Tracks out of order and other problems

For one of my albums, the tracks are all out of order. I have edited the information, and the track numbers are proper, but it will not order them correctly. I have even removed the files from Itunes and then added them again--still they do not go in order. Then when I move the files onto my Ipod they are out of order, and it's very annoying. If Itunes won't recognize the track numbers, how do I reorganize them?
My other problem is manly with the Ipod. I'm not entirely sure what I did to cause this but on my Ipod, an artist is doubled. And yet when I view the songs list on Itunes (the list of my Ipod) there is only one artist. How am I supposed to fix this?
I've tried everything I would know of, and neither problems can fix. Thanks to everyone who replies.

    Everything is backed-up.

    There's hardware and software.
    Your drive could physically be in good condition but something has caused the file structure to be messed up (it just happens sometimes).  The directory that keep track of files is corrupt.  Disk Utility can help determine if that is the issue.  In some cases it can repair the problem but it cannot do it to a drive that is being used to boot the system while you are doing that.  You have to boot from another drive.  Some things DU cannot repair and you need to try a stronger utility such as Diskwarrior.
    A failing hard drive (one with mechanical issues) can be a cause of file structure issues but this is by no means always the case.  Apart from looking at the SMART diagnosis feature of Disk Utility (and smart isn't totally reliable) there often isn't a way to tell if a drive is failing until it suddenly happens, which is why you need to maintain backups.
    In your situation it does sound serious and not just minor directory corruption.  You can try erasing (formatting) the drive,  You may need to do this if it is really corrupt, in which case there could be underlying physical issues.  I use old technology but if you have the patience you can try erasing the drive with the security option of writing zeros once (don't do more unless you are going on a 3 week vacation).  This makes the drive not simply assume everything is okay by forcing it try every part of the drive by writing data.  If something is gong wrong you may find it marks a lot of bad sectors, or flat out refuses to format.  Then you know you need a new drive.

  • ITunes playing tracks out of order

    Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11 I've had a problem with some albums playing tracks out of order.
    I put the track number in the file names and track titles, so sometimes I leave the track number field blank. Not a problem, because iTunes sorts the tracks alphabetically so it lists them in the right order.
    In album view, if I select the first track, it plays all the tracks in the right order. But if I select the album, either by double-clicking the album cover or by searching for it from the mini player, it plays them in a random order.
    This makes no sense. What's going on here?   

    So that's an obvious solution (and what I just did in this particular case). But it's an annoying bit of extra work and, more importantly, since it was never necessary before, I have a lot of albums which don't have track numbers. Because, as I said, they always displayed and played in the correct order regardless. So the track number tag was extraneous.
    What I'm wondering is whether there's a fix for this behavior.
    And also whether it's possible to implore the iTunes development team to fix this! If the tracks are listed in a certain order, they should always play in that order.

  • Tracks out of order within Album... (Why?)

    Why on certain albums only are the tracks out of order on the Album view in ITunes 11?
    I have ensured that the Artist, Album Artist, Album, Year fields are all in sync.
    for 95% of my albums this is NOT an issue.
    When I navigate to the folder they are stored in using Finder I do notice that the songs out of order are in a different naming convention.
    (I do have ITunes set to manage the files)  <----- could this have been turned off by accident?
    I have no clue how to fix this. 
    I am an UBER library organizer and this just plain bugs me.
    Thanks for any/all help.

    I had the same problem.  Use GetInfo to take a look at the "info" of the tracks out of order.  I noticed that my tracks had blank values in the "Disc Number" boxes.  Once I filled them in, the view sorted correctly.

  • Albums out of order and duplicated after using Match

    I finished Matching all of my tracks, and endbled iTunes Match on my Desktop, Laptop, and iPhone. My Mac laptop (where I originally enabled and purchased Match) shows my library as I want it-- everything in order correctly and all of the correct album art.
    My desktop shows everything almost correctly. There are a few albums split into multiple (sometimes 7-10) parts, and album art is missing.
    My iPhone (which has no local stored music right now) shows everything almost correctly. Some of the split albums that showed incorrectly on the desktop are in 2 parts instead of 10. Plus, some of the albums are completely out of order and duplicated in the album list view. I attached a screenshot below.
    The "duplicated" albums seem to be alphabetically wrong because one of the tracks (When Love Takes Over, David Guetta) starts with a W. The problem is, the album for that track IS correctly set, and the artist and album artist are both David Guetta. Changing the album (which displays correctly in iTunes on my Mac, and even on my Windows Desktop) to a complilation does nothing.
    How can I fix this?
    (P.S. I have an iPhone 4S, Macbook Pro, and Windows desktop, all running the latest iTunes. I have only 293 songs, so I do not have a large library)

    I ended up fixing my issue. The problem was the fact that some of the songs in an album were marked as part of a compilation, but some were not. iTunes seems to be less strict about grouping things in albums, so I never really noticed it.
    However, this, combined with the fact that I could not update the metadata after the song is added to iCloud resulted in me changing the metadata on the computer, only to have it reset when I updated Match. I solved the problem by deleted everything from iCloud and rematching it, but only after I had corrected the compilation issue.
    So, if you are havng the same issue, delete and readd everything to iCloud. I deleted everything from a second PC (that had no locally stored files) and then rematched from my laptop (where iTunes asked whether I wanted to add to iCloud, keep the song, or delete it. Choose "Add to iCloud" to rematch).

  • What now? I got repair failed  "Keys out of order" and "Invalid extent entry"

    What now? I tried to verify & then repair disk and I got "repair failed"  "Keys out of order" and "Invalid extent entry"

    You've booted from your OS installer disk, ran Repair Disk from Disk Utility? If so then you need a stronger disk repair utility like DiskWarrier to rebuild the directory.
    BTW, update your profile information.

    When reception allows the iPhone sends and receives the messages, this is also dependent on the reception of the other phone you are communicating with. If you really feel you have a problem, contact your Carrier about the problem.

  • Songs out of order and split into several "albums". Only in Grid view upon clicking on album.

    Ok this is getting ridiculous! Until two days ago, all was well in my itunes universe. Not so anymore. All tracks on ALL albums are all jumbled, but only when I use Grid view. List view, OK, as are all the others. All the sorting info seems to check out and nothing seems amiss. When I have 10 songs shy of 7000, going album-by-album through the whole library doesn't quite seem viable as an option. Could there be a corrupted plist or preference file somewhere I could trash? I downloaded the latest version, then spent 5 hours restoring Itunes from my last backup and that was before the problem occurred. What gives? I've tried everything I've been able to find on the internet so far and nothing has worked. I've yet to attempt a reinstall as I'm afraid this bother is hiding somewhere in a file that wouldn't be touched by a reinstall. And I'm not willing to live with it as this is my preferred way of interacting with itunes. I have better things to do with my day off than scour the web for a solution that never should have happened in the first place. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time in advance.

  • Macintosh HD can't be mounted, keys out of order and repairing can't be completed

    Hi,
    English isn't my mother tongue so I'll make my best to be understood.
    I have a Macbook Pro from 2012, running on Yosemite (latest version). I installed Onyx which told me my disk needed to be verified and repaired. Following this advice, I restarted my computer with Disk Utility and completed a verifying and repairing. Which led to a terrible outcome. Since then, everytime I boot with my user on my Mac, my computer shuts down in the middle of the progress bar. I tried to find an explanation to it and fix it, so I tried the following things:
    1) I booted with CMD + R to go into Disk Utility
    2) I runned a verify Disk on "Macintosh HD" Core Storage Logical Volume Disk, which didn't give me any error
    3) I unlocked "Macintosh HD" Mounted encrypted partition and runned a verify disk, which says :
    "Keys out of order
    The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
    File system check exit code is 8.
    Error : the disk needs to be repaired, Repair disk."
    4) Unfortunately, the "repair disk" button is grayed.
    5) So I runned repair Disk on  "Macintosh HD" Core Storage Logical Volume Disk, which didn't give me any error.
    6) I tried to boot my computer again but it still shuts down when trying to open my user.
    7) Did all the same process again, but now the error is "Keys length incorrect" and repairing is now always blocked in the middle of the progress bar.
    Is there any way I could extract the data I care about (photos, etc.) before erasing the disk or buying a new one?

    There's hardware and software.
    Your drive could physically be in good condition but something has caused the file structure to be messed up (it just happens sometimes).  The directory that keep track of files is corrupt.  Disk Utility can help determine if that is the issue.  In some cases it can repair the problem but it cannot do it to a drive that is being used to boot the system while you are doing that.  You have to boot from another drive.  Some things DU cannot repair and you need to try a stronger utility such as Diskwarrior.

  • ITunes/iPod displays album tracks out of order

    I have this weird problem where one of my albums has three tracks that display out of order.
    http://i55.tinypic.com/mtwf0x.png
    I can't think of anything in the tags that would cause this. They're all identical in terms of album/artist/# of tracks...
    But this causes a wierd problem with another album
    http://i55.tinypic.com/xmvh2e.png
    The three out of place tracks go there when I order by album. On my iPod in album view, Black Symphony gets displayed in the Bs, but then in the Hs, it'll show up as a full listing again like this:
    Heart of Everything
    Black Symphony
    Heart of Everything
    Black Symphony
    Heart of Everything
    Black Symphony
    Going into each album will have the full list. Heart of Everything displays its tracks in order, but each entry for Black Symphony will have the full listing with tracks 9, 15 and 21 at the bottom of the track list.
    Any idea what would cause this issue?

    Holy frigging crap that was it! I didn't even think to look under the sorting tab! No idea how that got set anyway since they're all from the iTunes store. Anyway, apart from those three tracks, Black Symphony had the Sort Album field empty. I cleared it on those three tracks and everything is normal now. Thank you!

  • 'Complete My Album' puts tracks out of order on iPod

    I used 'Complete My Album' to add the remaining 12 tracks to the original track I bought. The original track (track 9) ends up at the end of the album (track 13) on the iPod. I have made sure all tracks are listed correctly by track number under More Info in iTunes. iTunes shows the correct album order, but the iPod does not. Any thoughts?

    I had this same problem and simply checking through that box didn't work, BUT, if you go through all of the boxes, it should fix the problem, it does indeed look like a problem with information in boxes throwing things out of whack.

  • ITunes is playing tracks out of order

    With the new iTunes update all the tracks for my albums are out of order.  This really poses a problem when playing Broadway soundtracks (I kind of like to hear the show in order).
    Is there an easy fix for this?

    I also have this problem when in album "grid" view. iTunes plays the songs totally out of orded, but NOT by shuffling. (I've made sure the "shuffle" function is turned off). The order it plays the songs is screwed up, but non-random. I.e it's the same everytime.
    Just like the previous poster, I've also assigned numbers to each track title, and they're organized correctly in each album. It's just that iTunes seems to ignore the order of the songs, and jumps between albums.
    This is NOT good for my OCD!

  • The music I sync into my iPod touch is all literally out of order and in the library it's not. Why is this?

    I checked the starting time for songs in the library and on my iPod and they all say 0:00. What I mean when I say it's out of order is for example, the first ten seconds are skipped and placed somewhere in the middle of the song and some other parts are skipped then played later. I didn't have this problem before I updated iTunes for my new iPod, now when I tried syncing onto my old iPod as well, the same thing happens. So there's nothing wrong with my iPod. I want to know how I can fix this on iTunes or if it's just a glitch on my iTunes?

    Something you can try is resetting it all Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. Or go to Settings > Store &amp; sign out &amp; log back in. Another thing you can do is restore your ipod. This has happened to me but the only thing i did was that i created a new account but try doing the things above i just told you. :)
