Artists, Albums & Songs not organized correctly

I have a first gen, 32G touch running version 2.2.1. All of my music is displayed in alphabetical order (under Artist, Albums and Songs) however they are not correctly shown under the Letter heading. Example: Under the Letter Heading of "G" it shows Artists that begin with "G", "H" and some "J". Any help on how to correct would be appreciated.

Try to reset your iPod. Hold down the sleep and home buttons for at least 10 seconds, ignore the slider to turn it off, let go when you see the Apple logo.

  • Is there a way to export a searchable list of artists/albums/songs (not the music files, just the text) to my iPhone 4?

    Basically, I have an iPod Classic which contains over 17,000 songs. I have a 16 GB iPhone 4. I don't always have the iPod with me, but just about always have the iPhone. Since I am still old school enough to actually buy CDs, I'd like a handily available and searchable list that I can export from iTunes to my iPhone so I can make sure I don't accidentally duplicate a purchase (it happens). I've tried searching the App Store but either I am doing it wrong, or nothing exists as yet. Obviously the phone can't carry all of that music so I am not looking to transfer those files en masse. Just want the lists so I can reference them as needed. Is this a pipe dream or is there actually a way to do this?  Thanks in advance...

    I just saw your post
    Im using Adobe Elements 11 and my movie is a prel file. When I move it an
    external hard drive I want to maintain the order of of my movie in its
    original time line if possible
    The prel file is a project file which will eventually be exported to a file which will be your movie.
    If all this involves just changing the location where you save your project files routinely, that is one thing.
    But, once you move the source media that go into a project which has been saved closed, then you get
    into serious media - project reconnect issues.
    When you import media into a project, all you get are copies of the originals that are at a hard drive save location.
    But, the project needs to trace back to the originals at the hard drive save location where they were when first
    imported into the project.
    Moving the project file should not get you into trouble; whereas moving, deleting, renaming source media that went into the project will.
    If the project is finished, I can see using the Project Archiver to save it in a Copied Folder (saved to the external hard drive).
    But, to work from the Copied Folder on a routine basis needs some thinking about. I would think about pointing your project and
    it components to locations of your choice (even the external hard drive) for the "next" project but without involving the Project Archiver until you have finished
    with the project and want it safely out of the way.

  • One song off an album did not download correctly?

    one song off an album did not download correctly?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • Shell script to copy Music/Artists/Albums/Songs to Music2/Artists/Songs

    Hi,
    My Music folder is currently organized as follows (standard iTunes behaviour):
    Music
    Artists
    Albums
    Songs
    Artist1
    Album1
    Song11
    Song12
    Song13
    Album2
    Song21
    Song22
    Artist2
    Album1
    Song11
    Song12
    Album2
    Song21
    Song22
    Song23
    etc.
    I would like to copy this Music Folder to an USB flash drive, but without the "Albums" level, i.e.:
    Music2
    Artists
    Songs
    Artist1
    Song11
    Song12
    Song13
    Song21
    Song22
    Artist2
    Song11
    Song12
    Song21
    Song22
    Song23
    I assume that an unix shell script is able to do this, but this is beyond my skills
    Or do you know a software that can manipulate files in such a way?
    Thanks in advance.

    OK, clear. For future runs, should I be better off runing the command in a directory on my Mac, and copy the resulting music folder to the USB drive?
    No, the optimum solution would be to format the thumb drive with the HFS+ filesystem. You could use cp, ditto, or rsync will the proper options and not copy the file fork to the thumbdrive. Or you could  filter out the file forks in the two find commands.
    ls | while read dir; do
        find "${dir}" -type f ! -name "._*" \( -name "*.mp3" -o -name "*.m4a" \) -print0 | xargs -0 -I '{}' mv -n "{}" "${dir}"
    done
    find . -type f ! -name "._*" \( -name "*.mp3" -o -name "*.m4a" \) -mindepth 3 | while read file; do
         base=${file%\/*}
         base=${base##*\/}
         mv "${file}" "${file%*\/*\/*}"/"$base"_"${file##*\/}"
    done
    The warning or error messages are innocuous anyways.
    OK. I removed them manually, which took me less than one minute. Should I add a "rm -r .DS_Store" step before future runs?
    I wouldn't bother. Change->
    find . -type d -empty -delete
    to
    find . -type d -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -exec rm -rf '{}' '+'

  • Screen Goes Black and Hangs when browsing by Artist, Album, Song, etc.

    I'm having a fairly huge issue with Front Row:
    I can play video files (although their is a moment of hangtime between selecting a video and the video actually playing) and music files (if I choose the "Shuffle Songs" option), however, when I choose to browse my music by artists, albums, songs, genres, etc. my screen goes black and stays that way until I hit CMD+Q over and over until it finally quits. Furthermore, when I do play music via "Shuffle Songs" and quit out of Front Row, the music continues to play in the background and cannot be stopped, paused, etc.
    Is there anyone out there who can help me fix this? I love Front Row and use it all the time and it would be a shame not to be able to anymore..
    Thanks in advance,
    Corey

    I have a similar problem. When browsing music the screen goes to black or just freezes on whatever was beeing displayed for maybe 30 seconds to a minute before continuing. It happens quite often. I am running the latest version of Front Row on a brand new Mac Mini. I have a very large iTunes music folder (about 830 gigabytes of uncompressed AIFF files) running on an external FW800 drive. I tried repairing permissions and a number of Front Row and a few iTunes files appear in the list. However, when I run repair permissions again, the same files are still listed so obviously if they need to be repaired, it's not happening. I tried repairing the volume (no problems found) and repairing permissions from the Install disc but the result was identical.

  • Artists/albums/songs list too long!  Shortcut?

    Hi,
    I've got so many artists in my iPod's list, it takes me far too long to find songs. Not so bad when you're walking around, but terrible when I'm in the car with the iTrip and I'm trying to find a song!
    Is there any way I can break the Artists/Albums/Songs lists down into like.. A-K, L-Z? Or jump to a particular letter faster than 1 line at a time? I have looked in the settings but I can't find anything relevant.
    If this isn't possible, maybe it would be a good idea for a future iPod feature?
    Thanks!

    It isn't about how many tunes - rather the size of the files.
    Look at the bottom of the iTunes window when viewing a playlist - it will show you number of tunes, time of playlist and the size of the entire playlist.

  • Some albums not organized correctly on iOS devices?

    I just activated Match yesterday.  For the most part, it works great!  I'm running into an issue where, in iTunes on multiple computers, if I go to a specific artist, all their albums are there in order.  Then, if I go to the same artist on any of my ios devices, only 2 of their albums will be there & the third one is missing.  the really strange part, is that if I do a search for that album on the ios device, it pops right up.  So, it is somewhere on there, just not being categorized with the correct artist, but only when looking for it on an ios device.  Any ideas?

    It could be a metadata mis-match. Look in settings > music and see if the option for "group by album artist" is selected. Then make sure all the albums do have the correct Album Artist specified.

  • Organizing Music Library by Artist by Song (Not by CD)

    Is there a way to organize your music library by Artist then by song alphabetically without creating a playlist? I know you can orgainze your whole library by song alphabetically and also organize by artist and then by CD/album alphabetically but I want by artist by song alphabetically.

    Hi there. What I've found useful in this instance is going into Get Info for either a specific song or for the album and deciding how I wanted the album or specific artists to be categorized.
    iTunes is very literal and drills down to capture the minutae of information embedded in a song track instead of skimming from the top.
    When it comes to compilations, I highlight the entire album and then when at the Get Info window, uncheck the Compilation check box.
    Then I think about how I want to categorize an album and either change the information in the Get Info window per song or wholesale, per album.
    I hope that helps

  • Under the music tab... songs not displaying correctly

    so i just got a new 60 gb ipod video... got home loaded the necessary software and loaded the songs to the ipod. videos, pictures, and songs are all diplaying. with one small problem. when you go into the music tab, instead of seperating it into the selected catagories (i.e. artist, albums, and songs) it is just showing the titles of the songs in all catagories. i've reset it, restored factory defaults, cleared my entire music library out of itunes, then pulled it back in and nothing seems to be working. can someone please help me?????

    i'm talking about the ipod.
    this is what i'm getting
    under the music heading on the ipod there are 8 catagories:
    1 playlists
    2 artists
    3 albums
    4 songs
    5 pocasts
    6 genres
    7 composers
    8 audiobooks
    all of them are showing the songs correctly except 2 and 3.
    2 and 3 are showing the song titles like it does in 4.
    i can't get it to seperate all the songs by artists or albums.
    does that make any more sense???

  • Album view not working correctly

    I just bought two albums via the Store (first two albums by Men At Work). Whenever I view them, iTunes insists on separating the first track from all the other tracks. (It does this in all three viewing modes - List, Grid, or Cover Flow.)
    The albums themselves are organized as they should be...iTunes isn't actually separating the albums, only the viewing of them. (Meaning, if I play the first track, then let it go, it'll go on to the second track, just like any other album.) What's going on? How can I stop iTunes from doing this?
    Also, in List mode, iTunes only does this when I tell it to show the Artwork column. Why would it do this? The album art itself is exactly the same for all tracks.
    Neither of these are compilations, BTW. Also, the tracks all have exactly the same name for the artist, album artist, etc. (Believe me, I checked that too.)

    Did you look at One album, still too many covers? Select all the tracks from one of the albums, change the Artist & *Album Artist* to *Men At WorkX* and add a trailling X to the Album title. On the Sorting tab put ticks against the *Sort Artist*, *Sort Album Artist* & *Sort Album* boxes then click OK to apply the changes. This should merge the album into one entity. Now put back the back the correct values and the album should stay joined up.

  • Problem with Displaying Artists/Albums/Songs on iPhone 4S

    I purchased the 64GB iPhone 4S and went to load all of my music library onto it (a little over 30GB worth).  I believe all the songs are on the phone but I'm having a problem.  Not all of them are listed.  It's especially noticiable in the artists and albums section.  In both of those sections, while each list is in alphabetical order, the artists/albums start to get listed in the wrong part of the alphebet.  For example, in the Album section, while it ends with the 123's, the albums listed there start with R, which is where the albums end.  The same goes for the artists.  So, currently, I can't look for "Who's Next?" by the Who via either of those routes.  The problem with the songs is a little different.  While I believe all the songs are there, while they start out in alphabetical order, they soon start to become jumbled.  It seems it's trying to keep them in order; but it can't.  For example, songs beginning with 'L' start during the letter 'J' category.  Does anyone know what I can do to get all the albums and artists to list on my phone and how I can get the songs to display in alpahbetical order?  Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • Copying artist/album/songs titles into word document

    i am wanting to to copy the artist, albums and song titles into word so i can print it out and store a hard copy with my back-up dvd that i did?
    is it possible?
    many thanks if anyone can help

    I'm not sure how you can get this information into Word, but you can print a list with the following columns: song/length/artist/album for your entire library in iTunes. To do this, make sure you're in your main library and that you have your music listed in the order you want the final document to appear. Then on the top line select File>Print> then put a check mark in the song listing circle and hit okay. You should get a printed list of everything in your library.

  • Alphabetical Navigation on right side for Artists/Albums/Songs (Mobile)

    There's a utility that allows you to move through alphabetical lists quickly via a thin alphabetical list on the right side of a list. For long alphabetical lists, this is almost necessary to quickly get to where you're going. Adding this to the right side of the Your Music sections that are alphabetically organized would be incredibly helpful.

    I couldn't find a topic for this so I made my own. I got forwarded here by an admin. I'll just post my mockup here:
    Original postI really want to see fast scrollbars implemented in the android mobile app. It's a small detail, but it makes a huge difference in terms of speed when trying to quickly find a specific artist, album or song inside Your Music. It would also be great to have it in regular playlists when they have alphabetical sorting enabled.
    Examples of it implemented in stock android, KK Dialer and Action Launcher 3                 Mockup of Spotify implementation: 

  • Album sync not working correct

    Hello everybody,
    i use the Photos app since the first Beta and i think that there is potential to be a good App. (IOS really needs the possibility to delete only the local picture an not the one in the include )
    Now i updated to the new Yosemite and try to sync the pictures from iCloud. Everything works fine, except my albums.
    My Albums are sorted like this:
    - Cars
    -- Car 1
    -- Car 2
    -People
    -- People 1
    -- People 2
    -Meeting
    -- Meeting 1
    -- Meeting 2
    - Events
    -- Event 1
    -- Event 2
    On my iphone everything works fine. I See all picture an albums.
    On Photos first everything was fine but suddenly after a restart all Albums were gone. I tried to sync them into a new library but all i got was maybe 1/3 of my albums like this:
    - Cars
    -- Car 1
    -- Car 2
    -People
    -- People 1
    -- People 2
    All pictures are synced right...
    It was the second time now that they gone and i really don't want to tag the faces and the Albums new all the time
    hope somebody can help me...
    Hope somebody can help
    greets
    Rigo
    P.S. I have a backup library... maybe i can copy the album/faces files from there ?
    EDIT:
    The Photos.App shows that everything is up to date (Albums still not shown)
    Message was edited by: DaReelRigo

    Good luck.  I had duplicate albums created also, but am also missing a lot of pictures which do not sync over to other devices or to the web based Photos.  I have deleted the Photo library and forced it to import from iPhoto a second time, but the same pictures are missing and have even more duplicate albums.  Fortunately I am not doing this with my primary photo library so I can just delete everything and go back to iPhoto.
