    Fuck, the album art thing is annoying.

    Do not UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE download this update. Let me be the guinea pig here. Now I will at the very least continue updating in the hope that they'll fix this. It can't become much worse.

    Sounds risky. I don't want to lose my whole library and/or set-up. The guy says there are issues with this procedure in Windows 7, which is what I have.

    C'mon now, Thor. I can't do all your Google work FOR you!

    Another workaround would be to simply make a backup first of your entire system, so you could go back should you screw it up.

    I won't lose my actual music files by uninstalling iTunes, of course, but I could potentially lose the library file in iTunes -- and then it would be a HELL of a lot of work to get my albums back in; in the right style and order.

    I said SYSTEM backup. Not file backup.
    Although just making a reserve copy of your iTunes library files should be enough.

    Sorry, but this is getting too advanced for me. I'm rather stupid in all things computer compared to many here.

    OK, I randomly stumbled on one "solution", sort of.

    I can copy a picture online, then press ctrl-v in the SMALL window in the top left corner in the 'add album art' area. I cannot right-click the mouse and paste, however.

  14. Not sure whether this is the result of a ploy by Apple to force people to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes - or whether it is a problem with iTunes/just for me...

    Anyone know what the iTunes error 5002 is? Messageboards have a whole host of possible errors but I was wondering if anyone knew what it actually is?

    And, possibly on a related issue, after having logged out and back in again, when I click on the "iTunes Store" to take me to the store I get the information window telling me that this (i.e., the iTunes Store) us currently unavailable in the UK.

    Stand down everyone! It seems to have resolved itself on its own.

    It's the universally unhelpful 'unknown error' code.
  17. Yes, these codes seem to be completely meaningless.

  18. Minor inconvenience, but incredibly frustrating: when I delete a track from a playlist it deletes the one next to it as well! Any ideas as to what's going on? crazy

    I've gotten a promo of A.R. Rahman's MUHAMMED: MESSENGER OF GOD (well, the title is irrelevant, really), but when I import it to iTunes, track 1 and 2 are placed at the end of the album. I go in to edit the track to specify 'track 1' etc., but they still won't move to the top. What gives?
    I am extremely serious.
  20. Check and see whether those tracks aren't indexed to a disc number or something; also that the album artist is consistent for the entire album.

    Exactly the same for me and I spent ages trying to figure it out (and failed). Fortunately when transferred to the iPod it appears in the correct order. Mysterious.

    Both of those things are as they should be. Clearly, there must be something going on a micro level (data written into the track itself that is not edit-able in iTunes) or something.

    Those two tracks do actually have a different "Sort album as..." set, but changing it to be the same as everything else doesn't seem to make any difference. I don't know if that's one of the things that iTunes now irritatingly "remembers" somehow from original settings, regardless of what you change it to.

    You have to change the sorting options. Make sure the Album, Album Artist, Artists and Composer are the same as the Sort As tag. I have the same promo as you guys. It's all fine on my end.

    That did the trick, thanks! Just deleted the "mixed" boxes in the 'sort as' tag.

    So I got an album, and wanted to edit some of the information. But iTunes won't let me. Nothing happens when I press "OK" after I've edited. Is there a "lock" of some kind preventing me from doing this?

    Hi guys, need your help here. I am using itunes 10 on an old but trusty mac ppc g5 for my music hard disk (4 terra) and spotify here at the side at office. is there a way in music-albums, on the thumbnail view of whole albums, to sort (arrange) by date added or date modified or something? i can only get alphabetical sorting of albums here. thank you

    I don't think there's any way you can arrange the albums by date in 'thumbnail' view. You have to enter 'song view', and then click the 'date added' column from there. But Erik is the expert here; I have iTunes 12, so I can't doublecheck my own. In iTunes 12, there is a bar on top -- even in thumbnail view -- that says 'Recently added', and that included the recent 50-60 albums added. I don't remember if iTunes 10 had that.
    I am extremely serious.
