How can I sort audio by tracks within each album?

I am trying to use an ipod to listen to a series of lectures. The lectures are organized in a specific sequence of tracks. This is similar to songs in an album except that I need to listen to them in a specified order. Listening to the lectures in a random order is totally useless because it's confusing.
I tried a number of ways to sort the files and the ipod just refuses to cooperate. I even manually renamed each file to start with a number for easy sorting. The ipod still refused to cooperate. I am almost ready to get a hammer to fix it permanently.
I guess I am the only person who has this request since it's so difficult to make the ipod work as needed.

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
When you say lectures, have they been downloaded via iTunes U? If so ordering may be chaotic and based on release date. Otherwise generally all you need to do is set a track number and give all the items the same album name. If all else fails create a playlist and drag things into the order you require.
See http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp for more on organising within iTunes.

  • How can I sort content into a-z of album titles

    Hi Everyone
    Hope someone out there can help.  I run two libraries on one pc at home, in library one I have the album icon view and I click on "Album" at the top and my albums are organised a to z by album title.  However in library two, I cannot get itunes to do this, I have the same album icon view i click on "Album" on the top bar and it organises my albums a-z by artists name.  I cannot see what I am doing wrong in library two.  Any advise will be most welcome.
    regards

  • How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

    How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

    Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken.
    You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated.
    If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool.

    Only albums can be sorted manually. Events can only be sorted automatically according to one of the predefined settings "Date, Keywords, Title, Rating".
    If you need a manual sort order, selectaall photos in the event and create an album: File > New Album

  • My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

    My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested.  How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
    As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

    Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
    I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
    What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
    Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
    Peace,

  • How can I sort lines of data (alphabetically) in the new pages 5.0?

    How can I sort lines of data (alphabetically) in the new pages 5.0?
    It was very simple to do in the previou version of pages.

    I'm not sure why people are torturing themselves with Pages 5 given the nearly universal outcry on this forum and the incredibly negative reviews elswhere, such as the App Store.
    Pages 4.3 should still be in an iWorks folder within your Applications folder.  Just use that.
    Please remember to tell Apple what we need from them at:

  • 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,
    Malinna

    The 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.

  • How can I create a second sheet within a tab?

    How can I create a second sheet within a tab? I have tried to add another table but it shows up on top of the existing table. I want to have two sheets or tables within one tab so I can further sort and categorize within a section. Is this possible? Thanks for all the help!

    You can insert a new table on the View Responses Tab with
    Insert > Table
    You can also insert a new sheet with a new table with
    Insert > Sheet
    You can drag and drop the table if it does overlap with another table. Just select the table you want to move and drag the top-left corner of the table to move it.
    Hope this helps

    Frank,
    I tried to find some examples/samples on how to create CollectionModel for a table component but not successful.
    Can you clarify the following ?
    1. "CollectionModel" is referenced only by af:table attributes "value", "selectedRowKeys" and "selectionListener".
    The rest of af:table attributes such as "rows", "fetchSize" used to reference the iterator binding in the binding container via the EL expression "#{bindings.VOIteratorBinding.xxx} .
    What should I replace that EL expression with?
    2. I heck out the bean method to create the CollectionModel as following, is it close to what you mean?
    public void initBusinessDataDashboardView() {
    OperationBinding operation = BeanUtils.getOperationBinding("getPanelBusinessData");
    Map params = operation.getParamsMap();
    Key panelKey = getPanelInfoView().getKey();
    params.put("panelKey", panelKey);
    params.put("maximizedView", false);
    panelView = (ViewObject)operation.execute();
    // Heck code to create CollectionModel
    RowSet rowSet = panelView.getRowSet();
    ArrayList rowList = new ArrayList();
    while (rowSet.hasNext()) {
    rowList.add(rowSet.next());
    model = new ChildPropertyTreeModel(rowList, null);
    // To be used to set up af:table value, selectRowKeys, selectionListener via EL expr #{backingBeanScope.MyBean.model.xxx}
    public CollectionModel getModel() {
    return model;
    Am I on the right track?

  • Pages:  How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

    How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?  I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table.  It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well.  I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

    Hi Peter,
    Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
    In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
    iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
    As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
    With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
    In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.

  • How can I sort using a secondary characteristic structure?

    Hello -
    We have started using chracteristic structures in Query Designer 7.0 to group materials/customers for reporting.  Our users love it except that I can't find a way to allow them to sort by a key figure (in a regular column structure) within the characteristic row structure. 
    Here's an example. 
    Net Sales is the Key Figure in the Column Structure.
    Key Customers / Groups is the structure in the rows.  There are selections build for each customer group with indidual customers assigned to each group within the structure.
    The users need to sort the individual customers within each customer group in descending order by Net Sales.
    There's no sorting icon available for the key figure column.
    If you try to sort in the key figure properties, it doesn't work or says "not applicable".
    I've tried creating a condition with 100% but that doesn't work either. 
    We are using BEx Analyzer 7.0 but it doesn't appear to work with the Web Analyzer either.
    Can anyone provide any type of "trick" to accomplish this requirement? 
    Thank you for your help.
    Ann
    Key Customers / Groups                                                                               Net Sales
    Customer Group A (selection)
    Customer 1
    Customer 2
    Customer Group B (selection)
    Customer 3
    Customer 4
    Customer 5
    Customer Group C (selection)
    Customer 6
    Customer 7
    Customer 8

    Hi,
    i think i´ve builded up something similar within a workbook. You just need two querys, one workbook, some standard excel functionality and a makro for sorting the data at the end. I think this should be less work than building a worksheet for every sub group.
    The first query will only select the upper elements of the structure (in your example: "customer group") . The second query will select the complete structure like you´ve builded it originally. The first query needs a ranking key figure. (you can do it by the excel ranking function or BW function, depends on how building that query). Now you put the ranking key figure behind the second query by the excel function "v-lookup". Then you add a second column behind the second query with a excel-ranking funktion for the key figure of the second query which should be sorted. At least you add a third column which identifies the kind of characteristic structure element (for example by if-then function on the key: 1= customer group 0=customer).
    Then you´ll have only to sort the complete second query by those three new columns ´- in best case by a makro - and thats it.
    Hope i could help you with that.
    Greetings,
    Olaf

  • How can I sort iTunes my way?

    I've inported a bunch of new albums that have the artist and album name in lower case text. So to keep the library consistant, I went in to infor and gave the begining of each work a capital letter - then itunes creates a new album with the 1st track leaving the original album without its first track. so when I've done this i end up with two albums with two of the same cover art but 1 only has the first track and the other missing the first track. weneverr i've tried to keep my itunes library by putting in solo songs into an album i go to get info and type in the exact details but it will only work 50% of the time.
    How can I sort my iTunes Library my way?  

    When you edit the info for a whole album, use the multiple info window.   Select all the songs in the album and open the get info window.  Your edits will be applies to all the tracks you have selected.

  • HT1338 How can I sort folders in descending sequence

    How can I sort folders in descending sequence?

    There are two display options in the Finder, Arrangement and Sort. They are both under the same menu item/toolbar button. A regular click brings up the Arrangement menu. Holding down the option (alt) key brings up the Sort menu.
    Except for Arrange by Name, all of the Arrangements are groupings. It groups the items by whatever criteria you chose. Within the groups, you can sort the items by other criteria.
    If you arrange by Name, you can't sort by anything else.
    Also, with an Arrangement set, you cannot adjust the sort direction.
    To control the sort direction, set Arrangement to None, and sort by Name. Open the List view of that folder and click on the sort triangle in the column header.

  • How can left channel audio be put on right side?

    how can left channel audio be put on right side? or made into mono track as a work around?

    The Loop browser and the track have a fixed size. You can only hide the Loop Browser by pressing the Loops button in the footer to make the time line longer.
    Or drag the resize corners to enlarge the GarageBand application window. Have you set your display to the maximum possible resolution in the for your screen in the System preferences > Display?
    If you have only a small 13" screen, try to resize the GB WIndow beyond the bounds of the screen by pushing the trackheads beyond the left border and dragging the right resize corner.

  • How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.

    How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.
    I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
    I get video every time.  HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
    just no audio.  Any suggestions? 
    I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
    I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

    Claudiamil-
    I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did.  I'm using a small Vizio HDTV.  I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers.  In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
    I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down.  Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.
