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.

  • HT1473 iTunes sometimes seperates songs from the same cd into 2 different albums, from one disc.  how can I correct this?

    I've been adding cd's to iTunes on my Mac Book Pro.  Sometimes, it splits songs off of a single cd and treats these songs like a seperate album.  I've changed artist and album artist info, checked the compilation box, and burned the cd's a second (third, etc) time, but can't get the problem corrected.  Anyone else having these problems?  Some of the cd's are from the 80's and 90's, so that may be one reason for the difficulty.  Can't seem to find a correction.  I can create playlist of these cd's, but I'd like to have them as the album in their entirety.  So far, Bongo Fury by Zappa/Beefheart is giving me the most trouble; the first song always remains seperate from the other 8 songs.  The disc is from 1989.  Any ideas, anyone?

    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. This one sounds like a job for the trailing X method in Tried that, there are STILL too many covers!

  • ITunes separates songs from the same album

    when I import some CDs, iTunes doesn't recognize the songs as being part of the same album. How do I solve this?

    Hi there Luis,
    I would recommend that you review the process for importing CDs in iTunes 11 found in the article below.

  • Before we upgraded to IOS 6, we used to be able to share our calendar (my husband and I have the same carrier/acct.); but now we are not able.   Any suggestions on how to share the calendar?

    Before we upgrade to IOS 6, we used to be able to share our calanders.  We are no longer able, any ideas how to synch/share the calendar again?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. You can both use the same ID for the store login and share your music etc., and use different ID's to log in to iCloud, thereby keeping your calendars etc separate.

  • I restored my phone from a previous back up and now all my apps are gone. Any idea on how to get them back?

    I had liquid damage to my phone and had to receive a new one so I went home to restore it to its old settings from my back up on 5/8/11. I've had an iphone since 2008 so I have a lot of data and apps saved on to my computer, many of which I paid for. When my back up finished all my music, contacts, photos were restored but none of my apps. Can someone please help me get them back? Thank you!

    After you restore from backup, you MUST sync to restore your iTunes content. No iTunes content is included in the iPhone backup. Your apps should be in your iTunes library, just sync them back to your phone. If for some reason your apps are not in your library, you can re-download them for free:

  • When I copied my cd collection to my iTunes account, I use the view by CD option in the viewer. How can I get songs from the same album to show nder the same view, instead of making it a separate thing?

    How can i fix this problem with songs from the same album, not being organized under the same  when they are from the same CD?

    Thank you... just read up on iTunes Match.   That stinks, paying a yearly thing... but I understand everyone has to make a dollar.  I think I'm better off just picking the best songs out of my collection storing them on my computer or iPhone then selling my CD's to some used CD place.   If I ever really want to hear a song there are multiple options and if I want it... the .99 to 1.29 option is always there.
    Thank you for the information

  • Songs from the same album appearing as coming from different albums

    I am having trouble grouping multiple songs into one album. In my iTunes, there are songs from the same album that are appearing as from separate albums. For some reason, it is only happening in rare cases. It has randomly split The Roots' album How I Got Over into 3 separate albums, and it has split every Outkast song into individual albums.
    And yes, I have already tried the basic steps of selecting all the songs I want to group, and editing their info together. I have done this, and ticked every box in the info fields so they will be identical. Yet they are still appearing as songs coming from separate albums.
    Does anyone know what I can do? (I am using the current version of iTunes -- v9.2.0.61)

    Actually there is something else, more for the purists though.
    Some albums will have "featured" artists and they will be stuck into another part of the tag, but by doing that iTunes thinks it's another artist and treats it as a different album. A good fix that I use is to remove the featured artist and ammend it to the track name. So: "When You're Gone (feat. Mel C)" Is the actual track name instead of "When you're Gone" and the artist being "Mel C" and the album artist being "Bryan Adams". Make sense?
    By turning it into a compilation it will change where it appears on your iPod or whatever, basically it will be grouped with all other compilations, not where the artist should be.

  • How to keep songs from the same album together in the Walkman app?

    How do I keep songs from the same album together in one album instead of it being spilt up into three different albums? Is there any way to keep this from happening? I have all of the correct album information, but it still happens. I thought I would use Media Go and see if it helps but it never works properly. 
    Any suggestions would be much appreicated. 

    Make sure your Album information in mp3 tags is all the same in all tracks belonging to the same album.
    Clear the cache memory of Storage Media service
    https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/WALKMAN/Multiple-Song-and-playlist-appear/m-p/732329?sl=y&sso_no_log=...
    If, despite having the same album information in mp3 tags and clearing cache memory, you still get multiple entries or songs belonging to the same album are split into 2-3 albums, then I suggest an easy way.
    Use Winamp and create an *.m3u playlist in the same directory you have the mp3 files stored in your phone. This playlist will then appear in Playlists - My Playlists and you will be able to enjoy your music in correct order of tracks and all the tracks will be there.
    That is my method (using m3u Winamp playlists) simply because Walkman app does not respect the Track Number tag in mp3 files belonging to the same album and rather sorts the tracks within the same album based on Date Created.

  • Songs from the same album not grouped together

    Sometimes when I import songs from the same album, they do not show up grouped together. I will end up with several entries, with one or two songs each. Sometimes the correct album art is on each one, and sometimes not. How can I stop this from happening, and how can I correct it if it does?

  • On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to recognize Junk as you do on a Mac?

    I don't think so, you would need to set that on your browser when you log into your email account.

    you have to make sure that CFWD Bridge Mode under the Line tab of the SPA9000 where the SPA400 is registered is set to ALL...include VMSP Bridge and XFER Bridge Mode as well..power cycle then check if you are still getting one-way audio

    If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

  • ITunes puts dividing lines between songs from the same album...

    I can't stand it. I open the "get info" box, look at EVERY detail and the only difference is the names of the songs. I even select all of them, open "get info" and make SURE the details are all the same and hit "save". Yet iTunes seemingly haphazardly sets some tracks apart from the bulk of the album. WHY???? How can I fix this?

    I had the same issue with one CD (Niafunke, by Ali Farka Toure, if it matters): I found the solution here...
    http://www.technipages.com/itunes-album-songs-split-up-in-grid-view.html
    I selected all the tracks and then added a blank space (i.e. one click of the spacebar, rather than null) for "Album Artist"; that finally collected them all in one album, whereas before Track #01 had remained stubbornly separate, even though I'd checked every last bit of metadata to be the same.
    After it was all happily together, I re-set the "Album Artist" to null - what it'd been before! - thus restoring all the data to what it had been; yet now the album was unified.
    I have no idea WHY this worked - I'd checked "Album Artist" as totally empty again and again, but somehow giving it a positive value seemed to provide the necessary reset.
