Why can't we go from 'genres' to 'artist' and then 'albums' in ipod for ipad?

The Ipod App on Ipad2 lets you go from 'artists' to their albums and songs. You can see a list of all songs sorted by albums for each artist.
When you sort by 'genres' you only get thumbnails of genres (instead of a list) which rotate to show songs directly.
I'd like to get the same interface then iTunes on Mac with the navigation columns to go from genres to artists to albums and then songs.
Is that possible?
Thanks

Same here. It's a very clumsy UI. On Mac, iPod, iPhone, it's always been genre-artist-album, as it should be. For some bizarre reason apple decided to do away with that logical UI convention on the iPad only. But who wants a list of hundreds of "songs" after clicking a genre. What makes it worse is that they aren't even grouped by album or collection, but in alphabetical order. What? Who chooses/seeks music by what letter a song starts with? I don't even know the names of most of the "songs" I have because I listen mostly to jazz and classical. I sure hope they get a different UI person or team on the Music app for iPad.

    Wow, that's very disappointing.
    I see that you can transfer between two Macs but not, as you say, between older Macs and iOS.
    For others, the following is from Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices
    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model. To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later.
    MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
    MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
    iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
    *The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.

  • TS1368 Why can I only download from the apps store and not itunes

    Why can I only download from apps store and not iTunes.

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

  • Why can't I print from CS5? Mac and Snow Leopard

    I can't print from CS5. I have a Canon Pro 9000 MKII, and all drivers are up to date. Whenever I need to print I have to close the image and reopen it in CS4. I have an iMac running Snow Leopard and can print from all other programs.
    When I do try to print from CS5, I get a dialog box (see attached). If I click the "Cancel" button (the only option) the print command in the menu is grayed out until I restart CS5. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    One other thing to try is changing the name of the printer queue, which may convince Photoshop and the system that it's a different printer, so old print settings will not be used.
    Open your System Preferences, select "Print & Fax", and then select your printer.
    Click the "Open Print Queue..." button. When that opens, select the "Printer Setup" icon (it should be rightmost in the top row), and then change the name of the printer. and OK.

  • I can transfer pictures from my SD card when I don't have transfert it to my pc first. But why can't I transfer from pc via SD? I'm using Apple camera connection kit.

    I can transfer pictures from my SD card when I don't have transferred it to my pc first. But why can't I transfer from pc via SD and then into my iPad2? I'm using Apple camera connection kit.

    If you are adding the photos yourself, then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus their file extension i.e. in the same format as if your digital camera had written them.

  • Can I import HTMLs from inside the project and use as portlet page ?

    As you know, I am using Java Studio Creator 2 Update 1 for my current portal project. I have created JSR-168 JSF Portlet Project for my portlet development.
    As I have some html pages ready for my development,
    Can I import HTMLs from inside the project and use as portlet page for my project?
    I did the followings steps:
    1: In side the project - File -> Add Existing Item -> Web Page ( imported test.html page from my local folder)
    2: Let it convert some of the tags for me ( so now it becomes - �test.jsp� )
    3: Set it to initial view.
    4. A default portlet page � newPortletPage.jsp is still there with no initial view.
    Now after doing this, No Visual Designer and Properties window available to for that �test.jsp� page. Though it allowed me to �build� the project successfully.
    When I build and run the portlet application, got the error message �Error occurred in portlet!� on Pluto Portal. Please advice.

    You do not open fcpproject files. You don't double click or anything else. The files have to be in the correct folder structure in the Final Cut Projects folder and the application opens them automatically. Can you post screen shots of the Final Cut Projects folder and its location.

    Hey GingCarv,
    Great question. You'll want to download the movies from your purchase history. The following article explains how to do so:

  • Why can't I print from my ipad?

    I've had my iPad for almost a year now and I like it a lot. It looks very good, it performs very well even though I'm far from reaching my goal of only taking my ipad to school, nothing else.
    One important reason why this won't be the case for quite a while still is that I can't print from the iPad.
    Let me explain. I make quite a number of worksheets. Being a teacher this is one of the things you do so that the students have something to write on and do exercises. Over the years there have been many of these and my initial thought was to put them all on the iPad and print them when needed. But imagine my surprise when I found out that printing from an iPad seems to be near impossible.
    Other colleagues of mine got themselves cheap EEPCs and they work fine. They can access the local printer easily printing whatever they wish. But I can't do that! Unless my school buys a new Air-thingy printer from HP I just won't print there! And that just *****.
    I've bought a sleek and expensive machine that is so sophisticated - that I can't use it the way I want to. And that isn't even ******** about the file system that seems to be equally messed up.
    My question is, why can't I print from the iPad? Printing had been announced many times before the launch of iOS 4 and then, all of a sudden, nothing more. How can this be? Why do I have to buy additional software - which is not really cheap and far from certain to work at all - just to be able to print a few pages?
    Please help me understand this, as I see it, major flaw of the iPad and iOS 5.

    Thanks guys,
    I seem to have understood by now.
    To sum it up:
    - I can print with the iPad directly if the printer is Airprint compatible.
    - I can print via a number of more or less working apps.
    I've downloaded some HP software for my iPad and even seem to be able to access it from some other apps, that is except Apples Pages app. Sigh! So whenever I have to make changes in my documents, I still can't print.
    GoodReader on the other hand lets me send my documents to the HP app, but the app/HP won't let me print microsoft docs unless I register and send my documents over to HP where the printing prep is being made, then they send it back to me/my printer. Anyway GoodReader blows my layout apart, so I must change it on the iPad, but when I do …
    It's a big catch.
    You must realize that printing really isn't that comfortable and that as a spoiled old Mac user I might be excused for wishing something more workable.
    The truth seems to be that I've got to carry all those docs on a USB-stick, move them over to the Windows-machine at our school and print from there - which is what I do on a daily basis already.
    All those workarounds that may or may not work (check out user comments on those printing apps!) are so annoying that my overall question remains pretty much the same.
    But I could also rephrase the question: Why can't I print from the so-called best tablet office app even if I am equipped with all the apps I apparently need?
    Please understand that this is not Apple-bashing in any way. This is a real problem for me in my everyday life. I won't be persuading my school to buy AirPrint printers just because of my little problem and I honestly don't want to spend more money on printing apps that seem never to even have gone through beta testing.
    Still, thanks for you efforts. I guess I'll just have to wait for Microsoft Office for iPad to get that big problem solved.

    YOu have not provided any system info, version info or details about your printer. This is not going anywhere beyond stating the obvious - your system is not color managed.

    Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?  I use HP wireless printer .

    Are you sure you have the right printer?
    In UNIX/OSX printers are virtual links to devices and even with the same name can be trying to reach a printer via another network address, so it thinks it is another printer.

  • Why can't I upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6? My MPB spits out the disc before it ever appears on the desktop.

    Why can't I upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6.3? My MPB spits out the disk before it ever appears on the desktop. The Snow Leopard disk is brand new, was still in shrink wrap until I opened it. I do have the hard drive partitioned, running Win XP with Boot Camp, if that might be the issue.

    Hey vlntrg,
    I have a 2002 model Powerbook that will sometimes (most of the time) refuse to mount a CD or DVD. It just grunts for a while and then spits it back out. When this happens, I will slap the bottom of the machine several times with an open hand, not too hard and not too soft. I read this somewhere online (I forget where), and I was hesitant to try it, but it was cheaper than replacing the SuperDrive.
    This will often allow me to insert and use the CD or DVD. I have also noticed that I have less trouble when the machine is cold than when it's warm.
    I've not had this trouble with my MacBook Pro.
    Another thought. Would it be possible to boot your machine in target disk mode and update your software using a friend's Mac? I'm sure there are others here who can better answer that question.
    Hope this helps.
