Iphone not sorting music correctly.

  I can find the song title by searching songs and it has the right artist, but cant find under artist.  It is also merging albums with same name too. "Greatest Hits"  When I look at the playlist in itunes on my Mac it all looks right and sorts by the artist correctly.  Any help?

I'm also having this issue - I'm getting about 27GB of garbage data put into the iPhone's 'other' category
iPhone 5 64GB
iTunes 11.4
MBP 10.8.5
iTunes is set to 'convert larger songs to 128k AAC', and it's trying to sync a 9,500 song library which is a mixture of aiff, wav, mp3, m4p and a couple of m4v.
Previously these all fit on my iPhone a treat. Left iTunes last night after already having transferred around 7000 of them - iTunes informed me i'd have nearly 10GB space remaining. Came back this morning and iTunes shows my phone is now 15GB over capacity. It shows all the library has synced though - no greyed out songs.
When I go to the phone, that says it has 7GB space remaining and only 1700 songs synced. in the music app itself, there's very few songs in there. Looking in Settings>General>Usage, there's no visibility of where that 27GB is being used up. Music category is only 11GB (which should be more like 38GB).
Please help I've wiped and resynced my phone 3 times now, it's driving me mental: I just want to listen to music. I've never had this issue with Android's drag n drop.

    Hi,
    The Creative ZEN organizes songs according to the ID3tag of the music file, not by folders. If you want to arrange the music files in the order you want, please check and make sure that the music files are tagged properly. You may need a third-party tag editor to do this.

  • HT1347 I have an mp3 DVD with episodes of Gunsmoke.  iTunes imports them, but does not sort them correctly by date or episode.  One file name is GS 52-04-26 001 Billy the Kid.mp3

    I have an mp3 DVD with episodes of Gunsmoke.  iTunes imports them, but does not sort them correctly by date or episode.  One file name is GS 52-04-26 001 Billy the Kid.mp3.  iTunes sorts them by month/day/year.  How can I fix that?

    The weird thing is, it worked before. I encoded all the videos previously and had them all listed and didn't encounter this problem, but I noticed I'd forgotten to decomb/detelecine the videos so I deleted everything and re-encoded it all. AFter filling the tags out and setting poster frames again I was thinking of making life easier by just pasting the same artwork for every episode, so I did, but didn't like the results so I deleted it again (I selected every video, used Get Info and pasted the artwork that way).
    I think it was after this that the problem started to occur. In any case I've been through every episode and made sure the name, series, episode and episode id fields are all filled in with incremental values and they are. I even made sure the Sort Name field was filled in on every video. But this didn't work either.
    So, thinking another restart was needed I deleted every video again. Re-encoded them all, again. Set the tags for every video and poster frame again. Finished it all off nicely, checked cover flow and was highly annoyed to find it was STILL showing the same two pieces of art work for every video as shown in that image I posted.
    Ultimately, I wouldn't care so much that cover flow is screwing up like this as I always intended to sort by program anyway so it would only ever display one piece of artwork for an entire series of videos, however where-as when it was working it picked the artwork for the first episode of a series to display, its instead picking one of the latter episodes. I can't seem to find any way of choosing what artwork I want displayed.

  • IPhone is not cataloguing music correctly under Artists

    I'm using an iPhone 4 connecting to a new Mac running Lion. My iTunes on my computer catalogues my music correctly by artist, but when I sync to my phone, some (but NOT all) of my music doesn't show up under the "Artists" section in the "Music" app on my phone. The music IS THERE--If I go to to the "Albums" section or the "Songs" section it shows up by album/song but the artist is not listed underneath it.
    Here's an example:
    I have many concerts/"albums" of the Grateful Dead that I've downloaded for free over many years. Some of these DO show up in the Artists as follows:
    Grateful Dead>Fillmore West>2-11-1970
    But others will NOT show up under the Artists section. They only show up in Albums.
    So in other words, I can't find these concerts/albums if I try to search by Artist because THEY AREN'T LISTED, even though they are in the phone!
    The other thing I've noticed is that if I look in Albums, these particular ones will show up as follows:
    Boston Garden 9-25-1991
    but the words "Grateful Dead" don't appear below the name of the concert/album as they should.
    The ones that show up correctly under Artists have the words "Grateful Dead" under them when I view them in Albums. So there is something about the coding that is incorrect which prevents these particular albums to have the words Grateful Dead, and therefore they aren't listed when I look in Artists.
    I have tried in iTunes to group by compiliation, create gapless albums, etc. and even retyped the name and artist name of each of the ones I'm having trouble with. But nothing seems to work. The Apple Store suggested I wipe out my phone and reinstall from my back up but that seems a bit extreme.
    I CAN search my music via the Albums section and just bypass the whole "Artists" section altogether but I feel like there should be a solution to this. I know this is a very particular, detailed problem but would appreciate any help you can offer!
    Thank you!

  • Mail sent on iphone not sorted by date.

    My icloud mailfolder for sent emails, on my iphone, does not sort my mails in chronological order. The first mail is from 2010 and only later does 2014 appear. In my inbox the mails do sort correctly. Also the sent mails sort correctly in mail.app on my Macbook, and when logged in to icloud mail with a web-browser. Does anybody know what caused it, and how to fix it?

    I'm having the same issue.  I can't figure out how it is sorted.  There seems to be no way to tell it how it should be sorted.
    Sorry, this isn't helpful.

  • IPad 1 upgraded to iOS5 suddenly not playing music correctly

    Hey all - I'm noticing (all of a sudden) that my iPad's Music app is not playing my music correctly. An example: in shuffle mode, if I manually advance to the next track, the app tells me it's playing, but the counter is not advancing, and there is no sound coming out of the headphones. All subsequent advances get the same result - I doubt my entire music library is corrupted, especially since if I exit out, and then manually select the track that wasn't playing in shuffle mode, it plays!
    If I quit the app and restart, then let the app shuffle without manually advancing, it starts fine, but approximately 2-3 songs in, it lists one track as playing, while it is playing something else entirely.
    If I pick individual songs from the song list (not in shuffle mode at all), some play, some don't. I get the same thing - the app says it's playing, but it's not.
    Any advice? Hard reset maybe?

    Who do you think you're addressing here? Apple won't read this.
    I have an Android Phone that has given me no amount of grief at all in the 2 years I have owned it.
    I guess miracles DO happen !!
    If you are not going to make your next tablet an iPad, I would strongly advise that you not get an Android device, but pursue another option such as Windows mobile.

  • ITunes 9.1 not sorting artists correctly

    Just upgraded iTunes on Win7 PC to 9.1 and seem to have a problem with sorting on the Artist.
    I have a large (2800 CDs + various downloads) collection, with a lot of jazz - so quite a lot of music where the artist name is not a band name but a person's name. I always edit the Artist name so that it's Last name, First. The Album Artist that was added a while back was a nice help in this issue, but it seems to be causing problems with 9.1 I noticed after the upgrade that iTunes went through my library - and afterward, I suddenly had 150+ artists more than I did before. Charles, Ray had become 1) Charles, Ray 2) Ray Charles 3) Charles, Ray. (Yes, TWO entries with Charles, Ray.) Many other artists have similar issues and it seems to be taking the Album Artist and making duplicate entries for songs/records. When I removed the AA from the above, it collapsed back into 1 artist.
    Additionally though, I have noticed that there is even more than that wrong. For example, I have many John Coltrane records. All 66 of them are now showing up in the sorting order as "Coltrane, John" - but in the letter "A" next to Alice Coltrane. Similarly for a couple of Stevie Wonder songs - they now show properly as "Wonder, Stevie" in the list, but they're sorted in "S" as if it's "Stevie Wonder".
    This is really maddening. It looks to me like Apple messed up something here, and it's playing total havoc with the organization of my collection.

    Update - it looks like after quitting and restarting iTunes, the problem of not sorting alphabetically (Wonder, Stevie in S) is gone.
    However, it does appear to be sorting on Album Artist as primary key, instead of just Artist, and so far I can't find a way to change that.

  • IPhone 4s sorting music by Album Artist? Applies to Compilations?

    I was scrolling through my iPhone looking for a song, I saw an artist listed as "Hit Singles (1980-1990)". Clicking on it netted me a song by Genesis from their album of the same name. Which made me curious, so I scrolled again and found another "artist" that was, in fact, the name of the album in question.  A Jackson 5 track that I've not been able to find on my iPhone is listed in iTunes as by the Jackson 5 with the Album Artist of "Various Artists"
    So I'm mucking about in iTunes and finding that this applies to a lot of compilations and trying to correct some of this nets me an artists listing that seems to willfully skip over the artists on those compilations.  As in (and this is a crappy example):
    Beach Boys
    Beastie Boys
    Various Artists [being a Beastie Boys song on a soundtrack]
    Beatles.
    And choosing Various Artists gets me a list of all the compilations on my iPhone, which is... awkward at best, frustrating at worst.  I've never had this problem on any other iPod.  What's going on and how can I fix this apart from trying to correct a metric ton of incomplete data acquired over the past several years?

    Hello,
    As far as I can see, you can't sort the order of music on the iPod Touch. It is always sorted alphabetically.
    Maybe you can suggest that as a feature to Apple.

  • Iphone not syncing music from itunes. all other devices are, it's just one iphone on my account

    I'm having an issue syncing one iphone with my itunes account. I have several other iphones and an ipod that will sync just fine. I am running Windows 8. There was a glitch earlier when the new ios came out that was resolved and everything was working fine... now this one phone is not syncing. The music is showing up but when you hit play it just skips through.

  • ITunes not organizing music correctly

    I was importing a CD to iTunes, and it seems that the music is not grouped together by album. However, the choice "albums" is chosen in my iTunes menu. Below is a picture of what I exactly mean, with the album Sweeney Todd.
    The several Sweeney Todd's are supposed to be in the same album, but it seems like there's something wrong. This has also occurred with another album as well. What should I do to organize this correctly?
    Thanks!
    As a note, my iTunes has the newest update.

    Fill in the Album Artist (Sweeney Todd) for all those songs.

  • IPhone not loading music

    When I grab a song in iTunes and mouse it over my phone, it does not highlight the phone icon, nor when I release the song, it does not load onto the phone. What am I doing wrong?

    You cannot drag and drop on the iPhone like with the iPod, it does not support that
    The only way to add music is by syncing

  • ITunes Match and Playlists on iPhone - not syncing in correct order

    Is anyone having problems with iTunes Match and playlists on their iPhone?  I normally have my playlists sorted by date, however, on my iPhone it is showing up in random order and not exactly like the playlist I have created on my computer. I wasn't sure if I need to change any settings or anything or if this was a glitch.

    Please Please PLEASE DON'T reset your iPhone if you get this issue
    As has been mentioned before try this first - connect your iPhone:
    1) Right click the iPhone icon in the Device list on the left-hand side of your iTunes window
    2) Click on the Reset Warnings entry
    3) Click on your iPhone icon in the devices list and look at the main window, then select the Applications tab
    4) Make sure you tick the Sync Applications box and select All Applications
    5) Press Apply in the lower right hand corner of iTunes
    6) Press the Sync button in the same position
    You should get a warning that there are apps on your iPhone that should be backed up into iTunes. Select OK and your iPhone apps should be backed up with the rest of the Sync.
    MAKE SURE NOT TO CHECK DON'T SHOW WARNING AGAIN!!!
    I bet this is usually why people run into this problem, as we assume that it will do it automatically but it doesn't.

  • Iphone not syncing music with old email address

    When I try to sync my iphone OR if I click on a song within itunes to play through the computer, a sign in box pops up saying that this computer is not authouized to play this song would you like to authourze it. The problem is that the email address in the pop up box is an OLD email, that really and truly is not connected with iTunes any longer - and I don't have access to that one any more. I have gone to preferences and checked and the new email is there and so I authorized the computer with that one (for the 10th time) and it says that it was sucessful, BUT when I try to play that song OR sync the iphone again - I get the same pop up box asking for the computer to be authorized again....WITH THE OLD EMAIL ADDRESS. How can I get it authorized to play ALL my music with the new email address (which works for a lot of the music - but not all)?

    Have you tried to deauthorize your computer (via the Store menu), then re-authorize it?
    Can you still login to other Apple services, such as the support website, using your Apple ID?

  • IPhone not syncing music

    Music is not going onto my iPhone - when I connect it to the computer, the screen remains at "Syncing [my name]'s iPhone" - for over an hour, when I left it there for the longest. Apps that I have downloaded sucessfully go on, when I cancel the sync. *Can anyone offer any suggestions as to why the music is not going on?*

    Is this the first sync? If so, it can take longer than an hour for it to go through the entire back-up and sync process, depending on the amount of music/movies etc you are putting on it.
    If its not the first sync, try doing a factory restore and then setting up and syncing from scratch again.
