Compilation not grouping

I just downloaded a compilation album from the iTunes store and it is not grouping together, I have gone into the info and checked that it is a compilation (yes is marked in the drop down menu) under the preferences I have checked group compilations together and still 2 songs are not grouping with the rest of the album.
The only difference in these two songs from the others is that they are live.
What else can I do to get them to group together? (I realize that if I were to change the artist they would group but I like knowing who is singing what song)
Any suggestions?

Sometimes there can be empty spaces hiding in the tags. I would select them all and retype the album name in Get Info. (Do them all at once.)

Songs from same album not grouped together.

Hello,
I just received a new ipod nano (the new ones) as a gift and all though i love it i am having some troubles with Itunes 7,
the first problem is that iTunes does not group some songs from the same album together, I made sure that all the album details are the same but still I tunes separates certain songs from the album, In case I am not clear here is a link to a screen shoot:
http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/188/ssngtud2.jpg
As you can see some songs from System of a downs album "Steal this album" are arranged as separate songs, how can I change this?
A second problem I have encountered is with compilation specifically with classical music, ITunes slashes the 10 track album into 10 separate songs, although I marked them all as a part of a compilation and set the preferences to display compilations, screen shots;

1. Is there any way ITunes can display these tracks together?
2. If I move this album to my IPod (after setting it to display compilations) will it show them together as one album?
Thanks for your help in advance

For your first problem, make absolutely certain that there are no hidden spaces at the end of the Artist or Album fields. Also check track number of and disk number of fields. Finally, and this may be most likely, make sure that you use the same Album Artist for each song (blank, or System of a Down).
For the second issue, make sure all songs on the album are marked as "Part of a Compilation", then sort your library as "Album by Artist" (you may need to click the Album header a few times to see that). The Compilations will then be bumped to the bottom of your library. On your iPod, turn Compilations ON to see similar grouping of compilations.

Album compilation not consolidating

Hi, so I have an album of songs where it has the same album name but of mixed artists. I've added it into itunes and they are not grouped into one album under the 'album' tab. And so I right click into 'info' and check the box for 'consolidate' to 'yes', click 'okay', but they are still not grouped together as the same album. Upon repeat of the above steps, the 'consolidate' box had become unchecked. This has previously worked for other albums but just not for this specific one. Any ideas?
Thanks!

With compilations, I ALWAYS use the individual Artist names, but Album Artist is "Various Artists" and THEN I check "Compilation".
Also in the Sorting, make sure the Sort Album Artist is set to "Various Artists", and Sort Album shows the Album Name.
Then you'll find it in Album View under "Various Artists"

I lost all of my Itunes music because of an infection that required them to wipe my computer. I am trying to get the music back from multiple sources. What I have recovered is a mess. Albums are mixed or songs not grouped as album. Help?

My computer got infected with some terrible virus. I contacted the manufacturer and they said the only thing to do was wipe the whole thing. I could not back it up bec this mess?ause it would include the infection. I have been trying to recover the lost music from several different places. A friend tried to help me by putting all of his music on my computer from his external hard drive. That was very nice of him but now it is a terrible mess. The recovered songs are not grouped into albums correctly. Some albums are mixed - every other song is from the other album. Some songs are listed separately and not grouped as an album. I tried to ask iTunes to find album art work and it has been running that for over 48 hours. Is that possible? When I try to stop it I get a message that says I will lose all the data. I admit that I am not very tech. savvy and I really don't know what I am doing. It took me more than 20 years to make that collection and I am heart broken. Do you have any ideas about how I start to fix

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order.

I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order. The "Apply Sort Field" and "Same album does not work, but ti is only these two RCA albums that do this. All other albums remain intact. Need help with this minor problem. Thanks.

UPDATE: This behavior (to an extent) still happens when "Repeat Album" is off. Instead of an infinite loop, it goes through all the tracks on the album (unsuccessfully) and kicks me out to the Album overview screen. Going back to list of Albums and tapping the Album again brings up "No Content: You can download music from the iTunes Store" but that screen immediately kicks me back to list of Albums.
So I am just even more confused now.

How do i get my photos to stream to my iPad in the events that were oringally created. Right now they are streaming as photos and are not grouped at all. I would like to get them back into the events that were originally created

Hi..
Thanks for the reply..
My original I Phone 5 was running IOS 6.12
My I phone 5S currently runs IOS 8..When I upgraded it, it had IOS 7 on it which made the I Photo app compatible with everything below IOS 8...( which the photo app is not compatible with ) so I just connected the I Phone 5S to my computer and thinking the new phone had IOS 7 on it that these was nothing to worry about..I thought all 900 + pictures in the photo stream would transfer but somewhere in the process, I Tunes decides to just go and install IOS 8 which requires that you run a " Photo Migration App" to transfer photos from IOS 7 & below. The problem was is that I didn't want IOS 8 on my new 5S so I thought I wouldn't have to do that part..
Anyway the phone emerged with IOS 8 on it and the only photos that remained were the ones that were actually on the phone..The 900 + I had in the stream didn't transfer because the Photos that works on IOS 7 and below isn't compatible with IOS 8..I guess you have to use the photo migration app that comes with IOS 8 & I phone 6..But I didn't ask to upgrade to IOS 8...It just did it on it's own!
I still have the I Phone 5 Back up that I did just before giving it back to Verizon but if I try to restore the I Phone 5S running IOS 8 those photos in the stream will not go back on the phone because IOS 8 isn't compatible with the I Photos" that ran on IOS 7 and below..
So I have an I Pad mini that runs IOS 7..should I try and erase it...and put that I Phone 5 backup on it and pray the photos that were in the stream come back on it so I can transfer them back to my computer...then erase the I pad mini again and restore it using it's original backup that I have on the computer and the in the cloud?
I know this sounds confusing but I'm at a loss as to what to do..This is what I found ...http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201386
but it doesn't help me..

Events are not grouped by date

Recently I had a crash on my iPhoto and had to basically re-input all 60,000 photos. All went well and iPhoto working okay now. Only issue is the events are not grouped by date anymore. meaning I have several events that are on the same date. All the setting appear to be correct.
Is there a way to have iPhoto regroup the events all by date?

The only way to sort events is the view menu --> sort events - Using it you can re-sort events a few ways
Events are not categorized so there is no way to "re-categorize" them
What you need to do is to restore your backup of the iPhoto library from before the crash that caused you to import your masters folder into iPhoto
And probably if you had rebuild the library after the crash you would have been OK - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database -- this will not help on the new library that you created - it has to be done on the bad library that resulted from the crash

Some Conversations Not Grouping in Outlook 2010

I have just purchased outlook 2010 about a month ago and have already noticed that it is very quirky, and I am kind of disappointed in the performance of the program. I am a home user, and I like the functionality of Outlook as I am used to it from work
and the ability it has to hold my contacts, calendars and emails all in one place.
Anyway, the problem I am having at this current time with Outlook is that the conversation function is not working properly. For a majority of my group emails (about 70%), the conversation feature works great and groups all of my "chain" emails between friends
or family together (based on topic). However, I have been noticing a few email chains are not grouping properly. Sometimes outlook will leave one message out of the group or it just wont group the emails at all, and I am left with a cluttered and unorganized
inbox.
I have done a lot of research on this already and have found nothing. I am aware of the fact that the conversation feature works off of the email subject line, and for the emails that do not get grouped in the conversation have nothing changed at all in regards
to the subject line. All these emails are grouping properly on my iPhone as well, so Apple's software seems to be working with no problems.
Does anyone have any clue what else could be affecting some of my emails and emails chains from grouping with the conversation setting? Thanks in advance!

Hi Nalin,
Outlook 2010 doesn’t group the conversation based on subject, It uses the message header (Thread-Index:) to group the messages.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/view-e-mail-message-headers-HA001230300.aspx (Find: conversation)
Thanks, Dilip
Hi Nalin,
Thanks so much for your reply. :-)
Hi Dilip,
Thanks for your reply too. I saw some posts talking about this the other day. So in light of the conversation thread here and what you've brought up...that Blackberry devices seem to alter the Message Header, then, which in turn causes the
Blackberry reply emails to be separated from the rest of the email conversation grouping in Outlook 2010, do you know of a way to configure Blackberry devices so that they maintain the same Message Header so that a Blackberry reply email remains with the original
Outlook email conversation group?
Thanks!
Well, I've done a little more research. A
post from a guy named David Hogue led me to this tool named
MFCMAPI. You don't have to install it. You just run it. So I used it to navigate to emails in my folders where 4 emails were properly grouped and 2 emails were excluded from this conversation group (but they should have been
included).
Looking at the properties of the emails, I noticed there is a property called "Conversation ID". This seems to be the property responsible for keeping the emails properly grouped together. The problem, though, is that Outlook has the additional
complexity of showing the little orange lines and dots to display emails in the conversation at the proper level, what email the reply was in response to in the conversation thread, etc. Because of these additional features, the "Conversation ID"
is not just a standalone property value that can be adjusted. It's buried within binary information which includes all of this leveling information. So I could not find an easy way to adjust the "Conversation ID" and also have
all of this other information Outlook uses for conversation grouping level purposes.
Here's an additional test I did just to see how Outlook handles grouping. I took one of the emails that is currently excluded from the proper conversation thread. I started an email reply from it, changed the recipient to myself, and changed
the subject line to make sure that it used "Re: " before sending the reply email to myself. The email I received ended up being grouped properly with the rest of the conversation. Therefore, my conclusion is that Blackberrys are doing something
even deeper than just changing the "RE: " to "Re: " which is causing this problem. Whatever the Blackberrys are doing, they are causing Outlook to flag the email as a separate conversation and after Outlook has done this, the complexity of the email's
properties are such that trying to get this email back into the right conversation thread is not an easy task at all.

JPG and RAW files are not grouped together.

I am finding that my RAW and JPG files are not grouped together. They show up on the Grid View as JPG for the JPG file and RAW + JPG for the NEF(RAW) file. This does not seem to be consistent through out the folder. Some of the pictures are grouped together and others are not. The ones that are not grouped together have been auto-stacked and then unstacked. I am not sure if this is what caused the seperation of JPG and RAW files. I did try to take a picture that I had auto-stacked it and then remove it and it did not sepearate. The "Treat JPG files next to raw files as seperate photos" option is turned off, like it is in my Lightroom 3.

This is what I'm talking about:
Show subfolders are on:
In windows Explorer:
In the Import Dialog:
Where are the files?
If I click on the Folder 2014_12_14... all the files from all folders will populate.

Episodes from the same TV show are not grouped together

Hello,
I've a cousin from the states staying with me who has no forum membership so this question is from her.
When viewing the iTunes TV Library on her MacBook, episodes from the same TV show [Journeyman] are not grouped together under the same album art even though the info on them is exactly the same except for the episode title.
While I'm here, will the Irish store ever get TV?
Any ideas.
Thanks.

Have they already completed download? If not, let them finish and then see if they are, in fact, the same episode. You may also want to check your purchase history to make sure the episode was not accidentally purchase twice:
Seeing your iTunes Store purchase history and order numbers

=) If they are the same episode, and you were not charged twice, you should feel free to delete the item.

Logical Aggregate Column (count(distinct)) Does Not Group for SQL Server DB

When utilizing the count(distinct column_name) aggregate function within a Logical Fact source in the Business Model and Mapping layer in the RPD file the output in BI Answers is not grouping correctly for SQL Server 2008 database sources only. All Oracle database sources represent the same aggregate column correctly within BI Answers.
I am using OBIEE version 10.1.3.3.3
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Kyle

I thought that I would update my current findings with this issue. If you display the report in BI Answers as a Pivot Table view the aggregate column displays properly, it does not in a Table or Compound Layout view for some reason. I am still working with Oracle Support on this.

You need to get the owner's manual for your Ford's bluetooth system to see how to put your system into discovery mode for the iPhone as well as the appropriate steps to take.
In addition, you should see if the iPhone is supported.
