Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields. If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

How do I merge two valid, purchased iTunes accounts into one so all my music is in same account?

I have two valid, purchasd iTunes accounts. Older iPod has some great music, I just got a new iPad and set up second iTunes account, bought some more iTunes items for that account. Just discovered iCloud. Now I want to put all my music from both accounts onto the cloud so I can access it on all my apple devices. Can't seem to add from one account to the other. Can sign onto the new account wiht my old iPod, but it will not let me sync without erasing all the music on the device. How can I merge these two accounts into one?
PS Makes you wonder how helpful support is when the usernames "Frustrated," "really frustrated," and "Help!!!!" are all taken...lol

You cannot. iTunes pruchases remian tied to the account they were purchased with.

Why?
Remove your info from new account, update old account as needed and use that.

I have Photoshop CS 6 on my Mac computer. I want to bring a series of photos together into one image without any space between images, does anyone know how to this? Ideally I would like to this manually.
The reason I ask in my ealier verion of Photoshop, CS3, there was a manual alignment feature when using 'Photo Merge' feature, undr which you could manual alignment photographs if you wanted to, and I do in this instance. This feature was removed in subsequent versions of Photoshop CS 4,5, and 6.

Sean, Batch resize them all to the samne size, load as layers, increase Canvas size, and the layers will 'snap' together with the Move tool. You'll be able to use the alignment tools in the Options bar when the Move tool is selected. You will also be able to use the 'Auto select layer' feature in the Options bar to make it easier grabing the right layer.
Otherwise, get hold of Contact Sheet 2. Still resize all the images to the same size, and set the gap to zero, and turn titles off. Please note this is from memory, and it is years sonce I last used Contact Sheet.

HT1819 [Podcast] mix all the imported mp3 files into one Album

Dear Sir,
I need your help of the app [Podcast].
Let me explain my problem.
I enjoying listening to Audiobooks very much.
Everytime I use the iTunes to import some mp3 stories into my iPhone, then change their properties from MUSIC to AUDIOBOOKS. Because I like the convenience of the very two buttons ( 15 seconds of fast backward jumping, and 15 seconds of forward jumping).
But I cannot easily delete those mp3 files that I've just heard. The only way is to erase the whole album in SETTINGS. (I have a bad memory, always forgot which one that I have heard)
Then, I found the app [Podcast], it has all the functions that I need:
one, 15 seconds of fast backward & farward jumping;
two, very convenient (sleeping) timer function;
three, I can easily delete each mp3 file that I've just heard so I know where CAN I continue.
So, I love the app [Podcast], from then on, through the iTunes, I change the properties of my mp3 stories from MUSIC to PODCASTS. It's very easy to operate.
But, then I found something strange: the app [Podcast] mixes every mp3 files together,into one ALBUM, in spite of the ALBUM informations that I defined in EACH mp3 tags.
The app [Music] can classify each ALBUM of those imported AUDIOBOOKS, why can't [Podcast]?
Could you please show me what to do?
Thank you very much.
Yours,
ZJH

This is EXACTLY my problem....and I am disheartened that there is NO reply with fix for this. I need to find another app to use. I like to use the podcast app for audio files so I can listen to them in 1.5x or 2x speed. Frustrated....

CAN I PUT ALL MY FOLDERS AND INFO IN ONE MASTER FOLDER SO THAT IT'S EASY TO BACKUP PERIODICALLY?

Hello,
I thought of a solution to backing my files up in a quick way instead of having to look around all over my hard drive to drag my music, photos, documents, etc into my external hard drives for backup. (which is the current method I use)
Id like to know if there would be any downsides simply putting all of the information like: music, documents, photos, videos and downloads (not including Applications) into one unique file.
I am trying to avoid using Time Machine and backup Applications. I understand you can also program hard drives to mirror each other, but I belive my current external hard drives do not support this.
The question is basically: could it be harmful in any to store ALL(or as much) of your info that requires periodic backup into one master folder? Or does anyone know of any rule that may go against this solution?
Thanks beforehand for the feedback.
Emmi.

Yes.
A long time ago Apple did not force users into keeping their files in specifed locations, such as music in the Music folder, movies in the Movies folder etc. However, iTunes, iMovie, iPhoto all have evolved to the point that Apple has made it difficult for us to do anything other than follow their recommended locations.
There are certainly ways around this - you can specify alternate locations for your iTunes Library and your iPhoto Library for instance, but you will be swimming against the tide. This will undoubtedly cause problems that will be difficult to diagnose because you will be a lone outlier, attempting to circumvent Apple's preferred organizational method.
I understand that you do not want to use Time Machine, but again this is Apple's recommended (if arguably heavy-handed) way of doing things. You can easily configure Time Machine to exclude folders that you do not want it to back up. If Time Machine does not address your needs, then consider Carbon Copy Cloner. It can also be customized to back up only those folders you specify: music, documents, photos, videos and downloads if that is your wish, and it can perform on a schedule.
I believe you will find it more convenient - and assure you it will be much less likely to cause difficulty - than what you propose.

HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account. An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state). If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

How do I put all the episodes from a TV show into one iTunes folder?

Can someone tell me how to put all the episodes from a TV show into one folder? I'm not sure how I did this, but while converting my dvd's to digital on my computer, one TV show (Firefly) created one folder with the Firefly name, and within that folder are all the episodes. I've tried to recreate this with MASH, but it just puts each episode into the TV library. This gets very messy with alot of different TV shows. Help! Thanks!!

In principle TV Shows are grouped on the Show field and within a show sub-grouped on Season No. In practice recent builds of iTunes and/or Apple TV firmware seem to be taking account of Album, Artist & Album Artist in certain views. For consistency I would suggest the following approach:
Show = Album = <Show Name>
e.g. "30 Rock"
Artist = Album Artist = <Show Name> Cast (or something like that)
e.g. "30 Rock Cast"
Season No. = <Season No.> or <Blank> (Separate seasons or all listed together)
e.g. 1-3
Episode ID = s##e## (This field, sorted alphabetically, controls order)
e.g. s01e01 - s03e58 (use s##e### when >99 episodes)
Episode No. = Track No. = <Absolute Episode No.>
(Can also be per season, but abs. is better) e.g. 1 - 58
Disc No. = <Season No.> (Can be set even if merging seasons)
e.g. 1-3
Taking this approach you can always merge or split into individual seasons simply by clearing or setting the Season No. field.

How can I stop iPhoto from grouping each month's Photo Stream into one huge event?

My iPhoto preferences are set to split events up based on 2-hour time periods. But photos that enter my iPhoto library via Photo Stream (basically all photos from my iPhone) get grouped into one big monthly event (i.e. titled something like "Jun 2012 Photo Stream"), which I then have to manually break up into smaller, more meaningful events.
Does anyone know of a way to make this behaviour stop? I'd prefer that iPhoto follow the preferences I have set, which is to break up events based on 2-hour time spans.

The problem is that every import is at least one new Event, and so it's quite possible that you could have 1,000 new Events every month thanks to Phootstream.
However, it's not such a huge deal to just select the Event at the end of the month and auto-split it (in the Events menu)

How do I put all my seperate video files into one DVD?

Hey friends,
Toby here again, thanks so much for giving me hint to the scroll bar, I've finished putting the audio into the video as well as the effects.
Which means my movie's almost complete!
However, while I await the music from my composers to be completed to put in the film for story-telling depth, I need help again.
I have edited my movie into four seperate windows with this program, and I'm currently trying to figure out how I can put all of it together or all of it into one DVD because I need to watch and make sure the footage's video matches with the audio so it doesn't seem like a Godzilla dubbing or something.
Give me as much suggestions as you could possibly give me, and thank you kindly for your time!
-Toby

Since you said DVD, I assume you're working in standard rather than hi-def video.
As I show you in my books:
1) Share/Computer/AVI with the DV preset to output each of your segments as a DV-AVI.
2) Open a new project using the standard DV project settings.
3) Import all of the segments and combine them on the timeline.
Just as a note, a DVD can hold about 70 minutes of video at full quality. If you're video is longer than that, it's probably a good idea to spread it out over two or more discs.

Merging multiples of the same photo into one

I remember reading a couple tutorials on how to do this weeks ago, but now i cannot seem to remember what to search for to find a tutorial on this.
I multiple photos, its the same location (tripod) with me in a different position in each frame. I want to merge each frame into one picture so in one picture there are multiples of myself in different positions.
thanks!

You'll have to use File->Scripts->Load Files into Stack to load all the images into a single document, each on it's own layer, select all the layers and go to Edit->Auto-Align Layers. If all went well then you should be able to achieve your effect using a couple of simple layer masks

How to locate all iTunes libraries and condense into one?

Last fall I did multiple backups of my iTunes library, along with random music folders. I reloaded my OS X and it seems didn't restore my iTunes folder correctly.
What is going to be the most efficient way for me to:
1: Locate all my libraries (two backups with one being Time Machine)
2: Place them all together in a Master iTunes library?
I'm frustrated wondering if I've lost a big file of music!
I see there's been other queries similar to my problem but the ones I read were dating back a number of years ago...
Thanks for any help.

In your case unless you want things to get very messy very quickly the best thing is to choose which library you want as your starting copy, then add any media files you think are not in that library from the media folder used by the other backup. If you want hugely messy you add all media files just to be safe and then spend a week or two sorting out the duplicates one by one. If you want immensely, hugely messy you do the former and import the other library file into the first one and sort out all the duplicate playlists created in doing so as well as all the duplicate media files. I mean for me I know yesterday's backup is last week's backup plus new media plus changes I have made, so I don't really need last week's backup unless yesterday's backup drive has fried. I only really need one or the other.
