Wierd Album Ordering With The New Artwork

With the Artwork view (the middle one of the three)...
When im playing music on shuffle, when the song skips to a particular song, it moves that song up to the top of the list of the songs for that album. So instead of having the tracks sorted by Album and then Track number, one of them is out of order.
For example, if shuffle skips to track 5 in "Album X"...
the view would look like this:
Track 5 of Album X
Track 1 of Album X
Track 2 of Album X
etc etc...
The only way to get them back in order is to change something in their info pages so they get refreshed.
Then when a song in that album comes up again they are all out of order again.
This happens in all (as far as i can tell so far) albums meaning every time a song plays another album gets out of order.
Any ideas how to stop this?
Thanks,
Peter

After experimenting, this seems to only happen if you leave the new Album Artist column blank.
If you fill this in then it seems to be ok.

  • Over the years I have backed up my ifoto albums on discs. Now with the new ifoto in 10.7.5 I can't see the fotos from five year old discs--only a dotted line outline of the fotos, all black and white; no images. What gives? and how can I view them?

    Over the years I have backed up my ifoto albums on discs. Now with the new ifoto I cannot see any fotos when I insert the 'old' discs, just dotted lines around where the foto should be. How can I view the fotos? They were backed up for security, but now they are so secure I can't view them! Help!

    If you're running iPhoto 9.5 you'll need to follow these directions in order to view disk created by previous versions of iPhoto: 
    1 - Copy the library from the disk to the Desktop.
    2 - Double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader tool to launch it  and select the library on the desktop to convert.
    3 - Once that is done you can open it with iPhoto 9.5.

  • In order to take advantage of the iPhone trade in, do I need to have met my upgrade eldigbility date, or do I just need to re-sign up for a new 2 year plan with the new iPhone 6?

    In order to take advantage of the iPhone trade in, do I need to have met my upgrade eldigbility date, or do I just need to re-sign up for a new 2 year plan with the new iPhone 6?

    thanks, a HUGE suggestion for you:  Please add that to the restrictions of the trade-in details online, it mentions that nowhere and is VERY deceptive.  Since at least 90% of 5c and 5s users are under a 2 year contract and both phones have been out just a year, there will be a majority of bitter customers who fell for the ad and will be taking advantage of the buy out options the other carriers are offering.

    You are in the typical catch22.. you cannot use the TC without setting it up.. you cannot set it up without Lion.. so you can install the latest utility.
    Do you have any reasonably current iOS devices.. they can run the iOS version of the utility.. that will allow you to set up the TC.
    Or invite a friend with a laptop running at least Lion
    Or take the TC back and get a plain USB hard drive and backup to that.

    If you have iOS 5.0 or later, do not update through iTunes if possible; update over Wi-Fi if you have it. Just go to Settings > General > Software Update.

  • How can i sync my iphone with itnes on a new pc.  when i tried to sync it said it will erase the contents on my iphone to sync with the new pc which has no contents

    my old pc was running low in memory and i don't have enough space to back up in order to instal iOS5.  so i got a new pc, installed itunes on it but when i tried to sync my iphone on the new pc, it said it'll erase all contents on my iphone and sync with the new pc which has no contents. it says iphone can only sync with one machine. 
    can you pls help

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • HT1386 I have a new computer and when I tried to sync my iPod Touch with the new iTunes, it has lost all of my music and videos from my iPod/old iTunes library: including all but 4 songs of my bought songs, videos and audeobooks!

    I have recently updated my computer since my old one broke and therefore had to download a new iTunes. When I came to add my iPod to this new iTunes, I was given no option to transfer the contents of my iPod library to this new iTunes and was forced to try 'sync'; when my old computer was repaired once we lost all of our data so I had to download a new iTunes then,all of my iPod downloads were transferred and I could easily reburn my CDs so I didn't think the wiping of my iPod would be a problem. When I clicked 'sync' it warned me that it would replace the contents of my iPod with the new iTunes library, as I said I didn't think this would be a problembut then it asked if it should transfer my recent iTunes downloads so I said 'yes'. The sync was completed but now I only have 4 downloaded songs and 5 albums which I burned to my new iTunes! I have lost all the music I bought, all the videos I bought and all the audiobooks I bought! (Luckily I still have my apps.) I tried to restore backup but realised that only covers calendars, contacts E.T.C and I checked my iTunes account and that shows all my downloads but I can't see a way to restore them or anything like that!
    Please help! I am in despair as you can imagine how much moneys worth I have lost and am losing faith in Apple

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • I just decommissioned my windows pc for a mac power book.  How can I get my ipad to sync with the new computer without erasing all the apps and data on the ipad?

    I just decomissioned my windows pc in favor of a new (to me) MacBook Pro.  When I attempt to sync my iPad I get a warning that I will erase all content on the ipad in order to sync with the new computer.  How do avoid erasing all the data on the iPad, and get the iPad and the new Mac/iTunes to be friends?

    Best option is to use Windows Migration Assistant as Ralph noted.
    Here's a better (updated) link to Windows Migration Assistant for Lion -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
    Or if you only want iTunes (Migration Assistant let's you choose) copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from your PC to /Music/ on the Mac.
    FYI: A MacBook is not a PowerBook. PowerBooks were discontinued in 2005.

  • Can't figure out how to remove select music from my iPhone 4 with the new iTunes

    My old PC with all my music on iTunes died, and I need to remove some music from my iPhone 4 to make room for the new OS update. I downloaded iTunes on a different computer and tried to sync the iPhone to it, to move all the music on my iPhone to iTunes so I could deselect what songs I wanted to remove to make the storage space. I can't figure out how to do this with the new (non-user-friendly) iTunes update. When I sync the phone, the only songs that show up are the ones I have purchased on iTunes, but non of the songs/albums that I transfered from CDs. I don't want to reset my phone to delete ALL my music, just select songs/albums. Can anyone please help me figure out the new iTunes to be able to do this? It is driving me nuts and I'm getting really mad at Apple for their constant updates making things less easy to use!

    i have the same problem, if u find it out please let me know :C i can erase or put new songs from my pc to itunes u.u

  • Will I be able to extend a dual band network from a Time Capsule 2nd generation with the new Airport Express on both bands?

    My Time Capsule 2nd generation is the main accesspoint in my house. It resides on the second floor in our living room. On the first floor in our kitchen I have an fairly new Airport Express that extends my network on the 5 GHz band and allows me to stream music via Airplay. I had to choose 5 GHz since the 2,4 GHz band is interfered when using the microwave oven. However, we have a rather old house with loads of metal in the concrete walls and therefore the 2,4 GHz signal from the second floor proivded by the Time Capsule is hardly available on the first floor. Since all our iDevices (iPhones and iPods) operate at the 2,4 GHz band we sometimes don't have a proper wi-fi connection. I had tried before with another (older) Airport Express that only operated at the 2,4 Ghz band, but I could get a proper connection between the Time Capsule and the Airport Express. Therefore I think it would be the best solution if the new Airport Express would provide both bands simultaneously.
    If I replace my existing Airport Express with the new one, will I be able to extend my network on both bands?

    It sounds like you may have configured your Time Capsule to use a separate name for the 5 GHz network and then setup the Express to extend that specific band.
    In order to extend both bands, the Time Capsule setup will need to be changed so that both bands are using the same name. In other words, you would uncheck the option for the 5 Ghz name.
    Then, setup the new Express to extend the Time Capsule network.
    This is the only way that they Express can extend both bands. It cannot extend both bands if you have assigned a separate name to the 5 GHz network since you will be forced to choose either the 5 GHz band or the 2.4 GHz band for the Express to extend.
    How the microwave oven will affect this is not known. This will one of those things that you have to try in your home to know if it will work well, so it might be a good idea to understand the store's return policy before you buy....in case things do not work out as hoped.

  • Need some Help with the new Genius Mixes on iTunes 9

    I would like to know how to use the New Genius Mixes on iTunes 9. I don't quit know how to use it yet and like all of us we're all just learning how to use the Genius Mixes. I did watch the KeyNote but they didn't go into great detail on how to use it. Does Apple have a web site that has more detail instruction on how to use the genius Mixes? I did find some info. on how to use the Genius mixes but it didn't go into great detail on how or what to do with the genius Mixex and thats what I need.
    when I click on the genius Mixes icon under the "Genius", what shows up is a Big square with four album images of my music that I have in my music collection, I go and roll my mouse over the Big square with my four music albums and click on it to play the music and it'll play what ever I have in the Genius Mix list plus as I roll my mouse over the Big Square, under it it says "Jazz Mix" with some text writings under the Jazz mix.
    I want to change the Jazz mix Title and I want to know how to add more music square boxes to my Genius Mixes just like they show in the Keynote and I would like to edit and create my own four square music boxes in my Genius Mixes.
    I never used my music genius list, I always created just a play List, now I am just learning how to use this music Genius lists and I don't know how to use it at all and I need someone that knows how to use thr Genius Mixes list to help me how to use it since there isn't a how to book yet for the new iTunes 9.
    Can someone Please help me with the new genius Mixes on iTunes.
    Thank you,

    Today, I was getting an array out of bounds exception on a split
    I don't see how that could happen with the 'split' method since it creates its own array.
    For this particular string, ordSplit.length = 24 and commas = 26.
    PERFECT! That is exactly what it should be!
    Look closely at the end of the sample string you posted and you will see that it has trailing empty strings at the end: '1096200000000242505,,,'
    Then if you read the Javadocs for the 'split' method you will find that those will NOT be included in the resulting array:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)
    split
    public String[] split(String regex)
    Splits this string around matches of the given regular expression.  This method works as if by invoking the two-argument split method with the given expression and a limit argument of zero. Trailing empty strings are therefore not included in the resulting array.
    Just a hunch but your 'out of bounds exception' is likely due to your code assuming that there will be 26 entries in the array and there are really only 24.

  • How do I get music onto my ipod with the new itunes?

    I have a new ipod, and the new itunes. I cant find any itunes version information, but it downloaded on the 27/9/13
    The old itunes showed your library and ipod icons on the left, and I could simply drag music onto the ipod icon.
    With the new itunes, there is no ipod icon to drag music too.  I certainly dont want to put all my music onto ipod, or have it pick songs randomly.  I have way too much music for itunes, I basically drag some albums to itunes, copy them to the ipod, then delete them from itunes.  I have to do this for 2 reasons, one is that my music is spread over various places, and usually when you plug in an external drive it gives it a different letter, so you "lose" music, and secondly because much of my music doesnt have correct tags because I ripped it from my CDs before there was internet databases (yes I’m old).
    Any ideas how I get an album from a HD onto my ipod?
    Does anyone else find itunes inexplicably unintuitive?

    Hi hobbss,
    It sounds like you may want to show the sidebar in iTunes.  You can access it again by following this:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
    Also, here is an article with information on how to sync media to your iPod:

    Are you asking from a technical or legal standpoint?
    If technical, do you see anything in the installation instructions that mention entering license information? What happens if you try to go ahead and install? What could be the worst that could happen?
