Box Sets

I have several box sets imported to iTunes. I am having no luck getting them to play in the correct order, i.e. Disc One then Disc Two, etc. Any advice? I have tried the compilation and sorting options but with no success.
Thank you.

Different things to try
1. Make sure disc numbers are entered correctly under get info. i.e. 1 of 2, 2 of 2
2. Add disc number to album title in tags as appropriate.
I have used both for different albums.

HT201322 Is it possible to buy a TV box set on iTunes but only download one season at a time

I cannot afford to use up all the space it would take to download four seasons of a tv box set. Is there a way I can purchase the box set but only store locally one season at a time?

I misunderstood you. I thought you had a link to a mini-DVI to HDMI cable. That's why I asked for the link.
You can use the adapter you linked to and get a DVI to HDMI cable locally and it will work for you.
Sorry about the confusion on my part.

If I purchase a box set of iLife and just install the iDVD component on my new iMac should I be able to make a DVD in the format that plays on a TV DVD?

When I recently purchased my first iMac I was disappointed to find that there was no DVD making facility. I want to make a video of photo's and movie clips and then make a DVD that will play on a TV DVD player. I am thinking of purchasing a box set of iLife that includes iDVD and just installing the iDVD component. Can someone please confirm that tyhis will work? If not any suggestions?

If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

Up Grade from Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard (Box Set)

I have a two part Question:
Do I have to do a full install or can I perform a partial install and not to up grade to snow leopard using the Box Set. I read stories the snow Leopard up grade is having issues with certain older programs (i.e. Photo shop, Word etc...) Is this true?
I assume the best method to install would be a Clean and Install or is there another way that it's done? The reason I need to up grade is because of my new modem -Airport Extreme, which requires Leopard.
Thank for your insight..

[Here is a thread describing a successful upgrade install from Tiger to Sno.|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2185421&tstart=125] And, here are my thoughts about moving from Tiger to Sno. I recommend that you use the upgrade method if your Tiger install is a very good one. Otherwise, I would do an erase and install. The backup process I would use in either case is described below.
Your Mac must meet [these general requirements|http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html]. I would not upgrade to SL unless I had an external drive with a bootable clone of my internal-drive boot volume on it. I think that there is enough risk upgrading to SL that such conservatism is warranted. I would not use time machine for an installation backup; I don't trust it enough. If you do not like SL, then you can restore your internal using the clone. In doing an upgrade install, the clone is your data backup and fail-safe device. You can clone with Disk Utility, SuperDuper, or Carbon Copy Cloner. If you do an erase and install, then the clone also is your migration medium.
An upgrade install is performed by installing over your existing installation from the desktop or having started from your SL DVD. Doing so requires you to have a GUID partition. To proceed, start the installer, choose your language, start Disk Utility, make sure your partition is GUID, quit disk utility if it is and continue your installation. All your data, users settings, and apps will be present after your upgrade, except that incompatible programs will be archived in the Incompatible Software folder. It the partition is not GUID, then you will have to do an erase and install.
If you do an erase and install, then make sure your partition is GUID as described above. After you install, then you will be able to use set up assistant to migrate you data, apps, users, and settings to your new SL install. Also, if you have to make your partition GUID, then your drive will automatically be erased Mac extended (journaled). Finally, post back if you choose to do an erase and install. I have more info to provide.
You probably will want to install at least two of the optional install items on your Sno DVD, Rosetta and QT7. You can install either from the Optional Install Items folder on your on SL install DVD.
Leave your Ethernet cable, if any, in place when installing, but unplug all peripherals except those needed to install.

How do I update to Pages 5.0 is I got Pages through the Mac Box Set they used to have?

I do not want to buy iWork or iLife just because the new update came out. How do I update to Pages 5.0 is I got it through Apple's old Box Set deal?

Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

How can I sort and break out a boxed set download

I recently downloaded one of iTunes' full compilations - various artists, 75 songs in total.
There was also an option to buy smaller sets of these at about 20+ songs per individual set, but I went for it all.
Maybe this is too anal, but I was hoping to burn the 75 onto audio CDs in their order/mix of the smaller sets that iTunes had offered. I don't see how I can do that since all I have is 75 songs added to my library on a certain date with no other useful identifier to help segregate them. The track listings and disk # listings apparently only refer to each song's original artist's album (not the iTunes compiled albums).
This box set isn't offered anymore - at least I can't find it (Valentine's Day - Complete Box Set) so I can't tell how the songs were broken out into their smaller sets.
Am I asking for too much, or is there a way to sort these in their intended order that iTunes had set up?
15 FP iMac 800mhz Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1gb RAM; 60gb intl/250gb extl HD
15 FP iMac 800mhz Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1gb RAM; 60gb intl/250gb extl HD
15 FP iMac 800mhz Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1gb RAM; 60gb intl/250gb extl HD

I was mainly looking for an easier way of setting up separate playlists to burn the CDs and not have to select & drag individual songs myself manually. The way they're listed now in my iTunes library is alphabetically by song name, even if I sort by "Date Added".
As for their original order, I've seen iTunes sell compilations like these in subsets such as: "Starter Set", "From Deep in the Vault", "Rarities" or similar categories. If the Music Store had a sales reason to segregate them into specific albums, I assumed (incorrectly) that they would stay in their own 'Albums' once I downloaded them all at once.
Guess I'll just start dragging songs A thru Z over to new playlists and call it good. I appreciate the reply.

Getting error message when attempting to download the beatles box set itunes lp

I am getting an error message when downloading the beatles box set/iTunes lp. States the file isn't there. please advise.

Hi,
   First of all, you have to identify the scheduler server in case you have a multiserver installation.(Server Managr->Options->Server options). Then you have to follow the steps:
1. Go on Scheduler server, open Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks and delete all the jobs starting with DM_<appset>*
2. Run the query into the appset sql db:
    delete from tblSchedule
You can run the steps by application as well(if you have problem only for a specific application):
1. delete all jobs starting with DM_<appset>_<application>*
2. delete from tblSchedule where App='<application>'
Best regards,
Mihaela

How do I listen to just one album in a box set?

If I load a large box set of CDs into iTunes, I seem to have one of two choices for how to click 'play'. One is to click the master play button, which starts the box set on CD1, track1. The other is to click on one of the tracks in the box set - usually track1 if I want to hear that particular CD. The problem is that neither of these options allows me to listen to one CD by itself - with iTunes stopping after the CD is finished. It just rolls into the next CD and keeps playing.
Album view is cool in that it plays an album just like a CD - ie, iTunes stops after the album is done.
But the box set feature doesn't seem to allow this. Wherever you click from, it will play through to the end of the box set.
Has anyone figured out how to play just one CD in iTunes when it's part of a large box set?

Thanks for the reply, Curt. Sounds like you're aware of what I'm saying and that you're not aware of a way to do it either. Yep, I know about changing the album name and then having all 40 different albums from a boxed set in album view, all with the same artwork. That doesn't work for me.
I don't think boxset-view (or whatever we call it) is really effective unless there is both a master play button at the top of iTunes to play through the whole box ... AND dedicated play buttons next to each album - which will allow each album to be heard individually.
That, to me, is a common-sense feature that's long overdue. I guess there are not enough boxset users for iTunes developers to make that a priority.
I was just asking if anyone knew how to do it ... some button I'm not aware of or something.

How do you display TV programs in Box sets?

Is it possible to display TV programs and films as Box Sets?
For example, in the library below, Friends and Futurama were purchased as a box set but Friends takes up 10 icons when it should only need 1 icon that expands out when double clicked. Can this be done in iTunes? Seems like a very obvious ommission if it's not! Similarly with film box sets like the James Bond collection and Star Wars 1 - 6 etc.

You can merge Seasons of a TV Show by removing all the season numbers, but make sure the episodes have alphabetically ordered episode IDs of the form s01e01 before you do so.
For Films the only option is to change them into a TV Show.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the Nokia camera app.

Iwork 09 box set asking for serial

hi there folks can anyone help with this one....????
I was using the trial of iwork 09 and liked it and decided to buy the box set from the shop, got home uninstalled the trial (which had 10 days left) and proceeded to install the the full version. install went fine until i tried to open pages and it was asking for a serial no.
any ideas???
thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
There are many, many posts on this subject in this forum. It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This has changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.

Template to create a 3D box set of books

I'm looking for a template to create a 3D boxed set of books with the cover on the right side and three spines to the left. There was a really nice tutorial on how to do it on YouTube and the woman had the templates available for 99 cents on Amazon Kindle but of course, her website doesn't work and there's no templates. ( [removed link] ) I just need a simple template to drop the spines and front cover in. Can anyone help me?

I recently came across a free action for this called 3-D Box Generator by Art Bees
3D Box generator for Photoshop | PSD Box
Simple and works great!

I don't have a good good disc for the mac box set can i get it with it my serial no.

I don't have a good good disc for the mac box set can i get it with it my box number?

If this is a new box you just bought ad the disk is bad, Apple will replace it for you. OTOH, if you have lost the disk or it has become damaged over time, that is your responsibility, and though I don't speak for Apple, I'd be very surprised if you had any option other than buying another copy.

HT201335 When I mirror my iPad to my TV, the screen is not "filled" It appears to be in "box" setting(4:3)...why is that?

When I mirror my iPad to my TV, the screen is not "filled" It appears to be in "box" setting(4:3)...why is that?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
You may wish to try each of the settings in settings > AirPlay > Adjust for Overscan for the best setting that suits you.

Box Set Download

Hello
I love your box sets but could we please get a button that downloads an entire seris in one rather than having to do each episode individually. Also can you stop the pop up that says when a download is available, its pretty annoying.

Yep - being able to download a whole series would be great. Something that's been asked for plenty of times, but as yet Sky don't seem to be listening - about time they did imo. Thanks very much for the info regarding download notification. Didn't know you could do that!
