Issue with order in itunes

Good evening,
Been having an issue with the latest version of itunes and was wondering if there is a way around it. For as long as I have had my mac and itunes the listing order of artist always started with a numbered group..for example .38 Special always was the top track followed by 2Pac and 50 Cent...Now, the numbered names are at the bottom of my library list and its messed up the list in My Top Rated Playlists. I have tried clicking on the top bar in Names and it will list things from the bottom to the top but never the original way. Is there a way to fix this issue or am I stuck? Is this a recent change in itunes 7.3 because its never been like this before.
Thanks
Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

Unfortunately ver. 7.3 changed the sort order of library items. Letters come first, symbol artists are classified by the first letter of their name after the symbol, number artists come last--and as I understand it pronouns such as "A" "An" "The", etc. are now totally ignored in both album and song titles.
There's not much you can do to change this--it was done to better work with the iPhone--you can only revert back to an older version of iTunes if you don't like the changes.

  • Issue with order or sequence of wbs elements appearance in planning layout

    Hi Experts

    Hi,
    I came across a similar situation once. I dont remember exactly.
    We have two different DataSources on wbs hierarchy. The hiearchy was loaded using the two datasources.
    By mistake we were trying to use the hierarchy created by Datasource2, instead of hier created by datasource1.
    Can you check that.

  • Syncing issues with the new iTunes..

    Hi,
    I just downloaded the new iTunes (11.0.1.12) and am facing some sunc issues.
    In my previous itunes, when i would download an app to my iPod over wifi and then connect it to my PC, iTunes would automatically sync and maintain a copy of the app in my PC. My iPod and the PC would be in sync.
    But now after I've downloaded this latest iTunes, I downloaded an app to my iPod and when I tried to sync with the PC, the app no longer got copied to my PC. I've tried syncing many times. Its there on my iPod but never gets copied to the PC during sync. Why is is this happening?
    Help!

    There aren't any issues with the new iTunes. You need the most recent iTunes to sync your iPod

    i'm having issues with reinstalling my itunes.it says that my apple mobile device faild to start and will not go any further

    Hey there CrazyTC,
    It sounds like you are unable to re install iTunes because the Apple Mobile Device service failed to start. Try restarting it with the following article:
    How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567
    Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Click the Windows Start button .
    In the Start Search field type Services.
    In the Programs section of the search results, Click "Services".
    Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
    After the service has stopped, click Start the service.
    After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
    Then if the issue is resolved, set the service to start Automatically with the same article.
    If it is still not working, use these steps from the same article to completely uninstall iTunes and its associated applications and install a fresh copy.
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and AMDS
    If the issue continues after restarting AMDS, then you'll need to remove and reinstall AMDS and iTunes.
    Completely uninstall AMDS, iTunes, and all Apple software. Click the appropriate links below for steps:
    Windows XP
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Restart the computer.
    Download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes. Installing iTunes will also install AMDS.
    Restart the computer.
    Start iTunes and connect the device. It should be recognized properly in Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Has anyone had issues with the new iTunes download?

    Unfortunately, I was one of countless folks that encountered issues with their iTunes on the previous download (mine did the whole choppy, skip thing whenever I tried to play music). I was able to rectify that with a suggestion posted here (NOWOOL was the author and many thanks by the way).
    That said, I was wondering if downloading the new iTunes would be worth it? Would appreciate some feedback. Thanks!

    Yep, half of my tracks are coming up displaying an error -69 ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302684 ) and every time I remove a track from the shuffle or update the shuffle, Itunes opens a window displaying the contents of J:\ (obviously the ipod) and hidden folder \iPod_Control.... I'm really irked with this. Been mucking around with the stupid thing for hours now.
    Nothing was wrong with it until it suddenly decided to stop working, it wouldn't play tracks and Itunes wouldn't recognise it, hadn't missed a beat up till now. Sifted through the Support site for an answer and getting told I needed to update Itunes and update the Ipod software, ***?? It was working fine before. Me thinks Apple have inserted software in ipod to force users to update to newer version of Itunes. Anyway, ever since updating to the latest Itunes, the Ipod is back in action, but it is trying to tell me that half of my mp3s are corrupt (see error -69), rofl, um no, it's your stupid software Apple, I'm off to by myself a decent MP3 player without the bloat software.

  • Possibly why issues with Apple TV & iTunes...

    Over the past 24 hours I have had terrible trouble with my Apple TV & iTunes setup - I've never had any issues until now so you can imagine I hit these forums looking for an answer pretty much right away.
    I've got an Apple TV 2.0 (160gb) & Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo) running 10.5.2 connected over wifi using an Airport Extreme Base Station.
    I've got iTunes 7.6.2 and didn't have a problem when running 7.6.0...
    The AEBS is NOT setup for 802.11n as my Mac Mini only supports 802.11g. I have therefore got it setup for g-only (so no issues with wide channels etc on 802.11n).
    I started using playlists last week to sync tv shows and movies (my kids always watch the same movies and tv shows over and over so it is the best way to keep these shows on the apple TV and add new content as and when I like).
    Everything was working just fine until I added a couple of tv shows yesterday - then the apple TV decided to not play well with iTunes....or rather iTunes kept dropping the Apple TV and would not see it again until restarting iTunes.
    Through a tortuous process of elimination I think I may have found the solution to my problem...
    Here is what I have done so far :
    1 - Reset my Apple TV back to factory defaults (v1.1) - iTunes still drops the connection to the Apple TV when syncing
    Note: At this point I should have realised it's an iTunes problem and not the Apple TV, however I ploughed on...
    2 - Upgraded Apple TV to 2.0 - still no joy with syncing the tv/movies playlists
    3 - Sync'd just photos and music to the Apple TV overnight - no problem
    4 - Sync'd one movie (no playlist) this morning - no problem
    5 - Sync'd one set of kids TV shows (no playlist) - no problem
    I checked the console at steps 1 & 2 above and found iTunes complaining about "can't read data length" when it drops the Apple TV.
    So to cut this long story short - the problems I am seeing are likely a corrupt file or a corrupt playlist.
    YMMV of course!
    Kind regards,
    Alex.

  • Audio and speakers issues with the new iTunes 7

    Hi,
    I also have an audio problem after installing the new iTunes 7. It seems after iTunes have finished "determining the gapback playback information", all audio from iTunes and Quicktime only comes through my two front speakers. I have a 5.1 setup for my computer and it seems is only a iTunes and Quicktime issue since Windows media plays the audio just fine. Anybody know what the issue could be? I'm on Windows XP by the way.
    I have checked my speaker setup and sound card and this problem does not occur in Windows media or any other media software. It seems that it only occurs with iTunes and Quicktime.

    Yet another person with the exact same problem, with the same sound card. Everything is up-to-date. I've tried all of the other "fixes" but its either done nothing, or given me use of my rear speakers but added an awful awful ear shattering static. I've tried everything. I even stood on one foot.
    Furthermore, my EAX options do not work with iTunes 7 either, though they work with the older versions. I can't even adjust the speaker balance (front to rear, right to left). This is an isolated problem, only with the new iTunes and QuickTime. Everything else on my computer works just dandy, and cooperates with my speakers (5.1 surround) and my EAX settings.
    Edited because I said video card, not sound card.. I'm tired, been trying to fix this for an hour.

  • Can't access an agent- issues with order and installation

    I had my installation for a new service today and had issues with the order. I have been trying to talk to agent after 6 hrs and I still haven't reached anyone. My order is messed up and I have a phone number with the package, but I have no clue what my number is.   I need help ASAP. I'm a new comcast customer and it's already going bad. I was with Direct tv for 7 years and had no issues with them. The installation process was seamless with DTV....Comcast...not so much.  

    Sorry to hear about your issues with Comcast. I let a Comcast employee from the corporate office know about your issues and have requested that they reach out to you. If you don't hear from anyone soon, let me know.

  • Sync issues with .mac & iPods / iTunes

    Hi,
    I have recently been getting sync issues with both my .mac account and iTunes. (all iPods)
    To be exact, it is having trouble syncing my address book.
    For iTunes, I can sync everything but my calendars and address book. (It freezes) My iPods work fine in syncing when I turn of the Ical / Address book sync feature.
    and when my .mac sync starts, my computer freezes. (When trying to sync my address book)
    This has only happened over the past week and I think its due to recent updates for the iPhone.
    Can someone from Apple investigate this please....

    HI Dean,
    Try trashing the preference files:
    com.apple.isync.plist
    com.apple.addressbook.plist
    They are here: Home/Library/Preferences. Open the Prefs folder, locate those files, drag them to the Trash and reboot. See if that helps.

  • Is there compatibility issues with windows 8 & iTunes 11.0.1

    I'm sure there's something wrong here, either with iTunes 11.0.1, or its compatibility with window 8.
    iTunes became a nightmare, nothing is organized, it do not save modifications, it can not remember what's watched what's not from movies or tv shows, even with the new files I just added.
    Even music.
    It is not even streaming or synching properly to apple tv (the latest version), it keep on disconnecting.
    I tried this is 3 devices, with different brands, two of them with windows 8/iTunes 11.0.1, all the same, but the 3rd is with Windows 7/iTunes 10.7.0.12, it is working great, very smooth, all is well, in all fields.
    Plus, All my devices are 64bit, when i install iTunes 11.0.1's iTunes64setup.exe, downloaded from apple.com/download, in my windows 8 64bit, then i run iTunes i got iTunes (32bit) "knowing that from task manager"
    what's going on??????
    It's a total mess.
    I wish i can use another program, rather than iTunes, but I'm stuck, because all my devices are from apple.
    please help

    That didn't work for me....I have done every concievable action to resolve this....now I am getting pissy......Went through all the suggestions on the support page....I am going absolutely nuts here, uninstall, reinstall, set this default to that....NO ONE KNOWS WHY THIS IS HAPPENING OR IT WOULD BE ADDRESSED ALREADY!!!!!!
    Sitting right next to my new laptop is the old one that started out with XP on it. Has Win7 and itunes fires right up. I called my brother, he doesn't have apple products. He just bought a new laptop and did the 8.1 upgrade and guess what? Itunes still won't recognise my 4S....
    ANY FEEDBACK WOULD BE GREAT. However, keep in mind I have done everything except throw the laptop and the phone.....
    IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!!!!!!!

  • Performance issue with ORDER BY

    The following query runs in 60 milli sec with no order by clause. With order by it takes about 3 sec. The end result of the query is 25 records. One thing we noticed is order by is taking place after the union irrespective where we place the order by clause. Not sure how to make oracle perform order by on end result. Any thoughts truly appreciated.

  • I have an issue with Add to iTunes folder incorporating mp3s in iTunes Media folder, but not into my iTunes library.

    I am using iTunes 10.5 on Windows 7 (64bit).  This has only started happening since the 10.5 update.  When I add mp3s to "Add to iTunes" folder, the mp3s will be added to a folder within the iTunes Media\Music\ directory, but the song will not show up in my iTunes library.  If I open the mp3 from its location in the directory, it will open in iTunes and be included in the Library go forward.   This issue is not consistent, it has happened the first time I tried to add an mp3, and not the second that I tried to add the exact same file.  Oh also, I have always had the option selected to allow iTunes to keep the media folder organized.
    For the time being I have to keep a list of everything I am adding and verify whether it shows up in the library.  If it doesn't I have to run a search to see what exact directory path iTunes put it in, go there and open the file - frustrating and time consuming.  Even more frustrating to me however is that I really don;t know if I have recovered all the added mp3s from before I recognized the problem.
    Any ideas?  I was wondering if there maybe was a way to have iTunes refresh its library from the folder? 

    Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

  • Synching Issues with iphone 4/ itunes

    When attempting to synch my iphone with itunes, the synch cannot progress past the "backing up" stage. Why?? Getting a bit frustrated now to be honest.
    Every time I plug my phone into the computer, itunes informs me of the latest update required (4.3.5), but because of the synching issue, I obviously can't get the new update.
    any help appreciated

    "iTunes could not back up the iPhone "Guru's iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again."
    The above is the error message I receive when trying to upgrade/ synch my iPhone with iTunes on my Laptop. I have the latest version of iTunes available (10.4.1)

  • Syncing issues with lost of iTunes account.

    We have a house with 1 computer, 2x iPhones 4S, 1x iPad, 2xiPad mini's and 6x iTunes accounts (including 1 account we no longer use). When syncing the iPads an error message comes up saying some files can not be synced because iPads can only hold files from upto 5 iTunes accounts. how do we solve this issue? Can we close down the old account and keep the file from there? Any advice happily accepted.

    Did a bit of research and changed the c states within my BIOS
