You can also remove album ratings by right-clicking an album in Albums, Artists, Composers, or Genres view (but not Playlist or Songs view), and choosing Album Rating > None. (When you hover the cursor, you see little dots click and you see stars.) To remove this album rating, click just to the left of the leftmost star this resets it to unrated. I’ve done so by hovering my cursor over the section where those stars are and clicking the rightmost fifth star. The black stars for the first album indicate that I’ve rated that album manually. However, I use album ratings and song ratings independently, to determine which albums sync to my iPod, and want to decide an album ranking myself. All of my old album ratings work and appear in black, but all of the new ones are in grey and are automatically determined by my ratings of the songs on the albums. Q: I cannot assign ratings to the “album rating” column in iTunes 12. I often get this sort of question people don’t realize exactly what iCloud storage is for, and end up paying for additional storage thinking, sometimes, that it actually expands the storage on their device (virtually, of course), allowing them to put more content, such as music or videos, on their iPhone or iPad and retrieve it, when they want, from the cloud.Īpple really needs to make all this clearer. Where music is counted in the number of tracks-regardless of their length-photos are counted by size, so there’s no way of knowing how many photos you can store in the cloud. You can use this storage for files from different apps that can use iCloud, for iOS device backups, and for your photos. Apple gives you 5GB iCloud storage for free, but this has nothing to do with music.
