Multi Disc Set order

Hi,
I have a problem. I have several large boxed set items with over 10 discs. I have them labled (for example)
Artist: McLaughlin, John
Album: Montreux Concerts CD1 (Mahavishnu Orchestra)
Etc..
So, the problem is that CD 10 gets ordered (in Artist sort, which it the way I want it) between disc 1 and 2. Is there a syntax I can use other than disc numbering in the properties - which I can't do because the titles are different - to order them correctly?
Thanks

Hi, seanter.
The only thing I can think of would be to tag the "single digit" CD's as CD 01, CD 02, CD 03, etc.
CD's 10 and upwards should then go in their expected positions.

Can't import all of a multi-disc set

I've got a 16 disc language course that I'm trying to import into iTunes, on an HP desktop, so that I can load it onto my iPad. First off, it imported all of the discs, but it scattered the lessons around in various "albums" that it seemed to just arbitrarily create. What's up with that?
Secondly, there's one disc that it will import, but the lessons on it will not show up on the list of songs. I know it's imported, because I can find it on my hard-drive, in the same location as all the others, and I can play the lessons on Windows Media player. I was also able to import these 2 lessons onto my Android phone, along with all the others. Any ideas why these 2 lessons won't show up on my song list?

Thanks for the reply. I get what you're saying about the database. I've basically decided to just use iTunes as a syncing devise for my iPad, and just sort of organize the few things I sync.
As for the 2 missing lessons, I fixed that by manually forcing iTunes to locate the lessons. Basically, I found them by comparing the run times of the 2 lessons, and finding mislabeled "tracks" that for some reason iTunes couldn't locate, but they were on the song list, with the correct run times.How do you have much info, and not know where it is?

Import Multi-Disc CD as One Album

I'm brand new here and just tried importing my 2-disc CD of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" into iTunes to synch with my iPod (30 GB) using the latest iTune 7.0.2 software. How do I make the 2-disc album show up as only one album in iTunes and on my iPod instead of two separate entries (The Wall[Disc 1] and The Wall [Disc 2])? I'm going to have to figure this one out since I have a lot of multi-disc sets to scan.
Thanks,
garwar

I think Damon has misunderstood your post. You want 2 discs to show as one, correct?
Importing multi disc sets into iTunes as one disc means that you'll need to edit the album info to show it as one disc. I usually import the separate CDs first, then edit them into one album afterwards.
First, highlight all the songs from these CDs in iTunes, right click on them and select "get info" This brings up the "multiple item info window". Now go to the "album name" field and retype the album name to one that suits and this rids the "disc 1, disc 2" info that you do not need.
Then you'll need to renumber all the tracks. Start with the first disc and in the "track number field" start with "1 of *, (* being the total number of tracks on all discs). Do this on all the discs in the set. When you've done the first disc, carry on sequentially with the numbers.
Now, in the "disc number" field you 'll need to enter "1 of 1" to ensure that iTunes reads all discs as just one.
I would also make sure that other info like "artist", "genre" and "year" are the same.
When you're done, click "ok" and all the discs should be read as one. If they aren't, then go back and check everything that you've altered.

I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order.

I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order. The "Apply Sort Field" and "Same album does not work, but ti is only these two RCA albums that do this. All other albums remain intact. Need help with this minor problem. Thanks.

UPDATE: This behavior (to an extent) still happens when "Repeat Album" is off. Instead of an infinite loop, it goes through all the tracks on the album (unsuccessfully) and kicks me out to the Album overview screen. Going back to list of Albums and tapping the Album again brings up "No Content: You can download music from the iTunes Store" but that screen immediately kicks me back to list of Albums.
So I am just even more confused now.

How do i play a two disc set?

How do you play a 2 disc set as one complete disc?

See Grouping tracks into albums and the topic One cover for multi-disc album.
Using Pink Floyd's The Wall as an example, in iTunes 11.0.3 setting disc 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 for tracks 1-13 and 14-26 respectively gives this view:
Whereas disc 1 of 1 or <Blank> of <Blank> gives this:
Though obviously that only works if you've sequentially numbered the whole album first, otherwise the order would go out of kilter.
In either case the whole 2-disc set will play through either in iTunes or on a device.
Depending on your luck you may need to close and reopen iTunes to see the change after updating the tags.

Problem with iTunes not sorting album/disc sets right, can't edit album info?

Hi there,
I have recently been having an issue with my iTunes software. Here is what is going wrong: I right click on an album in my iTunes library, then select "Get Info." The "Get Info" window pops up, and I seem to be ready to edit my album information. Specifically, I am trying to edit the "disc number" (Disc Number 1 of 33, for instance). I can click on the little number boxes, and I can seemingly edit the numbers inside (i.e., change the 1 to 01). But when I press OK to save the changes, the disc number immediately reverts back to its original variable.
The whole reason I am trying to solve the problem above is a direct result of a previous problem. I recently bought a CD disc set (Haydn's Complete Symphonies) which contains 33 discs. When uploading them to my iTunes, everything was going fine until I reached disc 10 (i.e., the discs were all in the right order in my iTunes library, 1-9). When I hit disc 10, I expected it to show up right after 9 but it instead arrived right in front of 1. I now realize that this must be due to some shortcoming in the iTunes code (it thinks 10 is the next number in the sequence after 1, i.e., 1, 10, 11, 12, or something). I tried another disc (11), and it sure enough it appeared right after 10 (right behind disc 2).
I thought I could solve the sorting issue by putting a 0 in front of the disc numbers (01, 02, 03, etc) in order to get iTunes to recognize the correct sorting sequence. This, however, only created another problem, which is first problem I outlined above: I can't edit the disc information in order to make the vital change.
Could this be due to permissions settings? Is it just iTunes being glitchy? Am I missing something really obvious?
I am running Windows 7, 64 bit and have iTunes version 11.0.5.5 installed.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm having this problem too. It does not seem to be a permissions issue. I have found so far that restarting iTunes will allow me to edit a song I have previously been unable to edit.
This is happening with iTunes 9.0.1 (9) I can't say for sure that it wasn't happening under 9.0 - but I didn't notice it then.
I find that songs are uneditable after they have been downloaded to iTunes. Not all songs, just some, on an unpredictable basis. I don't know if there are other older songs with the same problem, or whether it's just new downloads that are being affected.
I've also noticed that it's impossible to delete one of these songs from a playlist.
So - in summary : Download an album ... 2 or 3 songs on the album will be impossible to edit (song info) and impossible to delete from a playlist ... restarting iTunes allows them to be edited ...
It's a really odd one.

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:

Join Multi-disc Audiobooks

Hello
How do I get multi disc audiobooks (that are already imported) to show up in itunes 11 as one book as opposed to multiple books (ie book had 10 CDs now I have 10 books). It is a hassle to sort through the books and also hard to figure out on my iphone which book is next. I have tried setting it as a compliation but that didn't do anything.

I think I just figured it out. For anyone else who had this same question this is what I did:
Selected all of the books.
Get Info
Put the book's title in the album and the grouping box.
Go to the options tab and select that it is part of a compliation.
I'll start listening to one of the audiobooks that I did this for tomorrow. Hopefully I didn't mess it up.

Sorting of Multi-Disc Audiobooks not corretly - iTunes 11

Hello all,
After i upgraded to iTunes 11, my audiobooks are not sorted correctly now (Like it was before the update).
Before it was sorted like:
Disk01 Track01
Disk01 Track02
Disk01 Track03
Disk02 Track01
Disk02 Track02
Disk02 Track03
Disk03 Track01
Disk03 Track02
Disk03 Track03
Now its sorted like that:
Disk01 Track01
Disk02 Track01
Disk03 Track01
Disk01 Track02
Disk02 Track02
Disk03 Track02
Disk01 Track03
Disk02 Track03
Disk03 Track03
But i cann't change the track number. I have about 400 Audiobooks with Multiple-Disks and Tracks.
If i click on "List", the Sorting is correct.
If i change one Audiobook to "Music", the sorting is correct. But that is not a solution, because i have more than 200 Music CDs there.
Furthermore, I want iTunes 11 to sort the Audiobooks by the Author. This makes much more Sense!
what i mean e.g.: All audiobooks of J.R.R. Tolkien should be sorted by "J" and not like it is now, by the name of the novel.
I want the "Audiobooks" to be sorted by the same way as they would be (and are) sorted in "Music".
I spent so many days to get it sorted perfectly in iTunes 10. And now its all gone.
I would appreciate it very much if someone could help me.
Best regards,
Chris

Apple devices have always sorted audiobooks on the name field, instead of the disc number and track number values. This has normally made it tricky to listen to non-iTunes sourced audiobooks. It looks like iTunes 11 has now taken on the same rules. See Audiobooks on iPods for some possible workarounds.
Took me some time to "see" your problem because my books still order sensibly in iTunes. I routinely fix the track numbers so that multi-disc albums/audiobooks have consecutive track numbers. For audiobooks I recycle the disc numbers as series numbers for books that are part of a series. Together with suitable sort names I get the series listed together, in the right order, with the tracks of each book in the right order, in iTunes and on my iPods.

TouchSmart tx2-1370us Recovery Disc Set Failure

I am posting on behalf of my sister. Here is her story:
Her TouchSmart tx2-1370us notebook's screen broke a while back. It was under warranty from where she bought it from so it was sent off to be repaired. When it came back the screen was fixed but there was a note stating they had lost her Windows 7. The computer loaded and ran perfectly fine but it had the 'this is not a genuine copy of windows' pop-up. She claims she was unable to read the product key sticker under the computer good enough to get it to accept anything she entered. When she called the store, they told her HP would be able to help recover it. HP sold her recovery discs that were supposed to restore the computer. It is a 3-disc set, 2 labeled System Recovery DVD Windows 7 Home Premium and 1 supplemental CD labeled Application & Driver Recovery CD. The CDs were ran multiple times always coming up as unsuccessful after the first 2 CDs. I won't get into her customer support experience but she claims she spoke on the phone with HP 6 times over the course of a week and nothing they had to say or offer helped. Always unsuccessful recovery message. She gave up, almost crying at this point, and I said I'd try.
After a little searching I found a patch on HP's web site which would supposedly fix the recovery discs issue. The patch was installed correctly, green checkmark and all, and all 3 CDs ran through successfully. The computer rebooted and the HP Software Installation screen ran for a while before another restart then the usual recovery unsuccessful message. I tried it plenty of times with the same result everytime. I saved the log from the last go at it and will post it below. It appears the BIOS states Vista as the OS but she bought the computer pre-loaded with Windows 7. Could there be something in that fact causing an issue?
Someone suggested to reset the BIOS to factory defaults but that didn't work either.
When saving the log to USB I could see all the files, there's 3 drives listed SDV(C Local Disk(D & BOOT(X
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Lets take a chance it is for W7
go here and download the correct version of W7 (home or pro, they don't have a starter edition), bit version 32 or 64, and language, it will be a very large iso file, once downloaded, burn it to a DVD+R blank disc as an Image, this can be done on a Windows 7 PC, by right clicking on the iso file and select "open with" > "windows disc image burner"
http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-from-digital-river/
This will make a regular windows 7 install disc you can use to get Windows installed, use the key to see if it will activate.
Then you will have to download drivers for your particular model from the HP site and install.

Bought a used Mac Mini and can't get past security password Seller refuses to answer emails. is there a keyboard command to take it back to factory settings or do I need to buy a Disc set and OS???

bought a used Mac Mini and can't get past security password Seller refuses to answer emails. is there a keyboard command to take it back to factory settings or do I need to buy a Disc set and OS???

You can bypass the password and wipe the drive and return to the original facory installation if the seller included the orginal install DVDs with the Mac mini. If not you will need a retail version of Mac OS X. To boot from the Install DVD restart the mini, immediately slip in the DVD and press and hold the C key.

Problem installing multi-disc software with USB Superdrive

I'm trying to install a large virtual instrument library for music production (Komplete 5). On a brand new Macbook Pro Retina, using the USB Superdrive for installation. Typically with these installers, once it's finished with one disc, it asks you to insert the next DVD in the sequence to continue installation. The problem I've run into with the Superdrive is that it won't allow me to eject the disc, giving me an error message that the disc is "in use by the installer." This never occured on other Macs with an internal optical drive. I can't find any way to force eject the disc in order to move on with the installation. I'm stuck until I can find a workaround. Any suggestions?

The Disk Utility repair disk can't be run on the boot disk from the boot disk. You must boot into another hard drive and run Disk Utility from it on your boot drive. Or you can try booting into the Recovery HD that Mt. Lion creates. There you can run Disk Utility. I'm not sure if you can repair disk with this method but it's worth a try. I've only used it to reinstall the system on my iMac. Apple - OS X Recovery restores your Mac with a few clicks.
Another possibility is to boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode. During startup it will run some of the repair routines that disk utility does. That may be sufficient. Reboot and verify the disk again with DU.

Multi-Dimensional Sets in a hierarchy

Hi
I'm trying to create a set hierarchy which contains multi-dimensional sets. When adding the multi-dimensional set as a sub-ordinate in the hierarchy I receive the error <Set Name> invalid characteristic for Input Field HKONT.
The requirement is that on a report in BI we need to limit rows on a report to specific GL accounts and then specific transaction types (BEWAR) within those GL accounts. We have around 20 reports that have the same format but the GL accounts and Transaction Types on each row are different - hence we wanted to use sets to maintain the GL accounts and transaction types for each row.
So I've created several sets which are single sets and it all works fine. But when I create a multidimensional set (with Account and Transaction Type) it works fine. But when I attempt to add that as a subordinate set (ie to create the row in the report hierarchy) I get this message.
The Set that contains the rows can't be a multidimensional set as I can't add multi-dimensional sets to multi-dimensional sets.
Anyone come across this or know of a way around it ? or perhaps a different approach.
Thanks

Hi
I guess the problem is because, in a multi dimensional set, you have more than one char i.e. HKONT and BEWAR... In your report row, have you included both of these chars or just one?
Try to include both the chars and then use a multi dimensional set in the row...
The idea of multi dimensional set is that no char in it should repeat... When you are adding this multi set to a BASIC SET or SINGLE SET, you are bound to get this error in GS01
