Ever since the update iTunes won't accept my password to download apps. Just keeps popping back up the login screen. So I close iTunes, open it back up and then it logs in just fine. Then have to go through it all over again a few hours later. 
Got a tip for us?

Apple Updates iTunes to Version 11.0.3 With New MiniPlayer and Improvements

Would buy that
Drifting a bit off topic; just want to say that I would pay for an app that did all of that. And pay a bit more if it would also dynamically adjust my star ratings based on a tunable tiered system of play:skip count ratios. I want the most enjoyable tracks to naturally bubble up and the weak tracks to eventually stop appearing.
Still no adequate replacement for iTunes DJ?
I have a 10.000-line AppleScript that turns iTunes DJ into an ultra-smart Radio station which learns my listening habits, automatically downloads legal free music from various places on the net, inserts songs from my back catalogue based on last.fm recommendations, plays news every hour and spices things up with podcasts, TTS weather announcements and the like. It can't run without iTunes DJ, so I won't upgrade to a version without it.
(I'll eventually re-write the whole thing to become independent of iTunes DJ, because then I could take advantage of Spotify, as well, which would be extremely cool. Once that's done, I can upgrade.)

You can do that now. When you have the album artwork displayed in Songs view, right click one of the album covers and click "Sort Album by Artist/Year".

Same here. And it's annoying because I need the previous/next function often (App Store) and the history is always deleted when I have to start iTunes new.
Apple should fix that soon. Feels like Windows.

Really great.
Where can I get it.
I am still on iTunes 10.7, too. Sometimes I get the feeling that Apple is removing stuff just to bring it back as a paid service.
Everything Apple does, they do with intend. I never understand why they removed Front Row except selling more Apple TVs.
Yes, this worked: one album now. Many Thanks.
Just struggling with Wham!. This album is still in two part: Wham! 1986 and George Michael 1986. This data is not in the info tabs, hardcode? Changing any data is right but back by iTunes or the music file itself.

It's kind of a bummer that in order for multiple disc albums to display as one, the Album title must have any "(Disc #)" suffix removed from the album title. Doing so makes it impossible to distinguish between discs when using an iPod Classic, or third-party car audio iPod interfaces. I've got classical and jazz collections with up to 16 Discs in them and while it would certainly be nice to have them unified for viewing on iTunes, I'm not doing so at the expense of my on-the-go experience.
iTunes 10.7 uses 1% of my CPU when playing, so I really don't think version 11 is justified right now in the light of so many (bad) changes.
- Multi-Disc Albums. Albums with multiple discs now appear as a single album.
Nope, still split in multiple albums
I had to go in and 'un-segregate the albums manually. They stay together and are listed in the manner you would expect. I didn't realize it was a feature, and had already been doing that after I saw one 2-fer that apparently automatically combined itself somehow...
iTunes scares me sometime with the stuff it busies itself with when I'm not paying attention.
EDIT: But someone has probably already said this. I started at the first post... Ehh...

Oooo... I didn't think of that... Bugger... Add a feature, and make it meaningless somehow... Anyone confirmed this? Well, I mean that an iPod will play the tracks in order (or not), first track,first disc, through last disc, last track.
Here's a bug that is just absolutely weird, and I would really like to see the code that causes it. Or maybe not, the code might be too awful. It's not a big problem, just weird.
Select "Music" in "Library". Select "Albums". Select "Show Status Bar". Click on the first album. This will show the new (in 11.0) album / title display. On the bottom of the window, you see (in my case) "19 items, 1.3 hours, 168.1 MB".
Type arrow right (displays 2nd album), arrow right (displays 3rd album), arrow left, arrow left. Do this _slowly_. The status bar changes to "1 of xxx albums, 1:18:30 total time, 168.1 MB".
Type arrow right (displays 2nd album), arrow right (displays 3rd album), arrow left, arrow left. This time do it _quickly_. The status bar changes back to "19 items, 1.3 hours, 168.1 MB".
This is absolutely reproducible. If you use the left / right arrows twice or more often, then the display depends on how fast you pressed the arrows. Just weird, and the kind of problem that makes me very, very worried about the general code quality.

I just happened to think, this thread that I started was with the new version of iTunes... Weird...
A little OCD is good, but for some reason a little more OCD causes Sammy Hagar to go nuts...
I burned a Playlist from my other Mac, which has a nearly identical iTunes music mix, and realized that the Sammy Hagar tracks were screwed up the same way, BUT for some reason, this database didn't freakout when I made the changes detailed in my post noted just above. Odd...
Do y'all rebuild your iTunes databases at all, ever? Curious...

No plugins that I haven't had for years. Matter or fact, I only have one on Firefox that blocks pop-ups. That's it.
It's shut down 2 more times since I posted this. Was not even on the computer when it shut down.
Not really. Only once. That was 8 years ago, in June of 2005 when I had to create a fresh iTunes 4 Music Library because of some weirdness with the displayed columns (don't remember the specifics anymore). Since then, I've been running off the same database.
Save place in Albums?
Reading this made me think of something I wish I could do but either don't know how or iTunes just won't do it. I'd like to be able to close iTunes and when I reopen it, it is sitting at the same place in my albums.
Everytime I open iTunes, I'm back at A.C. Jobin and have to drag back through all the same albums as I browse for what I want to hear. It would be nice if it worked like my old vinyls where I can easily start back where I left off as I go through my music.
Is that possible and I just haven't figured it out?

iTunes orphans
An easy way of verifying that songs on your itunes playlists are actually on your hard drive would be great.
I know there is a workaround involving making playlists etc, but it is just that a workaround.
On my DJ software it checks my library of 50,000 plus songs in a few seconds with one button, and then deletes the orphaned playlist entries.

Haven't noticed any improvements:
- Search is still terrible - probably the worst it's ever been
- Selecting an artist link does absolutely nothing
- iTunes Store still very slow and laggy
- Forward and Back buttons don't work properly
- Wish list doesn't work properly - Keep getting emails about artists I haven't selected and nothing about artists I have selected
- Same bugs still there after many years
- The list goes on and on

Maybe a permissions issue or something messed up with those files? I've had a few files with that issue. If you can't fix permissions, you could try reripping if you have the disks or batch converting the new files. Not that you'd want to do that if you could help it, but if nothing else works it's something to try.
Have you tried toggling "search entire library" (under the magnifying glass)? Before I did that I hated the new searching but changing that setting got it back to how it had always been.
Home Sharing bug
Something is very wrong with Home Sharing now! When I select "items not in my library" iTunes shows me a few random tracks (and tons of movies!!) which definitely ARE present in both my Mac Mini Home Server and my MacPro library. This bug works both ways and a friend of mine who has the same setup gets the same weird results. Fix please!!
