How do you combine artists and albums in itunes?

I just recently bought an iPod classic and am now using iTunes to edit my prolific library of music so that I can put it on my iPod. I have much editing to do of songs, artists, albums, etc. I am finding that some of my songs are broken up from the album they should be on, and yet the name of the album is the same and it still appears separate from the main album. I also have some artists who are broken up as well, even though they have the same name. How can I combine artists, albums, etc into one file? I want all the songs from an album to be under one album and all albums to be under one artist, not two with the same name. This was very easy to do in Windows Media Player but can't figure out how to combine songs to one album or combine artists to show up once under one file. HELP!

If you are on a PC and want to sync photos to the iPhone this is how you do it. First, create a folder and place the pictures that you want on the iPhone in that folder. You can copy them, or move them into that folder, whichever. Once you connect the iPhone to iTunes, from the Summary screen, click on the tab for photos. In that section, tell iTunes what folder you want to sync to the phone. It is better to make the folder you want to sync in "My Pictures" that is located in the "My Documents" folder. iTunes automatically looks at the "My Pictures" folder and can sync all photos, or you can choose particular folders. I have a folder called iPhone pictures that is in the My Pictures folder, and I tell iTunes to sync just that particular folder.
Hope that helps you.

How to get back artist and album name

I have bought or imported all of my music through itunes. However, when I updated to itunes 10, most of my artist and album information was lost. When I try to get the information, I get the message that itunes cannot get the information for items not purchased or imported through itunes???? How do I fix this?

What's the exact message? The phrase you typed doesn't ring any bells.

How do you combine audio and video files?

I've brought in a video file and an audio file, but can find no way to specify that they are a single source that should be compressed together. The documentation was of no use. How do you identify video and audio files as being one source?
Thanks!

Semantics, I suppose. In any case, you do need to go through Premiere Pro if you want AME to do the job. There are likely other encoders out there which can perform the muxing, though, if you'd rather not go through PP.

How do you delete videos and songs in iTunes?????

My delete option is in shady light gray font meaning you can't use this option. How do I delete songs and video?? Anyone?? Thanks!!!

If it the delete menu item is greyed out, then you likely do not have write permission for the file/folder/or drive the stuff is stored on?

How do you combine 2 iPhoto picture albums?

How do you combine 2 photo albums?
Can you add pictures to a book once you've already started it?

What i did to combine an ablum was to change the album information so it is exactly the same as the one you want to merge it with. i did this and it worked. it has to be exactly the same, word for word. to edit the album information, right-click on the album and click "get info". a Box will appear. click on the 2nd tab to edit info. you can even change the album cover!
*note: this hasn't been tested for music downloaded from the iTunes Store.
Hope This Helps!

How can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up but song and artist?

how can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up by song and artist? I've got loads of albums on iTunes that are compliations and they are all mixed up by track/ artist. Even when you click 'show album' it still just shows the album title and then the artist in alphabetical order - so the album is replicated several times
Can anyone tell me how to amalgamate compliation albums please?

How to access the "Genre", "Artist", and "Album" Panel via COM/script

I thought I posted this a couple of days ago, but checking on "My Posts", it appears I didn't. Oooops
I'm using the COM interface, which is also same as the scripting one.
I'm trying to discover what elements in the iTunes main window have been selected, and thus "highlighted".
The main window appears, to the interface, to be the "BrowserWindow", not to be confused with the View -> Show Browser window. Within this main window, I can identify which Playlist is currently selected, and/or which individual tracks are selected.
But, what I'm trying to do, is also identify if any elements in the View -> Show Browser window are also selected. "Genre", "Artist", and "Album".
Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how do I achieve it.
Cheers,
Eddie

In case you don't get any replies here, Eddie (your post might get buried under queries about iTunes 7.7), it might also be worth checking in at Teridon's google discussions. Robert's post here has a link through to those:

How do you combine mutable iphoto libraries and clean up duplicates

how do you combine multiple iphoto libraries and clean up duplicates

If not the only answer is the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager -http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and maybe duplicate annihaliator -http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/18748/duplicate-annihilator
You must have IPLM as stated - you may also need DA depending on how thing go with the merge

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.

N8 music player "artists and albums" issue

Hello!
"artists and albums" in N8 music player mixes albums with same name from different artists
into one album.
How to reproduce:
1) add "Greatest Hits" album from Blondie and "Greatist Hits" from Black Sabbath
2) refresh library
3) now there's one album "Greatest Hits" from Black Sabbath that contains songs from both Blondie and Black Sabbath albums.

if you run your music through windows music player before installing on phone and find album info in it all the music will display correctly well at least the odd 30 or so albums I have on my phone do , with album art in cover flow !

I recently moved my itunes library. Itunes deleted a lot of artist and album info and album art. Now it won't let me edit the info to correct it. Any advice on to correct this?

I recently bought a new Asus laptop and moved my itunes to it. All of my files are stored on an external hard drive. In the process of importing my files into itunes on the new laptop, some artist and album info has been deleted. A lot of album art is missing as well. I attempted to correct the missing info, but now itunes won't let me edit any track, artist or album info. Any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks.

I need help manually managing music- I only want select artists and albums in bulk

Hi All,
I am currently trying to sync music with a new Ipod (120GB) and am having diffuculty.
What I have done: I have checked the 'Manually manage music' box and am able to select music I want to sync with the Ipod no the 'Music' Page of the Ipod.
What I am trying to do: I have over 400GB of music, so I only want to select certain artists and albums. In this case I am trying to select batches of music to take across to another PC in alphabetical order. In other words, I want to select all Artists and Albums starting with the letters A, B and C.
What I want to know how to avoid: I am currently being forced to click on every single artist and album starting with A, B and C individually which as you can imagine is taking hours!!! I want to be able to select all artists or albums starting at one point and ending at another point, without having to click individually on each and every line item.
Please help! This is going to take me forever!

Enable the sidebar with CTRL+S if not there
Create a playlist with CTRL+N
Go to the Songs view.
Click the heading of the Album column until it reads Album
Select the first track of the first album
Scroll down the list until you see the last track of the last album beginning with C
Hold down shift and click that last track
Drag the selection to the playlist name and let go
Click the heading of the Album column until it reads Album by Artist
Select the first track of the first album
Scroll down the list until you see the last track of the last album beginning with C
Hold down shift and click that last track
Drag the selection to the playlist name and let go, don't copy duplicates
Drag this playlist to the device, or better yet go to automatic syncing and sync the playlist. You can then edit for the next update when the device isn't connected. You can also create additional playlists for stuff you "must have" on the iPod, new stuff etc. Automatic syncing is easier, more powerful, and more selective than manual management.

How do you merge artists in iTunes 11?

For example, how can I tell iTunes 11 that "The Grateful Dead", and "Grateful Dead" are not separate artists? I have tried changing the info in the Get Info option when you right click, but to no avail.

I have been having this exact same issue with the exact same artist as well! I tried doing just what you menitoned but it is not changing anything. When Artists are selected at the top I have The Grateful Dead, Grateful Dead, Grateful Dead, The and a couple others.
When I copy and pasted the exact same "The Grateful Dead" into both Artist and Album Artist nothing is changing in my list of artist. Everything remains the same! I'd be Grateful for some help to consolidate this mess...
Thanks
