ITunes Playlist not organized the same way in iPhone?

I have my playlist organized in a chronological order for my podcast. Oldest first to newest last. My iPhone playlist is alphabetical? How can I have my playlist match my iTunes playlist in a chronological order?

the reason is that this is a bug, for playlists, smart playlists, and podcasts for many users.
It has been around for a while, and you can find all sorts of discussions about it in this forum, the ipod forum, and the itunes forum.
everybody keeps hoping that apple will fix it in the next firmware update, but there have been a few since then and it still hasn't been fixed.
the tip i posted works for playlists and smart playlists, my podcasts used to have the same problem but then for some reason they didn't.
are your regular/smart playlists messed up as well, or is it just podcasts?

HT204406 I have subscribed to match on iTunes and organized my music on my Mac Book. Why does it not appear the same way on my iPad

I would like my music to appear organized in the same way on my iPad as I have done it on my Mac Book. (and on my iPhone as well) Since it is in the cloud, why does it not appear the same way in all devices?

The purpose of iTunes match is to make your music library available to all of your devices anywhere. It will sync Playlists, but no other type of organization you may have made.
If you're having trouble, be sure you are logged into the same Apple ID on all devices but be sure to read this article and pay special attention to associating your devices with an Apple ID. There are important restrictions you should know about.

In Keynote09, if i set custom presenter display settings (large presenter notes), and i save the file, will i see my notes in the same way on another computer? Are the presenter display setting saved in the file?

How do I get itunes to not list the same artist more than once?

How do I get ituens to not list the same artist more than once? I have tried editing the info, sorting different ways and sometimes it works and sometimes not...it's very frustrating to me to have the same artist listed multiple times...

Setting a common Album Artist for each Album does most of the work. For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.
In general you need to make sure that all the values in the tags are used consistently. Same spelling, same capitalization, same accents, no leading, trailing, or multiple spaces, and each value of Artist, Album Artist or Album should only be associated with one value of Sort Artist, Sort Album Artist or Sort Album respectively.

Help required please. "Itunes can not read the contents of my iphone"

Greetings all,
I know this question has been asked before and I apologize for asking again but all the solutions provided don't seam to work for me, can anyone help me please.
I am receving the message: "Itunes can not read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the summary tab In iPhone Preferences and click restore torestore this Iphone to factory settings".
Now a little about my iphone, Itunes and my laptop and what steps i havealready tried.
I have an iPhone 4 running software 5.0
My itunes version is 10.5.0.142
I know these are not the most up to date versions but I have had this issue for almost 3 months now and updating the software back then was the first step I tried. I don’t believe updating to the latest will fix this issue as updating the last two times did nothing.
Every so often after starting Itunes, The program will stop responding and will require the three finger death kill (CTRL, ALT, DELETE) to open task manager to end the task of Itunes. Once it shuts down, I restart the iTunes and it runs smoothly, apart from not reading my iPhone.
When I run a diagnostic in itunes under the help tab, I get these fail messages:
Network Connectivity test: Secure link to Itunes store fail
Device connectivity test: Under support services: Itunes helper is not running. And under ports: No iPod, iPhone or iPad found.
Device Sync test: No iPod touch, iPhone or iPad found.
*See below for full diagnostic report*
I have restored back to factory settings twice.
I have shut down and restarted both my iPhone and laptop.
I am running Windows 7 32-bit on my laptop.
I am using ZoneAlarm as my fire wall, and have been disabling it when syncing my iPhone to prevent other error messages.
The iPhone is plugged into a genuine Iphone USB cable and is plugged into a USB port not a USB hub on my laptop, I have tried plugging it into all 4 USB ports and this issue still persist. The Cable is less then 5 months old, is not frayed or damaged in any way, have also borrowed 2 other cables from friends and still the same issue.
The iPhone does not even come up in windows explorer as a digital camera.
The iPhone is NOT jailbroken
I do not live close to a so called genius bar, however I have made the journey to them on 3 separate occasions last year when I first received my iPhone for a different issue, the so called genius's could not fix the problem so they just gave me a new (refurbished) iPhone, which did not extend my warranty. I will not be taking the iPhone back to them as I believe they can not resolve many issues, this is why I am reaching out to the power of the people in the wider apple community.
I have read in other forums about ifunbox and other programs for jail broken iPhones to isolate folders “iTunesDB” and "iTunesCDB" and delete them. If this is the issue is there a way to access these files through windows explorer as my iphone is not jailbroken.
I hope I have provided enough information and someone can help me fix this issue. If I have left anything out, please let me know. I thank everyone in advance for your patience and support.
Thanks

Hi AM_Kidd.
Thanks for your reply.
I have done a complete uninstall and re install of iTunes and all related apple programs from my laptop through control panel, add remove programs and also by going through program files and deleting all tracers of any left over folders remove programs may have missed.
My apologies for forgetting to add this in my original post.
Thanks again

Messages from topic to multiple consumers are not ordered the same way

Hi,
We have a distributed topic. The message producer is a multi-threaded/connection producer (OSB in our case).
On the other side of the DT there are single connection consumers.
Our problem is that the consumers sometimes recieve the messages in different order:
Consumer A recieves message N and then N+1 (correct behaviour).
Consumer B recieves message N+1 and then N (correct behaviour).
This does not happen all the time. Most of the time the order is correct (99.9..%).
We also noticed that the message timestamp for message N and N+1 is the same.
This creates a problem for our system since both consumers must get the messages in the same order.
We cannot use UOO.
Any idea if this is a correct behavior for DT?
Any idea how to make the messages get to all consumers in the same order without using UOO?
Thanks,

Hi,
Hmm. You may have run into some new Bug given since "message timestamp for message N and N+1 is the same". First, let's dot our I's and cross our Ts to make sure that the system is setup in a way that will give you good ordering in the first place:
- Always use the same producer instance for each sequential send, and ensure that the producer's connection factory has "load balance" set to false. Note that OSB may be using a pool of producers implicitly for your sending app underneath-the-covers, which could lead to out-of-order, as different producers can load balance to different servers in your cluster. (I'm not sure how to check for this - if you provide a code snippet, I may be able to tell if this is happening.)
- Ensure that you only ever have a single thread processing the subscription - if you're using MDBs to receive from the subscription, then you need to ensure the MDB is setup to only startup a single thread (use a thread pool of size and/or set max-beans-in-free-pool to one)
- To account for out-of-order after app message processing failures (redelivery) with async consumers or MDBs, you need to (A) never configure redelivery delays, and (B) ensure the connection factory Maximum Messages setting is tuned down to 1 (it's default is 10).
I don't know how to do the above with OSB, which tends to layer it's own configuration on top of WL JMS configuration.
Assuming that you've assured all of the above, then you may have run into some sort of bug and I recommend filing a request with Oracle Support. In the mean-time, you might want to explore alternatives:
- Are you certain that you can't use UOO? It would be interesting to know why. This is a widely used feature (even by OSB itself), and it may be that you can enable it without any code change, plus, even if a code change is required, such changes tend to be isolated and small. In your use case, it looks like you may be able to configure a default UOO on the distributed topic itself (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/wlsmbeanref/core/index.html) - no code change needed - so that every destination member of your distributed destination will simply ensure that each new message is given the same UOO (a UOO that's particular to that member). OSB may provide some equivalent knob. Alternatively, you can code up your app so that each of your producers sets a useful UOO on each message.
- I assume you're using a replicated distributed topic (RDT). If there actually is a bug, then it would likely have something to do with the RDT's internal forwarders. If your consumers are MDBs or the SOA RA Adapter, then a simple alternative may be to use a Partitioned Distributed Topic (PDT) instead -- PDTs have no forwarders, and the MDB and the SOA RA Adapter can work with them transparently. If your consumers are neither of these, then working with a PDT will likely require that you use extensions (an advanced path that you may not want to take the time to follow).

Nautilus not thumbnailing the same way after upgrade to 2.20.

This would probably be a minor annoyance to most people, but to me, it is a great one.
Nautilus hasn't been generating the same type of thumbnail images as before. Touching the image makes it regenerate the thumbnail, but this doesn't even happen all the time. I have a screenshot to show you what I mean:
Click for bigger (non imageshack) version.
I am referring to the borders on the ticked images that aren't present on the others.

There's a bug report for it in gnome's bugzilla, see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478363, there's also a patch there which is committed to the 2.20 branch so it seems probable that it will be fixed in gnome 2.20.1 (which is due tomorrow), but who knows...

Smart Playlists not showing the correct songs on iPhone 4

I created a "Smart Playlist" called "100 Newest" which takes the 100 newest songs added to my music list on iTunes. It displays perfectly on iTunes on my computer but when I sync my iPhone4 to my iTunes, it syncs the regular playlists I create to my phone just fine. But the "smart playlists" added to my iPhone show up with the correct title, but when I view the playlist on my iPhone, it shows all the songs in my Library under that playlist. It will NOT show the 100 Newest songs like it shows on my playlist when viewed in iTunes on my iMac. Grrrrrr! Does anyone know how to fix this annoying problem. It's one problem after another I'm dealing with in terms of these playlists to appear and play prooperly on iPhone ios 5.0.x.

What type of email?

How do I get itunes to sort songs the same way my ipod does, without renaming the songs?

Itunes and my ipod use different algorithms when sorting songs. Here are a few examples:
In itunes, apostrophes come before spaces/other characters ("It's Good to Be King" comes before "It Keeps You Runnin'" and "You're an Original" comes before "You Better You Bet." In my ipod, apostrophes come after spaces/other characters.
In itunes, numerical song titles are sorted by the first number, then the second, and so on (18, 1983, 2112, 25, 3). In my ipod, numerical song titles are sorted in ascending numerical order (3, 18, 25, 1983, 2112).
The order is relevant for two reasons. One, I like the sound of the song flow generated by my ipod's sorting better than the one generated by itunes. Two, I use play count to determine whether or not to keep a song on my playlist (songs that I skip over repeatedly get cut entirely) and the changing song order tends to mess up the play count.
So, other than going in and changing the names of the songs, is there some way to make itunes behave like my ipod?

I deal with the numeric ordering by padding out the sort fields with leading zeros. iTunes used to sort numbers by value but it seems the code for that got removed at some point and hasn't been replaced. You should be able to use sort values to achieve some consistency between the two views of your media.

Class.newInstance() does not work the same way in Java 5.0

We upgraded our development environment to RAD 7, and I am experiencing an interesting problem with the code below which worked perfectly with the previous version.
Class cloneClass = fromObject.getClass();
Object toObject = null;
toObject = cloneClass.newInstance();
I am using an open source hashtable called OrderedHashtable that uses the key-value lookup capabilities of a hashtable and order preserving capablities of a vector. It stores the objects in a hashtable and stores the keys in a vector.
fromObject in the code above is a key (String) that I retrieve from the OrderedHashtable and clone it using the code above. But with java 1.5 , the cloneClass.newInstance of this String object returns an empty string.
I guess there is a work around where I can check if the cloneClass is an Instance of String and just do fromObject.toString(), but I was curious to know if there was a change in the way class.newInstance() works in Java 1.5

>
fromObject in the code above is a key (String) that I retrieve from the OrderedHashtable and clone it using the code above.No. How could that code possibly clone a String? Where are you telling it what the new String's contents should be?
(HINT: Nowhere.)
I guess there is a work around where I can check if the cloneClass is an Instance of String and just do fromObject.toString(), but I was curious to know if there was a change in the way class.newInstance() works in Java 1.5No, it has not changed.

How to get pictures organised the same way on the iPad as they are on the PC?

When syncing pictures from my PC to my iPad the same albums are shown on my iPad as on my PC, but the pictures seems to be organised in random order within the albums, i.e. they are not organised the same way as on my PC. I've named all pictures on my PC and organised them based on name. Does anyone know how I can get iTunes/the iPad to sync the pictures in the same order?
Best regards,
Cecilie

Are you syncing the photos by selecting folders or by selecting a photo app that you have on your computer ? If you are syncing folders then they will be sorted by their 'date modified' fields (I assume that still applies on iOS 8), not by their filenames - so you will need to amend their 'modified' fields to be in the order that you want them to show in.
Or there are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro (help pages) - you can copy photos to/from that app and your computer, and you can change the sort order of albums within the app.

ITunes Playlists Not Showing Up On Secondary Computer, Sharing The Same Apple ID

I'm trying to help a friend who has an old HP laptop that serves as her primary computer for all her music. She has synced this with her iPod. She then synced her iPod with her PC computer at work. Everything is working great, except on her work computer her playlists aren't showing up. What could be the reason for this?
I suggested iTunes Match may be the answer, but she's wondering if there's a way other than using this pay service. Please advise.
Thank you.

Playlists are specific to the iTunes library on a computer. Unless she has the same library (by which I do not mean the same music, but the same library.itl file and supporting files) each computer will have a unique library even if the media content is identical.
Usually if you sync a device to one computer and then plug it into a different computer it will want to wipe the device so it can sync to the other library. The exception would be if you had exactly the same library on each computer, or they were sharing a library on a local network.
If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.) When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202

Why are lyrics not viewable in itunes in the same way as on the ipod?

Why are lyrics not viewable in itunes in the same way as on the ipod? In itunes all you get is "Get Info" then "Lyrics" and that screen then locks itunes until you close it. Inflexible, annoying and surely unnecessary?

All songs need Album, Artist and title.
Also, look under Artist -> Compilations.

ITunes Won't Appear On iphone 5 the same way it appears on my Macbook Pro.

As to the wrong artwork - are you using iTunes Match? Music downloaded from iCloud may occasionally show the original artwork of the matched song, and not the artwork you assigned to the album.
