IN Leopard Itunes, album view has become album view by year

Sort of self-explanatory - ever since upgrading to Leopard my Album view, has changed now to Album by year. Not good.

Answering my own question, but if you keep pressing the tab, it toggles to the view you want.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
I don't sync music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them. Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view. I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again.
These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes. My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues.
Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

ITunes music view: Albums by Artist/Year. Still not what I want it.

Ok, what I'm looking for from iTunes is for it to organize my music by album. Put all the albums together regardless of the artist. Then I want it to lump albums by a single artist together. Then organize that by year. Is that possible? Currently when I use the Album by artist/year, the albums with multiple artists aren't together. They're all over the place according to the artists name. I want my coverflow view to look like I'm going through a jukebox. Jukebox view. How's that for a setting, Apple?

f it happens every time you get a new computer, one would think you would have figured it out by now...
Media sync is one way. Computer -> Phone. Copy the media from your old computer to the new computer. Then let iTunes wipe it off of your phone and re-sync.
The only media you can transfer from the phone to the computer is media purchased on the phone from the iTunes store. Use File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes to do that.

Sort order when using "Album by Artist/Year" album list view

In iTunes 10, I seem to have lost the sorting I've been using for the past 5 years at least. I use the "Album List" view, and have the album artwork showing to the left of the songs. I see the new "Album by Artist/Year" sort option in the album artwork column, and that is how I would like it to sort. However, now the album are arranged by artist, and within the artist by the year they were released as tagged in the info for each song. I want the newest albums at the top, and I cannot figure out how to make it sort that way. What do I need to do? Basically I want it in descending order by release date, but still sorted by album.

It appears they are, although I refuse to believe this is the accepted behaviour - has no one else complained about this?
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.

Various errors, incorrect version of track (from iCloud restore) from an iTunes album

Sorry for being a bit vague describing the problems but they are too complicated to summarize in 1 sentence.
I bought a number of albums from iTunes last December, including LeAnn Rimes "I Need You". I have a car that allows me to play iTunes music copied onto its HD from a USB drive. I copied the iTunes music from my MacBook Pro onto the USB drive and then transferred the music to the HD in my car.
I subsequently discovered that some of the music was skipping when played in my car and the dealer thought the HD in the stereo only supports MP3. It was strange because track 4 in "I Need You" sounded very odd, like it was not the original track from the album but a re-mixed version. I thought it was corrupted due to the MP4 format not being supported. At any rate I decided to convert the iTunes tracks to MP3 on my MacBook Pro using iTunes 11.0.4
I selected all the iTunes albums and instructed iTunes to make MP3 copies.
When iTunes got to the 4th track in "I Need You", it reported an error trying to copy the track and stopped. When I tried to manually copy the track, iTunes said my computer was not authorized to play the track and asked me to log in. When I logged in, iTunes said the computer was already authorized and that I had 1 computer authorized and could authorize 5. When I tried to play the track, I got the same iTunes error about not being authorized again.
When I did a "Get info" on the track I noticed it was purchased on the same occasion as all the other tracks in that album but unlike the other tracks it was missing the name of the person who bought it - me.
I deleted the track and enabled iCloud to download another copy. That worked but the track that was downloaded sounds very strange, not like the original track of the album but like a re-mixed version. like the one that played in my car. Track #4 "You Are" from the "I Need You" LeAnn Rimes album is from 2001, an old album. But the re-downloaded version sounds like a recent re-mix. I know this because I have 2 iPads which also contain copies of this iTunes album.
The newer iPad Mini syncs with my Mac frequently and has weird problems with this same album (phantom duplicate tracks that don't play anything) and when I try to play track 4 it plays track 5 instead. On the other hand my iPad 2 is still running iOS 5 and it plays the original track #4 correctly and has no strange issues with anything. The iPad 2 does not get synced very often because it stays at home whereas the iPad Mini travels with me.
I suspect my iTunes library got corrupted by iCloud. The version of track 4 for "I Need You" is not the track I bought. There was a recent occasion when I noticed iCloud was enabled on my MacBook Pro out of the blue without my permission and all my music were showing duplicates. I turned off iCloud and thought it was some sort of fluke occurrence. But now, I think it may have a connection to my problem today. iCloud may have downloaded a new version of the track to my iTunes library on my MacBook.
What is going on with this iTunes album??? How can I restore my libraries with the correct album tracks? Can someone in iTunes please contact me - I can play both copies of the track and you can judge for yourself. This is really bizarre.
Thanks.

I agree the track was somehow corrupted but it was likely not during the original download as it played just fine for over 4 months. Another USB drive copy of the same track also plays fine on my other vehicle's stereo. My concern is primarily regarding how it got "munged" on my MacBook. Maybe it's getting old. I notice my battery is on its last legs.
Fair enough, although the age of the file really has nothing to do with it. Digital files do not degrage over time like, say, a printed piece of paper.
I suppose what could have happened is the track could have become damaged by copying it around on storage media that might have damaged blocks. But that is just speculation on my part. I don't know how accurate it might be. At any rate a simple re-download from your purchase history, or restoration from your backups should solve the problem.

Refresh iTunes album art fails in DM6

Hi,
I'm trying to import iTunes album art into Desktop Manager 6 and about halfway through, the process fails. I've checked the log files and found this info that might be relevant:

The log points to a possibly corrupted album art image, but it would be desirable if the Desktop manager could simply ignore that exception and resume the import. Has anybody else encountered this problem?

After having no itunes media sync issues with my 238 albums, other than album art for "Greatest Hits" albums getting mixed up, i have found that DM 6 gets the album art correct, but will not sync approximately 238 of 1500 files. Who knows how to fix this one. I am through with RIM, Blackberry and DM. I don't understand why they can't get this stuff right.

I get this message when I try to Play iTunes album:

I get this message when I try to Play iTunes album: Adobe Reader could not open 'Digital Booklet - Oh, What a Life.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
Do I need to set a different app to open the file? if so which one?
Thanks for reading.

Hi ihrtthecowboys,
When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, see the following article:

Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

ITunes album songs wrong sequence/wrong order

Hi there,
I'm experiencing a problem with the song sequence in certain albums (I purchased these songs on iTunes by the way).
When in Album view, in the Sting album "Ten Summoner's Tales (Remastered)" the nr.10 song "Shape Of My Heart" is placed in front of nr.1, "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You".
When in Songs view, everything seems fine when I select the "Album by Artist/Year" view. I tried to renumber the nr.10 song to a different nr and back. I also tried changing the album into a compilation of songs by different artists. The disc nr. is the same for every song. I also tried to check and uncheck the shuffle button.
"The Soul Cages" by Sting shows the songs in a completely random order.
Every other album seems to be perfectly fine with the song orders. I can't find anything on the net that describes the same problem as I'm having.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone is able to help me out!

This might be a special case, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
I made a "kid safe" version of a comedy album so that I can play it when my kids are around. To do this, I had to edit some of the MP3 files (to remove the questionable material) and then add a new "Edited" version of the album to iTunes. When I did that, the songs on the new version appeared out of order in either Album or Artist (but OK under Songs and on an iPod and iPhone).
After looking at the differences between the original and altered files, I saw that the editing program did not keep the "Disc 1 of 1" information for the edited tracks. Once I added that back in (via Get Info), everything was sorted by track number again.
If that isn't your problem, look for any other "Get Info" inconsistencies between the tracks on the album.

My iTunes album discovery widget does not work properly.

Hi,
I wanted to use the iTunes album discovery widget from apple.com for my website to promote a new release of mine. While the widget will take you to my iTunes page when you click on view, it will not play audio when one presses play on the song selection of the widget at my website. The play and stop feature seem to work, but no sound. I put in some major acts into the widget and I had the same issue. I contacted Apple and they told me they are not responsible for their widgets and to find someone who knows more about them possibly so here I am.

ITunes album purchased but not downloaded

I have purchased hundreds of songs and have not had any problems. I purchased an album last week and it did not properly download and now I can't seem to restart the download or locate where it is. It is NOT on my iMac or my iPod. How do I restart a dowload or is that possible?

What has APPLE done to the ITUNES music store interface ?
I had recently reinstalled my OSX 10.4.6 then went on travel and forgot to have my computer authorized - I had more than $200 in purchased music, but was not using it. When I tried, despite putting the correct account info, I was getting message 9183. Then I read the "instructions" try contacting your ISP bla bla. No all ISPs are equally receptive in reading long instructions for what is for them just another program that is incompatible with their firewall. Why should they bother, and APPLE describtion in the support-base is entirely disingenious.
I tried three different ISPs. Same issue, all three had worked before, I have been buying music from my office in Crete, my house in Athens and when travelling. How come all three different ISPs had suddenly decided to fear the ITUNES store ? Then I used an older IMAC G4 with ITUNES 6.0. No problem with the ISP, got my computer authorized, could play my music, etc etc. Of course the issue is that I want my PB g4 authorized not the relic. Clearly, the PB was deuathorized during re-installation of the OS.
So, here is where your problem lies. Somehow ITUNES 6.04 has some patch that interferes with non US IPs during authorization. Can you see any other reason why ITUNES 6.0 with authorize and ITUNES 6.04 wouldn't ?

I would like to transfer all data from my iPod classic to my new computer with windows 8.1. My old computer's cpu died. Utilizing iTunes which only allows iTunes albums purchased at iTunes store. The cd's were loaded via iTunes originally.

Install disk drive from old computer in an external enclosure.
Then copy the complete iTunes library from the disk drive to the disk drive in the new computer.

Can I merge or combine 2 "album artwork" folders? I have saved music onto an external server from 2 computers but the artwork that I have manually imported remains in the default folder in the music/itunes/album artwork folder on the respective PCs. Thx

i.e. artwork uploaded on one PC won't apppear on the other PC because it is saved locally...
I'm confident that i won't beable to just merge the 2 because thy'll have the same folder names.
On the same note: can I have iTunes create these files on the external server/Hard drive also so that either computer can use them at the same time?
(like I have my library- can the other files be saved remotely)
Thx

Not possible. You need to update to v10.6.8
Click your Apple menu > Software Update
Or update using the this download > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Then restart your Mac.

ITunes album art screensaver no longer works

My screensaver suddenly no longer displays the iTunes album artwork library.
Instead it's a black screen saying "Your iTunes Library does not contain any songs with artwork.
What happened here? Album artwork shows up fine in iTunes and the screensaver used to work just fine...

Update: I downgraded back to iTunes 8 - and the album artwork screensaver is finally back!
I also missed the photo album sorting feature with non-iPhoto photo syncing,
so for now the iTunes downgrade works for me ...
Hoping Apple will fix some of these issues with one of the next updates!
