7 features Apple killed off in iTunes 11 | Apple - CNET News - 1 views

itunes changes version '10 '11

  • But some of that march towards simplicity has come at the expense of some old features. Few of the deep-sixed features seem like logical deletions, and others are already bringing ire from longtime users who expected to see them on the other side of the update.
  • Apple completely nixed Cover Flow in iTunes 11 in favor of its new album view, which will expand out an album to show you the songs within when you click on it.
  • In iTunes 10.7 and earlier, Apple offered a built-in tool that would sniff out duplicates and put them on a single page. It wasn't great, but it was something, and free. In iTunes 11, the feature is missing in action.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • iTunes DJ was a neat feature that would let you put together a never-ending playlist in a pinch.
  • 4. Gapless playback editor As the name suggests, the gapless playback feature plays songs back to back, without any break -- something that's useful for tracks meant to be in immediate succession. One of the best examples: Pink Floyd's "The Wall." Curiously enough, gapless playback in iTunes 11 still works just fine. You just can't tweak any of your existing music to make use of the feature from the options editor.
  • 5. Multiple windows In an effort to simplify iTunes' user interface, Apple also stripped out one of the features power users loved: the option to break out functions into their own windows.
  • 6. The other sidebar Apple merely hid the source list sidebar, but you can still get that one back. What we're talking about is the feature that would give you genius recommendations based on any song you were currently on, often polling the iTunes Store for music you might not even have.
  • 7. Quick volume control, song progress in mini player Apple's mini player now does quite a bit more than it used to, such as providing search and displaying album art. Even so, it's missing a few handy things such as the volume knob and progress indicator that would show you how far along in a song you were

    "With iMovie 11 coming out with features like a "real" timeline the iMovie FAQ has decided it is time to COME BACK!!! Yes... I will say it again there is a "real" timeline, and audio editing is much more enhanced, plus the functionality of the keywording in iMovie outdoes even what Final Cut offers. (and you will not hear me say that often). Over the next few weeks we hope to add content as a blistering rate. Stay tuned.

    "Using a Regular Cassette Player and a Macintosh Computer If you own or have access to a Macintosh computer and a plain old cassette player, the only piece of equipment you may need is a simple audio cable. Most Macintosh computers have a 3.5mm "line-level" input, which can be used to record a cassette directly into your computer. Unfortunately, MacBook Air computers, iPhones, iPads and iPods don't have a line-level input. Line-level inputs are very uncommon on Windows-based computers as well. Many Windows PCs feature a 3.5mm "mic-level" input, but cassette players never have a mic-level output, which makes this method a little too complicated for PC owners. However, you can record cassette tapes into any of these machines with an audio interface (skip ahead to the Using an Audio Interface to Connect a Tape Player to a Computer section for instructions). "

  • iTunes is limited to authorizing only five computers with each iTunes account
  • if you have created five different user accounts on the same computer, and have authorized iTunes for each user account on that one computer with the same iTunes Account, then you have reached your maximum number of authorizations.
  • once you have iTunes configured with a single  iTunes Account, there does not appear to be a limit to the number of iPods, iPhones, and iPads one can sync to a single iTunes library.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • three layers of where the iTunes Account is configured.
  • apps that were purchased on one device are being lost, while apps purchased on a different devices are being added.
  •  transferring purchases before each sync, and disabling the automatic synchronizing of new apps on each iOS device.
  • “Automatically Sync New Apps” option in the apps tab of your iOS device info screen in iTunes applies to any app in your  iTunes library that has been added to your iTunes library since your last sync. If you are managing several iOS devices from one account, it is a good idea to disable this feature
  • you may notice some strange behavior when you sync your iOS devices: apps seem to disappear and appear at random with each sync.
  • first is the iTunes installation you use to sync your device.
  • second is the iTunes Account configured on the device itself.
  • Changing which iTunes Account is used on the device to be something other than the iTunes Account you sync with may cause problems when the sync operation transfers purchases from the device to the iTunes installation on your Mac
  • plan on using the same iTunes Account on both your computer and your device to avoid those problems.
  • You may even want to consider creating a separate playlist folder for each iOS device you sync to.
  • Another layer of iTunes media management has to do with remote playback of your iTunes library, which is accessible on multiple devices via Home Sharing.
