Stop iTunes from combining multiple albums into one? Or easily reordering tracks once combined?

I'm trying to put a 4-cd compilation of b-sides into iTunes, but iTunes is combining them into ONE huge album. This is only a problem because there are now four Track 1s, four Track 2s, etc. What is the easiest way to fix this? I do NOT want to go through track by track changing them to the correct numerical order. :/ AN help?

Hi Mhwal. I think this may help you.
Here's a test for you to try.
Make sure your iTunes library is updated with your edited album names;
Find a song on your iPhone where the album name is incorrect;
Delete the song from your iPhone;
On your iPhone go to "Settings>iTunes & App Store" and tap your Apple ID (highlighted in blue).
Tap "Sign Out";
Go back to your iTunes library and select the song/album that you want back on your iPhone;
The iPhone should now show your edited album tag;
Once your done you can sign back to "Settings>iTunes & App Store" and sign back in. Your edits will hold.
In addition, this also works with artist pictures. I did not like the stock images iTunes associated with my artists - I wanted album art instead. After you sign out of your Apple ID, when you move a song/album from your iTunes library to your iPhone the FIRST album you move over will be associated with that artist.
For example, I have seven AC/DC albums but I want the cover of "Back in Black" to be associated with AC/DC on my iPhone's artist listing. After I've signed out of my Apple ID, I transfer "Back in Black" to my iPhone and then the other six albums in any order. "Back in Black" will be the album picture associated with AC/DC on the artist page.
Just remember, after your changes you can sign back into iTunes through "Settings>iTunes & App Store" and your changes to edited albums and artist cover art should hold.
I hope this helps!

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:
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

How do I turn off automatic bookmark creation when combining multiple PDFs into one?

When I combine multiple PDFs into one, I need Adobe to use the CUSTOM bookmarks I created in the original PDFs. I do NOT want the additional PDF name as a bookmark in this instance. Is there a way to turn this option OFF in Acrobat Professional? I have version 9.

You can not automatically turn off this action nor can you remove the 'file_name.pdf' heading, but you could add a button or menuitem to remove the 'file_name.pdf' from the bookamarks. Yes, it is one more step to perform when combining PDFs, but is you want until you have all of the PDFs combined you only need do it once.
Removing filename bookmarks created by Acrobat by Sean Stewart
From the above article:
"With the release of Acrobat 6 came the ability to create a composite (binder) document from multiple files, (i.e. File > Create PDF > From Multiple Files.) When this is done, Acrobat automatically inserts a new top level bookmark at the start of each new file. The bookmark title will correspond to the source filename of the source file. While this level of separation can be helpful, it is counterproductive when the user wants the bookmark tree in the merged document to be continuous.
"Here's a sample JavaScript to remove the top level bookmarks from the bookmark tree. This script will look for a ".pdf" extension to decide whether to remove the bookmark."
With some additional coding you can add menu item or toolbar button.

Combine multiple drawings into ONE SHEET

Hello, this is a question on Acrobat Pro, ver 8, using Windows XP. I guess I understand how to combine multiple files into a single PDF-file. However, this morning I happened to see the option mentioned in the subject line. When you go to "Combine files" > "Getting started with combined files" and select "CAD drawings" the description reads: "Combine multiple drawings into one sheet that's easy to navigate and print". How can this be done? I need to combine 8 ea CAD drawings (already converted to PDF) into ONE SHEET for printing without having the need taping 8 pieces of paper together. Arranging the drawing within the CAD application is not an option because the files were delivered by a 3rd party company and they only deliver PDFs

Hi Priya,
You can do this by merging the requets.
   1. goto Se10 and right click on the request and seelct merge requests.
   2. It will ask you from request and to request. Give the request names.
   3. After merging first request contents will be added to second request and
       first request will be deleted.
Like that you can merge 3 requests to one request.
Let me know if you want more info.
Thanks & Regards,
Siri.

Can you sort multiple albums into one single album....?

So my situation is like this...
I have multiple albums from one specific Band (in this case its music from Shin Megami Persona.) I have all 8 albums sorted separately in Itunes. When it is sync'd to my Iphone it will show all of them in order which is typical. What I am curious about is if I can put the Albums into one Album name and when I click it, it will then show the 8 albums. Basically, this is for the sake of not having a lengthy album list on the iphone.
If my question/explanation was unclear, maybe this might help.
My current Album list looks like this:
Albums- P
Paramore
Persona Reincarnation
Persona 3 OST
Persona 4 OST
Persona 3 FES OST
Persona 3 Portable OST
Persona Music Live 2008
Persona Music Live 2009
Persona Music Live Band
Pink Floyd Greatest Hits
ect... ect...
What I would like is for it to be like this:
Album-P
Paramore
Persona Sountracks <------ click on this
Pinkfloyd Greatest Hits
ect...ect...
Clicking leads to below
Persona Soundtracks:
Persona Reincarnation
Persona 3 OST
Persona 4 OST
Persona 3 FES OST
Persona 3 Portable OST
Persona Music Live 2008
Persona Music Live 2009
Persona Music Live Band
I've been able group them all together by changing them all to the same album name but it just leads to a extremely lengthy list of songs. So if there is anyway to sort by the way I explained above, I am open for suggestions. Thanks!!!1!1!1!1

Thanks. That was very easy and works perfectly. Do you know if I can get my 08 edited footage back into 06 for some additional editing without exporting as a Quicktime movie that I can't edit? I want to add audio tracks that I can edit in synch with my video footage like I can in 06. Thanks!

When combine multiple PDFs into one, some letters are missing and display wrong letter

Hi all. I get a problem with combine multiple PDFs into a single PDF document. There are some PDF documents and they are working fine to open each document separately. But after I use Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard to combine them into one, some letters are missing and some display wrong letter (e.g. "forums" display "fo ums"). Our company has Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard, Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Standard. But all of them have some problem. Does anyone have idea for that? Please help me! Thanks very much!

I have a similar situation, but my PDFs look fine in Acrobat Pro 8,Acrobat Reader 8, and Apple preview, but are missing letters in Acrobat Pro 7. I think it stems from the files being combined all having the same font, but each having a unique subset stored in the respective files, but with the same name (and ID?), and when they are combined, the character sets are getting hosed somehow.

How can I combine multiple pdfs into one document?

I need to consolidate multiple docs into one. How do I do that?

It's pretty easy. Open multiple PDF documents in Apple Preview that came with your Mac. Choose View/Thumbnails so you can see the page thumbnail icons. Select any number (or all) of the page thumbnail icons of one document and drag them to any point in the thumbnails of another document.
For example you can drag page 6 of one PDF between pages 40 and 41 of another PDF doc. But it sounds like you want to select all pages of one PDF and drag them to the end of another PDF doc.
If you need more powerful document combining you can use PDFpen or Adobe Acrobat Professional, but they cost money.

How do I stop iTunes from downloading multiple copies of a TV show?

This is driving me nuts. Using Doctor Who as the example, for each episode released, iTunes tries to download two HD copies and one SD copy. I don't need the SD, nor do I need to duplicate HD. Yet I can't stop it from trying to download them when I start iTunes, nor can I figure out how to permanently remove or cancel a pending download.
Anyone have any idea how to stop this?
-- edit ---
Didn't have much luck matching search terms for this before posting, yet after posting links came up referencing other queries in which people asked how to stop iTunes from downloading the HD and SD versions of a TV show. Consensus seems to be that iTunes will always download each version, which is just plain silly. Haven't seen any explaination, however, on why it then tries to download a second HD copy.

That is correct. This is the way it is ALL HD purchases come with the SD version.

Combine multiple jars into one product jar

Hi everybody,
I use multiple third party jar APIs in my applet project. When I built the project, I get one product jar and the other jars in LIB folder. I am wanna produce only one jar including other jars inside. I use netbeans.

How do I stop itunes from automatically adding songs into my itunes library?

I want to disable itunes from automatically adding songs into my library. Every time I sync up my ipod I'm finding miscellaneous debris on it that itunes keeps importing into it. Theres got to be a way to disable this function but I can't seem to find it in the preferences. I'm using a 2011 macbook pro with os x 10.6.7.

I figured out how to change itunes as my default player. I did this by selecting a new audio file and hitting cmd and I to get info, then I selected the "open with" category. Inside "open with" theres an option to open the file with quick time, underneath that is the "change all" option. select that and you will solve this problem if this is a nuisance to anyone else.

How to combine multiple webservices into one WSDL file

Gurus,
I have 4 four webservices(ws1,ws2,ws3 & ws4) defined in XI. Normally in XI when we define webservice ,WSDL file will be generated for each interface. Now I have 4 related interfaces, so 4 WSDL files will generated. Suppose if I have 100 webservices then 100 WSDL files need to be generated & need to send to other party to consume our services, which is very tedious task & to track also. So is it possible to combine related webservices into one WSDL file? Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Santhosh

Hi,
Instead of trying to combine the interfaces, you can try to define your interface mapping with 4 sender interfaces with in one interface mapping . I think this may give you the result you are expecting.
If you want entire content to be in one interface , then, define single interface which can accomadate, all message ocntent of all 4 interfaces.Means your sender message to contain the 4 datatypes internally.

Reyaz

How can i prevent itunes from splitting individual albums into multiple albums?

How do prevent itunes from splitting albums with various artists into multiple albums?
Thanks for your help!

It's probably better to put Various Artists into the Album Artist box rather than just "various". Make sure it's the Album Artist field though. In addition, you need to mark the album as a compilation. When setting the complete album, the Part of a compilation is on a drop-down menu on the File/Get Info/Options tab:
but if changing just one song, it's a tick-box on the Info tab:
and needless to say, the album name must be exactly the same for each track.

How to combine two albums into one

I imported into iTunes two Shostakovich compositions so that I could burn a CD-R that contained these two works. The CD burning went fine, but iTunes insists on separating the two compositions into two albums in the display of all albums. I have made sure that the album titles and the artists displayed under the album icons are identical, but still the two will not meld into one. Will someone help me with this? I am using iTunes 9.2.1(4).

On the "Get Information" windows (reached with right clicks) of the two separated albums, one album was marked as "no" on the "part of a compilation" option and the other was marked "yes". I changed the "no" to a "yes" and they merged. I'm not sure if I got this from the site you gave me or if I just stumbled on to it. Either way, I thank you for your kind responses.
