ITunes not properly alphabetizing "the" artists

Pretty self-explanatory, but let me clarify. Basically, there are certain albums by The Mountain Goats that get alphabetized under "T" (for the) instead of "M" like the rest of The Mountain Goats titles. I have checked to make sure the artist AND album artist are both "The Mountain Goats", but it doesn't seem to help. Is there a feature that organizes by "The" instead that I can disable? Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's driving me crazy!

It could be the order fields in Sorting in Get Info

I am trying to copy some songs from my playlist to a CD but it changes the order of the songs during the conversion. I want the songs in alphabetical by name but iTunes arranges them alphabetically by artist.

Get error message that says, "ITunes not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CD's, you must reinstall Itunes."

Hello:
I have installed Itunes on my new Windows 7 based computer (64 bit) and get the following error message everytime the program opens, "ITunes not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CD's, you must reinstall ITunes." So, I have removed ITunes, Quick Time and Apple associated software, twice, from my computer and reinstalled the latest version (10.4.1) but get no fix to the problem. ITunes will import CD's but will not burn them with this error in place. Anybody know how to fix this problem?

if you have 64bit os this is problem:
Any 64-bit version of Windows is not supported so you should expect certain things not to work. From Apple's iTunes page the Windows requirements are:
32-bit editions of Windows XP or Vista
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later required for Apple TV or iPhone
500 MHz Pentium class processor or better
QuickTime 7.1.6 or later (included)
256MB RAM
Supported CD-R or DVD-R drive to burn CDs
Broadband Internet connection (DSL/Cable/LAN) for buying and streaming music

Several artists are not showing in the artist list on the Ipod.

Ok. As the title implies on my Ipod there are several artists that are not showing in the artist list. However, in Itunes an artist is clearly defined. I even changed the artist name and still had no outcome. The album is there....but I have to sort through the artist list in order to listen to the music. Can someone help me figure this one out?

The "missing" artists probably have their albums tagged as "Part of a Compilation" and you have the Compilation setting turned ON on your iPod. Either turn Compilations off (go to +Settings/Main Menu+ and +Settings/Music Menu+ and disable Compilation on both menus), or edit the tags to remove the Compilation option. Compilations are intended to be used for multi-artist albums, but often you'll get an album from a single artist tagged as a Compilation since the Gracenote database has an error in it.

Deployment Rule Sets do not properly launch the latest available version from the JRE6 family when the jpi-version is specified by the RIA

Issue Summary
In Java 1.7 Update 71, Java 1.7 Update 72 and Java 1.8 Update 25 Deployment Rule Sets do not properly launch the latest available version from the JRE6 family when the jpi-version is specified by the RIA. We've noticed this with Oracle Forms and Reports 11g where we have forms that specify Java 1.6 Update 20. We used to be able to specify Java 1.6 Update 26 in our Ruleset, but now the only version a that works in our ruleset is Java 1.6 Update 20 which is the same version requested by the JPI-Version attribute of the jar. The long term solution would be to upgrade Oracle Forms and Reports, however this isn't currently in the cards.

Test 1 (Control)
Installed Java Versions:
– 1.7 Update 51 b13 (both x86 and x64 however x86 is invoked)
– 1.6 Update 26 b03 (both x86 and x64 however x86 is invoked)
Deployment Ruleset works as expected for both URLs
Test 2
Installed Java Versions:
– 1.7 Update 72 (both x86 and x64 however x86 is invoked)
– 1.6 Update 26 b03 (both x86 and x64 however x86 is invoked)
The RuleSet works for JavaTester.org however on internaldomain.name we get the following error:
With the trace logging turned on, I suspected the version attribute supplied by the RIA. I was able to trick Java by adding the following to my system deployment.properties file:
deployment.javaws.jre.0.product=1.6.0_20
deployment.javaws.jre.0.path=C\:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jre6\\bin\\javaw.exe
deployment.javaws.jre.0.enabled=true
Because the RIA requests 1.6.0_20 it matches 1.6* from the deployment ruleset sooner than 1.6.0_26. However, if 1.6.0_20 is not available 1.6.0_26 should match according to the Deployment Rule Set documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/security/deployment_rules.html
The version of the JRE that is used is determined by the following order of precedence:
1. The current version of the JRE is used if it is available and matches both the version attribute and the version requested by the RIA.
2. The latest available version of the JRE is used if it matches both the version attribute and the version requested by the RIA.
3. The current version of the JRE is used if it is available and matches the version attribute.
4. The latest available version of the JRE is used if it matches the version attribute.
If no version is available that meets the criteria, then the RIA is blocked, and a message is shown to the user. To provide a custom message, include the message element.
As a result:
If Java 1.6.0_20 is listed in the version requested by the RIA and 1.6.0_20 is listed in the deployment.properties file, #1 matches.
If Java 1.6.0_20 is listed in the version requested by the RIA, but 1.6.0_20 is NOT listed in the deployment.properties file the #1 SHOULD match, but doesn’t. It used to match up-to and including JRE 1.7 Update 51 however the ruleset appears to no longer match in subsequent versions.
#2 should never match with our current Deployment Ruleset. It would match if we specified 1.7* as a version in the Ruleset.xml.
#3 used to be broken as well after JRE 1.7 Update 51 however this bug has been marked as fixed. See: http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8032781
I have reproduced this issue with Java 1.7 Update 71, Java 1.7 Update 72, and Java 1.8 Update 25 when one of these versions are installed with Java 1.6 Update 26.

I can't seem to edit this post anymore, for some odd reason.
So here goes;
I found this post in NVIDIA's knowledge base;

The interesting parts in this post are as follows;
When an after-market graphics card is installed into a motherboard with UEFI enabled in the system BIOS, or if the system is a certified Windows 8 PC with Secure Boot enabled, the system may not boot.
UEFI is a new system BIOS feature that is provided on most new motherboards. A UEFI system BIOS is required in order for the Windows 8 Secure Boot feature to work. Secure boot is enabled by default on certified Windows 8 PCs.
In order to get the PC to boot with a graphics card that does not contain UEFI firmware, the end-user must first disable the secure boot feature in the system's SBIOS before installing the graphics card.
Note: Some system SBIOS's incorporate a feature called compatibility boot. These systems will detect a non-UEFI-enabled firmware VBIOS and allow the user to disable secure boot and then proceed with a compatibility boot. If the system contains a system SBIOS the supports compatibility boot, the user will need to disable secure boot when asked during boot process
This leads me to believe that the BIOS update that wrecked my setup was 9SKT58A/9SJT58A, which only contains one change;
"Adds support for updating BIOS from a WIN7 BIOS to a WIN8 BIOS".
I've just ordered a cheap UEFI-compatible GT640 from Gainward, so I hope I'll be able to try that out this weekend.

ITunes not properly sorting artists?

I sort my iTunes main music folder by Artists (A-Z) and for some reason, one of my artists' songs that start with an 'L' (Lana Del Rey) is in the middle of all the 'D' artists. The remainder of her songs are properly in the 'L' section, but I CANNOT figure out why this one song is in the 'D' section. I know it seems trivial, but it is actually driving me insane. I tried removing the song and re-adding it, but that did not work. I made sure all the information was consistent in the 'Get Info' area, but to no avail. Does anybody have any idea why this is happening, and/or a possible solution?
Thanks.

There isn't an album artist set, or a sort artist? If something was entered as Del Rey, Lana this would end up sorted by D.

Artists not shown in the "Artists view" on iTunes 11

On iTunes 11, in the "Artists view", the artists list on the left is only based on the album artists.
The problem is that the artists themselves are not shown in this list if for example a track is tagged with different "Artist" and "Album artist".
How to fix this ?

Go to the Songs view, enable the Column Browser from the menu if needed, then adjust the settings of :
View > Column Browser > Use Album Artists and
View > Column Browser > Group Compilations
to suit your needs. For some more thoughts on iTunes organization see Grouping tracks into albums.

I am unable to open the latest update (10.4) iTunes not properly configured

when I attempt to open it says iTunes was not properly configured and then close - I can't reinstall 10.2 since 10.4 in installed; it won't repair because mid-way thorugh it pops up "itunesresources is not an accessible file... make sure you have access to this file" and stops the repair.
any thoughts?
I HAVE used 10.4 since upgrading - I shut down my computer; when I rebooted a few days later, this is what happened...

Hey there Mambo822,
It sounds like you are unable to open iTunes after installing a recent update. I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following article:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.

How can an artist show as a search result yet not exist in the artist list?

I'm trying to import music from the My Music folder on my computer. I followed the steps outlined in the iTunes tutorial. When I search for the song, the artist and album show as search results, but the song does not. When I follow the link from the search to the artist, iTunes goes to the artist list, and the one I am looking for is not in that list- where does the song go when I upload it into iTunes? And how can the artist show up in a search result as existing in Music, but not actually be in the artist list?

Hi IWolbers,
>>I have a recurring problem where all of a sudden I can no longer see the values of my variables when I debug my unit tests. I cannot find a pattern as to when this happens but I experience this across one of every 20 tests that I write. Occasionally
this has also happened during normal debbuging of running code on my machine.
So you mean that it worked well before, am I right?
If you debug the same app in other VS machine, does it work well? So we could make sure that whether it is related to the VS IDE.
Please disable all add-ins in your VS IDE, and then reset your VS settings, debug it again.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms247075(v=vs.100).aspx
Or you could run your VS in safe mode, debug it again, at least, we could know that whether it is the add-in's issue.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241278.aspx
To make sure that it is not the project files' issue, create a new blank solution, copy the project files to the new solution, clean and rebuild the solution, check the result.
>>Once I step over this to the next line (screen shot 2) I get the error message 'The name '[variable name]' does not exist in the current context'
How about debugging it with "Step Into" instead of "Step Over"? Or you could add breakpoints between 234 line to 241 line, after the breakpoint is hit, check the watch window again. How about the result?
In addition, do you check other debugger window like local or others?

Jack

Itunes not properly intalled message

On opening Itunes i get the message "Itunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CD's you need to reinstall Itunes". I am able to import a CD without any problem but not able to burn a CD. I have done a clean uninstall by removing Itunes, Quicktime, Apple software update, Apple mobile device support, Bonjour and Apple application support. I have now tried this three times. I understand that it could be a problem with the GearAspiwdm.sys driver. I don't appear to have this driver installed. I have tried the gear support site and downloaded the driver installer but don't seem able to locate the gear driver anywhere on the system. Can any one help? I would be eternally grateful!
When i managed to load the gear drivers my PC would not recognise any CD/DVD drive on my system.

When closing 2 windows(with multiple tabs each), system restore does not properly restore the second window's tabs. Is this a bug in the new update/any ideas to fix?

I regularly use 2 windows with multiple tabs each and session restore would work to get them all back, but after this latest update the second window does not restore properly, with the first tab not visible on top(only in drop down menu) and the add a tab button now on the left(instead of right). The add a tab button is not really concerning other than it indicates other problems with the tabs on tab of the 2nd window. Not having the 1st tab visible is frustrating, because I can not move it or as easily navigate. Also, the tabs on top of the 2nd window that are visible no longer have the "x" to close visible unless that tab is selected. I'm assuming this is a problem with the new release/update, since this is the first time I've ever encountered the problem, and I've shut down and restored Firefox a few times to make sure this was a recurring problem and not a one-time deal. Any ideas on how to fix would be welcome(other than perhaps cramming my tabs onto one window or sucking it up XD).

ITunes not allowed in the Enterprise!

Ok so I want to sync data but iTunes is forbidden on our machines. I don't think we are the only company with this policy so how then is the iPad ready for enterprise use?

Sure, you could possible pair down iTunes for installation.
My company (having a globally installed base of 35,000+ workstations) will install and support BB software on a specific employee’s assigned desktop/laptop and is willing to do the same for iTunes to support the iPhone.
Our mobile phone users don’t create content on their phones. The BBs and such are generally only used for voice, email, calendars, notes, contacts.
Because of the way these devices are used, we're not required to install and support BB software on every workstation through-out the enterprise that a BB user may come into contact with throughout their business day.
However, the iPad is much more that a Black Berry/Smart Phone/iPhone.
Our employees that are asking for iPads are looking to eliminate the need to carry a laptop to access Intranet web sites, deliver presentations, check and compose email, create simple documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint compatible).
Any content that is created on the iPad needs to be accessible and shareable via USB and not just over 3G and WiFi. The vast majority of our global operation does not have WiFi coverage (and won’t anytime in the near future). 3G coverage is not always available or may be spotty (many locations only have the Edge network available and or no cell coverage due to the buildings structure).
As such, the inability to mount the iPad as a USB storage device to share content without iTunes severely restricts the device.
Apple, yourself and others chime in and say just install iTunes.
There is a very significant cost in deploying, supporting and maintaining iTunes on all of the workstations that iPad users may (or may not) need to connect to across a large enterprise - security, lifecycle, and deployment planning; QA and Certification the current and future application versions on each of the various workstation models (images) and environments (physical & virtual); deploy the application (tech and push installs); etc.
Is Apple, you or they going to pay for all of this this?
Quite frankly, there is no valid technical reason that the iPad cannot be plugged in and mounted as a generic USB flash drive to enable the sharing or files (other than Apples possible business desire to force us to us iTunes).
Until this is corrected and broad support for SSL VPN is available, we will not seriously consider the iPad for anything but very small well defined installations having a limited business scope.
