Songs from Album Split (Again) - NONE of the Tips Work

This is super frustrating, and I have seen all of the advice on here about this issue. It's the whole "multiple versions of the same album are showing up in iTunes" problem. Tried all of the tricks:
CTRL+Click on each album and then changing the album name and changing it back, doesn't work.
Making sure the meta data on each track is EXACTLY the same, including the sorting data, doesn't work.
Checking off the songs as "part of a compilation" and then unchecking that, works for some but not all.
Making sure each album has the exact same album art, doesn't work.
I'm out of ideas. I even looked at bit rates and such, ANYTHING that might be different between them, and there is NOTHING.
PS, THIS is what I'm referring to if you don't know:

Do they group together while the title is AlbumX then spilt when you restore the original title? If so try closing and opening iTunes after the change.
If changing Album alone doesn't fix it then include Album, Artist, Album Arist, Sort Album, Sort Artist, Sort Album Artist and Part of a compilation in the update.
If it still won't link together a screen shot of the Artists view, showing the split album and the same tracks from the songs view with the above listed fields might at least demonstrate that every effort has been made to achieve a resolution. I'm not having issues myself that won't resolve quickly but I could forward a link to this thread as part of a bug report if you don't have access to that channel, or you could open a free Apple Developer Connections account and do it yourself.

    Rebel,
    The versions may be out of sync. Run Software Update to see if there are any updates that weren't captured in the backup.
    If that doesn't do it, you may have to reinstall. Use whatever method you used when you first purchased the app. Disk or registration code.

  • HT1550 I purchased a song from iTunes on my iPhone, downloaded the song and now it won't play?

    I purchased a song from iTunes on my iPhone, downloaded the song and now I am unable to play it on my iPhone. It just keeps skipping to the next song and won't play it on my iphone but rather only on my laptop.....

    Hey pnazaryan
    If the purchased content is not playing, delete the songs from the Music app by swiping at the song. Then go through the process of downloading the track again.

  • Help! When I try to purchase a song from iTunes and have agreed to the terms and conditions, it then tells me that my session has timed out... but I've only been trying for a few minutes. I can't buy songs if it keeps doing this!

    Help! When I try to purchase a song from iTunes and have agreed to the terms and conditions, it then tells me that my session has timed out... but I've only been trying for a few minutes. I can't buy songs if it keeps doing this! Does anyone know why it's doing this and how to fix it? Thanks!

    Hi mterry1723, one solution that might be worth trying is this:
    - Close iTunes, if it's open
    - Open Safari and got to 'Preferences'
    - Select 'Security' on the top
    - Untick all the security options in the menu
    - Click the 'Show Cookies' button and look for all the 'apple' entries in the left-hand column.
    - Highlight them (select them collectively) and press 'Remove'
    - Now open iTunes and buy the song as usual.
    - You may be asked to do the same security process as before, so do as asked.
    - Hopefully, the security check will now have accepted your answers and start downloading the song as normal.
    Remember to re-tick all the required security options you had just un-ticked in Safari preferences. You don't need to bother about opening the cookies again.
    I hope this has worked for you and my profoundest apologies if it has not. Worth a go, though!
    I did see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18259935#18259935 which may be of more help, mainly the last entry by 'c2boyd'

  • How do I delete a song from my iTunes, keep it in the cloud and in the playlist it resides?

    I don't know why, but a few weeks ago I was able to do this... Now I cannot figure it out.
    I want to delete the music from my computer, keeping it in the cloud (with the download button on the side), and keeping the clouded song in the playlist it belongs to. Everytime i delete the song, its out of the playlist!

    Hello!
    Interesting question. I just tested it myself and it is working as expected. My first suggestion is to ensure you're running the latest version of iTunes.
    Then simply delete the song from your library, do NOT check the box to also remove it from iCloud, click Delete Item, then click Move to Trash. The little cloud icon appears next to it in the list. Then go view the playlist and the song will still be there, again with a cloud icon next to it. Additionally, next to the playlist in the sidebar, there will be a iCloud download button as well.

  • How do I get songs from certain artists to appear under the "Music → Artist

    How do I get songs from certain artists to appear under the “Music → Artists” menu of my iPod if some of the artists songs have album information and some don’t?
    For example, I might have a full album from an artist, and then a single track from the same artist, but without an album tag. When I go to “Music → Artist”, the single track without album information will be gone. The only way I can find the single track is if I go to “Music → Songs” and find it in there.
    I have thousands of MP3s, and finding songs by artist is my preference. Is there any way I can get all tracks to appear under the Artists menu without having to add album information to every single track?

    From what I understand (thanks to forum member PT for this), once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.
    Providing the spelling for the artists is exactly the same of course.

  • I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play.

    Hi skoorb1,
    When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

    You canot easily change your country settings.  The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store.  You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
    E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

  • How do I transfer songs from albums, artists etc to playlist on iPhone 4S

    I'm sure it's easy, so hope someone can assist.
    Just wanting to move selected songs from albums/artists/songs to playlist.
    Any tips would be appreciated.

    All of your apps should be on your computer.  If they are not, then put them there.
    You can then sync them to any of your devices that you like.

  • How do I export songs from my iPhone onto iTunes? (The songs are from a seperate computer than the one I am trying to import the songs to)

    How do I put songs from my iphone onto itunes?

    The only way to do this is to purchase 3rd party software such as Touch Copy.  iTunes will transfer purchased music from your phone to your iTunes library (by right-clicking on your phone in iTunes and selecting Transfer Purchases), but not music that wasn't purchased from iTunes.  If the other computer is at your home, on the same network and logged into the same Apple ID you can use Home Sharing to copy music from one iTunes library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).
