How do I sort the album order in my music window in itunes 11.

I am wondering how I can sort the album order in my main music section.  I have had to collect up tracks spread across several 'albums' into the 1 album they were.  The name is the same.  Now this album, 'The War of the Worlds', has 2 CDs.  One is now where it should be, the other is near the end of my albums.  How can i sort the order?
TIA
Chris

See Grouping tracks into albums. A big split in the postition can be caused by different Album Artist or Sort Album Artist, or one disc might be marked as a compilation while the other isn't.

  • How do I get the Air to add my music library to iTunes?

    I successfully used migration assistant to transfer all my music from a Windows PC to my new Mac Air.  How do I get the Air to add my music library to iTunes?

    thanks for the hint Chris.  I took your meaning of the word "respind" as restarting my Air after the migration.
    Actually, it was "respond" (to this post).
    If you are not sure of anything below, post back before deleting anything.
    You can simply copy the items tin the migrated user to your current user account.
    Drag the Music folder, Pictures folder and Documents folder to /Users/Shared.
    Then log out of this user and log into your regular user account.
    Open 2 finder windows. On teh Finder icon in the dock, right click - New Finder window
    Open one to Users/Shared & the other to your user.
    On Shared, open Music and drag the contents to your user Music folder.
    Do the same for Pictures and Documents (into the same folders).
    After it finishes copying, open iTunes and everything should be there.
    You can then delete /Users/Shared/Music/ folder.
    Do the same for Pictures & Documents.
    After everything is copied and you are sure it's in your current user folder, go to System prefs > Users & Accounts and you can delete the new user that you did Migration Assistant with.

  • How do I get the album artwork for digital booklets purchased from itunes?

    I have all these digital booklets but when I look at the album artwork viewer I don't see any artwork for for digital booklets. What kind of artwork is there supposed to be there and how do I get it?

    CDs don't contain artwork, Both iTunes and WMP download the artwork from online sources, in the case of iTunes it comes from the iTunes Store (if the album is available in the store). If the artwork isn't available in the store you can add a suitable artwork image manually. You'll get information on both methods at this link: iTunes for Windows - Adding artwork to songs and other items
    If you can't find the album covers you want from iTunes you can get them from various other sources. I find this site is a good source of artwork: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio.
    Another place for finding suitable artwork is to go to Amazon. You can also locate artwork using Google image search and put the artist or album name. Locate the album from any of those sources, right click on the image and save it to the desktop, once it's there drag it to the iTunes artwork pane. Once you've added the artwork you can either delete the original file or keep it in a folder somewhere in case you need to use it again. Alternatively there are programs like these that help locate artwork: iTunes Art Importer or MP3 Tag
    If you have a scanner you can create your own artwork files by scanning the CD cover itself, this is particularly useful when you are dealing with rare recordings.

  • Why doesn't the album information for my music match my iTunes library when it is synced with my iPhone?

    In my iTunes library, I have grouped together several different singles into an album together.  Everything works just as expected within iTunes, the singles are grouped together as an album, are shown as an album when I search for the ablum, etc.  However, when I sync my iPhone and the music is transfered, the album that I just made is not shown, instead, the individual songs are transfered to my phone with their original album information (e.g. "- Single") instead of the album name that I have them under in my iTunes library.  To complicate the issue further, I have several albums like this and some are transfered to my iPhone just as they are shown in my library while the others are broken and shown under their original album information.  Any suggestions?  I'm running the latest versions of both iTunes and iOS.

  • How do I change the album order to "oldest-first" in my iPhone music player?

    Ok, so up until my last update to iOS 7.1 when I opened an artist in my music player it would list their albums from the oldest to the newest, but since I updated to the new version, albums of any particular artist are listed from newest-to-oldest. I know how to change this order with podcasts, that's easy enough, but how to I change back to "Oldest first" for the music player? Please tell me this is possible, I much prefer to listen to bands' music in order.

    Unless you opt to create a playlist and manually order the tracks, you can't.

    How do you arrange the albums in chronological order in iPhoto ? Madde 47

    What do you mean your own albums that are in alphabetically order?
    How did you do that?
    I didn't try to make that happen, but no matter how I re-arranged albums using MartyLightroom's suggestion (below now), all of the iPhoto synchronized albums appear only in alphabetical order.

  • How to add media in the album order?

    I spent some time to organize the media in Organizer album, but when I open the album to add my media, it appears to be mixed. Is there the way to keep it in the album order?

    Seems like this question was posted some time ago, and no one ever replied. So my reply is probably of little use, but I'll post it anyway. When you are viewing the Album components in the PSE Organizer, I assume you are viewing them in the sequence you want to load them on the PRE timeline.
    If that is the case, by selecting all of the clips/images, and the clicking on Edit > Video Editor at the bottom of the window should open the clips/images in the same order they appear in the Album.

  • How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3?  i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow.  i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

    how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3?  i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow.  i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow.  i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random.  thanks.

    If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
    retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
    shuffe the list properly
    create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
    Here  is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
    on removeItem(ims, i)
      -- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
              if ims is {} then return {}
              if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
              if i < 2 then return rest of ims
              if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
              if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
              return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
    end removeItem
    on shuffle_items(ims)
      -- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
              local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
              set numitems to length of ims
              if length of ims < 2 then return ims
              set ims_shuffled to {}
              set nextrest to ims
              repeat until nextrest is {}
                        set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                        set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                        set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                        set numitems to numitems - 1
                        set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
              end repeat
              return ims_shuffled
    end shuffle_items
    on shuffleIms()
      -- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
      -- and display them in random order in full screen mode
              local imageSel, shuffled, i
              tell application "Aperture"
      activate
                        set imageSel to (get selection)
                        set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                        set fullscreen to true
                        if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                        repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                                  reveal {item i of shuffled}
      delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                        end repeat
                        set fullscreen to false
                        return shuffled
              end tell
    end shuffleIms
    shuffleIms()
    Some more code snippets to go from here:
    To create an album:
                        tell library 1
                                  if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
      make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                                  end if
                        end tell
    And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                        repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                                  duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                        end repeat

  • How do I organize the albums/songs in my iTunes?

    I just decided to put a bunch of songs onto my iTunes so I could then sync those songs with my iPad 3 (and my new iPhone that's coming in the mail tomorrow ). Anyways, the way they organize my songs in iTunes is all messed up. If a song has more than one artist, it treats that song like a completely different album rather than including it all together under one album and under the main artist.
    Is there a way I can edit the song/album details so I can organize my iTunes library in a way that will move the songs under the appropriate album, rather than treating them like a completely separate album? I already tried letting iTunes keep my media folder organized, and that just made it worse. I want to have control over the way the albums/artists/songs are organized.
    So in short, how do I edit the album/artist/song details so I can make sure that the albums sync properly and it doesn't show 1 album as 5 separate albums? I'd also like to know how to make it so I get all the album artwork (other than relying on iTunes to do this) so I can have a nice neat looking music library on my iPad 3.
    Thank you for reading, and thank you for helping me out.

    A couple of tips for keeping albums intact:
    Make sure the ALBUM ARTIST is the same for all tracks? Artist can be different as long as the album artist is set the same
    Make sure the album Name is identical for each track
    Check the song sequence and that each track is marked track # of total number of tracks
    Make sure none of the tracks have "part of compilation" checked, unless it actually IS a compilation, and then all should have it checked (HINT: a greatest hits album is NOT a compilation.
    This should all be done iniTunes on your computer prior to synching.
    On the iPad, in the music app, tap the "more" button at the bottom of the screen and turn "sort by artist" ON.

  • How do I change the chapter order in itunes 11.0.4?

    How do I change the chapter order in itunes 11.0.4? The book chapters used to look like the playlists in music. You could ;change how it was sorted by the name time, artist etc. Now there isn't a catagory label and the background is the same color as the background of the book photo.

    Someone else in the forum told me how to do this.  If you have Onyx on your system then select Parameters, iTunes and turn off high contrast mode.  If you don't have Onyx, I'd suggest getting it.  It is freeware and used to help maintain your system.  Good luck

    Copy the words to the Mac's clipboard (Edit menu> Copy)
    Paste into TextEdit 
    Next open the Edit > Find > Find window in Text Edit.
    Highlight a space between two words and Edit menu > copy, paste into the Find field
    Next create a return in the middle of your text and copy that and paste into the Replace field
    Click Replace All.
    Now Edit > Select All and Edit > Copy
    Open a Spreadsheet program with Sort ability and paste into the second column cell from the top
    place a "a" into the top column cell, select the entire colum
    Sort desending order
    Now if you need it out of spreadsheet format, then your going to need to copy just the data cells (not the entire column to avoid problems) and Paste "Special" as unformatted text into a word processing program
    If you need to get rid of the Returns, do the opposite you did in Text Edit, replace the Returns with Spaces
    A chore, but it's rare one needs to sort words into alaphabetical order.
    FYI, I used TextEdit and the free LibreOffice (Spreadsheet and Word Processing) for the above effects.
