Alphabetic Quick Scrolling In Albums Produces Mixedup Listings

My video iPod (2nd Gen.) has started to produce a strange result whenever I use the Alphabetical Quick scrolling in my Albums list.
For example In my Artists lists, when I scroll quickly it starts with all the numerical entries and then starts with the alphabetical entries (i.e. 123, A, B, C, and so on to the end of the list.
Now until the past couple of days, it had worked perfectly like this in my Albums list, but now its starts off as A, G, T, S B, C, E etc. etc., and I find that all the album titles are all mixed up!
It is a real pain, as I have around 9500 tracks, and since I got the video iPod I found that this quick scrolling feature a godsend after using my previous iPods.
Does anyone know what might cause this, and hopefully how I might fix it.
I know its not life threatening or even seriously impeding my bipod use, but all the same, I would like this feature back in my Albums list.
Thanks

How do I quickly scroll in large documents?

I recently made the jump into Apple products and so far everything has been awesome. However I'm having one issue with my iPad 2. I just can't seem to figure out how to scroll quickly on the iPad 2.
On my phone a small 'scroll box' appears on the right hand side for quick scrolling, is there anything similar for the iPad 2? Or is there any other way to quickly scroll within a long document or web page?
Thanks.

It would be dependent upon the app, there is no global setting. Safari doesn't have one, and neither does Atomic Web browser from the App Store. Another browser, iCab Mobile, says that by tapping with three fingers you can bring up a 'scrollpad', which 'let's you instantly scroll to any location within a web page', but I haven't got the app so I haven't seen how well it works.
For documents GoodReader has a scroll bar on the left-hand side (for PDFs anyway).

Quick Scroll Gray Square Gone

Just like the title says, the gray square is gone when I try to quick scroll (it still scrolls quickly). I just get to see the rough outlines.

I'm having troube with music. Some artists that start with an "P" appear under the "R" menu and similarly throughout the alphabet. Same about albums, songs

I'm having troube with music. Some artists that start with an "A" appear under the "B" menu and similarly throughout the alphabet. Same about albums, songs and genres. It suddenly happened after about 3 days of iOS 5 usage. Re-synchronization doesn't help. I also tried deleting some artists from ipod, but it doesn't help either.

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

No quick scrolling on ipod

Hello, I have just updated my 5G ipod to 1.2 and there is no quick scroll. I have 1500 songs and am def scrolling fast enough. Am I missing a setting or something?

If you have your music divided by artist you can get quick scrolls by jumping by first letter, but when you are viewing songs the only way to go fast is to turn your wheel fast. I have a protective cover over my scroll wheel as well and i was able to get through 3300 songs in 5 seconds. So it could also be your iPod. May want to make a genius bar appointment and see if there is anything wrong.

Second language to the "quick scroll" in contacts and iPod?

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a way to add a second language to the "quick scroll" (the one on the right hand side of the window) in Contacts and iPod.
Today I only see the english alphbet there, is there a way to add a second (or even third language)?
Thanks...

It's a late answer, but you can put quite whatever you want in /etc/locale.conf, depending on your needs.
As you can see here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … ide_locale, you can only set LANG and the other LC_* variables will be set based on this. But you can also tweak a little bit the LC_* variables if you know what you're doing.
Set [SOLVED] if your problem is fixed

Quick Scroll Up

I used to tap on the black bar on Safari above the web address bar and the web page would quickly scroll back up to the top. However, this function no longer seems to be working on my new iPad. Did I inadvertently turn it off somehow? Can someone help? Thanks in advance.

I also just noticed that the time and my battery life are not showing up on the black bar also.

Where have the view icons gone! and why cant i scroll my album artwork anymore, instead i have an ugly grid!!

im trying to set up itunes on my new laptop, and all the library view icons have now gone, so easy switching from the ugly grid, to list or scrolling artwork seems to no longer be an option.
have apple stopped this on a down grade? or am i missing a vital clue to where its hiding, had a look on the help page and there seems no mention of it any more.

The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view.
If you feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

How do i turn off the STUPID gestures? every time i quickly scroll a large page i get switched to previous sites i've been at, very, very annoying! i hate gestures!

i'm using firefox 4.0 on an amd cpu running suse linux 11.4. i've completely turned off the gestures in suse (one of the first things i do, i can move a mouse very quickly and i like it to be a mouse!), i can't find a plugin or setting to turn these damn things off. the main problem is when i use the scroll wheel to rapidly move up or down a long web page and wind up on another page suddenly, very, very annoying! i really, really HATE gestures! then again i know how to use buttons etc. and i do mouse very quickly and creatively ( i also turn off several other "conveniances" like automatic window resizing, i know how to manage windows.....) thanks, i really, really hate these "features" being on by default, people with certain disabilites are probably also highly annoyed by the lack of choice in some procucts.
you really, really need to provide easy access to more settings, as evidenced by the number of extensions aimed at providing control to users. thanks

You can set all the mousewheel.with*.action prefs to 0 to perform a scroll.
mousewheel.withnokey.action
mousewheel.withaltkey.action
mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action
mousewheel.withmetakey.action
mousewheel.withshiftkey.action
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
If necessary then you can also set all the browser.gesture prefs to empty String values.

How do you scroll up albums in iTunes 11? There isn't a scroll bar on the right side. I know it appears when you minimize the screen, but it is hidden on my machine. Running Dell XPS 15z i7 w/ Win 7.

In iTunes 11, there is no scroll bar in full page Albums view. It does appear when you minimize the screen, but on my computer, the scroll is hidden and the resizing of the screen does not work. Is there a fix? Also, how do you sort tracks/songs in Album view? When I import lengthy audiobooks, the inability to sort through hundreds of tracks is really ticking me off. Again, is there a fix?
Apple... Before you tell me all the great features in iTunes 11, let me just say they are duly noted. But, I would rather have the option to do things on my own, rather than being forced to conform to your techies need to be creative. I don't use Genius or Playlists, so the ability to sort in them is useless to me.

It's been many, many years since I don't do dual boot anymore. Don't find the reason to do it, either. Different kinds of virtualization should be enough. Anyway...

Certain iTunes "matched" albums produce high pitched whine after downloading the "matched" version?

I have been begun using iTunes Match and I have encoutered a problem. After importing two of my "Stargate SG1" soundtrack CDs (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/stargate-sg-1-soundtrack-from/id28057422 and also http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/best-stargate-sg-1-soundtrack/id285158287), a very noticeable high pitched whine is heard during playback. This is not a problem with my macbook pro as the downloaded file on my iPhone makes the same noise. What is up with these tracks? Is there something I can do to fix it? These copies that produce the high pitched whine were the files directly downloaded after the match (so I could enjoy the higher bit rate). What's going on?

I called Apple today to get my 24.99 back! This has been the worst exprience I have ever had. At first I was excited that almost all my songs were matched. I figured I would be able to upgrade the 128 to 256. YEAH OK!!!
What it did was give me all radio versions of my hip hop music not to mention stuff like korn. I couldn't handle it anymore. I decided that I would feel a whole lot better ripping them all over again at 256 myself

Scrolling down album list in iPhoto causes iPhoto crash

Scrolling down to bottom of the album list in the sidebar in iPhoto causes iPhoto to lock-up with the spinning ball or crash altogether, any suggestions?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

IBooks 1.2 how to quickly scroll up to Search box

The Search box in iBooks 1.2 is now hidden at the top of the page.
I have >1000 books. The search used to be available on the toolbar no matter where I was in the list of books.
Now I have to manually scroll all the way to the top of the page to search. Is there a quick way to get to the search at the top of the page?
This is in the Categories tab, with the List view.

Yes this worked perfectly. The information is much appreciated.
I would never thought of touching the time (bar) at the top of the screen since that bar is not even really a part of the application.
Seems like a multi-gesture swipe up (or down) would be a more obvious way to do this. Or a press (and hold) popup option to jump to the beginning/end of the list.
But regardless, I'm glad this posting was here.
