Unwanted Scrambling of Music Order on iPad

Ever since I upgraded to iOS 7, I have been unable to sync albums to my iPad without the order scrambling. For example, I just put an album on my iPad and the order is showing as 2, 7, 9, 14, 18, 5, 12, 22, 1, 4, 15 etc. I do not have scramble on (neither on iTunes nor in Music on the iPad). Nor are the tracks in any kind of alphabetic or numeric order. I've checked in Settings, I've looked all over iTunes, I've tried dragging. Nothing works. Short of writing a new playlist for every album, how can I get music onto my iPad in track order?

Never mind, got it. Had to restart ipad and log out and back in ince again and finally music updats and pulls all the songs from the library, unnecessary quirk that!

  • IPad Album songs scramble out of order on IOS7

    I just loaded IOS7 on my iPad.  Now when I open iTunes and select "Albums", all the songs are scrambled out of order.  When I select "Artists" and view each album, the songs are back in correct order.  Please help...

    I am having this same problem. 

  • HT1535 Unwanted "Genius" playlists added to my iPad music library.

    I'm getting multiple unwanted "Genius" playlists added to my iPad music.
    How do I get rid of these files with zero bytes of data????

    Thanks for the reply but it doesn't really work.
    Once I unselect any tracks in the "smart playlist" they also unselect in my the "main" itunes. Which means when I go to listen to these tracks on my Mac, they won't play in the "main" itunes automatically without manually clicking on each one of them (those that have been unselected) and obviously vice versa for listening to music on the "smart playlist".
    Does that make any sense?
    I feel that I don't have full control over how I'm interacting with my music. It would seem, to do this, I need a seperate player for listening to music on my Mac, and itunes for syncing music back and forth on my iphone.

  • How can I transfer music from my iPad to my iPhone without using a computer/iTunes?

    Disclaimer:  I am actually asking this for a family member, but I don't have an answer for her either.
    My family member has an iPad with music on it currently.  This music is music bought from iTunes and music bought from other sources.
    Her computer died a few months ago and she does not intend on replacing it.
    She just bought an iPhone and would like to copy the music from her iPad to her new iPhone.
    I had originally thought that iTunes Match would work for this, but the Apple Support article regarding iTunes Match (iTunes Store: Subscribing to iTunes Match) suggests that it requires a computer w/ iTunes to do the initial update.
    I'm willing to consider approaches from either, Apple or third-party.
    If it helps, her iPad and iPhone are both running iOS 7.

    The answer is, "you don't".
    Music other than that purchased from the iTunes store had to be synced to the device using iTunes on a computer. The media should still exist on that computer. She can use the computer to sync the music to the new device.
    An iPad or iPhone is NOT a backup device. In order to set it up to sync to a new computer were she to replace hers, the media on the device would have to be erased before anything could be synced to it. Media synced to the device can not be synced back to a computer (without purchasing 3rd party software). Without a computer and iTunes, it's not possible to transfer media from one iDevice to another, even with 3rd party software.

  • Can I transfer music from my iPad to my iPod nano without a laptop?

    I do not seem to be able to transfer music between Apple products. Both my iPad and my iPod nano have a lightening fitting but there do not seem to be any lightening to lightening cables around in order to transfer from my iPad to my iPod? I'm downloading music to my iPad from iTunes, yet I am unable to put these on my iPod which, as a dance teacher, is extremely frustrating. I've tried switching on the Bluetooth on both products to see if this works and it does not. I do not currently have a laptop, so please can someone advise as to whether I can actually share the music that I've paid for between my devices? I really hope so.

    You cannot transfer music directly between your iPad and iPod nano.
    To do what you want you need a computer.
    When you have one, sync both devices to the same iTunes running on that computer. This will also backup both your devices which you should do regularly anyway.

  • How can I transfer the music on my iPad mini to an empty music library on my new macbook?

    I have recently purchase a new Mac Book with retina display.
    I have tried without success to transfer the music from my iPad mini to the empty iTunes library on the Mac Book.
    Each attempt warns me that my iPad music library will be replaced by the Mac Book library.
    As this is an empty location surely all that will happen is that my iPad library will also become empty following the sync?

    This is an excellent user tip that instructs you on what you need to do. For the music that was purchased from iTunes, you will be able to use the Transfer Purchases feature.
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive
    This is is the article that talks specifically about transferring purchases.
    iTunes Store: Transfer purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    Any music that was imported from CD and then synced to the iPad will require a their party app in order to transfer the music. Something like this.

    Had to restore my computer and now have music on the iPad that I would like to transfer back to the computer. How do I do this? (Operating system is Windows Vista)

    This depends, if the music was purchased on the iTunes store you can transfer purchases. If it was not then you would need a 3rd party program in order to rip these files to the computer.

  • TS4009 How do I delete music from my iPad

    I'm trying to delete music from my iPad in order to make more room for storage so I can download a software update. I will access iTunes music from the iCloud or download music manually when I want to have songs on the iPad.  How do I delete iTunes music?

    By connecting the iPad to your computer's iTunes, and either removing it from the list of music that you sync to the iPad and re-syncing, or selecting Music under the iPad 'device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and deleting the tracks that you don't want. You can't delete music directly on the iPad

  • Can you transfer music from your iPad to your iPhone?

    Can you transfer music from your iPad to your iPhone?

    Yes.

    FYI .. both the iPad and iPhone must be using the same Apple ID in order to transfer iTunes purchases.

  • Playing music from my iPad through my home stereo?

    Can I play music from my iPad through my home stereo using AirPlay and an Airport? Is this the way to go?

    Do you actually have to have either an TV or an AirPort Express on your network in order to get the AirPlay icon to appear? Because I cannot find it, but I do not have either device.
    How/Where do you find it in the Video app?

  • I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.

    You can move the music to the new Mac from the iPad - if it is purchased from iTunes.
    Read this discussion. I think you should find it helpful.

    If it was not purchased but imported from CD's look for a third party app to do this - check out TouchCopy from Wide Angle Software

  • I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad.  We both have our own itunes accounts and music match wont let me put music on hers. how do i get around this?

    I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad.  All the music is under my itunes account yet she has her own itunes account so she can have her own apps and purchase apps with gift cards (She's only 9)
    I subscibe to music match under my account but it wont let me put my music on her ipad under hers or even my itunes account.  I get some sort of 90 day error message.  How do i get around this so I can let her have my music on her ipad?

    iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

  • I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
    Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
    Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
    If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
    Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.
