Itunes Compilation Ordering Help

Hiya all, my itunes seems to have gone crazy....
On a number of compilations it seems to be sorting the tracks in alphabetical rather than track order and it is driving me mad. It is not all of my compilations though, just a random assortment.
I have double and triple checked all of the tags and they are fine, have tried playing the same albums in winamp and wmp and they play in track order.
This has only started happening recently and I cant for the life of me figure out why.
Any help you guys could offer me would be great! Thanks a lot.
I have attached a screenshot to better explain what I mean, the top compilation (tidy boys summer seaside special discs 1 and 2) is sorted by alphabetical artist name, yet the highlighted one underneath it is sorted my track number.
=(

Hey elgriffiths,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues downloading your pre-ordered content. The resolution is going to depend on the error message you are receiving, however, I have included two articles that address a number of common errors:

When setting up me new iphone - it is asking me for an iCloud password for an email address that doesnt belong to me - it is asking this info in order to retreive previously purchased items on itunes, etc. Help?

When setting up me new iphone - it is asking me for an iCloud password for an email address that doesnt belong to me - it is asking this info in order to retreive previously purchased items on itunes, etc. Help?

These are a couple different issues
The purchase issue means they came from a different Apple ID
      You will need that Apple ID and password for those purchases
The iCloud account can be an Find My iPhone issue.
       That could be the same Apple ID as the purchased or yet another one.
              Once again you will need that Apple ID and password.

Now I don't know what to do.
Thank you very much

Plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on it from under Devices in the left hand pane. This brings you to the Summary tab. Locate and click on the Music tab. What configurations do you have made from under this tab? Is your iPod configured to sync those playlists?

I recently updated and restored my Iphone on a Mac. My music was erased, therefore, I am trying to sync all of the music from my computer into the iPhone, but it says that I need to use the original computer/itunes in order to sync, but it is the same computer and iTunes account. The error reads: The iPhone, "Name" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and a sync with this iTunes library? If I click "Erase and Sync," will it delete my contacts, apps, etc?

Hi, Mommacat26.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This usually means that a required component is missing. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

Itunes user accounts help!

I think I am about to have a heart attack.
In order to resolve our issues with my iphone stuff going onto my partner's ipad, I did what the Apple website said and held down the shift button while opening itunes in order to create him his own itunes account as we only have ONE desktop to use for our house.
I created his account and then we ended up having to go to the apple store anyways to get advice, but now we are home and I want to access MY itunes account in my desktop that i have been using for years and it's not there.
Holding shift down while opening itunes brings up a dialogue box which states i can quit, open an account or create an account.
HOW do I get my itunes back?
I had playlists, equalizer setting and loudness settings for over 30,000 song files, not to mention my movies, books, apps.
If I don't hold shift down when opening itunes, it just opens my partners itunes which has nothing in it but a few ipad apps.
Can anyone help me out please, I feel like my head is going to explode.
thanks,
Michael

Thank you ed,
I meant new itunes library and realize I might have confused many with my post.
I am able to open my library now, but not my partner's itunes library. I know it is there becuase if i click to "create new library", it is listed there, but I do not have the option when I click "choose library".
So now I am still confused, not panicking as I can find my stuff (30,000+ songs files).
Are you able to help with that one?
Thanks very much,
Michael.

HT3702 i want 2 cancel my visa from my account and us itune card pls help me

i want 2 cancel my visa from my account and us itune card pls help me

In order to take the credit card off of the account, you will need to open the iTunes program on your computer, pick the option for store from the left, and then pick account from the right under quick links. In the account you should be able to change credit card type to 'none' and/or add a gift card.
If you are doing this from iphone, ipad, or ipod touch, it will be under settings > store
if you continue having problems, you can contact itunes directly by filling out the form below. they will follow up via email to make sure your account issue is resolved

How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)?

How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)? Currently each of us has our own iTunes account, so I've made an "all office" Apple ID. However, I can't seem to get two different accounts (my personal and the office) to work on my machine. Even when I login as "the office", my personal library is still showing. Additionally, when I try to setup with a first-time use in iTunes, I get an error that I don't meet the minimum age requirement - no matter what birthdate I enter!

The library exists regardless of which user is logged in.
The only way around that is to create different user accounts on the computer.
There is no way to have 20 unique iTunes users access a shared iTunes under a single login on the computer.

I get error message "unknown error" When trying to log on to itunes via pc, help please!
