How do I keep albums separate?

I have an auto with a 12 GB hard drive as part of the music package. I am trying to download from a USB stick into the drive. I pull the songs from iTunes to the USB drive, then plug the drive into the car and download. It downloads, but the album separation is lost. All the albums get dumped into one album. Is there someway to do this that preserves the album separation? I have an early 2009 iMac with 10.8.4 and the latest iTunes.
Thank you
Carl

Diane's method is the way I do it for the few duplicate album names I have. You could also be more subtle if you wanted and add empty spaces at the end of the different album titles.
Anthology
Anthology<blank space>
Anthology<blank space><blank space>
That way you would effectively only see "Anthology" as the album name but itunes would seem them as different albums.
I haven't tried this but it is also possible that if you set an album artist (even if a bogus name) for each album that that might cause them to group together album by album.

I have a .mac family account, a personal .mac account and separate iTunes id I use for my work iPhone and the associated apps. How do I keep them separate in the iCloud change?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Could you tell us a little more about what you want to do. Bear in mind that iTunes has nothing to do with your iCloud account.

I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

I have a new Iphone 5, my wife has a 4S and an iPod Touch. When I sync my new 5 to the Mac, it pick up ALL of the stupid game apps that my wife uses on her two devices. How can I keep them separate?

go to itunes preferences, store, uncheck automatic downloads. also when your phone is connected you can click on apps and only check the ones you want on your phone, go down to the bottom right and click apply.

Use separate iCloud accounts, with separate IDs. (Note: you can continue to share the same ID for the iTunes and App stores; it does not have to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.) One phone can keep the current account. On the other two, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from these phones, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account on these phones using separate Apple IDs and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new accounts.
If you have merged data in your accounts at this point, you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting the other phone's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

How to Keep Albums Separate

When I have albums that appear the same (same title, artist, etc.) but one is low-res (MP3 or CD) and one is high-res, they both get imported as the same album with the tracks intermixed. How do I keep the albums separate?
I'm using iTunes 12.0.1.26. The get-info doesn't seem to let me edit the album title when I select the multiple tracks for one album (that was suggested in some of the threads, but doesn't seem to work for me).

In iTunes each album is a set of tracks with the same Album title and the same Album Artist or Artist. If you want to separate them you need to give them different titles. Sort on bit rate so the tracks of one version are grouped away from the other then select and change one or both album titles, e.g. Album becomes Album [HQ] for your high quality versions.
You should be able to edit the album title for multiple tracks in Get Info as long as the tracks are not marked as read-only.

I don't want my contacts to sync my iphone contacts on my daughter's phone. How do I keep them separate?

I have an iphone 5. My daughter and husband still have a 4. We all have separate contact lists and would like to keep it that way. How do I do this? I just updated my daughter's phone and now she has everyone's contacts.

Sign into your iCloud account on icloud.com and check your contacts. If they are there, go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts on to download them to your iPhone. Then, if you don't want to sync contacts with iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off and choose Keep on My iPhone.

One apple ID on my and child's iPad. How do I keep apps separate?

Is there a way I can sync my apps purchased from my iPad and iPhone with each other without getting the apps from my child's iPad mixed in as well?

forgot to mention to also UNCHECK the "Automatically sync new apps" box in that same apps window at the bottom of the screen. that way you can keep them seperated and cutsom. it might also help to go into iTunes Prefs> Devices> and select Prevent ipods,..... from syncing automatically.

How Do I Keep 2 separate counters in sync.

I plan on using the new PCIe-6351 X Series hardware which incorporates 4 counters. The current code example enclosed works fine. My problem is, I need to measure position using the linear encoder task and get my instantaneous velocity (v= d/t) using the period task inside a correlated time reference. With the current code, each timed loop is out of sync so my position/period measurements are not synchronous. Is there a way to configure DaqMx to run these counters in a single synchronous timed loop? If so, how is such a configuration arranged?
I am able to get the velocity using just the data from the linear encoder task, but this requires an additional software routine and my measurement accuracy suffers. It would be advantageous to incorporate an instantaneous velocity reading using the period task.
If a new example configuration of DaqMx could be provided, that would be great.
Thanks Much For The Help,
Darryl
Software Engineer
v = velocity
d = distance
t = time in seconds

Hey
Try sharing the sample clock between two counter task or you can set then to start at the same start trigger.
Hope this helps.

How do i keep album art from syncing onto my ipod?

I really dont care about album art and the extra space would be nice. Is this possible? I have the 10.3.1.55 version if that helps.

To delete tracks from an iOS device, swipe from right to left over the song an tap on delete. When using iTunes Match your song will still be available in the Cloud. Good luck!

we have a MacbookPro 2.53GHz C2D. we are running the latest version of itunes, iphone OS, and mac os 10.5.7.
when i synced her phone with itunes i signed into her itunes account. and when i synced mine i signed into my itunes account.
however, there is one user account on the MBP. i was told by the guys at apple store i didn't need to do this because all i really needed to do was to have 2 different itunes ID's/accounts.

HT201320 How can i keep my email accounts separate on my ipad like they were b4 latest update?

I just installed ios7 now all my incoming email comes in together- how can i keep them separate- i have 2 email accounts?

Edit : your reply applied whilst I was typing this
This is what I see (I've removed my account names) :
And after tapping the Edit button :
If you aren't getting that then you could try closing the Mail app via the multitasking bar - press the home button to go back to the iPad's homescreen ; double-click the home button to the multitasking list ; swipe or drag the Mail app from there up and off the top of the screen ; click the home button to close the bar. Then see what shows in the Mail app

How can I keep my albums in iPhoto arranged in the order of my preference - alphabetically? Once arranged, iPhoto periodically rearranges them.

How can I keep Albums in iPhoto in the order in which I arrange them? iPhoto periodically rearranges them in seemingly random order.

Have iPhoto '11. Several times I have arrangged the Albums in alphabetical order. Perhaps "periodically rearrange" isn't the correct terminology, but if not the next time I open iPhoto then the 2nd or 3rd or 4th or..., the albums are in a different order, non-alphabetical. This was not a problem in the last iPhoto version.
Don't understand your question of "what goes on..."

HT1711 When I load one of my own CD's onto itunes, it creates separate albums for each unique pairing (ie: singer/composer or singer/orchestra). How can I keep all the cuts together on one album?

When I load one of my own cd's onto itunes, it creates separate albums for each unique pairing (ie: singer/composer or singer/orchestra). I end up with
the cuts scattered over several albums. How do I keep all the cuts on an album together rather than divided between several albums? I'm brand new with this technology, so I need your information in simple terms. Thank-you.

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.
The site could do with updating as some options have changed with iTunes 11, but the principles are the same.

How to export an album and keep images in the same order in elements 11 mac

I made an album of my trip to Australia (lots of pictures) and changed the order of the images (not the same as shooting order) and when I export the images in the album to a folder or memorystick, the images are copied to that place but I lost the album order of the images.
How can I prevent that, without having to renumber al 500 images separatly?
Gr Jos

Thanks for the tip, Michel
It worked like a charm…
cheers Jos

The order in album is only kept in the organizer database, so the only way not to lose that order is to rename files.
If you are using the 'export' function, select your album in custom order, select all photos and in the dialog, choose to rename with a common base name.
