How to show artists in a compilation album but not split the album?

Sorry, I wasn't sure which section to submit this question to.
I have recently downloaded my iTunes music to my iPhone 4s. However, 'compilation' albums ( in my case albums by artists who have a lot of guests on their songs) did not show up under artists. So I unticked the compilation box in the album info. But now when I go to albums, each song with a different guest is in its own album.
My iPod nano shows the different artisits for compilation albums and the album as a whole. How can I make my iPhone do the same?
Thank you for any ideas!

Thank you so much! Got it sorted!
Another quick qu - what do I do if I have a compilation with each song having a different artist? Can I show the individual artist whilst keeping them all in the same album?
Only in the Album view. Artist view will display them separately unless you have Group by Album Artist turned On. I tend to set the Album Artist (not the individual track artist) as "Various" or XYZ Soundtrack or something similar making grouping them a bit easier.

    Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank.  The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums.  What happened and how do I recover them all?  Are they in my icloud?  Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blurry.  what gives?  They were all completely clear and in the albums when I last used my ipad??  Would doing the "Reset" under General settings do that?  When I returned from Europe I reset my ipad to get it in the right time zone etc. 

    Reboot.   Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

  • How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?

    How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?
    I currently am running 3.1 but would like to update it to the 4.1 version (not the latest 4.3 version). How do I do this? I have already gone online and downloaded the 4.1 firmware for iPhone 3G but not sure how to install it. I unzipped the file then tried to do the Shift>Update trick but none of the downloaded files could be selected. Am I doing something wrong?

    There is no official way to do what you want, that's why the files can't be selected. iOS 4.2.1 is the last officially signed firmware available for your phone. If you want to install any other firmware you'll have to go elsewhere for instructions as such cannot be discussed here, per this forum's terms of use, sorry.

  • How to create an Album but not have the photos in the main library

    We have some personal pictures of our kids birth and want to create a private folder and place the photos in that folder and then delete them from the main library. So when we show friends etc our photo collection they don't see these private photos.
    However when we move photos into our private album they re-appear in the main library!!... how do we get around this?
    Thanks for any help!
    Power Mac Dual G5 2GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    Steve, it sure is possible.
    First gather up all the photos and put them in an album, then Share>export the album to newly created folder on the desktop.
    close iPhoto.
    Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you see a message window.
    Choose to create a new library and name the library.
    Now import the album on the desktop.
    to switch between libraries use the Option key at at launch.
    When you launch iPhoto holding down the Option key this is the window you will get.
    Create a new library or choose a library to open
    Choose to create a new library if that is what you want to do, or choose a library to open by clicking the "choose" button.
    If you click the "create library" iPhoto will open with a brand new library for you to import images to. If you click "choose" then you will get this window.
    Open library
    Navigate to where the library is on your computer, highlight it, then clcik the "open" button.

  • How do I keep photos in an album, but not on the camera roll

    I want to remove the photos on my camera roll, but keep them in the albums. Usually people will go through my camera roll, but wont check the albums.... How can I do this, I still want them on my phone.

    You can copy the photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then when you sync, in iTunes go to the Photos tab at the top and select the folder where you have them on your computer and they will sync back to your phone.

    How do I redeem coins I purchased for Bejeweled Blitz?  The purchase shows up on iTunes, but not on the app.

    It sounds like you might have broken links to your content. Either repair these by putting the files you've recovered where iTunes expects to find them or delete the broken entries then go to iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on This Computer, and click the download links.
    If you have an Apple device see also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How can I delete photos from camera roll but not from another album??

    When I create a new album and copy some pictures from the camera roll to the new album, they stay on the camera roll, and when I delete one of the copied ones from camera roll it also gets deleted from the new album, how can I avoid this???

    You can't. The way that I consider it to work is that you are effectively just creating a pointer to the photo in the new album (I don't think that the total number of photos on the device increases when you 'copy' them into new albums), so if you then delete the original photo you will also delete all the pointers to it.

  • Photos showing up in Wallpaper Photo Album, but not Main Photo Album

    I just switched to iPhone - love it. Just transferred all of my photos from my old device into my iPhone via iTunes. They show they are in the iPhone when I check the iTunes capacity at the bottom, and they all show up as options for my wallpaper in the wallpaper settings. However, when I just go to the Photos app on my main screen they aren't in the Photo Album there (not the camera roll either but I expected that).
    Thoughts on this? Did I do something wrong in the transfer? None of the files are corrupt - I was able to open them all in the wallpaper area but they just aren't available in the normal photo album.
    Thanks

    How did you correct this issue? i am having the same issue!

  • I preordered an album but not all the songs are showing up. They say purchased but wont go into my itunes library or onto my iphone. Please help.

    They say purchased but wont go into my itunes library or onto my iphone. Please help.

    Hey there aussieboss123,
    It sounds like you are wanting to download an album that you pre ordered, not all the songs are downloading. First, use this section of the following article to see if the tracks download:
    Download a pre-ordered item
    When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
    If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
    iTunes Store: About pre-orders
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5714
    If it does not, I would use the following article to report a problem with the purchase to the iTunes Store support directly:
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

    A response on this subject from another post:
    It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
    To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
    If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
    The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.

    I had an earlier post on this subject with a similar problem. I tried what you suggested and it worked indeed. You can select the artists from your Ipod on Itunes and after highlighting the artists/albums affected, click NO on the compilation box and the issue is resolved: the artists appear on the list.
    Thank you so much!!!!.

  • Save photos in albums but not in the roll?

    I want to organize my pictures in albums but delleting them from the camara roll... is that posible? if not, does it take more memory from my iphone, bacouse of the double copy???

    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly, as you would with any digital camera.
    You can then organize them however you like and sync whatever you like to your iphone

  • I bought an album but now that the album is released it says i haven't bought it

    Okay so i bought 'smoke and mirrors' by imagine dragons and when the three songs that came out before the rest of it was released i could download those songs however now my itunes is telling me that i haven't bought it
    i don't know what to do

    You won't have bought the album when you pre-ordered the album, you are only charged when it's released - if you want to download the rest of the album then you will need a payment method on your account to purchase it (you should be charged the album's price minus the early released tracks)
