My album is split up, how do i get it back together?

The more I try to put it back together, the more it splits up

In most cases, this is because different tracks have different artists (it might be a compilation album, or some tracks might have guest artists).
Select all the tracks, right-click->Get Info, and fill in the "Album Artist" with the same value for all tracks. This field is usually blank, but if it's filled in, it will override the "Artist" field and cause the tracks to be grouped together as an album. The Artist field will still be there, and will show up under individual tracks when you view the album (although I've found you need to restart iTunes for this to happen).
Note, in some cases, the most logical Album Artist is "Various Artists".
Of course, while you're at it, verify the Album name is the same for all tracks.

Some albums I put on my Mac to later sync with a Touch appears as seperate tracks and not a single album. How do I get them back together again other than a playlist. I do not want the tracks showing up as albums on the Touch?

Are your tracks pat of a collection? Different artists, but still one album? Then mark them a s acollection or set the album artist. See this guide on how to group separate tracks into albums:

TS3274 My keyboard moved to middle of page and is split. How do I get it back to bottom of screen?

My keyboard moved to middle of page and is split. How do I get it back to bottom of page?

Press and hold the 'keyboard' key at the bottom right of the keyboard and then select Dock and Merge from the popup.
If the keyboard becomes split at the bottom of the screen, or if you want to join it when it's undocked, then you can join the two halves together by using a finger on each half to drag them together (similarly you can then use two fingers to re-split the keyboard). If you don't want the option of a split keyboard then you can turn it off via Settings > General > Keyboard > Split Keyboard 'off'

When importing a cd it splits the album into separate individual tracks instead of 1 album with numerouse tracks - how do I get them all together

When I import a CD from the Apple Mac drive it splits the cd into numerous single tracks in itunes instead of 1 album with all the tracks. How can I get it to import to the one place. I did try importing the same cd on a friends apple mac to see if it did the same thing and it imported the cd as 1 album with all tracks in there so I can't understand why it's separating them all.

This happens mostly when you import a compilation or a CD that is not noted in the Gracenote Database.
How to change back in one Album:
Mark all titles of that album (shift or cmd click)
Right click and choose "Get info"
Fill in the wanted name in "Album" and "Album Artist*"
Drag&Drop the wanted Album Art to the little window down right in that pane.
iTunes group and sort albums by that two entry's in the info pane. If the CD is not listed in the database but the titels, iTunes split the album to fit the titles to eventually matching albums of the artists.
Cheers - Lupunus
* If you import a compilation, choose "various artits" for the Album Artist field.

Deleted an i-tune album from de library, how can I get it back?

Hello,
I recently bought an album in the i-tunes store but by mistake I deleted it from the library, thinking that it would still be kept in the purchased folder. Before that I downloaded the album to my i-pod but I cant work out how to get it back from the i-pod to the library or purchased folder. Can you help me? Or can I download the album from the i-tunes store again without extra charges? Thank you

Hi!
You deleted it from the library. Did you also delete it from the computer? Check your computer for files that end in .m4p Those are your purchased files. It is possible to remove something from the iTunes library without actually deleting the files.
If you did erase them, then there are instructions around here (search for iPod to iTunes, that should get you the instructions), or as mentioned, third party solutions on iLounge.
After you get the data back, consider making backups whenever your purchases get to the point that you would not want to buy them again. For me, that's pretty much whenever I buy an album

My albums seem to have come apart and are listed for each individual song in some cases how do I get them back together , In some cases only one or two songs have been seperated from the album.

In Itines my albums seem to have seperated and instead of all the songs being listed under the one Album nake the same album name has a few here and then again another few. All the sings are there but if I play an Album I only get somoe of the songs. Is there a way of putting them back together without repoading them from scratch?

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.

I synched my iphone and lost some purchased songs and albums. what happened and how do i get them back?

just a minute ago i connected my iphone to itunes so that i could transfer some albums i've purchased recently. it started it's usual synching process and once it was finished i found i'd lost more than a few recently purchased albums. not sure why or anything but i want them back!! how do i do so? please help!!

You don't. You buy one and only one download. it is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Use you backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

I deleted the U2 album and I hid the album in the cloud, how can I get it back

I was having problems opening the booklet so I deleted the entire album from my library and clicked on "hide this from the cloud" now I can't find it at all.... it never showed up in my purchased file either... help!

You should be able to unhide it by logging into your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.
You should then be able to download the album and its booklet via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage - downloading the booklet from there should work, when I downloaded it via the Music part of my library I got a corrupt message when trying to open it.

My iPad has a split typing keyboard near the top third of the screen. How do I get it back at the bottom and full?

My iPad's keyboard has jumped up to the top this of the screen and is split. How do I get it back to it's normal position at the bottom and one full keyboard?

Just to clarify this a little bit....
Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
If you don't want this feature - You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.

- Are the apps missing or are the icons white?
- If missing have yu tried using the Spotlight search and trying to find them?
- Have you tried downloading them on your iPad and then syncing?
- Have you tried deleting them on the computer and then syncing? That might also delete them from the iPad so you can redownal them
- Have you tried reetting the iPad?
Reset iPad: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

When I copy a CD onto my macbook pro I sometimes get several songs that are "out" of the album. How do I get them all together in one album? Any help will be much appreciated!

When I copy a CD onto my macbook pro I sometimes get several songs that are "out" of the album. How do I get them all together in one album? Any help will be much appreciated as I cannot seem to find the solution to this problem in the troubleshooting section of iTunes.

Generally all you need do is give tracks from the same album a common Album Artist. See Grouping tracks into albums. The images need an update but the basic info. still holds.

You can transfer contents from your iPhone back to iTunes library:
First, *BEFORE you connect the iPhone, please go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPad, iPhones and iPods"*.
Then, for those songs that you purchased on your iPhone: Transfer purchases from iPod to iTunes.
For all other non purchased contents (your photos etc), their are ton of third party programs, some is free: iDump, Floola. Some is shareware, but they does preserve playlist/ratings/playcounts/artworks etc: iCopyBot, CopyTrans

I no longer have any albums on ipad - where have they gone and how can I get them back.

I have "lost" my photo albums on the ipad. They were they and now they are gone. How can I get them back.
I have gone to choose albums to share and ticked the boxes and then "sync" and when I press the photos icon
on the ipad there is just a blank screen in the landscape position. HELP !!!

Albums are logical entries in the iPhoto database - you need to restore fromyour backup to get them back
