Itunes arranges new added albums to the end of viewing

well i guess the headlight is not really clear so i'll try to describe it here. when i add a new album to my itunes library it will add it to the end of the list of the albums. so for example i add some of the John Mayer's album into my itunes library and even though the artist name is John Mayer (begins with J) it will appear at the end of the list. this happens in every view option (coverflow, grid view, list). if i put this into an ipod it will appear there just like on my computer. it's messed up. what am i suppose to do? it happens only when i add an album not with a single song and i don't want to add an album by one song at a time. i use Album-by-Artist sorting. can anybody help? thanks,
marek

Just a guess, but do the tracks at the end have the Compilation flag set to Yes ?
*Album not with others by same artist*
iTunes relies on the Gracenote CDDB database when identifying CD's. This often marks collections or anthologies of an artist's work as a compilation. In iTunes, however, the compilation flag has the logical function of grouping together tracks with the same album name, but different artists on each track, e.g. "Now That's What I Call Metal 666!". These compilations are then all grouped together at the end of cover flow. Most of us however, would expect "Greatest Hits" albums to be listed with the other albums by the same album artist. For albums which are essentially by a single album artist or group it is best to set the appropriate value for the album artist and clear the compilation flag.

  • Cover Flow - Albums at the End?

    Cover Flow works well enough for me, it's just that there's a load (about 10-15) albums at the end of the list that aren't in any alphabetical order i.e. they're after Z and they're just in a random jumble.
    Is there any way to sort this, as it looks messy and the jumble includes some of my favourite albums.

    I have about 30 albums at the end of cover flow that are not compilations.
    In iTunes select the Music source and then enter the album title for one of your preoblem albums in the search box. Is Compilations listed among the possible artists for the album? One track marked as part of a compilation would be enough to make the album cover appear at the end of cover flow in the compilations section and, becuase iPod shows all tracks with the same album title, it will list all the tracks when you turn it over to pick a track.

  • How do I find the new U2 album on the music app on my iphone? Is there something I need to do to be able to see it ?

    How do I find the new U2 album on the music app on my iphone? Is there something I need to do to be able to see it ?

    Open iTunes app on your phone.  go to Purchases.  It may be in the more section, (The ellipsis icon over the word More). Tap Purchased.  Tap Music. Tap Recent Purchases.  Tap the iCloud icon next to the tracks you want to download.  On my phone the songs were at the beginning of the list because I haven't purchased anything since it was announced this morning. 

  • Save a pdf file without Adobe automatically adding "-Copy" to the end

    How can I save a pdf file without Adobe automatically adding "-Copy" to the end of file name?

    If you have actually made any changes (e.g. adding a Sticky Note or filling out forms), the Save button will appear in the bottom toolbar.  It will save it as the same name.
    "- Copy" is added only when you tap/click the Save As button.  You can change it to something else, if you'd like.

    You can change a preference to make tabs open
    # at the end of all open tabs
    # immediately after the current tab.
    See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
    *Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and press the Enter key.
    *If you see the warning, accept it (promise to be careful).
    *Filter = browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
    *Look at the "Value" column ('''false'''=open at end, '''true'''=open after current tab); Value = true is the default.
    *Double-click that preference to toggle the value from true to false, or false to true
    *Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)

  • Jump to new Keynote File at the end of Presentation

    Apologies if this topic has been discussed, in the 11th hour for a solve. Is it possible to trigger a new keynote file at the end of my first Keynote file?
    I know this can be triggered via "enable link" in the inspector on an object. I am wanting to run Keynote presentation "A" with an apple remote, then the last slide of Keynote A triggers new Keynote File "B".
    possible? yes, I know I could just tail them together in one keynote file but that is not what I need to do. I need presenter B to be able to work independently until the last minute before the show and I just want to link to their file.
    Thanks in advance for any solved or helpful answers.

    Hi David,
    There's no way to make the last slide force a different presentation to open on its own, but you can set up the slide so that it has a link to an external presentation. Make sense?
    Select the item on the slide you'd like to link from. In the Hyperlink Inspector, select "Enable as a hyperlink," and in the drop-down menu, select "Keynote File."
    Now all you have to do is click on that element when you're running the slideshow, and your other presentation will automatically open.
    Hope that helps!

  • Is there a photo album app that let's you add a photo to an album from the full-screen view of a photo, not the just thumbnail view?

    Is there a photo album app that let's you add a photo to an album from the full-screen view of a photo, not the just the thumbnail view?

    ...It's just really annoying to try to organize photos into an album when you can't see the full screen version of the photo... especially if you have several similar-looking photos, and you can't tell the one you want from looking at 40 thumbnails on an iPhone screen.

  • ITunes is splitting up albums because the 'date added' differs between songs?

    For example, 2 songs from an album were added on the 31st so they are shown as being a seperate album than the songs added today?
    I can just re add those 2 songs but I was wondering why this is suddenly happening?

    Start at the beginning.... Grouping tracks into albums.

  • Creating new photo album on the iPhone.

    How do i add a new photo album on my phone?

    Mac or Windows PC?
    If a Mac, are you using iPhoto for photo storage and management, or are you manually managing photo storage on your computer?
    If a Windows PC, do you manually manage photo storage on your computer or are you using an application for this?
    Creating photo albums for photos is done on your computer and transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.

  • What does the new Nano do at the end of a podcast?

    My wife has a 1G Nano that she listens to podcasts on while she runs. It has the annoying behavior of stopping playback when a podcast finishes, instead of going on to the next podcast. Some of her podcasts are only 5 minutes long, so this means she has to fiddle with it every 5 minutes or so to get the next podcast playing.
    Can someone with a new Nano please tell me what happens if you have several episodes of a podcast on it and you start playback? Does it still stop after the end of each episode or does it go onto the next one? Does it do the same if it's in shuffle mode?
    We tried to work around it by creating a smart playlist containing only podcasts, but I think this model has something wrong with it. Sometimes podcasts don't show up in the playlist, and sometimes podcasts show up in the playlist but not in the Podcast menu, and the syncing gets all messed up.
    Thanks!

    Hi Jeff,
    First I am not sure if your wife has multiple episodes of the same podcast she wants to listen to or if she has many short individual podcasts. Please note that below my suggestions differ depending upon which situation fits her problem.
    I do not have a 1G Nano but I do have an older iPod Mini which I suspect behaves in the same way as your wife's older Nano. I, too, was frustrated in having podcasts play one at a time. I have a couple of podcasts that have daily episodes and each of those episodes used to stop at the end and I had to select the next one to listen to it. This was frustrating because I usually build up a week's worth before getting around to listening to them. Then, by accident I stumbled upon a solution for the Mini. The podcasts also showed up under albums (and artists too) so I set my iPod to play the complete album, selected the podcast I wanted to listen to and was able to listen to all the episodes in that particular podcast. On rare occasion the order of the episodes might get out of chronological order.
    If your wife has multiple individual podcasts then she might want to try setting up a playlist with all the individual podcasts she wants to listen to and go with that. Experiment with the playlist idea and the shuffling options of the iPod to get multiple podcasts to play uninterrupted.
    I must admit that since I got the Touch for my birthday this winter I don't use the mini as much and am a bit rusty with all the settings of that iPod. My Touch will play through all unlistened to episodes of a particular podcast but will still stop at the end of each different podcast. I have not had the need to do anything drastic on the Touch since most of my individual podcasts are 1 to 2 hours long which is ample time for me to get in a good, long walk!
    Hope this helps you and your wife with her 1G Nano.

  • Switching itunes to new computer without losing the title editing

    Im curious if anyone knows a way to switch Itunes songs to a new computer without having a USB port. My old computer i have broken all of them (the reason I got a new computer) and im not sure how to switch my music to the new itunes on the new computer without having to re-edit ALL of my songs. I download all of my music not through I tunes and keep the music in its own folder. Then I just add it to itunes. The issue is I have to edit each song in itunes so the title is correct and only has the song title and not the artist or other stuff in the title. Im worried that if I download Itunes on the new computer and it automatically syncs all my music that ill have to go back and re-edit ALL of the songs. Which took hours to do the first time. I have all my music on the new computer- did it via file sharing across the network. Anyone have any idea on how to do this? I wish I could just hook the ipod up and have them transfer in to itunes so the editing stays.

    If you can still access the old computer across your network, you should copy the iTunes database (the iTunes Library.itl file) from old to new.  The metadata that you see in iTunes is a combination of information held within that database and the properties/tags embedded within your media files.  iTunes actually works much better with respect to creating/maintaining backups and transferring your library between computers if you configure it to copy music, etc. into the iTunes Media folder and to organize the files & subfolders within it, so that the library (by default in Windows Vista/7/8 C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes) has this structure:
    I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "The issue is I have to edit each song in itunes so the title is correct and only has the song title and not the artist or other stuff in the title."  Almost all (legitimate) sources - importing from your own CDs, purchases from the iTunes Store, Amazon, etc. - will always have separate metadata elements for Artist, Song Name, Album and Track No. (and in many cases will also have Album Artist, Disc No., Disc Count, and Track Count.  There are cases where changes you make after importing to iTunes may be overridden for iTunes Store purchases and/or if you subscribe to iTunes Match - this behavior can be disabled by ensuring that these options in Edit > Preferences > Advanced are not selected:
    If you change these you will need to restart iTunes for the changes to take effect.
