Why did Apple make iTunes 7 look like a Windows XP App.?

Why did Apple make iTunes 7 look like a Windows XP App.? This version of iTunes doesn't even look like it belongs in OSX. It's ugly is about the only way I can put it. I can't figgure out why they removed the EQ icon and didn't even assign a key command for it. Now yoy have to go into the menu to select it. Also I have noticed that it sometimes downloads the wrong artwork for album covers. The old version of iTunes seemed much better and I have reverted back to it untill Apple fixes the problems with version 7 and makes it look like part of the OSX family of applications.

Well I wouldn't say it was ugly but some changes do leave something to be desired.
I certainly aggree about the equaliser button and the visualiser button has gone too but at least they assigned a key command for it. The scrollbars need more colour and I'd prefer the buttons at the bottom to stand out a bit more like the ones at the top.
I see no reason to go back to iT6 though, especially as I would misss Cover Flow. You could have a long wait for a change of interface and in the meantime you miss out on the good parts of iT7. If your track information is correct and identical to that on the Store then it shouldn't get the wrong artwork. Luckily I already had most of my album covers in place from other sources such as Amazon and just used iTunes to get a few more. My only complaint about the Get Album Artwork feature is that it's getting it from the US store when I want it from the UK store.
Anyway these forums are really here to enable users to help each other solve problems and not to discuss Apple's decisions. If there are things you want changing then do what I and others do and send constructive criticisms and requests via the link below, if you haven't already.

I want to make iTunes look like Winamp

Hey-o,
I want to make iTunes look like Winamp. The old Winamp, around version 2 or 3, not the new one. How can I pull that off??
Commence jeering.... Now!

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Test {
     public static int staffCost;
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Inputing the information
     Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
     System.out.println("Please enter staff cost per hour");
     staffCost = s.nextInt();
     int quo = staffCost/100;
     int rem = staffCost%100;
     System.out.println("$"+quo+"."+rem);
}

Why did apple make two apps of music

Why did apple make two apps of music?

What do u mean two apps? One is for music, one for video now. iPod app is gone.

Why did Apple make the new iPod unable to use Griffin iTalk or iTrip?

I was so disappointed when I upgraded to the new 5th gen. iPod and was unable to use the accessories I purchased for my previous iPod. Am I missing something? What am I supposed to do? Is there an attachment that will make them usable? Why would Apple make a new iPod that wouldn't include the same connector?

See below your so-called answer to my question.
I also noticed you have marked it solved. If, as a moderator, you can say that your response was considerate of the people using the system then I guess it was solved. If I was to mark it I would say the reply was very condescending and thus worthy of a 1 out of 10 as far as a reply goes. In the future please do not answer my posts as I would like to be treated with a little respect as I'm sure you would like. Please get some other Mod who can perhaps relate to a person's concern. Your answer may be correct but your way of putting it across sounds like some of the 13 year old school children I use to teach.
You have a good day.

Why is it that iTunes looks different from all other apps again?

This might be a rather irrelevant question, yet I wonder: Why is it that iTunes doesn't look like the majority of other Apple apps? I guess it's mainly the scrolls bars and the check boxes. Not that I don't like the way iTunes look, I'm just curious why it has to look different when one of Leopard's goals was to make a more unified interface.
Can anyone enlighten me or is this something that only Apple knows?

"Besides, not all of us run Leapard, so wouldn't making iTunes look like leapard make it look different on all our systems that don't use leapard?"
That's a point But what I meant by that was that in Tiger there are many different kinds of windows where Apple in Leopard has tried to stick to just one. And that's why I think it's so weird that iTunes has to differ from all the rest.

Why did Apple destroy iTunes? Is there another music player for Mac.

I hate the new iTunes. Useless steps for navigation. They took something simple and complicated. Is there another music player for Mac. Unless I get the old iTunes back I'm done! I would use anything but this ridiculous player. How could they do this? Steve Jobs would never have let this happen.
Plus it's slow!!! Diffcult to burn CDs then find them. Yikes!!!!

iTunes works fine for me, and hasn't been "destroyed" by any means. If you can't deal with the new, simpler interface, just go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and "Show Status Bar". iTunes 11 will then look much like the pervious versions did.
Diffcult to burn CDs then find them.
Not sure what you mean here. In what way is it difficult to burn a CD, and what do you mean by "then find them"?

Why did Apple remove iTunes Dj in iTunes 11??????

I'm really sick of this trend. Apple insists on removing everything good that they actually do! It's like they continue to shoot themselves in the foot until there is nothing left to stand on. Aaaaaargggghhh! I just want iTunes DJ back!
Why Apple? Why?
It's like their primary objective these days is to slap their customers in the face.
First Youtube, then Maps, then this?
They might as well replace the Apple logo with a logo of a big smelly.....

You are very welcome. I'm happy you saw my post, and thanks for posting back and crediting me with a This helped me. You deserve the real credit because your post gave me the drive to search for a better solution than the command-period shortcut even though the removal of the flag icon in iPhoto '11 has bugged me ever since I first starting using it. I found an article where the author told about the gray flag icon on the top left corner of photos in the thumbnail view, but also criticized that it isn't in the view you really use to review pics. The author then went into the command-period shortcut option. What the author didn't mention and I brought to the solution was maximizing the zoom when in the thumbnail view. I gave myself a pat on the back for that one! lol
Have a great weekend, PainterLady!

New User Question: Make iTunes look like the My Music folder on my PC

Hello
I newbie question. I just bought a 60g with Video.
I use Winamp for my PC, and use a Plug-in called "Dynamic Library". This allows me to see directly into my "My Music" folder while using Winamp.
Is there something similar to this that I have missed? Or, to put it another way...is there a way to have a folder created for each artist rather than a list of each song and each artist? This would enable me to scroll by artist then click that artist to see song lists (hopefully)
iTunes has a list of 5000 songs making it difficult to scroll efficiently. I really hope I don't have to manually create hundreds of playlists (one for each artist) so that I can find a song quickly.
As always, I apologize in advance if this is incredibly obvious and I have had a brain **** and missed it.
Thanks for any feedback.

Thanks Dave
I see that. Here's an example of what I'm trying to do. In my My Music folder, I had a folder called "one hit wonders," iTunes has divided this into each artist or its album. My original folder was a mix of several one hit wonder albums. Then I find out that you have to manually add album art to each artist. There was a appropriate album art in each folder. I am just surprised that iTunes couldn't automatically recognize this when it originally downloaded each folder.
I have just spent so much time organizing my "My Music" folder...untold hours. Now I'm basically looking to go through that all over again.
I wonder if I had selected "manually label each folder" or whatever the choice was when iTunes started if this would be different?

Why did apple make me shut off find my iphone when i ordered a replacement iphone

I called 1800myiphone to get a replacement phone yesterday. When they told me they would send me a replacement the first thing the girl had me do was shut off find my iphone. Anyone know why?

That is required so that the Activation Lock is disabled.
As long as Find My iPhone is actived the only way anyone can do anything with it is by first entering your Apple ID and password. Otherwise all it is a brick.

My IPod touch 3rd gen. 8GB doesn't have any of the capabilities a "3rd gen." has. If I would have known this I might have purchased a 16 GB or 32 GB instead. Why did apple make such a product? Can I do something about this?

Please help.

That's because it's not actually a 3G iPod Touch. It's a 2G unit. Apple never sold 3G 8 GB iPod Touches, but some third party resellers erronenously reffered to them as so.

Why did Apple dumb down reminders in Mountain Lion iCal app?

I'd been running Leopard for a few years and was perfectly happy with it's functionality. Then I bought a new Mac and it came with Mountain Lion. iCal reminders pop up on the desktop and offer only two options to address them: snooze, close. Before I could select edit to customize continued reminders for any calendar item. So, dealing with calendar alerts is now just annoying. These kinds of "improvements" do not reflect well on the development management of their software products. And it does not make me a happier Apple customer.

Why did apple get rid of the activity window in OSX 10.8? That was such a useful feature.

This is BS if activity window is gone for good, so am I. I'm switching to crome.

It's not Activity Window, but if you go to Safari>Extensions and scroll down, you'll find Click to Flash. If you install this, it'll change the native .flv file to an .m4v or .mp4 (something like that). You can then just right click on the video in question and click on the dl button

Why did they make the new update so difficult i will probably never get another iphone now because of this update

I did this update just the way I've always done updates and had exactly the same problems: none. Unless you tell us what difficulties you had/are having, we can't really comment knowledgeably.
If, on the other hand, you just want to complain, you might as well do it where it may do some good. Submit your feedback to Apple:

Problem syncronizing my iPod Shuffle. iTunes makes it look like I have 2.

I have a new iPod generation 2 Shuffle. For some reason wnem I connect it to my USB port, it makes it look like I have 2 different iPod Shuffles. The first one shown under iTunes is as I registered it and says "Brad's iPod". The second one just says "iPod", yet shows the same serial number as shown under the first one with my name. I keep getting an error message when the second pops up and says that it seems that the iPod is corrupted and suggests I select the option to reset everything as it was with original factory settings. It prevents mefrom synchronizing my iPod.
Why is this doing this? Is there anyway to delete the second "instance" of the iPod being shown under the name of simply "iPod"? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Brad
