Albums out of order and duplicated after using Match

I finished Matching all of my tracks, and endbled iTunes Match on my Desktop, Laptop, and iPhone. My Mac laptop (where I originally enabled and purchased Match) shows my library as I want it-- everything in order correctly and all of the correct album art.
My desktop shows everything almost correctly. There are a few albums split into multiple (sometimes 7-10) parts, and album art is missing.
My iPhone (which has no local stored music right now) shows everything almost correctly. Some of the split albums that showed incorrectly on the desktop are in 2 parts instead of 10. Plus, some of the albums are completely out of order and duplicated in the album list view. I attached a screenshot below.
The "duplicated" albums seem to be alphabetically wrong because one of the tracks (When Love Takes Over, David Guetta) starts with a W. The problem is, the album for that track IS correctly set, and the artist and album artist are both David Guetta. Changing the album (which displays correctly in iTunes on my Mac, and even on my Windows Desktop) to a complilation does nothing.
How can I fix this?
(P.S. I have an iPhone 4S, Macbook Pro, and Windows desktop, all running the latest iTunes. I have only 293 songs, so I do not have a large library)

I ended up fixing my issue. The problem was the fact that some of the songs in an album were marked as part of a compilation, but some were not. iTunes seems to be less strict about grouping things in albums, so I never really noticed it.
However, this, combined with the fact that I could not update the metadata after the song is added to iCloud resulted in me changing the metadata on the computer, only to have it reset when I updated Match. I solved the problem by deleted everything from iCloud and rematching it, but only after I had corrected the compilation issue.
So, if you are havng the same issue, delete and readd everything to iCloud. I deleted everything from a second PC (that had no locally stored files) and then rematched from my laptop (where iTunes asked whether I wanted to add to iCloud, keep the song, or delete it. Choose "Add to iCloud" to rematch).

    Everything is backed-up.

    There's hardware and software.
    Your drive could physically be in good condition but something has caused the file structure to be messed up (it just happens sometimes).  The directory that keep track of files is corrupt.  Disk Utility can help determine if that is the issue.  In some cases it can repair the problem but it cannot do it to a drive that is being used to boot the system while you are doing that.  You have to boot from another drive.  Some things DU cannot repair and you need to try a stronger utility such as Diskwarrior.
    A failing hard drive (one with mechanical issues) can be a cause of file structure issues but this is by no means always the case.  Apart from looking at the SMART diagnosis feature of Disk Utility (and smart isn't totally reliable) there often isn't a way to tell if a drive is failing until it suddenly happens, which is why you need to maintain backups.
    In your situation it does sound serious and not just minor directory corruption.  You can try erasing (formatting) the drive,  You may need to do this if it is really corrupt, in which case there could be underlying physical issues.  I use old technology but if you have the patience you can try erasing the drive with the security option of writing zeros once (don't do more unless you are going on a 3 week vacation).  This makes the drive not simply assume everything is okay by forcing it try every part of the drive by writing data.  If something is gong wrong you may find it marks a lot of bad sectors, or flat out refuses to format.  Then you know you need a new drive.

  • Albums out of order..

    Hi,
    I've just used Nokia PC Suite to put some albums on my N73 and the songs are out of order.
    Is there a way I can edit the album so it's in the right order?

    Can you explain your solution further?
    I'm noticing the same thing on my Nokia 5300, using the latest PC Suite 6.82.22.0:
    Songs of each album are shown (on the phone, in Music Library > Album) out of order. This only happens if the songs are in .m4a eAAC+ format. 2 other albums, in MP3 and WMA, are shown in the right order.
    These songs were converted to .m4a from .mp3 songs, using the Music Manager in PC Suite. They had all ID3 tags before the conversion on the mp3 files, and according to Music Manager, they still have the same metadata in .m4a (although I'm not sure which tagging format it is, probably the iTunes standard).
    Anyway, did you add ID3 v2.3 tags to the .m4a files? With what software? Thanks.

  • Tracks out of order and other problems

    For one of my albums, the tracks are all out of order. I have edited the information, and the track numbers are proper, but it will not order them correctly. I have even removed the files from Itunes and then added them again--still they do not go in order. Then when I move the files onto my Ipod they are out of order, and it's very annoying. If Itunes won't recognize the track numbers, how do I reorganize them?
    My other problem is manly with the Ipod. I'm not entirely sure what I did to cause this but on my Ipod, an artist is doubled. And yet when I view the songs list on Itunes (the list of my Ipod) there is only one artist. How am I supposed to fix this?
    I've tried everything I would know of, and neither problems can fix. Thanks to everyone who replies.

  • What now? I got repair failed  "Keys out of order" and "Invalid extent entry"

    What now? I tried to verify & then repair disk and I got "repair failed"  "Keys out of order" and "Invalid extent entry"

    You've booted from your OS installer disk, ran Repair Disk from Disk Utility? If so then you need a stronger disk repair utility like DiskWarrier to rebuild the directory.
    BTW, update your profile information.

    How to merge PR (of same sales order) and create PO using Tcode ME59n.
    Is this possible using BADI?
    pls reply.
    A Rahim.

    Hello Deepak
    This kind of issue is probably related to your rescheduling settings. The PO is probably excluded from the rescheduling settings on customizing or it is outside the rescheduling horizon.
    Please take a look on the following WIKI that explains the rescheduling and the related settings in detail:

    Is the EclipseLink a free tool and no license fee?And yes, EclipseLink is an open source project so there are no license fees. However, Oracle does redistribute EclipseLink as part of the Oracle TopLink product and therefore customers are able to access support for EclipseLink through Oracle support.

    You have to be in a country to use its store - you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account to be able to use the US store (that applies to buying and redownloading).
    You can use iTunes Match in South Africa, do you not have a backup copy of all of your US iTunes purchases so that you can subscribe to it and upload those that aren't in the South African store to it ?

  • Albums out of order in iTunes and on iPod

    Despite what I try to do, sometimes iTunes 7 orders an album completely wrong. iTunes puts my album in this order: track 3,4,1,11,14 (those are the ones I have for the album). Track 4 I purchased through the iTunes Store as a single, and Track 1 and 11 I purchased as part of the album. But it seems that in putting track 4 in the album, iTunes believes that means that Track 1 follows it!
    This did happen occasionally (with the same album) in the previous version of iTunes, but it was always correct on my iPod, and now it follows the incorrect order in my library.

    This has hit me now, and it's something to do with version 7.0
    Having installed 7 yesterday, and straightened out the compilation album andaudio playback bugs , I noticed that some of my older albums didn't have track x of y, just track x.
    I thought I'd sort it out by doing a mass Get Info on all tracks from each such album; /however/, when I do this, it re-orders the tracks (apparently randomly), and will not allow me to change the order at all.
    Wiping track numbers, wiping tracks themselves, nothing works
    This is phenomenally annoying. Anyone got any answers
    P.S. I've just found that /any/ info change can re-order an album - I just changed the genre on an album and it randomised the track order

  • HT4236 Syncing my photo library to my phone, albums out of order

    Syncing my Aperture photo library to my phone from my Yosemite MacBook Pro (I also tried it with iPhoto and same store), the projects (called albums in iPhoto) are all out of order - just random.  I use a naming convention of date then name with the date in the format YYYYMMDD so even if it were to be resorted, they would be in chronological order.  They are in that order within Aperture and also on the screen in iTunes where I select which projects I wish to sync.  But then after syncing, they are all there in the Photos app, but in random order.  I'm a photographer and often need to access a photo from a session that I need to be able to find quickly and I pretty much can find what I need when it's sorted correctly.  I believe this problem only came about after a recent update of the software, which may have been with Yosemite.  Please help.  Thanks.  Steven

  • Track order of my album out of order

    Hello,
    I am having issues with my song order on my itunes.
    Usually when I put my songs of a certain album in my itunes and click the album tab at the top the songs are in order by track number in my album, but for one of my albums its in a completely messed up order and I can't figure out why.
    What I have tried so far:
    -I used the "get info" and made sure that the track number is there in order (1-20) for each song.
    -For the track number I also tried listing it as 1 of 20, 2 of 20, 3 of 20...etc but it has no effect.
    -I used "get info" and tried typing 1 of 1 for the disc number for each song in my album but it did nothing so I changed it back to what it was, (it doesn't say anything)
    -I even renamed my songs starting with a 1-20 corresponding to its track number, nothing changed.
    -I even did this to the song files on my computer with windows media player so the files themselves have the correct track number and numbering in song name, I used the "Advanced tag editor" on WMP.
    - I sync songs manually by dragging the songs into my "music" under my ipod, not my itunes library, this always worked except for this album, I tried syncing my songs about 5 or so times
    -I use a windows XP 2005 edition and the new nano ipod
    Other info:
    -The album name is the same for each song, so all the songs are in the same album.
    -It is set to album, not album by year or artist or anything else.
    -It is not on shuffle, the order is physically out of order so when i play it on "play once" or similar it's suppose to go on to the next song in that track order but since it's in a messed up order it plays in that messed up order where normally on a normal un-messed up order album it would play the next track number in order since it is in order on my itunes.
    Other info 2:
    -I do not want to make a playlist, I want the album in order on my itunes so when I'm using my ipod I can just go that album and play the songs according to track number.
    -The reason why I want it into order a lot is because this album is a "gapless megamix" which means when the songs transaction into the next song is unnoticeable since the song transact into the next song without pausing, so basically it is like one big, one hour song when actually composed of 20 songs, so the album must be in order.
    So in a nut shell I just want my album's songs to be in track order.
    Thanks

    Sorry for double posting but I wanted this to be in a different post
    Ok, after hours and hours of hurting my head I found the solution to this.
    The problem is that in the "sort" tab under the "get info" section is that there are 2 sections for artists, one is just "artist" and the other is "album artist."
    When you erase the "album artist" the track number reorders itself correctly, so I just needed to leave "artist" and delete the "album artist."
    Now my track order is not messed up.
    Hopefully this may help other people who are having the same issue.

  • Completed album out of order

    A while back, I purchased 3 songs from itunes....I decided to complete the album and purchase the other songs more recently...The first 3 I purchased are out of order remaining at the end of the completed album songs and will not play in correct order on my ipod and only play in order in itunes if I click 3 times on album to sort album by artist. I have looked at all the other posts as far as using command-I and fixing track and album info but nothing works. Can anyone provide me with a little help?? Thanks.

    Well like I said, if you do put those songs in a playlist you have the option of changing their order. In the library you don't have that option. The album would have sorted it by the time that you downloaded it. For example, when you downloaded the first 3 songs it put them in your library, but since you downloaded the rest of them separately, it does not group them in the right order. I know it's annoying, but that's what it does. The was to bypass that is to put those songs in a playlist, where you can change the order to whatever you want and then simply put that playlist onto your iPod and play that album off the playlist. There is only one other way that I can think of if for some reason you don't want to play them in a playlist. Once you do put them in a playlist, burn a CD of those songs and import them back into iTunes. Though I find that it's easier just to use the playlist because you can accidentally duplicate songs and it's just not worth wasting a CD for.
    Hope I helped,
