I want all album songs togetther, not by artist?

I have a problem with my classical cds, they are being split up by artists, and that means that sometimes there could just be 1 track on a cd. How do I get the old way of viewing albums back? I dont want to have to see 50 albums when I really just have one with 50 artists on it. Can anyone please help me?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
For classical music you may want to consider the composer rather than the performers as the Artist and/or Album Artist.

Hey everyone! i have a external hardrive i keep my itunes library of songs on and it wont sync with my ipod touch inless i copy and paste it into my ipod device when thats conected. i dont want all the songs on there only checked ones. help plz!!

im having trouble with syncing my ipod touch with my itunes library that i keep on a external hardrive. when i plug up my external hardrive that has all my songs on it, it doesn't sync to my ipod correctly. i have to copy and paste the songs to my ipod device when its connected. i dont want all the songs on there and i want to be able to manually control whats on my ipod. and id like to take some songs off of the ipod also but i want them still in my itunes library though. i usually check the songs i want on the ipod but it isnt working that way maybe because its a external hardrive?? i never had a problem with past ipods with my library on itunes but i ran out of space on my computer and had to transfer all of the songs to my external hardrive. please someone help me!! i thought it would be simple! but it isnt the case! i plug up my hardrive then my ipod, i press sync and nothing gets transfered unless i copy and paste them to the ipod. even though it says ipod syncing in progress! this is really confusing! please help me!! sorry if this is jumbled up and confusing..

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Please help! all albums on ipod not showing in itunes library

Hi,
I 'd be very grateful if someone could help me please. I have an old ipod nano 4 or 5th gen, sorry not sure which. My problem is that only a few of my albums are showing in itunes although they are all on my ipod. I have tried syncing my ipod many times but it hasn't worked. I have also tried i the summary tab, unticking 'manually manage music and videos', but then get a message 'are you sure you want to manually manage music and videos on your ipod? All existing content on your ipod will be replaced with the contents of your itunes library'. Which I don't want, because only a few of my albums are on my itunes library! I want all the music stored on my ipod to go on to itunes, and I don't know why it dissapeared from itunes in the first place...Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mari.

Hi!
If iTunes is recognizing that there is music on the device that isn't automatically syncing, do this:
1: Go into the iPod area of iTunes.
2: Find the Music tab.
3: Select the unsynced music.
4: Drag the music into the Music part of the iTunes library (should be on the left hand side).
It is probably just not syncing automatically because you haven't told it that you want it to sync. This will fix it.

Album song order not kept!

Hello
I imported lots of songs into my itunes library from various sources (itunes store, CD's, and audio files converted from my vinyl records) This way, songs from a specific artist, and sometimes from a specific album, could come from different sources.
Now, I try to arrange all the songs from a specific album to appear in the appropriate order, but I just can't find a way of doing this! The songs just appear in the way itunes sorts them, without any relation to the original order of the album. Even more, in the ipod, the order changes once again with no appearant reason!
I tried changing the names on the files in itunes to include serial numbers (01, 02 and so on, at the names of the songs). but then again, for some reason, no order is kept.
How can I sort the songs in the album according to the proper order? I don't want to use a special playlist for each album.
Thank you in advance for your replies
Zak.

I'm having the same problem. I don't want to add any more songs into itunes because it's getting too messed up. I want the songs in the order that they appear on the cd. If you find a solution please let me know.

I recently purchased songs and some of them did not download to my computer but just a few seconds, all the song did not download, while other songs were perfectly fine. How do I get the full songs downloaded now?

Some of my recently purchased songs did not fully download while other songs did. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Did I do something wrong? I purchased all the same way, but only received a parcel song on about half of my purchases. Help.....

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

How can i get all albums to appear in the artist list

Not all of my albums for a particular artist appear in the artist list. How can I correct this?

Hi spike1954,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first check the Song Info associated with the albums that are not displaying correctly. See this article for the details:
Playing and managing content in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1399
Editing and arranging content
Editing Info
Each audio or video file in iTunes has several settings and tags that can be easily modified. These options can be accessed by selecting any file in the iTunes browser windows and selecting "Get Info" from the File menu. You can add song lyrics, artwork and set special playback options. The "Info" tab lets you edit information about the file including artist and album info.
Additionally, while this article refers to a previous version of iTunes, the information within can still be helpful:

Album art does not match artist

About 50% of the album art does not match the artist titles on the iPod. In iTunes they are fine. I've reset and resynced. Any ideas?
thanks

If your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
iTunes 6
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.
iTunes 7
1. Connect your iPod
2. Disable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes.
4. Re-enable "Display album artwork" in iPod>Music tab and click Apply.
5. Syncronise the iPod again.

TS1718 Purchased Eagles Desparado Album All the songs are not fully downloaded

I just purchased Eagles "Desparado " album and though my library says they are fully downloaded ,they are not.Tred to download one song and stillget the same result ,patial download Updated i pod and i Tunes to no avail Please help

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

I Tunes library on original computer that is lost . Downloaded I Tunes using my ID and password on new Dell computer . It has three songs in the library I never purchased and the library of all my songs is not there . My songs are on my I Pod . What to do

original PC out of action and cannot access or use at all . Downloaded I Tunes on new PC using ID and Password . It appeared with 3 songs I never heard of and never purchased . Where is my library of songs majority purchased from I Tunes . Library on my I Pod but I do not wish to risk synching and losing everything . Cannot find anywhere that it explains this situation . Help please

The three music came with your operating system.
Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

TS1389 Hi, I am Natalie Prince and I opened my Itunes account in 2006 when I got my Ipod. I purchased lots of music. Over the years I haved changed computers and phones. I now have an HTC One and I want all the songs from my old account on it.

I think I had an old itunes id. When I go to Itunes on my program list all of my music comes up, there are probably a hundred or two songs. But it never let me burn them to anything other than my Ipod. I changed my password so now when I pull up my account there is no music. Can anyone tell me how to find my old account and then copy that music to my HTC One.?

Either you did or did not. Do you not remember?

Media is not burned to iDevices. Burning an iDevice would destroy it.
Why will iTunes not allow you to sync media to the iDevice? What happens when trying to sync media to an iDevice?

Changed password to what?
Pull up what account?
What does this have to do with iTunes?
One does not pull up an account to access their media, they simply launch iTunes.
Changing a password has nothing to do with accessing the media on the computer when one launches iTunes.
What is the actual issue that is occurring?

iTunes has nothing to do with putting media on a non-Apple device.

I don't want all the songs on my iPod

I have several songs on my computer that I don't want on my iPod as they're songs my wife listens to. How can I select which ones I want when I sync?

Do it in computer iTunes.
Make a playlist in iTunes, drag and drop songs you like into playlist
Plug your iPod Touch into computer.
In iTunes select your iPod Touch (left panel), select Music tab (top right).
Check Sync Music, choose Selected playlists, artists, album....
On the left select your playlist then sync (bottom right).

Hi charlieboychico,
If you are seeing exclamation points listed next to songs in iTunes (indicating that iTunes was not able to locate the original file), you may find the following article useful:
