Complete album is now listed as singles

I purchase the rest of a album, I was able listen to it without any problems, everything was in order. Today I went to add the album to a playlist and the album is missing but all of the songs are now listed as singles. Is there a way I can fix this without having to constantly put the album back together?

Select all the songs from that album, right click and chose "Get Infomation". Under the "Information" select the Album box and type its name. Then click apply.

HT1849 How do I transfer a single song that I purchased into my complete my album so I can have the complete album and not an incomplete album missing the single.

How do I transfer a single that I bought previously before purchasing the complete my album so that I have the complete album and not missing the single?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Not sure what you mean by transfer. I suspect you are trying to get it listed in iTunes as part of the album, in which case you can change the details in 'Get Info'.

How can i rename album titles already listed at itunes store ?

greetings.
i'm an indie artist being told the names of my albums have to be changed to comform to the new itunes store standards or have them removed. this is really ridiculous because one of my existing albums already has the formatting it was submitted as and yet i'm still being told the other two albums must be renamed.
the first album title is listed as : "single of the month club - volume one alt mixes"
it is precisely as i intended it to be named.
the second album title arrived as : "single of the month, vol. 2" but it should have been "single of the month club - volume two alt mixes".
the "-" was replaced by a "," and the word "volume" was truncated to "vol." and the word "two" was replaced by the number "2" and the "alt mixes" portion was removed completely.
the third album title arrived as : "single of the month club, vol. three (alt mixes)" but it should have been "single of the month club - volume three alt mixes". the "-" was replaced by a "," and the word "volume" was truncated to "vol." and "alt mixes" is wrapped in parenthesis for some reason.
what i'm looking for here is consistancy. as an artist i should not be made to alter my artistic vision. there are several existing album titles within the itunes store that contain all these elements that i'm being told i have to change. if my first album title can exist as intended, then the two subsequent album titles should be allowed to exist as intended.
note: these albums were submitted through cdbaby.com and their reply to the question is : "The formatting guidelines put in place are relatively recent (in the past couple of months), so older projects may have not been adjusted yet by iTunes (generally modifications won't be made unless an album is brought to their attention)."
i have not been able to find any way to contact the itunes store directly for this matter other than through this forum.
any assistance is greatly appreciated.
thank you,
mully

Hey allaboutlooks,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I'd check out the following article, which goes over possible issues with the Mac App Store you may encounter and possible resolutions:
Troubleshooting the Mac App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3624
I would primarily try the following steps:
Delete the app that will not open.
Open the Mac App Store.
Ensure that you are logged in to the Mac App Store with the same account that purchased the app.
Select the Purchases view from the top of the Mac App Store window.
Find the app and click the Install button beside it.
The app will be installed on the Mac you are using.

How to show only complete albums in Albums view NOT singles?

I will try to explain this sa simple as I can:
- In albums view I ONLY want my completed albums listed.
- I tried to rename the album title of all my singles or songs with incomplete albums as "singles/incomplete albums" but they are still listed individually by artists under albums. So instead of one album names "singles.." there are hundreds with that name, just as before, one big hodgepodge of albums.
- I just want all my full albums (500 or so) listed nice and neat NOT like 2000 albums listed.
- To have my albums nice and sorted I have always had to make an individual playlist for eah album, under a folder called "albums". I figured by iTunes 11 I would be able to have only my full albums listed in one place AND be able to use the new slick looking interface.
Thanks!

- I tried to rename the album title of all my singles or songs with incomplete albums as "singles/incomplete albums"
Then you have already done the hard part. Now, just make a smart playlist with the rule "Album" "does not contain" "incomplete". Go into that smart playlist and switch to Album view.

I have over 1200 songs in my iTunes library that have always synced fine, I have added a new album to my list from one of my CD's, synced to add it to my library but less that 100 songs are now on my device and no matter how many ways I try its not worked

I have over 1200 songs in my iTunes library that have always synced fine, I have added a new album to my list from one of my CD's, synced to add it to my library but less that 100 songs are now showing on my device and no matter how many ways I try its not able to show any more.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to rectify the situation as I have tried every help setting for the last 4 hours.

I have tried everything I have read on the Internet about sync issues and restore etc and not there isn't a single song on my iPad or iPod touch. All of the songs are listed in my iTunes but are all greyed out, some have the cloud symbol next to them but lots don't and some say waiting.
Long and short is nothing will save to my devices at all.....HELP !!!!!!!?

In ios 6 I could choose an artist on the music app and see all his albums in a list. Now, with ios 7, it shows all the songs from every album, making it EXTREMELY hard to see all the albums. Is there a way to minimize this view and see only the albums?

Hello!
I need some help with the music app in ios 7...
In ios 6, I could choose an artist from the "srtists" view and it would show me all his albums as a list. Now, in ios 7, when I choose an artist, it shows me every song underneath every album, making it impossible to see al the albums at once! Is there anyway to minimize this view so I could see only the albums' titles as a list?
It is VERY annoying. I would very much appreciate any help on this!
Thank you

Exactly!
This is all about the experience and accessibility. I don't even mind if the new desing is beautiful or not, but if I find myself, like you, avoiding looking for my music, my experience becomes frustrating. I have about 35 albums of a single artist and I used to love going over them and choose the right thing for me, especially being on the road a lot, and now I have to think twice about even entering his name.
I really hope Apple will take those kind of things into consideration when they issue updates for ios 7, and maybe also give us back the goole search which was embeded into the spotlight search (which is really not that big of a request).
And for your 4s - get the new iphone, it's MUCH better

How come I complete my album but the original single stays separate? What's the point completing the album if I can't then listen to it? Am I doing something wrong? The album was released after the single.

I have used complete my album a few times and each time the single I bought first - before getting the option to complete - doesn't get listed in the album. It wouldn't matter too much but usually it's the best track! Also for artists like Plan B where there is a narrative to the album you have a piece missing! Is the bottom line that unless I buy the track from the album (rather then the single) then that's how it works? If so there should be some way of fixing it?

You might be able to do some of this with retaining the original information if you enter it into the sort ___ fields. Never worked with those myself.

I have bought complete albums in the past... Now that I am trying to download them from the cloud, some songs no longer appear in My Purchases... How can/do I retrieve them?

Do those tracks still show on the album in the store ? If not then the rights-holder must have removed them, in which case you won't be able to redownload them, you will have to copy them back from your backup of your downloads/library. If they are still on the album in the store then check to see if you've hidden them : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support

How do i play a list of ten complete albums?

I want to listen to my music the way the production engineer put it together in complete albulms, How do I do this in Itunes? Thie is the biggest thing I miss about music match.
Thanks in advance.

If I go by your subject title; "how do (I) play a list of ten complete albums", then the answer is put each album into the same Playlist, in the order you want them to play, and then play the list without using shuffle.
However, if I look at the body of your thread;
survey89 wrote:

that suggests that you are simply referring to one album at a time, and that my previous answer would not in fact address your issue.
So, even though I'm still smarting from the bashing I had after helping someone else with that question, I'll point you to the thread. The subject title is
Is there any way whatsoever to listen to an album exactly as it was recorded without it inserting gaps between the tracks, crossfading, or anything else?

You will probably need to read the complete thread, I'm afraid.
Feel free to ask further questions about your issue.

Sounds like there is some discrepancies in the tagging in iTunes. See this page for more information.

Complete My Album via Wish List

I would like to know is if "Complete My Album" and the "Wish List" will work together. There is an album I wish to complete, while also purchasing the items in my wish list. When I add the album "to be completed" to my wish list, however, it shows up at full price.
Is there a way to purchase everything at once (at the proper prices) or do I have to make separate purchases?
T.I.A.

Thank you, for the info. Hopefully, Apple will be able to upgrade the process so that everything can be purchased at one time. I do like having both options.

Replatformed hard drive and now I dont have complete albums and it is not showing in purchases or downloads

I replatformed the hard drive on my computer and now I am missing many songs from complete album purchases. They are also not showing in recent purchases and downloads in the iTunes store. No, I did not have a back up of the music...my mistake certainly! Is there anyway to get these songs back?

Open iTunes, select Authorize this computer from the Store menu.
You may be able to recover from your iPod Touch with a third-party utility such as Phone to PC.

How to I get iTunes to merge partial albums into a complete album?

When I've brought a single before the album was out the album then lists all the tracks but not the single(s) already in itunes.
For example I have all tracks but track 3 is missing and displayed and played as a single and its missing if i play just the album.
Real example: I have Muse's album Black Holes and Relevations, brought Supermassive Black Hole before the Album. Now I have Black Holes as a single and tracks 1,2 4-11 but no track 3. So when I play the album either in iTunes or any of my apple devices it doesnt have a complete album.
I have a few of these uncomplete albums, it is very annoying!
Any ideas what i can do?
I have been to the iTunes store online and it already says i have purchased the missing track so it recognises that I have brought it but won't put it in its right place!
Thanks!

The song is tagged differently.
Right-click (CTRL-click) the single > Get Info > Info and make sure the fields are the same as the fields for the songs in the album except for the name and track number.

Why does my music from one album show up as two separate albums: one with all the songs in it, and another with two or three. Why is it that when i delete the incomplete album it takes the same songs out of the complete album also?

When I first imported music from my CDs onto my iTunes library, all the songs appeared, but those with the album artist and guest/additional artists they appeared in their own album under the same album name. After searching through iTunes help and support, I learned how to put all the songs under the same album (part of a compalition) and add the additional songs information, artwork, lyrics, etc. After getting all the music (imported from my CDs) onto the iTunes library and in their album. I synced my music onto my iPhone. (My iPhone is a 3GS)
Once the music was on my iPhone i noticed that the albums appeared in 2s again. One was the complete album with all the songs, song info, etc. together (solo tracks and/or one with multiple artists) and another album of the same name, artwork, etc. with 2-4 of the songs from that album. Since all I saw need for was to have the completed album on my iPhone, I deleted the album with only 2-4 of the songs. When I went back and selected the completed album, all the songs I had deleted from the incomplete album were also deleted from the completed album too! I just couldn't figure out why it did that and my my friends with iPods and iPhones said they didn't know what caused it either. So now I'm here with the idea how to fix this problem.
If anyone has a solution to this problem, please reply. It will be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.
