TS1468 Albums split & Album Names Disappear

I'm sorry, but not only did songs from the same album now get split but all my CD imported album names disappeared and therefore my album art is missing! I know how to fix it, the question is why should I have to fix it in the first place? I have 1000's of songs from CD's, so fixing this for every album problem I have will take days!!! What's up Apple?!? Why do you always break what don't need fixin'?!?

Not sure what Apple means by "compilation," but just checking that with a grouped selection doesn't necessarily combine them into an album (for me). The artist seems to be a factor, too. I have several collections of tunes from the same CD (or two CDs together) that have different artists and are not recognized as the same album even when "Compilation" is checked for the selected group. Other similar CDs I've imported do become one album (naturally). Apparently, iTunes uses some additional factor to identify the members of an album, and I don't know what this is . . . yet. Examples of where I'm having problems are with "samplers."

Itunes can no longer find artist or album name

I have not seen this exact problem on the forum. I upgraded itunes yesterday to 10 and then when I synced my ipod touch, almost all of the artist names and album names disappeared. I tried several times to get info and this retrieved some of the information but now it says that it can't get the track information for music not purchased from the itunes store or ripped through itunes. The problem is that all of my music was either purchased from itunes or ripped through itunes except one album. Does anyone have this same problem or can anyone tell me how to fix it?

Locate and remove the iPod Photo Cache folder(s). A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library, but may solve your sync problem.

Songs that share same album name

I have many songs that I have added over time to a single album name. The only problem is, is that iTunes has decided to split them up seemingly by the version of iTunes has encoded these. Unfortunately, all these songs contain their own album artwork and simply show up as different albums with their own album artwork. Thus, cluttering up my viewer.
My question is: What is the easiest way to consolidate these songs to a single album.
Thanks!

It's not the version of iTunes they were encoded with...it has to do with the info on the tags. See these documents; they should help:

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

Iphone camera effects display in photo album but disappear when you open the photo itself. why is this ?

iphone camera effects display in photo album but disappear when you open the photo itself. why is this ?

Hi Cyclosaurus,
Thank you for your reply. Sorry to bug you again but can I ask some further questions? Pls excuse my lack of knowledge on these things.
In relation to your points:
1) In the ftp publishing settings, public_html is acutal in where it says "site name", where it says "URL" I have http://www.gippmed.com. I was advised to put public_html in "site name" from my hosting. If I put anything else it publishes the entire site to a folder with that name on the server and is not viewable online?
2) I have removed the spaces in the album page name and will reupload soon. In relation to the image file names, am I correct in saying that iweb is naming them from the captions? Do you really have to use one word captions or use underscores, it looks a little odd? I have read troubleshooting articles about iweb and spaces and it also recommends similar as you are, suggesting that all page names should have underscore instead of spaces. Problem is, if for example I change the page name "About Me" to "About_Me" iweb automatically changes it in the navigation menu and this looks silly to have undescores in the Nav Menu. Is there a way around this?
Lastly, a new problem that I have never had before:
Previously, iweb would remember what I had published and only publish new site changes. Now, every time I turn my computer off and on, I open iweb and it doesn't recognise any of the previous publishing, ie it republishes the entire site.
Thank you again for your help

LR posted to Facebook is no longer working for me. Says album name cannot be assigned.

Before the last update to LR I could post to Facebook via LR with no issues.
After the update I get the message something to the effect of Album name cannot be assigned. I have tried with and without spaces in the name and same outcome.
Any suggestions?

Folder and Album names onto CD

Please bear with me. I did this before and now I can't figure out how. Such are the ravages of aging brains.
I'm trying to copy the music from my old vinyls to CDs I can play in my car. I have software and a USB connection that let me get the music onto my computer in MP3 form. Plays back OK on the computer. I created a playlist in iTunes with a bunch of songs and used iTunes to burn the music onto a CD. Works fine.
Here's the problem: I have 116 songs on one CD that display a title when they play, but there is no other organization. I did this once before with a bunch of other albums and when I playback the display shows a folder name and an album name. That way I can skip an entire album or artist easily to get to what I want instead of advancing song by song through dozens and dozens.
The new CD I created doesn't have that info, just Unknown Folder or Unknown Album. Looking at the Properties of the mp3s I created, all the Details/Media are filled in, i.e., Artists, Album Artist, Album, even Year, #, Genre and Length.
What am I missing?

Lucky Eddie,
You are remembering correctly. Before you burn the MP3 CD, sort the playlist by Album. That will cause iTunes to burn the MP3 CD with the songs in an Artist/Album structure.
For more information, see this document:
iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD
Look especially at the section "How to burn by album."

Why does iTunes show tracks that I've ripped from a single CD as individual tracks with individual albums all with the same album name?

I've looked all the data about each track in terms of album name and other seemingly relevant pieces of stuff, but whenever I look at my songs by albums, it still shows these tracks individually. It's like the same album is repeated over and over instead of the album appearing once with all the tracks listed beneath it.

EG. A CD upload has all of the tracks appearing as indivual alumbs. But as its not physically on the computer anymore I dont seem to be able to do anything about it. Is there away for me to access cloud and rectify this? or manage it from a device?
Thanks
You can edit the "metadata" of the tracks in the cloud just as you would if the tracks were physically on your computer. Hightlight the tracks of the album you want to edit, do a Get Info..., edit "metadata," click OK.

ITunes Get Artwork: "Artwork for [album name] cannot be found. You do not have permission to access the requested resource."

I just installed iTunes 10.5 (latest version as of 11 Jan 2012), onto a computer running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I loaded my music library into it, it compiled the list and separated them by album. But even though I'd assigned most of the albums artwork through my Zune management software (a Microsoft product), almost none of them populated into iTunes. So I went through and started asking the software to try to find album artwork where possible.
I did this a few times album by album, then I decided to select multiple albums and see what happened. No problems. Then I selected all of the albums I had--about 600 in all--and asked it to get artwork. It seemed to process for a bit, then came back with the error, "Artwork for [album name] could not be located. You do not have permission to access the requested resource." I tried this on several individual albums, only to receive that same error.
The very first time I did it, I was told I needed an account with the iTunes store to make it work, so I signed in using an old Apple ID (the account had been inactive for so long it had been locked for security, I unlocked it and that seemed to be that). Then I did what I described above.
The weird thing--to me--is that I can still add artwork to the albums manually if I want to, from imagery stored locally on my own computer. The only thing it seems to have a problem with is when I ask it to go find artwork from the iTunes store.
Do I need to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it? Did something go wrong with the process of authorizing the computer to work with the iTunes store? Do I need to de-authorize and then re-authorize the computer? Could this be something related to Windows permissions on the iTunes library?

Right on about how to reset the warnings, it was exactly that.
I went through the steps to let iTunes through Windows Firewall, but still get the same problem when I access the iTunes store (and even though I followed the steps in the help file to the letter, I notice it still says iTunes is NOT enabled for it). And now, thanks to the re-enabled warnings, when I try to get it to download artwork for single albums, this is what I get:
"Artwork for [album name] could not be found. An unknown error occurred (-50)."

How do I print a list of only the album names I have in Itunes.

I am new to I Tunes.
I am using Windows 7 on a Dell laptop.
I would like to print a list of only the album titles I have loaded onto my Ipod Nano.
Thanks for any and all help.

In ITunes I have gone to Music.
I then did File > Print and selected Album Listing.
When I did this it did display the albums but also all the songs on each album.
I would like to have the album names only
After you click "Album Listing," you will see a "Theme" pulldown menu that gives you the choice of "Songs by Album" or "List of Albums." Choose the latter.

My music is on a nas loaded by Windows Media Player in WAV. When I import into Itunes only the songs appear no album name etc.

My music is on a nas. Loaded using windows media player in WAV.
When I import into Itunes only the record apears, no Album name etc
How can can I see all the details

Information is often stored as tags embedded in the file. WAV does not support tagging. I don't know how WMP works but iTunes keeps its own database about media. For many audio formats, track information will be stored both in iTunes' database and in the file itself as tags. With formats such as mp3 most tags (not all) will 'travel' with the file when copied. This does not happen with WAV where the information is only stored in the player application's database.

How do I get the itunes stored files on my computer to store by album name not by artist?

How can I get itunes to store my computer music files by album name not by artist? It's a pain retreving a stored album from my external drive.

Are you sure to have the full length file in the library? If you start playing it, will it show the full runtime on the controls?

How do I change artwork and album name for a playlist?

I can't figure out how to do this:
I like to make cd-length playlists (essentially "mix cds") with songs that I own. I make new artwork for the mix cd, and for categorization, I like to change the Album Name and Album Artist to whatever I've named the mix (i.e., "songs about trains").
However, if I do this, the individual songs no longer appear with their original albums, since I've changed the info on them.
So essentially what I want to do is make a copy of the songs. I don't mind if they take up extra space on my hd. How do I do this easily?
I know I can just burn the cd and rip it, but then I have to rename every single song, which is a pain.
Is there an easier way? I imagine many other people like to make mix cds like me...
Thanks.

The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.
I don't understand this reason. How would changing the file extension solve your breadcrumb issue? Why don't you explain the issue in more detail.

Is there a way to see the full album names on my iPod Touch?

When albums have long names, they are cut off. This isn't normally a problem, except if the album is part of a multi-disc set, where the names all begin the same way, as shown in this screen shot of my iPod Touch
At the end of each album name is a number (I, II, III).
Is there a way to see full album names on iPod Touch?

Flip the iPod horizontal and look at the cover flow mode. You will be able to see the complete album name, even if you don't have the artwork.
