1 Album in Itunes.... 2 Albums on Iphone?

Hi There.
Sometimes it's the smallest things that can drive you crazy...
Background: I have a iphone 3gs running iOS 6.1.3 and am using a Macbook Air with itunes 11.0.3.
About 5 out of about 100 of my albums show up as 1 album in itunes, but are split into two albums, under the albums view on my iphone. I have got through and checked every piece of metadata and I can't figure out why it is doing this for the life of me. Also, it isn't like one album has 1, 3, 5, etc. and the other just the missing album (2), but there seems to be overlap on both albums on my iphone... aka (1,2,3) and (1,2,3) on both with a difference or two.  The albums are the Beatles past masters and the white album.
I have implemented a known workaround, which temporarily fixed it, by selecting all of the songs on 1 album and selecting "Part of a Compilations" on the Get Info tab. However since I have itunes consolidating and organizing my library, the Beatles albums are not showing up under a folder called "Compilations", which just isn't right!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, so I can sleep soundly tonight! Thanks in advance for your help and time.
jhhaze

I just re-entered some info and unchecked the missing song's "part of a compilation", I have now the album missing one song, and an album with only that missing song..... I dunno what's happening!
ok ill stop touching it till someone teaches me how to fix it

  • Removing albums from iPhone but not iTunes

    I have the 16gb iPhone and would need to free up space on the device. I need to delete albums from the iPhone but not the iTunes library.
    Any suggestions?

    You have been manually managing music and videos from the start, or your switched to this from syncing?
    When switching from syncing to manually manage, all iTunes content on your iPhone should be erased first.
    Since you are manually managing music and videos selected, you manually drag music and videos from your iTunes library to your iPhone in the iTunes source list to add music and videos to your iPhone. To remove music and videos from your iPhone, you need to delete the music and videos from your iPhone.
    Open your iPhone under devices in the iTunes source list - select the right facing arrow pointing it down, which will reveal Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc. Select Music to reveal all music that is available on your iPhone. Select the music that you want to remove from your iPhone followed by delete.
    In regards to syncing - when syncing selected playlists, you remove songs from the playlist or playlists in iTunes that is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync to remove the songs from your iPhone. If you want to keep the music in your iTunes playlists in iTunes but remove select songs from your iPhone only, select sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Uncheck the songs that you want removed from your iPhone in the playlists in iTunes followed by a sync. To remove an entire playlist from your iPhone, deselect the playlist under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.

  • Downloaded album from iPhone iTunes and only got half of the album

    Downloaded album from iPhone iTunes and only got half of the album. Where is the rest of the album? My iTunes account showed that I was charged for the full account>

    Welcome to the forums!
    I'd contact the iTunes store and explain your situation. While they normally do not allow duplicate downloads the iPhone and Store interface is brand new and bound to have some issues to start with. I'd suspect they'll just allow you to download it again or credit your account.

    You can replace the back glass or get a case.  There are many iPhone repair centers... Google for one.  You can also try the Apple store... I've heard they will replace the back for about $30.

    How do you delete the images in the Iphone images album.  Not the camera roll.  There is an album called Iphone images and there is not a delete option

    The same way you put them on the phone. Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer, click on the name of the iPhone, then the Photo tab. Uncheck the albums you don't want on the phone and click Sync.

  • How do I create new photo albums in iphone? why isn't it organized like in the iPad?

    How do I create new photo albums in iphone? why isn't it organized like in the iPad?

    You can't create new albums on the iPad either. The user interface looks different, but the functionality is essentially the same.
    The route is to create new albums on the desktop, and then sync via iTunes.

  • Transferring photo albums from iPhone to new laptop help?

    My old computer crashed all my data is not recoverable. I have some phone albums on iPhone 5 that I want to download to a new computer, but I can't get them to show up in iTunes or iPhoto when I sync my phone. The only images that download are the ones from the camera roll. Any suggestions on how I could save these images?
    Thank you.

    Photos outside the camera roll can only be transferred to the computer if you use 3rd party software, like Touchcopy for example, just to name one of the many a search will bring up.

  • How to import photo from album in Iphone into computer?

    How to import photo from album in Iphone into computer?

    You can't. You can import from the Camera Roll only.
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process should remain on your computer. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported. These photos should remain on your computer and be included with your computer's backup.
    There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost.
    Here is one such utility.

  • How do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    how do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    Are you asking about albums created in the "Photos.app" ?
    In the Photos app, click edit, then click the red minus icon that appears.
    For albums you created on your computer and synced to your device using iTunes:
    These albums can only be deleted by syncing again with your computer and deselecting the album when syncing.
    All other albums in iPhoto are created automatic as need be (Edited, Flagged, Favorites, Custom (tags), iTunes, Beamed, Photo Box); these albums will be deleted, when the photos inside are no longer present - the edits and tags removed.

  • How do i remove photo albums from Iphone that appear when syncing which I cannot prevent

    Iphone 4.  just synced with laptop and to my horror now have every photo from laptop in albums on my phone which i cannot remove.  Have gone back into sync mode and it wont let me access the albums on phone to delete.  Such ridiculous situation not to be able to delete by choice on phone.  Sync only repeats the process.  Not a happy iphone user.  Can anyone help and suggest a simple way to remove the albums.  Also what to do when syncing to avoid happening again. When syncing,  I dont seem to be able to access my iphone or chose what sync processes i want as the sync only happens as one process including the photos.  Is this a fault??  Cannot believe Apple would make this such a difficult process.  Help appreciated.

    Thanks but it wont let me choose and once the albums on iphone it wont let me remove..... any more thoughts??
