Too many albums

Hi Guys; I have recently downloaded the 32 songs of Puccini: la Boheme (2 CDs). These were originally on a single album named " Puccini: La Bohème (2 CDs)" , but show up on my iTunes Music as 32 albums with one song in each. I checked the album name, it is the same for all of them, how to group all these tunes under the same album?
many thanks

The artists have to be all the same. Now I figure the artists are all different right? If so, this is a compilation, simply check the box marked compilation. The actual CD needs to be the same as well, and make certain you have the correct CD 1 and 2 under descriptions.
Oh and check off the box for a gapless recording as well. Opera with gaps is very odd.

  • Too many albums slows down iTunes?

    I've never used iTunes to organize my massive music library, but I want to give it a try.
    I don't think in terms of songs.  I think in terms of albums - ripped CDs.  I have over 3,500 physical CDs and FLACs I'm converting to ALAC.
    I read some very old forum posts that discussed iTunes bogging down, sometimes hanging or crashing, because someone had "too large" a library.   But those comments I read were several years old, obviously discussing older versions of iTunes.
    Assuming that lossy compression is completely out of the question, is a person going to notice iTunes 11.1 responding slowly or hanging with that many lossless albums in his library?  A drag to use?
    Without resorting to multiple libraries, how many ALAC albums is "too many" for iTunes?

    I think a LARGE PART of what you're dealing with is format...
    I have 41,742 songs (3212 albums) and 673 audiobooks in my iTunes library with album art for ALL of it.
    It ONLY lags when adding new tracks, and even that's just for a second or two at most.
    BUT...
    My collection is MP3 (192kpbs maximum) and M4B (128kbps maximum). EVERYTHING comes to 267Gb.
    As FLAC or ALAC, you're looking at a substantially larger library that's going to be slower to update...
    Updating a 23mb ALAC track's ID3 tags... takes longer than a 4mb MP3.
    Updating artwork for an album of ALAC tracks... takes longer than an album of MP3 tracks.
    Renaming an album of ALAC tracks...  and so on.
    Not being a music professional I don't NEED to have lossless music. I listen to most of my stuff through earbuds while riding. Too much outside noise to really appreciate the nuances of a studio quality rendition of Beethoven's 9th.
    If you DO need that quality, the lag is a trade off.

  • Too many "Album Only" songs

    In my view, one of the greatest strengths of iTunes is not having to purchase an entire album to get the particular songs one enjoys. This strength is undermined by the "album only" choices that appear all too frequently.
    I've found several album only songs that I would like to purchase and I have not purchased one of the albums. I'm guessing I'm not alone in this behavior. Drop the "album only" idea and you'll certainly make more money from me. Keeping it is only driving me to look elsewhere for the songs.

    This is not controlled by Apple. The most frequent reasons for "album only" songs are the copyright holders are different for this song than the rest of the album & do not want the song sold as an individual track. The copyright holder for all of a specific album, for whatever reason, may have required that a specific track or tracks be sold as "album only". Apple has to abide by what the copyright holders want when it comes to distributing content.

  • HT1849 I bought too many songs from the album so balance was less than $1.29 and now the complete my album link is not there. What can I do?

    I bought too many songs from the album so balance was less than $1.29 and now the complete my album link is not there. What can I do to pay the balance only?

    "Note: if you previously acquired a certain number of single tracks from the same album that the Complete My Album price would be less than the current price for a single song (a single video for a video album), you will not be able to purchase the remaining tracks using Complete My Album.

  • We have too many apple devices, how can I creat another apple ID and divide the devices among 2 Apple Ids?

    Hello all,
    We started off with the original iPhone a few years ago and now between my wife and I (plus Kids) we have too many apple devices under the same apple-ID (2 X iPhone 6+, 2X macbook Pro, 2X iPod-touch and 1X iPad)
    We are constantly running into issues because everyone in the house is using the same apple id, downloading Apps using the same ID, sharing the same cloud and receiving each other's iMessages.
    I know that I can create another Apple-ID, what I am unclear on is once I do have a new apple ID, how do I assign that to half the devices (1X iPhone 6+, 1 X MBP and 1 Ipad)
    Please respond if you are able to help.
    Thank you

    I'm not sure what they told your at the Apple store, but each Apple ID can only create a single iCloud account.  If you want separate accounts for all these devices, they will have to be created using separate IDs.  Note: you can do this and still share the same ID for other services such as your iTunes store account.  The iCloud ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for other services.
    To create an account, go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with a different Apple ID.  If you want to migrate a copy of the current iCloud data to the different accounts, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the devices keeping the current account will not be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

  • How do I open a library book on a recently acquired Samsung Nook?  I get "too many activations" error. I have an active adobe digital editions and my other devices work fine.  Custumer Support was unable to get the new device activated.

    I have a library book on the bookshelf of a newly acquired Samsung Nook but I cannot open it.  My other devices work fine but I cannot activate the new unit.  I get a "too many activations" error message.  Customer Services say I have a valid license but they deemed my problem to be a technical issue and referred me to the forum.  Thanks

    Step 1 - by trial and error...
    So far, I have been able to create physical files containing MP3 and JPG on the NAS using the Windows XP systems to copy from shared locations on the Vista and Win7 boxes.  This process has been aided by the use of a 600 GB SATA 2 capable hard drive enclosure.  I first attach to Win 7 or Win Vista and reboot to see the local drive spaces formatted on the portable device.  Then I copy files from the user's private directories to the public drive space.  When the portable drive is wired to an XP box, I can use Windows to move the files from the portable device to the NAS without any of the more advanced file attributes being copied to the NAS.  Once the files are on the NAS, I can add the new folder(s) to iTunes on any of the computers and voila, the data becomes sharable via iTunes.  So far, this works for anything that I have completely purchased, or for MP3's I made from the AIC files created when I purchased alblums via iTunes. 
    I have three huge boxes full of vynl records I've accumulated.  The ones that I've successfully digitized via a turntable attached to the sound card on one of my computers and third party software, have found their way to the NAS after being imported into iTunes and using it to bring down available album art work.  In general I've been reasonably well pleased with the sound quality of digital MP3 files created this way, but the software I've been using sometimes has serious problems automatically separating individual songs from the album tracks and re-converting "one at a time" isn't very efficient.

  • How can i fix imessage when my friends send me too many messages and it wont load

    My friends sent me 92 messages on the same group message and iMessage won't load because there are too many messages. Is there any way I can fix it because I tried resetting all settings and it didn't work.

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Sync fails in iTunes 9.0 & 9.01: "too many files open" and error -6999

    I've been trying to synch my iPod (Touch, g1) for the last couple weeks but have been getting errors ever since going to iTunes 9.0.
    First it blew my library and now says "Previous iTunes Libraries" at the top. Can live with that (after going through and reloading about 2/3s of the album artwork).
    But now am getting two errors every time I try to sync. One is, "Attempting to copy to the disk '[my iPod's name]' failed. There are too many files open currently."
    Elsewhere I saw it suggested for this error that I turn off sharing, but, alas, sharing isn't turned on.
    The second error message is, "The iPod '[my iPod's name]' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-6999)." and I can't find any mention by Apple about what to do about this.
    HELP. Please.

    There has been some advice to turn off "sharing" to stop getting the "too many files open" error message, but, as noted in my question, sharing was already turned off in the iTunes Preferences.
    But, it turns out, of course, that there is another kind of sharing in the 9.x iTunes -- the one for sharing libraries on your local network. Don't know why they are different because the function seems the same, but I noticed that there was still an icon for "home sharing" or "house sharing" (little picture of a house) on the library/playlist list in iTunes.
    I right clicked on the house icon and found another checkbox switch there. I turned that one off too (Why Apple?) and, voila, the "too many files" error has (apparently) gone away.
    Hope this helps some others out there.
    Apparently you have to turn off sharing in two different places. (Again; why is that, Apple?)

  • Keyword Search showing too many photos

    I have over 22,000 photos and over 300 keywords for them.  Sadly I cannot search by keyword since the keyword list only shows the last 146 keywords on the screen (a known bug that, in my case, only shows keywords beginning with p-z) and there is no way to scroll to any keywords before it.  I have therefor taken to entering the keywords manual in the "all" field, which worked fine in iPhoto 08, but reveals way too many photos in iPhoto 11.  From what I can tell, if there is one photo with that keyword in any given event, it will show me every photo in that event.  So, for example, if I want to see "Jane" and there is one photo of Jane in the Hawaii" event, it will show me every photo in the "Hawaii" event.
    I have occassioanlly stumbled upon workarounds for this, I think entering a space after the keyword or something, but can't recall any concrete solution that seems to work now.  Can anyone help me with this extremely frustrating problem?  (And I know about Smart Albums.  That won't solve this one.)

    Did you ever solve this problem. I have it too and it's driving me crazy.

  • I shared too many pix and photos, now how can I delete them from my iPad?

    I shared too many photos and songs on my iPad. How do you delete albums? 

    How did the photos get onto the iPad ? Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it (Edit button on iOS 6) in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from your computer can't be deleted directly in the Photos app - you either need to move/remove/de-select them from where they were synced from on your computer and re-syncing e.g. to remove a synced folder de-select that folder on the Photos tab and re-sync, to remove all synced photos select and sync an empty folder.  Depending upon what iOS version that the iPad is on, you might be able to delete all synced photos by swiping across the 'Photo Library' line in Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera (that should give you a Delete button but I haven't tried tapping it to see if it works).

  • Too many !, how do I purge iTunes so I can re-populate?

    Ok I've got way too many !'s & doubles of songs.
    How do I purge iTunes of all songs so I can then re-import?
    Will my playlists also be deleted? Or will I still be able to see what songs I had in them & just have to re-add their new location?

    To find duplicates:
    Select an item below Library or Playlists, and then do one of the following:
    Choose File > Show Duplicates to find every instance of a song from the same artist from any album in your collection. For example, the same song could appear on the artist’s album and on a movie soundtrack.
    Press the Option key and choose File > Show Exact Duplicates to find multiple copies of the same song (if, for example, you inadvertently imported the song twice).
    To help prevent duplicates from appearing in your library in the first place, it's recommended that you have two particular options in your iTunes Preferences enabled. If you're interested, follow these steps to enable them:
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. If you're using Windows, choose Preferences from the Edit menu. If you're on a Mac, choose Preferences from the iTunes menu.
    3. Click Advanced.
    4. Make sure the checkboxes next to the following options are selected:
    !http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECAREALLGEOS/HT1417/HT14174.jpg!
    Enabling these options will ensure that when you add an item to your iTunes library it is copied to your iTunes folder and that iTunes keeps your folder structure organized. When these options are enabled, iTunes should not allow you to add an item to your library that already appears in your library.
