Songs from a single album STILL split up (multiple albums in cover flow)

I performed the steps listed in the FAQ to consolidate files of this sort (select all files in the Album, do a "Get Info", and make sure all Album/Album Artist/Artist entries are the same), but the multiple albums I see in cover flow are still there. Has anyone had this problem?

One other place it might cause them to break up are the disc _ of _ fields and the Track _ of _ fields.
If they are different from track to track, that might do it. Select all the tracks again, do a Get Info on the bunch. disc _ of _ fields should all be blank, but just in case one or more does have that filled in, but not all of them, go ahead and check the little check marks next to those two fields to reset them ALL to blanks.
Then for the Track _ of _ fields fields, if the second one is not filled in, that could be a problem. It should show the total number of tracks in the CD. So 10, 12, etc. whatever the total number is, if it is NOT there, then fill it in.
OK out of the album. Any better? If not, then next check the track numbers. Go to the first track, select, Get Info, and make sure it is set for Track 1 of X fields (where X is of course the total number of tracks. If it is OK use the NEXT button on the bottom of that window to advance to the next track and go through each one in turn making sure they are all set correctly (1, 2, 3, etc.).

Songs on a single CD are split between two albums in Itunes

This seems to happen whenever a particular artist on the CD has someone else join him and the singer listed goes from "singer name" to "singer name and other name". This creates another "album" with a single song on it. Any way to prevent this and/or to reposition the single song bact to the original album?

See my recent post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

If I buy a song from a single, and I buy a song from an album that that song is in, does that song become part of that album

I bought a single from 30 Seconds to Mars a while ago, Kings and Queens. Now I want to buy the song This is War, from another album with the same name, but the song from the single is also part of that album. If I buy that song, does my single song automatically go under that album in my library, or does it stay a single?

Sounds like you have abn expired credit card linked o yoru accopunt.
View your iTunes account payment info and select None for the CC.
You may need to first add a valid card number before you can remove it.

I am working on a friend of mine's 15g ipod(W/dock connector)and I am having the same trouble except it does it to all the songs. I have tried reseting it multiple times, but to no avail.
I am not sure that this runs on windows XP, it is absolutly archaic (compared to my 5th gen. 30g video).
Help?

HT1711 how do I find the top 5 songs from a single artist!!

How do I find the top 5 songs from a single artist?

If you have unchecked the compilation tag on the CD tracks before you ripped them, then what you are describing shouldn't be happening. Are you sure you are unchecking the compilation tag for all of the tracks on the CD before you rip them?
Unfortunately, you cannot change the default directory structure that iTunes rips albums into. You can feel free to move files after they are ripped, but iTunes will always rip them into its Artist/Album/Track #_Track Name format.

If you buy a track from an album as opposed to a single (so you are buying the actual track from off the album), then you might be able to do 'complete my album' : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1849

I added a photo from camera roll to a created album,how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep photo in album

I added a photo from camera roll to a created album, how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep same photo in album?

You can't. It doesn't work that way.
the new album that you created doesn't contain a copy of the actual photo. It contains a pointer to that photo. If you delete it from the camera roll, you will delete it from the album that you created as well. Albums that you create on the iPad in the Photos app are for local organization only and cannot be transfer or imported to your computer, because there really are no photos in those albums

Deleting songs from a single iTunes library?

I recently got a new laptop, and transferred many of my songs off of my desktop computer to my new one. I have home sharing turned on between the two. I want to delete songs from my laptop's library that I don't want, without deleting them from my main desktop. Every time I attempt to delete a song, it pulls up with the option of deleting it with computer's synchronized with mine, as well as from iCloud. I don't want to delete it from the computer synchronized with mine (Desktop) or from iCloud. Even if I turn off homesharing and try to delete music, it won't remove the music without my checking of the 'Remove from iCloud' box, only making a little cloud download sign next to the song. I'm trying to get organized and I need help.
Thanks!

Regarding the feature to reduce the files to 128k... is it possible to change this setting to something like 192k or 256k?
not in iTunes, but you can use this:
Lossless to AAC Workflow v2.2
Two scripts assist with importing/managing Apple Lossless or AIFF audio files and sending converted AAC copies to a mounted iPod set to "manually manage songs and videos".
Lossless to AAC Workflow (CD->iPod):
Imports each enabled CD track as an Apple Lossless or AIFF file Makes a converted AAC copy of each imported file Adds the AAC file to iPod, deleting the original AAC from iTunes.
Lossless to AAC Workflow (iTunes->iPod):
Makes a converted AAC copy of each Apple Lossless or AIFF track selected in iTunes Adds the AAC file to iPod, deleting the original AAC from iTunes. In this way you can keep archived lossless files on your hard drive, and manageable AAC files on your iPod.
Yes, iTunes 9.1 will auto-encode tracks to iPod, but only 128 kbps AAC; these scripts enable use of your Custom AAC encoder setting.

Bought a song from iTunes, now can't use Complete My Album

I purchased "Foreplay/Long Time" from Boston's first album. Now I'm interested in purchase the full album, but in Complete My Album it doesn't appear. What gives?

Unfortunately, this form does not have a category for my problem.
Indeed. : - (
As you can see, this Apple Support page refers to that form for more information about the Complete My Album feature.
You might want to try selecting a category/sub-category such as Purchase(s)-problem/This item is mislabelled which is somewhat related (emphasis on somewhat) and then filling out the Ask your question here section with the particular details of your concern.

Album view split into multiples

I have a particular album that seems to be always split as though it's multiple albums, containing only one song.
I've tried all the tricks that I know of, including the Get Info trick, and even ticking the compilation option. I've even re-named all the song titles, and even manually deleted & re-imported songs.
For some reason, I haven't been able to solve this one, and I've put this little problem aside for the last week or two, but now I'm starting to wonder if I ran into another iTunes bug here. Using the latest version.

ALL of the tag data has to match for the songs belonging to any given album (except of courser for track number and title). Just select ALL tracks on the album and re-enter the information. If you still have problems, go to View > View Options and enable (temporarily) a wider variety of columns to view in the iTunes window. You should then see where the discrepancy is.
FWIW, on the album you're having trouble with, there are some tracks with different artists, so you may need to populate the Album Artist field with 50 Cent in order to keep things grouped together properly.

Some albums getting listed as Various Artist in Cover flow only

eg
Velvet Revolver - Contraband
Husker Du -Land Speed Record
The Killers - Sawdust
The above albums appear in the Correct place under the artists name in Portrait mode on the ipod but, when viewed in cover flow - the appear as being "various artists"
I have 32gb 3.5gs
Anyone know how to fix this?
I have re-type the artists name, then re-sync - still appears in the same place

I had the same problem after I updated to the most recent 3.0 firmware on my iPhone 3G.
I managed to fix the same problem you describe by:
1) Making sure the "Part of a Compilation" field is set to "No". For multiple files, you select them, "Get Info" and on the "Options" tab, you will see this setting. For one file, it will be on the "Info" page.
2) Making sure "Album Artist" is either blank or set correctly.
Number 2 only came up on 1 or 2 albums that were not displaying properly on CoverFlow (i.e., showing up under "Various Artists"). Number 1 is what fixed the rest of my albums (around 10 full albums or so).
Hope this helps other people. To save time, I would suggest using the Shift button to select the entire album and do what I recommend under #1.
Cheers.

TS3297 Are you kidding me? I'm trying to download "one song" from iTunes and have to do the whole album or send it to myself as a "gift." Don't understand and really don't like this new interface. Actually I hate it!!!! I just want one song from various a

This whole thing is very confusing and I'm not happy about having to input my password
FIVE count them . . . Five times.
I want to revert back to the last ITunes i had. How do I do that? I'm not happy with
the new interface. It's too confusing. Not sure how to make songs "shuffle" etc. . .
but that is the least of my problems.
What's going on with you guys?
Let's keep things simple please.
Thank you!

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.
