Won't Organize Tracks Correctly

Hi, I have a problem with my itunes. I have a few cds where everything is tagged correctly and the track numbers are all numbered correctly, but itunes will not organize the cd by the track order. For example, I have one cd with 10 tracks, itunes has it organized as follows: # 10 is first then 1-9 follow in the correct order. Is there anyway to correct this? Thanks

Have you clicked on the "Track #" column header? That should sort by track number. Then click whatever you want to sort by after that, like Artist. The end result should be all the tracks in order and sorted/grouped by Artist, for example.

Ipod shuffle won't play tracks in order

My ipod shuffle won't play tracks in order even when I have the shuffle button off. I have sync'd it on itunes to play in order but it just continues to shuffle all the tracks! Please help. Thanks

I found a post about this problem from November, it is apparently how the iPod Shuffle handles podcasts. It sorts them in REVERSE chronological order, and moves them to the top of the play list. It's unbelievable that Apple has let a problem like this persist for so long.
Here is the discussion I mentioned:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6259808&#6259808
It offers a way to partially fix the problem, but one that I find entirely unacceptable. The only lasting solution mentioned was to buy a different mp3 player, which I'll be doing as soon as I return my Shuffle and get my money back.
The sad thing is that in addition to Apple losing money on the sale of a Shuffle, they're also loosing money on songs I would be purchasing from iTunes (I got a $20 gift certificate for my b-day that I'm going to sell to buy other music that will play on a non-Apple mp3 player), and they might loose potential customers because I've been complaining about this to everybody I know!

Correction, I found a discussion dealing with this from 2005!

Elements 11 organizer shows correct wb in thumbnails but when increased to full screen or in slide show changes white balance to tungsten

Elements 11 organizer shows correct white balance in thumbnails but when increased to full screen or in slide show changes white balance to tungsten. Photos where shot in raw and in auto or flash white balance. any suggestions out there?

Figured it out, if the raw default setting has the wb on 3000 (or tungsten) the slide show uses adobe raw to convert so they all showed blue LOL

Simple request... More than one column to organize tracks?!

Is it possible to organize tracks with more than one column, such as 'name' followed by 'comment', for example.. The way I have it now, each time you click on a new header, the last header cannot be used in combination, i.e. only the currently selected header can be used. Thanks!

strangelittleman,
I don't know of any way to do this, but I agree it would highly useful. (Like the sorting algorithms in word processors that let you sort by column 2 followed by column 6, etc., or whatever.)
Here is a work-around. If the column you use to arrange your songs, say song name, produces a fairly sizable listing for the same song (Louie Louie, for instance) and you want to organize that by artist name (to group the multiple versions done by Motorhead or IGGY POP, for instance), then just select the songs of a given name and copy them to a new playlist. Then select the artist name column to organize by that.
This is clumsy, and only useful if you have a large number of songs in the first sorting category (song name in the example above) and duplicates that you wish to detect in the second sorting category (artist name in the example above). But in some cases it may be helpful.

Why won't some track information sync to my iPod?

Recently, my mom upgraded from her extremely old Sansa e250 to a 32GB iPod Touch. I'm helping her migrate her music over to her iPod. I copied her old Sansa's music onto my computer, which are all mp3 and mp4 files. I put these files into iTunes (on her laptop), and synced them over to her iPod. I then realized some files did not have album artwork, an album in the track info, and some other incorrect or missing details. So, I went into each track, corrected as necessary. Then, I ran a Get Album Artwork for all tracks, which it found for most of them. I went online to find the album artwork iTunes didn't have (some of the mp3s were ripped from old CD's, like George Clinton's Computer Games) and pasted it into track info. After the entire collection was ready to go, I synced again. I opened the Music app on the iPod, and I noticed that while the Apple artwork synced over, some track info that I edited, and the artwork I pasted in, did not. The music still plays fine, but it's kind of annoying when there's something missing or you see that music note. For example, one track was Supertramp's "Babaji". I entered in the album Crime of the Century for it. iTunes found the artwork for it, synced it over, but the album name did not. Any advice?

First a really big THANKS - I was not aware that this iPod Photo cache folder existed and it had grow to over 15 gb in size! (Now it is 3.85 gb in size).
BUT BUT-- problem not solved... Although I trashed that file and then re-synced my iPod Touch, it is still only going back to July 2009 with the events - not 12 months as I request; and none of the events that I checked prior to the previous 12 months are not on my iPod Touch, first generation running system 3.1.3 (7E18). I STILL HAVE 3.0 gb of available space on my iPod. Again, I never had this problem when 2.x was the OS for my iPod Touch.
The number of events seems to be exactly 51 - is that perhaps a limit? I don't think it would be but when I look inside the iPod Photo cache folder, there are 51 folders (plus 2 other items) and the folders are numbered from F00 to F50.
I would like to get to the bottom of this - not sure if I should start a new post or ??? Thanks again and any ideas or tests to run really appreciated!
Best regards,

I'm trying to print onto mailing labels, but it won't line up correctly. It looks right on the template and the 1st row prints right. The text keeps moving down a line on each row of labels, preventing it from printing the rest of them correctly.

I'm trying to print onto mailing labels, but it won't line up correctly. It looks right on the template and the 1st row even prints correctly. The text keeps moving down a line on each row of labels, so the rest of it will not print correctly.

There are several ways you can go about this.
1. Most labels come with Word templates or downloadable Word templates. Simply open those in Pages.
2. Make a table with extra cells for the thin spaces between the labels and skinny those down to match the spaces. ie You have big fat cells for the actually labels and thin narrow empty ones for the gaps.
3. Make a floating Text box the size of one label, format with dummy text just the way you like it.
+Menu > Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder text+
You can now drag and drop snippets of text, the addresses etc onto those and it will replace them matching the style of the existing text.
You duplicate that text box into position of the other labels by clicking on it with the command kety held down, then drag copy it up or across with the option and shift keys held down. Fine tune the positions with:
+Inspector > Metrics > Position+

Audio Won't Merge to Correct Source Tracks

Hi Guys,
I'm working on a feature at the moment. The audio is recorded separately on a Cantar.
Sound guy usually records up to 8 tracks. Keeping booms and character's radio mics on the same tracks for each scene.
When I come to sync the clips in FCP 7.0, the merged clips create audio source tracks in sequential order, ie A1, A2, A3 etc, regardless of which tracks he actually recorded on.
EG, if he records A1, A2, A7, A8, when I merge the tracks to the video file, I get V1, A1, A2, A3, A4.
Is it because sound dept is giving me monophonic files?
He was delivering polyphonic before, but it would actually record "nothing" to all eight tracks. So if I was to make an edit from one of the polyphonic merged clips, it would edit in V1 + A1-A8. That was a bit of a pain. Either way, it is making tracklaying a bit of trouble.
Any ideas if I can change the source tracks to the correct tracks?
Many thanks!

I could do a MP3 to WAV conversion, but that defeats the
purpose of storing my (growing) music library in MP3 for space conservation.
I understand the space problem. Only do this for files that you are using as Assets, Imported into PrPro, if they give you a problem.
Seems I'm finding I have to do a lot of 'work arounds' with CS4.
Well, it does seem that you are not alone on this one. However, my problem came with PrPro 2.0. In my case, it only happened once, but did affect about a dozen Audio files in several Sequences. Did not realize the magnitude of my issue, and only observed it after a busy day of trying to Keyframe some Effects and doing multiple Renders to check things out. One moment all Audio in that section was playing well - next moment (after one more Render) dead. Others, who replied to my thread indicated that it had happened to them too, in similar circumstances. Trouble was, none of us could duplicate it and some had this happen on their first Render, while I'd probably done a dozen that morning. Have never had it happen again, and finished that Project with hundreds more Renders, just like I'd done, with not one problem. I certainly can not call it a Bug, as there was no way for anyone to reproduce it. Still, whatever allows it to happen, under the right (or wrong) circumstances seems to be around two generations later. Hey, phases of the Moon?
Good luck, and let's hope that neither of us sees this behavior again,

Drawing a number in the air - won't track correctly

Hi.
I watched the tutorial on how to do this - see http://homepage.mac.com/specialcase/movies/Tracking_Finger.mov The chap in the video places a green square on his finger and Motion tracks it perfectly to get the desired effect.
My situation is that during an interview my talking head started drawing shapes in the air unpromted. All I have to track is a pink finger in front of a blue shirt and brown backdrop. My experiments in tracking his finger / hand haven't been good. The track follows the finger for half a second before darting off in the opposite direction.
I think it's great that Motion can follow a green square on someone's finger. But is there are real hope for me and my talking head?
Steve

I can't say for sure, since I don't have your material, but I'd try adding a Channel Swap filter to your guy, then take the Red from Red, the Green from Red, and the Blue from Red, which should give you a black and white image that makes his blue shirt quite dark, and his pink finger quite light. Then try and track that. There will most likely be frames that you'll have to track by hand, but playing with the size of the tracking area, etc should get you thru it.

How to organize tracks the way I want them?

So this concept is very simple but might be impossible to do in iTunes. My scenario is that I am a mobile DJ, so for years I have been organizing my audio tracks on my computer following this file naming format: "Artist - Track Name.mp3", which makes my songs very easy to sort through. So, I bought my iPod classic and imported all of my tracks into iTunes, thinking that I would be able to follow this same format, but I quickly noticed that while there are many "column" options to sort the library by (title, genre, etc.), there seems to be no option to allow for my desired format. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that iTunes loads in tracks according to ID3 tag info (which is often incorrect, missing info, and so on). Simply put, I cannot figure out how to get the library in Itunes to follow my "Artist - Track Name" system, which makes sorting through nearly 10,000 songs very hard and confusing, especially when I use the iPod in conjunction with my car's Alpine head unit. So, my question is, can I get the tracks to appear how they are named on my computer using the "Artist - Track Name" format, or am I being left to edit the ID3 tag info for each song (which would royally suck for 10,000 songs!). Help.

Katrina:
Too late on your warning unfortunately! I did have that option checked off, so iTunes screwed up about half of my files on my external HD before I stopped the process it was doing once I figured out what was going on. I've had to spend hours getting everything back to the way it was. So frustrated.
ed2345:
Thanks for the information. It's disappointing because I like my iPod, but in my opinion iTunes as a bundled program is complex and lacks basic things when it comes to library organization. As a DJ who requires specific control over all of my music, the iTunes system is horrendous.

Won't Import, Won't get Track Names, Won't leave the store alone

For some reason, even though I have it set to import a CD when I insert one, itunes won't import the CD unless I actually selected all of the tracks and drag them to the library. Once I do that, it either won't find the track names or says it can't, which I find very hard to believe.
Also it keeps trying to access the store even though I didn't set it to do so and it never actually accesses it even though it tries for quite a while.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
I've got it to work sometimes, it appears to be my Broadband internet connection which is at fault. Upon checking it out it appears to be dropping intermittentley but when it's up at the correct speeds, itunes works ok.
Thanks.

ITunes losing all music and won't redirect to correct folder

Hi there,
This morning, iTunes has lost all my music. The whole library has the little exclamation mark. Using the 'Find info' comand, I can see that iTunes is looking for them in the music folder of my internal drive. However, they've always been kept on an external drive, and when I redirect iTunes to an individual track in it's correct location, and it asks me if I'd like to use the location to find the other missing files, it fails to correct the location of the rest. I am getting this message: “iTunes was able to find 1 of 18083 missing files.” Rather frustrating...
I'm using iTunes 10, on OS 10.7.3
I have the correct iTunes media folder indicated in the advanced preferences tab.
In case it's relevant, I'm also syncing with a new iPhone 4s, which I've only had for about 3 weeks, though in terms of audio, I only sync recently added albums + podcasts.
And an additional odd behaviour that I noticed this morning was that in my iTunes Media folder, outside of the Music folder, several artist folders had appeared, each containing an album folder and one or several songs from that album, the rest of which were all in their normal locations inside the Music folder, minus the tracks in the newly-appeared folders. All very odd.
Thanks for any help,
Emma

I have finally solved this issue. Here is the solution:
1. Open iTunes
2. Select Music
3. In the upper right hand corner select Albums.
4. Under "All Albums" highlight the first album, then scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, hold down the shift key and select the last album.
5. All albums should now be selected.
6. Place the cursor over one of the albums. Press with 2 fingers on the trackpad to bring up the menu.
7. Select "Check All"
8. Congratulations - no more grayed out songs and they will sync now.
9. Go into your iPhone sync and check the songs you want to transfer and click the sync button.
I hope this helps you to resolve your issue.

HT1918 why does my app credit card billing information change every time I have an update on my phone? then it won't let me correct it

Ok when I install an app, even a free one, it always asks for my log in then takes me to the app. Never have problems with this unless my phone has an update, as soon as I install an update, my billing information get's messed up so it won't allow me to download or update apps. I've gone in to correct the billing information, which was only the security code from the back of my card, and it will not accept the changes. How do I fix this?
