Why is an album broken into parts on my iPhone

Why is it that some albums are broken into parts? e.g. Badi Assad-Wonderland. When I try to sort my library on my iPhone, and play the album, it is broken into many parts, and not just if there is an accompanying artist?

That page is there in case you want ot move apps to a separate page than the ones which already exist. It is normal.

Yes the advice is still good, even if the graphics could do with an update.
No need to convert file formats, which will involve a loss of quality, just work through the various topics in the article Grouping Tracks Into Albums until the problem is resolved. Adding and then removing a trailling X usually sorts out tricky ones but if you get really stuck I can go into details with a specific album if you supply the screenshots of what is going wrong.

One album broken into 3 parts- HeLLLPPPPP.

This is a tricky one to explain and I have had this problem and don't know what to do.
In this example I am going to use the Billy Joel Greatest Hits volume 3. When I initially imported this into my computer I played the disc into my itunes. This disc has a total of 17 songs. If I view my album in the middle group list, I see three billy joel greatest hits albums. The first one contains songs 1-3 The second one has song 4 and is missing the cover art, and the third one has songs 5-17.
This has also happened when I have purchased albums directly on itunes.
Am I making sense?
Any idea on how to correct this problem?
If my itunes file is corrupt is there a way to complete rebuild it so that this album is under one complete album and all art is there?

That's one part of what you need to do. The other part is that you need to tell iTunes that the album is a compilation. In the "Multiple Item Information" popup you get when you select Get Info on multiple items, the first control on the bottom is "Compilation". You want that to be "Yes" for your compilations.
That makes iTunes put the album in the Compilations folder (if you let iTunes organize your library), and treat it as an album by the special "Various Artists"
As someone else said, the "Group compilations when browsing" only affects the three-column browser. I personally don't like that. When I look at the Artist column, I want to be able to see all the artists, and to click on "Holly Cole" and get all the Holly Cole tracks, including the ones on Compilation albums. So I leave "Group compilations when browsing" unchecked. On the other hand, I don't want to see "Stockings by the Fire" 16 separate times in the "grouped with artwork" or coverflow views of the main music list. To get all the songs in a compilation grouped together in that view, click on the "Album" column heading until it reads "Album by Artist." In that mode, all compilation albums appear at the bottom of the list.

Why are my albums not sorting properly on my iPhone?

I'm running iOS 6.0.2 on an iPhone 5 with iTunes Match and my albums are sorting in a strange fashion. The only connection: they're all David Bowie albums.
The problem is some, but not all, of my David Bowie albums are being sorted under the letter "P". Albums such as "Aladdin Sane", "Hunky Dory", "Black Tie White Noise", and "Diamond Dogs". 18 albums total are doing this and I can't find a connection other than the artist. I've tried renaming one of the albums to a single letter, such as "A" and that puts it under the "A"s. When I change it back to its original title, it returns to the "P"s.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this?
Thanks,
~M

That didn't work.
If I manually put songs on through iTunes it will show my Artist and Album but when I use my iTunes match it doesn't show it and also removes any I manually put. It's all tied into iTunes Match.
I tried removing all my songs from the cloud and then uploading/matching again but that didn't work either. It's still broke when I turn on iTunes Match on my phone.
The Songs are all messed up too, sorting wise. I will have a random "B" song in the middle of the A's and then it goes back to showing the A's.
Example
A
Almost Goodbye
Almost Over
B
Baby
A
Almost Paradise
Almost Perfect
It's just really messed up. I would love to start over from scratch and wipe everything but that didn't work either so I'm not sure what to do.
I'm paying for the service?!!?!?!?

Why won't albums that ive purchased on my iphone download on my macbook??

I just purchased a macbook and and ive been downloading albums on my iphone for quite a while so when i signed into itunes off my macbook my albums show up but the songs aren't there..ive gone to the store and it shows that theyre purchased but they wont let me redownload. the album lookbooks show up and everything just not my music

What do you mean by "won't let me redownload"?

Why are my album tracks out of order on iPhone

I have tried the suggestions from other threads as to how to fix the issue, but none of these have actually worked. My problem exists with smart playlists. They appear as they should in iTunes playlists and when you look at the playlists within iPhone when it is connected. However, iPhone simply does not recognize the track order. Is this soundling like a bug in the software?

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 can't i log into anything on my iphone

Whenever i go on any site like gmail or facebook i keep gettinf a popup saying "cannot verify server identity" and also, i can't log into anything either, like when i go into gmail it says i put the wrong password, apps that require logins wont run, i get error messages, network related error messages. My cookies are set to accept all. Iphone 4s

Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

Why can't i log into icloud on my iphone

I DROPPED MY PHONE AND THE SCREEN IS CRACKED AND HALF THE SCREEN IS BLACK AND RAINBOW.
SO I'M TRYING TO BACKUP MY WHATSAPP CHATS ON ICLOUD BUT I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT BECAUSE STUPID ICLOUD IS TELLING ME THAT I NEED AN APPLE ID WHEN I TRY TO SIGN IN ON MY PHONE AND I ALREADY HAVE ONE?? LIKE WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?

No idea. What does it say when you try, and where, exactly, are you trying to log in?

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example signatures tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example: signatures at the bottom of the mail tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

It worked for me. I took a picture with the iPhone's camera. Then opened the Photos app and selected the picture, and emailed it from one of my IMAP accounts to my gmail (also IMAP) account. When it showed up in the gmail inbox (on my iPhone), I forwarded it to my yahoo mail account (choosing the "inlcude attachments" option). When that showed up on my iPhone's yahoo inbox, the picture was there just as it should be.
So I guess the next thing would be to try it with non-iPhone pictures to see if it is a problem with image size or something. I have some 6-megapixel images in iPhoto I can try (taken as RAW/DEC format pictures with my dSLR).
Just tried it sending a Photo from my computer's iPhoto library - picture is 728KB, 2272x1704 jpeg. I emailed it to my gmail account, and it showed up on the iPhone just fine. Then I forwarded that to my yahoo account and again, it showed up just fine on both the iPhone and reading my yahoo mail via the web page.
Don't know what to say - I don't mean this to be just another "works for me" post. I was hoping to see something maybe depending on the size and origin of the picture.
By the way, my 3GS shipped with 3.0.1 on it, and I've updated it via iTunes normally to 3.1.1 and currently 3.1.2. Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.

Some Albums Going into "Compliations" Folder

For some reason about 100 albums Ive loaded onto my iMac have gone into a folder in my "Music" folder called "Compilations" instead of the music folder with the name of the band.
Example: 6 of my Led Zeppelin albums in are in the proper "Led Zeppelin" folder ... but for some reason Physical Graffiti always goes into the "Compilations" folder.
I actually spent 2 hours one day moving all the albums back into their proper folders, only to find them BACK in "Compilations"
Anyone else have this issue or know why its happening?
Thanks
BRian Sullivan

Check the info tab for anything that is going into compilations. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not going into an Artist folder, right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu). Look for a tick in the "part of compilation" box.
To remove "part of compilation" from a whole album click on the first track and while holding down the shift key go to the last one and click on it. This will highlight the selection. Right click on the selection and choose Get Info, you be asked if you wan to update multiple items, say yes. In the box the opens change "Compilation" to No. The album will move automatically from the Compilations folder into the relevant artist folder.

How did albums get into my iCloud?

I recently reset my computer to factory settings as I was having problems but that is not what this topic is about. I installed iTunes and found some albums in the iCloud that I did not purchase from iTunes. In particular was a 2014 album by U2 named Songs of Innocence. I have not purchased anything from iTunes for a long time. If this is a feature of iCloud to add music into it, why did not all my albums get into iCloud?

Apple gifted everyone U2's Songs of Innocence album earlier this year as part of a promotion. It confused a lot of people and was not an uncontroversial decision.

Itunes splits my CD album import into 4 folders instead of 1?

I tried to import a CD album from my collection into itunes but instead of there being just 1 folder, itunes had broken the album down into 4 folders (1 folder with 10 of the albums tracks and the remaining 3 in individual folders); this results in itunes displaying 4 album covers for 1 album. Could you advise how to get around the problem? I've tried deleting the imported files and repeating the 'import' process but the same issue arises.

itunes does this when the CDDB Gracenote database has the CD listed as a Compilation.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26495
BEFORE you import the CD again, Get Info on all the tracks in the CD area.
Right-click > Get Info and go to the Options tab.
Uncheck the Compilations box, then import.
Tell itunes to replace the copy you have now.
Here is more info on that.

Text Messages broken into 3?

I get text messages from work, and they are broken into 3 parts, any way to keep as one message?

jeffpc wrote:
yes, I expect they are, goot point, probably hitthg the sms limit. Wonder if there is a way to see my phone to only accept or use mms messages?
I think that would depend on the person sending them. If they enter them as MMS instead of SMS, it would be received as MMS.

Why won't album artwork appear on I pod Classic?

Why won't album artwork appear on I Pod Classic?

I have had this problem since iOS4 and I recently (mostly) resolved it in iOS6.
1. First make sure you do not 'Sign In' into iTunes store.
2. I used playlists to resolve the issue. Create a playlist with one song, preferably one that does not have any album art.
3. Create another playlist with all the songs you want to add.
4. With your iTouch/iPhone attached open iTunes. Go to Device->Music. Under Sync Music:choose "Selected playlists,albums and genres". Choose the one song playlist from those shown. Click on the Sync(Apply) button. This will delete all of the songs.
5. Once the deletion is complete choose the playlist with all the songs. Click on the Apply(Sync)button. This will install all the songs again and with album artwork.
6. Once all the songs have been installed click on all the playlists that you want to add (no new songs) and click on the Sync(Apply) button again.
You should now have your songs with album artwork and playlists installed. Hope this helps. The song in the one song playlist won't have any artwork even if it is included. There were some albums whose artwork were not installed. I had a 95% success rate. As I said, it mostly solves the problem for me.
