When you preorder an album....

Ok, so I preordered Gorillaz's Plastic Beach like a month ago on the first day they started preordering. At the time I didn't have any iTunes cards redeemed (my balance was $0), and just today I bought a $25 card and redeemed it. When it comes to the day that the album is released, when I go on iTunes, will the preordered album be charged to my credit card or will they take it off the money I have on my iTunes account? Or do they give a choice when you open iTunes? Is there some place where you can manage your preordered albums? Let me know, thanks!

I believe that if you have a gift card balance, they'll charge that first. If the balance on the gift card doesn't cover the full balance of the album, then they'll charge your credit card for any remaining balance.

How do you make it so that the ipod will play all the different artists featured in an album when you click that album to play?

How do you make it so that the ipod will play all the different artists featured in an album when you click that album to play? At the moment, each artist in the album is being separated and I can't play them together. For example, to play the Halo 2 Soundtrack, Hoobastank, Breaking Benjamin, Nile Rodgers, etc. are some of the artists featured. However, in the Albums category, they are each separate choices. I want to play them all together, but can't. Is there a way to do that?

It sounds like the album metadata is incorrect, or differs from song to song in iTunes. Albums with various artists will play properly assuming all the songs are tagged with the same identical album name, as well as the track number. For the Halo 2 Soundtrack, metadata should look like this:
Song: <Song Title>
Artist: <Song Artist>
Album: Halo 2, Vol. 1 (Original Soundtrack)
Genre: Soundtrack
I had a similar problem with my imported Cowboy Bebop albums and the mixture of artists/album names. Once I adjusted the metadata, all of them play in the correct order just by selecting the Album from the available list or in Coverflow.

When you show all albums, why can you only sort albums by best sellers, release date, etc., sometimes?

Sometimes I can sort albums by release date and other times I don't have the option. Its frustrating. I tried to look in preferences but couldn't change it.

I agree that Apple should improve the year field to be an actual date.
I am not 100% happy doing this, but when you have multiple albums from a single artist for the same release year, a temporary solution is to chage the album title by adding an outline type letter before album titles for that year, so that they appear in the correct order:
David Bowie
1977
a. Low
David Bowie
1977
b. "Heroes"
etc
This could help in the short term until Apple changes that field.

When you download an album does it download the booklet

When I download a commerically released album via itunes does it also download the booklet that would have come with the CD (had I ordered it as a CD elsewhere)? If so, where does it save it? If not, is there an option to download the booklet?

"When I download a commerically released album via itunes does it also download the booklet that would have come with the CD"
Only if the booklet is included. If so, it will be listed with the songs when you view the album in the iTunes store.

When you preorder the iphone5, how do you switch your existing number to that phone?

I have an ATT iphone4 now. If I preorder the iphone5 tomorrow via Apple.com, how do I switch the phonenumber from old phone to new phone once I get it in hand?

When ordering you will provide your cell phone number and AT&T account info. When you receive the iPhone and activate it, it will take over that phone number.

If you preorder a album on itunes does it automatically download when it is available

ok so the new tpain album comes out tomorrow...if i preorder it now will i get it at midnight?

HT1386 i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes in my phone is missing when you open the "album" section of itunes installed on my phone. how can i get my album artwork to show up in the album section

i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes installed on my phone is missing some of the album artwork when i go to the "album" section of itunes in my phone. How can i get the album artwork to show up

first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

Does it support transparency when you want print album on iphoto 11

i want to try to print an illustrator draw that i made on an album and on cards but i am worried to loose the transparacy and have a black background does anyone have tryed this kind of thing ? does it support transpiracy for printing apple card and album

Did you Preview it?
To make a PDF file using the background shortcut menu:
Open the book project, open the card project, or open the calendar project.
Press the Control key while you click in the background of your project.
Do one of the following:
Choose “Save Book as PDF,” “Save Card as PDF,” or “Save Calendar as PFD” from the shortcut menu. In the window that appears, enter a name for the PDF file, enter a location to save the file to, and then click the Save button.
Choose Preview Book, Preview Card, or Preview Calendar from the shortcut menu. The Preview application opens and shows a PDF file of your project. You can save it just as you would any other document.

In Music, sometimes an album that has more than one artist, only one shows up, how do I get them all that are all on the album to play in sequence when I select that album?

I can't figure out why, on my ipod touch in Music, when I select some albums that have more than one artist, the whole album doesn't come up to play all together. This happens in some compilations, and only ne song shows up from each artist on the album. Or like on an artist's album that has someone else singing with her. I get that they are on the same line as an artist, but the album is an album, and when you play an album, the whole thing should play - right? Thanks for your help!

Generally all you need do is give tracks from the same album a common Album Artist. See Grouping tracks into albums. The images need an update but the basic info. still holds.

When you can't sync iphoto with your iphone

When itunes gives you an error while trying to sync your pix from iphoto just go into the iphoto library and delate the folder named "iPod Photo Cache".
When you rename an album in iphoto, since the cache file doesnt change, you end up having a mismatch which messes up itunes' mind, therefore just delate that folder (it will automatically recreate with new titles once you sync your iphone again) and everything is going to be alright!

Okay, I solved my problem. Not obvious or easy, but here's what I did. (I'm cutting and pasting the instructions I found that I followed, along with additional clarification from me below):
I went to my iPhoto library in the Finder. There's a file named AlbumData.xml. If you double click it, it should open in Safari. When I opened mine, at the top it said that it was displaying everything up to line so-and-so where there was an error. Good! Now I'm on to something. Next, I used the Find function in Safari to search for "AlbumName". The last "AlbumName" it found was just before the end of the file, so I went back to the next to last "AlbumName" and made note of the album name immediately after it. Then, I opened iPhoto, found the corresponding album in iPhoto to the next to last album name in the AlbumData.xml. Then I changed the name of the album immediately after it (which should have been the last album name in the AlbumData.xml file, but was not displayed because there was an error). Closed iPhoto, opened iTunes, everything works!
Additional clarification: You'll note that when you open the xml file in Safari (drag and drop - and I had two files, oddly, I used the one without a number 2) it says at the top "BELOW IS A RENDERING OF THE PAGE UP TO THE FIRST ERROR". Scanning into the final lines I noticed that a slideshow was what the instructions seemed to be about - a "12 months" sort of deal. I deleted that slideshow from my iPhoto, and voila, all restored when I synced my iPhone with iTunes.
The point is, whatever is at the end of the safari presentation of the xml file is what you should focus on....

IPad Music App in IOS 7 is such a crap, When you gonna update it ?

Guys Guys Guys, What happened to you ?
Since the ios7 1st update am Waiting for Music app to be updated. I liked iphone music app, and i thought i could get in my ipad also but sad !
since that day am waiting for music app update. In real words you guys f****d up the MUsic app. you should have make it better than iOS 6 but its such a crap i cant even think of opening it.
There are no any major Pros if you guys compare it with iOS 6 Music app and Cons are First of all App is not Good in Looks Second, there were no need to show album art in Songs List & Third, it could not show Now Playing screen when you tap on album art such as in Itunes desktop app.
Guys if you Cannot update the app then Please give us iOS 6 Music app back.

Agreed!!
The new Music app in iOS7 is horrible. Reduced functionality and the functionality that is there doesn't make intuitive sense.
My main issues/corrections:
1) Give the user an option to display, or not display, the large album art beside the Artist listing. The large album art beside each Artist takes up too much room and conveys no useful information.
2) Within each Artist allow the user to select a listing of the albums (as in iOS6). Scrolling through albums does not make sense. Allow the user to select from a list!
3) Within each Artist allow the user to sort the albums alphabetically. Sort the albums by title NOT date! Why sorting albums by date?
4) Within each Artist replace the selection to play all songs (as in iOS6). In iOS7 only option is to shuffle play the songs.
As it stands now in iOS7 the Music app has reduced functionality and is a horrible experience for the user.

If i preorder an album when will it charge me

if i preorder an album when will it charge me

My experience is with the iPhone 4S and the "new" iPad, both of which I ordered early on the opening pre-order day. In both cases the wording from Apple during the media event was "pre-orders will start on ABC date for delivery on XYZ date" which was also the same day they were to go on sale in stores. In both cases, the UPS truck rolled up earlier than usual XYZ date as promised to hand me my new iPhone/iPad. In both cases there were instances of confusion due to some pre-order confirmations stating incorrectly "SCHEDULED SHIPPING DATE: XYZ". In both cases that caused much fear, panick, and trepidation that fed upon itself as it permeated a widely scattered forum linked community of "adults" that seem to collectively revert to a state of childish impatience and ultimately child-like glee as they obsessively refresh their dedicated tracking browser window; become convinced that there is no hope of escaping the dread delayed shippment, and then finally receive their new toy exactly when they were supposed to. Not that I personally would ever succumb to that of course. Er uhm ... it's just what I've seen you know .. nothing I can really relate to.

I want to preorder an album but there is one song available for purchase now. If I preorder the album now do I get the already released song now or when the album in its entirety is released?

I want to preorder an album but I also want to purchase (now) a song that has already been released. In the past I would, but then "complete album" later but it causes porblems with playlists (leaving prepurchased songs out and I have to manually add them to the album playlist). If I preorder the album now, do I get the already released songs now?

Hello jandcsmom,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iTunes Store: About pre-orders
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5714
Some pre-orders include songs that are available for download immediately. When you pre-order, you will be charged only for these songs and you will receive them immediately.
Have a nice day,
Mario

How do you isolate an album or artist in the new iTunes? (12.0) It is really frustrating when trying to listen to one album and I get the album in the list with all 1,025 other albums in my library.

How do you isolate an album or artist in the new iTunes? (12.0) It is really frustrating when trying to listen to one album and I get the album in the list with all 1,025 other albums in my library. Same with the artist.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
... I assumed that if I played the 1st track, it would continue to play the rest of the album (as iTunes does on my Macs and PCs),...
You assumed correctly, and it should continue to play the rest of the album in order. Does this happen to all your albums. Have you tried restarting the tv.

Why does the Photos app not put photos in order of date when you create albums?

I have a lot of photos taken on holiday in Iceland and wanted to create an album of just the best ones to show friends. When you look through the whole lot in 'Collections' they are in date order, but in the 'Album' they are jumbled up. Anyone know how to reset them into order? I know you can move them around by 1. holding it till it wobbles then 2. moving to another place in the sequence ... but this is both impractical and horribly complex when dealing with a large number of photos. There should be a 'sort' feature that allows different options within albums, As an IT professional since 1967 (yes there were computers then ;-) it just seems odd that such a basic feature is missing. Come on Apple, get your act together!

Bug in iPhoto '11. Apple just released iPhoto 9.1.3 designed to fix this.
