Playlists are all in reverse order

i've got a 32gb touch, 2nd gen, running xp, latest itunes... blah blah
for some odd reason. all my playlists are in the reverse order...is there anything i can do, besides restoring my ipod?

okay there's some sort of error with handling playlists...if you select songs in itunes, and then select "create new playlist from selection", for some reason it shows up in the reverse order on the ipod...
sorting won't make a difference.... what i did was manually drag and drop songs to playlists.... restoring the ipod didnt work.... sigh... please iron out these bugs apple!

  • HT1751 This was extremely helpful, however, all the songs I had unchecked in my library are now checked on on my new MacBook.  My playlists are all there, but I do I really need to uncheck the ~3,000 - 4,000 songs I had previously unchecked?

    My original library exists on my old computer, so I could still transfer it.   Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated - thank you!

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Since I upgraded to IOS5, my Smart Playlists are in a random order. Since I use it for listening to Talking Books this makes it useless. How can I control the order of a Smart Playlist?

    It may be best to recreate the folder and the smart playlists from scratch.

  • Include movies from playlists are all empty on my iPhone. Where did they go?

    Include movies from playlists are all empty on my iPhone. i use this option. i like this option, why then is it not working now.
    I have the usual playlists for Music. rock, disco, classic and some techno etc.
    These are all full with the sounds i chose to be within these folder on my computer and also on my iPhone,
    As expected they are all within my Music app on my iPhone. they are after all music.
    As unexpected the 5 or 6 Movie playlist folders were also there,
    Here i could access my tutorial movies for varoius subjects. yes from the music app.
    Okay
    so now we have divided it all up since ios6
    Music in music  and loads of options, pretty pretty pretty
    Podcasts in podcasts and loads of options, pretty pretty pretty
    Videos... ugly ugly ugly, now all thrown in together in one big mess. no lists nothing. Store button is ther and thats it.??????
    video1 for photoshop is now with video1 for all the other subjects and i no longer have the ability to group my films.
    i can see my movie playlist folders in the music app but all these flders are now showing nothing inside.
    i would think this to be logicaly true but then the folders should not show either..... these should, now show in my videos app,
    But they do not.
    whats going on?
    am i missing something
    or has Apple just missed something?
    anyone know?

    P.S. Include music videos IS checked within the iTunes music synch tab.

  • When I try to insert several pdf files into an initial one, they consistently are attached in reverse order, no matter how I instruct the program. How do I correct this?

    I am working with Acrobat X Pro. I open a pdf, then try to insert several files, in a specific order, into the first one. No matter whether I instruct it to place the files after the first, last or name a page number, the files are inserted in reverse order after the initial file. How do I overcome this problem?

    Thanks Bill !! for providing the simple answer - this has saved me much work.  I always assumed that Acrobat would either a) sort the inserted files alphanumerically or b) use the sort order of the OS's file selector.  The c) answer of inserting the files in the reverse order of the OS file selector (since Acrobat will reverse that order) eluded me until now.  
    It's clearly a bug in the program, I'm using Acrobat X Pro, but had the exact same problem with Acrobat 7 - never occurred to me to sort the file listing in reverse alphanumeric order in order to have Acrobat insert them in correct alphanumeric order.
    Thank!

  • After turning on iTunes Match, songs in playlist are in the wrong order across all devices.

    So in iTunes, my client had several playslists, all with songs in a specific manual order.  None of them are smart playlists.
    After iTunes Match was activated, the song order seems to have changed in every playlist and on one iPhone where the same iTunes Match account was also enabled on.
    We know they are in a different order as an iPod touch that does NOT have iTunes Match enabled yet still has the original order.
    Just wondering what the best way to fix this would be.  Should we manually drag the songs to the right order or is there a simpler way to revert to how they were ? Also would manually moving the update the order across all iTunes Match devices ?

    This worked although it was very clumsy (we had almost 3,000 files that had to be deleted and redownloaded. I could not figure out a way to sort all of the 'exclamation points' together so it took an hour or so to scan through the entire library list and delete each file individually and/or in small groups.) The download was very straight forward. In my experience (with iTunes match turned on,) we did NOT loose our playcounts.
    Going through all those files I noticed several common themes that may have triggered the problem: 1) multiple artists, 2) special characters in the song title, artist and/or album name - particularly umlauts (we have quite a few german songs in our library.) 3) very long title, artist and/or album names.
    I hope that someone from Apple is aware of these issues and working on them....

  • Smart playlists are not in alphabetical order on iOS 5.1 devices

    One of the most frustrating things for me about iTunes Match is the fact that the smart playlists in iTunes (version 10.6) do not sync in alphabetical order on my iPad/iPhone running iOS 5.1.
    Even though I click on the Name column and the songs in iTunes appear in alphabetical order, the songs appear in a random order on the iPad. I spent hours trying to fix this by turning iTunes Match off on my iPad, turning it on etc all to no avail. I created new smart playlists thinking that maybe the original smart playlists were corrupted in some way by the upgrade to the latest version of iTunes. This did not work either.
    Then, I had an idea. I created a new playlist (not a smart one), called it Test Alpha, copied the songs from the smart playlist into it and waited for my iPad to update.
    Voila! The songs in this new, non-smart playlist are in alphabetical order.
    I do hope that this problem is fixed. It is a pain to do this for the 15 odd smart playlist I have. Hope this helps someone else.

    No. And the problem persists in iOS 6 with the latest version of iTunes.
    For three weeks, I had been talking on and off with a techie in Singapore. She got me to run all these test, send screen shots etc..
    In the end, I was told that the engineers said 'that is how it's supposed to be'. Well, thank you very much. No help at all. No further discussion about the issue ensued.
    Apple's arrogance will soon be the cause of its share price collapsing. My solution? I have not renewed my subscription to iTunes Match.

  • My itunes has lost most of its music, playlists are all mixed up. There are songs and artists that do not exist anymore, yet, if i go to the store and search, it shows as purchased. Anybody can help?

    so i am asking, where is the music i purchased??? all my playlists have song that do nt belong to them, and one playlist literally had no songs!! my itunes on tablet or computer shows the same. i hope  am not the only one, maybe some of the apple servers are down?

    Hello sk8rmom4ever
    Check to see if, in iTunes Preferences, Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases is check to show your purchases. If you recently updated iTunes, you may need to revert to a previous version of your iTunes Library.

  • My playlists are completely out of order...

    How come something as simple as a playlist messes up?
    I want the songs in my playlists to be in the SAME order as they are on iTunes. Is that too much to ask? How can I fix that problem?
    BTW: It's a brand new iPod Touch and no, shuffle is not on.
    Thanks in advance

  • When viewing a pdf document in Firefox, the pages are displayed in reverse order.

    If I save file onto PC and open that file, pages are in normal order

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that the document property was not updated when you published a minor version to a major version.
    It is by design, the Quick Parts don't get synchronized with
    SharePoint major version when it used in Office Web Apps.
    As a workaround, you can
    show the Version column within the Word document using the other methods:
    Use SharePoint Designer to copy the Version to a separate column
    Using the Labels feature of SharePoint
    Event handler to copy the version to a separate field

  • In ios7, custom labels for phone contacts are all out of order. How can I get them back in alphabetical order?

    See above question.

    I had tried that several times with no luck.  Late last night I was finally able to get through  to the Verizon technical support who then called in Apple technical support.  It took 1 1/2 hours for them to figure it out and guide me through a fix.  So here's the deal .......... I use Yahoo mail and had left the "contacts" button in the on position.  Apparently Yahoo likes to go into your contacts and gather information and can leave it in shambles.  My advice is, go to settings, then mail, contacts, calendars.  Select any and all of your email accounts and go in and turn off their access to your information.  Leave it on for Icloud but none of the others.

  • Since installing iOS 5.0 my smart playlists are scrambled

    Since installing iOS 5.0 on iPhone my itunes playlists are all out of order, for example "top rated" now seems to play in reverse so that my least requested songs play first. Is there any way to correct this either manualy or automaticly?

    Yes, after my own experience and a quick Google search this seems to be a common occurance.
    I have filed the following bug report at this address: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    Please feel free to file one too!
    Subject: Order of songs/podcasts in playlist on iPhone not the same as iTunes.
    Hello,
    I make use of different methods of sorting playlists in iTunes (e.g. by rating, by date added, etc).
    After upgrading to iOS 5 on an iPhone 4, and on my new iPhone 4S, the order of tracks is not preserved in the Music app. 
    Two examples:
    1. A playlist of podcasts that should be sorted by rating descending, on the iPhone they are sorted by rating ascending.
    2. A playlist of music that should be sorted by Album by Artist/Year they are sorted by Date Added.
    Operating system: Mac OS 10.7.2"

  • Songs are in reverse order on iPad, but correct on iTunes

    I have a number of Smart Playlists that look fine when displayed on iTunes, but when iTunes copies them to my iPad Air, the list of albums shows up in the correct order but the songs in each album are sorted in reverse order.
    So for example, I have a Smart Playlist defined where "Artist is Jean Michel Jarre".  That playlist is sorted by Year in list view and by Year-then-Title in Grid view.
    When I look at that same Playlist on my iPad Air, all of his albums appear in chronological order (which I expect), but the songs on each album are listed last-to-first.  So Oxygene (his first album) shows up before Equinoxe (his second album), but the list of songs on the Oxygene album are shown as: Part VI, Part V, Part IV, Part III, Part II, Part I.  All of the albums on the list are in the right order, but the list of songs on each album appears backwards in each one.
    This is just one example of a bug that manifests itself a lot on my iPad.  I have a lot of Smart Playlists that misbehave just like this.  I deal with it by creating not-smart playlists that are exact copies of the Smart Playlists -- but honestly, why offer Smart Playlists if they're not going to display correctly?  If they're this buggy, why am I using them at all?
    Does anybody know of a workaround for this bug?  Does anybody know whether Apple is aware of it, and if they have any plans to fix it?  Please? Maybe? Someday?

    I am now home from work, and over the past hour I have tried every combination of up-arrows, down-arrows, Copy To Play Order, sorting on the leftmost column, sorting on the Year column, etc. etc. that I could think of.  I believe I have followed your recommendations slavishly and to the letter.
    My Jean Michel Jarre Smart Playlist is sorted with the triangle on the leftmost column, and in iTunes, the playlist order is correct.  I have sync'd my iTunes library to the iPad several times, I have unchecked that playlist, performed the sync again to remove it from the iPad entirely, checked it again and performed the sync again -- I have also tried closing the Music app on the iPad and restarting it -- I've also tried deliberately sorting the tracks in iTunes in reverse order to see if the iPad does anything any differently, including a "Copy to Play Order" for good luck -- and every combination of all of these choices results in exactly the same outcome: on the iPad, albums show up in chronological order, and tracks in each album show up in reverse order.  Nothing I do makes any difference at all.
    Here's hoping iOS 8 at least doesn't make things any worse.  Maybe if the gods are smiling, it might actually solve this problem.  I was hoping that the upgrade to iTunes 11.4 might have made a difference, but, sadly, no such luck ... which is why my hopes for salvation in iOS 8 are not high ... but that doesn't stop me from being grateful to you for trying to help.  Thank you for your time.  I do appreciate it.
