Why does iTunes show tracks that I've ripped from a single CD as individual tracks with individual albums all with the same album name?

I've looked all the data about each track in terms of album name and other seemingly relevant pieces of stuff, but whenever I look at my songs by albums, it still shows these tracks individually. It's like the same album is repeated over and over instead of the album appearing once with all the tracks listed beneath it.

Thanks
You can edit the "metadata" of the tracks in the cloud just as you would if the tracks were physically on your computer. Hightlight the tracks of the album you want to edit, do a Get Info..., edit "metadata," click OK.

Why does iTunes not back up my iPhone, it says it is corrupt or not compatible with the iphone

iTunes could not back up the iPhone. the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPone.
Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again.
my latest back up 11.23.11.
I restored this iPhone4 on that date, but still I have the problem?

Same thing happened to me. !!00 photo of my daughter and me (plus alot of other video/photo from the past 3 yrs. Not happy with Apple at all right now

I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers.

Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
For Home Sharing to work you need to
File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
Home sharing will then work

My XP machine is unable to load iTunes 10.5.1. It gets about halfway loaded then says it can't find Bonjour.msi. However, that file is on the computer. I tried loading the Bonjour.msi from another computer but it came up with the same message.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

Does anyone have drivers that will enable a Tascam US-144 (old model) to work with the latest version of Lion?

Hi, does anyone have drivers that will enable a Tascam US-144 (old model) to work with the latest version of Lion? The drivers available on the manufacturer's download site are for a newer model and were not designed specifically to work with Lion. Does anyone have a tried and tested fix for this? Thank you.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Multiple video tracks with the same audio track

How do I get DVDSP to play the same audio track on 3 different video tracks without having to repeat the audio on each of the 3 video trax?
Seems simple, but I can't find an easy way to do it.
Anybody got any ideas?

Yes they are all one continuous stream with the same GOP structure and everything. I had to export them as QT movies from FCP to get them all the same. I only exported the video though becuase the audio was going to be the same for all the tracks, & it was already done as AC3 through Compressor. Which brings up an interesting question; why does DVDSP convert the AC3 audio to .aiff which is a much larger format?
I'm trying to go back and look at the encoding log from DVDSP to see what error it gave.
It doesn't give the error in the log since I had shut down my computer last night, so I guess I'll have to try the build again and see what error it gives.
I'm looking at the parsing files and .m2v files that DVDSP did during the build, and it parsed all 3 angles, and finished the .m2v file of the medium shot, including 6 minutes past the point I told DVDSP to stop it. (When exporting the QT movie from FCP, I had forgotton and encoded the whole 2:30:00 show instead of the 1st 1/2 of 1:16:47:15, and then just adjusted the end of the clip in DVDSP).
The wide shot and Close up .m2v files, and the audio .aiff file were in the folder, but have nothing in them. The Video_TS folder and Audio_TS folder are also there, but with nothing in them, so whatever happened, seems to have happened in the medium shot encoding process.
I'm pretty much over this multi-angle thing, and I'm going to start working on an edited version of this today because all I have to do is make the cuts between cameras, since the audio is already mixed. However, if you have any other ideas, please let me know.

Why does iTunes rename files that are imported automatically although I set it not to?

Hello,
I am facing the following issue:
I set up an old MacBook as a HomeServer. Now I would like to use it as a media server as well using iTunes.
My problem now is, that everytime I put some music files in the folder which automatically adds them to iTunes they are moved to the Music folder and are renamed although I deactivated this option in iTunes.
I arranged myself with the fact that the music is moved but the renaming is frustrating since I would like to use a sync tool to manage my music.
Does anyone have an idea how I could solve this?
Thanks in advance.

I can tell you exactly why I don't want iTunes to manage my music completely.
I have all my music/fotos stored on a SD card so I have access to it anywhere I need it. I have a sync tool backing up my files to a NAS at my house.
My first intend was to access the music stored on my NAS but then I would have to manage iTunes twice (on my MacBook for traveling and on my HomeServer).
So I was looking for a comfortable way to have iTunes running on my HomeServer with a folder where I can put my new music. OK now you could say "why not just copy your new stuff there and let it do its job?". I want to have it automated or at least semi automated.
I store everything on my SD card and when I'm at home I want 2 sync jobs running. One to back up all of it and the other one to check which files are new and then put them into the folder which automatically adds them to itunes.
I could still live with iTunes managing everything the way it does but then I need to know how I can find out what is new in my music library on my SD card without manually checking it or creating duplicates in iTunes.
Wow... that was more text then I intended to write... whoops... hope I will be able to find a solution somehow.
Cheers

Why does Firefox not acknowledge that I have Silverlight already installed. When trying to work with "Getting Started" in Windows 7, it keeps telling me I have to download Silverlight to view this information.

I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 7 OS. When trying to learn the transition experience from Windows XP to this new OS version, I was presented with this problem of going around in circles.
When trying to view "Discover Windows 7" via "Start>Getting Started>Discover Windows 7", a Microsoft website opens to; (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/videos/personalizing-your-pc). It tells me; To view this contents, please install Microsoft Silverlight. Once I install it and get back to this page, I get the same message. I can not view any of the help content before installing Microsoft Silverlight. So now it is a never ending "CIRCLE of LIGHT"! Is this a problem with my Firefox or with Windows Microsoft 7?

I'm not seeing the Silverlight plugin in your More system details list, so Firefox doesn't find it if you have it.
I assume that you also do not see it in Tools > Add-ons > Plugins ?

Loading Tracks with the Same Name

Hi all, brand new iPod owner here! I have some bootleg concerts that I want to load up. I've done two shows successfully, one from a CDR and one direct from my PC's hard drive. All the tracks for these two shows have different names.
Now..... what if I want to load other concerts that have some of the same songs, i.e. the tracks have the same name as those already in my library? How will I pick out the right "version" to add to the new playlist? Is there a way to put the tracks in their own folder in iTunes so they don't get mixed up with the ones already in there?
I appreciate any information or advice you can give me! Rock on!
iPod 30GB Windows XP Pro

A different album name...
By bootleg, you mean illegally recorded concerts with copyright infringement?

Why does Itunes telling me that I have to repurchase a song that i already have purchased? The song doesn't show up in my purchase history either.

When I go to my purchase history the song I want isnt there. I looked in itunes store for the song & normally it would say play if I have it. Well this one said I need to repurchase it.. HELP

On the song in the store you are seeing the price button, not Purchased (Play will show if it's in your iTunes library for playing ; Purchased if it's not purchased and not in your library) ? For albums that I've bought I see price buttons when viewing them as songs in the store, Purchased or Play when viewing the album that I bought.
If you are sure that it's the exact version that you bought (it hasn't been removed and replaced with a new version by the rights-holder) then it should (assuming that you aren't in one of the countries that doesn't allow redownloading) show in Purchased for redownloading (unless you've moved countries since buying it on that account). If it does show Purchased against it in the store then you've checked to see if it's hidden ?
What you can redownload will show in the Purchased section : on your computer's iTunes click on the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage, or on the current version click on your name towards the top-right of iTunes and the Purchased on the popup ; on your phone go to the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.

Why does iTunes tell me that I have tons of memory available (30 GB) on my iPad (when I plug it in to my computer), but when I check my storage directly on the iPad (under Settings/General/Storage), I only have 3GB?

This is driving me nuts. I need to "rent" some flicks for a trip, but my iPad (64GB) tells me I have insufficient memory. Checking under Settings/General/Usage, I find 3GB free. I hook it up to my computer (iTunes) and clear out pretty much everything (audio, video, extra apps, etc) and iTunes then tells me I have 30GB available. Yes, I hit apply and the darn thing synches just fine. Disconnect and look back at the iPad, and viola - only 3GB available. ARRRRGGGHHHH!

Sounds like you should restore your iPad. For one thing, that will bring it up to current iOS rev (6.1.2). For another, that should clean out any junk and further make sure the two numbers you're referring to agree.
By the way, a viola is a musical instrument in the violin family. The word you're looking for is voila

Why does it show music that I can't play? The names of the songs are faded

Hi, after the 4S update I looked at my music and for some reason I saw all of my music on my Mac on my phone. I never had every song from my Mac on my phone, but only the ones that I had before I was aloud to play the others were just their I couldn't play them. The names were faded on the ones I couldn't play
Thank You. Please Help

I have this same exact problem with numerous songs. They initially synced no problem, they will still play from my computer in my iTunes library no problem, but they will NOT sync to my iPhone (4S). My computer is authorized to play the songs, and I have selected "manage music and videos manually".

I kept trying to log in my apple ID to use FaceTime app but it always shows me that an error encountered while logging in your ID try it later,but I am using the same ID on my iPad as well as on my iPhone they are working perfectly fine tell me solution ?

I kept trying to log in my apple ID to use FaceTime app but it doesnt allow me to log in for using facetime. Whereas I have been using the same ID as I am using here on my Macbook pro but it doesnt go through especially for using facetime app.
Please tell me how to solve this issue.
Thanks..!

Eric,
None of this has worked.
My Apple ID and password work with everything else. I have a good Internet connection. No Firewall active from my IMac.
LIke I said, I haven't installed anything recently and FaceTime ver. 1.0.5 on OS X 10.6.8 was working fine prior to yesterday.
I restarted my IMac to run Mavericks and FaceTime 3.0 under OS X 10.9.4 is working and I was able to login and use FaceTime on Mavericks with no problem.
For some unknown reason FaceTime on IOS and on my Mac were asking me to login into FaceTime when I haven't had to do this for quite sometime.
Older FaceTime 1.0.5 all of a sudden has decided to be a problem with login on my IMac under Snow Leopard.
The only thing left I am going to try is the two-step Apple ID verification process where I can use a app specific password, but Apple makes you wait three days before completing the two-step verification.
If this doesn't work, then I do not know what will solve this issue and now I made my Apple ID login process more complicated than I really wanted it to be.
I purposely stayed away from using the two-step ID verification login.

Why does my phone and my brothers ipod have a certain connection i can see his messages and if we have the same apps our everything is the same

Help with this very important

It's because you both are using the same Apple ID. You need to sort it out.
