• iTunes organization: how to fix several "Various Artists".

  Hello

  When I click on the 'Artists' view, everything is very well organized with the exception of three entries of Various Artists.  I want all the albums with 'Various Artists' under the terms of the same artist section.

  Various Artists - main entry, 57 albums (for most soundtracks): that's what I want everything to be under.

  Various Artists - album set, soundtrack.  Can not get with the rest of the artists.

  Various Artists - 2-12 titles of a compilation.  The first track of this is properly listed under the main heading of Various Artists, but I can't get the rest to go with it.

  Note: When I use the Album view, all my songs for the album from split are listed under the same album, but they are still distributed under artist.

  I tried to use "Get Info" to ensure that everything is in order, but it seems to fit, but it still does not move.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Hello

  This problem keeps popping up.

  Navigate to one of the pieces that is in the right place and copy the text by the artist of the album - Various artists.

  It is important to make the info get in the footsteps of rogue and copy in the field artist album the text of various artists that you copied in the previous step.

  If the tracks do not go to the right place after doing this, drag the traces of red on the desktop and delete them from your iTunes library. Quit iTunes.

  Restart iTunes and then add the titles to the iTunes library... They should now all merge as should be... It may take a few goes and may take some time... See what's happening.

  

• 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

• 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.

• ITunes divides albums by artist sort mode

  Hello.

  I recently updated to Itunes 12 and discovered that when I add a new album to the library he very often gets split into individual albums for each track in the genre of the artist. In the genre of the Album, it seems very good, but not always. For example, an album of 12 bride Schumann, seen in the kind of artist, track has 12 different Robert Schumann in the list, each with a f = album title

  I have reformatted all the info on the album, adding Album artist ino and check how the information listed under defined sorting, but nothing is.

  I use an older Imac (2008ish) and my library is stored on an external hard drive, for what it's worth.

  Thanks for any info, you might be able to provide.

  I get this all the time. There is a work around. You may need to try in a different order.

  Right click on one of the edges and the info. Copy the artist of a track name and paste it to the track which split.

  

  Then drag the track from iTunes to the desktop. You can then delete it from your iTunes library. Then goto the artist, and then add the track to your desktop file iTunes library' add to library... then he should go to the artist.

  It is a recurring issue with iTunes. It is in the metadata embedded in some ways... If you select an artist name, you can see that there is a space after the name. The space is not invisible for iTunes, he sees it as a Charter.

  Also, try to clear the name of the artist full of info from the track and you could see that iTunes still recognizes the artist, even if it is empty - is data embedded...

• Sorting in Itunes 12 problems

  I have sort within the 12.3.2.35 Itunes 64-bit. Whenever I try to enter an artist in the fields "sort as" for a group of songs under Get Info-> sort, he would return to the "Mixed" value I also disabled the compilation box in the Get Info-> Details tab without success. The album continues to show under "Unknown artist" in my library of music Iphone 6 s. help, please!

  Changes cannot be applied one of the reasons are covered in the thing to fix for iTunes for Windows security permissions. The other is several tags.

  Several tags (Only Mp3 files)

  The ID3 specification allows files to have several tags in different versions and languages, but iTunes does not work properly with simple tags. When multiple tags are present it can sometimes do not apply updates to the tag that reads back (probably update one of the others in the file) and it is also possible that the iPod & iTunes may have different rules for the tag that they give priority to. This could lead to situations where everything is properly organized in iTunes, but then inexplicably collapses on an iPod, or tracks that display different information in Windows Explorer or another media player. There are tags 3rd party editors that allow to manipulate several tags, but I don't have a casual recommendation. A workaround in iTunes is to use the context menu convert the ID3 Tags... > no a few times to remove all the labels, then convert ID3 Tags... > v2.3 to build a cool tag with information still held in the iTunes database. I've read in the past that iTunes is not completely compatible with the specification v2.4, although this may be the case, support is more however for v2.3 is widespread, then I would say using v2.3 to v2.4. All embedded work will be deleted so it must be replaced if wanted. Executes a script named CreateFolderArt before and after the cleaning process tag must handle this.

  It is also worth noting that the Album artist takes precedence over the artist in iTunes and on iOS devices. The two fields must be filled for best results.

• work for artists seen in iTunes

  The work for the artist in iTunes has gone since 12.5.1.21 update is not good at all

  Everyone knows this problem. Apparently, they withdrew for the cover art of the artist column and replaced by pictures of Apple's music artists.

• How to search for the artist in the iTunes Store app

  I am only looking for artists and never for anything else. Never for a specific song, never for no music. seems that the artist is the most obvious way searching for music. I'm I missed something?

  Where is "search by artist"?

  Just type the name of the artist. Yes, you'll see a number of results - some of which may be other than the music media. I don't know what you expect. 'Artist' without things like Albums, songs, videos produce almost a meaningless result.

• Same album name various artists

  Hi there, I have two album of the same name, but that is to say different artists 'Atlas' is the name of the album shared by artists real estate and FM-84. My iPod classic group them under one name when I look in the option of the Album. How to separate these two without renaming the name of the album? See you soon

  How to separate these two without renaming the name of the album?

  You can not. My approach is to use the < Album > - < Album artist > scheme under the name of the album when the same title is used by more than one album. I also move any artist information invited / featured in the track name and use a common artist. For more details, see grouping of tracks in albums .

• How to sort issues on Satellite A505-S6973

  Can anyone tell me if the warranty period on my laptop was not successful, can I find my computer toshiba laptop and have solved all my problems. Is there a cost to do some related software repair needs to be done and how I'm supposed to go about it, because my laptop starts to have all kinds of little mistakes, I noticed that my hard drive has used 156 GB even though I have about 60 gigs in use.

  Some multimedia keys do not work, but I the touch, my touchpad won't turn off with the hard button unless I turn it off using the FN key and my processor is low, but when I use a program I see that it is reached between 85 and 100% usage.

  I like much this laptop, but the issues I'm having I highly doubt it should work this way.

  I don't know what model of laptop you have, but if I understand you right that you just want to have good OS. Right?

  To do this, you need not to communicate with the service. Just reinstall with supplied operating system recovery Toshiba image and your laptop will have factory settings again.
  It will be like the day of purchase and after the first start.

  All that s!

• Report sorting issue

  We use the apex 4.2.3. I have a page with a report from the region.  The report is based on PL/SQL returns a SQL query.  The report runs as expected, but I'd like to that report output to sort, however, I don't want the column to the user titles can change.  For example, I want just the output sorted by columns 3,4,5 and does not allow the user interaction with it.  I tried to add the "order" to my function of the return value, it makes me just a "Can't analyze" error  I know it's simple, no doubt, but I do not see where to do that.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  You have deselected all options sort by column in the attributes report?

• Single column supporting different FK of various tables [Design issue]

  What would be a good design for a table with a column that can be worth a few different tables FK.
  The Fk constraint doesn't have to be applied.
  
  My thought is to simply make an int with another column in the table that defines the origin of the value.
  
  Is there a better way to do it?
  
  Thank you

  If the FK column in this table must exist in the table of a parent or another? Hmmm. As FK relationships must be able to be provided by the database to be useful, maybe...

  Create two columns, one for the FK to one parent and one for the FK to parent b. You can then declare the FK relationship in the database so that it can enforce and make profit in the optimization of queries. Then add a check constraint to the table to assert that none of the columns is null, and only one of then has a value (while the other is null). Outer join to both tables parent with a DECODING on the query returns the appropriate parent (research) value of the result set.

  
SELECT c.col_a,
DECODE( p1.col_b, NULL, p2.col_c, p1.col_b )
FROM child c,
parent_a p1,
parent_b p2
WHERE c.id = p1.c_id (+)
AND c.id = p2.cid (+);

• iTunes 12.4 - various misfortunes of Compilation of artist (s)

  Discovered an interesting 'oddity' when you scroll my iTunes music section today. I am an avid collector of now that's what I call music compilations (do it for completeness sake these days...) and I spotted 2 albums weren't in the Compilations section in the 'Album view' (39 and 58, for those who are interested).

  I'm pretty meticulous with my albums, so I checked the following:

  1. is the compilation area checked on all the songs on the album? Yes

  2. is the same for all the songs from the album the artist album? Yes (Various Artists, btw)

  3. is the album stored in the folder of compilations on the hard drive? Yes

  4 are the same for all the songs, i.e. the default values the sorting information? Yes

  5 songs are in the same format (AAC) as the rest of the library? Yes

  6 is equivalent to the cover of the album? Yes (this is where I started to clutch at straws)

  Then, I tried several different things:

  1 remove the songs from iTunes, but not the location of the hard drive. Result - no change

  2 remove the songs from iTunes and the location of the hard drive (the trash reloaded). Result - no change

  3 saved the files to another location, and then deleted from the original location. Result - no change

  4 change "Various Artists" in the box of the Album artist to "various artist". Result - moved to the correct location...

  5. change one song of "Various Artist", back to "Various Artists". Result - start the wrong position...

  Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and how to fix it permanently? My neuroses can not handle to scroll to the song and see this little wobble between "Various Artists" and "Various artist" on 2 places along a section of Compilations otherwise Immaculate

  I understand that two of your albums are not shown as compilations as they should be. I know how it is important to keep things organized, then I would be happy to share information with you that can help.

• Update iTunes 12.0.4.119 does not sort by artist album?

  With the last iTunes update, all my compilations are now classified under V (for various artists), even though at least half of them are not compilations of real and I prefer that they are filed with the main artist.  For example, the last album tribute to George Harrison (George Fest), I have the compilation box checked and individual artists listed for each track.  However, in the artist field album, I put "Harrison, George (Various Artists)" while the album is ranked immediately after my albums of George Harrison.  Now she is mixed with because v that the iTunes update eliminated the ability to sort by album artist.  I'm missing something here, or should I wait for the next update and hope they add this back in?

  iTunes will sort albums separately if the indicator "the Album is a compilation...". "is checked.  Unless you use an iPod Classic or another older iDevice, you can clear this check box and simply use the Album artist tag as you describe.
