Quick response: select all the tracks on the album, file > info (or right-click > news > details) and give them all a single "album artist", or check the indicator of "compilation" (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085#17670085).

If they are several CD sets, you will also need to enter the appropriate information in the fields of number of disk.  If they are not a set of multiple CDs that you must always make sure any vacuum or disc number fields are properly defined.

If they won't even really check this August 2008 post by turingtest2 group temporarily change labels - https://discussions.apple.com/message/7904806#7904806 or http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/merge.asp - it works often but I have had cases where securities combined when a letter has been added but divorced when he was kidnapped again.

If they are mp3 files are trying to change the version of the ID3 tag, which can cause iTunes to re - write the tags and clarify inconsistencies.  I use iTunes 7.5 (Yes, from 2007) so I can't tell you where it is in later versions.

I had a case of grouping stubborn reality.  The tracks will be re-group in a way that has no meaning when I changed metadata.  Without going into details, I deleted tracks iTunes completely, then add the files and they are all grouped together correctly.

  • Missing iTunes library and playlists... Please help

    Hello, this morning to my horror, I started iTunes and all my 20,000 songs and playlists, I spent years developing are absent.  Would it be a problem with my hard drive or a disk that allows iTunes search startup files?  I checked the path to the file and it seems that the music is always in their folders however re import all would not get the playlists back and on top of that the last backup I have was from 2014.    Can anyone help

    It is possible that your iTunes library file has become corrupted, so iTunes has started up with a new iTunes library.  Or you may have accidentally set iTunes to open a new iTunes library.  If you use the default configuration, the iTunes library file is located in your iTunes folder and called iTunes Library.itl, to this place

    [startup drive] /Users/ [your name of user account] / music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl

    NOTE: The iTunes library file is a database that defines your iTunes library.  It contains no files media real iTunes, which are organized and stored separately.

    Go to this location using a Finder window; What do you see?  If you see a file called iTunes Library.itl here, quit iTunes (if you run) and use this method to open iTunes using this library file.

    Open a different iTunes library file or create a new - Apple Support

    If it does not open or if you still get a library empty in iTunes, you use Time Machine to back up your boot drive?  If you do, you can restore your library iTunes from a State of backup file (date/time) when it does not have this problem.  In your case, it would be immediately before the last time you used iTunes with a working library.  Time Machine does incremental backups every hour, so this should be very close to when the problem occurred, if your iTunes library should be updated more often.

    If you do not have a backup (why not?) of your user data, look in the folder iTunes for a folder called Previous iTunes Libraries.  iTunes, these backups when there is a major update to iTunes, in the case where something bad happens or the user must go back to a previous version of iTunes for some reason any.  If the last backup of 'previous' iTunes library is not too old, you can use this library file to open iTunes, using this procedure

  • How to import itunes library and sides of itunes on the pc to new mac

    Hello

    Need help because I have recently taken the plunge and moved from PC to a Mac. I have can´t work is how to import my itunes library and the overall rating. in my opinion, it should be a simple thing but so far, all my efforts and solutions online did not work.

    I tried the data migration. This has created a new user. I thought that I could transfer the files in the set (all CD), but when I click on a song in the new user, it couldn t find the file. FYI I had consolidated the library itunes beforehand.

    I also tried to use an external HD drive. Same result even if I managed to put all my music on. I figured out how to export my rankings. Charge of their place and it worked until I clicked on a song and it couldn t find a file.

    This really should be simple so all advice very welcome.

    Thank you

    See make a library of portable split. A portable library can be moved from one platform to the other while keeping the ratings, playlists, etc. You can move the data over a network, or use an external drive. If you are using an external drive, so that you may need to copy the library twice larger Windows disks are NTFS format that OS X can read natively, but not will not write. And iTunes must be on a recordable disc.

  • Whenever I get up for a minute, my computer turns off is there a way to disable the functions "sleep" and "hibernate"?

    My computer used to stay... since I work with clients, my computer work is often interrupted. He is turns off if I stop for a moment and it's annoying to keep back on each time. The function 'Start'-j' looked where you shut down your computer and noticed "Sleep" - who says turn to turn off and saves the info... and "Hibernate" - which goes out and saves the info... but I don't remember always those who are there. Is there a way to disable this option, so my computer stays on?

    It is not related to firefox, but I think I can help you:

    1. Click on the stack (if you are connected, there a picture of a plug) in your taskbar (near the clock) windows
    2. Click more power Options
    3. Otherwise, go to control panel-> power options
    4. Click change when the computer sleeps
    5. Adjust the settings so that your computer does not sleep for a long period of time.

  • is there an alternative photo management system that works (and NOT the pictures)

    Y at - it another app that works better than the pictures, that we can use to manage the photos, because they took iPhoto and replaced it with pictures?  Is there a way just to import photos and save them to your computer in folders, as you would on a Windows system? And then maybe just use Picasso or something?

    You can still use iPhoto if you are eligible:

    Re: Iphoto's gone? I want to go back!

    Go to the App Store and check out the shopping list. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1

    If it's there, then drag your existing iPhoto application (not the library, just the app) in the trash

    Install the application on the App Store.

    IPhoto is sometimes not visible on the shopping list. It may be hidden. See this article for more details on how to view it.

    http://support.Apple.com/kb/HT4928

    A question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?

    iPhoto, the application and the iPhoto library are two different parts of the iPhoto program. So, reinstall the application should not affect the library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Is there a way to sort a swatch library?

    Pretty simple, I just want to be able to put the shades in a library in a specific order. I don't see a way to do this, but I hope that I just lack. A google search provided no useful comments on this so I thought that the next step would be to ask here.

    So, is there a way to do this?

    Thank you!

    Edit:

    I understand how to change the .aco text, but there must be an easier way. It works for now, but in the long term, would not be a reasonable solution.

    You should be able to use the Preset Manager to sort the nuances in the order you want:

    Is Edit > Preset Manager or Edit > Presets > Preset Manager

    Then, you can drag the nuances in the order you want and save the library like any other, so you can use it at any time.

  • is there a way to NEST or MERGE videos and keep the audio waveform in the timeline?

    Hi guys,.

    I was struggling with solutions for my workflow.

    I do a lot a microphone on a single video track changes. Then when I want to apply and modify the presets, I must apply the effects on all the small changes (sometimes 100 edits in a 3 minute clip).

    So I learned about fusion - but the merger does not allow you to modify the effects in the batch. So in the above example, if I want to make a change in an effect in a merged item, I have to hold single OPTION click on all editions of 100 and then adjust the effects.

    Then I bent over the NESTING. It works pretty well because it transforms all 100 mounts in 1 clip and I can't batch "edict", which means that I can change the effects on all editions of 100 at a time (because it's now 1 clip on the timeline). "

    However, the problem I have now nesting is... get rid of the file audio waveform in the timeline panel. So now, it is difficult to edit audio.

    Is there a way to merge, merge or nest together to make 1 clip (like nesting) and also to keep the audio waveform on the chronology of the changes?

    Kind regards

    Try the sequence > rendered audio and see if you get a waveform.

    The solution for a number of people with problems of speed for the library module is to position the metadata Panel on the 'default' or close it. John R. Ellis compliments.
