Why doesn't iTunes give me a way to bookmark or favorite items for later purchase or download?

I was recently downloading from iTunes U and found it really annoying that when I go back to download another episode I have to hunt for them. Wouldn't a simple bookmarking or favorites (similar to Amazons wish list) be super simple?  Same with App store. You find an app you like, forget about it or decide to purchase later and you're digging through100,000+ apps. Yes search works, buts it's an unnecessary step.  Any ideas or Apple dev guys listening???

You can download iOS 5.0.1 via a browser : https://discussions.apple.com/message/16703914#16703914

  • Why wont my itunes give me and error of being offline when im online

    why wont my itunes give me and error of being offline when im online

    Ummmmm, what?
    You want iTunes to error and say it is offline when infact it is not?
    Want to try again?  Maybe in your native language so it will make some logical sense.

  • Why doesn't iTunes add protected MPEG-4 audio files to its music library?

    Why doesn't iTunes add protected MPEG-4 audio files to its music library?  I copied these files to my iMac from an old PC laptop that no longer has internet access.

    After downloading via iTunes, I move MP3 files from the default iTunes podcast folder to another folder (on an a external disk), I also change the name of the file and I change some MP3-tags.
    You download from the iTunes store, delete the podcast, mess with it, move it around, rename it, change the tags then try to add it back to iTunes?
    I want all my files in one index, the iTunes Music Library
    In iTunes, right click - get info, click the Options tab and set *Media Kind:* to Music.

  • Why doesn't itunes 11 (Win) show us the length of podcasts?  Only new ones d/l thru it show, and even then not - when I can use an old version (10) and it shows me much more info.  Am I missing a setting?  Thanks!!!

    Cannot see or sort podcasts via itunes 11 (Win) like I could in iTunes 10 .. am I missing something?  Same goes for playlists.  I often take old-time-radio music and/or shows and need them in date-order to make them work (say, ep 1 is one date, ep 2, etc - among dozens of titles).  IS there is a setting or did Apple just get rid of it?  I have a laptop with iTunes 10 but have tried to get used to the newer versions on my Mom's PC. I don't want to update until I can use it the same way. 
    Serial radio must be in order.  And I have to at least see that in the display to put it in a playlist.  Podcasts that show dates from several years ago in ver. 10 no long show anything like it now.  Nor, btw, does length of file play.  I use it as an over night "podcast radio" and need it to make sense.  aIf I need extra steps outside of iTunes okay.  Just wish Apple had made it clear and it hasn't.
    Thanks!

    Once you do get things working... Hardware crashes or virus infections happen, so you should buy software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step if something doesn't work
    This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-Activate if you change very much hardware)
    The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
    Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
    Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or re-activate a single program, from Windows on up

  • Where do updates get installed - why doesn't it give us a choice?

    I keep my personal program files on a separate external drive in case of need to
    reinstall. So my Reader is on this separate drive.
    But it is not clear that this is where the updates go.
    Most programs give you a location choice as to where to install the updates.
    Why doesn't Adobe - and will they change this?

    In addition to the above reply, you do get a choice when doing the original Adobe Reader install; see the option "Change Destination Folder" below

  • Is the only way to get your money back for unauthorised purchases to go thru the lengthy email customer support process?

    I want my money back and I want it now. Why doesn't apple have a phone number for urgent account problems? i got an overdrawn fee from my bank, I checked the transactions and found apple iTunes charged me 11 times in one day with the total amount being over $170.00!!!!! The only purchases I made that day were a few $1.29 inapp purchases. How do I get my money back??? And why don't they have a phone number you can contact. This is an urgent problem because not only have they charged me over $170 & Ive got a $30 overdrawn fee there are MORE transactions from apple on my bank account that are "pending". These transactions are of a similar amount & they are not for anything I have purchased! i have been forced to cancel my credit card to stop apple from doing anymore but I want my money back!

    Thanks but unfortunately I don't have that option (I'm im Australia) so this will be day 8 that apple have my money without authorisation. The amount has now increased due to the transactions that were pending prior to me cancelling my credit card. The total is now over $300 including the overdrawn fee. It is beyond comprehension that a company the size of apple doesn't have a *real* customer service dept that handle these types of *real* problems immediately via phone contact but I guess that's the point isn't it? If we want to use the apps they provide thru their services and devices we have no choice but to put up with their primitive third world service. I sent them an email via the link you provided 4 days ago. There is no excuse for me to be STILL waiting for this problem to be resolved - none whatsoever, it is disgusting. Thanks for responding I had a feeling that was the only way to get this resolved, only it is so unbelievable I had to make sure.

  • Why doesn't iTunes always give the option to search the iTunes store?

    When a library search produces no results, why isn't there a button to search the iTMS with the search box contents?

    I'm not sure anyone but the engineers or iTunes would know the answer to this. WHy not put in your feedback?

  • Why doesn't iTunes always find my iPhone or iPad?

    Using iTunes 10.7 and  OS 10.8.2.  I have Airport wifi and good signal.  Many times I will start iTunes and either or both my iPhone and iPad will not show up as devices even though they are sitting right next to me (not using the cord).  Both devices are on my network and active when this happens.  Sometimes both will show up, sometimes one, sometimes neither.
    I can't figure out a way to have iTunes "re-scan" for devices, and closing and re-opening iTunes usually doesn't help.

    @ sealandia, - What type of printer and Apple device do you have? Have you changed routers or some other part of your set up? If not and the same Apple device, router, and printer are still in use, I would start by making sure that the printer and the device are on the same network. After you have checked to make sure that they are on the same network, I would power cycle the printer, router and device to make sure that they are all synced up as they can get out of sync and then not be able to "see" each other.
    To do that power cycle:
    1. Unplug the router (most do not have an on/off button)
    2. While waiting for at least 30 seconds on the router, completely power down the Apple device, and printer. Make sure that the Apple device
    is off and not just in sleep mode. Power the printer down using the power button.
    3. Plug router back in, wait for it to be fully back on and working, then turn printer and phone back on, check network settings.
    4. Attempt to print again after all devices are back on and running.

  • Why doesn't iTunes use track names on burned cd's instead of querying Gracenote?

    I run a recording studio and burn cd's of original music for clients. Sometimes when those clients open their cd in itunes, titles and artist names with no connection whatsoever to their music are displayed. Why does itunes not just use the titles burned with the cd instead of automatically querying Gracenote and arbitrarily assigning incorrect titles and artists to the disc? I have even imported such a disc into itunes, changed the titles and artist name, created a new playlist with those songs, and burned a disc from that corrected playlist, only to have it come up wrong again when the new disc is opened in itunes. This needs to be fixed. Some of those clients use the burned discs as booking demos, and having another artist's name and song titles come up causes confusion and embarassment.

    ed2345,
    No need for you to be an a-hole.
    Fair enough, although you are better off getting that feedback from me than from one of your clients who puts 2 and 2 together. 
    I clearly stated that quite often these were unfinished projects, often with working titles that may or may not be the final title.
    What you "clearly stated" is that your clients are having "confusion and embarassment."  Is that not sufficient for you to get those discs into the database?
    ....if the names haven't changed will Gracenote accept a submission of the same titles but different running times from the same artist and delete the old one?
    If the running times are different, it will look like a different CD to Gracenote.  If the CD is not the final version, you should append its title with "Demo" or "Work in Progress" or a similar indication that will distinguish it from the final "real" version.
    You may have a misimpression about Gracenote.  Yes, they are authoritative about commercial CDs, but they have also opened their DB for submissions to any hobbyist with iTunes and a burner.  They have tons of such things in their database.  There is absolutely no need for you to avoid putting your stuff in there.  In fact, since iTunes cannot read CD Text, there is currently no way other than Gracenote to solve the iTunes problem which brought you to this Forum.

  • Why doesn't iTunes match work?

    I just got iTunes match and it doesn't work! it uploads the songs that it can't match but it can't even match half of the songs. but thats not my main issue. the issue is the matched songs doesn't sync with the songs in iTunes as if i didn't buy the thing at all. it doesn't give me the artwork, the title (if the old one is incorrect) or any other information that should be changed. it doesn't formate it, to a better quality, as it should. Please keep in mind that these are for the matched songs. i even waited 2 days for it to finish uploading the unmatched songs thinking that it matches the songs when its done. but nothing. Please help, tell me what to do!

  • Why doesn't iTunes copy all my files, and how do I know which it left out?

    Hello,
    I had iTunes on my old PC, and when I installed it on my new one (Vista Home Premium), it very helpfully deleted everything off my iPod and copied it all back again! As it happens, the only files on the iPod were from the iTunes library, so it didn't matter, but it was annoying.
    Anyway, now it has (supposedly) synched my library and iPod, if I look at the library, it shows 1164 songs. If I look at my iPod, it only shows 1157 songs.
    How do I know which songs iTunes didn't copy over? More to the point, anyone any idea why it didn't just copy all of them?
    Thanks for any help.

    OK, thanks for all the replies.
    hmacross: I have checked for duplicates, and there were some there. This was because when I installed iTunes, it insisted on scanning my entire hard disk and adding every audio file it could find, even though I didn't want it to. I only wanted it to add ones in my Music folder. I had to do a fair amount of work to clean this up! Anyway, I just checked again, and there aren't any duplicates in my iTunes library.
    Chris: If I look in my iTunes library, and show all the audio files as a big list, at the bottom it gives me the total number of files, and the total play length. If I look at the iPod, I see similar numbers.
    After some tidying up, the iTunes library shows 1149 songs, and the iPod shows 1147 songs, so there's still a discrepancy. I have double checked for duplicates, so that's not the issue.
    Thanks again. Any further help would be appreciated.

  • Why doesn't itunes see that my ipod is a video ipod?

    Hi,
    I am getting really annoyed with this. I have always used a photo ipod 30GB, but I now have a video one. However when I try to add videos to the ipod itunes tells me that not all songs were added to the ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod.
    Also, when I go to preferences the video area is greyed out.
    What can I do?
    I have reinstalled the software, and itunes itself. I have restored the ipod, updated it to 1.1.1, and I have looked through all the online tutorials, but I still can't do it.
    My friends ipod also has the same problem on my PC.
    WHY?
    PLEASE, PLEASE HELP - I'm going out of my mind!

    Hi mattweb,
    Windows is probably confusing your iPod with a USB network device. In this case, definetely try assigning your iPod a different drive letter.
    If "My Computer" recognizes your iPod, then try performing the steps below:
    1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
    2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
    3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
    4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
    5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
    Here's what it should look like:
    Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
    For more details, see this article:
