How do I put all of the music by one artist into the same "folder"?

When I put music onto my iPhone 4, it often shows up that the same artist will have many different entries in the phone's version of iTunes. E.g. Bob Dylan might have six different entries, with different albums (sometimes more than one) in each. This makes it difficult to put it on shuffle or just sort of listen to one artist all day without constantly fiddling with the phone.
Is there a way to combine all of these separate headers and make them all fit in one "folder" (for lack of a better term)?

Thanks! I discovered that my disconnect was that I was doing all of that, but AFTER I had already moved the untagged files onto my phone, which was set to manually synch music. I was trying to tag them on my pc and expecting the phone to catch that. Duh, of course it won't see changes made on the pc if it's set to manual! I went in and did it on the phone and it worked fine.
Ty for the link!

    I recently updated and restored my Iphone on a Mac. My music was erased, therefore, I am trying to sync all of the music from my computer into the iPhone, but it says that I need to use the original computer/itunes in order to sync, but it is the same computer and iTunes account. The error reads: The iPhone, "Name" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and a sync with this iTunes library? If I click "Erase and Sync," will it delete my contacts, apps, etc?

  • How to turn off home sharing on iphone and put all of my music in one place?

    I have the iphone 4 with ios7.  I have Rihanna's Unapologetic cd that I ripped to itunes a while ago.  Today I synced my entire music library to my iphone.  The only way I can find the album by Rihanna is if I go to the home sharing on my iphone and choose my computer library! I'm getting really frustrated because I don't understand why I can't just have all my music in the music library and nowhere else?  Also, all of my music appears to be on the cloud which doesn't make sense to me.  Especially because I synced it all from my computer so why do I have to download to my phone again? Basically itunes is doing too much.  Oh, and every time I sync my music itunes always deletes my playlists from my phone.

    Consolidate your iTunes Library
    As for the other part of the question, iTunes syncs with Apple devices.
    Simply copy the media desired from the computer to the microSD card.  This has nothing to do with iTunes.

  • How do you update all of your podcasts at one time using the new iTunes 7?

    With the old iTunes, I could manually click "update podcasts" at the top right, and it would check all of my podcasts. How do you do that in iTunes 7 without having to click each one? I would like to manually update the podcasts at one time.

  • How do i get the music on my iphone into the cloud

    I have icloud set up.  I cannot figure out how to free up the space on my daughter's iphone4 8G by having the songs in the cloud.  plz help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iCloud is not iTunes, if you want your iTunes library available on the phone for downloading, you need to subscribe to iTunes match. ICloud is a sync service for mail, calendars, contacts etc etc.

  • On home sharing, how can i share all of my music? It only shares the purchased songs from itunes.

    I just  got a new laptop, and need to share my itunes account from my previous laptop to this one.
    Both laptops have updated Itunes accounts and are authorised and home shared.
    However, on the new one it has only transferred across my Itunes store bought songs, not any of the other 800 songs from downloads or cds that i have put on.
    How can i get these onto my laptop without using an external drive?
    Thanks.

    Unless you subscribe to itunes match, icloud has nothing to do with music.  Are you syncing music from a computer's itunes to a device?

  • I just had my pc repaired, now how do i put all my songs on my ipod back into my itunes?

    i just got my pc out of the shop and they replaced the hardrive and backed up all my stuff but he says he couldnt find my music in my itunes folder. which is odd because i have almost 30gigs of music that now is gone. when i plugged in my ipod after reinstalling itunes my purchases transferred but my 28 gigs of music that i put on their over the course of 4 years will not transfer from the ipod to my pc? can anyone help?

    To transfer non-iTunes purchased music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • I downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    i downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    hi philly, thanks for getting back to me, especially on such a busy day.
    I don't think that's quite the issue though. I bought an album and it appears in 'my purchases' within the itunes app. Yet, in order to listen to the music, i must use the 'music' app and in this application, there are only three tracks displayed at any one time from my downloaded album.
    I can 'download all' from the 'my purchases' section but that still doesn't help, it just keeps the last three tracks downloaded in the music app.
    I have the 'icloud' enabled and wondered if it had anything to do with that.
    i have successfully downloaded another full album totally into the music app, but this first album is causing me problems.

  • HT1296 How do you put all music on Ipod back onto a previously crashed computer in which the original music files were not able to be restored?

    Hi, HOW DO YOU PUT ALL MUSIC FROM IPOD BACK ONTO A PREVIOUSLY CRASHED COMPUTER IN WHIHC ALL MUSIC FILES WERE UNABLE TO BE RESTORED.
    My computer crashed a few months ago and my IT guys were not able to restore my music files.. at least I can't find them. When I log into Itunes, all of my music and play lists appear but when I click to play a song in Itunes on computer, it says the files can not be found. My Ipod obviously has all of my music but I'd like to add more (without deleting what I've got on there) and to copy back whats on my Ipod back to my computer. If I plug together and my computer sync then I will loose all music... needing detailed instructions please.

    from what i understand, the procecess is similar on both mac and pc, so i'll try help you here. have you set your preferences to "automatically update all"?
    Yes i have.
    if this isn't working, maybe try moving one that you are certain is in the correct format, manually. import it from scratch to your itunes, and then copy it to the ipod.
    If i click 'import files' the only files it comes up with are text file. Should it be doing this?' So the only files i can import are written documents :/
    If i select 'add files' it dosnt add them to my libary at all.
    I tryed what you said, i deleted my movies then loaded one into my libary which i no is in the right format but it still said that it is unable to put into my ipod.
    Thanks for trying to help by the way :]
