How do i make a compilation in itunes without ruining the original record files

i am trying to make a compilation in itunes as a christmas present...  i was hoping to create a whole new "album".  but every time i try it either 1. puts the songs in alphabetical order 2. changes the original album file.  Is there a program out there i can use to create a digital compilation?  I have a hankering to make a mixed tape - but somehow do it in the digital age.
please help!

Gah,
The best way to do that is to make a copy of each song.  Leave the tags in the originals alone, but in the mixtape copies change the Album name (something like "Gah's Christmas MIxtape") and the Album Artist ("Compiled by Gah").

  • How do I edit pictures on an iPhone5 without loosing the original?

    1. My original picture is GONE! I had one picture of six of my aunts all together.  I wanted to crop each of their faces out of the original picture and save each as a separate file to  associate with their contact information.  This was "as easy as pie" on my android phone, but with the iphone, once I clicked on "edit", cropped out the first subject and saved it, The original picture was gone -- or at least somewhere that I don't know where it went to!!!  On my previous phone (android htc rezound) each edit of any picture was saved without erasing the original picture. HELP!
    2.  When choosing a picture to go with a contact, sometimes I can't get the part of the picture I want in the circle.  I can get it big enough, but when I let go it sometimes goes back to a size that is too small!    Can someone help me tell me how to do this, or help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

    The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The ony exception is itunes purchases.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How can I make an imported image smaller without changing the size of the canvas?

    After downloading some free icons, I used the drag and drop method to bring the icon of my choosing onto a blank canvas that is 313x188 pixels. The image is larger than I need it to be, so I need to make the image smaller while keeping the canvas size at 313x188 pixels. I've tried several things after googling it, but have not had any luck. Help; I'm still learning! Thanks in advance!

    ctrl/cmd-T will bring up transform. Then just drag the handles to size it - hold the shift key to constrain the aspect ratio.

    When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
    You must wait the 90 days.

    At this point you have the option of keeping a device optimized version (lower resolution version) of your photo on your phone while iCloud stores a full resolution version.  Or keeping the full resolution version on both your phone and the iCloud. If you delete the photo on your phone it will be deleted on the iCloud. I know, bummer. Also it should be noted that the photos app and the library are still in beta and to this point i see why.  I would use dropbox or a smiliar app for off device storage.
    So far this is how it has been working/not working for me.  Whether or not I choose to keep originals or optimized on my phone it will only keep the originals and it has only been uploading lower resolution versions of my photos to the iCloud library.  Seems to be working in reverse.
    Again these are still in beta so i am hopeful that this will be fixed in the near future.
    I hope this helps.

  • My iPad has to be really really close to the router for it to have internet. How can I make it so I can go around the house with it?

    My iPad has to be really really close to the router for it to have internet. How can I make it so I can go around the house with it? My iPad has been like this for a couple of months, and it has really irritated me. My friend came over and he had to download iTunes for something on the computer. He needed my iPad, he tried it and it wasn't really near the router.

    I'd begin by reviewing the following:

    How do I find out if my iTunes password is the same as my iCloud password?

    Hello jenny86753092008,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! Your iTunes and iCloud passwords will always be the same unless you have multiple accounts with us. To check to see if you have multiple accounts, you can use this handy Apple ID tool:
    Apple - My Apple ID
    https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
    You can also contact us for assistance to see if you have multiple Apple ID accounts:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487
    Make sure that you’re entering the correct Apple ID. In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. If these steps didn't help you change your password, contact Apple Support.
    Cheers,

  • My wife and I share a computer for our itunes accounts. How can we copy our music libraries to each others accounts without erasing the original library? We want to merge our songs.

    My wife and I share a computer for our itunes accounts. How can we copy our music libraries to each others accounts without erasing the original library? We want to merge our songs.

    If the music is on the same computer, import the songs to your iTunes library by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows).  If the music is on different computers you can set up Home Sharing to copy the music from one library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620).

    Load the library which doesn't contain the songs and drag them into the open iTunes application window. If you need to move them between different computer user accounts, put them into /Users/Shared/.
