Albums and songs not organised.

I have noticed with iTunes for a good while now that my songs and albums are not organised in itunes; by that I mean some songs that belong to albums are listed separately and then missing under the album heading leading to incomplete albums. Its as if iTunes has taken my albums, given them a shake and scattered various songs across my library randomly.
Has anyone else experienced this, or have a reason / solution for it?

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist for each album will fix things.

  • I reinstalled Itunes on my computer and it did not put all of my albums and songs on my library

    I reinstalled I Tunes and it only put 3 albums of my many albums and songs in my library, can someone help please?

    There are only the same 3 albums in the previous I tunes folder that are in the i tunes library, nothing else to copy and paste, everything else does not show up,
    Your media should normally be in <User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Media\<Etc.> not <User's Music>\iTunes\Previous iTunes Libraries.
    Was your library working properly on this computer before you reinstalled iTunes, or is there something you've left out of the picture?

  • HT4915 When i did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs.  I have gone into my library and deleted the duplicates, but they still show up on my iphone as duplicates.  What can i do to get rid of them?

    When I did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs in my library.  I have gone back into my library from my computer, and deleted the duplicates.  When I did so, itunes did not ask me if I wanted to delete them from the cloud.  They are still showing up on my iphone as duplicates in the cloud.  What can I do to get them from showing up in my iphone?

    They are not on the iphone in the first place.  It is just a setting that allows you to see the songs that are available in icloud, but not on your iphone.  If you turn the setting to off, then you no longer see the songs that are in icloud, but NOT on your iphone.

    The Get Info. fields show up gray if the files is locked and iTunes knows it can't edit the file. Make sure the files are not marked as read only and, if necessary grant both your account and system full access to all files and subfolders of your media folder.
    You can set Part of a Compilation for multiple tracks from the Options tab of Get Info.

  • Podcasts appear in artists, albums and song menus

    Hello,
    I am using iTunes 7.1.0.59 on WinXP Pro. I purchased a 30GB video iPod (2nd generation of this model) a few days ago. The problem is that all the podcasts I have synced to my iPod appear in music menus such as artists, albums and songs. For example the songs list includes podcasts as well as all the songs. This is very annoying to have different podcasts appears in each of these menus. Surely this is not be design.
    I have done Google searches and no one else seems to have this problem. I think it might be an iTunes 7 issue as I never recall seeing this problem with iTunes 6 on my partner's 1st generation 30GB video iPod.
    I have not been able to find anything in the menu or online Apple .PDFs which explain this behaviour.
    Can anyone help me to fix this problem?
    Thanks to all.

    Found a fix for this. Another forum user found it.
    Click on your iPod on the left column in iTunes. Click the podcast tab (at the top of the main window) and change the sync option to "all podcasts". Re-sync your iPod and your podcasts should show up in the right place.
    Hope this helps. So unintuitive it makes me mad, but hey.

  • There are certain albums and songs I don't want my children having access to in iTunes Match through their iPod and iPad.  Is there a way to control what songs are visible on different devices?

  • HT5457 Help! I used to upload photos via ios and it was always published up to my 5th photos, but on the 6th, it just go to ios photos album and was not published on my fb's timeline...

    Help! I used to upload photos via ios and it was always published up to my 5th photos, but on the 6th, it just go to ios photos album and was not published on my fb's timeline...

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

  • I need to know how many downloads individual albums and songs had off of iTunes for a project, how do I find these numbers?

    I need to know how many downloads individual albums and songs had off of iTunes for a project, how do I find these numbers?

    Ed...maybe a little less time gaming and a bit more time in English class? They got this thing called punctuation and sentences now. Last things first; there is no amount of money that can change your GPU so you can scratch that expense off the list. So you need a battery and a fan? Where do you live? USA? We can help you find a battery but where did you plan to have the new fan put in? 

  • Is the Purchased Album and Song Re-downloadable Without Further Charges?

    Hi,
    Is the purchased album and song re-downloadable without further charges? I got an album via gift. Whenever I see the album in the iTunes Store, it still appears as 'Buy' instead of 'Purchased'. And if I delete the album, I will have to pay again to download it from the iTunes Store.
    Is this supposed to be like that? Shouldn't the album become permanently free-of-charge since I had already paid for it?
    Thank you.

  • Album is in library but not listed in Albums and Songs - iTunes 11

    I have added new album to iTunes 11. It has been copied to my Media folder and its playing all right. But I cant see it in my Albums, Artists and Songs sections. Its not there. I would like to see the artwork in my Albums.
    When I try to search for it it finds it with no problem. What to do? Any ideas?
    I believe that adding it again can help, but how do I remove it from my library when it is not present anywhere only in search results?

    Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base.
    The only thing I'd add to that is to make sure all the songs you want transferred to your iPod have checkmarks next to their names in the iTunes Library.

  • Certain Albums Have Songs Not In The Right Order...

    I believe this is a bug from iTunes. Lately my songs from albums are having songs dis-located as having certain tracks in the beginning of the album instead of where they belong. The wierd thing is that it appears to be fine on iTunes but it's totally different on the iPod. A friend of mine is having the same issue. Any ideas? Is a fix coming?
    Thanks.

    disorder, lots of people are having this problem but no one in this forum that I've seen seems to have an answer. It's probably flat-out Apple's fault on this one. It appears that workarounds are the best it's going to be for now unless this gets addressed in a later issue of iTunes/iPod updates.
    Meantime, here's a suggestion from a user, spitfire411 in another post:
    "hi, I had the same problem but found an easy solution.
    The problem is that with the new itunes, not only is there an "Artist" in the tag, there is also "Album Artist." If some songs in an album have values for "Album Artist" and some don't, your tracklist will be messed up on your ipod.
    Simply add the "Album Artist" column to your iTunes browser by right clicking on the sorting columns (title, artist, time, etc.) and check "ALbum Artist." I found it useful to drag this column in between "Album" and "Artist."
    If some songs in an album have include values for "Album Artist," either delete them or add to all, this should re-sort your tracklistings."

  • Albums and Songs seems disappear in iTunes Music folder  (8.0.1)

    Before start a back up of my iTunes 8.0.1 I had curiosity to check the iTunes Library > iTunes Music
    There I notice some Artist folder became empty: no album(s) and no song(s) anymore !?
    I still can play them from the main iTunes window. But till when ?
    Am afraid it could be an alert to some trouble.
    Any suggestion ?

    Maybe I was not clear enough in my explanation with some trouble in my iTunes (8.0.2 now).
    Sometime iTunes loose the link to a song file. A question mark appear next the song, iTunes ask to recreate the missing link.
    Time to time, I take a look into Music / iTunes folder
    Time to time, I notice, some Artist Folder became empty. Maybe the first step to a missing link or something worst ?...
    But iTunes (the App) still showing and play the song (?!)
    I (wrongly?) consider it as a trouble which make me loose for good part of my Library.
    Dragging the empty Artist Folder from the iTunes Folder to the Desktop, make Album Folders and Song Files reappear in the previous empty Artist Folder !...
    I do not consider that very normal or did I miss something ?

  • Duplicate music albums and song listing after updating to iOS 5

    Anyone else seeing duplicate music albums in carousel mode?  After updating to iOS 5 i notice a few albums have duplicate albums or song listing.
    I have 1 album thats duplicated 8 times in carousel mode and twice in album listing, none are excalty the same. Example 8 albums, each either holds all the songs or part of the album. Duplicate albums would 3-4 of the same songs, although there is only one file when viewing thru itunes.
    Any answers would help, thanks

    Thanks but i just tired that ad it didnt work either. All my albums are in order with tracks, artist, disc and etc. Never had a problem with this when i was on iOS 4.
    Additional Note: Videos no longer continue where i left off even though the option to do so has been selected.
    Anyone experiencing lag on their Touch Gen4? Like shutter sound when you put the screen to sleep takes a second after the button is pressed which use to be instant.
    Apple...got any take on these matters?

  • Can't add music to iPhone 5s and songs not deleting off phone

    Tried restarting phone several times and this has not resolved the issue.
    I have deleted a bunch of music off of my phone... when I plug into iTunes, the songs do not show in iTunes but remain on my phone... also when I try to add new music - it won't add the songs(not even in a grayed out state) the file icon just sort kicks back as if iTunes is laughing at me, saying "NOPE! Not today, son!"
    'had this issue a few weeks ago and it seemed to resolve itself magically... now it's happening again. Very frustrating.

  • I bought an album and Its not showing up in my library

    I recently bought an album and when I upgraded my phone, the album doesn't show up in my library. I need to get it back, I'm not going to buy the same album when I already spent money on it once.

    Hello wesiji,
    The following article provides a couple of different methods for downloading pre-orders.
    iTunes Store: About Pre-orders
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5714
    If neither of these gets your pre-order downloaded, you might consider cancelling the pre-order and purchasing the album normally.
    Cheers,
