One music album fragments into many. How to prevent?

(This is a problem that happens when I use my preferred method of viewing albums, "show items in a list, grid or with cover flow)
When I import a single album which is a 2 or 3 CD set onto i-tunes, it shows each CD as a separate album, even though they're all part of the same album. When I try to drag the second or third album into the first, so as to merge them, I am unable. So, for example, I have three YES albums showing on itunes, which are in fact just one album consisting of three cds.
Even more annoying is "Johnny Cash at Madison Square Garden." It's a single CD with only about 14 songs, but because some songs are listed as by "Johnny Cash," others by "Johnny Cash and the Carter Family," and etc., it has broken up one album into four little albums. Two of the "albums" only have one song each.
Is there anyway to make iTunes understand that a double cd album, or a single album with a few variant performers, are in fact just one album? Can I merge them so each album really looks just like one album, not like many?
Thanks

  • Imported photos, transferred some photos to new album, deleted originals, ones in album are gone. How do I retreive them?

    Imported photos, transferred some photos to new album, deleted originals, ones in album are gone. How do I retreive them?

    Check the iPhoto trash - if they are there select them and right click and restore to library
    If they are not there then they are gone
    You really should take the time to learn how to use iPhoto - photos exist only in one place  - in your events - albums, keepsakes, etc are just pointers to the actual photos in the event - deleting from an album does just that - deletes from the album - deleting from an event removes the photo and therefore all albums, keepsakes, etc
    watch the videos as a starter - iPhoto help menu ==> iPhoto help and watch the video
    also more details (for a previous version so some menu items are in different places but the concept is the same) - and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration.

  • One album divided into many parts

    Some of my songs in iTunes that should be listed under a single album title are divided into several albums(all with the same album title). I've gone into "get info" and made sure that every listing is spelled, punctuated and phrased the same way, but I still can't get the songs to combine under a single album title. Can someone please help me with this?

    Select allt he tracks for that album, right-click > Get Info.
    Say yes to changing multiple items.
    If the Album or Artist field shows up blank, then they do not all match. Maybe one has a blank space that you can't see, at the end of it.
    You might also have to put in the same value for disk 1 of 1 .

  • How to split one big master clip into many?

    Hi,
    This is probably a simple question for you pros. Thank you for reading.
    I have film that I've telecined onto a DV. However, FCP imported a one hour tape as one big master clip. Is there a way I can split this master clip into several small clips so I can organize my project?
    Does that make sense?
    Thank you in advance,
    Nik

    Since you telecined onto DV I guess there are no Date&Time gaps between scenes, so you cannot use DV Start/Stop Detect. Then the only way I can think of is to do it manually: open the clip in the viewer, select the first scene by setting its IN and OUT points, edit to the timeline, back to the viewer select the next scene setting a new pair of IN and OUT points, edit to the timeline, etc.
    If you prefer you can move each new clip to the browser, and collect them together into a bin, before editing them to the timeline.

  • Instead of the cover of one music album, the cover of a podcast is displayed!

    I have a strange problem: the cover of one of my albums isn´t displayed! Instead of the right cover there is the cover of a podcast. This problem occurs by listening to the album´s music. In all other cases the cover is displayed in the right way.
    How can I solve this problem?
    Information: I´ve got an iPod touch 4G iOS 4.3.3 and a pc running windows7.

    If you want the local user account to use a specific UID to match an account in your Open Directory setup then it is not necessary to manually create a local user with a matching UID. The normal approach is to set the Mac up to automatically create a mobile account that matches the Open Directory account. When the user logs in on the Mac for the first time the user account would be created with the matching UID, matching short and full names, and matching password and the password will be kept in sync with the Open Directory account. This setting can be done via Workgroup Manager and MCX preferences if you still use that method, or more typically these days via a setting in Profile Manager. (Or equivalent.)
    If you really must create a local account with a specific UID then create the local account as normal, make sure you have if needed unlocked the padlock in Users & Groups in System Preferences and then Option-Click on the user account on the left, a menu will appear listing the choice "Advanced Options..." and this will let you change the UID.
    Note: You may need to later do the following in Terminal.app
    sudo chown -R user /Users/user

  • My songs are coming up as their own album with one song in it, when they're ment to come up in one whole album. Anybody know how they can help?

    Bombs Away, Example and Firebeatz are supposed to come up in an album, instead they go here, sort of forming their own album with only one song in it.

    If this is happening in Album View, then try the following to get them to come up together.  Each entry in the album will have to have the same "Album Artist," such as "Various Artists."  Go into Songs view and sort by clicking on the Album heading.  If that colum indicates something else, such as "Album by Artist" or "Album by Artist/Year," click the heading again until it indicates simply "Album."  scroll until you find the Album then right click on the first entry and select "Get Info."  Make sure you are looking at the Info tab, then enter whatever it is you want to appear as the "Album Artist."  Mark and Copy the text you have entered there.  Click on the Next button and repeat for each track by Pasting the entry you created into the Album Artist field for each track.  When you reach the last track, click on O.K.  Now when you go to Album view they should appear under the name you have provided, as well as under that name in Artist view.

  • One class type compiles into many .class files

    I have written a single large GUI file that is composed of a single class (FCTabGui class). When I run javac FCTabGui.java it generates around 190 classes with the same name (FCTabGui) but each one after the first is attached with $# at the end (ie FCTabGui$1.class, ..., FCTabGui$189.class) . I have never seen this before. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can keep it to just one .class file instead of 190. Thanks.
    Jason

    What I meant by "standard to jar up files for a GUI"
    is that if there are lots of buttons that create
    anonymous classes then you HAVE to jar up the files
    because there is no alternative to it. One cannot
    preserve the single .class file setup with a GUI,
    unless its really small and has no action listeners.I suppose you could contort your code so that the single class not only creates all the widgets but also acts as the single action listener for every single button. This way you could avoid creating anonymous inner classes. But anyone who needs to maintain your code will grow to hate you.
    One can double click on a jar file and it will start
    running automatically, (assuming the JRE is
    installed), right?You can do that, but it's not automatic. You have to explicitly list what class has the main() method to invoke when the jar is double clicked. If you're using a wizard to create the jar, this may be easily specified. Otherwise you can do it by creating a jar manifest file with a "Main-class:" attribute.

  • Conversion of one planned independent reuirements into many planned orders

    Hello all,
    The planned independent requirements are collected in a weekly bucket. But I want to have the planned orders in the following way:
    For some products five planned orders are to be generated in equal distribution in a week of 5 days.
    For some products one planned order to be generated on a specific day of week, say Tuesday of every week.
    So what are the settings required to achieve the above conditions.
    Request your expertise on this subject.
    Thank you.

    Dear ,
    I think you should create the PIR in daily spliting .If you enter a weekly period, you can split the planned quantity into the weeks of the period or into the days of the period.Select the planned independent requirement item, and choose Split per.online.You can follow the belwo steps to do this :
    The Period for Splitting dialog box appears.
    Enter the period indicator, and the start and the end of the requirements period.
    Enter the quantity to be split in the Planned quantity field.
    In the Splt field, enter the period indicator for the split.
    If you want to round up or down the schedule line quantity, enter the rounding value, and choose Continue.
    Select the item, and choose the Schedule lines tab title.
    Now Run MRP in MD02-NETCH , 2,1,3,3,3 and look up the result in MD04 .Now , convert the Planned Order to Production Order partially with your frist requirement .
    In the secodn requirement , you can make use of Individual /Collective Indicator -2  in MRP4 view  and generate one planned order .
    Try and wait for experts to comment

  • Install apps on one device, shows up on others - how to prevent?

    Hi all - currently I have an iPhone 5, iPad Air 2 and iPad (original), all using the same Apple ID - if I use the App Store and install an app on one, it shows up on the other two (at least when the app in question is compatible with the other devices).  I know this is supposed to be a 'feature', but its one that I'd like to disable.  Does anyone know if its possible to do so, and if so, how? 

    It's a feature called automatic downloads. Disable it on all of your devices by going to Settings > iTunes & App Store and under automatic downloads, turn the green switch next to apps to off

  • Final Cut breaks up video into many separate segments when digitizing --

    I'm sure I'm not the only person who's encountered this problem. I'm in the process of digitizing a whole slew of HD video tapes and almost all of them have done so exactly as they should. The only exception is a couple of tapes that are fragmenting into many separate files as they digitize, so instead of one nice big file that can easily be scrolled through in Final Cut, I'm getting three or four dozen different smaller video files, all of which are readable and work but it's obviously not as easy to edit something like that.
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how, if possible, to correct it? Is it a video camera setting that was used in the shooting? Or is it some setting in Final Cut that I can change? Or is it merely that the time code on it is corrupt or the tape is somewhat damaged?
    Thanks in advance.

    When you capture HDV, Final Cut Pro automatically generates a new media file at the point of each scene break. The chosen option in the On timecode break pop-up menu determines how timecode breaks affect the capture; Final Cut Pro disregards the Warn After Capture option to avoid capturing media files that contain breaks in the middle of an MPEG-2 GOP (Group of Pictures).
    To determine how scene and timecode breaks are handled when you capture HDV:
    Choose Final Cut Pro > User Preferences, then click the General tab.
    Choose one of the following options (described below) from the On timecode break pop-up menu:
    Make New Clip
    This is the default option. Whenever Final Cut Pro detects a scene or timecode break during capture, it finishes writing the current media file to disk and then begins capturing a new media file. It also creates a corresponding clip for each new media file in the Browser. To ensure that all new media files and clips have unique names, it appends a number to the filename of each new media file and clip generated by scene and timecode break detection.
    You don't want this checked.
    The reference is for FCP 5, but should work in 6

  • HT1386 i bought a music album and can not get it up on my new I phone 4s?

    I just bought a music album downloaded into my i phone.  Then that iphone crashed so got another one the same day.  I can not get up the album that I paid for on my music site?  What must I do to get it back.  I have i Cloud and got most of my pictures uploaded but not my one album ( I only had one). 
    Please assist.. Thank you,  Marci

    Go to iTunes on your iPhone, and click "Purchased" on the bottom toward the right.  You should find the album in both "All" and "Not on This iPhone".  You should be able to re-download it.  If it's in iCloud, you will see the cloud from which to download; otherwise, you should see a download button.
    If you do not see it, then inspect your account on iTunes on your computer.  Go to your account there, and there is a place that lists your purchases.

  • A music album is listed multiple times in my library but each listing only has a few songs in it-not the full listing.  How can I combine them into one album and get rid of other duplicate listings?

    Several music albums listed in my IPhone 5 music library are listed multiple times, but each one only has a portion of the songs listed.  How can I combine them to make one album?

    First....Thank you so much for your prompt reply.  I am sorry for not getting back to you regarding your suggestion-I had computer issues that just got resolved.  Also, this is my first foray into online chat rooms so I have a lot to learn to precisely state my issue!  I did as you suggested and all the songs list the same album when I go into each song's "get info".  However, I am not sure how to edit as you suggested. When I downloaded this album originally, for some reason it broke up into several albums each with different songs from the original album.  I am trying to consolidate them back into one album in my library.  I would greatly appreciate further assistance if you can.  Also, I do not use "the cloud" to store any data and would like a good source of info on how to do this.  Thanks so much for your patience!

  • Hi, when I upload music into itunes from a cd it sometimes appears in itunes as two different albums and split up the music in 2 or even three albums....how can i merge these albums...this is particularly true when one album may have different composers?

    Hi, when I upload music into itunes from a cd it sometimes appears in itunes as two different albums and split up the music in 2 or even three albums....how can i merge these albums...this is particularly true when one album may have different composers?

    Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
    For compilations that aren't, select all tracks, Get Info, and on the option tab set Part of a Compilation to No. If it already says No tick the box alongside, then click OK.

  • How do i put multiple albums into one huge album collection?

    How do i put multiple albums into one huge album collection?
    Some examples include: Linkin Park - Studio Collection, Michael Jackson - The Indisposable Collection

    Hi skullkrunch3r,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you "Get Info" on the tracks that are part of your collection, you can use the Compilation option in iTunes.
    In iTunes 8 and later, you find the option to mark multiple items as "Part of a compilation" in the Options tab of the Multiple Item Information window.
    See this article for more information on marking your albums as part of a compilation:
