Artist Name not Album Name

Hi,
Is there a way to setup iTunes music by artist and not the album title?
Thank you

Hi,
I worded the question wrong, sorry. It was the right answer per this question however, thanks. I had contacted iPhone support earlier today regarding why when I sync the iPhone with iTunes I cannot always locate my songs by the artist and not the album title.
This makes no sence. After my restore three songs were missing, it seemed. They were there under the album title and not the artist as it was previously. I am looking to change this back to artist on the iPhone 4s and are stumped as how this works.
Thank you,
Mohegan

I lost all of my artist names and album names for my iTunes library. They are all now on one album. How can I get the album and artist names back?

I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.

Artist name does not appear in artist list but album name is in album list - Ipod Classic 160gb

For an album I have imported onto my iPod from iTunes, the album name is in the Album list but the Artist name is not on the Artist list. I have tried deleting the album from the iPod and re-adding from ITunes but the same result. It is a single artist album, so the artist name is exactly the same for each track; all the tracks are there. Big nuisance as I use artist name a lot to find specific albums.

this did not work for me,
Possibly because your problem (you say) was the album name. The original post was about the artist name and is therefore a different problem.

Huh?
Let me get this right, you had lots of songs without the album name in them, so you filled in the album name yourself - if you knew the album name. If you didn't know the album name, you then entered the same text on all the rest of those songs. So now, you must have a lot of songs all on the same album, even though they're not meant to be - and - you've put text in to a lot of your songs that will remind you forevermore, of just how unhappy you are.
Well! &
My question to you is; where did you get the songs from, that they came without the correct information in them?
If you imported them from a CD, iTunes will go and get the information for you.
If you bought the songs from the iTunes Store, or another music retailer, the information is in the digital file that you purchased.
How therefore, does so much of your music appear to be incomplete?
Am I missing something, or have you simply failed to explain the porblem properly?

Is there any way to group "artists" section on iPhone by Artist name, NOT album artist?

I add music to my iphone 5s manually, by playlists. sometimes I add music manually by dragging it to my iPhone. When I go to Music and then Artists, a lot of the names are not alphabetical because they are sorted by "Album artist". Is there a way to change it to just "Artist" so it will sort it according to JUST artist name?

Nobody?

Save For Web - saves original file name not new name

Hello, when I use Save for Web with slice(s) the original file name (appended with the slice number) gets saved even though I have changed the file name in the save dialog. This only happens about 50% of the time. Sometimes it saves as expected - with the new file name. I am using the default settings in the save dialog all the time.
Stranger is that if I am saving (for Web) say 10 slices some will be named with the original file name and some will be saved with the name I gave it in the save dialog.
This was happening on my Windows XP sp2 system when I was saving to an Ubuntu server (local network). So when I switched to a new computer running windows 7 and saving to a new server (windows 7 pro) I thought it might fix the problem - but it has not. So there must be a setting I am missing - though that does not account for the intermittency of the problem. I have changed settings under "custom" in the save dialog and things do change except the original file name is persistent not the new name I have given it.
The PSD files come from a designer using a Mac.
My system:
PS 10.01
Windows 7
AMD x2 duo 250
4 gig Ram
Thank you for any help you may provide

I made an action to save large batches to a designated "pics" folder. Then when I'm done with a big batch, I just move them to the original folder and let the OS overwrite them. May seem like a lot of work, but I can do a batch of 500 gallery thumbnails in about four minutes and it takes about 30 seconds to move them and replace the originals.

How can I get iPod touch with IOS5 to sort by song artist and not album artist?

Since updating to IOS5 many song artist are missing. I set up iTunes to sort on song artist but when I sync, my ipod tyrs to sort by album artist not song artist. How can I get the ipod touch to sort by song artist???? Most of my Song artists show up under Various which is the entry for album artist. Please help! I have aver 9000 songs with this problem. If I can't solve this issue, I will have to return to using my Toshiba Gigabeat which allows me to sort be album artist. IOS-5 was a step backwards.

Go to settings.

View of Contacts surname, first name NOT first name, surname

Required is the view of contacts with surname, first name.
This is impossible to adjust and a No-Go for business.

While that is currently not possible in the contact listing view, it could be updated in a future upgrade. I hope it will be.

HT2490 how do i have my contacts display alphabetically by first name not last name

How can I have my contact list sorted alphabeticially by first name (like on my iphone) and not by last name.
Thanks!

On your menu bar with AddressBook open choose AddressBook menu item > General tab > "Sort by" should be an option?"

DNS Name not Sharing Name

Howdy all,
I've been noticing and have been dealing with until now that the entry in the DNS Name column doesn't always report accurate.
For example
I have a laptop/desktop named Comp-Mac28-UserName in the Sharing Preferences' Computer Name Field.
ARD reports in it's Name field the same from the Sharing Prefs' as above.
However in the DNS Name, I get one of either the :
• correct name
• Unknown
• blank (as in white space and not the word blank)
• another machine's name (oddly enough, a Windows machine)
Has anyone seen, dealt with this bug, annoyance or feature?
Thanks in advance.
-p

I believe this is due to the TTL (Time To Live) for DNS entries. We just moved over to VLans here and all the machines are grabbing new DHCP IP numbers. Because of this as new computers are moved over they are grabbing numbers of other systems that have been turned off for a while. The old DNS name still exists on that IP. Use Network Utility to see what DNS names are associated with that IP. I bet that more than one name is on that IP number.

SQLAlwaysOn 2012-Query server name shows NODE name not Cluster name

Hi guys,
I just finished setting up my SQLAlwaysOnLab for our Development team. I'm having an issue understanding the AlwaysOn HA feature.... When I run the "SELECT @@SERVERNAME AS 'Server
Name'" The result show the local server name and not the ClusterName or the Availabilty Group Listener name. We need it to show the actual Cluster name or AG Listner game. Our 2008 r2 2005 clustering we have a shared storage cluster
and we setup the config services and application, so when i run a query in that environment it shows "NTS-PROD"(not the clustername). Which is what we want.. Thanks for any input at all! My dev config below:
CLustername=ADM034SQLC050
3 nodes in the cluster bellow: ADM034SQL051, ADM034SQL052, ADM034SQL053

Hello,
Edwin is correct, this is the expected and correct behavior as it's returning the current server that it is executing on.
What you could do is create a function that could be executed to return the value you want inside of the databases involved in the AGs. That would give you what you want, but the built in functions are working correctly.
Edit:
I wanted to expand on what I wrote and qualify it a little more so that it adds some extra information and understanding.
With a clustered instance, the servername will come back with the clustered instance name. This is because when using clustering, the resource for this is setup both at the SQL Server level (by choosing setup as a clustered instance) and at a windows level
(resources in the cluster). In a cluster, each instance has a VCO (virtual computer object) created for it in AD and that is actually what is used, so servername comes back with the VCO as we would expect.
This differs with AGs. AG instances are locally installed instances and they can be connected to without using a listener (in fact a listener isn't even needed for AGs). Listeners exist ONLY at the windows level as a resource, there is no VCO associated
with a listener or any other AG resource. Each instance can be connected to just like you would any other stand alone instance. In this situation SERVERNAME returns the name of the server that it is currently on as there is nothing special about these servers.
The clustering is only done at the windows layer and SQL Server installation are simply stand alone.

How do I get my iPod Nano 7th Gen. to sort by Artist and not Album Artist?

Why does my iPod Nano 7th sort by Album Artist? And how do I get it to sort/view by just purely Artist like on my iTunes?

Check with the manufacturer of your radio and see if they have a compatible cable.

Source name not file name

Hi Everyone...
Lost and replaced a drive... Now I need to recapture...
But then the ensuing dialogue informs me (for every selected offline clip) that another file called " " already exists.
Sure enough, the clips' item properties tell me their source file name is " " (as in blank)
I can get around this through the dialogue sequence, but I have to retype the name of file " " as part of the capturing sequence.
So the question basically is: how do I change the name of the 'source', without too much headache?
I've had this before when drives played up... And a real headache it was, too...
Thanks, David

LOL.
That XML solution is something you can't test until you get a project like David has.
A client had one recently in which the Source name for almost all the clips in the Browser was 'Mac OS'. Therefore, when he'd try to batch capture, he'd get lots of Duplicate Filename error messages, and there was no solution until I tried the XML thing.
After I exported to XML, I looked at the raw XML file, and it still showed the 'Mac OS' Source names (you have to enable the Source column in the Browser BEFORE you export to XML to have that column of data show up in the XML file.) But after I did the Import into a new project's Browser, the Source filenames were all corrected. It was like magic.
If anyone would like to see this work, I still have my client's project, and could Email it out. My Email address is in my Profile.

Hi dmbcanada. Have you encountered problem with sending sms with your z220? Because I cannot send sms but i can receive. I reset myphone everytime this happens.

Ethernet Interface en0 name not DNS name???

When I look in the server admin all of a sudden (we did just recently put the server outside of the firewall due to SIP issues) now my server no longer reflects the correct FQDN in the General Settings/Network tab. Instead it shows the generic ISP name. Any ideas?

It should work anyway but the server needs to go to root servers to look up all other domains.
To avoid that you can put in ISP DNS as forwarders to speed up lookups.
In the Leopard DNS GUI there is now an option to do so.
Forwarders offload lookups from your server to whichever DNS you can use as forwarder DNS.
To test if a DNS will work as a forwarder from your public IP (ISP DNS should "always" work):
host <IP or name you want to lookup - use something "remote" like www.apple.com> <DNS IP you want to test>
It's important to test a domain or IP that isn't part of the ISP range/domain or you might be fooled to think it works for all domains.

Itunes can no longer find artist or album name

I have not seen this exact problem on the forum. I upgraded itunes yesterday to 10 and then when I synced my ipod touch, almost all of the artist names and album names disappeared. I tried several times to get info and this retrieved some of the information but now it says that it can't get the track information for music not purchased from the itunes store or ripped through itunes. The problem is that all of my music was either purchased from itunes or ripped through itunes except one album. Does anyone have this same problem or can anyone tell me how to fix it?

Locate and remove the iPod Photo Cache folder(s). A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library, but may solve your sync problem.
