All tracks from one artist merged into one huge album. How to separate into correct albums?

So all the songs from one artist have merged into one huge album. All I did was select all the songs and changed the artist name. Not sure why my iPod has it under one album. On iTunes they're separated into the correct albums but on my iPod it isn't. All the info (Artist name, album name, etc) is good, i checked a million times and still can't seem to figure out why my iPod is reading it like that. Has anyone ever had this problem?

Thanks for the great link!
Although it doesn't allow me to cut 'n paste, like I was hoping, the answers give me a lot of insight as to how the track fields are structured, as well as full control over whether or not I want to group tracks together within the same Album.  So, in the end, this information is more useful than the cut 'n paste function, as it prevents me from losing potentially useful track information.

    i would like to be able to insure that when i import a CD into i-Tunes that all tracks from that CD go into a single file for that album in their proper order regardless of whether or not there is a featured artist on one or two tracks or whatever. i recentl;y imported an All Time Low CD into i-Tunes for my daughter and because one song featured a guest artist i-Tunes placed that song in a seperate folder and so when i synced my daughters i-Pod Touch that one track is not with the rest of the tracks form the album and has to be listened to seperately. The song is from the same album and should be where it belongs with the rest of that album so she can listen to the entire album with the tracks in the proper order. I am sure that this can be done i just don't know how.

    Edit the Name of the problem song to Name [Feat. Guest]
    Change the Artist of that song to All Time Low

    What you want cannot be done. iTunes has its quirks, and the above is the kind of workaround needed to make the media display sensibly on any device. The article I pointed you to has others that you may find useful in future.

  • Consolidate tracks from multiple .Band projects onto one .band project

    The subject says it all:
    how do I Consolidate tracks from multiple .Band projects onto one .band project?? I've got 4-5 tracks which are each seperate podcasts on one .band file. I need to add a few tracks from a different .band file (because they're podcasts that are part of the same podcast series project). How do I consolidate them? Tried copy/paste the track, didn't work. Thanks a TON!!!!!!!!

    you can copy and paste, it just take a little more effort to do what you want. read the tute on rescuing files and you'll see how to move one project into another:

    then create the needed tracks for the next project and move them into the right positions, etc.

  • TS3324 how do I de authorize all computers from I tunes but the one I am currently using?

    how do I de authorize all computers from I tunes but the one I am currently using?

    If you don't have access to all the computers you will have to de-authorize them all, then re-authorize the ones you wish. If you have access to all of them, then you can de-authorize each one, but must do so from the computer itself.
    De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.

  • I have just installed iTunes on my laptop and merged tracks under various artists to form one album but when I sync iTunes to my new ipod the tracks on some of the albums are appearing as single artists..... WHY????  I

    I Have just spent the best part of a week installing iTunes on my laptop, transferring over all my music and merging tracks by different artists on one album so that they all show as one album.   I have just plugged in my new ipod classic to sync all my music but the music has gone across in random tracks and split albums.... I really am losing the will to live and am about to throw both iPod and laptop out the window.... So SOMEBODY.... Please HELP.

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • How do you copy all tracks from one garageband song with all track settings to another existing file

  • How can I use all tracks from multi-channel source audio with Multicam clips?

    I cannot figure this out. Working in Premiere I'm prepping for a 2 camera show, with typically 4 to 6 track dual-system audio recorded by the sound guy. I can sync, and make multicam clips any number of ways–whether sync by timecode, sync by audio, or eyeballing–but whenever I edit using the MC clip, Premiere mixes down all the audio channels into a stereo single track, and I cannot pick and choose which audio track from the original to use. With 2-5 people mic'd on lavs, I need to be able to choose which audio is either cut in or heard at any given shot.
    Is there any way to have control in multicam clips over which track of audio gets edited into the timeline, or even: that all tracks of audio get cut in? It's very important for the editors to be able to see waveform (which also disappears for some reason in the mixdown) and pick and choose which audio is heard?
    I'm sure this might be a simple fix, but I cannot get my head around it for workflow purposes for my assistant editors. We need to use multicam, but this audio thing is driving all of us crazy. None of us can figure out how to have a multicam clip and use it with control over what audio is cut in.

    True, but what I need to be able to do is have my multicam sequence in the source monitor, and cut into my working sequence with either just the audio I need from the sound guy's multi-channel WAV, OR cut in all the sound and from then I can just enable or disable what I need or don't need. But also be able to match back to the Multicam source from my working sequence.
    I don't want to have to open the synced sequence, and razor blade the things I need and have to copy and paste into my working sequence in order to have the full spectrum of my multi-channel mono lav WAV files...with their waveforms visible.
    Essentially, I want my Multicam clips to load in the source monitor, and the ability to cut them into the working sequence without it mixing down the audio into a single track with no visible waveform–which is what it is doing currently. Can I choose to edit in either ALL of the tracks of the WAV file along with the camera shot I want, or control which audio gets cut in?

  • My icons all changed from the program icon to one Microsoft Office icon

    I was reviewing emails and was reading one....I have no idea what I did, but all the desktop icons for my various programs were all changed to one icon....which is an icon for Microsoft Office 2010.  I have tried to figure out what I need to do to reset them to what they were originally.  Does anyone know how to do this?  Can the explaination be in user friendly terminology, please.

    1. Open Windows Explorer (any folder/drive).
    2. As the IconCache is a hidden file, you need to enable “Show hidden files” option to see the same. To do this, head over to Tools > Folder Options, switch to View tab, and finally enable Show Hidden files, folders, and drives option.
    3. Now navigate to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local folder and then delete IconCache.db file. Here username is your user profile name.
    4. Reboot your computer to rebuild the icon cache.
    5. All icons should be displayed correct now.
    Alternately, you can download a tool from the following weblink that will do this for you:
    http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/141/0/e/Rebuild_Icon_Cache_v0_7b_by_screeny05.rar
    The tool has three options, one to rebuild the icon cache, another one to restore the original icon cache file and third option to delete the back up file of icon cache. When you rebuild the cache, it takes a back up of existing IconCache.db.

  • All Tracks Now Unknown Artist - Can I Reverse This And Restore All Artists

    Got a new PC one year ago. Had 350 CD's and decided to go digital with iTunes. Bought two external USB drives. One to use one for backup. Was using iTunes very happily up to one week ago. External HD one crashed. Not a problem have an EXACT COPY that was put back in the box a year ago after ripping all CD's to ext HD one and making ext HD two an EXACT COPY. Well, I plug in the ext HD two and OBVIOUSLY I had something checked wrong. iTunes in it's infinite wisdom decides that it doesn't care about my songs belonging to specific CD's, in some cases on CD per artist in others several different CD's per artist. So, now I still have all my songs BUT if I want to listen to a specific CD in either straight or random mode I CAN NOT | because ALL OF MY 4,000+ songs are all in the same folder called UNKNOWN ARTIST. I am in tears. It is nice to have the tracks but I don't know the names of most of them I listened to the CD's and knew the songs as being on a certain CD. Now all that information appears lost. AHH ! The one saving grace I may have is that I still have a copy of the original iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml THE ONES THAT WERE MADE THE SAME WEEK A YEAR AGO WHEN I FIRST RIPPED ALL MY CD'S !!! I can't re rip as I gave the CD's away since I didn't need them anymore. Might there be a way to restore the ARTIST AND CD data to each song without my having to buy all the CD's again and re-rip everything again OR having to look everything up and go into each songs info page and re-enter all the information ? PLEASE HELP ! Thanks.

    You can do a factory restore and then restore from a backup after you've upgraded.  I just did this with my mom's iPad, but you had to have either an iTunes backup or iCloud backup to do the restore.  If you don't have the backup, could be that a lot of your apps and music are still available, but your settings are lost.  Your most recent 1000 pics or so would still be in photostream, so you'd want to rescue them back to your recent pictures folder.  Your mail, contacts, reminders, notes, are all already probably in icloud or another cloud provider for those services, just need to reenter your login information.  If you do secure backups, a lot of the setup is restored, without backup, you'd need to log back in to those services like twitter, facebook, etc to see your info there.

  • How can I play all songs from an artist in the ipad 2, with the new IOS 5?

    in the music app (which was named ipod before the update for the IOS 5) I want to play all songs for a certain artist that have different albums, but I dont know how.
    hope someone can help me

    Actually, JinKL, doing a search from "Songs" is harder to do and does not give the exact same result. It's harder to do because I have to key an artist's name rather than pick one from a list. The results aren't the same for several reasons. If you key an artist name that matches a song, you get that song, too. OK, that doesn't happen THAT much, but it does happen. And if I key a partial name, say "Morrison" for "Van Morrison", I get all the songs on "Morrison Hotel" by the Doors.
    "All Songs" should be added to the iPad music player. While they're at it, they should add column titles and allow allow sorting on the column values.

  • Some Albums on iTunes separate into one album for each song on iPod

    Some of my albums, imported from CD's, show up properly on iTunes. After the sync, each song in the album shows up on the iPod Touch as a separate album with the one song. All the songs on the album are "ticked" in the iTunes list before the sync.

  • How to change sort order when viewing all tracks by an artist?

    When I choose:
    Music --> Artists --> <any artist> --> All
    The tracks are organized in the order they apear in an alphabetized list of that artist's albums.
    For example:
    Joe Blow - CD 1
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    Joe Blow - CD 2
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    In the "All Songs By Artist" list, the songs appear as:
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 3
    How can I cange the sort order, so that they are sorted alphabetically, like this?
    Track 1
    Track 1
    Track 2
    Track 2
    Track 3
    Track 3

  • 6th gen nano not syncing all tracks from library

    Can anyone tell me what the little exclamation mark beside unsynced tracks means?  I have a 6th gen nano which will only sync 491 tracks out of 1026 in my library.  I didn't have a problem when I had a 3rd Gen nano, it only seems to have happened since getting the new one.

    It means that iTunes can no longer locate that particular track in the location it is pointed at on your PC's hard drive. See this article for more information and assistance.
