Artist name not appearing in list

I received a new Ipod Classic 160GB for Christmas. I have transferred some CD's to it and some of the names of the artists are not appearing in the list of names. The albums are there - is there any way to get these to display? Thanks!

... and as well as the helpful answers provided by planb77 and Jeff there is another little trick you could try.
Remove the Compilations heading from the *Main Menu* of your iPod. This will then cause all the artists who only appear on compilation albums to appear on the iPod/music/Artists* list.
To remove the Compilations heading, go to *Settings/Main Menu* and make sure Compilations does not have a tick next to it.

  • Please help! Artist names not appearing in ipod after syncing!

    Hey there everyone, I really really need some help with this problem that I have now had for 2 months. I have this problem on 3 different ipods so I know it is not a problem with the ipod, it is with itunes.
    My itunes library is in perfect order and set up how I want it to be when in my ipod, e.g, every song has the artist, album and song name in the correct places in the 'get info' tab, and appears in the correct places in the itunes library.
    However, when I synchronise my ipod with itunes, the artist tab in the ipod consistently says 'no artists'. However, the songs are in the songs tab and albums in the albums tab, but it doesn't register the artists. Because of this I can't search for the artists I want.
    I have spoken to apple numerous times and they haven't been able to tell me what is wrong with it. I'm at my wits end with this and so greatly appreciate any help or advice anyone can give.
    Things I have tried so far include, changing ipods, selecting all as part of a compilation, deleting the music from itunes and then putting back into itunes. None of this has worked.
    Please help
    Thanks

    *When I rip CD's onto iTunes and then upload them onto my iPod some of them DON'T APPEAR ON THE 'ARTIST' section of my iPod Nano.*
    There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
    If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.

  • Layout Par file name not appearing in list while creating new Layout

    Hi
    I downloaded com.sap.portal.layouts to modify the light_framework page to suit my needs, renamed it to com.mycomp.portal.layouts, modified the page, created a par file and uploaded it thru NWDS.
    When I go to the portal to create a new Layout, I do not see my custom par file in the list.
    I have even uploaded it from the portal: System Administration -> Support -> Support Desk -> Portal Runtime -> Administration Console -> Archive Uploader. Even after it was successful, I was not able to see the par file listed while creating a new Layout.
    How do I get my Layout par file listed do i can create my Layout?
    Thanks
    J

    Hi Bala
    I never had a problem with the JAR files in this par file while opening, nor did I have to manually add anything.
    I know it has been successfully uploaded in the portal, as I can see my par file in the Archive Deployment Checker.
    What could be wrong? Is there something else I have to put in the portalapp.xml to make it visible in the list?
    Thanks

  • Epson DX5000 driver does not appear on list in'print using' box

    Epson DX5000 driver does not appear in list despite the fact that I have downloaded the software.
    When the printer is connected and I try and print I first go to 'add printer' in the print dialogue window. This takes me to the printer browser where the Epson DX5000 appears - at this starge I can't add as this option is not highlighted. Instead I have to go to 'print using' where I click on Epson - this is where the problems start as the DX is not on the very long list.

    Hi Ali
    Yes I have installed the software
    I have been using another printer so I realise that I don't need to add printer each time - this is the first time using this new printer
    After I 'add printer' I am taken to the printer browser where the RX5000 is listed (this is in the default browser mode) when I then click the RX5000 the name and location appear in the appropriate boxes but I am unable to press the 'add' button. I have to go to more printers where I then go on to look in the epson folder.
    this is where I get stuck as my printer is not listed

  • Artists DO NOT Appear on iPod Directory

    This is kind of annoying: Some of the artists do not appear on my iPod's "Artist" directory, so I have to look under "Albums" to find the artist that way. Anyone have any idea what could cause this?

  • Airport BaseStation's name does not appear in list of workgroup's members

    I have a windows workgroup called NUCFAM with two PCs running XP Pro in it.
    I have replaced my linksys router with an Airport Extreme Base Station to which I have attached two printers and a disk. I have configured the AEBS to have the Airport Extreme name "celery" and I have configured the AEBS to be in the workgroup NUCFAM by using the Airport Utility>Disks>File Sharing panel.
    On Windows, where I have installed BonJour, each of my printers is listed as located at celery in the printer's properties.
    However, in Windows Explore>Tools>Map Network Drive if I click the Browse button
    a dialog appears that lists, under a node labeled NUCFAM, the names of my two PCs but not the name of the AEBS, i.e. celery. Instead the AEBS is named by the same twelve hex digits that Airport Utility lists as its Ethernet ID.
    And in a CMD shell
    net view \ \celery
    fails to find the network path. However,
    net use \ \10.0.1.1
    does find the AEBS and lists the disk's name.
    Can I get the AEBS to appear on the Windows side with the AEBS's name?
    Thanks.

  • Artist name not showing up in itunes

    I just imported an album and the artist names didn't appear in itunes. So, I selected all the songs and added the artist names in the Get Info window. They still don't show in the list on itunes, but they do now show in the info windows of individual songs. Ideas? Here is how the artist names are listed: Frances Clark, Louise Goss, Sam Holland
    Thanks in advance!
    Susanne

    Susan,
    Try this:
    1. Select all of your songs, (click the first song then hold down shift and click the last song).
    2. Once that is done right click the highlighted songs and click get info.
    3. A message will pop up asking if you want to change info for multiple songs select yes.
    4. Once your in this get info screen go to the album artist field and type in all of the artists in that field (make sure you put them in the order you want to see them listed in the itunes libary).
    5. When your finished select ok and you're done!
    (NOTE: *an easy way to see the album artist is by going to the top of the itunes window and you should see three buttons with the word view under them and select the middle button, now you can view all of your albums songs & artwork under the artwork should be the artists name(s).)
    Hope this helps,

  • I have a single song that is on my iPod Classic 7 but the artist does not appear and under "artists" in the music it doesn't appear, nor does it in albums. All the information on the song is correct the artist just will not appear. Why is this?

    All the information is correct and filled correctly, I have chacked seven times, but it still will not appear, why?

    Any funny characters in the artist or album names? I take it that it is not hiding for the reasons given in Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist? Sort fields can sometimes cause items to be listed in a different place within the list. Can you find it using search on the device?

  • Event name not appearing in calendar

    We currently have Novell Groupwise 8 as our email system and we are syncing with the iPad by using the Microsoft Exchange, when creating a new event, the event name does not appear on the calendar?? Event names for previously created events are showing but not a newly created event. On the calendar, the start time of the event shows but not the event name, it appears as a "New Event" not what has been listed in the subject line when the event is created.  It is not consistent and I can't figure out what is causing the problem...

    this is even weirder - when I backed out of the forum page and re-entered the discussion via the pulldown menu on the left hand side of the support homepage (iCal/then discussion forums link next to the iCal icon), the post message link appears. Coming into the discussions via the support link on the apple homepage, then discussions link under the Mac graphic, doesn't allow me to post....

  • Yahoo toolbar appeared without my consent. Can't get rid of it. Does not appear in list of add-ons or in list of programs installed for uninstall. (Win7; FFx5) Please help me delete this annoyance.)

    I was prompted to update Java. I got a YAHOO toolbar which I did and do not want. I can't get rid of it. It does not appear on the Add-on list, not in the programs list (to uninstall). Can't find anything with Yahoo in the name. I do not want to use View, because it keeps coming back into view without my consent -- I want it gone permanently.
    The uninstall directions in Yahoo help call for click on pencil tool (which tool is not found on this toolbar). Firefox instructions say go to Add-on list, but the Yahoo bar is not there. There are several Java add-ons, but I don't know what they are and what happens if they are uninstalled.
    Win 7; Firefox 5.0; Yahoo toolbar ver 2.3.8.20110620112826
    Perhaps it is disguised as something else. If so please tell me what to uninstall.

    Try RIGHT clicking on different areas of the toolbars on Firefox, mainly try right clicking on/around the url bar & forward/back navigation buttons. When you get the correct spot if will give you a menu with the toolbars available (whether or not they're active) and a couple other options. Just uncheck the Yahoo one & you should be all set.
    As you say though it may be some other bar disguised as a yahoo bar. Any chance you can get a screen shot of it & post it here?

  • Purchased ringtone does not appear in list in settings/sounds/ringtones

    Hi I bought a ringtone on my iphone today and I can see it in the purchased downloads, and I can see on my MacBook after sync, but it does not appear in the list of ringtones on my iPhone, so I can't set it as my default. Can anyone tell me how I find this purchased ringtone and set it as my default ring?

    I pressed the itunes icon on my iphone, up came the title screen, and one of the offerings on it was "Ringtones RCP Ringtones 1.0" you either buy the full library of the tones for $3.99 or just one for .99, which is what I did, I found the one I wanted (it sounds like a British telephone with that double ring-ring) and hit the buy button. It asked for my iTunes password which I gave, and then it downloaded. In other words, exactly like any other itunes song does.
    Now it's sitting on my iphone in the downloads file. When I couldn't get it to appear in the settings/sounds/ringtones section so I could choose it, I thought maybe I should do a sync with my itunes on my computer, so I did that, making sure that "sync ringtones" was checked. Now there is a new file on my computer itunes called "Purchased on [my name]'s iPhone" however there is nothing in the ringtones folder on the computer itunes, and I've tried dragging it out of that purchased folder into the library and into the ringtones folder and it won't go in.
    I can play it on my phone, and I can play it on my computer. it appears like any other song on itunes. but I can't make it become the ringtone on my phone!
