the new itune 11.0.1 version missing some previous & next button when get info

Ditto here. I edit my meta data a lot for mass imports when I'm working on multiple version of video tracks I'm editing.... Seems to only be in the Movies and TV Shows views... the Previous and Next appears properly in all other views.

Selecting a bunch of tracks still works for editing ALL their details, like recording session, version of tracks, etc, but it takes longer to edit individual tracks without the longer process of:

Clicking ok.

Right-clicking the next track.

Clicking Edit.

It used to be just :

Click Next.

You've turned a one step process into a three step process.

Please, Apple. Put back the Previous and Next buttons.

If only that were true. When it comes to Music, the Previous/Next controls are missing when using the Artist View, while Album View, Genre View & Song View have the controls. It's been an issue since 11.0.0 and I've personally reported this bug via the feedback link around five times. Frustrating stuff.

Works here.

I just updated to iTunes 11.3.1 but pretty sure it was there before...

Chris, we're speaking about the Previous/Next buttons in the 'Get Info' window, not the playback controls. See the image in Anok's post above.

Likely via some missing line of code, the Get Info window of certain media views (Music/Artists, Books/Audiobooks, and seemingly Movies & TV per Don above) lost the ability to step forward or backward through items when iTunes 11 was released.

Interestingly and perhaps unfortunately, it appears as though this behaviour may persist beyond version 11, at least based on some of the version 12 screenshots:

Okay. Guess I should read a bit more of the original post...😟

However...

When I first open iTunes then get info on a song, the Next/Previous buttons are there and stay when I Next/Previous thru songs.

If I close the Get Info window, then reopen it, the buttons won't come back until I quit iTunes then reopen it.

If open the the Get Info window and don't step thru, then close the window and reopen it, the buttons stay.

One thing worth noting: while the only Music view that exhibits this problem is 'Artists', you will see Next/Previous buttons if you Get Info while "All Artists" is selected. But you'll also quickly realise that you're unable to move any further than the first album of the first artist in your library using the Next/Previous buttons…which for me is yet further evidence that this is a long-persisting bug, one that is now coming up on its second birthday!

Yes, i see this now.

I shall file an official bug report (not just feedback).

I reported this bug more than a dozen times as it was introduced with iTunes 11. Will your "official bug report" trigger an actual response?

Thanks Chris.

I presume one must have a dev account in order to do so, or is something us civilians can also do?
