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.

  • 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.

  • When I open Firefox, my computer goes into safe mode. How do I fix this problem?

    When I open Firefox to do some browsing, my computer goes into safe mode. When I close Firefox browser, then it goes back to normal. I know there has to be a simple fix, but I have not found it.

    Check that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode or with a reduced screen resolution.
    You can check that in the "Compatibility" tab in the Properties via the right-click context menu of the Firefox desktop shortcut.<br />
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.

  • I need to make a stop start animation using iMovie. I need the time factor to be 0.03. Every time I make an adjustment it goes to 0.1s which is too slow. Does anyone have a suggestions?

    I need to make a stop start animation using iMovie. I need the time factor to be 0.03. Every time I make an adjustment it goes to 0.1s which is too slow. Does anyone have a suggestions?

    First, for Stop Motion Animation, there are better tools. These include iStopMotion and QuickTIme Pro Version 7.
    If you want to do it in iMovie, it is possible, but slow.
    First, go into iMovie Preferences, and make sure you check "Display Time as hh:mm:ss:frames". This will let you edit to the frame lever rather than to the nearest 10th of a second.
    Second, see this Tutorial by Jon Walker on how to edit down to a single frame in a still image sequence.
    You can modify his technique to get 2 or three frames.

    If you had iOS 7 BETA installed, just go to developer.apple.com and log in using your developer account.  There are discussions about this issue.  Otherwise...  for non-developers, I'm afraid you're on your on.  Use Google.

  • TS1398 My new iPad keeps forgetting my Internet password every time it is switched off or goes on flight mode

    My new iPad keeps forgetting my Internet password every time it is switched off or goes on flight mode. Have tried resetting the network setting as it suggest on the support page. The Internet  works fine with my windows PC and my son's iPad 2. Any advice?

    Have you tried powering off and then back on your router?
    Does it only happen with your router? If so that would tend to indicate a router problem.

  • Since updating iTunes and Mavericks, every time I import m4v files into iTunes it renames all the files to "Avidemux". what's gone wrong?

    Since updating iTunes and Mavericks, every time I import m4v files into iTunes it re-names all the files to "Avidemux". what's gone wrong?

    (By the way, would I need to use also the red and white phono cables also to get sound?)
    Yes, S-video cables do not carry sound.
    When you import 16:9 into DV Widescreen, make sure that you have UNchecked 'automatic letterboxing'.
    In Preferences, is the project set to the correct standard?
    29.95 fps = NTSC
    25 fps = PAL.
    BTW, this is actually the iMovie 5 forum, but no matter!

  • How come every time I bring in a new image into Adobe Ideas as a background it's a different size?

    I created a multilayered stencil in Photoshop and each layer was exported as a TIFF.  Then I uploaded those TIFFs to Adobe Creative Cloud.  My idea was to trace each of the TIFFs using Adobe Ideas, which seems to work except, every time I bring in new TIFF as the background photo to trace, it's a different size.'
    How come every time I bring in a new image into Adobe Ideas as a background it's a different size?

    When importing images through the Photo layer in the layers panel, the image that comes in has a size that is dependent on the current zoom level of the document. This may explain why you are seeing different sizes. You can select the hand tool and double-tap on your sketch to return the zoom level to 100%. If you do this before importing your photo, then your photos should all be imported at the same size.
    Hope that helps,

  • How do I keep my background from changing every time I log out an than back into my sign in?

    My account is the head account for our iMac. I just added a sign-on for my brother an ever since adding him it never fails. Every time I log out and than back into my account my background goes to that ugly space swirly background as opposed to the pic of my daughter. I've never had this probably prior to adding that new account. And prior to this my husband has his own sign in and we also have a guest account. So, I don't know why this would be changing my background every time! Really frustrating! Thanks for your help!

    If you log in automatically, a known bug will cause the desktop picture to revert to the default image at every startup. The only workaround is to disable automatic login in the Users & Groups preference pane.
    Linc, I have seven user accounts on my machine and they all experience the same issue. What I have noticed is that if an account is the only one logged in the selected picture is retained. If any other account is logged in the next user to login sees the default desktop picture. Automatic login is not enabled. This leads me to believe the bug is not limited to automatic logins. It will be intersting to see what happens when 10.9.1 hits the street.
    There also seem to be several other threads reporting this behavior.

  • Time Machine stops due to computer going into Sleep/Hibernation Mode

    Time Machine stops due to computer going into Sleep/Hibernation Mode then restarts to try to start the Back up process again and again vicious cycle. I have made sure all settings are turned off. I have done one or two backups since the initial first backup. My HDD is almost full and I want it backed up before I try to clone/mirror the drive to upgrade it to a 1TB HDD. Thank you in advance. 

    Set the Energy Saver (in System Preferences) to Never. Then reset the NVRAM, as follows:
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
    Release the keys.
