When I import a cd with more than one artist iTunes separates each individual artist - how do I get it to show the album as a whole rather than individual artist?

When I import a cd with more than one artist itunes shows each artist's song separately and won't group the album as a whole - this is incredibly frustrating something that Windows media player doesn't do. Does anyone have a simple cure for this annoyance?

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.

When I open an event, including flagged items, the photos appear one by one, not as thumbnails, so I can't export more than one phot at a time. How do I get iPhoto to show the thumbnails?

I've tried rebuilding the thumbnail database, but that hasn't helped.

What version of iPhoto and system are you running?
Try moving the Zoom slider at the bottom of the iPhoto window all the way to the left. Does that let more than one photo display in the window?

Select one and hit the Space bar to view it in QuickLook. Use the forward arrow keys to move from file to file. If the file can't be viewed in the QuickLook mode then the file is damaged and probably can't be copied or moved.
You could try a photo file recovery application like MediaRECOVER which can scan the memory card and tell you what files, if any, can be recovered before you have to purchase it.

I want to back up my 4S but I don't get the correct screen when I plug it into my Mac - Just iPhotos and iTunes (songs) pop up. How do I get to the screen where I can back up and restore?

Hi Spookola,
I don't know how that could have happened. Go through the folders for the rolls and separate the 2005 rolls from the 2006 rolls, then import the 2006 rolls.

When I read an email on my iPad it remains unread on my macbook. How do I get it to "read" the e-mail on both?

When I read an email on my iPad it remains unread on my macbook. How do I get it to "read" the e-mail on both?

I ahve this problem too, my macbook is set up as an imap account for gmail, say I get an email and it shows as new in my gmail, iphone and macbook, and I then read it in my gmail, it is marked read on my iphone but stays as unread on my macbook.
This is really annoying as if I read emails during the day on another computer I can come back to them all being new on the macbook.
Is there a fix for this?

How do you get it to show the temperature when you scroll down?

On some some IDevices I see when you scroll down, it shows the temperature and the date. But on my iPad mini when I scroll down, it just shows the day. But at the bottom it says, " weather information provided by yahoo" I have yahoo weather installed. How do I get it to show the temperature too? Thanks.

Settings->Privacy->Location Services->Weather-> Turn it on.
It will show your current locations weather. Note that it uses GPS and internet access. so it may use your Cellular Data and battery.

Cannot find my calendar events older than one year. Where are they ad how do I get them back?

I cannot find my old events on iCal. It seems it only goes back one year. How can I find them and recover my information and events going back further than that?

Greetings,
Sorry to hear about the missing data.
If you don't see your events there are 2 possibilities:
1.) There is something wrong with the calendar cache
2.) The events have been deleted
First go to iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Delete events.. -- see if this has been checked as this deletes events after a point in time you specify. Even if this is not checked now, if it was ever checked in the past, that will delete events.
To reset iCal's cache and settings in the hope this will bring the events back:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
If the events do not come back then the information you are looking for is truly not in iCal. You will need to restore from a backup (like TimeMachine) from a point in time before the events in question went missing.
If you do not maintain backups of your computer, start now.
Depending on how long ago these events were deleted from iCal you can try using data recovery to bring the files back although as these are past events, you may find that just moving forward from here is simplier than going through the effort but that is of course up to you to decide.
Here are a few examples of data recovery programs:

You can contact a local Apple Authorized Provider to see if they offer data recovery services: http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/
There are many nationwide / worldwide data recovery companies out there. Here are a few examples:

I recently brought a new HP laptop and I downloaded the newly updated iTunes on it; however I have an old Aver laptop with iTunes version 10.7 on it or the one before iTunes 11 came out. How can I transfer my movies from the old version to the new one?

I recently brought a new HP laptop and downloaded iTunes 11 on it. My old laptop which is a Acer has iTunes version 10.7, I believe. I wanted to know, How can I transfer 18 movies from the old iTunes onto my new Itunes? It only shows the most recent two movies when I look at the purchases in my account. I had a lot of moves downloaded last year from the old version and would like some assistance on how to get all those movies into my iTunes 11 library. Thank you.

you should starting with copying the iTunes folder from your old laptop to the new one.
the iTunes folder is in your user profile Music folder.
it should go to the same location on the new laptop.
Provided that you have your media, music and movies in the default location, and you sign in to your apple ID and authorize your new computer (all in iTunes)
you should have all intact.
Post if any problems.

When i sync my iphone, compilation albums show as individual tracks, how can i get these to show as one album

please help!!

Hi mark475,
Sometimes, iTunes may separate songs based on the data stored within the file:
There are three reasons why songs from the same album may not be grouped together
- The album names of the songs may differ slightly
- The songs from the same album may have different artists
- Not all songs in the album have the same "Album Artist" assigned to it
The following article may provide a resolution to your issue:
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1468
You can mark these songs as a compilation in iTunes. In iTunes 8 and later, you find the option to mark multiple items as "Part of a compilation" in the Options tab of the Multiple Item Information window.
Thanks,
Matt M.

When organizing my bookmark folders I accidentally dragged one off screen and it disappeared. How do I get it back?

I was moving folders around and one got dragged off screen. I let go of the mouse and it disappeared. I tried to undo the move but the option was not available. When I go to save a bookmark, the option for the folder is still there, but in the bookmarks section the folder is nowhere to be found.

What was the icon for?
A program or a folder?
For programs look in the Application's folder and simply drag it to the bar and it will make a new "alias" or a short cut to the program in the Applications folder.
The same thing can be done with folders, but it has to be near the Trash can, so be very careful.
That bar at the bottom is called a "Dock" and it just holds things you use most often.

I downloaded 'bookmarks.html' from another Firefox and the book marks don't merge with my existing ones nor will they replace them. How do I get them into a SINGLE 'unsorted bookmarks' file?

My O/S is Windows Vista.
Please explain baby-step-by-baby-step in 'kindergarten' language, will you?

Thanks for the response, cor-el....Seems like I've seen your name and help on the Secunia forum, maybe? And it does seem like I have a separator, but that is not the case. After opening the manager, and all bookmarks, the "Bookmarks Menu", by double clicking, shows 4 separators, and the fourth section has two alphabetized lists, (without a separators) The first list is about thirty, and the second list of all the rest, 100+. I've looked all through the two referrals you mention, and nothing fits. I just downloaded the "SortPlaces" add-on and will see if that works out just to get around the "short list" that tends to throw me off in looking up bookmarks in the main (longer list). Thanks for your suggestions, I will let you know how it works out, but tonite I am ready for the sack....manana..
PS. I am including a screenshot that shows how it is organized, with the short list on the top, and the start of the "A's" on the longer list....(couldn't get any more on the page for the screenshot)

How do I get Firefox to show the proper font and layout of a site when it keeps loading an older version of that site? (I have cleared cache and cookies already)

We are having a new website developed and my designer has made changes to it. Despite clearing the cache and cookies, the fonts are not showing up as the actual fonts. Also, the form fields at the bottom are extending beyond the border on the right side of the box on my screen, but this does not happen for other people using Firefox - it is only on my computer.
I AM ON A MAC.
I received a suggestion to reload the page and bypass the cache with:
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
BUT - this did not work.

You can reload the page and bypass the cache with:
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

How do I get safari to open pop-ups in new tabs rather than in new windows?

Just recently I took my 13" MacBook Pro (Late 2010 Model) to my local Apple Store. When I brought it there they fixed my problem, but in the mean time they had to completely delete and uninstall Safari and Google Chrome off of my laptop. Before the apple store, my Safari would always open pop-ups and links in a new tab, now they open up in a new window. Does anyone know how to change it so they open in new tabs? The reason I need this changed is I might have unecessary websites open, and they would just be taking up space.
Thanks for your help,
–Dan

HT203167 i downloaded the last rush album clockwork angel with my ipod 5 and didn't received the digital booklet.... how can i get it without rebuying the album??

How

Contact the iTunes store support people at expresslane.apple.com (it will be via email), provide them with the date of purchase, the transaction # (from your purchase history), and they will likely regrant the download. You could also try accessing the purchases tab on your device, and try the download again.
