Strange sorting issues with podcasts?

I subscribe to the Onion News Network podcasts, the audio only versions, and no matter what information I change I cannot get my podcasts to sort together. iTunes keeps them together in the finder, but the app separates them. I've had two separate icons for the past few years, and now there is a third! Please see the image below and help if you can. The second view only shows 3 podcasts, as seen below.
P.S. The new icons randomly show up when the podcasts are refreshed. Is it something on Onion's end? If so, why is nobody else asking about this!

Hi Vetsrini,
I have implemented the above mentioned code in my logic. But it works fine only when the nodes in the XML has the data. In case if the XML has null value in one fund, It is not sorted according to the latest records. Can u please provide an alternative how to sort the data using date? I have read in ur previous posts that the date needs to be converted into Canonical Format inorder to sort according to date. Can u please send me the syntax how to convert a date into Canonical Format? Right now the format of the date in my XML is in MM/DD/YYYY format. Please help me. I am struck up with this only issue which is causing me a trouble since 1 week.
Thanks & Regards,

Strange Printing Issue With New HP & Pages

Hello!
I have a very strange printing issue with a new HP printer. I have written pages documents heavy in Texts which are located within tables. The documents print fine on a Cannon and Epson printer and look great but when I print the document on my new HP Laserjet Pro 400 Colour M451nw some of the text on some rows come out of the printer looking like they are bold / slightly fuzzy. This only happens with some of the rows of text, not all of them. The font is the same in every row with the same format.
You can see this in the attached image. The first line (Thanks very much) has printed correctly but the subsequent lines look bold / slightly fuzzy.
After a lot of testing the only way I can resolve this is if I copy the content into a new pages document and only then it will print and look ok with the HP printer.
This must be a problem within my origional document. I would simply copy and paste everything into a new document however this would take a very, very long time (over 5 years of work producing teaching materials and over 100 documents and thousands of tables and formatting that cannot be copied and pasted).
Also, on other printers you can see the lines seperating each row of the table. These lines are not visible on the HP print outs, even when the table is copied into a new document.
Has anyone come accross an issue like this before? Is there a way I can fix this without creating a new document? Do I need to get a new another new printer (the 4th printer this week!)?
Any advise, wise words would be greatly apprechiated!
Thanks!

Sorry, Fruhulda. After 4 hours on the phone with Apple care they are taking this issue further themselves. It seems to be a problem with our pages document and the compatibility with certain drivers. We have still not gotton to the bottom of it and Apple are going to get back to me when they have an answer.
We also worked out that the issue only happens when you print via Ethrenet & USB. Printing via Wifi is ok and there are no quality issues.
Very Strange!

Strange Networking Issue with OES

Since moving our entire infrastructure from Netware to OES, I've been trying to figure out a very strange issue. We are a K-12 school system with a data center at the central offices and a single server at each school. The data center has the servers that run all the centralized stuff, including the Master replicas for [root], the DA's for SLP, etc. We noticed that sometimes a school's server will drop out of the SLP tables. When that happens, we also cannot SSH to the school's server from the central servers. We can SSH to it from any other machine on the same subnet as the central servers. The central servers can ping it, but no UDP/TCP traffic can pass between them (no web traffic, etc). We finally realized it only happens when the ISP that serves that school has a brief blip or outage of some sort. The only way we have found to get the servers talking again is to reboot the central servers.
We have tried:
Restarting almost all services on central servers
Stopping and restarting networking
Switching to runlevel 1 and then back
Stopping firewall and/or shutting it off completely
Checking hosts.deny files
Disabling virus scanner (McAfee Enterprise)
Changing vmware network drivers from E1000 (known issue with vSphere 5.1) to VMXNET3
All servers run on HP Proliant servers (blades at central office, towers at schools) running vSphere 5.1. Links between the central office and schools are all 100Mbps fiber via two different ISP (depending on the school's location). A restart of the central office server fixes it every time. I am out of ideas now and at a loss as to why this happens when a WAN link goes down. We thought it was just isolated to one ISP, but it was just that that particular ISP is not quite as reliable as the other. We had an extended power outage at a school served by another ISP over the weekend and saw the same issue with that server after power was restored.
Any ideas or suggestions at where else we should be looking? We also run ZCM 11 at each school and the central office. When this happens, those servers never lose connectivity with each other and with the OES servers on each end. The ZCM servers run on the same vSphere host as the OES servers.

To be clear, while i think this correlation is possible, I do not see any
possibility of causality in here unless your SSH client is somehow using
SLP to resolve the SSH server, which seems very unlikely. I'm not sure if
you're trying to state that SLP is the cause of the SSH stuff, but I do
not think you are.

Hmmm........... so routing works, and the server is even responding to
requests made to it (presumably, or something else is), but SSH is not
responding, or something is preventing it from responding.

I'd get a LAN trace from both sides at the same time. At the very least,
run tcpdump as shown below on both the central office machine as well as
the remote machine to see how the packets differ when trying different
things. If you do a test and do not see output on both sides, do it again
writing it to a file and post somewhere for us to review. Note: since
it's an SSH problem I would either NOT SSH into the system, or I'd be sure
to limit the tcpdump capture/output to something specific to the
connection being tested. Tracing something over which you are sending the
tracing data is never fun since every packet picked up causes another
packet to be generated, to be picked up, to be generated.... ad infinitum.
To see tcpdump output with limited details on the screen:
Code:
sudo /usr/sbin/tcpdump -n -s 0 -i any -vv
To write tcpdump output to a file:
Code:
sudo /usr/sbin/tcpdump -n -s 0 -i any -w /tmp/problem-20140408.cap
While filtering when capturing is typically not desired, you can do it by
adding something like 'host 10.1.2.3' to the list of tcpdump parameters at
the end of either of those two commands. The reason filtering during
capturing is not desired is that you may miss something.... the SLP
traffic, DNS, ARP, ICMP error showing the exact problem, etc.
Good luck.

Link to report an issue with Podcast update

Someone posted a link so we could report an issue with the Podcast app the last time there were issues with an upgrade.
I sync with my laptop iTunes. Since this latest update to the app, when I delete a podcast in iTunes on my laptop it will not delete on my i devices during a sync with my laptop. It just grays them out and leaves them on my device. It looks like I can manually delete them, but when you click the edit function to delete them, they are no longer grayed out, so you can't tell which to delete and which to keep.
I don't do anything with the cloud, because I have limited wifi service and do most of my updating at a free wifi hotspot.
If someone has that online link on where to report issues, I would appreciate you posting it again and this time I will save it.

Apple has Major Issue with Podcast Updating

I have been getting reports from a large number of the folks we represent at RawVoice indicating they are having the same issue with the podcast listings updating in iTunes.
We are going to poll our 6000 podcasters and have them start watching this more closely. Everything has been working perfectly for such a long time most of us never check iTunes anymore.
It could be some update that iTunes is doing but it is negatively effecting many podcasters because the listeners do not know enough to hit Refresh on the subscription listing.
I know my download numbers are way down over the past week because it looks like I have not updated my show. Please check your podcast listings. If you see that they are not updating within a couple of hours of posting start submitting trouble tickets.
Something is broke and I don't think Apple is aware of it. I am getting standard boiler plate responses back from tech support. But if they have enough submissions then they will know something is jacked up.
Here is the info to submit a ticket, you will have to be persistent or you will not get a response.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'.

try taking down the power to the ATV since the last update. Then power back on.

Memory issue with Podcast !!!

Hi,
I have several issues with the Podcast App.
- i cannot sync podcast that i have downloaded on my laptop using itunes to the iphone,
- when i download some podcast directly on the iphone, i cannot play them, i still have to stream them,
- i have uge memory issues and i think that the downloaded version of the podcast might be somewhere on the iphone, but cannot access / delete them (over 16 GO, i have more than 4.5 GO used for 'other', that are not related to anything...)
i have tried to delete / reinstall the app, but this does not change anything...
Any help ?

I have a MSI 975X Platinum rev 2 mb with a e6300 processor overclocked to 2.24ghz.
If your CPU operates @2.24 GHz, it means that you increased FSB frequency to about 348 MHz.
To make sure there is no misunderstanding here, let me point out the following:
Memory frequency is ALWAYS linked to FSB frequency by the FSB/DRAM Ratio you can select in BIOS. If you select 1:1 for example, the BIOS will show that memory frequency is 533 MHz. This value however, only applies to the default FSB clock speed of 266 MHz:
266 MHz x 1 = 266 MHz (or 533 MHz effective DDR2-frequency).
If your system is overclocked, what counts is only FSB/DRAM ratio, not the memory speed displayed in BIOS. That means, if you set FSB/DRAM ration to 1:1 and FSB frequency to 348 MHz, your RAM will operate @:
348 MHz x 1 = 348 MHz (or 696 MHz effective DDR2-frequency).
The main question is:
What are you talking about when you say, you can't make your RAM operate @800 MHz?
The BIOS does not offer a proper divider to get your RAM to 800 MHz @348 FSB clock speed to begin with.
You have the following choices if your overclock your system:
FSB=300 + FSB/DRAM ratio = 1.33
300 MHz x 1.33 ~ 400 MHz (or 800 MHz effective DDR2-frequency)
FSB=320 MHz + FSB/DRAM ratio = 1:1.25
320 MHz x 1.25 = 400 MHz (or 800 MHz effective DDR2-frequency)
FSB=400 MHz + FSB/DRAM ratio = 1:1
400 MHz x 1 = 400 MHz (or 800 MHz effective DDR2-frequency)
Use CPU-Z to monitor the DRAM frequency that is actually set if you are overclocking.

Issue with podcast v2.0 app seeing synced podcasts

Hi Everyone,
I would be extremely grateful if someone could explain an issue I am facing with using the new Podcast v2.0 app on my recently upgraded iphone 4S IOS 7.0.4
I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a windows 7 x64 machine. I have lectures, speeches etc (which I like to listen at 2x speed) that are in mp3 format from different websites etc that I download to my PC. I add them to iTunes and change the "Media Kind" from Music to Podcast within iTunes, I have no problems applying this process, the categories & titles appear in the podcast menu and are synced perfectly fine onto my iphone 4S IOS 5.0.1. I was naturally using the standard music app to listen to the podcasts and I was happy.
I have now updated my iphone 4S to 7.0.4 and have added the podcast app to listen to the podcasts. I do exactly the same process as I have detailed above, I have no issues, I can even see the numerous titles in their seperate podcasts listed under the podcast menu under my iphone in iTunes - so they have been physically synced over to the iphone. The problem is in the new podcast app, I only have one podcast with one title listed, (the newest one) all the other podcasts & titles are not shown anywhere. If I listen to the only title available to the end and then resync my iphone, I realise that the actual title played was the oldest one in iTunes. (not the newest as listed in the app) When I listen to the same & only listed podcast in the app (always the newest one) it is actually the second oldest title that is playing (according to iTunes)
So obviously I assume the podcast v2.0 app is a lot stricter with or it needs additional requirements to be applied to an mp3 file in order that they are show up correctly in the app apart from simply changing the media kind in iTunes (which worked perfectly fine before in IOS 6 & below)
My questions (sorry to take so long to get to them) are, does anyone know what those requirements are? can I apply them to the mp3 files within iTunes or do I need to use 3rd party software to modify/add them so the podcast app will see these manual podcasts?
I hope someone can you help me out with this one as I really enjoy listening to podcasts and feel that my user experience would be greatly hampered if the limit to the availability of podcasts is only to those who have published on itunes or offer subscriptions. The ability to add podcasts manually and have them synced via iTunes is always available so surely it is only a matter of properly formatting, labelling and adding the correct tags to the files so they show up in the podcast app.
Thanks in advance for your help

(P.S Somone mentioned in aonther post changing the genre to "Podcast" as well, will check that out and get back to you all)

To confirm, changing the genre to "podcast" has no effect on displaying the entire list of titles or other podcasts in the podcast app. I beleive the app to have a serious bug.
I can see all the titles in spotlight search, I can search by title name or even artist name and they appear, so clearly they are available in the iphone. Another major issue is I can't play them in the podcast app. I can select one from spolight and the podcast app loads however it always play the same title that is playing, it won't chnage to the title I selected.
Another oddity (bug) is I can delete the one and only title that is listed in the podcast app and it will delete it - the title name does not change however the podcast itself changes to the next one on the list. I can keep deleting them one by one. the title remains the same but the contents of the podcast is the next one after next one as it goes down the list. So the app is not able to pick up & display the numerous titles even though it can play them.
I can change the media kind to either Audiobook or iTunesU and the mp3 files are successfully listed in both the music app or ITunesU app respectively and I have no issues seeing them all, playing them or syncing them. only issue with itunesU is can't increase to 2x speed, it says only at 1x
There really are some major flaws with the the podcast app v2.0. I will add a new ticket to the apple bugreport site for developers concerning these issues.

Strange performance issue with 3510/3511 SAM-FS disk cache

Hi there!
I'm running a small SAM-QFS environment and have some strange performance issue on the disk storage part, which somebody here might be able to explain.
Configuration: one 3510, dual controller, RAID-5 9+1, one hot spare and one disk not configured for whatever reason. The R5 logical drive hosts a 150GB LUN for SAM-QFS metadata (mm in SAM-FS speak) and a 1TB LUN for data (mr in SAM-FS speak). Further, there are two small LUNs (2GB, 100GB) for some other purpose. Those two LUNs have nearly no I/O. All disks are SUN146G. Host connection is 2GBit, multipathing enabled and working.
Then the disk cache became too small, and the customer added a 3511 expansion unit with SUN300G disks. One logical drive is a RAID-1, 1+1, used for NetBackup catalog. The other is a RAID-5, 8+1, providing two LUNs: 260GB SAM-FS metadata (mm) and 1.999TB SAM-FS data (mr).
For SAM-FS, the LUNs form two file systems: one "residing" in the 3510, the other "residing" in the 3511 expansion. Cabling is according to the manual and checked several times by several independant people. Operating system is Solaris 10, hardware is a V880.
The problem we observe: SAM-FS I/O on LUNs on disks inside the 3510 is fine. With iostat, I see 100MB/s read and 50MB/s write at the same time. On the SAM-FS file system which is running on the two LUNs in the 3511, the limit seems to be at 40MB/s read/write. Both SAM-FS file systems are configured the same in regards of block size.
In case I have activity on both SAM-FS file systems, I see 100MB/s+ on the LUN running inside the controller shelf and another 40MB/s on the disk runnin in the 3511 expansion chassis. So, the controller is easily capable of handling 150MB/s.
Cache settings in the 3510 controller are default I think (wasn't installed by me), batteries are fine.
Is this 40MB/s we experience a limitation by the expansion shelf? Don't think so. Anybody has any ideas on this? What parameters to check or to change? Any hint appreciated. I can also provide further details if needed. Thank you.
wolfgang

SUN300G disks sound like 300GB FC disks.
Depending on how many files are in the SAMFS file system, sharing the mm and mr devices on the same RAID array can be a pretty horrible idea. In my opinion and experience, it's almost always better to NEVER put more than one LUN on a RAID array. Period. Putting more than one LUN on an array results in IO contention on that array. And large, unnaturally configured (9+1? Why?) RAID arrays will have problems from the start.
What are the block sizes used on the RAID arrays? It wouldn't surprise me to see that the RAID array on the expansion tray has a very large block size. Larger block sizes are, in general, not better. Especially for SAMFS metadata - which IIRC is something like 8k or 16k blocks.
I suspect what is happening is most of the metadata updates are going to the mm device on the new array, contending with the IO operations on the file data.
How much space is left on each mm device? What does "iostat -sndxz 2" show when you're having the IO problems?

Datagrid sorting issues with 1/0 items to consider

Hi all,
I have an issue I can't find a way to fix. I am using a datagrid which I pouplate through a XMListCollection based on some XML datas.
XML:
var prefs:XML = <files>
<file name="@toto" favourite="1"/>
<file name="@toto"favourite="0"/>
</files>;
XMLListCollection
var xlc:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection( new XMLList ( prefs.file) );
MXML
<mx:DataGrid id="filesList" width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{xlc}">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn width="25" dataField="@favourite"sortCompareFunction="favourite_sortCompareFunc"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
Sorting fucnction:
private function favourite_sortCompareFunc(itemA:Object, itemB:Object):int {
    var value1:Number = Number( itemA.@favourite );
    var value2:Number = Number( itemB.@favourite );
    if(value1 < value2){
         var n:Number = -1;
         return n;
    else if(value1 > value2){
         return 1;
    else{
         return 0;
    return 1;
Once loaded, the datagrid appears in a "normal state":
But if I try to sort first column, it becomes messy
I think it might be related to the fact that the data to be sorted is only made of 0 & 1. But I can't imagine this kind of situations is not fixable.
Any hint ?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Loic

Hi guys,
First of all, all my apologizes for my silence. I had technical issues with Yahoo mail that made me miss 3 months mail ! So I just missed your posts and I can only come today to thank you all for your care and answers.
In the meanwhile, I finally got it working by doing…nothing. Let me explain. The issue was caused by equal datas ( 1 or 0 ). So Flex couldn't sort 1 and 1 or 0 and 0 by itself. But these 0 and 1 were flags for an itemrenderer made of a button in toggle mode. 1 standed for on, 0 for off.
Doing so I did override updateDisplayList and then the issue went away. But if I had to stick with pure datas ( 1 or 0 ) I think I would have had to do a custom sort function to deal with equal datas like a few of you offered.
@DonMitchinson the @ stands for the xml attribute as the datagrid is populated with XMLListCollection from an XML file.
Thanks for your sharing,
Best,
Loic

Strange sound issue with my Satelite U300

I've got a strange sound problem with my laptop.
I have XP pro + SP3 (downgraded from Vista to XP)
Couple week ago, a reinstall XP, because I thought it could solve my problem. But...nothing.
This is a problem: When I turning my laptop on, it gives me a message, "warning, cannot access volume control". When I check device manager, the only yellow question mark is bout PCI memory controller and there is no more unrecognized devices founded.
In Sound, video and game controller - Realtek High definition Audio is just missing.
Usually , then everything is ok, in "Device manager - Sound, video and game controller " I have - Audio Codecs, Legacy Audio drivers, Legacy Video CApture Devices, Media Control Devices,
Video codecs, Realtek High definition Audio. But then sound is missing, the "Realtek High definition Audio" is also missing.
Computers restart doesn't help. Even, when I uninstall Realtek sound drivers from "Add and remove.." and install it freshly, it also doesn't help. I tried to update drivers - nothing..
But, there is one strange thing: When a turning my laptop on couples hours later, or even next day (for exmpl) everything is ok. Sound works. And I can understand why....
All drivers downloaded from Toshiba. BIOS is being updated.
Maybe somebody know how to solve this problem? Any solutions?

Hello
This issue has been brought up on this forum several times under other topic headings. Look under Audio Driver Missing, for instance. I have had this exact problem since purchasing my Toshiba notebook more than a year ago. Toshiba tech support is useless - and you're right that BIOS updates or changes make no difference, at least so far. The other ideas or replies given so far on this forum also don't solve the problem. Unfortunately for now I think you have to live with it, until someone spends the time to figure out what is really going on. I am curious if it is a Toshiba problem, a Realtek problem, or a Vista / compatibility issue.
I have two suggestions, which aren't fixes, but can help get your sound back when it disappears:
1. Restart several times, not just once. Sometimes it works.
2. Try the System Restore function. This used to work for me, until I updated the BIOS and now it no longer helps with this issue!
Make sure you post a solution if you figure it out!

Very Strange Network Issue With Two Guests on 2012 R2 Hyper-V Failover Cluster

Hi all. We're having a odd issue with two guests on our 2012 R2 failover cluster.
In a nutshell, if we shutdown a particular server (I'll call it Server A) another totally different server (Server B) on the same node loses it's network connectivity to the domain. If we start server A back up, network connectivity returns on server B.
At first I thought server A might be running a service that was somehow linked to server B, so I decided to disable server A's NIC. Interestingly, that had no affect on server B's connectivity.
The next step I tried was pausing server A and again, no adverse affect on server B's connectivity.
Next step was to live migrate server A to another node. This action did
cause server B to lose its network connection.
One other clue is that if I ping server B from either of the Hyper-V hosts in the cluster, I never lose network connection to server B.
So I would suspect this is some network issue on the cluster, but I'm kind of at a loss where to go from here.
Has anyone seen this behavior before or does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions I can try?
Thanks!
George Moore

Hi Sir,
I'v never seen this before .
>>Next step was to live migrate server A to another node. This action did
cause server B to lose its network connection.
They are connecting to same virtual switch ?
First please run cluster validation to check if there is any error .
If it is ok , please try the following items for troubleshooting :
1. shutdown serverA serverB
2. then add another virtual NIC for serverB
3. start server B check if the issue happens to both "old" and "new" virtual NIC .
In addition , you can live migrate both A and B to another node , then try to live migrate A to the original node .
If the issue persists , I would suggest you to remove that virtual switch on both nodes then re-create them .

Elton Ji

Serious issues with Podcasts & URLs

Hi there,
I'm having some pretty baffling issues as of late. I decided to hook my podcast into feedburner, and that process has proven to be quite easy. Even redirecting iTunes to that URL was fine. But all of a sudden, iTunes has stopped working and cannot connect to feeds or anything of the sort.
The original XML file iTunes used was "http://wearela.me/lamecast.xml". This was replaced with "http://wearela.me/podcasts.xml". But the replacement URL is only being pointed to by Feedburner.
From there, there's a 301 redirect on my site from the original "lamecast.xml" to the new Feedburner URL "http://feeds.feedburner.com/WeAreLame". I also kept the original "lamecast.xml" and did a:
<itunes:new-feed-url>http://feeds.feedburner.com/WeAreLame</itunes:new-feed-url>
Just to be safe. However, the 301 redirect should alleviate the need for this.
All of this was working JUST FINE until today. Today, iTunes decided it wanted nothing to do with any of this and started throwing errors at me and other subscribers.
I've seen two errors so far. The first is the oddest. "There was a problem downloading "The Lamecast from WeAreLa.me". Then it says (and this is the weirdest part) "The URL "http://wearela.mefeed://feeds.feedburner.com/WeAreLame?format=xml" could not be found on this server.
The thing is, that's NOT a legitimate URL! How iTunes even managed to smush URLs together is beyond me. Nowhere in my code do I even point to the base "wearela.me" url for the podcast. And it's tacking on a completely different URL to it.
So this is my conundrum. I am completely in the dark and have no idea what to do from here. My feeds validate 100% and everything should work. iTunes has just decided it won't.
Can anyone help me?

I've seen this bizzarre combining of URLs before, but I have no idea what causes it; perhaps it's a bug in the Store, but it certainly doesn't make any sense. Unfortunately it means that the standard methods for redirecting a feed won't work as there can be no such URL for you to put a feed with a redirect tag in.
Given this I'm afraid you have only two options. The first is to abandon the old feed altogether. You should get the old podcast removed from the Store - instructions here - and submit your new feed as an entirely new podcast. You will probably need to make a small change in the title, as a bug in the Store software may tell you that the podcast has already been submitted: and of course you will lose any subscribers or comments.
The other option is somewhat uncertain. iTunes Support is notoriously unhelpful, often sending back form answers which often don't deal with the actual problem, or referring the questioner to theDiscussions Forum: however it has been known for someone to persuade Support to shift their podcast to a new URL, so it's worth trying. It's probably just a matter of luck you you get. To contact iTunes Support, go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'.

Issue with Podcast ap?

Hi,
I already posted in the podcast production community and got a response stating that my podcast feed is NOT the issue, and that it must be an IOS or ap issue. so here we go.
I recently took over podcast duties for our podcast. And around a month before I took over (mid-march) I began recieving complaints that the podcast wasn't updating to subscribers. It seems to be mostly from people using the IOS podcast ap. I am using it myself, and I can search for the podcast and find it, but as a subscriber the podcast will not update automatcially, or aknowledge that a new podcast has been uploaded. I am aware that it can take a few days to update from my feed, but it still should alert subscribers when a new podcast is uploaded.
With that said, the podcasts are being updated at the store, the podcast ap is not updating on several subscriber's iphones unless they search for it, which defeats the purpose of being a subscriber.
Any thoughs?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Can you post the output to the command "debug client "?
Can you try if the client has any issues if he was connected to an SSID with OPEN authentication?
Is the wireless NIC drivers updated?

Any thoughts.
The list above is sorted ascending, or at least it was set to do that.
I have tried sorting asceding and descending to see if that would help but nothing.
Thanks

I figured it out. Somehow the sort name was under the acter names for the two that were out of place.

Sorting Issues With Box Sets.

I purchased two box sets on iTunes (The Beatles' and AC/DC's) however on the music app on my iPod, every album has the year 2012 (the year the box set was released) under it which causes all the albums to be sorted alphabetically. I changed the years of every album to the year each individual one was created, however it still says 2012 on my iPod.
I'd really like the albums to be sorted chronologically on my iPod. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
