How do I organise albums chronologically in itunes on my iPad?

If I select an artist within iTunes on my iPad, the albums are listed chronologically. I can't find the settings to change this to alphabetical. Any advice much appreciated!

Hi James,
Thanks for the quick reply. Is this really true? Music on all other apple devices is organised alphabetically yet on the iPad it's chronological and there's no way of changing this setting?! This seems crazy to me as albums are not necessarily dated according to their original creation, but rather reissue date etc. Pet Sounds is scattered all over the place on my iPad!
If you have the sort set to organize by album artist, an album shouldn't be "scattered". You may want to check your tags and make sure Album Artist is consistently set for all tracks. Some of the other tags, such as "part of compilation" can impact this as well. That won't correct the primary issue, but will keep your albums tracks properly grouped.
As for the lack of flexibility in sorting, you might consider submitting feedback to Apple:

    You can only join tracks when importing from a CD and likewise, the Options button is also only visible when importing from CD.
    When the CD is in the drive and showing in iTunes, you will see Options, CD Info and Import CD choices. If you select Options, the Join CD Tracks option only appears when you have two or more adjacent tracks selected. See the screenshots below:

    No, I'm asking about the thumbnails that show the entire library.  Before upgrading to 11 I was able to enlarge the artwork and also change the background color from white to black.
    OK, you are referring to the thumbnails when displaying your library in "Albums" view.  TBOMK, they cannot be adjusted.  (Or at least in iTunes 11.2.2 on Windows, there does not seem to be a way, which does seem a bit strange.)

  • How do you add album art in iTunes 12? everything I've tried doesn't work

    how do you add album art in iTunes 12?

    Two methods:
    Right-click on the album, select Get Album Artwork.  iTunes will determine whether this album is available from the iTunes Store and, if so, download the artwork image from the Store and associate it with the media files.
    Right-click on the album, select Get Info and then the Artwork tab,  Then:
    click the Add Artwork button, navigate to and select an image file on your computer, or
    drag and drop an image file from your computer to the Artwork tab, or
    copy an image to the clipboard (for example, from a web page) go to the Artwork tab and press Ctrl-V (there's a bug in iTunes 12.0.1.26 such that right-click > paste does not work here
    For the second method, you can also access the "old style" editor window from iTunes 11 by holding down Shift as you right-click > Get Info.
    Lastly, there are three cases in which you can follow these procedures but artwork is not correctly associated with or embedded in your media files:
    your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files.  To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
    your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties.  On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white.  Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected.  Now try adding the artwork again.
    Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12).  See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

  • How do I Replace album art in ITunes 12

    How do I replace album art in ITunes 12. Before the upgrade I was able to delete and paste a new one in get info. No can do now!

    The new iTunes 12 Get Info dialog lacks right-click context menus (at least for now) but it still accepts most standard keyboard shortcuts and drag & drop actions.
    Delete Artwork
    On the artwork tab of Get Into, tap the image in question, use Backspace or Ctrl+X. Delete doesn't work.
    Or, tap the image at the top left of Get Info, this time use Backspace or Delete, it is Ctrl+X that doesn't work.
    Add Artwork
    Select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the centre of the Artwork tab, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, select artwork, press Ctrl+C to copy, tap the small image area at the top left, press Ctrl+V to paste.
    Or, you can drag & drop to, or sometimes from, the same locations.
    You can also copy artwork from the Get Info dialog to Windows Explorer with the keyboard shortcuts.
    If the source image is on a web page right-click and use Copy Image rather than copy. (With Chrome I get a one pixel wraparound so tend to go for a temporary local copy anyway - not sure whose bug this is, but it isn't new.)
    If you have multiple images embedded drag the one you want to be the primary artwork to the leftmost position.
    Replace/Remove All Artwork
    The top left image box can be used to add or delete art from multiple tracks. In either case all existing artwork in all tracks is replaced/removed.
    Old Style Get Info Dialog
    Select some items, right-click, hold down shift, then click Get Info from the context menu. (Use alt/option on a Mac)

    You can use Settings > General > Restrictions on each device to require your iTunes password to be entered for every download (and you can block in-app purchases), or you can hide the App Store ('Installing Apps' set 'off') and iTunes store apps so that they can't be used.

    How do I download DVDs into my iTunes for my iPad?

    If you're talking about commercial DVDs, we can't really help you. Most commercial DVDs are encrypted and the Terms of Use of these forums prohibit discussing software or methods of breaking that encryption.
    If you're talking about homemade DVDs, try Handbrake. It's easy to use and has presets for the iPad.

    You must "Add" the tracks to your library. Select Add to Library from iTunes' File menu. Select your downloaded track(s) then click on the Open button in the file dialog. Once added to the library you can select and sync them in the Music configuration tab in the iTunes main window for your device.

    How do I download a movie on iTunes on my ipad, because when it gets to the end of the download it says download error tap to retry but when you retry it still doesn't work.

    You can't if you rented and downloaded it on your iPad, you can only watch it on that. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Does the rental not show in the iPad's Videos app ? You shouldn't need to go via the iTunes store app.

  • How do I place album art in iTunes?

    I have a series of sermons by Francis Chan but have no artwork.  I have a picture I want to attach to the sermons.  How do I upload the pic?

    FYI, you don't "upload" album artwork to iTunes.
    To apply custom album artwork highlight all the tracks you want to the artwork on and do a Get Info. Click the Artwork tab then the "add" button. Navigate to the artwork, select it and click OK, then OK again.

  • How do I add album artwork to iTunes, but NOT to the ID3 tag, manually?

    I imported a lot of mp3s into iTunes. After some messing about with ID3 tags, I got iTunes to download most of the Artwork for my albums.
    I've found a lot of the other covers using Slothradio, and I started to copy the images into iTunes. However, I noticed that it was actually adding the images into the ID3tags.
    When I checked the music for which iTunes downloaded the covers, it DIDN'T put the artwork into the tags.
    So, how do I add the covers to iTunes like it does itself, without putting them in the ID3 tags?
    Any help appreciated.
    Cheers,

  • How do I download album artwork from iTunes on my Mac to my iPod touch?

    I have album artwork in iTunes on my desktop Mac.  I want to have that artwork with my albums and songs on my iPod Touch?  I don't see an obvious way to move or synch the artwork, except possibly replacing all music on my iPod with what is in iTunes.  I don't want to do that because I synch with my office and home computers and the music is not identical on the two computers.

    Thanks for your help, but I already have the album artwork on my desktop Mac (connected with its appropriate album).  When I synch my iPod (or simply copy the new album to my iPod), the artwork does not show up.  I could choose Synch Music, but that would then I get this message:  "All existing content on the iPod will be removed and replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library."  This would cause me to lose music place on my iPod from my home computer, which I don't want to do.
