Compilations on my iphone

Hi All,
I am having a real issue with compilations and would greatly appreciate some help. I have an album where the artist has a couple of songs with guest artists and these are not showing up in my phone. So, to fix this I selected the album, went to Get Info and selected all the songs as part of a compilation. I then synched the phone but nothing changed, the songs are still missing and the album is not showing up in the compilations folder. Any thoughts on what could be going wrong here?

I have found the same problem topic with some pictures. If it's helps.

I can't view artists name under title in compilations on my iphone

I am trying to find out a solution, but seems it's not solved yet.
On my Mac in iTunes my music collections is ordered by albums and compilations. All songs has a right tags. Albums has a Artists, Album Artists, Titles. Compilations has a check box Part of Compilation, Artist name, Title and Artist Album field are filed with Various Artists. But for some compilations I have deleted Album Artist just for experiment.
At iTunes all looks great, I have albums and compilation in that order what I want. But in my iPhone and iPad a cant see artist name under the songs title. It's uncomfortable and not user friendly as for me. Sure it's not an issue in albums when you have an one Artist and one his Album. But in compilation it's very complicated to find some tracks by title.
Please if you have any thoughts about how to view artists names in compilation under the tracks help me.
Thank you in advance.

CFHTTPMessageRef compilation error in iphone

I used to have an application that uses CFHTTPMessageRef. It compiled and run fine on the simulator.
Now that I upgraded to the last SDK, it is failing to even compile. It is complaining on CFHTTPMessageRef even though I am including CFNetwork.frameworks.
Did anything change regarding CFHTTPMessageRef? What framework lib should I include?
Thanks

Not sure about the Excel error. However, to create a PDF from OFFICE 10 with AA9, you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer.

IPhone 4s sorting music by Album Artist? Applies to Compilations?

I was scrolling through my iPhone looking for a song, I saw an artist listed as "Hit Singles (1980-1990)". Clicking on it netted me a song by Genesis from their album of the same name. Which made me curious, so I scrolled again and found another "artist" that was, in fact, the name of the album in question. A Jackson 5 track that I've not been able to find on my iPhone is listed in iTunes as by the Jackson 5 with the Album Artist of "Various Artists"
So I'm mucking about in iTunes and finding that this applies to a lot of compilations and trying to correct some of this nets me an artists listing that seems to willfully skip over the artists on those compilations. As in (and this is a crappy example):
Beach Boys
Beastie Boys
Various Artists [being a Beastie Boys song on a soundtrack]
Beatles.
And choosing Various Artists gets me a list of all the compilations on my iPhone, which is... awkward at best, frustrating at worst. I've never had this problem on any other iPod. What's going on and how can I fix this apart from trying to correct a metric ton of incomplete data acquired over the past several years?

Hello,
As far as I can see, you can't sort the order of music on the iPod Touch. It is always sorted alphabetically.
Maybe you can suggest that as a feature to Apple.

Album Art Sorting incorrectly in Compilations/Albums iphone Music App listing/tab

Album Art Sorting incorrectly in Compilations/Albums iphone Music App listing/tab
Sounds like a mouthful, but basically im saying that I have a bunch of compilations that when displayed in itunes on my pc,
show the album art which is set for the first track. This is to be expected.
But when i upload the compilations to my iPhone 5, and i open up the Music app and select the compilations tab...
The same compilations show another album art that is actually associated with another track in the compilation.
When i looked for a pattern, i found that it would basically take the album art from the track in the compilation based on the artists name in reverse alphabetical order.
So if i had album art associated with every track in the compilation, normally it would show in the listing the album art of the first track... but now it was actually the album art of the artist name starting closest to the letter z.
I've tested this many times. very annoying. but to explain again...
If i have a compilation containing artists from Coldplay to Ziggy Marley... no matter where in the listing Ziggy Marley is listed first to last... it will display the Album art associated to Ziggy Marley in the List view for the Compilations or Albums tab in the Music app on an iPhone 5.
Normally you would expect it to show the album art associated with the first track in the listing as it does in Itunes so as to keep uniformity between what you upload in iTunes and what you see in the Music app on the iPhone.
THIS IS A BUG APPLE!!!... test it for yourselves... someone broke your db sorting in the new itunes. ITunes 11, with iPhone 5
Please fix!
Thank you kindly...

another note... when i select the album from the list (on the iphone, in the music app) and it slides over to show all tracks in the compilation...
it then shows the proper album art as it should.
Also, when i check cover flow it then shows another incorrect cover?

Song and Artist display differently in landscape mode (iPod on iPhone)

I have a CD Compilation *50 Best Songs Ever*. When I play any song from this Compilation on my iPhone, if I turn the phone to landscape mode the Artist defaults back to the Artist on the 1st track, but if I turn the phone back to upright mode the Artist shows correctly.
This is a CD Compilation of various artists, and the only one it seems to happen to.
Any thoughts?

No, the OP is correct, there is some sort of funky bug here. I have noticed it too. To the extent that it is almost comical. In portrait view the song/artist/album artist/album art are all correct; then switch to landscape view and you get a comical mix of songs from different artists, wrong album art (from first one in list) and the name of the song and artist are wrong, and inconsistent with what is playing. Rotate back to portrait view and all is good again.
It is at best a minor inconvenience, and I love my shuffle anyhow, so the randomness of it is sort of fun/funny.
But it is definitely a bug.

Help to get my iPhone App to iTunes Connect Flash Packager

help to get my iPhone App to iTunes Connect Flash Packager
i have problem
only with Flash Packager i have problem
form Xcode working fine no problem
Application Loader show me this
Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid or it was not signed with an apple submission certificate

Did you create the correct mobile provisioning profile and distribution certificate?
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/iphone/index.html
Go there, expand "Compiling and debugging iPhone applications" and then "Compiling an iPhone application installer (IPA) file".
Make sure you are creating the *distribution* files and not development if you trying to submit this to the app store.

ID3 tags won't change...

Hi everyone,
i've a problem with my mp3 tags, i'm trying to organize my library trough updating the ID3 tags but it won't work.
For example, I've 2 artists: ACDC and AC/DC, when I change the info artist into ACDC, it won't change anything and i'll still have both names aperaing.
Worse, on some compilation, in my iphone, the album nam will appear as many times as there is songs... if I've 20 songs in an album called "Compilation 1" for example, the album "Compilation 1" will appear 20 times in my iphone list...
any idea?
thanks

No removing the program won't do anything to your music. After you reinstall itunes first try copying a few songs to default location on your internal HD, and see if problem still exists (make sure iTunes is pointed to it) THEN reestablish the external,
PS: I forgot to ask Does your iTunes Prefs > Advanced Tab show the correct path to your media folder? Do you have the "Copy files to Media Folder when adding... " checked?
Warning: I don't know about iTunes Match: but I would definitely turn off all Automatic updating (everywhere iTunes, iPhone etc ) while you're messing with this.

IPad development in flash

Hi,
I'm having trouble with building iOS applications in flash. I just bought an iPad and want to start building apps for it. I hav done simple apps for iPhone before but nothing too fancy. The problem is, I can build it and compile it fine but when I try to install on my device it comes up with the error saying:
"ITunes: 'APPNAME' failed to install."
I can compile it as an iPhone app and it works fine. I'm pretty sure I've got my provisioning right because I have both my iPhone and iPad devices added. Anyone got any ideas of why my apps only work while I compile them as iPhone apps?
Thanks

If you've built 2 separate apps, one for each device, be sure you go back in provisioning portal and check your certificate. A certificate (p12) is associated with an app, so when you add a new app, your certificate needs to be regenerated to include support for it. You can't just use the same p12 with a new app without it or you can get that error.
Otherwise after you produce your IPA, open it up and take a look inside (rename it to .zip, uncompress). If you're on a Mac it's very easy. You want to keep uncompressing the app until you can look internally at the mobileprovision to be absolutely sure your device is supported.
Also make sure you include iPad as a supported device in your XML. iPhone/iPod is family 1, iPad is 2. So your XML InfoAdditions it should say: <![CDATA[<key>UIDeviceFamily</key><array><string>1</string><string>2</string></array>]]>

AIR for iOS URL string problem

This is a very strange runtime error, that accurs on iOS devices but does not appear, when compiled on the AIR compiler
I have an input text field movieSearch.pName.text, in which you can enter a value for a JSON URL search.
On an iOS device it cannot load the URL request. when the text value is passed like this:
var req:String = movieSearch.pName.text;
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=%22+'+req+'+%22&api_key=****************');
I have tried writing a value manually in the code, and this works fine:
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=%22+matrix+%22&api_key=****************');
or
var req:String = "Matrix";
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=%22+'+req+'+%22&api_key=****************');
These 2 examples work, but the first example does not. Why is it so? Does anyone have a clue?

A sample project is something like this:
import flash.data.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
import com.adobe.serialization.json.JSON;
var movieSearch:TextField = new TextField();
var resultField:TextField = new TextField();
var searchButton:SimpleButton = new SimpleButton();
addChild(movieSearch);
addChild(resultField);
addChild(searchButton);
searchButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, simpleJSON);
function simpleJSON(e:MouseEvent) {
                    var i:int;
                    var req:String = movieSearch.text;
                    var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=%22+'+req+'+%22&api_key=******************* ******');
                    var myLoader = new URLLoader();
                    myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onload);
                    myLoader.load(myRequest);
                    function onload(evt:Event):void {
                              var myData:Object = JSON.parse(myLoader.data);
                              var resultCount:int = myData.results.length;
                              for (i=0; i < myData.results.length; i++) {
                                        resultField.appendText(myData.results[i].original_title);
I am using Flash Professional CS5.5 with AIR 3.2, and tested the compiled project on iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1
The result field does not show anything on the device, but shows everything correcly in Flash.

Get camera roll in chronological order

Is there a way to ensure that Camera Roll sorts photos in chronological order? Obviously, the shots I take on my iPhone itself are in the right order, but ones that I import into Camera Roll from other sources (shared Photostreams, my other iDevices, edited on my iMac etc) appear in the order in which I save them to Camera Roll, which creates a random and rather useless compilation. Thanks

My iPhone 4 camera roll decides to rebuild the library every once in a while and everytime this happens, it moves my most refer pictures and places them some where in the middle of the camera roll, making my last pictures I took with my 3Gs the most recent ones showing at the bottom. Small inconvenience but it looks like someone at Apple screwed up in setting up the sequence numbering of these pix and now it's a pain for the end users.
Has anyone experience the same issue and been able to successfully solve the problem? Please help.
Thanks

Why Do I have Two Identical folders in my music Library?

Hi.
I have a music folder with 1200 songs.
I created a single compilation on itunes (ver.11) and everything was ok until i decided to put that compilation folder to my iPhone 5.
Now I have 2 folders of the same compilation on my iphone music app. The songs was not splitted in the 2 folders: every folder has the same number of tracks (1200 songs).
Itunes copied the music on my iPhone but it didn't copied the files twice, cuz i have checked the amount of space on my iPhone.
I think it depends on how many songs are in the same folder.
someone can tell me the max number of song on the same folder?
I tried to split the folder in 2 with 600 song but i got the same prob: 1 folder was ok, the other folder with ALL music track from the 2 different folders! (I name the folders (Best Of 01, and Best Of 02).
Any ideas?
Someone know how to fix this? I just want 1 folder and not 2 identical folders!
(sorry for my bad english: i dunno if I write everything in a proper way)

It may be "normal" but it is not acceptable.
Lets say I have four folders that I sync from my PC to my iPhone. iTunes then creates four folders on my iPhone with the actual photos and presumbaly the same folder names that are on my PC. Then iTunes creats another folder with pointers to all the photos, well the synced photos, not the camera roll. (Why not the camera roll too if this is such a great feature) Yes I am so dumb that I can't figure out which folder has the picture I want (even though my folder names are descriptive of the contents; Family, Friends, Work, Hot Dude's) so I go to this catch all folder to find my picture.
All it is is CLUTTER, this, like so many other bugs (poor features), should be left to the user to decide, not Apple. I don't want it there and I defenitely don't need it there.

Fixed height, none fixed width

I have an object which needs to be fixed in the same part of the screen (so that it does not move when the screen is scrolled)
the page is designed with a vertical blank column so that the object is always in this column but no content ever gets moved in behind it.
my page uses a wrapper div which is centered using margin left+right:auto;
the problem is if I use position:fixed I also have to fix the objects left property.
however because the main content is centered the correct left value (in ether px of %) is different for each user depending on the browser resolution.
and obviously when i use position:relative the object does not stay fixed in the same part of the screen when the user scrolls.
Is it possible to fix this problem without resorting to javascript?
If i do have to use javascript would the best way be to use window.innerwidth to determine the window width, calculate the correct left value of the object, print this into the document using getelementby('ID').innerHTML and put the whole lot in a function that is constantly triggered by setinterval (so that it stays correct even if the users resizes the window)
yes i did just say i would use getelementby('ID').innerHTML and not getelementby('ID').style, i use this as a work arround for IE not working when you set/change the style in this way.

iPhone and other apple i devices do not support flash but can do so by packaging the flash as an app for these devices, (a little more complex than that, but!).
The improvements to DW CS5.5 include the jQuery-mobile framework which enables you to produce a mobile friendly web site that also supports these devices, without having to package them as an app. You do not require CS5.5 to use the jQuery-mobile framework though, see - http://jquerymobile.com/.
PZ
Thats not what i meant
with flash you have to compile your work when you have finished.
two options which have existed for a long time are to compile to a SWF file so that it can be embeded in a HTML document and compileing to a file which acts like an EXE file that can run directly within windows.
in flash CS5 you can compile flash programs as iphone applications.
these are not flash files which the iphone is not able to run by default, these are programs compiled for the iphone as an aplication which were created useing AS3
my question was
are the updates in cs5.5 anything more than a HTML equivilant of the function cs5 introduced for flash?
and
has flash been upgraded let developers compile their aplications for other devices such as android devices?

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem:
Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
Thanks for your help

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.
