How do I put these songs back into their full albums on ITunes?

Individual songs from albums that are being imported from CDs are being listed as albums on my ITunes list. One album imported creates 10 to 15 album covers with only one song with each album.

Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist" or check the "compilation" flag.

for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.

Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.

For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

HT204406 Some of my songs didn't transfer to my cloud. How do I put these songs on my iphone so that I can listen to them in addition to the songs that made it to my cloud?

Some of my songs didn't transfer to my cloud. How do I put these songs on my iphone so that I can listen to them in addition to the songs that made it to my cloud?
Right now, I can't transfer songs from my laptop to my iPhone unless I turn off iTunes Match 1st. Once the songs are on there, I turn iTunes Match back on, but then the songs that I just transferred over dissapear...
Please help!

I'm having the same problem, some of my songs will transfer but not all of them. It seems there are alot of people having this problem and apparently Apple doesn't know how to fix it. All my songs were purchased through itunes so they all should upload to any apple device. Sorry I'm not any help, maybe Apple can finally do something about it.

I downloaded the new version of iTunes and now over 100 songs have an exclamation mark beside them and won't play. The message says: "The song ... could not be used because the original file could not be found." How do I get these songs back?

How do I put recovery files back into ASM?

I'm trying to recover a database for testing. I have all the backup files in a directory. I've restored the controlfile.
When I run the restore, the error is:
RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 10/21/2009 19:24:52
RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 4 found to restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 3 found to restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 2 found to restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 1 found to restore
I'm guessing that I either need to tell rman where to find the files or put the files back into the ASM +FLASHBACK.
So 1) How do I tell rman that the files are now in a directory
or 2) How do I put the files back into ASM?
Thanks - JR

I restored the control file with the rman "RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM 'filenamegoeshere'; It was the control file backup from the corresponding DB backup.
I couldn't use the RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP because it was expecting the backup files to be in the ASM +FLASHBACK.
The catalog lists all the files that I have, but it thinks they are in ASM.
Thanks - JR

HT1725 I have a few songs that will only play for about a min the it will stop playing how can i get the songs back to a full song

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

TS1474 When I downloaded the new itunes to my new computer not all the songs transfered from my account. Most of the songs were on for over a year. How do I get these songs back?

We don"t use itunes very often, but when we do there alwys seems to be a new version to down load. We just get used to the old one.

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How do I put the songs back after format?

I had to format my hard drive. I backed all the music up to CD's. Now I want to put them back. I see in the My Music folder there is an Itunes folder and when I open that there is a Itunes Music folder and Library folder. I'm not sure what folder to copy the songs to so I can have them back in my Library on Itunes. My CD has a lot of yellow folders and inside each folder is either one or two songs. Please help. Thank you

I backed up the music from the Hard Drive. The songs are in yellow folders with the artist name as the folder name on the CD. Then if I double click on the yellow folder I see the file (song). I would like to put the folders back (but I forgot where they were in My Music) and then import them back into ITunes. Actually I did move them back to a folder inside of the ITunes folder in My Music to a folder called ITunes Music. When I try to click File, Import Folder nothing happens.

How can i put my songs back on my laptop?

my laptop got a virus, so i had to restore everything, and everything got deleted (folders, photos, programs, itunes, everything) and now i have my iphone with all my songs in it and i dont know how to put them all back in my new itunes. Please Help

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Ise your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone: File>Transfer Purchases

How do I put these songs and videos onto the Music App?

How do I load mp3 content, videos, and other content from applications onto the music app? For example, I have applications such as Video Hunter Pro that downloads youtube videos, but how do I put the videos or audio track into my Music app? I don't want to constantly switch apps. For iTunes on all devices.

Only items directly downloaded from iTunes Store or synced over from iTunes on a computer can be placed in the music or video app.

HT1589 problems with itunes after updating..can't locate some of my songs..some have an exclamation point beside them how do i get these songs back in my itunes

I'm having problems with itunes after updating. I've lost all my playlists,,finally played around with it and got the songs back but some have an exclamation point beside them and can't be located. they are songs i've purchased. I'm not very computer literate so this is a major problem. I have spent hours with this. I just want all my songs to play even though I'm not happy that I have to recreate my playlists. It would be so much easier if I knew and understood how to correct this. Has anyone else had this problem and if so..is there an easy way to correct it?

Not sure how this is an ipod touch question.
Perhaps you should post in the itunes forum.

How do i put my songs back? unplugged from usb and erased my ipod

I charged my ipod on my work pc (my itunes library is on my home pc) and i unplugged the usb, which of course erased all of my music on my ipod. No big deal I thought, so I took it home and plugged it in but my ipod would not upload the songs in my itunes library. My question is, how do I get all my songs back on my ipod? do I need to "reset" my ipod in order to upload all of my songs from itunes library to ipod again? How do I properly disconnect my ipod from my work pc when I am done charging (it does not give me that icon that you are supposed to click on before you remove the usb) thank you!!

You can select the option "manually manage music and videos" on itunes, and then select the musics that you want, drag and drop over your Ipod figure on itunes.
I hope that solves your issue.
Regards

Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.
