Album order on ipod differs--why?

I have my photos organized nice on iPhoto, in albums by year and month, but the order is shuffled on the iPod. Why? Any solutions? Replies would be greatly appreciated.

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?

    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:

  • 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?

  • My playlists wont play in order on ipod playlist. why?

    My playlists wont play on my touch in the same order as they show on the touch playlist scheme.Why? & ive gone onto ituned & clicked on orderofplay!

    With iTunes 8.x you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
    Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook. Although I still mark the files as Audiobooks to keep them out of my main music section when it comes to the iPod I ignore its Audiobooks options and use my own playlists for access.

  • IPhoto albums appear differently ordered on iPod Touch

    Hi,
    Imac 2010 with 10.7 and latetst update
    iPhoto '11 with latetst update
    iTunes with latets update
    iPod Touch 4g
    iOs 5.01
    In iPhoto there are different albums with a certain, manual, ordering.
    When syncing these complete albums with iTunes to the iPod the same, manual, ordering was used.
    Recently (I believe since OSX 10.7) the ordering seems to be random on the iPod, after syncing. No changes are made on the albums on the iMac.
    Ordering the albums on the iPod and then syncing with iPhoto has no effect on the iMac and after the sync the albums are reshuffled again on the iPod.
    This is about Albums, not the orde rof individual photo's (EXIF and other stuff).
    Anybody else with this issue?
    Any solutions?
    Regards,
    Armand

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    The link you provide is not my issue:
    - the link is about photo's. I specifically mention Albums
    - the link (and the cahnge) is from august 2010. My album sync problem is from late 2011.
    Any other clues?

  • How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album togeth

    How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod?  If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

    I used to have this problem.
    First, you need to go back on iTunes
    you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
    Click the album so all the songs drop down
    Right click the songs that have this problem
    Click ' Get info '
    Click the tab that says " info '
    The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
    as such,
    ARTIST
    JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
    ALBUM ARTIST
    JAY-Z
    These should be separate for each artist
    If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

  • My albums in Itunes are different from those on my Ipod

    I've collected songs in different albums in Itunes (like the 90's), but when I sync my Ipod, there are songs from the same album that stand apart (I get 3 times 'the 90's as album). I've already tried 'compilation' and all the information is the same for each song... How can I change this, so all of the songs are in the same album on my Ipod?

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder.
    3 - reboot, launch iWeb, reset the colors and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • IPod touch 5th gen... play all songs on all albums by an artist in album order?

    Hi.
    On my old ipod classic I can play all songs on all albums by an artist in album order.  Is there a way to do this on the ipod touch 5th gen?  I can see how to play all songs by an artist but only in alphabetical order, not one album after another...
    Thanks,
    J.

    You can't please everyone ... some people want to be able to find a particular song by an artist and can't remember the name of the album from which it comes. By sorting all songs by an artist alphabetically you can go right to it. But I agree with you, I'd much prefer album order. Submit your feedback via the link provided, and yes the workaround is to create an On The Go playlist, or create one in iTunes.

  • Concept albums do not play in correct order on ipod

    Imported concept CD, Chicago 2 album, into iTunes and then put it on my 6th gen iPod Nano.  Shuffle is off and yet tracks do not play in order on iPod but they do play in order on iTunes.  Help--this is driving me crazy!

    Looking in your iTunes library, do the songs have the *track number* field completed, are they correct and is the "total number of tracks on the album" also filled in?
    There are various ways to see and change this information:
    a.) *View/As list* (it's easier to see what you need at this time) and then *View/View options* and put a tick in the box named *Track No.* This will show you the track numbers in a column for each song and you can see which ones are missing.
    If any songs or albums need changing:
    b.) select song, *File/Get info/Info>track number X*
    c.) select whole album *File/Get info/<yes>/>track number of X*
    If that is not the problem, then it possibly the menu (on the iPod) that you've chosen to use to see the album. Which one have you used?

  • I've tried everything I can think of to get my Iphone 4S to play albums like an Ipod does.  All it ever does is play the songs but not the albums in alphabetical order.  I used to think I was reasonably intelligent until I butted heads with this phone.

    I've tried everything I can think of to get my Iphone 4S to play albums like an Ipod does.  All it ever does is play the songs but not the albums in alphabetical order.  I used to think I was reasonably intelligent until I butted heads with this phone.

    Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

  • 'Complete My Album' puts tracks out of order on iPod

    I used 'Complete My Album' to add the remaining 12 tracks to the original track I bought. The original track (track 9) ends up at the end of the album (track 13) on the iPod. I have made sure all tracks are listed correctly by track number under More Info in iTunes. iTunes shows the correct album order, but the iPod does not. Any thoughts?

    I had this same problem and simply checking through that box didn't work, BUT, if you go through all of the boxes, it should fix the problem, it does indeed look like a problem with information in boxes throwing things out of whack.
