Apple TV video playlists are not alphabetical

First of all, I love the new video playlist addition in 2.3. Thank you Apple.
I have a problem that I can't figure out. My movies that show up on playlists on the Apple TV aren't alphabetical. I thought that if I changed my sort options on my Mac (by name), this would resolve the problem, but it doesn't.
Any ideas how to get the video playlists to be alphabetical? I can't figure this out.

Had a quick look at playlists on my own set up, while most playlists were in alphabetical order some where not. It appears that the playlists on the tv reflected exactly the order in which content was listed in itunes, so those playlists that I had selected to be listed alphabetically in itunes where also listed alphabetically on the tv, those that weren't didn't.
Haven't still fully figured this out as yet since I assumed that if I changed a playlist that was listed say by 'date added' in itunes to 'alphabetically' and synced that the way it is displayed on the tv would also change, but this hasn't happened.
I will continue to look into this.

  • Smart playlists are not in alphabetical order on iOS 5.1 devices

    One of the most frustrating things for me about iTunes Match is the fact that the smart playlists in iTunes (version 10.6) do not sync in alphabetical order on my iPad/iPhone running iOS 5.1.
    Even though I click on the Name column and the songs in iTunes appear in alphabetical order, the songs appear in a random order on the iPad. I spent hours trying to fix this by turning iTunes Match off on my iPad, turning it on etc all to no avail. I created new smart playlists thinking that maybe the original smart playlists were corrupted in some way by the upgrade to the latest version of iTunes. This did not work either.
    Then, I had an idea. I created a new playlist (not a smart one), called it Test Alpha, copied the songs from the smart playlist into it and waited for my iPad to update.
    Voila! The songs in this new, non-smart playlist are in alphabetical order.
    I do hope that this problem is fixed. It is a pain to do this for the 15 odd smart playlist I have. Hope this helps someone else.

    No. And the problem persists in iOS 6 with the latest version of iTunes.
    For three weeks, I had been talking on and off with a techie in Singapore. She got me to run all these test, send screen shots etc..
    In the end, I was told that the engineers said 'that is how it's supposed to be'. Well, thank you very much. No help at all. No further discussion about the issue ensued.
    Apple's arrogance will soon be the cause of its share price collapsing. My solution? I have not renewed my subscription to iTunes Match.

    Thanks !
    The only thing I didn't do right is that I didn't Erase all content from iPod... I did it from iTunes...
    Technique worked for me !

  • Video chapters are not displayed anymore

    It remains the same with the video app in iOS 5.1.1, no chapter names.
    Give Apple feedback and request chapter titles;

    Search for a 3rd party iOS video app that perhaps provides this functionality.

  • My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID.  We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another.

    My wife and I share the same email address and Apple ID. We are not able to send and receive Text Messages to one another. Is the cause of this because we share the same Apple ID? Will we have to set up 2 separate primary email addresses to be able to  send and receive Tex Messages to one another? Like I said, we share the same email address and woul like to keep it that way to keep up with our email together. Is there a way to by-pass having to set up 2 primary emaill addresses if this is the problem?
    Thanks.

    go to the settings and turn off imessage
    but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
    the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
    but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

  • I transfered all my music over from my old to my new laptop but my playlists are not there. How do i get my playlists?

    I transfered all my music over from my old to my new laptop but my playlists are not there. How do i get my playlists?

    You need to transfer the iTunes library, not just the music.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to new computer.
    Launch iTunes.
    This is all you need to do

  • Files from Windows 7 are not alphabetized correctly on OS X, and can match identically named files in the same folder

    I receive MS Word files from students using Macs or Windows-based computers.  This year, files prepared by students using Windows 7 are not alphabetized correctly on my Mac (under Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion).  The same four students keep having their files put at the END of the alphabetical sort by name, even though the files should appear earlier in the list.  I have to copy the file contents and paste the contents into a new document to get the new document to appear in the right order, and if I do so, then BOTH the old and new files appear in the Finder, even though the names appear to be identical!  So can have to files with the same name in the same folder, which ought to be impossible.  Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

    Bingo! 
    The problem is not the letters themselves, but non-letter characters in the file name; this showed up with the fixed-width fonts. The apparent duplicates and mis-sorting are caused by dashes, which differ because they're done as en-dashes in one file name and em-dashes in the other file name, or by curly or straight apostrophes.  I didn't see that in the Finder window.
    I never saw this behavior before this year.  Last year, when I was using a Mac for the first time, I did not see any such problem, even though my students' files were named using the same conventions. When I was using a Windows-based laptop before that, I never saw the problem.
    Windows must do something to style the non-letter characters differently than a Mac.  Is there any place in Windows Explorer or the OS X Finder that styles characters this way?  I can see this being a big problem for someone who needs to sort very important data by name, when the files are coming from different operating systems!
    (I just Googled en-dash, em-dash, and curly quotes with file names, and found a good number of posts on various sites about similar problems based on ASCI character coding, html coding, Windows Explorer, and other applications.  Sometimes the files don't appear at all, because the application reading the file name can't deal with a certain ASCI code.  What a mess.)

  • I've been given under warranty what us supposed to be a new iPhone 5. When I try and restore it from my iCloud it keeps asking me to sign in with two other Apple ID's that are not know to me. Why is this?

    I've been given under warranty what us supposed to be a new iPhone 5. When I try and restore it from my iCloud it keeps asking me to sign in with two other Apple ID's that are not know to me. Why is this?

    Adding to KC7GNM's remark (with which I agree), the iPhone 5 you received is very likely refurbished.  It is not brand new out-of-the-box, never before used.

  • ITunes Match: my playlists are not current

    My playlists are not current when they are updated (changed content, created new one) on my Mac (without Match).
    On my iPad the playlists are then not changed (with Match). Although  the new songs will be included,

    Wait a minute...
    You're saying that when you change a playlist on the Mac that does not have iTunes Match enabled you expect those changes to show up on your iPad that does have iTunes Match enabled? That's not going to happen.
    Why would you expect that?

    Would you be able to try 9.3(2) firmware or later?  I checked with 9.4(1) and I see a lock icon when placing a video call on my 9971.  According to the new and changed information 9.3(2) added additional support for when to display the lock icon,

  • Playlists are not syncing on mac and macbook - have match

    I have itunes match turned on on my imac, my macbook pro and my iphone.  The playlists are not syncing which I thought they would and I thought they did match at one point.  For instance:
    I have a playlist named bachelorette party I created on my macbook pro itunes.  I put 53 songs on it and it played just fine at the party on my iphone, all 53 songs were on my phone. 
    Today, there are 12 songs on my phone in the bachelorette party playlist, 12 on my macbook pro, and 41 on my imac.  So, 53 songs total, but not on anyone device. 
    Seems to me like I should have 53 of the exact same songs on all devices since I have itunes match enabled on all. 
    Am I missing something?  I have home sharing turned on to.
    I appreciate any help you guys can give. 
    Thanks!!

    Also, I should add that I tested the itunes match buy purchasing a song in itunes on my macbook, then i dragged it to my bachelorette playlist.  Sure enough, it showed up on my iphone in the bachelorette playlist moments later. However, it did not appear in the same playlist on imac.  It appears as if my imac does not want to play along...lol.

  • My iPhone asks me to sign into apple id's that are not mine- how do I stop this?

    My iPhone asks me often to put in a password for apple id's that are not mine. Some of the ones that pop up are for people that I don't even know. Why does this happen and how do I stop it? Thanks!

    Hi Friend,
    You must have all apps downloaded by your Apple ID, otherwise you will still facing this problem. Delete the apps you did not download by yourself and download them again. I will fix your problem.
    By the way, your device is configurate with your Apple ID? Check it in: Settings>>iTunes Store and App Store
    Hope it will be helpful

  • ITunes video playlist does not loop when using apple tv/airplay

    I have made a video playlist in itunes, I have made sure that each video file is not set to "skip when shuffled" and I have also gone into appletv settings and ensured that looping is turned on. When I shuffle this playlist, it plays through airplay to my apple tv, but after each video in the playlist has played the playlist stops.
    I would like the playlist to continue indefinitely until I decide to press stop. Does anyone have any thoughts on why this does not happen?
