Why is there still no grid view in iTunes 11?

I am pretty tired of seeing message boards about it and no replies from Apple itself, since everyone seems p. upset about it

Ok, I'm writing this because I spent a lot of time trying to figure out a way to do
a unified inbox for Outlook 2010. I will give out a simple 3 step workaround and then one that is a little more elaborate. 
First let's agree that Unified Inbox is no more than a particular "VIEW" of your Inbox mails
on different account. So this is the same as querying your inboxes. So we can resolve this by doing a simple global query:
Workaround Solution:
1) Press Ctr+Alt+A
2) Type the following in the search box: folder: (Inbox)
received: (this week)
3) Hit enter and you should see your Unified inbox for all mails received this week.
A more elaborate solution to automate this is to do a Macro. Won't go into how to do this,
but this is the code you need:
1) This is the code for a UNIFIED INBOX:
Sub UnifiedInbox()
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
txtSearch = "folder:Inbox received: (this week)"
myOlApp.ActiveExplorer.Search txtSearch, olSearchScopeAllFolders
Set myOlApp = Nothing
End Sub
2) This is the code for a UNIFIED SENT BOX:
Sub UnifiedSentbox()
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
txtSearch = "folder: (Sent Mail) sent: (this week)"
myOlApp.ActiveExplorer.Search txtSearch, olSearchScopeAllFolders
Set myOlApp = Nothing
End Sub
3) Add Buttons to Your Bar:
Finally add custom buttons to your Ribbon to call the respective Macros so you can quickly
toggle the Unified Inbox when needed.
By now you should get the idea, so tweak per your own needs!

    As of version 31, why is there still no Thunderbird option to QUICKLY insert current date and time in message that you are writing?
    Literally have seen this very-much-needed -- and used -- option "promised" for three years now, and even if there's only one or two formats that could be used, at least the option is there.
    It seems only way is to link a Macro and tool to Thunderbird and do it that way.

    Where was it promised? A quick search of Bugzilla didn't find a functionality request bug report for it.
    I assume you're aware that Mozilla stopped development about 2 years ago (just adds security/stability fixes and provides infrastructure) and all new features and bug fixes are now added by the community. They seem pretty tied up with bug fixes and reworking some hard to maintain components such as the MIME support.
    Have you tried the Timestamp add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/timestamp/ ? The version at AMO doesn't support versions later than 2.0 so you'd need to do something like install the disable add-on compatibility checks add-on at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/checkcompatibility/?src=ss, and ignore the warning message about Timestamp not being compatible. However, the author has a version at http://extensions.sanjer.nl/?page=tb_ts that supposedly supports up to Thunderbird 11.9.x so it should be "compatible by default as it supports version 5 or later and is not a binary add-on like Lightning or Enigmail.
    "For Thunderbird use the context menu (right click popup) in the compose window, Ctrl+Shift+T or "Options | Insert timestamp" to inserts the date/time into a message"

  • Aperture 3 update.  Why is there still no eraser for the retouch tool?

    Perhaps I'm missing something, but: Why is there still no eraser for the retouch tool?
    I realize you can delete retouch strokes, but they are in linear order so you often have to delete useful ones to go far enough back to get the one that you've decided no longer works.
    I would rather have the ability to erase strokes back to the original image, much like the way the History Brush works in Photoshop, and indeed the eraser tool works in many other Aperture bricks.
    Example, I retouch an eye, and then move on to retouch an ear.  Then I decide I don't like the eye brush strokes.  In order to remove one stroke on the eye retouch, I have to delete all the successful brush strokes I've made to the ear (i.e. those that came after the stroke I wish to remove from the eye).  This is needlessly complicated and inefficient.
    Many of other bricks in Aperture have an eraser tool to selectively remove brushstrokes.  Why not the retouch tool?
    Also, many other bricks in Aperture allow for stacking or layering bricks of the same adjustment with different brush choices.  Why not the retouch tool?
    Am I missing something?

    We are just users here.  Feature Enhancement requests need to be made via Apple's official approved channel.  You can get there from within Aperture by clicking "Aperture➞Provide Aperture Feedback".
    Retouching (and cloning) involves not just applying a transformation to the selected pixels, but basing that transformation on _other, non-contiguous_ pixels sampled from the image.  This leads me to think that there may be intractable technical problems setting up the kind of workflow you propose.

  • Problem sorting by Artist in grid view using Itunes 8

    I have a lot of albums that contain various artist and i set up the info in each with the correct artist name and "various artist" as the album artist. In itunes 8 when i use grid view and use show by artist it displays by album artist putting all the albums by "various artist" in one grid. It's correct in list and cover flow view. How can i set the grid view to display by the artist of the song and not the album. (ex. Soundtrack from the motion picture Tropic Thunder: Display "U Can't Touch This" under MC Hammer instead of Various Artist)

    Actually, the grid view should be using the Album Artist tag. When the Album Artist tag was added in iTunes 7.0, the intent was to allow users to properly tag songs based on the artist and any guest artists. For instance, on Luther Vandross’ album +Give Me The Reason+ Track 6, “There’s Nothing Better Than Love” is a duet. Therefore, while the Artist tag for the rest of the tracks should be ‘Luther Vandross’, the correct tag content for Track 6 is ‘Luther Vandross duet with Greory Hines’. Without having ‘Luther Vandross’ in all the Album Artist tags for all 9 album tracks, iTunes would split the album as if there are two albums of the same name by different artists.
    The other situation are producer-driven albums like Quincy Jones’ +The Dude+ or +Back On The Block+ . These are not compilations, as you described, because the songs were produced for the albums and Quincy Jones, although not a performer on any of the tracks, is the album artist. The exception is soundtracks that are compilations of songs typically produced for a given film. Like the situation you describe, each track has a different artist, so by having ‘Quincy Jones’ in the Album Artist tag for each track, iTunes maintains the integrity of the album and keeps the tracks properly grouped.
    (Now if Apple would only acknowledge and fix the persistent bug that does not carry these grouping and sorting features over to the user’s music folder when they have enabled “Keep iTunes Music folder organized” in iTunes’ preferences.)
    The situation you are specifically referencing is that of tagging compilations—albums that consist of tracks by various artists where there is no actual album artist—but you have used the Album Artist tag effectively forcing iTunes to see them as single artist albums. I also tag compilations—e.g., Various Artists (Hip Hop), Various Artists (Jazz), Various Artists (R&B), Various Artists (Soundtrack), etc.—, so I understand what you have done. Unfortunately, the fix for forcing the grid view to recognize individual artists in compilations may require you to clear out the Album Artist tag on all of your compilation album tracks forcing iTunes to revert to the Artist tag in place of the Album Artist tag.
    What I would suggest is clearing the Album Artist tag of just one compilation and seeing what happens. If the album appears under “Unknown Artist”, or some other generic listing, in the grid view then iTunes only recognizes the Album Artist tag and I am at a loss as to what you could do. If it works as you hope, then you can go ahead an clear out the Album Artist field on the rest of your compilation albums.
    The downside of clearing the Album Artist field is that iTunes will revert to its pre-version 7 habits and break up the albums; that is, a compilation with 12 tracks by 12 different artists will appear in the various views as 12 different albums albeit with the same name and cover art. To keep the tracks properly grouped in other views, you will need to mark all of the tracks from the compilation albums as “Part of a compilation” in the info dialog.

  • Why ist there still no 5.0a2 x64 windows version for download?

    Even the 4.0 x64 windews version was imho stable enough for a release. But the x64 version was planned for 5.0.
    But where ist the test version?
    The 6.0 version is not stable enough to use so I'm back on 4.0pre13.

    Alright Firefox Users,
    As I'm typing this to y'all, I'm chatting with a LIVE Mozilla Firefox Support agent online in regards to the x64.
    This particular agent advised as of the Firefox 3.0 edition, the 64bit version was available to be downloaded for use. I have spent the last 1.5hrs trying to get this strighten out as they claim that the 64bits are released but I have proved to him, NO WHERE on this site does it claim there has been a 64bit release.
    I have also sited the two different links [http://techblog.weblineindia.com/news/firefox-5-0-to-have-64-bit-version-for-windows-in-2011 Firefox 5.0 to have 64-bit Version for Windows in 2011] and also [[822874|Why is't there still no 5.0a2 x64 windows version for download?]] where clearly states there is nothing.
    Fortunately for us, Mozilla has decided to make a higher version called Nightly 8.0 which DOES NOT have any of the add-on that you might be looking for, but to be honest, this version of browser is honestly ONE OF THE BEST I've ever used despite the lack of add-on available. I believe this would definitely make your browser perform a bit better, and if you have some patience with Firefox/Nightly, they'll eventually come out with add-on bit by bit.
    In my final saying, I hope you guys encourage the techs you correspond with, have done all their research before you disconnect with them as it could be really difficult to wait for them to come back online from whatever they're doing.
    So before you beg and plea for more x64 stuff, try the [http://nightly.mozilla.org/ Firefox Nightly Builds - These builds are for testing purposes only]

  • Playing a playlist with multiple albums in Grid View in iTunes 8

    Hi All,
    Here is a situation I came across, that was quite unexpected compared to the behaviour in iTunes 7.
    Suppose I have a playlist with multiple artists/albums. I have this playlist in Grid View. I choose this playlist from the left side navigation tree and press the play button. This playlist is set to shuffle by songs. I expect it to play a song and jump to the next song. iTunes 8 would just keep playing the same songs in the first album listed in the Grid View and would not jump to any other.
    http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/4726/itunes20080910191124oh2.jpg
    In this screenshot above, it will keep the songs in "The Very Best Of". If I press Ctrl+L (show now playing) then it would show only the songs in this album. This quite explains why it doesn't play other songs.
    To explain a bit more on what's happening:
    If I go to List View the song now playing does not have the Now Playing icon:
    http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1113/itunes20080910191500vf3.jpg
    Notice it is playing "Opa Opa" but in the List View, it doesn't show it.
    This is because in Grid View if you play a song from the playlist, it has its own "virtual playlist"
    http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/5269/itunes20080910191525wl1.png
    Notice the now playing icon there.
    Why is this the case?
    I hope you guys understood what I was trying to explain.

    turingtest2: I had already done exactly what you described in the *"Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist"* section of your article. But what I hadn't done was the advice you gave as the last sentence in this section...*"In addition if you change the Compilation status of tracks they may be temporarily treated as tracks from an Unknown Album, again things should resolve themselves if you close and reopen iTunes".* As soon as I closed and restarted iTunes, the Unknown Album with five tracks disappeared and the tracks were again displayed with the correct album.
    Your article is a great read, even for people who understand iTunes...there is a lot of helpful advice there to have bookmarked just in case any of the other problems you address are ever encountered. Thanks for taking the time to compile it and share it iTunes users.

  • How do I change background shade of grid-view in iTunes 11?

    I've just downloaded and installed iTunes 11 and can't seem to find a way to alter the background colour of grid view. It's bright white or bright white! No options to tone it down to grey or black. Help!

    Looks like they removed that option
    I was a little worried they would actually, I have no idea why they sometimes remove cool features on updates.
    Keep your eye out, someone will probably find a way to hack it back to grey.

  • Albums split up in new grid view on itunes 8

    when browsing my albums in the new grid tab of itunes, some of my albums are split up into their own separate album. for example the "august rush" album i purchased from itunes is split into twelve different albums. how do i combine those songs so all the songs are in one album slot?
    i have already changed the "sort album by" to "title" in the "view" tab.
    any suggestions and i would really appreciate it

    *Grouping tracks into albums*
    Excuse the long post, but hopefully covering all the bases (that I can think of) will help you fix the other issues you are likely to run into as you try to organise your library.
    The iPod (and iTunes to a lesser extent) conflates two or more albums with the same title, most obviously with *Greatest Hits*. On the iPod this can result in one album acting as a combination of two or more. Selecting any cover gives all the tracks of all albums with the same title. The workaround for this "Greatest Hits" bug is to give each album a unique title - I tend to go for *Album - Album Artist* as this reads clearly in the iTunes browser. Alternatively you could use the wording as it appears on the cover, append different numbers of spaces for each different album or set different values for the Sort Album.
    iTunes relies on the Gracenote CDDB database when identifying CD's. This often marks collections or anthologies of an artist's work as a compilation. In iTunes, however, the compilation flag has the logical function of grouping together tracks with the same album name, but different artists on each track, e.g. "Now That's What I Call Metal 666!". These compilations are then all grouped together at the end of cover flow. Most of us however, would expect "Greatest Hits" albums to be listed with the other albums by the same album artist. For albums which are essentially by a single album artist or group it is best to set the appropriate value for the album artist and clear the compilation flag.
    Sadly the iPod ignores the Album Artist field when grouping albums which causes problems when some tracks list guest artists. You can simply mark the entire album as a compilation which seems to be the way iTMS handles it, however that's not an ideal fix. Short of waiting for Apple to address this issue (and as far as I can tell it goes back to the 1st gen. of iPods) we need a workaround. What I do is to put any additional artist info. in square brackets after the song name. E.g. *Track \[Feat. Guest\]* and then set *Artist=Album Artist* for each track. For anthologies where the Album Artist is credited as part of another group, e.g. for Cream tracks on an Eric Clapton anthology, I use *Track \[As Group\]*. For a track where the main Album Artist doesn't receive a credit, e.g. the first track of the Slim Shady LP credited to Jeff Bass, I just set the track name to *Track \[Guest\]* while still setting the artist to the album artist. N.b. I use square brackets to indicate this is information about the track rather than part of the song title and also use this style for Mix/Live/Bonus info.
    iTunes may split albums into two or more sections if some tracks from the album have different values for Artist, Album Artist, Album, No. of Discs or Part of a Compilation. Tiny differences such as trailing spaces, accented characters or variants of symbols can sometimes be quite hard to spot. The iPod is also more sensitive to case variations and may split or reorder an album that looks okay in iTunes. Normally overtyping the desired value for each shared field will complete the grouping of the album into one entity. Occasionally, however, this method seems to fail. When this happens I've found that you can force every field to update properly by adding some extra text - e.g. a trailing X, which once applied seems to complete the joining of the tracks into one album. Once this has happened the extra data can be removed and the album should remain properly grouped.
    The Sort Artist, Sort Album & Sort Album Artist fields can be used to override the normal sort order. For example iTunes automatically drops leading prepositions (a/an/the) so "The Beatles" are arranged under "B" instead of "T". Occasionally different tracks from the same album can have different values in these sort fields which can also break up the grouping. Making the sort columns visible in iTunes can help with spotting & correcting such problems.
    Multi-disc albums are often listed as *Album (CD1)* for CD 1, *Album (CD2)* for CD 2 etc. To display these properly using just one cover, each disc should have the correct *Disc X of Y* values set, and then the entire album should be given the single title Album. Being somewhat obsessive I also renumber the tracks sequentially, working backwards from the last track until I reach disc 1.
    With classical music you also need to be wary of alternative representations of artist/composers names. The menus will work best if for each composer you standardise on just one form of their name. E.g. make a choice between Mozart, W.A. Mozart or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and then apply it consistently. I tend also to use the Composer as the Artist & Album Artist and either discard performer details or place these into the Description field. (I’d use Comments but iTunes has a habit of writing long hex strings into it for no readily apparent reason).

    Sometimes when I click on an app in itunes, instead of going to the regular profile page, where I can download it, it shows the internet browser version of the page (which you can usually access off apple site). And it has the "view in itunes" button where the regular download/purchase button is. Thing is, I am already viewing it in itunes.

  • Prefer older grid view of itunes store - can i get it back?

    after resisting for a couple of years, i updated my version of the itunes store to itunes9. in the process, i lost the no-nonsense grid view listing of tracks for purchase, including the ability to click-and-drag to re-size columns when not all the info is visible. predictably, the 'new' store view is laden with album art graphics, and seems designed to launch new windows favouring album purchases at every step. however, the main problem is: it loads and navigates SO slowly and clunkily for me, it's driving me nuts. any way to get back to the old grid view?

    Sadly, no. I don't like the new store layout, either, for reasons you mention, and others.
    Such as, not really being able to sort by release date.
    Clicking on the Artist name, followed by "See All", now gives items that aren't even remotely associated with that artist.

  • Why is there a 3d grid on my artwork?

    I have a pdf that is grainy. It is set as a background layer in illustrator and I am drawing new vector objects on top of it to rebuild it. For some reason, a blue, orange and green grid appears in the middle of the artboard (which looks like it is a x,y,z axis grid). There is also a circle in the upper left corner with a 3 sided cube in it which floats above the layers that I add. This circle has a small 'x' in the corner, which looks like it would close the element but it does nothing. How do I remove these two things?

    Yes, simply turn off the perspective in the view settings - like you would any guides or grids.

  • Why are there still preinstalled MD2 Root Certs from verisign with FF3,4,5 ?

    Hi,
    i added a verisign root certificate in the troubleshooting section.
    This cert is signed with an md2 hashing algorithm, as mentioned on the 26c3 in berlin 2009.
    It's still enabled by default for WEB, Email and other.
    I strongly suggest to remove it, like anyone else did.
    Interesstingly, the cryto shell extention from windows says sha1 , but openssl does not mention sha1 at all. I think openssl is right :)

    Do those certificates have a SHA1 fingerprint?
    I do not think that Firefox will use the MD5 (MD2?) fingerprint if that is the case.
