How does the iPod sort artists?

Hopefully this can be answered easily and quickly. I was changing the fields on a few artists and noticed that is has the album artist listed like The Beatles. Which while being true is a real pain. If that's how the iPod lists all the artists under The. Does it work sorting them under Artist? Or album artist?

It sorts on Artist unless teh Album Artist field is filled in.
If you do nto want to use the Album Artist field, don't.
Or you can fill in the *Sort Artist* field.
Right click on one song by The Beatles.
Clcik on the Sort tab.
In the *Sort Artist* field, put Beatles, then OK.
On this song, right click -> Apply Sort Field and select Same Artist.
This will copy Beatles to the *Sort Artist* field for all songs by The Beatles.
The Beatles will now be sorted under B.

How does the iPod organize content?

When I manually add content to my video iPod, how does the iPod know where to put it? Does it go into Movies, Music, TV shows, podcasts, etc? Does it rely on the mp3 id tags??? If yes, can I force a movie to go into the music folder my simply changing mp3 id3 tags?
30G video ipod Windows XP Pro

1 I by its tag
2 depends on the files tag
3 No...mp4 and m4a files have diffrent tags then mp3s
In iTunes 6.0.5 if you change the "VIdeo Kind" it will sort correctly. Just right click file, and in the options tab change the setting under "VIdeo Kind".
Besides iTunes if you want to change a tag you have to use a mp4/m4a tag editor program like "YAMB ver 2 preview" it can change your tags and much more and its free http://yamb.unite-video.com/
you can try YAMB ver 1.6 but I don't think it works very well with tags.

HT4221 How does the Ipad5 sort photos synced from a computer

How does the Ipad5 sort photos synced from a laptop?

Hi Nancy 2803,
I am guessing you want to sync photos from your iPhone 5S to a Laptop i.e. a Windows Laptop.
Firstly when you insert your iPhone into your computer, go to:
1.     Computer
2.     Wait for the Laptop to recognize the iPhone
3.     Right Click on your iPhone Named: [NAME iPhone] or something simular
4.     Click import pictures and videos
5.     Click import settings
6.     Click Folder Name
This folder name is how the images will be arranged, either:
a) Date imported and Tag
b) Date Taken and Tag
c) Tag and Date imported
d) Tag and Date taken
e) Tag and Data Taken Range
f) Tag
I use Date Taken and Tag as this allows me to see in my pictures library a date and the images taken that date, i.e. all the images taken on the 25/12/2013, if you use date imported, you just get all your images stored in one folder and cannot quickly find images on a date.
In this setting you can also change the folder to where the images/videos will be saved, the name of the images as well as options such as delete images from the device once imported.
Many Thanks, Happy New Year and I cannot wait to hear from you again in regards to this issue.

How does the ipod touch connect to the internet?

I am looking at buying my kids the ipod touch 4th genreation but how does it connect to the internet or is it just itunes?

Wirelessly - WiFi. iTunes provides the means to sync directly with the computer and to make backups that are stored on the computer along with the library of music, movies, apps, etc. With iOS 5 or 6 installed it can sync wirelessly as well.

How does the iPod Classic Respond to Multiple Album Artworks?

iTunes allows you to put more than one artwork as the file's album art ... does it ever cycle through them, or is it just "there", taking up precious bytes?

To date, the firmware only ever shows the first image in any given file. You can, however, give different artwork to different tracks and the iPod will display the appropriate image. An example I have is Mike Oldfield's "Light & Shade", the first CD is "Light" while the other is "Shade". I have this arranged as a single 22 track album within iTunes with the "Light" artwork on the first 13 tracks and the "Shade" artwork on the other 9. As far as I can tell the iPod draws on a separate artwork cache created during the sync process for displaying artwork. I assume this would only store the primary image from any given file, however the original data is still embedded in the media file so to that extent the data is still "there". In the scheme of things it's hardly likely to be a problem unless you routinely embed dozens of images into each track. If you drop images onto the album art panel in iTunes they will be appended to any existing images. If you *Get info* for multiple tracks & paste in the artwork box there then all the images are replaced with the single new image.

It doesn't display, the ipod only displays/uses the first piece of cover art. So yes since the artwork is embedded in the track it's just there taking up space.

Does the ipod touch bring alot of revenue for apple if so how much?

How much revenue does the ipod bring?

For the last quarter of 2011:
Once again, however, iPods are the one category that continues to decline in the face of the growth of smartphones. Apple sold a total of 15.4 million iPods -- over half of which were iPod touches -- which represents a 21 percent decline from the 19.4 million sold a year ago. The holiday shopping season did boost sales considerably from the 6.6 million sold in the previous quarter, though.

i am having major issues! this does not work i dont understand..does the ipod have to be off while pressing the buttons if so how is it possible if it is connected to the computer either way it turns on..and when i tried these steps while the ipod was on it still doesnt work it just asks me “slide to power off” please someone help me i just cant seem to put my ipod in DFU mode

To get the iPod in recovery mode and DFU mode you first have to turn the iPod off.
Just what is the problem you are tying to resolve?
Sometimes you have to let the battery fully drain if you can't turn the iPod off. After charging for at least hour try again.

This thread - with a quote from an LR4 Beta thread - says that all 6 central Basic controls in PV2012 (Exposure thru Blacks) are now image-adaptive, as were Recovery, Fill Light, and Clarity in previous versions:

Whether they are suitable for creating a Timelapse sequence without significant flicker is entirely subjective and up to you - and of course, dependant on your specific images & how they change over time. Sorry, not much advice beyond try PV2012, and revert back to PV2010 if you get too much flicker.

How does the shake to shuffle work on ipod touch 4g?

So, i want to know how does the shake to shuffle work, i opened the music player and started playing a song but when i shake the ipod, nothing happens, the option of shuffle on the screen is still white and when the song currently playing ends, the next one in alphabetical order starts. The shake to shuffle option in settings is On.

The iPod can only tether via Bluetooth for internet connectivity to an iPhone. It will connect to other phones to tether for internet connectivity if the phones can act like a wifi hotspot.

Does the Ipod nano 4th gen keep track of playcounts?

I am not talking about how many times you play a song on the computer on itunes. but does the ipod itself keep track how many times you play a song on the ipod? where can i find this information?

I did that, and it is completely the same. Here is pictures of it
this right here is my top 25 for my ipod....
http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/7069/top25onipodqg6.png
what you see right here is teh same exact playcounts that is seen on my computer's top 25 when no ipod is connected. there are some wierd differences though, for example flashing lights on my ipod is played only like 5 times or something, whereas on the computer its number 3 played with 375 times played. also pepita(the song on the bottom of the list), is on my top 25 on my computer, but i have not played it yet on my ipod, and the ipod's top 25 accurately shows this. so basically the ipod's top 25 accurately tells teh playcounts for flashing lights and pepita, but not for the rest.
can anyone make any sense of this? how do i find the playcounts for solely my ipod?

How does the Iphone go offline so often?

How does the Iphone go offline so often?

My son has an iPod 5 and it goes offline as soon as it locks (this occurs under both IOS 6 and IOS 6.1). This renders the "Find my iPod/iPhone" useless. How can I keep the iPod online?
