Album names not wanted

Hi,
When I import music into the Zen Micro, it always seems to use the album name.
I deleted all ambum names from the MP3 tags
When exporting mp3 files to the zen I get
Bruce Springsteen
unknown
Born in the USA
Tunnel of love
The ri'ver
How do I get rid of the "unkown" so I get:
Bruce Springsteen
Born in the USA
Tunnel of love
The ri'ver
Hope you can help.....
Thanks

OK but can't I export the files form my computer onto the zen without the "album" data.
Now when I choose "Bruce Springsteen" I have to go pass the "unkown" display, click "enter" again before I see all songs from Bruce Springsteen...
All I want is bypassing the "unkown" display....
(strange this can't be done easily...)
Thanks again for your patience

How do I get the itunes stored files on my computer to store by album name not by artist?

How can I get itunes to store my computer music files by album name not by artist? It's a pain retreving a stored album from my external drive.

Are you sure to have the full length file in the library? If you start playing it, will it show the full runtime on the controls?

IPhoto '06 - '08 Import Issues: Album Names Not Imported; Grouped by Date

I imagine my circumstances aren't uncommon... After a clean install of Leopard and iLife '08 on my MacBook, I wanted to import my iPhoto '06 library into iPhoto '08. I had archived on an external hard drive the iPhoto Pictures directory from iPhoto '06 (the directory from ~user/Documents/Pictures/iPhoto Pictures/).
Using the File>Import to Library function in iPhoto '08 and selecting the iPhoto '06 library resulted in all of the pictures coming in, *but they weren't organized in the albums I created in iPhoto '06*. Instead, all pictures were organized into groups by date.
What in the ham sandwich is the proper way to import an iPhoto '06 library so that all of the old album names and organization is maintained in iPhoto '08?
Many thanks for your time!

TD,
Many thanks for the advice. I found one other thing that I wanted to ask about before giving this a whirl.
I noticed that the iPhoto Library in '08 is in fact a package, not a directory. Given that, there are two possible courses of action, and I wanted to know which was best.
1. Delete the iPhoto '08 "iPhoto Library" package and replace it with the '06 "iPhoto Library" directory.
2. Replace the contents of the '08 "iPhoto Library" package with the contents of the '06 "iPhoto Library" directory?
I was uncertain about option 1, as I didn't know how getting rid of the package would affect the application (or if it's needed).
Cheers,
R

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.

Photos album names not syncing with iPhone

I'm having trouble with the new Photos application. I've renamed several of my album names on the app, but in iTunes the changes are not being recognized and thus not syncing to my iPhone either.
Separately, several albums have "x" number of photos in them, but when I sync that album to my phone less than "x" photos actually flow into the album. It's frustrating.
I have rebooted everything (phone, computer, etc.) and I'm running the latest version of all software, so those basic fixes will not work here. Any ideas?!? Thanks in advance for your help...

Photos app not syncing with iTunes

Album names not always showing up in browser

I installed iTunes 7.3 on my MBP (running 10.4.10) this morning, and since then at least one album in my iTunes library have begun to behave strangely. When I use the browser in list view and go to the artist or when I'm showing all artists, the album in question (A Matter of Life and Death by Iron Maiden) doesn't show up. However, it will show up if i search for a song title on the album, and it has the artists and album fields correctly filled out. Once I then go back to browsing all albums or artists, A Matter Of Life And Death is no longer listed. I've already tried removing the files from my library and reimporting them with no luck.
Has anyone else experienced something like this or have any ideas of how to fix it? I know its a slightly convoluted description, but its also a very random problem that none of my co-workers have seen yet. Thanks.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Yup. It wasn't there originally. However, after several reboots of iTunes and my computer and re-imports of the songs, it now works. Thanks for the response though.

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

After sync'ing my IPOD, the songs on my IPOD are separated by the album names from which they were downloaded from. Can I get rid of those album names on my IPOD somehow? I'd like to show nothing but the songs as I search thru the artists......
Please help......Apple/IPOD illiterate.....

Try posting in a more appropriate forum, as this has noting to do with itunes U - the place where University/college/museums post education material.

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 delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name, and no trash can icon appears below most of the pictures the computer just put on my new iPhone 4.

How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone 4? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name when I press "Edit," and no trash can icon for me to click appears below most of the individual photos in the albums the computer just loaded on my new iPhone 4. When I synced the new phone the computer added these photo albums without permission from me. They are now taking up about 3 GB of memory on my phone. I would like very much to get rid of these photos from the phone. How do I do this?

To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

How do I copy just 1 album from my iMac to my iPad mini? I already have many albums there, but do NOT want to sync. don't want All of my pix there.

how do I add just 1 more album to my iPad mini from my iMac (10.8)?

You still have to sync the photos. Just select the photo albums that you want to sync to the iPad. You can include as many albums as you want and remove whichever ones you don't want to sync.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Select the folder from which you want to sync your photos - usually iPhoto on a Mac
Click on all of the albums that you want to include in the sync
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
Any albums that you don't include in the sync preferences will be removed when you sync. So if you want to keep the albums that are already on the iPad, make sure that stay selected to sync.
If you are running iTunes 11 and do not see the sidebar and the iPad name under the devices heading - go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top.

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes? The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

It sounds like you might have the shuffle button at the bottom left of the iTunes (the button with the squiggly lines).
If that's not the case, then maybe you just need to sort your library by album by clicking the album tab at the top.
Is your music in a playlist, or are you trying to play it from the entire library?

Some albums I put on my Mac to later sync with a Touch appears as seperate tracks and not a single album. How do I get them back together again other than a playlist. I do not want the tracks showing up as albums on the Touch?

Are your tracks pat of a collection? Different artists, but still one album? Then mark them a s acollection or set the album artist. See this guide on how to group separate tracks into albums:

How do I reorganize my photos on iPad 2? I need to move (not copy) photos from one album to another. When I use the copy function to another album, and then try to delete an image from the original album, the system wants to delete the photos from all albums. Please help.

You can't do it directly on the iPad - the new album functionality basically only allows you to copy photos into those new albums, you can't move them. The way that I think of it as working is that you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you then delete the original photo on the iPad you therefore automatically delete all the pointers to it.
If you want to re-organise your albums then you will need to do it on your computer and then sync those albums over to the iPad
