Generally adding a common album artist will fix things.

Recently got a new iphone but when i tried to sync it with my itunes, all my music appeared with a cloud beside it and doesnt play. Do i have to download each individual track by clicking on each cloud or is there an easier way? I have over 1000 songs!!!!
Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

Is there an easy way to reimport all songs in my itunes folder?
This may sound like a weird question but here goes... When I bring up my iTunes I have 8731 files (mostly music) that come to about 41.33G's but when I right click on my iTunes Music folder and select properties there are 8809 files and a total of 48.5G's. I am trying to free up some disk space and can't figure out why there is such a difference. I had issues with Norton 360 and removed it but I had to restore my music files from an external drive and when I did so I lost the links for music that I added after my last back-up. I noticed that TV shows I bought from Apple were not in my iTunes but I was able to locate them in the folder, and import them back into iTunes. I have a feeling there are music files in my folders that are not linked to iTunes but can't figure out how to import them without going through all 8800+ files. Is there an easy way to import all the files without losing the current playcounts or a way to figure out which files may be duplicated in my iTunes Music folder. Seems like I am wasting 7G somewhere that I would like to recover. I already went through the duplicate songs and that didn't help. Any suggestions would be great...

AFIK there isn't an easy way of linking up to a lot of dead tracks and retaining play counts etc, except by finding the dead tracks and repairing each link individually. The only exception to this is if there is a simple error in the path that can be fixed by a search and replace on the xml library file, then rebuilding the library. However it doesn't sound as though that would be a solution for you.
This MacMuse tip has a way of finding dead tracks if that helps.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121967
It is much simpler to sacrifice the playcount information and just reimport your iTunes Music folder. Then you can eliminate the dead tracks with a script. One of the forum members has written one that you can find here:

if your iphone 3gs just shuts down when something went wrong with your hardware is there any possible way to get all pictures or other important stuff onto itunes?
What happened to the phone. Did it just go black? Did you try to plug it into Itunes and see if it can be seen or throw it on the charger. You can still try the reset procedure listed in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 and see if the phone turns back on.
The only way to get things back is to have backed them up ahead of time. -
Is there an easy way to import those misfortunate photos back into iphoto
I moved my iphoto library to my external drive so that both my laptop and imac can use the synced photo library.
... but now my imac iphoto says I can not open my iphoto library, because is from a newer version of iphoto. And the application then closes.
I figured out my newer laptop has a newer version of iphoto on it.
Imac iphoto version is 6.0.6
Laptop iphoto version s 7.1.5
I Downloaded iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This created a new library but says a lot of my pictures are lost. I can search and find them on my external drive and reimport, but there are a lot of them! Any suggestions?
I'd rather use the 6.0.6 on my imac than pay for an upgrade.
I just won't use my laptop's iphoto.
BUT, how can I get my 6.0.6 working again with all of my pictures in tact? Or is there an easy way to import those misfortunate photos back into iphoto painlessly?
Any other solutions??
Will Snow Leopard have the newest iPhoto included?
Thank you!
KimKim
If you want to revert to iPhoto 6 then you have two choices:
1. Restore from your back up
or
2. Create a new v6 Library and start over.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'.
Go into the Old iPhoto Library (Right Click on the Library Icon and choose ‘Show Package Contents) and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the old iPhoto Library.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
“Snow Leopard” is an OS Upgrade. While we have no idea what will be included with it, on past experience, no, it will not include a new version of iPhoto.

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

Is there an easy way to get rid of duplicates in your music library?
Is there an easy way to get rid of duplicates in your music library?
Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership.See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

Is ther an easy way to synch all my folders in ipad2
Is there an easy way to synch all my mail folders
Sorry, I obviously did not fully understand what was happening. Most users wonder why local folders in their mail clients don't appear on the iPad but that is not your case.
I know nothing about Windows Live email/Hotmail but from a quick read here....
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1694
Do you need to validate the iPad with Hotmail? I would assume that you've done that if it's working ok on the iPad.
If that's not the case, I will now bow out and hope that someone comes along that can offer more help than I have to offer. -

In Mail on the iPad, is there an easy way to place emails in the junk file like on the iMac?
Is there an easy way to place emails received on my iPad into a junk file like you can do on the iMac by using a junk icon to stop certain emails from reoccuring?
You would need to first set up a junk folder, once that is done, when you are previewing message there is an icon on top of a folder with an arrow inside it, tap on it, this is the move action, in the folder list that now appears tap on the junk folder.

Is there an easy way to find out if the GPIB/ENET adapter is connected to the computer?
I'm using Component Works for Visual Basic and have no problem with my software on computers with PCMCIA GPIB adapters. The GPIB driver seems to know if the adapter is in the computer or not.
When my software is used on a computer where the GPIB/ENET adapter is not powered on, the software seems to lock up but eventually comes back with an error. Since there doesn't seem to be an easy way to determine if an adapter is present my code just assumes it's there, which doesn't work with the GPIB/ENET GPIB dll. Is there any way I can look for the board before querying for instuments on the bus?Hello David,
One possible solution would be to ping the ENET box. If you know the IP of the box, a simple ping should immediatly let you know the status of the box.

Hi guys,
I'm using Premiere Pro CC on Windows 8.1 Pro. The Mark Clip function - X shortcut key by default doesn't seem to work.
I know that if I go into Source Monitor I can mark the clip in there but WHY ? In the old day of CS5.5 I can mark a clip (not timeline) as quick indicator for frame / sound issue of a particular clip. One key press and I'm done.
So, is there an easy way to mark a clip in Premiere Pro CC without going into Source Monitor?
Cheers!Hi Mark and everyone looking to find the answer,
After experimenting, I figured out the answer. This applies for the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC (as of 01-Sep-2014) ver 8.0.1 (build 21)
Context: You want to add a marker to a specific clip instead of a sequence but you can't seem to do it.
Why?
- X key (or Mark Clip as Premiere Pro CC calls it) doesn't add a Marker to a clip. What it does is using the clip you are selecting as reference for Mark In / Out of your current sequence.
- M key (or Add Marker as Premiere Pro CC calls it) will add a marker to your clip.
HOWEVER:
If you are not expanding your clip to see the wave form or clip thumbnail, the marker on the clip will not show up. It used to show up in CS5.5!!!!!! Why not in CC!!!?!
It will only add the marker to the clip you are selecting. Track targeting does not matter.
If you don't select any clip, it will add a marker to your sequence.
Example: (This is the same clip and sequence)
How it looks with marker added.
Track targeting does not matter - reference number 1
Current selected clip is is the key - reference number 2
2. How it looks with marker added but you can't see
3. How it looks if you don't select the clip and hit M
Hope this help!
Cheers! -
Is there an easy way to get itunes to find ALL my songs ?
After moving my itunes library to a new hard drive and consolidating it most of my 1000's of songs have an ! mark next to them, which means that itunes can't find that song, movie or tv show. I can individually click on each song, movie or tv show, and direct itunes where to find it and then it's fine, but it would take me the rest of my life to do that to everything I've got. I looked this issue up and found a couple of recent posts of the same question, but the solutions posted have in fact made the situation worse not better. The issue is with my iTunes on 1 hard drive 750gig on my G5 which is running itunes 7.4.2 and Mac OS 10.4.10. This is not a new problem as I have had this on my imac as well when I transferred music to it rather than downloading fresh from a cd.
I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks!
the solution I tried was to drag the library.xml from the itunes folder to the desktop and then open itunes and do file/import/choose and choose the library.xml on the desktop. After doing this I found that the songs I had loccated manually for itunes were now "Lost" again.I run itunes from an external hard drive as I have too much itunes for my laptop! Part of my "back up" process is to always copy the "itunes library" and "itunes music library.xml" anytime after I buy/add music or change a playlist. Regardless of where your library is kept, those two documents on your hard drive in your music/itunes folder determine your library.
One time I had a hard drive failure and had to reinstall all my itunes stuff (I always back everything up to another hard drive and on dvd). I had not backed up since the last time I had purchased music/tv. When I dragged the two documents to my music folder on my hard drive, the most recent files didn't show up. They were in the music folder, but not appearing in the interface. I had to re-import them through itunes. No biggie. It was only a couple of files and I knew which ones weren't there.
Good luck!
