Album sorting with different authors

Hi,
I'm trying this new "cover" view where you can sort you library by album, which i find great. BUT how do we manage album where each song or so has a different singer ??? It is sorted as if each song is a different album... How can i do to regroup all the song from a same album so i have only one cover and not 15 times the same one ?
tx a lot for your help !

You must select all the song that are in the same album, then you right click and select something like "informations" (i have the french version, it says "obtenir des informations").
There you'll be able to modify the option for all the file selected. You look at the bottom to the left, there should be an option "compilation" (sorry i don't know how to translate this word), by choosing "yes", it will regroup all the songs.
here you go

  • Same request with different Author

    Hi,
          I have created the program ,the request created for the same . But after sometime, I got a call that the program is changed.While watching the versions ,  it was found that, same request is created with different author. Now my problem is it has the same request number ,but has 2 versions . How could this happen. And give me the solution.
    Thanks,
    Mohan ram

    Hi Mohan,
    This is possible because of below mention reason :
    1) Someone has changed the ownership of the transport request. and created a new version.
    2) Manually table E070/E071 has been changed. You can see the details in this table for your transport request.
    If you want to resolve the issue first change the owner, if you are not the owner of your TR. If it is belongs to you then directly Retrive the older version.
    Hope this will help you out.
    With Best Regards,

  • Albums with different artists appear separately in Album view.

    Hi,
    As can be seen in the screen shot below, Album view displays songs separately if they are from different artists but from the same album.
    this is also a problem in iPhone 3G album view. I see multiple copies of album name each with different set of songs. As, a result I can't choose an entire album and am forced to make playlists for albums.
    please help me fix this…

    HI AceNeerav,
    I know this is a bit late... But maybe it will help someone else in the future!
    I resolved this annoying problem on albums that were split out by "one album per song", even if they came from the same album (and they were purchased through the iTunes Store, BTW!).
    Turns out all my albums with this problem where COMPILATIONS, and for some reason, the artist has to be unique for iTunes to see it as being part of the same album.
    So here are the steps I took to resolve this:
    In iTunes, select all the songs from the same album (which do not appear as being from the same album);
    Right-click and select View Info (or CMD+i);
    In the Album Artist field (not the Artist field), type a keyword. In my case, I chose "Various Artists".
    Press OK.
    Presto! Everything was sorted out!
    Hope this helps anyone with the same frustration!

  • In I-Tunes, how can I consolidate multiple copies of the same album with different tracks into one file in my library screen?

    In Windows 7 , I tunes library/ albums, I have many albums ( all the same) with different tracks in each.
    Is it possible to consolidate the multiple cover photos into one ?

    Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things, if not see Grouping tracks into albums.

  • 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.

  • Can I transfer my hand made album sequence (sort order) defined in element when I turn a local album into a mobile album used with IPAD. Or do I have to change the dates artificially?

    Can I transfer my hand made album sequence (sort order) defined in elemenst when I turn a local album into a mobile album used with IPAD. Or do I have to change the dates artificially?

    Andrew, I know I am extremely late to the party but I too use Grid View.  I had the same problem that you had but have found this to work for me.  I used it and it is still holding as my default sorting even after switching between the Artist page and Grid View.
    Once you are inside of the Artist page continue to click on the Album column until it shows Album by Artist/Year.
    That will give you each album sorted by the year instead of it randomly sorting it for you each time you leave an Artist's page and then back again.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes sharing among iPhones with different Apple ID's one computer WITHOUT home sharing, shared folder, etc...

    I feel like I am losing my mind, here. A few things I want to clear up before you read my question:
    No, I am not new to Apple. Yes, I understand that Home Sharing works for any group of devices authrized with my Apple ID. Home Sharing is not my issue.
    1. My wife and I have different iPhones with different Apple IDs.
    2. We only have one computer, on which iTunes is running under my Apple ID.
    3. My iTunes library is far too large to paste into a shared folder. I keep my source folder on a 1TB external hard drive (not enough space on my iMac).
    I just want her to be able to plug in and copy music onto her phone from iTunes. Home sharing is great while she's at home on the wifi, but not when she leaves. I created her own user name on my computer, set her iTunes (under her Apple ID) to pull from my library source file, and she can play everything fine, except that she cannot click and drag files onto her phone.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    iTunes Match is associated with one, and only one, iTunes Store Apple ID and country-specific store. The service cannot be shared between Apple IDs.

    If we sign up for iTunes with the one account with the majority of the songs, is Home Sharing no longer available to the other two accounts? 
    Of course it is. iTunes Match has no affect on Home Sharing.
    Indy Apple Guy wrote:
    A.  What happens to the songs on the other two libraries?  Can we never use them?
    It is possible to consolidate the tracks from the other iTunes libraries into one and use that for iTunes Match. Make sure the one computer that hosts the library is authorized to play any protected content.
    Indy Apple Guy wrote:
    C.  If we purchase songs/albums while in iTunes Match, and then decide not to use Match in the future, do we lose all our music?
    Of course not. Any purchases go to the purchase history for the Apple ID that bought them and as long as the tracks are downloaded and backedup you'll have them as long as you maintain them. Keep in mind that iTunes Match is a service; you don't do anything "in" iTunes Match. It simply "is" in the background.

    D.  If we associate our child's iTouch, will it still keep the parental controls in place so it won't play certain songs that are not appropriate f
    Yes, parental controls should continue to work as they have. Although I do not use them, perhaps someone else with experience will weigh in.

  • How can I sort audobooks by author?

    I just bought a new ipod touch with 64gb.
    i'm used to sort my audio books in itunes 'reading' or 'radio play'.
    now i must found out that ipod touch show all my audio books just after the title.
    is there a way to change to different view like 'by author'?

    For sure. That is a life saver for me till I get a Sort by Author option on the Right Most menu. Currently when I need to find a book by its author I click the middle selection which does not sort books by the Author but gives me the option to see all the books by each author in my Library. Thing is I can not organize me Book Rack sorted by the author. I can organize it by the Title. Or I can organize it Manually, now that is a huge job. Not worth the time it will consume.
    Many thanks for your attention.
    Hoping Apple will give us "Sort by Author" option in the right-most button and the Sort option in the View menu; along with the existing Purchases, Title and Manual options.

  • Itunes sort order different in playlist

    I'm having a weird sort order problem... in one playlist - I have the column "album" sorted. The songs names (under "name") for one album sort just fine - the names are "ep 1", "ep 2", "ep 3", etc. and appear in that order.
    However, if I click that album column to sort by "album by artist" - the song order changes. now they are seemingly random (although I imagine there has to be a reason behind the order).
    The sort order of those songs is even different *in another playlist* - ie, they are not even in the same "random" order they show in when I sort them by "album by artist" in the other playlist above. They're in a "different random" order.
    Any ideas?
    Message was edited by: AppleJason

    That's helpful for my issues with iPhone, which are yet another variation on what I'm talking about - but in going through the article, I couldn't find anything that pointed to why my "name" column is not sorting properly for the same artist album.
    Selecting all the songs in that album, get info --> shows the artist, album artist and album names (both album artist and artist are exactly the same) - so my point is there are not some kind hidden character problem - or they wouldn't match and therefore the fields would be blank.
    If the "album by artist" is the primary sort, what does itunes use for the secondary column to sort? This should help me answer the problem.... it sure doesn't look like "name" column is used as 2nd... because it's not sorted!

  • Search for Duplicates with different titles

    Some of us ill organized users have thousands and even tens of thousands of pictures scanned in from old albums, 35mm slides, and shoe boxes full of loose pictures. The result is many duplicates with different names. In Elements one could search on 'similar photos' or some such nomenclature and it did fairly good. How is it possible that an organizer in Photoshop Elements can have a superior tagging and search system to that in lightroom. I realize Lightroom does a lot more, but you have come so close to the good things in Elements why not include them in version 1.2?
    I asked about this in the forum and got some good answers, but basically told if I want to search on photo based color data, I need to use a program other than Adobe. Hope Adobe fixes that, it would be a great service to lots of us dis- or ill- organized people.
    I love Lightroom, but sure hope for some real improvements. Talk to your buddies in Elements.
    Jack

    here is one way to find all matches first and then you can add a fine search/separation if there is more than one match
    depending on the size of the sorted array it might be faster if you search for the first match and than look if the next still matches ...

  • Sorting books by author

    How can you sort iBooks library by author last name?

    It's not the first time that iTunes and Apple devices have used tag fields inconsistently...
    To make sense of the Authors layout, for each book set:
    Name=Album
    Sort Name=Sort Album (by default leading articles are omitted)
    Artist=Album Artist=Composer
    Sort Artist=Sort Album Artist=Sort Composer (use Surname, Forename/Initials if you want to sort by surname)
    If you want titles by the same author listed in series order then set the sort name/album to something like <Series Name> <Index> where index is, if necessary, padded with a leading zero. This will also affect the order when listed in Title order but that works for me. Essentially you get individual tiles listed alphabetically and series grouped together under the name of the series with the books in issue order.
    Here are some screenshots to show what I mean...
    While experimenting I found that I sometimes needed to completely remove the content I was trying to change from the device before syncing it back again for all my adjustments to take hold.
    For general tips on organizing with iTunes see Grouping tracks into albums.

  • Photos. They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. Copied them (hours and hours) to external hard drive. They are now in alphabetical order (19,000  of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order-and have been taken with different cameras- help!!!!!!

    Photos.
    They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. There are 19,000+ of them, some rescued from a pc crash- which I used the nifty iPhoto to put back into date order.    
    I want to take them all off my laptop, now............as I need to use it for WORK!!
    Copied them (hours and hours) to another external hard drive.
    They are now in alphabetical order (all 19,000+ of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order. (-They have also been taken with different cameras over the years and some of the generic camera numbering remains.)
    I have tried to copy them (only a few as an experiment)  one event at a time, but that again "opens up" the Event "folder" and tips them out as individuals and therefore just lists image letters and numbers alphabetically.
    How can I copy
    the whole library still in  "Events" to an external hard drive?
    the folders/albums I have already made on to this hard drive?
    and how can I add to this back up monthly, again keeping events and folders separate and updated?
    Mac is so user friendly - there must be a way.........
    Thanks

    UPDATE : I have re-installed from disk, various apps that were no longer functioning such as iLife, iWork etc. So, I now can access my photos again.
    Also, I had to re-install all the software for my printer ( Stylus Pro 4880 ) and reset it so the printer is working again.
    Photoshop CS4 won't open. I think I will have to get in touch with Adobe as basically, I guess they have a built-in "blocker" which prevents me from opening the app as the license is for only 1 user and having re-installed the OS, there are now, in effect, 2 users ( Me and Me 1, I think ).
    So, having added on a new external HD, Time Machine has made a copy of most of the files, folders, apps etc onto the external HD. The internal HD is still nearly full ( 220 GBs out of 232 GBs ).
    I am guessing the way to go now in order to free up space on the internal HD is to delete/trash older photos from my iPhoto library and hope that if needed, I will be able to access them on the external HD.
    Am I correct ? Please advise before I do something I will regret.
    Thanks, Sean.

  • HT1473 Often times when I copy a CD into my library it breaks the CD into more than one Album, all with the same name but with only a few of the songs on each. This happens whenever the CD has music with more than one artists...like maybe duets.

    Often times when I copy a CD into my library it will break my CD into multiple albums in my library, each with only a few songs.
    Usually this is because there might be songs where the artists has other artists in the song.
    How can I compile all of the different albums (all with the same name by the way) back into one as was the original disc?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • How to pass database logon info to a Crystal Report in a subreport with different server name using VS C #

    Post Author: fabu1971
    CA Forum: .NET
    I could pass the database logon in Reports with subreports but the reports with subreports with different  server name I can not pass the logon information . Do you have any idea how I can do that to pass the database logon with different database or server name ?

    Post Author: quafto
    CA Forum: .NET
    You can use the Subreports collection of the ReportDocument object to access all the subreports in your main report. These are returned as ReportDocument objects. Once you have your subreport as a ReportDocument you can loop through your Tables collection and set the ConnectionProperties to your appropriate Server/Database. For example here is some pseudo code: ConnectionInfo boConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();boConnectionInfo.ServerName = "serverName";boConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "databaseName";boConnectionInfo.UserID = "username";boConnectionInfo.Password = "yourpassword"; foreach(ReportDocument boSubreport in mainReport.Subreports){    foreach(Table boTable in boSubreport.Database.Tables)    {        TableLogOnInfo boTableLogOnInfo = boTable.LogOnInfo;          boTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = boConnectionInfo;          boTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(boTableLogOnInfo);          boTable.Location = "newtablelocation";     }}

  • Have original iPad and just got iPad2 in same household with same email ID but with different interests.  How can we share purchased items, email and yet keep our own separate interests?

    We have iPad and ipad2 with one email address but two owners.  How can we share purchases, receive same email messages but have individual accounts at the same time?  Can we have same Apple User ID with different passwords?  Hepl!

    Aside from the fact that we have hijacked this thread - which we really shouldn't do - you would probably be better off posting questions or seeking advice in the iCloud portion of the Apple Support Communities. I'm sure that there are a lot of more experienced iCloud users on that site than I am.
    I'm not a big believer in iCloud at this point, so my experience with it - other than downloading past purchases - is really pretty limited. I would not want to steer you down the wrong path.
