When i sync my iphone, compilation albums show as individual tracks, how can i get these to show as one album

please help!!

Hi mark475,
Sometimes, iTunes may separate songs based on the data stored within the file:
There are three reasons why songs from the same album may not be grouped together
- The album names of the songs may differ slightly
- The songs from the same album may have different artists
- Not all songs in the album have the same "Album Artist" assigned to it
The following article may provide a resolution to your issue:
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

You can mark these songs as a compilation in iTunes. In iTunes 8 and later, you find the option to mark multiple items as "Part of a compilation" in the Options tab of the Multiple Item Information window.
Thanks,
Matt M.

    Synch your contacts back from whichever program on your computer you've stored them in (Outlook, Address Book) or from your cloud service.
    Not using your phone as indended and didn't have your contacts on your computer or with a cloud service?  Then they're gone.

  • All my photo's are on iCloud from an old iphone which I no longer have. How can I get these on my new iPad?

    Hi, could someone help me recover my photo's please.
    I took all the pic's of my kids using a works iPhone and uploaded them using photo stream. I am no longer with that company and don't have access to the phone. I can see the backup file in iCloud, but when I switch photo stream on with my new iPad, the pictures aren't downloading to it.
    How do I do this please.
    Thanks

    Hi...
    Photo Stream is a syncing service, not a storage service, so if your company deleted the photos from the phone they would also delete from the stream.
    Photos are only available for 30 days, after which they "roll off" and are deleted. The backup file that you can see is not the Photo Stream, as this does not count towards your storage space.

  • Why when I sync my Iphone to my Mac all my Calendar to do´s appear as though due for one hour later than they show inmy computer? Does anyone know how to fix it??

    Hi,
    can any one tell me why  when I sync my Iphone to my Mac all my Calendar to do´s appear as though due for one hour later than they show in my computer? Does anyone know how to fix it??

    Not simple enough. Please read the original concern.
    The issue is not "getting music to the new machine" or "authorizing the new machine" or "transferring purchases from an idevice". The issue is that after doing all those things, even creating a backup using the new iTunes/Mac, syncing my device with the new library erases all the app data from the iPhone, as well as folder structure and page layout. Music is expendable in this situation as it's just a matter of moving the files around. (Which I did before I ever started this exercise.)
    The problem is that everything from email accounts to folders are lost when I sync the device with a new computer. I tried this on my iPad first and spent a good deal of time re-arranging everything and getting all the data back. The pictures are just gone. Good thing I backed them up on the old PC.
    It won't be as simple on my iPhone as I have a ton of stuff on it and can't afford to lose anything. Some of the data is gave saves and such, but other things are more important. And I don't want to lose those game saves either.

  • HT1977 I downloaded an app on my PC, signed into my iTunes account, but when I connect my iPhone and click sync, it won't copy to my phone. How can I get this app to install on my phone?

    Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the "Apps" tab, you've selected this app to install on your phone, correct? Hit the "Apply/Sync" button, lower right on the Apps tab, what happens?

  • My iphone is broken,and i came to store to change a new one today. When I come home, I found I lost my backup and may be mistake is made during before backup.The information in my previous iphone is really important for me? how can I get the backup back?

    If you don't have a backup then the only possible solution is to go back to the store and see if they can get your old phone and create a backup of that. I know very often that Apple employees will wipe the returned iPhones clean before shipping them back to wherever they ship them.
    When you say your old phone was "broken" does this mean it is dead and won't turn on?
    Do you have a Time Machine backup of your computer, or a clone that might have this info on it?
    Other than that I hate to say you may be out of luck. Time Machine and/or a cloning program performed regularily will inevitably save your a** in situations like this.
    Good luck

    You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

    The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.

  • Lost all of my data on iphone and have no cloud back up how can i get my data back

    lost all of my data on iphone and have no cloud back up how can i get my data back

    iOS devices do backup automatically to iCloud providing:
    iCloud Backup is turned on
    It has a Wi-Fi connection
    It is connected to a power source
    The screen is off
    5GB is plenty of storage for me to backup to iCloud automatically.
    I have a 64GB iPhone & a 128GB iPad both backing up to the same iCloud account and I still have nearly 2GB free.
    This is mainly because media is not backed up and Photo Stream & iTunes purchases do not count against your iCloud storage.
    Here’s what iCloud backs up:
    Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store.

    I am unable to login to my itunes match since I got a new iphone. Where is my music? how can I get it?

    Hello there, jane_apple_user.
    The following Knowledge Base article reviews the steps for how to add your iOS device to iTunes Match:
    iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913
    To add an iOS device to iTunes Match
    On your iOS device, go to Settings>Music.
      Note: iTunes Match requires iOS 5.0.1 or later; you can find the latest iOS software here
    Tap the iTunes Match switch to On.                 
    To access your music in iCloud, open the Music Player app on your device.
    Your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your device.
    Important:
    When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
    Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
    By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is enabled1. To disable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > Music > Use Cellular Data > Off.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • HT2905 I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

    I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

    In iTunes(on a Mac or PC) just tap on 'Albums' rather than 'Artists' and you'll see them all together.
    You may find that there are songs mislabelled. In which case right tap on the Album or Artist and tap 'Get Info', then change to the correct name and the songs will join the rest of the songs for that Artist or Album.
    Then resync with your iPhone and all will be well.

  • I am adding new photos to my PC windows 7 desktop but they are not syncing to my ipad.  how can i get these photos to sync

    I am adding new photos to  my PC windows 7 desktop but they are not syncing to my ipad when I sync the Ipad.  How can I get these photos into my Ipad?

    Skydiver.
    you and I know that your answer works because that is how I sync my ipad.  I don't have a mac, just a PC with itunes. Now this guy might not even have itunes and is using Windows Media Player or something like that.
    Or maybe he just do not want his problem fixed.  I read these forums and too many of the questions are just way beyond basic computer knowledge, but it seems to happen that they can never resolve a very simple problem.  It makes me wonder if people just post bogus stuff.
    I would like to see registration to the forums attached to the product serial number of the forum you are posting to.  I bet you that the posts would drop dramatically.
