Problem I've had for months, albums are split.

I checked the FAQ, and the solutions it provided there didn't help anything; I'd already tried them many times.
Here's what I get:
[IMG]http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u196/talontheater/Picture5-1.png[/IMG]
I changed the album title, artist, and album artist for all of the songs at once (selecting all 13 and using command-I), and yet, it still does this. None of the fields are different among the songs except for Track Number.
Why does it do this? Please, help!

hi,
i got this issue a few times. each time, i found this to be related to an information somehow different between songs that leads iTunes to think they are from different album.
besides the album title and album artist fields, there is other fields that must be identical in order to have songs being in the same album. they are; Year, Number of tracks, Disc Number and Number of discs.
here is how to solve the issue. first, select all songs from your album and do a "get info". having selected all of the album's songs, you will see only commun information to all songs. be sure to click the check box besides all fields that must be commun to all album's songs and retype the information.
it may be as simple as having one song with a blank space in one of these fields that let think iTunes it is not the same album.
hope this help.

  • Honestly, this annoying problem I have had for months on end... [X201]

    And its freaking pissing me off. When I occasionally go on Youtube, my laptop screen goes black and hangs up until I do a hard reset. If I wait for the black to go away it just doesn't. It will show some buttons on my screen but for the most part it just goes black and I can't do anything until I force a shutdown by holding down the power button.
    This is NOT cool. I could be damaging my laptop in the longterm if I don't find a work around. And this annoying issue only happens when I go on Youtube sometimes. First the battery problem and now this? Can someone give me a solid solution to this problem or will I have to toss this laptop out my apartment window? I know it has to do with the graphics card in some shape or form and I know 100% that I can't be the only one experiencing this problem.

    Here, let me PM you a Valium. Feel better now?
    Let's look at the issue, determine a cause and figure out a solution.
    First, does this happen each and every time you go to youtube or just sometimes. It isn't clear from your description if you only occasionally go to Youtube (and it hangs everytime) or it only hangs occasionally (but you go to Youtube often.)
    YouTube is just a website like any other but may require some plugins or updated drivers. This isn't a Lenovo issue but may be an issue with drivers or the browser you are using.

    Thank you. Unfortunately I have  very limited technical skills.I am not sure what some of your suggestions relate to and the others I would not know how to do. But I do appreciate your respnse. A good start might be if you could tell me how to turn off face recognition. Thank you again

  • Art work for some album are misplaced in my MBP and also iPhone5

    Artwork for some albums are misplaced in my MBP and also iPhone. What should I do to correct this?

    Hey there vtec99,
    It sounds like you are syncing photos from iPhoto on your computer but not all the photos you set to sync are actually coming over, and they are disorganized. Based on what you are describing, I would recommend deleting the iPod Photo cache which stores picture information that iTunes uses to sync photos from your iPhoto library. The following article will help you do that:
    iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
    When you use iTunes to sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, iTunes creates a folder called iPod Photo Cache. The iPod Photo Cache stores photos that are optimized for display on your device. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the Sync Photos From menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    JoBautista,
    you still have the option (before your warranty expires) of purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan, which will provide an additional two years of coverage. Once your warranty expires, you will no longer have the option of purchasing AppleCare.

  • Covers for my albums are in the Itune store but it will not load them.

    How do I get the album covers for albums I own from the Itune store if it won't automatically load them? any help would be great.

    On the albums that will not work with everything else suggested above, I get the artwork manually by searching on google for the album. When I see the album cover I will right click on the cover and and choose "save image as". After I save the image to my pictures directory I then go in to get into in itunes and manually attach the artwork. Right clicking on artwork in itunes store does not work.

  • I just got my dads old iPhone 4. I restored it to factory settings and set it up with my apple id. The albums in my music are fine in iTunes but on my phone the albums are split and each song is its own album. Does anybody know how to fix this?

    My dad has recently gotten a new phone and I got his old one. With his permission I restored it to factory settings and set up the iPhone 4 as a new phone with my apple id. Everything has downloaded fine but I have had many problems with my music. First it was where my phone didnt recognise my apple id, but I  figured that out. Then it was where iTunes took one of my albums and split it so all the songs where their own albums. I fixed the album split on iTunes but its still like that on my iPhone. I have looked online everywhere and I still haven't found a solution! I'm getting super frustrated! Does anybody know how to fix this?

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • Some albums are splitting on iPhone

    Some of the albums on my iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.2 are splitting into two albums.  These are albums I downloaded on iTunes.  How can I get them back into a single album?  Right now I took them off my iPhone and have only the cloud version if I want to play over wifi.  The albums are normal on my iPad 2, iMac, and PowerBook Pro.
    Thanks!

    I reset my phone to factory settings and reinstalled the backup from the Cloud.  That solved the situation, albeit it was long and tedious in that I had to download the iOS 8.1.2 and reinstall before I could go to the backup.  Took about 90 minutes--way too long to fix the issue.  Anyone have other solutions should this happen again?  And if anyone knows why it happened in the first place, I'd appreciate your input.
    Thanks!

  • Annoying Mail problem I've had for so long, please help!

    Hi everyone,
    Since as long as I can remember, whenever I attach a JPG, or EPS in Mail to a message for instance, if I send the email to a PC user, they always tell me that there wasn't an image attached??! Now I always have 'save windows friendly attachments' clicked and it's always under 5MB. It seems fine with PDF's.
    They say it just appears as a red cross on their email programme. Quite a few different clients have reported this actually. Can anyone tell me what the problem is it's so annoying it's untrue, having to use YouSendIt for simple image sharing which Is shouldn't have to!!
    Thanks all,
    Mark

    Mark,
    Let's start with image files like JPEGs. You should send to those using PC and Outlook or Outlook Express using Plain Text, in addition to Windows Friendly. Rich Text Format can be problematic for them, and it likewise sometimes is to those using AOL and Lotus Notes (if there are any of those). If you use a Signature, make sure it is composed in Plain Text. Outlook and Outlook Express simply have problems with RTF, even when sending themselves since they use a proprietary version of RTF.
    Insofar as .eps files, they can be problematic to other Mail users, and probably many others, unless zipped. The problem with them with someone using Mail, is when it tries to get them to View in Place -- Mail uses Preview to do that, and Preview can have problems with .eps files.

  • Just installed the latest iTunes software update and the extra images i had for my albums on iTunes have disappeared...Help?

    Just installed the latest iTunes software update (iOS 5.0.1) on my MacBook Pro, and the extra images i had placed on my album covers in the selected item box have disappeared, leaving just one image per track. Any ideas on how to restore would be most appreciated...

    Installing an iTunes update does not remove your media or personal files.
    Are the files actually missing off the computer, if so, you have a serious computer issue... not a software update issue.
    Regardless, use the backup of your media and other important files to put everything back.  You do have a backup, correct?

  • All/any computers i have had for 10 years are, even though stand alone..forced to be a workstation on an unknown domain whose people set global policy through mmc and every exploit and probably more..they set global policy always know my passwords

    i could go on forever and the only way i can be helped is by remote and seeing irregularities for yourself or to physically come to where i am. denial of service, controlling which updates, controlling all services, devices..many unsigned drivers..use of

    mention over $200,000 in cash..they often crash my computers when i get close to new information on how/what they are i am rarely able to get any advice or  help  mainly because so many "experts" don't believe it is possible..they use every
    kind of network protocol, many at once plus remote so loop ras, unp and tunnelling etc..all software or security and spyware virus programs assume that if your computer shows as being on a network/domain then all activitied by the admin of that domain are
    ok..sso no protection..this also has happened tp hundreds of computers..o.s doesn't matter or linux or apple   xp, vista windows 7 etc

  • Firefox is still crashing too often. This problem has been ongoig for months, and Firefox is not responding to crash reports.

    Firefox crashes unexpectedly when loading some pages. It does not crash on specific pages. It will crash unexpectedly on any website.
    I have settings set to send reports to Firefox, but I have never received a response or fix.
    I tried fixing the problem using the knowledge base. It did not fix the problem.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Songs from the same album are split in iTunes after import

    I just installed iTunes 8 and had it automatically import my unprotected WMA files. When browsing the albums in iTunes I noticed that several albums had been split into 2 or more albums. I did some digging around on the Forums and found out why and that the solution was to mark the songs as being a part of a compilation.
    I followed the instructions here (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1468). E.g. one album was showing as 5, so I selected the songs, did a Get Info, then Options tab -> Part of a compilation = Yes. I have "Group compilations when browsing" turned on in the Advanced tab of the Preferences dialog.
    Yet when I browse by album, the songs are still showing in 5 albums.
    Any ideas?

    There is something different about the tags to create this condition. I have run across it many times. The solution should be as follows:
    Select all of the items on one album, even if they are listed as 5 albums. Right click, then Get Info. You might see that some of the info on the multiple items info screen is missing. This is because at least one of the songs is different than the rest. You should use this screen to ensure the Artist and Album fields are exactly identical, and that the Compilations button (on the options tab) is the same for all the songs on the one album. By entering info on the multiple items info screen, you change all of the info for each song. This is particularly important for anything you did not directly import into iTunes from the CD - the previous import or copy did not didn't ensure these tags were the same.
    Post your results - I'd be interested in knowing if this helped.

  • Album tracks from 1 album are split up in the Library list

    When I download a CD of a Musical, the album will be displayed in 5 or 6 spots in the Library with only a few of the tracks in each. How do I get all of the tracks (in the correct order) listed under just one album? Thanx, chicajill

    I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something, Meg. I generally use that "center" view, and when my library additions have appeared scattered like that, marking as a compliation has worked for me to bring them all together under one album listing. If the OP shares your bias against compilations, then your way will suit them better. As you said, there are multiple ways of doing things, so I guess we've given chicajill a few options to choose from.
