When i import my music folder itunes puts alot of albums together in one large unknown album
so when i go to look for an album , they are in seperate folders in and they have titles,i have to go into the unknown album and find each track its ridiculious theres gotta be some way i can just re import my whole library and itunes should find each folder with seperte albums inside it and create albums no matter what the name is, for instance gd1972-6-11, i changed the name of the folder to live grateful dead, so i should have artist name in itunes that says live grateful dead, then each folder inside that one should be albums. idk about id3 tags they should b created during import. alot of these files ive had to convert addd album art and so on, and theres alot of them. im trying to setup the music for an iphone, this is my second one and the first one i suffered for years looking for certain music inside the ipod and essentially never listened to any of the unkown album jumbles cus the tracks arent in order. now i have trried get info and that has helped in some cases but the ones already inside the largest unknown album at the bottom about 431 albums mixed up, it doesnt work get info isnt helping on any one of these albums. im willing to delete itunes or the librarry since i have it set not to copy files and reimport but i need to know what to do for these albums to b reckognized thanks for reading and hope someone has a solution
iTunes doesn't pay attention to the file and folder names, only to the tags. If the files are untagged you can use a third party program like MediaMonkey (Google it, the forum software won't let me post a link today) before you add the tracks to iTunes, or if you can make sure that you add them in such a way that iTunes doesn't rename and move them (turn off the Keep... & Copy... and copy preferences and don't use the Automatically Add to iTunes folder) then I have a script called TagFromFilename at
samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp#TagFromFilename
that may be able to apply the information provided the tracks are in Artist and then Album folders.

When I import a CD to itunes, it splits the album in to multiple entries. I have changed the info on some but others just will not merge. Is there an easy way to do this and can I stop them from splitting in future? Thanks
Okay this is what fixed my problem. Some kind of error/glitch occured half-way through importing that third cd that prevented further imports from any other cd. Once I completely removed the half-imported cd album from my library I could further import cd's without any problems.

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? -
Has anyone heard of error 45054 when trying to purchase music from itunes?
Has anyone run into error 45054 when trying to purchase music from itunes?
I had this problem just recently.
I discovered that the problem was located here: ROOT / Users / Shared -- if you open that and the "adi" folder has a little red minus symbol in its corner, your permissions have somehow been lost. (If you can't see your root directory, open Finder Preferences and, under sidebar, check "Hard disks." That will make your root drive visible.)
If the "adi" folder has the red minus symbol, right-click the folder and select GET INFO.
Sharing & Permissions is probably set to "System: Read & Write | wheel: Read Only | everyone: No Access"
If so, your user account has no permissions, and that means iTunes can't use the folder properly.
To fix this, first unlock the folder using the padlock icon in the bottom-right corner of "get info." You will have to supply your admin password to do this.
Then click the little + sign in the bottom left corner to add a user, and select your user ID from the list of choices. Give yourself Read & Write permissions. (Alternatively, you could change the permissions of "everyone" to Read & Write; others have done that, but I was leery of doing it).
Re-lock the folder when you're done.
Hopefully that will solve it. -
Hi i want to import my music to itunes
I want to import my music to itunes, and immediately place it on several different playlists. The playlists i eventually want in itunes are stored on my drive in separate folders. How do i do this quickly (not having to sort through ALL my music) ?? ..What i want: HD Folders = iTunes playlists.

Pelotero,
Create a new playlist by using the command File > New Playlist. It will show up under the name "untitled playlist," which you can immediately change to the name you want.
Click its new name to open the playlist. Then drag the folder of songs into the open pane. Each song in the folder will be added to the playlist, and to the library if it is not already there.
As you see, there is no sorting required. Try it once with a folder of 3-4 songs so you can see how it works. -
When I imported my CDs into ITunes it split some of them into 2 or 3 separate albums. Is there a way to recombine them back into one album?
If your CD has tracks with different artists, then you need to identify it 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.

When I open a music in itunes got a message "connecting to apple tv" and got no sound from my mac.
AirPlay isn't anything to do with homesharing. (Home sharing lets you share the iTunes libraries on computers)
Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Restart your mobile device. -
I'm having difficulty importing purchased music from iTunes store to my new MacBook Air
I am having difficulty importing purchased music from iTunes to my new MacBook Air
What problem are you having ?
You should be able to copy your library from your old computer : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer. Or if both computers are connected to the same wifi network then you could use home sharing to copy it over. Or copy it from your backup of your downloads/library and add it via File > Add To Library.
You might also be able to redownload some/all of your past purchases via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage,or by going into iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) and ticking the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tickbox - it might then show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against it for redownloading. -
The original clips dont have them but when i import them to fcp it puts black bars on the sides of my video and i cant get rid of them
Here's my final (and simple diagnosis) You have 4 x 3 footage that your are trying to screen at 16:9. This won't work.
Artistically, you have three options:
1.) Stay with the "black bars." What some of us call "Bat Wings," in the biz.
2.) Do what some editors do and create a large "fuzzy" background to extend the edges...
3.) Or transform / crop the image. (Or just use the "fill" option in the "Spatial Transform" section of the inspector
But... You WILL lose some of the image -

When I import a ablum the songs show up as albums how do add all the song as an ablum
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.

I want to copy email from my mac to my pc. Forwarding one at a time via email works well, but when I try to forward several of them at a time I receive one large email. I want to receive the emails individually on my pc. Any suggestions?
Don't know any 'automatic' way - but, i have "Fetch Headers only" set on each of my 'secondary accounts'.
With varying internet service, manual "Get Messages" is probably the "Best Practice" because you will know how good your service is before you even try.
maybe set "Check for new messages every 'n' minutes" to different times
(3 minutes, 6 minutes, etc.) on each 'secondary' account. -
Trouble with music folder - when trying to add music to itunes library.
Ever since I updated itunes recently, I have been having difficulty adding music from my music file. When I go to File/Add File to Library it brings me to the default storage location, even though I have gone to Edit/Preferences/Advanced and changed my music folder to what I want to have come up when I go to add a song. My music folder has always been the same, but for some reason, it has all of a sudden decided to change to the default music folder, where my music isn't kept, and I can't seem to change it back. Is anyone having this issue as well? Please help!
chris CA,
I think you missed the question that "fillibrownis" raised (btw, I am seeing the same problem and it is quite frustrating).
The problem is that when we select File/Add File to Library, it throws up a box which displays the windows default music location (which is "My Music" on Windows XP). In previous versions, iTunes used to show the iTunes Music Location, as specified in (Edit/Preferences/Advanced/General). The benefit for such a thing was that user could directly copy music from external sources to the iTunes Music Location (without using the "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to library).
