Why album start with artist name?

HELP!! I am using Itunes 10.6.0.40 with a classic ipod (80 GB). I am running it on a Dell with Windows 7. When I look in Itunes, everything looks ok BUT there appears to be some VERY strange behavior when it comes to the album names. When I click on Music under Library everything looks ok. However, when I click on the Ipod (when connected) under Devices, select Music (after Summary), choose "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" as opposed to "Entire music library" the list of albums shows EVERY SINGLE album beginning with the artists name (see attached photo). Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix it?

My article on Grouping tracks into albums should touch on the all of the issues somewhere.
The iOS firmware uses Album Artist as an extra field to glue tracks together and makes no use of the Compilations flag. For compilation albums (different artists) set the Album Artist as Various Artists, or something like OST Cast, as well as setting Part of compilation to Yes. For albums by a single Album Artist make use sure to fill in the Album Artist field, particularly if the Artist field on some tracks lists guest artists, and then set Part of compilation to No. On the device make sure that Settings > Music > Group By Album Artist is On.
I've no experience with in-car hook-up systems but the above should get your iPod touch organized sensibly.
Keep iTunes Media folder organized allows iTunes to rearrange your media in response to any changes you make to the tags. Generally I recommend that people let it do its thing, though personally I prefer to retain full control over the structure of my media files, despite the extra effort this entails. What is a good idea, if you like things your way, is to organize everything within the iTunes Media folder as this makes life much easier if you want to relocate the library to a bigger drive at some point, and makes it easier to back up. You needed this advice at the outset however, as rearranging your media your way once it has been imported will leave iTunes confused. The only other potential drawback with letting iTunes keep things organized is if you accidentally mass edit, say the album titles to nothing, there is no way short of restoring a backup to recover the lost information. If the files hadn't been reorganised then much of the data could have been restored with a tag editor. As long as you backup properly this drawback need not worry you...

Not able open any apple website (starting with the name apple) on any of the browser(safari, Opera..etc) on my MacBook pro

Hello Everybody,
Few months back I have upgraded my OS to latest Mountain Lion version.
I am facing a unique problem for last1 month. I am not able to open any of the apple website starting with the name "Apple" such as apple.com, http://www.apple.com/mac/, http://www.apple.com/ipod/ etc but I am successfuly able to open http://store.apple.com/ (as you can see this is not starting with apple but starting with store).
I have reseted my safari, tried different browser such Opera, but not successful.
Can you please provide a solution for this?
thanks

Hi I have same prob on a client's Macbook Pro and iMac both on 10.5.8 (but problem there before update). Have deleted all cookies (and preferences and cookie database etc), history etc but problem reappears after 3 or links are clicked on www.apple.com site. If I clear cookies problem goes away again only to come back. Have tried creating a new user account - same problem! tried archive and install of OS X, same problem still. tried two different internet connections - same problem. problem not limited to web browsers either - iTunes has issues and client had his iPhone lock itself because he could not connect to apple to verify the device when he installed a software update. Major headache. Any ideas would be great!

Searching by artist name does not show songs with artists name in song title

If i search by an artist's name in itunes, it does not display songs by a different artist that have the artist's name in the song title, such as remixes that have a parenthesis, then the searched artist's name after with no space in between, like it used to. For example, I searched "Munchi" (artist name), and it showed songs listing munchi as the artist, but not songs with munchi in the title. In the old itunes, if I searched "munchi", the list of songs would include the song Chicken Lover (Munchi likes 'em fried moombahton remix), which is a song by the artist "bassanova", but now that song and songs like that (remixes) in which the artist im searching has their name in the song title but not as the song artist, are not included. This is a serious problem for me as it leaves out alot of songs which the searched artist has collaborated on out. In the old itunes i would get a list of any song which had the word "munchi" in any field, whether or not the word munchi had any letters or symbols before or after it.

this will answer your question:

[solved] Bash shell... does not start with user name, but used to...!

when I start a console, logged in as user, it always used to start with
user@hostname ~$
Suddenly, and I cannot recall having done anything that could lead to the issue, konsole will always start as
bash3.2$
even after many reboots, this is still the case.
whoami shows my user name. I can su to root, and from there to my username, but never directly from bash.
Occasionally, starting a program like KDE partition manager fails with the error message the program su could not be found. but it is as I said occasional.
I am quite a newbie to Linux, so I am clueless. Can someone help me..? I tried googling, but I seem to be the only one in the WWW that goofed up to such an extent..! and searches are quite unrevealing.
I am installing Linux From scratch using arch linux as base system, but I am just following The Book to the letter and don't think that caused the problem.

@weasel8...
That is THE trouble. And I take back my words, it was during the linux from scratch install that I botched that file...! I was supposed to make a new bashrc file in the LFS directory, but I went wrong on the commands and I think I ended up removing the Arch Linux file...!
If it is to be found, it should be in the etc directory, right..? I looked there and could not find it. Did I look in the right place...?
What can I do...?

Why SIDs start with 2 in master data S Tables?

Hello All,
When we create infoobjects, S table(/BIC/S...) is created to store SIDs and respective values.
However, these SIDs start with 2 and not 1.
Please, can anyone tell what is reason for this.

Hi,
This is happening due to number range maintainance for SID values in your system.
Check below article for more information,
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c0a6e3ff-f000-2d10-b59d-8ef35e248f83?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]

Oracle deleting rows from tables starting with the name PQ

hai friends
we are given access rights to delete only tables starting with PQ. HAVING PQ_NUM as primary key for all the PQ tables.
totally we have 6 tables. PQ_01,PQ_02, PQ_03,PQ_04,PQ_05,PQ_06.
ALL This tables will have one primary key. for example pq_01 willl have pq01_num as primarykey and pq_02 table will have pq02_num as primary
key.
pq01_num value will exist in all the primary key of pq tables.
i want query to delete rows from the pq tables based on the input value i give.
for example if i give primarykey value 122 then that value in pq tables should be deleted.
One more problem is there. pq_06 table does not have pq02_num column. here the column differs. it is pq06_num_req.
so give your idea of deleting the rows from pq tables

Burning with Artist names

Hi ... When I use Itunes to burn songs onto a disk I see they are listed as track , How can I have this to show the Artist name instead of track ? Thanks

Hi Terry,
edit>preferences>advanced>burning>check "include CD text">ok
After you have set your preferences, when you burn a CD BEFORE ejecting it. Click on it to select it, then in the iTunes main window go to
Advanced>Submit CD track names>fill any required info>submit
This sends the CD info to the GraceNote data base that iTunes uses so the next time you insert this disk GraceNote recognises it.

Itunes 11 sorts album under different artists name in the artist view - any idea why?

I have just be kindly given the Maroon 5 Holiday gift via 12 days (thanks iTunes). I also have their album 'songs about Jane' and a track from a Rihanna album which is a Maroon 5 track featuring Rihanna but issued on the Rihanna album.
When sorted by Album the Maroon 5 albums and Rihanna track are sorted together under Maroon 5.
However, when sorted by Artist the artist for the Album 'Songs about Jane' is being shown as Rihanna (?) but when I check the 'Get Info' data Maroon 5 are clearly shown as the Album Artist. The holiday gift and the Rihanna track are shown under the artist Maroon 5.
Wierd ... any ideas why and how to correct?

Wish I did. I tried the group function but that didn't help in iTunes. The search function is the best I came up with. I can answer the question do you have susch and such artist. But I can't browse for an artist I don't remember exactly or have misspelled. Fortunately I don't think I've bought anything from iTunes that i already had. If you can't see an artist it's possible you think you don't have something you actually do have. Sorry, still hoping for a better work around or better yet a fix.

Having trouble editing song titles, album titles and artists names.

does anyone know how this can be changed WITHOUT uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes? i was able to edit before but i'm not able to now....

i have the same problem but i cannot change the permissions of the folder.
it allows me to unlike the read only box and apply to all sub folders and files and click ok.
But reopen it and check the permissions and its back to read only again.

ITunes 12: use 'Artist' name in "Artists view" rather than 'Album Artist'?

I.e. if I have an album with artist name X and album artist name Y it seems to sort by Y (the album artist name) in "Artists" view (i.e. the one with the pictures on the left)…is there a way to make it use the artist name (X) instead?
Say artist is "Johann Sebastian Bach", and album artist is "Sviatoslav Richter" (i.e. performer), I would rather it came in under "Johann Sebastian Bach" in the artists view, rather than "Sviatoslav Richter".
…the obvious solution is to switch X with Y, while laborious it does work, however, the problem is then when you have an album were a performer plays a bunch of different composers, this messes things up (breaks up the album in "Albums" and just makes a mess in general)…
In "Songs" view you can just switch between "Use Album Artists" and normal Artists…but in "Artists" view there appears to be no such setting and it seems Album Artist overrides Artist...

Artist name does not appear in artist list but album name is in album list - Ipod Classic 160gb

For an album I have imported onto my iPod from iTunes, the album name is in the Album list but the Artist name is not on the Artist list. I have tried deleting the album from the iPod and re-adding from ITunes but the same result. It is a single artist album, so the artist name is exactly the same for each track; all the tracks are there. Big nuisance as I use artist name a lot to find specific albums.

this did not work for me,
Possibly because your problem (you say) was the album name. The original post was about the artist name and is therefore a different problem.
ecb31 wrote:
...I had to fill in the Album for each song, then it showed on my ipod, for ones I did ot know, I just put bloody apple.
Huh?
Let me get this right, you had lots of songs without the album name in them, so you filled in the album name yourself - if you knew the album name. If you didn't know the album name, you then entered the same text on all the rest of those songs. So now, you must have a lot of songs all on the same album, even though they're not meant to be - and - you've put text in to a lot of your songs that will remind you forevermore, of just how unhappy you are.
Well! &
My question to you is; where did you get the songs from, that they came without the correct information in them?
If you imported them from a CD, iTunes will go and get the information for you.
If you bought the songs from the iTunes Store, or another music retailer, the information is in the digital file that you purchased.
How therefore, does so much of your music appear to be incomplete?
Am I missing something, or have you simply failed to explain the porblem properly?

Album cover, artist name

Does any guys have the same questions? after matched or uploaded and downloaded the new ones, all album cover all artist name remains the old ones, just changed to AAC format from my precendent 320kbs mp3. It's not the Genius musics at all. *****

I am not aware of any way to search by album cover.
If you know anything at all about the song, such as a few words of the lyrics, a web search may turn it up.
You can browse in the iTunes Store in the relevant genres and see if the same album cover appears.
Also, if you hear it again, use Shazam or other ID program on your smartphone to identify it by its audio content.

Is there a way to view both the album and the artist in an ipod?

Is there a way to view both the album and the artist name on an ipod? there are a zillion albums called "The very best of..." or obscure names like "fireflies" and until you start playing the songs you have no idea who the artist is.

Error while restoring database with different name on subscriber

Hi all,
I am using merge replication in sql server 2008R2. Yesterday I wanted to create a test environment, so
I did:
1. on publisher I restored from backup production db with another name ( lets call it TEST and new files
.mdf, .ldf and no switch KEEP_REPLICATION). After this step original replication between production
dbs worked fine.
2. on subscriber I did the same: restore as new db TEST with new
files .mdf, .ldf and no switch KEEP_REPLICATION.
Unfortunately I noticed, that after second step replication stopped. SQL agent replication job on Subscriber
is gone.
Why restoring db with new name did affect original replication?
Finally the most important: replication was set up by external company and I have to bring it to live now
but I don't know this subject so good. How can I do it?
Assuming, that there is no data change on subscriber in replicated tables is it enough when I select ‘reinitialize’
on Publisher and Subscriber?
Thanks in advance
Artur

Hello,
Sorry for late response, but I was out of the office during last week.
Regarding problem 1: restoring replication. I contacted guy who made originally our replication and he recreated subscription agent. So this is solved.
problem 2: why did it happen?
Lydia, in link which you provided I found only info about restoring db in replication, but I didn't want to restore replication.
I checked SQL Server and Server Agent logs and there were no entries on that time. The only entries are regarding db restoring. Below:
09/11/2014 12:45:59,Backup,Unknown,Database was restored: Database: Logik_ATData_TEST<c/> creation date(time): 2012/04/27(13:55:41)<c/> first LSN: 21392:66:267<c/> last LSN: 21392:227:1<c/> number of dump devices: 1<c/> device information: (FILE=1<c/> TYPE=DISK: {'D:\MSSQLBackup\Dzienny\Logik_ATData_PROD\Logik_ATData_PROD_backup_2014_09_10_231001_6391536.bak'}).

09/11/2014 12:44:51,spid72,Unknown,Starting up database 'Logik_ATData_TEST'.
In Windows application log there were also no other entries, besides these above.
I also could not check job history, because the job was gone in SSMS jobs list, while the subscription was present in SSMS Replication with info, that last successful synchronization was at 12:42 (there is a 5 min. sync period).
I also don't understand how the job was deleted, because according this manual (http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1803/auto-alert-for-sql-agent-jobs-when-they-are-enabled-or-disabled/) I have 2 triggers in sysjobs table and every time, when
job is deleted/disabled I got @ notification. In this case I got no @.
My SQL Server version:
Product_Version Product_Level Edition
10.50.2550.0 SP1 Standard Edition (64-bit)
Any idea what happened?
Thanks,
Artur
