How can I sort albums in a genre by release date in the itunes store
How can I sort albums in a genre by release date in the itunes store
Did you figure this out? Am having the same problem.
EDIT:
Found the group in store (in this case Juana Molina) It said music -> alternative
Changed to column view, and could not find the artist at all in any of the sub categories.
iTunes is really the biggest pain in the .... and has gotten worse over the years. -
How do you isolate an album or artist in the new iTunes? (12.0) It is really frustrating when trying to listen to one album and I get the album in the list with all 1,025 other albums in my library. Same with the artist.
Welcome to the Discussion Forums
... I assumed that if I played the 1st track, it would continue to play the rest of the album (as iTunes does on my Macs and PCs),...
You assumed correctly, and it should continue to play the rest of the album in order. Does this happen to all your albums. Have you tried restarting the tv. -

You need to connect your phone to your computer and de-select that album in your sync settings in iTunes.
Best of luck. -

I had my ipod synced to an old computer that I no longer have how can i get all my stuff on the new itunes without erasing it
Most Windows users don't.
Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer. -
How can I sort albums by album artist while keeping compilations together?
Argh, I'm getting a bit exasperated. Basically I just want to be able to scroll through cover flow and see all my albums with one cover representing each album, with all the compilations near the end under "V" for various. Surely most people would want to scroll through their albums in this way??
So I've gone through and added all the album artist info, which has worked fine for the artist albums. But for all the "Various" ones, instead of doing the logical thing and grouping them together by album, iTunes orders these all by track artist. There doesn't seem to be any secondary sort function..
I'm always defending Mac and Apple products for their logical applications and ease of use, and now I feel let down.. If there's a way around this please let me know! Thanks,
MalinnaThe trouble you're encountering is that iTunes sorts first by Album Artist, then by Artist. Thus, within each Album Artist, you'll get multiple Artist clumps.
You want to sort "Album by Artist". This will, first, strip out all your compilations and sort them to the end of your library, then sort using the hierarchy Album Artist (or Artist if there is none) > Album > Disc # > Track #. Click the Album column header until Album by Artist is displayed. (You can also choose Album by Year, which will sort albums chronologically within Album Artist.)
If you want to keep albums together, you'll need to sort on an Album column; other columns are bound to clump things by whatever you're sorting on. -
ITunes sort 'Album by artist/year' problems
I've been having problems sorting _some_ albums. I'll give you a specific example:
I rip Simon and Garfunkel's 'The Concert in Central Park' which has 19 tracks. I want them to play in continuous mode, and in order.
I show track number in the columns, make sure all the tracks are of the same album and artist and I don't specify and sort options.
Now I click on the column header 'Album by Artist/Year' and I see that track 16 is first followed by 18, 19 then 1,2,3, etc.
I'm not sure why 16,18 and 19 are out of order, but they are and I don't know what other field it is using to apply this sort order since I've turned off the sort fields. I should say that I think the sort fields are turned off since I selected all tracks, hit command-I and made sure that the artist and album are the same, then went over to the sorting tab and selected each checkbox and made sure that the field was blank. Clicked on OK, then went into each track one at a time and verified that the general info and sort info were as I specified.
If I change the sort column to be just 'Album' then it sorts correctly - I think that the year is messed up, so I add the year column to the display and see that it is 1982. I click on the year and the sort is just fine. I set it back to 'Album by Artist/Year' and the same bizzare sort shows up. The same mis-sort shows with 'Album by Artist' so I do a check on the artist name (even looking for leading or trailing spaces - nothing).
I could probably delete the album and re-rip it, but I would rather find out why the sort is messed up so I can correct this problem if/when it shows up again. I'm aware that I have a few other albums with similar problems.
Thanks,
-MarkReply to my own question.
In the sidebar a similar question was asked (if I could learn how to post the right question in the first place I probably would have found it).
I reset the disc number then the tracks showed up in the correct sort order. I'm pretty sure that the tracks had disc number 1 of 1 before, now they just have _ of _ (blank of blank). -
Sorting songs by 'Album by Artist/Year' bug in iTunes 9.0
As the title suggests, there is a massive bug in the new iTunes when sorting songs by 'Album by Artist/Year.'
Pretty much, it is not separating different discs from the same album. In a 2 disc CD, it goes like this:
Disc 1, Track 1
Disc 2, Track 1
Disc 1, Track 2
Disc 2, Track 2
It is extremely annoying, a major oversight from Apple.
I have attached a screenshot: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3134/itunesbug.jpgHello,
As far as I can see, you can't sort the order of music on the iPod Touch. It is always sorted alphabetically.
Maybe you can suggest that as a feature to Apple.

How can you sort music by artist in iOS 8.02 ?!
HOw can music be sorted by the artist in iOS 8.02 !? It only sorts by song title right now.. why not allow us to select how it is sorted.. like every other NORMAL application in the world?!
Absolutely no help whatsoever.
IT simply say "if" the More button is available.. then you can have options... well, there is NO More button available?!
SO.. how do we get this mystical magical 'More' button!?
AS an aside, iOS 8 IMHO has aTON of little bugs that make it kinky and frustrating to use. -
How Can I Sort Playlists By Artist Name IPOD
Hello to all,
When I select a playlist on my Ipod Color, it will take me to the list of songs in song title alphabetical order. I want to have them appear in artist alphabetical order instead, how can I do this?
RichyHi.
Forget it, asked same question before, and it seems that you can do nothing about it than send feedback to Apple and hope it gets done in a future update-release.
It should be so easy, such a function, but it is definitely not available currently. A real pain.....
Best regards,

How can I prevent apps from syncing in the new iTunes?
Hey there.
I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my ipod touch, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data. The problem is that one of these accounts is an old friend's one and I actually lost all contact with him. So basically now I can't sync my iphone at all or it will delete all my apps.
Has anyone any idea how to sort that out? Or at least knows how to prevent apps from syncing in this new version of itunes?
Thanks for your helpDouble tap the Home button...slide the last used view of the app(above the icon) up. Tap Home button when finished.

How can I transfer songs from iPod on to new iTunes account?
My old laptop shut down, forcing me to buy a new macbook. I do not want to have to copy all my CDs and whatnot to my new laptop again. Without having to transfer the mp3 files on my hard drive to my new mac, is there any way I can sign into my old account (even if the iTunes library is empty) and transfer my IPod library to the new iTunes?

How can i sort folders by Artists and Albums
Hello.
I'm new to Apple and as much as i would love to use it they make things so dark COMPLICATED transitioning from a Windows where they make everything so simple and clean.
Can anyone please tell me that there IS a way to sort all my music folders by artists, albums, and such.
on windows. if i click on a folder/album it will open up and all the songs of that album will be there and i can sort them by the artist.
Here on apple, these stupid folders can only be sorted by DATE MODIFIED, SIZE, KIND, and such. It is so FRUSRTATING!!
If there is a way to sort my folders the WAY i want to with the numerous options like Windows has available, can someone PLEASE show me.
Thank you!Hello.
I'm new to Apple and as much as i would love to use it they make things so dark COMPLICATED transitioning from a Windows where they make everything so simple and clean.
You're kidding right? Windows makes things easier? You can sort by name in any Finder window, but if you're dealing with Music you should be using iTunes. -
Sort Album by Artist/Year Not Working Correctly
For the Beatles, I have bought 3 albums from iTunes - Please Please Me, With the Beatles and Magical Mystery Tour. For some reason, using the above sorting Magical Mystery Tour appears at the top of the list, despite the fact that the year field is correctly entered for all 3. There is no info in the 'Sort Year' field either. I have quite a good understanding of how the iTunes library works, but this has me baffled (and annoyed)

It could simply be a weakness is the way this was all designed. If you look at the information Gracenote uses, it's not unusual for all tracks on a 60's compilation album to be incorrectly listed as the same year, often the year the compilation was released. The same thing tends to happen with re-issued albums. That's down to whoever inputs the information into Gracenote for that album, often a bored record company employee.
First of all, you could try changing the year for each documentary to the year the album was produced and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then you have to decide how to handle it.
Accept it as it is.
Change the year for the documentary to the same year as the album and simply kid yourself that it's the correct year. (I'm not being flippant, but if the documentary is all footage from album release year, then "technically", the doumentary is from that 60's year.)
Leave the year of the documentary track blank, but put the year (2010) into the track's "Comments" field instead.
Propose a workable solution to Apple via Apple Feedback. (I am being a bit flippant now. Sorry, but you'll be in for a long wait before anything might change.)
Get Gracenote to change their text fields, get the people who input the information into Gracenote to do so correctly and then get Apple to change iTunes to recognise those changes. (Now I am being very flippant. Good luck with this one!) Oh! And hope Apple never decide to change from Gracenote to someone else!
Number 2 or 3 are probably your best bet.

On the PC version, you can enable or disable the framerate limiter. When it's turned on, you get 30fps. When it's off, you get well over 60fps depending on how powerful your PC is. To keep it at 60fps, you just turn off the frame limiter and turn on
