After a bit of Google-fu I came across this: iLounge Forum post which explained what I needed to do. Select all of the items in question, right click, Get Info, on the Options tab selection "Part of a Compilation" Yes

I was organizing my office and came across some CD's of MP3s I had put together back in the late 90's early 00's. I made an album folder in iTunes under compilations and dropped the songs in there. I then added them to iTunes under File - Add song to library. They had no information attached...

And then like magic, 3 hours after I activated my phone, my contacts just appeared.

So I just logged into iCloud and my contacts are there, but not on my phone. My phone is set to synch contacts with iCloud so how do I now get the down to my phone?

I backed up my 3Gs last night knowing that FedEx was going to deliver my new 4s this morning along with my wife's. I synched her 3 last night as well. I plugged her new phone into her computer and all is good. I plugged mine into my computer and everything came over except my contacts. I'm...

I ordered two, my 32GB black and my wife's 16GB black on the 8th. According to Apple my order is currently preparing for shipment and will arrive between the 24th and 31st. I figure all of the activation issues will be cleared by that point. I knew that I couldn't wait in line yesterday due...

I followed a link to io9 for a Doctor Who article on Facebook and now I can't get my app to go back to Facebook. I am on a field trip with my students and so can't do a factory restore. I have restarted the phone, used the task bar to close the app and each time I start it again it goes to the...

My wife has a 3g iphone. Today she hooked it up to her computer to synch it and it took over 14 hours and then...she touched it and the synch ended before it had completed. She is running 3.1.3 on her iPhone. Any idea why this is taking so long?

So I did the 4.01 update on my 3GS. I've loved the iOS4.0on my 3GS, with my phone feeling faster than it did before. I did the 4.01 update Friday. I noticed yesterday that when I use a dock connector I have a problem playing music. I have a car stereo that has a USB jack which allows me to...

So I currently have a belt holster case that closes with velcro. I reeeeeally hate the "rip" sound. Is having a case with a magnet in it bad for the phone? I would expect that if it was they wouldn't sell them but I wanted to ask before I switched cases.

So today I tried to launch Skype and was told it would only run on an unmodified iPhone? I'm jailbroken for all the fantastic things that JB does but does anyone know what to do now? Skype won't work and I'm trying to reach some friends in Singapore.

This seemed to be the best forum to post this as it deals with Media. So if I have some pictures I'd like to not have everyone who looks at my phone see, what is the best way to keep them private? Nothing too wild here. I teach and I do occasionally show my students pictures I've taken on my...

So it appears that I had set my iPhone on permanent shuffle but didn't realize it or know how to turn it off. When you are playing a song, I didn't know that if you double tapped the album cover you would be shown a little bar which allows you to turn on/off repeat, genius, and my most recent...

I have a 3gs that is jailbroken with the most recent version of Blackrain. I'm not sure when it happened but I noticed it today, that whenever I'm listening to music that are either from a playlist or an entire album it isn't playing it in order. This makes listening to something like Pink...

So... can I get a bluetooth enabled car stereo and use that to send my music to the car stereo? My 2001 Honda Passport has a cassette deck that I'm looking to replace. I was going to go with an Aux in jack but doing it withouth cables would be sweet. I have an FM transmitter currently but...
