TS1468 When I change the album artist name it changes the order of songs, how do I stop this?

The songs downloaded to my iTunes on my Macbook Pro by CD have divided into different albums. Now I have put them into the same album by changing the Album Artist in File- Get Info but the song order changes; this is a problem as a lot of these albums are from Musical Theatre shows and the songs need to be in chronological order to make sense! Please tell me how I can put them into the same album and also keep them in the same order as on the CD.

For a full run down see Grouping tracks into albums. Generally to control the order of tracks within an album you need to use appropriate disc and track numbers. You may also need to change the sort column for the view.

Films - Movies not Working or corrupted in iTunes after changing the album artwork

After trying to change the album artwork for some movies I own, I realized that such movie unplayable after such change and I cannot even revert what I have done. More, it seems like if you press on the "get info" section of the movie, you will notice that the artwork tab is gone and therefore, it’s like the movie is corrupted after changing the artwork. Any ideas? Has anyone encountered this before?

Just checked and I have the updated itunes 8.0.1 with the poster frame problem.
I finally found a fix for the movie album artwork problem.
After realizing several movies had the same poster frame as one of the movies. I deleted the movie with the common poster frame which had been copied to other movies. The other poster frames changed on the other movies because they no longer had a reference to the file from which the poster frame was copied. So I copied the deleted movie back into itunes and then got to thinking that perhaps there is something else in common with the movies which displayed the same poster frame. I found that I had set the album field to the same title. So I changed the album field file by file, to something else. Then I set the poster frame after playing a few seconds of the video at a point where I wanted the frame set to the current frame. I got a film icon on the movie icon for a few seconds while it changed it. Sometimes I had to repeat selecting the different poster frames for each movie because it didn't take the first time... the second time I selected a different poster frame it was then set to the first poster frame that I selected. So now the movies which all had the same album "Aviation" now are all changed to "Flight Training" Of course, now the poster frames for those movies are all the same poster frame but at least they are correct for the type of movie.
So if the album name is set to the same thing on several different movies they will all have the same poster frame.

If I change the Album Name, the Album Column still sorts by the old name even the new name is listed.

If I change the Album Name, the Album Colum still sorts the song by the old name even though it shows the new changed name.
This happens for a song I bought from the iTunes Store. When I change the Album Name on songs read in from CDs, it sorts by
the Album Name which I edit.

Changing file or folder names by hand makes iTunes loose contact with the files. You shouldn't do this. If the files are stored inside the iTunes Media folder and you have the option "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" enabled then files with move around as you edit their tags. If they are stored elsewhere, or that option isn't selected, then if you want to rename the files you need to remove and then reimport, or manually reconnect each track one by one.
Select all of the tracks of the album, press Ctrl+I to Get Info, select the Sorting tab, delete the contents of any of the Sort fields, click OK. This should resolve the sorting issue.

Why can''t I change the album or artist on my Ipod?

After I just recently updated my Ipod whenever I add a song but I want to change the artist or album it allows me to on Itunes but it stays the same on my Ipod. How can I fix this?

Try deleting or unsyncing the song(s) from the iPod and resyncing.
Next would be a restore from backup
Your problem is not uncommon after the update to iOS 5.

How do you change the album sort order in itunes

It seems that Itunes sorts albums by Artist then Album... How can you change sort order to Album name only.

I've been playing with this and discovered it has to do with your personal ratings (ie stars) for albums and songs - seems iTunes now selects the highest rated album to use for the Artist icon. If you have no ratings it seems (but not always) to select the most recent album/song to use fo rthe display.
I've been able to get iTunes to use specific album artowk by rating both the album and all individual tracks as 5 star. You may need to restart iTunes for the changes to take effect.
But I'd be much happier just telling iTunes which image to use - like we used to be able to do. Yet another step backwards for iTunes 11 (one of many).

How do you change the album artwork size in the new itunes

I just downloaded the laterst version of itunes, and I can't figure out how to change the size of the album artwork in the grid...I like to be able to see all of my albums at once, so I usually view them in the smallest size, but I can't figure out how to change that.

Artist doesn't appear in iPod, but the album is there in Album list in iPod

Very strange problem.
I added an album to my iPod & it shows up fine in iTunes. The ID3 tagging is perfect.
Problem is if I scroll through the Artist list, I can't find the artist, but if I look in the Albums list, the album is there & can be played.
Wondering what the problem could be & if it can be fixed.
I also updated iTunes to the newest version, erased the album from the iPod & re-added the mp3s, but the problem still remains.
Any assistance/suggestions would be greatly welcome!

It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.

Ipod displays the album art BLACK

I've got a 80GB ipod video 5th generation, and some songs of some albums appear black... but on the pc they are just fine.... what the **** is going on?
All my songs have the correct art on them... but some appear as a black box on the ipod. HEEEEEEEEEEEELP

i have the same problem for ages since itunes 7.2 and 7.3 arrived i guess, but no techy apple guy can give an explanation or fix this bug even on itunes 7.4.
when your artwork is on itunes it's fine, by copying it to your ipod will get the exact copy at first. but when you edit the artwork direct on your ipod, say maybe you changed the artwork, it will display black after disconnecting.
now before getting into trouble and taking hours of restoring your ipod, you may simply delete that file from your ipod and drag a new copy from itunes library. with this you'll see the artwork perfectly.
on a last note i also find annoying that you can no longer customize what fields you can view (rating, last played, date added, etc.) on your ipod settings when you plug it into itunes. the settings are at default everytime you connect your ipod.
i hope this helps. seems apple is not listening to our little concerns which we all find annoying.

Can you change the album order in Web Gallery?

I can't seem to change the order of albums i publish to the web gallery. The gallery presents the albums in the order you upload it.
Any suggestions besides uploading my oldest albums first?

Just found the answer to this here. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306164 Apparently the order is not (at this time) flexible once the albums are uploaded. And what's more, the predetermined order is not exactly intuitive. Shouldn't the most recently uploaded album go at the end of the list so things are more chronological? Maybe this will get a fix in a maintenance update.

How can I make a copy of a song, change the album cover of the copy, but have the original stay the same?

So, this is going to take some time to explain, but I'm going to try it.
I'm trying to build a compilation playlist with songs from other albums. I want to change the name of the album in the info of the song and the cover for the new playlist. When I do this, the original copy changes as well. I don't want this to happen. Is it possible to avoid this?

Frankly I would just make your album a playlist and live with the original album names in the individual items.
If you really want to name them individually you will have to make copies of the files and add them a second time to iTunes. One easy way to do this is drag the tracks you want to a different drive (it could just be a flash drive). It will make copies of the files on that other drive. Now drag them back to an empty playlist window. That way you will be able to keep them separate from the original track until you can rename them. In dragging back to iTunes it will put a copy in the iTunes folders so you will end up with two copies of the files, the second one for editing.

I can't find how to download a pre-ordered album on my ipod after the album has been released.

I pre-ordered an album on my ipod a few weeks and it just came out today. When I got to the store and clicked on the album it says purchased. I can't find how to download the album on my ipod.

Hi there,
You may find the article below helpful.
iTunes Store: About Pre-orders
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5714
When a pre-order item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know your pre-order is available for download.

Can you guys, I don't know MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE ALBUM ARTWORK

I keep trying to change the artwork on an album/mix I made on Itunes, and since the update it has been impossible, about to rage, This Itunes Update is the worst thing since boners

A G5 iMac cannot access the App store because it cannot run any higher OS than 10.6.8.
Typo? That should read 10.5.8.

Is there a way to change the album page view

Since the last Itunes update frankly I find the album view with covers in iTunes rather clunky and would prefer to select the list view as previous versions allowed but can't find how to change this.Apologies if it's obvious and I'm just being dense.
It is possible to do this in the songs and playlist views so why not the Album view?
Also is anyone else having problems with the full iTunes window not sizing correctly to screen size consequently clipping off the scroll bars? Somewhat annoying!

The new Albums view has some options to control the order in which things are presented. For some strage reason these are tucked away under View > View Options which then presents a small overlay window. If the Songs list included an optional Artwork column (as iTunes used to do once upon a time) it would be an ideal solution - Songs view to give you all the columns you might want to see when organizing the library, including artwork, Albums view for a more colourful playback engine.
As it is, what you see is what you get...

Why do I receive the exclamation point when I just change the album name? File goes missing?

I keep all of my itunes media on an attached network hard drive. Had no problems for months but over the past 45 days I've noticed that material has started to go missing that I know I did not delete. I have found no malware on my system.
I read a script to tell me all the files that had an exclamation point. There were some TV shows (an entire season gone missing) and some CDs.
I just did a test and imported a CD. I then clicked "get info" and changed the name of the album. Immediately I received the exclamation point and when I tried to find the original file it is gone. I have no idea where the file has gone to. I've tried searching, looking around to find it, and I can't.
Why is itunes having this behavior? How is the file being deleted? Any other thoughts or ideas of what I should do to stop this?
I've also sent a support request to the hard drive mfg (lacie) but I'm not sure I'll get much help there.
Thanks.

More info: I just ran the same test two ways. One, I had some files on my desktop, run a script to move these files to the "automatically add to itunes" folder, the files move just fine to my external hard drive and to itunes. The file plays just fine and the "get info" tab shows it is playing the file from the external hard drive where the file was moved to (not copied). But, as soon as I change the artist name or the album, the file goes missing and I get the exclamation point.
I ran the same test by putting the files on my desktop, but instead of moving the file to the "automatically add to itunes folder" I just double clicked the file to play it. I let itunes add a copy and organize my folders. This time, the file would have been copied (not physically moved) and I see itunes is playing the new copied version. This time, when I try to change the artist name or album, I have no problems.
I've never encountered this before. Any info? Thanks.
