ITunes store songs out of album order

I have a problem with two albums I've bought throught iTunes - the songs are out of order (as they should be on the album). On one album, one of the songs was part of a celebrity playlist when I bought it, and on the other, one of the songs was a single of the week.
Now, those two songs won't be put in the right order with the rest of the album - they both appear as the first song of the album. I've tried changing all of the album and song info under "Get Info" - they're named right, they have the right album liste, and have the right track number - but they still appear as the first track of the ablum in my library and on my iPod.
Other than making a playlist for the album and manually arrangin the tracks, how can I fix this in my library?

I have ensured that all the details of each song in the album match up completely, i.e. the same year, artist, composer etc.
So when you checked the "details" with the Get Info window for the song, did you look in the Info tab to verify that the +Track Number+, 1 of 11, 2 of 11, etc... was entered correctly for each song in the album set?

  • Songs out of Album Order on iPod

    All my songs appear in the correct album order in iTunes. But for a few albums they are all jumbled up on my iPod Touch. So for example, one particular album will have all the tracks appearing in ascending order from 1 to 10 in iTunes. However, on the iPod, they appear as 1, 3, 5, 2, 7, 9, 4, 6, 8, 10. I have ensured that all the details of each song in the album match up completely, i.e. the same year, artist, composer etc., but re-syncing the iPod makes no difference. Any ideas as to how this can be remedied?

  • The iTunes Store loaded a U2 album on my iPhone I did not order

    The iTunes Store loaded a U2 album on my iPhone I did not order.  Did someone hack my account?  I don't see any charges for these on my credit card.  How do I delete these?  They use up too much memory on my iPhone.  How do I prevent this from happening again?

    How does it show in the Music app on your phone ? If it has the cloud icon against it then it is only in the cloud - you can turn off all cloud music via Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Music (under 'show all' heading) 'off, or you can hide that album via your computer's iTunes so that it doesn't show in the cloud (hiding and unhiding), or you can use the link in my above reply to remove it from your account.
    If you've downloaded it onto your phone (i.e. it doesn't have the cloud icon against it) then swipe/drag across tracks (from right-to-left if the phone is on iOS 7 or 8) in the Music app, or you can delete entire albums in iOS 8 by swiping/dragging from right-to-left across them

  • WHen I put music onto my devices I will have some songs that will play, while others will be grey and can not be played....also I find that when I purchase an album from iTunes all songs from the album will not be downloaded...

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • ITunes Store Song Display List-Change Back?

    Is there a way to change the way iTunes Store songs are displayed in ver 9.x like they were in the older version of iTunes?
    The songs are now displayed in a very small viewing window and the colums can't be adjusted to view the song data...everything is truncated.
    Also, you used to be able to right-click on a song and "Get Info" about the album, song, etc.
    Not a big fan of this new interface...it's very limited.

    I might have a solution. I suspect Apple will delete this post if they check however. Actually I will put in a post separately, and keep this as I have a few items/problems to add:
    1. I buy a lot of classical music. It no longer lists the composer, or allows me to choose what information is displayed in the headers (much less, as we know being able to size it to see all text). This makes iTunes virtually worthless to me.
    2. I only upgraded after receiving a gift album, and though it said I needed version 6 or higher, and I had version 7.6, it forced me to go to the latest version (the hated 9, as far as I can tell from forums). Then it did not allow me to retrieve the gift because I am studying in the UK and it was purchased in the USA. (Note that before upgrading I could use and buy on any site USA or UK.)
    So, useless information on tracks and inability to gift etc internationally, makes version 9 a big stinker for me.
    I am going to try to revert to an older version. Detail to come.

  • In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play start to finish.

    In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play entirely from start to finish.

    My Itunes previews have been playing fully now for the past few days. After trying every suggestion possible to fix the problem of 5-10 second previews, I took the advice on one feed to use OpenDNS for your network internet connection. There are internet sites that will instruct you how to do it. Just Google "opendns for (your operating system)". I have Windows XP and followed a video instruction at www.top-windows-tutorals.com/using-opendns.html. Afterward, close your browser and then flush the DNS Resolver cache; Start/Run, type CMD in the open field, click OK, in resulting window type ipconfig/flushdns, press return on keyboard. No guarantees, but my browser is faster and my Itunes previews are playing fully so far. But I still shudder every time I hit the preview button.

    what do i do when a audio book i purchased is not in purchased menu for re downloading for my account, or why cant i re download the book from iTunes store with out paying for it after support they told me i could.

I don't have any warranty any more or money to purchase another warranty.

    Thank you for your prompt reply.  I have bought 1 MacbookPor 17, 1 Macbook air, 1 MacbookPro 15 , 2 ipads, 3 iphones, and this iMac27 and 2 of iMAC24 or 20 not sure   but I do not recall ever doing what you are telling me in your reply.   When you get a extended car warranty, you don't   sign up for it.. it is just there and is included in the sale.   You don't buy this warranty to use it.. You buy it, in case something happens.   Here a perfect iMAC with minimum 100 hour useage has a dead drive.  That is not normal and I should not have to even be requesting anything since most MFG offer a 3-5 year warranty on their disc drives and I believe that is probably passed on to Apple regardless if an extended warranty is purchased or not.   Customer service dictates a more flexible approach to make sure the lifetime value of a customer is not lost due to some misunderstanding.
    I was in the MacStore that I purchased the unit..and they found and pulled the invoice and confirmed
    the purchase of it in front of me.  I had paid with credit card and fortunately it was there in their system.   I do not also recall recieving any box or paper although most everything I ever get remains sealed.. I am not in the habit of opening anything since I have never encountered any serious issues before.
       I have used my Macbookpro warranty 1 time  and that is all throughout the years I have been investing in Apple equipment.
    I just recieved a letter from the store asking me to get the paper to them so they can register it... I don't recall getting any paper actually.  But I do have several boxes sealed here..  On this iMAC27, it was a hurry up and get it done thing and I don't remember taking anything extra with it.   Regardless,  my request does not seem unreasonable.
    Thank you

  • Certain songs are being reordered in my albums on my iPod Classic when I synch to iTunes.  They appear correct in iTunes, but out of order on the iPod.  I want to be able to put the songs back in album order. Anyone see this?

    This bug also seems to affect songs I have played recently.  This is for albums, not self-made playlists.

    Hi Thunderflare99,
    Are the affected albums consisting of more than one artist per album (eg. a compilation)?
    If so then go into iTunes with your iPod plugged in, click on the iPod tab, select the songs in that album, right click, click on 'Get info' and then click on the 'Options' tab. Then, tick the box saying 'Part of a compilation'.
    Good Luck,
    Stefan

  • Issue: songs appear out of "album order" on iPad

    I am using current version of iTunes on IOS7.03 on my iPad 2.  iTunes library (v11.1.3) is on Mac w/OS 10.9.
    All is fine on the Mac; issue on this iPad.
    Songs within each album are no longer in "album order" (1,2,3,4 etc)
    HOW do I correct this?

    It sounds like you might have the "Shuffle" option sellected. Go to the CONTROL menu and go to SHUFFLE. If it is on, turn off Shuffle. Read about "Shuffle" under the help menu.

  • How do I fix problems with iTunes Store timing out when I search for music?

    So, I downloaded iOS 7 not too long ago. However, when I tried to do a search on the iTunes Store app, it keeps timing out (it also stalls when I attempt view a song list on a specific album. My phone has no cosmetic or liquid damage, and. I have already performed a soft reset on the phone. Does anybody have a solution, or is this just a bug in the new software that needs to be fixed?

    Also having problems connecting to the App Store without it timing out.

    You have 15 minutes from originally posting to edit a post - you will get an Edit button at the bottom right of a post. I've asked the hosts to remove it as it's not outside of the limit.
    Do you get any music showing under the Purchased link for downloading ? If you do, but not that album, then is it hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

  • ITunes plays songs in the wrong order

    For the past few weeks iTunes has insisted on jumping all over the place when playing songs. It plays randomly, but only from the same artist. If I'm playing an album, it doesn't go automatically from track 1 to 2, but seems to select the next track completely randomly.
    I've tried sorting the songs by artist, track number, album etc. but the problem persists. Yesterday I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, but that didn't help either.
    Thanks in advance for advice and help!

    I use iTunes and built in look up as well and it sort my library in album order. However this is assuming you sort the library by artist (click on the artist heading to sort by artist). And then within artist is will sort by album name alphabetically and within each album by album order.
    Just checked and if I sort my library by album, albums get listed in alphabetical order but again, within the album it is in album order.
    Grace Notes (CDDB) should fill in the track number and total number of tracks for you automatically.
    So back to your last question, I am not sure what you mean exactly. Are we talking about sorting the library as a whole or do you mean specifically within Playlists?

  • ITunes stores songs at various places

    I use iTunes 7.3 for Windows. When I buy songs from iTunes store, most of them will be stored correctly to my partition D: and into the correct path. But from time to time some of the songs are stored on partition C:. For example, I owned an album with 10 songs. Downloading 10 songs, 7 songs are placed correct at D: and 3 songs are placed on C:. Why is this?

    A suggestion: May anti sypware tools or virus scanners, always active as backgroud processes, block files or directories and confuse iTunes?
    I found this entry in the advanced preferences tab: "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library". May this can help to avoid spreading the music files all over the PC while downloading.
    Yesterday iTunes deleted two files of 15 from an new purchased album. These two files were stored for no reason in a directory named "downloads" within the iTunes music dir. I closed iTunes, then started it again. It needs approx. a minute to start, heavy HD activity and then this two files are lost, nowhere to find.
