Out of Order TV Shows

Here's an interesting problem that's really more of an annoyance than a problem.
For some reason on my 80gig iPod when I go into the tv shows I have such as Jericho it'll list it as normal, meaning that it starts with the Pilot and then lists each subsequent episode in the order that they aired on tv.
Then I'll go into another tv show and when I come back to the Jericho playlist they're in reverse order meaning that the Season finale is the first one and the pilot is the last one on the list.
My question is is this a commonn occourance and what can I do to correct it? Like I said this is really more of an annoyance than a problem but any suggestions on how to correct this is much welcome.

I have the same problem with Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica. It lists the episodes from newest to oldest except for the first 4 episodes of the season which are all out of order. It even lists the dates they were listed as correct but it won't put them in the correct order. I sent an email to apple about it and they said I may need to contact technical support and pay for help. I figured I'd just ignore it since Battlestar Galactica won't be on iTunes next season since it's an NBC/Universal show and NBC is pulling the content. Which ***** because I have a credit of 8 tv show episodes and I was saving them for Season 4 of Galactica.

  • Out of Order TV Shows in iPod Classic

  • New messages in inbox show up out of order.

    My server is NOES2 with GW 7.0.4 Server. GW Client is 7.0.4.
    I have one user that whenever new emails come into their inbox the emails show up at the bottom of their que instead of the top of the que. If the user then switches to their sent items and then back to their inbox the email that was out of order then shows up in its proper place. This only happens to one user and it does not matter which computer the user logs on to.

    I have seen this happen if a user has a "filter" on the mailbox for some reason.
    Also, perhaps check to see what the display options are for the mailbox. Is it
    just "details"? Or perhaps something like "Checklist"?

  • Video and audio not sync when i play all forms of video. from music videos, to tv shows. but they play perfect on my iPod. and tv shows display out of order on iPod, but in correct order on iTunes/computer. I even ran a virus check just to make sure.

    audio and video do not syncronize.  all forms of videos. music videos to tv shows.  what do i need to do the syncronize them again
    they are in sync on iPod, but not on computer.
    another issue that might be from the same cause is, the order of episodes of the tv shows i have downloaded,   they appear in order on computer, but on iPod they show out of order.
    any tips on how to fix this would very much help.
    thank you.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    An old version of iTunes will cause this and mess up the videos on your iPod. Always make sure you always use an up-to-date version of iTunes.
    Make sure all the software on your computer is up to date...
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    Updating iPod's Software
    You will then need to restore the iPod and then let iTunes update your iPod and put your music, videos, etc. back onto your iPod...
    Restore the iPod

  • Imported rolls from CDs show up out of order in Library!

    I import my photos that I take on film and have had scanned to CDs. I just imported new rolls from CDs and they show up in my Library several rolls earlier from the ones that I imported yesterday. I had issues then w/ rolls being out of order as well. I have tried moving rolls by "batch changing" the date and or time. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I am left with several rolls out of order. It is a mess. I can't seem to figure out how to control the order within my Library or change once imported.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Know what I should do to solve? Prevent problems in the future? This didn't use to be an issue!
    Using iPhoto 5.03 (haven't updated to .04 because I don't import from camera.)

    by album. I've tried all the variations of "album" too, by clicking on it a few times.
    But I just discovered that if I don't have the track number listed in the Info section, that it gets out of order. I've manually changed a few and it has worked. Just wish I got it before it went into the system.

  • TS1314 why do my photos show up on my iPad out of order?

    why do my photos show up on my iPad out of order? I have them organized (by numerical sequence in their file name) and they synced up on my iPad in a random order...

    On his iPad go to Settings>iCloud>Contacts>Off. When prompted to to keep the contacts on the device or delete them, choose the delete option and all of your contacts will be removed from his iPad.
    Make sure that he is no longer signed into your Apple ID in the iCloud settings and the general settings.

  • How can I get the songs in my iPod Nano to sort in numerical order?....they show up tht way on iTunes, but on the Nano, they're out of order.

    they show up that way on iTunes when connected to the Nano, (in numerical order) but on the Nano, they're out of order.  The shake to shuttle is off.

    I dragged and dropped it from my desktop to my Nano (through iTunes) and it all loaded in order...if I take it from iTunes, it syncs everything, not just one playlist....even though I choose only one playlist...
    ??? So you are manually managing your iPod's contents. i.e you drag and drop content onto your Nano from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.
    What did you drag and drop?

  • Release Date not showing - episodes out of order?

    Hi everyone!
    I recently submitted a podcast for work and it was accepted yesterday. During testing, the order of the episodes were right based on the date they were released. However, checking the live version, the released column information is blank and the episodes are all out of order.
    From what I understand, it's supposed to get that from the XML. For each item, we have: <pubDate>02 April 2014</pubDate> that did show up when we tested it directly.
    Any thoughts? Thank you!

    Sorry, I guess I should have posted that information, haha.

  • Slideshows show photos out of order

    Hi there
    I have an Apple TV and looking at my slideshows, my photos are displayed out of order. I renamed all the files so they are in the sequence I want, however that made no difference.
    Seems as though the Apple TV is showing the files in order of the time the shots were taking which is not what I want given the re-naming process I went through.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Mike

    AppleTV shows you your pictures in whatever order AppleTV decides, and you WILL like it. ha ha.
    Seriously, I've tried and failed here. I have no clue how the thing decides what order to show pictures, I don't think it's necessarily in the order I shot them in.. it's more likely the order they get copied over by iTunes. So maybe uploading your photos 1 at a time will enforce a specific order.
    Since there's no way for Apple to monetize your personal photos, I don't think they are really interested in developing that part of the software as well as they do for the movie rental and itunes store portions. I've had this device for almost 2 years now and pretty much only the parts that they use to sell me stuff have been improved in that time.
    Personally I'm about ready to convert my iTV into a doorstop.

  • ITunes TV Shows are out of order in iPhone tab.

    I've been importing a TV Show Season from DVD into iTunes so I can watch the TV show on my iPhone at the gym. Everything works well, the TV shows are imported, I enter the meta-data for each show, title, episode #, etc.... When I look at my TV shows in the TV Shows tab in the side bar, they are all listed in order by episode number. Yet when I go to the iPhone tab in the sidebar, and the select the TV Shows tab to try and sync, all of the episodes are random and in no particular order at all. Maybe I'm just being OCD about it, but I want to watch the seasons in order and now I have no way to do this? Anyone have any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Just discovered your post, I made a similar post with the same problem, only concerning Podcasts and not TV Shows. I don't think you're being OCD about it at all. It's only logical to expect that if you can put the songs of a music album in a certain order and listen to them that way, that you should be able to do the same with a TV show or Podcast series.
    Check to make sure all of the following are set:
    Info tab: Track number
    Video tab: Show, Season Number, Episode ID, Episode Number
    The TV shows on my iPod are in the correct order, but the Podcasts are not. Unexpectedly, I think it may be the Track number from the info tab that keeps them in order. I just removed the track number from an episode and it went out of order.

  • All my photos are importing out of order. For example, if I have images 1,2,3, and 4.., the order they show up in is 2,1,4,3. What could cause this and any ideas how I fix it?

    One thing, don;t think of them as being imported in any one particular order.
    The order of the images is completely fluid, you can change it anytime you want to suit your needs at that particular moment.
    As Léonie showed you select the order you want to see the images in by selecting the item you want to sort on in the pull-down.
    The only time fluid sort order can be a problem is when you export groups of images. If you put the images into a particular order in Aperture when you export them and view them in the Finder the order they are in may very well be different. In this case you could give names to the images that include a sequence number or index.
    Then when they are viewd in the Finder they will be in them same order they were in in Aperture.

  • ITunes 9 sorting Album by Artist shows multi-cd albums out of order now

    Hello,
    This has worked before in every version of iTunes I have used. iTunes 9 now lists my multi-cd albums' tracks out of order. For instance, it lists them as track 1 of disc 1, then track 1 of disc 2, then track 2 of disc 2.
    It used to list them correctly as Disc 1 of 2, track 1-x and then disc 2 of 2, track 1-x, in that order. Why did they break a perfectly good thing?
    I use 'list view' and sort by 'Album by Artist', anything else my my huge library just slows it to a crawl.

    I'm in the same boat. I always use Album by Artist.
    My work around for now is to add the Album Artist field to the library list and sort on that field. It seems to work ok.
    I'm able to edit my post ok here.
    I see that my solution only works if I've put in the album artist. Other wise, they go to the obttom of the list as "Unknown". This shines a spotlight where I haven't put in Album Artist so I will now work on cleaning that up.
    I hope they can fix this quickly.

  • Photos syncing from folder to iPhone all out of order?

    I have 2 folders synced to my iPhone 4 photo app.
    They were previous camera rolls before I set up my phone as a new device. They are all named in order and taken in order, for example IMG_001.jpg was my first picture in my old camera roll. IMG_822.jpg was the last photo taken before I did the backup, and is the last in the folder.
    The folder I am syncing from on my windows computer displays all of the pictures by filename (and because of that, by date) but when syncing with iTunes they end up on the phone ALL out of order. I can't find any rhyme or reason to how they are displaying. Most of the earlier photos show up at the beginning like they should, and the last at the bottom of the scroll appear to be mostly right, but then it's completely random from there.
    I've tried unsyncing them, removing them, and then adding them back again and nothing seems to work. I've even tried renaming the IMG_xxx numbers to different things and they still appear to sync in the same random order.
    Am I doing something wrong, or is this a huge bug for someone with OCD like me? lol

    This is highly annoying.
    I have probably 15-20 Smart Albums in iPhoto 8.1.2 in OS10.6.4 that are syncing to iOS4.0
    On the old software, my Smart Albums for photos would show up AS the smart albums I created. Now they show up in the iPhone one giant mess called "Photo Library".
    I can view photos broken up under "Events" on the iPhone by specific dates, but the dates don't tell me what the name of the event was, and some Smart Albums had multiple dates grouped together in one Smart Album and I don't really want them broken out separately by date. I want them organized how I organized them...
    In short, I want my photos grouped the way I have explicitly grouped them. It used to work, it doesn't now.
    Since iOS4.0 I am also getting sync errors all the time in iTunes. "iPhone cannot be synced because the required file cannot be found." WHICH FILE??? tell me and I will delete it...
    I've rebuilt the entire database in iPhoto (took 4 hours). I've scanned iTunes and removed all broken links and duplicate files. I've scanned the hard drive with the disk tool. I've emptied the iPhone and reinstalled iOS4 on it 5 times. I've turned syncing off for all non-essential applications and stuff I don't actually sync like voice memos. Same problem.
    I think I want my iOS 3 back. I don't really like multitasking anyway, always having to turn off applications for the one or two times in a million where task switching if helpful...
    Ugh....

  • Is there a way to reorganize out-of-order tracks in iTunes 11?

    Hello all--
    In iTunes 10, if an album appeared with the track numbers out of order, I could just click on the track number tab within each individual album and the tracks would be resorted by track number. In iTunes 11, I can't find a way to do the same thing. For example, I imported an album and now it starts out with track 4, then goes to 15, etc., but can't get them to sort sequentially. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I tried looking at one out-of-order album in the "songs" view, based on a similar question, but every time I try to search for the album under "songs" iTunes shows the result under "albums".

    here is a link to macosxhints.com that tells you how to output all of your feed URLs to a terminal window. from there you can cut and paste them into your new feed reader of choice...
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080319094830396
    and if you are in the marked for a new reader may i suggest David Watanabe's excellent NewsFire. he had just recently made it totally free as a gift to the macintosh community.
    best of luck.

  • Chapter marker thumbnails getting duplicated, out of order (FCPX 10.1.4)

    Group - I use FCPX to compile home movies of my kids, the pets, etc. I use footage from a Canon HD camcorder and an iPhone 6+. I import them into FCPX, trim, transition, maybe throw in some music, and usually put in 40 or so stills (JPEGS) at the end for a slide show.
    The project I'm working on now is around 2.5h long after editing and transitions. I put chapter markers at the beginning of each scene, and then drag the pin to set a custom chapter marker thumbnail.
    The issue - no matter what I do, I can't seem to get ALL of the thumbnails sorted properly. Meaning, I get one or two out of order, and numerous ones duplicate. I've rebooted, trashed prefs (opt-com start), copied all the clips into a new project and re-rendered, and even deleted them all and manually applied them all again. There are roughly 36 or 37 chapters in this project. I tend to get a different result each time, but with the same general problem.
    Sadly, iMovie worked pretty flawlessly for me, but I thought I'd enjoy the added capabilities of FCPX. The rendering time for this movie on a one year old iMac with 24GB RAM is around 7 hours at 720p, so as you can imagine, it's not been a fun project. I've attached a screenshot of the issue on my AppleTV for reference. I've seen a lot of history with this problem, though many threads proclaimed it 'solved'. I'd disagree. Anyone have any thoughts on what I am doing wrong, or is this just more stellar quality control from Apple?
    PS - Are there any recommended alternatives to FCPX? I'm noticing I use fewer and fewer Apple-branded apps, I'm starting to see a pattern here.... :^(

    Discs are not my top-priority here, but I remember this rules (for iDVD):
    The Rules of Chapter Markers:
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the start or end of the timeline.
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within a transition.
    *Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the end of a transition.
    *Make sure you do not have the "Share selected Clips" option checked when preparing to share to iDVD
    maybe, these rules were not by limitations of software, but by 'standard'?
