IPhone-Music-Album- track can't sort!

On desktop in iTunes on Mac have all tracks sorted correctly and all info same: disc 1 of 4, and tracks 1-xx etc; and continuing disc 2 of 4,etc..same artist name, same album name, all same but when when this Smart Playlist appears on iPhone, all is jumbled and cannot sort in order ...it's in Music area, but is an audio book, so cannot listen if not in order. Ex: on iphone in the name of smart list when open (shuffle is NOT on in SETTINGS on iphone tho at top of playlist when open the one I want to listen to, it has word "shuffle") it shows:Track 10, track 05, track 12, track 11, track 06,etc. Any ideas?
I tried unchecking smart playlist title, re-synching, re-checking, still shows wrong track order on iphone

IPhone Music Album Art DB is strangely huge

I have an iPad and an iPhone. Both get music from the same source. Both take the tracks from my computer's library, downsize them to 128kps and there we are. However, the on-device Art Database sizes are very different and not in the way that makes sense. The size of the DB files was gathered using iPhone Explorer.
iPad has 4225 tracks. Art database is 2408MB
iPhone has 2334 tracks. Art database is 3104MB
A vast majority of the iPad library and the iPhone library overlap, so there is ZERO reason why the iPhone art DB takes up more space than the iPad's, unless something else is stored there that I dont understand. There are more FILES in the iPad DB, but they are overall smaller files. Each iPhone DB file is 200-500 MB. iPad DB files can be between 12-500MB
See the problem? Any thoughts? Any idea where I could direct this problem to, even? I just don't get it.

I used ScareZebra's solution (iFunBox for mac) and it worked great to FINALLY fix this issue. My library artwork was totally messed up, using mostly video image stills and other photos for album art and no amount of deleting or resyncing was working.
It didn't seem to work right away, but after turning the phone OFF/ON* my artwork started refreshing and everything is perfect now. I also added a step (directly deleting the artwork off of the phone, which I think may have been key to my particular situation)*. Here were my steps.
1.) Installed ifunbox for mac on my computer and launched
2.) Plugged in iphone and navigated to RAW FILE SYSTEM/iTunes_Control/iTunes folder
3.) Copied the following 3 files to my desktop (for backup, just in case), then DELETED from the phone: MediaLibrary.sqlitedb, MediaLibrary.sqlitedb-shm, MediaLibrary.sqlitedb-wal
*4.) Copied the contents of the ARTWORK folder to my desktop for backup (just in case) then DELETED from the phone - Left the empty folder there
*5.) Turned iphone OFF and then ON
This worked and everything is back to normal. I haven't noticed any issues.
Thanks for figuring this out ScareZebra!

Bought music album but can only see a small part of it in my playlists

On 30th November 2011 I paid for a music album of two violin concertii one by Max Bruch and the other By Brahms. However, I have only received one movement of the Bruch concerto. If I visit my purchases the album shows OK but there is only that one movement track. How can I get the entire album that I most certainly paid for?
I have tried to find a contact means to ask Apple about this failed delivery and I am very surprised and siappointed to learn just how difficult it is to contact Apple without paying for the privilege!

Movies are very heavy files. around 1.5 to 2GB depending on the type of movie and more if its in HD. If your internet connection is not fast enough they can take a lot of time to download.
Rentals have a 30 day life span as long as you haven't started wathcing them. Once you start to watch them you have 24 hours to finish before the Rental expires.
If your Intenret connection is not fast enough to download the movie while you watch, then don't start watching it and simply let it download. Once it completes you can watch it start to finish.
Now that is not in ny way a propblme with Apple or its devices, but your internet connection. If tis supposed ot be fatser talk to your ISP. If its that slow becuase you don't have the more expensive package with a faster connection then talk to your wallet about it.
Threats will do nothing.

HT1386 i bought a music album and can not get it up on my new I phone 4s?

I just bought a music album downloaded into my i phone. Then that iphone crashed so got another one the same day. I can not get up the album that I paid for on my music site? What must I do to get it back. I have i Cloud and got most of my pictures uploaded but not my one album ( I only had one).
Please assist.. Thank you, Marci

Go to iTunes on your iPhone, and click "Purchased" on the bottom toward the right. You should find the album in both "All" and "Not on This iPhone". You should be able to re-download it. If it's in iCloud, you will see the cloud from which to download; otherwise, you should see a download button.
If you do not see it, then inspect your account on iTunes on your computer. Go to your account there, and there is a place that lists your purchases.

IPhone Music Sorting - Album year field

Hi
I originally posted the below in the iPhone section, but I think it may be more appropriate here.
I have a selection of radio shows and podcasts that I want to sort into a certain order on my iPhone, but no matter what I do in iTunes I cannot get them to display correctly. Here's what I have done so far:
1. Split the 'songs' into 'albums', with one album for each series/ group of podcasts.
2. Made sure that all of the 'songs' are correctly labelled in the 'info' tab. The following is the same for all songs:
     - Artist
     - Album Artist
     - All other fields are blank (with the exception of 'Year' which I will come on to later)
3. Changed the 'Album Sort' field on the 'Sorting' tab so that the albums are sorted in chronological order and the actual title of the 'album' is ignored. e.g.:
     - XFM Series 1 (from 2001) is labelled as 'A' in the 'Album Sort' field
     - XFM Series 2 (from 2002) is labelled as 'B'
     - XFM Series 3 (from 2003) is labelled as 'C'
     - XFM Series 4 (from 2004) is labelled as 'D'
     - Radio 2 shows (from 2005) are labelled as 'E'
Doing the above gets the albums to display perfectly in iTunes, with them being sorted in chronological order as dictated by the 'Album Sort' field.
I then synced the albums onto my iPhone and expected all to be well, but instead found that when I went to the 'Artists' tab they were listed in reverse chronological order (newest album first). So to fix this I went into iTunes and tried the following:
1. Went into the 'info' tab for all albums and set the year to 2001 for all. As the year is the same for all it should now sort by 'Album Sort' in theory. That didn't work though so I tried...
2. Set the years in reverse order for each album, so that the latest series 'Radio 2 shows' was labelled as 2001, and the oldest album 'XFM Series 1' was labelled as 2005.
That still didn't work, but even more strangely when I view the album on the iPhone a different year is being displayed under the title, e.g.:
XFM Series 3
12 Songs, 686 mins
2006
I have checked that album in iTunes and 2006 is not contained anywhere on the album or song info tabs. I have tried to add a different year in the year field, and also delete the year field, but no matter what I do 2006 continues to be displayed.
Where is this year being held within the file and how can I change it? I checked the ID3 tags for a song from that album in VLC and could not see 2006 referenced anywhere.
Thanks for any help!

Hello,
As far as I can see, you can't sort the order of music on the iPod Touch. It is always sorted alphabetically.
Maybe you can suggest that as a feature to Apple.

Album Art Sorting incorrectly in Compilations/Albums iphone Music App listing/tab

Album Art Sorting incorrectly in Compilations/Albums iphone Music App listing/tab
Sounds like a mouthful, but basically im saying that I have a bunch of compilations that when displayed in itunes on my pc,
show the album art which is set for the first track. This is to be expected.
But when i upload the compilations to my iPhone 5, and i open up the Music app and select the compilations tab...
The same compilations show another album art that is actually associated with another track in the compilation.
When i looked for a pattern, i found that it would basically take the album art from the track in the compilation based on the artists name in reverse alphabetical order.
So if i had album art associated with every track in the compilation, normally it would show in the listing the album art of the first track... but now it was actually the album art of the artist name starting closest to the letter z.
I've tested this many times. very annoying. but to explain again...
If i have a compilation containing artists from Coldplay to Ziggy Marley... no matter where in the listing Ziggy Marley is listed first to last... it will display the Album art associated to Ziggy Marley in the List view for the Compilations or Albums tab in the Music app on an iPhone 5.
Normally you would expect it to show the album art associated with the first track in the listing as it does in Itunes so as to keep uniformity between what you upload in iTunes and what you see in the Music app on the iPhone.
THIS IS A BUG APPLE!!!... test it for yourselves... someone broke your db sorting in the new itunes. ITunes 11, with iPhone 5
Please fix!
Thank you kindly...

another note... when i select the album from the list (on the iphone, in the music app) and it slides over to show all tracks in the compilation...
it then shows the proper album art as it should.
Also, when i check cover flow it then shows another incorrect cover?

How can you sort an album that was released in 2007 but has 80s music on

I have v8 of iTunes, almost completed all my tagging how I want it in iTunes for all my music
I have a query though, I have a 80s, 90s smart playlist.
I have recently got an album that was released in 2007, so the year in my library is 2007, however all the music on that album is from the 80s.
So can you tag with 2 years, ie Album release date and song release (original date) or can you sort the album to show its songs from the 80s.
Someone must have the same issue, especially from compilation albums
please help
cheers

ahh, was hoping it may have had a "overall" year or album year release date.
Man that means I gotta tag a lot of my music with the correct year now then, as the compilation albums I got all tagged form web with year released
Whats the best way to get the year of the songs then please? is there an easy way? Ive got a lot of songs to do now
cheers

The old iTunes libraries do not restore any playlists or song counts.
They should you if you do the roll back properly... Opening files from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in Windows Explorer simply opens the current library. If you don't see the .itl file extension then don't give your copied and renamed file the extention or iTunes will create an empty library rather than using the renamed file.
If you had a complete pre-problem backup of your library you could restore that. On the assumption that isn't possible I have a script called ExportImport that could in principle be adjusted to save the relevant data from a backup of the library database and then reimport that data into the current library. See this thread for details.

Can't Sort music on iPhone played through iTunes

I plug my iPhone into my work computer to listen to music that is only on my iPhone, but I can't sort the music in iTunes [Devices > iPhone > Music]. It's all listed alphabetically by song title. My regular iTunes Library can be sorted but I can't sort my iPhone playlists or anything.

That is how it's supposed to work when you aren't at the computer that music was synced from.
If you want to leave Apple a comment or suggestion about that feature, use the Apple - iPhone - Feedback page.

TS1424 Hello I just porchased and downloaded a new music album. Though the downloads were complete all the tracks on the album are not complete. What can I do?

Hello I just porchased and downloaded a new music album. Though the downloads were complete all the tracks on the album are not complete. What can I do?

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) have you tried deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownloading them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes ? Re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

All your media should be in your library, and backed up too. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

dear sirs ,

If you synced your iPhone with the same iTunes library on the same computer you have been syncing your iPhone with, not sure how some of the music was lost. If you tried to sync your iPhone with a different iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on your iPhone would have been erased first, not just some.
All iTunes content on your iPhone including all music should be in your iTunes library on your computer.
