Itunes 11.1.5 not sorting album tracks correctly?

I just imported this album, yet for some reason it's showing tracks 13, 14, 15 before the rest of the album and it's doing this when I view it via Songs, Artist or Album. Any idea why?

You have to use the camera icon in the editor window to post images.

Hi,
The Creative ZEN organizes songs according to the ID3tag of the music file, not by folders. If you want to arrange the music files in the order you want, please check and make sure that the music files are tagged properly. You may need a third-party tag editor to do this.

When I play Albums the songs are not sorted by track

I have a Ipod Classic and when I play Albums I would like them sorted by Track, so that I can hear the album the way it was recorded.
I can I change the sort order on my iPod

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
If I recall correctly if you get to an album using the search feature it plays the tracks in alphabetical order for no very good reason that I can think of. If you have problems with track order when playing from the Albums or Cover Flow menus then take a look at http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp

In using Photos and iPhoto on iPad 3 - does not sort Albums in either program! How do I sort?

How do I sort Albums using Photos or iPhoto for iPad 3?
Thanks!
D.

Spare yourself the frustration of sorting photos with the Photo App.
Use a 3rd party apps like Photo Manager Pro. You'll be able to drag the photos to any position you want.

Numbers not sorting date/time correctly

I would be grateful if someone can chime in - it's very simple thing and maybe I'm overlooking something.
I have 3 columns:
DATE - DESCRIPTION - TIME
I need to sort them out by date, then by time.
It works only for date cells - upon inspection I have noticed that time cells have creation date stamp as well which messes sorting up.
Any suggestions ?
Sorting like this works fine in Excel.

Hi Alex,
As has been stated (or implied) above, every every date and/or time displayed in Numbers is a Date and Time value marking a specific instant in time.
Values that have been entered as date only (eg. October 1, 2012) mark the instant that day begins (eg. October 1, 2012 00:00:00).
Values that have been entered as time only mark that instant on the day on which the entry was made (or in cases such as pop-up menu items, the day on which the item was created as a menu item).
Values that have been entered as full Date and Time values mark the date and time that was entered.
Here are three possible approaches to sorting your table 'correctly':
Enter the Date and Time as a single and complete Date and time value (see example above), using a single column for these entries.
OR
Add a column containing a formula that extracts the time value from the Date and Time values in column C of your example table, then do the two-stage sort on your Date column then the new column as described in your initial post. See example below.
Before sorting:
After sorting (as indicated in Reorganize pane):
OR
Format your "Time" column as Text. Enter all "Time"s in 24 hour format (00:00 to 23:59), and use the two-stage sort you describe.
Each of these will sort correctly using Numbers as it is supplied. Should you think Numbers shoud stop supporting ISO 8601, the International Standard for the representation of dates and times, the most effective place to make that recommendation would be via the Feedback channel. Use the Provide Numbers Feedback menu item in the Numbers menu (in Numbers) to request this change.

Problem with iTunes not sorting album/disc sets right, can't edit album info?

Hi there,
I have recently been having an issue with my iTunes software. Here is what is going wrong: I right click on an album in my iTunes library, then select "Get Info." The "Get Info" window pops up, and I seem to be ready to edit my album information. Specifically, I am trying to edit the "disc number" (Disc Number 1 of 33, for instance). I can click on the little number boxes, and I can seemingly edit the numbers inside (i.e., change the 1 to 01). But when I press OK to save the changes, the disc number immediately reverts back to its original variable.
The whole reason I am trying to solve the problem above is a direct result of a previous problem. I recently bought a CD disc set (Haydn's Complete Symphonies) which contains 33 discs. When uploading them to my iTunes, everything was going fine until I reached disc 10 (i.e., the discs were all in the right order in my iTunes library, 1-9). When I hit disc 10, I expected it to show up right after 9 but it instead arrived right in front of 1. I now realize that this must be due to some shortcoming in the iTunes code (it thinks 10 is the next number in the sequence after 1, i.e., 1, 10, 11, 12, or something). I tried another disc (11), and it sure enough it appeared right after 10 (right behind disc 2).
I thought I could solve the sorting issue by putting a 0 in front of the disc numbers (01, 02, 03, etc) in order to get iTunes to recognize the correct sorting sequence. This, however, only created another problem, which is first problem I outlined above: I can't edit the disc information in order to make the vital change.
Could this be due to permissions settings? Is it just iTunes being glitchy? Am I missing something really obvious?
I am running Windows 7, 64 bit and have iTunes version 11.0.5.5 installed.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm having this problem too. It does not seem to be a permissions issue. I have found so far that restarting iTunes will allow me to edit a song I have previously been unable to edit.
This is happening with iTunes 9.0.1 (9) I can't say for sure that it wasn't happening under 9.0 - but I didn't notice it then.
I find that songs are uneditable after they have been downloaded to iTunes. Not all songs, just some, on an unpredictable basis. I don't know if there are other older songs with the same problem, or whether it's just new downloads that are being affected.
I've also noticed that it's impossible to delete one of these songs from a playlist.
So - in summary : Download an album ... 2 or 3 songs on the album will be impossible to edit (song info) and impossible to delete from a playlist ... restarting iTunes allows them to be edited ...
It's a really odd one.

How do I get rid of artwork that is automatically put in from itunes.. it is not the album cover...which I used to have. How it disappeared I have no idea???

Some of my artwork (album covers) have disappeared and been replaced by some funky designs??? I don't know what I clicked on to make this happen but they seem to be disappearing more and more? I copied the artwork from my other computer and put them in a folder to replace them. When I click on the far rt. hand icon at the bottom left corner of the screen where it pops up and lets you put custom artwork etc in if you choose I can paste the album cover there but it doesn't lock it in or replace it over in my album nor in my cover flow?? Hope that makes sense!
Please help

This is not an itunes question at all.

ITunes 11.1.2 not always counting tracks as played when stopped within the last 10 seconds

It used to be that if you stop playing a track in iTunes within its last 10 seconds (or start playing another track, etc.), that track would still register as played, with the "Last Played" field updating and the "Plays" field being boosted.
However, since I've upgraded to iTunes 11.1.2, this seems to only work intermittently. Sometimes, when I switch to another track, the first track is not registered as played, which is what I would expect. But sometimes it does work. There's no real pattern.
Can anyone reproduce this behaviour? Play a track and stop it manually (Cmd + Period, or change track by double-clicking on another track) when there's less than 10 seconds left of the track. Does it increment this track's "Plays" counter?
Thanks!

I have the same problem. I have 2 Mac computers and 3 iOS devices, so itunes match is very essential to my setup. After some painful try out, i have found a temporary fix.
first turn off itunes match on all of your mac computers, you can leave it on on your ios devices.
then create whatever playlists you need on one of your macs. because now itunes match is off, it won't try to delete your new playlists.
and after you're done, quit itunes, open it again. and turn on itunes match. it should stay.
wait and let itunes match update. this time the new playlists should stay. now go to the other mac/macs, turn on itunes match, the new playlists should sync.
check on your ios devices, they should sync as well.

New itunes 10.1 skipping not playing entire track

I recently purchased a set of tracks from an online store that wasn't tunes, and one of the tracks doesn't play to its entirety. It only plays up to the 32 second mark and then skips to the next track. When I try to push it to play further it starts from the beginning no matter at what point in the timeline I push it to, but it will only play up to 32 seconds and still skip to the next track.
What the **** is going on??? Can this be corrected? I've tried downloading the file multiple times but the same thing happens.
I even tried downloading it to a different computer using an older version of itunes and it works fine! Which leads me to believe that this might be a problem with itunes 10.1
Anyone else have this problem?

Too weird. That usually gets around almost anything. Can you tell where it failed - did the .aiff not encode past the 32 second mark, or the re-encoded .mp3 not play after that point?
If you're willing to give it a whirl, (seeing as the file may be messed up anyhow) try changing the filetype to .mpg and see if QuickTime can play it. Your OS may put up one of those 'are you sure?' messages when you make the change but push through and do it. That will narrow it down to whether it's the file or your install of iTunes.

ITunes won't let me edit album/ track info

Just added some albums to iTunes library but some tracks are missing and have been
Put into another album, can't change the track info iTunes won't let me, what am I doing wrong?

Song files can sometimes have their Read Only status activated when moving from disk to disk. In iTunes, select one song giving your trouble, and press Ctrl-R. Right-click the file, and choose Properties. Read Only is probably checkmarked.
You don't need to uncheck each file individually. You can right-click on your My Music folder and opt to remove the checkmark on all items it contains with one click.

My touch5.1.1 will not play album tracks in order. I've turned off the shuffle function and I lock the screen when I'm walking with it, but it won't play tracks in sequence. What can I do?

My Touch 5.1.1. has worked just fine until recently. I have checked to see that it is not set for "shuffle" and also that the "shake to shuffle" function is turned off. When I walk with the device, I lock the screen (all practices I've always followed), but tracks and even multiple discs for albums constantly shuffle. Please help!

ITunes 10.1 is not syncing my Photos correctly to my iPad or iPhone

Hi all,
Maybe this is just a bug with iTunes 10.1 but since installing this version my events folders on my iPad and iPhone are not syncing as they are arranged in my iPhoto library. Events folders are not showing the correct number of photos and contain photos from different events. I have about 100 events folders and about a quarter of them are incorrect. The events are also not listed in alphabetical order when scrolling through either.
I'm using iPhoto '11, the iTunes 10.1 and iPad software 4.2 as released yesterday.
It's a really frustrating problem. I've tried deleting the iPod Photo Cashe folder and forcing iTunes to re-examine the iPhoto folder, with no luck. Any help appreciated guys.
One last this, has anyine else had iTunes freeze and crash when trying to download more than two podcasts at a time?

OK. Here's the fix. Haven't had any problems since I tried the following:
1. Use the temporary fix of deleting the com.apple.Aperture file.
2. Now re-start Aperture while holding Command + Option and select 're-build database'
3. Quit Aperture
4. Note that the progress indicator "Updating Previews for Sharing" appears before Aperture closes
5. Load Aperture
6. Load iTunes and connect iPad or iPhone (check for accurate library structure from Aperture)
7. Sync iPad or iPhone
8. Create a new folder in your Aperture library.
9. Move a couple of Albums to the new folder
10. Go to iTunes and click on the 'Photos' tab of the device sync options
11. Changes to Aperture library should update properly
Let me know if this works for everyone else. I'm pretty sure it will. Seems that my library was corrupt, but rebuilding the library won't help unless the database (com.apple.Aperture) is deleted first.

New iTunes update (10.6) not displaying asian characters correctly.

Just updated my iTunes to 10.6 and the new version is not displaying the asian characters in the artist or song titles. They are appearing in the album. Have restarted my computer multiple times.

Same issue going on for me. Like daskaea said, it doesn't show up in the album grid, but shows up fine everywhere else. I personally am encountering this issue for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts.
Attempts to clear the name and re-enter it manually also do not work.
Anyone have any ideas?

Content Search not sorting User fields correctly

Hi All and Merry Christmas. Before I leave for the holidays I want to get this question in and hope someone has an answer.
I have a content type with a Person Field called Project Manager. This is a pretty ordinary field, users only, not groups, single person only, not multiple people, and the managed property has been tagged as Sortable. I access the data with this
column in a Content Search Web Part and sort on the column and the names don't come up in order. If I sort descending, the order is reversed from the Ascending, but both ascending and descending are not in alphabetical order.
I tried this in both our Test and Prod environments and the results are the same.
I created a new Person field from scratch, populated it with the same people, crawled the site and got the crawled and managed properties, made sure the managed property was searchable, queryable, and sortable, ran the full crawl again, and it gives the
same wrong results as the original column.
I am going nuts trying to figure out what is wrong.
I created a gerneric CSWP using the List control template and the Diagnostic item template, and put the name property in one of the lines. In the query I set the Sort to this property. I can think of no reason this won't work. The results
I get with the property in Ascending order is:
1. David I...
2. Dayle W...
3. Jorge D...
4. Joe V...
5. Tom Y... (again!)
6. Betrina C...
7. Louis S...
8. Tom L...
9. Tim W...
Here is a paste of what I see (wit last name changed to protect identities):
Line 2:
Value:
David I...
Mapped managed property:
ProjManagerOWSUSER
Property mappings:
ProjManagerOWSUSER
I will be gone for the holidays but if anyone knows what is going on, please respond. Thanks.

Hi Tom,
For your issue, could you retrieve values of the ProjManagerOWSUSER managed property using SharePoint Search REST API? For example:
http://sp/_api/search/query?querytext=’*’&selectproperties=’ProjManagerOWSUSER’
For more information, you can have a look at the blog:

ITunes 9.1 not sorting artists correctly

Just upgraded iTunes on Win7 PC to 9.1 and seem to have a problem with sorting on the Artist.
I have a large (2800 CDs + various downloads) collection, with a lot of jazz - so quite a lot of music where the artist name is not a band name but a person's name. I always edit the Artist name so that it's Last name, First. The Album Artist that was added a while back was a nice help in this issue, but it seems to be causing problems with 9.1 I noticed after the upgrade that iTunes went through my library - and afterward, I suddenly had 150+ artists more than I did before. Charles, Ray had become 1) Charles, Ray 2) Ray Charles 3) Charles, Ray. (Yes, TWO entries with Charles, Ray.) Many other artists have similar issues and it seems to be taking the Album Artist and making duplicate entries for songs/records. When I removed the AA from the above, it collapsed back into 1 artist.
Additionally though, I have noticed that there is even more than that wrong. For example, I have many John Coltrane records. All 66 of them are now showing up in the sorting order as "Coltrane, John" - but in the letter "A" next to Alice Coltrane. Similarly for a couple of Stevie Wonder songs - they now show properly as "Wonder, Stevie" in the list, but they're sorted in "S" as if it's "Stevie Wonder".
This is really maddening. It looks to me like Apple messed up something here, and it's playing total havoc with the organization of my collection.

Update - it looks like after quitting and restarting iTunes, the problem of not sorting alphabetically (Wonder, Stevie in S) is gone.
However, it does appear to be sorting on Album Artist as primary key, instead of just Artist, and so far I can't find a way to change that.
