Albums not grouping, Could please someone help me?
Hi all
First post here
Just before Xmas my external hard drived packed up and we lost all our itunes content.
After installing Itunes back on my laptop i downloaded all the music,films,apps ect we had purchased on the store.
The music albums now though are not all one album and i have googled everything i can think of to try and sort this but i cannot do it.
Seems to be manly compilation albums that the problem occurs with.
There is lots of all the same album covers just showing one song in it by all the different artists.
How do i group it all?
Ive tried all the "get Info and tick the compilations tab" ect ect
Is there something im doing wrong?
Anyone can take me through it step by step?
Many thanks
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.

We can not get this thing working. Done everything through the computer, got confirmation of everything and a sheet for payment on iTUNES for games. When we go under the icon for games when were put Apple ID and the password it come's up,"YOU ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. ONLINE FUNCTIONALITY IS NOT AVAILABLE." We have been trying for over a week to get this thing going. Can someone please please help us.
Forgive what may be a dumb question on my part, but have you confirmed that the iPod is indeed able to successully connect to the Internet by going to a web page in Safari or some such procedure?

PLEASE HELP ME.
No need for the caps.
If iTunes prompts you to restore your phone, then that is your only choice. Just follow the instructions iTunes gives you.
If its not turning on, hold down the power and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears. Then you will be asked to restore your phone in iTunes. -
Im trying to get some purchased songs to sync onto my ipad, but when i try it says they could not be synced as i need to authorise my computer which has been done already but its still not syncing them can someone help please?
Hello there, Gemss.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for the issue you're describing:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
Although all of the scenarios may be applicable, many folks find that the following section helps resolve their issue most often:
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

why is "erase junk mail" de-highlighted in the drop down menus. I'm not able to delete my junk mail box without doing each one individually. Simple, but please someone help with an answer. Thanks.
My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Ok one day out of the blue my ipod just stopped working it wouldnt turn on nothing but after recovering it, it's fine now but there is only one problem my screen wont work i can't do anything on it not even unlock it please someone help!!!!
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order -
It also happens on my iPad and MacBook Pro because I use the same email address on them both. Please someone help me. It's only the apple emails by the way.
Your password was sent to your emergency email address. Perhaps you have an email you never use? I use the free email from my cable TV account as my emergency email.
Your Apple account and cloud account are separate. You could even have completely different user and password. Most of us use the same user ID and password, but they are not the same thing, don't mix them up.
If you can't retrieve emergency email, you will have to call apple support.

25k Limit in iTunes Match? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!
I have been collecting music steadily for almost 25 years now. In 2009, before selling them on eBay, I had over 2,000 CDs in my collection. At that point I ripped them all into iTunes and stored the files on an external drive. I have continued to steadily collect music since then...ripping CDs borrowed from friends, free (and legal) downloads, bit torrent concert DLs from places like Archive.org and yes, many purchases from the iTunes store.
Currently I have 45,962 songs, weighing in at just shy of 264 GB. I have a 260 GB iPod Classic which I LOVE, but unfortunately outgrew quite some time ago (260 actually means 241 or so). Needless to say, I have very eclectic taste in music, and one thing I LOVE to do is listen to my ENTIRE collection on shuffle. I also have 30-or-so playlists which I add tracks to as they come up on shuffle. Once I reached the limit on my iPod, I set it to only sync checked songs and began systematically unchecking songs I don't like or like "not-as-much." This worked fine for some time, but I am all out of files to "uncheck" (I tend to only buy music I like). Additionally, I now need to quickly uncheck a bunch of files every time I get new music, if I want to listen to it on my iPod. For some time I held onto some hope that Apple would put out a 320 GB Classic, but sadly that is never going to happen.
I have a 16 GB iPhone 5, but storing music in that would be ridiculous.
Since getting my Mac, I have a renewed passion for my iTunes library and music collection (not-so-fun with semi-functional PCs). I am finally able to organize my library like I like to, and would LOVE to be able to access it remotely. A friend recently told me to check out iTunes Match, which reads like Storybook Fantasy in its description. Imagine my disappointment to learn that there's a 25k song limit! Tracks purchased from iTunes don't count toward the 25k, but I am not about to start re-buying 90% of my music just to use iTunes Match. I purchased a 3T WD My Cloud, hoping that would solve the issue, but apparently Apple's proprietary restrictions prevent the iTunes server from streaming remotely on my device using this service.
I read here in the forums, someone's instructions on how to essentially have TWO libraries, scaling one down to 25k...WHAT? I'd be better off just sticking with my Classic, which fits around 33k songs!
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP...Does anyone out there know of any way to accomplish what I want to do? I want to be able to access and play my entire music library (about 46,000 songs and growing), through iTunes (playlists, play count intact), through an app on my phone.
I own the following equipment:
(Late 2014) 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display (running OS Yosemite)
260 GB iPod Classic
16 GB iPhone 5 (running iOS 8.1.2)
WD 3T My Book
WD 3T My Cloud
Thank you. Please help. Thank you.

Why is it nonsense?
iCloud Drive storage is not the same as iTunes match. ITunes Match does not store your music but matches with what's on the Apple servers and uploads non matched music.

Where shall I start?
The music that is uploaded to iTunes Match (as you mentioned) is stored in iTunes Match. If it is not then where exactly is it? User uploaded tracks are subject to a 25,000 limit. There is no limit to the amount of iTunes purchased music.
All music stored in Match (either uploaded by you or purchased from iTunes by you) is available for streaming or download to an IOS or OSX device (Windows may be download only)
It's nonsense because it is almost entirely incorrect. -
Big problem installing... Please someone help :-(
Ok I started up the bootcamp assistant (with my windows xp disc already in the MacBook) and continued to partition the drive as shown on the video demonstration on the apple website. I believe I gave it 80gb for windows and the rest of the 250gb to the mac. I believe this was about 70gb. Now once the partitioning was done the windows installer automatically came up without me pressing anything. It went through a short installation process on a blue screen and came up with the option to choose a partition.
This is where I realised there was an issue. There was only one option present for the partitions. This partition was called partition 1 and had around 120gb all of which was available. I thought this didn't look correct so I quit out. A warning came up saying that the installation wasn't complete. Now when I start the mac is goes to a plane black screen. If I start it up holding the alt key it only displays one hard drive named windows.
I am now very worried all my stuff stored on the mac is is gone. Can someone please explain what I did wrong because I didn't format the drive or anything and so did not delete anything at all on the hard drive. I feel like everything should be there but I can't get into it. Putting in my os install disc didn't help at all. Please someone help!I think its that its tried to install it on my initial partition for some reason. But like I said I did not even go far enough to choose a partition. It did some installation stuff on the blue screen without me pressing a single button. The minute it wanted me to pick a partition and then format it I realised there was something wrong and backed out. I have no idea why it is now coming up as windows. My main question really is: is there anyway to get it back to what it was? I would really appreciate any help on this matter as I feel a bit out of my depth
NOTE: I realise it was ridiculous of me to do it without first backing up all my data, however the video made it look fool-proof and also I only was planning at that point to create the partition first. But as soon as I created the partition the blue screen came up and it started to install. I pressed nothing at all at that point, and it didnt take very long so I couldnt see how it would delete all my data.
