Two artists under one album cover

There is two albums on my itouch that the songs from two artists have been added to each others playlists.
I open the music folder select the artist then the album and everything seems ok but when I select a song then look at now playing and tap the album cover the songs that are displayed have another artists within the list.This is also the same if I flick through the album covers then tap the same one the additional songs are in the list.
I have tried to re-load these albums but it just happened again.

Do the two albums by any chance have the same title? The iPod has trouble handling albums with the asme title, in that case you can change the titles to distinguish one from the other. For instance if the albums were both Greatest Hits, rename one Artist A - Greatest Hits and the other Artist 2 - Greatest Hits.

Group Different Albums by the Same Artist under one Album Cover

I've read many posts regarding grouping tracks by different artists into one album, but none dealing with grouping tracks by one artist together from different album titles. An example of this would be classical pieces that are divided into different acts, or more recently, the new Green Day album "21st Century Breakdown," which also divides the album into "acts." Another example of this situation could be a box set by a particular artist, for instance an Eagles box set that contains 3 discs of differing titles (disc one: Eagles, disc two: Desperado, disc three: Live) in which case the three CDs are all essentially part of the same album.
I know the grouping field can be utilized to tag all the CDs within the same set to keep them together; however, I have not been able to use this feature to group albums such as those mentioned above together under one album art in the grid or in the coverflow view. It looks rather silly when there are 3 or 4 of the same album cover in a row in the grid or the coverflow.
The best way I could think to differentiate the different acts on an album or CDs in a set was to group the songs in their own folder and change the title of the album tag to reflect which act (or CD) those particular tracks covered. While this works in the list view to keep the tracks in order, it does not allow me to view the album as a “whole” using the coverflow view. It seems the only way to merge differently tagged tracks is if the ALBUM title is the same even if there are multiple artists. I’ve tried using the grouping, sorting, and “part of a compilation” options with no success. Is there any way to merge these tracks under one album art while retaining the different album names?

Adding slightly to the previous post I would suggest that you give each disc of the set an appropriate disc no., e.g. Discs 1 of 3, 2 of 3 and 3 of 3 for Eagles, Desperado & Live respectively in your Eagles Box Set. Record the individual disc titles in the Comments or Grouping field, then change the Album title for all three discs to something appropriate like "Eagles Box Set". The three discs will collapse into one cover and play in sequence. If marking the transition from one disc to another matters you could, for example, simply add the album name in brackets to the first track of each album. You could use curly brackets to distinguish this from other types of track comment. For more organizational tips see my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One cover for multi-disc album.
The alternative approach for box sets which simply repackage a number of original albums together is to find the original artwork for each album.

Consolidating songs under one Album Cover

When importing a CD Album into iTunes, iTunes will create several album covers then spread different songs under each cover. How do I consolidate these spread-out song under on album cover? Currently I have an album, under library, that show 5 album covers with 2-3 songs under each album cover. I am new to using an iPod so any help is appreciated.

Have you had a look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together

HT1473 When I add a audio CD to iTunes it doesn't keep it under one album cover like it does when I purchase an album from the store. That creates a lot of clutter. How can I keep it all together?

As above.

For reasons known only to apple, the main sort priority now is the artist. ANd when you have a compilation album you end up with multiple 'albums' that are really one. You can right click on the songs and edit the info for each song, making the info right for all of them.....it may not be perfect but it works for me. (My music is all ripped from cd's and not downloaded from Apple)
In your case, you could mark each song as 'various artists' and then they'll all be under the same cover

HT1451 A new album purchase downloaded each song as an individual album with its own album cover. How do I consolidate all songs under just one album cover like the rest of my library?

A new album purchase downloaded each song as an individual album, each with its own album cover. How do I consolidate all songs under just one album cover like the rest of my library? How did this happen?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
BTW, are you really still using Windows 2000?

HT2905 I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

In iTunes(on a Mac or PC) just tap on 'Albums' rather than 'Artists' and you'll see them all together.
You may find that there are songs mislabelled. In which case right tap on the Album or Artist and tap 'Get Info', then change to the correct name and the songs will join the rest of the songs for that Artist or Album.
Then resync with your iPhone and all will be well.

Issue with artists with one album an non album tracks.

Here is my issue:
on the ipod I should see this:
music > artists > THE ARTIST > All or Album1
That's the logical order, but this is what my iPod does
music > artists > THE ARTIST > Album1
I know I have tracks that are not a part of Album1 ( I see them when I view the whole song listing). My ipod skips the screen where I could normally choose All or Album1. Everything works fine if I have more than one album, but for these artists with one album and a few non album tracks its not right.
Sorry if this is posted elsewhere. It's and odd request and wasn't sure how to search for it.

If no information is entered into the album field for the singles of a given artist, enter [Assorted Singles] or just [Singles] I use the [ so that all I have to do is hit that key and the entry is automatically completed by iTunes. It treats it as an album title. With any singles I have labeled for an artist in that way they show up under "ALL" as well as [Assorted Singles] for the artist.

Importing box sets of multiple cds under one album listing in iTunes?

I am trying to import a box set of music cds into my PC library and have them under one album listing. Currently, each disc is shown in library with its own album cover listing. I am trying disc 1, disc 2 & disc 3 contents listed under 1 library album.

Compilations: Can you show just one album cover with mixes/compiations?

Using the current iTunes (11.01) is a misery. I have numerous mix discs and compilations, and for each title eg Royksopp's BACK TO MINE mix, there are about 15 tiles of the album, one for each song. In extreme cases, there may be over 100. Since I have God knows how many songs, easily in the tens of thousands, this is an extremely inefficient way to display my collection.
Is there any way to display albums with just the one album cover and title showing each time? THis is ridiculous.
Thanks in advance.

Wow!
Is that really so?
I'm not questioning your answer. Just want to make sure before I say OK and let it be. I had heard that iTunes/iPod forces you to do things their way, this is an example, I guess!
Thanks for the input.
I guess I'll just have to leave it be!
Is iTunes the only way to deal with iPod? Are there any other programs?

Jim,
Before starting the database A, did you set ORACLE_SID=A from command line? You can run as many instances you want from single server provided you enough memory, processing power. Also try starting your instances usign window services and check and post some lines from alert.log for database A.
tnsnames.ora entry
DATABASE_A =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = salesrpt.net)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = DATABASE_A)
DATABASE_B =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = salesrpt.net)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = DATABASE_B)
)Regards

Two devices under one apple ID, how do I keep my privacy?

I have two devices under one apple ID, my sister's iPhone 4s and my own iPod touch 5. iMessages and FaceTime requests etc are being sent to both devices instead of the specific one it's meant to be sent to. For example, I am recieving the iPhone's iMessages on my iPod as well, when they are meant to be only sent to the iPhone. Also, will safari history and bookmarks/app downloads and passwords etc be shown on both devices as well?

Remember this construct:
One Apple ID per individual; one device per Apple ID. If you have two devices you should have an Apple ID for each unless you want both devices to draw from the same iTunes Library. This is your situation now.
If you open iTunes and select one device to configure, then go through the configuration options for Apps, Music, etc. and select what you want synched to that device. Repeat the process for your other device. This is the best you can do to keep each device's configuration different.

Two iPads under one apple account at AppStore

Dear community !
Please advice is it possible to use two iPads under one Apple account in Apostore ? It's necessary for me to get the same apps for my iPad and for my wife's one.

you can do this with no problems. i have several 4 ipads/iphones all using the same apple account with no issues. in itunes you can choose which apps go to each ipad/iphone - by default all apps go to each, but you can turn this off and choose what you want. a bonus of using the same account is that if you do want the same app, you only have to buy it once.

If artist has one album jumps str8 to it.....cant view songs not part of it

Hi
I don't know if this is an issue with my iPod or with this generation in general, but when trying to view an artists songs if the artist has one album and a few songs that are not part of that album it jumps straight to that album, therefore no longer giving me the option to view all songs or just the songs from that album. For other artists that have multiple albums it does bring that normal menu up, allowing me to view all songs or songs from each of the particular albums.
Help!!

well i did think of that.....but i was hoping there would be a more technical and long-term resolution
the idea of having no album names or needing to have some kind of generic album title really doesn't appeal!!
sorry if this seems like i am being too fussy!!
