Changing play back order on ITunes

Can anyone tell me how to change itnes so it does not put music all music in alphabetical order
Thanks

You have to remember that iTunes has two different functions. It is a multimedia archive and a player. For the archive function, alphabetical works great. For the player, not so much. If you don't like to play alphabetical order when playing straight from the Music llst, you can just make your own playlists. In a playlist, you can set any order you like, just by drag and drop. You can even have songs play multiple times. You are in total control.

How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes? The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

It sounds like you might have the shuffle button at the bottom left of the iTunes (the button with the squiggly lines).
If that's not the case, then maybe you just need to sort your library by album by clicking the album tab at the top.
Is your music in a playlist, or are you trying to play it from the entire library?

How do I change the chapter order in itunes 11.0.4?

How do I change the chapter order in itunes 11.0.4? The book chapters used to look like the playlists in music. You could ;change how it was sorted by the name time, artist etc. Now there isn't a catagory label and the background is the same color as the background of the book photo.

Someone else in the forum told me how to do this. If you have Onyx on your system then select Parameters, iTunes and turn off high contrast mode. If you don't have Onyx, I'd suggest getting it. It is freeware and used to help maintain your system. Good luck

Playing back music on Itunes stays on 0.00 and counter does not move

Hi When I try to play any music in Itunes the counter stays at zero 0.00 and does not move along. I found this thread which best describes my problem so appears to affect quite a few others: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1205504&start=30&tstart=0 however I have tried all the possible solutions discussed on there without success. My operating system is XP Pro. This has happened several times in the past and quite frustrating (only a reboot normally fixes it but there has to be a reason why this keeps happening). Music and video plays fine on other media players (same as users in the thread attached). My wife's Itunes also does it and she is running Vista on her laptop. By the way I have the latest Itunes updates/versions etc and have also tried restoring to earlier backups - all without success. It was playing fine the other day with exactly the same updates just not today. Thank you for any help.

Same here, only it will sync, but extremely slow!

Can you change the song order in iTunes?

I imported an album from my hard drive to iTunes but the songs are showing up out of order and I don't want to import the live album to my iPod in the wrong order. I've checked the info on all of the tracks and everything is correct.
How do I get the songs back into their proper order before importing to my iPod?

but

order
before importing to my iPod?
This is what I would do. Enter the album name in the
search bar in iTunes. Once all the tracks show up
and if they are still out of order, click the Album
tab and that should put them in proper order. Then
once that is done, hook up your iPod, select all
album tracks, and then drag to your iPod. That
should solve your problem. Let me know if this works
or does not work.
I actually was able to solve this myself. I highlighted all of the songs, and went to get info. I then made sure they were all of the same album (they were when I imported them). Once I entered the album name in the required field, the songs snapped into their original order (which is crucial when listening to a live album!).
Thanks for your help though.

Re-arranging a play back order in a video playlist

I have a series of video clips established in a video playlist. As I add these clips to the playlist I realized that I want to re-arrange the sequential order these clips play within the playlist. So far it appears that this cannot be done. I thought I present the question to ensure that I have not missed a step. Any advice?

Hmmm, this is cryptic, but from your topic "Song Play Order in a new playlist" I'll guess at your question and answer as follows: In the playlist click above the column of numbers, to the left of the word "Name," so that you see a little black triangle there. Then you can drag individual songs up or down to get the order you want.

Strange play back issue with iTunes.

Playing songs from my PC the chosen song plays fine to a conclusion, but then jumps to another song as if switched to 'shuffle' which it isnt. The following songs are always the same. There doesn't appear to be any thread between them they are just always the same and they are songs I rarely if ever play so I can't understand why. I've checked all the controls and all seems fine. My Ipod seems to work fine and will play a whole album without problems. I have xp on the PC and am using iTunes 10. Can anyone help?

Greetings Rusty,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
This may or may not help, but;
Try selecting the songs that are starting at random parts during the file.
Right-click on the selected file and select "Get Info".
If the "Start Time" for the track is not set to "0", then set it to "0".
Click "OK".
Does this help?
Kind regards,
Peter.

Changing Sort order in iTunes

I need to change the sort order in iTunes, pretty much like clicking on the browser header until the sort is "album by artist". Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

Took me a long time to get past the inconsistencies that Accessibility Inspector was revealing in iTunes. I finally ran a verify in Accessibility Verifier and discovered some inaccurate reporting in the Inspector. This works. Figured I would share it.
If things are changed to "Album", it will not do more than re-sort that column. It will not change the Album by... setting. I hope I can figure that out.
-- This will ensure that the artist column is sorted in ascending order
tell application "System Events"
tell process "iTunes"
--read sort of grouping column
set groupSort to (get value of attribute "AXSortDirection" of button "Artist" of group 1 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1)
-- click button to select artist column if necessary
if (groupSort = "AXUnknownSortDirection") then
click button "Artist" of group 1 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1
end if
-- set to ascending if necessary
if (groupSort = "AXDescendingSortDirection") then
click button "Artist" of group 1 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1
end if
end tell
end tell

Gapless play back and itunes auto art question

How do you know that albums are suppose to be Gapless? I assume that you just have to know.
I have some albums that won't retrieve artwork from itunes store yet and the Cd's are in the store. Is there anyways to fix this?
Also do you know any good site for organizing and maintaining your itunes.
Thanks a bunch

My understanding is that iTunes automatically detects if your albums are gapless or not. Gapless CDs that I've ripped have remained gapless when played back in both iTunes and my Nano.
You can manually set albums to gapless by selecting all the tracks in that album, pressing CMD-I and setting the Gapless option.

Playing Imported Audio Books - tracks won't play in order - why?

I import a lot of Audio Book CDs into my iPod Touch for convenience.
The problem is that although the tracks import in order, are correctly named and play in order from iTunes on the PC they almost never play in order on my IPod Touch, Ipod Classic or iPhone.
The Ipod just seems to shuffle playing order. I have disabled shuffle. The iPod is not automatically shuffling due to shaking.
How do I get the tracks to play in the correct orderr.

Here are some hints and guidelines for labeling and organizing audiobooks in iTunes.
Click on the first file of the audiobook imported files list. Press and hold down the “Shift” key while doing so. While you continue to hold this key down, press the down arrow on your keyboard repeatedly until all of the files (chapters) for the first audiobook are selected. At the last file of the first audiobook, click your left mouse button once. You will see all the files from the first to last file highlighted.
Go back into the “File” menu on iTunes and click on “Get Info.” This will bring up a menu of settings you can apply to the highlighted files. Click on the “Options” tab in the settings menu that appears. Make sure the media type is selected as “audiobook.” Next to “Remember position” the option of “Yes” should be indicated.
Next you’ll want to properly label the audiobook audio files. Click on the “Info” tab and fill out relevant information you want to include on the filenames for easy access. Under “album name” put the name of the book and under “artist name” put the name of the author.
Save the settings. Click on “Audiobooks” in the long left hand side menu in iTunes. This should be in the upper left hand area. You will see a list of your newly renamed audiobook files to the right hand side.
Right click on each file individually starting with the first file of the audiobook. Click “Get Info” and under the “Name” section enter “Chapter 01” and repeat this process for each track going in order changing the chapter number by one number higher each time. Chapters 1 through 9 must have a zero before the primary number such as Chapter 01 and Chapter 09.
When you are finished the audiobook will not only be in the proper track order which allows you to play the chapters in order, but the audiobook will be labeled and easy to find.

Back order process solution

Hi SAP Guru's,
How can you redefine the back order process?.. this is particular for returns oders, because it is open sales orders. so it is difficult to identify them.
looking for a comprehensive solution.
Thanks In Advance.

Hey DB49 and Other Guru's,
The scenario and requirement is given below,
1.     If we are creating delivery for sales order again. (Already created invoice or delivery previously). Those are Back Orders.
2.     But we are unable to identify the back orders. Because those are open orders. New orders also consider by system as open orders.
3.     All orders want to reject after delivery creation. (Except customized orders)
a.     We are using Mass sales order change.
4.     When we re-invoicing the back orders;
o     If that sales order was rejected one, we want to remove the material rejection ITEM-wise. This wants to do manually one by one for each ITEM.
o     Then we want to allocate the goods to ITEM-wise. (Confirm the quantities for delivery creation). This wants to do manually one by one for each ITEM.
o     Then change the sales order date. Because if there are price change we want to invoice new invoice in new prices.
o     Then we change the credit term of sales order. Because we want to reduce credit period for referring sales order gave date.
o     Then we check the 01st day (order entering date) discount percentage. System will automatically give new discount percentage for back orders. But new discount rate & previous discount rate not match. So we need put manual discount rate for differentiation. Sometimes discounts are matching, at that time we are not putting manual discounts for back orders. Sometimes back order discount is larger than previous discount percentage. At that time we are unable to process these type orders.
o     After that we are creating delivery documents for back orders as normally.
o     Finally get the Invoices and deliver the goods to relevant customers.
     Requirements for change the back order system;
o     Want to identify the discount percentage in initial stage. Itu2019s fixed & not changing in back order processing time. (If we are change the pricing date or credit term, it is not effected to order discount percentage.)
o     In the rejected back order processing time, want to release the back order material rejection one time. Using one transaction. Currently this is doing one by one for each material.
o     And we need allocate goods (Conform the goods for delivery) once (we need one transaction) to all the materials in the back order. Currently this is doing one by one for each material.
o     If we can do these changes in SAP system for back order processing, we can reduce errors in to zero level. And the processing time of back orders also reducing. But if there are any variations in the material stocks, it is effected to back orders time to time processing.
     Suggestions;
o     System change is required.
o     We need to consider about market demand & production supply for complete the orders.
o     All orders want a time period for complete. (Need to discus with Sales team).

Retrive the Back Orders for OM through SQL Query

Hi,
When I am creating an order in the Order Management module and manually changing them to back-orders after pick release has been done , line status changes to awaiting shipment but when i click on the actions buttton --> Additional Line Information --> Delivery status tab , the pick status is shown to be backordered . I want to write a query to retrieve the information about the orders where pick status is backordered.
Can you suggest the tables i should check in order to retrieve the information for these orders where picked status is 'Backordered'.
If anyone has any doubt in the query posted please reply back i will try to clarify them
Thanks
Ashwini

Back order situation happens at
1. Pick release time
2. at ship confirm
Only the delivery detail status changes to Back ordered, no change to order line.
you need to join the delivery details for an order line to get the backorder lines.
wsh_delivery_details.
you may have multiple DD for a single SO line.
