Apple doesn't even think it's weird that it requires a media player to manage a phone. There should be separate applications for media management and basic phone management (updates, contacts, calendars, full backups, etc).
Apple doesn't even think it's weird that it requires a media player to manage a phone. There should be separate applications for media management and basic phone management (updates, contacts, calendars, full backups, etc).It is a change. It used to be a one or the other thing. Now it appears that if you were to connect your phone, you could do a full backup without having to jump through hoops.
The easier they can make syncing the better. The next change they need to do is let my device sync content from anything with my name on it, any way I choose.
Maybe I want to wirelessly sync this week, but plug in next week. Maybe I am out and about and want to add a song from iTunes Match. Maybe I am on the road and want to use my laptop to sync. Let me do these things Apple. I don't know if you have some sort of weird interpretation of a licensing agreement from 10 years ago or something, but let me do it.

oh god, agreed to an update this morning after refreshing my podcast. please tell me how to make it look like it used to.
I got this now. I have wondered this for a little while:
For years i"ve collected MP3s and many lack metadata. I have always organized by folder in the windows file system, but iTunes seems to only care about their tags. Is this true, or is there any way to use itunes to see the music in a way that mirrors the file system? I can't be the only one with this issue...
EDIT: Oh heck, this works: just set itunes as default player for MP3s
You can update the tags from iTunes.Why not install Mp3Tag and update your ID3 tags based on your folder / file names?
Well, a lot of the tags in place I am ok with.Why not install Mp3Tag and update your ID3 tags based on your folder / file names?
New update 11.0.1, really speeds up the search in a large library. Like, vast improvement. It would hang up for a couple of seconds before this update, but now it's damn snappy. (433GB, 72k songs in my library... on an external USB 2.0 HDD, so yeah I expect it to be a little slow)
Genius Playlists.
"To make a Genius playlist, select a song in your library and choose Create Genius Playlist from the action menu"
Where is the action menu?
thanks in advance!
It's the (>) that shows up next to the song. That used to be a button to take you to the iTunes Store.
>) Play Next
+ Add to Up Next
Thanks Stu but this vv is all I get when I hit that button.
What the heck is going on here? I wish I had Applecare.
OS X 10.6.8
Have you clicked the 'Turn on Genius' button? That starts the process. Genius needs to run against your library to find out what you have. It does this once (and updates periodically) so when you invoke it later, it happens almost immediately.
