Itunes will not list my songs in the order i want.

about 5 minutes ago it was working... and now itunes somehow jumbled up all my songs on "My Ipod". and now it won't even give me the option of dragging them into the order i want. what went wrong?
Thanks- Shannon

SINCE UPGRADE
I have encountered the same problem and now have over 6000 songs jumbled up, each with their own coresponding album cover even though they belong to one specific album.. when clicking at 'quickly browse your itunes library' it displays the albums correctly but with the songs listed alphabetically rather than in the order the artist put them down on the album originally!
Is there any solution?

itunes will not open on my computer the icon on my desktop has changed to a white folder and it is still listed in start programmes but will not launch i am concerned about losing all my downloads

You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If there was one please give it in full.
Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

ITunes could not copy "insert song" to the iphone "insert name of iphone" because the file could not be read

It's about time i posted something about my problem because i've searched everywhere and I did not get the answer i wanted.
When i try to put a song (Drag and Drop) from my Library to my Iphone, the message "iTunes could not copy "insert song" to the iphone "insert name of iphone" because the file could not be read" shows up. I have no idea how to fix this, I haven't seen apple answer to a single one of these threads either.
I've only seen users try to answer this question.
Anyways, when i put the songs on my Iphone, it is also grayed out. There is also a dotted circle (symbol) beside the checkmark of the song.
I've tried creating a AAC version of all the songs already. No luck
Please help

Two possibilities come to mind.
Check your source hard drive for errors, right-click on the drive holding the library, click Properties, tools, check for errors, scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors...
Or...
Repair Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges.

HT5654 Just tried 3 times to update iTunes on my PC running Vista. There was an error. It stopped the installation. Now iTunes will not start at all. The error message tells me to reinstall which I tried but did not work. What should I do?

Hello, Jdragone.
Thanks for the question. 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 will not install. I get the error message "Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\com.apple.IE.client_main.dll Verify that you have access to that directory."

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

If you think the emoji is the cause of the problem, why not remove the emoji from your name?

My xp version of iTunes will not let me communicate with the store

my xp version of iTunes will not let me communicate with the store, I did have an internet issue but has since been resolved. I think.

Unfortunately, you're not the only one. There are a lot of people experiencing the same problem after upgrading. Check out the many recommendations and suggestions throughout the forum. It's worth a look. Good luck!

ITunes will not copy certain songs to my iPhone - I'm "not authorized for it on this computer"

Hi. I get an error when I try to transfer certain songs from my computer to my iPhone. I get the following error, "(song name) was not copied to iPhone "____" because you are not authorized for it on this computer." For the particular songs for which this error comes up, I purchased them many years ago. I had them on my PC and transferred them to my iPhone just fine. I recently got rid of the PC and bought a Mac Mini (yay!) and copied my files over to the new computer. Then, I connected my iPhone to the Mini and synced it. Then, I noticed that there were some songs on my phone that I didn't want on it so I unchecked them in the Library on the Mini and chose the "sync only checked songs" option and synced again. Nothing changed. So, then I did an Autofill thinking that would make the selected songs on my Mini and matched the songs I wanted on my iPhone. That's when I noticed the songs missing on my iPhone (songs that I had selected on my Mini and wanted on the iPhone). I've never really been able to figure out how to work iTunes so I'm sure I've done something wrong. I can't decifer the error message so your help would be greatly appreciated. (I've authorized the Mini.)
Any ideas what the problem might be? Thanks in advance.

Hi there!
I've a very similar & the same problem but for me this has been happening ever since iTunes 7.1.5, so not exclusively since 7.2 was launched
In addition to the same problem you're having, iTunes will not sync any of my converted DVD movies and several video podcasts giving me the same error message you mentioned. If it try to play these video's out side of iTunes with QuickTime, I get 'Error -36: An I/O Error' warning and thats it, but I can play with any other media player including the dreaded Windows Media Player! If I copy these files on to a separate HHD, Flash Stick or on to another PC (i.e. so they’re played from not in the iTunes folder in my documents) they all work fine and oddly also with QuickTime, so I'm happy the files are not corrupt. I'm afraid to attempt to play any remaining video's that I managed to sync sometime before this problem in iTunes because when I do, its then that I can never use it again and it gets removed from my iPod!
I can't find anything on this problem anywhere, and I don't know where to go to get help from Apple not that I’m sure they’d be too helpful?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Regards
Jaime

ITunes will not play music, songs stuck at 0:00

I know this is a frequent question as I've spent three hours searching through the support discussions here as well as elsewhere online, but none of the possible solutions I found posted worked for me.
The problem, if you're unfamiliar with it, is that iTunes will not play any music (either songs I've ripped or songs I've bought off of the iTunes Store).
I've tried updating iTunes and Quicktime, uninstalling and then reinstalling both, updating my audio drivers, playing with the preferences of both iTunes and Quicktime, made both programs the defaults for all associated file types, and rebooted countless times.
I'm on a 3-month old Dell Inspiron running Windows 7 if that makes a difference.
Any new suggestions anyone has or something random you may have tried that solved a similar problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm afraid the problem is more widespread than just iTunes and the update didn't fix it. There's a thread out there about users not getting any sound/audio in Lion after wake from sleep or just having it idle for a long while.
Hopefully, Mac OS X 10.7.2 will fix the issue.
Thanks!

ITunes will not import last song of any CD

Hi, hoping someone can help me out with this problem. I've been in the long process of importing all of my CD's on to my new iPod and was having no prblems until recently. From importing CD's perfectly, iTunes now stops from importing the very last song of every CD that I put in. It works right up until the last second of the last song then freezes, forcing me to ctrl/alt/del iTunes. All of the other songs go into the library. And, as an added bonus, iTunes does't play any songs on my computer - not as in I can't hear them, but as in the timer remains at 0.00 when I press play.
Can this problem be fixed at all? Any help would be very gratefully appreciated!

Itunes will not allow me to change the installation drive...

I have a PC with a hard drive that previously was partitioned into C: and D: segments. I have since removed the D: partition. itunes thinks it is still installed on the D: segment and keeps trying to perform downloaded updates there. My current D: drive is now a DVD ROM. When trying to install itunes updates, it will not allow me to change the destination. When I try to change it, I get the message "The volume D: is currently unavailable. Please select another." Then it gives me the "Finish" screen and doesn't allow me the option of changing the drive. SO... I tried uninstalling itunes. itunes will not allow me to uninstall it either. Please help.

Even though you're getting a slightly different error message, I'd try the following user tip:
