When i updated itunes I lost all my music, I was able to retrieve it from my previous version, but now a artists have all of their songs list under one unknown cd.  How can I seperate these cds with the correct songs included?

When I updated itunes I lost all of my music, I was able to retrieve it from a previous itunes library, but now some artists have all of their songs listed under one "unknown album."  Is there a way to separate these songs back into the correct albums?  Also, is there a way to make songs that have a featured guest just show up with the rest of the album instead of making a whole new spot for it?  Thanks!

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

    I have 2 iphones and 1 ipad on one Apple ID how can I seperate them into different apple ids

    Sign out of the Apple ID on the device in question, making sure to disable the Find My iDevice feature.
    Sign in with the new Apple ID.
    If the intent is to sell the device, simply restore as new after disabling the Find My iDevice and signing out.

  • I was able to print wirelessly from my 4S phone but now I can't. Where on my phone can I check its printing cababilities?

    I can print sometimes from the HP 1100 printer but then I can't. The printer is printing the macbook documents wirelessly so it must be my phone. I can't find any information on my phone about its connectivity to printers.

    Can be a bit convoluted as the phone doesn't actually have any drivers in the tradtional sense.
    What it does is locates WiFi printers on the same network and connects over an adhoc connection.
    The pint job is sent as an e-mail over the Wifi connection and the printer converts that e-mail PDF and sends that as a local print.
    The point of break down is usually the Wifi connection and it may be necessary to reboot the printer to gain a stable link.
    Also make sure your phone is actually connected to the Wifi network and not just the mobile network !
    There are other print solutions you might want to try however these need a Mac/PC host machine.
    On the Mac Pintopia adds the ability to print via the host to just about any USB connected printer and is imo more stable than airprint.the host must be running for this to work.
    You can also try an app called We Print server that works on PC and Mac hosts and allows printing via the 3G network as well as local Wifi. Its very useful.
    Finally you can make some adjustments and view the print job on the iOS device by starting a print then double clicking on the home button in the task bar you will see a new icon called Print Center where you can make minor adjustments and even cancel the job if you want,

  • My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to move everything to the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone:  File>Transfer Purchases
    If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer, then when you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.

  • How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing?

    How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing. The program seems to be picking up the same songs from, for example, my user area and my public area in the C drive

    As above, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library, however 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/merge ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

  • Following two changes to my computer it is only my iPod classic which has my full library of tunes on it - how can I transfer these back to the computer?

    Following two changes to my computer it is only my iPod classic which has my full library of tunes on it - how can I transfer these back to the computer?

    Hello, Ray. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    There are a couple options available to you to transfer purchased media to your computer.  Below, I have included a couple articles that outline this process.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
    Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod to the iTunes library.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    If you still have access to your old computer, see the steps in the article below.

  • How can I gift a playlist, with the songs in the order I choose?

    How can I gift a playlist, with the songs in the order I choose, to a bunch of other people? Since iTunes won't allow me to burn a song more than a few times to disc, and I have to share playlists with my cover band (so we can learn songs), I need the capability to do this.

    Drag them from where? I've tried to drag them from windows explorer and it won't allow me. It seems the only place I can drag files from is from the iTunes library list. The problem is there is no way that I can find to just see the songs from a specific folder on my drive in the iTunes library list. It sorts them by artist, album, genre, etc....but not by folder.

  • How can I port my PSE with the data to a new PC? [was:Jeanné]

    The only way you can do this by installing the PSE on your new machine using the DVD and the serial number you must have bought.  Once this is done, you might want to copy all your photos from the old machine on to a flash drive and then copy them from flash drive to your Pictures folder and let PSE finds them and catalogs them automatically.
    This method is ideal if your haven't created very sophisticated catalog in your old machine because you may also want to transfer the old catalog on to your new PC so that you don't have to re-create the catalog from scratch.  If you want to transfer the catalog as well then on your old PC launch PSE Organizer and go to:
    File >> Backup Catalog
    This is also saved on the removable flash drive
    Now go to the new PC and launch Organizer and do almost the same thing except:
    File >> Restore Catalog
    Now this should almost get you started.
    Good luck.
