When I added music to iTunes it seperated some of the songs into the catagories selected and others are lumped into a list at the end where artist and song are in the same space and not sperated like the other songs. It appears I into catagories and other

I've got to be the dumbest Apple product owner there is.

* Doesn't it seem strange (maybe I'm not finding this option as it's hidden some place?) that there aren't boxes allowing you to select what action you clearly want to take?

Senerio (sp?) New user (last two years) or for a 7 year old who opens up itunes to any catagory listed, for this exsample their iPhone's hooked up and connected currently what I view it appears iTunes will sync the two but where is it stated clearly what will be over written and what will be replacing it? Because once syncing is done it's done there's no "I didn't want it to do that" button to press to go back!

Solution for persons such as myself; picture a white plain screen opening up in the catagory you choose (I'll use music) uncluttered no links taking you inadvetaintly to a screen pitching me something from Apple just all my music catagorized by iTunes the way in which I selected it to be by checking as many of the choices as I want that are list in the "sort" menu. Now before I hit sync at the top there are 3 empty boxes. Positioned clearly and designed by the marketing department who has every page in the store laid out clear clean and in your face making it impossible to START HERE so to speak, they'd unmistakably be simply labeled with 3 basic choices for you to choose from (a fourth "advanced" could be optional) which would be; Box#1 Do Noithing (Leave as is) Box#2 Sync from Device to iTunes Box#3 Sync from iTunes to Device . What you checked is what action iTunes would take. When you pressed "sync" a box would pop up Asking are you sure you want to it would have the selected boxes action here further assuring you wre doing as you wanted .

With these on all the things/catagories that iTunes writes over and erases replacing it with what in my experiance usually is incomplete folders or databases of apps, music, movies, podcasts, books etc.? the misinterpretation of the action you want or choose would almost be eliminated from incorrect interpretation of what you actually want to do.

Please if there's something I can set for all my choices please tell me where and how.

Addionally without doing it one song at a time does iTunes seperate song artist from title automatically some how or do I have to go song by song cut artist and paste in the correct colum?

Any help is appriciated!!!!!!!!!
