Mixed up albums

I have recently loaded iTunes and am trying to import albums from my PC. Almost every time I do import my albums get split up into one or more tracks in one or more albums of the same title. I want all the tracks for a particular album to be in that album. I have checked to see if the tracks have the same album name and artist but even when it seems that this is correct I still have the same problem. It has even happened when I have imported complete albums direct from a CD!
Can someone please help as I am about to buy a Ipod Classic but do not want to add this jumble of albums and tracks!

  • Photo after syncing are mixed into album

    I've more than 3000 photos on my PC (windows 7) organized in several folder, all at the same level.
    After syncing these photos with iTunes (vers. 10.5.3.3) on iPAD (not jailbroken !)
    i've found that in some albums photos are not the same in the corrisponding folder on PC.
    Photos are mixed between album.
    Do I expect a new version of the Apple app? or do I bought a 3rd parties app? do You know some one with better performance?
    Why a bug so big in a product so good?
    This is not the only a my problem, also a friend of mine with an iPAD 2 has the same problem.
    Thansk for answer and/or suggestion.

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over into the correct albums - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • I downloaded 2 albums and it mixed the album songs together

  • Mixed up album art in iPhone's iPod

    When viewing albums in Coverflow the album art is all correct. However whenever I flip the phone around some random album art is shown in place of the correct one.
    Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas? I am working on re-syncing my music (which takes forever by the way) to see if that fixes it.

    Although this discussion is a bit old I think it's still worth answering it as google points to this page.
    The only reason for the above to happen (Different cover art appearing in horizontal and vertical) I can think of is that Iphone Cover Flow is an Album Art only.
    iPhone and iTunes has at least two modes to display your music in that is:
    * Song mode - where tune's art is pulled from the file if any exists.
    * Album mode - where album art is shared by multiple tunes with the same "ALBUM NAME".
    So if many of the songs has no ALBUM NAME at all or share something like Unknown etc. It's is likely that in Cover Flow Mode (Which is Album View) those will have some strange things displayed.
    On the other hand I currently have slightly different problem hence my search. My Art is mixed up especially among the podcasts. Totally... I'll try full resync.
    BTW. If you got the Art in one way or another but after uploading the tunes to iPhone you don't see it it's likely that you downloaded Art only for one of them and iTunes is showing that one for all that share the album name. If you get the art from iTunes Store then Highlight all tunes that should contain the art and right-click>Get Album Artwork, otherwise Get Info and double-click on the Artwork field on the right-hand side.

  • Mixed up album art on Iphone 5

    I have recently backed up my Iphone to my computer, this was successful and my music is now stored on my computer. The problem is that the album art is all mixed up so when I play a song it shows a picture from a completely different song which is really irritating! can this be solved?

  • Mixed CD album photos on ipod touch

    The photos of CDs are ok on my i-tunes but on i-pod everthing is mixed and the photos do not correspond to the albums.
    I have made several synchronizations but no result.
    A solution?

    it has to do with the 2.2 update
    it happend to me too, so i had to manually fix them
    like if my ipod showed the worng art on the wrong album, i would take the original picture and delte it
    EXAMPLE
    there was a picture of eazy e on tupac's :"pacs life"
    so i deleted the pic of eazy e and then the tupac album had theright pic.

  • Purchasing a mix (gapless) album on itunes?

    will a complete mix album (gapless as on the original cd) be gapless if bought via itunes?

    Possibly you might have to change the tracks to have "part of a gapless album" checked off, but I'd hope Apple already set that up for you.

  • Genius Mix show Album Cover art but cannot get to play....

    Hello Everyone,
    I've turned on Genius and now have 12 Genius Mixes showing on the page. If I mouse over the image the play arrow shows and when I double click to play, iTunes shows are favourite little wheel for a minute or so and then the wheel disappears without any music playing. I must be doing something wrong but cannot see my error.
    How do I get these new mixes to play? Many thanks, in advance.
    Warren

    Hey Warren,
    I had this problem too. Just go to your library, make sure you check all the songs that you have (or at least those that you want genius to use). It has that problem you described when you don't check (or tick) all the songs.
    Just select all the songs and check all of them. Should be up and working right away.
    Hope it works!

  • Mixed up album art?

    After I synced two of my albums are having issues. The art is art from other songs I have on my iPod. When I am viewing all my albums it is fine but when I select the album the art is wrong. It is also wrong when the music is playing. It only happened to two of my albums and I don't understand why. Any help would be appreciated i really would like this fixed. I don't like the art that replaced it.

    That happens sometimes

  • Home Sharing Music - mixed up albums/missing albums on ipad

    It drives me nuts that having spent hours upon hours putting old CDs onto my itunes account, I am unable to see them all properly on my ipad when using home sharing. I like to view them as albums (prefer to be able to see the album cover) yet only a limited number appear and even then some of those aren't what they say they are. Is there a fix to this at all? any advice much appreciated.

    Unfortunately I don't think it is as everything is tagged fine on my laptop (iTunes account) it just gets jumbled up when home sharing on my iPad.
    I've tried signing in and out with my apple ID on the iPad (as per some suggestions) and it did help but hasn't fully solved the problem.

  • Why are only the albums i purchased from itunes only visable on my Apple, but all are visable on my ipad

    On itunes I have a mix of albums I purcahesd from itunes, and those uploaded from original CD's. I now have an Apple TV with itunes match, but only when the computer and itunes are on, are all albums are visable and playable on the Apple Tv. When itunes and computer is off, only albums purchased from itunes are visable in my music on the Apple TV. However, on my iPad, all albums are visable and playable, (cloud icon with down arrow next to track). I am on home sharing, and I thought Match would alllow playing of albums without the computer and itunes running, as on the iPad. I must have missed something somewhere? so a hit of guidance required plesase.Thanks

    Hi again. Yes I did try turning match on and off both in the Apple Tv and itunes several time to no availaile.
    However!!! I turned off home sharing and Match on itunes and shut it down. On the Apple TV I did a complete restart, which led to a lengthy period to carry out an upgrade. once completed I set up the Apple TV turned on Match, and lo and behold all the albums now appear in My Music!. Also confirm they are on computers by turning on itunes and home sharing and match. Everything appears to be OK now.
