Why does genre not match what's in itunes?

I'm not sure where to post this so I'm starting with itunes match.
I have a new iphone 5s and I've had itunes in the cloud/match since it started.
I have many artists who, for example, may have christmas CDs or religious CDs in addition to their normal genre. Itunes may label all of them something like "country" by default but I have manually changed them to "christmas" so the tracks would not be mixed in with the "usual" genre.
For example, I may have religious and country themes on my iphone but I could go to genre, filter to country, play the artist and the "religious" genre would not show up. Now, even though I have the genre labeled as desired in itunes, all the CDs show up in the iphone when I go to genre for that artists. It doesn't really seem to filter by genre.
Is this because of how itunes has it labeled for genre?
I don't have itunes match even turned on for this iphone b/c of the hassles I've run into. I sync the music by direct connection to itunes by usb.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm the OP to this thread. I posted this topic separately in a different thread, here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23951723#23951723
As I noted in the other thread:
"Apple had elevated to me, set a password so they could access my icloud, after a week they got back in touch with me and basically told me they couldn't figure it out, agree with my problem, and they are researching it as part of a larger problem not specific to me. "
Based on my understanding, there is nothing we the user can do to resolve this; the problem is on Apple's end.
I recommend providing feedback directly to apple engineer, here:

Content on iPod touch does not match what is in iTunes

Running Windows 7 64 bit, iTunes is reporting it is latest and greatest, as is iPod touch. When I tried to move some songs I purchased today to my iPod via iTunes, my system crashed. Tried a few times and it kept crashing. It would transfer 1 maybe 2 songs then crash. I've not installed anything new, nor have I had this problem in the past and the crashes only occur when transferring music. Anyway, after the last crash I was checking my version on iPod touch and noticed it says I have only 2 gig left on space. Yet when I go to my Music I only have 3 songs. In addition, when I plug my ipod into my computer, iTunes sees all my old music from the iPod (listed under devices) AND it will play those songs. From my iPod those songs do not seem to exist but are still taking up space. I am in the process of restoring my iPod but I am curious if anybody has had the same issue, if so what was your resolution... as well as any suggestions. Thanks, Sandy

Ok, so now I have restored several times to get the same result. My iTunes will not sync my iPod touch. I have reinstalled iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit version. Restarted the computer several times. It appears to be syncing, then an error will pop up that says the iPod could not be written to. Again, in iTunes it shows there are songs on the iPod, but when you access the iPod directly, there are no songs on it. What to do? Is it possible the hard drive in the iPod is going bad?

My music names in my iphone do not match whats on my itunes library

i have over 2800 songs in my itunes collection, all the names , albums & songs are in the order i prefer it to be in, when i import these songs to my iphone, the names, albums & songs are different & even some are missing

That indicates that they were either purchased with another account or were not iTunes purchases.
For the former, authorize the computer for the account that purchased them.. For the latter you need a third-party program like on of those discussed here:

IWeb 09 published site does not match what I've created!

So after working countless hours on a website, I finally finished it and used Cyberduck to upload the files. Once it finished I was so excited to check out the website only to find that a lot of the content does NOT match what I have created on my desktop iMac. Even widgets youtube and html snippets aren't working, but are working fine within iWeb as I have created the site. The fonts have uploaded all wrong and even borders and frames look different or aren't there all together. Also, the Google Map widget is causing some error through cyberduck upload and says it can't load it. How come my iWeb site looks great on my computer, but is totally hosed when uploaded to the FTP server? I'm freaking out and am desperate for help.
The website is www.mikewarobickgolf.com
I'm running Lion as well.
What do I need to do to get all the content of my iWeb site uploaded properly to the server? Please help!
If I am already screwed from running iWeb 09 with Lion, can you recommend an iWeb replacement? I'd rather get the site up now with iWeb and work on replacing it a later time if at all possible.

You need to upload the Scripts folder to get your Widgets to work.
Try getting the full embed code for your Google map and pasting it into the HTML Snippet rather than use the Widget. According to Cyclosaurus ( the only person outside of Apple who seems to understand widgets), the Google maps widget won't work when MobileMe closes down at the end of the month.
I don't recommend any of these apps. As long as iWeb functions OK after the end of the month, I would continue using it until something better comes along.
In theory, Flux is probably the best bet since its a hybrid of code entry and drag and drop. In my opinion its too complicated and is not going to produce leaner code unless the user learns how to work with an external stylesheet. By the time you add inline styles and all that positioning info you're going to end up with more bloated code than an iWeb created site!
I don't know why someone can't come up with an app like iWeb that will utilise an external stylesheet and uses code injection and plugins. The big problem with iWeb is that apple didn't allow third party developers to create new widgets and responsive templates.
The main reason that I stopped using iWeb for new sites is that it can't produce responsive designs for mobile devices such as the iPhone. To extend its life, I did come up with an idea for producing a mobile version which may help some iWeb users...

HT204406 I have subscribed to match on iTunes and organized my music on my Mac Book. Why does it not appear the same way on my iPad

I would like my music to appear organized in the same way on my iPad as I have done it on my Mac Book. (and on my iPhone as well) Since it is in the cloud, why does it not appear the same way in all devices?

The purpose of iTunes match is to make your music library available to all of your devices anywhere. It will sync Playlists, but no other type of organization you may have made.
If you're having trouble, be sure you are logged into the same Apple ID on all devices but be sure to read this article and pay special attention to associating your devices with an Apple ID. There are important restrictions you should know about.

Match Regular Expression does not match what Match Pattern does

I have read through a lot of posts about how Match Pattern does not match what Match Regular Expression will due to not processing some characters.
However, I found a problem with the other way. A simple Reg-Ex that works in Match Pattern but not Match Regular Expression.
What I have here is just an example. I want to use Match Regular Expression so I can specify some sub-matches.
The reg-ex is for: one or more non-numeric characters, a space, one or more numeric characters. At the start of the string.
How can I get this working in Match Regular Expression? I am working in LabVIEW 2010f2 32 bit. Here is the code snippet and the results:

I think I prefer the ~ for negation since ^ is also used for beginning of the string. But we work with what we have.
Let me offer you a tip and perhaps defend the honor of the regex a little bit. One of my favorite features of regexes is the ability to specify character classes (and their negation). One of the reasons I have to think about the ~ versus ^ is that I rarely use ^ in a regex alternative.
Some examples:
[0-9] = \d (digit)
[^0-9] = \D (not a digit)
The equivalent regex for your case is: \D+ \d+

Why does color not have a 1440x1080 Resolution preset?

1. Why does color not have a 1440x1080 Resolution preset? Im using ProRes HQ in FCP and clips at 1440x1080. But when they come out of Color they are 1920x1080? I notice from color there is no 1440x1080 Res preset so strange?
2. In addition ive also noticed that I dont have the choice of 'Original Codec' in the render codec settings. Only ProRes, ProRes HQ, Uncompressed 8bit and 10bit. SO i use the higher quality 10bit.

Ok, I class myself as a patient person and not one to fly off the handle. However, Color is testing me to the limits. I cannot work out for the life of me how this application is trying to handle my footage.
I sending 1440x1080 thats been encoded 1440x1080 50i. This footage is ending up in the Color pref settings or as 1920x1080!! Secondly when I send this back to FCP obviously my Sequence will have changed to match 1920x1080.. thus up scaling the whole project! Then if that weren't enough, taking a look at the data-rates in the clip settings of the Color Sequence they read in excess of 131.5 mb/s My HDD give up immediately! (Is one supposed to render the timeline first once this footage is back from color? - i dont just mean because of the transitions etc)
Now.. to yet further confuse the issue I then do a Render ALL in FCP and the Color Sequence plays back fine though still with the wrong Resolution of 1920x1080?
to be frank, i just dont know where to start with this.. it seems 1 step forward 3 steps back each time. I can appreciate Im new to this but I thought I knew enough not to encounter such petty problems as just setting Color up for import/export. Im going to say it... Is this a Color problem or what? I dont think there are many of you using PAL with HDV into ProRes HQ or ProRes so I guess its going to have to be a £200 call to Apple? .. Which I probably wont do..
Here's hoping.

I am trying to activate root account on my MAC. The directions I've seen do not match what is in System Preference for Accounts or Users

I am trying to activate the root account on my new Mac Book Pro. The instructions that I have found do not match what I have in System Preferences. What is the process when using Users and Groups. When I click on Join the Network Account Server- Open Directory Utility I don't see a option to activate root user as the instructions say at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1528
OS X Lion
From the Apple menu choose System Preferences....
From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
Click the lock and authenticate as an administrator account.
Click Login Options....
Click the "Edit..." or "Join..." button at the bottom right.
Click the "Open Directory Utility..." button.
Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
Choose Enable Root User from the Edit menu.
Enter the root password you wish to use in both the Password and Verify fields, then click OK.

Do you mean you cannot select "Enable Root User" from the "Edit" menu as shown below?
Why do you think you need to enable the root user? I've never needed it in the history of OS X.

I would like to add to the Safari toolbar on my ipad 5 IOS 6 machine. I have searched the web and find some instructions to do this but the words and pictures do not match what I can see. I am beginning to think this is not a capabilty of the ipad 5

I would like to add to the Safari toolbar on my ipad 5 IOS 6 machine. I have searched the web and find some instructions to do this but the words and pictures do not match what I can see. I am beginning to think this is not a capabilty of the ipad 5 but perhaps for a Mac computer running Safari. Does anyone know if it is possible to add tools to the toolbar on the latest version of iPad OS & Safari Browser? If so please tell me how. Thanks

You cannot customize the Safari toolbar on the iPad.
What you can do on the iPad is go to Settings>Safari>Always show Bookmarks Bar>On and that will add a bookmarks bar on to the Safari browser.

My iphone is suddenly populated by random songs I've downloaded in the past. Why does this happen, and what are apple doing about fixing this?

Why does this happen?
What do other people do? (I can't go to sleep knowing there's a rogue album or song in my music. It's 2am now)
What do we tell apple so that they actually fix it. None of us want to pay £25 to have our own music.

I am on the monthly payment plan because nobody at BT has told me there is any alternative!
Each year there I have a long, in-depth conversation with the person who sets up the contract for the next year but the gist of the thing is 'I'm not going to be paying more than [x amount] per month, am I? Because I can't afford any more'' and each year the person says that no, in fact I should be paying less... and then without notice and even with the bill saying 'We will continue to take....' a totally different - and higher - sum disappears from my bank account.
Then I go through the painful process of writing to complain about this, get some sort of sum refunded and then the payments go through at the level they should, with me paying any additional (usually small) amounts for usage over the allowance. Until contract end when we start all over again...
Even if the amount they seem to randomly decide on is based on some sort of forecast, this should not be happening as I am doing what they instruct me to do on the bill to keep my payments the same.
So something is going wrong, on many levels.
At no point have I been offered the sort of 'monthly billing' described here; maybe there is some reason I am not allowed it. Unfortunately 'whole bill' direct debit payment is beyond me. I really need to know what I will be paying each month and I need BT to correctly take that amount, as agreed, each month, from the get-go.
It shouldn't be that hard really! Does anyone from BT read these forums? Can somebody take this on and finally get this straight, please?

Hi,
Date arithmetic only works with DATEs.
If you want to do something similar with TIMESTAMPs, use NUMTODSINTERVAL:
SELECT TO_CHAR ( TO_TIMESTAMP ('1/1/2012', 'DD/MM/YYYY') + NUMTODSINTERVAL (.733409047, 'DAY')
, 'HH24:MI:SS.FF'
FROM dual
;Here's exactly what's happending:
When you say "d + n", d is supposed to be either a NUMBER or a DATE. When you pass any other datatype, Oracle tries to convert d to either a NUMBER or a DATE. In this case, d was a TIMESTAMP; Oracle realized that it could convert that TIMESTAMP into a DATE, and did so. The 1st argument to TO_CHAR, therefore, was a DATE, but '.FF' only works with TIMESTAMPs.
There are a couple of things about how Oracle handles this that I find annoying, but I don't know of any better work-around.

Why does Verizon not provide 3G coverage in Western Maryland (Garrett County) and why does it not have an agreement with US Cellular for such coverage?

Thanks for the zip code pfekete. I looked into the coverage in your area and I do see you are in an extended 1X data coverage which explains why you're not connecting to 3G. What phone do you have? We may be able to advise you on how to adjust the settings so it picks up the strongest signal. I apologize for the inconvenience.
