Album view spread out

I have searched iTunes forum to solve my problem, and tried what I have found, but nothing seems to work.
I import a CD with various artists, example The Ultimate Chick Flicks Love Songs, and instead of song showing as a group in either Album View, or List View, they are displayed as separate albums. I have used Tag&Rename to make sure all have the same album name spelled correctly, even to make sure spacing was the same.
I have tried clicking all files in iTunes, right click to Get Info, putting check in Compilation box, but nothing brings the songs together in album view or list view.
What is wrong? How do I fix this? Have even tried importing same album on my XP machine and it does the same crazy thing, separated listing of songs for same CD.
I sure could use some help.
Thank you

Sorry to but in, but I was looking at the suggestion you left for the other guy and on my one it shows the track number, For example on one CD I imported it put track 3 in its own seperate album, when I click "get info" it even says track 3 of 11, so why has it been put in its own seperate album? I tried changing the name of the track and info so it matched the others but it still remains on its own. The best wat would be if you could drag and drop tracks inyo albums but is dosent seem you can do that.

How to keep Single Songs out of Album View? iTunes11

What is the proper way to label singles so that Album View does not contain an 'Unknown Album' for each artist with at least one song?
You would think leaving the 'album artist' and the 'album' field blank it would not put that song in album view, but that is not the case in iTunes 11. This is how it works on my phone (4S) (iOS 6.0.1) .
A work-around is to label all singles with the correct artist and title, but label all singles with the same album artist (i.e. 'various artists') and with the same album (i.e. 'singles'), but if you did that iTunes will automatically move all the files from the correct artist folder into one giant 'various artists' folder. (if the 'keep itunes media folder organized box is checked)
What is the best practice to resolve this nearly useless album view function?

A cleaner solution is to create a playlist with your running albums, then update the other smart playlists with "Playlist" not in "Running Albums".
That way, you don't need to update each and every playlist when you add a new running album, you just need to put it in the Running Albums playlist.

CHECK IT OUT - how to make album view name the song in the viewer

Album view shows the album for the highlighted song. If you put the title of the song in "album artist", the title appears in album view under the album name and cover photo. No...no...don't thank me.....

oops...yes, you are right. But the thing is, if album view isn't going to just show ONE album cover in the window for all the songs on the album, then each pic of the cover might as well have the actual title of the song being referenced on it.
The way to keep one photo as the designated album cover, for all songs, is to make that foto the FIRST in the series for each individual song's collection of artwork. When a song is playing, click "get info" from "file". Choose "album artwork" and drag-and-drop each piece of artwork into the window, then arrange so that the designated album cover is first in the group.
What I wanted from Album View was ONE foto of each album, and then by clicking on the foto, the album contents would appear in the playlist window. Too much to ask, I guess

ITunes album view not working and no album art?

Hi all -
Bought a 64GB iPhone 5 and uploaded my music via my desktop - all seems to have run fine, except that album artwork isn't showing for many of them, even when I select the option "View artwork".
I've read on another thread that ID3 tags of 2.3 or lower are not supported, but find it hard to accept there's no compatibility here - so am presuming user error rather than Apple trying to force users to manually update all their albums (I have 57GB of music - don't want to update album art on everything!)
Also, I've just downloaded and installed iTunes on my laptop, and connected the iPhone to laptop. However, the album view options aren't working. All songs are simply listed by album name, but none of the column listing features work either (ie, sort by name, genre, etc).
I presumed iTunes had crashed, but restarting the laptop and the same happens. Am on latest software for iTunes and iOS 6.
One more curiosity - how do I download my music from the iPhone to the desktop? I had presumed it would do this automatically (ie, into the iTunes media folder) but so far nothing.
Or is it simply the case that iTunes is preparing to download all music into the desktop, hence why it's not working properly? Simply because there's no notice of anything happening.
Apologies for any newbie questions - found myself using the iPad quite a lot for apps, but never for music as it was only the 16GB version, so have been sold into joining the Apple walled garden. Would be nice to get these issues sorted out, though.

Hi David
Yes, I found the importer now. I also fixed my problem, but with 'brute force':
For each of the folders not being indexed, including the ~/Library/Mail folder, I turned on Privacy in the Spotlight System Prefs and then turned it off again. This seems to have fixed things. I did this for some old document folders too and that also seems to have worked.
So far so good. thanks again. For now I'm marking this as solved.

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.

In new iOS 8 photos app, I am missing photos in photo view that are in album view

All my photos in the iPhoto app on my iMac appear correctly in the album view in the new Photos app on my iPhone 6. However, not all the photos appear in the photos view. To try and get the counts to match, in iTunes, I synced my iPhone after unchecking the syncing of photos. I checked the Photos app on my iPhone and there were no photos. Then I checked to sync all photos in iTunes and synced my iPhone again. Every photo on my iMac was in the album view, but there were still missing photos in the photo view.
Anyone have this problem and a solution?

Thanks for your response. Turns out the iPhotos database was corrupted. I rebuilt it and now the counts match.
I do have summarize photos turned off as you suggested.
But now I have a new problem. I have smart albums in iPhoto on my iMac that correspond to decades. These albums and the photos they contain appear perfectly in the album view on my iPhone 6. However, a few photos in the photos view appear with the wrong date. So I'm working on resolving this.

Is it possible to show play counts in Artists or Album view in iTunes 11?

There are some beautiful new changes to iTunes 11, but also some things I really like have been taken away. One of them is being able to see my playcouts as I browse. Not just in the playlist or songs list view.
Does anyone know if there is any way to show play counts in Artists or Album view in iTunes 11?

typo... sorry
I have 3 product codes that I want to report on - Mold, Repair, and Production. For Mold and Repair, I want to print out only the top 1 job for each order. For Production, I want to print all jobs. I have GH1 to group by ProdCode. GH2 groups by Orders. Detail A section has a formula to suppress if ProdCode = Production. Detail B suppresses if ProdCode is not Production. I can get the suppresion to work but I don't know how to get the Top 1 to show when Detail A is shown.
Obviously I'm new at Crystal Reports - about 3 weeks.
Thanks for your help...

Can't play video podcasts in the album view box in iTunes 8

I can't figure out how play video podcasts in the album view box (bottom left hand side) in the new iTunes 8. I could do it before w/7 but I don't remember what option I had checked off.
Thanks in advance

Let me know what you find out. I bought the new 80Gb ipod and I am having the same problem on long podcasts. It just reboots.

Seeing year information in album view itunes

wouldn't it be great if i could see the year the album was published in the album view. could be in the background behind the cover art, spreading from album 1...n for that year.

Dutch Apple Fan,
In iTunes 11, "Albums" view is designed for people who like eye candy and pretty pictures. If you actually want to see information, use "Songs" view.
This is a reduction in functionality from iTunes 10, where you could use List view together with Cover Flow, and get both the pictures and the information.

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.

TV Shows in Album VIew Not Sorted By Episode

I just downloaded iTunes 7.1 and my TV episodes are no longer sorted by episode when I'm in album view. They are correctly sorted by season, however. Does iTunes now use the EpisodeID instead of the Episode # to sort, because I put in the names of the episodes for the EpisodeID?

Duplicate albums in album view

Hi,
Im sure this question has been asked before, but I cant find out so here goes.
I have upgraded to iTunes 11, and so far seems much better than iTunes 10!. Anyway, the only issue that I have found is that for some albums, there are duplicate entries in Album view. When you click on them, 1 of the entries has 1 song, but the other has the rest of the songs.
In this example, as you can see, there are two entries in for this album. The one shown has track one, yet the other one has all the remaining tracks. When this album is copied to my iPhone, I only get one entry for this album, and all tracks are present! This has happened for both me and my partner, and it is really annoying.
I have checked the "Get Info" for both albums, and I cant see any difference between the tracks! Is this a bug in iTunes or is this just iTunes being annoying?
Thanks
Graeme

This worked for 2 of my albums that are showing double. I have 4 more that it won't work for and I don't know what to do. I tried renaming it and then naming it back to normal but it goes back to the same thing. Sometimes when I rename it to X some of them are grouped closer so instead of 5 there are 2 and then when I group them back with their regular name they go back to 5. and all the information other than that is completely identical and none of them are marked as compilations. Please help!

Album split into 3 albums in album view

Hi
I have been transferring some of my old music from a Creative MP3 player to my Ipod. When I go into album view, a couple of albums have been split up, into 3 albums. The first having the first few tracks, the next album having a couple more, then the final album having the last few. Is there any way I can tell Itunes they are the same album, and link them all up accordingly?
Thanks

Hiya, I had exactly the same problem, You need to right click on the songs that have been split up and go to "get info" and make sure the album name are EXACTLY the same. Make sure there are no spaces after the album name and that all capital letters are the same etc. This sorted it out for me, hope it does for you!

Key photo image in Album View too small

I imported a small Aperture Library into Photos to test things out. One thing I notice is that in Album View, the key photo for a folder is very small.
Here is an example:
I have tried making another photo the Key Photo, and switching back. They are always small. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I don't consider this a feature request. In the default Photos library, the key photo in Album view fills the whole square. But for a library that was created from an Aperture library, the key photo does not fill the whole square.
Is this a bug, or is there something I can do to make the key photo larger?

I just moved my Itunes content to a computer with Win 7. I can only get "songs" in list view. How do I correct this so I can see Artist and Genre also in list view. The box to show all list in list view is checked but it only shows album view

I just moved all my itunes content to a windows 7 computer. I can only get "songs" in list view. Genre and Artist show as Album views. The box in preferences is checked so that all lists should show as list. How can I get a list view for Artists and Genre also?

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox
