Tracks in my albums are all in the wrong order!

Hi, as it turns out I have a problem. Some of my albums on my iPad have all mixed up, the tracks we appear as, instead of in correct order (listed as 1. 2. 3. Well you get the idea), are in the wrong order! Everything was fine before I update to iOS 7, as anybody else had this problem?
Many thanks

iTunes doesn't do multi-level sorts, or rather it doesn't give us users any control over them. Take, for example, the *Album by Year* view and you'll see that is has sub-ordering on quite a few values. In pseudo-SQL it's something like this:
SELECT * FROM Tracks ORDER BY Sort Album Artist, Year (Of 1st Track of Album), Album, Disc #(Empties Last), Track #(Empties Last)
Where there is no Sort Album Artist value it is infered from Album Artist, Sort Artist or Artist. Where there is no Sort Album it is infered from Album.
When you click to sort on the Year column any previous ordering is discarded. If the tracks are in the wrong order then all you can do is click again to change between an ascending or descening sort.

  • I have an iPod 5thGen 30 GB. My tracks on my playlists are rarely in the correct order on the iPod, tho the order is correct when viewed on iTunes.

    I have an iPod 5thGen 30 GB. My tracks on my playlists are rarely in the correct order on the iPod, tho the order is correct when viewed on iTunes. Is there anything I can do?

    It goes by the Track # field, as seen in on a list in iTunes.  So, make sure the Track # field is correctly entered for each song when you review the album on a list in iTunes.  Also, make sure the Album field is entered identically for all the songs on the album.
    You can edit those fields by doing a Get Info on a song, and going to the Info windows's Info tab,

    Hi Michael,
    I'm glad iTunes is working now!  If you want to locate iTunes plug-ins on your computer, you can find them in the following locations (you may not have the iTunes Plug-ins folder if you do not have plug-ins):
    Mac:
    /Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
    /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
    One thing I also wanted to mention is that the "Users/username/Library" is hidden in Lion and Mountain Lion.  You can access it using these steps:
    OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?
    The Library folder contains files used by OS X and your apps, including your personal fonts and preferences. The Library folder is hidden. If you need to open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go > Library.
    You can find the full article here:

  • Cover Flow in the wrong order

    I have had my Ipod Touch for about a week now, and I have about 1000 songs on there. I love using 'Cover Flow' to browse through my music, but whenever I do, the Albums are all in the wrong order. I know this isn't a major thing, but I really like to have them in the same order as iTunes, as I use that a lot as well.
    I have tried resetting the Ipod, but I haven't tired restoring it through iTunes cause I don't want to loose all my music and have to sync it all over again.
    Is there a solution?
    Can anyone help me?

    One other thing which I think has been happening to many people recently is the change in album artwork. There must have been something wrong with the 2.2 update! The album artwork is fine in the 'Cover Flow' (just in the wrong order!), but when I'm scrolling in vertical view some of my albums have just completley black pictures of the actual artwork!
    Btw, all of these things are fine in iTunes, so it must be something wrong with my iPod and not with how I organize my music! Thanks to anyone who can help!

  • My photos in a folder are not in the correct order. How can I move them around?

    I  Am making an album of the life of an aunt. My photos are all in the wrong order. How can I move them around in the folder?

    lets use the correct words so we do not mis-communicate
    are you using iPhoto or the finder?  Never touch your photos using the finder if you use iPhoto!
    In iPhoto folders can not hold photos - folders hold only other folders or albums - albums hold photos  --  within an album you can manually arrange photos as you wish

  • Why are my Albums in the wrong order!!

    All of my albums in my itunes library are in the correct running order, likewise with my playlists. But i can't seem to get them in the right order on my new ipod. The playlists are fine. But the albums are in completely the wrong running orders in each and every one of my albums!! My ipod isn't set on Shuffle. What gives??? Is this the only way i can listen to individual albums, all jumbled up with the first track halfway through etc?? Someone please help!!!

    Hey man. Your problem is that the albums in iTunes are organized by the track number only. But when comes to iPod you must add the total number. E.g. track 1 is numbered 1. Make it 1 of what ever. In iTunes choose the album you want organize correctly. Then highlight all the tracks. Then right click one and choose Get Info. You can see under the track number you have two boxes. One for the track number and the other for the number of all tracks in the album. Just add the number of all track in that album to the second box. It fixed the problem for me & hope it does the same for you.

  • HT1725 I downloaded an album and all of the tracks will play about 3/4 of the song then stop and play the next song.  I went to itunes store and it said the songs fully downloaded. So how do I get the full song into my library?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

    Never mind, got it to work. I stumbled around on Google for a while and somehow ended up reading things from the 'jailbroken' community. They had easy instructions to get out of Recovery mode. Thanks anyway though!
    P.S. For anyone who experiences this, here is the fix: Hold Power and Home in unison for 6 seconds, then power on as normal.

  • I have iphoto 08 version 7.1.5.  I copied photos from recent - last import into albums.  I then deleted the photos and emptied the trash. Today all the albums are empty and the photos are nowhere in the library.  Have I lost them all?

    OK, here are a set of screenshots with my step by step - maybe you will be able to spot where I've gone awry:
    I find a photo in the Library that I will delete from an album:
    I go down to my Albums and find the picture in one of them:
    I hover over the pic so the little down arrow appears in the bottom right-hand corner. I click on it, then click on the Trash Can in the window that drops down:
    Gone from the Album:
    Gone from the Library:
    In the Trash:
    Whaddup with that?

  • Message tracking log of internal users who are all sent the mails to external domain

    Sankar, your outbound send connector has an address space of *. So when you run "Get-SendConnector", you will see something like the following:
    Identity                                AddressSpaces                          
    Enabled
    Unix System Connection                  {SMTP:*.domfreebusy.contractor.hunti... True
    Outgoing SMTP Connector                
    {SMTP:*;10}                             True
    Mailbox Journaling Connector            {SMTP:pdwastap01.huntington.com;1}      True
    The middle one with the {SMTP:*;10} in my case (you may have a different number than 10 in yours) is my outbound connector. So yours will show an address space of {SMTP:*;<some number, 10 is the default>}. HTH ...

  • I am using Adobe Photshop Elements 11, I just transferred all of my data from an old computer to a new computer, all my pictures and documents transferred fine but, my albums are missing and the date and time that is usually under the picture are missing.

    I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, I just transferred all of my data from an old computer to a new computer, all my pictures and documents transferred fine but, my albums are missing and the date and time that is usually under the picture are missing.. How do I get them back?

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    The date & Time can be displayed by going to the View menu and checking Details - also File Names if you want them displayed.
    The Album information is saved within the catalog so it sounds as though you didn't do a catalog backup on the old computer and a catalog restore on the new computer which is the recommended way of transferring elements data. Did you just copy the photos over?

  • My family of four are all sharing the same Apple ID so that we can share the calendar. Is this a disadvantage?

    My family of four are all using the same Apple ID for our iPhones as well as several iPads.  From what I've read, the preferred practice is for each family member to have their own Apple ID.  We need to share our calendar and do not want to lose access to our music. What do you recommend at this point?

    Hello phoge,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to share music and calendars with the family. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    Once you’ve set up Family Sharing, all the eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps ever purchased by family members are immediately available to everyone else in the family. And, of course, so are new purchases.
    Family Sharing creates a family calendar where everyone can view, add, or change events and appointments, and they can also get an alert when something changes
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • I transferred my iPhoto FACES to my mini iPad and: (a) they are not in the alphabetical order I had them in, (b) some of the FACES have been deleted, (c) the EVENTS I checked off in iTunes do not all appear in the iPad?

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there.
    Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A Finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache. Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

    Hello - I live in the UAE and my itunes account is regsitered here. Unfortunately the choice of music is not as good as when my account was registered in the UK. I cannot register my account in the UK as my bank details are all in the UAE now. HELP!

    Sorry, but no help is possible. You can only use the UAE iTunes Store, and Apple can only offer what content they are able to license for sale in that country. You'll have to look elsewhere for content. Whether there are any other download stores able to sell in the UAE I don't know. You may need to purchased CDs and import them into iTunes.
