How can i combine/merge albums in my itunes?

for example... I had at one time downloaded the cast album of South Pacific... but it basically went into my itunes as like 19 albums (all titled the exact same thing) each with one song from the show... but i have alot of cases just like this. How can I get all 19 songs to go into one South Pacific album?

Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

    If you bought it from the iTunes Store, click here and follow the instructions; the process of iTunes Store content being put in the iCloud is automatic.
    If you got it from another source, reload it from that source.

  • How can I see an album length in iTunes store?

    I'm always interested to see album length when buying new albums. How can I see that in iTunes store? Of course you can see it after you purchase it in your collection, but I want to see the length before I purchase. How, except by manually trying to add it in my head while reading the screen?

    You can change the sort name of your album, but leave the actual name as it is:
    In the info panel for the album change the sort album name of your album "A" to an alphabetical order, so it will be sorted in front of album "B".

  • How can I combine my albums?

    I have a good amount of albums that are by one artist, but many songs have guest artists and iTunes separates those songs into a seperate album. Is there any way to prevent this without having to change the songs with the guest artists to just have the one?
    For example, I have the Random Access Memories album by Daft Punk. Most of those songs include songs with artists doing vocals, and iTunes separates those songs to a seperate album even though the ablum is the same name.
    I also have another album that is split even though the artist and album is the same and I already did the "get info and change everything on all of the tracks at once" solution and it's still split.

    Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things. For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

  • How can I move an album around in iTunes?

    Say my albums are a set (like part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4) and currently displaying as follows:
    Album B, Album C, Album D, Album A.
    And I want to move Album A to be in front of Album B. I can't just click and drag like I can in iBooks, because it won't let me. So is there any way to move them around just so it looks neater? Or would it be easier just to change the name of them to a generalized 'Completed Series' and then have them as separate disks so that it look as follows? :
    Complete Series
    Disc 1
    Disc 2
    Disc 3
    Disc 4

    You can change the sort name of your album, but leave the actual name as it is:
    In the info panel for the album change the sort album name of your album "A" to an alphabetical order, so it will be sorted in front of album "B".

  • I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

    I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location.  They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

    In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
    If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

  • A music album is listed multiple times in my library but each listing only has a few songs in it-not the full listing.  How can I combine them into one album and get rid of other duplicate listings?

    Several music albums listed in my IPhone 5 music library are listed multiple times, but each one only has a portion of the songs listed.  How can I combine them to make one album?

    First....Thank you so much for your prompt reply.  I am sorry for not getting back to you regarding your suggestion-I had computer issues that just got resolved.  Also, this is my first foray into online chat rooms so I have a lot to learn to precisely state my issue!  I did as you suggested and all the songs list the same album when I go into each song's "get info".  However, I am not sure how to edit as you suggested. When I downloaded this album originally, for some reason it broke up into several albums each with different songs from the original album.  I am trying to consolidate them back into one album in my library.  I would greatly appreciate further assistance if you can.  Also, I do not use "the cloud" to store any data and would like a good source of info on how to do this.  Thanks so much for your patience!

    How can I combine different pdf files in one?

    Hi Flávia,
    Adobe PDF Pack is an online subscription--it definitely allows you to combine several files into one PDF file. For more information about PDF Pack, see Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack. If you don't have the full version of Acrobat, this is a great solution for combining PDF files.
    However, if you're using Acrobat (not Adobe Reader), you combine files by following these steps:
    Open a PDF file that you want to add pages to.
    Click the Pages pane on the Tools panel (on the right side of the application).
    Click Insert From File, and choose the file that you want to combine with the PDF that you opened in step 1.
    Make any changes necessary in the Insert Pages dialog box--these settings determine where the new file will be inserted.
    Click OK.
    Please let me know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

    Hello Halfback71,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5622
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    Best of luck,
