What's Up With The Word "The"

I installed iTunes 7.1 on my new computer and successfully transferred all my music - what a feat! Anyway, when I went to look for some songs that start with the word "The", they are not where "The" should be, for example, the song, The Best Is Yet To Come, is under B not T, anyone know of anyway to change this? It is interesting to note also that I made 2 playlists and in one playlist "The" is where it should be in one playlist but not another, and my sister has the same version of iTunes and hers does not do this, suggestions anyone?

for example, the song, The Best Is Yet To Come, is under B not T,
iTunes ignores "The" at the beginning of the Artist and Album.
It used to be this way only on the Artist name but at some point (7.0?) it was changed to include the Album name.
This is so you do not have 8,000 songs/artist under T.
Besides, Beatles and The Beatles will both be (and should be) in the same place.

  • ITunes's not ignoring the word "the" when sorting artists starting with THE

    Ive just bought my new mac, updated to the new iTunes version and transfered all of my songs to the iTunes library, but a problem appeared: iTunes is no longer ignoring the word "the" that comes before every band starting with the.
    What can i do to put it back the way it was before?

    That shouln't be happening.  If should start an automatic restore process.  You aren't holding down any keys when you click the restore button are you?  You shouldn't be.

    What's wrong with it?
    As one thing after more-than a month later on 22 March, Pages _refuses_ to alter the color of text.  How maddening this is:  I select text, I select a crayon, but the text _remains_ black.  < Pages is Incorrigible! :-( >

    Please help me out of this,,,,,....

    No, there is nothing you can do if you had not setup Find my iPhone on it.
    The bill and IMEI are useless for tracking a phone.

  • If I buy a MacBook pro now, what will happen with it once the Lion OS makes it's appearance? Will I need to buy a new one again?

    If I buy a MacBook pro now, what will happen with it once the Lion OS makes it's appearance? Will I need to buy a new one again?

    Lion will run on most Intel machines. It will not run on the following machines:
    MacBook Pro (sold before October 2006)
    MacBook (sold before November 2006)
    Mac Mini (sold before August 2007)
    iMac (sold before September 2006)
    It requires an Intel Core 2 Duo (or later CPU). Those machines listed above were all Intel Core Duo machines and with the exception of one of the Mac Minis, an Intel Core Solo. So we're talking 4+ year old machines. I have not tested Lion on a machine with anything less than 2GB of RAM.
    Wikipedia has a pretty good public summation of what's known so far and it's quite accurate - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Lion
    The biggest thing of note so far is that you cannot install/run Rosetta. Which maybe problematic for some users.

  • What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed?

    When running Second Life or Worlds of Warcraft or just quick browing... anything graphically intensive on the MacBook Pro, the machine slows to a crawl, eventually completely freezes up. The cursor doesn't move, pressing the Caps Lock key does not change the Caps Lock light and the machine is no longer reachable from any other machine on the network. The only means available to recover is to hold the power button down until the Mac powers off and then restart it. This doesn't happen when running XP through boot camp and windows client versions of these programs. What is wrong with OSX on the MacBook Pro and when will it be fixed? Thanks.

    I am not sure that this relevant to the discussion. But I am searching for anyone else who is seeing random freezes on 10.4. I usually don't see anything in the log after I have to do a hard reboot of the box. However, I have noticed some I/O messages when I have been able to console into an affected device, but have not captured to this point. Also, when I am able to console, the box will accept the login, but times out when trying to authenticate the password.
    I am also seeing a server freeze on my G4s. I am able to reproduce the problem with a clean install from the 10.4 disk. The issue is reproducible with tcpdump, dumpcap as well as tshark. I have also tried compiling the tools with different versions of libpcap. I am able to reproduce this problem every time with a packet generator sending small packets.
    It seems that the small packets aggravate the underlying cause. As the more small packets are sent the quicker I am able to reproduce the problem. With a mix of packet sizes, as seen in most networks, this issue is hard to reproduce. We have been using the G4 since 2003 as a packet analysis tool and it has been very stable up until we attempted to do analysis of a VOIP network with 10.4. The small RTP packets in conjunction with 10.4 seem to be the culprit.
    So far I am not able to reproduce the freeze on a 10.2 or 10.3 image. This is not isolated to bad hardware, as I have been able to reproduce on 4 different Xserves in my labs with similar configurations.
    I currently have a G4 set up in my lab and would be able to supply any info that may be needed to track down this issue. I have been thrust into administration on this box recently so I am not very familiar with debugging procedures on the Xserve or MacOS. However, I have the hardware and the test equipment that many in a production setting may not have at their disposal. So if anyone, with extensive knowledge of the Xserve or MacOS, is willing to work with me to track down this issue I am willing to do the leg work in the lab. I would appreciate any assistance that is available.

  • According to Mail, in five years I have never used the word "the"

    I wish apple would concentrate on making applications that work, like Mail. I'm trying to find a message in which a client gives me Pantone numbers for a brochure. Thank you Mail and Apple for making me waste my time. It can't even find the word 'the'. I know I'm using the stupid find procedure correctly and I've rebuilt, changed file permissions, run Onyx, run Disc Warrior, read the manual and everything else. Apple just makes lousy programs. Eudora worked better.

    Here's my problem:
    I'm looking at a mailbox I devote to all replies from a particular printer. One of the 100-odd messages in the mailbox says something with the word "the" in it. But if I write the word "the" in the search box top left, select the mailbox name along the top to limit the search to that mailbox and press return, I get no results. Zero. Nada. South of Zot. Zilch. Same for other words in other mailboxes. I can copy a word from a message, and paste it into the find box at top right, and the results are equivalent to the esteem in which I currently hold Apple.
    Thanks anyway.

  • Zen Micro frozen with the word the "Creative" stuck on the scr

    Yesterday, whil listening to music, my Zen froze up (understand, I just bought this a week ago). So. I tried to shut it off. Nothing. So. I took the battery out. When I put it back in, the word "Creative" stays stuck on my screen. I've tried taking the battery back out, putting it back in. Still the same thing. So. I tried hocking it back up to my computer. It doesn't even acknowledge the device. Nothing is working. What should I do?
    Brenda

    Brenda,
    Can you try getting the player into Recovery Mode? If it can't do that either, it's possible there is a hardware problem with the player (contact Customer Support for assistance). If you can get into Recovery Mode, try the Clean Up first.

  • 2 Qs: stripping the word "the"; how to label 540 tracks "holiday" (genre)

    I have so many tracks that have "a" or "the" as the first word, and this makes it extraordinarily difficult to find them with the scroll-wheel on my iPod (easier on iTunes, of course, but still annoying). The other problem is - how do you mass label tracks? If I want to grab all my holiday music and put "holiday" in the "genre" column, how do I do this?
    I'm using iTunes 6.0.5
    Thanks in advance.

    You can select more than one file at a time in the iTunes library... on a Mac, I believe you can do a shift click for consecutive files and an option click for random files. Then, click File > Get Info. This enables you to edit information for all songs that you currently have selected. You can now change the genre on all of them.
    As for the "a" and "the" I can't really think of any tips or tricks, other than removing that word from the file name. Which, doesn't sound like the best option.

  • What's wrong with videos in the iPod touch?

    Videos added to my iPod touch won't show up in iTunes. Thus, not only can I not know what videos I have from iTunes but, because of this, the only way to delete videos is from the iPod touch.
    I have a word around where I can create a playlist and put all my videos there. Unfortunately, I still can't delete them from iTunes because that will only remove them from the playlist.
    Finally, I'm afraid to modify any tag information for my videos. It takes an unacceptably long time for the information to update and you can corrupt your video if you cancel it with the stop button on the progress dialog. Seriously, it takes about as long as the video to update the tag of a video. So, an hour long video can take an hour to update the tag information.
    I've done a search and, so far, no one has described this strange behaviour. Do I just have a defective iPod touch?
    Thank you...

    No, I haven't. If simply adding videos to my iPod is so buggy, I'm afraid at what a complicated procedure like synching might do. I feel like the iPod is so delicate that any unexpected input will corrupt it irrevocably. I've already had to reset it due to data corruption (which wasn't fun)...
    If the device can't deal with manually added videos, why do they let us? Why not force us to synch like with photos? It's tempting to try to return it except that this can't be anything other than a software problem and no one else seems to have this issue. Am I the only person on Earth who doesn't sync? It's interesting that you automatically assumed that I was doing so. So much so that you interpreted my post as describing some form of synching, as if there was no other way to use one's iPod.
    I'm fairly disappointed in this infernal device...

  • Facebook has not been loading properly for me since Feb. 22/14. Can you please check what is wrong with Firefox. The web-site Facebook works fine on Safari.

    I've had issues with Facebook not loading certain areas of the web-site correctly or fully since Feb. 22. When I first go onto Facebook I am on the home page "news feed". Thing is when I click on the tab at the bottom of the news feed that says "see more", nothing is happening. It refuses to open the feed up to older posts which friends or myself have posted. Only about 6 - 8 posts at the max show on that home feed. That's it.
    My other issue, also in Facebook is when I go to access my "messages". First click on the tab "messages" brings up a white page. Then if I refresh the page to see if it will load, the messages page loads very weird. It shows the last message I may have replied to at the bottom of the screen, but over lapping on top of the list of previous messages to the left of the page. Plus the page appears extremely different than it should. Just like it's been re-formatted or whatever.
    Since these 2 issues started on Saturday afternoon I've switched over to the Safari browser on my iMac. On that browser Facebook is performing properly, as it should be. It's not overlapping messages. Plus the home feed isn't refusing to extend for me so that I may view older stories or posts by friends. All appears fine while accessing Facebook on the Safari browser. Not so while on Firefox. I am running the most up to date version of Firefox. "27.0.1" Plus I have a habit to clear the browser's history daily & restarting the browser as well as my iMac. So I do not believe those are my problems. I feel there may be something you guys there at Firefox should look into on this.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

    Thank you.

  • What's Up with Firefox and the way it displays sites?

    Just wondering what is going on with Firefox? My site looks fine in both Safari and Google Chrome, however when I look at it in Firefox for some reason two of my links are covered up by the contact box that I have at the bottom of the navigation bar.
    In Firefox both the Events and Blog links are covered by this box, but are fine in Safari and Google Chrome, as you will see.
    What can I do about this - http://www.bodycentred-therapy.com

    I gave up on Firefox a good while back and now use Chrome more and more.
    I downloaded the latest V 3.6.13 of Firefox a couple of days ago and it doesn't seem much better. Having said that I haven't looked at V 4 beta at all. It might be worth your while trying your site in that version to see if the cause of the problem is something they may be trying to fix.
    I was trying an experiment putting the code for several single music players into one HTML Snippet and discovered that Firefox chops the bottom off and I had to add a line or two of code to force it to expand downwards.

    Re: Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!

    Recommended
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • What's up with all of the additional charges to the bundle price?

    My bundle price was quoted at $117 per month but there is about $50 in charges added to that for the final bill.  How did I fall for this, and what questions did I miss asking when I signed up?
    Thanks for the feedback.

    " will this be prorated ? " is the question you didnt ask
    and yes it will be.
    example, you sign up for service on the 15th and the billing date is on the 30th:
    This will make it so your next bill will have charges from the 15th to the 30th AND for the next month ( verizon always bills a month in advance)
