Is there a way to associate the same song with two different albums?

Here's what I would like to do if it's possible. I recently purchased Mothership, the Led Zeppelin compilation album. That album has about 4 songs from Led Zeppelin 4. I'm hoping I could purchase the remaining songs from Zeppelin 4, then somehow copy the 4 songs from Mothership over and associate them with Zeppelin 4 to complete the album, yet still keeping them as a part of the Mothership collection. I don't really want to re-purchase those 4 songs again. Is this do-able?

Hello - What I would do is this: (forgive me for being thorough..) And this would ony work with physical store-bought CDs:
1) insert cd & wait for iTunes to open;
2) then, close iTunes
3) double-click on the cd icon, figure out which track(s) you want, then select them & option-drag to make a copy of them on the desktop.
4) IF iTunes already "named" the songs, click on each song and change the name to something else (i.e. track 01 or whatever)
5) drag this "nameless" track into iTunes and then drag the songs into the playlist where you want the duplicate of the song.
6) now that the nameless song is in the new playlist, go ahead and give it its correct name, artist, album, etc.
I think this should work. Forgive me again for being overly simplistic. Hope it works.

Is there a way to overwrite the ORIGINAL songs with my iTunes library info?

Hi there,
I would like to know if there is a way to overwrite the original songs with my iTunes library info? What I mean is, I have MANY songs that I have transferred to iTunes (and were obviously not purchased from iTunes) and I always put the info (such as the album name, the album art, artist, composer, etc.) and it leaves the original song (like the songs that are in "My music" section that is in "My Documents") with the same info. For example : The song that I put into the library will be "chamiionaire feastureing flip"... and in the iTunes, I put it as "Chamillionaire ft. Lil Flip". How do I make it so that it replaces the "original" info (located in my documents) with the info I put in?

Same question. Used to have an iPod. Lost it (best digital player ever), now I use other portable device. The mp3 files have their id3tag edited in the original file, but the .m4a don't!.
Want to know someway to write the info from the library to the original .m4a files.

Can you have the same song on 2 different albums ?

I would like to use the same track on 2 different albums.
For example, one track on the original album and the same track on my own compilation album.
One way would be to make two copies of the track and call them different names.
e.g. UseSomebody1.mp3 and UseSomebody2.mp3, then these two tracks can be added to the library.
But this seems a waste of space.
I have an existing compilation album with odds and sods of my own tracks. But I want to pick and choose a few tracks from other albums and add to my existing compilation album.
I know about playlists but this isnt the ideal solution either, because I have an existing compilation album already and I want the album to be in the main library (i.e. not have to go thru the playlist menu on the iPod).
I just wondered if there was a way of having 2 seperate tracks in iTunes that point to the same file.

I made a copy of this mp3 file on my desktop and called it "Kids_MGMT.mp3"
I added the file to library but the second copy does not appear, even after a refresh and a search.
Find the original library entry and change something in the metadata, e.g. add an Album Artist even if you don't need it. Then go back to the renamed copy and move it into your iTunes folder at an appropriate location, right-click the file, and choose Open With > iTunes. It will immediately show as a separate library entry.

How do i make the same song have two different genre

how do i make the same song have 2 different genre for 2 different playlist?

In my example, we will create a Smart Playlist that includes all songs in the genre Acid Jazz and one extra song that has the genre of Afro-beat. That extra song will be "Music For Gong Gong". To create your Smart Playlist, substitute the genre types and the song title (anything with < > around it) for the ones you want.
In your iTunes Library, either click on the + symbol in the lower left corner of iTunes playlists, or click CTRL+ALT+N to create a New Smart Playlist. The following will appear (my orange numbering):
1. Using the drop-down menus, change "Artist" to Genre, "contains" to is and in the text box (marked 1) type in the text <Acid Jazz> (remember to chose the genre you want, and with the exact spelling used for that genre in your library - don't type in the < > obviously!)
2. Click on the + symbol at the end of that line (marked 2), which creates an additional line
3. In this new line, change "Artist" to Grouping, change "contains" to is and in the text box type in <Acid Jazz> (Notice that I have used the same name as the genre itself. You don''t have to, but it makes it easier to add those extra songs. You'll understand why in step 7.) You now have a box like this:
4. Change the Match rule at the top (notice it has already changed in the two screenshots above) to any. This is a crucial step, do not forget it.
5. Notice that I have also selected Match only ticked items. This is optional, but selecting it will exclude songs that have been unticked. If you use Sync only ticked songs and videos, this can be useful way of keeping the Playlist the same as the one on your device.
6. Click the OK button. You now have the opportunity to name your Playlist. I have chosen <Genre is Acid Jazz +> so that it is obvious what it is.
So that's the Playlist created. As you can see, <Genre is Acid Jazz +> has 89 songs in it and I can assure you that's how many songs are in the Acid Jazz genre section. Now, all that remains is to add the additional song.
7. Find your "two-genre" song and click File/Get Info/Info (or CTRL+I - that's an "eye") to bring up the edit song option. In the Grouping field, type in <Acid Jazz> (remember to use the same text you used in the Grouping box in step 3. This means you only have to type in the same genre name to the Grouping box, to get it into that particular Playlist. I mentioned this in step 3).
Notice that we are not changing the Genre. Click the OK button.
Now look at the Playlist <Genre is Acid Jazz +> again.
Notice that is now has 90 songs and at number 60 is the <Music For Gong Gong>. Note that the genre for that song is still Afro-beat, so the song still appears in the genre Afro-beat as well.
To add any other song to this particular two-genre Playlist, simply find the song in your Library and type <Acid Jazz> into the Grouping box, as in step 7. It's that simple!
Here's an extra tip. Too many Playlists and having issues finding your way through them?
I have renamed the Playlist Genre is Acid Jazz + so that it is now named Acid Jazz Plus and I've dropped it into a Playlists Folder named GENRES (capitals makes it easy to find the folders on iDevices).
Notice that here in iTunes, Playlists are sorted in the following order:
Playlist Folders (and then the Smart Playlists and Regular Playlists inside it)
Smart Playlists
Regular Playlists
... but on my iPod Classic (for example), they are sorted in alphabetical order. So to find the Playlist Acid Jazz Plus, go into the Playlists menu and scroll down to G, go into GENRES, and in there will be Acid Jazz Plus, with all 90 songs!
I hope you will give this a try, you have nothing to lose but a little time. Let us (all) know how you get on with it. We'd like to know.

TS2972 I have multiple libraries on the "same computer" with two different desktops, can't I share between two libraries on the same computer?

I'm trying to use home sharing to share content between libraries so some of the combined content in a given library, can be synced to an ipad. Instad of having mulitple computers, i have multiple libraries on the same computer using two desktops. How do I share within the same computer?

iTunes must be running for home sharing to work. There is no way to have home sharing running simultaniously for two users on the same computer.
Simply add the media files using File > Add File/Folder option in iTunes.

Can I put the same songs on two different ipods?

My first ipod mini got stolen last week, and a new mini is on the way now. Most of my cds that I used before are unaccessible and I want to have all of the same songs on iPod #2 as I did on the first one. Is that possible? How? Thanks a lot. (I'm sort of new to this)
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Well assuming the songs are in your iTunes library, then you just connect the new iPod and the songs will be transferred automatically as this is the default setting.
It really is that easy!

Can two people use the same computer with two different ipods?

I was just wondering if me and my mother can use the same computer with our ipods?

Glad you asked. Before you get rid of the old one move its iTunes Library to the new one:

"Deauthorize" the old computer too. Go to the iTunes Store menu and select "Deauthorize This Computer..."
I hope you get a Mac this time

If I open the same document with two different apps on my iPhone does the document get saved twice?

For example, I chose to open a .pdf document I received as an attachment with Adobe Reader or iBooks, and now the document is available anytime I open Adobe Reader or iBooks. My question is if these applications are able to open the document anytime they want then the document must be available somewhere on the device, where do they get saved? And do they get saved twice if I opened the same document once with iBooks and once with Adobe Reader?

HT204380 Is there a way of using the same FaceTime account on multiple devices?

Is there a way of using the same FaceTime account on multiple devices?

Yes you can use the same Apple ID on multiple devices and FaceTime with each one. You have to associate a different email address on all but one of the devices.
Lets say you have two iPads and two iPods..... All sharing the same Apple ID. When you set up FaceTime on three of the devices, you have to associate another mail address in Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached for Video calls at>Add Another email address. Add a different email address in that setting and let Apple verify the address.
After that email address has been verified by Apple (they send you an email to that address so look for it in the inboxes of that email account and follow the instructions in the email), then remove the Apple ID email address on each of those three devices. You can use the primary Apple ID email on the fourth device.
Obviously, you have to have additional email addresses but you can set up free email accounts with AOL, Yahoo, gmail .... and you can use the email address just for FaceTime if you like.

Does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

Several ways to get similar results. Image > Adjustments > Posturize with low values similar to what you'd use n Cutout. This is the most flexible way I can think of as you keep the image in RGB mode with layers intact. A more radical approach would be to reduce bit depth using Indexed Colour. You'll need to experiment with settings, try changing Forced to Primaries, and Matte to Foreground Color. There's no going back from this route, although you can change the mode back to RGB to re-enable layers, adjustment layers etc.
A nice thing about the Filter gallery filters is that you can change the layer to a Smart object with all the control that gives you.
Now if only this forum could filter out bizarre content.

Is there a way to print the check register with the Text field

Hi,
Is there a way to print the check register with the Text field and also each item's Text field?"
When we enter a invoice we enter a generic text on the Basic Data tab then enter a "+" on each individual line item which in turns defaults to the generic text. Just wanted to know if the check register could draw in the individual line item detail where we can enter text that relates to just that line item. Sort of like the MIR7 draws in the detail for each item.
Kindly help me in full fill the above requirement.
Thanks
Sunitha

Is there a way to change the icon associated with icloud account?

Is there a way to change the icon associated with my iCloud account? It's currently a rose and i do not like it.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Are you referring to your iCloud account picture or your user picture?
It looks like you are referring to your user picture. To change it, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, press the picture box and choose the user picture you want from the ones that came by default. If you want to select a different picture stored on your Mac, drag that photo onto the picture box.
If you want to change your iCloud account picture, open http://www.icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. Then, press your name at the top right of the site and press the user picture. If you put the cursor on the picture box, you will see a button at the top of the box to change your picture
