Quick fixes for missing iTunes options
Wondering how to turn off the “arrows” and “Genre” listings in iTunes 8? Annoyed that Apple has taken the options away? Never fear, a quick cut ‘n’ paste in the Terminal app is all you need.
When Apple released iTunes 8, they included new features like Grid View and Genius, but left out a couple of options as well. Namely, the ability to disable links to the iTunes Music Store, and to turn off the “Genre” category when sorting music in Browser Mode. The former looks like the invisible hand of capitalism at work, but the latter is just silly.
Fortunately, you can alter those settings, you just need to use the Terminal to do it. Even if you’ve never used the Terminal before, the clever folks at Mac OS X Hints have easy-to-follow instructions, including cut ‘n’ paste text. If you want to turn off the arrows, look here, and if you hate the Genre setting, look no further.
Instructions are also included for restoring the features. Enjoy!
