Why itunes doesnt sync album to artist

I downloaded some cds to add to my itouch. When I sync the Itouch with Itunes it doesn/t put the album under the artist.

Do you have the Get Info entries for the songs correctly filled in?

ITunes 10's Album by Artist column not good for assorted artist albums

If a given album has selections done by different groups or artists, iTunes will fragment the album and create as many little groups for it as there are different performers on the album. This feature became a big problem for me with an album of big band music with presumed many different groups represented that I have and had put onto iTunes. For a few of the selections, I was able to identify the band leader (the album came from an analogue medium, a reel-to-reel tape, that had no titles or artists information) and had these names entered into iTunes. With the old iTunes version, the album would be shown in one place with all the selections in order and with a few of them showing an artist name.
I found that some of the music files were misnamed and I wanted to add names to another group of generic file names. All these changes caused iTunes to report it couldn't find the songs and needed my help to locate them again. No trouble here, as I would expect nothing less and was familiar with this from other similar cases. What was an unpleasant surprise was that the selections with identified band leaders separated off from the anonymous group and from one another, based just on the names of these band leaders. I had to slowly scan through close to 1900 songs to find the all of the stray pieces of the album.
If I didn't find all the album titles with new file names, the files would had quietly remained not found and probably would have been deleted from the iPod. ITunes doesn't alert to unfound files at startup; one has to click each name for Get Info in order to get the dialogue for locating the file again.
Even if iTunes wouldn't keep all the pieces together (and I understand why it didn't), if the Next and Previous functions would allow me to step through all the tracks of such an album, I could get by, but this is not so either. Next and Previous navigate just to the physically adjacent songs, not the logical neighbors.

+What was an unpleasant surprise was that the selections with identified band leaders separated off from the anonymous group and from one another, based just on the names of these band leaders+.
I'm not sure where you were putting in the band leader information - my guess is you used Album Artist instead of just plain Artist - but I think I answered this in your other post.

Yes, this is a pain. iTunes used to show these unfound tracks more readily. THere is a script that has been around or years that will find them, though. It's "FindDeadTracks" from this page:

That all depends on what column you've sorted your tracks by. I usually sort my library by Date Added, with new tracks at the top. A new CD I've imported would be at the top and all the tracks from it together. Very easy.
Other sort columns could also keep the tracks together so you could use Previous/Next.

ITunes 9 sorting Album by Artist shows multi-cd albums out of order now

Hello,
This has worked before in every version of iTunes I have used. iTunes 9 now lists my multi-cd albums' tracks out of order. For instance, it lists them as track 1 of disc 1, then track 1 of disc 2, then track 2 of disc 2.
It used to list them correctly as Disc 1 of 2, track 1-x and then disc 2 of 2, track 1-x, in that order. Why did they break a perfectly good thing?
I use 'list view' and sort by 'Album by Artist', anything else my my huge library just slows it to a crawl.

I'm in the same boat. I always use Album by Artist.
My work around for now is to add the Album Artist field to the library list and sort on that field. It seems to work ok.
I'm able to edit my post ok here.
I see that my solution only works if I've put in the album artist. Other wise, they go to the obttom of the list as "Unknown". This shines a spotlight where I haven't put in Album Artist so I will now work on cleaning that up.
I hope they can fix this quickly.

ITunes music view: Albums by Artist/Year. Still not what I want it.

Ok, what I'm looking for from iTunes is for it to organize my music by album. Put all the albums together regardless of the artist. Then I want it to lump albums by a single artist together. Then organize that by year. Is that possible? Currently when I use the Album by artist/year, the albums with multiple artists aren't together. They're all over the place according to the artists name. I want my coverflow view to look like I'm going through a jukebox. Jukebox view. How's that for a setting, Apple?

f it happens every time you get a new computer, one would think you would have figured it out by now...
Media sync is one way. Computer -> Phone. Copy the media from your old computer to the new computer. Then let iTunes wipe it off of your phone and re-sync.
The only media you can transfer from the phone to the computer is media purchased on the phone from the iTunes store. Use File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes to do that.

Why itunes doesnt open with windows 7 ?? [i need help]

Enable the guest account in Windows 7 and see if itunes will open in that account.
This will tell us if it's a user-specific problem, or system-wide.
Then work through the steps here,depending on what you find in the guest account.

Itunes doesnt sync videos to iphone 4s

I am able to view the itunes videos in my computer but not able to sync to my iphone 4s. I have checked the format is in mp4 and dimension is 640x480. Why is it not working? It used to be fine before all the OS upgrading, can apple do something about it.

Being an mp4 isn't enough. To play on a 4S requires (from http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html):
"Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format".
It's possible the videos you have are in a .mp4 container but don't meet the other specs. There's lots of 3rd party applications that will convert videos to be compatible with an iPhone. You may have to find one of these and convert your videos first.

ITunes Not Syncing Album Info

An album I had in my iTunes library had the wrong year in it so it was not in the correct order chronologically so I changed the album release year in this case from 2008 to 1994. However despite it changing in iTunes OK when it syncs over to my phone it reverts to 2008 on my phone but stays as 1994 on my iTunes library.
Any ideas? it is driving me mad!

OK, the iPod show up in Windows Explorer when you plug it in - and it never shows up in iTunes?
Have you tried anything from this document - iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes?

ITunes messed up album art, artist name, song

IOS 5 is confusing artwork on my iTunes library. For instance, I'll tap to play Eagles "One Of These Nights" and while it's the right song, I'll be looking at an unrelated album cover. This includes my audio books. Anyone have a fix? I'm sure Apple will fix this...
Thx!

Can you please describe in a little more detail?
Did you restore to factory settings on the iPhone? (settings-general-restore-restore all settings)? Then syncing again?
I see some suggest to disable music syncing (removing all music) the reenable music syncing. That will take long time!
I also see some suggest first disable "show album artwork on iPhone", syncing, reenable "show album artwork" and then syncing again.

Itunes update combined albums by artist, how to undo?

When iTunes upgraded to 11 it combined the majority of my Albums (not all, seems to be random) by Artist and lumped them as Unknown Album but kept the Artists name. Is there any way to reverse this and ungroup them back to individual albums? I've tried creating a new library, but it didn't help. My music is all burned from CD and resides on an external drive, operating system is Windows 7. Many thanks!

Hello chopsuey0212,
If your songs are not organized, then check the track information of the songs to make sure that it has the Album Artist information entered in to be organized. Take a look at the article below and I know that it is for iTunes 11, but the steps will be the same for iTunes 12.

You can sync podcasts from your computer to your iPod, but not the other direction.
Also, podcasts are not synced automatically. You have to click the Sync Podcasts button under Podcasts (in iTunes).
Make sure you have the appropriate "automatically include" selection under that enabled as well (e.g. automatically include all or all unplayed).

Itunes match sync album art work problem and poor quality art work issue

Hi There,
I have two issues with apple itunes and itunes match:
I seem to have a number of albums with poor quality artwork, now i have gone through the removed downloaded artwork and the right click and select the art work toggle box to remove the art work, after doing this I then ask to get the album cover from Itunes indervidually and high quality art work is down loaded and looks great for around 10-20 minutes then it seems to update slowley and revert to the old poor quality art work. Any Ideas? A simular thing that happens is that some art work that ive added manually is deleted. I have also gone into the itunes folder and deleted the album art work folder to force it to download new art work. Is there any way to lock in the art work that you know is good?
Itunes match after making changes to itunes albums I have then updated itunes match and my work is undone? This maybe complaations or album coers any ideas.
I am using itunes version 11.01
I have looked through the forum and read meany feeds about album covers but I havent found one that is reverting covers.
Many thanks guys

Itunes doesnt update apps automaticaly

hi
Why Itunes doesnt update automaticaly the apps?
after updating from Ipad and Iphone, I "transfer purchases" to my itunes. I click SYNC but nothing. If I go to check the app windows, some of them shows UPDATE status?? I have to click individually each app??? really??
Is there a good alternative (PC friendly) to Itunes? I cant stand this software anymore
chris

Do you have iTunes 10.5 installed on yur computer?
What happens when you try to update?
If you iPod is 8 or 16 GB it is really a 2G iPod and those can only go to 4.2.1. A 32 GB one can be either a 2G or 3G. To identify yours see:
