Music doesn't have 'albums' anymore, just playilists, composers, songs etc.. What have I done?
A few days ago I bought a new album, by mistake checked it in 'selected albums only' for sync - then only that album was on my iPhone. I reverted it back on iTunes to all music library, but instead of 'albums' in 'more' I have that one album... How do I change it - I like to select albums when listening to music!
You can control what is synced from your library to your iDevice very easily. When the device is connected, selected in the sidebar in iTunes (press Ctrl-S to enable the sidebar if you don't see it) then click on the Music tab. This gives a range of options from copying the whole library to restricting the sync operation to copy specific songs, albums, artists, or playlists. I find the last of these most useful, so that I can have one or more playlists that I can update so that their contents are synced the next time I connect a specific iDevice,
On your second issue, you should be aware that - unless you make some configuration changes:
each Windows user account on a PC has a separate iTunes library
any iDevice can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time - and when it detects a different library it'll remove any previously loaded media as part of the sync operation
Therefore, when you created a new Windows user you also created a new iTunes library, and even though you copied some content over your iPhone recognized the "user 2" library as new. Unless you want to reconfigure your PC to share library content between different user accounts (and though this can be done, its the whole library that's shared, not parts of it) your best bet is to switch back to the original user account and learn how better to control what is selected when you sync your iPhone.
If you see that there is:
music missing from your iTunes library that you think should be there, and/or
music on your iPhone that isn't in the library on the PC
report back - there are ways to address both situations.

New iTunes on Mac doesn't allow me anymore to select all songs and 'Get info' to adjust the volume, like the old one. It says"your selection contains more than one type of media". They are all songs! Help please!

Not true. Select "Kind" as a sort category by right clicking the headings
Then click to sort by Kind
If your Import Settings are for Apple Lossless, AIFF, AAC or whatever the majority of your files are, convert MP3s to that file type.
I've presently got 17,000+ files in my library, and they're ALL MP3 or M4B(Audiobooks). If they weren't when I got them, I converted them. Saves a LOT of hassels with just this type of situation. Besides I have two non Apple MP3 players that WON'T work with other file types besides MP3 so, EVERYTHING I have has to be MP3. -
I keep getting invalid signature when I try to downloand itunes 11.1. I have tried to just do a download and i have tried to change internet options to accept downloads without valid signature. but it still does not work. anyone have suggestions?
I just tested it (on 10.6.8) and it worked perfectly well, so it may be something on your computer. You could try creating a new user account on your Mac and using that to try downloading. You can then install on that account and it will be available on your normal one.

I bought a macbook pro as an open item in best buy and it doesn't come with garage ban, iMovie, iphoto, numbers, etc. what can I do?
it wouldnt come with numbers, only iphoto, imovie, and garageband. Have you tried this?
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications. -

Doesn't display album covers for individually selected songs. Why?
I just synced up my new iPod Classic and am surprised that it doesn't display album covers when I individually select songs or when it shuffles songs. The artwork is there - it displays them in Cover Flow or when I select songs from the Album list, but not when I select songs from the Song list or when it shuffles. Why not? Is there a setting I need to fix?
You're adding the artwork incorrectly.
Instead of selecting the first track of the album, select the complete album. Then select File/Get Info and answer "yes" to the "multpile items" question. The Artwork box is now on the Info tab instead of its own tab. Paste the artwork into that one box and that will add it to the whole album.
I can't be precise about the detail, but as far as I know, there will be one piece of artwork and iTunes and your iPod will refer to that one picture for each track, so it will not be taking up extra storage space.
Pasting the artwork into each track individually will drive you crazy - and I suspect it will take up extra space.
(If fellow "discussions user" tt2 adds to this post, I'm pretty sure he will confirm {or not if I'm wrong} what I've said about the extra space used if you paste into each track individually.) -
I am new to iTunes and am wondering if I can share iTunes with my family or do we just have to all purchase the same songs multiple times since our devices have different apple ID's. My iPhone was set up last year to one iTunes ID and I just got an iPad but it has a different apple ID. So I can't even share with myself! It seems stupid to have my husband and I both purchasing the same music.
There are two ways to share your content. The simplest is just to use homesharing. Simply set up homesharing on each device from the iTunes advanced menu (you need to use the same details on each computer), providing the computers are on the same network they should see each other and can be found in the list on the left hand side of the iTunes window.
The second way is to transfer the content to another computer, play it and authorise it to play content from that account by entering the original account password when prompted (this only needs doing once for each account, not for each tune) -
So, I bought a song on my ipod and it says it downloaded. When I checked my music on my ipod it wasn't there. I tried many different things with my Itunes, but it still isn't on my ipod... HELP.

i have about 100 songs itunes shows a ! next to it says cannot find please locate i can locate them under my music under my documents and when i do it plays in itunesbut that would take a kong time is there a faster way to fix this?and once i do fix this is there a way for this not to happen again?
Hello ryane84
There really is not a faster way to link the songs. You could get the info on the missing songs to see where they sit on your computer and just move the files there before. Then you can organize your library to move them in the iTunes library folder or another place of your choosing. To keep it form happening again, the article does have a section on what to do to keep it organized when new media is added.

I can't read a song because there is an exclamation mark before and iTunes request me to find the song somwhere i don't know where on my Mac ...
try this script:
iTunes Track CPR v1.3
This script attempts to locate the files of so-called "dead tracks"--iTunes tracks designated with (!)--that you assume are not actually missing but are still located in the iTunes Music folder in their "iTunes File Order" (Music -> Artist -> Album -> file.xxx)."
