Album song order changes when synced to i-pod

On I-tunes the songs in the albums are in the correct playback order but when I sync it to my i-pod the some of the songs are in the wrong order. Everything looks ok when I look at the "get info" section. Any ideas?

looks like I figured out something that worked for me. In itunes I selected a playlist on my ipod, inside that playlist I selected an entire album by shift clicking the first and last song. In this example I'll use "album x" which has always been out of order on my ipod...after I selected the entire album I chose "get info" when the window pops up I saw that the "album artist" box was empty but the "artist" box wasn't. I just typed the same thing that was in the "artist" box into the "album artist" box and hit ok...after a quick resync "album x" which has always been out of order is now all of a sudden in order...and it has worked for multiple albums on my ipod, especially the sound tracks, give it a shot and let me know if it works for you.
Thanks

  • Album song order changes when imported or burned to CD

    I hope someone can help
    When I buy a song the order of these songs is changed once it is in my library, and it is displayed backwards for instance if there are twelve songs number 1 will become 12 and so forth.
    The same happens when I make a back up copy of whatever i bought
    What am I doing wrong?

    More background. When I export my iTunes library to an xml file, and view the file in a text editor, I see that the tracks that appear in the wrong order on the iPod are in the correct order in the xml file, with the correct track numbers. On the way to the iPod, something weird happens.
    Would be great if someone could take a shot at this.

  • HT201317 Album Photo Order Changes when Posted to Photostream

    Okay, I really liked the old iWeb app.  When I built albums the order in the album remained the same when posted to a web page. 
    Am I missing something?  Why does Photostream put photos back into number/date order?  Can this be overridden?
    Thanks!

    The order is probably alpha-numeric, based on the File Name of the photos. iPhoto allows you to change the photo's title, but to change the file name you must export a copy outside of iPhoto.
    Select your album. Then export to a desktop folder, with "use album name" checked. If your album is named "Winter" then the photos will be names "Winter 01," "Winter 02," etc. Your order should be preserved.
    If your photo titles are important, you could pad the beginning of each title with a numeral. Then export with "use title" checked, and the file name will become the photo's title.

  • Contact Detail Order Changing When Syncing

    I have contacts in Mac OS X address book and on my iphone. Within the contacts on my mac I have the datails "home"/"mobile" etc for different people. When I sync my iphone 3G with my mac, the order changes on my iphone to "mobile"/"home". The same happens when I create a contact on my iphone, the order changes on the mac when I sync. This is a manual sync, not mobileme. Any way to stop it doing this?
    Thanks

    Ever since upgrading to 2.0, my syncing takes forever and my addressbook won't synch in the order chosen and seen on the mac either. this used to be so easy

  • Keeping album song orders in their original order???

    Hello everyone,
    I'm a nubie to mastering Itunes, but I was wondering if anyone can help me keep my albums, song orders, organized in their original track order, instead of alphabetically.
    Most of my mp3's are in individual album files inside the artist file, with a number order beginning each track name 01_tracka, 02_trackb, etc. etc.
    Anyway, when I add all my songs to itunes and use my library/browser to search for albums, they come up alphabetically totally messing up my original song orders.
    What am I doing wrong?
    thanks,
    Tucky
    P.S. I don't let itunes organize my music folder, because I want to keep my original file folder structure.

    Gene,
    iTunes does not use the file names to display or sort the tracks. It uses the tags associated with each track. You can edit a track's tags by highlighting the track, pressing Command-I, and then clicking on the Info tab.
    To put an album in track order, you would need to enter the track number in that field of the get Info box. You would at least need to actual track number, you could add the total number of tracks as well.
    You sort iTunes by clicking on one of the headers of the spreadsheet-like display. So, if you select a single album to look at, you could sort it in track order by clicking the header of the "Track #" column. If you are displaying all the albums by a particular artist, if you have the track tag filled in, then you can click on the "Album" header to sort by the album name and each album will be sorted in track order.
    View Options (Command-J) only determines what columns are displayed in the main "spreadsheet" like display of iTunes. To actually sort the tunes, you need to click on the header of the column you want to sort by.

    If it's not too late, see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. As long as you have a backup of the device when the device still held your photos you should stand a chance of recovering them using a tool such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

  • Keeping the album songs order, when importing songs from different sources

    Hello
    I imported lots of songs into my itunes library from various sources (itunes store, CD's, and audio files converted from my vinyl records) This way, songs from a specific artist, and sometimes from a specific album, could come from different sources.
    Now, I hope to arrange all the songs from a specific album to appear in the appropriate order, but I just can't find a way of doing this! The songs just appear in the way iTunes sorts them, without any relation to the original order of the album. Even more, in the iPod itself, the order changes once again with no appearant reason! (Interestingly enough, when I import all the songs of a specific album from one source, the order is kept)
    I tried changing the names on the files in itunes to include serial numbers (01, 02 and so on, at the names of the songs). but then again, for some reason, no order is kept.
    How can I sort the songs in the album according to the proper order? I don't want to use a special playlist for each album.
    Thank you in advance for your replies

    iTunes sorts things in thew following way (based on having the correct ID3 tag info)
    Album > Disc number > Track Number
    if you sort things by Album
    iTunes does NOT take anything from the file name unless no ID3 tag info is present in the file, then you will see the file name appear as the track name and all other fields blank. ID3 tags are the way most meta-data is handled noawadays.
    Hope that helps.

  • Same file copying up to 20x throughout songs, albums artists and genres, when syncing itunes to ipod. Restored ipod classic 3 times in lastest itunes with a new user but no difference. Anyone had this happening?

    Just brought IPod Classic. When sync my iTunes library to iPod multiple files, up to 20times are copying in all music categories. Apple support got me restoring iPod then creating a whole new iTunes library in a new user on my computer. Did this, sync again, same problem. Anyone experienced this?

    ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

  • Album song order problem

    I am sure that this problem has been posted but for some reason I cannot find the search box to search through the posts. I only have a search box that searches the entire support page.
    I want to be able to see my songs alphabetically when I am viewing my ipod by artist. It seems as though it is set up according to the album order. When I look at a particular artist I have a long list of songs and it is hard to find a song because who remembers the songs in the order of how they are arranged on the album. Is there a way to change this besides going into the info and manually changing it? that would be very time consuming....
    Thanks,
    Kevin
    Also...How do I search posts now??? I used to be able to do this.

    Don't believe you can accomplish what you want with the iPod unless you manually change the sort keys in Get Info, and I'm not sure about that. You could try it for one artist and see.
    The ability to search discussions is temporarily suspended right now while they sort out all the iPhone gremlins.

    I'm having the same problem. I don't want to add any more songs into itunes because it's getting too messed up. I want the songs in the order that they appear on the cd. If you find a solution please let me know.

  • Photo order changes when burn CD

    I created iPhoto album in a certain order. When I burn CD the order changes, seemingly randomly. The order of the show is important. How do I prevent this? Thank you, MP

    The order is probably alpha-numeric, based on the File Name of the photos. iPhoto allows you to change the photo's title, but to change the file name you must export a copy outside of iPhoto.
    Select your album. Then export to a desktop folder, with "use album name" checked. If your album is named "Winter" then the photos will be names "Winter 01," "Winter 02," etc. Your order should be preserved.

  • Events from iCal changes when synced with phone :-((

    Hi! I've just bought a bluetooth adapter so I can sync my phone with ical. I'm convinced this will bring me one step closer to a digital synchronized heaven, but (of course) I encountered a problem:
    When I have added an event to my phone (Sony Ericsson T610) and syncs the calendar with my laptop (iBook G4 933 MHz), the event is "postponed" by two hours. For example: I have an appointment with - say - Pamela Anderson from 12:00 to 15:00 which I add to my phone. When syncing with iCal, the event has changed to 14:00-17:00.
    When I add the event to my laptop first, and then syncs it with the phone - the time of the event is set two hours earlier . To take my great example again, the event would then appear to be from 10:00-13:00.
    I've gone through all preferences etc. I can find in both iCal, iSync and on the phone. I've found no help online either... Does anyone have a clue? If so, please give me a hint on what to do, I would be immensely grateful!

    I was convinced that my time zone was GMT, but when I checked it was GMT +2 hrs, which solved my problem! Thank you so much Julian for helping me solve this, I cant wait to start a synced life

  • Date ordered changing when certain parameters are updated.

    Hello All,
    I came across an Issue where DATE ORDERED is changing when certain parameters are updated, such as agreement. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Veronica.

    Hello Veronica,
    Negotiation Phase is only for Quotes - it does not apply to Sales orders. You need to create a Defaulting Condition template similar to that called 'In Fulfilment Phase' for Sales orders.
    Here are the details:
    (1) Navigate to Setup >> Rules >> Search for Application='Order Management' and Entity = 'Order Header' >> Once the rules appear click on 'Defaulting Condition template' >> Under 'In Negotiation Phase' create another Validaton template named 'In Fulfillment Phase' >> Enter any Group# >>Under Validation Rules, Select Attribute as 'Transaction Phase' >> Mark it '=' 'Fulfillment' >> Save
    (2) Click Tools (top menu option) >> Generate Defaulting Handler package (you can also run the conc program)
    (3) Go to the Ordered Date defaulting rule and do as I had mentioned below.
    Please let me know if that helped.
