How do I separate songs into individual songs from an album?

I have two albums that I would like to separate the songs into individual songs. When I click get info and remove the name of the album it puts it into an individual album. I don't want it to be an individual album just an individual song.

Hey thomasf6325,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you have recently purchased a new computer and wish to transfer your iTunes library to it. If you still have access to your previous computer (or hard drive), follow the steps in this article to transfer your library:

Thanks,

  • How to retrieve deleted songs from itunes albums list

    hi,
    In my itunes library I've got several albums. Since a long time (me or someone else arround me) have deleted randomly some tracks from some albums. So these songs are no more available in iTunes list (xml file) nor in the hard disk. All the scripts I've found on the net cannot help me to get ths list of removed tracks.
    My question is : "Is there a script or software able to retreive the list of missing song in each album I've in my iTunes application (macintosh) ? I think that thi magic script should perhaps query the CDDB database or someting like that.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Unless you have a copy of a .xml file with the play lists contents before deleteing - your are outta luck.
    Even if you have a .xml file the actual files - from your discription - have been deleted from the HD - hence you will need to add those tunes back into iTunes - then add those tunes back into the PL.

  • How do I import songs from ipad album app into itunes?

    Hello,
    I bought an 5 song ep music app by the Chinese musician Cao Fang (曹方) from iTunes app store, and I want to be able to hear the songs in iTunes, not just through using the iPad app. It doesn't show up in the File Sharing section. So is it possible to import the songs?  Can I at least 'play' the app on my computer in iTunes, or is it only playable on the iPad itself?
    Thanks!

    Hi Nick,
    I should work just as you imported songs into your iPod. Try opening your iPod in your ITunes. Once you can see your iPod songs just drag them to your library folder or what ever other folder you want them in.
    Since your computer crashed are you using another computer? does it have iTunes and iPod software installed? What OS does it run (windows/Mac)?
    Good Luck

  • How do I keep songs from an album together when importing?

    When I import music from a cd, often it is broken into pieces if there is a collaboration on that song. For example, Santana's Shaman album is almost all collaborations with various artists so it is imported as a huge number of separate albums.
    How can I prevent this from happening when immporting cd's and how do I put them all together again?

    That's what the "Album Artist" field is for.  The track artist can have all kinds of variations (especially with Santana!), but the Album artist should be "Santana" for all of the tracks and that will keep the album together.  If the Album Artist field is left blank, you will get the behavior you have described.
    I usually answer "no" when iTunes prompts me to import the CD when it auto-detects one... then I edit the Album Artist (which is almost never automatically filled out), then I import the CD.
    You can edit all of the CD tracks simultaneously by selecting all of the track, right clicking and selecting Get Info.  You can also add artwork at that point if you have specific artwork you want iTunes to use... I usually get mine from AlbumArtExchange.com. 
    If you don't edit the info before importing the CD tracks, you can sort by "date added" after importation to get all of the tracks you've already imported grouped together and edit the Album Artist field there.
    You can see below that "Guitar Heaven" stays completely intact in all views even though there are many track artist variations.

  • HT1473 how do i group songs from one album

    Sometimes when dowloading a cd to Itunes instead of showing up as one album with all the songs it places the songs that have the artist featuring in another album by itself. how do i tell itunes these are all apart of the same album?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in appropriate Album and Album Artist fields. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers and, if necessary, the two following sections.

  • I have three websites in one file. How do I separate them into three individual files?

    I have three websites in one file (Domain.Sites2). How do I separate them into three individual files without taking the site down or loosing files?

    Duplicate the domain file 3 times (keeping the orignal as a backup).  Name each domain file for the website you want it to contain.  Then open each domain file and delete the two sites you don't want it it. 
    Since you're running Mt. Lion you'll need to read the following in order to be able to open the different domain files.
    In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application. 
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • How do you choose songs from your ipod instead of from the car dashboard while your ipod is plugged into your car?

    How do you choose songs from your ipod instead of from the car dashboard while your ipod is plugged into your car?

    It depends on your car stereo. On the JVC we have you can select either "Head Mode" or "iPod Mode" when you're plugged into the USB port. Ipod Mode lets you select the songs from the iPod although the radio still controls the volume. I believe the Alpine I have does the same thing.

  • I have 2 ipods on same account( 2 different kids in household) how can I separate them into 2 different accounts?se

    I have 2 ipods on same account( 2 different kids in household) how can I separate them into 2 different accounts?

    There are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Just to summarise what's in the link above:
    Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries.
    Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. If you've had no success with this you can have a look through the guide on this page: Loading songs onto iPod automatically
    Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
    You can read about Windows user accounts here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

  • How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program or laptop?

    How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program/computer? The songs in question are originals composed by my boyfriend in Garage Band. We have full rights to them, but they import into iTunes like all the other artists songs. His hard drive crashed and I have the only copies. I have no access to my iMac for 2 months while we tour our show and we need them on the tour. We are in dire straights if we can not access these songs and the iPad will not hook up to our equipment. Plus we need to add a track to a promotional video. So how can we access our own music?
    Thanks.

    If they are in the iPad's Music app then the only way to get them out of it is by connecting the iPad to a computer. As they aren't iTunes purchases you won't be able to copy them back to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, instead you will need a third-party program on the computer to copy them off - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • How can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone

    how can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone?
    The newest version of itunes seems to be a little more difficult to do this than past versions. I plug in my iphone to my computer and it does not allow me to "drag" songs into my iphone option anymore. Help!
    The songs I am trying to get on my iphone are from CDs that I have purchased outside of the itunes store. Can I not put those on my iphone anymore?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Select the phone in the device list in iTunes, navigate to the music tab, check the music you want iTunes to sync with your phone, click the apply/sync button.

    How do I transfer songs from my daughters itunes library onto my ipod?  We both have itunes libraries on a single computer running Windows Vista

    Your question has probaby been answered already because it was posted a month ago but anyways what you do is you plug your phone into your computer. Next you want to open iTunes and click on File. Then you go down to "Transfer Purchases from *your name* iPhone". Then just wait for it to sync and you should be good.

  • How can I transfer songs from two different itunes?

    I want to transfer songs from my brother's itunes library to my shuffle, but when I plug it in his computer, a message saying that his library is not linked to my library (or something to that extent) and whether I would like to replace the songs. If I click yes, all my existing songs are replaced with HIS songs. If I click on NO, the Shuffle icon does not appear at all and I cannot transfer any of his songs to my shuffle. How can I transfer songs from two different computers into my shuffle without replacing any of my existing music?

    You'll have to setup your iPod to manual instead of automatic update (I'm not sure, though, if it works with the Shuffle as well).

  • How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album togeth

    How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view?  Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod.  How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod?  If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

    I used to have this problem.
    First, you need to go back on iTunes
    you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
    Click the album so all the songs drop down
    Right click the songs that have this problem
    Click ' Get info '
    Click the tab that says " info '
    The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
    Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
    as such,
    ARTIST
    JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
    ALBUM ARTIST
    JAY-Z
    These should be separate for each artist
    If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

  • How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes

    How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes??

    Within Windows' folder options, select the option to view all hidden and system files. Then access your iPod through My Computer. Go into the transulcent iPod "ipod_control" folder. There's a folder in there called 'Music'. All your songs are in the several folders within this folder.
    Sadly they're all renamed by iTunes, but all artist, album and song name information is retained within the files. You can simple copy the files from this folder onto your hard drive and add them into iTunes as normal.
