Why do I have an album that changes genre when I play it?

I imported a cd and iTunes assigned it an incorrect genre. I changed this genre to to liking but when I go to play songs from the album, they move back to the genre iTunes assigned. Furhtermore, I am unable to add album art to this album regardless of the genre. Any ideas? Thanks!

Any ideas?

    We usually advice first to Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache in case of such problem and then do a check for extensions to see if any are causing the problem.
    * 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)
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Your should be able to delete the broken entries, then redownload from the Purchased link in the right-hand column of the iTunes Store page.

  • I have several albums that iTunes has split; how do I join them into one ?

    I have several albums that iTunes has slit up. How can I put them back together?

    Purchases using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID. Purchases are forever tied to that Apple ID used. You have to decide which Apple you want to use for purchases and stick to that Apple ID so that you can share: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID : > use the same Apple ID here to share purchases.

  • HT1349 I have multiple albums that I've purchased that iTunes will not allow me to play stating they cannot locate the source. I then tried going into available downloads in iTunes to see if I needed to download it again, and iTunes tells me it is already

    I have multiple albums that I've purchased through iTunes, and iTunes will not allow me to play them stating they cannot locate content.I tried going into iTunes Store and look for available downloads, but the store shows it's already downloaded. It's a lot of music i've bought and can't play. How do I fix this?

    Forget the pad for a moment and just think about I tunes on your computer.  Every now and then( 3 times over 6 years) when doing an I tunes upgrade, I tunes seems to lose track of some of my music files.  They show up in the I tunes listing, but when you try to play, it cannot find the source.   The cause is always that I have somehow moved some or all of the music to a library that is outside of the set of libraries I have dragged into I tunes.
    On your computer, search for one of the songs.  All the missing ones are probably together, and when you find one, you will find the rest.  When you find it, note the directory  and file path to where it lives, then add that path to your I tunes
    Ibarra.
    Note, the original listing will still be in I tunes, so you will get double listings for theses songs, and no easy way to tell which is the valid ane and which is not, other than the ! Symbol when it cannot find the file.  I know of no good way to get rid of the duplicate listing except manually going through and deleting them.
    One you get them back into your I tunes library, they will sync and play fine.
    Second side effect,  if you are streaming to atv, and it comes accross one of those entries that leads nowhere, it simply stops streaming, and you have to restart the play.

  • Why do I have separate albums covers for each song

    why do I have separate albums covers for each song?

    Apple is a business. And a business exists only to make a profit and incidentally render a service. The corporation cares about you equally as much as Microsoft does. C'est la vie! 

  • Why do I have saved podcasts on my iphone when I haven't saved any podcasts?

    A fairly basic question - Why do I have saved podcasts on my iphone when I haven't saved any podcasts?
    And a possibly related question "Why do podcasts I have deleted from my phone often reappear, but in the cloud?".
    And finally "How is the podcast app supposed to work?" and "Why doesn't apple even try to explain aspects of the app (i.e what "My Episodes", "Feed" and "Saved" is meant to mean). 

    Good morning mickp99,
    I'm going to start with your third question first ... there are two main ways to learn about our apps.    The first is the main product support page for the app online.  The second is the user manual for the device (your iPhone). Here are the resources for the Podcasts app.  The answers to questions one and two above may lie in the settings you have for downloading and syncing the podcasts you are seeing.  I've highlighted some key information for you below.  Click on the links for complete information.

    Podcasts app for iOS: Browsing and searching - Apple Support
    Podcasts app for iOS: Stream, download, and subscribe to podcasts - Apple Support
    Downloading
    If you download a podcast episode, a copy of the episode is stored on your iOS device so you can play it anytime you like even if there's no Internet connection.
    Browse or Search for a podcast.
    Tap a podcast to view details.
    Tap the download icon next to an episode.
    The podcast will start to download and will appear in My Podcasts. When you use a cellular data connection, the maximum download size is 100 MB per episode.
    Subscribing
    You can subscribe to your favorite podcasts.  Whenever a new episode is available your iOS devices will get them automatically.
    Browse or Search for a podcast.
    Tap a podcast to view details.
    Tap Subscribe.
    Once you subscribe to a podcast it will appear in My Podcasts. The latest episode of the podcast will also begin to download.
    Podcasts app for iOS: Managing subscriptions - Apple Support
    My Podcasts
    Once you subscribe to a podcast, it'll appear in My Podcasts in the Podcasts app. Different parts and features of My Podcasts are described below.
    View: Swipe down with one finger to switch between tile or list view.
    Edit: Tap Edit to delete any podcast you're subscribed to or rearrange the order that your podcasts appear.
    Subscription Details: When you tap a podcast that you're subscribed to, you can view the latest unplayed episodes under the Unplayed tab. If you tap Feed, you'll see all available episodes. If you've saved any episodes of podcasts you'll be able to view those under the Saved tab.
    Notification badges: Once you've subscribed to a podcast, you may notice a badge on the Podcasts app. This shows the number of podcast episodes newly available since you last opened the app. Once you open the app, the badge will disappear until new podcast episodes are available.
    If you're browsing your subscriptions in My Podcasts, you'll see red badges next to your podcasts if you're in tile view or just a number next to each podcast in list view. These badges show you the number of episodes of each podcast that are unplayed.
    Settings
    There are two places you can change subscription settings for your podcasts.
    Default settings: From your Home screen, tap Settings and then Podcasts. These settings are shared by all of your podcast subscriptions. These are known as default podcast settings.
    Refresh Every: You can choose how often your iOS device checks for new episodes to your subscriptions. It's set to check every six hours by default.
    Limit Episodes: You can pick how many episodes you see for subscriptions.
    Download Episodes: The latest episodes of your podcasts will download automatically if your iOS device is connected to Wi-Fi.
    Delete Played Episodes: If this is turned on, episodes will delete 24 hours after you finish playing them.
    Use Cellular Data: If your iOS device has a cellular connection, you can allow downloads to use cellular data when Wi-Fi isn't available. This is off by default. Downloads using cellular data are limited to 100MB per episode. If an episode is larger than that, it won't start downloading until you're connected to Wi-Fi.
    Podcast-specific settings: The second place you'll find subscription settings is within the Podcasts app. Tap a podcast subscription under My Podcasts and pull down with one finger to reveal the settings buttons. These settings are unique to each subscription. If you don't change anything here, the podcast subscription will just use the default settings. If you do make changes to a specific subscription’s settings, they'll only apply to that podcast.
    Play: This setting lets you change the order in which a subscription plays. If you're listening to a news style podcast, you may want to set this to play the new episodes first. If the series is more episodic, you may prefer to play oldest to newest.
    Sort Order: This changes the sort order of episodes that appear for a podcast (not its playback order).
    Subscribed: When this is on, new episodes of this podcast will be marked as unplayed as they become available.
    Refresh Every: You can choose how often your iOS device checks for new episodes to your subscriptions. It's set to check every six hours by default.
    Limit Episodes: You can pick how many episodes you see for subscriptions.
    Download Episodes: The latest episodes of your podcasts will download automatically.
    Delete Played Episodes: If this is on, episodes will be deleted 24 hours after you finish playing them unless you've marked them as Saved.
    Inactive subscriptions
    If you do not play or access a subscription within 15 days, your subscription to that podcast will go inactive and you will no longer receive updates to it. As soon as you access the subscription again it will refresh.
    Podcasts app for iOS: Organizing your podcasts with stations - Apple Support
    Play iTunes Playlists
    If you sync your iTunes Playlists from iTunes on your Mac or PC, any playlist containing podcasts will appear in My Stations in the Podcasts app for iOS. If you have a playlist that is a mix of music and podcasts, only the podcasts will show in that playlist in the Podcasts app for iOS.
    Podcasts app for iOS: Playback controls - Apple Support
    Podcasts for iOS: Sync podcasts - Apple Support
    You can sync your podcast subscriptions, stations, and playback position between your iOS devices, computers with iTunes, and Apple TV.
    Here's what you'll need:
    An Apple ID. Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID on all your devices.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 7 or later.
    Mac or PC with iTunes 11.2 or later.
    Apple TV with Apple TV software version 6.0 or later.
    Turn on syncing
    Sign in with the same Apple ID on any computer or iOS device that you want to sync podcasts.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Tap Settings > Podcasts.
    Turn Sync Podcasts on or off.
    Mac or PC
    Open iTunes.
    Choose iTunes > Preferences, then click the Store tab.
    Select "Sync podcast subscriptions and settings."
    Learn what syncs
    When you sync podcasts, you also sync subscriptions, stations, and play position. Here's everything that syncs.
    Subscriptions
    Subscribing. Syncing podcast subscriptions will download the newest episode for each podcast that you're subscribed to (but not previous episodes for that podcast). If you download other episodes for a subscription on a device, they won't automatically download to your other devices. See how to transfer episodes and playlists.
    Unsubscribing. If you unsubscribe from a podcast on a device, all of your other devices will unsubscribe to that podcast. If you subscribe to that podcast again, all of your other devices will also subscribe again.
    Deleting. If you delete a subscription on a device, all of your devices will automatically unsubscribe to that podcast. If you delete a podcast on your iOS device, iTunes on your computer will show the message "This podcast has been deleted from another device, but has saved episodes."
    If you click Resolve, you'll see the message "Do you want to delete or restore syncing of the podcast?"
    If you want to keep any episodes that you saved on your computer, click Restore Sync on the message. The subscription will sync back to your other devices.
    If you want to delete the podcast and all its episodes, click Delete. If you delete a podcast subscription on your computer, it will delete the subscription on your iOS devices, including downloaded episodes (unless they're marked as Saved).
    Stations
    When you create a station in iTunes on your computer or in the Podcasts app for iOS, it will appear on your other devices. Any station settings you change will also sync to your devices. If you delete a station on one of your devices, it’ll delete on every other device too.
    Playback position
    Podcasts can remember your playback position between devices and computers, so you can always start where you left off. If Sync Podcasts is on for your iOS device, playback position will sync. However, you might need to turn on this setting in iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    Select iTunes > Preferences.
    Click the Store tab.
    Select "Sync playback information across devices." It may take a few minutes to sync.   
    Transfer episodes and playlists
    Podcast episodes on one device don't automatically download to your other devices. If you want all your downloaded episodes to appear on your other devices, you'll need to sync your iOS devices to your computer over Wi-Fi or with a USB cable.
    Connect your iOS device to your Mac or PC with iTunes.
    Click the Podcasts tab.
    Choose which downloaded podcasts should appear on your iOS devices.
    To sync a playlist of podcasts to your iOS devices, select it under "Include Episodes from Playlists." The playlist will appear in My Stations in the Podcasts app for iOS.
    Click Sync.

  • Why did I have to create a new ID when I logged into Communities this morning? Appears I don't have any history anymore either.

    Why did I have to create a new ID when I logged into Communities this morning? Appears I don't have any history anymore either. I used the same browser and username/password (its stored in my browser) and it asked me to fill out my profile and pick an alias. Not sure what the deal was, it appears Apple can't figure out this whole id thing. I've used other community sites for over a decade without having to change my user/profile, I don't understand why this is such a pain with Apple.

    Agreed! I was trying to find out how to reclaim my old name since I use it for all sites. I can't seem to find the answer so I made a new one to ask questions before giving up on it.

  • Why do I have to constantly relog my password when using this site?

    Why do I have to constantly relog my password when using this site?

    That's correct, regardless of browser used I could close my browser and not have to log in, but typically that only lasted for a few hours.  Something in the re-design seems to have made it such that you have to sign in each and every time to re-open your browser and come here.

    why do I have to keep restarting my MacBook when I'm switching between searches?

    Sorry bear with me it's my first time using or posting to the community. I need to know if you are able to forward call to another iphone and use your Apple ID for facetime on a different phone. is this the reason for it being logged in call list as, " call answered by another device."

  • I have an iPhone4 that locks up when on an in-building booster.

    I have an iPhone4 that locks up when it has been affiliated with an in-building booster system for 3-4 hours.  Other non-Apple phones continue to work fine.  This is on the Verizon network.  If you restart the phone, it works ok for another 3-4 hours. Any ideas?

    You cannot directly transfer them. You have to connect to your computer and sync the songs to your Nano. You won't have to pay for them again.

    Why do i have do re render a clip when ever i move it
    is there any way to get around this?

    Quote: "by MartinR"
    "A common cause of constant rendering is when your clip properties do not match your sequence settings. In FCE, your Easy Setup will determine the sequence settings when you create a new sequence.
    So, the first questions are: what Easy Setup are you using in FCE? What are your sequence settings? What are your clip properties? Especially the codec/compression, frame size & frame rate. If you need help finding this info, let us know and we will explain."

    I made an album in iPhoto and when it plays through the "slideshow", heads are cut off in some of the pictures.  How do I fix this?

    When running a slideshow from an album it will not run properly if the photos are sorted manually.  Sort them by any of the other options, title, date, rating, etc. and it will play correctly.
    Send a report of the problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
    If you must sort them manually create the slideshow in the slideshow mode in iPhoto, not from an album.
