HELP! iPod sorting artists that start with "The" under "T"

OK, so I synced my iPod classic last night, and now ALL artists that start with "The" are listed alphabetically under "T". Prior to last sync, it had never done this. I didn't change any setting, the only reason for the sync was to add a podcast that had downloaded. It also appears that the sorting feature is no longer ignoring punctuation, because "Weird Al" Yankovic is now alphabetically first, as opposed to under "W" where he was previously. What happened, and how do I get it back to normal?
Thanks

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
It should sort itself out if you reset your iPod, otherwise you will need to do a complete restore. If you are not familiar with those terms take at look at http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/

  • Why can I only see artists that start with the letter "A"?

    On one iPhone, iTunes Match is fine (except that navigation through the iPod app is PAINFULLY slow!!!)
    On the other iPhone, iTunes Match only shows artists whose names start with the letter A. I've gone through playlist mode and downloaded other stuff, but they don't show up, regardless of whether "Show All Music" is on or off.
    Help!
    Any speed tips would be appreciated, too!

    Now I need to figure out where to turn that off by default. 
    OK, now I see the Fill and Stroke options - ONLY VISIBLE IN THE OPTIONS BAR WHEN TOOL MODE Shape IS SELECTED - that affect the operation of the [Shape] button.
    Personally, I really LIKE the concept of always making a Path, then doing with it what I want (e.g., make a Shape with the button).
    I'm not sure what I'd suggest about making the Fill and Stroke options available, but clearly the method of haivng them only show when making Shapes, and not when using the [Shape] button is a stumbling block even for folks who are familiar with the product.
    I would probably turn off the Stroke feature by default, though, then let people discover it.

  • Since my last sync artists that start with 'The' are now under 'T'. How do I change it back so 'The National' is under 'N'?

    Does any one know how to change the ordering of the artists?

    Did you try Safe Mode?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • I'm having troube with music. Some artists that start with an "P" appear under the "R" menu and similarly throughout the alphabet. Same about albums, songs

    I'm having troube with music. Some artists that start with an "A" appear under the "B" menu and similarly throughout the alphabet. Same about albums, songs and genres. It suddenly happened after about 3 days of iOS 5 usage. Re-synchronization doesn't help. I also tried deleting some artists from ipod, but it doesn't help either.

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=3754
    59&tstart=0
    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
    Up
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

  • Whenever I start to sign in (MSN Hotmail), previous addresses come up that start with the same letter as mine. I would like to clear them out so that only mine comes up

    Problem summary: Whenever I start to sign in (MSN Hotmail), previous addresses come up that start with the same letter as mine. I would like to clear them out so that only mine comes up.
    In a different help forum someone told me that the autocomplete (autofill) feature of my browser is enabled. Seems that it is set to save autocomplete data for forms and/or usernames/passwords. I need help with the steps necessary to disable this feature.

  • Itunes media folders for musical groups that Start with "The"

    I am using Itunes 10.7 and have selected the option of copying files to Itunes media folder when adding to library.  When I add a musician group that sometimes starts with "The" and other times don't start with "the" (eg Bee Gees or The Bee Gees) these two names are correctly sorted on the Itunes list - "The Bee Gees" sorts next to "Bee Gees".
    When I look at the folders in Itunes/Itunes Media/Music I get one folder for "Bee Gees" and a second folder for "The Bee Gees.  I have just started loading music into Itunes and already have 47 sets of folders where the groups are in two different folders - musical group name starting with "the" and another that does not start with the word "the".
    Suggestions?
    Thanks

    As Ed says, that's the way it works. For any similar group decide which of the two forms you think is correct and then use it consistently in Artist, Album Artist, and Composer when relevant. While not the ultimate arbiter of fact Wikipedia suggests that Bee Gees is the correct form in this example.
    See my article on Grouping tracks into albums for more.

  • HELP for editing program that comes with the EOS REBEL T3

    I have Canon Rebel T3. Recently I had computer problems and my programs were wiped out.

  • Horrible problem that started with the 10.5.3 update.

    First I'd like to say Hi, because I'm new here.
    Here's my problem. I installed the 10.5.3 update about a week ago, the computer wouldn't make it past the gray screen with the Apple and gear on it. After reading through countless discussions on here, I realized my only option was an archive and reinstall. Which I did. I backed up all my important files, reformatted the volume and everything was fine.
    The only problem I noticed after the format was the fact that there were weird files appearing in my trash bin, which I read about, and I thought was pretty much nothing of importance. I then proceeded to update to 10.5.3.
    So a week goes by, I try waking up my computer from sleep, and it won't. After about 10 minutes I do a hard restart, and I get a folder with a question mark.
    Hardware test turned out with no errors.
    So I do a repair on the disc using my Leopard install disc, tons of errors pop up, the hard drive is showing up as unmountable, it can't repair any of the problems. At this point I think it's best to format my entire drive, Windows Partition and all. The only problem is, there's one set of important files left on my computer. I want to get them off. A TDM start only shows my Windows partition on the other computer. And I can't mount the disc.
    Am I at a dead end? I mean if I HAVE to lose the files, it's not going to be too much of a deal, however I want to know now if there is some chance I can possibly salvage them.
    The partition shows up on restarts, when I choose to start it, I get the "Gray Screen of Death" after about 30 seconds.
    Also, is there any fix to this problem?
    Thank you in advance.

    Well, I am not a specialist, but, first, archive and install does not mean you have to reformat the drive. It just puts aside the last system.
    Now, if you have or borrow a second Mac, you could link them with a Firewire cable and start your scrambled Mac in slave mode, to try to access the drive from the other system (either from the Finder or any kind of repair utilitiy, then with a software of backup/restore or directly from the Finder) and then repair it just enough to get the files back. Or if you have a external drive, try to install any system there and launch from there, then do the same as above.
    At the end of the day, if there is no way to access the internal hard drive, then yes, cry and reformat the whole...

  • OAS10g Oracle_Home /opmn/logs/states Directory - Empty Files Starting With The Letter 'X'

    In my Oracle Application Server 10g directory, Oracle_Home/opmn/logs/states, I see four 0 byte files starting with the letter 'x' followed by 10 digits.  The remaining five files (ex: p1234567890) are your normal OAS files that keep the information about the PID's of its processes.  My question is: can someone explain to me what these empty files that start with the letter 'x' are?  Thanks.

    download iTunes again from Apple.

    If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
    Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
    Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
    You  should be making backups of your content regularly, either through  iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a  external drive.

  • HT201250 It's amazing how little help "Help" is in the Mac on using Time machine to do a full "restore" .. Oh sure.. It says you can do it .. but offers no way of doing it by explanation .. Then we have this article that suggests to re-start with the "Com

    .. but what do ya do when the "Command-R" keys do nothing at restart .. sigh!  

    Thanks Matt, for you quick help on this .. Unfortunately, the link is no help at all.  Well.. It seems to offer help, and it sorta gets you started with some cautions .. but, actually provides no instruction on how to fully restore using Time Machine.  It quickly launches into "Migration Assistant" which is not Time Machine software.
    My problem is with Time Machine .. and the instructions on how to use it for a full restore .. Those instructions simply don't exist, or are hidden, and left as an exercise for the student to find.
    Ironicly, there was nothing wrong with my computer, until Apple issued a recall to replace the 1TB drive in iMacs. After 3 years of my iMac working perfectly ...I made the fatal choice to let Apple replace my drive, at the California,  Escondido, North County Apple store.   A work order was generated that would replace the drive, and a full restore would be done by the store, as I (like most everyone else) had no idea how to use Time machine for a full restore. 
    When I got the computer home (after 6 days in the store) .. I was shocked and horrified to find all data was gone.. it was essentially a new computer out of the box.  They didn't "restore" anything.
    I had backed up everything just before taking the iMac in. Unfortunately, all of my attempts at using Time Machine failed to produce any meaningful results .. And now .. a worse problem has developed.. When launching Time Machine.. the drive ( which does mount on the screen) is no longer listed as a "Time Machine Backup Disk)  And apparently, cannot even be accessed by Time machine.
    I called the Apple store .. They are sorry for the screw-up, and are saving my old drive, and will put it back in.. or use it, somehow, to restore my computer.  Naturally, I do not trust them to be successful.   
    .. then there's the problem with the backup drive .. apparently caused by Time Machine.... sigh!

  • I plugged IPOD in to sync ( first time in over a year) it auto started with the "Do Not Disconnect", but did not sync.  Now the IPOD is stuck in that mode, won't shut off, won't sync, won't work.  is there a way to reboot it?

    It has already been 6 days from your post, my apology for responding so late, but it is my habit to help only the leftovers, which the other contributors missed.
    Toggle the hold switch make sure there is no red showing.
    To reboot an iPod. (Or RESET in Apple iPod jargon)
    Press Menu and Center button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON , this would not erase any data from your iPod.
    I would advice you to leave the iPod charging for about 4 hours, if it has been discharged for 1 year or more, and also Apple recommends that you charge the iPod at least once a month, to prevent a discharged battery leakage, which may corrrode the circuitry in the iPod.
    Hopefully you don't get the dreaded RED X on the iPod screen.
    Good Luck!

  • My ipod won't sync any of the music i downloaded and says that iTunes can't backup the Ipod because a session couldn't be started with the Ipod how do i fix this

    My ipod won't sync any thing in my iTunes library it always stop as soon as it starts backingup the Ipod a message appears that says iTunes cannot backup the Ipod "my Ipod" because a session couldn't be started withthe Ipod how do i fix this problem?
    This is exactly what the message says: iTunes could not back up the iPod "austins ipod" because a session could not be started with the iPod.

    Try connecting your ipod to another computer and sync only 1 file or song just for isolation purpose only to see if it'll sync.
    If still not syncing, then porbably you may have a bad iOS installed in iPod which is hard to see if it has a problem because you said nothing's wrong with iPod. I just saying is, it MIGHT have a bad iOS.
    If you are unable to do a restore, put your ipod in DFU mode, then connect to iTunes and iTunes will detect your ipod in restore mode. Press shift key (PC keyboard) then click the restore button on iTunes. I hope you have your copy of IPSW file for restoration purposes.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)
