Purchased Playlist Song Order When Purchasing New Songs

I recently transferred my music (including my purchased playlist) to my new computer. Everything runs fine, but I cannot figure out how to change the preferences on my purchased playlist. Previously, when I downloaded songs via the iTunes Store, they showed up at the top of the playlist (#1). However, now, they show up as the very last song in the playlist, which I dont like. I want to see the newest purchases at the top of the playlist. I've tried clicking the arrow above the numbers, to reverse the order, which works, but then when I purchase another song, it still puts it at the bottom of the list. How do I change it so that the most recent purchases show at the top of the list?

Sort by *Date Added* and click the triangle so it's pointing down.

How do I get back the old songs that were wiped out on my Ipod, when the new songs were downloaded?

I recently had to have everything on my harddrive moved to an external harddrive by the Geek Squad. Subsequent to that, I purchased six new songs from Itunes, and downloaded them to my Ipod. When I did that, all 126 of my old songs were wiped out. However, Itunes still shows all of the old, as well as the new songs. How can I access the "older" songs so that I can then add them back to the newer songs?

Hey LiLi521,
I found a few articles that can help you out. Depending on what version of iTunes you're using, check out either:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
or for older versions:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351
You can set up your iPod for automatic or manual syncing, and depending on which option you choose the process will be different. Either route you choose, by following those directions you should be able to get both your older songs and the newly purchased ones onto your iPod.
Hope this helps,
David

Ipod shuffles song order when syncing

ive noticed ever since i downloaded the newest version of itunes (itunes 10.2.1.1) that every time i sync the ipod with my computer, it will screw up the order of the tracks of the artist i most recently listened to ONLY on my ipod. the song order remain correct on itunes. but when i sync it again without having edited anything, it will restore it to original, or even some times mess up the order further. anyone else having this problem or know a fix to it? thanks

My best guess is that you have clicked a column header so it is sorting the tracks by something other than track number.
Try clicking on the column header above the track numbers and see if that fixes it.

ITunes Music Library.xml not updating when adding new songs

I have about 150.000 music tracks on my iMac and iTunes didnt have any difficulty with it. When using the songs in DJ program Native Instruments Traktor Pro, this program checked the latest update of the iTunes Music Library.xml file and everything went ok. Whenever I changed a smart playlist or added songs, my Traktor looked at the updated .xml file and Traktor updated it's own files.
SUDDENLY, and I dont know why, this iTunes Music Library.xml file did not update anymore. Whenever I change a song or add a song, the 'update date' in my finder next to the iTunes Music Library.xml file stays the same (1 May 2010) This means my DJ software does not show the updated/added songs...
Plse help... what should I do... I am a professional DJ and I especially bought this iMac for the purpose of DJ'ing. Because of this issue, I can't use it anymore...

try if the suggestions in this thread help: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2168081&tstart=0.

How can I change the song order when burning a CD?

I'm trying to burn about 20 songs to a CD. However they are in alphabetical order in the burn folder which I don't want. I want then in the original order they were performed. How do I re-order them before burning?
A related question: eventually I will add them to iTunes and I'll want to add info such as the artist's name, album name, etc (these were recorded live by me so they're "blank" audio files). Is there a way to add this info prior to importing into iTunes so I don't have to manually add the same info to each track?
Thanks in advance!

Here's what I ended up doing:
I took the blank songs and added them one-by-one as WAV files into iTunes. Then I modified the "get info" summaries and added the artist name and album name to each. But now I had these huge WAV files... too large to burn back to my iPod. So I created a playlist in iTunes for the 20 songs and then burned them to a CD. Then I deleted the songs from iTunes, then re-imported them from the CD.
Kind of convoluted, but it worked and didn't really take THAT long. I now have the songs on my iPod with all the artist info and a backup CD with the same info and as WAV files.

Song order when browsing mp3s in media mgr

What dictates the song order? If I browse all songs in a folder, they seem to be in random order, rather than alphabetical.

If this is your computer, and you're an adult, and you don't know how the keylogger got there, then you may be the victim of a crime. I suggest you seek legal advice before doing anything else. You should assume that all personal data that has ever passed through that computer is compromised.
You can remove the keylogger by following the developer's (Spectorsoft) instructions. I don't know how to remove it.

ITunes freezes when loading new songs to iPod

I have a 60 gig video iPod. I am running the latest version of iTunes with a library of 21886 songs (73 days).
Recently, iTunes has been unable to load new songs to the iPod. It simply freezes while loading the new songs.
I tried deleting and reinstalling iTunes, but this didn't resolve the problem. (The uninstall was performed using the iTunes software, so it continued to recognize the previously existing music library upon reinstall).
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how to fix the problem?

FIrst goto control panel>add and remove and uninstall iTUnes AND quicktime there. DIsable antivirus and download/install the latest version off apple.com
It may be where your library is so big. Also try updating the ipods software witht eh ipod updater 06-28-2006

Why do my songs freeze when i switch songs?

I just updated my iPod to the new iOS 5.0.1 and when i switch songs it would freeze then the screen would turn black then load and lastly just freeze again and take me back to my lockscreen. So now i cant switch songs because then my iPod would freeze.

- Try restoring the iPod from backup
- Next try restoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You likely have a hardware problem.

Keeping the album songs order, when importing songs from different sources

Hello
I imported lots of songs into my itunes library from various sources (itunes store, CD's, and audio files converted from my vinyl records) This way, songs from a specific artist, and sometimes from a specific album, could come from different sources.
Now, I hope to arrange all the songs from a specific album to appear in the appropriate order, but I just can't find a way of doing this! The songs just appear in the way iTunes sorts them, without any relation to the original order of the album. Even more, in the iPod itself, the order changes once again with no appearant reason! (Interestingly enough, when I import all the songs of a specific album from one source, the order is kept)
I tried changing the names on the files in itunes to include serial numbers (01, 02 and so on, at the names of the songs). but then again, for some reason, no order is kept.
How can I sort the songs in the album according to the proper order? I don't want to use a special playlist for each album.
Thank you in advance for your replies
Zak.

iTunes sorts things in thew following way (based on having the correct ID3 tag info)
Album > Disc number > Track Number
if you sort things by Album
iTunes does NOT take anything from the file name unless no ID3 tag info is present in the file, then you will see the file name appear as the track name and all other fields blank. ID3 tags are the way most meta-data is handled noawadays.
Hope that helps.

Grey information displayed when a new song starts

i was using Itunes (7.0.1 i think it was) and i accidentally pressed some keys on the keyboard and since this at the start of every song a grey display of the songs artwork, name, artist, duration and rating comes up at the bottom of the screen in front of whatever i am doing. Can someone please tell me how to get rid of this. So far i have tried preplacing itunes with different and older versions (not relizing it was a preference), looked through all the shortcut to try and find out what i pressed, search through many of the support articles and gone through every menu option. Due to it disrupting my work (by distracking me and blocking my reading even just momentarily) i am close to throwing out all my itunes preferences and starting from scratch. Does anyone know what i can do to stop it.

If it doesn't relate to Growl then it is definitely Remote Buddy. I just fixed the same issue. In the preferences for RM, go to the behavior for iTunes. There should be an Options tab next to Button Mapping. Uncheck the box that says "Display information on currently playing songs." That should do it!

Why are songs erased when adding new?

I set my 5th gen iPod to manual, add a new playlist, and all old music is erased! What am I doing wrong?

Don't know. It certainly sounds like you did it right.
So you set it to manual, then applied that setting and then your music at this point was still all on the iPod? Then you added the playlist and it appears to have replaced everything on the iPod with just the playlist?

HT204406 The songs on my computer itunes playlist and my iphone playlist songs are not matching up. I do see new songs I've added on my computer playlist on my iphone playlist but the songs are not in the same order. How do I get them to match?

Playlists matching on computer and iphone? The playlists on my computer in itunes are not matching up with the "match" playlist on my iphone. New songs do show up when I add them to a playlist, but the songs are all in different order. If I edit a playlist on my computer how do I get it to match on my iphone?

Restore them to the new computer using the bakcup of the old one. If you don't have a backup of the old computer, you can re-download music purchased from the iTunes store. If they were imported from CD's, etc. You will either have to re-rip them or purchase third party software to extract them from the phone. The iPhone is not a backup or data transfer device.

Songs I have purchased on iTunes are not showing up in my Purchased playlist but are in my iTunes library

This has only been happening since updating my iPhone 5 to the new IOS 7.0.2 software and it has duplicated a new purchased playlist on my iTunes library. I have tried syncing the iPhone to my computer but still no luck they are not showing up in my purchased playlist.
In saying that, some songs I purchase do show up in the playlist but others don't or only half of an album shows even though I have downloaded the whole thing. It is driving me crazy!! Has anyone else got this problem and what did they do to sort it?
Thanks!

Hi samfergs,
I'm not sure how the Purchased Playlist decides what to put into it, but if you want to see all of your purchased items, then you need to go to the iTunes Store, and on the right side, under Quick Links, click on Purchased.
Then, click on the Music (or whatever other purchased items tab you want to look at). If you are looking at Music, click on All Songs, and then on "All" or "Not on this Computer" (depending on what you want to see).
Cheers,
GB
