New itunes fragmented albums

new itunes fragmented lots of my albums into single songs

thanks for advice
I fixed the split albums eventually by selecting all the tracks and clearing each field in turn and reentering data, all but one obstinate album glued together again now
re the artwork, discovered I had caused a problem by altering album titles to make appear chronologically on my ipod, by removing the change temporarily I was able to get itunes to locate some albums. but because it wont do all eventually I found quickest way forward to find pix in google images and paste in manually. by the way, I found out the hard way it pays to check carefully whether itunes has grabbed an album of tracks or a whole artist before executing a group edit - I accidentally selected a dozen albums which got merged and I have spent a whole afternoon returning 250tracks to their rightful place!
anyway I have fixed todays problems
cheers nick

  • ITunes promo codes for my new iTunes music album

    I recently added a music album to the iTunes store, I need to obtain promocodes that I can send to the press and industry folks so they can hear and review the music. How do I get codes for this? This would be like the cards/codes that you can get from StarBucks for a free download of new music.

    Hey Mike,
    Congratulations on getting your music to the iTunes store.

  • In order to create space on my MBA I just bumped iTunes media to G drive linked through Time Capsule.  Now pointed iTunes at new iTunes libary on G drive and, even though all music files are there, iTunes can only 'see' 10 albums. Any help appreciated.

    Bit more detail...
    Mac Book Air has been struggling for space for a while so I bough at time capsule a) for back up and b) to host my itunes folder remotely.  This didnt' work.  I took it into the Genius bar and the genius there told me that time capsule is not designed for anything other than back up.  Instead I have to connect a G drive through the time capsule's wireless router to my MBA. 
    I followed his instructions - moved my files from the Time Capsule and MBA directly onto the G Drive - which took a heartening 2 hrs so something must have been happening - and the held down 'Alt' when starting iTunes and selected the new itunes folder as the location of my itunes libarary which I wanted iTunes to 'point at'.  When I opened iTunes only 10 albums are visible now.
    In ITunes advanced preferences it says it is pointing at the correct folder.  The files are all cleary there when I open the G Drive folder to take a look.  But I cannot get iTunes to find them.
    Any suggestions? 
    Secondary challenge - in spite of deleting the original itunes folder on my MBA I still get messages pop up telling me my start up disk is out of space and I need to clear some - I expected to stop getting this message now I had done this exercise above.  I have emptied Trash.  Again - any pointers appreciated.  I am new to this world of 'intuitive' macbooks.
    Cheers

    After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move.  Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way.  Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
    If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

  • How do you isolate an album or artist in the new iTunes? (12.0) It is really frustrating when trying to listen to one album and I get the album in the list with all 1,025 other albums in my library.

    How do you isolate an album or artist in the new iTunes? (12.0) It is really frustrating when trying to listen to one album and I get the album in the list with all 1,025 other albums in my library. Same with the artist.

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    ... I assumed that if I played the 1st track, it would continue to play the rest of the album (as iTunes does on my Macs and PCs),...
    You assumed correctly, and it should continue to play the rest of the album in order. Does this happen to all your albums. Have you tried restarting the tv.

  • Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

    Itunes 10.6.3 - Just update to the new Itunes and the album artwork is not sticking anymore... I upload the artwork and when I change songs and go back the art is gone. Anyone with similar issue ?

    I have this issue.  Album artwork was totally fine before.  After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
    iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
    Please fix!

  • IPod Classic album artwork gone in new iTunes display board as of 1 Dec 2012

    Now that I installed the new iTunes software and connect my iPod Classic the album artwork display in the bottom left corner has disappeared! There are other new features on this new iTunes layout that annoy me!
    Apple...please go back to your previous iTunes layout and get my album artwork back.
    My iPod is fine, there is nothing wrong with my iPod, just iTunes and their ridiculous change! I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes to no avail.
    And NO, I DO NOT use the apple iTunes store for anything, just use iTunes to connect to my iPod Classic, that's all, nothing further!
    So don't go trying to sell me something on the iTunes store! NOT INTERESTED!
    Why do you people tend to make things more difficult after I finally figured out your last iTunes layout?!
    Simple guy non-computer geek here, just your average all-American Joe!
    Can someone out there assist? Any way I can return to the previous version? This new version bites! Thanks much!

    *Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    *How to find tracks without artwork*
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
    I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough. iTunes store art seems to be generally 600x600.
    *Rebuild artwork cache*
    Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

  • Difficult to edit album info in new iTunes.

    Every since the new iTunes 11 I get frustrated every day.
    I can't seem to organize my files like I used to. I used to be able to click control i = edit album info..I'd be able to hit "next" and organize info for every track in the album. I can no longer do that. I have to click on every single song seperately and edit it..no more next next next. Anyways..this is just one way the new iTunes is driving me nuts.
    Why did they change it???
    It was fine the way it has been for years.
    If anyone knows how to easily edit album info, please let me know.
    I mostly have problems when importing new music from downloaded mp3 files..unheard of things, like homeschooling history lessons audiobooks. Then I import it and sometimes it shuffles it up into 2 albums instead of one and I have to go back and highlight things, erase things, rename things, to get it to realize that this is one album, with many tracks.
    Sigh.
    Any help appreciated.
    Also, if iTunes people read this: If it's not broken, don't fix it. No idea why they changed the way iTunes looks. It's so much more difficult to use now.

    I have always managed my music manually, just tried the way you do it, cleaned up my libary synced with my phone and all is OK. Made edits and resynced all OK.
    Will manage all my music via the libary which I suppose is the best way to do it anyway.
    Thanks alot for your help.

  • Home Sharing-Copying Album in new iTunes

    My husband and I each have our own PC running windows 7.
    We have the latest version of iTunes installed on each one.
    In previous versions it was easy to copy an album or song from each other as we have Home Sharing set up.
    I can remember dragging and dropping and cutting and pasting, but in this new version I'm lost as to how I do it.
    Please can anyone help??

    Hi ruffordjane,
    Happy Holidays!  To answer your question about how to use Home Sharing with the new iTunes 12, I've included the section from the online help manual for you below:

    http://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/12/#/itns56cd6f5
    Use Home Sharing to import items from another iTunes library
    You can use Home Sharing to import items from up to five iTunes libraries on other computers. To use Home Sharing, you must have an Apple ID.

    Turn on Home Sharing
    Follow these steps on each computer you want to include in your Home Sharing network.
    Choose File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing.
    Type your Apple ID and password, and click Turn On Home Sharing.
    If you don’t have an Apple ID, click “Don’t have an Apple ID?” and follow the onscreen instructions.
    Import items from other libraries using Home Sharing
    Click the Sharing button near the top left of the iTunes window, and choose a library from the pop-up menu.
    Click the button for the type of content you want to import (Music, for example) near the top left of the window.
    Click the Show pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window and choose “Items not in my library.”
    Select the items you want to import, and click Import.
    Automatically import new iTunes Store purchases from another computer

    In the window that appears, select the types of items you want to automatically import.
    Click OK.
    Turn off Home Sharing
    On each computer, choose File > Home Sharing > Turn Off Home Sharing.
    Tip: If a shared computer doesn’t appear when Home Sharing is on, turn Home Sharing off, and then turn it on again.

  • Selecting album individually in new iTunes

    Hi, I just downloaded the iTunes update and I need some help. I used to use iTunes in list display. I would scroll to the artist I desired and then in the box next to it, there would be a list of albums by that artist. I'd then select an album and in the bottom browser list, all the songs would display for play.
    Now, however, in list view, I can scroll through all the artists, however when I select an artist, all their songs show up in the next column. I wish to just select one album. How do I do this in the new iTunes interface?

    Hi,
    I've managed to do this in grid view:
    !http://idisk.me.com/colinrobinson-Public/iTunes screen shots/3 Albums by Artist.png"!
    using these settings:
    !http://idisk.me.com/colinrobinson-Public/iTunes screen shots/1 Albums by Artist.png"!
    and:
    !http://idisk.me.com/colinrobinson-Public/iTunes screen shots/2 Albums by Artist.png"!
    When you double click one of the albums:
    !http://idisk.me.com/colinrobinson-Public/iTunes screen shots/4 Albums by Artist.png"!
    Regards,
    Colin R.

    OH my god SOMEONE PLEASEE help me. I closed itunes so maybe it could work again now it looks like its never downloaded it dissapeared from my library. I went to the album it looks purchased but it doesnt have a download button. So what you basicly did is you made up a problem. You failed to help me. You stole 0,90 and still dont care to answer me back. Not community nor if there is any workers here, themselves. I wanted to support one of my favorite singers and this is what I get in return.

  • Since iv downloaded the new itunes i cant find my photo albums

    since iv downloaded the new iTunes i cant fine my photo albums?

    Click on LIBRARY on the top right;
    Select MOVIES from the drop down menu on the top left;
    Click on RENTED on the top center.
    It took me about an hour to find that out.
    They should have a link from the iTunes Store, or explain what to do after we pay for the rental.

  • NEW itunes... album cover collapse option gone??

    NEW itunes... album cover collapse option gone??
    Before I could collapse the option of album covers so it was just a big list by clicking the mini triangle in that nav bar - but now it seems that the view stays with mini covers on left!!!
    or its big cover flow or grid.... i just want a list of text sometimes.....

    That particular little black triangle has gone...
    You can however show/hide the artwork column from the view menu or by right/option(?) clicking on the column headings.
