iTunes 12.2.1.16 / OS 10.10.4 I've been reworking a lot of iTunes databases and here's a couple of things that Apple seems to have changed--unless of course there's an option-click in the vicinity that I don't see! ;-) I note that now when I create a smart playlist, that it comes up in some kind of default format where I can no longer add or remove columns. Under View > View Options... is now greyed out. I use to simply press CMD-J and pick what I wanted to see or remove. No more. That makes the display of a smart playlist dramatically less useful. Also, in the one place where CMD-J is still available, the main music window, I can remove the iCloud column by going to View > View Options > Show Columns and then toggle iCloud Download off, where it will stay until I quit the program. The next time I run the program--it's back again! Are these now "like-it-or-lump-it" features in iTunes?

Okay, after futzing with this all day, and posting here I *immediately* found a way to do this. With "Songs" as the display format, I note that at the top middle I have "My Music" and "Playlists". The distinction between the two of these is that the playlists appear in a sidebar only in the latter--and additionally there's no column adds/drops available. If "My Music", and no playlist display, well THEN and only then, I can change my columns. What the hell is that all about. Everytime I go from one playlist to another I have to change to "My Music" (it's ALL my music!), and then I can manipulate it. There's a couple of unnecessary mouse strokes! > Also, in the one place where CMD-J is still available, the main music > window, I can remove the iCloud column by going to View > View Options > Show Columns and then toggle iCloud Download off, where it will stay > until I quit the program.

There's a > couple of unnecessary mouse strokes! Wrong again: If you select under "Playlists" you will look at the columns Apple by god wants you to look at which will include iCloud Downloads even if you don't. If you select a Playlist that you want, and then select "My Music" you can have some control over it. Sheesh! Lame!

I have that version of iTunes and I can add and remove columns as needed while looking at a playlist.

I just moved from a 27" iMac to a MacBook Pro. "Not much space" has changed for me. I sure wish they'd leave iTunes alone rather than making it the rosetta stone for they whole Apple kingdom.

Dude: I don't know is happening on your machine, but it isn't a deliberate thing by Apple. It works just fine on my machine.

On my machine, removing the column works fine - until you restart iTunes. Then the column re-appears on its own. It's a bug. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

I'm not the one who doesn't want the column, since I use iTunes Match and don't mind having it there. I'm just commenting that removing this column doesn't work correctly. ; ) -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google.

I'm just commenting that removing this > column doesn't work correctly. ; ) No, that was me. I did move it to the right eventually but curiously, while dinking and doinking through a boatlod of preferences, I find that it's not there any more anyway. It only repeatedly comes back if you have some Apple Store or icloud tunes related options toggled on--or so it would seem. I use iTunes to do research in antique musics and so I have gotten into the habit of using its displays of information in certain ways. Though burying some options in a menu seems stupid, but it might make it easier for the hotkey-aversive. But making it non-operational within certain playlists, I can't imagine the thinking; I think it's a bug. I'm sure the "so do it differently" solution to fumble with the mouse for 3+ clicks probably has it's ardent supporters. I've managed to figure out where a number of the things once logically available have been buried or contorted for some kinda "real good reason". So I'm about where I once was with the program. The iTunes designers seem to be enjoying turning music-playing software into an Apple shopping bag, but I've already got a shopping bag.
