ITunes 7.1 and TV Show sort order...

Is there noway to undo the upgrade from iTunes 7.1 to iTunes 7.02 until they solved this annoying iPod TV show problem? Nothing was wrong with the list on that version. Unbelievable they changed something like this!

I agree, my TV Shows are now all out of order. iTunes used to organize them by Season Number then Episode Number, now it ignores those fields and organizes only by Episode ID. I hope this gets fixed quickly, because I really don't want to delete the tags on a few hundred shows.

  • TV Show Sort Order?

    I don't know if I'm alone on this one. But since the introduction of TV Shows in iTunes and FrontRow, my TV Shows have always been in a random order. I regularly download content from the iTunes store, Transfer content from EyeTV and all it seems to do is change the sort order again. I would hope it would sort alphabetically like everything else.
    Can anyone provide any feedback on FrontRow's TV Show sort order?

    I am having the same problem. It's soooo annoying. No matter how you sort your TV programs in iTunes, when you access them in Front Row they're in the most random order. For the life of me I cannot figure out what data is being used to determine this order--not date, not title, not genre, not artist, nothing! Get it together Apple! If anyone has figured this out please share.

  • I'm trying to get itunes up and running on new computer. I have lots of music I've purchased from Itunes...and they show in my account.  But only some of them have the cloud next to them.  The rest say "downloaded" and it won't let me download them again.

    I believe that all audiobooks are supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time only download. This is the link for contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • What audio format encoded into iTunes HD Movies and TV shows?

    What audio format encoded into iTunes HD Movies and TV shows, AC3, 5.1 DolbyDigital? Its been a long long while since I rented an HD movie on ATV since netflix came around with streaming and BD. Now they have rentals and purchases. Anyone know if the purchases play with 5.1 or better audio?

    I think if you pull up the movie in the iTunes store it should tell you. For example, I pulled up the Star Trek movie that came out a few months ago, and it reports "Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound". Clearly you need to make sure that your hardware supports whatever sound configuration the movie employs.

  • Bug: iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5 podcast smart playlist sort order and how to fix.

    There seems to be a bug in iOS 5 and iTunes 10.5 involving the sort order of a smart playlist of podcasts. I created such a playlist and sorted by release date on iTunes but I noticed it had a different sort order on the iPod Touch.
    After playing around with it a bit I found that the only way to preserve the sort order that I have in iTunes on the iPod Touch is to uncheck "Live Updating" in the smart playlist.

    Confirming this incredibly annoying bug.  Basic list sorting not working... real bottom shelf work apple.
    workaround update:  limit to must be turned on, set it to an absurdly high number if you don't want to actually limit the playlist, then one of the sortby options in that submenu will work.   The live update checkbox is irrelevant from experimentation. 
    This workaround does NOT fix the fundamental problem: sort order from itunes in smart playlists is not being synced and preserved in ios5 devices.
    This is the latest in a long string of debacles which is making me seriously consider swapping to debian stable. (snow leopard to lion was a severe downgrade in performance for anyone doing heavy multitasking.. scheduling is FUBAR... when a command option escape beachballs on a brand new core 17 machine, your OS has serious problems with nice levels)

  • Slide show sort order in PSE11

    When I choose Folder Location as the sort order for a PSE 11 slideshow, the photos are put in reverse order, from last in the folder to first in the folder.  How can I fix this?
    Thanks!

    See this recent post:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1249400?tstart=30
    From what I can understand, there are three problems:
    1 - the inability of PSE11 to sort by filenames (recognized by Adobe, hopefully solved in ulterior versions...)
    2 - the difference of behaviour of the downloader and the organizer (to my knowledge, not reported before)
    3 - the fact that the 1/100th of seconds do not seem to be written to the exif by the camera. They are not saved in the sqlite database either...
    That means that the difference of behaviour should be explained. If the organizer is able to show pictures in the right order when the date/times are set identically for a series of pictures, that means it is able to use the alphanumeric filename sort as a secondary criteria - the downloader should be corrected to do so.
    Another question : besides renaming your files at download, do you use the automatic date folder creation of the downloader ?

  • How does one import images and maintain the sorting order?

    i'm trying to import 59 images (1024 x 768 png files) into keynote. i want them to create a series of image slides with 1 image/slide and keep them in the order i.e. sorted by image file name such as:
    image001.png
    image002.png
    image003.png
    and so on.
    i've tried dragging and dropping these images onto the navigator sidebar but the images get out of order randomly.
    has anyone encountered this? this seems like a bug.
    thanks,
    matt

    hi marcus.
    thanks for the suggestion.
    while i have not tried your solution yet, i'll bet that it'll work and you're correct, it would be faster than rearranging the slides later. it drives me crazy that what i'm trying to do does not work out of the box. if there's one thing apple promotes in its apps its got to be drag and drop. that this does not yet work is nutty.
    good luck,
    matt

  • ITunes in Europe and TV-shows

    I read in the business magazines that ABC is making lots of money from allowing people to download episoed of Lost. But this feature to dl TV-shows does not seem to be available for accounts with billing address in some European countries.
    Is this the case or am I doing something wrong???
      Windows 2000  

    If your account is Brazialian you can only purchase from that store. It does not matter what part of the world you are currently in, your account is tied to the country in which your account was created and to your billing address which would be your home country. You can't change the store from which you purchase in iTunes.

  • TS4526 Gen 1 Apple TV Unable to access iTunes for movies and TV shows

    My gen 1 Apple TV suddenly cannot access movies or TV shows from iTunes store or my MAC. Stopped synching video. I can access iTunes store and make purchases but then unable to access the purchased item the next day.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    What are you doing when you get this message, are you trying to set up homesharing or trying to access your library.

  • ITunes streaming movies and tv shows via iPad - possible?

    I really like to watch tv shows and movies on my iPad the problem is that I have to download them first :/ anyone may know if it is possible to stream tv shows and movies via iPad through iTunes without downloading like Apple TV..

    I am also experiencing intermittent streaming from the cloud with 1080p content. My internet package is pretty decent with 25MB and when I download a show on iTunes, it shows a download speed of 22MB so all is well with my connection to apple. The only way I can stream content without any interruptions is to change the settings on the AppleTV3 to 720p.
    I called my ISP and applied for a 50MB package and see it it helps.

  • ITunes U Sort Order Issue

    I purchase a lot of audio courses from a company called the Teaching Company. I buy and download them as MP3's and they've worked great on all my iPods (I have a nano, a classic, and a touch 64GB). I previously kept all of the course lectures in my Audiobook section to keep them separate from my music and podcasts and other media. This was fine until I decided to purchase an Audible account and began to build up a large library of audiobooks as well. When I got my brand new 64GB iPod Touch and the new iTunes, I saw that iTunes U was now a separate entity within my library. So, for organizational purposes and to allow me to better fine-tuning of my sync preferences (I much more media than could ever fit on any of my iPods at one time), I moved all my educational and lecture media out of my Audiobooks area and into iTunes U by editing the tags through "get info".
    This has worked just fine except for one mysterious problem.
    When I view any of these audio courses (each course is an album) in iTunes, they display fine in normal sort order by track number. But when I go to listen to them on my iPod, the sort order is all jumbled up and all the tracks are out of order. So I cannot listen to the classes from one lecture to another, at the end of each lecture I must exit back to the album and FIND the next lecture. They appear to be sorted in no obvious order (not alphabetical, not by name, not by track number). Again, they are set to sort by track number in iTunes and they display (and play) perfectly straight through in iTunes. But on my iPod, the sort order is completely messed up.
    So, what's going on? Why? And how can I fix it??

    Set your track numbers correctly (by right clicking, clinking 'Get Info' and clicking on the info tab), and make sure you also set the totals (e.g. 12 of 18 - the "of 18" is what I mean by the totals). This sorted it out on my iPod.
    This worked for me for my Teaching Company files. They were all jumbled previously because they took the track numbers from the default import from the internet. Once I changed it, no problem.
    It would be better if Apple allowed just a dragging, or if there was a quick tool, but at least this works.
    I had previously been using "Join Together" for stuff like this. I think I like this method better, though. I can still keep the individual lecture files on a playlist, but not have to worry about all the separate titles in a general listing.

  • Sort Order in Column Browser iTunes 10

    Several versions back, the sort order was numbers first and then letters. In other words, sorted in ascii sort order. For some reason, iTunes decided to change this. Will you please put an option in iTunes to change it to ascii sort order. Thank you so much.

    First give the list a "kick" by sorting by some other fields, closing and reopening iTunes, and then sorting again by Artist.
    Also look at the Sorting tab and make sure the tracks do not have data that could be interfering with the Sort Artist, namely Sort Album Artist.
    If neither of those helps, you have probably discovered a bug in 9.1, which you can report here:

  • Group by sort order and display accordingly

    I have two groups - primary sort order and a secondary sort order in my report, formula for both follows:
    If {?Sort Order}='1' then {PRODUCT_CUSTOMER_MNT_V.CUSTOMER_NAME}
    else if {?Sort Order}='2' then {PRODUCT_CUSTOMER_MNT_V.PRODUCT_ID}
    else if {?Sort Order}='3' then {PRODUCT_CUSTOMER_MNT_V.CUST_REVISION_LEVEL}
    else if {?Sort Order}='4' then {PRODUCT_CUSTOMER_MNT_V.CMS_UD36}
    else if {?Sort Order}='5' then {PRODUCT_CUSTOMER_MNT_V.CMS_UD38}
    else if {?Sort Order}='6' then totext(year({PRODUCT_CUSTOMER_MNT_V.PURCHASE_DATE}),0,"")"/"
    right("0" + totext(month({PRODUCT_CUSTOMER_MNT_V.PURCHASE_DATE}),0,""),2)"/"
    right("0" + totext(day({PRODUCT_CUSTOMER_MNT_V.PURCHASE_DATE}),0,""),2)
    Groups are suppressed and fields are placed in the detail the line.  I have a request to group by Customer name with selected product ID's listed or vice versa.   My quandry is how do I accomodate the descriptive fields in the page header since the user can select any number of combinations using the sort order parameter.  Sure, right now they are only looking at customer and product ID but let's face it, that requirement could change in the future.  Seems simple enough but it's been awhile since I've touched reports and my brain is fuzzy.  Is what I'm trying to do possible?   Crystal XI (11.0.0.1282)

    I was overthinking the problem.  The report was already sorting on customer or product based on user selection.  I placed the customer ID/Name field and the Product ID field into group one and checked the underlay following section box in section expert.  This is will work fine for our purposes.

  • Streaming Movies and TV Shows from iTunes is very, very slow since recent update

    I have an Apple TV 2nd generation and since I updated it to the latest firmware available, that came out last week with the announcement of a new Apple TV, streaming content from iTunes servers, Movies and TV Shows, has become a nightmare. I don't think it is due to the firmaware update as I think it is due to the lack of capacity of the servers. As recent as last week everything worked fine. I would just press play and the TV Show would start almost immediatly and the streaming was fast enough that all the TV Show, past the point I was watching, was downloaded, without any delay or having to stop to rebuffer. The first time I noticed it was on monday this week and since then I have been testing streaming directly from iTunes every now and then and it never came back to work the way it did. I know the problem isn't my network. I have a 20 Mbits connection and download content at 2 Mbytes/sec on avarage.
    And I don't know if it has something to do with the fact that Apple has made available content in 1080p, and that maybe it is stressing its servers even more. What I do know is that the way it is working right now undermine the entire concept of what Apple TV should be like. It has to work just the way it did when Eddy Cue gave a demonstration of the new Apple TV on Wednesday, the content played authenticated immediatly and started playing, without long time buffering. "People are going to love streaming movies and TV shows in 1080p with the new Apple TV", said Philip Schiller. But I can't even stream 720p content.

    I am also experiencing intermittent streaming from the cloud with 1080p content. My internet package is pretty decent with 25MB and when I download a show on iTunes, it shows a download speed of 22MB so all is well with my connection to apple. The only way I can stream content without any interruptions is to change the settings on the AppleTV3 to 720p.

  • Incorrect Sort Order - On Home Page - News and Announcements

    On the Company sub-pages "News and Announcements" the sort order is correct. The most recently added News or Announcements is at the top of the list sorted by Publish Date.
    However on the Home Page they are not.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    There is Enhancement Request on this problem created on Metalink (Bug 5571606) for about a year. It is marked as "Very desirable feature" but no info about when this desireable feature will be available. I asked Portal consultant at Oracle Services and was told, it depends on how many and how big customers would request this feature on behalf of their valid Support Contract.
    So the only way I think is to create Service Requests on Metalink asking for patch.
    I did in September 2006, what about you dear colleagues?
