Do you have the 'By Artist' bug on iPod Video 5G??

Can anyone help me confirm these?
The first one is so annoying, as it is effectively disabling a large number of my songs when I go to look for them by 'artist'. The second bug is just annoying!
1. iPod 5G artist listing bug
Environment:
Bug occurs when an 'Artist' has songs attributed to only 1 album and you have tracks for that artist that are not associated to any album (album ID3 tag is blank on some tracks).
Problem:
When you browse to Artist, and select the artist, it jumps straight to the album listing of the 1 album you have, not allowing you to browse 'All' to see songs that are not connected to any album. The songs are definitely on the iPod though, as they are listed in the 'Songs' area. Desired behavior is for 'All' to list all tracks, both on albums and not.
Supplemental: This needs to be fixed regardless - 'All' needs to be present on the screen if the artist only has 1 album but tracks not associated to that album - however, what may be a good addition is a menu option for browsing songs that have no album. - so you could go 'All' (and potentially be faced with a very long list of songs) or choose 'No album' (or similar) to show songs by that artist that have no defined album. I can see user behaviour in some tasks needing this option.
2. Artist 'All' view song order bug
Environment:
When you have an artist that has many albums of content, all with songs.
Problem:
Go to an artist you have lots of albums for, then choose 'All' instead of an album. The tracks are ordered alpha *by album* (with the album details not shown, just the song names, obviously). The songs are not listed by 'alpha song title' as you would expect them to be. How on earth are you supposed to find anything on this list? This has to be a bug. Expected behaviour should be that if a user browses to an album, a user wants to see the tracks ordered by track listing, and if no track listing ID3 info, by alpha instead. However, when I go to 'All', I'd expect an alpha ordering by song title (unless shuffle was on, of course!). If you have one unit of information - song titles - ordered by another unit of information that isn't present or explained, then users consider the ordering to be 'random' instead. Please fix!

Apple's response on your first issue:

I agree that the second issue is kinda annoying (alphabetic listing of all songs when browsing through Artists -> [artist name] -> All)

  • Can you have the mini dvi, or any output video source, on all time?

    I work for a University in a department that supports classroom technology and other various A/V type things. We recently set up a "collaborative cluster" computer lab. On each table there is 5 iMac's that can be used to work on project or class assignment independently, but there is also a LCD mounted on the wall at the each table so that at the press of a button that particular iMac's image can be displayed for the group to see. My question is, is there a way to always keep the mini dvi port on, because once you switch to another iMac or the teachers station it doesn't recognize that a second display is there anymore. If there is such a thing, would it also stay there after a restart.

    First verify that the problem is in the display's cable, not the computer's Mini DisplayPort.  Can you try a different display with your computer, or a different computer with your display?  If not, try holding the plug firmly in the computer while wiggling the cable near the plug.  If that doesn't cause problems, but moving the plug does, then the problem may be the port on the computer.
    If it is the display's cable, it can be replaced, but it does require some work

  • How can I upgrade my itunes to 11 version? It shows the legend "you have the latest version"

    Hi,
    I need urgent help!!
    I recently upgraded my iphone 4, it works perfectly, everything all right with it, but... Next time I wanted to sync the iphone with itunes I couldn´t!!!
    On the screen it shows a message saying that "my iphone cannot be read on this itunes because is not the actual version" and that I needed to upgrade it to the latest version, so I went to search for an update on the itunes menu and the message was "there are not new versions, you have the latest" but is not true!!!
    So, I went to the itunes webpage to download the 11.1 version and once it was finished I tried to install it, but it happened nothing!
    I am desperate and don´t know what to do, I don´t want to loose all I have there!!!
    I would be so grateful if you could help me solving this problem!!
    Thank you!
    Yazz

    If you're using 10.5.8, YOU HAVE the latest (iTunes 10) that will run on your OS.
    If your mac is Intel, you can upgrade to 10.6 through Apple for $19.99, then run the 10.6.8 combo update and you'll be able to run iTunes 11.1.2 or 11.1.3

  • ICloud you have the ability to NOT format phone numbers of contacts; this ability is not available on the contacts of iPhone. If I set-up a phone number in iCloud with NO parenthesis, ex. 123- 456-7899, then this format should be available on the iPhone

    That is correct is doesn't. Standardized formatting of phone numbers in the iOS app is more important because it supports contact from a variety of locations (gmail, hotmail, etc.). iCloud doesn't (not directly).

  • Firefox will updage. I get this message: Something is preventing firefox from updating securely. Please make sure that you have the latest version

    I get this error message: Something is preventing Firefox from updating securely. Please make sure that you have the latest version of Firefox. I have uninstalled and re-installed. It did not work. Support tells me to click on Firefox at the top. I have no word at the top which says Firefox. I have the Firefox icon.

    This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
    Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Is it better for your battery if you let it run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity?  Which is better for the life of the battery?

    I was wondering it the life of the battery would last longer if you let the battery run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity even if it doesn't have a low battery?  Which is better for the life of the battery and prolong the life of the battery?

    I've had a iPhone 4s since March 2012, and it's battery is pretty useless now.  I was using the app Battery Doctor (Battery Saver, Battery Life) by Beijing Kingsoft Internet Security software, which encourages the user to charge more often, whenever battery life drops below 100% full and greater than 20% full, and gives ratings according to the number of full, partial &amp; overcharges done, but I'm concerned that charging like that actually results in worse battery life??
    I now have an new iPhone 5 and don't want the battery to only last as short as the last one did
    Any advice/comments please

    Yes it does not mount as a lettered drive. It is combined with the main drive in a RAID array. Look in the list of programs and find Intel Rapid Storage Technology and open it up. If you have the 24 gig cache drive it will look something like this:

  • S4BB Audiobook won't work - this file could not be opened check that you have the correct permission​s and try again

    I bought the french audiobook J'accuse from S4BB and it simply doesn't work.  I sought help from Blackberry and got the message that BB doesn't support 3rd party apps.  I contacted S4BB, who by the way says they have a warranty on their apps, and got the email back that "for the issues and refund you would need to contact BlackBerry as the only way you can download to the playbook is through App World we do not have access to their system."
    I have deleted the app and re-installed, uninstalled and re-installed, searched permissions (not listed there), and it simply does not work.  It says "this file could not be opened check that you have the correct permissions and try again".
    I put a warning comment on blackberry app world that the app doesn't work and that support is hard to get, and Blackberry has removed both the comment and the very low rating I have this.  I found this to be the most disturbing part.
    Is there anything I can do to either get this app to work, or get a refund on this app?
    Also, why was this comment and rating deleted - this seems to be contrary to the nature of comment sections on apps and does not do a service to your customers who may download this app which doesn't work?

    Try right clicking on the installer and select run as administrator.

    I have the latest iTunes 12.1.2.27. However, I am unable to restore my iphone4s. iTunes was able to detect an iPhone in recovery mode.
    The error is something like "Unable to restore the iphone. Make sure you have the latest iTunes and try again." This is the latest version that exists currently.
    I am using MAC OS X 10.7.5.
    Please advise.
    I have tried all the steps in the apple support.

    There is nothing to backup.
    If the device is showing the Connect to iTunes screen, there is nothing on the device to backup.
    The first step in the update process is a backup... restore the device using that backup and try again.
