Why does my music from one album show up as two separate albums: one with all the songs in it, and another with two or three. Why is it that when i delete the incomplete album it takes the same songs out of the complete album also?

When I first imported music from my CDs onto my iTunes library, all the songs appeared, but those with the album artist and guest/additional artists they appeared in their own album under the same album name. After searching through iTunes help and support, I learned how to put all the songs under the same album (part of a compalition) and add the additional songs information, artwork, lyrics, etc. After getting all the music (imported from my CDs) onto the iTunes library and in their album. I synced my music onto my iPhone. (My iPhone is a 3GS)
Once the music was on my iPhone i noticed that the albums appeared in 2s again. One was the complete album with all the songs, song info, etc. together (solo tracks and/or one with multiple artists) and another album of the same name, artwork, etc. with 2-4 of the songs from that album. Since all I saw need for was to have the completed album on my iPhone, I deleted the album with only 2-4 of the songs. When I went back and selected the completed album, all the songs I had deleted from the incomplete album were also deleted from the completed album too! I just couldn't figure out why it did that and my my friends with iPods and iPhones said they didn't know what caused it either. So now I'm here with the idea how to fix this problem.
If anyone has a solution to this problem, please reply. It will be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.

Why does Transfer purchases FROM sync TV shows TO ipad?

Why does iTunes automatically sync my TV shows BACK to my ipad after I choose "Transfer purchases FROM my ipad" under File-->Devices
I don't want them on the ipad. I have unchecked all of the boxes next to the TV shows.

Hi mmttpp,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues when transfering your purchases from your iPad to iTunes directly, you may want to try redownloading them directly to iTunes, as noted in the following articles:
Download past purchases - Apple Support
Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer - Apple Support

Why does my music from my iPhone 5 delete itself?

I have music on my iPhone (probably like ever other user out there) and when I play music, songs will be skipped, sometimes even three or four at a time, and they will magically be deleted from my phone. This has been happening all day today, ever since this recent iTunes update. I'm not sure if it is due to the iTunes update or if the music on my phone is faulty or what. I can play the music from my computer and it works just fine. I'm really getting tired of syncing my phone ever other hour because of this. I'm seriously thinking of getting rid of it unless this issue becomes resolved soon......

Nope. You can swipe to delete tracks on your iPhone and they won't be deleted from iTunes.
You can also just remove them from the playlist that you've selected in iTunes and sync the iPhone again.
Take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Syncing with iTunes

I am unable 2 access 2 f/b pages - the one with profile, chat, pics (main pg) and another with favorites. Yet notifications come thru! Plez help??

Plez help me to find where my main f/b page is. All I can get is notifications. Can't access profile, news feed, chat, pics & a page of favorites.

If the removing account and redownloading did not work, I will briefly tell you something that happened to me.
I am not stating that your issue is in anyway related, but thought it worth mentioning.
Suddenly I could not access Facebook or the Yahoo account associated with it.
In my case it turned out to be a malicious act by a hacker, or whatever it is called. Somehow he blocked me from getting into either account. I later found out that my FB and Yahoo pages had been defaced and I was clicking away, etc.,etc., Finally, I had to go to a store, with a strong firewall/router and only then was able to delete the accounts.
After that I was able to create new accounts.
The best of luck to you.

Yes, the license allows 2 installs for the owner's personal use. You can check this in the license agreement if you wish.

How do i set up my mac, iPad and iPhone so that when i delete mail on one it syncs and deletes it from the others at the same time?

Hi, how do i set up my iMac, iPad and iPhones so that when i delete an e-mail (or other action) from one it automatically syncs and duplicates the action on the other devices?

You need an IMAP-type email service rather than a POP-type mail service. IMAP automatically does what you want. Contact your email provider to see if they offer IMAP.

Photos in my from my iPhone have same numbering as photos from my dig camera. They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name. Help?

Photos in my from my iPhone have the same numbering as photos from my digital camera. They all go into iPhoto fine but when I backup to my ext hard drive it will only save one with the name IMG 1002 and I have two separate images both with that name. How do I get them all to save on my ext hard drive and hope do I prevent this numbering overlap in the future? I'm really hoping I don't have to go through and manually rename every single picture. Thanks.

How are you backing up the photos? The best way is to backup the library itself as that will preserve your organizational efforts as well as all metadata like keywords, titles, faces, places, books, etc.
You can use a backup application that does incremental backups. Thus only the first backup is a full one and subsequent backups just copy those files that are new or changed. I use Synk Pro. The lower cost version, Synk, will do the same job. Other similar apps can be found at MacUpdate.com.
OR: upload your camera to a folder on the Desktop. There you can rename the files to something that is more informative than just the file name. I use the date (international format) along with a brief desc: 2007-1-20-adian1stbday-001.jpg. File renaming apps can also be found at MacUpdate.com. Also you can give the folder an informatve name which will become the Event name when you import the folder of photos into iPhoto.

SHuffle does not play songs in a truly random fashion. Like all computer related random generators the sequence is pseudo-random

HT1711 Why hasn't music from my iPhone 4S showing on my iPad mini? They show on my iPad...

Why hasn't music from my iPhone 4S showing on my iPad mini? They show on my iPad...

It won't automatically download onto your iPad. If you have subscribed to iTunes Match, and it's turned 'on' on the Mini, then you should be able to stream or download all of your iTunes purchased and Match uploaded music on it. Otherwise you will either need to sync it from your computer's iTunes or, if you are in a country where you can re-download music, then you might be able to do that.
When did it download it on your other iPad e.g. do your have iTunes Match, did you already have 'automatic downloads' turned 'on' on the iPad when you bought music on your iPhone ?
