Yes - it does! As Meg says, the coverflow order cannot be changed (or at least, I haven't found a way) and on my Classic the albums by one artist are first and in *artist alphabetical order,* followed (at the end of the artist list) by *various artists (or compilation) albums* which are in *album title order.*
I Dont Like Looking At 10 Different Picz of The Same Album.
Almost certainly, the reason you see several pictures of the same album is because the information in the tracks is confusing the iPod. See turingtest2's links, because they should help you sort out what is wrong.

P.S. you may feel that Meg was out of order with her comments about your typing, but she is right - it is difficult to read your post and if you want help, you need to make it easy for the people reading it. It's not simply some "convention" within this forum, it's standard internet protocol. Still, you live in the free world, it's your choice.

How can I get the Cover Flow text to be in all caps

I've only had one problem with the Cover Flow application for iTunes. All of my track names, artists, and album names are in caps on my library. When I switch to the Cover Flow view some songs are displayed with all caps, while others have the song and album in caps, but the artist is in lower case.
I've gone through all of my files and all of them have been correctly entered in all caps, yet Cover Flow still does not display them correctly. I've even gone through every album, got info, and made sure everything was in all caps. Still no succcess.
Any suggestions?
How about creating an option button to control Cover Flow's functioning on the next iTunes version? That would be nice.

Thanks, jere7my.
In other words, I should always make changes to my song text with the Cover Flow view selected.
I would never have the Cover Flow view selected while importing new albums, tracks, and artwork. I switched back to it after I was done personalizing my stuff. Thats when I started to notice they were still in lower case, even though I had changed them.

So I recently bought 3 new songs, and they won'y show up on my main iTunes Library page or under the artist, but they show up under purchased. How can I get them to show up under the artist/ main library page?

When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album? When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order. So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.

I just received a nano for Christmas. I bought an iwatch wristband but I can't get the face to rotate. Should this happen on its own or do I need to set it manually?

I guess it helps to read the manual... haha... just figured it out!

How can i get all albums to appear in the artist list

Not all of my albums for a particular artist appear in the artist list. How can I correct this?

Hi spike1954,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first check the Song Info associated with the albums that are not displaying correctly. See this article for the details:
Playing and managing content in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1399
Editing and arranging content
Editing Info
Each audio or video file in iTunes has several settings and tags that can be easily modified. These options can be accessed by selecting any file in the iTunes browser windows and selecting "Get Info" from the File menu. You can add song lyrics, artwork and set special playback options. The "Info" tab lets you edit information about the file including artist and album info.
Additionally, while this article refers to a previous version of iTunes, the information within can still be helpful:

How can I get a container to be the same size as all its children

In my TitleWindow, I have two children that size themselves
dynamically.
No problem, TitleWindow also sizes itself to completely show
both children.
Now I have an additional child that I can only position
correctly if I set TitleWindow's layout parameter to absolute.
The third child now positions itself correctly on top of the
first child.
But now TitleWindow is only as big as the first child and I
have to scroll to see the second child.
How can I force TitleWindow to be the size it was when layout
was set to vertical?
Doug

Hi Doug - What exactly are you trying to do? Is the third
child being added dynamically, and you want it added above the
first child? If so, you can use the addChildAt() method when adding
the child to the container. addChildAt() takes an index and the
child object is added at that index and all other children are
reshuffled to maintain the ordering. IE:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="vertical">
<mx:TitleWindow layout="vertical" id="tw">
<mx:Button id="a" />
<mx:Button id="b" click="go();"/>
</mx:TitleWindow>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function go():void
var c:Button = new Button();
c.label="new";
tw.addChildAt(c, 0);
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
Does that help, or am I misinterpreting what you're trying to
do?

How can I get my ipod to list the "album artist" instead of "artist" in the music menu, but still show the artist with the featured artist when a song plays?

For example, I am putting Kanye West's album "808's & Heartbreak" on my ipod. The track "Amazing" features Young Jeezy. So in iTunes, I list the track name as "Amazing", the artist as "Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy", the album artist as "Kanye West", and the album as "808's & Heartbreak". What I want is for my iPod to have a list of album artists instead of artists, so that I can find the song "Amazing" under "Kanye West" instead of "Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy" or "808's & Heartbreak".
And when the song plays, it should say:
Amazing
Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy
808's & Heartbreak
Is there a way I can do that? I tried using the "album artist" field thinking it would do what I wanted to do, but it didnt. I also tried using the "sort artist" field and typed "Kanye West" in there, but that didnt work either. I wish iTunes was simpler and easier or atleast CAME WITH A MANUAL. Any help would be greatly appreciated THanks

Have you tried a different pair of earbuds/headphones to rule out a pair of damaged/faulty ones? You might also want to make sure the headphones are securely and firmly seated in Nano's headphone jack. Lastly, check the headphone jack for any signs of debris or damage. You may need to have the headphone jack replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.
I assume this static is present on any track you listen to versus only particular ones?

How can I get my photos stored on iPad back if I do not own iOS device anymore?

Hi,
I need to get my photos stored on iPad back.
I do not own iOS device anymore.
I think I have been synced the photos with the cloud but not sure. The same with updating to iOS5. It was iPad 2.
I have installed the iCloud for Windows, but do not see the photos downloaded back to my windows notebook. Maybe I should turn on syncing somehow or it should start automatically after I run iClpud app and set photo syncing option on?
If it's not help, do you have any other ideas?
For example, could it be helpful if I try to get someones else iPad and login to app store with my account to see my old photo?
Thanks.

In iTunes I see I hade a backup in Dec'11, so I gues I had used iCloud. Any ideas why my photos are not downloading back via iCloud for Windows?

Can you get the cover flow interface on a 5th gen classic Ipod?

any way to do this?

No there's not. As an example, when the Late 2006 version of the 5th Generation iPod was introduced it had a new search feature, this was not added retrospectively to the earlier model. The changes made to the iPod Classic and the other models are much more extensive than that one and no official firmware was ever released to update previous models.

How can i get my credit card info to save? it says its saved and then as soon as i leave the page it says i have to provide credit card info?

every time i save my credit card info in my account on ITunes, it shows as saved and as soon as I go to buy something, it says I have no credit card on file and starts over again.

I don't mind having my card info on there but now I can't download anything and it's frustrating. All it ask for is the card security number and when I put it in it says it's invalid. So now while I'm trying to delete it, it just won't let me. The visa part stays checked all the time and I can't unmarked it. I tried to just erase the card number and security code and stuff but it says I have to have it filled in. Do you know how I can check to see if it says I owe money?

My friend's apple ID shows up when I want to update my Apps. How can I get rid of it and see my own instead?

On my iPhone I see my friend's Apple ID when I want to update my Apps and can't seem to login with my own. What's wrong? How can I get rid off my friend's ID and login with my own when I want to update or download apps? I went to Itunes Store in Setting and checked if my ID was still there, and it is so I have no idea what's wrong.

I'm still not clear about what you mean about unlocking your phone. Normally, "unlocking" means entering the password if the phone is locked, which you should be able to do from the phone itself. If you want more help with this, you really need to take the time to furnish all the relevant details.
I have a MacBook Pro, and yes when I connect my iPhone on it it shows up in the devices list.
When you do that & click on the iPhone in the list, then click on the "Apps" tab at the top, do you see the apps you can't update listed there? If you click on the "Store" menu item does it show near the bottom that you are logged in with your own Apple ID?
As wjosten said, it sounds like one way or another, the apps you cannot update were obtained using your friend's Apple ID. You need to delete them from your phone & try buying them again. If they were in fact paid for with your own Apple ID you won't have to pay again; otherwise you will.

How can i get my oxygen 8 to transfer data into Logic?

i use an Oxygen 8 midi-keyboard and the Presonus firebox-interface with my Logic pro 7.
how can i get my oxygen 8 to transfer data into Logic?
its like there is no connection between the two.
but its not the cables, since everything was running fine before.
can anybody help me ?

Go into the Audio MIDI Setup utility and check to see if you see it there. Considering that the Oxygen 8 is class compliant, you should just be able to plug it into the Mac. Perhaps, all it needs it to be recycled (turn it off and on again).
