• How import you a various artist CD as an album?

  I have a CD called "The Party Greatest of All Time" or something like that. It is an album by various artists. In my view albums on iTunes (Windows), it shows an album called "the biggest party of all time and the artist is the Village People, because a song on the CD is YMCA by the Village people. There is an album for all the artists with the same name. I want to know how to make a scrapbook of these artists.

  Usually just set a common Album artist and title of the Album. See the grouping of tracks in albums to deeper problems.

• The same artist is shown several times in the library - how to fix this?

  Hey everybody,

  I just imported some of my old songs in the iTunes library, which is organized by the artists in alphabetical order.

  But now, there is an artist who appears twice in the library. I checked the tags several times. It is the same for each album.

  When I'm traveling finder and check records to iTunes there is only one folder with the name of artists, containing all the music.

  So, how can it be? I have really no idea what's wrong right now.

  Thank you for your support in advance.

  The key field is the artist (obviously), but you can also check the Album artist field, which is used for sorting.  Looks like you are using the sight of artists to show your iTunes library, but it is more useful to use the sight of songs (simple list with columns) for troubleshooting this problem.  If the Album artist column is not a visible column in the view of songs , make it visible (line header right click to show/hide columns) and put it next to the column of the artist (drag to move left/right steering column).

  To ensure that all references to the artist and Album are the same, copy the entry that you want to use for this artists songs.  In a list of songs, select all songs from this artist.  Do a Get Info ( read the informationright click) on the selection.  In the window information from several element, Paste the name of the artist in the fields of the artist and the artist of the Album .  Check the view of the artists .

• Various artist - sorting issues iTunes

  So I have a huge library of compilations, some are properly identified in terms of the song name, artist name, album name and "album is a compilation of songs by various artists" checked.  HOWEVER

  the vast majority of them simply have Various Artists, or where the various in many cases, the name of the real artist is part of the name of the file (if necessary).

  The question I have, if you use iTunes 12.x is when I use the 'artist' list, the "various artists" are not all the albums under this unique collection, but rather, it chooses random albums, or in some cases only parts of the album and lists each item individually, so my 'view artist' list in iTunes is huge.

  I mucked the tab ' info/sort' a lot, but in many cases, it is just after I click OK.

  I think that the changing data in iTunes 'info' window does actually change metadata in the files themselves, then it is likely that these metadata which is the problem?

  If anyone has a solution, it's getting boring really have this huge list and having hunting a complete compilation because iTunes it scatters is different parts in a variety of groups.

  Setting usually a common Album title and the artist of the Album for each album will fix things.

  If the titles must be synchronized to a non - iOS device, this must be a good artist or the album must be defined as a Compilation.

  If iTunes displays multiple instances of an artist or an album then generally what works is to select all the associated tracks and use read the information to add say an end X for each of the areas of the slopes have in common:

  • For an album. Album, Album artist, and artist (if the artist is the same for all tracks)
  • For an artist; Album artist (and the artist unless there are comments/featured artists listed which should not be changed)

  Apply the change which merges things together, then remove the excess characters.

  Use the view of songs and display fields, Album, genre, Album, Album artist, genre artist Album, artist and genre artist side by side to see you whether or not it is necessary to change the artist and if sorting values could be the cause of additional problems. See grouping in albums, titles for help if necessary.

• Why iTunes classify an artist as being various artists albums

  It therefore has no value

  GREAT HELP thanks again itunes

  Can you give us some details?  rules of iTunes for the grouping of securities are as follows:

  • all the songs have the same value of the artist and the same value of Album , and/or
  • all the songs have the same value of the artist of the Album and the same value of Album , and/or
  • all the songs have the same value of Album and the flag is set to "the Album is a compilation... »

  The latest editions of iTunes have had some problems with a proper evaluation of these rules - there is a known for this workaround solution:

  • Select all the songs that should be grouped together in an album
  • Right click > information
  • Add a character "dummy" to the value of the Album - for example, replace "Hunky Dory" "xHunky Dory."
  • Click OK to close the editor - the songs should now be correctly grouped
  • Repeat the Edit to remove the dummy character - grouping should always be kept.

  With respect to compilations, iTunes supports two methods:

  • the Album artist affecting a common value (for example, "Various Artists")
    • If you have set up iTunes to organize his media files these albums will be stored in iTunes artists Media\Music\Various
    • This method will not work if you use a template more old iPod Classic or others - their firmware does not recognize the Album artist tag
  • definition of the indicator "the Album is a compilation... »
    • If you have set up iTunes to organize his media files these albums will be stored in iTunes Media\Music\Compilations (regardless of any value in the tags of the artist or Album artist )
    • I'll need to check, but I think that the flag "Album is a compilation...". ' is not recognized by (some?) iOS devices

  There is a Snow Leopard update that would probably help.  It's called 10.6.8 Combo update.  Download and apply.  Then discover iTunes.

• How can I sort my artists by name in itunes

  How can I sort my artists by name in itunes?

  Mark,

  iTunes has absolutely no concept of "last name."  It is simply a lexical sort on the text in the field of the Album.

  If you want to leave the name of the artist he is, but ignore it for sorting, you can enter data in the field artist sorting, which is on the tab of sort for each song.  Use the format "Lastname, Firstname" to get the kind you want.

  My new publisher of 12 items, runs only once after restarting the PC and seems to work well. I did a "clean install" repeatedly (cleared Temp files, shut down all applications, including Norton Antivirus and then installed DVD after a clean reboot). I can launch organizer of 12 elements several times, but the photo that editor runs only once. After that, I have to restart the PC, and then I can run the Editor again, but once again, only once.

• How to fix the display of files after move

  After several moves photos to a new disk (via file, move in Photoshop Elements 9 organizing) the folder view no longer displays the correct pictures.

  The photos are in the correct locations and properties also show the correct location.

  If I choose a directory in the folder, however, several photos appear which are not in this directory.

  I tried to repair the catalog, but the problem has not changed.

  Any ideas?

  I'm a lot missing an installation to the Organizer to move directories, a complete tree or just my catalog drive letter.

  See:

  and

  I found many posts on this bug and I don't know his reasons were understood, because it seems very difficult to reproduce the situation when it is not. I don't know how to fix this bug. I never had such a problem because I work normally in the thumbnail view, although the folder view is useful for me in certain circumstances.

  Move files by drag and drop in the left panel in the views folder should work.

  Moving files from one disk to another should also work.

• How to "Fix" on Slate

  Hi all

  Simple question, probably a simple answer, but I can't seem to understand how to "fix" items on my tab (as in, send to back, send, send forward, send forward, etc.).  I am just placing several buttons on the top of the image, but cat flash. keeps hidden them behind the image (some of them, apparently at random whether he places on the top of the slot another object) and I can't understand how to arrange on top. I tried to find a type of option or using the menus and I can't seem to find it.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey!

  It is a feature, you should look for in a future release.

  For now, there's a thing.

  You can use the layers panel to organize the order of your components of catalyst's Visual overlay.

  Basically, the order in which you see items in the layers panel is from top to bottom in the Visual stacking order.

  So, if you see:

  Button

  Checkbox

  Image

  VScrollbar

  This means that visually on your Web app, the button is on the top of the box, which is on the top of the image and so on...

  So if you want to put your buttons on the top of your image, click on each button, or multi select all buttons and drag them over the image component in the layers panel.

  Does that answer your question? I would like to know if it works for you!

• IPhoto to my Macbook Pro doesn't let me play video clips (usually taken with iPhone). I get a message: "Error OSStatus-54."  Anyone know how to fix this? Thank you!

  IPhoto to my Macbook Pro (old version) won't let me play the video clips more (it was). They are mostly of clips to iPhone. When I try to open them I get a dark white page with an error message:

  "Error OSStatus-54".

  Someone has seen this and someone has suggestions on how to fix it?

  It's so frustrating because with most of these clips, that is the only place where I stored them - some clips I get from family members as well... (In iPhoto, I see a picture of the first frame of the clip, but the clip does not play). Even when the new version of iPhoto appeared on my computer, my old version slept and I continued to use the old because I liked it is better (more familiar).  The videos were still on the old version when I got the new version, but they stopped play several months ago. Help! Please? Thank you!

  What version of iPhoto? The operating system?
