Apple broke iTunes as audiobook platform

I have been using iTunes to rip audio books on CD and listening on my ipod/iphone on the first day it was available. This has totally changed the way I look at both in the car or doing my errands around town. Now with the latest version of iTunes 12.4.0.119, simplicity and reliability went out the window. I don't know why they changed the interface, but I am sure that this was not due to listening to the customer.

In previous versions, rip you the CD (it thinks it's music), find the files, info, get the tab options, change the type of media to Audiobook, and you were good to go. I kept my books in a Playlist folder. Embedded in it was a record of the author; inside that was the folder title; and inside a smart playlist based on the title and the number of pieces (0). Easy Peazy. All the news folder/playlist were available at the bottom of the library panel in a simple pop-up.

Now, you might be able to find your files; EEG info is unchanged. But now the maid goes out the window. As in the rest of the OS, I used to be able to select a folder as destination and add everything I wanted. Now he puts things everywhere where he wants. The drop went in the library panel, but I finally found high in the file menu under 'new '. Not a bad idea, but again, not the way we have done it for years. That will not prevent me to use the tool, but it makes of course less enjoyable.

  • Apple ID iTunes account

    I bought a MacBook Pro last month and Setup everything under a new Apple ID I created.  I didn't on my existing iTunes account, which I've had for years using iTunes on a Windows PC and the synchronization of an iPod.  My iTunes account is a different e-mail address identifier Apple for my MacBook.  I know that you cannot change the e-mail account on iTunes.  When I tried to connect to Apple (https://appleid.apple.com/?localang=en_US) with my iTunes email address and the password, he acknowledges.

    An identifier Apple is different than an iTunes account?

    What should I do to activate iTunes running with all my music purchased on the MacBook?

    An identifier Apple and iTunes account are actually the same thing, just different ways to refer to an account - you should be able to log on to the account on http://appleid.apple.comand your Mac in iTunes, iBooks and Mac App Store

    What should I do to activate iTunes running with all my music purchased on the MacBook?

    All the content that you have purchased on your old account will always be linked to this account, the account that you need to allow your Mac to play/sync iTunes content - account > permissions > dropdown menu option allow this computer to the latest version of iTunes, Store > authorize this computer on older iTunes.

    I know that you cannot change the e-mail account on iTunes.

    You can, by logging into the account on http://appleid.apple.com (you cannot change the e-mail address that is already used as an id on an account): change your Apple - Apple Support ID

    After changing (you would prefer disconnect everywhere you use the account before the update and return with the updated version later): what to do when you have changed your Apple ID email address or password - Apple support

  • What happens to my music files and libraries as soon as apple Unassigns itunes?

    What happens to my music files and libraries as soon as apple Unassigns itunes?

    What makes you think that apple will stop downgrade iTunes? They make him billions.

    Even if they did whatever it is already downloaded would continue to work and all etc CDs you imported will also continue to work.

    The most likely scenario is that you have an older version of Windows (or Mac OS X), that cannot run the latest version of iTunes. If this is used, you'd still be able to run the old version already installed iTunes and still access your existing files. This applies to Windows XP for example.

  • Audit of Apple tv / itunes sign-in?

    Thus, this problem appeared since last week and is seriously testing my 15 years Apple-love story...

    I can't connect to iTunes on the Apple TV (2nd generation).

    I sign in (on TV) using my ID Apple + password.

    So we get to the verification stage, where I was sent a request on my phone to allow a device to access iTunes, and a verification code is sent through. It is NEVER accepted by the TV... It simply goes back to the id + password page... an infinite loop.

    I restarted. Changed my Apple iD password. Connected to other devices. But can not log on the tv... and therefore can not access my purchased movies. It seems that this review of 2 floors is the origin of the problem.

    Any ideas? Please?  This tent seriously my patience!

    Hello. It is a long-standing problem which you have just met. You may be able to add the code to your password. If this does not work, you need to sign in to your Apple ID in a browser and disable two-stage when you complete the connection. Depending on whether you use validation in 2 steps (4 digits) or 2-factor authentication (6 digits), you can find help here the frequently asked questions about check in two steps for Apple ID - Apple Support or here two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support. Both methods appear to be similar, but are implemented differently, adding to the complication.

  • How to sync music from apple with itunes of the laptop.

    I am trying to sync my music apple with my itunes on my laptop lenovo but whn I connet my ipod, I am only able to synchronize my photos... I can't even open Itunes on my laptop and I don't know why.

    Apple music must be transferred directly from the server of Apple's music to the equipment on which it should be used.

  • Question about the music library to iCloud (music Apple) and iTunes on mac

    Download I m just of my iTunes in the music library of iCloud library. Since I was afraid that my library of 40000 + titles could get corrupted or metadata could be changed by apple, I downloaded the files from a 'second' machine (macbook) - just to be on the safe side and keep my iTunes library local main on my iMac intact by iCloud (for the moment).

    Now everything seems fine with iCloud music library, but after all the titles/songs are in iCloud now, what happens if I disable the library iCloud music on the 'second' machine and Activate the library iCloud music on my main machine (iMac), which has the same local as my second machine iTunes library? (= the same local iTunes library, which has been already downloaded?)

    ICloud/iTunes will recognize that all songs/files are already uploaded to the music library iCloud and doe 'nothing', or download will process all over again and will lead to 'double' all the files/songs in iCloud?

    The same question arises if we restore iTunes library local on a mac from a backup + switches on iCloud music library a second time... will be iTunes + icloud music library download all the files again or not?

    Unless something is wrong, it should recognize and not duplicate.

  • Apple TV, itunes movies and no broadband internet

    Hello everyone - I am building a new home.  We are talking about in the country.  I don't have high speed internet to others.  That said, I've been living with Apple TV only, for a few years and have a ton of movies. I wish I could continue to watch these movies.

    Since my hard drive on my mac do a not enough space for all the 100 + movies I own, I have no option?

    I've sifted through messages previous mobile iTunes on an external hard drive, in what concerns but they are 5 years old and more.  Maybe I'm not looking the correct keywords.

    We need more help, you can provide.

    You must move the iTunes library in full to a large external drive. This will not affect its functionality, and you will always be able to home sharing iTunes.

    To move your iTunes library, the simplest method is to move the entire iTunes folder to the new drive. Then hold down the Option key when you start iTunes and iTunes directly to the library in the new location.

  • Complete list films of kind on Apple TV, iTunes Store

    Hello

    Anyone know if there is a way to see the full list of films of a certain kind on Apple TV? I mean, the list of movies that you can buy on the iTunes Store.

    If I just pick any kind with iTunes on my Mac, for example 'comedy', I can only extend one of the lists (within the Bank of Italy, it is a list that I can translate as 'Browse more', but I think in the store we can you expand the list of recent downloads). But I don't see a way to do it on Apple TV.

    Is it really not possible on Apple TV?

    Thanks in advance.

    Wwhat generation of Apple TV do you have?

    For Apple TV 4, select movies then managed, just above the screen. Other generations of the Apple TV have similar steps to access.
