Album track not grouped with album

I imported 4 (all) tracks from a CD. 3 of the tracks are now grouped with the album in the Music/Album view. One track is off by itself. I made sure the album name was exactly the same but copying and pasting it to the 4th track. Anyone know how to get it in with the rest of the album?

Hi, Jeff.
Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.
My hunch is that the Album Artist field may be the cause of your problem.

  • I lost all of my Itunes music because of an infection that required them to wipe my computer.  I am trying to get the music back from multiple sources.  What I have recovered is a mess. Albums are mixed or songs not grouped as album. Help?

    My computer got infected with some terrible virus.  I contacted the manufacturer and they said the only thing to do was wipe the whole thing. I could not back it up bec this mess?ause it would include the infection. I have been trying to recover the lost music from several different places.  A friend tried to help me by putting all of his music on my computer from his external hard drive. That was very nice of him but now it is a terrible mess. The recovered songs are not grouped into albums correctly.  Some albums are mixed - every other song is from the other album.  Some songs are listed separately and not grouped as an album.  I tried to ask iTunes to find album art work and it has been running that for over 48 hours. Is that possible?  When I try to stop it I get a message that says I will lose all the data.  I admit that I am not very tech. savvy and I really don't know what I am doing.  It took me more than 20 years to make that collection and I am heart broken. Do you have any ideas about how I start to fix

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

  • Since I upgraded to IOS7 when I synch my photos on my iphone and ipad they all come across in one album and not the separate albums I have them in on my laptop. Has this happened to anybody else??

  • Songs with the same album art not grouped together in iTunes for Windows

    Brand new iTunes user here - do not yet have an iPod! (Needed some music only on iTunes)
    When I first started up iTunes, it imported all of my music I already had on my computer. A few of them are soundtracks with different artists.
    When they are shown in the iTunes library, the soundtracks have been broken up by Artist instead of staying as a whole album. How do I get the songs back together as one album? I found the folder on my computer where they are stored and combined them there, but they are still separate in the iTunes library.
    Thanks from a total newbie!

    Mark the tracks on the album as "Part of a compilation" and fill in the Album Artist field as "Various Artists". Click on the first track of your album to highlight it, hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight everything in between. Right click on the selection and choose Get Info. You'll get a message asking if you want to edit multiple items, say yes. If you are using iTunes 8 in the box that opens go to the Options tab and change "part of a compilation" to Yes and choose OK.
    Also in your library click on the title bar of album column to bring all the tracks in the same album together. If you keep clicking in the title you can choose it to sort by Album, Album by Artist or Album by Year. Clicking on the little triangle on the right side of the column header changes the sort direction. Pointing up and the column is sorted in Ascending order (A to Z). Pointing down and the column is sorted in Descending order (Z to A).

  • Album Display Not grouping tracks correctly

    Hello,
    I'm having a strange behavior in iTunes while in 'List View'.
    When in list view, when I select an album, I have the first track on it's own with the artwork displayed with track information then there's a separator followed by the artwork again followed by the other tracks.
    It looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/kjugt9
    When I go in '~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/<artist>/<album>', all the tracks are in there, all in the same artist/album folder.
    I tried to edit all tracks (Get Info) at the same time to set the different values (Artist, year, album, genre, year, etc) but grouping remains the same.
    This issue does not cause any specific problem except that for few albums the track 'grouping' is not correct. This is quite random, I see that on few albums but I still don't know what's happening.
    Any idea on what I should check next ?
    Thanks

    Problem solved.
    At first try I forced update (enabled each checkbox) of each field into the Info & Sorting tab but it remained the same.
    Looking at individual tracks I saw that some of them had Sorting info but it could not be updated: deleting the value and clicking OK was not updating the Sort field.
    I then selected all the tracks and put a dummy value in every field in the Sorting tab. Tracks were grouped again now. Finally, I edited again all the tracks to deleted the values I previously enterered. Tracks are still grouped again.
    I applied that procedure against the remaining albums that had that problem and it worked for each of them.
    Thank you.

  • Next album track not playing automatically

    When I listen to my music on I Tunes the next album track does not come on automatically. Can anyone advise me what I need to do please - presumably soemthing to do with the settings ?

    Are the tracks unchecked perhaps? Unchecked tracks are skipped during normal playback but can be played individually.
    Alternatively, if you're in shuffle mode and all tracks have "Skip when shuffling" selected then once the first track completes nothing else should play.

  • ITunes album metadata not syncing with iPhone

    iTunes 11.1.2
    iPhone 5s running iOS 7.0.3
    I purchased an album from the iTunes store, which is actually 3 albums in 1.
    Once downloaded, I set about changing the metadata so that the albums appear as 3 seperate albums under the one artist. All good - until I sync with my iPhone, when (on the iPhone) the metadata reverts to the original iTunes Store metadata and back to 1 album with all the tracks from the 3 albums out of chronological order ie. track 1, 1, 1, track 2, 2, 2 etc...! Grrrr
    Have deleted ALL unecessary metadata fields on all tracks, just leaving the genre, the artist name, each album name and turned off any 'compilation' options. No joy and still shows as 1 album on my iPhone.
    Any solutions???
    Thanks in advance...

  • 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...

    Thanks

    I have had the same issues. It all started with iTunes 7.0. I have lost all track numbers as well, so now all my songs are in ABC order. It really *****!!
    The only way I have been able to fix the artwork issue is to cut the artwork off of the file the re-paste it back on. (I have over 3,000 tracks, very time consuming) This has worked for most of the files but I am still coming across a few tracks that have the incorrect artwork on them.

  • How to show artists in a compilation album but not split the album?

    Sorry, I wasn't sure which section to submit this question to.
    I have recently downloaded my iTunes music to my iPhone 4s. However, 'compilation' albums ( in my case albums by artists who have a lot of guests on their songs) did not show up under artists. So I unticked the compilation box in the album info. But now when I go to albums, each song with a different guest is in its own album.
    My iPod nano shows the different artisits for compilation albums and the album as a whole. How can I make my iPhone do the same?
    Thank you for any ideas!

    Thank you so much! Got it sorted!
    Another quick qu - what do I do if I have a compilation with each song having a different artist? Can I show the individual artist whilst keeping them all in the same album?
    Only in the Album view. Artist view will display them separately unless you have Group by Album Artist turned On. I tend to set the Album Artist (not the individual track artist) as "Various" or XYZ Soundtrack or something similar making grouping them a bit easier.

  • Photos showing up in Wallpaper Photo Album, but not Main Photo Album

    I just switched to iPhone - love it. Just transferred all of my photos from my old device into my iPhone via iTunes. They show they are in the iPhone when I check the iTunes capacity at the bottom, and they all show up as options for my wallpaper in the wallpaper settings. However, when I just go to the Photos app on my main screen they aren't in the Photo Album there (not the camera roll either but I expected that).
    Thoughts on this? Did I do something wrong in the transfer? None of the files are corrupt - I was able to open them all in the wallpaper area but they just aren't available in the normal photo album.
    Thanks

    How did you correct this issue? i am having the same issue!

  • Album artwork not showing in album tab

    I don't know why but the album artowrk for one of my albums is not showing on my iPhone. Each individual song in the album has the artowrk, but it doesn't show up in the albums tab on the bottom of the music app. So in the albums tab where you can scroll through each album, the artowrk is missing. The album artowrk should be right next to the name of the album, but it just has that defualt musical note for stuff that doesn't have artowrk. I didn't download this album off of iTunes but I made sure the info for each song matched the info on iTunes. I get a little OCD when it comes to my music library, and I even deleted all the artwork for each song on the album, and redownloaded the artwork by right-clicking each song and clicking "Get Album Artowrk". Like I said, all the info matches the info on the iTunes store. Even when you view the album in cover flow it displays the album artowrk just fine, and when you play each individual song in the album you can see the artwork. Me being OCD about my music and all, it is just driving me crazy having that one album not have artwork while the rest of my albums do. I have never had this problem before and I just can't stand it.

    Just a guess: make sure you have the album's name exactly the same, including capital letters in every song.
    Also: you can select all songs from that album, right click, get info and change the album name for all songs at once, that should fix it.

  • HT1849 How do I transfer a single song that I purchased into my complete my album so I can have the complete album and not an incomplete album missing the single.

    How do I transfer a single that I bought previously before purchasing the complete my album so that I have the complete album and not missing the single?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Not sure what you mean by transfer. I suspect you are trying to get it listed in iTunes as part of the album, in which case you can change the details in 'Get Info'.

  • Downloaded album tracks not being together...

    i have downloaded an album, and for some reason instead of all the fourteen tracks appearing together in sequence, as normal, they have appeared as if in two separate albums, how can i rectify this?

    And if that doesn't work for you (I just got a page not found error) then try my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
