When I import a commerical CD Itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the second album that it created. Why is itunes doing this and what can I do to combine them into one album?

I found this to be somewhat helpful: Grouping Tracks into Albums
What I did was to put in the same name for Album Artist in every track. That seemed to do the trick (previously all those fields were empty). It seems like a lot of work for a simple thing.
iTunes knows (or should know) that these tracks were imported from one CD. So why is it relying on incomplete data from the gracenote database?

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location. They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

HT4910 I have many notes on my notes app Last week the notes on my ipad disappeared while they were still on my iphone. i have so many notes, how can i get them from my phone to my pad thought icloud did this automatically from onedevice to another

I have many notes on my iphone and ipad notes app They used to be synced between the two Suddenly they disappeared from my ipad and then from my iphone., The notes came back to my iphone but not to the ipad. How can they be synced together and how can they stay on my devices without icloud taking them off.,

Welcome to the Apple community.
I'm not sure whether this works with notes, (it works with contacts etc) Paul might be worth a try:
Try turning off notes syncing in your settings > iCloud and then turning them back on, hopefully you will be given the option to merge your notes. Otherwise I am afraid you are going to have to transfer them manually in the manner which you have already described.

A music album is listed multiple times in my library but each listing only has a few songs in it-not the full listing. How can I combine them into one album and get rid of other duplicate listings?

Several music albums listed in my IPhone 5 music library are listed multiple times, but each one only has a portion of the songs listed. How can I combine them to make one album?

First....Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I am sorry for not getting back to you regarding your suggestion-I had computer issues that just got resolved. Also, this is my first foray into online chat rooms so I have a lot to learn to precisely state my issue! I did as you suggested and all the songs list the same album when I go into each song's "get info". However, I am not sure how to edit as you suggested. When I downloaded this album originally, for some reason it broke up into several albums each with different songs from the original album. I am trying to consolidate them back into one album in my library. I would greatly appreciate further assistance if you can. Also, I do not use "the cloud" to store any data and would like a good source of info on how to do this. Thanks so much for your patience!

After downloading iOS 7 on my 4S I show 8,976 on my email icon. How can I eliminate them all without going one at a time?

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?

I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?

Photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days. After that, they are removed from your photo stream but not from any device that has already received them. Chances are, the 44 photos are from the last 30 days; the others are not there because they are no longer in your photo stream.
If the photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring to the backup should recover them. However, you will have to restore to the entire backup to do so. If they weren't backed up or imported to your computer, there is no way to recover them now.
To be sure your photos are saved, regularly import them from the camera roll to your computer as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

My iCloud and FaceTime accounts are different. How can I combine them?

My iCloud and FaceTime accounts are different. How can I combine them so I can make calls from my macbook pro. One is my me.com account and one is another email account. Thank you

You should have purchased an external hard drive and backed up your entire system and important data before bringing it into an Apple Store to gave them do what you had them do.
If you had any important data, like photos, personal videos, important documents, large music library, etc and had lost all of this by having Apple "clean out" your Mac, without a backup of this data, you would have lost everything on your Mac that was important to you.

HT1399 my itunes library is stored as .aac files how can i convert them all together to mp3

my itunes library is stored as .aac files how can i convert them all together to mp3

Thanks for the quick response. I didn't think of that. I just tried several songs, and it DOES work as you say. Except iTunes downloaded the identical 128 kbps protected files again. These are 90's - "10,000 Maniacs" tracks.
So does this mean Apple doesn't have my "10,000 Maniacs" high bit rate unprotected files available? Then why would anyone even buy any songs through the "iTunes" store, when Amazon sells only 256 kbps MPEG music files, at a little cheaper price than Apple?
I'm missing something. The tracks I want to upgrade are available at Amazon in the higher bit rate format. Maybe iTunes is annoyed at me for using "Windows" on a PC and an "Android" phone?
Thanks again.

All my iCloud photos are downloading to one of my computers, but only the last month's worth to another. How can I get them all to download to both computers?

All my iCloud photos are downloading to one of my computers, but only the last month's worth to another. How can I get them all to download to both computers?

When you on photo stream you will only get photos from the last 30 days (plus future photos added to your stream). That's because they only remain in iCloud for 30 days.
To get the old photos on your computer, import them using your usb cable, as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.

Are you talking about icloud's emails or those from another service like google or yahoo?
If you log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and go to the email page, you will see what's currently stored in icloud. If they are gone, then it's probably "user error". If your computer has backups, then you should be able to restore the email files back to the computer.

There are two ways to get photos and videos on your iPod:
- The can by synced to the iPod using the Photos pane in iTunes. Thises photos and video aenot port of the backup that iTunes makes when you sync.
- The other way is to take photos and videos with the iPod's camera (4G only) or to save like screeen shots or aved email attachments. This type of photos and videos are includd n the backup that iTunes makes. Thus, restoring from backup will retore those photos and video to the iPod up until the time the backup was made. Just make sure that you have auto-syncing turned off in iTunes otherwise iTunes will make a backup and overwite the old one. Do this by checking the box titled "Prevent iPods...syncing" in iTunes>Preferences>Devices.
