Downloading CD going to wrong Album

I have been downloading/Importing my CD's onto my computer, and for some reason a couple of the CD's are putting the songs in an album that already exists. For example I was importing Queen album and it was going into the Dan Seals album. Tried it again and then it went into a mix album. I have imported alot of CD's, however I am having this issue with a few of them.
What is wrong? or How can I get them to import to their own album with this issue?

Actually I know exactlty what bae77345 is referring to, because I am running into the same problem. Thus my search in the forums.
Usually Ive had no problem in importing a song into iTunes, and changing the song IN iTunes to read as follows.
Name of Song: DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`
Artist: Anime
Album : Eureka seveN OST 1
Album artist: FLOW
And the Windown path would look like this
C:\Documents and Settings\Varxtis\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Anime\Eureka seveN OST 1\1-01 DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`.mp3
Notice It goes Artist>Album>Song Title
Album Artist would not even be part of the path, which is exactly what I want.
but now it shows
C:\Documents and Settings\Varxtis\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\FLOW\Eureka seveN OST 1\1-01 DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`.mp3
Which goes AlbumArtist>Album>Song Title. it doesn't even include the artist as part of the path. How annoying.
It makes a HUGE difference to me because I need everything in "iTunes Music" library in windows to be pathed as Artist>Album: Song Title. I use a different MP3 Player so, it's almost impossible to have half one way (those that have albumartist) and half another (those that don't) BTW, Sorry apple. . .no Offense. I've had and loved an iPod. . . but it died and I got this as a gift.
I never changed any settings, and quite honestly it's been about a month since I had to update my MP3 player music (thus noticing the problem). So, there HAS to be a reason for it to change. And more importantly, a way to change it back.

Wrong Album Art 4 Certin Albums

When going thur the iPod on my iPhone I c a few albums with different album art(both thur coverflow & albums). But this does not happen on my laptop.Does anybody else have this problem? If anybody can help or give me an idea as to why this happens that would be a great help. Thanks a mill!

I was having the same trouble with album artwork being displayed on the wrong albums or not showing up at all even though it is correct and in place in iTunes. What i did to solve it, although a bit of a hassle, was to delete all of my music from my iPhone and sync it all back in groups of 60-90 songs at a time after the 1.1.3 update and now everything looks and works great. Hope this helps...

A single album cover is going on multiple albums at random.

This problem has been going on for quite a while on and off, and ready to delete that album. I downloaded Volbeat Beyond Heaven/Above **** and it keeps going to different albums. Linkin Park Hunting Party, Reel Big Fish Turn off the radio and Soundgarden Badmotorfinger just to name a few TODAY. I've tried deleting the Volbeat Album cover and syncing my iPod to reset the Album covers, I've tried deleting The non-Volbeat albums covers to rest them. and it hasn't worked. I should mention that they had the right album covers for about a half hour (not including Soundgarden). Another thing I forgot to mention is that when turn my iPod to the side, the album covers are correct, like they are on my laptop. Just my iPod doesn't have the correct cover.

iTunes cannot handle multiple references for one song file.

Photos randomly showing up in the wrong albums

Why, all of a sudden, when I sync my Ipad 2 to my computer, are some of the photos in my albums randomly going into the wrong albums? They are correct on the computer... but when on the IPad some of the photos from one album will be in the wrong album. How can I correct this?

Hasn't anyone experienced odd things happen with overflow leaders?

When i go play a song on my iphone it shows the wrong album cover.... How to fix?, when i go play a song on my iphone it shows the wrong album cover.... How to fix?

A couple songs on my iPhone 4s show the wrong album cover but they play the wrong song. When i go to albums it shows the right cover but when i pick the song it will show a diffrent cover. Its like some of my song covers are switched. How do i fix this?

There are 2 things you can do, the first (and by far the easiest) is to delete all of the music off of your iPhone and then put it back on. Also you might want to check that everything is in the correct place on the iTunes library. If you downloaded any music from iTunes without using a cd and it is not in your iTunes library you can go to the iTunes Store and on the right side under "Quick Links" and select purchased. It will let you download anything you have ever purchased in iTunes.
The 2nd option is to backup your iPhone and save ALL of your apps to iTunes on your computer. Restore the iPhone and set up as a new iPhone, Don't worry all of your contacts will be in the cloud if you have it enabled. Once you set it up you can re-download all of your lost apps for free. Make sure your iTunes music is all in order and then sync the music back up.
I hope this helps!

Tracks in 'Music' are all on wrong albums

Whilst trying to import jpegs for album artwork something's happened to the Music file and many of the tracks are now attributed to the wrong albums.
The playlists I made are unaffected but the mix-up is so bad I'm going to have to wipe it all. It's as though some of the albums have been put through a giant liquidiser and then reassembled in randon fashion. For instance 101 running songs now appear on an album of C15th choral music etc etc. (It's not the view mode that's doing this.)
I'm assuming it's some type of corruption, either in the files or the tracks themselves.
Any tips on how to sort it - I don't really want to have to wipe itunes and start again.

Thanks for your reply.
Here's a screenshot. If you can read it you'll see it's album by artist view, except that it isn't.
Rautavaara, album name, has a variety of tracks on it that shouldn't be there, all from other albums. If I go to 'Modern Classical', the playlist I created, Rautavvara is there as it should be, with its 3 tracks on it.
All the albums that are mixed up like this, with completely the wrong tracks on them, are ones on which I attempted unsucessfully to paste album artwork, JPEG format, from google images.
Do you think this might have corrupted the iTunes files or actually the music itself?

IPod displaying wrong album artwork; connectivity issues

I have an iPod Classic 80GB, model #A1238. It's a little over 2 years old. I use it on a PC with Windows Vista. And I am currently using the latest version of iTunes.
My iPod is pretty much at full capacity (music only!)-- if I want to add something, I have to delete something else. Lately, a lot of the new music I add displays the wrong album artwork in my iPod (even though everything's correct in iTunes). Usually, the recently added songs/files displays the artwork of another recently added album... but now, my recently added albums are displaying artwork for other, "older" and random albums in my iPod library! It's driving me crazy since my iPod is so neatly organized!
I have a feeling it has something to do with syncing? For the past year or so, I have had issues connecting my iPod to my computer. From time to time I get one of those "this device can perform faster" messages. That sometimes leads to other error messages about not being able to eject my iPod b/c the "device is in use," or I get an excessively long period of syncing or "verifying" my iPod. When those things happen & I'm stuck in a certain process, I typically try manually ejecting the iPod... and when that doesn't work, I restart my iPod.
In fact, I've been restarting my iPod a lot these days. I try to restart it every time I'm about to plug it into my computer to remove/add new music (I figure it might not have issues with wrong album art if it gets kind of a "fresh start!"... and that only works some of the time).
So what do you think the problem is with the album artwork?!? It seems so trivial, but it really drives me crazy-- I really love looking at the artwork, as silly as that may sound! I've heard that I might have to restore my iPod back to factory settings, but I'm REALLY hesitant to do that-- I have about 16,000 songs on my iPod & to get them back, I'd have to re-import my many, many CDs! It will probably take days! I'm also afraid I might start having the same old issues if I start getting those error messages about the device performing faster (I feel like all my little complications arose from those issues).
Some things to keep in mind: If it's not clear already, I manually manage my iPod's music library-- I don't sync entire libraries or playlists or anything. And most of my album artwork is downloaded automatically when I import CDs or purchase music from iTunes. Once in a while I manually add the album artwork (like, I find the album art from the Internet, copy it, right click my song files on iTunes, select "get info" & manually paste the image in the artwork box). That sometimes helps, but those files can still sometimes display incorrectly in my iPod, ditto song files purchased from iTunes (though more often than not, I don't have issues with those files' artwork).
Lastly, is it bad for me to be repeatedly restarting my iPod?
Any help would be much appreciated!! (And be forewarned: I am NOT too tech-savvy!)

The only way to get things resolved will be to restore your iPod. Since, as you imply, you've been manually managing your iPod and not keeping copies of your media on your local hard drive, you will need to recover the content from your iPod before you restore. There are plenty of threads here detailing just how to do that. If you haven't got the space then you will need to start, I guess, by buying an external drive big enough to hold all your media in one go.
Your iPod shouldn't need resetting on a regular basis. For myself I found that when I had a large number of playlists on the iPod (basically everything in my library at the time) it was more likely to freeze when playing games or even moving around the menus so I cut down the number and complexity of those I put on the device which seemed to fix things.

I can't download the new, free U2 album into itunes. HELP!

I keep trying to download the new, free U2 album: "Songs of Innocence" into my Itunes but it keeps saying:
"Your album is already in your library, waiting for you to download". BUT...I can't find it anywhere in my Itunes library!
What do I do??
HELP!!!!!
=(

How exactly are you trying to download it ?
You should be able to download it by going to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage and selecting Music on that screen.
Or you can tick the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) - it should then show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against it for downloading (when downloading its digital booklet via this way I get a 'corrupt file' message when trying to open it).

What do you do when iTunes provides the wrong album art?

What do you do when iTunes downloads the wrong album art? I haven't found an easy way to override this or notify the iTunes store about it.
I have gone in and deleted, and re-updated the artwork. I have also gone song by song and looked to see if more than one piece of artwork is associated. Neither fix this.
Specific current example is the Amon Tobin album "Chaos Theory". The artwork was correct on this until just recently. Currently the artwork downloaded is for the Chaos Theory Remix album (for both the original album, and the remix album).
Who controls this? The content publisher (e.g.-Ninja tunes)?
Thanks

Go into the track ot tracks en block and get info. Go to the artwork tab and delete the downloaded artwork. Google to find alternative artwork and then add it to the track(s).

Wrong album covers can't be deleted

Hi
I have stubborn wrong album covers that can't be changed or deleted in my itunes library / covers view. The Info-> Artwork view is ok! They only show up in the covers flow..
Fixes tried:
delete artwork. replace artwork, add artwork, move song to desktop - delete in itunes - reimport (nope)
The same album cover shows for several different songs/artists, I think it's just one - that was grabbed by itunes "get album covers" (and can you imagine how annoying it is to see "robbie williams escapology" for a bunch of alternative music songs..)
Ideas?

Thanks Rob,
I had similar problem, where the Cover Flow artwork was not even close to the artwork. I went into iTunes info, as suggested,and unclicked the box "Part of a Compilation". So, far I've had to go in to each incorrect song separately. It was frustrating me, until that great suggestion. I would track down the CD artwork I wanted; it would show up correctly in the Now Playing window (lower left) in iTunes, but the Cover Flow was way off...the crazy thing was I couldn't find the incorrect artwork in the iTunes artwork window...it would be blank; even when I dragged the correct artwork into that window, it would NOT override it, UNTIL I discovered The Secret! Again, UNCHECK the box labeled Part of a Compilation. I tried grouping 2 or more incorrectly labeled songs, but that didn't seem to work. So far, it looks like you can do it, but it's ONE at a Time. Thanks for the suggestion. If anyone found a quicker way, do tell...I've got thousands of tunes to pour through.

Downloads with Safari show wrong date

Hi, this is my first post and I'm stumped.
When I download a file (i.e. PDF) via Safari on either my Imac or Macbook (4.03 and 4.02) both running Leopard 10.5.7 it shows up in my downloads folder with the wrong date: wrong year, month, and day.
When I download the same file with Firefox the download date is correct.
Does anyone have any suggestions to remedy this annoying problem? Thanks.

Ok. I just downloaded a PDF via Safari that shows the creation date as: 23/12/08 1:10 AM.
Same file downloaded via Firefox shows date correctly: today at 9:16 PM.
The date from Safari has been all over the map... 03, 07, 00 etc. all different.

Photos in wrong albums

I use windows 7 to create folders in "My Pictures" and use these folders as albums. When I sync my phone through iTunes i tick every folder which syncs them to the phone creating a number of albums.
When I go into photos on the phone all the albums are present with the correct photos in their respective albums.
However after a few days I'll notice that the photos become jumbled up in wrong albums. I have read on this forum that this is due to the photo cache being corrupted in the "My Pictures" folder in windows. I don't think this is the case because the photos sync no problem but become jumbled up of their own accord on the phone.
I have deleted the cache a number of times on separate occasions but this hasn't fixed the issue. Any help would be appreciated. This has happened on my iPhone 6 and also 5, running on all versions including and thereafter ios7.

The first thing to try is a reset of your phone. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the buttons and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

Text messages going to wrong people

I am new to this forum and I think I posted under the wrong forum for my problem. Please follow the link to my post. I really would appreciate some help.

I have been experiencing this issue for the last few weeks and it is extremely annoying. I've called Verizon 7 times and have gotten nothing but the run around. What's even more annoying is hearing them say there will be a software coming out to correct the problem but they don't know when. I'm very disappointed in Verizon. I've been with them for many years. They were my first and only carrier. I will definitely not be taking this lying down. I'm going to get a resolution, and if that means leaving Verizon, then so be it. And if anyone from Verizon is reading this, PLEASE DO NOT offer up another apology. I don't want another apology, I want this issue to be corrected, NOW!!

Downloads keep going into trash

Despite having set the correct download folder within my safari settings but all downloads are going straight to my trash - how can I fix this?

HI,
You can try reinstalling Safari from your Snow Leopard disk.
Insert the Snow Leopard install disk. Open the Optional Installs folder, then open Optional Installs.mpkg
An Installer will start... click Continue. When you get to the Installation Type in the window on the right you will see: Applications. Click the Disclosure triangle so it faces down. Select Safari then click Continue. When you are finished with the installation, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

i cant download apps throgh wifi on my iphone however when i connect to cellular data it starts downloading. then what is wrong over wifi , i tried reset network setting but i didnt help

Definitely sounds like an issue with your Wi-Fi network. Do any other devices on the network have similar issues? Is it an issue only with downloading apps? You can check by trying to load a website in Safari.
I would try turning your Wi-Fi router off for 1 minute, and back on again.
After doing that, disconnect and re-join the Wi-Fi network on your iPhone and try downloading an app again.
