How do I get iTunes to sort TV shows properly?

I have season 1-7 of Scrubs on my MacBook, but in iTunes, when in Grid View, and only in Grid View, it sorts the seasons like this: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3 and 7. In List View they are displayed properly. Have I done some tagging wrong? This bugs me 'cause they also show up in the wrong above mentioned order in FrontRow.
Anyone know what to do?
Thanks!

weird, won't let me edit my post. I just reread your post. The referenced link won't work for you. I am actually having the exact same problem right now.
Season's won't sort right in the grid view. All the apple tv seasons I have downloaded sort fine. The seasons I have manually added do not. I don't understand why - I have the them tagged the same way as the ones I downloaded from itunes.
Hopefully someone has a clue.

  • How do I get itunes to sort songs the same way my ipod does, without renaming the songs?

    Itunes and my ipod use different algorithms when sorting songs.  Here are a few examples:
    In itunes, apostrophes come before spaces/other characters  ("It's Good to Be King" comes before "It Keeps You Runnin'" and "You're an Original" comes before "You Better You Bet."  In my ipod, apostrophes come after spaces/other characters.
    In itunes, numerical song titles are sorted by the first number, then the second, and so on (18, 1983, 2112, 25, 3).  In my ipod, numerical song titles are sorted in ascending numerical order (3, 18, 25, 1983, 2112).
    The order is relevant for two reasons.  One, I like the sound of the song flow generated by my ipod's sorting better than the one generated by itunes.  Two, I use play count to determine whether or not to keep a song on my playlist (songs that I skip over repeatedly get cut entirely) and the changing song order tends to mess up the play count.
    So, other than going in and changing the names of the songs, is there some way to make itunes behave like my ipod?

    I deal with the numeric ordering by padding out the sort fields with leading zeros. iTunes used to sort numbers by value but it seems the code for that got removed at some point and hasn't been replaced. You should be able to use sort values to achieve some consistency between the two views of your media.

  • How do i get itunes to organise my music properly

    I must admit that i am not very good at these things and need help.
    I have mostly used windows media player to load music onto my d drive in either mp3 or wma format.
    I sometimes have downloaded [purchased] music via itunes into my itunes folder on my c drive.
    Sometimes i have used itunes to copy cd's into my c:itunes folder.
    in all of this there have been duplicates because i also used nokia media manager to convert my mp3's etc.. to a smaller size in order to put on my phone [was a nokia and now a blackberry].
    thus it is a bit of a mess in there.
    the problem is that itunes is showing all sorts of music on there and for some albums there are 3 or more copies of the songs showing in itunes.
    rather than delete all the music and then reinstall to the hard drive using itunes i would appreciate it if anyone could suggest a method of tidying this lot up.

    I'm not sure about those music selections , but just to make sure, you're clicking the Shuffle button at the top, not the one in the expanded Album view, right?

  • How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?

    To be absolutely honest, I don't really understand what this box is for, so I shall just use it to repeat and expand on my question. (I have already sent a "Feedback" comment on the same topic).
    How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?
    It seems to me that there is something very basic wrong with the way iTunes handles CD Tracks.
    Professionally produced CD tracks are seldom if ever in a randomised order. Why then does iTunes seem unable to display the tracks in the order they appear on the original CD source - whether from a personally owned CD or from a download from the iTunes Store?
    Some music demands a specific, non-alphabetic sequence in order to make sense. Why does it seem that iTunes only offers Alphabetic, or reverse alphabetic order - both of which make a nonsense of the original, often intended order of tracks?
    Why not replace the so-called "cover-art" in the bottom left hand corner if the iTunes window - which, while it may look attractive to some, gives the barest of information concerning the original disc, with a list of the original CD tracks in their original order, so that the user can easily reestablish the order in which they should be played.
    As I would expect legibility might be a problem with doing this, why could not the original contents, (in their original order), at least, be displayed when the "cover art" is double clicked-on - the result of which at present gives me an enlarged version of the "Cover Art". While on the subject of the contents of the source disc, what about all the album notes which someone takes trouble to write in order to increase the appreciation of the music on the CD and the listener's general background knowledge of the artists involved. Such notes, it seems to me, have considerable intrinsic value in their own account. I would, I think, normally be prepared to buy such "Sleeve notes" - so long as a "taster" was supplied (as it is for the music) - for something like the cost of a single 'Tune" on iTunes.
    These two aspects let Apple iTunes down enormously, in my opinion. I think that by chopping even quite protracted sequences of music up into bits does no one any favours - except perhaps Apple's already quite substantial bank balance. People have to be aware that two and a half, to three and a half minutes is a very short time to develop a piece of worthwhile music, and that there are many, many composers, not all of whom are alive today who have written music that huge masses of mankind value for the enrichment of their lives and the human condition in general.
    Please make the viewing of iTunes tracks in their correct order by default possible. By all means have the alphabetical variations available as offering a different approach to the music, but not the sole approach to it - PLEASE.
    Frustratedly yours

    PS I work at my old 24" iMac Intel Core 2 machine which runs OS "Tiger" - because it is more beautiful to look at, the screen is more pleasant to work on, and because, in some ways it is more capable (it will run FreeHand MX without needing a "patch"), than my more recent 21.5" which runs "Snow Leopard". (I don't find it that much slower, either).

    Dear Mike
    Thanks for the support. I am utterly amazed that after all the hype about how good iTunes is that it cannot play a downloaded CD in the correct order, and that what that order should be is not available directly from within one's own iTunes installation. (I know that one can go back to the iTunes Store to check what the order should be, but having downloaded the tracks surely iTunes is clever enough to retrieve this important information.
    My iTunes to differ from yours in that I have also noticed that it seems unable to download copies of my "talking books" in the correct order either. But in my case it downloads them - from a CD - in order, but with the first track downloaded first - so that it appears at the bottom of the column of tracks so that it would get played last! (At least this is, while being inexplicable, a relatively "logical" bit of blundering and because of this is relatively easy to put right!).
    I like many genres of music, some of which are not really programmed except perhaps by the artist performing them. I know that Frank Sinatra was very careful to programme his album songs to obtain a particular effect and in relation to the keys of the music. iTunes presumes to know better.
    Film scores may be totally randomly put together, in some cases, but in others the order is vital to one's appreciation of the music as a whole and how it relates to the plot of the film.
    In symphonic music most works are divided into sections and are conceived by the composer that way. Some individual sections may gain a life of their own if played separately, but they are never complete in the sense that the composer envisaged them without being placed in their proper context.
    Opera and probably most choral music too, is similar except that the words may well become meaningless if the order is changed at the whim of a piece of ill-written computer code, while ballet music has to be heard totally within its sequential context or it becomes meaningless.
    Finally, I would venture that iTunes, by jumbling up the order of the tracks as recorded on a CD, does an immense disservice, not only to the music on a particular CD, but to music in general, by expressing everything in terms of "Songs" - which it seems to interpret as stand-alone items of between 2 and 4 minutes whatever the genre. Even the way the iTunes publicity speaks of how many "songs" it can store instead of how many minutes or hours of recorded sound. This has to be another brick in the wall of "dumming-down" of people's expectations, and the shortening of their attention spans.
    I don't know about anyone else, but I feel betrayed by Apple over this. Perhaps the look, feel and general presentation of an item are not the most desirable features of a consumer product. Maybe it should be judged more on it fitness for the purpose for which it was sold. There is one other possibility - that Apple are trying to redefine "Music" - and that everything that lasts longer than about 3.5 minutes or is in the form of what could for want of a better term be called symphonic in the broadest sense is something else - not "Music" within Apple's new definition, at all!
    Well that's off my chest! now I can get down to creating some sort of order in my iTunes Libraries, knowing that I have to reconsult all the sources in order to confirm the source playing order.
    Anyway thanks again. At least I know that it is not just me

  • How can I get itunes to play one album from start to finish, especially when there are different artists on it?

    How can I get itunes just to play albums from beginning to end? Often if an artist has a guest artist, or there are 'various artists' on the album, it stores them all separately, so listening from beginning to end becomes not one click away, but a multitude of clicks away just to make a play list which returns the album to its original state. Why can't Apple do this as a default?

    If your music is sorted by "Albums", even a compilation is a single click.
    'various artists' on the album, it stores them all separately,
    That happens when you sort your music by "Artist".

  • How do I get Itunes to automatically delete nonexistant songs???

    How do I get Itunes to automatically delete nonexistant songs??? I am referring to the songs that remain on itunes after you change their name or directory or whatever. It takes too long to delete individual songs. Is there some sort of plug-in available? THANKS!!

    10000 responses and you didn't know there was a script that does this?
    It's a Windows specific script (not iTunes).
    On a Mac, we just use Applescript to do this type of stuff. I'm surprised you didn't know this.

  • How do I get iTunes to select among several cd recorders when making a cd?

    I have two CD/DVD recorders and would like to be able to choose which one is used when recording from iTunes.  Only one shows up.  How do I get iTunes to recognize both of them?

    Hi
    All my tracks are MP3.
    In List View, I do not have an Album column I have an Album by Artist column.  If I click on this column the albums look right in the playlist on the screen but when I burn to the CD the tracks are not in one folder per album instead they seem to be in folders per Artist then Album, which as one of the albums is a compilation has created about 30 folders.
    If I switch on the 'Sort by Album' column it burns the disc as I expected.

  • How do I get iTunes to ignore articles again?

    Recently whenever I download a song where the artist has a definite or indefinite article in its name like "The Beatles", iTunes has been sorting that artist under the article instead of ignoring it like it had been doing. I know how to edit the file after it's already been downloaded. What I want to know is how do I get iTunes to ignore articles again when I download songs?

    You're welcome.
    Not near my computer right now - using my iPhone, but it should be under general iPhoto preferences. If not available, this means you are using an older iPhoto version.
    The same preference setting is available via Image Capture preferences with the Image Capture application located in your Applications folder. Image Capture is an alternative to use for importing photos on a Mac for those not interested in using iPhoto for this purpose.

    I have a MacBook Pro 17" computer, and I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 phone, how do I get iTunes on my Android device?

    You don't get the itunes program on your Android devise at all.
    You would need to read the directions for your phone to learn how to put music on it.

  • I imported a cd that I purchased and I can't get it to sync to my phone. All the songs have a grey circle in front of them and the names of the songs are grey as well. How do I get iTunes to see them so they can sync to my iPhone?.

    I've imported 3 cd's to my iTunes, but they continue to be "grey-ed out" with a dotted grey circle in front of them. The music will not sync to my iPhone. How do I get iTunes to recognize them so that they will sync?

    Thanks Chris CA.
    In the Gen 4 they offer "Settings" then "Reset Settings"  Then it asks, "Do you want to reset your iPod?"  I click on "reset" but then nothing resets. :-(  This is what makes me think it might be locked or something....

  • I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone?

    I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone 5. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel and are checked to select them. But they do not show up in iPhone Videos. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone? I recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.6.8

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

    have a subscription to The Telegraph which I purchased before changing my email and apple ID.  How can I get iTunes to change it to current ID

    Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
    Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.
