How do i make a compilation using separate albums from separate artists

Hi,
I just got a CD that my friend made me with 17 different songs, each from a separate artist. What i would like to do is put the album name and artist on each song, but group them together as a compilation/ album with the same artwork (my friends own custom art). Is that possible?
I've tried putting the same album artist, but that still leaves me with 17 albums. Marking them as a compilation does nothing, and I've also deleted the individual albums and renamed them the same thing, so they are in one album with the same name, but id rather have each album name with the songs.
A backup would be to make each song have the custom artwork and just put them in a playlist, but is there any way to put them together as an album instead?
Thank you in advance!

The only way that iTunes can recognize tracks as being part of one album is for the value of the Album element to be the same for all tracks, coupled with with a common Artist value, common Album Artist value, or the Album is a compilation ... flag being set for all tracks. Your choices are then:
leave the tracks as-is, i.e., each having its original Album value, and group them by putting them into a playlist, or
copy the original Album values in to another field (Grouping might be suitable), then set the Album value to be the same for all tracks, and either set the Album Artist to a common value (e.g., "Various Artists") or set the Album is a compilation ... flag for all tracks.
The second option would group the tracks as one album while retaining the information about the original source of each song.

How do you make PP CS5 use more allocated physical memory???

As you know, you can go to Preferences > Memory and change the amount of RAM reserved for other applications.
Now, I have 8 GB of RAM installed (Windows 7), and I have set my “RAM reserved for other applications” option to 1.5 GB. That leaves 6.5 GB of memory for Adobe AE, Pr, Encore and Media Encoder.
Here’s the problem: every time when I’m rendering or exporting in Premiere, I can see through Task Manager that Premiere uses only 1.5 or 2.0 GB of the physical memory, not the 6.5 GB that I’ve allocated. I know the rest is reserved for other applications, but none of them are running at the moment. So, how can I make PP CS5 use more of all the physical memory that’s left?

Memory management in CS5 is clever enough to use an amount of memory that minimizes the use of the page file and maximizes buffers, However that depends on the material in the project, the effects and transitions used, the export format and the hardware in use.
There is no sense in using large amounts of memory, when other components cause waiting before the contents of memory can be offloaded. Just as it makes no sense to use a Ferrari in traffic jams.

How do I make a purchase using my Itunes account?

How do I make a purchase using my Itunes account?
Help any body.

What happens when you click on the price button, what prompts/messages appear ? If you have a balance on your account then that will automatically be used for the purchase, you can't specify how items are charged.
If when clicking on the price button you are being prompted to review and log into the account then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Suppor…
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
If that is what is happening then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you review your account without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
If not then try entering your card's details, it shouldn't be charged (apart from a temporary store holding charge which your card issuer should remove within a few days or so), and you should be able to remove the card after entering it.

Developing a 2 page form, username on the 1st page, password on 2nd how can i force FF to use the username from previous page when it asks to remember acct info?

I am developing a 2 page signup form, where the person enters their username on the 1st page and password on the 2nd.
When I test the form, FF asks to remember my password for the site - however it thinks the zipcode (field above the password) is the username on the account.
I have tried to put their username/email in a hidden field on the 2nd page, just above the password field - and that did not work.
How can i force FF to use the username from previous page when it asks to remember acct info?

This website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save names and passwords and other form data.

I purchased three albums last week and only two of them were charged. How can I make sure that the third album gets charged in a timely fashion?

I purchased three albums last week and only two of them were charged. How can I make sure that the third album gets charged in a timely fashion?

Well, thanks for feeling with me, patkosanke ... AND for your wise advice.
I did followed your advice immediately and erased all the service number as well as S/Ns.
Can you, however, give me any "direct number" through which I can get hold of someone and request for what you're suggesting?
I believe I had talked with the person by the name of "Charlie" (I think... I hope I'm correct...) when I was having the same problem with the last device. He was very kind and helpful, though I ended up getting the device that brought the same problem.
Charlie told me that if I had any more problems I should call him. But I forgot to take down his direct number.
Or maybe I should call the main office and ask for him. But my memory is questionable as to his name, and besides I don't even know his last name either. There could be more than one "Charlies" in Palm.
So, if you could somehow email me some direct number (other than the one that keeps on hooking me up with those people in the overseas who are answering the phone only to sympathize with & apologize to me but can only issue a false hope with the SRO#. More than once I was given the promise that the supervisor would call me back within an hour or two but I ended up calling back after I had been left hanging in the air all night long.) where I can talk to someone like I did with Charlie last time who can truly carry out the promise, I would truly appreciate it, patkosanke. ^^
Thanks

How can I get itunes to play one album from start to finish, especially when there are different artists on it?

How can I get itunes just to play albums from beginning to end? Often if an artist has a guest artist, or there are 'various artists' on the album, it stores them all separately, so listening from beginning to end becomes not one click away, but a multitude of clicks away just to make a play list which returns the album to its original state. Why can't Apple do this as a default?

If your music is sorted by "Albums", even a compilation is a single click.
'various artists' on the album, it stores them all separately,
That happens when you sort your music by "Artist".

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 i can make a backup without separate hdd?

How i can make a backup without seperate hdd?

how i can partition the hd? please step by step...
today it's my first apple-day ... i was 18 years windows user
While I agree with everyone else, get a second disk and backup to that disk, I will point you in the directory of partitioning.
Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
Disk Utility may or may not be able to carve a new partition out of your existing partition, depending on whether the end of the current partition is unused so the current partition can be reduced in size and a new partition added.
It may be necessary to use an external disk, clone your internal disk using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner (both free to use when creating a full clone), then partition your internal disk, and finally restore the external clone to the internal disk again using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you do not want to get a 2nd disk, then consider using an on-line service such as CrashPlan, Carbonite, Mozy, etc... for the files you absolutely cannot aford to loose.

HOW DO I MAKE IMAGES DYNAMIC USING DREAMWEAVER & MySql

Hi there,
I wanted to make images dynamic in that the images would be stored in my database and then use dreamweaver to pull the images from the database using a recordset. But how do I get to store the images in MySql now that dreamweaver doesn't support BLOB and also how do I make dreamweaver pull the images from that database? PLZ somebody help

To pull the image from Database on to your page
1. Open your php page
2. put your cursor where you want the image to show on the page
3. insert>image>Select File Name From: Data Sources>select record from recordset> click ok
4. View in browser
In Mysyl the image was stored as a "longblob" type with "binary" attributes
but my system is Dreamweaver CS3.
Hope this helps. Let me know.
