Why do songs randomly separate from an album? How can I merge them back into the album?

When I upload songs into my library either by adding files from the music folder on my Windows 7 64bit pc OR by inserting an audio CD, I have found that songs from the album randomly separate in my music library. Not sure why since the artist and album title still match - but just want to be able to get them to merge back as part of the album. Other pain point is that when they separate , they don't show the artwork?
Thanks in advance for any help or info...
Terri

  • Why does itunes randomly put my music in my trash and how can I get them back into my itunes music list? How can I prevent it from occurring again?

    Itunes has randomly placed some of my songs (it has done this a few times now. Not all of them but at times hundreds/thousands) in my trash and I don't know why this happens. How can I replace them back into my itunes music library? Is there a reason this is happening? What can I do so it doesn't happen again?

    Hello!!!
    This realy works??

    Where is the backup of the media and other important files from the computer?  Ultimately, it is the users responsibility to ensure that backups exists. Waiting until there is a problem to decide to do a backup is not smart.  Would you wait until a fire started in your home to call the insurance company and inquire about homeowners/renters insurance????
    In the event that no backup exists (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files):
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
    If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content.  They are not required to provide this opportunity.
    It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes.  On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
    The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.  Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.

  • 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

    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. .
    Regards

  • 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

  • I reinstalled Firefox and lost bookmarks from my computer, how can I get them back (sync ?)from my android phone ?

    My bookmarks are really gone from my computer but I have them in my android phone.
    I've tried to use this sync but it doesn't work. How can I get them back to the computer from my android phone ?
    I have checked also backup files but they are really gone.

    Hi penami,
    Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you lost your bookmarks. In order to check if they are still there you can look in the profile folder on the computer [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
    As for syncing from the android, it is possible to add the account to the desktop and the two should merge.

  • ITunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs? format

    iTunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs?

    I didn't mess with the iTunes Media folder previously, so I don't think that was the cause. Anyway, I manually fixed most of the songs, but I still can't figure out how to fix the movies that became listed as songs.
    Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when I click on "Get Info" for one of the movies (which has ended up in the music section on iTunes):
    There is no option to change the media kind to "movie" or "video" even though it is a movie and it still plays as a movie if I press play.

  • I have updated iTunes on my computer and my iPod nano 4 is up to date but not all music shows up in my iTunes library..only the purchased songs..what happened and how do I get them back into the library?

    The music library in the updated version of iTunes is grossly incomplete although the music still remains on my iPod. Why did this happen and how do I get the music back into the library?

    Hi Dalegu219,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iTunes library is on an external hard drive, but iTunes is not recognizing the library, first make sure the right library is selected.
    You can use these steps to make sure iTunes is opening the library on your external drive:
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you're using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    If you're using a Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
    You should see one of these screens:
    Pick Choose Library and locate the library on your external hard drive.
    From:
    iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one - Apple Support
    If the right library is selected, but you do not see your songs, try re-creating the library using the instructions found here:
    iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • When I import a commercial 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 other album by it self. How can I combine them all into one album and why is itunes doing this?

    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?
