Music order in iTunes 9 Library

Older versions of iTunes automatically omitted "the", "a" and "an" (also "el", "la", "los" and "las" in Spanish) in the order fields when importing music to the Library, so "The Receiving End of Sirens", for example, would appear not under "T" but under "R". However, since I upgraded to iTunes 9 this is not working anymore. There's any way to bring this feature back? I haven't been able to find it in the options, nor in this support page, and it would really help, as it is really tedious to do it manually (not the artists or the albums, as I have no problem in editing many tracks at once, but every single track title starting by "the" or "a").
Thank you!

Make sure the Time Capsule is ready and mounted before launching iTunes.
You can add it (the Time Capsule) to your Login items in System prefs -> Accounts.

  • My mac gets slow when I play music from my iTunes library

    Hi, aproximately six months ago I noticed that everytime I play music from my iTunes library that its stored in my 27" iMac's hard drive, the computer gets slow, the images start to flicker, the animatios on the dock and the one when u minimize or maximaze the windows, also flicker. As soon as I close iTunes the computer works fine again. When I play music from a CD this doesn't happen.
    I've taken the iMac to two service providers along theese 6 months and neighther have been able to fix the issue. What they have diagnozed is an issue with the hard drive which has been changed 4 times already.
    What could be the issue?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • My iPhone automatically shuffles all the music in my iTunes library.

    Hi, I have a problme with my iPhone (OS 6.0.1) music app.
    It automatically shuffles all the musics in my iTunes library no matter what I do. In addition, when I push the "forward skip" bottun, the music app will jump to other song, not the next song, as it likes.  This means that my music app cannot play all the albums in my ITunes Library in proper order.
    I want to listen to musics in proper order.  Is there any solution to fix this problem?  Other devices are working properly. 

    Yes.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer on different ways to copy music from your iPod to your PC.

    I would suggest the manual method over using 3rd party software, but the choice is entirely yours.

  • Can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system?  Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?

    can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system?  Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?

    Sorry, not sure if I understand what you are asking.
    Are you thinking of moving your iTunes / Media Folder from your Mac to the Time Capsule? 
    If you do this...when...not if...the Time Capsule drive has a problem....you lose everything because you have no backup for the iTunes library.
    A much safer plan would be to add an external hard drive to your computer and move the iTunes library there.
    Then, if you are using Time Machine for backups, it will back up both your Mac and the hard drive.  Now you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.
    In order to stream music from the iTunes library, iTunes must always be open on your computer.
    Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?
    Yes, if your TV has an HDMI input and you have an Apple TV.

  • I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help

    I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help. Is this possible. In former versions of itunes this was posible. I can't find the solution is iTunes 11

    Perhaps those apps require a newer version of iOS than is compatible with your iPod.

  • I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

    I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Can i get music from my itunes library (created with different computer) onto wife's ipod library (created using different computer)? Hope this makes sense

    iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

  • My apple tv 2 says I can't stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac without settng up iTunes Match. I don't want to set up iTunes match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to A

I don't want to set up and pay for iTunes Match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to Aple TV

    Ditto.
    You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
    Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

  • I have just over 100gig of music in my iTunes library plus what ever else I add in the future. Because of the amount I had to save my music library on an external drive as my laptop did not have the memory to hold it all. I want to back up my iTunes libra

    I have just over 100gig of music in my iTunes library plus what ever else I add in the future. Because of the amount I had to save my music library on an external drive as my laptop did not have the memory to hold it all. I want to back up my iTunes library and save it on a different external drive, one I store all my back ups on. Is this possible? If so how can I do it? 

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

  • Can I transfer music from my iTunes library to Google Playstore?

    I's like to transfer music from my iTunes library on the laptop across to a Motorola G mobile phone - possibly via Google Playstore. Is this possible?

    I think AAC will get you a little better quality for
    the same file size of an Mp3. If I recall, iTunes
    saves the original file and makes a copy with the
    converted version. But to be safe, just make a backup
    copy of the original file
    And I take it that it makes no difference what format the file is in, it will still upload to the iPod and be playable there. I guess the default is set at AAC in iTunes and I never knew where/how to change it.
    Thanks so much for your help!

  • How do I transfer music from my itunes library  to my wife's on the same computer?

    How do I transfer music from my itunes library to my wife's on the same computer? I am trying to put the music that is on my phone on her phone.

    Has she transferred iTunes content to her iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer or from a different iTunes library on the same computer?
    If not, you transfer music to her iPhone from your iTunes library in the same way the music was transferred to your iPhone. If she has any iTunes content on her iPhone that was transferred from a different iTunes library, all iTunes content on her iPhone will be erased first.

  • Can I export music from my iTunes library to another application?

    I've been trying to figure out how to export music from my iTunes library to either Movie Maker or Roxio My DVD Creator. If I browse to my iTunes library, it doesn't show any music within the artist folders. I take it the only way I could use the music is to burn a CD and then open it using "my computer" and copying it to a folder on my PC and then browse to it from the other applications?
