Why Are Most Of My PlayLists Out Of Order?

Shuffle is off on all of them and I only have the little arrow to the far left highlighted. All but 3 of them are completely out of order and some of them have over 1200 songs so I'm not inclined to manually put them back in order. How can I fix this? What's causing it?

You could still go back and see what's in the folder "Previous Itunes Libraries". iTunes puts a copy there every time its version gets updated, and it has a date stamp in the title.   Like itunes Library 2010-07-29 would be from last July 29th.
You can get to it by closing itunes, then press the option key to start it again. You'll get asked to choose a library and you can go through them and see if one of them has the right order.

  • Why are most apps only for apple products?

    Why are most apps only for Apple products.???
    why aren't most of the apps developed for other systems?

    I am equally disappointed by the lack of Android support.
    Just a guess as to why there is so little support for Android ... I'd bet that Adobe is slow to release Android apps because Android is fragmented with a very broad range of versions out there.  Even if Android device owners want to upgrade to the latest version of Android, they usually can't get an upgrade -- this may be a problem with the device manufacturer (there are many of them), a mobile carrier or even Google.
    iOS devices only have 1 company involved in the update process: Apple.  Since iOS is a closed platform - controlled by 1 company who pushes identical updates to most devices - it is a lot easier to maintain a reliable app for iOS users.
    I don't want to switch to iOS devices, but I may have to until Adobe steps up its Android development.

  • Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

    I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

  • Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?

    Why are most of my keywords not included when I export images?
    Since starting with Lightroom 1, I've entered keywords into either of the two fields between "keyword tags" and "keyword suggestions" in the keywording panel.  I was unaware that some keywords are more equal than others, or that Lightroom offered (or has added?) hierarchy support.
    I recently stumbled into the news (to me) that Lightroom tags can be organized into a hierarchy, so I exported my keywords to a text file to examine.  I hadn't unwittingly created any hierarchies, but an astounding fraction of the keywords were within square brackets.  Sure enough, if I export an image, keywords within square brackets are omitted from the output (jpeg) file.  How nice.  Since I began with Lightroom 1, I've added nearly 1600 keywords.. Too bad most of them are coded wrong... so as not to accompany output that I create.
    1.     What was I supposed to do, as a photographer beginning to use Lightroom, to enter keywords simply but reliably:  what I type is what I get? I'd expected that's what the "just type here" interface would provide.
    I especially dislike obtaining erratic results:  most keywords are in square brackets, but a few are not.  Of course, when I use a simplified interface, I should expect not to have access to some of the options or features.  However, I shouldn't inadvertently trigger undocumented behavior.
    2.     Does the Adobe reference help system say how to enter keywords simply and reliably, in its documentation of the keywording panel? I don't find my answer under the Keywords topic, within Home / Using Photoshop Lightroom 3 / Organizing photos in the catalog.
    (I NOW realize that the instructions for the "Create/Edit keyword tags" dialog mention exporting. However, that's not the method I was using.)

    I'm afraid that I distracted you with my background mention of hierarcharial keywords; I'm not asking about them.
    I've entered keywords for several years of using Lightroom.  Suddenly, this week, I find that most (yet not all) of them have the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata."  I never intended to ask for that; I thought all keywords will stay with the file and its offspring, and that's what I wanted.
    So I'm asking:
    1.     What did I do "wrong" to induce Lightroom to give the keywords that attribute? I never intended to ask it to.
    2.     Where does Adobe document how to enter keywords reliably so that they stay with the file on output?  I can't find that Adobe does.
    > Can you be more clear about keywords in square brackets? I know when you export the keywords as a list you can get a normalized data file that uses punctuation and tabs as delimiters...
    I did export the keywords into such a list:  most keywords in the plain-text list have square brackets surrounding them, indicating keywords that will be omitted from metadata of any image that Lightroom exports.
    My concern is not that the brackets are there.  They encode the attribute of "don't include the keyword in an exported file's metadata," and recognizing that attribute concerns me.
    > ...but I've never seen keywords in image files or in the interface rendered so.
    I haven't, either.

  • Why are most of the links on Oracle's site that relate to Java broken?

    Why are most of the links on Oracle's site that relate to Java broken? For example, try searching for SocketChannel and then clicking on any of the returned links, in particular click on www.oracle.com/technetwork/servers-storage/ts-4222-159193.pdf.
    This is the second time I have tried to search for Java information and both times found broken links.
    Does anyone know where I can find more information on using a SocketChannel?

They have a huge investment in it and would need to replace or discontinue a number of products that they paid quite a bit of money for.
    On the other hand in might just be that they don't much about providing support that doesn't lead to revenue. Thus support contracts have a support channel while public links get little support.

  • In iTunes under my device, under the apps tab, Why are all the options shaded out?  I cannot make any changes, select any apps or do anything with the apps.  I was able to load a few apps and sync but cannot sync anymore to my phone.

    Hi,
    ( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
    So the menu bar reads iChat, File,  Edit,  View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
    There is no Buddy List open.
    There is no other window for iChat open.
    In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
    Is an item ticked in the list ?
    Is this a green (Available item) or  Red ( an Away one) ?
    Can you access the Accounts option ?  (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
    Is anything in here ticked ?
    In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list  (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
    It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
    If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
    As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option  (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
    Type in:-
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
    Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
    This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.

    Why are most of the sounds not available? eg no steinway or yamaha pianos, virtually no guitars...

    Hi
    Assuming that you purchased Logic from the Appstore, did you download all the additional content?
    Go to the Logic Pro menu and choose "Download Additional Content".... there's loads to download, so it is probably best to do it in batches.

  • Why are my apps kicking me out

    Why are my applications kicking me out and sending back to the home screen? Also, my battery dies much faster than normal

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Why are some of my songs not in order in my albums?

    I was wondering why are some of my songs not in order in my albums? This wasn't a problem when I first used i-tunes, but I had to download a newer version of i-tunes to get my sister's ipod to work.  For Example my album "AC DC Live" has track #3 Back in Black as the first song listed.  How can this be fixed?

    Hello igho234,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. You don't mention how those songs got onto your playlist, but this article may address your issue, if they were imported from a third-party application or CD.

  • Why are my Smart playlists out of order in iOS 5?

    Since upgrading to iOS 5 on an iPad and iPhone 4 (Verizon), many (not all) of my smart playlists made in iTunes are out of order in both my iPad and iPhone (meaning the songs within the lists are our of order not the lists themselves).  Somtimes the playlists vary even between my iPad and iPhone, not just with iTunes.
    I tried a couple of workarounds I found on the web:
    1) I've unchecked Live Updating on my affected Smart playlists, but it only seemed to work on some of them. 
    2) Resorting the Smart playlists in iTunes by a different order, like Album, Name, or Artists seemed to work for others.
    Still, some of the smart playlists on my iPad and iPhone have resisted even these solutions and stubornly will not sort to the order I have them in iTunes. 
    My iPad has now more smart playlists synced correctly than my iPhone, yet, i have the same sync settings for both of them.  I've been trying to find the rhyme or reason behind the mangled sort order but haven't a clue.  Anyone else experiencing such strange behavior with smart playlists since upgrading to iOS 5? Is this a bug or just some setting I am missing?

    Created a similar post about 1 month ago - with no response...its driving me crazy too! Would love a fix!

  • Why are the emails I sent out being held in my outbox, and how do I resend them

    why are the emails that I have sent out not going to the recepiants but instead being held in my outbox, and how do I resend them?

    This problem is generally caused by not having a connection to the ISP mail sender (send and receive authenticate and operate independently).

  • Ipod touch playlists out of order

    I have many playlists, several of which are smart playlists for specific albums.  The tracks used to play in order of the album, but now cannot get them to stay in order.  When I synch, I see the songs go back to their original order for a split second, but when syncing is done, they go out of order again.  I've tried deleting the playlist, syncing, loading it again, syncing again...no dice.  And, no, the shuffle is not turned on.  My touch has worked perfectly for several years now, and just started this.  How do I fix this?  Was there a bug in the last updates??  All the forums I see are years old.  This is driving me nuts, please help.

    Have you shuffled the playlist? My syncs correctly.

  • All playlists out of order

    I have a problem with most of my playlists being out of order. I have my music on an external hard drive and I drag them from here directly onto my iPOD via iTUNEs. In iTUNES they appear in order - if I connect my iPOD to my powerbook and play via my computer everything is fine. However, as soon as I disconnet my iPOD and listen through my headphones everything is out of order.
    Any ideas how to fix this?
    Michael.

    Please clarify, is the problem with the order of the songs within the playlists, or is the problem with the order of the +playlist names+ ?
    If the order of songs in the playlists is the problem, sort them how you like in iTunes, then right-click (Windows) on the playlist name and select "Copy to play order" to make the song order permanent. You'll then need to re-sync your iPod to get the updated track order. If you manually manage your iPod, do the above directly on the playlist on your iPod while connected to iTunes.
    If the order of +playlist names+ is the problem, that seems to be a bug with the new models that has not been fixed yet. The order seems to default to the order in which the playlists were created, not alphabetic as you'd expect.

  • IPod playlists out of order

    In iTunes, all the songs on a CD are still in the correct order and list the track numbers.
    But on my iPod, some albums are out of order. I checked and the iPod is not on shuffle in any way. I just browse to the artist and album, but the songs aren't even listed in the correct order.
    I restored the iPod but that did not fix the problem.
    What can I do to fix this problem?
    Dell Inspiron 600m   Windows XP Pro  

    well I figured out what the problem was. some tracks of the album had "Album Artist" or "Composer" listed, and the iPod was sorting those first. Pretty lame, but I'm glad I figured it out.

  • I bought and downloaded Elements from the app store. Why are most of the items prayed out?

    Why is it that Adobe Photoshop Elements 12, downloaded via the App store shows all items on the file menu grayed out?

    No, you bought Photoshop Elements Editor when you bought it from the app store. No organizer. You don't import photos, merely use File>Open to get them into the editor. You can't access your iphoto library because that's not how you do it. The iphoto library is a proprietary database for iphoto's own use and poking around in it from outside iphoto is the fastest way to corrupt it and lose all your pics. If you use iphoto you have two choices:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor in iphoto and send the photos from there. Save, not Save As and iphoto will remember your original plus the last saved edits, although you must lose the edits to revert to the original again. If you see the Save As window, it's not going to work. You may need to set the PSE prefs>saving files>on first save to Save Over Original to get this working.
    2. Export the photos from iphoto, edit the exports and save them, making all the changes you want, then import the edited pics back to iphoto as new files.
