Songs displaying out of order in new iTunes
Despite proper track numbers on all the songs, tracks still display out of order when viewing them. Here is an album where the proper track numbers are showing but each song is in a completely random order. Note that shuffle is not enabled.
I've attempted to fix this by adjusting settings in the View menu and clicking and dragging. Nothing helps.
Any tips would be very much appriciated.
Hey Kilima,
THANK YOU! The problem was that some of the songs were labeled as "Album 1 of 1" while other songs had this information completely missing. This didn't affect the track listings in the old iTunes, but got distorted when I upgraded.
Thanks again!
Dann

How do I reorder songs in a playlist in the new itunes??? I can no longer just click and drag. When I click, it doesn't move!!!! Need help ASAP- trying to prepare for an aerobics class and need songs in a specific order!
Vera,
Use View > View Options, and set 'Sort By" to "Manual Order."
Then you will be able to drag-n-drop songs up and down the list. -
All the songs are out of order on my albums. Does anyone know why?
On almost every album on my iPad the songs are out of order. Yesterday I deleted 6 of the albums, synced to iTunes and reinstalled them. When I opened them on the iPad they were in the correct order. I closed the iPad and ran an errand, came back and open the iPad again only to see all the songs once again out of order. I can't figure out what the problem is. I don't have this problem on my iPhone or either of my iPods, only on the iPad. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Have you tried creating a playlist for your album, then
select the playlist in iTunes.
right-click the playlist name -> select +copy to play order+. -> sync. -
I've placed my Five Finger Death Punch album on my iPod, but the songs are out of order. Song 4 and 9 are showing as 1 and 2 on the iPod, while on my iTunes it's all correct.
The albums are alphabetical, but the songs aren't. Otherwise the list would be completely screwed up.
Song 4 is titled "The Bleeding," while song 9 is "Death Before Dishonor." Song 1 on the album is "Ashes." So it's not a case of alphabetizing.
I had purchased the singles for The Bleeding and Detha/Dishonor before buying the full album, but I had iTunes delete the duplicate songs when I added the full album to my library. -
Burn playlist and songs mix out of order
I burn my playlist and when it is finished the songs shuffle out of order on the burned CD. I have removed the songs and made a new playlist,then burned a new copy and this did not work.
I'm not 100% sure but I think you create your play order manually then select the playlist, right click it (or use ctrl+click) & select "Copy to play order".
I think when you burn that playlist it should obey that order, it has been so long since I made a mix CD that I'm not certain, good luck. -

When I try to play music through iTunes, the songs play out of order. It jumps around to random songs instead of playing a full album or artist in the order the songs appear on the screen. I do not have "shuffle" turned on. I don't know if this has anything to do with the little checkboxes next to the song name, but some are checked and others aren't, and I can't figure out how to control that either. Some tips would be much appreciated. Thanks.
So I'm going to have to go into my playlists and enter in track numbers? WEAK! I've made playlists of audio recordings, etc., that were not on CD, so they have no track numbers, then just plugged in some graphics as "album art."
All because apple didn't forsee that some people would have made their own playlists and given it an "album art" graphic? That's a rather obvious thing, isn't it? -
HT1329 How can I get the songs on my iPod onto my new iTunes library?
I have an iPod that was synced to another iTunes library on another PC. The PC died and I replaced it with a MacBook Pro but it keeps saying the iPod is synced w/ another iTunes library. How can I get the songs on my iPod on the new iTunes library?
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.

How do I shuffle songs in a genre in the new iTunes on an iPhone or iPad?
How do I shuffle songs in a genre in the new iTunes on an iPhone or iPad?
I was at the Apple store today and one of their "geniuses" confirmed it is not possible to shuffle songs in one specific genre. He had not noticed this himself, and after trying to do it on my iPod, he tried it on his iPhone, and that did not work either. He told me the best he could do was tell his boss. This of course, does not help much, but we can always hope they fix the issue sometime soon.
