Uploading music CD's to itunes
Two issues. The first one is that when I upload some music cd's into my itunes library, itunes wants to place the songs in a compilations folder. Sometimes this occurs even with a 2 or 3 cd set. One CD will be filed under the artists name and the disc 2 may be filed in the compilations folder and listed by the name of the cd and not the artist.
2nd issue is that sometimes cd's are similiar, but with different artists such as 20th century Hits of Neil Young. The CD is filed in the compilations folder. Than I upload the 20th century Hits of Tanya Tucker and the songs go into the same folder with Neil Young. The don't even mix as one is county and the other is rock.
I have moved these CD's out of the compilations folder and moved them in with the other cd's by the same artist, but Itunes keeps moving them back into the compilations folder.
Is there a fix
You've run into an aspect of what I call the iTunes "Greatest Hits" bug. It mixes up albums with the same name, particularly if they are also marked as compilations. Each album should have at minimum a unique combination of Album Artist and Album title, but in practice a fully unique Album title may work better, particularly if you are syncing to an older iPod. Compilation albums must have unique names or they merge.
As with your other thread, see Grouping tracks into albums for more information.

Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 -
Music on my iTunes account has disappeared, but still have it on my older iPod; want to upload it to iTunes, but when I hook up to computer, iTunes wants to overwrite the iPod. I fear I'll lose it all. Any help?
Hey blite923,
Thanks for the question. If these are purchased songs, you can transfer purchases from your iPod to your computer without syncing:
Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1848
Transfer your purchases to your computer
Before you transfer your purchases, make sure that your computer is authorized with the same Apple ID account you used to make the purchases. Learn how to authorize your computer using iTunes.
If you bought the iTunes Store content on your device using multiple Apple ID accounts, you'll need to authorize the computer for each one.
To transfer purchases from your device to a computer:
Connect your device to the computer. Wait for its icon to appear in iTunes.
Go to File > Devices. If you're using iTunes for Windows and can't see the menu bar, learn how to turn on iTunes menus in Windows.
Choose Transfer Purchases from [device name].
This feature works only for content bought from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or received from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, all podcasts from your device's Podcasts app and copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer. Learn how to transfer media to your iTunes library.
Thanks,

Problem uploading music from iPod to iTunes...please help!!
Dear All,
I originally had all my music on iTunes on a laptop and I quite happily ripped new CDs onto my laptop and updated my iPod from time to time. Then the lap top disappeared and I got a new desk top PC. I thought it would be a simple job to transfer all my music (now only stored on my iPod) to the new desktop. However, the version of iTunes on my new computer says it recognises the iPod when I plug in it in the USB drive, but that I should load the original software CD or get software updates from the Apple site -none of which I can find!
If anyone could shed any light on this situation I would be eternally grateful as I would like to get my library back in iTunes on my desktop and put new music on my iPod. All suggestions gratefully reveived!
Becka.The easiest way to get your tracks from your iPod to your new computer (since the old one is no longer available) will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:
MacMuse: Computer crashed
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic before you post a question.

so i updated the new itunes and now when im syncing my ipod the music isnt going in. can i burn the music then put it in my computer and itunes will accept it and put it into my ipod? can i un-update my itunes 11? please help
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Upload music from iphone into itunes
I put itunes on my new computer and now am trying to back up all of the music on my new iphone into it and it won't do it. Does anyone know of a way? Thanks!
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. -
I have an ipod nano classic and suddenly itunes doesn't read it, only charges the battery. What can i do? Thank you
What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?
How to reset iPod
Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

I uploaded music to my MacBook and I went to open my iTunes account on another computer and could not access them. How do I do that?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The following article(s) may help you.
Understanding Home Sharing
Setting Up Home Sharing On A Computer -
My macbook seems to be going crazy. At certain points (and for hours) I get the oh snap page on chrome, safari doesnt work, macbook wont let me create any files or for example upload music to itunes. I restored my mac so im sure its not a malware problem. The only thing that solves it is switching off and on , but sometimes I have to do that for 6-7 times before its ok or wait for a few hours. Some help please
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
My wife and I own an iMac (April 2011) and just recently got iPhones. We share one iTunes account (mainly for our uploaded music from CD). Do we each need to have our own iTunes account? What about iCloud? We want to utilize the same Calendar/Contacts

Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?
No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library). -
recently I have install windows 7 in my old laptop since then the program Itunes have 2 libraries one at the top which I can put in new music and the other just below my I touch device botton.

Before I never have problems cause I could only see one library and not 2 like now .....HELP !!!!!
I do not understand what you mean about two libraries. Can you post a screen shot?
Maybe this will help with your problem
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

Hi, when I upload music into itunes from a cd it sometimes appears in itunes as two different albums and split up the music in 2 or even three albums....how can i merge these albums...this is particularly true when one album may have different composers?
Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
For compilations that aren't, select all tracks, Get Info, and on the option tab set Part of a Compilation to No. If it already says No tick the box alongside, then click OK.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

How do i upload music from my itunes account to my iphone ?
how do i upload music from my itunes account to my iphone ?
Hi viper1997,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
There are two ways to get music onto your iPhone. If you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, you can setup manual syncing so that you transfer the playlists, artists or albums that you want on your iPhone.
You can also download music you've already purchased from the iTunes store to your iPhone at any time.
The following links will provide additional information to get you started. You don't mention what computer you are using, so I'll assume a Mac for now, as the basics are the same.
The iPhone User Guide is a good place to start:
