How to fix split albums?

Lots of my albums in iTunes end up split. For instance, 8 songs will be listed in one album, the other two in their own individual albums.
I've done the fixes that I normally see:
- choose PART OF A COMPILATION, save.
- rename album name for all, save
- make sure sort-by options are all the same (or uncheck them)
None of these issues seem to fix it. Most of the fixes I see are for iTunes 7 and 8. Are there any new fixes out there nowadays?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

HT1449 How to fix split itunes media folder?

I must have changed the location of my itunes media folder in the past. Now I have half of my media folder in one location and half in another. I don't want to consolidate files because my music is in a shared location. Is there a way to fix this? That is, just combine the itunes media folder into the new location but don't move any media outside of the media folder? I can edit xml if necessary.
thanks

Looks like when you ask a question from the main screen even though I picked windows 7 it posted to the mac forum. If someone knows how to move this to the windows forum please do so. The question is somewhat generic though so it probably would be OK to answer here. Thanks.

In the music library how can I split albums that have grown too big?

I have an album of 70 podcasts and there is not enough space on the page to display all the info of the title of the podcast particularly the date. I want to divide these titles among 4 or 5 subalbums to allow more space for display

The solutions is either of the following:
Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
Copy the photos back into the exact same folder and folder location that they were in before
I don't know what you actually did "when I pasted it back" ... but the bigger issue is that you shouldn't be working with these files in your operating system, period. Once you import them into Lightroom, you don't manage these files in your operating system.

How to fix scattered album artwork on iphone

Hi, please can somebody, don't know what has happened but all the album artwork on my iPhone is scattered and shows a different artist when playing an album or song, thank you

There is no way to change the media artwork on an iPhone. The instructions you found applies only to iTunes on your computer.

I just got my dads old iPhone 4. I restored it to factory settings and set it up with my apple id. The albums in my music are fine in iTunes but on my phone the albums are split and each song is its own album. Does anybody know how to fix this?

My dad has recently gotten a new phone and I got his old one. With his permission I restored it to factory settings and set up the iPhone 4 as a new phone with my apple id. Everything has downloaded fine but I have had many problems with my music. First it was where my phone didnt recognise my apple id, but I figured that out. Then it was where iTunes took one of my albums and split it so all the songs where their own albums. I fixed the album split on iTunes but its still like that on my iPhone. I have looked online everywhere and I still haven't found a solution! I'm getting super frustrated! Does anybody know how to fix this?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

How to fix album splitting

Has anyone ever had the problem where iTunes takes 1 song from an album and put it as a seperate album that has the exact same information as the original and no matter how many times you change the information so that they're exactly the same they are still always split? Does anyone know how to fix this?

See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, still too many covers.

How do I split my albums in iPhoto, so not albums to bee seen, only 1?

How do I split, or seperate, my albums in iPhoto, so not all albums can be seen at once?? This, if I send the link to someone, about +one specific album+.
Some albums are for other eyes only.......
Now, it seems, that everybody can see ALL the albums, after they have received the link for just 1 album.....
Help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you're referring to MobileMe albums created from iPhoto bring up the Info window while viewing the gallery and click on the Change Settings button.
Next check the Hide album on my gallery page checkbox and set the Album Viewable by: to Everyone. Now you can send the URL for the gallery to visitors and when they go to the gallery they will not see the other albums.

This will give you a galley like this one: Space Station Photos. It's isolated from the other albums in my gallery.

If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Then
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

TS1424 When downloading an album from itunes one song did not download properly and is cut off at the end, how to fix?

Downloaded John Mayer album bur one song is cut off at the end, how to fix??

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that song from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Importing vinvl albums via garage band have to import tunes individually .tunes willnot recombine into one album. I understand that it is because data available on cd's is not present on vinyl..any clues on how to fix this?

mac version 10.9.4.
importing vinyl albums via garage band. Have to import tunes individually as tunes will not retain individusl otherwise. trouble is they will not rejoin as one album in iTunes.I understand it is because data available on cd's is not on vinyl imports . Any clues on how to fix this?

"Have to import tunes individually as tunes will not retain individusl otherwise." -- I don't understand this sentence.
iTunes will not assign track names to items imported from vinyl. You will have to label the files yourself in the Get Info window. As long as you give all the tracks on an album the same album information and the same artist information they should group together. if the artists differ then you need to give all the tracks one common album artist (often "Various Artists")in addition to individual track artist.

How do I split an album off??

I just added three albums (parts 1,2 and 3) but iTunes saw fit to add them to an existing album. I now have four albums in one - one of them is Pop and the other three are religious. How do I split the Pop album off by itself?

No that is what is odd - the names of three of them are the same (Parts 1,2, and 3) but the other is nothing like them.

My background images do not bleed in the Family Album theme if I put photos on top of the background image. Does anyone know how to fix this?

My background photos in the Family Album theme do not bleed when I put another photo on top of them. Does anyone know how to fix this in iphoto 9?

Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing on that page? In the meantime try this basic fix: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Album art screwed up how to fix?

In preparation for getting an iPhone I installed iTunes 7.7 pointed it at my music directory (that Media Player 11 in Vista is using it, but with the "allow iTunes to organise directory" option off).
I told it to add all files in that directory and skip the WMAs just to see what it was like as I have some unprotected mp3s. It some how picked up some album art from some where (auto-download is off) but it looked all blurry - probably due to low res - so I right-click and tell it to download artwork and this does nothing, (on those missing artwork I got a nice good quality image). So I find a decent quality image on Google and try and paste it into the mini artwork viewer in the bottom left - which even had a paste option - but it doesn't update.
Please help how to get it to use newer artwork?
I've tried deleting the contents of the itunes/artwork folder but that didn't help.

Hi,
This is my British Keyboard layout
This is the same Layout using the ALT (OPTION) key as the Modifier.
This is the asme keyboard using just the Shift key
The layout tends to be referred to a QUERTY layout and is the common part of most Western European based langauges (as far as I am away and to the places those languages are now found)
From your first post it would appear that you have a AZERTY layout chosen.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AZERTY
From the Map on that page it would appear that you are listing the French option as the main choice.
From the System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources
It tends to show Upper case but it seems to fit with your first post.

TS1468 Albums split & Album Names Disappear

I'm sorry, but not only did songs from the same album now get split but all my CD imported album names disappeared and therefore my album art is missing! I know how to fix it, the question is why should I have to fix it in the first place? I have 1000's of songs from CD's, so fixing this for every album problem I have will take days!!! What's up Apple?!? Why do you always break what don't need fixin'?!?

Not sure what Apple means by "compilation," but just checking that with a grouped selection doesn't necessarily combine them into an album (for me). The artist seems to be a factor, too. I have several collections of tunes from the same CD (or two CDs together) that have different artists and are not recognized as the same album even when "Compilation" is checked for the selected group. Other similar CDs I've imported do become one album (naturally). Apparently, iTunes uses some additional factor to identify the members of an album, and I don't know what this is . . . yet. Examples of where I'm having problems are with "samplers."
