Albums sorted alphabetically by song title when searching on ipod classic

I understand that the default for the search feature is to sort songs within each result alphabetically - for instance, you go to "Search" type "Tool" and Select "Tool." Now you see a list of albums by the band, and you can select the one you want, but the songs are always sorted alphabetically by title. Please tell me that this can be changed! A lot of artists actually put thought into the arrangement of their albums (a big surprise, I know) and if I wanted something arbitrary like alphabetical order I would use this cool feature called "shuffle!" Thanks in advance.

Although the search utility will return artist names, why would you search for an artist name instead of selecting it directly from the Artist menu? The search utility seems much more applicable to searching for song names instead of +Show me all artists whose name begins with or contains 'Tool'.+
In any case, no you can't change the default sort order of search results. If you want to play songs in their album order, use the Artist or Album menu selection, not Search.

    Are they not played in the order they are listed?  Have you checked the Setting to make sure that the Shuffle and Repeat options are turned off?

  • Transferring songs from a Windows-formatted iPod classic to iTunes on Mac

    Hi everybody, I'm curious to see if this is even possible. My husband's Windows laptop died for the second time in three years, so he decided to switch to a Mac after seeing my MacBook last longer than both of his Windows laptops. :o) Anyway, now that the Windows hard drive is dead-and no, he didn't back up his songs to CD-he wants to transfer the songs on his Windows-formatted iPod Classic to iTunes on his Mac. I tried Yamipod, but it said "firmware unsupported" and quit-I suspect the Windows format had something to do with it. He has a lot of songs ripped from CDs and he doesn't want to lose them or have to spend time re-ripping them. Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help!

    same thing happened to me. I purchased iPod Access from the internet (for about $15). This program will let you transfer your music and playlists from your iPod to your library

  • TS1410 i can't see the songs in my  iTunes. These songs were synced from my iPod classic.

    I can't see the songs in my  iTunes. These songs were synced from my iPod classic before the i tunes updates.

    I would suggest as this is not Apple software you are using, you might want to look here.

  • LOSE SONG TITLES WHEN I BURN CDs

    Suddenly when I burn CDs from playlists, the new CD created only has track numbers and no song titles. I used to have a workaround for this problem -- instead of just highlighting the playlist and burning it, i would actually open the playlist and highlight every song -- but this no longer works!
    Anybody else have this problem or know why it happens? AND MOST OF ALL... ANYBODY HAVE A SOLUTION?
    Thanks much!

    CDDB is at the root of all of this. While it is a VERY comprehensive database, it is not psychic, and cannot detect the contents of a burned CD the way a DVD Player can glean movie info from a DVD. The remedy to this is right after you burn the disc, before you eject it, click Advanced on your menu bar, and choose "Submit CD Track Names". This will put the CD info for your burned disc (even custom mixes) into the back end database at CDDB. What this means to you is while the CD info may not be searchable at gracenote's CDDB website, it IS in the database, and any time you put that CD in a computer with CDDB lookup enabled (with or without ID3 Tagging) the CD will show Track Names and Artist for every song you sent in as part of that disc. I have about 1500 of my CDs in there and anywhere I go to play or rip them, the info is always available, as long as I have an internet connection. If you burn the tracks in the same order as they were on a commercially purchased version of the CD there is no need to submit the track names. CDDB will recognize it as whatever "album" it was burned from.

  • Why can't I sort my photos by Title when creating a Calendar?

    I am doing my first calendar in iPhoto 9.1.2, and thus experiencing my first 'issue' with the new interface. I am creating this calendar from an Event of a family member's 400+ photos from their recent trip to Australia, and unfortunately for me, the battery that keeps track of date and time on her camera was not functioning, so they are all labeled with the same date of Jan 1, 1980. Thankfully I can sort them by Title when viewing in iPhoto. However, when I select this Australia Event to create my calendar, all of the photos revert to being sorted by date. I have tried re-sorting them while in my calendar project, but there are no changes in the order of the images.
    Please tell me there is a work-around for this problem. Seems like in the past, the order of the photos when creating a project reflected the way they are sorted in your library.
    Thanks in advance if anyone's got any tips...

    I did manage to figure out a way around this --- while in the Event, I sorted all photos by title, and then I Batch-Changed the dates to a new date, leaving a minute between each photo, thus putting them in the right chronological order when I created a project using these photos.

  • I have just upgraded to the new version of itunes on windows7 and now albums added post udgrade wont play when added to ipod.

    Hi
    I have just upgraded to the new version of itunes on windows 7. I have just added 8 albums (Mp3 format) to my itunes library, synced with my Ipod classic and my wifes ipod nano, the albums have transferred to the devices but wont play when selected. Yet they will play in itunes.
    When I select the album on the ipod, it opens up as normal but when you press play nothing happens other than a wining sound from the hard drive of the ipod.
    My itunes library is a mix of itune purchases and mp3 purchases and this is the first time I have experienced this issue
    Hopefully there is a simple explanation to this

    It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

  • How can I change the song's order on my iPod Classic?

    I mean, now songs are stored by alphabetic order or number (in Album). I would like change this order, for ex. by stars, like in iTunes.
    I have an 6.5 generation iPod Classic, with my previous iPod 5.5 if i changed the order in iTunes also in my iPod songs were displayed in that order.
    Is there any funcion to do that?

    Yuo can create a playlist with your desired sort order, right-click on the playlist name and click Copy to Play Order, then sync it to the device. You can play that list in your order, but everywhere else the tracks will play in track number order or alphabetical order depending upon which menu path you used to choose them.

  • Why my songs wont appear in my ipod classic after dragging them in from my macbook?

    I have a very old ipod classic. After i connect it to my macbook (bought in april 2013), it detects. iTunes detects too. I dragged some songs and dropped into my ipod but after that it did not appear in the ipod. Kindly advise.

    Hi donniecgr,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you are trying to manually manage the content on your iPod. I would suggest reading over the attached article to confirm all of your sync settings and steps are correct.
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
    Manually add or remove content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    After following the steps above, you can add individual songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your device. To add content to your device:
    Select your device.
    Click "On this Device."
    Then choose "Add to" in the upper right corner.
    While viewing the media in your iTunes library, if you drag a song, video, TV show, or Movie a sidebar will appear on the right. You can drag content onto the device. You can also create and modify playlists directly on the device.
    You must import songs into iTunes before you can add them to your device. You can drag media files onto the iPod or iPad in iTunes to add them to the device without adding them to the iTunes library.
    When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Blue screen when connecting my iPod Classic to Windows7

    Hi!
    I know there are lots of these problems round here, but none of them actually seemed to apply to my situation nor did the advices seem to have helped me.
    Here's the thing:
    A few days ago while synching my iPod Classic with iTunes, it just crashed. I mean it stopped syncing but wouldn't eject. I got angry and just unplugged my iPod (I'm an idiot, I know) . After that, I tried to synch it again but i would just plug it in, click 'sync' and nothing would happen . For less than a second it would sync but nothing would actually happen. I decided to reboot my iPod. That's where real trouble started. After clicking "Reboot..." my laptop just crashed and blue screen popped up. Every time i plug my iPod while iTunes is on, the same thing happens - blue screen. I already checked my drivers, they're all updated.
    Here's what it says when the blue screen pops up:
    Technical information:
    *** STOP: 0x00000034  (0x00000000000000AB6, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000420, 0x0000000000000000, 0x00000000000000000)
    I'm going to the seaside in a couple of days and I desperately need my iPod.
    Would be very grateful for any kind of help and feedback .
    EDIT:
    Oh, I forgot to add. I also checked my laptop's memory, it wouldn't detect any problems. Also, when i plug in my iPhone, everything works just fine.

    This seems to be more of an issue with Windows than with iTunes or the iPod. I would suggest scrubbing it for malicious software or seek out a professional.

  • ITunes and Computer freeze when connecting 160GB iPod classic

    160 GB iPod Classic
    Model: MC293LL
    Version: 2.0.4 PC
    iTunes version: 11.1.3
    computers: 1 Win8 desktop,
                     1 Win7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1 Notebook
    since yesterday I started having trouble with my iPod. When connecting it to the Notebook it showed a message: "There's a problem with this device. Scan the drive now and fix it". After clicking on scan and trying to fix the problem the notebook froze, so I connected it to me desktop, and it worked, it said that the problem was fixed. But when trying to open the iTunes it froze and after disconnecting it I realised the music was gone. So I connected it again, the same "There's a problem with this device. Scan the drive now and fix it"-message showed, but at the end the computer said it didn't detect any problem with the drive, so I opened iTunes and restored the iPod, and it worked but after that iTunes froze, then Windows Explorer and then the whole computer. Tried to connect the iPod to the Win7 Notebook and the same thing happened, first iTunes froze and then the computer froze, they both didn't show the blue screen.
    What can I do? The iPod was already restored to the factory settings.

    i had the same problem. all i did was download the newest version of itunes, which i had been putting off for months because it takes so long. after i did this itunes worked fine for me
    hope this helps

  • Macbook Pro Freezes When Connected to iPod Classic!

    I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro that is acting a little funky. Whenever I plug in my iPod Classic to add music everything works perfectly fine until I eject the iPod. My computer then basically freezes up (gives the rainbow spinwheel of death) and it will not recover. The iPod icon doesn't disappear, it just turns light grey and everytime my only option is to force quit iTunes. The problem doesn't end there, my computer is completely bogged down and I have to force shut it down. It is incredibly annoying... The iPod works perfectly fine when I plug it into my fiancee's older Macbook Pro, it ejects fine and I've run disk utility on it using that computer and there are no problems with the iPod. My mid 2010 Macbook Pro runs other USB devices just fine (iPhone, iPad, Flash Drives etc.) it's just the iPod.
    Additionally, every since I upgraded to OS X 10.7 the computer will not shut down/restart. It just goes to a grey screen with a spinny wheel and won't fully shut down (I've left it over night to no success still grey screen). I have reinstalled OS X several times so I'm confused on this one as well. Any information on either of these issues would be greatly GREATLY appreciated.

    I should add that I can quit iTunes with the iPod connected. When I try to eject the iPod by manually dragging the icon to the trash the funkiness begins (icon doesn't disappear just turns light grey, and the computer freezes). I have found the computer behaves if I put it to sleep with the iPod connected (the iPod will eject properly) and when I wake the computer up, everything works w/o funkiness, however the greyed out iPod icon will still be on the desktop. This is the only way I've found to be able to manage this iPod when connected to this MBP.

  • One of my songs will sync with my iPod Classic but not my iPod touch

    I have one song that will play in iTunes, and sync and play on my iPod Classic but not my iPod touch.  The song is in MP3 format.  What can I do to get it to sync to my iPod touch?

    apparently you're question is answered because you marked it so ... ?
    anyhoo, what's the capacity of your Touch and what's the total size of the 1500 songs ?
