ITunes U lectures not sorted

I have a ton of iTunes U content that shows up under the "Music or Podcasts" section of my iTunes library but I can not get it to now show up under the "iTunes U" section. They are not sorting automatically and when I attempt to drag and drop them to the proper area the whole library area lights up, I drop them but they still do not sort.
On a side note, ALL of my Podcasts show up under my "Music" section as well. Basically if I go to "Music" I see EVERYTHING. If I go to "Podcasts" I see Podcasts and iTunes U stuff and if I click on "iTunes U" its empty. I even tried downloading something from iTunes U on my iPhone and syncing and still no go, and ironically enough, the item DOESNT even show in the iTunes U section of my iPhone's iPod.
This has been an issue for a long time (well not the iTunes U part but the rest) and now with iTunes 9 I have the sort issues with iTunes U. What gives? Am I just missing something that will auto sort these items into the appropriate locations?

To get you previously downloaded iTunes U tracks to appear in the new iTunes U section, you need to change the media kind for the tracks. It looks like this was a new field added in this latest release. Select all the iTunes U tracks. Then right click and select "Get Info". On the Options tab you will see a field labeled "Media Kind". Change the value to "iTunes U". The tracks will now show up in the iTunes U section. Should be the same thing for podcasts as well. Just pick the value of "Podcasts".

  • ITunes U - Lectures not in order when imported

    iTunes U lectures synched to my iPod are not in chronological order. As you can imagine, this is frustrating. Any ideas?

    This worked; I changed the media type to music, and made a new playlist, not an iTunes U lecture series, and now the playlist syncs in order. This seems pretty clumsy, inelegant, and a lot of work just to get the lectures to sort the way I want them to, especially since you might assume that if a lecture series can't be synced in the order that the user wants, it would automatically sync in the order the lectures were given.
    Thanks a lot, this what just happened with me when updating to iOS 4.2.1 and tip
    seems to be working with me as well.

  • ITunes 9.1 not sorting artists correctly

    Just upgraded iTunes on Win7 PC to 9.1 and seem to have a problem with sorting on the Artist.
    I have a large (2800 CDs + various downloads) collection, with a lot of jazz - so quite a lot of music where the artist name is not a band name but a person's name. I always edit the Artist name so that it's Last name, First. The Album Artist that was added a while back was a nice help in this issue, but it seems to be causing problems with 9.1 I noticed after the upgrade that iTunes went through my library - and afterward, I suddenly had 150+ artists more than I did before. Charles, Ray had become 1) Charles, Ray 2) Ray Charles 3) Charles, Ray. (Yes, TWO entries with Charles, Ray.) Many other artists have similar issues and it seems to be taking the Album Artist and making duplicate entries for songs/records. When I removed the AA from the above, it collapsed back into 1 artist.
    Additionally though, I have noticed that there is even more than that wrong. For example, I have many John Coltrane records. All 66 of them are now showing up in the sorting order as "Coltrane, John" - but in the letter "A" next to Alice Coltrane. Similarly for a couple of Stevie Wonder songs - they now show properly as "Wonder, Stevie" in the list, but they're sorted in "S" as if it's "Stevie Wonder".
    This is really maddening. It looks to me like Apple messed up something here, and it's playing total havoc with the organization of my collection.

    Update - it looks like after quitting and restarting iTunes, the problem of not sorting alphabetically (Wonder, Stevie in S) is gone.
    However, it does appear to be sorting on Album Artist as primary key, instead of just Artist, and so far I can't find a way to change that.

  • IPad Video app not sorting correctly

    All,
    Long time reader, first time poster - but I cannot seem to find a resolution to my issue, I fail to see how this issue could go unresolved for as long as I have had it;
    The iPad video App when streaming from a home shared iTunes account does not sort TV shows as per the TV Show / Season / Episode attributes in the metadata. Is there a fix for this other than re-entering the metadata to the Artist attribute - I have a moderately sized library and this would consume my attention for far too long, not to mention its double handling!!!
    Surely the introduction of a sort function on iOS devices and Apple TV is not too much to expect.
    Thanks
    PGEELONG

    Actually there is a fix, that I found from another thread. Plug in yor device to the computer as it's faster. Un synch all your music from the iPad, which will remove it from the Pad. When that's done, turn the music synch back on, putting your tunes back on the device.
    The music library is corrupted and this will fix that. A regular synch will not work.

  • How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums?  Is this possible?

    How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums?  Is this possible?
    That is about the best way I can phrase my question.
    I put year/month/date at the beginning of a show, hoping for them to sort by date and I get mixed results.
    Would creating a Folder within the Artists' existing folder  that said "Pearl Jam Live", inside the "Pearl Jam" folder in iTunes Media help this "Date Sorting Issue"?
    Thank you.

    Or is there a way to go through aperture to make a new reference library that I can move the masters into later?
    you do not move the masters into a references library - you turn your current library into a referenced library.  As Terence Devlin said:
    File -> Relocate Masters
    What you should set up:
    Select a folder, where you want to store your referenced files - probably on an external drive.
    Decide on a hierarchical folder structure inside this folder - that is completely up to you.
    Select a project from your library and use the command "File -> Relocate Masters/Originals" to move the original image files to the folder where you want to go them to. Only take care not to send two projects to the same folder.
    Alternatively, if you do not care about the folder structure Aperture will use, select all images at once from the "Photos" view and let Aperture decide how to assing the folders - in the "Relocate Originals" dialoge you can specify a subfolder format.

  • Synced photos from iTunes not sorted correctly

    I have around 300 pics that I took with my iphone that I moved to a local folder on PC.
    I want to put those pics back on the iphone to use in a timelapse video.
    I enabled Photo sync on itunes and chose that folder, and synced.
    All synced OK, but these pics are not sorted correctly on the iphone.
    The file names on the PC are exactly as iphone assigned them when taken, and according to date taken.
    It is very important that they are sorted in ascending file name; any ideas how I can correct the sorting?
    Thanks.

    For those in this discussion concerned with the "Sort" order, the criteria is in the "metadata" date that changes when you adjust the photos.
    The directions below apply to Lightroom
    To keep the order you created you must make an adjustment to "ALL" photos at the same time such as increasing the contrast by (1) point.
    First select and change the contrast in the first photo in your collection, then select the remaining photos, click "Sync" The "Metatdata" date will change on all photos selected and will then import in the prper order.
    I should mention that I have renamed all photos so they have a name that is sequential but I don't know if that matters

  • ITunes 11 not sorting multi-disc audiobooks by disc number

    I just updated to iTunes 11, and for some reason, my multi-disc audiobooks are not being ordered by disc number in the Books view. Instead, it goes track 1 of disc 1, track 1 of disc 2, etc.
    The tracks have the disc numbers in their metadata, so why aren't they being sorted that way?
    This issue does not occur for music tracks, however. Puzzling, eh?

    Guys, I have the ultimate solution!
    Use the following Applescript:
    Embed Disc Number in Track Number v1.0
    Applies selected tracks' disc number as hundreds digit in track number

    It is a reversible operation by definition!

  • HT1347 I have an mp3 DVD with episodes of Gunsmoke.  iTunes imports them, but does not sort them correctly by date or episode.  One file name is GS 52-04-26 001 Billy the Kid.mp3

    I have an mp3 DVD with episodes of Gunsmoke.  iTunes imports them, but does not sort them correctly by date or episode.  One file name is GS 52-04-26 001 Billy the Kid.mp3.  iTunes sorts them by month/day/year.  How can I fix that?

    The weird thing is, it worked before. I encoded all the videos previously and had them all listed and didn't encounter this problem, but I noticed I'd forgotten to decomb/detelecine the videos so I deleted everything and re-encoded it all. AFter filling the tags out and setting poster frames again I was thinking of making life easier by just pasting the same artwork for every episode, so I did, but didn't like the results so I deleted it again (I selected every video, used Get Info and pasted the artwork that way).
    I think it was after this that the problem started to occur. In any case I've been through every episode and made sure the name, series, episode and episode id fields are all filled in with incremental values and they are. I even made sure the Sort Name field was filled in on every video. But this didn't work either.
    So, thinking another restart was needed I deleted every video again. Re-encoded them all, again. Set the tags for every video and poster frame again. Finished it all off nicely, checked cover flow and was highly annoyed to find it was STILL showing the same two pieces of art work for every video as shown in that image I posted.
    Ultimately, I wouldn't care so much that cover flow is screwing up like this as I always intended to sort by program anyway so it would only ever display one piece of artwork for an entire series of videos, however where-as when it was working it picked the artwork for the first episode of a series to display, its instead picking one of the latter episodes. I can't seem to find any way of choosing what artwork I want displayed.

  • A recent download the CD gets stuck and repeats.  I believe that this is a fault in the CD not picked up by Itunes.  Downloading again may not sort this out.  Who do I contact to tell this to.

  • Itunes is not sorting my podcast playlist by 'Release Date'?

    I have a Macbook running Mac OS 10.5.8.  In iTunes 10.5.2 [11], I set up a playlist of my  podcasts sorted by 'Release Date' & have everything automatically sync to my 4th Generation iPod Touch which is running ios 5.0.1 [9A405].
    On my Macbook in iTunes with my iPod Touch attached by the iPod Touch cable, I see that my iPod touch is sorted by 'Release Date'.  But, when I look on my iPod Touch is not sorted by 'Release Date', but sorted by random? 
    On my macbook itunes does sort by 'Release Date', but not on my iPod Touch
    When I was running ios 4, I didnt have this problem, could it be a bug in ios 5.0.1?
    Harold

    Hi Harold,
    I have a similar problem with my ipod nano, though the podcasts do not play in a random order when they get to the ipod; whererever I start to play the podcast, once that is finished, it automatically plays the previous episode instead of the next episode. Very annoying.

  • I submitted my podcast and I got an email saying error, I checked with the feed validator and got this message: This feed does not validate. line 40, column 6: Undefined item element: itunes:order, how do sort this out, someone help me please.

    Ignore it. 'itunes:order' is a recent addition which FeedValidator doesn't know about. If your podcast is rejected that is unlikely to be the reason. Of course as you haven't posted the feed URL nor the text of the error message I can't make any further comment.

  • Why does iTunes grid view not remember default sort settings?

    Hello,
    I am using iTunes 8.1 and I like to use the Grid view (Artists). Using the Grid view and clicking on an artist to look at the albums, I like to sort the albums within using "Album by Year".
    Once I have made this change, it sticks until I close iTunes, so I can go into any other artist from Grid view and the albums will be listed using "Album by Year" automatically.
    When I restart iTunes and click on an artist in grid view, iTunes has reverted to sorting via the first column, the one with track numbers. I then have to manually click "Album by Year" to get it sorted again.
    I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if there is a solution to it? This also happened in iTunes before I upgraded to 8.1.
    Thanks

    Unfortunately, I can't offer any solution because I'm experiencing the same kind of trouble. Please help us! It would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,

  • New update deleted all of my lecture notes and wouldn't restore recent backup. How can I download them from the cloud to my iPad? (not at my computer right now)

    (It's fifteen minutes before class starts)
    I tried to back up all of my devices before making the update to 7.0.6.
    My iPad was ejected and iTunes told me that it couldn't be updated due to some error (this was yesterday). Then when I plugged it back in, it said I needed to restore my iPad, and I couldn't get to the home screen or anything, it just showed a "Connect to iTunes" icon. So it restored a really early version (with notes from last semester but not from this semester), even though I'm sure I've backed it up at least twice since I got it (1-13-14).
    I got onto the Cloud and downloaded some important lecture notes before performing the update just to make sure that they would all be up to date, but those are on my computer, which I am currently not at, so I can't download them. I saw that my iPad was syncing with my Cloud, so my college notes were all showing up, and I didn't stick around to make sure that the current ones showed up (but they're on my cloud, so wouldn't they?).
    Also, I use Branchfire's iAnnotate PDF, and all of my highlighted articles for research papers and summaries are gone. I'm missing important articles that had notes for two seminars, and they're all gone. I'm confident I can recover things from the cloud, but iAnnotate doesn't use the cloud. Is there a way to find those again?
    What I'm curious about right now is if there's a way to download from the Cloud to my iPad, because that's where my notes are.
    Does the cloud sync FROM my iPad? As in, if it isn't on my iPad will it delete documents from my Cloud? Or if it's in the Cloud, will it sync to my iPad if it's absent here?
    This is really frustrating, especially because I TRIED to back everything up just to be safe. I tried everything, and I still lost all of my important files. This is beyond frustrating, it's devastating. This is unacceptable.

    There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here. 
    To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store. 
    Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
    Hope this helps.
