iTunes is broken. When will Apple fix this?

Go to iTunes Preferences/advanced and reset warnings and cache. This should fix it!

Didn't for me. And I want my old sidebar back. And Icons that are icons, not pencil drawings. And the speed....................................(snore). Can you revert?

What is with Apple?? Are you guys changing things just for the sake of changing things? I seriously don't see any improvement in the latest version of iTunes. In fact I seriously think you guys have gone all out to screw us, and make things hidden and totally illogical to use. Have you started employing microsoft engineers to do your design work??

Just a simple act of looping one song is a hard enough task.

Stupids.

No one from Apple is here. This is a user to user technical forum. If you want to tell Apple about it, do so here:

Thanks Gail, i was just venting, sorry about that.

I hear you revilo838, this seems to be standard practice for Apple now. Each 'new' iteration of a long standing app (and the OS for that matter) removes features & functionality. I don't know who is giving them advice but I can't imagine that it's coming from people who actually use the apps.
It's all about eye-candy, not functionality. Form over function.

iTunes may have been looking old but at least it was easy & intuitive to navigate. Now it is just plain confusing.

For example... I was looking for a song in the iTunes Store. The search came back with the expected results & listed them under 'Songs' and 'Albums' as you'd expect so I clicked the big header of 'Albums' nothing happened. Clicked again. Nothing happened. ***?!?! I think. Then I notice that over to the right is a tiny list that says 'Songs' and 'Albums'. I click that and it takes me to the albums.

Ummm... why not just leave the header as being a clickable link rather than moving it to a list over the other side of the screen? That is just change for changes sake.

And don't get me started on that rubbish that is the 'Get Info' window. It is shocking to use. You have no idea what can and can't be typed into until your actually try.

OMG! I just had my iPod touch crash and when I went to try to fix it and restore my songs eight hours later I was 1/2 way done!

What happened APPLE?!? When did iTunes turn into a microsoft POS!

For the next iTunes don't contract it out to a company that uses x face with a tongue sticking out XP

Select Music, then Playlists.

BTW, some of us prefer less distracting icons.

Ummm... at the the risk of sounding rude but... less distracting from what?
It's a music library & player. The icons (and sidebar) exist to aid navigation and use. If you're sitting there staring at them 'getting distracted' then you're doing it wrong...

The new format & layout makes navigation difficult and confusing and, as seems to now be the way with the direction everything is going with Apple, is linear rather than organic (ie - iOS style rather than OSX style).
Changes like this bring up the bigger issue of Apple's which seems to be to make the OS behave more like the iOS.

Sorry Apple but I don't want or need my $4000 iMac to be acting like a giant iPad!

I agree with rexrox, it's like trying to use an elfin' iPad. I don't need an eight core 2.93 acting like an iPad either. iTunes used to be a joy, now it is a selling platform for apple and **** the loyal users we just wanna sell music.

Can't you make an intuitive UI and sell music. LOOK AT THE FEEDBACK FOR PETES SAKE!!!! every thinks iTunes 12 is a POS!

As soon as steve died apple has been going down hill. They may be making money but it at the expense of actual high quality software.

OMG!! six months on and iTunes has been updated. But if it is not working for you then OMG!!!!! Tell Apple straight away!!!!! Here Feedback

They are not here in these forums to help you. 🙂

OMG!!!

Good User Interface design always puts window contents above controls. In this case, color is limited to contents and sidebar and other controls are color-less, ie, less distracting.

😁 OMG - you are a scream!!!
