ITunes is dividing my album into several albums - how remedy?

Hi,
Can someone help?
iTUnes is dividing my album into several albums. How can I merge them into one again?
Many thanks in advance!
Ove

It usually works to select all of them and put the check next to album # of # track of # (not the actual track #), album artist and any other information that should be the same across the album. this tends to work for me.

  • When i syn with itunes i get duplicate album, how do i resolve it ?

    How do you remove duplicate album and why doe it happen?

    I have a similar problem. When I sync my iPod classic with iTunes 10, I have several albums that wind up appearing on my iPod's album list anywhere from two to six times each. The albums all appear correctly in iTunes -- they're not split into multiple albums, each with a few tracks. It's a complete duplication of the album.
    For example, I have R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People album. It displays correctly in iTunes; I only see it once, all twelve tracks appear on a single album. When I sync to my iPod, I have three copies of the album, each with the same twelve tracks, same album art -- to all appearances completely identical to each other. I've removed the album from my sync list, gone through a sync, confirmed it was removed, then added it again with the same result -- three copies. I've removed the album from iTunes, synced, confirmed it was removed, then added it back into iTunes, synced again and once more, three copies of the album appear. I've made sure each track has their track number of total tracks, disc 1 of 1, checked through the sort tab -- I'm at a loss. I haven't found anything online to help at all.
    Any other suggestions?

  • My iphone is not showing up as a device in itunes when it is plugged into my computer, how do I fix this?

    I have tried restarting my computer and my iphone but this didn't help. My phone is connecting to the computer and it is showing up in my computer but it will not show up in itunes. I'm not sure what else to do. Please help.

    Right-click the Apple Mobile Device entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver Software. 
    Select "Browse my computer for driver software."
    Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
    Click the Have Disk button. Note: If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and then click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.
    Click the Browse button and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
    Click Open in the Have Disk window. Then, click Next and then Click Finish. Windows will install the driver.

  • ITunes splits songs from the same album into several albums, all sort fields appear to match. Any suggestions on how to put them in one album?

    iTunes sometimes splits songs from the same album into several albums, all sort fields appear to match. Any suggestions on how to return them to the proper album?

    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.
    N.B. Giving different things the same sort value (or indeed vice versa) tends to lead to trouble.

  • Itunes splits my CD album import into 4 folders instead of 1?

    I tried to import a CD album from my collection into itunes but instead of there being just 1 folder, itunes had broken the album down into 4 folders (1 folder with 10 of the albums tracks and the remaining 3 in individual folders); this results in itunes displaying 4 album covers for 1 album. Could you advise how to get around the problem? I've tried deleting the imported files and repeating the 'import' process but the same issue arises.

    itunes does this when the CDDB Gracenote database has the CD listed as a Compilation.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26495
    BEFORE you import the CD again, Get Info on all the tracks in the CD area.
    Right-click > Get Info and go to the Options tab.
    Uncheck the Compilations box, then import.
    Tell itunes to replace the copy you have now.
    Here is more info on that.

  • Hi, when I upload music into itunes from a cd it sometimes appears in itunes as two different albums and split up the music in 2 or even three albums....how can i merge these albums...this is particularly true when one album may have different composers?

    Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
    For compilations that aren't, select all tracks, Get Info, and on the option tab set Part of a Compilation to No. If it already says No tick the box alongside, then click OK.

  • With using any version of iTunes, whenever I import songs into my library using the "add to library" function, iTunes adds those songs in songs' alphabetical order. This is pretty annoying since it does not preserve the logical track number or album.

    With using any version of iTunes, whenever I import songs into my library using the "add to library" function, iTunes adds those songs in songs' alphabetical order. This is pretty annoying since it does not preserve the logical track number or even the album sort order (for example when adding 2 albums stored in a unique folder). Anyone has any ideas ? Been stumped for a while....!!!

    hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music'  then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

  • Could not get artwork for some albums.  I am not getting any artwork for Cd's imported into Itunes.  almost 400 albums and not one album artwork. what to do?

    cannot get artwork for some albums is the feedback I am trying to get when trying to get album artwork for Cd's imported into my itunes.  almost 400 Cd's  computer is seen processing the infor however not one album artworkcan be seen what to do?  

    Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Are your songs from Audio CDs or iTunes Store? If not you may need to manually find the album artwork for them as these songs may not be listed in the iTunes Store database for your region.
    iTunes: Album art may not download properly
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
    iTunes will only download album artwork for songs that it can find in the iTunes Store. iTunes will check each song in your iTunes library and attempt to match it up with a song in the iTunes Store. If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork from the iTunes Store and add it to the song in your iTunes library. If iTunes does not find a particular song's artwork in the iTunes Store, you will not see an alert message. iTunes simply does not download artwork for that song.

  • HT1711 When I load one of my own CD's onto itunes, it creates separate albums for each unique pairing (ie: singer/composer or singer/orchestra). How can I keep all the cuts together on one album?

    When I load one of my own cd's onto itunes, it creates separate albums for each unique pairing (ie: singer/composer or singer/orchestra). I end up with
    the cuts scattered over several albums.  How do I keep all the cuts on an album together rather than divided between several albums? I'm brand new with this technology, so I need your information in simple terms.  Thank-you.

    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.
    The site could do with updating as some options have changed with iTunes 11, but the principles are the same.

  • ITunes 12 syncing incorrect album artwork

    When syncing music from iTunes 12 to my iPhone 5s, several songs have incorrect album artwork. I have attempted completely deleting all music from my phone and reinstalling this content, however; this error is still occurring. The correct album artwork is appearing in iTunes.

    In certain cases where the same album title is used for more than one album or sort values are used to try to group different things together I have seen the artwork index on an iPod classic get out of sync so that say the 20th album shows the artwork from the 19th and the 50th from the 48th etc. Can't say I've noticed it on an iOS device, but this type of issue is fixed by populating tags consistently as described in Grouping tracks into albums.
    Assuming everything is otherwise correct in iTunes this method will normally sort things out.

    Restore as new device.
    Restore backup made earlier.

  • Sort albums by descending year - itunes unable to play album

    I prefer my albums to be displayed in itunes with the latest albums first.  So I use grid view albums and set 'sort by' to 'descending'.
    When i select an album to play it will play the first track but the track numbers are ALSO in descending order and when clicking next it doesn't play the next track.  If I go into the album and click next, the album ends because it thinks the first track of the album is the last. 
    This is because the track numberings are also in descending order. 
    Why would itunes do this?  Why are not these functions mutually exclusive?
    This is a major ridiculous flaw in itunes that doens't allow you to play your latest albums in order. 
    You are forced to have your 1967 classical album at the top of your itunes if you want to play your albums with the track numbers in order and all your latest albums down the bottom.   
    I'm sure this has been posted before, but any comments, suggestions, feedback from apple themselves, about this problem appreciated.   

    seems this is a problem people have complained about for years without any resolve to it.  Unbelievable.  2012 and you can't play your latest albums in itunes, hah, what a joke

  • How do I get Itunes to list an album in track order including ignoring featured artists

    I recently downloaded Daft Punk's new album after buying it on vinyl. after importing it to itunes, itunes wont list the album in track order. instead it lists the tracks in order per artists. example Daft punk, then Daft punk featuring Pharrel Williams ect...how do i get itunes to understand that they're all the same album and to list them in track order??
    thanks

    Hi bdm105!
    Most likely, this is happening because the Album Artist field is different for each song from Random Access Memories. We have an article about song grouping in iTunes, and it can be found here:
    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1468
    There are a couple ways to fix the information listed for Random Access Memories outlined in that article, but I want to point out one here:
    Albums in which all songs don't have the same Album Artist information
    iTunes 7 and later includes a new attribute for song files called Album Artist This allows you to assign a primary artist name for an album that many includes songs by several artists. It is important that all songs in the album have the same Album Artist name. To assign an Album Artist, select all the songs in the album and choose Get Infofrom the File menu. Next, type a name in the Album Artist field name such that it will apply to all the selected songs. This field can optionally be left blank if all the songs have the same album name.
    The Album Artist field is shown in the above picture, but it is not highlighted. You will also want to make sure the Track Number field contains the correct information for the album, and information on that field can be found here:
