"Artists by Album" column display for iPod (in iTunes 7) doesn't work

I'm a big fan of the "Artists by Album" column option in iTunes 7, as it helps me to keep my single-artist albums and compilation albums well-sorted and separated from each other. Love it lots; it's my favorite way to view my rather large music collection.
However...I just bought an 80gb iPod, and when I sync it to my iTunes and try to view its catalog of songs using the "Artists By Album" column, I get this weirdly disordered list of songs. I can't exactly figure out what the sorting method is, but it seems to have something to do with track and disc numbers.
I get pretty much the same result in when I view my iPod's music library through using the "Albums by Year" column option. Are these two column sorts not supported by the 5G iPods? do I just have to settle for straight "Artist" or "Album" sorts for the time being?
I tried to dig up some explanation for this but haven't found anything that helps either in Apple support or these forums. Any ideas/info would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Unfortunately, there is no "Artists by Album" feature for the iPod. You can suggest it here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html. Hope you can live with only Album and Artist! At least for the time being...

  • Wrong album art displaying for songs on my iPod Classic.

    I am having a problem with my 160GB classic iPod. (6th gen. I believe, it's the first 160GB iPod to be released.)
    It doesn't happen a lot, but I noticed wrong album art displaying for my songs on my iPod. Then when I check in itunes, the album art is correct. Also, I manually manage my music and videos. So when I check the album art from my ipod's hard-drive through itunes, the album art is correct as well.
    I believe the problem happens when the iPod itself tries to find the album art images for the current song being played. It somehow gets jumbled and puts up a random album art image instead of the one it is supposed to.
    One thing i noticed is this. Lets say I shuffle all my songs. Once I get up to a song with wrong album art, I skip pass it lets say about 5-10 songs, then I go back to it. The album art often corrects itself, and the right album art is displayed.
    I looked around the forums here and see that other people are having similar problems with different kinds of iPods. Maybe it's a firmware issue?

    I'm having the exact same issue on my iPod Classic. Haven't used this forum before - do experts provide feedback, or do we just hope that another user can suggest a cure? I haven't reformatted my iPod yet - huge pain, as I also manually manage my music - but will do that if no other solutions present themselves.

    Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:

    Take it up with the app developer first. If they won't respond then you can take it up with iTunes support.

    You'll get a message saying its your first purchase after installing Maverick.

  • Just upgraded to 6.1 but my iTunes password doesn't work for my restore

    Just backed up my iPhone4 in iTunes, transferred purchased items to my iTunes library, and then updated the IOS to 6.1.  Now iTunes is giving me the option to restore from my backup, but it wants a password, and my iTunes password doesn't work!  I was never asked for a new password for by backup so I'm very surprised my iTunes password doesn't work.  I just logged into this forum with my iTunes password so I know it is still active.  Anyone have any ideas of what I should do next?  Thanks!

    I was wrong --- turns out I did create a password long ago for my first backup, different than my iTunes password, and fortunately I was able to remember it.  The restore worked fine once I gave it the password that it wanted.
