Sorting albums by year doesn't work properly in new iTunes 11.
Sorting albums by year doesn't work properly in new iTunes 11.
See the screenshots below.
There's a kind of albums. Double CD in one set. Queen "The Works" 1984, for example.
First CD is the original release and the second one is bonus CD for the original album's reissue in 2011.
iTunes 10 took year info from track 1 of CD1 for "sort album by year" function.
But new iTunes 11 takes the highest value of year in the album's track list.
Same things with additional bonus tracks for the album's reissues.
See the screenshot of Madonna "Like a Virgin" 1984 album.
So my collection is in a huge mess after last update to iTunes 11.
It's a big problem. And must be solved to the next update.
I noticed this too, and I think it gets even more complicated when you think about the difference between how you want Re-releases to be ordered: based upon the intial release year (like you have described above), and Compilations or Greatest Hits: where you want them to be sorted by when the albums were actually released. iTunes 11 seems to just grab the date of the most recently released song on an album. This worked fine for 2/3 of my Compilation albums, because they just happened to be released the same year as the latest song on each album.
Compilation example (released: 2003, latest song on album: 1969):
This is what I submitted to Apple as feedback:
This issue is actually aimed at iTunes 11, but 10.6.3 is the most recent version number I could select in the drop-down menu.
As with normal albums, iTunes 11 puts a release year next to "Various Artists" in Albums > Expanded View (and also in the Songs and Genre Tabs). However, iTunes seems to produce this number by looking for the last released song on the album. This has worked fine for 2/3 of my compilations, but the third one is a 60s compilation released in 2003. It displays "1969" next to "Various Artists" and there are no tags available in Get Info to change this. This also happens to greatest hits collections.
When selecting View > View Options > "Artist" then "Year" in Album view, and View > View Options > "Year" in Artist and Genre view, the above issue causes compilations, greatest hits collections, and re-releases (Although users may want re-releases to be listed in order of original release) to be sorted in the wrong order.
Considering iTunes 11 has added this feature (in previous iTunes versions, "Year" would only appear next to individual tracks), it is a shame an "Album Year" or "Sort Album Year" hasn't been added to the Get Info options.
As is, the only solution I can think of is to change all track years to the release year of the album.
I imagine this might be a bit of an edge case, and not something the majority of iTunes users would care about, but then again, I could imagine a fair number of musicphiles wanting control over this metadata.

Sorting table by date doesn't work properly
what am I doing wrong?
I've made a table with 5 columns and many rows, with one column being the date.
I need to sort the entire table by date, but it doesn't seem to be very accurate - sorted items appear out of date order
suggestions?
peteHello
I know that.
But if you receive a foreign document (ie not a Pages one) embedding dates stored as mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy, your app will not recognize them as dates.
I get this behavior every day.
I repeat, not with iWork '09 documents because in these ones, dates are stored as numbers (number of seconds since 01/01/2001) and displayed matching your system settings.
If you receive a CSV or a TSV file, your machine will not recognize the embedded dates because most of these formats's users ignore what is the ISO format.
Back to the date storage.
At first, only column B was filled. The string "Yvan" was just used to help me to reach this storage area in the index.xml file. Here is a screenshot of this area.
Small arrows are pointing the numbers describing the dates.
In the completed table, in column C I copied the values stored in the index.
The cell D2 contain the formula :
=-DATEDIF(B,$B$3,"D")
I was forced to use the reverse of others because DATEDIF refuse a start date greater than an end one.
In D3, the formula is :
=DATEDIF($B$3,B,"D")
then apply fill down
They calculate the count of days.
In E2, the formula is :
=D*24*60*60
apply fill down
It calculate the number of seconds corresponding to the number of days and of course, it matches what is stored in the index.xml file.
Given that, opening in every location an iWork '9 document created everywhere, we will get correct dates whichever format is used for creation or for reading.
Theoretically, it would work the same if you import a M…Soft document (they use also numbers to store dates).
I can't check for iWork '08 documents because I don't have old foreign ones in good health. Those which I kept are corrupted ones in which I look from time to time trying to find where is the wrongdoer.
When the source file is a CSV or a TSV one, the apps have no way to decide which is the format used.
Of course, if the third component has four digits, it's a year.
If a first two digits component is greater than 12, it's a day
If a second two digits component is greater than 12, it's a day
but that's all.
No way to know for sure what is 5/6/2010
As you use the ISO format, for you it will be a string
For an US user, it will be 6 may 2010
For a French user, it will be 5 juin 2010
If the value is the well known 31/12/1943
for you and for US users, it will be a string
Happily, for me, it's 31 décembre 1943.
As you often wrote, it would be easier if everybody was using the ISO format but I'm not sure that the grand children of my grand son will use it.

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.
The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether. -

Microsoft Outlook doesn't work properly since I updated to Mavericks?!
Hello.. so yeah ever since I updated to Mavericks, Outlook from Microsoft Office 2011 doesn's work properly. It won't pop up with a window to either reply, forward or write a new e-mail and it gets annoying because I need it for work. So it's totally useless. I don't want to be deleting and installing MO again because my friend did it for me and I don't know all the registration details to prove it's legit or something and I don't want stuff deleted. Sooo.... can anyone help? I don't know how to get it to work, so frustrating!
What Apple wants from his customers?
1) I've paid my iPhone 4S 900 euros;
2) I'm used to buy music and apps from iTunes store;
3) my iCloud space costs 32 euros per year
and, like me, millions of customers around the world!
and Apple does not allow me (and many others) to use the internet traffic for which I (we) pay my (our) provider, that's not among those that directly sell iPhone??? Is this your idea of a really unblocked device as you falsely declsre from the pages of Apple online store ?!? Shame on you!
If I had know that the 7.1 led to this I'd never updated my iPhone. No one (Apple and the sites that live because of her) told about this issue in their enthusiastic comments on the new, updated version, of iOS. Shame on you!
This would claim a class action against such a behaviour!
I'm disgusted
thank you

My iPhone 4S speaker suddently doesn't work properly from one week ago? How I can do? 4s is still under warranty?
Have you tried any troubleshooting steps, like resetting you iPhone, for example? Or restoring it?
If not by all means do so because your problem could be caused by software glitches that could be solved resetting or restoring.
Warranty is for one year from date of purchase and two years if you bought Apple Care at the time of purchase. If your iPhone has a hardware issue within warranty, it would be replaced by Apple. If it is already out of warranty, you might be eligible for an out of warranty replacement where you pay a much lower amount but this varies according to the country and currency, so it is better to check with Apple or with an authorized reseller.
You could check your warranty status here:

Sorry length of e-mail.vn7571g_user,
Sorry to hear that you are not having the best possible experience with your new notebook. I'd like to try and address a few of your concerns that you have listed and see if there are some things we can resolve for you.
1. Wifi doesn't work properly:
I see that you have posted in a couple other threads (1st, 2nd) regarding wireless issues with this notebook. We can gladly check this unit at the repair depot for you if you are not keen on changing the card out, PM me the following information and I will see what I can do for you:
SNID or serial number
Contact name
Contact number
Email address
Shipping address
Purchase date
2. Wifi doesn't work after switching on and off 'Airplane mode'
If you have already tried to install/update the drivers, it could be a Windows issue. You can attempt a refresh to see if that helps resolve it.
3. Trackpad response is terrible
This notebook uses a precision touchpad possibly, but since it uses Synaptics drivers you have a couple options:
You can change the way that the touchpad works.
It says Windows 7, but you can see if you have this option in the touchpad settings and see if it helps you out.
4. Speakers jar
Do you have the same issue without the Dolby turned on?
5. Num-Lock is 'Off' after every sleep session
Here is a Microsoft article that discusses this feature. You can follow the steps that they list if you would like.
6. Keyboard-backlight setting is 'On' after every sleep session
The backlit keyboard is working as designed. Here is an article with some FAQ about the backlit keyboard to help customers understand its functionality a bit more.
A couple final thoughts:
Did the issue(s) you are having occur before or after Windows updates, sometime a bad installation of an update can cause all sorts of things to happen.
Worst case, you can always try to restore to factory defaults and test all these things before applying updates or installing any applications or programs. -
ITunes genius mix doesn't work properly
Hi everybody,
On my late 2006 iMac with iTunes10 Genius Mix doesn't work properly.
After having activated Genius iTunes generates a number of mixes with different music styles.
When I scroll over the squares the play sign shows up, but only work for 1 of the 9 mixes when I click the play sign.
Clicking on the other play signs in the other squares does not do anything.
Does anybody know what is wrong here?
Thanks!
PTI now know what is causing the problem, at least for the singer in question, but I don't know how to overcome it. I now know that the problem started when I downloaded an MP3 album from Amazon. This album contains 25 songs sung by 25 singers, INCLUDING Annette Hanshaw,THE SINGER I'M INTERESTED IN AT THE MOMENT. So, when I do an iTunes' search for Annette Hanshaw, I get her, but I also get all the other singers on this album. This puzzles me. I've downloaded many entire albums, but I've never run into the unwanted linkages before. In other words, I want to keep all of the songs in the album I just downloded, but I only want Annette Hanshaw when I put her name in the SEARCH bar. Is there a way to do this?
Are all the songs in all Amazon MP3 albums linked together in this way? -
My palm m105's touch screen doesn't work properly after a sync.
I dug out my old m105, put new batteries in and start it. On first launch it auto runs the alignment tool, and after touching all the points it goes to the main screen and works fine. No problem till here.
Now, I plug it into my old computer which still has the palm software with my apps, and I run the sync operation (from the palm device sync manager, cause I lost my cradle and I'm connected via the serial cable), and it syncs fine BUT, here comes the problem, when it finishes the sync (successfully) the touch screen is all misaligned. I can't go back to the home screen or do anything useful.

What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?
QuestionWhat can I do when if my laptop CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?
AnswerNote: For help with this issue in Windows 7, please see this article.
To get your CD or DVD drive working correctly, try these suggestions in the order listed.
Reinstall the Driver
Hold the Windows key and press the 'x' key to open a menu in the lower-left. In this menu, select "Device Manager." Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives." Right-click the entry for the CD/DVD drive nested under "DVD/CD-ROM drives," then select "Uninstall." Finally, restart the computer. The computer will reinstall the drivers for the drive.
Power Cycle
Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with some hardware problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
Ensure the laptop is turned off.
Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
Unplug all wires and peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery). If the model does not have a removable battery, check your user's guide to determine if you have a pinhole reset on the bottom. If you do, press this.
Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
Reattach the battery if removed.
Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
Start the computer and test the drive
Microsoft Fix-it
Your computer may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms:
Your CD or DVD drive no longer appears in Windows
Your CD or DVD drive does not read or write and is shown as disabled
The media in your CD or DVD drive cannot be read
The media cannot be written to a CD or DVD inserted into the drive
You receive an error message about your CD or DVD drive
If any of these symptoms apply to your computer, use Microsoft Fix-it troubleshooter available here.
System Restore
Try using System Restore to restore to the most restore point from before the problem arose.
How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
System Recovery
If the System Restore doesn't solve the issue, you could try a System Reset. Resetting your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system reset will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide.
For more information on performing a recovery, see the following article:
How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video

Satellite Pro L20 doesn't work properly with USB Fast Track audio i.f.
Hello!
I have used my Fast Track USB on new Toshiba Satellite L40 and I never had problems with it. I could set low latency and I did few songs with it.
Yesterday I bought another notebook, thinking of home recording studio. It's used Toshiba Satellite Pro L20. It doesn't work properly with my interface. When I listen music on Winamp or do anything on Fruity Loops I hear loud clicks, pops, noises. They introduce samples, or they appear during playback or after a sample is stopped.
I noticed, drivers for Satellite Pro L20 are a problem. Its not supported by Toshiba anymore?! The only drivers for chipset are very old and you can download em only from Toshiba website. The chipset is ATI Xpress 200M. Its drivers are with graphic card. Recently I noticed you can download "ATI Catalyst Legacy Display Driver for Windows XP - Motherboard/IGP Drivers 9.11" and CRACK IT to make it possible to install on mobile unit such as L20. Yep its funny but its impossible to do otherwise!
things I have tried and they still not help:
# drivers replacement, original were released in 2004. I installed recent version.
# driver settings, low latency, high latency
# asio and different settings
# pluging the interface to another usb socket.
# trying what happens when I use battery and when I use adapter
# updated bios
# turned off onboard units such as wifi card, sound card
# checked IRQ list
pops still appear.
my config:
Toshiba Satellite Pro L20
Win XP Home SP3
Celeron M 1,5GHz
896Mb ram
M-Audio Fast Track USB, drivers: 6.0.2
Kind regardsThanks for answer. I still have L40 but I try to run my homerecording on L20. The L40 is now used by whole my family. It's possible to swap them but there's a problem - L20 has Norway keyboard and I'm the only person at home who doesn't often look down while typing. In Poland, we use standard ms keyboard. I'd buy special stickers, it's about only to make special chars get back to their places.
I installed Windows on this computer end set it to best performance possible.
Since I created this thread, guys from M-Audio support tried to solve my problem - nothing helped. I think potential solutions are exhausted.

Hello
I understand you are no longer able to print with the P1006 on Win8.1.
Did you uninstall the P1006 first?
If not uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
Both drivers are the same if you look at the version on the website and should still work with the Win8.1.
If you need more assistance just let me know.
