itunes is rubbish

Let me see...

I can either;

1. agree with you. Then you'll have a kindred spirit.
2. disagree with you. Then you'll have someone to argue with.
3. ask if you would like to state what views you would like to see, what you are trying to find, and if you would like someone to help you re-instate the views you prefer.

Which of the above options would you prefer me to go for?

I realise that three options is quite tough, so as it's Christmas, I'll give you a clue.

I'm not going for option 1.

I don't feel like argueing with you.

I'd like the old layout. 2 clicks too change window? Series of tv program's but one artwork for 6 series ? It's rubbish haven't found anyone who likes it. It's rubbish

A well thought out argument.

1) Ctrl B and View > ShowSidebar will give the lookand feel of itunes 10

2) For a TV program of multiple series yes it only shows the first season picture is it a glitch or feature.I don't know but it sures as heck does not stop me from watching the TV Series

Was there anything else?

Have you turned off Search Entire Library?

Click on the downward pointing arrow to the right of themagnifying glass and untick Search Entire Library. This should improve the performance.

The point behind the fiend's response is that none of us here work for Apple or receive anything for our voluntary efforts. We are all users like you who try to help each other out.

As my dad used to say you can always catch more flies with honey rather than vinegar.

So please try to remain courteous and polite you are mush more likely to get the help you want.

if you want to moan at apple then use the feedback

http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

As given we're fellow users on these boards. Apple don't provide direct support on here, though they probably do take a look from time to help gauge the reaction to change. If you were happy(ish) with iTunes 10.7 we can help either restore most of the look and feel of it or help you downgrade until such time as you move on. See this post for details.

Far from it.

Your further responses demonstrate quite clearly that all you want to do is moan.

And yet, this is a forum intended to help users get the best from their Apple products. Can't do that when all you do is whinge, despite me making it very clear that you should have chosen option 3 from the ones I provided.

No helping some people, is there?

Looks like a feature not a glitch. If you have episodes from more than one season the expanded view shows buttons for All Episodes, [No Season], Season 1, Season 2 etc. You can easily switch between a view showing all the episodes or just those from a given season.

So I see courteous and polite never really got started did it?

If you feel that you are getting inadequate help here I suggest you locate your nearest Apple Store and make an appointment at the genius bar.

Hi Steve, what I was trying to indicate was that the Artwork issue for TV seasons is trivial as my goal is to watch the actual TV programme. The lack of individual Season Artwork does not bother me as watching the program is way more important. Thankfully I have no issues with that at all🙂

Oh I know. I was just interested in the feature vs. glitch issue so I had a look at what was going on. Hadn't noticed the new behaviour until then. 🙂

I actually think it is an improvement, but I can see how those who have invested effort in applying the correct season art and are used to what they had might be peeved at the change. At least I won't need to help anyone else who found the old one artwork per season annoying. 😀

I guess I just don't get it. I find iTunes very limiting. I can't figure how to sort the ! column. As I have moved a lot of files they are now showing up as !. I understand that but deleting them is a process (for me).

And.. I have music on my iPad and just plugged into a PC ( I have 3 macs and 2 PC's) and for me to add music from PC A I have to lose all the contents of the iPad. As I want to keep the contents and just add more I can't figure it out. So no new music for me right now.

I used to use MediaMonkey and found it excellent. Even my 15YO daughter says she hates ITunes. Bring Back Steve.

Is it really just me?

Thanks for that info. It certainly helped me.
