Issue: songs appear out of "album order" on iPad

I am using current version of iTunes on IOS7.03 on my iPad 2. iTunes library (v11.1.3) is on Mac w/OS 10.9.
All is fine on the Mac; issue on this iPad.
Songs within each album are no longer in "album order" (1,2,3,4 etc)
HOW do I correct this?

It sounds like you might have the "Shuffle" option sellected. Go to the CONTROL menu and go to SHUFFLE. If it is on, turn off Shuffle. Read about "Shuffle" under the help menu.

Track appears out of album order

Basically, no matter what bulk-tag-editing, renaming or anything I do to this file, it refuses to show up AFTER track 1

Your image lacks the column headings which might help pin down the exact cause, but the numbers on the left suggest we're looking at playlist. Select this column and you ought to be able to drag the tracks into any order you choose. For general advice on grouping & sorting see Use an album friendly view and Tracks out of sequence.

When Messages.app refreshes conversations, messages appear out of chronological order.

I'm also using an iPhone 5, all of my software is up to date. Conversations on the iPhone are in correct order. Most of the conversations are using my phone number, but some are using my email address. The issue appears with both. Is there an easy way to troubleshoot or solve?

Hi,
I admit you title reads

However the actual post reads.

So I got the impression it was the actual Conversation (Left hand List) that was un-ordered or at least out of order.
Form your Picture I see you did mean Messages.
As I said in my reply most people reports that Quitting Messages and restarting the app does seem to sort this.
Is this what you mean by "refreshes" or do you man something else such as looking at a conversation again or making the App the "front" app ?

ITunes store songs out of album order

I have a problem with two albums I've bought throught iTunes - the songs are out of order (as they should be on the album). On one album, one of the songs was part of a celebrity playlist when I bought it, and on the other, one of the songs was a single of the week.
Now, those two songs won't be put in the right order with the rest of the album - they both appear as the first song of the album. I've tried changing all of the album and song info under "Get Info" - they're named right, they have the right album liste, and have the right track number - but they still appear as the first track of the ablum in my library and on my iPod.
Other than making a playlist for the album and manually arrangin the tracks, how can I fix this in my library?

I have ensured that all the details of each song in the album match up completely, i.e. the same year, artist, composer etc.
So when you checked the "details" with the Get Info window for the song, did you look in the Info tab to verify that the +Track Number+, 1 of 11, 2 of 11, etc... was entered correctly for each song in the album set?

Songs out of Album Order on iPod

All my songs appear in the correct album order in iTunes. But for a few albums they are all jumbled up on my iPod Touch. So for example, one particular album will have all the tracks appearing in ascending order from 1 to 10 in iTunes. However, on the iPod, they appear as 1, 3, 5, 2, 7, 9, 4, 6, 8, 10. I have ensured that all the details of each song in the album match up completely, i.e. the same year, artist, composer etc., but re-syncing the iPod makes no difference. Any ideas as to how this can be remedied?

Songs appearing on multiple albums

iTunes v7.6.1.9
I think I probably know the answer to this but if someone can confirm it I can sleep easy.
I have over 5500 tracks loaded into iTunes and there are a number of duplicate songs that appear on more than album. Is there a way of telling iTunes this so that I can save space on the pod?

At present if a song is on multiple albums iTunes requires that you have a separate file for each one, it can't at present allocate multiple albums to a single song file. If this is something you'd like to see in a future version you can send feedback/feature requests directly to Apple at this link: Apple Product Feedback

Adding songs from folder in album order

I'm a total noob to this iPod thingamajig, can anyone help?
When I try to add an album from a folder into the library it sorts all the songs into alphabetical order, when I want them to be sorted in the album order.
How do I add the albums with the songs in the right order?
Thanx
Dell Windows XP

you control the sorting with in tunes just click on the column header that you want to sort by (eg track #)

Song appears in unknown album

Hi,
I've ripped my very modest CD collection and for the most part it looks great in iTunes. All albums were ripped in Windows Media Player to My Music.
However, some albums' tracks wound up in Unknown Albums. I tried copying the Artist, Album Artist, & Artist fields from one of the songs in the right album into the rogue tracks. One track moved into its rightful Album; the other, just renamed the Album and resorted it.
FWIW, it's Elvis Costello, Imperial Bedroom (Bonus Disc) tracks 1 & 10; the CD came with two discs and all the tracks from the other CD has all its tracks in a separate album. And the tracks actually DO reside in the same folder as the other tracks for this album.
Thx!

Before ripping into iTunes select the tracks displayed and press ctrl-i to Get Info.
On the Info tab set the Album Artist. For compilations use Various Artists and then on the Options tab set Part of a compilation to Yes.
For a multi-disc album use the same Album title for each disc and set correct Disc X of Y values.
Rip the disc.

Keeping songs in the original album order?

I tried to play a few "Album"s on my iPod mini, but the songs don't stay in the order they are in on the CD. I wouldn't care so much but some of them are Broadway Soundtracks and I don't like hearing them out of order nessisarily. I tried changing their order in my main iPod playlist that gets updated, and I even tried typing numbers in front of the song names. It seems they show up in the order they are in my iTunes library- but there's no way to change the order, and I'm confused as to why those are in the wrong order anyway.

Molly,
In iTunes, select an album that's causing you a problem and look at the track numbers. Are they jumbled up there also?
If so, click on the header bar where it says "track #" until the little back arrow points up.
Are the tracks now in order? If so resync this to your iPod.
If not post back.

Import CD appears out of numerical order

Trying to add CD to iTunes in the order indicated on the CD. The list of songs to be imported shown on iTunes is not in the numerical order on the CD. How can I correct this and have the music imported in the correct order?

The apparent order of a CD depends upon how you have iTunes display it - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17827921 and https://discussions.apple.com//message18583827
Of course also make sure there is data entered for track number and that fields such as disc number and album artist are either all identical or all blank.

Songs/Artists Out Of Alphabetical Order

I recently synced an album to my iPhone via iTunes and somehow everything became out of whack. You know how the music section of the iPhone is divided out alphabetically - well it is showing Gorillaz under "E" and other mistakes like that. It is the same way in Album view - all the albums are out of whack. I've resynced, restarted, etc but with no success. Here is a screenshot to show what I am talking about.

Try to reset your phone. Hold down the sleep and home buttons for 10 seconds, ignore the slider to turn it off, let go when you see the Apple logo.

Songs appear as separate albums

In my iTunes Library, I have multiple songs that show up in album view as seperate Albums, even though they are clearly the same album. They even have the exact same name listed in their Album field. How do I get iTunes to group these together. Obviously, if i wanted to view them a song at a time I would be using the Songs view and no the Album view. I have tried applying a Sort field to them and marking them as "same album". But that does not apear to work. Each of these songs display the album art and play fine. I have the latest iTunes 11 on the the latest OS 10.8.

Have a look at this discussion.

IMessage on iMac showing conversations out of chronological order

Had something happen today in iMessage on my new computer that I've never had happen before. It got messages b/w me and a friend out of chronological order (see below) on my new iMac even though the messages are in the correct order on other devices (iPhone, iPad). Any ideas what's going on?

All the songs are out of order on my albums. Does anyone know why?

On almost every album on my iPad the songs are out of order. Yesterday I deleted 6 of the albums, synced to iTunes and reinstalled them. When I opened them on the iPad they were in the correct order. I closed the iPad and ran an errand, came back and open the iPad again only to see all the songs once again out of order. I can't figure out what the problem is. I don't have this problem on my iPhone or either of my iPods, only on the iPad. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Have you tried creating a playlist for your album, then
select the playlist in iTunes.
right-click the playlist name -> select +copy to play order+. -> sync.
