Complete my album - Seriously??? Can't get track in Album & EP

For reasons I'd rather not get into I am looking at trying to have a copy of a song from an EP I bought also show up in the Album that I bought using "Complete my album". I am aware that I can change the information under "Get Info" to match either the EP or the Album but apparently it isn't possible to duplicate the track and import the two seperate files' information. I have the track in the EP folder and a copy of the track in the Album folder. The album track has been modified to match the album information but iTunes does not recognize/import that new file at all. Anyone have a solution for this?

The following will work (I just tried it!):  Put a copy of the file on your desktop.  Use a non-iTunes program, such as Winamp, to edits its tags to reflect the other album or EP. 
Then you can add it to your iTunes library and it will show in the correct place, without interfering with the other version.

    thank you

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

    (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
    I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
    I don't sync  music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
    I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
    I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
    I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
    Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
    When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
    Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them.  Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view.  I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again. 
    These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes.  My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues. 
    Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

    Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

  • 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?

  • How can I get Tracker to find a shared review PDF initiated in another domain?

    I initiated a shared review for a PDF and stored it on a network server in domain X. Subseqauently, the server was moved into a different domain, call it Y.
    Now, Acrobat Tracker can't find the PDF ... and reviewers can no longer  access the PDF.
    How can I get Tracker to find the PDF in the new domain Y?

    No, this is not possible. You need to initiate the review again. This is because the review server information is embedded inside the PDF and when you change the review server, the JavaScript embedded in PDF still refers to the old server. So Tracker is unable to locate the review PDF.
    If the old review has comments by other reviewers, you can save it as an archive and initiate review on new server on this new PDF. This way all the review comments can be retained in the PDF but they will be published "on behalf of" the initiator now.
    Hope that helps.

  • I'm running iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. My collection of 25,000  photos on iPhoto library is completely empty. How can I get them back?

    I'm running iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. My collection of 25,000  photos on iPhoto library is completely empty. How can I get them back?
    I dragged one photo to the My Pictures folder in Finder. I knew it was just one photo because it was the only one highlighted in yellow. When I saw it in Finder, it was labled iPhoto. I thought it was the wrong picture, so in Finder I deleted the file. When I got back to iPhoto, EVERYTHING was missing. Events, photos, recent, and even trash. At this point, I went into my Trash. I searched for iPhoto and iPhoto was there. I opened it and it was still empty. All I want to do is to get my collection of photos back!

    Best solution is to load your backup from before you did this?
    Where did you drag the photo from?
    Have you tried dragging it from the trash to the desktop?  What size is it?
    What size is your iPhoto library in the pictures folder?

  • Have got a Windows Vista basic and had run a a trial version of LR4 on it - just purchased an LR5 without checking out the complete system requirements. Can I get a complete download of LR4 so that the money I've spent is not wasted. I am not interested i

    Have got a Windows Vista basic and had run a a trial version of LR4 on it - just purchased an LR5 without checking out the complete system requirements. Can I get a complete download of LR4 so that the money I've spent is not wasted. I am not interested in upgrading to Windows 7 currently.

    There are still retail packs of LR 4 to be found out there - for example, on EBay. It's just important to be careful whether it's a full version, an upgrade, or a student + teacher version. And to be certain it's genuine, and has a serial number which has never been activated before. The serial number that you get with that, should work with any 4.x version of LR, on either MacOS or Windows. And it will almost certainly be heavily discounted compared with the previous price direct from Adobe.
    Of course the other way is to upgrade to Windows 7 SP1, which should also be available discounted, and thus eke out the life of an older PC (I personally would not go to Win8 in such a case). Maybe pick up some RAM also, if that's a problem, provided you can do so cheaply (since that will be simply thrown away in due course, when you get a newer PC),
    Using LR4 instead of LR5 you do miss out on a few nice features, as well as potentially the Raw support and lens profiles for more recent camera equipment.
    LR 4 is obsolete as far as Adobe is concerned. They will not sell a Serial Number for it.

  • HT204406 on ios 6.0 iphone4: Now the device was lost to download individual tracks selectively and completely lost the ability to delete individual tracks and albums from the device. its so BAD (((

    Now the device was lost to download individual tracks selectively and completely lost the ability to delete individual tracks and albums from the device.
    its so BAD (((

    It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
    Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this.

  • HT1386 i bought a music album and can not get it up on my new I phone 4s?

    I just bought a music album downloaded into my i phone.  Then that iphone crashed so got another one the same day.  I can not get up the album that I paid for on my music site?  What must I do to get it back.  I have i Cloud and got most of my pictures uploaded but not my one album ( I only had one). 
    Please assist.. Thank you,  Marci

    Go to iTunes on your iPhone, and click "Purchased" on the bottom toward the right.  You should find the album in both "All" and "Not on This iPhone".  You should be able to re-download it.  If it's in iCloud, you will see the cloud from which to download; otherwise, you should see a download button.
    If you do not see it, then inspect your account on iTunes on your computer.  Go to your account there, and there is a place that lists your purchases.

  • Can't get tracks in correct order in playlist

    I imported a 9 disc compilation into iTunes. In the individual playlist for each disc, I clicked "track" to organize the tracks in correct numerical order. When I created a Smart Playlist for all 9 discs, the tracks are out of order for each album. How can I get the tracks in the correct order for each album?

    OK — you hadn't mentioned shuffle in this thread, so it was worth checking.
    It sounds to me like there's a problem with the data in some of your fields. One thing to try is re-entering all the data at once, to be sure everything is identical and any old data is flushed out. Assuming you want them all to have the same album title, select all nine discs and fill out the Album, Album Artist, and the "of" field in "Disc X of Y". Then select each disc individually and fill out the rest of the disc number field, and the "of" part of the track number field. Finally, check all the track numbers to make sure they're set.
    If you've done all of that and you're sorting on an Album column, and they're still not sorting properly, I don't know what to tell you.

  • How can I get a photo album together in Dreamweaver?

    I was just wondering if anyone would be able to tell me how I can get a photo album set up and running on my web pages? 
    I have Dreamweaver CS3 on my MAC
    Thank you in advance.

    Dreamweaver CS3 has a Create Web Photo Gallery feature on the Commands menu. However, it produces horrible code, and doesn't look very pretty either. What's more, it relies on Fireworks also being installed on the same computer.
    If you have Photoshop CS3 as well, you can use its web photo gallery feature. See http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/10.0/help.html?content=WSC5BFBCAB-EEF0-4e2d-995E -0EE0409A9327.html.
    Dreamweaver CS4 comes bundled with Bridge CS4, which creates a really good looking photo gallery. I have published a tutorial on how to incorporate a Bridge CS4 gallery into a Dreamweaver site at http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/gallery/embed1.php. I'm currently updating the tutorial to make it easier, using an idea supplied by Petar Subotic.
