How to fix split albums on iPhone?
My iTunes account is synced on my iPhone and computer, so whenever I download or buy a song in iTunes on my computer, it is automatically downloaded onto my iPhone. And if it is deleted in either device, it's also deleted on the other one. I bought an album and it was fine until about two weeks later. On my iPhone, it split the album in two since some of the songs featured different artists. However, it was not split on my computer. I tried to check the spot in the info tab where it says "album is a compilation of artists", and it let me check it, but nothing changed. I redid it a few times and restarted both my phone and computer but nothing changed. I googled it but couldn't find anything besides what I'd already done. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
I see the same thing with multi-artists albums.
It looks like you have to multi-select the tracks that should be in the same album and set the "compilation" box for all at the same time.
Plus, the "Album artist" field must be set & be identical for all the tracks in an album, to guarantee itunes sees all the tracks as a single album group.
It's nonsensical as there's no single album artist with a compilation… I'd probably use something like
Various - the album title
in that field, so it's unique to each album but not confusing the actual track artist names.

- Why does iTunes split up my albums? This probably one of the only things I liked better about my Windows phone. When I transferred albums from my PC to my phone, all of the albums stayed in tact, whether or not there was more than one artist featured on a given album. However, as I began to transfer music from my PC to my iPhone, the albums were split up anytime a song had a different artist. Why does iTunes do this? It is beyond annoying.
- Why are my messages being split up? I just switched from the iPhone 5c to the new Galaxy 6s Edge from AT&T. Whenever I send my cousin a text with multiple sentences they split up sentence by sentence. She has the iPhone 5s with Verizon i believe. Is there any way to fix this?
- What app do you use to make split-pics? Alright so some of my friends have been posting pictures on Facebook and instagram where it looks like there's two of them doing a different pose in the picture. You can't tell that it's only one person, and it's not just flipped around. I understand it is a split-pic, but would somebody mind telling me what app I could make one of these pictures with? (For iPhone)
- I accidentally split some polish remover on my iPhone 5? My phone is working perfectly, actually I'm posting this from it, it is just that it have like a shadow on the left corner of the screen. What can I do?!
