Albums With Over 50 Tracks Split

Is it normal for albums with over 50 tracks to split up into different sections?
How do I take a screenshot with Mac, so I can show you what I mean.

The number of tracks shouldn't matter, but there are a number of reasons why tracks in an album don't group together. Have a look at these:

Multiple albums with a few tracks

I down loaded my cds to iTunes and they were all complete. Later I added art work and the tracks and one album it divided the tracks up and made about 4 albums with about 3 tracks each verses 1 complete album of 12 tracks. How do I consolidate them in iTunes and on my iPhone
Also how do I delete the U2 album that was put in iTunes and get it off my pnone.
Thanks.

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix split albums. For compilations of tracks by different artists set the album artist to Various Artists and also set Part of a compilation to Yes on the Options tab if using the old dialog box (hold down shift when you Get Info) or tick Album is a compilation of songs by various artists if using the new one.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.
You can manage Songs of Innocence just like any other album, or see https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/offerOptOut.

ITunes 12 is making 1 album become several different albums with the same tracks. How do I combine them again?

I had an issue in past versions of iTunes, where I would rip a CD and, for some reason, iTunes would turn it into several different CDs instead of just one, even though everything about the album was the same (as in same artist, same album name, same year, etc). It seems as though that issue has returned and one album with 6 tracks is now 3 albums (1 album has 1 song, another has 2 and the third has 3). Yet, it's all the same album. I re-entered the data for the album name and artist, but it doesn't work like the previous versions. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening (other then bugs) or how to fix it?

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group of identical tracks to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. This can happen, for example, if you start iTunes with a disconnected external drive, then connect it, reimport from your media folder, then restart iTunes.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping, whether you do so by hand or using my script, in case something goes wrong.

When importing a cd it splits the album into separate individual tracks instead of 1 album with numerouse tracks - how do I get them all together

When I import a CD from the Apple Mac drive it splits the cd into numerous single tracks in itunes instead of 1 album with all the tracks. How can I get it to import to the one place. I did try importing the same cd on a friends apple mac to see if it did the same thing and it imported the cd as 1 album with all tracks in there so I can't understand why it's separating them all.

This happens mostly when you import a compilation or a CD that is not noted in the Gracenote Database.
How to change back in one Album:
Mark all titles of that album (shift or cmd click)
Right click and choose "Get info"
Fill in the wanted name in "Album" and "Album Artist*"
Drag&Drop the wanted Album Art to the little window down right in that pane.
iTunes group and sort albums by that two entry's in the info pane. If the CD is not listed in the database but the titels, iTunes split the album to fit the titles to eventually matching albums of the artists.
Cheers - Lupunus
* If you import a compilation, choose "various artits" for the Album Artist field.

In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

Hello, all.
In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
Type in the name of the track.
Click the album of interest to show tracks.
Select the track.
Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
Double click the track you want to start playing first.

Trouble synching Photo Album with 1600+ photos and videos

I have a very big album with over 1600 pics and videos. At some point after 1200 or so, I started getting error messages when trying to synch my photos to my computer. I am terrified to loose my pictures and want them on my phone at all times (they represent a video journal of my now year old twins since they were born). Does anyone have any idea of how I can continue to synch them with my computer without having to erase them from my phone?
Thank you!

Photos/videos in your iPhone's Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. This is an import process, not a sync process.
With every other digital camera I've used and imported photos and/or video from, I've always deleted the photos and/or video from the digital camera after the import process is complete.
After doing the same with your iPhone, you can transfer selected photos and video back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - creating separate albums by month for example for the 1600 photos and videos. Keeping your iPhone's Camera Roll to a minimum will speed up your iPhone's backup process - which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the sync process.
With iPhoto on my Mac when importing photos from my iPhone or from any digital camera, Events are created automatically based on the date the photos were taken. An Event is created for all photos captured on a particular day with an option to split a single Event into multiple Events. I can also create albums for select photos with an option to transfer selected iPhoto albums and/or Events to my iPhone keeping photos organized by Event and/or by Album as I prefer on my computer which is also reflected with the Events and/or Albums I've selected to be transferred to my iPhone.

ITunes 7 has split my albums up into individual tracks in cover view!

In the two new views in itunes 7 many of my albums have been split up into individual tracks. Is there anything I can do to 'consolidate' them back?
Power Book Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi there, I have the same problem, Albums I've imported from CD and albums I've bought through itunes now display as separate tracks in both views with album art. Also in list view if I click on an album all its tracks are now not in the correct album order but mixed up, so if I use the album view im left with 10 album covers for the same album with 1 track per cover and in list view everything is all mixed up. I wish I'd never upgraded from itunes 6 as this is now a complete mess and almost unusable with 300 albums of music "WELL DONE APPLE" as a 12 year mac user Im starting to feel like im back using windows 3.1 again

I had this same problem and started a thread, but for the most part nobody responded and those who did somehow didn't understand what the problem was.

I'm sure the problem is sweat getting into the apple supplied headphone "remote." Basically even the smallest drop can slide down the wire and get into the unit.
Unfortunately I haven't found a solution other than to get a Belkin remote adapter and some sport headphones. This doesn't give you voice over, but you can still control the volume, skip, etc.
I've been doing this for a couple weeks now and it hasn't had a freak out since.

When I rip a CD to iTunes. All goes well until I click on All Albums. If there are other artists named with the Title Artist they are shown as different albums so I end up with 16 albums containing 1 track instead of 1 Album with 16 tracks. Can I fix this

When I rip a CD to iTunes all goes well until I click on All Albums. If there are other artists named as well as the Title Artist, I end up with what appears as 16
Albums with 1 track instead of 1 Album with 16 tracks. Can I fix this ?

Had a similar problem with two tracks from a cd being segregated in a separate list, but with the same album title and artwork as the other 19 tracks. I found that by double clicking the artist field next to the album icon you can then edit that info. In your case it sounds as if you might want to erase the artist info altogether. Once you have done that, all the tracks magically group together, as they should have done in the first place. Oh there might be a dialog box first, asking if you really want to do this.
Hope this helps.

Problem with iTunes purchased track. I purchased an album from the store and downloaded. I contacted support as one track was defective and had this one track setup to re-download, which was successful.

I purchased an album with 11 tracks from the Store. When the download was complete, I edited the name to make it easier for me to find. I then synced my iPod and iPad with the new album. However I found that one of the tracks was defective and after writing to the support community, a second download was setup and this fixed the bad track. I was surprised that when the track downloaded, it went to the track with the new name. However it works perfectly on my computer. For some reason, the iPod and iPad have synced a few times but the track for this album on these is the original track with the defect and this has not fixed, though there have been multiple times that it has synced. The laptop with its corrected track works fine.
The message from support told me to be sure that the software on my laptop was the current version and I did correct this before getting that corrected download. However I notice that my iPod says that it has the latest version and won't check for an update until 2/24.
Can you help me figure this out. I thought if I could delete this track off the iPod and iPad that it would sync the correct version, but I can't see how to delete these.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the problem tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

How can I get a Album with multiple artists to appear as a single album with all of the tracks?

How can I get a Album that contains multiple artists to appear as a single album with multiple tracks? Also when I sync iTunes with my iPhone or iPad the Album appears as multiple albums with each artist. The Album title is the same on each of the affected tracks.

Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist" or check the "compilation" flag.
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

Is it possible in iTunes 11 to get the old album list view, with covers and track listings like in 10?

Is it possible in iTunes 11 to get the old album list view, with covers and track listings like in 10?
If not, then to me that is a huge retrograde step

No, the old album list view is not an option in iTunes 11...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
If you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

Listing tracks from an album with multiple artists as part of one single album

When listing my music by album on my iphone 4, tracks from the same album with multiple artists appear as separate albums. How can I get the iphone to list these as part of one single album? For example, "Rock of Oldies" is a compilation with 50's music, but on my iphone it appears as a long list of distinct albums: Rock of Olides - Elvis Presley, Rock of Oldies - Beach Boys, and so on. I tried bulk-selecting these and flagging them as "part of a compilation" on itunes, but it doesn't seem to help on my iphone...

I just tried, but they still remain listed as separate albums on my iphone when i view by album...

Problem with layering over one track

Okay so I'm making a track with my guitar. When I make a mistake...I like to go back and fix it (like add an echo or sustain) then when I move the bar over to add that one little part on one track...the rest of it erases. Is there something I can do so when I crop, it doesn't erase what I had before. I don't want to make millions of extra tracks just because I made a mistake. It's dumb to start the track all over.
Also can I change time signature and tempo in one song?

What I described is the best way to do it. You replace what you did originally with the new region. You can resize the old region to hide the mistake so you don't hear it.
You can of course try to use the Count In feature (assuming GB3 still has it), but most people find no end of trouble trying to do that. What I described is simple, and gets the result exactly as you want it ... you wind up with a single track.

Problems with some single tracks downloaded or only part of playlist appear as an album on iPhone.

Two problems:
1) Some single tracks I've downloaded (ie not part of an album in my ITunes) still appear as an album (with 1 song) when I sync with the iPhone. I've deleted all the album info so only track title and artist appear. This only happens with some tracks.
2) I've put some tracks from albums I have in iTunes into a playlist. In some cases when I have not synced the whole album to the iPhone those single tracks appear as an album (with 1 or 2 songs). I can't delete them from the album list on the iPhone as it deletes the track from the playlist. And I can't delete the album data in iTunes as the track is then removed from the album. I tried grouping the playlist but this makes no difference.
Both are really annoying as it only happens with some tracks and adds single songs to my album list. I have checked and all the visible data is the same and nothing random or odd is ticked or populated.
Is there any way I can solve either of these?

You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option which is revealed in the iTunes app on your iOS device by tapping the more button at the bottom of the screen.
