Sorting by number of tracks per artist?
Is it possible to sort my music by the number of tracks I have by artists in itunes?
So if, for example, I had 90 pink floyd tracks, 80 rem tracks and 100 beatles tracks, it would list them in this order?
The Beatles - 100
Pink Floyd - 90
REM - 80
etc.
Thank you.
Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
It can't be done with iTunes as it currently exists as it has no way of generating aggregate properties by album artist. You'd really want some form of raw SQL query interface for that type of task. I guess it could be achieved via a script if you were to prepared for it to take some time reading all the data and collating the information.

Number of albums per artist is wrong on my iPad's artist overview page
My music is all there, but on my artist overview page, it is showing artist with more albums than they have. It only seems to effect artist which have songs from more than one album.
My iPad had a more major problem so I had to take it too Apple who replaced it. When I restored the new iPad from a backup, it was running iOS 5 p, which there was no problem with. The next day, I upgraded to iOS 6 again, and the problem was back.
I have tried deleting effected music, and re-downloading from iTunes (on my iPad) with no effect. So then I deleted all the music, and synced it back own with my computer. No effect.
I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem, and if so if they managed to fix it?
I I'm also having a problem where, when I click on March 2013 on my calendar in month mode, or switch to month mode when in March 2013, it glitches and immediately takes me to the home screen. It doesn't effect any other month, or any other March, just March 2013. This problem appeared in iOS 5 about a month back (could have been there longer, just hadn't realised).
The reason I'm telling you is if it is linked in someway and if there is a easy fix for both.
Thanks in advance, Alexandros TheodorouWell, considering that Apple hasn't even acknowledged the problem yet, I wouldn't hold my breath. Don't get me wrong, I still love iTunes, but things have been getting progressively worse, not better. I’ve had more issues with this db in the last year, then I’ve had in the last decade.
I don't even use services such as iTunes Match, Genius, Shared Libraries, etc. However, I can understand those who do. But what annoys me is, don't alienate your long-standing customers in favor of half-baked services that compromise an already great product. A lot of us have huge libraries and spent years building them. When you start experiencing issues like purchased tracks vanishing w/o explanation, album counts that aren't even close, meta-data changing on its own when playing a track, and dozens of albums being split into 2 and 3 parts just because you made an update... well, sorry, but that's just slopping coding.
Here are just a few of the issues I've encountered within the last 12-15 months:
1) Album Artwork duplicating itself, disappearing, or not transferring correctly to iOS devices. (Resolution: Finally resolved by Apple)
2) Purchased tracks vanishing w/o explanation. Example: Dixie Chicks "The Neighbor" just removed itself from my music library on July 1st, 2012. Ironically enough, the track is no longer available for purchase in the iTunes Store, it's not available under my "cloud purchases", and support was not able to restore, this otherwise rare, track. I was told I must have inadvertently deleted it. Not to sound paranoid here, but the last time I checked, the deletion process requires two steps; one to remove from the library and a second to delete the file permanently. Even stranger is that an “empty” track folder for this song remains and if you’re aware how iTunes works, you know that if you confirm the deletion, the folder is also removed. Support couldn’t explain that one (Resolution: None)
3) Albums being split into two, three, four separate files because you update a track or change a value, even though the album name is identical, the track numbers are correct, and the Album Artist values match. (Workaround: Completely rename the entire album and all its “newly created parts” to something stupid, such as “Test”. Then highlight all the tracks and change them back to the correct Album name. Suddenly, you're back to all tracks being listed as one album.)
4) Metadata (genre, title, etc.) on purchased tracks reverts back to its original value after you click play. Never happened before, now suddenly it’s a constant problem. (Resolution: Trick out the db like above, by chosing a different Genre or other value. Click through each track, then switch the Genre back to your original change.)
5) And lastly, the aforementioned “Album Count” issue.
That said, forgive my rant here, but I’m just getting a bit frustrated with the sloppiness lately. I know Apple can do better... (And yes, I’m running the latest version of iTunes, I’ve played with settings, tried restoring iTunes and my iOS devices, etc.) -
Within music Library can anyone please explain why after I select the option to sort 'Album by Artist' a number of tracks are being treated as separate albums? How can I fix this? I have tried to manually correct by 'drag and drop' individual tracks but that doesn't work. My music library includes a number of repeat album artwork images simply because not all tracks are being listed under the one album making my library more difficult to use than it should. Any advise would be appreciated.

Track sorting in iTunes 9 -- Album by Artist and Album by Year mix disc #s
Here's a weird one I just noticed: on iTunes 8, if you selected to sort by Album, Album by Artist, or Album by Year, the tracks within each album would be sorted properly (all songs from disc 1 in order, followed by all songs from disc 2 in order, etc.).
On iTunes 9, this works fine for Album sort, but if you choose Album by Artist or Album by Year, it essentially ignores the disc numbers and sorts everything by track number (all track #1's, regardless of disc, followed by all track #2's).
Has anyone else noticed this? I'm using iTunes 9 for 64-bit Vista. Is there any work-around or way to get things sorting properly?I am having the same problem! I just got off the phone with Apple Care and they were of little help. First, he denied ever hearing of this issue on a Mac (as I use) saying it was only an issue for PC users. I am proof that you are wrong, sir. Second, he denied that it was a bug and said Apple is not treating this as a bug (great...). He says it happened because the multi-disc import occurred in iTunes 8. I know this is incorrect because these same discs were imported using iTunes 7 and made the jump to iTunes 8 without a problem. They are in total denial on this one!
Ultimately, he said to try re-importing my entire library. This will be a huge pain as I have over 25k songs! So, if anyone tries this, please let us know if it works. I tried deleting just the single multi-disc album and then re-"Add to Library" with no luck, so I doubt blowing up my entire library would have a different result. Their other "solution" was to completely uninstall iTunes, then download and reinstall and re-import. This seems like a lot of work with no guarantee of success.
How disappointing! -
Display number of entries per sort order
G'day all.
Does anybody know how I can display number of entries per sort order in
ALV grid.
i.e. ABC 2000
2000
2000
3 (entries) 6000
DEF 1000
HIJ 2000
2 (Entries) 3000
5 (Total Entries) 9000Hi,
The way I did it I used "AT END OF " statement and added my amount to a
variable and then move my variable in work area and then modified your
internal table from work area transporting that field or depending on
your requirement that you need to add a separate line for totals append
the internal table which you are going to use it for first display. Then
after the set_table_for_first_display I added the alv_build_sort
criteria. And call method alv_list->set_sort_criteria exporting the
internal table i_sort.

Sort Mail by Number of Messages per Sender
Is it possible to sort mail by the number of messages per sender, in descending order with the the greatest number on top, etc. and if so, how?
Thank you!At the moment you can do this using the "setmsgperconnect" command, however the setting is global so it will apply to all destinations, not just Yahoo. From what we've seen at other customers the impact of dropping this to 5 for all destinations is generally not noticeable.
We're considering adding this into destination config, although at this stage there's no ETA on it. -
Im trying to import cds i got for xmas onto my itunes and they arecoming up with no artist/album cover or track names, when i click get track info it says i have not internet connection, but im on my windows laptop and can get on the internet, is there something i need to so in itunes tmake it rcognise the album details?
Hey there lollypops21,
It sounds like you are connected to the internet otherwise, but iTunes is giving you this error message when trying to get info from the Gracenote database to retrieve your album info. I had a couple of articles I wanted to recommend you try. First this one named:
iTunes for Windows can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1490
You can always enter in the album information manually with this article if needed:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
Customize song and CD info
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking the Info button and selecting the “Part of a compilation” checkbox.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Info and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track Number fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.
iTunes retrieves CD information from the Gracenote media database. For more information, visit the Gracenote website.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

How to find the number of records per months in cube
Hi,
how to find the number of records per months for my all cubes?
Can i use the ListCube transaction to find totl number f records per cube monthwise ?
JimmyHi,
Here is a program to generate no of records and list of ODS and Cubes in Active version.Schedule this program in background and create a cube to load this information and schedule to the data from the file generated by the program. Schedule this all per you requirement.
1.Copy the code into your Z<programname> from Se38.
2.change the FILENAME in CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' in the program to the location from where you can pick the information to load data to cube(eg Application server).
3.Save program.
4.Schedule the program in background as required
5.Create cube with infoobjects to hold no of records and Infoprovider name
6.Load this cube based on event after the program job is done.
Hence you can report on this cube to see no of records in CUBE or ODS in your box.
Please find the code below.

In the OSB web gui, one of my users found that if the number of items per page is changed from the default of 30, the restore of the file will fail. He tested this using recent versions of Firefox and IE. We have verified this to also be the case using Chrome.
In a directory containing over 100,000 files, moving 30 at a time to find the one to be restored is a very frustrating user experience.
How do I file a bug report for this issue? Is there a workaround for this bug to enable my users to more easily find the file to restore without being restricted to the default of 30 items per page?Yes there is a bug in the webtool in the current release. You can use the commandline obtool to do the restore, that is much faster and works fine.
Thanks

How can I re-establish the notification of the number of mails per folder?
The number of emails per folder always was shown in thunderbird but with the last updates regularly is lost. In the past the columns shown with the folders could be chosen - how can this be done in the new version (v.24.6.0 under windows 8.1)?
Do you have this add-in installed:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/extra-folder-columns/
I've never had problems displaying the columns, with various TB versions or themes, but maybe you have another add-on that is causing the problem, or your pane layout has changed. What happens if you re-install the EFC add-on? -
How to set the number of rows per page dynamically
Hello all,
i urgent need the option to set the number of rows per page dynamically.
I've got a parameter.
In dependence of the value of this paramter i want to set the number of rows per page of a repeating frame.
The Reports Builder version i use is 10.1.2.0.2
I defined a report trigger.
My code so far:
function R_G_BEMERKUNGFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if :vYN_Display_one_per_page = 'Y' then
--what i've to write right here??
return (TRUE);
else
return (TRUE);
end if;
return (TRUE);
end;
Can anyone help me please??
Best regards
FlorianDo you just need to change back and forth between 1 and some other number? If so, you can create two identical layouts, one with the "number of rows per page" preperty (on the repeating frame) set to 1 and the other layout set to whatever. You would have to have duplicate layouts for each group you wanted to do this with. Your format trigger on the outermost master group frame where num of rows was 1 would look like:
function M_G_ename_GRPFRFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if :vYN_Display_one_per_page = 'Y' then
return (TRUE);
else
return (FALSE);
end if;
end;Your format trigger on the outermost master group frame where num of rows was whatever would look like:
function M_G_ename_GRPFR1FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if :vYN_Display_one_per_page = 'N' then
return (TRUE);
else
return (FALSE);
end if;
return (TRUE);

When I try to open a project, the only option for a new track is for external MIDI device; when I try to open an audio or software instrument track, I get an error message saying that "the specified number of tracks could not be created. Reduce the number of tracks to create and try again." I didn't specify ANY number of tracks. Thanks for help!
Ah.. then I suspect you just need to go to Logic's prefs/Audio and check CoreAudio...
It has been unchecked somehow...
Also.. as an aside.. Be careful not to create such large subject names in future when posting here.. They can cause issues with replying to posts in such threads.. due to a bug in the forum software.. so please keep them short and to the point...
