How do I sort so that all the songs for a particular album show up under only one album? Example: Eminem 'Encore' has multiple artists on the entire track list.

Example: Eminem 'Encore' has multiple artists on the entire track list. Several songs will just list Eminem as the artist, but a lot will have Eminem, FEATURING...so and so. Each song that has "FEATURING" shows up as a different album, so if you are not paying attention, and pull all the songs from a particular album over to your ipod, for example, and you don't see that not all the songs are there, you won't get them all to transfer.
Is there anyway to correct this?

Each tune gets a file name - that is how iTunes works. iTunes is a data base manager.
In a PlayList a reference is created that will link to a specific tune.
You can take the tunes that you do not want listed under a particular album name and change the album name using 'Get Info' for that tune(s) from the iTunes window.

2 users on the same computer. Full iTunes shows up on only one

There are 2 users on this computer. Only the iTune downloads appear on one. How can I get the full iTunes library on the other?

Hey there IamSwings,
It sounds like you would like to share your iTunes library between 2 different users on the same computer. I found this article for you that should help you accomplish that named:
iTunes: How to share music between different user accounts on a single computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203
If you're using Windows, follow these steps:
Quit iTunes.
Locate your iTunes Media folder. (This folder may be named iTunes Music if you created your iTunes library in iTunes 9 or earlier). By default, it's in these locations:
Windows XP and Windows 2000: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
Note: The Windows version of iTunes doesn't copy all the music you add to your iTunes library to your iTunes Media folder. To copy the Music in your library to your iTunes Media Folder (if you have enough hard drive space), choose Consolidate Library from File > Library > Organize.
Drag the iTunes Media folder to a public location. You can use one of these public folders:
Windows XP and Windows 2000: \Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\Public\Public Music
Important: Don't move the iTunes folder, the iTunes library file, or the iTunes library.xml file.
Open iTunes.
Choose Edit > Preferences.
Click Advanced.
Click the Change button.
In the Change Music Folder Location dialog, navigate to your iTunes Media folder.
Click OK.
Repeat these steps for each user that you want to share music with. If multiple users on your computer are storing music in the same public folder, duplicate song files may appear if a user imports music from a CD that another user already imported.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

How to display Album Name / Artwork if only one album is in Ipod

I have a 160GB Ipod, and after transferring the favorite CD's from my collection the thing is now full. Because there's so much on the thing I have many Artists on my Ipod with only one of their albums.
Anyway, if you only have ONE album from a given artist when you click on that artist's name under the "artists" category it will not display the album name to click on (and thus not display the artwork,) it just goes right into displaying the tracks from that artist's album. If you have two albums this problem obviously doesn't exist and it displays both album names for you to click on.
Is there any way for me to have it display the album name and album picture under an artist's name if I only have one of their albums? For example, if I had only Axis Bold as Love by Hendrix and no other album I want to be able to click on his name under artists, see "Axis Bold As Love" and subsequently its album art to lcik on RATHER than clicking on his name and seeing the track listing right away for Axis Bold As Love (that's how it is now.)
I don't like to use CoverFlow, I prefer to scroll by Artist name.
Thanks.

And?
Click on a song to play the album. Why do you want to click on the album cover?

I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive. It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly. How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM. (BTW - design flaw)

Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive. It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly. How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM. (BTW - design flaw here.)
Older Macs with a single Harddrive would simply expand OS management on the drive, and I think I understand the new Fusion Drive to do just that, but how do I get this product that I spent a great deal of money on to be more than a pretty screen?

I was confused by this statement
It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.
OS X manages ram and when you run out, it create swapfiles to extend your ram on the HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The OS itself, takes about 16 gig of space and that too resides on the HDD. Your 16 gig of RAM is really a temporary space that holds things from the HDD so the processor can work on them. There is no design flaw between your ram and HDD. Something else is going on and there are a lot of smart people here to help you figure out what that "something else" is.
I would do three things. First I would create a backup, backups are important. Second, I would reboot into recovery and repair my HDD. Lastly while still booted in recovery I would repair permissions.
Can you capture a screen shot of the exact error you are getting?

Happens all the time and you are probably correct about cause.
Some CD manufacturers use various forms of copy protection on discs designed to interfere with computers reading the discs. I have found iTunes to be very picky about this too. I have had several discs iTunes would not acknowledge but could rip with another program. Other times the fix is as simple as cleaning the disc ro turning on error correction for the ripping process.

The pdf file that i am converting has multiple pages but the conversion only exports the 1st page into excel. How do i get the product to include all pages on multiple sheets?

Hi,
The pdf file that I am converting has multiple pages but the conversion only exports the 1st page into excel. How do i get the product to include all pages on multiple sheets?

Hi christinek,
Can you please tell me how the PDF that you're converting was created? Sometimes, PDF files created by third-party PDF generators (that is non-Adobe applications), don't contain all the tags and file information necessary to ensure a proper conversion to Excel. There are no settings that you can change in ExportPDF to adjust how the file is imported.
You can tell how the PDF was created by choosing File > Properties in Reader and looking for the PDF Producer on the Description tab. If the PDF was created by a third-party, it just may not be written to spec. Please see Support Policy for PDF Files created by non Adobe applications.
Best,
Sara

copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from the old computer to the exact same location on the new machine.
your iDevice will just continue to sync with the same old library as if nothing happend.

Are you looking for iPodService.exe?
Might be better to run services.msc from the run dialog and shut down the service polietly.

A new album purchase downloaded each song as an individual album, each with its own album cover. How do I consolidate all songs under just one album cover like the rest of my library? How did this happen?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
BTW, are you really still using Windows 2000?

Before you begin the import, edit the properties of the tracks to set the Album Artist to Various Artists and Part of a Compilation to Yes.

How to find out all the OKCODEs for a particular screen?

I am working on t-code CL20N and trying to record with t-code SHDB, in the second screen when I press enter it is coming out, but when I run CL20N without SHDB it is going through all the screens perfectly, SHDB is not working for CL20N.
Is there any other way to find out all the OKCODEs for a particular screen/s?

Hi,
First look for any push button or menu item which can take you to the second screen instead of hitting enter directly in tcode CL20N . If any such button exist in the TCode, u can use the same button in SHDB also for moving to the second screen.
Thanks,

Some of the songs I have downloaded onto i tunes won't play when I select it to do so. The error message I get is "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" How can I get my songs to play?

Some of the songs I have downloaded into i tunes won't play when I select it to do so. The error message I get is "The song can not be used because the original file can not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I select yes I'm sent to a screen that has my i tunes library listed. When I select the song in question I'm asked if I would like to open the song. When I select this option I get nothing. The songs I have downloaded must be somewhere because they are listed in my i tunes library and on the screen I've been sent to. I can't the songs to play however. This is not true of all of my songs but it is true of quite a few of them. Actually, one song is too many. How do I get my music to play that seems to be locked up somewhere in the computer?

Presuming they're on your computer, right click on them and then follow the prompts to locate hte file on your computer.

How do I sort so that all the songs for a particular album show up under only one album? Example: Eminem 'Encore' has multiple artists on the entire track list.
