappearing behind the keyboard when composing an email in iOS 8?

    When composing an email the cursor disappears behind the keyboard using iOS 8.  Is there a way to have it scroll up so that I can see what I am typing?  Was not a problem with iOS 7

    u can slide the message viewer all the way over to the RIGHT, thus hiding the message from view, and then delete at will from the expanded left column.

  • My safari menu bar is missing --the menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc.  I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away.  Any ideas how to retrieve it?

    My safari menu bar is missing.  The menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc.  I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away when borrowing my computer.  Any ideas how to retrieve it?  Thanks. 

    I too was having the same problem However, I could access both the menu bar and the dock by hovering my mouse over them so it wasn't a huge problem but I prefered having it there anyway. I was not in full screen mode and I could still go into full screen mode if I wanted to.  I found the easiest solution was to just quit safai and restart it, but it might not work for you considering you couldn't access you menu bar either way.
    I found this article that allows you to hide/show the menu bar and the dock through TextEdit (didn't work for me) http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2009/07/hide-the-menubar-or-dock-in-specific-app s.html It is pretty old so it might not work for lion and a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing so I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way.
    And KSheppard, I know it's not really any of my buisness, but the way to get answers to a question isn't by insulting others and being quick-tempered. Even if you feel like you were insulted first, don't try snapping at people who aren't obligated to help you. Honestly, it just makes everything easier if everybody is cooperative and polite.

  • Calendar on iOS 7. Anyone noticed that when you enter text into the "notes section" of a day, the text disappears behind the keyboard rather than scrolling down to keep pace with text entry ? Looks like an 7 glitch to me ?

    Try force-closing the Mail app:  from the home screen, double-tap the home button, locate Mail in the list at the bottom, tap an hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, tap the home button again.

    When checked, it means that you are going to apply whatever is in the box to all of the selected items.

    Hi NicoMan,
    According to your description ,we seem to suffer a performance issue here.
    Have you tried to open the task manager to check the system performance  ? Is there any specific process occupied many system resources ?Will the issue occur only with the specific applications ?
    We can try to restart the Windows Explorer process to have a check.
    If it only occurred with the spefcific two applications ,we can try to end the other application processes manually from the task manager to have a check .
    If this is caused by the specific application ,we may need to look for help from the third party support considering they are all the third party applications .
    Best regards

  • I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano,  but when I click on the Music tab at the top, it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc.  I cannot un-check the Entire Music library option and check the Selected Artist - on

    I am trying to sync a playlist to my Nano,  but when I click on the Music tab at the top,
    it will not allow me to select the option Selected Playlist, Artists, etc.  I cannot un-check the Entire Music library
    option and check the Selected Artist … one.
    I have changed the Sync option to Manually sync, but that does not help.
    How can I change this to the second option?
    Thanks.

    There is a checkbox above those two options for how to sync.  It says Sync Music; it enables automatic syncing.  That box needs to be checked before you can select from the two options for how automatic syncing is performed.
    NOTE:  If the iPod is current set up to Manually manage music [and videos], checking that Sync Music box replaces its current content with content from your iTunes library, based on how automatic syncing is set up on that screen.
    So, if your goal is to add ONE playlist to an iPod that is managed manually, you do not want to do this because iTunes will erase the iPod's current content and replace it with just that ONE selected playlist (and whatever else you select on that Music settings screen).
    Instead, if the iPod currently uses the manual setting, you need to add playlists manually to the iPod (not use the automatic syncing setting).  Please post back with more details about your situation.
