How do you get to the "Multiple Item Information" window so I can click "Part of a compilation:?

How do you get to the "Multiple Item Information" window so I can click "Part of a compilation"? When I transfer a CD to iTunes, and the CD has ten tracks, it loads as ten different albums. Also, once this happens, do I have to delete the album and start over or is there a way to merge the albums in iTunes? Using iTunes 10.04.08.

And you've made me remember that using the compilation flag may only work in iTunes if you go into the Songs view, then use View > Column Browser > Show Column Browser and then View > Column Browser > Group Compilations to make sure this line is ticked.
It is also best if View > Column Browser > Use Album Artists is also ticked.

How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???

How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???
Where are the instructions on how the information in the Multiple Item Information dialog box equates to ...
1. The way iTunes sorts tracks and albums
2. The reason to select a leading check box
3. Why there are Option selections (Yes /No) and leading check boxes.
4. Why some changes remain in the track info, but do not "take effect" in iTunes (Part of a compilation is an example)
Looked in Help, Support, went to the local Genius bar for an hour, even arrainged a call from apple support ...
Thanks

As Christopher says, it's a compilation. Different tracks are by different artists.
Setting the *Album Artist* field to *Various Artists* and setting *Part of a compilation* to Yes should be all that is required. Depending on your *Group compilations when browsing* setting ( I recommend On ) either should suffice but I suggest doing both.
Based on your commentary, I selected all the "O Brother" tracks, and checked the boxes for everything line that was blank in the Info and the Sort panes. Only exceptions were the album name and the disc number 1 of 1 and the artwork. I blanked and checked anything else.
That's not what I meant. When you select multiple tracks, only those values which +are already common+ to all tracks are displayed. Typically these will include Artist, though not with compilation albums, Album Artist, Album, No. of Tracks, Genre plus various sort fields. A blank value may indicate that different tracks have different values or it may be that the value is blank for all tracks. For the drop down values on the Options tab the value shown may not reflect the information in every tag. If values you expect to be common, such as Album Artist or the Album title are not displayed you can simply type these in and click OK. This will often be enough to group the album.
If you place a checkmark against the blank boxes and apply changes then you will clear those fields so you should only do this if that is the effect you want. Putting a checkmark next to an empty (representing different values) *Track No.* box, for example, will just clear the all the track numbers which is very rarely useful.
Adding then removing extra text is for a specific problem where despite all common values being identical across the tracks of the album iTunes seems to "remember" that it should see two albums. A typical example would be when an album originally listed as *Album CD1* & *Album CD2* is given disc numbers X of Y and then has the Album name changed to Album. I've seen iTunes merge all but one track into the new album, but insist on listing one remaining track separately, despite both albums having the same title. In this case I've found overtyping the album title again has no effect whereas changing it to AlbumX and then back to Album does what I was trying to achieve in the first place.
Don't forget that even properly organsied albums may still break up if you don't chose an album-friendly view. Sorting on the track name or track number columns can be useful in some circumstances but in general I revert to Album by Artist when browsing through my library.

How do you get into the BIOS on a Satellite 320 CDS.

Hi my name is steve I was wondering how do you get into the BIOS on a satellite 320 CDS. As this is my first format on a lap top. Done plenty on desktop computers just never laptops. As some fool tried to do it before me and distroyed it. Now the only thing that happens is after the toshiba logo disappears this message comes up, INVALID SYSTEM DISK, REPLACE THE DISK AND THEN PRESS ANY KEY. It use to run Windows 98 and it worked great for how old it is. Was hoping to put XP on it but its only got a small hard drive (4099mb). So will have to put 98 back on it till I get a bigger hard drive.Only need it to teach my daughter how to respect a laptop. I mainly want to get into the BIOS for format. Any instruction on how to get into the BIOS would be great, as I'm good from there. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,
I don't know the exact method for the Satellite 320 CDS.
But most of the Toshiba notebooks use one of the following methods.
If you see a message while booting "Press F2 to enter setup", do it and you get into BIOS.
Or you have to press ESC while booting, then press F1 when prompted to and you are in the BIOS.
Bye

HOW DO YOU GET TO THE RAID SETTINGS ON THIS THING (GT60 2O)???

Dude... I been online for 40 minutes looking for instructions on how to get around this box. I can't find anything relevant, so I'm just gonna ask. How do you get to the settings for SUPER RAID 2? I can't find any information on it and now I'm really getting frustrated!! Any help would be appreciated.

First go into your BIOS and set the controller to RAID instead of AHCI/IDE/whatever it is.
You should then be able to use some key combination (such as ALT+H or whatever it is) to enter the Intel Raid ROM and setup the RAID in there.

"BSOsoft". You really ought to practice asking coherent questions.
If I have downloaded the same app as you, I'd guess tapping the button called "Download All Pro - Click Here to Download" which is right at the top of the FAQ screen might be as good a guess as any.

There is no album artwork in the Multiple items information box for all albums

I have iTunes 10.0.5 and all my album artwork is present but when i bring up the Multiple item information box by clicking on an album there is no artwork there?
but there is artwork on the actual album. im wondering if this is why when im uploading music to the internet using FTP transfer the artwork doesnt come up next to the song name. It does with some and with others there is no art.
All the songs have ID3tags versoin 2.4 and have been converted to a MP3 file but still doesnt work.
Check this image to understand what i mean more.
So from the right itunes is showing an album with the album art, in the middle is showing the Multiple items information boc and on the left its showing my FTP with albumart work showing and some not showing?
PLease can someone help

*Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exisits in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
*How to find tracks without artwork*
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. If you're using Google or other FWSE to locate suitable images they should be jpg's and ideally square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the abum, use CTRL-I or Option-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
*Rebuild artwork cache*
Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

Sorting / Get Info for Multiple Item Information

I want to sort based on album artist and then album. (Can I/How do I) select a secondary sort item? How do I suggest additions to the Multiple Item Information dialog, specifically sort album artist, sort album)?

Click on Album column header a few times.
It will cycle Album -> Album by Artist -> Album by Year and back to Album.
How do I suggest additions to the Multiple Item Information dialog, specifically sort album artist, sort album)?
No need to.
Fill in the info in one sort field, then click okay.
Right click on that song then *Apply sort field* and select which field you want to apply.

The example show what to do when you get to safe mode but it does not show the step of how to get to safe mode. In order to get to the safe mode how do you get there? The steps are not clear, I guess what I am asking is what are the step by step instructions starting from where to do go to get the safe mode choice?
My main problem is my enter button does not work in firefox google search. It will work for a short time and all of a sudden it will stop. How can I fix this problem as well?

You can also try to clear the cache and the cookies from sites (e.g. google.com) that cause problems.

How do you get to display checkbox items in list or detail layouts?

Hi,
I have searched everyhwere for what I felt would be standard stuff in web apps, now lost a day to it!
None of the online videos/knowledge base articles or this forum seem to cover it but I can't believe you wouldn't be able to do it.
If I have created checkbox fields in my web apps how do I get them to display in the main templates (details and list) as list items, ul, ol or dl or anything else other than raw output?
How do I wrap the nessersary html around the values? Jquery for now I guess or is there some hidden liquid layout or tag parameter/value I don't know of?
And whilst I'm on it is my only option to not show or show content based on a boolean true/false value to do it through jquery/css?
Help appreciated, so desperate now!
Regards
Bangers

Hi Mary,
Thanks for the help. I saw that somewhere though Adobe's making this forum nice and tricky to find anything! Relied on google caching for most useful stuff I've found to bybass the redirect to the first forum page.
I needed it to wrap around the items so came up with this:
<script type="text/javascript">
     $(document).ready(function () {
     // Populate a dl with checkbox items or choose any other html to wrap around items
         var checkItems="{tag_checkboxItems}";
         $('#dlID').html('<dt>Items List Title</dt><dd>'+checkItems.split(",").join("</dd><dd>")+'</dd>');
          // #dlID can be anything but identifys the html element that you setup to contain your list of items in my case it was a dl with id #dlID
</script>
If there is a better SEO method to do this please let me know.
Frankly I've been amazed that web apps don't really support conditional statments and there is little to no information on achieving it through jquery (my first projects have been fairly basic)...roll on fluild layouts I guess.
Failing that maybe Adobe could produce something in the knowledge base or videos which really do cover more advanced implementaion of web apps. I doubt anyone using web apps or having had experience of other CMS would really consider showing or hiding content based on boolean results or looping to create lists all that advanced, it's more a fundemental function of a CMS.
P.S Thanks again to both of you.

HT201269 How do you get to the setup assistant if the iphone was already setup?

How can I get to the setup assistant if the iPhone is already setup?

Hey Toddheel,
Thanks for the question, and great question by the way. If you have a device that has already been setup, you can erase it to return to the iOS Setup Assistant:
If you've already set up your device, you can erase all current content to go through the iOS Setup Assistant again. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do this only if you already have a backup, because this step will remove all current content from your device.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
