Why is it that some songs get listed on their own even though they are part of an album?

Why is it that some songs get listed on their own even though they are part of an album? They are always songs that I had on my computer not imported from a cd using iTunes. I have verified that all the info is correct and matches the other songs in the album. Sometimes I can check the "compilation" box on all the songs in the album and that will put them in order and in the same listing. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.

Good One CL.
What I did in this case is select all the songs in the album and select Get Info and see if Album Artist and Album and Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist and Sort Album are the same.

When I try to sync my iPhone with my library it says no songs can be found in library even though they are there?

Can anyone help with this?
Thanks

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the Itunes Media file directory

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the itunes Media Dir. I have spent hours trying to find out why so I moved the songs out of the Music/itunes/itunes media and uninstalled itunes. I then restarted my pc and re-installed itunes. When I opened itunes the same songs are still there (but cannot be played as cannot find location) even though I have not put anything back in the itunes media dir. To me there seems to be a refreshing problem as itunes is not looking at the directory even through the advanced preferences area is mapped to the correct area.
Help please.
Thanks

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.
See also Make a split library portable for some thoughts on best practice when it comes to organizing the library and media files.

Songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there

songs are not showing up in playlists even though they are there

If you've downloaded them on the iPad then they should be in the Videos app - iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store (the Purchased tab shows what content that you can re-download from the store and rentals can't be re-downloaded, and non-rental films can only be re-downloaded in some countries).

Why users are not able to see certain printers even though they are in the Airgroup server table

Q: Why users are not able to see only certain printers even though they are in the Airgroup server table ?
A: In certain scenarios we may notice printers come up under the server /cache entries on the controller.
However when an airgroup user does search for printer, they may not see all the printers, certain printers may be not visible .
This is because the service IDs sent by the user in the MDNS query are not broadcast by these printers
In the below capture the Ipad sends query for service id "_universal_sub_ipp_tcplocal" and "_universal_sub_ipps_tcplocal" and hence the controller will
respond with the printers that broadcasts these service ids.

In order to learn other printers we may need to use specific app provided by printer vendor on the client or configure the printers to send these service IDs.

The net 451 issues made it not work after a while but it affected the entire RWW site not just remote access:

Careful if you try and uninstall it, you'll need to put back net 4.0 and reconfigure some stuff.

Make sure the users have installed the certificate they need and turn on compatibility mode in IE (also make sure IE isn't locked down and disabling activeX).:

Why does Indesign say I have missing fonts even though they are in my packaged document?

I use CS4 on my pc at work, and always package my files, as I have always done on my mac at home, to keep the links and fonts together so that when I send someone a folder, all of the fonts and images work. For some reason, the packaged graphic designs (created on a mac) that are being sent to us from our graphic designer, all of my fonts are lost - even after having purchased the main one that we use - Gotham - to prevent this from happening. This also occurs with any designs that I package and send out to others in our office. I always have to relink the Gotham fonts, and I cannot retrieve the formatting for the fonts that we don't have, even though they are packaged.
We are considering purchasing a mac for me to use in the office, but I'd like to make sure that it is not user error before we proceed.
Any ideas would be wonderful. I never had this problem with my mac at home with packaging, and it has me confused and frustrated at work.
Thanks!

Since CS6 is the current release, upgrading to CS5 is a near impossibility, and EVERYONE will need to upgrade in lockstep or you'll be worse off than you are now with users of your newer version creating files that cannot be opened by users of CS4 (and your CS4 packages won't automatically install the fonts in the documents in the later versions without manually changing the names of the packaged fonts folders).
As far as font formats, if you are going to collaborate cross-platform, the font of choice is OpenType, which is 100% cross-platform compatible, and second choice is Windows TrueType which also can be installed on Mac OS X (so, essentially, also cross-platform). Last choice would be to use Windows Type1 which can be installed in the private InDesign Fonts folder in the Mac applications folder and will work in ID, but nowhere else. Any of these would allow everyone to use the same fonts, presuming you all purchase the same versions. Purchasing Windows versions and Mac versions of the same font usually works, but there may be little surprises, and you probbly don't want that.

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. What can I do?

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. Some clips are fine in the movie, but most are just black and when I hover over them, it says source clip missing. How to I fix this? Thank You

I did that too, then I did a migration assistant to a new Mac and ALL of my movies have Source Clip Missing now, even though the original clips are still in the iPhoto Videos. I can stand to re edit one or two projects, but not ALL.

I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

How are the pWWN list populated in DCNM even before they are logged-in to the switch?

Hello All
DCNM v6.2.3
I see that the hosts are not logged-in to the switch, however via DCNM when I try to create device alias I find the pWWNs populated which are not logged-in. How are the pWWN list populated in DCNM even before they are logged-in to the switch?
Thanks

This is definitely not happening automatically ? would be magic ! you can do it of course manually.

HT201274 I am unable to transfer my songs from my ipad to my iPhone even though they are both registered to the same apple Id

I am unable to transfer my songs from my ipad to my iPhone even though they are both registered to the same apple Id

How are you trying to accomplish this? You can't transfer media directly from one iDevice to another. You should be transferring your purchased items to your iTunes library on the computer you sync them with, then syncing them from there.
You should be able to re-download media from the iTunes store using the same Apple ID used to purchase it to begin with.

Get rid of newsstand app i have kids. i dont want them to even search on ****. even though they are blooked from downloading., get rid of newsstand app i have kids. i dont want them to even search on ****. even though they are blooked from downloading.

Get rid of the newsstand app or put parental controls on it. Apple is being irresponsible. I want my kids to be able to read books with their iPod but not be exposed to ****.Even though they can't download it I don't want them to search or browse on **** topics.

If you've set parental controls up for the app store then you've done all you can to prevent your children from finding/viewing content you dont want them to see in newsstand. Here is some information about newsstand:
Newsstand is a folder that organizes your subscription apps. While it does appear in Recent Apps like an app, you cannot place Newsstand in another folder.
Each publication is a standalone app. For additional assistance or information for that publication, refer to the app's built-in help or App Store listing.
Newsstand-compatible apps automatically move to Newsstand. Tap and hold apps to arrange them in Newsstand.
Note: You cannot drag other publications into Newsstand.
If a subscription app or publication does not appear in Newsstand, verify that the app supports the Newsstand feature.
So all the parental controls you've placed on the app store are effectively placed on newsstand.

Some songs don't show up on iPod, but they are there

I have an 80GB iPod classic. I have all my songs in iTunes, and I have manually synced them to my iPod. When I view my iPod through iTunes, I can see all the songs and play them. However, when I look on my iPod directly, some songs don't show up when I browse by Artist, Song, etc.
The only way to play them on my iPod is to add them to a Playlist, and then they are accessible. However, if I want to listen to Eminem, for instance, I want to just browse to it in the Artist area.
The songs do have all of the appropriate info, and I have tried Restore and still nothing. These songs used to show up on my old, original iPod, so I am for a complete loss. Please help!

This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

Why are certain songs being transferred over to my laptop over and over again through Homesharing even though they are already in my new library?

So I recently bought a new Windows laptop and tried using homesharing to transfer my songs from my computer, but I got really frustrated and confused. Certain songs keep being transferred through homesharing to my new library even though I already have a copy of the song in the library. I checked to see if I had the actual file in my media folder and it was there, so why do the songs keep being copied? And, if possible, can someone also explain how to transfer playlists? I know Apple said to export/import playlist but what does that mean?

Yup, same issue.
Playlist - Right-click on the playlist and select export, it will create a .txt file.
On the other computer File/Library/Import Playlist, select the txt.file.
Or, just select the Playlist in homeshare and select it and hit import.
For some reason when you select "Items not in my library" it is does not show files correctly, if you purchased it in iTunes, they show correctly, or if you loaded them, they don't.

Can't get transferred songs to appear on player even though they are in the right folder on new computer

I have moved music from old computer to new one through externaI drive. They are in the proper folder for Itunes to find them (I did authorize the new computer) but they do not appear in the list when I call up nItunes. I did try to import them through the add fule to library, but it only seems to work one siong at a time. I want to add rhem all at one time.

Was the ENTIRE iTunes folder copied, just the iTunes Media, or just the media files themselves?
If properly moved, there should be no issue.
Assuming the ENTIRE iTunes folder was moved:
Close iTunes.
Hold SHIFT and launch iTunes. Continue holding SHIFT until the locate or create a new library option is presented.
Point iTunes to the correct location for the iTunesLibrary.itl file, this will be the folder that was copied from the old computer.
Everything in iTunes on the new coputer should be exactly as it was on the old computer.

Why is it that some songs get listed on their own even though they are part of an album?
