Can I Consolidate A Compilation?

It's probably too late to do this, but it can't hurt to ask...
I recently purchased book offer that included 40 "bonus" tracks (one of those "but wait.. you also get! things...) all by different artists. The deliverable was pretty awful to begin with, had to download all the tracks individually, and then discovered that all the ID3 tags were incomplete, etc. etc. Excellent marketing, lousy delivery.
The issue now is that when I imported all these tracks, iTunes imported them all and created a new artist for most of them, adding about 35 artists to my already entirely too long listing of artsts - all with just ONE track each.
What I'd like to do is change the name of the artists to something common to the entire collection, then maybe specify the individual artists elsewhere in the info - so that all these tracks wind up in a single folder, rather than spread across 35 folders.
Is there anyway to do that? I mean, and, move the tracks from their present location to a new one? I tried it with one track but that didn't seem to work so... I'm dubious.
I would like to do this before I transfer the material from my desktop to my laptop so that I can get it into my iPhone - I try to keep those folders clean and simple, but I'm starting to have my doubts about being able to do that if I really want this material on my mobile.
Thanks,

I have 2 iTunes accounts, how can I consolidate them?

I just got the iPod Touch 5th gen. I was so excited about setting it up, that I set up a new iTunes account. How can I consolidate the 2 accounts, so that all my music and other files from my first account can be available on my iPod?

You can't
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

I apparently have more than one Apple ID. So, 1) how do I find out how many different ones exist, and 2) how can I consolidate them into one or two?

I have inadvertenly created two or more different Apple IDs. How can I learn all the different IDs associated with my email accounts or my name? How can I consolidate the different IDs into one or two?

Go to https://iforgot.apple.com/ and click the blue link "Forgot your Apple ID?"
It will result a page in which you can provide some contact information that may possibly find an existing Apple ID.

This cannot be accomplished.

I have multiple iPhoto libraries w/ duplicates in several. How can I consolidate and find the dupes? Some photos are versions of the original.

I have multiple iPhoto libraries w/ duplicates in several. How can I consolidate and find the dupes? Some photos are versions of the original. On my iMac, I also have many folders containing some of the same photos. My computer is used for both personal and business purposes. My libraries should be separated, one for each.

To merge libraries use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - or Aperature
To find duplicates within an iPhoto library use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -
Photos that are not in an iPhoto library can be imported telling iPhoto not to import duplicates (an imperfect procews) and then IPLM can find the duplicates
As to keeping seperate libraries - only you can do that - IPLM can move photos between libraries for you but only you can know which photos should be in which library

HT1660 I have two iTunes libraries on two different pc's (one windows and one Mac). Can I consolidate these on an external hard drive?

I have two iTunes libraries on two different pc's (one windows and one Mac). Can I consolidate these on an external hard drive?

I'm sorry I just saw the last post. I had two users on my hard drive, one for me and one for my daughter, but I am not sure what you mean by partioning my external????? I have heard the term before, but don't know how to do it. I am having serious crashing issues with this computer and believe I really need to do a clean install. I just want to make sure everything for both ipods is safe (is???? I think so, everything is......I hate when the English language does this to me!)

How can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up but song and artist?

how can you get a compilation album to show up as one album rather than be split up by song and artist? I've got loads of albums on iTunes that are compliations and they are all mixed up by track/ artist. Even when you click 'show album' it still just shows the album title and then the artist in alphabetical order - so the album is replicated several times
Can anyone tell me how to amalgamate compliation albums please?

Can i consolidate all of my comments to the top of the document for a summary and then have these linked to the position in the doc, using adobe reader on i pad?

HI, can i consolidate all of my comments in a document to the top for quick review and then click on each ro jump to the posi in the text? I am using adobe reader for ipad. Thanks

Hi Steve,
Thanks. I have it sussed. I saved from Ipad to Acrobat.com, but the functionality in AC.com is crap so I download to hard drive and open with reader on my hard drive and that way can see the comments. I'm sure there is a better way to do this so will keep playing around with it.
Also, do you know how I can include my text comments in IPAD PDF in the search function of PDF reader for IPAD? Say for example I want to search for the word action through a 200 page document. It won't search the comments as nothing found when I search through a scanned document.
Thanks again,

Can't consolidate library (it disappeared in iTunes 8)

I recently download iTunes 8 and I am completely satisfied with Genius.
Thing is, now I can't consolidate my library to my external hard drive.
Anybody know what happened?
I would usually go to the top taskbar and use the consolidate library option in iTunes 7, but now, no more of that.

It's been moved to a slightly different location: File menu > Library > Consolidate Library.

Where can I get a compiler?

Where can I get a compiler that I can use that is like sun's but doesnt use an IDE?

This may duplicate some of what you've already done, if so fine. But please verify you've done exactly what is written or know why you shouldn't before proceeding. You may want to print these instructions before continuing.
To download the current version of Java, go here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html
and click on the word DOWNLOAD in the column labeled SDK in this line:
Windows (all languages, including English)
After downloading, click on this page of installation instructions and read through #6:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/install-windows.html
NOTE: If you are installing on other than a standard 32-bit Windows system, go to this page
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/install.html and choose the installation instructions for your system.
Install the software according to the preceeding instructions
Below is a Helloworld program, copy and paste it into your editor and save it as "HelloWorld.java" Use capitalization, Java is case-sensitive. If you're using Notepad, quote the name when saving, otherwise Notepad adds ".txt" to the name. Go to DOS/command window and check that you've got the file where you want it and that it's named correctly.
-------program HelloWorld.java--------
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main (String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
In the same directory as HelloWorld.java, enter "javac" - the program should print out a list of options, if not, set your PATH - see below.
In the same directory as HelloWorld.java, enter "javac HelloWorld.java" and the javac compiler will create HelloWorld.class. If it was successful it will not give any messages. Check that the file is created.
In the same directory as HelloWorld.java, enter "java -classpath . HelloWorld" with the spaces and the period. The program will run.
Here is additional information:
The Windows path is a set of pointers that Windows uses to locate programs that you execute, like javac.exe and java.exe. This setting is explained here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/install-windows.html
Scroll down to: 5. Update the PATH variable
(you should have already done this as part of the Java installation)
The CLASSPATH is another set of pointers that is used by Java to find the files that you create and want compiled and/or run. This setting is explained here:
Setting the Classpath:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/tooldocs/windows/classpath.html
[NOTE: always start your classpath with ".;" which means the current directory. See my classpath, below]
How Classes are Found:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/tooldocs/findingclasses.html
Examples:

How much big file can be executed or compiled by JVM/JRE?

How much big file can be executed or compiled by JVM/JRE?

The language, compiler, or JVM specs will probably say.
However, if you need to ask this question, then your classes are far too big.

Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"
Thank you

I can not run or compile java programme

I am first time java programmer I can not run or compile any java programme.
(can not read
1 error) this is the the message that I am getting from my dos

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/index.html
Try the tutorial.
It sounds like your error message comes from compiling. For example, "javac mysourcecode.java" If that is correct, the most common trouble comes from using a program like Notepad on Windows to create the soruce code. The tutorial will walk your through it.

Can I consolidate two apple id accounts?

I have 2 apple ids with apps on each account, can I consolidate the 2 accounts?

Cajun Man,
Unfortunately the answer is no. Apps are permanently associated with the account from which they were originally purchased, and there is no way to change that association.
