Iphone 3g 2.1 music album creation issue?

Hi,
I just bought a new iphone 3g 2.1 and have installed the latest version of itunes 8. I am facing a few issues while trying to copy music from my computer(PC) to the iphone.
1. I have mp3 files collected over a period of time from various sources. Now I am able to get them onto my iphone and also play them but the files all happen to get created individually as music folders. I wanted to create two folders lets say Pop and Rock and add files to them manually.
2. The artwork shows up for every files. Can't I just have one art work for a album and then just that artwork is used for all files under that album?
Sorry, I tried searching the forums but did not find what I was looking for. Can you please help?
Thanks,

Try turning off location services. Under 2.0.x that used to kill my battery in a few hours.
One other thing that has appeared. If you have a wifi only mail server (i.e. one that cannot be accessed unless you are within wifi range of a specific network, i.e. your work wifi) then it will kill the battery doing fetch email as well when the phone is asleep (wifi is turned off when the phone sleeps leaving only your mobile phone providers data connection to get your email). This is because it will keep trying to setup a fetch connection over your phone providers data link and it keeps failing and retrying.
I had to do a clean re-install to upgrade to 2.1 because I had loads of problems with the upgrade. Now with email set to manual I can go 2-3 days without a recharge with usages of about an hour or 2 each day.

  • I have in my iphone more than 150 music albums .when i tried to sunchronise with itunes i lost some of them .how can i put them in my iphone without purchasing them again ??

    dear sirs ,
    i have in my iphone more than 150 music albums.when i tied to sunchronize my phone with the itunes i lost some of the albums ,how can i put them back into my iphone withou purchasing them again

    If you synced your iPhone with the same iTunes library on the same computer you have been syncing your iPhone with, not sure how some of the music was lost. If you tried to sync your iPhone with a different iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on your iPhone would have been erased first, not just some.
    All iTunes content on your iPhone including all music should be in your iTunes library on your computer.

  • Album Creation Issue

    Now, I'm sure that others are having this problem, but I thought I'd post anyways.
    I'm posting the albums in iWeb using the media palette. According to the instructions, I drag and drop the album and VOILA! However, this is hit or miss for me. About 75% of my desired albums have transferred fine but, the remaining do not. Instead, I get the default photo page. When I try to drag and drop the photos out of the palette and on to the page, I get the green circle with the plus sign and the red number telling me how many items I'm copying, but, again, nothing happens.
    Any thoughts?

    next time you sync try unselecting music and then sync it again with music selected

  • Iphone 6 and syncing music and movies issues

    I have tried multiple time to syncing my music and movies to my new iPhone 6 with iOS 8.02. I have an iMac with iOS 10.9.5 and iTunes 11.4. I am unable to sync my music or movies. All either do not sync to the iPhone or if they do I playlists are dropped and when I select a song another is played. I have tried reseting the phone and different sync settings. Nothing I have done or forum suggestions I have followed have worked.
    I have been using Macs and iPhones for years. This is the first time I have had this problem. The problem extends to my iPad 4 after updating to iOS 8.
    Seems to me that there is something seriously wrong with this software either iOS 8.02 alone or in combination with iTunes 11.4.
    I am beyond frustrated. This software update is a disaster.

    I had this problem - was driving me crazy. I tried many things including restores etc. The following solved it:
    Go into iTunes
    Open up your new iPhone on the tab in the top right corner
    In the Summary box - simply unclick "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    Click apply
    Then I was fixed!
    Good luck

  • IPhone Music Album Art DB is strangely huge

    I have an iPad and an iPhone. Both get music from the same source. Both take the tracks from my computer's library, downsize them to 128kps and there we are. However, the on-device Art Database sizes are very different and not in the way that makes sense. The size of the DB files was gathered using iPhone Explorer.
    iPad has 4225 tracks. Art database is 2408MB
    iPhone has 2334 tracks. Art database is 3104MB
    A vast majority of the iPad library and the iPhone library overlap, so there is ZERO reason why the iPhone art DB takes up more space than the iPad's, unless something else is stored there that I dont understand. There are more FILES in the iPad DB, but they are overall smaller files. Each iPhone DB file is 200-500 MB. iPad DB files can be between 12-500MB
    See the problem? Any thoughts? Any idea where I could direct this problem to, even? I just don't get it.

    I used ScareZebra's solution (iFunBox for mac) and it worked great to FINALLY fix this issue.    My library artwork was totally messed up, using mostly video image stills and other photos for album art and no amount of deleting or resyncing was working.
    It didn't seem to work right away, but after turning the phone OFF/ON* my artwork started refreshing and everything is perfect now.  I also added a step (directly deleting the artwork off of the phone, which I think may have been key to my particular situation)*.  Here were my steps.
    1.) Installed ifunbox for mac on my computer and launched
    2.) Plugged in iphone and navigated to RAW FILE SYSTEM/iTunes_Control/iTunes folder
    3.) Copied the following 3 files to my desktop (for backup, just in case), then DELETED from the phone: MediaLibrary.sqlitedb, MediaLibrary.sqlitedb-shm, MediaLibrary.sqlitedb-wal
    *4.) Copied the contents of the ARTWORK folder to my desktop for backup (just in case) then DELETED from the phone - Left the empty folder there
    *5.) Turned iphone OFF and then ON
    This worked and everything is back to normal.  I haven't noticed any issues. 
    Thanks for figuring this out ScareZebra!

  • I bought an album on my iPhone and it never transferred to my iTunes account. It has disappeared now and I'm not allowed to buy it again. How can I find my missing music album or have the option to purchase it again?

    Hello bubblegirl2,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your purchased album.
    First, I recommend trying to download the album from you list of past purchases.  Use the steps in the section titled "Download previous purchases on Mac or PC > iTunes Store" in the following article:
    Download past purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If you have tried those steps and still do not see the album, it may be that the album is hidden.  Follow the steps below in iTunes on your computer to check if it is hidden and unhide it:
    To unhide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    If you're not already signed in, choose Store > Sign in.
    Choose Store > View My Account. (You may be asked to enter your password again).
    On your Account Information summary, scroll down to the "iTunes in the Cloud" section and click Manage.
    Choose a content type by clicking Music, TV shows, Apps, or Books from the top.
    Click the Unhide button next to the item you would like to restore.
    Note: If the item you are unhiding is not already downloaded on your computer locally, it will begin downloading automatically.

  • I've just restored my new iphone 6 from my iCloud backup but only 2 of my music albums have been restored where are my missing albums

    II've just got an iphone 6 and set it up using my iCloud backup . Everything has restored perfectly except I've only got 2 of my music albums what has happened to the rest

    IIf you purchased them from iTunes then the missing albums May be in itunes on your computer. Make sure they are selected in the Music TSB and sync your iPhone. If you purchased them on your iPhone you can download them again. if you copied the missing albums from CDs that you own you should find the albums in your iTunes library.

  • How to delete music albums from iPhone

    How to delete music albums from iphone?

    They're DEFINITELY pushing Apple users that way. I just saw yet ANOTHER new/incredible feature the Galaxay can do that Apple (I mean Tim Cook) can't even DREAM about doing.
    At this point, it's becoming an embarrassement to even own an iPhone. *sigh*

    I purchased an album on my PC and then sync it to my iPhone but in my music library in my phone the song appeared twice. Also everytime I deleted the song from my phone and redownload the song from iTunes to the phone it reappears twice. How do I fix this problem?

    I've had the exact same problem, but with 72 songs that I can't get off of my phone!
    Also, I have the setting set so that my phone does not show music that has been purchase on iTunes but is not synced.
    Any ideas?

  • Music Album Art and Blackberry Link Issues

    I have been using blackberry for ages and have never had an issue with the media sync, it normally has worked properly. i had the z10 when it came out and syncing my music via blackberry link had worked well also, music album art showed up on my device. However, since getting my blackberry Q10 this has all changed.
    1) I use a macbook pro
    2) I have the most up to date version of bb link
    3) I use a 16gb memory card 
    In the past two weeks since i have got the Q10, i have never once been able to get my music album art unto the the device, i have formatted the memory card over 10 times, i even went as far as doing a security wipe of the device itself. i have also gone into the file manager settings and and cleared the music folders, no joy!!
    PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS!!! I used to love my music on blackberry especially with my album art which showed on the Z10 so why isn't it showing on the q10. i don't have the z10 anymore to check. 
    Futhermore now when i try to sync music on the bb link some song are not even being transferred unto the device as if it just randomly selects the music it puts on the device.

    Well, finally someone in the same boat as me. I use a Pc with windows 7. I previously had a Z10, switched to a Q10, with the same issues on both phones. Sometimes the artwork would show up, often adding a new song would corrupt all the artwork. I've even retagged all my mp3's, by wiping the metadata and reinserting the tags. No luck. I've formatted my phone, memory card, everything.
    Ironically, the same memory card inserted into my old Bold 9900 and 9700 work fine, displaying all the artwork correctly.
    I have spent hours, maybe even DAYS trying to fix this horrible problem. Someone help us!!!
    I should add that now all of my albums are in individual folders, completely correctly named, with the latest ID3 tags. Even bypassing BlackBerry Link, and just using USB mass storage mode doesn't change things.

  • Why are some of my music albums not displaying on the iPhone 4S?

    I updated my iPhone 4S software to iOS 6. After it finished updating, I noticed that majority of my music albums aren't displaying, but, when I play any song the album artwork is there. Is there a way for me to fix this on my iPhone itself? Because I don't have a computer anymore. Everything is bought via my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated! All I want is for all my music albums to display the artwork covers. Thank you in advance! =)

    Anyone? =/

    All your media should be in your library, and backed up too. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
