In songs view, sort by 'album' alone stopped working

I normally prefer to view my songs in iTunes using the 'Songs' view, listing everything with the details shown. I'll usually set it to sort by 'Album'.
Clicking on the 'Album' header used to give me options that I could cycle through, but suddenly it is stuck on sorting only by 'Album by Artist', and I no longer have the option to simply sort by 'Album' alone.
I am unable to restore the ability to sort only by 'Album', have gone through all of the menu choices in how I view or sort my albums. Can anyone suggest a reason for this happening, and a way to fix it?
I have not made any changes to my system software or applications recently that would be obvious causes for this happening. All of my software is up-to-date.
iMac (mid-2007); OSX 10.9.4, iTunes 11.3.1 (2)

I've tried re-installing my iTunes software and searched throughout the forums and elsewhere without so far being able to determine how to resolve this difficulty.
In case my original question formulation was not clear, in the past I could click on the header (while viewing my iTunes library in 'Songs' view) and cycle through "Album", "Album by Artist", in either ascending or descending order, and so forth.
Now I'm only able to chose between "Album by Artist", either ascending or descending. There is no "Album" view option available to me, as there has always been in the past.
I'm completely puzzled as to how this happened. Perhaps I inadvertently hit the wrong key combination while using iTunes and it changed something, I just don't know.
I would really appreciate it if any other forum members have suggestions as to how I might fix this!

The new update limits album sorts to album by artist year and is too limiting. How do I get the standard sort by album alone

The new update limits album sorts to album by artist year and is too limiting. How do I get the standard sort by album alone?

Click the heading of the Album column to cycle between Album, Album by Artist and Album By Artist/Year.

Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

ITunes 11 [Songs view] - Sort on artist, then year

I just downloaded iTunes 11 and there seem to be some features missing compared to iTunes 10. One of the most important issues is that in the "Songs" view, I cannot seem to sort on (1) Artist and (2) Album year. It seems that iTunes is automatically sorting as (1) Artist, (2) Album name alphabetically. For example, for Norah Jones, first the album Little Broken Hearts (2012) is displayed, and after that the album Not Too Late (2007). Does anyone know if this can still be done in iTunes 11 or is the feature missing completely? Interestingly enough, in the "Albums" view, there is an option to sort by Artist, then Year (view --> view options).
Another issue, which I believe has been adressed in other topics as well, is the complete missing of albumart in the "Songs" view. Consequently, this was also the place in iTunes 10 where you could choose to sort on Arist/Year. I really hope that Apple puts this feature back in iTunes 11 as soon as possible.

Yep, I'm seeing the same thing. Just downloaded iTunes 11 and now I can't sort albums by year in the "Artists" view. I used to prefix all my album mp3 tag names with the year number to work around this, but removed it when Apple added the Artist/Year sort. Now it's gone. Yay!
A note: you can use the free mp3tag.de software to insert your year tag into your album titles using regular expressions. If there doesn't seem to be any obvious solution to sorting by Artist/Album/Year in the next couple days, then I'll post here with some tips if anyone is interested.

Albums eventually stop working/playing, stay in iTunes, will play in other

I have abotu 5400 songs in my library, about 90% are MP3s I have ripped from my CDs.
Recently I have noticed that certain entire albums which have worked in the past stop playing... they are still listed in the library, the files actually reside where they are supposed to, and the MP3 files will even play in other apps like Windows Media Player.
Sometimes files like this will still play on my iPod. In most cases, though, if I were to navigate to that particular album on my iPod and try to play it, the ipod would attempt to play each track for about one second, and pretty quickly skip through the entire album.
When I click on them in iTunes, nothing happens. No error, just no response at all. I also notice that when this happens, the "Album Artwork Not Modifiable" message comes up in the album artwork window. I checked to see if these files had somehow become read-only, but that does not appear to be the case. All of the play history for the tracks is intact.
Most of the library is fine.
Any ideas?

Otto,
"I have absolutely no idea what would break an M4A file, though. Different tag methodology entirely"
Here's what I posted in the lounge....
- Song is in an Apple Lossless format
- Song file is present and visible within the Windows Explorer
- Properties indicate that it is not Read-Only or Hidden
- Properties can be changed back and forth within WinExp
- Song reference visible but not playable within iTunes
- Reference cannot accept any Album Artwork (Not Modifiable message)
- Other attributes can be modified: title, album, artist, etc.
- Song cannot be converted within iTunes (comes up as a 'null' song: no time and minimal filesize)
- A copy of the song made in Windows environment and moved to a temp folder cannot be successfully 'Added' to iTunes. Result: no time and minimal filesize
The song came in originally with a boatload of text in the title, artist and album. I am wondering if the ID tags are somehow corrupted, and preventing the song from playing within iTunes. All other songs from this album are playing fine.
When attempting to play this particular song, the speaker flashes for a second, then moves to the next song in the list. The time slider-bar does not move off of zero.
I have tried to change the start time, but that does not change its behaviour.
And...
It's an Apple Lossless file of 3:15 in time, 22.6MB in size, and listed at 969kbps. The size corresponds favorably to other files of similar length. The time listed is spot-on to what Allmusic.com has listed for it (Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band - You're Sixteen, You're beautiful and You're Mine - Anthology...So Far).
Other than that, I cannot tell if it got corrupted.
I did download and install Tag&Rename to look at the file. It gave me a jpg error when viewing the file. I erased the 'garbage' in that tag, but after saving, the file would still not play within iTunes. Tried to erase all tags with a backup copy, but that did not play as well.
I don't have access to the original CD, but will in a few days. I can try re-importing it, but it would be nice to understand what went haywire -- or at least have a method to investigate it further.

Hi JayJT,
The Miscellaneous is located in the contact list that you used for the connection.
So , you need to edit the page, then edit the contact list that you used, in the web part properties of the contact list, you will find Miscellaneous, then expand it and select ‘Server Render’ .
I hope this helps.

Album FLow stopped working in iTunes

All of a sudden Album flow says "Itunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer". I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and that was not help. I have it rebuild the library and that was not help. So what do I do now?

Correct the problem is with the Cover Flow view where the artwork will not display. The art work displays in Album View.

List View in the event browser stopped working.

Recently I was using Final Cut pro X when it crashed, when I re-opened the application I found that List View in my event browser no longer displayed any content, filmstrip view appears to work but I had gotten quite fond of list view.
Is there a way to get it running again? I've already tried Restarting, shutting down and booting up again, taking out my external hard disk before opening FCPX then putting it back in again..

We have the same FCP X issue. Filmstrip view works, switch to List view and it shows nothing. We even tried closing in List view, then reopening, it reopens in Filmstrip. We have rebooted as well, with no effect. Anyone find a work around?

I am not able to view videos on youtube, it stopped working last night after a brief power outage. What do I need to do to restore the ability to view youtube videos?

The power went out for a few seconds, when I went to watch videos on youtube, I was not able to. What do I need to do to restore this option. It seems to affect only youtube videos.

View Playlist by Album NOT by Song

Hi
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I've done a lot of searching but can't find the answer.
On an iPod can I view, for example, my Recently Added playlist by album? At the moment when I go to this playlist I just get a list of songs, albeit sorted in album order - so if I want to listen to a particular album I recently added, I have to remember the name of the first track on that album and scroll down to it.
This isn't practical, or always possible. Surely the playlist can also by viewed by album? Or will it only list each individual track on every album in the playlist?
Thanks for any light you can shed...

I'm trying to keep my wife's music in a somewhat seperate location so she doesn't have to scroll past all of my stuff (which she doesn't like). I thought if I had her albums in a playlist, she could go right to that. Viewing the album menu shows too much that she doesn't need to see.

Itunes has stopped working when I double-click a song

Well my itunes usually take a while to start up because I've got a lot of music and videos in it, but today it takes no time to start, but when I try to launch a song I get the 'Itunes has stopped working Windows is looking for a solution' message, I repaired it, doesn't work, uninstalled then reinstalled it, doesn't work neither.
It can't play music, videos or open Apple Store, but otherwise it doesn't crash at all, I can create new playlists etc.
And when I right click on a song and choose 'obtain information' I get a blank window with normal buttons like 'OK' or 'Cancel' but nothing else, when I click on a button Itunes crash...
Please!
I'm running on Windows 7 64bits
And by the way I made a system clean up yesterday, so it may be caused by this...but how can I undo it :S

Well it's working fine again.........................................I don't get it - -

Sort By Label Doesn't Work

The company I'm working for uses Finder Labels to organize a lot of their data. So they tend to keep their windows in list view, sorted by label. This worked out fine until the upgrade to Tiger. Now when they open folders on the server they have to click a few folders before the finder will sort them by label correctly. The fix only applies to that level though. If they twirl down one of the sub-folders, that folder is not sorted properly. Of course once they click on a few folders in that sub-folder, the Finder will eventually sort them correctly.
I have reproduced this problem on machines running 10.4.3 and 10.4.5 accessing files on both Windows 2000 server and OS 10.4.3 Server. This problem only occurs when accessing folders over the network. It does not happen with local files. This problem is not reproducible on 10.3.9.
Has anyone else seen this issue? Is this a bug, and if so, has it been reported?

I'm really looking for confirmation more than a fix at this point. Can anyone replicate this issue?
I'm currently using an Automator solution to open the folders automatically, so that the Finder will sort the labels correctly when users access them later. However this is not a quick task, and I'm hoping this problem gets addressed.

HT201077 Web link to PhotoStream stopped working recently.

The link that PhotoStream generated for my album has stopped working recently (after almost a year with no problems). Instead, I get taken to the generic http://www.apple.com/icloud/photos/ site. Is this unique to me?

I'm getting the same response. My be server issues as Apple has been having problems with the App Store servers also. Report it to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html and http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html as will I.

'Unread' filter stopped working

Hi All
Really hope you can help me with this please.
BT Yahoo Classic mail; loads of messages; currently about 80 unread (not unusual); but in the last 24 hours the 'Unread' fliter shows a whole range of messages, a few unread but mostly read.
As some of the unread ones go back a few weeks I don't want to trawl through loads and loads of old e-mails just looking for the ones still to be actioned.
Anyone any idea why the 'Unread' sort button has suddenly stopped working ?

I've reported this to BT and they are looking into it.
I got a callback today saying there is some work going on with the server which might be causing the issue.
I'm not totally convinced but I've been promised a callback.
Today my unread filter works as expected but I still get the same issue on the sent items. Another email address on my account does not work as expected.
I'll keep this thread updated.
If you are having the same problem report it to BT using the contact link:-
