Well, you do not identify what computer operating system you are using and the answers differ, so I'll give you both.

Album Splitting up on Itunes

HI, After i synced my music on itues, most of my albumes are splitted up to be one song/album repeating the same album for all the songs of that album.. Anyone knows how to fix this?

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.

Why does the album artwork show in itunes but not on my iphone?

When im in itunes all the artwork shows but when i sync it not all of the artwork comes up on my iphone.

I guess I have successfully solved that. Somehow  predicted this problem's appearance and added a function of ID3 tags version conversion. Just convert all of your mp3 files' tags to version 2.4. worked for me, now bitrate gets downgraded and artwork is safe.
p.s.: some of the artwork (especially files that originally were higher bitrate AAC converted to 128 kbit/s) won't show the artwork in the artist or album list at first. just play any of such songs and artwork will show up.

Albums split up in new grid view on itunes 8

when browsing my albums in the new grid tab of itunes, some of my albums are split up into their own separate album. for example the "august rush" album i purchased from itunes is split into twelve different albums. how do i combine those songs so all the songs are in one album slot?
i have already changed the "sort album by" to "title" in the "view" tab.
any suggestions and i would really appreciate it

*Grouping tracks into albums*
Excuse the long post, but hopefully covering all the bases (that I can think of) will help you fix the other issues you are likely to run into as you try to organise your library.
The iPod (and iTunes to a lesser extent) conflates two or more albums with the same title, most obviously with *Greatest Hits*. On the iPod this can result in one album acting as a combination of two or more. Selecting any cover gives all the tracks of all albums with the same title. The workaround for this "Greatest Hits" bug is to give each album a unique title - I tend to go for *Album - Album Artist* as this reads clearly in the iTunes browser. Alternatively you could use the wording as it appears on the cover, append different numbers of spaces for each different album or set different values for the Sort Album.
iTunes relies on the Gracenote CDDB database when identifying CD's. This often marks collections or anthologies of an artist's work as a compilation. In iTunes, however, the compilation flag has the logical function of grouping together tracks with the same album name, but different artists on each track, e.g. "Now That's What I Call Metal 666!". These compilations are then all grouped together at the end of cover flow. Most of us however, would expect "Greatest Hits" albums to be listed with the other albums by the same album artist. For albums which are essentially by a single album artist or group it is best to set the appropriate value for the album artist and clear the compilation flag.
Sadly the iPod ignores the Album Artist field when grouping albums which causes problems when some tracks list guest artists. You can simply mark the entire album as a compilation which seems to be the way iTMS handles it, however that's not an ideal fix. Short of waiting for Apple to address this issue (and as far as I can tell it goes back to the 1st gen. of iPods) we need a workaround. What I do is to put any additional artist info. in square brackets after the song name. E.g. *Track \[Feat. Guest\]* and then set *Artist=Album Artist* for each track. For anthologies where the Album Artist is credited as part of another group, e.g. for Cream tracks on an Eric Clapton anthology, I use *Track \[As Group\]*. For a track where the main Album Artist doesn't receive a credit, e.g. the first track of the Slim Shady LP credited to Jeff Bass, I just set the track name to *Track \[Guest\]* while still setting the artist to the album artist. N.b. I use square brackets to indicate this is information about the track rather than part of the song title and also use this style for Mix/Live/Bonus info.
iTunes may split albums into two or more sections if some tracks from the album have different values for Artist, Album Artist, Album, No. of Discs or Part of a Compilation. Tiny differences such as trailing spaces, accented characters or variants of symbols can sometimes be quite hard to spot. The iPod is also more sensitive to case variations and may split or reorder an album that looks okay in iTunes. Normally overtyping the desired value for each shared field will complete the grouping of the album into one entity. Occasionally, however, this method seems to fail. When this happens I've found that you can force every field to update properly by adding some extra text - e.g. a trailing X, which once applied seems to complete the joining of the tracks into one album. Once this has happened the extra data can be removed and the album should remain properly grouped.
The Sort Artist, Sort Album & Sort Album Artist fields can be used to override the normal sort order. For example iTunes automatically drops leading prepositions (a/an/the) so "The Beatles" are arranged under "B" instead of "T". Occasionally different tracks from the same album can have different values in these sort fields which can also break up the grouping. Making the sort columns visible in iTunes can help with spotting & correcting such problems.
Multi-disc albums are often listed as *Album (CD1)* for CD 1, *Album (CD2)* for CD 2 etc. To display these properly using just one cover, each disc should have the correct *Disc X of Y* values set, and then the entire album should be given the single title Album. Being somewhat obsessive I also renumber the tracks sequentially, working backwards from the last track until I reach disc 1.
With classical music you also need to be wary of alternative representations of artist/composers names. The menus will work best if for each composer you standardise on just one form of their name. E.g. make a choice between Mozart, W.A. Mozart or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and then apply it consistently. I tend also to use the Composer as the Artist & Album Artist and either discard performer details or place these into the Description field. (I’d use Comments but iTunes has a habit of writing long hex strings into it for no readily apparent reason).

Why do duplicate albums appear on my iPod Classic screen when there are no duplicates in my iTunes Library?

Why do duplicate albums appear on my i{Pod Classic screen when there are no duplicates in my iTunes Library?

It's probably going to be a capitalisation error. In other words, one or more tracks on the album has a lower case letter at the beginning of the album name while all the others have a capital letter. They can be difficult to spot.
In iTunes, examine one of your duplicated albums carefully. You should be looking for a slight difference between the album title name. Look at the screenshot below, can you see the error in the album title?
It is there...
The title track (Left Of The Middle). Look at the capitalisation of the album name.
Once you find you error in your album, re-type it (or copy-and-paste from one track to all the tracks) and then SYnc your iPod to iTunes. Does that cure it? If nto, let us know.

ITunes - One Album Splitting Up Into 3. (Please Help)

Okay, so I have an album that I have aptly named UKFDubstep 2010, this album contains 20 tracks, although it has been split into 3 different albums, although they are the same
Although I selected all songs at once and edited the artist name, album artist name and album name at the same time so all tracks have the same album info, so that is not the problem,
It looks like this;
UKFDubstep 2010 xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (The x's are just because
UKFDubstep xxxxxxxxxxxxxx I couldn't be bothered
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx to type in the track
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx names.)
Won't Go Quietly
Example (Roughly 13 tracks from the album)
UKFDubstep 2010
UKFDubstep xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In Your Honor (Again how ever many tracks are on the album here)
Foo Fighters
UKFDubstep 2010
UKFDubstep (And here are the rest of the songs)
Now all UKFDubstep 2010 tracks have the same album artwork and I have ticked 'Yes' where it says in 'Get Info' do you want these to be a compilation.
So I can't think of anything left that I could possibly do, also it shows the 3 of the same album cover in album cover view on iTunes.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thankyou

It would if you had disk 1 of 3/ 2 of 3/ 3 of 3. For that I would expect 3 albums.
To tell the truth, I can't make much sense of all the xxxx's in your first post. Could you post a screenshot on a free hosting site like flickr, imageshack, or photobucket?

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer.

Why are my album covers from purchased songs on itunes dissapeared

why are the album covers gone from the songs i purchased from itunes. i have part of them,the rest are gone

I have a slightly different problem. I have a few artists "Greatest Hits" albums, My iPohone's "iPod" doesn't know the difference between each album. For example:
Queen's Greatest Hits, Guns 'N' Roses Greatest Hits and Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits are all jumbled together into 1 "album" this is fine sometimes gives a bit of variety, but some days i just want to listen to GNR or Queen or Alice Cooper.
The only way to do this is to go in through the "Artist's" Tab instead of "Albums" still, it is annoying.
Any help for this would be appreciated.
(sorry to distract from the original post )
Cheers!

Why is Remote app album view different than iTunes?

I use the Remote app on my iPad to control the streaming of my PC's iTunes music library to my stereo. I like the Album view because I can see most of the album covers. In iTunes 11.1 on my PC, album view displays the albums alphabetically by artist. i.e. all Beatles albums are listed before any Rolling Stones albums. But when viewing the same library on my iPad using the Remote app, the albums are listed alphabetically by album title, not by artist. So each artist's albums are scattered all over. I don't know about you, but when I'm looking for an album to play, I think about artists, not titles of albums. But there doesn't seem to be any way to change the way the Remote app orders albums. Am I missing something? Is there any way to configure the Remote app to display albums in artist order?

Hi go the first page of the Remote, the one which shows your shared libraries.
Click Settings, and then Sort by Artist tab,
Hope that helps!

Why when i sync my music from itunes the album pictures do not show on my iphone?

I had music on my itunes, and from my files on my laptop i put the album cover pictures on itunes. However, when i sync my iphone to itunes, only a few pictures show and i dont know whats gone wrong???

The iPhone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iPhone. The only exception is iTunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

Why are my albums disappearing on itunes?

Every time I sync my ipod and iTunes all but 6 or 7 albums disappear on iTunes, but all my albums and playlists remain on my ipod. I then have to manually add them back in to iTunes by finding them on my laptop.
It's done it twice today and both times the albums that remain in iTunes are different each time but the ipod has all my music on.
How do I stop this doing it?

What iOS is non the iPod?
Are the apps compatible with the iPod model.iOS?
Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier. You can only get the latest version from the app store.

Why are only the albums i purchased from itunes only visable on my Apple, but all are visable on my ipad

On itunes I have a mix of albums I purcahesd from itunes, and those uploaded from original CD's. I now have an Apple TV with itunes match, but only when the computer and itunes are on, are all albums are visable and playable on the Apple Tv. When itunes and computer is off, only albums purchased from itunes are visable in my music on the Apple TV. However, on my iPad, all albums are visable and playable, (cloud icon with down arrow next to track). I am on home sharing, and I thought Match would alllow playing of albums without the computer and itunes running, as on the iPad. I must have missed something somewhere? so a hit of guidance required plesase.Thanks

Hi again. Yes I did try turning match on and off both in the Apple Tv and itunes several time to no availaile.
However!!! I turned off home sharing and Match on itunes and shut it down. On the Apple TV I did a complete restart, which led to a lengthy period to carry out an upgrade. once completed I set up the Apple TV turned on Match, and lo and behold all the albums now appear in My Music!. Also confirm they are on computers by turning on itunes and home sharing and match. Everything appears to be OK now.
