HELP!  Letters 'F' and 'G' are jumbled together in Artists, Albums, etc!

Hi,
For some reason, anything on my iPod beginning with an 'F' or a 'G' is mixed together. Instead of having all of the 'F's in alphabetical order, I have to weed through a bunch of 'G's as well. Here's an example straight from my songs list on my iPod:
Face to Face
Gage Park
Faint
Getaway
Fetisha
Getting Better
Ghosts
Fiddler's Green
Fingers In The Factories
Gimme Gimme Gimme
Find Me An Angel
Fireworks
Girl
etc.
It continues all the way through until the list reaches the letter 'H'.
It only happens with 'F' and 'G' and the problem only appears on my iPod - NOT on my computer when I open iTunes!
Any idea on how to fix this? It's getting to be really annoying.
Thank you!

Its possible to make your Artist tag and Sorting tags different.
Theres a feature that allows for custom sorting, like last names first, etc. Example: say I take artist John Doe. iTunes has a feature where he can be sorted as Doe John, but still be listed as John Doe, thus he would appear in the D section but be listed as John Doe.
While I do not believe this is your problem, it should be able to fix it
To try this, open iTunes. Right click on one of these problem artists, and select "Get Info".
From here, go to the Info tab, and ensure all the information is correct. Then, go to the sorting tab and type in their name as you want it to be sorted on the iPod (For example: if you want Face to Face to appear just as that then type in Face to Face).
Do this for all of the problem artists, and load up the iPod. If it still isn't sorted properly, I would restore your iPod.
Hope this helps.

  • The first 7 or 8 letters of a sentence are jumbled as I type. This happens only after a period of inactivity. Short or long. I start to type and a word like 'anybody', looks like this: 'ybodyan' I have done all the normal fixes. No luck. Ideas? Thx

    It's in every text-input app I use in my normal day.....most frustrating as you have to do a doublecheck especially in documents which do not have any special spellcheck system. I've done the cleanmymac, maintenance, cocktail, PRAM reset, Font Cache Smash fixes.....and still I'm dogged by this. Its almost as though the motherboard or some interface system is 'sleeping' longer than it should (if there are any input areas of the MBP which rest during short periods of inactivity) and then the initial keystrokes on the keyboard are somehow not registered and only 'kick in' once half of a new word's characters are already on the screen........grrrrr.

  • My colleague and I are working together (from separate MacBooks) to create an iBook for our students. We plan to work on sections separately and combine later. Must we use the SAME template to do so?

    My colleague and I are working together (from separate MacBooks) to create an iBook for our students. We plan to work on sections separately and combine later. Must we use the SAME template to do so?

    I'm not sure iBA reacts well to this type of editing, not to mention the cumbersome nature of trying to bring everything together in general.
    I'd suggest a workflow where one book is handed off, instead. That, or, let the individuals involved create their basic content in Pages, then when ready, use iBA's Insert Pages Chapters menu to string them together. Best to work in a linear fashion and avoid adding/removing/adding/moving portions, etc.
    If you must have separate authors, be sure to use the identical template and have them all properly trained up before going forward - trying this as a learning experience may result in an off-putting experience otherwise , with more time spent on chasing knots than on expressing writing skills, etc.

  • OIM11g R2 - If two roles (ACF2 and AD) are selected together for a user req

    Hi ,
    We are facing a problem In the Catalog, if two roles (ACF2 and AD) are selected together for a user and checking it out.The request goes to approval process.We have not created any approval process flow.
    Plz let me know how to recover from it and provide an option to provision two roles simulaneously to a user without going into approval process.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Create a user in OIM .
    2. Search that user.Administration->Users->Search User
    3. Click on 'Roles' tab and select 'Request Role' under that tab.
    4.'Catalog' tab opens .Click on Search icon and Add AD and ACF2 Role to the cart.
    5. Click on 'Check out'
    6. Click on Submit button
    7. Request Summary tab opens with Request status shown as 'Obtaining Request Approval' and Request Type as 'Assign Roles'.
    Note: If we assign AD and ACF2 individually to user and running Evaluate User Policies we are able to see account in Provisioned state under Accounts tab of User and request is not going to approval process
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    As mentioned I created two auto approval policies
    1. Request Type= Assign Roles
    Level= Request Level
    Auto Approval checked
    Approval Rule=Requester.UserLogin Equals XELSYSADM
    (Created this rule as i am logeed in as XELSYSADM)
    2. Request Type= Assign Roles
    Level= Operation Level
    Auto Approval checked
    All Scope Checked
    Approval Rule=Request.RequestType Equals Assign Roles
    After that i opened the user request role page and requested 2 roles (AD and ACF2).
    But now also request went to approval work flow
    Please point which step i have missed or any other step need to be performed.

    Hi,
    Try a clean installation of the flash plugin/activeX as follows.
    First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    Flash Player Uninstaller.
    When the download has completed, close all browser windows, open your Download folder and run the uninstaller.  After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has reloaded, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.  Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
    When the installation has completed, restart the notebook.
    If the above doesn't correct the issue, then try the following.
    First of all, download and run the Shockwave uninstaller on the link below.
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/uninstall/win/sw_uninstaller.exe
    After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has fully reloaded, download and install the latest version of Shockwave on the following link.

  • Ipad takes photo every time I close the cover of its case. When I close the cover - it really does take a picture and saves a photo. Luckly, it make a click, and pictures are seen in the photo album, and it does not appear to be forwarding.

    When I close the cover - it really does take a picture and saves a photo. Luckly, it make a click, and pictures are seen in the photo album, and it does not appear to be forwarding. It is just gobbling memory and annoying as I can only delete these pictures one at a time.

    It seems to take a picture of the counter top = I do not see the keyboard.
    I am wondering ....It may be a kids game app that takes pictures of the screen or out the back camera. I am starting to think it may just be a sound effect when placing the iPad on its screen. So many things that may be unrelated but coincedental. It started in May (the sound) and so did the multiple pictures - starting to think they are not related.
    Thanks for the quick tip on deleting multiple pictures.

  • [Bug?] iTunes 10.4 and type an 'umlaut' in artist/album etc.

    If i try to edit an artist in the artist field and type a german 'umlaut' like äöü in the input field the autotext in this field will stop working and the autotext is inserted. So I can't edit/assign a artist/album etc. name with a german umlaut without using the clipboard. Please fix this.

    You are correct and I wish that I had known this before spending 4 days and a lot of trouble going over this with both Apple Care and iTunes support. They had me jumping through hoops and didn't know anything until it was finally escalated. Only then did I get a vague response like I mentioned in the first post. It's troubling to me how a simple response from anyone there could've just said we know about this and they are bugs in 10.4 causing this.
    There are other issues too as you point out with the syncing and crashing. Anyway, hopefully others will find information here more useful than calling Apple for help. Not much we can do now except roll back to 10.3 for those that kept it and hope also they can updated Apple Application Support component.

  • I'm restoring a new iPad 2 (shattered the original).  Backed it up on the iCloud and have restored all apps, music, photo albums, etc.  However, the photo stream has not activated, so no photos have downloaded.  Photo Stream is fine on my Iphone and Mac.

    Hello there, Tamghosh.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some good steps to use for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
    iCloud: Photo Stream troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
    Particularly:
    I don't see photos in Photo Stream on my iOS device.
    Check the following:
    From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
    Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.

  • Why are all of my artists/albums/playlists in random order after using iTunes Match?

    I enabled iTunes match some months ago.  I have almost everythign uploaded or matched from my library.  But when I open the music app on my phone all of the artists are in seemingly random order.  This is not an issue with the sort order naming in the meta data.  I have no idea what is causing it.  The artists, albums, everything is completely out of order.  Furthermore, a lot of the songs are completley misslabeled.  I will try to play a Death Cab For Cutie song for instance and it starts playing kanye west.
    Is there any way to completely redo my iTunes Match?  I can't seem to figure it out and I'm tired of a service that I am paying for giving me very little performance.

    If you have AppleCare on your iPhone then call Apple, it's baically the only way you will get help on that front. Tell them about the issues. After a little while of trouble shooting they should pass you to a senior technician.
    What trouble shooting have you done?
    If you haven't done so already, Apple will request you to do it while they have you on the phone. Also, do not restore from a backup, set it up as a new device.

  • [HELP!] perl and unicode are not working

    I have a database that I know supports Unicode, I'm trying to read/write data using perl and I'm pulling my hair out! I have a table populated with some Unicode characters that I inserted using TOAD and this sql statement:
    insert into jay_test values (-101, 'Τη γλώσσα μου έδωσ');
    When I look at the data in TOAD everything looks great, when I read the data out using .NET it works great, when I read it out using PERL the result if a bunch of question marks.
    Here is the code:
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
    <%
    use utf8;
    use DBD::Oracle;
    $Response->AddHeader("Content-Type","text/html; charset=utf-8;");
    my $dbh2 = DBI->connect($db, $user, $password, {AutoCommit => 1});
    my $x = $dbh2->ora_can_unicode();
    my $sth = $dbh2->prepare("SELECT i, j from jay_test order by i desc");
    $sth->execute();
    while (my ($i, $j) = $sth->fetchrow_array()) {
         debug("i = $i, j = $j");
         $html .= qq{
              <tr>
                   <td>$i</td>
                   <td>$j</td>
              </tr>
    The result is this:
    -101      ?? ?????? ??? ????
    As a note: the line "$dbh2->ora_can_unicode();" returns a value of 3, which means that Unicode should be fully supported.
    Anyone who can point me in the right direction will be my savior! Thanks in advance

  • My iPod and iPad are synced together and I don't want them to be

    I have a school iPad and I can only use it for school since it was given to me by the school. My iPod is now synced to it but only my pictures that I've noticed, like all my pictures from my iPod photo stream is now in my iPad photo stream. And my music is on there too. I'm not supposed to sync it to my computer either. I'm supposed to give back the iPad at the end of the year. How can I keep them separate now? Or how can I separate them from being linked?

    Are you using a separate Apple ID on each device?
    Are you syncing it with your home computer?
    For photos and some other things just go to Settings>iCloud and deleted the iCloud account or use a different Apple ID for the account
    If you sync to your computer use the manual method
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    Go to Settings>iTunes and App store and turn off automatic downloaid and turn off SHOW ALL
    But to really help we need to more how yo use the school device and the ID used on the device

  • Website glitches and images are jumbled up and distorted. Why?

    Images spazzes and there's a lot of images being jumbled up as I click one tab to another.
    For eg. When i'm on youtube, then i click on another tab, say Facebook, the tab will change to facebook but the video player of youtube will be right smack in the centre. It remains there until I scroll up or down, which erases the video player.

    When there are strange display artifacts, I suspect a graphics driver incompatibility.
    As a workaround, you could disable hardware acceleration of graphics in Firefox and in Flash:
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
    Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    (B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    Note: with hardware acceleration disabled, some users with Retina displays have reported that Flash only uses a quarter of the display area. Hopefully that doesn't affect you.
