Changed artist name to 'last, first' and some don't sort by last.

I'm running iTunes 11.1.4.62 on Windows7 looking at songs sorted by artist.  I changed Eric Clapton to Clapton, Eric.  Three and only three of the songs are still sorting as if they start with "er".  One was purchaced on 6/9/2009 the other two on 10/10/2012 and some Clapton songs were purchaced or added before, after or between those dates.  What's happening? 

What did you change, the Artists field on the Info tab?
Try using the Sort Artist field on the Sorting tab:

    It may be best to recreate the folder and the smart playlists from scratch.

  • I have three different listings for Bob Seger on my iPod (bob Seger, Bob Seger System and Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band) How can I put all 3 in the same artist folder without changing artist name?

    Can you just create a new "Playlist", name it Bob Seger and drag what you want into the Playlist.

  • I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5.  I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone.  My operating system is Mavericks.

    launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
    And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

    PS you also need to update your profile - it states that you have OS X 10.6.8

  • Changing artists names in iTunes is very slow (1 minute per song) in compilation albums

    Changing artists names in iTunes is very slow (1 minute per song) in compilation albums. I am using iTunes 10.6.1 Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM 2.66 GHz Intel processor and my itunes library is 340GB. My new music is on the computer's hardrive (about 16GB) and the rest is in an external HD.
    It used to work great until I switched to the new version of iTunes (10.6.1) and now changing the artist field is very very very slow (1 minute per song in compilaton albums)
    What happened? Can someone help me?

    Thank you both!!!!!!  Especially you, Limnos for adding onto the terrific answer from leonieDF.  Yeah, I'm seldom willing to let the software do the driving all by itself.  <heh>  However, to date I've been too lazy to work with what is currently there - and needing to know how to customize the software was my first step.
    I'm finally going to reduce the enormous physical size of my cd collection - organizing and storing the jewel cases is too great a nightmare not to mention that it has turned my livingroom into nothing more than a visually overwhelming variety of storage devices--spinners being my favorite, but now mostly unavailable outside of yard sales.  Favorite disks I WILL keep to play in the car (no, my player is too old to have a USB port).
    I'm getting a 2T external drive to hold the accumulation - but before that, I wanted to find out HOW to organize things so that I can find them myself - old school.  My ITunes libraries go back many years, but I now want a good cohesive way to save the way that I want - not the way that is set up for me.
    Thank you both again very, very much!!

  • How do i change artist name in the iphone?

    So I downloaded a CD I got for christmas onto itunes and I changed the artists name on the album and when I put it on my iphone it didnt transfer and now it says unknown artist when I already have another album by the same person on my iphone. Please Help?

    Sounds like you didn't complete all of the needed tags in iTunes. Delete it from the phone, go back to itunes on your computer and make sure the Album artist is completed. Then resync.

  • How do you change your name of your phone?  I am having the horrible problem that my phoone doesn't work with my Bluetooth and it was recommended that aI change the name, among others things (that still don't work!)

    How do you change the name of your phone?  I am having that horrible problem of my phone suddenly not working (no audio) with my Bluetooth (apparently due to the most recent update) and nothing has worked thus far to try to restore it....some one recommended I change the name of my phone and then try to sync it with my car...

    Thank you...this was a suggestion from a blog regarding the Bluetooth problem that has resulted from the most recent upgrade---lost the audio capabilities suddenly in my car as have other people and there is nothing that Apple has had me do that has restored it!  I am not a very happy camper regarding this dilemma!  thank you for your help though!

    how to resolve unresolved column error when we change column name in BMM Layer and removed alias in presentation layer

    Looks like the presentation column got Alias before your BMM changes, so in your case renaming logical column and deleting alias is not good to go.
    Keep Alias

  • I followed the directions for changing the name of my iPad and it did so in iTunes but the old name remains on the actual iPad. How can I change the name on the iPad itself?

    I followed the directions posted in questions/answers for changing the name of my iPad and it changed the name in iTunes but not on the actual iPad. How can I change the name on the iPad too?

    On your iPad, go to settings, general, about and click on name then change it.
    I did it on my iPad with iOS 5, i dont know if it works on iOS 4.3.2

  • Can't sync all ringtones, some get sync, and some don't even though I clearly have them all checked.

    I've created my AAC file and then changed it to m4r mode and then I copied it back to the tones section of iTunes. Everything is fine at this stage. Then when I try to sync all my tones, some get sync and some don't even though I clearly have all of them checked. So I click the all tones box instead and sync, then other tones which previously have not been synced are synced and those that were synced previously do not get synced. I've tried everything, from making duplicates of songs to even deleting my tones and re-syncing. I've taken over an hour to sync and still unsuccessful. Why is it so complicated just to sync a few tones? Is apple trying to discourage customers from using custom ringtones and only those from the iTunes store? Im so ready to just throw my phone... It's so much easier to transfer tones over using an android phone since I dont have to use some stupid software by android and sync when i can just drag and drop.
    SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!
    Thanks in advance

    What fixed it for me:
    On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
    Uncheck "Sync Music"
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
    Let it run and finish
    Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
    Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
    Let it run and finish
    See if that doesn't work for you.  I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

  • ITunes 11.3 some things add to library and some don't

    I have iTunes 11.3.1 (2) (64 bit) and a Mackbook Pro 13" (early 2011 model) OS X 10.9.4. I moved my music, audiobooks, movies, podcasts, etc to a home server (Seagate Central) and created a new library. I was able to add my ring tones to iTunes as well as my audiobooks and about 600 of my songs. Some songs add and some don't. Doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason. I've imported m4a, mp3, m4p. The items that have imported and am trying to import come from the same iTunes Media/Music folder. I've tried adding both by folder and by individual file. I've also right-clicked a song and selected to open in iTunes and nada. I've also checked the Recently Added playlist and nothing is there as well. These same songs played when they were stored on my Macbook. I don't get it. I'll see a millisecond flash of the album but nothing happens. The only common factors I can see is that if it will let me play it in the finder it will let me add to iTunes. Also, it seems that 'older' stuff I added from CD from my older iPod days doesn't add. For kicks, I tried to copy and paste an album back to my MBP and it says I don't have permission but that happens with both ones that show up in the program and ones that don't. I'm the admin on both my laptop and the server. Grr. HELP!
    PS: When I use Seagate's remote site I can listen to songs that won't play in my Finder or add.

    I haven't seen this issue before but I have seen lots of posts here about issues with using iTunes with NAS.  General rule of thumb is iTunes is not guaranteed to play well with NAS.  For some it does, for others not.
    My understanding is NAS uses its own software to interface with the computer's software.  This could well have been designed with Windows in mind and the drive you are using may be formatted NTFS for Windows and iTunes is having to trust the software 100% for interfacing.  Perhaps your files have illegal characters for Windows naming convention.
    Remember the game where people sit in a long row and whisper a message from one end to the other, then compare the results which almost invariably have been garbled in transmission? That's iTunes and your files over NAS.
    Maybe some of this is iTunes fault but if you take this issue to an Apple Store I bet they will ask you why you aren't using a plain external hard drive.  If you use third party hardware then it is up to the vendor (who likely sells 95% to PC users) to ensure the interface works.

  • How come some of my JPG files show up broken and some don't in my assets panel?

    I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and when I create JPG files, some show up in the Assets panel of Dreamweaver and some don't.  I'm miffed as to why?  I've tried resaving them as JPGs to no avail.  When you try and insert the broken ones in Dreamweaver you just get the broken link box.  I've also tried to link to the source file to no avail.  So, please help!
    Dale

    Ben,
    Thanks for the video.  I learned some new stuff about the assets panel that I've been using.  However, the problem still remains.  Some of the JPGs that I've created in Photoshop CS6 show up fine and some don't.  The same happens with Illustrator.  I did find a workaround for this though.  If you open up the JPGs in Fireworks and create a slice over the image and then export the selected slice, it does show up in the assets panel unbroken.  So far it works every time.  I don't want keep going to Fireworks though.  Adobe needs to fix this problem.  In CS4, I never, ever had this problem.
    Thanks again Ben...

  • Only some movies I have placed in iTunes "Movies" are viewable via Apple TV.  Why?  Also some movies have blue dots in front of their titles and some don't . Why?

    Only some movies I have placed in iTunes "Movies" are viewable via Apple TV.  Why?  Also some movies have blue dots in front of their titles and some don't . Why?

    Please understand I am a frustrated customer like you,  , but the availability of movies that have been shown before is dependant on licencing from the rights owners. Sky quite rightly have to pay the film studios for the ability to show to Sky's customers. As I understand it they purchase the right for a period of time, hence when the right expires then it has to be removed. The costing of the movies does reflect on the anticipated popularity of the programme, hence an older less popular movie might seem expensive but if not many people watch and pay that would be right. The apparent silliness of having movies in the store and on demand, allows those people who do not have a movie subscription to rent the movie on a one off basis. I agree that Sky seem to be licencing some programmes for shorter periods and it really upsets me when movies appear in buy and keep but not available to rent only. I recently queried Sky about Fortitude being available in OnDemand until 2022!, then of course found out that Sky owns the rights of the series. I can only say be careful if you are a movies subscriber and wish to watch a movie, not to select the Sky Store version if it is available in the Movies on Demand section. I recently wanted to watch a film that I found in Sky store at a cost, and just to be sure I searched for it and found it was to be shown on Channel 4 in a few days. I don't think we'll ever understand how such decision are made as to how long they licence movies for and how the charging model works with the film studios. Logically you would think that a smallish fee to have available indefinately and to pay the studio fee based on the number of rentals would be better, but that might be difficult to administer and Sky would have to have extra server storage fees, which they outsource. Hope that help you understand
