TV Shows in Album VIew Not Sorted By Episode

I just downloaded iTunes 7.1 and my TV episodes are no longer sorted by episode when I'm in album view. They are correctly sorted by season, however. Does iTunes now use the EpisodeID instead of the Episode # to sort, because I put in the names of the episodes for the EpisodeID?

Check out this thread for a discussion on my problem.

How to show only complete albums in Albums view NOT singles?

I will try to explain this sa simple as I can:
- In albums view I ONLY want my completed albums listed.
- I tried to rename the album title of all my singles or songs with incomplete albums as "singles/incomplete albums" but they are still listed individually by artists under albums. So instead of one album names "singles.." there are hundreds with that name, just as before, one big hodgepodge of albums.
- I just want all my full albums (500 or so) listed nice and neat NOT like 2000 albums listed.
- To have my albums nice and sorted I have always had to make an individual playlist for eah album, under a folder called "albums". I figured by iTunes 11 I would be able to have only my full albums listed in one place AND be able to use the new slick looking interface.
Thanks!

- I tried to rename the album title of all my singles or songs with incomplete albums as "singles/incomplete albums"
Then you have already done the hard part. Now, just make a smart playlist with the rule "Album" "does not contain" "incomplete". Go into that smart playlist and switch to Album view.

ITunes 11: Albums not showing in Album View

Okay, so I added three albums to my iTunes library, and I can't seem to find them in Album View, in fact, I can't find them in any of the four view modes. I'm pretty sure that they're actually added to the library, because I can see them, play them and even sync them to my iPhone in my Recently Added automated playlist. I've tried relaunching iTunes, running it as an admin, and re-adding the three albums, but to no avail. Does anybody else have the same problem? Or better still, actually know a way to fix this?

I can't find mine either. I've tried several times, today for 30 minutes. They show up as a recently added playlist but I can't seem to drag from their either. Will try again. *** apple, why does itunes suck so much?

ITunes album view not working and no album art?

Hi all -
Bought a 64GB iPhone 5 and uploaded my music via my desktop - all seems to have run fine, except that album artwork isn't showing for many of them, even when I select the option "View artwork".
I've read on another thread that ID3 tags of 2.3 or lower are not supported, but find it hard to accept there's no compatibility here - so am presuming user error rather than Apple trying to force users to manually update all their albums (I have 57GB of music - don't want to update album art on everything!)
Also, I've just downloaded and installed iTunes on my laptop, and connected the iPhone to laptop. However, the album view options aren't working. All songs are simply listed by album name, but none of the column listing features work either (ie, sort by name, genre, etc).
I presumed iTunes had crashed, but restarting the laptop and the same happens. Am on latest software for iTunes and iOS 6.
One more curiosity - how do I download my music from the iPhone to the desktop? I had presumed it would do this automatically (ie, into the iTunes media folder) but so far nothing.
Or is it simply the case that iTunes is preparing to download all music into the desktop, hence why it's not working properly? Simply because there's no notice of anything happening.
Apologies for any newbie questions - found myself using the iPad quite a lot for apps, but never for music as it was only the 16GB version, so have been sold into joining the Apple walled garden. Would be nice to get these issues sorted out, though.

Hi David
Yes, I found the importer now. I also fixed my problem, but with 'brute force':
For each of the folders not being indexed, including the ~/Library/Mail folder, I turned on Privacy in the Spotlight System Prefs and then turned it off again. This seems to have fixed things. I did this for some old document folders too and that also seems to have worked.
So far so good. thanks again. For now I'm marking this as solved.

One album will not sort by date

I have 5000 or so photos that I've spent weeks organizing and rating.
I set up smart albums with rules to include only specific keyword identified pictures then combed thru all the pictures asssigning keywords (e.g. Spouse, Scenery, Wildlife, People...etc).
Afterwards I rate the pictures. Following that I set up another smart album corresponding to each original and select only the 4 and 5 star rated ones. I then assign the keyword "Slideshow" to all those using batch update.
Finally I was organizing my final smart album by selecting all pictures with the keyword "Slideshow" in a single smart album.
As each collection of pictures was pulled into the slideshow album they remained sorted by date until the final one. The final group of photos went to the back of the bus. Nothing I do will make them properly merge with the rest in date sequence. If you look at the information the dates still are properly set, but they will not sort. When I looked for them in the library folder they are improperly sorted there as well.
Now here is the thing: I changed the title of each album before pulling it into the Slideshow album. I did this to assign a name and sequential number to each picture that made the final cut. On the album giving me problems I mistakenly first changed the name to the date instead of to text. I quickly realized my error and changed it back but evidently by then I had hosed things up. Even though the information still shows all the date info properly, it behaves as if the date was now the current date.
Is there any way to resolve this issue?

I can sort by Title and I can sort by Date however the entries do not set themselves up chronologically, for instance this is the sort sequence after I sort by Date.

Album view not staying put...

After updating my Touch to the new 1.1.4, the album view will reset to the top of the list when moving in and out of the list to view other items. That view use to stay where you last were when you moved to other pages, now it won't on mine. This problem has cropped up in different update versions. Some fixed them while others brought it back.
Anyone else have this problem?

On my ipod touch, if I pick an album to view its contents and then go back to the album list, the list won't reset. If I pick another view such as artists or genres, then when I pick the album view again, it resets to the top of the list. I have version 1.1.4

Album view not working correctly

I just bought two albums via the Store (first two albums by Men At Work). Whenever I view them, iTunes insists on separating the first track from all the other tracks. (It does this in all three viewing modes - List, Grid, or Cover Flow.)
The albums themselves are organized as they should be...iTunes isn't actually separating the albums, only the viewing of them. (Meaning, if I play the first track, then let it go, it'll go on to the second track, just like any other album.) What's going on? How can I stop iTunes from doing this?
Also, in List mode, iTunes only does this when I tell it to show the Artwork column. Why would it do this? The album art itself is exactly the same for all tracks.
Neither of these are compilations, BTW. Also, the tracks all have exactly the same name for the artist, album artist, etc. (Believe me, I checked that too.)

Did you look at One album, still too many covers? Select all the tracks from one of the albums, change the Artist & *Album Artist* to *Men At WorkX* and add a trailling X to the Album title. On the Sorting tab put ticks against the *Sort Artist*, *Sort Album Artist* & *Sort Album* boxes then click OK to apply the changes. This should merge the album into one entity. Now put back the back the correct values and the album should stay joined up.

My Albums Will Not Sort Properly, Please Help!

I deleted everything from my iTunes library so I could start over again, making sure everything was neat and tidy, all in the right place and completely SORTED for when I get my iPhone 3G. Now, I have just started importing my full albums and I want them sorted into their actual albums. For example, the first album I have imported is Ministry Of Sound: Anthems and I want it in my library stating that the album is called Ministry Of Sound: Anthems and there are 21 tracks in this album. Although, unfortunatley, this is not the case. Instead it has sorted each song sepreatley, stating only the album name and the artist, even when I am in "Sort Album > By Title" view. Below is screenshot (and a link for if the picture does not display) of what I mean.
http://img217.imageshack.us/my.php?image=itunesproblemxi4.jpg
Note also, under the search box at the top right, it states "21 Albums, 21 Songs" when in fact I want it to display "1 Album, 21 Songs". Could someone please tell me how to do this as soon as possible.
Thank you very much in advance,
Elliot.

Thank you very much, the problem has been resolved. I'm glad I asked and will return if any problems arise. Thank you again, Elliot.

TV shows from iTunes are not sorted correctly on iPod

I bought episodes of a TV show from the iTunes store and all of a sudden nothing is sorted correctly anymore. They're completely fine on iTunes but on my iPod Classic (it's the newest one, 160 GB) it just doesn't seem to want to work. I've tried restoring it a few times but so far, no change. And I've checked all the tags and everything so it shouldn't be wrong but I'm thinking the issue is with my iPod, not iTunes.

I had the same issue with this. what I did to fix it was select the shows in the TV playlist, then apple - i to get info, click on the video tab, select "TV Show" from the "video kind:" pull down menu.
Resync the touch. You should see the files in the video playlist on the Touch. I'm not sure why they let you sync tv shows if they don't appear on the Touch. In any case, the above work around should work for you.
Good luck.

Albums are not sorted properly by their titles

I'm using itunes for windows (the latest version).
And I have a problem with album sorting - they're not being properly sorted by their titles.
As you can see it from above, I'm grouping music by genres and inside one genre (in this case, piano sonata), I want to sort them with their titles.
I chose the option which says it sorts by title, but as you can see it's not working properly.
Chopin (C) - Schumann (S) - Liszt (L) - Barber (B)...
Actually most of albums are sorted correctly, but only some of the albums seem to be put on the wrong places.
Is this problem known and is there way to fix this?
It's not a critical problem but it's quite annoying for me...
If there's a way please let me know.
Thank you!

HJ Lee,
For one of the problem tracks, right-click, Get Info and look at the Sorting tab. There may be information there that is overriding the main tags.
If so, you can edit it in that tab.

Why are albums still not sorted alphabetically?

iPhoto 11, v. 9.4.2
Hello all,
I am running Lion Server and I share the server's iPhoto Library (source lib) on the local LAN.
When other Macs access the iPhoto Library the albums that are alphabetically sorted on the server are displayed randomly on the "client" Macs.
I prefixed all albums with a date such as 2012 12.
In the last few years Apple has introduced a whole range of new features (faces, places, events etc.) but this vexing issue hs not been not resolved for many years.
Or is it me who is missing an option ?
Thank for your suggestions,
Twistan

Only Apple can answer that kind of question.

Css shows in live view, not in design view

Hi all-
I'm new to dreamweaver and was trying to move a site I have already coded into dreamweaver, hopefully to be able to find errors but mostly to be able to update more quickly in the future.
I've noticed one pecularity (at least to me!) - I have some basic "rounded corners" with css that show up properly in the "Live View" or in a browser, but in design view they are just standard boxes with no css attributes added.
Is this normal, or is it something in my code?

It's most likely completely normal. I know in my DWCS4, it doesn't recognize any CSS3 items in Design View.
As long as your pages are validating and previewing in the browsers correctly, you're good to go.
You can run the validators here to check for errors...

Music showing under albums and not under artists

I put a few cd's on my ipod and put them in a specific playlist, later I deleted the playlist. I have noticed that the cd's don't show up under artists but they are showing up under albums. Is there a way I can get them under artists again?

Thank you so much for replying. This didn't work, I clicked on get info and all the correct info was there. Kinda weird huh? Thanks Again

Tracks showing in albums but not artists

Hi guys, if anyone can solve this i'll be eternally grateful!
I've just imported a cd to itunes, and then put it across onto my video ipod and can see it's there in itunes library and also on the ipod. but when i turn the ipod on, and look for the album under 'artists' it's not there. the album does come up under 'albums' though.
how do i change this so it comes up under artists as that's where i always search for my music. it's the first time it's happened to me.
if it helps, my ipod software is version 1.2 and it's itunes 7
thanks anyone!

This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song is marked as part of a compilation or 2) it is missing an album name.
If the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.
Also if tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod

In Album View Same Album Art Shows On Mulitiple Albums

Hi,
When I view my music collection in "album" view in itunes 11 many of the albums I have are using the same cover art, ie the album art from a single album is being incorrectly repeated across multiple albums.
This is not the case for all my albums as some have the correct album art showing.
In cases of albums were the incorrect artowrk shows in "album" view if I then go into "song" view and select the first song in the album and go into "get info" and then "Artwork" I can see that the incorrect album cover is showing. And this is the album art that is also used in the album view in itunes.
However, if I look at the second, or sometimes the third song in the album in "get info" "artwork" the correct artwork is actually showing.
So it looks like somehow itunes has taken one randon album cover and applied it to the first song of many of my albums, but left the correct artwork for the remaining songs of an album.
So the correct artwork is still "there" but it is only applied to the second and following songs of an album.
I have hundreds of albums in tiunes and am hoping for a slick way to fix this. As slick as Apples advertising. I would prefer not to have to have to spend a weekend moving files around so simple is good.
I have tried to delete all the cover art files and the get artwork again but same thing happens.
May thanks in advance.

Thanks for you help turingtest2.
I have searced for that file and I get it twice in the same folder. one of the files has a date stamp appended to it 2013-01-25 (todays date).
I copied both files to another folder and moved the album artwork folder to the same folder.
I then restarted itunes. I did not have to request any artwork and the original artwork was still there (incorrectly). It did not seem like anything was downloaded as itunes opened quick and when i selected album view it went to there without delay automatically with the artwork there.
The album artwork folder was recreated in the itunes folder.
I did a search for the *.itc files and it seems the old moved album artwork folder contained may more *.itc files than were recreated in "recreated" album artwork folder. Not sure if that means anything.
Hmmm.
