How can I get a Album with multiple artists to appear as a single album with all of the tracks?

How can I get a Album that contains multiple artists to appear as a single album with multiple tracks?  Also when I sync iTunes with my iPhone or iPad the Album appears as multiple albums with each artist.  The Album title is the same on each of the affected tracks.

Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist" or check the "compilation" flag.
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

  • Listing tracks from an album with multiple artists as part of one single album

    When listing my music by album on my iphone 4, tracks from the same album with multiple artists appear as separate albums. How can I get the iphone to list these as part of one single album? For example, "Rock of Oldies" is a compilation with 50's music, but on my iphone it appears as a long list of distinct albums: Rock of Olides - Elvis Presley, Rock of Oldies - Beach Boys, and so on. I tried bulk-selecting these and flagging them as "part of a compilation" on itunes, but it doesn't seem to help on my iphone...

    I just tried, but they still remain listed as separate albums on my iphone when i view by album...

  • How can I get my soundtracks w/multiple artists to show up together?

    I am an ex-Zune user, this is my 1st day trying my new iPod. My goal is to find a way to look through my collection on iTunes/iPod as if I were looking through my CD collection.
    The problem I'm having is with soundtracks/CD's that feature multiple artists. I noticed this when I imported & synced a soundtrack to my iPod. I'll just use my example, the Friday soundtrack. Ok, now I have my CD collection organized by artist name alphabetically, and the Friday soundtrack would go under F. Well when I import & sync this CD, when scrolling through all my artists on my iPod, it doesn't show the Friday soundtrack, but rather each artist's name on the album individually.
    What I did for now, was change all the artist names to "Friday", so they show up under Friday, but then I don't have any of my artist info.
    Is there any way to correct this so I can have them all under the same album, but keep each song's artist name stored individually so I can tell who is on each song?

    If the artists are different, it's going to always be that way in your iPod. After all, what artist would it all go under if there were many artists?
    However, you have a few options, for one, I would select all of that album, go into Get Info, and under advanced, make it "Part of a Compilation". This gives you some additional sorting functionality, and you can set your iPod settings, to VIEW these compilations separately. When this setting is enabled on your iPod, any "compilation" tracks are not under that artist, and instead, are under "Compilations" under your music. Plus, you can have iTunes sort Compilations separately too, so it's pretty handy.
    Also, you can leave your Artist as is, but leave Artist Album blank. When you do this coupled with the "part of compilation" setting, in iTunes, all of your compilations will appear at the bottom of your library, in a dedicated area for Various Artist compilations.
    At the end of the day, just play around with the settings and see what you like. Personally, I use the following methods for any various artist soundtrack/compilation:
    -Set all songs as part of compilation
    -Set Artist as usual
    -Leave Album Artist blank (if the album is Various Artists. If not, enter the main artist)
    -In VIEW->COLUMN BROWSER, both "Display Album Artist" and "Group Compilations" are checked
    -iPod Groups Compilations as well

    How can I get videos (Hulu) on my laptop to appear on my TV?  I already have the correct cable cord, but all I can see on my TV is the start-up screen.

    Your videos are saved in Photos. There is no storage capability in the Apple TV. You can only view them by streaming the videos via Air Play. Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    I don't know which iPad you have so this may not apply but if you want transfer your videos to your iPad follow the steps in this article: iMovie for iOS (iPad): Transfer video and photos between devices

    Hello, I have been experiencing similar problems and followed the suggestion and yes, the raw icon comes up as illustrated but there is nothing there to indicate any further action can be taken.  So I am presuming that means it is installed and no further action required?
    Here's my problem:  I have had no problems  getting my pics into my organiser in Elements 12 from either my Nikon D7100 or my Fujifilm X100S - until last week.  Suddenly when they are imported all I see is the timer icons but they don't open to let me view them.  If I click on one it will open and I can then edit it but it will not save an image onto the grid for me to view so it's really frustrating not being able to view all my photos in order to decide what to edit and compare them.
    Here's what action I've taken so far - restarted the computer (endlessly), checked the updates and installed them, checked I have the latest raw plug in (I do) and gone into edit/update thumbnail (doesn't do a thing) - and torn out a fair amount of my hair.  So anyone out there experienced this and can give me some advice? Please?

  • HT1391 How can I get a full history of our purchases?  We had some problems with some downloads since 5/25/12.We were charged for items that said "Free"? Help

    How can I get a full history of our purchases?  We had some problems with some downloads since 5/25/12.We were charged for items that said "Free"? Help

    iTunes Store menu > View My Account...
    Sign in and select "See All" in Purchase History.
    You can only see them in "batches" of ten. As far as I know there is no way to obtain a comprehensive summary.
    The prices are tabulated in that list. If they were supposed to be free, and they show that you were charged, then click the arrow next to the suspect purchases and click "report a problem".

  • How can i get my items to stay in place and not cross over each other when readjusting the browser s

    How can i get my items to stay in place and not cross over each other when readjusting the browser size.
    Basically on my site when i go from a small screen to a big screen everything doesn't adjust to the screen size. I don't know what im missing
    Here's the link to the page all the pages & they all do it

    Thanks in advance

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem.  Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How can I get my mail app to sync from my mac to iPhone, I don't have the 'info' option in iTunes?

    How can i get my mail app to sync from my mac to iphone? i dont have the 'info' option in itunes!
    I have created files within the mail app and want them to be the same on my mac and iphone.

    You need a mail server that supports this then. Hotmail premium I believe does, but the free version does not. Gmail supports it, and any ISP that offers IMAP supports this capability. iCloud definitely supports it, so if you create a free iCloud email account and switch your primary email to it you would have this capability.

    How can I get rid of duplicate birthdays in icloud Calendar, especially when there are no Contacts in the iCloud? Case ID: 365381395

    Found the answer myself while helping to set up iPhone.  It is simple when you know how.  Before signing out of iCloud to sign in again and restore the link to Photo Stream I had opted to copy iCloud contacts to the Mac.  When I signed in again this created two iCloud views which can be seen in Contacts Preferences.  I just disabled one of them.  Not brave enough to attempt removal but I gues this would work too.

    How can I get a subscribed US holiday calendar to appear in iCloud??

    If you mean to appear on icloud.com, unless something has changed recently, you can't.  iCloud only pushes calendar scriptions to your other devices but will not add the subscription to the calendar on icloud.com.

    You should be storing everything on your computer and you should always backup your computer.  Have you failed to do these things?
    If so, not good, then you can redownload some iTunes purchases in some countries.  Open iTunes store, click Purchased under Quick links
