I bought a compilation album, but it has shown up as 100 single songs on my iphone.

I have bought a compilation christmas album of 100 christmas songs, but it has appeared on my iphone as 100 separate songs. Why??

2 things...
1) The used computer you bought should have been Restored to Factory Settings Before it was Sold...
See here...

Also See Thomas Reed's How to Prepare your Mac for sale
2)  From your OLD computer... (the one you used to Sync and Backup to...)
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive...
and then from the External Drive to your New ( the used one you bought that has now been Restored to Factory settings) Computer..

  • I bought a full album but one of the songs needs authorization to play on a computer that is already authorized?

    Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

    Only your friend can unlock it, either by giving you his Apple ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices - please see:

    There is no way at all it can be unlocked without his doing this.

  • I just bought a new album but it won't play in iTunes, iPhone or iPad

    Hi,
    i just bought a new album in iTunes for Windows. I downloaded it and tried to play it but iTunes just skips the titles.
    I synchronized the album to my iphone and ipad. Still won't play it. Even if i open the music files in the explorer and try to play it with WMPlayer it doesn't work.
    Any ideas?

    the rest of my music still works fine!

  • I bought an entire album, but only part of it will download. Help??

    I bought an entire album for 9.99 and I had 13$ on my account. Only some of the songs downloaded, while the rest said purchased on my iTunes app on my phone. But on my music app it just shows the downloaded ones. So, I clicked on "see entire album" or something and it showed the remainder of the songs available for 1.29. But I've already bought them! I don't have any more credit and I want these songs that I've ALREADY paid for. Help???

    What happens when you try to download it again? An error message? Does it try to charge you again?
    You may need to tell the iTunes store people about it if its trying to charge you for it again.

  • 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!

    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.

  • I bought an entire album but the songs aren't listed out individually

    I bought an entire album from iTunes but the songs aren't listed out individually.  they are listed individually on my iPhone, but not in my iTunes library.

  • HT204053 I have just bought a new iPad but I can't see how I can sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on the iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

    I have just bought the new iPad but can't see how I would sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?

    Photos on the camera roll can be included in an icloud backup from an iOS device (if camera roll is turned on).  But getting the photos back from a backup is risky.  Many users have performed restore operations from a backup only to discover the photos were not returned.  icloud is primarily used to sync photos to other devices using photo stream - but only new photos taken after the stream is turned on in Settings>icloud will actually be synced, not old photos.
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album).  You can then sync the photos to the iPad.

  • I bought an album but it has not registered to buying all the songs?

    I purchased a whole album by clicking on the buy all under the album cover. The songs downloaded but when I checked, one was missing. It says I have not purchased one of the songs from the album and yet I have the 'Album Only' songs. How is this possible and how to I get the missing song without having to pay for it again?

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    Do you mean that you can't download it or that you've downloaded them but the tracks don't play ?
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • I have bought a new computer and bought a new track but it has now wiped everything of my i pod

    I have bought a new computer and have bought a new track since I tried to download it  I now have everything wiped off my i pod

    Correct.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • I recently downloaded an entire album. There is a deluxe edition of the album, but it doesnt say I've downloaded any songs o the deluxe edition, while another album by the same artist counts my purchases to both the regular and deluxe.Purposeful or not?

    The album Im having trouble with is The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. Is this on purpose, or a glitch?

    Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.
