When I sync my iPhone5 to iTunes, the songs in my playlists don't show up in order, and I can't reorder them on the phone.

This is a real problem for me, since I listen to a lot of Original Broadway Cast albums, and the songs need to be ordered correctly.  What am I doing wrong, and how can I fix it?  When I sync to my iPad, the songs all sync in the correct order!

Normal Playlist:
Take screen shot of playlist
delete the playlist on itunes
sync phone
go to 'music' on the left hand menu
go to 'file'
go to 'new'
click 'playlist'
recreate the playlist using the screen shot
resync phone
Smart Playlists:
right click playlist title in the menu on the left
click 'edit smart playlist'
take screen shot of edit window
delete playlist
sync phone
go to 'music' on the left hand menu
go to 'file'
go to 'new'
click 'smart playlist'
recreate the playlist using the screen shot
resync phone

    I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices. 

  • Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

    1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
    If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
    2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
    3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
    4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

  • I just sync my apps from itunes to my iphone but app don't show up on my phone

    Please help me i just sync my apps from itunes to my iphone but app don't show up on my phone

    I thought I resolved it, but the problem came back! And this time, re-starting Muse didn't help.
    I was creating a vertical line to separate the sidebar from the main area, and when I extended the line down to where the footer guide is, the page started to expand and the navigation bar at the top started growing, while the links disappeared again. Now all links from the master page are again missing from every page but the master.
    When I undid it, the navbar went back to its normal depth, but the text links in it did not return.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this?
    Also, it really wasn't my intention for the navigation bar to grow vertically as the page grows. Is there a way to prevent that?

  • I have downloaded new ringtones for my iphone but my itunes dashboard does not show ringtones on it , so i can't put them on my phone.

    i have downloaded new ringtones for my iphone but my itunes dashboard does not show ringtones on it , so i can't put them on my phone.Am i doing something wrong.The ringtones were bought from i tunes.

    Tones is the new name for Ringtones. If the entry is missing in the left-hand column of iTunes then enable it from Edit > Preferences > General tab.
    If your existing tones are not syncing properly to your iOS device then uncheck the option to Sync Tones from the Tones tab when the device is connected, sync the device, check the option and sync again.

  • Hi, we are a small clinic that uses the iPads for therapy. If we purchase an app for one iPad, can all of them download the same app at no additional cost?

    Allan was somewhat incomplete in his statement. While technically it would be possible, from a licensing standpoint you need one license for each iPad unless those iPads were all going to be used by the same person (which I think unlikely given your described use). Here are the relevant terms of the iTunes Store agreement (emphasis mine):
    "(ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control. For example, a single employee may use an App Store Product on both the employee's iPhone and iPad, or multiple students may serially use an App Store Product on a single iPad located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each iOS Device used serially by multiple users requires a separate license."
    So you would legally need to purchase one copy of the app for each iPad, something which would require an iTunes Store account for each iPad. For normal purchases, each iTunes Store account would need an associated credit card or prepaid iTunes card.
    The Volume Purchase Plan works similarly - you still need one license and one iTunes Store account for each iPad - but the purchasing is centralized so you don't get billed multiple times. You get one recemption code for each license you purchase. See:

  • I have photos from my computer saved on my Iphone and I can't delete them from the app photos. How can I delete them?

    I have photos from my computer saved on my Iphone and I can't delete them from the app photos. How can I delete them?

    You'll have to deselect the photos in the photo pane in iTunes on your computer and then sync the phone again, this will delete photos that have not been taken with the phone but synced from the computer.

  • All of my tools in PS 6 have a "cross" icon and I can't use them, like the clone tool.  I have reset all tools to no avail.  The bracket keys do not change the size.  Any help?

    Yep, I discovered that.  Thank you very much for the prompt and accurate reply.

  • I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod shuffle it rearranged the tracks so that they are in the wrong order.  How can I put them in the order they appear in the book?

    I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod Shuffle it put the chapters in the wrong order i.e. Chap 1, Chap 10, Chap 11 etc. rather than Chap 1, Chap 2, Chap 3 ...  How can I get it to put them in the order they appear in the book?

    First, we need to know if the audiobook chapters are being treated by iTunes as music files or as audiobooks. If they are not audiobooks purchased from the iTunes store, they might be getting "shuffled". You will need to look at "File" - "Properties" (I think - I don't use iTunes under Windows - or right-click on the file and choose "properties") and look at the media type. If it is "Music", change it to "Audiobook". If this is not the problem, or does not fix anything, please post back.
    Actually, looking at your post again, a second thought occurs to me - assuming there are less than 100 chapters in the book, just renaming them with a leading zero on the first nine chapters might do it. A computer will alphabetically sort filenames in the order you quote (1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... 2, 21, etc.) but a leading zero will fix that (01, 02, 03 ... 10, 11, 12)

  • Ok so we bought an ipodtouch for my daughter and when she connected to the computer all of a sudden she lost all her pics and she can no longer connect to the app store on  her ipod.. any suggestions why and what can be done?

    ok so we bought an ipod touch for my daughter and when she connected it to the computer after she downloaded itunes, she was asked if it was her ipod or a new one, so she clicked on her ipod and lost all her recent pics plus is unable to locate the app store on her safari on her ipod touch. any suggestions as to what went wrong or what should be done ? should we restore or what?
    much appreciated if there is anyone else who had this happen to them.

    - The iPod got erased since it sounds iTunes identified that the iPod has been synced with another computer and she said yes to making this computer her syncing computer. It could also she restored the iPod from the backup of another iPod, iPhone or iPad that was in iTunes. If in iTunes you go to Preferences>Devices is there a backup listed for her iPod with a date/time when she first connected the iPod to the computer. If so then restore the iPod from that backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Note synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup,
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Regarding the App store. The App store is not in Safari. It is a separate app. Also, could the Apple store be hidden by Restrictions? Settings>General>Restrictions. Further, can you find the App store via the Spotlight search on the iPod?

  • When I download pictures from my camera, they turn out a nice big size in iPhoto; other pictures that have been e-mailed to me or imported from older libraries/other computers show up small.  Why is this, and how can I make them all the larger size?

    When I download pictures from my digital camera into iPhoto, they turn out a nice large size (usually almost the full screen), but when somebody e-mails me pictures and I import them into iPhoto, or when I transfer old photos from an old library into my new iPhoto library, they turn out very small--not exactly thumbnail-size, but too small to use for calendars or photo books.  I don't know much about computers, so I don't know how this happened.  Also, I can't find any discernible pattern to why this happens with some pictures and not others--ie: what I described above is usually true, but I have had e-mailed photos or old photos turn out the way I want them, which is in the larger size in iPhoto.  Why is this happening, and how can I make all the pictures the larger size?

    Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

  • I'm editing a band deleting songs, then suddenly it deleted all of the songs by an artist!  It's happened twice. Once I tried to restore them from the recycle bin but it did'nt work.  The 2nd time the songs were not in the recycle bin.  Why?

    I'm editing a band by deleting songs I do not like on iTunes on my PC. When I believe I'm deleting a song it ends up deleting ALL of the songs by that band (this is after I've deleted many individual songs sucessfully)!  This has happened twice since the new version of iTunes.  The first time I tried to restore the songs from my recycle bin but they just vanished when I tried to restore them.  The second time (today)  the songs were not even in the recycle bin.  Has this happened to anyone else out there? I have to now relocate all of those cd's and then reinstall them and go through them and put songs back onto various playlists (I have a lot of them).  Hassle!!!

    Time you backed up so you can recover in the event of a crisis.

  • My Bookmarks aren't working, even after following many troubleshooting recommendations, other than the one where I'd loose my, possibly already lost, bookmarks and how can I get them back?

    I am on a iMac using Firefox 3.6.3, and my "Bookmarks" are not working properly after my last upgrade. When I go to "Organize Bookmarks" the boxes for name, tags, visit date, etc. are blank and the arrows are gray. Just in case my Bookmarks are hidden, I tried to restore them by going to the Library window. However Firefox did not ask me "to save the bookmark backup to a folder" on my hard drive as stated in your article "Restoring bookmark backups" 2.2.) Number 4 of the same article tells me how "to restore one of the listed backups" and when I tried this I was told Firefox is "unable to process the backup file." I also tried to go to "Choose File" from the Restore Menu (instead of automatic backup) and clicked on Applications and then Firefox just to see what would happen and was told applications is an "unsupported file type". Also, FYI Torbutton is not installed on my iMac. I don't want to "Create a new places database" without knowing that my Bookmarks are in fact backed up, especially since I received the above message. I was wondering if should uninstall the 3.6.3 and just go back to the 3.6.2. It seems that Firefox updates have a history of wreaking havoc on the older programs. Do you recommend waiting to update until I have gotten feed back as to problems it creates?

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • My school (Washington State University - Angel website) is showing up as "Untrusted" and I can't access any of the content, how do I bypass this?!!?

    I am getting a "This Connection is Untrusted" Error when I log into my school's classroom website, and therefore cannot access any of the content I need for my class. This is a new problem, I just had to reinstall Mozilla when I upgraded my hard drive, it worked two days ago, but not today. Does anyone know why this would happen, or how I can circumvent this? The only option allowed to me is to "Get me out of here!" which is the exact opposite of what I need it to do.

    Check the date and time in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
    Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details to expand this section.<br>If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
    You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
    *Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    *Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
    You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
    If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
    Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
