Importing an enitre album into i tunes

if I move a music folder from one computer to another and then try to import it into to itunes of the second computer. I have to import each song/track individualy, I am not allowed to move all tracks in in one move. Is there a way to import the entire folder( all tracks ) at one time? joanlvh

Instead of going to File > Import, you can select the files you want in the finder, and drag them to the Library in the left hand column of iTunes. You should see a green circle with a plus sign (indicating it will add these files). Drop your files like this and you should be able to import all of them at once.
I would go to Advanced > Consolidate Library... after this, so that iTunes will have the files in a place that is easy for it to remember, and you can then (and only after it's done) safely delete the original files.

I have a Windows operating system. How can I import an entire album into my PSE11 catalog?

When I use the "Import from Revel" function if PSE11 it opens up the entire Revel catalog in no particular useable order. Since I have 25000+ photos in numerous albums, that's no help.
I found that I can "Save picture as" to specific folders on my hard drive and then import these into my Photoshop catalog, but Revel only allows me to download one photo at a time to a folder even when I "Select" multiple photos, which makes it practically worthless because I have so many images.
Is there a way to select a whole album and save it into a folder in my harddrive if I can't do this directly into PSE11?

Hi Claude,
You are correct that we offered users of photoshop.com a program for archiving everything back to their computers before we shut down photoshop.com sharing and storage.
Revel is an onlilne sharing and storage option also. You can not, however do a bulk download of all your files in Revel to your computer. Currenty you can only download files one at a time.

Import is Splitting Albums into Multiple Albums?

For instance, Abbey Road is broken up into two albums. Songs are not duplicated, but are separated onto two albums. I have an album called Southern Sampler 2000 and each and every song has it's own album. Ditto for my Time/Life Rock n' Roll albums.
The one thing that they have in common is that iTunes couldn't find album art for each. I do have albums for which album art is not available that were correctly put into one album.
These albums consist of CDs that I own and had previously ripped to mp3's. They are all under one folder. The structure of the folders was E:\My Music\Artist\Album Name\ and all the mp3's for the album are in the Album Name folder.
I'd be interested in knowing why I'm not getting album art for many albums. Most of which are by major artists and not obscure released. I appreciate your assistance.
BTW this is iTunes 9.1.0.79.

It's really nice of you to offer to help.
A. Only 5 albums out of 100 or so have this problem.
B. They're all albums I ripped from CDs.
C. Yes, the "Copy Files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to library" box is checked.
What's even stranger about all this is that three of those five albums were fine this morning until I changed the spelling of the artist's name by way of a group change (selecting all the tracks in an album and changing a letter from lower case to upper).
Any advice you can give me would be very helpful (and enlightening). Otherwise, I may just try to delete the albums and import them again.

Importing a cassette tape into I tunes

Can I import and save a cassette tape into itunes thanks

You can't import the audio from your tape directly to iTunes you need software to digitise the audio first. One way is to connect your Cassette deck (through the Tape out sockets of your amplifier) to the audio in socket of your computer. On the computer you'll need audio editing software to capture and edit the resulting long file into individual tracks that can be added to the iTunes Library. There are a number of commercial programs for this (I use Sound Studio for the Mac). If want to try out the process first you could try the open source program Audacity which has Linux, Mac and Windows versions at this link: Audacity
In addition to the software you'll need RCA to 3.5 mm audio plug cables to connect the Tape Out sockets of your amplifier to the audio inputs of your computer. There's a short guide to recording here: How to record from vinyl and cassette to a computer also from the BBC Copying Vinyl Recordings to CD
If your Mac or PC hasn't got an audio in socket you can have a look at the Griffin iMic which connects to a USB port and comes with some software of it's own: iMic USB audio interface

Is there anyway to import facebook albums into the Iphoto library?

i would like to be able to insure that when i import a CD into i-Tunes that all tracks from that CD go into a single file for that album in their proper order regardless of whether or not there is a featured artist on one or two tracks or whatever. i recentl;y imported an All Time Low CD into i-Tunes for my daughter and because one song featured a guest artist i-Tunes placed that song in a seperate folder and so when i synced my daughters i-Pod Touch that one track is not with the rest of the tracks form the album and has to be listened to seperately. The song is from the same album and should be where it belongs with the rest of that album so she can listen to the entire album with the tracks in the proper order. I am sure that this can be done i just don't know how.

Edit the Name of the problem song to Name [Feat. Guest]
Change the Artist of that song to All Time Low

What you want cannot be done. iTunes has its quirks, and the above is the kind of workaround needed to make the media display sensibly on any device. The article I pointed you to has others that you may find useful in future.

I can't import certain CDs into I tunes

Hello, I am having trouble importing Cd's into I tunes. I will put the CD in and it will only import the first 5 seconds of the first song and then it will stop and the computer no longer recognizes the CD drive. If I reboot my computer the drive comes back and works just fine. This only happens on certain CDs of mine, but not all of them. Most Cd's I own import just fine. This is not a matter of copyrighted CD's causing me trouble either because most of the Cd's I want to import were made way before anyone ever thought that they could make Cd's at home on their computer. These Cd's also work fine in other CD players (such as my car) but don't in my computer.
I ran the I tunes diagnostics for my CD drive and I came up with two errors which are as follows...
Audio CD reading failed. Error Code: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2.
To play or import music from a CD in this drive, you must be logged in as an administrator.
Get drive speed failed. Error Code: 2020.
I don't understand why I am getting the first code since I am logged on as an administrator. As for the second code I have no idea what that means. The latest version of Itunes is installed and I have looked for driver updates for my CD drive (SONY CD-RW CRX230EE, Rev 2YS3) but I cannot find any on the Sony support web site. Thank you in advance for your help,
Ryan

No, unfortunately I don't think we have the same issue. The CD's that I put into my drive that don't work are professionally made CD's from a major label, not burned CD's. The drive does everything it is supposed to do (such as burn CD's) but for these 5 or 6 certain CD's that I have it gets about 5 seconds into the first song and quits. The drive disappears from My Computer and I have to Reboot the computer. Once I have done that the drive reappears.
I do think that I might just have to break down and try to call Sony directly. I have a sneaking suspicion though that I will get lost in a endless maize of "Press 3 for help with your drive" "were sorry all of our representatives are busy now" "your estimated wait time is 5... hours" and so on and so forth. Thank you for the reply's,
Ryan

How do I import movie files from my external hard drive into I-Tunes?

Hello
I have a whole load of movies and tv shows stored on an external hard drive. I would like to import a few of them into I-Tunes and then on to my Ipad because I'm going travelling tonight.
I'm dragging the file into I-Tunes but it won't copy. They are mp4 files.
I have one mkv file which I am trying to drag also.
If anyone has any tips I would be grateful.

im not sure why the mp4's wont go i, but the mkv is not a supported format. i would look into some sort of video converter.

You may not have the iPod's Music tab set up in iTunes, which is how you tell iTunes how to automatically sync your iPod.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there.
To use automatic syncing, the checkbox for Sync Music is checked. Below that, you can choose to sync Entire music library, if it fits. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
With the latter choice, you can create a selection of songs to sync to the iPod by selecting (checkmarking) playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres on the Music tab. For example, you can make a playlist in iTunes with all the songs you want on the iPod. That new album needs to be on that playlist, if you want those songs synced to the iPod. On the Music tab, checkmark that playlist.
When you Apply the change, your selection of songs sync to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, any changes in the iTunes Music library that are related to your selection of songs on the Music tab sync automatically to the iPod when you connect it, or when you click Sync.
Therefore, if you create a playlist with songs you want on the iPod, and select it on the iPod's Music tab, you can simply update that playlist in iTunes (add and remove songs), and those changes sync to the iPod automatically at the next opportunity.

Can I import a "folder tree" into an "album tree"?

I have organized a large set of photos on my PC into a nice "directory tree" or hierarchy of nested folders. The nesting structure makes sense since there is a clear hierarchical relationship amongst the photos, and there are so many of them. Viewing them is easy on my PC - I just navigate the folder structure and go into "Picture Viewer" in each folder to see all the pictures on a particlar topic.
Now, I want to do this on my Mac. Since we lack a "Picture Viewer" function in the iMac world (unless I go look for a freeware one), I am wondering if iPhoto can hold this kind of structure. Basically, albums within albums. I've tried to create a new one and move it inside an existing one and it doesn't seem to like that. Is one level the best iPhoto can do? If so, that is pathetic. The world is more complex than that. I am using iPhoto 2.0.1.
If it is possible, my extra credit question for whoever tackles this is "can I import the folder structure into iPhoto and keep the nested structure as a tree of albums?". Thanks.

iPhoto is for people who want a one-app solution for managing all their photos, preparing photo books, ordering prints, and preparing slide shows, and who are satisfied with two levels of storage hierarchy and very limited image editing options. This mostly means family snapshooters. You have a very primitive early version of iPhoto which was bundled at no cost with consumer Macs in its day. iPhoto 6 in particular offers much more organizational flexibility than previous versions, but it's by no means a professional photographer's tool.
I have nearly 100,000 photos stored on my computers. About 10,000 of them are in eight different iPhoto libraries. The best of my own work and my archives of historical photos are stored in folder hierarchies of my own design, not in iPhoto libraries, and I edit and sort them and prepare prints and presentations using them in Photoshop CS2, Adobe Bridge, GraphicConverter, ViewIt, and occasionally other apps.

Importing Facebook albums into iphoto.

Hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible to import my photo album names and details from Facebook into iphoto? I know I can go the other way and edit albums I have created in iphoto and then uploaded into Facebook. However, I cannot seem to add photos to albums that I created in Facebook via iphoto. For example, if I create an album in Facebook, I cannot seem to access this album in iphoto as I didn't create it within iphoto.

Please see my write-up and video tutorial on a solution to your question. I had the same need so I came up with this method.

Why won't album artwork import from a CD into Mac iTunes?

I used to have a Windows version of iTunes, and when I imported CDs, the album artwork was automatically added. However, now I'm using Mac iTunes on an iBook, and when I import the very same CDs, no album artwork is added on any of them. I've also noticed that when I transfer the archived songs from the Windows hard drive (via a flash drive) to the Mac iTunes, the artwork is there -- it's just not adding the artwork when I import the CDs directly into Mac iTunes. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Standard Audio CDs don't come with artwork.
Some recent CDs might, but I've never seen them.
I guess there was an iTunes plug-in or similar utility on your PC that searched for artwork and added it.
To add artwork on a Mac there are several scripts (www.dougscript.com) and programs that can find it for you.
Search on versiontracker.com for Clutter, iTunescool, Fetch Art

Can match identify my vinyl imported albums in I tunes. Also for it to work will I need to load all the album details. Obviously the iTunes Store needs to have the albums on line

Yes. Matching Songs in Vinyl Albums is possible, usually though with a success rate of 20 - 40%.
Even with great care taken to improve the quality of the recording, the outcome is mixed.
