See whole album name?

I can't see the titles of about 3/4 of my music because a lot of my albums have about 20 characters or more in their titles. The iPod can only seem to display about 15 charactes in its album title list, and when looking at the list the last (and usually *most significant*) part of the title is chopped off and replaced with an ellipsis. Is there (a) a way to reduce the font size on the list screens so that I can see the titles, or (b) make the scroll (like the track title does in the playing area)? Up until now I've had to resort to hours and hours spent renaming tracks and albums to be meaningful short names.

My G4 60G colour iPod now scrolls the album names when scrolling through the album list. Great. My G2 10G didn't - so I guess it's another little reason to upgrade.

  • Is there a way to see the full album names on my iPod Touch?

    When albums have long names, they are cut off. This isn't normally a problem, except if the album is part of a multi-disc set, where the names all begin the same way, as shown in this screen shot of my iPod Touch
    At the end of each album name is a number (I, II, III).
    Is there a way to see full album names on iPod Touch?

    Flip the iPod horizontal and look at the cover flow mode. You will be able to see the complete album name, even if you don't have the artwork.

  • Changing ipod album name display

    On itunes on my computer I can personalize how information is displayed. . If I'm clicked on a folder, I can click "View" and then "View Options" and display or hide any info that I want.
    But I don't see these kinds of options for my ipod. . Specifically, I would like to see the album name before I begin playing a song and bring up the song playing screen. . I only see the album name on the current song playing screen. . If I Menu back to check out what I want to listen to next, I can never see the album name. . I can only see the song name and artist name.
    Can I change how my ipod displays the information that it has so that it displays the album name within the playlist BEFORE I select a song to play ?

    If I Menu back to check out what I want to listen to next, I can never see the album name. . I can only see the song name and artist name.
    It all depends how you got to the song playing.
    Go to Music -> Albums and it will do what you want.

  • How to see the whole file names in finder column view?

    Hi guys,
    I like to use finder in column view. However, most of the times, the file names get trunked and I have to redim the column to see the whole names. Other day, without wanting to, I must have pressed some key combination, and the column got redim automatically, so I could read the whole file names. So, my question is if does anybody know how to achieve this?

    I don't know what "redim" means, but if you double-click the column separator, it becomes wide enough for the longest name. If you Option-double-click it, all columns become wide enough for the longest name in each column.

  • Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. When I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000  contacts are not listed

However, when I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000 plus contacts are not listed, and it makes you difficult to call through contact

    The iPhone remembers information about previous contacts.
    Complelely independently, you have a Contacts app with a contacts list.  It sounds like your contacts list has 3 names on it.  You need to add a few names.

  • After downloading to my IPOD, the songs are shown but are also seperated by the album names. Is there a way to not show these album names on the IPOD? I just want to see song titles and nothing else! S

  • Can you play a whole album(CD) or only single songs?

    Is it possible to play a whole album(CD)that you have loaded into your iPod? In other words constant playing of the songs of that artist until it's over. So far I only see capability to play either constant shuffling of your songs or one song at a time as you pick one each time.
    Thanks

    Ya like Chris said, you probably are using the center button which selects (and will open the next level), not plays. So when you go to an album name on the iPod, if you hit play while on that name it will begin to play the album. If you instead hit the center select button you are selecting that album and opening it to the next level. When you hit it again, since you are now on a song, so selecting it plays it since there isn't a lower level to go to. This makes it seem like you have to double click to start an album.

  • Folder and Album names onto CD

    Please bear with me.  I did this before and now I can't figure out how.  Such are the ravages of aging brains.
    I'm trying to copy the music from my old vinyls to CDs I can play in my car.  I have software and a USB connection that let me get the music onto my computer in MP3 form.  Plays back OK on the computer.  I created a playlist in iTunes with a bunch of songs and used iTunes to burn the music onto a CD.  Works fine.
    Here's the problem:  I have 116 songs on one CD that display a title when they play, but there is no other organization.  I did this once before with a bunch of other albums and when I playback the display shows a folder name and an album name.  That way I can skip an entire album or artist easily to get to what I want instead of advancing song by song through dozens and dozens. 
    The new CD I created doesn't have that info, just Unknown Folder or Unknown Album.  Looking at the Properties of the mp3s I created, all the Details/Media are filled in, i.e., Artists, Album Artist, Album, even Year, #, Genre and Length.
    What am I missing?

    Lucky Eddie,
    You are remembering correctly.  Before you burn the MP3 CD, sort the playlist by Album.  That will cause iTunes to burn the MP3 CD with the songs in an Artist/Album structure.
    For more information, see this document:
    iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD
    Look especially at the section "How to burn by album."

  • ITunes Get Artwork:  "Artwork for [album name] cannot be found.  You do not have permission to access the requested resource."

    I just installed iTunes 10.5 (latest version as of 11 Jan 2012), onto a computer running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.  I loaded my music library into it, it compiled the list and separated them by album.  But even though I'd assigned most of the albums artwork through my Zune management software (a Microsoft product), almost none of them populated into iTunes.  So I went through and started asking the software to try to find album artwork where possible.
    I did this a few times album by album, then I decided to select multiple albums and see what happened.  No problems.  Then I selected all of the albums I had--about 600 in all--and asked it to get artwork.  It seemed to process for a bit, then came back with the error, "Artwork for [album name] could not be located.  You do not have permission to access the requested resource."  I tried this on several individual albums, only to receive that same error.
    The very first time I did it, I was told I needed an account with the iTunes store to make it work, so I signed in using an old Apple ID (the account had been inactive for so long it had been locked for security, I unlocked it and that seemed to be that).  Then I did what I described above.
    The weird thing--to me--is that I can still add artwork to the albums manually if I want to, from imagery stored locally on my own computer.  The only thing it seems to have a problem with is when I ask it to go find artwork from the iTunes store.
    Do I need to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it?  Did something go wrong with the process of authorizing the computer to work with the iTunes store?  Do I need to de-authorize and then re-authorize the computer?  Could this be something related to Windows permissions on the iTunes library?

    Right on about how to reset the warnings, it was exactly that.
    I went through the steps to let iTunes through Windows Firewall, but still get the same problem when I access the iTunes store (and even though I followed the steps in the help file to the letter, I notice it still says iTunes is NOT enabled for it).  And now, thanks to the re-enabled warnings, when I try to get it to download artwork for single albums, this is what I get:
    "Artwork for [album name] could not be found.  An unknown error occurred (-50)."

  • How do I print a list of only the album names I have in Itunes.

    I am using Windows 7 on a Dell laptop.

    After you click "Album Listing," you will see a "Theme" pulldown menu that gives you the choice of "Songs by Album" or "List of Albums."  Choose the latter.

  • My music is on a nas loaded by Windows Media Player in WAV. When I import into Itunes only the songs appear no album name etc.

    My music is on a nas. Loaded using windows media player in WAV.
    When I import into Itunes only the record apears, no Album name etc
    How can can I see all the details

    Information is often stored as tags embedded in the file.  WAV does not support tagging. I don't know how WMP works but iTunes keeps its own database about media.  For many audio formats, track information will be stored both in iTunes' database and in the file itself as tags.  With formats such as mp3 most tags (not all) will 'travel' with the file when copied.  This does not happen with WAV where the information is only stored in the player application's database.

  • An easy way to delete a whole album without having to select it's tracks?

    I have only been using iTunes for the past week after purchasing an iPod Nano, and am used to using Wmp 11. In Wmp 11, if you want to delete an album from your local library or dap, you can just right-click the album art and select 'delete'- job done.
    However, in iTunes, I have found I have to make sure my Artist and Album categories are shown at the top of my track list (by clicking the 'eye' button at the bottom right), select the album so just that albums tracks are displayed, select one of the tracks, then Ctrl+A to highlight all the tracks, then press Del. Is there something I am missing here? I have checked the iTunes help, and can't see any other way of deleting a whole album without having to highlight all the albums tracks.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Blimey! Why didn't I think of that? Especially as I knew to press the 'Del' key to delete highlighted tracks. I am assuming you can do the same if you want all an artists album collection removed too- highlight the artist and press 'Del'?
    I think what it is, I am just used to right-clicking with Wmp11, and I am not used to using the keyboard for such tasks.
    Thanks for the reply. I know now my question must seem rather silly.

  • How can I see an album length in iTunes store?

    I'm always interested to see album length when buying new albums. How can I see that in iTunes store? Of course you can see it after you purchase it in your collection, but I want to see the length before I purchase. How, except by manually trying to add it in my head while reading the screen?

    You can change the sort name of your album, but leave the actual name as it is:
    In the info panel for the album change the sort album name of your album "A" to an alphabetical order, so it will be sorted in front of album "B".

  • HT1849 a single album I already bought can work with the whole album using 'Complete my album'?

    I already bought a single album of MUSE (Survival - Single)
    and I wanted to buy the whole album of MUSE (The 2nd Law)
    then I realized that I could buy other songs except for 'Survival' for $10.7 using 'Complete My Album' (Original price is $11.9)
    so I bought 'The 2nd Law' album for $10.7. but there isn't 'Survival' on the 'The 2nd Law' album playlist.
    single album and whole album are seperated on the playlist. how I get the whole album playlist??
    Do I have to buy 'Survival' in the whole album's list to make perfect 'The 2nd Law' album playlist??
    plase help me.

    I have this exact same question / issue too and it is definitely something I would LOVE to see Apple fix ASAP.  It is especially important to me because so many popular artists release Singles (as Single Albums) weeks or even months in advance of their full album coming out.  When I have the choice, I ALWAYS prefer to buy a single song from the album it is on (in case I like the song a lot and want to check out more from that artist) - however, this is often not possible due to the "Single Album" phenomenon.  Sidenote: could you just freakin' get rid of Single Albums altogether (when there is an associated real album)?  They clutter up the See All Albums view horribly - at least give us a filter or something for the real-deal studio albums vs all the junk.
    While it is great that I get "credit" for my purchase from the Single Album towards the real Album (thanks for that Apple), I personally have a strong preference to then see the original single as part of the album instead of as a stand-alone.  It's just cleaner organization-wise, easier from a usability standpoint (you can actually listen to the whole album you bought using the album filter!), etc.  It would at least be nice to have the choice to "convert" the original single to the Album version, if Apple is concerned about forcing the change (I personally would be happy with a forced change, but if given a choice would always convert).
    Please fix this!!!
    My example:
    -Bought Calvin Harris, "Feel So Close (Radio Edit)" back in March '12 (I think it was released in August '11) for $1.29
    -Completed My Album by buying "18 Months" album for $8.70 recently (released Oct 30, 2012)
    -Was happy to pay $8.70 instead of $9.99 (got full credit for the $1.29 I spent on the single) - good job Apple
    -Am now frustrated that "Feel So Close (Radio Edit)" has different Album info, different Album cover art etc - BAD job Apple
    Would love to hear that this is going to be addressed soon - hopefully with a retroactive converter tool too??
    PS  I realize I could manually adjust the metadata for the track to make it match, but I HATE the idea of doing that.  Very clunky solve and I personally would be worried that I missed something or didn't "fully" change everything, the underlying file is not exactly what I would have gotten from the full album version, etc.

  • Organizing by Album Name, Not Year?

    Hi, I'm a newly converted Mac user. Everything has been fabulous so far, and I'm overall very happy with iLife.
    There's one thing that annoys me about iPhoto, though. That is the fact that, after I import my photos, iPhoto automatically sorts them by year. Is there any way to change this, so that it sorts by the album name, rather than the year? I find it very hard to navigate through the years.
    Also, is there a way to create an album within an album? Much of my photo collection is sorted with folders (for example, "Holidays"). "Holidays" has some random pictures in it, as well as more folders, like "Christmas Cruise" or "Spring Break Miami." I want to preserve the organizational architecture of my photo collection. I know that in iPhoto you can create a folder and put albums inside, but from what I remember you can't put pictures in the original folder, only the albums. So is there any way to maintain the structure of my collection?
    Thanks in advance!

    deuce
    You can change how photos are sorted simply by going to the Vuew menu -> Sort Photos, and see the options there.
    You can't really create an album "within and album" but you can achieve an enormous amount using keywords. In this case assign a keyword 'Holiday' and 'Christmas' to a pic. Now using 'Create a New Smart Album' you can create albums that use both keywords, or one, or one without the other etc. Keywording is really very powerful and well worth using.
