Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

ITunes freezing when copying added files to ITunes folder

Hi all,
I have been running ITunes off of an external hard drive for as long as I can remember. I recently got a little NetBook, and it runs much faster than my older, slower desktop, so I figured I would just transfer all of my music to the NetBook.
I have the "copy files to ITunes folder when added" button checked, so when I add things to my NetBook library from the external hard drive, it will make a copy on the NetBook's hard drive.
I have tried adding a small folder twice, and both times it has frozen up on different songs. One time it froze while adding a song I had purchased from ITunes. The other time it froze while adding a song that I ripped from a CD.
Are these files corrupt? Is there any way to locate all of the corrupt files on my external hard drive and delete/clean them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

To know whether a song file is corrupt, find it in Windows, right-click the file and use Open With > iTunes. If the file is OK, it will add to the library and start playing. If iTunes thinks the file is not valid, it will "error silently," i.e. do nothing.
The other thing to note is that big Adds sometimes error in iTunes for no apparent reason. If the files are not corrupt, and they don't add in big batches, add them in smaller batches.

Why do i not get album info when copying cd's into itunes?

I have been importing music from my cd's into my itunes library. I am wondering why album info and track names do not automatically transfer over into itunes? I am having to type each song name and album name in individually - is there a way around this?
Cheers

That just depends who made the CD. Some have that info, and some don't. It sounds like the one's you're importing don't.
Also, some get that info off the Internet, so you'll want that computer connected while importing.

i did not understand is that my client copy is successful or not
but log file shows successful,
if it is successful means why some lines are deleted

Hi,
As per your logs, you have run the test run, so client copy is not happened. If status in SCC3 is successful then client copy is successful. You can also further check logs.
Thanks

I have the same problem. I think that someone tried my iphone before me because when I want to reset it, I'm invited to enter a password that I didn't set. Also, when I go the Map application, the iphone indicate that I'm locateded in China while I'm in Tunisia. Now, I can't connect to my iphone to itunes, and I can't reset it because it ask me to enter a password that I didn't set.

I have copied my CDs into iTunes (currently running v11) to play on my iPod. I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running. How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?

I tried Notpod but can't get it to work. Part of the problem, I suspect, is that I can't create a folder on my player (a SanDisk Clip+). I also can't do this in Windows Explorer. Whilst I can see the Clip+ in Explorer, the option to create a new folder isn't there.
The error mesag I get in Notpod is:
"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit the application will close immediately.
InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'SelctedIndex'. Parameter name: SelectedIndex"
Then, when I plug the Clip+ into a USB port, iTunes thinks it is my iPad - which is because, I guess, Notpod hasn't worked.
I can drag and drop files from the Music folder where my iTunes tracks are stored onto the Clip+ and they get converted but I'd rather synchronise a Playlist from iTunes if I can.
Thanks anyone who can help

IPod classic fails to sync some tracks from iTunes

I use an iPod Classic 160 GB with iTunes. Both are fully up to date. Every time I sync with iTunes roughly 500 of 5000 odd tracks fail to sync. This number fluctuates, but stays around the 500 mark. iTunes does not recognise this problem - it claims to have synced completely. It is only when I go through certain Albums I notice that some tracks are missing. It tends to affect the same artists, but different songs are missing within any given Album each time. (ie: a song may appear on the iPod one try, then be gone the next.)
All my tracks are either AAC audio file or MPEG audio file. The problem seems to affect them irrespective of kind.
There is plenty of space on the iPod, with over 100 GB free.
I have tried Retry, Reset, Restart, Reinstall, Restore - all multiple times, with no result. I have tried syncing auto and manually, and wiping both iTunes and iPod every way I can think of. Still, when I sync, the problem remains.
This problem is driving me crazy, especially since I can find no cause, and no applicable advice on forums. I have searched Help forums for answers, but everything that comes up either doesn't match or I have already tried with no result.
Please help.
If I need to give more detail for an accurate diagnosis please let me know.
I will be eternally greatful to anyone who can help.
Thank you, Jonny.

I'm also having the same issue. I have recently had to get rid of my old PC that my ipod was synced to and so have now had to sync my ipod to my new laptop. The problem started as soon as I did this - at first it was saying that my laptop wasn't authorised in the itunes store, but it is and I have reconfirmed this. All of my music was copied across from old computer but there are around 2000 songs not syncing. If anyone can help it would be hugely appreciated, it's driving me mad! One other thing is that I went to download all of my previous itunes purchases to this laptop but only 3 of them actually downloaded - I had separately copied them across from my old computer anyway but wanted to keep the list of my purchases - when I go into my account it thinks I have downloaded everything so won't let me do it again. I'm assuming both problems relate in some way to the new machine, but I don't know why.

Some tracks won't play in iTunes anymore

I have a number of .mp3 files that iTunes used to play, but now no longer will. Nothing happens when I double click on them or press play. Most of my other tracks play fine.
When I "get info" about the problem tracks within iTunes, and I click on Summary, I notice that the Format, Channels, ID3 Tag, and Encoded With fields are no longer present. The file type is still MPEG, and when I locate the files through the finder and get info, they are .mp3 files with an .mp3 extension.
I've read some discussion of this problem on these boards, and some have suggested that the problem occurs when one tries to play the files through QuickTime. This isn't my case. (Quicktime says "the movie could not be opened.") But I have noticed that the problem tracks do have in common album titles in which I have included a colon. I allow iTunes to organize my files, and usually--and even in the case of these problem files--an underscore replaces the colon when iTunes creates the album folder in my Music folder. I bring this up only to suggest that one common denominator for the problem files is the presence of a colon in the album name for the iTunes tag, although the presence of a colon is not a guarantee that the file will not play.
I have tried copying a trouble file to the desktop, deleting the file from the library and from the Music folder (although I haven't emptied the trash) and then trying to restore the copy to my iTunes library. iTunes won't accept the file.
Any ideas? What a crazy problem!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Unfortunately, you are not alone with this. However, I have yet to come across a solution to the problem after many hours trawling these discussion boards and the net.
I have exactly the same symptoms. But my common denominator is ‘missing Album Artwork’. Although the album has Artwork, all the tracks that have ceased playing and are being ignored by iTunes, have lost their Artwork.
This would suggest a problem with the ID3 tags i.e that they have become corrupted. Of course, the recent update from iTunes 6 to 7 which introduced the ‘Coverflow’ technology has coincided with the start of my problem. A quick glance at the ‘last played’ date of the problem tracks confirm that the corruption of the ID3 tag is DEFINETLY post iTunes7.
I have tried editing the metadata with an ID3 tag editor, and can change everything except the Artwork field. If anyone has found a way to restore a track after the same problem, please post…many thanks.

Why is some artwork missing from my iPod when it is correct in iTunes?

I have had great trouble trying to sync my iPod Touch (4th Gen running iOS 6.0.1) with iTunes (10.7.0.21) for Windows. Every 2000 or so tracks (out of about 15,000), iTunes says that some tracks could not be copied and that the connection with the iPod has timed out. This has resulted in losing up to 12,000 already synced tracks, and having to startagain from scratch (at least three times). I have resolved the issue by just syncing two or three albums at a time until the fault occurs, and making sure that there is no syncing taking place when I have to do a hard reset to close iTunes. The problem I'm having now is that there are several albums with the artwork missing - despite the fact that it was ok on previous syncs, and the fact that it is all present and correct in iTunes! I've heard that you should clear the artwork cache - is this correct, and if so how do you do it?
Any suggestions gratefully received!
Andrew Morten

All I can suggest is:
Try:
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

HT201253 Iphone 5s not syncing music to phone with itunes 12.0.1.26 - also cannot download full purchased albums, only some tracks

The fun of new updates on my Windows 8.1 laptop and iphone 5S 64gb.
I noticed since my last sync that some tracks had magically been removed - so I wanted to full sync. This couldn't even be instigated unless I deleted all my music off of phone, now it just hangs when syncing - for hours. No updates on how many tracks out of how many tracks have been synced.
Also my purchased albums - I can see them on itunes as whole ones that are purchased, same on iphone.
I then go to iphone to download my purchased items via itunes app, and it only shows some songs. An example is Drake, Game etc. - seems to affect full albums I've bought that are "deluxe" editions.
All the normal/single edition albums seem fine.
Absolutely fantastic, can't get my music onto phone except some purchased items - and even then it doesn't show all my purchases.
Not sure if setting up family share affected things, but it can't even handle the simple tasks let alone downloading content from other users purchasers (which it detects fine ironically). New features but can't do anything that has previously been fine.
Flabbergasted, had one work iphone4s 16gb and 64gb personal previously - no problems with same laptop.
My alienware laptop is very high spec with SSD, so the fault does not lie here - apple related software or product.

It couldn't do over 50gb in one go, had to do two half syncs to get all music on - i think this is limitation of the itunes software - pretty shocking really.

When I download a CD to iTunes, some CD's appear as separate albums. How can I correct this?
for some reason iTunes appears to believe some tracts are from a separate album. For instance, one recently released Rod Stewart CD HAS 8 tracts on one album and the remaining two tracts on two separate albums, all albums are called the correct album name?

If your CD has tracks with different artists, or if there are differences in how the artist field is filled in for the different tracks, then you can fix this by identifying the disc as a 'compilation' CD.
Select all of the tracks in the CD, then 'get info' (control-I), and go to 'Options'. Select 'yes' for 'Part of a compilation'. That should fix the problem.

Hello - thx for reply.
However, the Steve Maguire article is from 2010. Has Apple a simple solution now eg some way of dragging individual songs to one album cover? I'm not very I.T. literate

In the past, when I updated iTunes, some items would be 'lost'. I quit updating, still running 10.6. I do keep my files on an external hard drive, which I plug in before starting iTunes. If I leave the drive off, and update, would that keep me from losing any files? Also, does anyone know how to search the iTunes store by price? I'm particularly interested in movies and audiobooks... Thanks

iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first. Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one? The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless). To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes. To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
Realize what you are talking about is not "backup". Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.
