How to join a separated album

Have you ever had a situation where an album is split into two or more parts? It shows as two or more albums in list view. This can happen even with purchased music. I checked all tags (like album or artist title, disc/track numbers, sorting fields, etc.) and couldn't find anything wrong.
Here's an example: http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/8867/screenshot20091004at180.jpg
I thought I knew everything about tagging but this is really weird...

Slight variations in spacing, spelling, or punctuation of the album name can cause iTunes to consider the two songs to be from separate albums. Be sure that all the songs that are supposed to be from the same album have the exact same album name. One way to easily do this is to select all the songs and choose Get Info from the File menu and retype the album name such that it will apply to all the selected songs.

ITunes Separating Albums

Hi
I'm having an issue with iTunes where it is separating albums. Essentially, it shows the same album twice with some songs in one album, others in another. I have used "get info" to try and make sure all the info is the same, i.e disc numbers, track numbers, etc. Nothing seems to work. Sometimes tagging it as "various artists" (even if it isnt) can help, but not all the time. Same thing for "marking as compilation".
How can I fix this once and for all?

How to join GRPO with AP invoice thru query ?

hi all,
How to join GRPO with AP invoice in sql query ?
Jeyakanthan

Hi Jeyakanthan
Are you using query in SAP Business One or outside the system? If you select the tables in SAP Business One as OPCH and OPDN then no inner join will appear, as the links sit on the line level. You will need PCH1 and PDN1. The link can be found in both directions, but bear in mind that 1 AP Invoice could be based on more than 1 Goods Receipt PO. For this reason the best approach is to start at the AP Invoice line level and use the BaseType and BaseRef fields to view which lines were pulled from which Goods Receipt PO's.
Kind regards

How can I identify which albums are associated with a specific picture. I used to click on the picture and see the albums but don't know how to do it in 13?

I keep pictures in Albums, specifically by year and then other topic albums. As a result some pictures are in several albums. Sometimes they are assigned in error. I used to be able to click on a picture and see not only the tags but the albums associated with the picture. How can I see which albums are assigned to a picture?

Are you referring to the yellow text box that pops up like this?
If it is those are called tooltips or anchor titles. Cyclosaurus has posted script to block them: removing rollover html detail box: Apple Support Communities.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

How do I organize the albums/songs in my iTunes?

I just decided to put a bunch of songs onto my iTunes so I could then sync those songs with my iPad 3 (and my new iPhone that's coming in the mail tomorrow ). Anyways, the way they organize my songs in iTunes is all messed up. If a song has more than one artist, it treats that song like a completely different album rather than including it all together under one album and under the main artist.
Is there a way I can edit the song/album details so I can organize my iTunes library in a way that will move the songs under the appropriate album, rather than treating them like a completely separate album? I already tried letting iTunes keep my media folder organized, and that just made it worse. I want to have control over the way the albums/artists/songs are organized.
So in short, how do I edit the album/artist/song details so I can make sure that the albums sync properly and it doesn't show 1 album as 5 separate albums? I'd also like to know how to make it so I get all the album artwork (other than relying on iTunes to do this) so I can have a nice neat looking music library on my iPad 3.
Thank you for reading, and thank you for helping me out.

A couple of tips for keeping albums intact:
Make sure the ALBUM ARTIST is the same for all tracks? Artist can be different as long as the album artist is set the same
Make sure the album Name is identical for each track
Check the song sequence and that each track is marked track # of total number of tracks
Make sure none of the tracks have "part of compilation" checked, unless it actually IS a compilation, and then all should have it checked (HINT: a greatest hits album is NOT a compilation.
This should all be done iniTunes on your computer prior to synching.
On the iPad, in the music app, tap the "more" button at the bottom of the screen and turn "sort by artist" ON.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
... I assumed that if I played the 1st track, it would continue to play the rest of the album (as iTunes does on my Macs and PCs),...
You assumed correctly, and it should continue to play the rest of the album in order. Does this happen to all your albums. Have you tried restarting the tv.

How can I load this album art? Artwork tab does not display.

If I place the cursor on one of the items in a compilation and right-click, then select (click) "Get Info", I get this message: "Are you sure you want to edit info for multiple items?" If I click "Yes," nothing happens (I can't add the cover), and there is no "Artwork" tab at the top. The "Summary" page says "There is no album artwork" (greyed out).
If I place the cursor on one of the items in this compilation and right-click, then select (click) "Get album artwork", I get a message saying Apple can't find it. But I placed the artwork for this particular album in my "Album Artwork" folder.
Any suggestions on how I can get the album art to display for this compilation? Thanks!

Are these wav files by any chance? These don't support a tagging system. iTunes can associate iTMS art with wav files when it's available/recognised, but as there is no tag the information cannot be embedded in the files so iTunes doesn't support adding art to wav files.

How can I delete an album that had hundreds of wrong songs dumped into it?

When I was new to mac I messed up my music library when I tried to get my albums (all music really) into iTunes. Now I have some albums with hundereds of songs. I cant seem to get them off my system without deleting all the music on my system.
How can I remove corupt albums in my music library and get it to see only my albums as they actually are on the computer hard drive?
Thanks for any help!

About… is always under the thing it is about.
So for Pages it is under the Pages menu.
In Pages 5.1 you can not insert images into the Header, so I assume you have put it in the Section Master.
click at the end of the first page text > Menu > Insert > Section Break
Then delete the logo in the subsequent section/s. Section Master objects repeat for every page of the section they are in. As the name suggests.

1.) How do I organized my photo album on my ipad?
2.) How do I remove an album on my ipad?
3.) i have taken over 1,000 photos on ipad, now it won't sync stuff to the ipad because it said there is not enough space. I want to delete some past synced photos from the computer to create space, but I don't know how to find it on computer. It sycned a portion of a file onto the ipad which is useless to me so I want to delete it all & start fresh.
4.) I was thinking about copying some of those photos over so it would show up as new data maybe then it would sync to my ipad as a new & competed album. Or will this create more problem because it would only be creating more photos?
5.) By the way, I don't know how to use dropbox or anything like it, so I take photos of some files & web screen that I use regularly to always have access regardless of internet access. That is why I have so many photos. But I want to be able to separate & organized them by files, web screens, or topics. I also want to be able to delete & update as needed.
6.) If needed I am willing to delete 4 G of downloaded app to create space. Will this help the space issue? Also could I just leave the downloaded app to my computer only & only sync to to ipad as needed, since I don't need app as regularly. I NEED "photo" ALL of the TIME! I am out in the field, instead of carrying stack & stack of papers, I carry ipad with photo of these daily needed papers!

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

Hi, when I upload music into itunes from a cd it sometimes appears in itunes as two different albums and split up the music in 2 or even three albums....how can i merge these albums...this is particularly true when one album may have different composers?

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
For compilations that aren't, select all tracks, Get Info, and on the option tab set Part of a Compilation to No. If it already says No tick the box alongside, then click OK.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

How can I get a Album with multiple artists to appear as a single album with all of the tracks?

How can I get a Album that contains multiple artists to appear as a single album with multiple tracks? Also when I sync iTunes with my iPhone or iPad the Album appears as multiple albums with each artist. The Album title is the same on each of the affected tracks.

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.
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes? The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

It sounds like you might have the shuffle button at the bottom left of the iTunes (the button with the squiggly lines).
If that's not the case, then maybe you just need to sort your library by album by clicking the album tab at the top.
Is your music in a playlist, or are you trying to play it from the entire library?
