Why can't I sort music?

Why can't I sort music on my iPod when it's connected to PC? I can sort the music in my library by any column.

I have the same issue since the latest update. I can no longer sort my music by song title on my iPad. When I click on "Songs", it is sorted by Artist. The songs aren't even sorted alphabetically by artist in this mode. I checked on my computer and I have my music "Library" sorted by song title, not by artist.
This is very frustrating when trying to locate a song title.
Any help?

Why can't I sort songs with !'s next to titles??

Why can't I sort songs with !'s next to titles (meaning these songs don't exist in Library but actually do)? I really don't want to scroll through 5,000 titles to remove these items.

Hi mitzlet,
When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

Why can I not order music from other countries

Hello,
why can I not order music from either germany or austria if the canadian itunes does not have it?
I don't mind paying in euros or paypal, which ever.
I think the stores should be compatable or should allow buying from another country.
Thanks, Ingo

The short answer is that the content owners do not allow Apple to sell content across country borders. It's not by Apple's choice.
Regards.

Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this only happened recently

Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this has only happened recently ?

O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
I don't know what happened but this is the results....
After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?

Why can't i purchase music from an overseas store

Why can't I purchase music from the US ITunes Store when based in AUS. I can't even find the music I want in searches unless i search overseas.

This has been covered here many times already, but once again: Apple has no choice in the matter. It's due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders. Quoting from This Business of Music (10th Edition) (by M. William Krasilovsky and Sydney Shemel et. al, Random House LLC 2007) (and thanks to the Mimico Kid for the reference) :
The difficulty of establishing workable business models for digital files (...) extends to where they are sold and where they are played. This is the issue of territoriality, and it is an illustration of how the Internet makes it necessary to reexamine basic assumptions that have been taken for granted (...).
(....) In the music business the primary problem is that copyrights are national and therefore specific rights are tied to national laws and the interpretations of national courts.
(.... T)hough we can one day hope to see the development of common standards with respect to copyright, the fact that the music business is building upon a history of nation-specific contractual relationships means that the goal of universal international standards is not, for the forseeable future, a practical one.
(...) Adding to the difficulty (...) the copyrights themselves may have been assigned to different companies in different territories. The best hope for a cleaner start and a simpler future is worldwide recognition that digital uses are in fact - and should be in law - totally new.
The content owners don't like cross-border sales of CDs either, but there's nothing they can do to stop such sales. They can, though, and do stop cross-border download sales, since if the download stores refuse, the rights holders won't license the tracks to that store.
So unless and until the record companies, et. al, all get together and agree to allow download stores to sell cross-border, there's absolutely nothing Apple or any other download store can do.

Why can't I get music from my computer on to my ipod?

I have the music I need from a CD on my PC. I can not get the music to then transfer to my iPod. The computer is authorized, but I have never been able to transfer music. Please help.

Your computer should not need to be authorised in order to put music from CDs onto your iPod.

How do you try to put the music onto the iPod, are you using the Sync method or are you using Manually Manage?
You have imported this CD music into your iTunes Library, haven't you? (I see no mention of iTunes, which is why I ask.)
Even more basic, you have installed iTunes on your PC, haven't you?

Why can't I delete music from my iphone using itunes match anymore?

I thought for sure I used to be able to swipe to delete albums or tracks on my iphone - on my iphone 5 I can no longer do this. I found that if I turn itunes match off, I can delete. But turning itunes match on and off a lot is really a huge issue. It seems every time I do this the iphone loses track of some of the music.
Why why why can't these problems be fixed?!

Awful, awful awful.
Apple ... what were you thinking, and why did you mess up your product so badly?
Why are you screwing over those who are the most devoted, who paid for an extra?
Really. Could this be more frustrating:
You download a great new album!
You want to listen to it on your iPhone!
Oh wait, your iPhone is full. Over capacity. AND YOU SPEND AN HOUR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET SONGS OFF YOUR IPHONE, reading every forum and every trick to somehow make the product work the way it should. Trying to clear some space for that great new album you just got!
But it still doesn't.
... frustrated, you end up deleting the whole library. Because there seems to be no other way to clear space.
And re-download.
But "use cellular data" is back on, so it downloads when you're out.
And your phone bill is now $300 because you live in Canada and the data caps are so low.
Great. Now I paid over $350 to get my music I already own onto the phone.
At this point, the old USB seems like a better option. Or even the firewire 400. Longing for the days of my 10 gig iPod with a FireWire cable.
Thanks. So much for "positive user experience".
Easy to buy music, hard to get it on to your device. But as long as I've already given you my money, who cares right?!

Why can't I delete music from my iphone 4

I want to delete music from my iphone 4 why can't I?
<Edited by Host>

Settings>Music>Show All> off

I have just bought an iphone 3G not 3Gs, the operating system is 4.2.1. I know I cannot update this but why can't I buy music ringtones.

I have just purchased an iphone 3 (not 3Gs) and am happy with it but why can't I purchase a music ringtone or any ringtone other than the pre installed list?

iOS 4.2.1 is the most recent, and probably last, version that an iPhone 3G can run. If you need apps that require IOS 4.3 or later, you're stuck. You should have purchased an iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S, all of which can run iOS 5.
Regards.

HT1386 Why can't I sync music to my new iPhone 5?

I had a large music library synced to my iPhone 3GS. I've now upgraded to an iPhone 5 but, when I try to sync this phone, the "Music" page is blank" except for the note iTunes Match is On. I know I can download songs from the cloud, but to download everything I want will take forever: why can't I just synbc from my computer as I used to do with my old phone?

OK, I found the answer here:

Why can't I load music onto iPhone 4?

I can't load any music onto my iPhone 4. Here is a screen shot of iTunes which says I have 1.51 GB of free memory and I'm only trying to load a few MB of music onto it. It gives me an error message that I need something like 540 MB more memory. It also says I have a bunch of music on my iPhone which I don't. (I have like 1 song on the phone right now.) What should I do?

Hi, it's not that iTunes doesn't work, but required you more more space for the songs. I think you should try to clean some space and try to sync music to your iPhone again. And before doing the sync, you can check how much space has been taken for music (tap Settings > General > Usage > Music). If you say only 1 song is here, then maybe it only take several KB. If there are other songs, there maybe several MB.
