How do I add a whole album to my ipod?

All I want to do is move newly downloaded albums from my library to my ipod but it only seems to work if I do it one song at a time! I click on the album, then on 'add to', then on my ipod (I used to be able to add music drectly to my ipod buyt it now seems to be forcing me to choose a playlist), fine I click a playlist and then nothing. No loading or transfer icon nothing. It just removes the menu. I check back to my ipod and the album isn't there.
If I do the exct same process with an individual song from the album, it works. Surely I don't have to do this for every song?
I've just upgraded to itunes 11. I can't believe how bad it is. I can't seem to do anything I used to be able to do. I'm so angry that they have taken away or obscured my most used functionality from the old itunes.
Please can anyone help? Am I missing something?

You can use the shift key to select all of the songs on the album and then drag and drop them onto your iPod. Rerfer to this thread for instructions on how to view the side bar.

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing existing songs

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing her existing song list.

For future reference, since I came here for the same reason, I'd like to add to the solution. The link was not complete in explaining how to, but then again I'll just trying to attempt to fill in the gap.
After opening iTunes, on the upper left hand side is a small icon with an arrow pointing down. Click on the arrow and a menu pops out. Click on "Show Menu Bar." On the new bar(Older iTunes File, Edit, View, Controls, etc. bar at the top). Click on View and then Show Side Bar. There you can just click and drag new songs into your iDevice without any problems... hopefully...
Seriously, this helped me, so if Apple finds a way to not allow me to do this simple task of adding purchased songs into my idevices from another computer, I'll have to resort to other means.
The one idevice that's having trouble with is my iShuffle(2nd).

How can I convert Itunes video albums tracks to ipod tracks

How can I convert Itunes video albums tracks to ipod tracks?

3pg is an odd format... That or I just never seen it before. :P
iTunes just ***** at converting videos. So far all videos I tried converting with iTunes have resulted in the same error you got.
You're better-off using 3rd party apps, and then copying to iTunes, and then copying to the iPod.
Unfortunately I don't know of any conversion programs for Windows.
If you by chance have a mac, this program works great: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/flv2itunes.html
The mac version of Handbrake below works great, hopefully the Windows version does, too:

When converting with handbrake, make sure to use the iPod preset for the out-put video.
Hope this helps a little.

HT1473 How can I add a whole music folder to my iTunes v11

Hi,
I just reformat my laptop (OS: Windows 7 pro) and I lost all the songs, albums, and playlist listed on iTunes. I do have all the songs backed up in my external hard drive, now my problem is how can I add songs back to the iTunes by folder? Before in the previous versions of iTunes, it used to have a option to "add folder to library" or something like that. Now there is no option like that, and all I can see now is "add file to library". If I use this method, it will take up so much time to do it.
help please
thank you!

The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
The two entries in red will give you access to File > Add folder to library.

How to make library play whole album in order

Does anyone know how i can get my itunes library to play a whole album? I just want to sit here and listen to an album in my library I click on one song and once its played it randomly jumps somewhere else in the library this is so annoying it never used to do this.

Check the bottom left of the screen. If the little symbol with the two arrows crossing paths is blue, click it. That is the shuffle icon, your library must be set to shuffle.

When sending an email I used to be able to add a distribution list from my contacts, I now have to add each email address individually, does anyone know how I can add the whole list?

When sending an email I used to be able to click on a distribution list in my contacts and it would add all the email addresses, I now have to add each email address individually and this takes a lot of time. Could someone tell me how I can add a distibution list/group to my emails?

Barney,
I have four groups.
I just typed the name of one of those groups in the To field on the iPhone's email, and received:
Invalid Address
"<group name>" does not appear to be a valid email address. Do you want to send it anyway?
I clicked continue and it remains in my outbox.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

How do I add a new playlist to my ipod using iTunes 11?

I recently was prompted to upgrad to iTunes 11, and while my immediate reaction is to hate it, I know I am just not used to it. My problem is that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add a new playlist onto my ipod. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry, for the late response..
When I click on the iPod, it would open a page where my only option was to "sync everything". And "Playlist" wasn't an option along the tabs at the top.
But I was able to open the sidebar, like the previous version of itunes and now am able to just drag and drop.
Thank you! I am much less frustrated now

I can't find how to download a pre-ordered album on my ipod after the album has been released.

I pre-ordered an album on my ipod a few weeks and it just came out today. When I got to the store and clicked on the album it says purchased. I can't find how to download the album on my ipod.

Hi there,
You may find the article below helpful.
iTunes Store: About Pre-orders

When a pre-order item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know your pre-order is available for download.
