How do I get my iPad 3rd Gen to sort Music album titles under an artist's name alphabetically instead of chronologically?

Hey all,
I've been trying to sort my iPad Music app. Under an Artist, albums are sorted chronologically, not alphabetically. As a result, albums without a year attached to them are shuffled to the top, and the rest are put at the end of my music library. Half of the albums under one artists do not have a year with them so my whole library is out of order. How do I get my albums to sort alphabetically by title?

The large text size makes your post almost impossible to read.
Excessive use of bold or capitals (also) makes posts difficult to read.
You can drag most of the column headings left or right, or right-click on the header to turn columns on or off.
Once you've used File > Display Duplicates or Shift > File > Display Exact Duplicates you can use File > Display All or the Display All button at the bottom of the list to restore the display.
For general advice on organising your library see this article on Grouping tracks into albums.

  • How do I get iTunes to play all the songs and albums from the same artist?

    Before the update, you used to be able to play all the songs from the same artist across all albums (ie: you have 2 albums from the same artist, you start one, it would play through both in order).  Why did this change, and is there some way to get it to work?

    Have you read the link that roaminggnome posted ? What you can redownload will depend upon what country that you are in (music, films, TV shows can't be redownloaded in all ; audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), whether the item is still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove them), and whether you've moved countries since buying/downloading them.

  • IPad (3rd Gen) From last one week it's screen jumbles up at times and also getting some burning smell out of it.

    iPad (3rd Gen) which I purchased 3 week back in Bangalore. From last one week it's screen jumbles up at times and also getting some burning smell out of it. Any idea what could be wrong?
    These are the some of instances of screen jumbling I faced
    1) all the app icons stacked up on top left corner. I could move them anywhere on the screen but could not start the app. Later killed all apps and starting iPad rectified it.
    2) starting any app was giving blank screen, restart rectified it
    3) home screen and lock screen both merged up. I could see both of them together whenever I swiped on the screen. Again restart rectified it.
    Can I get replacement of this piece, I believe there is some serious hardware issues in it.
    Rakesh

    Handed over iPad to support group named "imagine"in Bangalore Saturday evening. There is no direct support available from Apple in India. Know what.. These "imagine" guys are highly incopetent..
    When I checked the status in evening, their reply was that there is no issue with iPad, even though burning smell was still threre if I keep the nose close to iPad, but during working for 4-5 hours it starts building up.
    When I asked how did they tested it, reply was that they kept playing games on my iPad and they didn't find any issue.. Rediculous answer..
    They even didn't bother to open up the piece or running test of full CPU/RAM and Graphics utilization. Now asking me to take it back to wait for either complete breakdown or burndown, no matter where I am.. Airport, hospital, client meeting..
    I use my iPad mostly for client presentations, I don't want to be in a situation that the display again jumbles up during a demo session giving impression  that the problem is with our application..
    I wish I wouldn't have invested in this device through BYOD program..

  • HT204387 I have an iPhone 3GS and I can't get it to pair with my iPad 3rd Gen neither will discover the other any suggestions

    I have an iPhone 3GS and I can't get it to pair with my iPad 3rd Gen neither will discover the other any suggestions

    An iPad and iPhone cannot connect via Bluetooth unless you are trying to use a Personal Hotspot feature on your iPhone or have one of the few third-party apps that allow limited file transfer or device-to-device gaming. Unless you're attempting one of these, then any previous "pairing" was probably illusory. If you are trying to use such a thing, tell us which one and someone may be able to provide suggestions.

  • How do i delete photos on ipad (3rd gen) and keep on pc

    How do i delete photos from my ipad (3rd gen) but keep safely on my pc and how can i be sure all photo's / videos taken on my ipad are stored in iCloud??

    don butler,
    Sync them off maybe a little confusing because there is no menu selection or button that says, "Sync Off Photos"
    When you synced with iTunes you went to the photos tab and selected albums to copy to your iPad.
    To remove whole albums, start iTunes on the computer, connect and select your iPad and go to the photos tab.
    Then DESELECT the albums you no longer want on the iPad.
    Clicking on Apply or Sync will then remove the unwanted albums.
    To remove only certain photos that are inside albums is a little different.
    Before using iTunes on your computer find the folder or album that has the photos you want to remove. Then move those photos to some other location on you computer or, if you want, delete them entirely.
    Finally start iTunes on the computer, connect and select your iPad and go to the photos tab. Make sure all of the albums you want on the iPad are still selected. This includes the albums that you just edited by moving or deleting photos. The click on Sync or Apply.
    The sync process wil examine each album, compare it to what is on your iPad and make the necessary changes. If you added photos to the folders on your computer they will be added to your iPad. Conversely, if you deleted photos from folders on your computer they will be removed on your iPad.
    Hope this helps.

  • I keep getting the iCloud sign in pop up even after I put in my password. I tried turning off iCloud and it won't let me. I have the IPad 3rd gen. Can anyone help?? I did change my password and it's still happening!. Thanks :)

  • Ipad (3rd gen) wont sync

    Hello,
    Well, i just bought an Ipad 3rd gen (my first Apple product) and i'm trying to sync it with itunes (USB).
    I have Windows 7 64 bits with the lastest Itunes available. When i plug the Ipad, it shows correctly in Itunes.
    However, when i'm trying to sync pictures or music, Itunes says everything is ok but there's nothing on my Ipad afterall.
    When i'm trying to sync apps downloaded with Itunes, it says that this app cannot be synchronized
    Tried USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ... same problem
    Does anybody knows anything about issues with USB ? (maybe somekind of controlers are not well supported)
    FYI :
    Ipad 3rd gen
    OS : Windows 7 64bits
    Mobo : Gigabyte X58 UD7 (ICH10R)
    Lastest drivers available
    Lastest Itunes available
    USB cable provided with Ipad
    Thansk in advance

    Might want to try and restore the device and see what happens. Also are you connected to iCloud which backs up all your files? If so might want to try and toggle with that. As for the music n stuff, is iTunes actually showing anything being synced on the top bar (Where is shows the syncing status of your device)?. If nothing seems to be done, or the process is completed very quickly, you might not have selected anything in the toption of iTunes.
    Not sure how much i helped, but hope you can get it up and running!

  • Charging iPad One vs iPad 3rd gen via USB...

    just got an iPad 3rd gen.  As I've read here, apparently, the PC's USB port doesn't supply enough power to make the 3rd gen battery charging icon say "charging".  Instead, it reads "not charging".  However, it initially DOES say 'charging', before changing to 'not charging' a couple of minutes later.
    Question:  my iPad 1st gen ALWAYS charges via PC USB port.  Why?  Both AC chargers are 10 watts I believe, so why would the 1st gen charge while the third gen doesn't?  Does the 3rd gen require more charging watts than the 1st gen unit does?

    Using the 10W charger, an iPad 1 will charge in about 3-4 hours, however, the iPad 3 requires about double the time. How long does it take to charge your iPad 1 using the PC's USB port?
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Music missing artwork after syncing with iPad 3rd Gen

    All the music on my MBP has artwork with them. Whenever I copy music from my MBP to my iPad 3, only 10% of the artwork shows up on my iPad. Anyone ideas why this is happening or how to correct it? Kinda ugly looking at music and only a handful of songs have artwork for them. I spent A LOT of time getting all the artwork for them so it's kinda annoying this is happening. I've done the "Get Album Artwork" bit already on my iPad however that doesn't work at all. Any ideas.

    AHA! Solution!
    At the bottom of the Music screen in the ipad (3rd gen) there are a set of buttons named store, playlists, songs, artists, albums, and more. Press the more button, then select shared, then select your computer in shared (I am sure home sharing must be on). All of the album art showed up immediately.
    Oops, No solution... only the homesharing screen, albums in ipad not affected.

  • "Refurbished" iPad 3rd gen for $379?!

    Look at the refurbished section guys. Really? I am sorry but after what they have pulled with 4th gen, I bet those aren't even refurbished products, just the piles of iPads 3rd gen they are trying to get rid off. They have lost my trust, interest, and I hope they will be able to somehow get it back, beacuse I really thought of them as a great company. Past tense.
    I wonder how long till someone comes up with class action lawsuit for too quick lost of value of the product or any other issues people see with the swipe of those devices. Any guesses anyone???
    Also, isn't it interesting how "rumors" of products and "accidental" news, photos of products get leaked months before they come out to pick up your interest to have you maybe holding up on the device to come, yet this is one thing that never had such spill? Am I alone on this, that it is all artificial and great marketing scheme??
    so disappointed.

    In a few countries Apple does work with a company who will give you some return on an existing device; for the US, see:
    http://www.apple.com/recycling/gift-card/
    Similar programs are available in a few other countries, and some dealers may have their own trade-in programs. But you most probably can get more for your device if you sell it yourself.

  • IPad (3rd Gen) AirPlay Problem

    I have an AppleTV and iPad (3rd Gen), but I cannot seem to get the AirPlay to work. They are both on the same network. Should I be looking at anything in particular to match up for them to connect to eachother (like the ip address being next to eachother)? Please help. I had no trouble when I had it at home and when I moved back to school I cannot get them to work together.
    Thanks,

    I have the New Ipad (3rd Gen) 32gb wifi onlymodel,, and I use it while on charge i notice that it took way longer to charge while i use... will in not damage the devoce nor the batter if i use it while on charge?

  • Can't update firmware on iPad 3rd Gen (GSM) 6.0.1

    I received an iPad 3rd gen (gsm) for my birthday from my sister in law, who works at Apple (this will come into play). The firmware is 6.0.1 and I am unable to update to the latest firmware. I have tried using iTunes and OTA and i get the generic error "Not eligible for this build." (device is not jailbroken)
    I have used four different cables and three different computers (the ota issue kind of makes this a redundant check but I tried just to be safe)
    I have deleted and redownloaded the firmware via Apple/iTunes and even finding the update and trying to manually update or restore via the ispw file.
    I have also tried the hosts file method (adding a # before the apple line and also deleting the line completely and every other combination of adding lines and such).
    I am able to restore on the device itself and that does not change my outcome when I try to update. What I think might be the issue (that I found out today) is that the iPad used to have a "Development" sticker on it. When I try to enter in the serial number into the support page it says the serial number does not exist. I have no idea where to go from here.
    Any suggestions? (unfortunately I live an hour and half from an apple store and I'd like to try and fix it myself first)

    She has no idea on what to do as she isnt a developer (I'm not going to disclose her exact position).
    I've tried to reset the content and settings and it restores it to factory default but it unfortunately still gives me the error. I'm going to try and install a beta version of ios 8 (thats still signed by apple) and see if that may work.
    I'm debating on bring it into the apple store or not as that may be my only option.
