Genre sort in Browser, auto sync, sort order

I just updated to 3.1.1 and iTunes 9.0. Now Genre is missing in the browser. How can I get it back? Also none of my playlist sync in auto. I have to manually manage it. I rarely use it for music, just for listening to stories and podcasts, so it's important to have them in the correct order for listening, i.e. chapters. Now the playlist doesn't show up on the itouch sorted correctly.
1. Doesn't have Genre in Browser. 2. Doesn't auto sync. 3. Sort order is messed up between iTunes and iTouch. 4. Is it caused by 3.1.1 or iTunes 9.0? Does anyone know how to fix these issues? I don't have an old download of iTunes 8 to uninstall 9 and reinstall 8. iTouch 3.1.1 can't be uninstalled. Shadow

iTunes 9 changed the browser to a column on the left side (by default), but you can go back to how it was on top, see the View/Column Browser menu. You can have multiple filters (Artist, Album, Composer, etc.) either as a column on the left, or across the top.

You have to be doing something wrong since auto-sync does work. Make sure your iPod is in auto-sync mode -- if you change the sync mode, make sure you click the "Apply" button -- if you don't, it won't change. If you're not syncing your entire library, then make sure that you've selected the playlists you want loaded onto the Touch.

Are you referring to the sort order within a playlist, or the sort order of all your playlist names? I know that the playlist name sorting has changed (again) such that punctuaion comes first, then letters, then numbers. If you're referring to the sort order of the items within a playlist, then it may be a bug -- there are reports of problems with the sorting of podcasts within playlists, so maybe the same is true for books?

Not sure, could be either.

You can get down-rev versions of iTunes at sites like filehippo (there are others). Keep in mind though that your "iTunes Library.itl" file was changed with iTunes 9 and is not backward-compatible. You'll have to look for the old .itl file in your "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder (check the date of these .itl files). If you fid the .itl file from iTunes 8, just replace the current one and then uninstall iTunes as well as "Apple Mobile Device Services" and Quicktime, then install iTunes 8.
You can go back to a prior OS version on your Touch if you have the native file (you would if you previously did a firmware update, it stays on your computer). If you updated to 3.0 then you can go back to it by holding the SHIFT key as you click the Restore button (use the OPT key on a Mac) and then select the 3.0 version. You can't go back to 2.x in this manner, but there is a different way to go back to 2.x if you ever want to (won't go into that here).

Sort order on sync'd photos

I'm trying to get 400+ photos onto my iPad from iPhoto. I cannot use sync because it destroys the sort order I have established in iPhoto. Have tried to sync, have tried to export to a folder. The folder export put the photos in the sort order I want but when I transfer to iPad - once again they are scrambled. Photos that have names like pix-1, pix-2, ... appear all over the album. Does anyone know how to keep the sort order when transferring (by any means) to the iPad?

What sort order do you have selecting in the sort drop-down? There is no "correct" sort order. You can sort on any metadata you can show in the Browser. The sort drop-down is located in the top border of the Browser, near the left corner. Every container in Aperture retains the sort order it last had. When you manually move an Image in the Browser, the sort order is changed to "Manual".

Sort order in Photo Browser

The sort order of photos appearing in Photo Browser while in Mail has been, until recently, showing the most recent photos first.
Today, it started showing the oldest photos first.
Any ideas about what I did to change the order, and how I can reverse the current sort order to return to the prior state?
I'd like to have the newest photos appear first, as they have for some time.
Running Mail in Snow Leopard 10.6. 8.
Many thanks for help!

Thanks Steven,
Ok I was only half wrong so they are in alphabetical order, but not numerical order. In the Mac finder window in list or icon view it sorts automatically in alphabetical and numerical. Question 1: Is there no way to change the sorting order in Premiere?
I'm still living with a few projects that were shot on tape and where the previous video editor auto numbered digitized clips. Question 2: I'm not going to redigitize this project in Premiere, but for another tape based project would I be able to set up this numbering scheme you mention?
The mac finder sorts them correctly due to an update they did to the OS a long time ago that means it recognizes 10 as coming after 9 rather than needing to put 09 for it to work. Most systems don't work that way.
You could always download a simple batch renaming app, I think there's a few around, and just rename them with zeros in front. Would probably take you about ten minutes tops, including downloading the app.
As for sorting them within Premiere, in list mode you just click the header of the column you want to sort by. But if you're sorting by name it will display them in the order they're currently in, because that is technically correct.

IPhone no longer syncs playlists in the same sort order as iTunes

iPhone 4 no longer syncs playlists in the same sort order as iTunes after iOS5 upgrade. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it is very frustrating. That was one functionality that worked very well. Not only is the sort within the playlist bad but the sorting of the playlists themselves is bad. I used to use an undetscore "-" to sort some of my folders to the top of the play list of the most played playlists and that does not work either. It ignores the underscore and just sorts on the alpha character. Hope this gets fixed.

Default photo sort order on IPhone syncing with iPhoto

Is there any way to get the Photos app on my IPhone 4 with iOS 6 to stop displaying my photos and events with the OLDEŚT pics and events at the top - displayed first?.
This means I can only get to my most recent events after extensive screen scrolling through my library of 4700 photos.
I have iPhoto on my iMac successfully configured to show most recent events first (at the top) but when I perform an ITunes photo sync this sort order reverses !
Apple programmers, are you listening ?

1. No Apple programmers. Or any other Apple people are not listening. This is, as explained in the TOU you agreed to, strictly a user to user support forum. No Apple involvement
2 you want answers about iPhoto for UOS but are posting in the iPhoto for Mac forum. Posting in the correct forum will greatly enhance your possibility of getting a correct answer
3. I will request that you post be moved

Browser window album sort order change?

Hi,
do you know if there's any way to change the sort order for albums on the browser window?
I'd like to view the album list for each artist sorted by release date order (as in discography) rather than alphabetically.

Colin,
Change the View option to include Year then click on
the column heading.
that works on the main window, not in the browser window.
No matter what column I click in the main song window, the browser windows remain alphabetically sorted.

Reminders-sort order of tasks does not sync

I'm trying to use Reminders on my iPhone 4s, iMac running Mountain Lion and iCloud. Although syncing does occur BETWEEN THESE 3 APPS,
THE SORT ORDER OF THE TASKS IS COMPLETELY OUT OF SYNC. I need to sort my many to do tasks manually as priorities change
daily. Therefore it's important to have the sort order (sequence of task items) sync across these devices. I imagine many users would agree with this.

Just discovering for myself that re-ordering reminders can be achieved - but order is not synced between devices or shared accounts. Which is to say it's about as much use as a chocolate teapot.
For the record, I have thrown the equivalent of a message in a bottle to feedback - an action for which I believe the acronym is CWOT.
Also, it seems there's a thing called customer quality feedback...
Visit our Customer Quality Feedback (CQF) site at: http://www.cqf.apple.com/
However, it doesn't work...
Alas, it seems the writing is on the wall for Apple.

Browser Sort Order Always Reset

In Aperture 2, I set the sort order in the browser view once (to order by date) and then never thought about it again. In Aperture 3, it always defaults to Manual - even if I change it to Date, a little late it's back to Manual again. I can't see a way to set a default, so it stays on Date sort order.
Am I missing something - is this possible?

I am in the same boat. Although sort by date is checked off but later when you import something the projects are not sorted by date but sort by date is still checked off.

Alphabetize Song Title Sort Order Under Genre on iPod

Here is the general idea of what I am trying to do on the iPod. When viewing songs on the iPod, if I select Genre from the main menu, I cannot find a way to display all the song titles in a selected genre in alphabetical order. This can be done easily with the songs in iTunes on the laptop or desktop but seemingly not in the iPod. There is no big problem if you have only a handful of songs in any one genre but if you have several hundred songs in a particular genre and titles do not display in alphabetical order, then finding a desired song is very time consuming and necessitates scrolling through the entire list. Is there a way to alphabetize the song title sort order within Genre on the iPod?

Get external hard drive. Backup all your music files and wipeout iTunes from computer. The. Reinstall and update version if necessary. The. Connect external hard drive and set hard drive folder at default in iTunes preferences. Transfer music to library and when prompted hit automatic organizing z
. Should take care of your problem

Sort Order in Column Browser iTunes 10

Several versions back, the sort order was numbers first and then letters. In other words, sorted in ascii sort order. For some reason, iTunes decided to change this. Will you please put an option in iTunes to change it to ascii sort order. Thank you so much.

First give the list a "kick" by sorting by some other fields, closing and reopening iTunes, and then sorting again by Artist.
Also look at the Sorting tab and make sure the tracks do not have data that could be interfering with the Sort Artist, namely Sort Album Artist.
If neither of those helps, you have probably discovered a bug in 9.1, which you can report here:

Setting Up Some Sort Of Auto Sync

I don't even know if this is the place to ask this question and I don't know If it can even be done. I want to set up somesort of auto sync for files across two computers on the same network. It has to be cross platform also. All I am looking to do is to sync one folder to my mac from my school laptop which is a Dell Latitude. Can this be done? Thank You for your time!

Yes, I run DropBox on my MacBook Pros and my wife runs it on her THinkPads, and all the machines sync everything between each other. We also have access to the files using our iOS devices (iPhone and iPad). There are even other options out there whichwill do this too. I belive you can do it with Google Drive, Microsoft's "SkyDrive" (or whatever their new name ends up being), and several other packages (Box.com, iDrive, Copy, etc.)

IPhone photo album file name sort order

I have a folder with photos in it on my Mac. When I sync the folder to my iPhone and view the photos on the phone, the photos are not displaying in file name sort order. The file names of the photos are numbers (001, 002, 003 etc.). It seems the photos are being displayed in date created order and not in the file name order. The album with photos on my Mac is arranged / sorted by the name when syncing.
Is there a way to have the photos in the iPhone album displayed in file name sort order?
Thanks,
David

Focus Point (not free, no ads) will allow you to rename the files, add descriptions, and sort in a variety of ways. But it won't let you do anything in the main screen except browse your photo albums or camera roll, select one, and then you can do a search within that album or camera roll--and then if and only if the photo has a filename or description can you search for it. Bottom line: be sure to give your photos a proper file name and add a description.

Aperture, the iPad, and sort order

Basically, Aperture and iPad really don't seem to be happy bed buddies. Seems to me the bottom line is if you want to use your iPad to browse and view pictures, don't "upgrade" to Aperture.
My basic problem is sort order, and twofold:
1. The order of Albums and Events (ie. Projects) are completely out of whack.
2. The order of actual photos in albums and events are completely out of whack too.
Now I've seen complaints about 2. in the discussions but they seem to be pretty old threads and everyone's seemed to just have lived with it. I also see this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3381. Seriously? Apple calls that a "Resolution"? Manually dragging a photo in each and every album / project so that it uses the custom sort? Then of course on top of all that monkey work, the sort will be screwed for any future photos added to the album / project. ***? You can't even call that a workaround, let alone a resolution. Seriously Apple. Has anyone had any better luck with it?
This has been a pain in the *** with A2 and the iPhone but I didn't really use that too much to display my photos. But now with A3 and iPad, it's still exactly the same deal? This is just plain stupid.
As to 1. I can't for the life of me figure out what this order is (it's not by date or by name / path or anything I can tell), or if there's any way to change it. Nor could I find any threads about this issue so any info or tips would be very useful.
I really hate that all this iDevice syncing has solely been designed for use with iPhoto/iLife and the pro applications were just tacked on as a badly implemented afterthought. Is the pro market (specifically the intersection of Pro software and iDevice users) really this small that it means nothing to Apple, a company which normally prides itself in its attention to detail and user experience?

After taking a breath I renamed "version name" using the batch change function (you can select to keep the original file name untouched if you want) with a custom name as following:
<Image Date> at <Image Time> - <Version Name> (optional as a reference to the original file name)
synched with ipad and everything is fine now. takes only 30 sec. still annoying you have to go through these extra loops though...

Replacement iPhone restored but App sort order lost...

What happened to the manual sort of my 98 apps after I restored to a replacement iPhone?
Doesn’t the backup store app sort order?

Okay, quick post as I have to leave. You find the backup data set in /home/library/application support/mobilesync I think and that the backup data which the sync process creates. You restore that directory to the desktop, and then remove the current equivalent from your machine to the trash and put the restored on in its place. make sure the auto sync is disabled, connect the iPhone and then do a Restore from backup.
Hope that makes sense - got to dash !
