My question is Itunes related.  How do you prevent a playlist saved in Itunes from alphabetizing the song list created. I wanted to keep the original order, and somehow everything was alphabetized without requesting it.

My question is Itunes related.  How do you prevent a playlist saved in Itunes from automatically alphabetizing the song list.   I had a specific order of songs that I wanted, and Itunes somehow automatically alphabetized them.  Is there a way to turn that feature off, and/or get them back to the original order?   I also noticed that once a playlist has been created, I cannot manually changed the order of the songs from my desktop..  Any suggestions?

That's just the sort order. It's displaying the media alphabetically because you have clicked on the NAME column near the top of the iTunes window.
Click on the little triangle above the column of numbers (usually on the far left side of the main iTunes window) and the media will sort in the order in which you added each item to the playlist.
You can easily reorder songs within a playlist: Click and HOLD on the song you wish to move, then drag-and-drop it wherever you like.

    how to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

    Within Aperture you have Images, which are constructed on-the-fly from two files (the Master and the Version).  You get an image-format file _only_ when you export an Image.  You select the file name (usually a scheme) when you create an image-format file (that is, when you export).  Look under "Aperture→Presets→File Naming" for built-in Presets.  You can, of course, create your own or customize any provided.
    The Preset is applied to only the file newly created by your "export" command.  It is not applied to the Image in Aperture (unless you rename your Versions or your Masters).

  • How do you Retireve Pages files saved in itunes

    I have been saving files from pages to iTunes. When I go to the iTunes app on the ipad, i am not bale to retieve those files. Please help!

    Pages files will never appear in the iTunes app on your iPad. That app is for purchasing from the iTunes Store. If you want to view Pages files on your iPad, you need the Pages for iOS app. Then you look in the app. This presumes of course that you have synched those documents to your iPad from your computer.

  • I need to add my new ipod to itunes. it will only show the old dead ipod. i want to keep the music, but get rid of the info of the old dead ipod and add my new one and its info. please help.

    Hello,
    I need to add my new ipod to itunes.
    itunes will only show the old, dead ipod that my niece had given me secondhand.
    I just got a new one and want to put in it's serial number, etc. but keep the music.
    Please help, I've been going around in circles online for hours. I don't want to merely change the name of the old ipod, which is the only info I can find.
    Thanks.

    "In addition, I would like to get all of the music files that are already on my ipod on to my new computer"
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod to iTunes.
    Once the music from your iPod is in your new iTunes library, you can go about adding new music as you did previously.

  • How do you prevent HP Deskjet IA 4615 printer from using colour to print black!!!!?​???

    I just recently bought this great All-in-One HP DeskJet IA 4615 as I've needed all the other functions besides printing for a while now. Imagine my horror when trying to specifically save on using colour when printing a newsletter to about 900 clients by putting elements of colour into a predominately black design...and then wondering why all the colours are going down so fast...then discovering that the printer is USING THE COLOURS TO PRINT BLACK!!!!
    I have looked all over for switching this off...but haven't been able to find the answer?
    Is this standard?
    In that case I'm EXTREMELY disappointed to find that HP uses this tactic to get you to use ALL the colour cartridges!!!
    Please, if anyone has the answer for me...let me know!!!!
    This is NOT a great way to find out you can't save ink no matter what you do! I hope one can...redeem my love for HP, PLEASE!

    Hey MarleMac,
    What is the Operating System of the computer you are using the Deskjet Ink Advantage 4615 with?
    If you are using a Windows PC, then open the Devices and Printers folder.   Right click on the printer and select Printing Preferences.  If you want to print a black and white document using black ink only, click the Advanced button. From the Print in Grayscale drop-down menu select Black Ink Only, then click the OK button.

  • How do I stop the 'Open as a web page' feature and just download the document directly? I want to keep the document's original title, not have it listed as "attachment".

    When I click on an email attachment, it downloads as "attachment" and not the original title. This just started happening recently, so I'm guessing it's some sort of setting.

    I have to say I don't understand the reference. By "its own mail server", do you mean a server running Outlook Exchange? If so, that doesn't apply to me, or I would imagine, many users of Outlook for Mac.
    As you are running a Mac, I wouldn't assume that you would be running a version of Outlook written for a "Windows PC." So, yes, none of that applies to you.

  • When I click the Safari app to open it, I keep getting this popup and I cannot close it without force quitting. I also cannot use Safari at all because this keeps poping up what do I do?

    I will get this popup and when I try to quit it, it will show another popup called MacKeeper.  I always get this ad however I have never downloaded. I am unable to use Safari because of this issue. I have tried restarting and shutting down my computer, but when I try and reopen Safari, I will get the same message and Mackeeper popup. Please help.    It's like these popup ads have taken over my Safari.  I have run multiple scans on my computer and it says no malware detected and no viruses.                                               

    Launch Safari with the Shift key held down. If that doesn’t work, disconnect your computer from the Internet and try again.
    Those popups are being opened directly from the web and not by any malware installed on the machine.

  • In iTunes 11 how can I view a playlist in a separate (new) window?

    In iTunes 11 how can I view a playlist in a separate (new) window? I always did this by double-clicking the playlist. That doesn't work now!

    found it - at least this is part of a solution -
    http://www.betalogue.com/2012/12/04/itunes-11-edit-playlist-to-work-around-the-s ingle-window-limitation/
    while the discussion in the link (here in this reply) does not tell us how to open a new window - it does tell us how to view any particular playlist and the entire library list at the same time in a split-window view - but there still does not appear to be a way to open two playlists at the same time.?

  • In iTunes 11 how do you get Genius recommendations from the iTunes store

    In iTunes 11 how do you get Genius recommendations from the iTunes store. It would appear that I can only get Genius recommendations from my own library. This was easy in iTunes 10 and enabled me to find lots of good artists I had never heard of.

    I have this same question and all I have found on it is this,
    http://ipod.about.com/od/advanceditunesuse/ss/genius_store.htm
    Basically it seams they got rid of the whole side bar concept of things to make it all more streamline, understandable but I know atleast for myself that genius sugestion for any song is how I found new artists and songs I never knew existed.
    If you go to the Album the go to "In the Store" it will give you a recomendation for that album... not exaclty what you might be looking for but atleast its something, if anyone else has a way to get genius sugestions for individual songs I am all ears and would love to hear about it.

  • How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes?

    How do you disable iPod Auto Update with iTunes? I know there is a key press combo that will do it but I forget which keys. Anyone?
    Intel Piii   Windows XP Pro  

    Keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
    Another Easier Alternative:
    While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys in Windows (CMD + Option keys on a Mac). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes. The iPod will then appear in the iTunes source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto-sync and then you can release the keys. This action may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    You can then ‘right-click‘ on the iPod icon in iTunes’ source column and select iPod Options, then check the box that says “Manually manage songs and playlists”. You can now manage your library without losing any songs on the iPod.
    Note: If connecting to a different computer than the ‘iPod’s Home Computer’, iTunes will ask you if you want to update your iPod and give you an opportunity to opt out. This will not happen if you connect to the ‘Home’ computer – iTunes will auto-sync without warning!. Best to know the difference.

  • Itunes match  how do you to select multiple songs or do you click each one

    In ITunes match  how do you to select multiple songs to download to pc or do you have to click each one.

    First make sure you have the current version of iTunes, which is actually 10.5.1.  I had to manually download it from apples website, for some reason, it wouldnt auto-update.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Once that is complete, go to the iTunes store. In the Quick Links secion to the right, you should see iTunes Match. This will prompt you to activate your subscription to iTunes match.  After that it should ask you to add your computer and once youve done that, it should begin the process of scanning your library and adding it to the cloud
    Alternatively, once you activate your subscription, you can also go to the Store dropdown menu in iTunes and select Turn On iTunes Match.
