Specifically, the rule is (Album Artwork) (is false) and you probably want to toss in a (Media Kind) (is) (Music) rule, too.

 Show Duplicate Songs is back! http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/13/itunes-11-0-1-released-bug-fixes-download/ So that's like one problem down, a few hundred to go. They also claim performance enhancements too.

I don't see a big performance boost; memory usage is huge still and iTunes still has issues with certain songs where it can take up to 10 seconds to start playing them.

Wario In Real Life posted:You know you can change the view of a playlist to "Artist List" view and then select all artists to give it that appearance, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this will preserve the playlist order (unless they happen to be alphabetical). I downgraded my other laptop this afternoon so I'm not able to check this easily

No idea if this is a common problem or what, so here goes: In light of Apple's policy to force video apps to remove certain audio codecs, I've decided to convert all of my movies to m4v and put them into iTunes (windows 7, desktop computer from 2009, so not top of the line but not terrible). I've been using Handbrake and it's been going swimmingly. Today I tried to play a blu-ray version of The Dark Knight in iTunes (~5GB). It's super choppy and won't play right. I open the same file in VLC and it works fine. This is where it gets weird: I can airplay that same file through iTunes to my Apple TV (3rd gen) or iPad 3 and it plays perfectly. Why is this happening? Why can an iPad 3 and AppleTV play a movie over Airplay just fine, but a desktop computer cannot? Clearly it's an iTunes problem, but can it be fixed?

Installing the new iTunes (11.0.1) on Windows 8 64bit was kind of a bitch. It kept telling me I didn't have permissions to a folder the installer created. I had to go out to the folder and assign full control to everyone to get it installed.

Not sure what that means, but I tried reinstalling Quicktime, which did not help. I also tried the same file on my Macbook Air and it played perfectly and didn't even seem to tax the CPU too heavily. It's definitely a Windows iTunes thing  must be a bug

I only just updated iTunes and discovered that the miniplayer was a thing, and I'm liking it immensely, but is there a way to have it display the "up next"-info horizontally (in line with the collapsed miniplayer) instead of vertically (in a pop-out window underneath the miniplayer)? I like the feature but with the list showing (resized to show just the next song) it takes up just a bit too much screen space.

The Airplay button is still missing for me. I saw it the very first time I launched iTunes 11 and it has been AWOL ever since. Also, if I launch it maximized, the window is still slightly larger than my display and I have to un-maximize it, resize it, and re-maximize it to make it display properly.

Yesterday, I was able to move an iTunes library to a new computer and syncing devices with the new computer didn't make me erase and resync the devices. It just added the new songs to the devices. Is this new??

Are there any ideas as to why iTunes 11 has problems starting playback on certain tracks? Everything worked fine with 10 but now, when in shuffle mode for instance, some tracks play instantly after the previous one ends but some take a good 5-10 seconds to get started, during which iTunes beachballs and my external whirrs quite a bit. The tracks themselves aren't any different (in format or quality) than the others and other media players play them instantly. The thing is that once iTunes does start playback on a problematic track, it plays it fine if I go back to it a little while later, but after a night in sleep mode or a restart of iTunes it happens again. One of my favorite albums does this and it's a bit jarring when there's a 10 second break between each track.

Are you letting iTunes manage your library? The first thing I thought of was that those particular tracks are on an external drive or something.

My drive setup right now is such that all my music files are on a second internal drive ("E:"), and my OS is on a much, much smaller SSD ("C:"). My iTunes is configured to use the E: drive's folder for music, but it keeps the standard iTunes folder, with all its libraries, apps, and artwork in the C: drive's music folder. This iTunes folder is upwards of 7GB, which I'd very much like to get off the C: drive and move it to the E:. However, if I backup/delete that from the C: drive, once I open it up again it just seems to synch up to the cloud and make the same huge folder in the smaller C: drive. I've got the 'let itunes manage my music' thing checked. Is there any way to move this data without iTunes flipping out and re-making the folder? edit: I dumb.

So I've managed to make iTunes what I want it to be, mostly just changing it back to similar to iTunes 10. The only thing I can't get it to do is to highlight/scroll down to the current song playing. If this doesn't make sense I can probably explain it better but on iTunes 10 when a song is playing, it scrolls down to the current album in the actual playlist rather than just showing the album art up top along with the song. Is there a way to change this? Google search hasn't turned up anything with the same problem so I imagine it's fairly unique to my needs. Thanks. I do like it otherwise. I wish I could convince myself to spend the time to customize Foobar2000 to my liking since I buy my music on Amazon and don't own an iPhone or iPod.

Symlinks should do what you want (store the actual files elsewhere while iTunes still "sees" them at the default location)

You can drag the stuff from your /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins and [user] /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plugins to the desktop and then reinstall them one at a time until you figure out if one of them is causing the problem. Although you may not have anyh plugins at all.

I just appeared to find a fix for this (for anyone who is still suffering this issue). Upgrading to iTunes 11.0.1 and the newest AppleTV update didn't help. Turn off IPv6 (in Windows search for 'View Network Connections, Properties, and uncheck the IPv6 box) in your settings and reboot. My iTunes immediately saw my AppleTV was there.

I think I know the answer to this question, but I'm not entirely sure. I'm getting a mac mini tomorrow to become a home server, and I'm going to make it my iTunes server. Right now I use my iMac for this, but I'm planning on moving the entire iTunes library, music and library files and all to the mac mini. Well, right now I sync all my iDevices with my iMac.. will I just start syncing with the mini instead? Will it just keep syncing even though I've moved it to a different computer? I'd hate to have to do a crazy backup and restore on all my devices just because I'm moving it to another computer. I'm hoping this will "just work"

I can't be 100% sure, but worst case is that your iDevice's icons get scrambled.

Alright, the other day I decided to buy iTunes Match but now I'm facing some problems with it: If I buy music from the itunes store I don't have any problems with using it or distributing it to my other iDevices, but today I decided to rip some of my CD's into the computer as MP3; I had the option to upload one of them to iCloud but the other 3 won't let me do it, I see the tiny clouds near each song but if I right clicl on the album I don't have the option 'Add to iCloud'. Does anybody have a clue on how to upload more than one album to iCloud? Or at least explain me how does iTunes match work? PS: The albums I'm trying to upload aren't on the iTunes store, could that be the reason? EDIT: Fixed , thank you anyway and sorry for the trouble!

Right now I use my iMac for this, but I'm planning on moving the entire iTunes library, music and library files and all to the mac mini. Are you letting iTunes manage your music for you on the old machine? If so, you should be able to drop the iTunes folder into the Music folder on the new Mac Mini and iTunes will automatically see the library and play everything just fine. It used to be the case that you had to erase / resync all of your devices with the new computer. The other day, however, I migrated someone's iTunes 11 library over to a new computer and it didn't force me to erase any of her devices. I don't know if it was a strange fluke, or new behavior related to iTunes 11.

If you run Migration Assistant, your iOS devices will sync with your Mac mini. No restore needed.

So, I moved the whole iTunes folder from one machine to another. The Mini is acting just like nothing happened. I had to plug my iDevices back up to the mini and turn on "Wifi Syncing" and push "Sync" once, but they all seem to be working just fine.

Here's an annoying problem I'm having: All my iTunes music is stored on my Mac laptop, and I frequently play it on my PC via Home Sharing. However, this frequently (as in, ~1 in 3) results in the last 30 or so seconds of the track being cut off and iTunes skipping prematurely to the next track. I can tell it to go back to the last track and drag the position indicator to roughly where it was, and it'll play the rest of the track fine... so why the hell is it chopping the ends off of so many songs?

Maybe I'm dumb but it feels like the "Shuffle" functionality has been kind of buried in a menu without even a hotkey to toggle it. It's been like that since 11 came out of course and is nothing new but I've neglected to say anything for fear that I was not seeing a button somewhere.

There's a shuffle toggle icon to the right of the playtime scrubber in the - what do we call it now, info area? Now playing area? The inset in the middle top of the window that used to be styled after an LCD. That thing. There's also a repeat toggle on the left side of the scrubber. Edit: MU ZETAAAAA!

I'm having a slight problem with iTunes, I guess, and I have no idea how to fix it. I have The Fat of the Land by The Prodigy on CD. I imported it a while back with iTunes. All the tracks appear proper in one album in iTunes itself, but on my iPod and iPad, "Climbatize" appears separately from the others in it's own album with the same exact title and information. Any ideas?It only started doing this after the iTunes 11 update. e: Never mind, I only just figured it out after posting this. "Part of a Compilation" was checked on that one track for some reason, despite all tracks coming off the original CD. Phoenixan fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Dec 21, 2012 |
