Help needed when uploading albums to iTunes

Hi (I may have just put this same post on the wrong forum):
I often upload my CD's into iTunes, but sometimes all the songs don't appear together on the same album. Its always the song by the artist, featuring another artist, eg. "Foxy Brown featuring Method Man" - these songs appear on iTunes seperate from the album, which they should be in.
How can I get these tracks to appear in the correct albums? Can I do it after they are in itunes or do I need to delete the album and upload it again, but differently?
Thanks in advance.

Concentrate on one album at a time.
Find and highlight the song with the guest artist.
Then select File/Get Info/Info and cut the featured artist from the album's artist box and paste it into the song's title box after the song title. So now, it reads as "<song title> feat. <guest artist>". (Don't forget to cut the space after the artist name and before the featured artist name.)
Repeat this for each song with a guest artist.
Now, each song on the album should be left with only the main artist in the artist box. Then the album will group as one album.
Alternatively, for an even quicker method;
Highlight the complete album
File/Get Info/Info>Artist and type in the one artist that you want for that album.
You will of course, end up without a note of the guest artist on any of those songs.

  • Help needed with consolidating and moving itunes folder.

    I have imported songs into itunes using with the Copy Files To iTunes Folder When Adding To The Library box unchecked and moved the location of my music folder to an external hard drive. I already had a folder full of music files on this hard drive so I now have 2 folders with music files, the iTunes folder with music recently imported from cd's and the old folder. The library points to references to both of these folders but not ALL of the files in the old folder as I don't need them in iTunes.
    I now want to be able to listen to my iTunes library when not connected to the external drive. How do I do this? If I reset the location of my iTunes folder back to the macbook do I then need to consolidate, and if I do will only the files with reference pointers go into this folder? I don't want all the music files in the old folder to go onto the macbook, only the ones with reference pointers to them, plus the ones in the iTunes music folder.

  • Help Needed Created Standalone Network for iTunes DJ

    I use my MBP to manage backing tracks for a band. I would like to use iTunes DJ for requests from the audience via wireless connection via *iPhone/iPod Touch Remote app*. I would use this option in conjunction with a printed song list and small request cards (for those who don't have iPhones).
    I can't connect to an existing network as most venues do not have wireless. I would like to set up my MBP as a wireless base station that can be accessed via an iPhone/iPod Remote app. Besides, I would prefer to have a network that echo's the band's name.
    I know I have to use the "*Create computer-to-computer Networks*", but I am unsure of what settings I need to get the network working.
    I will use Locations to quickly activate the MBP as the base station.
    Any help or suggestion setting up my MBP as a wireless base station would be greatly appreciated.
    TIA

    Agreed. I'd keep at it yourself. I guarantee it will be something simple.
    what are the benefits of a switcher? (never used one before) any recomends?
    A switch is just like a hub, except that instead of always sending packets to your entire network, it only sends them where they need to go. The benefits grow with the size and speed of your network. Switches used to be much more expensive than hubs but not any more. Normally I'd recommend almost any Linksys device, but in this case dlink seems to have a better one:

    Again, I don't think your dlink hub is responsible for this dramatic bottleneck though.

  • Help needed when dynamically creating new stage sprites

    Morning folks,
    I'm feeling very rusty when asking this question! It feels
    like I should
    know the answer but simply unable to comprehend where I'm
    going wrong at the
    moment!!
    I'm in the process of creating a Director piece that involves
    the user
    having to drag "shapes" onto a pre-defined grid [drag and
    drop style] --
    there are currently three different types of shape that can
    be dragged of
    which many of the shapes can be of the same type. So I need
    to display the
    three shape types on one side of the screen and allow the
    user to drag and
    drop as many as they wish to the girded area.
    I've written the drag and drop routine but now having
    difficulty in
    producing the dynamic creation of a new draggable shape; so
    far I've managed
    to create a new "shape" sprite from my cast library and
    placed it in the
    correct location. Then I create and add a new instance of my
    "Drag and Drop"
    behaviour onto the newly created sprite, but this is where it
    goes wrong --
    although I can drag the dynamically created sprite, once
    dropped Director
    complains of not knowing what its local properties are, for
    example I'm
    unable to reference the locH and locV of the newly created
    sprite!
    I'm really at a loss on this one and would appreciate any
    kind of guidance!
    Many thanks in advance, Mark ;-)

    Hi Saravanan,
    >>>><b>First column - Welcome message , below Date , time and place</b>
       It is possible to add date, time and location in the welcome area. Jus add a table to the <td> of the welcome area container. Like this.

  • Help needed - half successful move of iTunes to external drive

    I have just purchased a WD external drive and have attempted to move the contents of iTunes (but not the programme) to it from my Mac's hard drive. It seems that podcasts etc have been moved, but not the music files (they all appear in iTunes, but with ! in front of some of them and when you select a track to play you get an error message that says the track can't be found.
    How can I resolve this?
    Many thanks.

    What format is the extrenal drive? How are you moving the iPhoto library?
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Help needed to upload and download

    i know the client's path of a file and i want to design a web page in jsp to upload this file into server and also download a file from server to a client m/c(the client should not specify the path) Help me please by giving the code.

    Hi,
    You cannot directly upload a file from Client machine even if you know the exact harddisk location of the file. Java does not allow this. You either need to use one of the following:
    1. Multipart Form Upload
    2. Signed Applet to upload the file.

  • Help needed with uploading a website [was: Stuck at the last hurdle...]

    Hiya, my  tutor covered all the basics at the web design course I wen on, except how to actually get the website onto the internet. I have no idea what to do from here. I've reserved a domain name at 1and1 but can't see any pointers on how to get the website up.
    On Dreamweavers 'configure server' window I don't have any idea what goes in there.
    I don't know what goes in:
    Name:
    Access type:
    FTP host:
    Host directory:
    Login
    Password
    (the three tabs underneath)
    or the URL prefix
    Please could someone guide me through what to do or point me to a tutorial?
    [Subject line edited for clarity by moderator]

    Either you have CS4 or You are in "basic" setup. I use "Advanced" because I have been doing this for a while and I do know the Advanced Steeings:
    In Local Info, you have the following:
    Site Name: mysite
    Local Root folder: /Users/username/sites/mysite
    Default images folder: /Users/username/sites/mysite/images
    Links relative to: Document
    HTTP address: http://yourdomain.com/public_html/
    Case-sensitive links: (unchecked)
    Cache: Enable cache checked.
    In Remote Info, you have the following:
    Access: FTP
    FTP Host: http://yourdomain.com/
    Host directory: /public_html/
    Login: the login given you by your hosting provider
    Password: the password given you by your hosting provider
    Use Passive FTP (sometimes checked, sometimes not -- depends on the results of the test.
    Use IPv6 transfer mode: (usually unchecked -- for now)
    Use firewall (usually unchecked)
    Use Secure FTP (SFTP) checked if possible, if not, leave unchecked based on the results of the test.
    Don't touch Server Compatibility...
    You want to check Maintain synchronization information and leave automatically upload files to server and enable file check in and check out unchecked..
    When you signed up for 1&1, they will have given you the information you need for your login, password, host directory (which is usually /public_html) and the name of the ftp host if it is different from the name of the domain you created. I would imagine this would be in an email they sent you.

  • Help needed in upload command

    Can anyone please help me in finding out the meaning of the field values of second APDU
    What I try to say is how the value " C4 82 03 81" is calculated. I am able to figure out rest of the values of the upload command.
    cm> upload -b 250 "C:\....\app\javacard\app.cap"
    => 80 E6 02 00 13 06 73 4D 41 74 ...00 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 .........
    (1769 usec)
    <= 00 90 00 ...
    Status: No Error
    => 80 E8 00 00 FA C4 82 03 81
    And if any one knows how the enc of the message takes place. Using SCP -02 i am able to generate CMAC but encryption of data not.

    The JCShell upload command includes two consecutive GlobalPlatform APDU commands: INSTALL [for load] and following multiple LOAD commands. It shall be seen as a fixed sequence. The LOAD command contains parts of the CAP file. The component order is defined in the Java Card Virtual Machine Specification, as well as the CAP structure itself. So what you see in the second command is the LOAD command, and the first component to be loaded (see JCVM 2.2.1/2).
    Encryption according to SCP02 (C_ENC + C_MAC) is specified in eg GP2.1.1, Appendix E SCP02. You will find there the algorithm.

  • Help needed in upload

    Hi,
    iam using call transaction
    call transaction 'Ztest' using i_bdcdata
    mode 'N'messages into i_bdcmsgcoll.
    when the data in the text file is correct, what would be the message in i_bdcmsgcoll
    because at the end of upload program i have to write the number of records uploaded succesfully and number of records rejected and the reason.
    i am getting the mesages types for error record ( the error messages which i get when i go to module pool and do it manually),so i list that reason,
    but for sucess record , i don't any message,but when i do it manually in the module pool and  save it, i get a message saying data saved ,but i am not getting that message in i_bdcmsgcoll for correct record.
    hope i'm clear
    thanks

    Hi,
      Usually, when a record is successfully created "Record created successfully" or a similar statement will be populated in the BDCMSGCOLL table.
    The type of such messages would 'S'. If there is an error in any of the records, then the error message will be populated with Message type 'E'.
    Follow the below procedure to populate the messages.
    LOOP AT <BDCDATA>.
    initially clear I_BDCMSGCOLL.
    call transaction 'Ztest' using i_bdcdata
    mode 'N'messages into i_bdcmsgcoll.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
    loop at I_BDCMSGCOLL.
      append lines of i_BDCMSGCOLL to I_SUCCESS
    else.
      append lines of I_BDCMSGCOLL to I_ERROR
    endif.
    ENDLOOP.
    Now the two tables contain success and error messages respectively.
    manipulate the tables as per your requirement.

  • Help! When I load up iTunes from my computer, it says iTunes has stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. It's been doing this for the past week and I don't know how to fix it. Help please?

    Help?

    This may occur if you are connected to the Internet and iTunes is trying to connect to the iTunes Store and fails for some unknown reason.
    Try this:
    Quit iTunes and disconnect completely from the Internet.
    IF you have an iPhone (iPod etc), open iTunes. Sync the device.
    Re-enable your Internet connection.
    Quit iTunes.
    Open iTunes again.
    If this does not work, try completely uninstalling iTunes, then reinstall it according to these instructions:

  • Help needed after uploading photos to my PC and being unable to rotate images and video

    HELP!!
    When I connect my iphone to my PC it imports all pics and video. Then when I go into the folder located where these images are located in my C drive and I want to rotate a photo (and video) that was taken upright on my iphone, I get a warning message stating "you cannot rotate this image. The file might be in use or open in another program or the file or folder might be read only"
    How do I edit and rotate these photos and videos so I can actually use them on my PC???
    Thank you!!!

    Yes, due to Incomplete Software Update on your iPhone your Device is now in Recovery Mode and you cannot take a Backup now. But if you have taken a backup earlier then you can Restore that backup on your iPhone after you Reset your iPhone to Factory Settings.
