Need help: playing songs in order, strangewindow message, upgrading I-Tunes

I have 2 situations I hope someone can help me with:
1: PLAYING SONGS IN ORDER; WINDOW MESSAGE
I have CDs of music that when I load them onto my pc laptop the song names don’t come up—each song lists as “track 01” “track 02” etc.
When I try to play the album thru I-Tunes on my laptop, the songs won’t play in order. i.e. ALL the “track 02”s will play before going to “track 03,” then ALL the “track 03”s will play, etc. So I made a playlist of each CD.
Now when I try to play the Playlist, I get a window message that says, “The song “Track 01” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?” I can choose ‘yes’ or ‘cancel.’ YES takes me to folder selections. I find the song and click on it and then it plays.
There must be an easier way. I don’t want to search for each song one at a time in order to play an entire CD in order.
2: UPGRADE
I need to upgrade. I have I-TUNES 7.0.2. I went online to apple.com and couldn’t find any upgrade option, so I clicked on “download I-tunes”. I got a window that says “download complete.” But how do I tell if it’s really installed? Where do I go on my computer to see what version number it shows?
Any help is appreciated,
Carolyn in Las Vegas

1. You have done something that has confused iTunes about the location of the files in its library. Without knowing what happened, it's hard to make a specific recommendation, but if you moved your files around manually, move them back, and then, if you want to change the location, do it only by setting it in iTunes preferences and then using Consolidate Library.

Need help joining songs to replay in order!!

I listen to classical music which is always split into separate pieces, is there any way that I can join multiple songs so they will play in order even in shuffle? If I can't do that are there any other suggestions what I can do?

Hey Zhskqqe,
One way to always play a set of songs in a certain order would be to set iTunes to shuffle albums or grouplings. See this article -
iTunes 12 for Mac: Play songs
If the songs are from a CD (not from the iTunes store or another source) you can join all tracks from one CD into a single track. See this article -

Problem in playing songs in order - First Generation shuffle

I've been having a problem over the past few months, when trying to play my songs in order on my ipod shuffle (first generation). When I do, it suddenly stops in a song and freezes (also flashes green on and off). I switch it off and restart it, but the same problem occurs. I've tried the 5 R's and lost count the amount of times I've had to restore it.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem could be?
Sal, Scotland

This was not the first site I encounered in my first two hours of searching . . . the other sites said that I could do this and that but did not provide the links to actual instructions.
When connected .. the Shuffle appeared as an icon on the desktop, and two itunes windows were launched.
I could not disconnect in a manner that satisfied the MAC even after ejecting from all three places. However, after connecting and disconnecting about 20 times, setting up an Apple ID 3 or 4 times, and randomly clicking various parts of the itunes windows for a few hours, I finally was able to delete and reload songs and actually have the Shuffle play more than two. I can now forward to more than one song at a time.
Hopefully, my instructions above will assist future Shuffle users or at least make than feel better in their random quest for useability. BTW - I did find a teeny tiny manual with lots of redundancies. After much squinting, I ascertained that this manual instructed me to click things that I did not have visible on the screen so it was not useful.

I DESPERATLY NEED HELP TRANSFERING SONGS FROM IPOD TO ITUNES LIBRARY

hi my computer crashed downstairs and i need help moving all my songs from my ipod to my itunes library, on the other computer...will someone please help me?

Hello Markatkis,
Make sure your not connecting it to more than one PC. A new iPOd is set to "Auto Update" by default. With this setting all you do is plug the iPOd into the PC and iTUnes automaticly opens, loads all the songs it has listed in iTunes to the iPod, and after its done, ejects the iPOd.
If you connect it to another PC tho with iTUnes on it you usually get a promtp that in short says "iPOd library linked to another PC, do you want to link to this one" if you click yes, it wipes the iPOd clean and loads only whats on that PC.
Since your new to all of this a great place for you may be the "iPod 101" site. It will show you all the bacis ropes of using your iPOd, using iTUnes, and using them both together. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/

My iPhone 4 is not playing songs in order even though shuffle is off. How do I stop this from happening?

I have the shuffle option off on my iPhone 4 but when I listen to an album it does not play the songs in order. How do I stop this from happening?

This is the control DaVBMan is talking about. Tap the shuffle control until it shows white for shuffle off.

Need help in cancelling a order

Hey, I ordered a 15" MBP yesterday morning, but have now realised that it would make much more sense to order the 17" one instead. The problem is that despite my order page stating that it will not ship for 3 days and having an estimated delivery date of two weeks from now (23rd) it will not let me cancel the order as it says they have been prepared for shipment. I ordered a slightly upgraded HD, but two weeks! I really don't want to wait for it to come and then have to send it back. Is there anything I can do?

Glad to see you're getting a new MBP... However, while you are trying to determine what you need to do to change your order, have you seen the MBP 15 and MBP 17 in person?
There is a big difference, and when I recently purchased mine, I went with the 15 as the 17 would be very bulky to handle normally.. However if you are stationary then you'll do fine.
Additionaly one other difference as you may know already is that the MBP 15 has a SD card slot, where the MBP 17 does not instead it has the express bus port for add-on devices.
I'm just trying to help, as I went for the high end MBP 15 and decided to save a few hundred by doing such... I can't complain about my decision and from having 17" PC based laptops, I like the portability factor of the 15" so much more.
Hope that kind of helps, but if your set you will need to call apple to corect..

Wrt54g i need help playing c&c online it keeps losing connection

i need help bad with getting command and conquer generals to play online because i never had a problem before with connection prior to getting the router but now i can't stay on for more then 30 seconds and i am really frustrated, can u please help me?

Hi…Every game works on different TCP or UDP ports. You need to forward these ports on your router and reduce the MTU to 1365. So get the port no required by your game, forward the port for the IP address of your PC.

6th gen ipod won't play songs in order?

My 6th gen ipod, The little square one,
I have playlists, but it does not play the songs in order - so why even have a playlist? Did something in the updates to iTunes change this? Plus there are no settings either in my iTunes which is up to date on my iMac (Maverick 7.1.1) which allow my to assk for this when syncing nor is there an option on sad little gen 6th. (I soooo regret I wore out the battery on my gen 5 nano).
Anyone?
Thanks!

Hey esmeglass!
Is it possible that you simply have shuffle turned on while playing your music? Try using the user guide for your iPod, found below, to determine if shuffle is turned on and how to turn it off:

Need Help in Knowing Exactly What is Installed & Upgrading RAM & HD

Hello-
I am not very tech savvy, so I am calling for some help here. I might be getting in over my head, but I think with some help here and from Apple articles, I should be able to correctly upgrade to the max RAM and the best quality and largets HD. I have a brand new cMBP. I wanted 16 GB (or need 16 Gb of RAM) but that configuration was not possible. I understand one needs to install RAM that is compatible with the existing RAM, which I do not know how to figue that out too. I need to figure out how much RAM is currently installed, and either take the existing RAM out and install sticks of the best RAM I can get for this cMBP that equals 16 GB of RAM. I would like some recommendations on where to go to get the RAM, how to know what type I need (I know there are several numbers/letters that identify the RAM), and I think I found the link that shows me how to change the RAM. I do not have the proper screwdrivers so I will need to get those, but my main concern is to know what to do with the existing RAM. I know that I did order the least amount of RAM I could get since I knew I needed 16 GB so I was gong to upgrade. I did read the RAM has to be evenly divided but I am not sure exactly what that means since I do not know how many slots it has. I stayed with the least expensive HD because I knew I was going to try and upgrade to the largest SSD (or Flash Drive-not sure of the difference). If it is difficult to swap out the existing HD 5200rpm for the best SSD, I have not been able to find that Apple article, but recommendations on a website to get these drives for the MBP I just received would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Remember I am not savvy in this type of stuff so I need as much detail explanation as one can give me.

As for the 'old' RAM - I have a drawer full of old sticks, carefully labeled. Because RAM is so cheap just now, you're not able to get much for it: maybe hand it down to a friend in need?
Yes, the 512GB is one of the largest consumer SSDs made. OWC has a 980GB, but it's only for 3Gbps speeds and we have 6Gbps speeds on our MacBook Pros. For some good information and a 'buyer's guide' to SSDs, see Sean's SSD Buyers Guide & Information Thread. One of the drives that he recommends is the Crucial m4 series.
I do use my Thunderbolt port - I've an Apple Thunderbolt Display and just recently (this month) added a LaCie 2Big Thunderbolt 4TB disk (it's actually 2 disks - it comes formatted as RAID 0 but I 'unraided' it and now have two 2TB disks). Lightening fast - I use one drive as a Time Machine backup and the other as my 'working' drive for any and all projects that I'm currently working on.
Because my Denon reciever has AirPlay, I don't have external speakers for my computer any longer. My first pair were some Harman Kardon Soundsticks and they were good, but I bought the Bose Companion (it was at III then - I believe that they're at 5 now) speakers in 2006 and found them to be unsurpassed. They work great with Apple products. The Bose are expensive, but worth it.
Try Amazon for both the Crucial RAM and SSD - they have a slight discount, anyway, from what you'd pay ordering directly from Crucial.
Good luck,
Clinton

Need help playing a song previously purchased in 2006

I cannot play a song that I purchased in 2006. On a new computer, it doesn't even show up inthe purchased option. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

Hey KAZ410,
Let's check to see what account purchased this song:
Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1920
1. Open iTunes
2. Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
3. Choose File > Get Info.
4. Click the Summary tab.
The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
Now that we know what account purchased this item, try logging into the iTunes Store with that account. If successful, proceed to your purchased page to download the song again (you'll have to delete the original before downloading again, but make sure it is in the purchase history first).
Thanks,
Matt M.

Not playing songs in order (premium and not on shuffle)

Hye guys, long time lurker first time questioner.I have spotify on my iPhone 6 64 gig running iOS 8.4 and spotify version 3.6.0.923. In the last few days I've noticed that spotify doesn't always play albums that are in 'Your music' inthe correct order. I am a premium member and shuffle is turned off on the device so it would usually just play from the song I've selected until the ned of the album. The application is not doing this currently. It may play several songs in the correct orderbut after a few songs it'll just start playing in the wrong order. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Hello there!
What you are experiencing might be a bug.
Have you tried closing the app and its process and then reopening it?
Does restarting your phone help?
If nothing works, maybe a clean reinstallation will do it:
On the home screen, tap and hold the Spotify icon until it shakes.
Tap the X symbol on the icon.
Hold the Home and Power buttons down together until the Apple logo appears.
Open the App Store then search for and install the Spotify app.
Keep in mind that a clean reinstall will delete all data stored by Spotify, so you'll need to sync your offline music again.
If nothing fixes the issue, then maybe the next Spotify update fixes it.
Hope this helps! ♫
