Every time I download a CD it goes into the wrong file on PC

I have just decided after many many months to update my iPod. I have had huge problems trying to locate the the music files and found most of them in a Compilations folder. I so don't want that - so I have had to copy them all over and then go back and delete from Compilations then back into itunes to locate the new path. Finally sorted it but I still have the problem when downloading a CD - it automatically sets up a Compilations folder - how do I stop that? What I would like is for the folder to be either the name of the CD or the name of the Artist. I have searched the settings as best I can but can't find anything to help with this. Some double CD's go 1 disc into the CD name and the other No. 2 disc into Compilations. Very annoying. Once I have this sorted I would like to do a new complete back up - any help with that too would be good - will be backing up to memory stick. Any help much appreciated. Carol

*I would like to to change it so that nothing defaults back to a Compilation folder*
The CDs you are importing appear to be tagged as compilations, there's no setting in iTunes that is causing them to default. All you can do is check the CDs before you import them to make sure that if they are not actually compilations you change the information. If they are compilations then obviously it would make sense to leave them be.
You might want to set the compilations option for the iTunes Browser so you can easily locate and play tracks from compilation CDs. Open iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>general and check the option "Group compilations when browsing". If you turn on Browsing from View>Show Browser or from the browser "eye" icon in the bottom right of your iTunes window Compilations will appear at the top of the Artist list. Click on Compilations and the compilation albums will will appear in the album pane.
*I have also just done a straight forward copy of the iTunes folder over to a memory stick - is that ok for a back up?*
Yes, if you are keeping all your music files etc. in the iTunes Music Folder then copying the entire iTunes folder will capture it and the library files. Copying the whole folder and it's contents will give you a complete copy of the iTunes files at that point in time.

Only one track is downloaded per album on itunes on my iphone 5. Every time I download a new track it deletes the previously downloaded track on that album. Why is this happening and how can I switch it off?

Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Sometimes it's necessary to uninstall then reinstall that plugin.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Now launch Safari and try a video.
If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
You may also need to delete the cache associated with Safari .
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.

Every time i download anything, it is saved as a binary file. how do i change this setting?

every time i download anything, it is saved as a binary file. how do i change this setting?

Here is a simple fix I found that worked for me.
1) Clear your download history
2) Go to Options > Options > General Tab: Change your download location to something other than what you currently have it set at. Apply the changes.
3) Go back into the Options and change it back to what it was or whatever you want it to be.
You should be all set from there.

You must have a separate Apple ID registered in the other store along with a valid bank-issued charge card in the other country, and a legal billing address in the other country.
Sorry... But... You cannot use other countries itunes stores.

I just bought 2 mini ipads for daughers plus my ipad we use same apple id and now every time i download an app in one of the mini ipad it will download in my ipad 2 and in the other mini ipad what can i do to stop this?.

Help me i just bouth 2 mini ipads and now everythig my daugher download in one mini is downloading in the other and in my ipad 2 we have the same apple id for the 3 ipads

Do two things:
1. In Settings > iTunes & App Stores, turn off automatic downloads for Apps.
2. Assuming you sync using iTunes, turn off the automatic app syncing on the App tab when you have the iPads connected that should not receive the downloads.

Every time i import a cd,it goes into a "compilations" folder.How do i fix?

Every song or cd i import had the box checked that says "Part of a compilation".
How and where do i go to uncheck this so it doesn't keep happening?
I messed up somewhere.
Please save me a trip to the apple store,as they are way to busy!!!
Thank's in advance

Click on the first track of your album, hold down the shift key and click on the last (this will highlight everything in between). Right click anywhere in the selection and choose Get Info, when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items say yes. Change "Compilation" down in the left hand corner to No. and then click OK. You can do this on the album tracks you've already got in iTunes or you can do it with the tracks of the CD before you import it.

HT203163 Every time I try to load an CD into the library it just creates more repeat tracks to tracks 01 - 1? and when I click on the track to get the name or album artwork iTunes tells me to log into the store and I do but it doesn't seem to go anywhere

Anyone have an idea as to why when I try to Import one of my CDs tiTunes just makes a track out of each song and doesnt name the track or the album. This creates a problem when I want to load all of my albums/CDs into iTunes to transfer to my iPod Nano.

When a CD shows up in iTunes (before importing), iTunes should ask Gracenote for information about the album and fill all that in for you. It sounds as though that's not happening.
Check Edit/Preferences/General>when you import a CD: and make sure there is a tick-in-the-box named Automatically retrieve track names from the internet. If that is already selected, then you need to check that your iTunes can connect to the internet when you insert the CD into the drive.
You do not need to sign into the Store for this to happen. To get the artwork for your CDs, just search for the album online and copy-and-paste the picture into the album once it's in your iTunes Library.

Hi Lawrence. I'll go through the process. I click on SMTP under outgoing mail server. My primary server, smpt.aol.com is on. The next screen says server, which is on, then underneath that is the outgoing mail server. Everything under that heading is greyed out, which includes the host name, my user name, password (which says optional), user ssl (which is on), authentication, then server port 587. I need to change my password where it says optional, but it is all greyed out and won't allow me to do so. Thanks very much for your help!

On the device that you don't want the apps to be downloaded on, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads. Once you turn that off, your problem will be fixed.

Every time i download a compilation cd or a rap cd where there is multiple rappers on any given song the entire cd gets split into individual files.Is there a way to put it into one singular file like all the other cds?

Every time i download compilation cds each song saves sepertaly because each song is by a diferant artist. Is there a way to save it under 1 file like all the other cds?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
