Trouble with sorting albums

I have two troubles with itunes:
occasionally my albums have their "out of" track numbers removed. so in the track # column it does not display "(track number) of (total tracks on CD)" but instead only displays "(track number)"
And
occasionally the LAST song of an album will above the FIRST song of the album instead of the staying as the last song. I have tried everything and cannot fix this without re burning the CD. I don't want to have to do that as I do not have my CD collection with me.
How should I go about fixing these and making sure they dont continue to happen?

Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.
If iTunes won't accept changes to the tags see Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
If iTunes appears to accept your changes but the original values reappear later then the files are likely to be mp3s with multiple tags. In such cases iTunes only updates one of them and may later read back the unchanged data from the other. To fix this select the tracks in question in iTunes, right-click and use Convert > ID3 Tags > None, several times, then use Convert > ID3 Tags > ID3v2.3. You will need to reinsert any embedded artwork.

Has anyone had trouble with photo albums after downloading a newer version of iPhoto?

Has anyone had trouble with photo albums and viewing photos after downloading a newer version of iPhoto?

I downloaded mountain lion and then iPhoto '11 in order to tap into iCloud capabilities with all of my devices. (My Mac was outdated in regards to operating platform to do this). After installing iPhoto 11, I had to repair and rebuild my library of photos. However, after doing this, all of my albums were jumbled and, while I can see the image thumbnail, when I click on the thumbnail, and error that looks like a black triangle and gray exclamation pops up as opposed to the larger hi def image I want to view.

Trouble with an album no longer on the store

Hi all. So far, iTunes Match has been working fine for me on my iPhone. However, today I discovered that one of my albums is giving me a little trouble. It's "Cautella" by Richard Devine, and I bought it on iTunes a long times ago. I used the same iTunes account that I have now, and it shows up fine in the cloud. But when I try to download it from the cloud on my iPhone, the progress bar almost completely fills up, and then... it says "Download error. Tap to retry." (Tapping it again just results in the same error.)
But here's the kicker: I just searched on iTunes for the album, and I think it's NOT available for sale anymore. (Yet, it was successfully loaded to my cloud, and is in my Purchased list.) The other weird thing is some of the songs will still play when I tap them on the phone, and some just get skipped over and don't play.
What can I do to resolve this snag? The only thing I can think of is deleting the tracks from my cloud, purchasing the MP3s again from another retailer, and then matching those new files with iTunes Match. Thanks!

Nevermind. I deleted it from the cloud and iTunes, added it back to both, and now I can download it on my iPhone without getting the error message. (Of course, the cover art disappeared the first time, but that's another story.)

Trouble with photo albums in front row

Hi,
I am having trouble getting my photo albums to play via front row. I have numerous albums but when i go into them in front row, it just shows up random photos from the album and roll they came from, with none of the album pages showing. The photo roll and the name of the albums is the same ie: roll called sweden, album called sweden, would that be causing a problem, ie: iphoto unsure of which photos to show? They play fine in iphoto, with all of the album pages showing, but not in front row.
I'm not sure whether this is a iphoto prob. or a front row prob....
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am getting a little frusterated!!
Thanks,
Mel

Can you launch the Editor separately then use:
File >> Open
How did you install? From download or disk?
Have you activated the software? This has changed with PSE12 and requires you to sign-in with your Adobe ID (email address and password)

Trouble with Smart Albums

I'm trying to create a smart album from within one of my projects. The criteria I'm trying to use is the "Image Location" found in the IPTC data. The image city is "Seattle", but when I try to create the smart album, it comes up empty. No matter what I do, I can't get it to include the images with the city, Seattle. Everything else works properly, including other cities that I've used for smart album creation.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

First thing to do is examine the install disk for any scratches and dirt. If there are any, then you'll need to fix it. I've had success using liquid auto polish (w/o wax) rubbing with a cotton cloth (old, white T-shirt works great) from the center to the edge. Once the disk passes checking, then do an Erase & Install installation, and when it restarts into the Welcome and Setup routine, use the Migration Assistant to transfer your stuff from the bootable backup. It doesn't matter how many times you've upgraded, the new OS will delete anything that's older than the current OS.
Oh, if you can't fix the disk, then call 1-800-MY-APPLE and get a replacement install disk. Should be a nominal fee for S&H.

Trouble with my albums.

I iPod no longer has my music catagorized by albums,artists, etc. It only has a songs tab. I have it enabled in iTunes. Any suggestions?

You must turn on these functions on your iPod under settings to be able to use them. Having them on in iTunes doesn't affect the iPod at all. Welcome to discussions!

Trouble With New Album Download

How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums? Is this possible?

How Can I put an Artists Live Albums in a separate folder, so they sort by "Concert Date" in iTunes and do not "intermingle" so to speak with Studio Albums? Is this possible?
That is about the best way I can phrase my question.
I put year/month/date at the beginning of a show, hoping for them to sort by date and I get mixed results.
Would creating a Folder within the Artists' existing folder that said "Pearl Jam Live", inside the "Pearl Jam" folder in iTunes Media help this "Date Sorting Issue"?
Thank you.

Or is there a way to go through aperture to make a new reference library that I can move the masters into later?
you do not move the masters into a references library - you turn your current library into a referenced library. As Terence Devlin said:
File -> Relocate Masters
What you should set up:
Select a folder, where you want to store your referenced files - probably on an external drive.
Decide on a hierarchical folder structure inside this folder - that is completely up to you.
Select a project from your library and use the command "File -> Relocate Masters/Originals" to move the original image files to the folder where you want to go them to. Only take care not to send two projects to the same folder.
Alternatively, if you do not care about the folder structure Aperture will use, select all images at once from the "Photos" view and let Aperture decide how to assing the folders - in the "Relocate Originals" dialoge you can specify a subfolder format.

Trouble with songs that have no albums

Hey,
I have a new video ipod, but I'm having a bit of trouble with the feature where, when you click on an artist with only one album, it goes directly to the list of songs in that album, instead of the list of the albums. The issue is with artists where I have one full labeled album and another song or two not in the album with the Album field left blank. When I click on the artist, it goes directly to the list of songs on the one album I have, making it impossible to access the song that isn't in the album. You can only get to it by going to the list of all the songs on the ipod. Is there anyway to fix this, or disable the feature that goes directly to the album tracks when you only have one album for an artist? Thanks!
Sorry if that's unclear, here's a sample of the problem (artist - album - song)
Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - Dance Me to the End of Love
Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - Coming Back To You
Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - The Law
Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - Night Comes On
Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - Hallelujah
Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - The Captain
Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - Hunter's Lullaby
Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - Heart With No Companion
Leonard Cohen - Various Positions - If It Be Your Will
Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah
That last Hallelujah (a different version than the album one) is the one that's impossible to find.

Thanks! It's not a neat solution, but until the apple guys fix this problem in the software I guess it's what I'll have to go with.

I had trouble with a iTunes download. Two songs of an album were not complete. I contacted iTunes and yawl post the the download again. My iTunes now has the complete copies. The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies. What up?

I had trouble with a iTunes download. Two songs of an album were not complete. I contacted iTunes and they redownloaded the tunes. My iTunes now has the complete copies. The trouble is my iPhone will not accept/sync the complete copies. It will only play the original incomplete copies of these songs. I've made new playlists and made sure I had the correct items checked to backup/sync. Still only the incomplete copies are played via the iPhone. What's up? What can I do to get to the iPhone to sync the correct version?

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

HELP. 3 years ago I purchased cs3. I had troubles with registering the serial number and used my university's suite instead, and (stupidly) did not sort it out. I am now wanting to subscribe to the online creative cloud with my cs3 discount. Is there any

HELP. 3 years ago I purchased cs3. I had troubles with registering the serial number and used my university's suite instead, and (stupidly) did not sort it out. I am now wanting to subscribe to the online creative cloud with my cs3 discount. Is there any way to find / prove that I had purchased cs3 and locate a serial number? On my Adobe account it does not show my purchase of cs3 (I am guessing because of the trouble with registering my serial number). I have moved house 3 times since the purchase and am unable to locate the packaging or disk. Is there any way to prove my purchase without any serial number or showing under my Adobe account? Please help! Thanks

The CS3 discount offer is only for retail online product, it does not include education or volume license purchases. Refer to Terms and Conditions | Adobe
To check whether you had retail CS3 purchase, we need proof of purchase as well as serial number, without which the issue can not be resolved.

Sorting Photos with an Album

Can I arrange photos with an album by title? Is there a "Sort By" feature in Pictures? Is so, how?

Also unchecking the Keep Sorted by Date option will let you sort them manually.

How can I sort albums by album artist while keeping compilations together?

Argh, I'm getting a bit exasperated. Basically I just want to be able to scroll through cover flow and see all my albums with one cover representing each album, with all the compilations near the end under "V" for various. Surely most people would want to scroll through their albums in this way??
So I've gone through and added all the album artist info, which has worked fine for the artist albums. But for all the "Various" ones, instead of doing the logical thing and grouping them together by album, iTunes orders these all by track artist. There doesn't seem to be any secondary sort function..
I'm always defending Mac and Apple products for their logical applications and ease of use, and now I feel let down.. If there's a way around this please let me know! Thanks,
Malinna

The trouble you're encountering is that iTunes sorts first by Album Artist, then by Artist. Thus, within each Album Artist, you'll get multiple Artist clumps.
You want to sort "Album by Artist". This will, first, strip out all your compilations and sort them to the end of your library, then sort using the hierarchy Album Artist (or Artist if there is none) > Album > Disc # > Track #. Click the Album column header until Album by Artist is displayed. (You can also choose Album by Year, which will sort albums chronologically within Album Artist.)
If you want to keep albums together, you'll need to sort on an Album column; other columns are bound to clump things by whatever you're sorting on.
