Those Annoying Post Bros. #12

It might be a bug but how would we know given that iTunes 12 seems to be one series of cock ups after another? I think I figured it out! Their job as designers is to make tasks easier, more functional and convenient to the user. Considering the expense of Apple products, the least they could do is not waste users time. Productivity is a major resource, and I would like to see a comprehensive study of the amount of productivity that is lost trying to adjust to their incessant and useless updates.

Including the time lost having to participate in discussions such as this since their website and help is not designed to solve real-user problems. Unless you buy their latest product every few months. Planned obsolesence has gone wild at Apple. Steve Jobs, spinning in his grave.

The Kool-Aid is stronger than ever. I think Desktops are pretty much awful right now in terms of GUI. In iTunes 11, it was always there. Another defect which hopefully will be addressed on the first update is in Windows maybe Mac too it leaves a Data Execution Program notice saying iTunes was shut down after you shut it down. It eats memory as it sends reports to Microsoft, but is fully recoverable after a disk cleanup or system restore. I do like iTunes 12s minimalist look, clean, modern, lines and the light grey colors actually bring out the color in my artwork.

Back in the s, I had to contend with scratchy 78 rpm records, then scratchy vinyls, so this will be easy. I guess Apple felt it was critical to prevent users from actually assigning the correct gasp Genre to individual music files, even those purchased from the iTunes store! This has the effect of expecting you to download content dynamically as you select it, yet mysteriously allocates space on disk for it too. Switching back to not enabled may meanyou have allocation for both Match and your physical iTunes database.

Which may not fit. A mess, usually requiring a restore and reloading all of those downloads …. How do I switch off shuffle- There is tick next to Off and if I make the tick next to On the shuffle goes blue meaning it is on I guess and when it is next to Off the shuffle goes black again. When I switch it off it still plays random track. I have the same problem…with v Really, has anyone figured it out yet? It would have been much better if they kept the sidebar on by default.

It was disorienting at first to use it without the sidebar, and the app feels useless without it. I named the tracks for a reason. I just wish there were a key command for it like [Command-Option-i]. And I second a comment from below… Podcasts are getting hard and harder to deal with. If they want the genre to thrive, they ought to stop trying to kill it oh wait — maybe they want it to do die? Apple is totally over thinking iTunes. I buy half as much music as I used to because opening iTunes has become aversive. I just launched v.

I fondly remember a great feature they once had where you select any track in your library and you got a nice preview list of other tunes you might like to try. Once that was gone my iTunes spending plummeted. I read the online instruction on how to get Genius recommendations. It works great for tunes in my library but not for tunes in the store. Who on earth needs so many so called upgrades?? Are you listening Apple? Have you not noticed the steep drop in my spending? Am getting very frustrated! Whenever I change anything album, name, artist, or genre info it automatically goes to the top of the page meaning I have to find the track I was just on — really irritating if there is more than one thing about a track I want to change — any way to stop it from doing this or is this just punishment for getting music outside of iTunes?

They broke iTunes after Actually I liked 9 best. I like album art, a lot. I like as many possible ways to access and modify my music database lets not forget, it is a database as possible. My beloved and constantly used cover flow was gone. Applying filters search was an ephemeral affair, what with having to constantly restart the search.

64 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About Grief

As, I said, as far as I was concerned they broke it. It appears that Apple is in the process of killing it. I am so glad I waited to upgrade to 12 until I read a little about it. From what I can see, they have changed iTunes from an elegant way to allow me to enjoy my media from And that is their prerogative. It is mine to decide that iTunes is no longer what I want to use to access and play my music. I have already begun using a separate metadata editor to manage that part of my library.

Unfortunately, there is not yet a viable player available with which I can buy to do that.

I imagine one will come soon. Apple has decided that people like me are not profitable enough to get in their way as they change iTunes to an instrument of commerce to benefit their bottom line. I hope that software developers rapidly come forward and bring back something at least as good as I will buy it. Thank you, I totally agree with you, itunes 9 was the last good version, then downhill and couter-intuitive, fewer options for personal choice from then on.

I hope someone does make a program like the old itunes. I am over 50 and need the colors to distinguish groupings, such as playlists from music folder etc. They should at least give us a choice of using boring all grey or having a variety of colors for sidebar icons. There is a way to change this in the finder, but not in Itunes 12 that I can find. But the bottom line is that it is less user-friendly and personal re: Mark I totally agree, I loved iTunes 9 and grew to love iTunes I skipped 11 and mistakenly installed Thanks for the article.

Instead the short key opens up the downloads window. Anybody know how to get pass this petty but annoying problem? This afternoon I installed iTunes12 after a suggestion by a very well educated Apple chat employee in order to improve search functionality. In addition, I want the sidebar back as well which shows clearly devices and categories. And the interface is so boring, a big lack of hierarchy, like all Apple design since their damned iOs7. Coincidentally it was frustration with the new design while trying to queue up Einstein on the Beach that brought me to this site.

I keep my Miniplayer at the bottom of the screen. When I click Up Next the Miniplayer slides up, revealing upcoming songs. However, clicking Up Next again causes the list to slide up into the Miniplayer, thereby causing it to now float halfway up the screen instead of sliding back down to the bottom where I put it. The info window no longer shows it and I can not see anything but the new style info window.

Selecting more than one file simply does not work as this article states. This itunes is a nightmare. Jony Ive is the worst. Are there any mp3 player alternatives out there? I run iTunes on an HP laptop with Windows 7. When i installed I finally had to do a system restore from a previous restore point.

Since then i quit installing updates until iTunes 12 came out.

You are here:

When i try to select which podcast s to sync by clicking on the check box, it selects the one above the one i clicked on — weird! Am I alone in this? Have you tried with a mouse? Let me ask you — is there a 3rd-party app that does a good job of replacing most the iTunes functions i. I could care less about iTunes AppStore access! Does anyone know if you can make the iTunes video playback control panel bigger? My itunes says I have one video file at WTH is going on? I reverted back from iTunes 11 to 10 as I found 11 so bad. Yes I want my sidebar back. Yes I wish Apple had made new views available instead of forcing them on us.

Yes, I can not believe they got rid of list view! I look at that little orange icon and think, hmm do I want to click on that and wait for the spinning beachball of Mavericks and then try to search for my music in 10 thousand stupid little squares? Why did you betray us Apple?

Items in search results

Is there a bug that randomly makes some playlists in iTunes look empty when there are definitely songs there? All my playlists sync normally, and I can see the songs on my iPhone and nano. The playlists only look empty in iTunes. Has anyone else experienced this? I changed from Version What I got is n. I am using iTunes mainly to manage lots of subscribed podcasts and to put them on my iPod: And so on and so forth. But, please, no Apple shortcuts, as I am using Windows!

This will make it list as one album. They still exist on the hard drive though. The way iTunes sync works overall makes no sense to me. I use my portable devices for different things than my computers. Drag and drop would be fine for me. They need to make iTunes so that you can make it stop playing after each track, if you want.

I miss being able to see the order things were sorted in. I had to do a bunch of hacks just to put a black background in so white light is not blazing in my face all day. Thankfully, I read reviews like this before updating and will stay with 11 as long as possible or until Apple makes positive changes. I need to type the correct version elsewhere and copy it back into iTunes.

It is not functional. Apple has definitely lost its way. The idea of a file system is to make it easier to find files, not hide them in ever-deeper layers of menus. And thank you for alerting me to the concept of contextual menus. I had no idea such a dumb idea existed. And especially the covers as I think in visuals.

And whatever data I changed, does not get saved. I can fill it in, click OK and nothing changes. Option-click for the iTunes11 look does not help either. And all I find on the internet are a lot of iTunes12 irritations and bugs. Nowhere do I see Apple responding anywhere to any of these issues.

I want an update with fixes! With bringing back options that users, clients of Apple, want to see in the product. The software is there to serve customers, right? This view for me is totally greyed out for movies purchased from iTunes and the genres apple creates are all over the place.

I just installed version 12 and the biggest problem is that the sound gets choppy if I run Chrome. For example, as I type this, the music is stuttering for lack of a better word. What is up with that? Is there a way to go back to previous versions? I downloaded itunes1 the day it came out. They have slowly ruined it though. Am I suddenly very dumb? TV shows do not group properly- sometimes I get a couple of sorts for the same season although the fields are all properly sorted.

Cant seem to find the issues. I was using manual to just drap and drop tracks. Apple is a disaster…. If I needed another reason not to upgrade to Yosemite, the 60 comments that I just finished reading here about iTunes 12 made it a no brainer. Every release since 9 has been like someone has come into my home office, totally rearranged everything in the most unintuitive way, like putting the stapler in the back of a metal file drawer and printer inside the waste paper basket and for no apparent reason.

What happened to the beautiful simplicity that Apple was so renown? I remember how focused and serially determined Steve Jobs was to make things simple, so intuitive that my grandmother would give it a go. Some things should not be changed, like tampering with the architecture of how music inventory is organized. What a waste, creating unnessecary frustration from a loyal customer base, never mind stupid.

They got rid of the ability to hold down option and do get info with the latest update!!!! Now there seems there is no way to get the old window back! I really miss cover flow. I would at least like an option to see a large size version of a CD cover without the miniplayer functions hiding most of it. Apple is taking away from that experience. Why offer any album art views at all if they are going to be even smaller than an actual CD? On a Mac, you can Command-Click on the album cover at the top of the iTunes window to open a large version of the album cover.

Is there a way to play music continuously on multiple devices when iMatch is enabled? Why are they modifying my systems — I am outraged — I have used iTunes for a long time but this is the last straw — they better fix this fast or I will join a class action law suit!!!

Some songs I have bought have been damaged the last 30 seconds is missing — it took support 45 minutes to help and then have to give a credit to download the song again — I am not going thru my entire library to find damaged stuff — stay off my system. Removing my playlist — for what ever reason is totally crazy what where they thinking. Ever notice the interface sucks — really how hard is it to put back the button on the slider so you can repeat things or go back 30 seconds. One thing for sure: Select your iPod icon from the row of choices. In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Music.

At the far right of the grey bar that the Music header is in, click the Add To… button I had to wait a minute and a half for it to process. Your mileage may vary. He is not good at SW actually thats being kind — he is terrible, has no eye for style or color but he is brilliant at HW. There used to be a tick box next to every songs and you can untick box for selected songs so that when I create a smart playlist, I would be able to select use only ticked songs. The tick boxes seem to have disappeared. My problem with iTunes 12 is that it continues to have the spinning disk problems when resizing a window or scrolling.

But there must be a way around having to wait for the disk to stop spinning in order to play the song. I agree it is a complete disaster. I m furious with apple for allowing so a stupid move with iTunes. Main reason I have an iPhone because it used to be simple to use. Everything made sense not like other programs.

Now I really hated this freaking iTunes I have spent so much money buying music from IT so I can relax listening to it. I hope they reconsider allowing people to go back to the previous version or they are going to start losing a lot of customer starting with me and my family, we have iphones and feel the same way. All I want to do is change Filename to Track name. I have a collection of Lectures.

I want to use their filenames instead of tracknames. Anyone has any suggestions? Everytime I try to edit anything righ click, edit info , the entire album list disappears. If I click on the item it appears, but list just becomes invisible. Is there a setting to change this?

Every time Apple updates iTunes, I have to figure how to use it over and again. I just wish they would stop fiddling with the interface once and for all. I hate this new ITunes. I hit the play arrow and nothing happens!! Has anyone else lost music with iTunes My library went from 25, song to about The were from iTunes store. Bonus - Kids React to asdfmovie.
