Album View on IPOD

I would swear that I had the ability to see album views in my playlists but now I can only see the song lists. Can this be changed?

Ok, think I understand you now.
To change the view, you click on the "view" buttons in the top right corner of iTunes.
Is that what you mean?

  • How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album togeth

    How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod?  If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

    I used to have this problem.
    First, you need to go back on iTunes
    you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
    Click the album so all the songs drop down
    Right click the songs that have this problem
    Click ' Get info '
    Click the tab that says " info '
    The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
    as such,
    ARTIST
    JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
    ALBUM ARTIST
    JAY-Z
    These should be separate for each artist
    If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

  • IPod touch music dissapears from album view and other things

    I'm honestly suprised to the fact that my old iPod video works better on this factor than the iPod touch I upgraded to.
    My problem lies in the fact of syncing makes my iPod decide certain things stay on Album view and dissapear from it. To give an example:
    Before sync - Album of Disneyland Music is still together on album view and nothing has vanished.
    Add in another song to the compilation of music on the album for easy listening.
    Sync iPod
    Album of Disneyland music has vanished completely and only the new song added in is viewable in the album listing.
    Don't think that it's gone competely. I've searched and the music is actually in the iPod, just not in the albums listings. It's everywhere else listings on the iPod.
    This has irked me ever since I bought the thing since another issue that just drives me up the wall. With my iPod video if I listed the music under an album it'd be sorted into the album with no problem. With the iPod touch however if ONE thing is off it gets sorted into its own lisiting on the Album view even though it shares the same Album title with another song. Example:
    Old music that doesn't get recognized has to have information added in
    Albums are correct
    Artists are correct
    Sync iPod
    Album listing has multiple listings from the same album with the artists as its sorting spot. (or if it even showed up at all...)
    I've tried multiple times to fix this and nothing works. (and i've checked and unchecked sort by album artist, no dice.) I attempted to contact an iTunes help as it was partly on the program's fault, the helper didn't understand what I was talking about. Can anyone help me here?
    and no I can't resort to my iPod video as I've killed the selection middle button thanks to a game. That and it also had an issue with connecting and I kept having to refresh it.

    I looked in Compilations and the album that's vanished from Album view isn't in there. I checked via Artist view and the songs are there so the music is in the iPod but it's being a little wise sucker and not showing me the album in the Album view.
    I fear for the videos I have to put on my iPod for class reference today...

  • Artwork messed up in Album view iPod app

    Hi all,
    Ever since about a week, the artwork for my music in Album view is completely messed up.
    The pictures show up in all different sizes covering up other albums, which I cannot open anymore.
    See the screenshot on the following link: http://t.co/RBT4sol / http://www.flickr.com/photos/atmasphere/5353621694/
    Tried rebooting / restarting the iPod app / giving iPad a 'hard reset (home + power button)' but the issue is still persisting and gets really annoying.
    Any advice on this?

    This one's easy. Guns and Roses never had a great hit!

  • Art shows in itunes cover flow & album view but not on ipod

    I spent several hours downloading cover art to itunes for albums where the art couldn't be automatically retrieved by itunes. I'd browse through album view, and for every album that had no art, I'd (a) select the album by clicking on the default music-note image and thus activate the drag-and-drop target in the lower left, and (b) drag some art from a website. When I was done with this, all the albums for which I downloaded art would properly show art in the itunes cover flow and in album view mode.
    For the iPod (a 160GB Classic), I deselected "display album art on your ipod", hit "apply" to have it delete the art, then reselected and applied again, and itunes went through the process of formating and downloading the art to the ipod.
    Now, however, the iPod still only shows the artwork that had been automatically retrieved; all the art I had added manually won't show. Back in itunes, I notice that it looks like my process for downloading the art only resulted in the art being applied to one song per album, as far as I can tell randomly selected. If, in album view, I select each song individually, the art will show in the lower left corner (and in "get info") only for one of the songs; on one album it might be track 1 while on another it might be track 7. However this is enough for itunes to show the art for the whole album, and also to show the art in cover flow.
    Is there any automatic way to synchronize the art over a whole album, or at least to get it to download to the ipod so that it shows in cover flow and album view on the device as well as on the computer? I had to download art for about 190 albums; it would be a real drag to have to do that again.

    Ok, here is the method I used. Another member gave this to me. It has worked for my iTunes library, and hopefully my ipod on the next sync.
    I opened iTunes and Safari, with Safari on Amazon.com (to get the art). I would play any song from an album and command-click the each song in the album. Once each song is highlighted, I hit command-I to change info. I then dragged the art from Safari to the small box on the right of the smaller info change screen. This resulted in every song highlighted displaying the same artwork.
    I hope this helps.

  • Itunes 7.0: album view when browsing iPod?

    hi- i can only use iTunes 7.0's cool new album view off of my Library, but not my iPod. is this a bug or a feature? i'd like to use it here at work, rather thanonly at home...

    I had the same problem with my 5g iPod and iTunes 7. Finally tracked down how to resolve it (thanks to iPod Mini Turkey! http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3133121&#3133121)
    1. Select the iPod in iTunes so you get the summary screen.
    2. Then check the 'Manually manage music and videos' option.
    This should enable browsing, ability to get album info etc. You should also see the iPod on the desktop which disappears once it has been automatically updated!
    Hope this helps and thanks for the guidance iPod Mini Turkey!

  • How do I view my photo albums from my iPod Touch t with iPhoto on my MacBook Pro?

    I am creating a book for my family, and I would like to get an album from my iPod and view it on iPhoto, which is on my MacBook Pro. Any answer is appreciated. Thanks to all that answer.

    You can't - you can move the photos to iPhoto but not as an album - iPhoto for Mac and for IOS do not share organizational structures

  • Album view and Cover Flow problem

    Well, im going to get one of the new ipods soon and they have that Cover Flow feature which is pretty cool. Anyway i have a problem, when i try and sort them by album, i go to Album View and even if the album names are the same, they arnt in the same box, because they have various artists. Ill show some pics now.
    http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/9604/probz1nm0.jpg
    See how they arnt in the same box because of their artists? Then when i go to Cover Flow tab, to see how it will look on my ipod it comes up like this
    http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/6366/probz2wu4.jpg
    All the ones without artcovers so far, are all the songs from the album "MOS" like you saw in the previous picture. So does anyone know how to fix that problem? Because i dont want like 20 MOS albums showing up on the Ipod with only 1 song in each of them when i can have them all in one.
    Thanks

    You need to select the "Compilation" button on each to overide the fact that there is a different artist for each song. think about it, the chances of two different artists having the same name for an album is pretty big. How is any music jukebox supposed ot know that they're the same....
    select all the songs, open apple/control "I" and click on compilations on bottom right.

  • All the artwork in Album View in iTunes is fuzzy/blurry unless i repeatedly delete the cache.

    I recently bought a new laptop and transferred all my itunes tracks onto the new one from an external. Everything is fine, but in album list all the thumbnails are fuzzy and blurry. They album covers show up sharp in every other view such as coverflow, preview pane and grid view as well as on the ipod, but are fuzzy in album view. Some one suggested deleting the artwork cache to allow iTunes to rebuild it.I deleted it and reopened iTunes and found that this worked perfectly and all my artwork became sharp again. But if I close iTunes and reopen it, all the artwork wgoes back to being fuzzy and  stays that way until I deleted the cache again. It only fixes it as long as I dont close out iTunes.  How can I make them sharp again permanently like on my old laptop? (All my artwork is manually added and does not come from iTunes)

    Responding to your request here.
    I can't say it's a problem I've noticed personally, though now you've made me look it does seem that the large thumbnail is slightly fuzzier than the same image in the artwork panel. I have the artwork panel as small as it goes (small screen) and it is still slightly larger than the image in the browser so that might be all there is to it.
    Here's an example from my screen.
    Perhaps iTunes is storing a thumbnail at say "medium" size which it then blows up to create the large image. Are you seeing a similar effect or is your "fuzzy" art much fuzzier? A screenshot would be helpful.

  • How do I transfer the albums on my IPOD to iTunes on my PC?

    I have had to reset my PC following a Malware attack.  As a result all programmes have had to be re-installed including iTunes.
    I have 87 albums on my iPOD but can only get 6 of them back onto iTunes on the PC.
    These are 6 CDs which were bought from iTunes store.
    The remainder were copied from CD onto the PC before being transferred to iPOD.
    Prior to the problem I could see them all on the PC and want to do this again.
    Not least to provide a back-up but also because they are easier to view and manipulate on the PC.
    A normal synch won't transfer from iPOD to PC sand I can't see any other way of doing it.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks in anticipation.

  • No Album Artwork in "Album View"

    I recently upgraded to the iPhone OS 3.1 for the iPod Touch...
    and now when I'm in "Album View", seemingly random album artwork appears white, as though there is literally no image. (there is no default music symbol, its just blank)
    (this does not occur when playing the albums, or in cover flow, the artwork is there)
    I have done everything I can think of, short of wiping the device and starting all over again.
    Please Help ? ?

    Hi,
    This is just a suggestion, and since I don't have the 3.1 OS update, it may not help.
    If you have albums on your iPod that had no artwork appied to them when you added the files (i.e. you added the artwork to the iTunes files after you copied the files to the iPod) - then I'd suggest deleting the problem files from the iPod and re-adding them.
    My experience that itunes won't normally update artwork, and other information of files on the iPod during a sync. - You have to re-add the files to get the desired effect.
    I hope that information is useful.
    Kind regards,
    Peter.

  • Songs appear in "Album" view but not "Playlist" view--sync problem

    I sync/drag songs from iTunes to my iPod manually. One album in particular shows up on my iPod when I view the list of songs by "Album," but when I view the list of songs by my Beatles "Playlist", songs from all albums except one show up.
    For instance... in "Album"view (on my iPod), I see "Abbey Road" with all its tracks. I also see "Let It Be" with all its tracks. BUT, when I switch over to the Beatles "Playlist,", I see all the tracks from "Abbey Road" but NO tracks from "Let It Be."
    So the only way for me to listen to the tracks from "Let It Be" is to play the Album. If I play the Beatles playlist, none of the "Let It Be" songs will play.
    Can someone help?
    By the way, my iTunes version is 7.6, and my iPods version is 1.2.3---- so both apps are up to date.

    Ramone4130,
    The first and easiest troubleshooting step involves replacing/refreshing the com.apple.iCal.plist file.
    Quit iCal and find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.
