Album page is skipped on Ipod

Hey,
I have a 60gb video ipod and I've had this problem ever since I bought it. If I have one album by an artist along with some other songs, with no album tag, the ipod will skip the album page when I select the artist, and go right to the song list. I realize the songs are still in the main song menu, but I cant access them through the artist unless I designate them an album tag. Anyone know how to fix this problem without designating these songs to an album?
Thanks,
Matt

To my knowledge you must designate an album for the songs. I submitted it as a bug to Apple; who knows if they'll fix it though. Browse my other posts on the subject for more info...

  • Full album skips on iPod

    Having a strange problem with my iPod - two albums just skip, without playing, though they appear on the iPod / with correct cover-art, as applied by me.
    I had the old 60GB Photo iPod, which didn't give me too many issues. Just got the 80GB Classic last week, & it's been a ton of trouble since.
    Few years ago (when I got my 60GB), I ripped a lot of my CD's (using EAC/LAME-192)& put them on the Pod, & then made a DVD of the mp3's so I can easily use them again next time. The albums all worked perfectly.
    Got the new 80GB, & transferred (from DVD/HDD) most of my albums to the new iPod. For some strange reason, Dark Side of the Moon, & Wish You Were Here (2 albums I personally ripped), appear on the 80GB, along with the artwork, but if I choose any song (or even the full album), the iPod just skips through. Doesn't even play 1 second of the track/album. Just skips the full thing.
    I connected the iPod to the computer, & through iTunes I was able to play the songs. This is really strange, because the mp3's also play on the old 60GB. I put the same files on both iPods, but it refuses to work on the new one. I even erased it & tried putting it again. No change. I plugged in the old 60, used PodLift to get those two albums out, & put them in the 80GB... still no luck.
    Any suggestions? I don't know what to do about this, & the worst thing is, I was lucky to check those two albums, so I knew they didn't work. I already added around 4000-5000 songs on the new iPod & am now worried that others also might not play at all!
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance!

    Ok, now that you've explained your process, it seems alright. Nothing wrong there.

    Another problem I notice sometimes is also that sometimes I will add an album (ripped by EAC/LAME), but it doesn't get added to iTunes.
    This happens when itunes encounters a file not compatible with it. Even if the file says it MP3, there's something about it that itunes finds unplayable, usually in the encoding process, sometimes in the ID3 Tags.
    It's unfortunate that iTunes ripping quality isn't up to the mark like EAC, otherwise I wouldn't have trouble at all...
    This is how I understand it, itunes' AAC encoder is equal to LAME's MP3 encoder. Itunes' MP3 encoder is inferior to that of LAME's. If you're encoding in AAC anyways, might as well use itunes.
    Besides that, what's worse is both my albums which are giving trouble are Gold CD's, & I'm not too keen on the idea of putting them in a CD/DVD Drive. Just too scared of scratches
    Hmmm...I don't know anything about Gold CDs, and wiki isn't that enlightening. Are they like regular CDs in that, the files are encrypted/encoded as WAV files? It might be due to the source (Gold CDs) that the ipod is having trouble with even if itunes accepts it. The Classics are really particular as to format compatibility and health of the file structure itself than older ipods. A tiny error which older ipods find acceptable becomes unplayable in the Classics. Case in point, I have one song in the Classic that skips mid-song but when the same song is played in my old 4th Gen, there was a squeak, right where the Classic skips, but continues playing.
    Try the steps I've outlined above (except the re-ripping part), if none of them work however, I think you're only choice is to re-rip. In itunes (not EAC/LAME) no less.

  • Skipping Album pages (Index links to Slideshow page)

    is there a way to do this?
    i'm using iweb '08 to set up an online portfolio of sorts. 4 main pages: main/home, resume, portfolio, contact info.
    the portfolio page will contain 4 albums of various types of art/design work and i'd like to skip the actual album page when you click on the album, instead taking you directly to the slideshow page. is this possible?

    I have been trying to do the same thing but haven't had any luck, there must be a way of deleting the page and making a link to the slide show.
    I was also trying to improve image quality iWeb seems to make the images very soft even if I pump up the sharpness it doesn't seem to make any difference.

  • Keeping iWeb album pages intact after transferring domains

    My company needs to transfer iWeb sites to other computers so that multiple users can edit the sites. We know how to transfer the domains, but when the sites are opened on the other computers, the photo album pages are missing. This is obviously because those photos don't exist in the new computer's iPhoto.
    My question is: Is there a way to save photo album pages to iWeb so that when the iWeb domains are transferred the photos stay intact? I don't want us to have to send photos all over the place where the new users must upload them into their own iPhoto, etc.

    iWeb is a "single user" application and each user account has their own special folder and "package" file that is used by iWeb.
    Multiple user accounts to one of these "packages" is very impractical.

  • Is there any reason photos in an album page display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

    Is there any reason photos in an album page created in iweb display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

    there are three displays in photos page:
    1) thumbnails grid - smallest
    2) deatial view and detail view slideshow - large
    3a) pop-up slideshow - vary - this is slideshow.html
    3b) or iphone/ipad slideshow phoneshow.html - iphone/ipad can't do pop-up
    it's difficult to know which you refer to.
    if you refer to pop-up slideshow then you should not look into iwebmediagrid.js as wyodor suggested.
    instead look in phoneshow.html and change width and heigth of element id slideshow:
    #slideshow {
    position: relative;
    width: 320px; /* this is default width */
    height: 360px; /* this is default height */
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    overflow: hidden;

  • Can't drag images into new album page

    Just started using iWeb because it seems easy to produce good looking basic pages. I may be missing something obvious, but having trawled all through this forum and iWeb help, I can't work out why the album page won't accept images dragged from the iPhoto tab of the media browser.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the prompt reply Mr Old Toad. In fact, despite the title of "Album Page" seeming to be self explanatory (usually the case with Mac software & why I love it so much) and the software instructions which say "Drag photo and movie pages here to make them accessible from one place", this time I have discovered by messing around that you have to add a "photos" page while the Album page is selected on the left. You then drag the required images into the photo page (not the album page). Each additional photo page added appears on the Album page as it is added.
    One of the first methods I tried was to create an album in iPhoto and attempt to drag that into the album page. Didn't work, hence my request on this forum. So, looks like I answered my question myself. I still appreciate your diligent attention to this forum Mr Old Toad. I'm sure there will be a future problem that may not be so easily solved and that your or another's suggestion will come to the rescue.
    Thanks

  • IWeb 09' photo album page cannot be displayed on IE7/8

    I have created a photo album page with iWeb 09'. Publish to a folder and test on Windows system (IE6/7/8). All photo frames cannot be displayed, but just the title and some text. The page is blank afterwards with background colour only. Firefox for Windows is fine. Anything I can do as there is no other option for export / publish webpage to folder...... thanks a lot.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As you probably know IE is a very poor browser. Roddy has published tips on getting iWeb pages to load more efficiently in IE: http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebandInternetExplorer.html.
    He has posted other tips here:

  • Movies on photo album page not working correctly

    I have movies on some photo album pages, and only since updating to Snow Leopard, when I click on a movie, the sound begins to play, but the picture sticks on the poster frame. If I go "back to album" and click the movie again, it will usually play normally. What gives? Anyone else have this happening?

    I have a similar problem with movies. Put a movie made on the iphone into a space holder place on a Blog page. Got the green plus sign and it played on the page.
    After publishing I see the first frame on the main blog page, but when I click read more to see the movie and whole blog entry I get a faded quicktime symbol with a question mark symbol in the middle.

  • Vertical Pictures Cut Off in Photo Album Page

    On my photo albums page, the picture I want to use as the first picture is a vertical picture. But on the albums page, the albums are all horizontal. So when someone goes to look at my albums page, they just see these cut-off pictures with heads missing. Is there a way to change the orientation of the albums so they are vertical? Or is there a way to edit the first picture so that you can move the picture down so at least the head is showing in the horizontal view?

    Hi Kara,
    the only solution I can find is to drop a vertical photo into the MyAlbums page and cover the album with it (thus hiding the other head-less photo) linking that photo to the photopage.
    However this will cause the effects moving the pointer over the album cover (skim, dissolve, ...) to disappear.
    As far as I know albums can't be rotated and vertical photos are cut off and you can't tell iWeb not to cut them off...
    Regards,
    Cédric

  • Photo and album pages

    OK this seems to be too hard for someone to answer, mmmm
    I am having problems with photo and album pages, I drag and drop photos to the page, looks good when I am building them but when I send them out into cyberspace, NO can C, not on the page, the page is there but no photo.
    Could anyone like to take a punt at the answer to this is PLEASE.
    Many Many Thanks for your help in this

    The same is happening to me. I first noticed it at the beginning of this month. Everything looks good on the iWeb creation page (pictures are visible) but after you publish and visit the published site online, the pictures are GONE. You can scroll down as if the pictures were taking up the space but no pictures. I click on the other tabs that I have with other events (which previously had pictures on them too!) and they're gone as well.
    I'm using iWeb '08 version 2.0.4 on my OS 10.5.5 and I used iPhoto 7.1.4
    Can anyone help fix this!??!?!

  • Creating an album page does not display all the albums?

    I am trying to create a page that has an index with "poster frames" as reference of all the pages that I have with movies. I dragged and dropped all at once 10 video clips onto the album button but on the album page only 7 clips are visible. In my sidebar the 10 videos are listed as being there and when I select them they show up. Why don't they all show up visible on the album page? Has anyone else experienced this problem or is it just me?

    What's the URL so we can examine the page?

  • Exporting album pages to folder as JPEG...not working

    I am a professional photographer and use aperture to deign my books.  Since I have upgraded aperture I am now unable to export my album pages to a folder as a jpeg.  I can only export them as PDF's through the mail program which greatly decreases the image quality.  Below is the error message that I get.
    I keep doing aperture updates thinking they will fix the problem, but they don't fix it.
    Can anybody help me?

    How do you do the export "album pages to a folder as a jpeg"?
    For me it works fine, when I use "Print > Print to pdf > Save PDF to folder as jpeg": Aperture 3.3.1, MacOS X 10.7.4
    Where is it different for you?

  • How do I add an album to the album page

  • Default display for iweb photo albums page

    I am trying to make a web site using i web with several different photopages. I am using an albums page but the default display for the album covers is landscape. Can anyone tell me how to make them portrait so my pictures on the album cover are not cropped?

    Hi,
    this sounds to me ridiculous. This has to be considered as bug, not limitation as I am allowed to put pictures in portrait to my "Pictures"-template site. How can I contact Apple regarding this issue as on their support page they seem to hide the way to contact them in case of troubles... Bad customer care Apple...

  • Album Page not publishing correctly

    I've been using iWeb09 for about a year now for a small gallery. I've never had any problems until I recently tried to create an album page. Setting up the page was easy but I can't get it to publish correctly. Only 2 of the 8 albums appear on my website. I've tried re-building the page from scratch, I tried downsizing the file size of the images, I tried uploading the images through fetch instead directly uploading through iWeb's FTP, nothing has worked. You can find the offending page here:
    http://www.homeskooledgallery.com/HomeskooledGallery/Photo_Albums/PhotoAlbums.html
    Since the page doesn't work I have been Publishing the site without this page on the navigation bar so the only way to find it is by copying and pasting the address directly. I appreciate any and all help!
    Thanks!

    your pictures file names contain space , iweb albums/photos page use picture file names to create sub folder (inside Media folder), here is your media folder:
    http://www.homeskooledgallery.com/HomeskooledGallery/Photo_Albums/Pages/Clean-Up_Your_Own_Messfiles/Media/
    most if not all servers do not allow special characters in directory/file path, so no directories were created. hence missing thumbnails, ie:
    http://www.homeskooledgallery.com/HomeskooledGallery/Photo_Albums/Pages/Clean-Up_Your_Own_Messfiles/Media/Clean-Up%20Your%20Own%20Mess%204/mip.jpg
    notice the %20 in the url? they are spaces, you need to remove spaces and special characters from your pictures file names and re-do all your albums/photos pages.
