ITunes :: Why Is The Store Removing Some Songs/albums Here And There
Apr 27, 2012
First they removed all of the Monkey Majik albums in the US Store, now they've deleted a album by Moonjam in the Mexico store. Some of my friends think maybe it's because that certain album or two were no longer selling. And yet, there are other ones that literally have no reviews, no ratings, not one person buying a song from there, and yet, itunes is still hanging on to them.
I noticed this about a year ago. So, there are some songs that I cannot play in iTunes, on either my laptop or home computer. However, I can play them on my iPhone 3GS and my 3rd Generation iPod after being sync'd. A friend thought that it was perhaps these songs/albums were not "official" Apple iTunes downloads or not direct downloads from CDs. This is not correct, random songs from random mp3 sources including iTunes (Apple iTunes Store), and even complete albums (from CDs) are affected. Why is this? how can I correct this?
I recently upgraded from iMac OS 10.4.11 to OS 10.6 and transferred my iTune songs to my new computer--Intel Core 2 Duo. Now, I have 8,870 songs in one big list. I can play them, but I also want to make them into albums. Is there some way to do that instead of adding a new album title in the playlist and then copying songs from the music list those songs that belong in that particular album title?
There are some incomplete albums and some that are not even there. When i transfer it says that I can't because i'm not authorized when clearly my Computer is authorized.
I thought my album artwork was disappearing. Turns out the problem is a bit different (and weirder) than I thought it was.Â
When I look at the Album view in iTunes and see all the albums in a tile/grid layout, there are some albums that show no artwork. These just have the default gray cover with the...um...note thingy on it. But when I click on one of these album covers and see the songs, all of them *do* have artwork. When I play these songs, I also see the artwork. It's only at the album level that I don't.Â
How do I stop iTunes from breaking out all the songs in one album into multiple albums when the artist has many collaborators on the different songs, for example Timbaland? I want to just listen to the full album with all the songs, instead of having to play every song separately.
Downloading songs from cd's. One will go in as one album, shows a single artwork for the set.   Volume 2 loads like separate songs with the same album name AND with the sequence number, i.e., No. 4 of 15, On my iPad it appears as 15 albums with 1 song on them. Volume 1 appears as one album with 15 songs on it. Looks messy on the iPad. . .I have 16 albums with the same name. How to get albums together??
When I log in and try to manage my exisiting playlist, I click on add songs.
THe search window opens and I enter a song. The choices which then appear do not have "add song" buttons next to them. Instead, they have purchase options buttons.Â
I have tried this for weeks. Using a macbook pro (LION) with latest version of itunes.
So I used to love to go to the iTunes store, click the Top Charts Singles & then sort by music genre and download all the new rock songs. Is there any way to sort the top 200 songs by genre anymore?
i have two itunes accounts, one on the french store, my first one, and another on the US one.
i subscribed to itunes match with the french account, and when i went on the us one, i lost all my songs for three months! i need my two accounts, i live between nyc and paris.
I purchased an album off the itunes store recently, and one of the songs does not play in full, it stops after about 30 seconds - any idea why, how I can fix it, or how I can complain about it?
I am trying to copy some songs from my playlist to a CD but it changes the order of the songs during the conversion. I want the songs in alphabetical by name but iTunes arranges them alphabetically by artist.
I did like everyone else and downloaded the Mac App Store yesterday. After it was installed and my computer restarted, I noticed that some of my apps were missing (Reeder in particular). This is a legitimate app downloaded from their site and now it is gone with no official Mac App in the App Store (even though their is one in the iOS store). Should I be worried about the Mac store removing other apps I have installed? If I have a "borrowed" version of say MS Office, will the Mac App Store detect and remove it once office becomes available in the App Store?
I checked complete my album just now and saw these two albums. Who the * is Yanni? I did not purchase these and the weird thing is, they aren't in my recent purchases nor did they appear in any receipts I was emailed. Is iTunes screwing with me?
My iTunes 9 is making my songs not organize correctly by album. Most of the songs are grouped together in my library that are of the same album, but one album has separated songs. They are the exact same album and spelled correctly. I just bought them off iTunes and was looking for them in my library and couldn't find them when I looked at the rest of the album. I look farther down the list, and way farther down they appear. Album name is correct, but I guess iTunes just decided to not place them with the rest of the songs in the album in alphabetical order it should. My iPod touch lists the same albums multiple times when I search for albums. The album "classical" shows up almost 10 times in the list for some reason. The song list doesn't differ b/w them, and some songs are missing. All other albums are fine. What is going on here? Did my classical songs all of a sudden decide to become unique in a bad way?
I made sure that all tags were the same, including album artwork, and I edited all of the album's information at the same time so that it would be the same. But still iTunes seems to see these guys as two separate albums.
I've just found out that I can not properly put my music on both iPhone 4S and iPad (iOS 5.1).
try do the following and place the result here whether you see same behavior.
Steps:
1. Enable Manual sync on you iOS device;
2. Drag and Drop any album from your library to iPhone -> songs start to transfer;
3. Now, while songs are transfering get another album and drop it to your iPhone;
4. ISSUE IS THAT: you should notice that the transfer of the first album is interrupted and the latest album is transferring ONLY;
So, at the end you have just several songs from first album and all songs from the second one. So, basically each new album you drag and drop interrupts previous transfer.
I would like to purchase music from the French i-tunes store. The music is not available in the US store. I was told I have to be a resident of France, with a French Credit Card and adderss. Seems rediculous in a world market to not allow electronic download purchases across the pond. At the very least the French artists should be listed on the us site too. I suspect the "cloud" has plenty of room.
Info: MacBook (13-inch Late 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
After years of downloading single songs from iTunes, today I downloading an entire album. I thought that a Playlist would be created for this album, but itwasn't. So I manually created a playlist with the album name and then added all the songs. Is this the correct way? Or did I do something wrong? Is there a way to download an entire album into a playlist of the same name?
Having transferred my iTunes library from my old PC to my new Mac. Many of the albums will not play because they are not authorized. Authorization lists very old email addresses of which I do not have the passwords or, in fact, access to the email websites.
To free up space on my Mac os x Leopard I want to download my iTunes albums to a flash drive.and then delete them from my computer. How do I do this without losing the albums? I'm not quite sure how to copy then download.
I ripped the "Top 10" Billboard albums from each of the last 30 years. Some of them are great while some are crap, but I am a completist so I do not want to delete them. how I can essentially hide all of these albums (or a subset of these albums) from basically all views in iTunes or alternatively to move all of them under one tag, such as "Billboard Top 10 - 2001"? I thought about using the compilation tag, but do not know if that's the best way to go.Â
I pre order two new albums that came out today thinking they would just automatically download on the day of there release. But that didn't happen. So I figured, "heck, I'll just go in and download them buy clicking the "complete my album" and paying the 10.99 it wants me to pay." Well that didn't work. Furthermore, it won't let me "complete my album" on one of the albums all together. It won't let me download either of the albums at all...
