Ordering of Singles and Albums

Sometimes I buy a single from iTunes and then when the album comes out I purchase the rest of the songs from the album as its cheaper than just buying the whole album again.
But I find I have a problem ordered the songs, even if I goto the single I bought, replace the single name with the album name, change the artwork, and the track numbers and cd numbers it still wont come up in the correct order.
For example bought Wish I was a punk rocker when it was a single, now purchased the other songs on the album, change the single to track 2 of 10 and the album name, but it comes up at the end of the album list and not as track 2.

Check if the album in addition has an info like "Disc 1 of 1" or similar - if some kind of info is missing add it to the single track.

I pre ordered a single and an album and the single won't show as part of the album. Why?

I downloaded the new Walk the Moon single a few weeks ago and pre-ordered the new album. The album was released yesterday, but the single (track 3) does not appear as part of the album. When I check purchased items, it just shows the song as purchased and there isn't a way to download it separately so that it is part of the album. Do I need to log into iTunes on my PC and rename the single so that it falls in line where it should on the album? Shouldn't it just do this automatically? Otherwise, it's a bit of a pain to pre-order if you have to constantly go in and reconfigure albums and singles.

Hello wengdiesel,
I would be eager to download and listen to the available songs on my pre-ordered album as well. I found a couple of resources that might help with downloading this purchase.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted. You can use the steps in this article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If the songs do not download after following the steps in that article, I recommend trying to download the songs from the list of past purchases. As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the album, you will not be charged again. You can find the steps to do this in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If you are still not able to download the album, I recommend reporting this issue to the iTunes Store:

Need help showing singles and albums after searching for them In I Tunes 11 Win 7

Just got I tunes 11 iusing Win 7 and when I add songs and search for them in the upper right hand corner the album or the song appears. NowI need to view the single so I can add info. But I cannot figure out where to click to jump to that single shown in the main display or the album shown in the main display window. Can somebody please help me? What to you click on? Thanks in advance. Also where are your playlists?

I wanted to bring closure to this unanswered thread. I came to realize that I put way too much into that post (information overload) and couldn't possibly expect for anyone to take on such a compilation of driver issues all at once. I later put each issue into separate threads and then got the help I needed. I learned how to find out what the Hardware ID was for each one and got the appropriate software driver to match.
Kudos go to Jerry_Lippey who helped me out in so many ways plus gave me the link to a page where I learned how do do this myself.
That can be seen here: How to identify an unknown device (e.g. Wireless LAN module)?
And, you can look up Hardware ID's here: PCI Vendor and Device Lists
I hope this helps someone in the future who is the same boat that I was once in.

A single and Complete My Album problems

A few days ago I bought a single and then today decided to buy the rest of the album. When I would go into the iTunes songs list it showed that the single as a separate album. I then updated the single to have the same album name and cover art as the other songs. That seemed to have worked in the "Songs" view, but in the "Albums" view the songs are listed out of order and clicking "Play iTunes LP" skips the single that I bought before. (I hope this makes sense). Does anyone know of a way to officially make that single part of the album?
thanks,
Charles

I had this problem twice the first time I've tried to upgrade to iTunes Plus. In the first case it was because I forgot to set my Payment Mode... Oooops... No reason were provided for the second case and the third time it works...
So make sure that your Payment Mode is set.
You can also select the iTunes "Store->Check for Available downloads..." menu item, sometimes the items are available.
You can also try to update one item at a time (if you haven't try it yet).
If nothing works, I guess you'll have to send a mail to iTunes Support ([email protected])... Good luck!

Albums out of order in iTunes and on iPod

Despite what I try to do, sometimes iTunes 7 orders an album completely wrong. iTunes puts my album in this order: track 3,4,1,11,14 (those are the ones I have for the album). Track 4 I purchased through the iTunes Store as a single, and Track 1 and 11 I purchased as part of the album. But it seems that in putting track 4 in the album, iTunes believes that means that Track 1 follows it!
This did happen occasionally (with the same album) in the previous version of iTunes, but it was always correct on my iPod, and now it follows the incorrect order in my library.

This has hit me now, and it's something to do with version 7.0
Having installed 7 yesterday, and straightened out the compilation album andaudio playback bugs , I noticed that some of my older albums didn't have track x of y, just track x.
I thought I'd sort it out by doing a mass Get Info on all tracks from each such album; /however/, when I do this, it re-orders the tracks (apparently randomly), and will not allow me to change the order at all.
Wiping track numbers, wiping tracks themselves, nothing works
This is phenomenally annoying. Anyone got any answers
P.S. I've just found that /any/ info change can re-order an album - I just changed the genre on an album and it randomised the track order

Display artists in alphabetical order and albums in chronological order.

I have my iTunes library set to display artists in alphabetical order and albums in chronological order. This is the sorting option preferred by every person I've ever spoken to about it. The touble is nobody I've ever spoken to can tell me how to get my device (4S64, 5.1.1) to follow suit. iTunes on my phone insists on listing albums alphabetically. Since I (we) already know all the letters of the alphabet and in which order they occur this kind of sorting is of no benefit. Somebody please put me (us) out of our misery and reveal whichever secret soft switch must be flipped to make this happen. Also, if possible, I would rather do the alphabetical "Artist" sorting by last name rather than first but I have not seen an option for that either.
Thank you in advance.

There is no secret soft switch for Album by Artist by Year on iOS.
If you want your artists sorted by last name first then edit the corresponding sort values.

I'm trying to place an order for 3 iPhoto Albums, but the system won't take the billing address. I'm in Costa Rica and will send the albums to an address in Miami. Can't find any support live chat for billing issues.

You need to use a credit card with a billing address in the same country as the delivery address. Since there's no Apple Print Store for Costa Rica I assume you're using the United States print store. Therefore you'll need a credit card with a billing address in the US.

Projects and Albums out of order

It used to be Projects and Albums would line up in alphabetical order when created in Aperture Libraries. It hasbn't been happening for me in recent updates, and I can't find a way to set this in preferences. Even worse, some times albums won't let me change their order — they snap into different order than I drag them in. Don't know what's happening.

When you drag any project or album, Aperture switches to Manual arrangement of all.
Click on the gear icon at the top right of the Library list Sidebar, choose Keep Projects and Albums arranged by, and choose alphabetic if that is what you want. You can't modify by dragging, though.

I downloaded iOS 7 and now in my music library all my songs are not in the order of the original albums. How do I get them back into order?

Aperture-sorted event and album images out of order

I am syncing events and albums from Aperture to my iPad through iTunes. In iOS iPhoto the images within these events and albums have a seemingly random sort order, rendering the application useless to me. The sort order is fine in the iOS Photos application, so I am thinking it is a problem with iOS iPhoto. Anyone have a fix for this? I thought it would surely be fixed in the new update, but it was not. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iOS iPhoto, have unsynced and resynced albums, etcetera.
I know this pertains to old threads, but couldn't find one that was coherent. Hopefully this one is.

I have no fix to offer as I am affected by it too. I posted one of the original threads on this and have used the Apple report a problem system to report it too. I am amazed this issue wasn't addressed in the update. It makes iPhoto on the iPad unusable for me.
I've just submitted repeat feedback on the problem to http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto_ios.html

How to get same order of appearance of photos in Iphoto album and album shown to IOS devices after sharing?

How to get same order of appearance of photos in Iphoto album and album shown to IOS devices after sharing?

Hello Leonie!
I use Iphoto sharing with my family on their ios devises. And it works.
The only problem is that, now, I try to organize the photos in a meaningful way (not chronologically) before Iphoto Sharing (Icloud)
But on the ios devices the photos is arranged chronologically.
Is there a solution?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

HT1711 If I bought a song as a single, and then buy the whole album, will I have the single twice?

If you buy a track from an album as opposed to a single (so you are buying the actual track from off the album), then you might be able to do 'complete my album' : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1849

Anyone used rOes for ordering prints and albums?

Have any of you used rOes from Soft Works Systems?
http://www.softworkssystems.com/
Granted, they only support sRGB JPGs and the interface could use a bit more refinement, but dang it works great!
I just signed up with Bay Photo and they use rOes. Very impressive! Quick turn around, cheap shipping... I am excited!
http://www.bayphoto.com/Videos/roestutorial/roestutorial.html
Not bashing on Aperture for their lack of a better ordering interface and albums options, just curious if any pros here have used this...

5 points for ya
Looking over the tutorials from Bay Photo, it looks like you can save local:
