How do I sort by Album and not Artist on my 7th Generation

I can't veiw my music on my ipod nano by just album. It's separated everything by artist and doesn't just play the whole album. How do I fix that?

Wow!! You've went to a lot of work! I'm sure I'll figure this out eventually! I have read down through your entire article and tried everything and I stilllll can't get it! It's funny you responded to this thread, I actually had already used some o f your scripts. I am doing all of this for my church, so that's why I have so many artisits, albums, etc. and I've tried delegating the work out to different people but it is very hard to make them all do it the same way...so here we are. I tried using the "sort album" feature in the get-tag-info and it didn't do anything, I tried making it a compilation and "compilation" came up under "artists" in the normal itunes screen but NOT in the music selection screen for my ipad, I tried converting the id3 tags back to none and then back up to v. 2.3, and I really don't want to go through all my "album artist" values and change them to the "album" because then I wouldn't be able to see the tracks by artist and besides that I can't find any tag renamer that is capable of changing album artist and contributing artist. See the 2 screen shots below, they should tell the story. Thanks for the help!!!

How do you move a single album, and not the whole library, in iPhoto to an external hard drive?

How do you move a single album, and not the whole library, in iPhoto to an external hard drive?

File -> Export to a folder and copy it over.
That will give you a folder with the images. There is no way to move an album outside of iPhoto. You would need to have a library containing it.

HT1849 How do I transfer a single song that I purchased into my complete my album so I can have the complete album and not an incomplete album missing the single.

How do I transfer a single that I bought previously before purchasing the complete my album so that I have the complete album and not missing the single?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Not sure what you mean by transfer. I suspect you are trying to get it listed in iTunes as part of the album, in which case you can change the details in 'Get Info'.

I bought an album and not all the songs came up listed under the artist name. They came up as separate songs and not as part of an album. How do I fix this?

Hello pjmelli921,
You have to locate the album in itunes. Highlight each track, hold the ctrl button and left click each one.
Do a right-click on the highlighted blue, select get info, say yes to editing multiple tracks.
Hit the options tab, change "part of a compliation" to yes, select ok on the bottom right.
Resync ipod. This should fix it on your ipod after the resync.
Hope this helps.

I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded and I cannot play any of the songs. I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems. How do I delete these albums and reload them? I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded on my iPad Mini and I cannot play any of the songs. I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems. How do I delete these albums and reload them? I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

If the albums do appear in the Music app, hold down on the album icons and the X to delete will pop up on the icons. Tap the X to delete the albums.
You don't see a anything in iCloud, you see your previous purchases in the purchased tab of the store that you bought the content in. So you find your music purchases in the purchased tab of the iTunes app on your iPad. Tap on Purchased and look for the albums in the Not on this iPad section - assuming that you are able to delete the albums from the device.

I just want to organize my photos to albums and not appear anywhere else. Photos appear in Photos and no indication if they have been dealt with.

I want to load my photos onto my MacBook Pro, sort them into albums and not have them appear in other locations. If I go to Photos all of the photos in the computer seem to appear. I can't tell if they have been put in an Album or have been edited. Is there a simpler system that I can use.

iPhoto works similarly to iTunes. In iTunes, every track is in the Library and each playlist is a sub-set of the Library.
So, in iPhoto, every image is in the Library and each Album is a subset of the Library. So, your photos will always be visible in the Library and in any album you use them in. That - of course - means that any image can ne used in a multitude of albums, and use no extra disk space. So that shot of your son, daughter and their puppy can be in the Son album, Daughter album, Puppy Album and even a favourites album.
Photos and Events are simply two views of the Library - two doors to the same room as it were.
It's easy to find photos not in an Album - with a Smart Album:
File -> New Smart Album
Album -> is not -> any
and another will find Photos not editoed:
File -> New Smart Album
Photo -> is -> Edited.
As you edit a photo, or add it to an album, they will be dropped from the Smart Album.

I recently purchased a second hand new macbook air, although it was second hand to me the previous owner had never actually turned it on.
Something doesn't make sense here, though I'm not saying the previous owner is lying....
Time to send your serial # to iTS and let them see what's happening here.

How to restrict the last record and not moving to next reocrd

1) how to restrict the last record and not moving to next reocrd.
2) Also for the F6 key(for new record).

When you are on the last record, next-record will create a new one, so that my question is do you want to forbid new record creation.

You can't reformat it and not wipe everything on it.
Have you tried a different USB port?
Only other option, back it up on a different computer.

I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?

Also where exactly on the laptop is teh data stored.
Thank you!!

go to 'Edit' in the menu bar. Then choose 'Preferences'.
you'll see a pop-up and there's a tab called 'Devices' there. If you click that, you will be able to check a box that says 'prevent automatic syncing for iPods, iPads and iPhones' or something like that.
Hope this helps
NB: if you don't even see the menu bar that has options like 'File, Edit, View, etc', first click the black/white square button on the top left of your screen, and then click 'show menu bar'. It should pop right up.
Good luck

HT1284 How can I backup word documents and not have them crowd my screen? Thanks.

Hi. How can I backup word documents and not have them crowd my screen? I know, you guessed it. I'm a novice, but not ashamed!

Please explain what you mean when you say backup Word documents crowds your screen.
I don't see any connection between backup and your screen.

How do I sort the album order in my music window in itunes 11.

I am wondering how I can sort the album order in my main music section. I have had to collect up tracks spread across several 'albums' into the 1 album they were. The name is the same. Now this album, 'The War of the Worlds', has 2 CDs. One is now where it should be, the other is near the end of my albums. How can i sort the order?
TIA
Chris

See Grouping tracks into albums. A big split in the postition can be caused by different Album Artist or Sort Album Artist, or one disc might be marked as a compilation while the other isn't.
