Cower Flow Messing Up Albums

Hi, I've got the 8 GB 3G nano. And now a couple of days after I updated it to v. 1.0.2. some of my albums in Cover Flow have been re-aranged.
Every album is right ordered after artist until it comes to 3 Doors Down, wich should be the last artist in the library. BUT from there the 3 Doors Down albums are re-aranged this way: Away From The Sun, Away From The Sun Live Concert, The Better Life, Live in Las Vegas, Live VH1, Seventeen Days, Unknown... And then suddenly an album from the artist 55 Escape pops in, and then the 3 Doors Down album Another 700 Miles comes behind it ! This is NOT Alphabetical order as far as I know.
And after that albums from artist starting with the letteres (In this order) R-F-M-M-F-S-V-Y-L-G-S-C-D-S-S start poping up, even though the two last artist should be artist names starting with numbers ( in this case: 3 Doors Down and 55 Escape) !
What the heck is wrong ?
Apple PLEASE FIX THIS !
Thanks in advance

Hmmm. I haven't experienced this problem, but I DO hate having numbers last. In just about every sorting situation I can think of, numbers are always first...
Have you looked at the "Song Info" for these songs to see if there are hidden characters or something like that?

  • Cover flow - Sort by Album/Year?

    I love the cover flow feature on my iPhone but I am disappointed that it sorts based on Artist name. Is there a setting to make Cover flow - Sort by Album/Year?

    Sorry, no such setting.

  • Sync Messed up Album Art

    The last time I synched my iPhone, album artwork from a few of the songs was transferred to podcasts.  For instance, "Car Talk" podcasts now have the "Speaking in Tongues" (Talking Heads) album cover art.  How can I fix this and restore the NPR Car Talk logo?
    Thanks.

    I have had a similar issue, but much more...started with the messed up album art, and now the following problems are happening (5th Generation 30 GB ipod):
    won't play video - Just black screen for 10 seconds, then back to menu
    sometimes won't play podcasts - when clicking on podcast it goes to the play screen and then without the timer moving it acts as if it's played the entire podcast, and goes back to menu.
    also, sometimes the music or podcast gets terribly garbled almost like "electronic noise"
    I have restored 2 times, and reset numerous times, but it continues to happen!!

  • HT6065 Error in Finder when viewing images using Cower Flow

    When viewing images in the Finder, mode Cower Flow, first click on the image gives you a blank image, the second press on the same image starts showing pictures.
    The first time was installed OS 10.9 - was more interesting mode CowerFlow push the image such as room opens 200.jpg 199.jpg image

    Same problems with Coverflow.
    When using left and right keys it will open wrong pictures. Not the one which is shown.
    Still in 10.9.1!!!!

  • Send your feedback to Apple if you want Cover Flow sorted by Album

    I know this is a hot topic, but I really would prefer to have Cover Flow sorted per Album rather than per Artist. I don't buy the same album for each artist so I think Cover Flow should be per Album, it just makes sense.
    As there's no real way around it and if you agree send your feedback to Apple so at least they know it's something people want and maybe they'll work on a way to fix it for us.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html

    I would support an option to sort by album or artist but if it were only 1 way, i'd like it to be by artist. Assuming the fix the compilation problem, I want the coverflow to work like going to a 'record' store so that i can easily go artist by artist and each artists albums are sorted together. compilations would either be grouped together at the end or under various artists ( but each album would appear once). I know my collection way better by artist than i do by album name.

  • In Cover Flow, a compilation album shows different covers for each song.  How do I make it show one cover for the whole album?

    In Cover Flow, a compilation album shows different covers for each song.  How do I make it show one cover for the whole album?

    Also in the first page of Get Info for all tracks set the Album Artist to be Various Artists.
    If you select all the tracks and right click to get info then you can do all the tracks in one go

  • Cover flow with compilation albums

    Hi,
    I have three compilation albums on my Ipod 4g that currently mess up the whole cover flow, each artist gets its own album art so I have like 20 albums with one song in it. I looked for a solution but found the same problem posted in 2007 already. Did Apple fix this in Itunes 8 or what can I do to get a nice compilation album. I already tried settings the artist name to Various (worked in Itunes, but not on my Ipod), I tried the sorting things but neither of those worked. Any known solutions so I'm able to use cover flow again?
    Thanks!

    Did not work for me, I can select this option if I right click a song, but as soon as I select multiple files the option of "part of compilation" is gone? I don't think I'm supposed to select this option for every song, one at a time? Also, should I do this when the songs are already on my Ipod or when they are still on the computer? Thanks for your help!
    EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't see the "options" part in your solution. Now it works!

  • I lost all of my Itunes music because of an infection that required them to wipe my computer.  I am trying to get the music back from multiple sources.  What I have recovered is a mess. Albums are mixed or songs not grouped as album. Help?

    My computer got infected with some terrible virus.  I contacted the manufacturer and they said the only thing to do was wipe the whole thing. I could not back it up bec this mess?ause it would include the infection. I have been trying to recover the lost music from several different places.  A friend tried to help me by putting all of his music on my computer from his external hard drive. That was very nice of him but now it is a terrible mess. The recovered songs are not grouped into albums correctly.  Some albums are mixed - every other song is from the other album.  Some songs are listed separately and not grouped as an album.  I tried to ask iTunes to find album art work and it has been running that for over 48 hours. Is that possible?  When I try to stop it I get a message that says I will lose all the data.  I admit that I am not very tech. savvy and I really don't know what I am doing.  It took me more than 20 years to make that collection and I am heart broken. Do you have any ideas about how I start to fix

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

  • ITunes 7.1 Coverflow messes up album selection

    Running iTunes 7.1 (59) for Mac.
    Using the browser, I select the artist and album I want to play and start listening. If I then select the coverflow display, instead of seeing just the tracks on the album chosen, I now see the entire contents of my library in random order. As soon as I get to the end of the current track, it jumps to a completely different album, not the second track of the album I was listening to.
    Have I misunderstood the way this coverflow option is supposed to work ?
    TIA
    Roger
    iMac 20" Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    It sounds like you have shuffling enabled. Go to Preferences > Playback and select "Shuffle: Albums".
    If your library is appearing in a random order, make sure you are sorting it by the column you wish. I use "Album by Year", myself.
    You're correct that switching to Cover Flow loses your Browser selections, which seems to be a bug.

  • From Cover Flow repeat / play album only?

    Is there a way to have iTunes play/repeat just an album when selected via Cover Flow?
    (It's probably just me not seeing the option.)
    When one selects an album via 'Grid View -> Albums' only that album and its songs get selected. That's exactly what I'd like to have when selecting the album via Cover Flow.
    However if that an album is selected via Cover Flow, this album and all songs following are listed.
    Playing the album ends up playing everything... Yet I'd only like to repeat-play that album.
    Checking/Unchecking all songs individually (even via shift-cmd) to select just the album songs for play is not my idea of a good solution.

    There are two ways I know, but one is clunky and the other could be very time-consuming to set up.
    1) Make sure all the tracks in your library are unchecked. Then, check only the tracks in the album you want to play. You can use Uncheck All to do the first part, and then select the album tracks, right-click on one of them and click Check Selected. Or you can click the checkmarks on individually. Then, if you select the first album track and click Play iTunes will play through all the tracks that are checked and then stop. I haven't tried doing this with repeat, but it should repeatedly play the album tracks in sequence.
    2) You could build a playlist for every album you want to play through. Then, to play the album play the playlist.
    Unfortunately, iTunes does not provide a "play album" control. Perhaps Apple sees playing albums through in this manner like CDs or (worse) vinyl LPs as hopelessly 20th Century and something to be discouraged?

  • Cover Flow of compilation albums not quite right on iPod Classic

    Okay, so after receiving my new iPod classic 80gb the other day, I decided to go through and fix up a lot of my albums in iTunes to display properly in Cover Flow. I have lots of Various Artists albums and have marked all tracks in each album as part of a compilation so that they show up correctly in iTunes 7.4.1.2. Now, when I'm scrolling through Cover Flow within iTunes, these albums appear correctly as 1 entry of "Album Name", and then "Various Artists" underneath that.
    However, when I move these tracks over to my iPod and then go to Cover Flow, it looks like instead of using "Various Artists" as the listed artist, it uses the artist of the first track on the album. So, for example, if track 1 were "Board Bangers - Cause the Beat's Hot", it would show "Board Bangers" instead of "Various Artists" as the album artist. However, if I click the middle button to "flip" the cover over to see the tracks, it correctly lists all the tracks for the album (even though it only lists the song titles and not the track artist).
    Also, in iTunes, Cover Flow is sorted by album name, whereas on my iPod, Cover Flow is sorted by artist. I'm not sure if that's something I can change in the settings somewhere -- obviously, until this compilation CD "bug" is fixed, I'd rather sort by album name since I haven't memorized the artist of the first track for each disc, hehe.
    Has anyone else experienced this or know of a fix for either of these issues?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    You r not alone Rob! I just posted the same complain in a previous thread...

    yeah..i just hope this whole Coverflow problem,along with the ridiculously slow menu response is fixed b4 my 14 days return period is up, if not...this iPOD is going back and am going back to my iPod Photo!

  • [COVER FLOW BUG] Double albums in some circumstances

    I have found a bug affecting the Cover Flow feature.
    I have 2 Albums called "Greatest Hits" on my iPod
    Queen - Greatest Hits, and Venga Boys - Greatest Hits.
    If I open these albums using Cover Flow, a list of songs from both albums appear, instead of just the selected album.
    Repro Steps:
    1. Open Queen - Greatest Hits within Cover Flow
    2. It will show all songs from Queen - Greatest Hits, as well as Venga Boys - Greatest Hits.
    3. It should only be showing the songs from Queen, not Venga Boys.
    Anyone else able to reproduce this? When having two albums with the same name?

  • Cover Flow bug? Albums out of alphabetical artist order

    Can somebody tell me why certain albums are placed all the way at the end, when viewing Cover Flow on my iPhone?
    For example, Jay-Z's Black Album shows up as the very last album... instead of next to other Jay-Z albums I have.
    This doesn't happen in iTunes Cover Flow - only when using Cover Flow on my iPhone.
    There is nothing wrong with my tags or artist input, or anything - the Black Album is still listed under Jay-Z albums when you touch his name... It's just that when viewing it in Cover Flow, it's out of order. As if instead of Jay-Z, the artist was like 999 (past 3 Doors Down, 3OH!3, etc). The VERY last album.
    This has happened to other albums too.
    Anybody????

    OMG I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT! It took me hours to figure out how to fix it and it'll take me another couple of hours to make sure the way it sorts it stays consistent, BUT I FINALLY GOT IT! It was secretly sorting it under Sort Album, which was hidden to me and so it sorted it under the origional album name and not what I'd tried to make it. I don't get what the difference is between Sort Album and asking it to sort my albums in alphabetical order, but OH WELL. This has been plauging my iPod for years and I finally figured it out! A million thanks!

  • Messed up albums: anyone else seeing this?

    Hi all,
    I've been living with this problem for a long time but never posted anything about it. Now I'm curious if anyone else is seeing it. Here's the bug report I sent in this week:
    Hi. I'm posting about a bug that I've been having for a long time that seems to be getting worse. It's nothing critical but it's quite annoying, especially with a client by your side - which is what happened yesterday.When creating albums, Aperture will randomly show multiple copies of certain pictures. Aside from being extremely distracting visually, it even goes so far as to count the duplicates. For instance right now I'm looking at a client's selects album containing 5 pictures, but it's displaying (and counting) 16!!! Selecting becomes completely messed up, highlighting some duplicates and not others and not releasing the selection for all pictures when clicking outside a picture box. Restarting the app or the machine changes nothing. Right now I'm looking at three albums I just created and two of them exhibit the problem even though they were all created exactly the same way. I have a 4 x 6 album where one picture is duplicated 7 times and the others 3 or 4. It's a bit of a mess.
    Here's a screenshot of a MobileMe gallery (of my kids) that's exhibiting the problem:
    http://www.diode.tv/aperturebug/duplicate_bug.jpg
    I've highlighted some of the duplicates but there are more if you look closely.
    Am I the only one with this problem? I'd love to know so I can track this one down.
    Thanks

    Jade-
    No, I have not seen this problem (OS 10.4.11, Aperture 2.1.1) but I do feel your pain. When an app misbehaves in front of a client it reflects on our professionalism, and that s*cks.
    I am not suggesting that something similar is your specific problem here, but 10.5 initially caused all kinds of issues with Adobe CS3, and CS4 has quite a few issues of its own. When everything is working well I tend not to immediately accept new app or OS updates because different parts of the package (multiple OS components and multiple apps) so often have not yet been fully tested together, making updates much like public betas.
    In the event that this malfunctioning presages something really bad going on with Aperture I would take care to make sure that backups are in order, but without writing over any existing backup Libraries in the event that the current Library is hosed.
    After everything is as ready for catastrophe as it can be,
    • Repair Permissions via Disk Utility
    • Do a Software Update
    • Again repair Permissions via Disk Utility
    • Rebuild the Library and see what happens.
    Good luck!
