Only importing under album category

when i try to import a new cd the album will be recognized in the album category but not under the artist category. It also wont create a folder for the cd? Can anybody help me?

Welcome to the discussions.
Under the "Artist" header on the iPod, music is sorted by Artist, obviously. Therefore, the Album name will not be there. Is this what you are asking?

With new upgrade on iTunes, a lot of my songs are missing or only found under "albums" not "artist".

I recently was forced to upgrade iTunes because I bought another iPod and it wouldn't load songs without upgrade. I never usually do the upgrades because they always seem to cause problems. Anyhow, since the upgrade, a lot of my songs that were MP3 format will not play. When I select them, it does nothing. And also, a lot of my music is no longer listed under "artist"...but only found under "album". Any suggestions on how I can correct these 2 problems. The biggest one being to move the music from "album" to "artist"...that's the main one working my nerves.
Thanks!

Delete the references to them from the iTunes library and then either redownload them from the iTunes Store or use the Transfer Purchases function.

How do i import specified albums in aperture to ipad 2

ipad 2 only seems to allow importing the entire aperture library. I woud like to only import specific albums. i am running aperture 3.1.2

Using iTunes, find/select your connected iPad, then choose the Photos tab, then scroll below as needed to select your album(s).

ITunes is saying that I have over 4.78 GB under the category of "other", making it so my iPhone 4 can't add any data (music, apps, pictures, etc.). I'm currently using only 1.3 GB of storage on my iPhone, and the rest is "other". How do I fix this?

Not if you sync your contact to itunes using the program provide i.e outlook..etc

How do i get an artist's music to appear under his/her artist name if it only appears under the album name?

I recently imported the album Hall of Fame by Big Sean into my iTunes. I have the music in my iPhone. When i go to search for Big Sean in my phone under the "artist" section, his name comes up, but the Hall of Fame album is not one of the albums listed. However, if I search for Hall of Fame under the "album" section, it appears. I've tried everything to make the album appear under his name on the "artist" section, but it won't. Help would be greatly appreciated!

Check the "get info" screen of the album, and other Big Sean content. It's the .... meta data (for lack of the correct term) provided with the content. You may need to edit the data so that the content filters like you want.

How do i delete "All Imported" pictures under "Album" under Photo App in iPad 2?

hi, i now have many photos in the All Imported folder under Album in Photo App in my iPad 2. I don't seem to have a way either in Ipad 2 or in iTunes to DELETE / REMOVE these pictures?
can someone let me know how?

Yes, delete all the apps currently in iTunes, then transfer all the apps currently on the iPad back into iTunes. Of course it will take some time to sync the apps back into iTunes, but it satisfies your desire to remove all apps from iTunes that are not on your iPad without the need to laboriously note what is and is not there. In fact as a bonus after removing all the apps from iTunes you could open the ..\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications folder and delete any remaining orphaned files that might still be there, before you transfer purchases.

Imported music CD movie soundtrack as separate tracks rather than full album. How do I correct this so that only shows as album?

I purchased the CD of the soundtrack of the new Les Miserables movie. When I imported it into iTunes for loading to my iPhone 5, the album was split into separate tracks by artist. How do I get my library (and subsequently my iPhone listing) to show only the full Album?

option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.

Import CD only importing about 1:30 of the first song of the album and skipping the rest...

Import CD is only importing about 1:30 of the first song of all of my albums, and then none of the others - though it says they've been ripped (with the little green symbol next to the track name), the track time says "not available" in my library. I've tried to import over a dozen CDs, all the same. Any ideas? I've installed, un- and re- installed Itunes a bunch of times, tried older versions...

When I import an Album or Folder from my computer that is a Various Artist Album it creates as many albums by the same name as there are songs? How do I fix this so it is only one Album?

Before you begin the import, edit the properties of the tracks to set the Album Artist to Various Artists and Part of a Compilation to Yes.

Why aren't all albums listed under albums in my phone's Music app (home sharing)

I'm using home sharing to listen to music on my iPhone 4S. I can access the shared library no problem, but when I go to the Album list, not all albums are there. Everything that I've recently ripped is there but only 9 out of ~40 albums that I imported to the library (vs ripping) are listed. If I want to access that music, I can search under Artist.
I checked out the Info on albums that are listed vs those that aren't and I can't see a difference - they both have Artist & Album listed under the Info & Sorting tabs.
The main iTunes install that is doing the sharing is on a Windows 7 laptop; all the devices accessing the home share are either iOS or OS X.

Search pointed me here.
I have the same issue with an iPad3.
My iPad3, fully up to date will only show 8 albums from a home share and frequently misses all or some of the album art work.
Music served by latest iTunes on 10.8.2. Other devices like iPhones and older iPads list all the albums and album artwork without issue.
Did the log out and back in of home sharing step last night. Fixed it once and then no new albums were showing (converted a few more cds) and this morning I'm back to 8 albums according to iPad3.
iPhone 4 ... it is all there, instantly, never needed to log out ordoanything ...
Quite puzzling. All devices are up to date. Presumably the app would be the same for all IOS devices apart from layout.
It is strange also how it picks 8. It is not like they were the first or last ones added. Or alphabetically first or last by artist or album name. It spans dozens of albums.

Difference between Photos label at top of screen and all photos under albums?

Just wondering what the difference is being the box at the top left hand side of screen that is labelled 'Photos' and the one just below 'Albums' that is called 'All photos'.
I can see that the 'Photos' area seems to be all photos on your mac, like the events stream was on iPhoto before and the camera roll on IOS iPhoto.
I had expected 'All photos' under albums to be just those you had placed in albums, but I added and deleted a few photos to test this and could not see any difference between the effect on the two areas.
I suspect all the previous 'events' have been folded together in one folder so that it is easy to see what was there on conversion, but before I start dismantling this folder to suit the new layout I just want to make sure I understand how the deleting of photos from albums/the whole program works. I have been prompted a couple of times if I am deleting from album or deleting altogether but deletions seem to affect both these streams?

Photos is sorted based on the date of the photo.
All Photos is based on date added. Don't know how it imported at first, but every photo you add from now on will be shown in the order added to the All Photos album no matter what date is in it metadata. And it will be placed in date order in Photos moments.
If you import 100 photos and delete 20, you will have 80 photos left from the import. The 50 you put in an album doesn't affect the total amount you added to the library. It just means that you chose not to put 30 in an an album you created. You can put the same photo in as many albums you want to create. The actual photo still resides in the library.
Don't confuse the system created albums with the user created albums. You can choose to remove a photo from a user created album without deleting it from the library. Or, you can choose delete from a user album which will delete from all albums and the library. But you can only delete from the system album.

HT4236 importing photo albums from device to computer

Can you import complete albums under the album name from the device (ipad) to the computer (imac)?

See this article, referred to in the article you attached above:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
In particular, note these two paragraphs (pay particluar attention to "Camera Roll or Saved Photos" in the first):
After your photos have been imported from your Camera Roll or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.
Additional Information
You can import only photo and video content taken with the built-in camera or captured on the device. You cannot import photo or video content synced from iTunes.

How to export/import an album?

I usually load my photos from my camera to my G4 laptop, edit them there during the trip and create an album with selected pictures.
After returning home, I load all the origininals to my desktp G5 (no problem, however, the "film" information is lost, all the pictures show up under the same heading).
But how can I export/import an album which has been created on the laptop? When I use the export/import function then the pictures are there on the G5, but the sequence is changed. This is quite a nuisance!
Who can help?
G4 and G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The problem is that iPhoto can have only one library open at time except for the special case when the second library is on a CD. So you would have to burn a CD for one or more albums in iPhoto on your laptop and then move the CD to your desktop. The second library will then show up in the iPhoto listing on your desktop, and you can then drag the album you want to import into the desktop iPhoto library. I think you should be able to use a CD-RW here so that you don't have to use up a new CD-R each time.

How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? They are there but the individual song titles aren't listed. They are only listed by album. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist. Also,when I click on music, it will not list options.

My itunes account is messed up. How can I restore my playlist folders in itunes? The list's are there but the individual song titles aren't. They are only listed by album. I can only see the song titles as they are played at the top of my itunes. This makes it very difficult to find songs in my playlist. Also when in the itunes store, I am not able to see music genre choices, or search for a song or group.
Thank you

Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
