Aha! The difference is that I store my iTunes Media folder on a server, so the files can't be moved to the trash, they must be deleted immediately. iTunes detects that and changes the button name.When...

Videos: what is it that iTunes does that Quick Time Player or VLC can't do?

It was a music video, but anyway...(shrug)...I buy few music videos, but when I do, I leave them in iTunes. (Other content too, for that matter.) Not sure how that relates to my Q, though. ;-) As I...

Thanks for the rundown! After seeing that disappearing menu button trick, I'm going to add a new step to my family-phone-support routine: step 1, put iTunes into full screen mode!

A quibble: In previous versions, whenever I clicked back to the MUSIC directory after going into a playlist (or Podcasts or whatever), I was returned to where I had left off – let's say the Artists...

I think Miguel's complaints are related to iTunes Match iCloud. iTunes Match will replace matched MP3s with AACs. Files streamed from iCloud can't be dragged to the desktop but instead of clicking the...

I'm using iTunes 10.7 to access classical music stations via "Radio" in the Library. Does 11 still have access to these radio stations?

The shortcut is not "Cmd+M," it's just "M." As is true of some (but not all) buttons in OS X modal dialogs, pressing the first letter of the button's name activates that button.What I always do in...

Well, you're absolutely right, Curtis, thanks a lot!“What I always do in Podcasts still works; Cmd+delete to remove selected podcasts. If it's an episode that has not been downloaded, it's simply gone,...

Yup, in our initial article, Agen notes that Radio appears as one of the center buttons in Music view.http://tidbits.com/article/13419

You're right - and to make this more than just about a specific iTunes problem, that's the sort of lack of attention to interface detail that adds up over time.As a workaround, start playing a song...

iTunes will prompt for login password every time you open it if you or an application (e.g. Cookie) deletes Apple's cookies. It took me several weeks to figure out and get it fixed by making changes to...

Oh, that makes sense, given that the iTunes Store is basically a Web site, from the point of view of iTunes. So I'm not surprised it's setting cookies.

Lost functionality or am I daft?Can we no longer display a playlist in Shuffle order?Also, we used to be able to GoTo the song currently playing by clicking the curved-arrow icon beside the song name...

I think Apple would say that the Up Next feature takes over from displaying playslists in shuffle order, unless there is something I'm missing.And yes, that little curved arrow icon is gone, but the...

Thanks Adam, would you mind checking this on your installation - maybe I have a configuration problem. If I am playing a song from a playlist, and then view a different playlist, Cmd-L takes me back to...

Curious - I'm not seeing that. Cmd-L always shows me the currently playing song, regardless of where I've moved or scrolled to.

Actually, it might make a difference, since iTunes is integrated into the operating system, and it's entirely likely that Apple tested less in 10.6.8 compared to Lion and Mountain Lion.Not to excuse...

I'll bet playlist functionality is available for books largely because of audiobooks; it doesn't make much sense for other types of books.

I'm not sure what a shuffled playlist is; but when I make a playlist, I expect the songs to play in the order listed. NOT in 11. This Up Next thing is ridiculous. When I clear because it's playing...

If a playlist isn't playing in the order displayed, it's because Shuffle is enabled. When you're looking at a playlist, the name of the list is displayed in large text at the top. If you click the...
