ITunes's not ignoring the word "the" when sorting artists starting with THE

Ive just bought my new mac, updated to the new iTunes version and transfered all of my songs to the iTunes library, but a problem appeared: iTunes is no longer ignoring the word "the" that comes before every band starting with the.
What can i do to put it back the way it was before?

That shouln't be happening. If should start an automatic restore process. You aren't holding down any keys when you click the restore button are you? You shouldn't be.

Yes the phone belongs to me. It was purchased from United Kingdom Vodafone to West Africa, i had to factory unlock to use any sim in it. so it belongs to me. I did the activation myself, now after updating my iphone to the latest update, it required a user id and password to activate the phone, but anytime i enter the details, it tells me the user Id is not correct but the password is correct..

Terrance Devlin answered a question about iPhoto (4-2012) re:copying iPhoto Library to an ExHD, and losing all the albums. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button. Can anyone help?

I tried to move my images (over 25,000) to an External Hard drive to open up some memory, hoping to make my computer run faster. It took three hours to move the images and I see them all in the mac's menus. However when I try to open them with iPhoto now, none appeared. and when I tried to import them back to the main HD they come in to iPhoto just fine, but not with the albums nor any of the massive organization i'd created in the original. this represents years of images, and I can't imagine that I'd have to recopy them into folders/albums again.
Terrance Devlin answered a similar question back in April of last year. He said to make sure the ExHD is formatted to MAC OS Extended (Journaled) and to move the library to the ExHD and then open iPhoto with the option button and select "Choose Library" from the resulting menu.
Command "I" tells me that the new drive is formatted correctly. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button.
First, I wondered if the application needs to be on the same drive as the Library. I sure would like to know if I can find out how to restore all the folders I had them in. Terrance's advice helped the user that had asked the question.

Can anyone help? I'm using iPhoto 5. My MAC is an OS X version 10.4.11.
thanks, brokenlom

Here are Apple's instructions:
If you are using iPhoto ’06 or earlier, you will need to follow these steps to tell iPhoto where the Library is now located:
Hold down the Option key on the keyboard and open iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you are prompted to create or choose an iPhoto Library.
Click Choose Library.
Locate and select the iPhoto Library in its new location.
(from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 )
Below (in the link below) is what you should see when holding down the option key and opening iPhoto. Keep holding down the option key until this dialogue comes up. You want to select the Choose Library button.

ITunes organizes albums/artists starting with 'The' correctly, why not 'A'?

I am very picky about how my music in iTunes is organized. One thing that I really like about iTunes is that it actually alphabetizes albums and artists beginning with 'The' as they should be. I loathe when a media player does not do this.
However, while iTunes does organize 'The' correctly, it does not organize 'A' correctly. For example, I am ripping the artist A Silver Mt. Zion onto my computer. The band name is A Silver Mt. Zion, and it'd feel wrong if I didn't have the 'A' there. However, this makes it organized incorrectly--it should be under 'S', not 'A'.
Is there a way I could at least fake iTunes into putting it under 'S'? I don't like it at the top, but also don't like it without the real band name.

I checked with the Genius Bar. It was a new dilema to the lady that was helping me. She took it to a back room and worked on it but it came out the same. She gave me some options for repair or credit for replacement.
I just kept the phone and put up with slowly charging it by plugging it in and then turning it off.
I couldn't transfer anything from itunes.
I finally got fed up and bought a new charging port for $10. and a toolkit for $3. I looked up a video on youTube for the replacement and did it.
That solved all the problems, it was the charging port, must have been some bad pins or something because it patially worked.

ITunes will not open my music CDs when I place them in the DVD drive. I am using Win 7 and latest download of iTunes. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with AV software turned off. No luck. Cannot upload my music CDs to iTunes library. Any ideas?

Using Win 7 and latest download of iTunes, the software will not recognize my music CDs when inserted in my DVD drive. I put a CD in the drive and nothing happens. iTunes does not have a "start" button, or some menu option to tell it to begin copying music to the library, so it just sits there. When I first installed iTunes, it would open the CDs, but I would get an error message after the first track started to transfer. Now, after a coupel uninstalls, disc cleanup, etc., nothing happens when I insert the CD. I am lost here and about to sell my new Ipod Classic because it is useless to me. Maybe I'm just too old to own something like this? Any (serious) suggestions would be appreciated.

In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
Click "Deuthorize ALL"
Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer. If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

My itunes will not pick up my ipads when i put it into the usb ports...???

Hi all,
I'm having a problem where neither of my ipads are being picked up by itunes when they are pulgged into any USB port.... They used to only 3weeks ago...
The only thing i have done is purchased an Ipod of ebay, and loaded music on to it.... i have only just found out the ipod is still registered to who ever had it before....
Is this the problem and any ideas how to solve it guys....?

Two separate problems.
For your iPads, try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTunes, Apple mobile device service, Apple application support. then redownload and reinstall iTunes
See if it sees your ipad now.
For the iPod, what you've run into is the activation lock. It's a new feature of iOS7 where an owner's apple ID is needed to wipe a device. If the ebay seller cannot or will not give you that apple ID, contact ebay and return the iPod. There is a very good chance that your ipod is stolen (or at the very least not the seller's to sell).
If you can't unlock it, you've bought a brick so get your money back.

I no longer get the hallow boxes when I select something with the selection tool.

I'm really frustrated. I use to be able to select an object with the selection tool and the bounding box would have hollow squares on the corners and in the centers of each side. I could use these to transform the object. Now the bounding box appears but the hollow boxes are missing and i have to use the free transform tool, which when I use to lengthen a text box vertically it stretched the text instead of just enlarging the bounding box. I have tried cntrl + shift + B but that does not solve the problem, What am I doing wrong and how on earth can I fix it. Please help.

Two things I can suggest:
1) Under view make sure that the show bounding box is checked.
2) My Illustrator does that sometimes. The bounding box will not have the corners. I just select the artwork then click on the selection tool again and they show up.....I guess its a glitch.

How do I turn off the camera lights when recording a video with the Android Turbo?

I want to use the Andriod Turbo camera video function in ambient lighting using the forward lens. But when I start recording both lights stay on. I can video with ambient using the look back lens. Not as good a quality and harder to aim.
Is there a setting that can turn off the lights until I want them? How is it done?
Thanks for the help.

Thank You! Problem solved. I am a new user to 'smart phones' and my original question probably should have been "How Do I Find The Camera Settings Menu?"
It wasn't obvious, but your reply got me searching again. I found that if you drag your finger from the left side of the screen to the center the semi-circular menu appears on the left. There I found the light control and other options.
I didn't know it existed and the manufacturer's manual that came with the phone gave no instructions on the camera operation.
abcdefg4, your comment helped me search a little harder. Thank you again.

My MacBook Pro will not start up. I only get a grey screen with the spinning wheel. No blue page appears and the grey screen remains. Tried starting with the Shift key but ineffective as well.

Can't get my MacBook Pro to start up. Have shut it down several times and tried restarting but all I get is a grey screen with the spinning icon. Apple Support online suggested starting with power button followed immediately with the shift key. Same results. Also tried power button with shift key, command, and V. Black screen appeared instead with lots of data language but still no starting. This final page was suppose to result in an internal system check and restart but nothing happened and the black screen remains.Where do I go from here? Scheduled for the Genius Bar tomorrow but would like to resolve this beforehand.

You may be having a hardware problem that you cannot resolve on your own. Nevertheless...
...hold down the command and R keys whilst booting to try to get to your Recovery partition. If you can, use Disk Utility to try to Verify your boot drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). If the verification fails, try to repair your hard drive. If everything appears to be OK, restart.
If you can't get into your Recovery partition, your problem is likely hardware related. If so, keep your appointment and see what the Apple techs have to say.

Using bootcamp for win 7pro 64 system but the resolution of the thunderbolt display is only 1280 X 800, updated grapics driver to Intel HD 3000. How can I get the quality the same as when it is used with the the mac os?

My thunderbolt 27" display works fine with Mac powerbook 13" 2.8Ghz, however with bootcamp and installed Windows 7 pro 64 bit version installed, the display only has a resolution of maximum 1280 X 800. I updated the graphics driver to Intel HD3000 with no difference. Any ideas how to get the same quality as with the mac os?

Just posted a problem I'm having connecting my Jaybird Freedom and iPhone5 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4716045). The Jaybirds connected fine with an iPhone4s and another (forgotten) device so I don't think the problem lies with the Jaybird. I'd be interested if you hear differently.

Itunes media folders for musical groups that Start with "The"

I am using Itunes 10.7 and have selected the option of copying files to Itunes media folder when adding to library. When I add a musician group that sometimes starts with "The" and other times don't start with "the" (eg Bee Gees or The Bee Gees) these two names are correctly sorted on the Itunes list - "The Bee Gees" sorts next to "Bee Gees".
When I look at the folders in Itunes/Itunes Media/Music I get one folder for "Bee Gees" and a second folder for "The Bee Gees. I have just started loading music into Itunes and already have 47 sets of folders where the groups are in two different folders - musical group name starting with "the" and another that does not start with the word "the".
Suggestions?
Thanks

As Ed says, that's the way it works. For any similar group decide which of the two forms you think is correct and then use it consistently in Artist, Album Artist, and Composer when relevant. While not the ultimate arbiter of fact Wikipedia suggests that Bee Gees is the correct form in this example.
See my article on Grouping tracks into albums for more.

Wrong alphabetical order if artists begins with "The"

This changed in iTunes 5 and stayed the same in iTunes 6, bt was correct in iTunes 4. This one effects only localized versions (German one), I think.
In iTunes 4, a leading "The" in the artist name, like "The Doors", was ignored and "The Doors" showed up amongst all other "D-artists". Since iTunes 5, all artist starting with "The" are listed unter "T", which is... annoying.
Please, please, change this again, release iTunes 7 next week if necessary, call it iTunes 11 if you like, or simply patch the German localization as appropriate, because we also say "The Doors", not "Die Doors" (which, by the way, would be handled correctly by a German version of iTunes)

Florian,
Das Problem lässt sich recht einfach lösen - die Lokalisierung war ziemlich gründlich:
Ctrl-Click auf iTunes in Programme: "Paketinhalt Zeigen"
Contents
Resources
German.lproj
Localizable.strings mit einem Editor öffnen.
NACH "DIE" in Großbuchstaben suchen ...
Es sollten folgende Zeilen auftauchen:
/* ===== Reordered Artist Strings ===== */
"146.001" = "Die ";
"146.002" = "%1, Die";
"146.003" = "die ";
"146.004" = "%1, die";
"146.005" = "DIE ";
"146.006" = "%1, DIE";
Diese Zeilen wie folgt ändern:
/* ===== Reordered Artist Strings ===== */
"146.001" = "Die ";
"146.002" = "%1, Die";
"146.003" = "die ";
"146.004" = "%1, die";
"146.005" = "DIE ";
"146.006" = "%1, DIE";
"146.007" = "The ";
"146.008" = "%1, The";
"146.009" = "the ";
"146.010" = "%1, the";
"146.011" = "THE ";
"146.012" = "%1, THE";

Firefox has been crashing a lot lately. All of this started with the 2nd-to-last Firefox update -- I refuse to do the new update because I'll lose an invaluable --to me-- add-on, ljlogin).

It does happen when I have multiple tabs open, but I generally have a LOT of tabs open so this is not new behavior from my browsing, Firefox is just not handling it anymore. All of this started with the 2nd-to-last Firefox update -- I refuse to do the new update because I'll lose an invaluable --to me-- add-on, ljlogin

Are you sure the multi-links icon on the bottom bar of your firefox window is enabled (ie not greyed out)?
