Artist names do not show up on my idpod

When I sync my itunes to my ipod, some of the artist names do not show up in the Menu for artists. The music is on there, but the listing does not show.

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 is incorrectly marked as part of a compilation (and you have Compilations enabled on the iPod) or 2) the song has no album name associated with it.
if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation (as described in the link above), 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. If you are using iTunes 8, in the the multiple items info box the compilations setting is in the "Options" tab. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.
Also if the 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.

Searching by artist name does not show songs with artists name in song title

If i search by an artist's name in itunes, it does not display songs by a different artist that have the artist's name in the song title, such as remixes that have a parenthesis, then the searched artist's name after with no space in between, like it used to. For example, I searched "Munchi" (artist name), and it showed songs listing munchi as the artist, but not songs with munchi in the title. In the old itunes, if I searched "munchi", the list of songs would include the song Chicken Lover (Munchi likes 'em fried moombahton remix), which is a song by the artist "bassanova", but now that song and songs like that (remixes) in which the artist im searching has their name in the song title but not as the song artist, are not included. This is a serious problem for me as it leaves out alot of songs which the searched artist has collaborated on out. In the old itunes i would get a list of any song which had the word "munchi" in any field, whether or not the word munchi had any letters or symbols before or after it.

Some of the Artist names are not showing up in iTunes or my iPod

I have a couple of songs by Yanni on iTunes and my iPod Video (5th Generation). The songs are listed and so are the albums, but the artist name is not. I tried retyping the artist's name but that didn't work.

Artist name will not show up on iphone 5s

I have synced my iTunes correctly. On my iTunes, the artist name show up. On my iPhone it is labled as "unkonw artist". but when I play the song, it will scroll the name of the song and the name of the artist.
any ideas how to correctly put the album with the artist instead of the "unkown".
Like I said, on my iTunes on my iMac it is organized and labled perfectly.
On my iPhone, it is labled as "unknown artist", except when I hit play, it will display the artist name.

Thanks for all the quick replies. Much appreciated. The person who said go to your iTunes, highlight the songs in the album and make sure the part of a compilation was not clicked was genius.
oh wait, that was me.

Artist name does not appear in artist list but album name is in album list - Ipod Classic 160gb

For an album I have imported onto my iPod from iTunes, the album name is in the Album list but the Artist name is not on the Artist list. I have tried deleting the album from the iPod and re-adding from ITunes but the same result. It is a single artist album, so the artist name is exactly the same for each track; all the tracks are there. Big nuisance as I use artist name a lot to find specific albums.

this did not work for me,
Possibly because your problem (you say) was the album name. The original post was about the artist name and is therefore a different problem.

...I had to fill in the Album for each song, then it showed on my ipod, for ones I did ot know, I just put bloody apple.
Huh?
Let me get this right, you had lots of songs without the album name in them, so you filled in the album name yourself - if you knew the album name. If you didn't know the album name, you then entered the same text on all the rest of those songs. So now, you must have a lot of songs all on the same album, even though they're not meant to be - and - you've put text in to a lot of your songs that will remind you forevermore, of just how unhappy you are.
Well! &
My question to you is; where did you get the songs from, that they came without the correct information in them?
If you imported them from a CD, iTunes will go and get the information for you.
If you bought the songs from the iTunes Store, or another music retailer, the information is in the digital file that you purchased.
How therefore, does so much of your music appear to be incomplete?
Am I missing something, or have you simply failed to explain the porblem properly?

My Iphone 5 updated to IOS 6.2 and now my contact names do not show on incomming calls or text messages. All i can see is the number of the person calling. how can i fix this?? please help

I updated my iphone software to IOS 6.2 yesterday and im not sure if it is a coincidence but now, my contact names do not show on incomming calls or messages. Also they do not show on past calls or recent history.
All my contacts in my phonebook still exist and are correct, the problem only occurs when receiving calls or messages. please help i need this fixing
Regards,
Frosty

Try to restore your iphone via iTunes or update to ios6.1.2.
If itunes gives an error with restoring (DFU/Recovery or just normal)
try this:
open your computer and search on windows; C://windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
open up the hosts file in note pad you will see IP adresses and more add another line and put in this:
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
this is a by-pass to the cydia/saurik restore server, it has nothing to do with jailbreaking over voiding apple's warranty
let me know if succeeded!

File name does not showing the InDesign icon?

I have got few files from my client and they said it is an InDesign CS2 version file. but the file name does not showing the InDesign icon on the file name, though I have CS2 and I have tried other version too.
Also I could not open the file in any version.
Can somebody help me?

there is no screen shot...
You must either post a link to it on another server or embed it into a post using the camera icon on the web page like this:

When someone messages me their contact name does not show up as how i saved them!!! does this mean someone has access to my phone?

When I get a message from my friend, her contact name does not show up the way I saved her and I am wondering if someone has hacked my phone or something

That is what I am trying to work through. I understand you are seeing it in Notifications, that was what I was trying to confirm. When you open the message, what is displaying on the phone, Juan? Is Notification the only place that you are seeing this name differently? And yes, if you have the name saved as John, it should display as John. How are you backing up/syncing your contacts? Are you using a supported application on the computer, or are you using a cloud service, such as iCloud? If you go into your contacts and look in the upper left corner of the application, does it list more than one source for your contacts? Do you have more than one person with the same phone number listed in contacts, similar to having two people that work at the same place? Is the Notification only displaying a first name and no last name? Do you have first names only in your contacts?

Song names do not show up on itunes from my own cd's

When I load a cd into my computer it does not show the album name or the song names. Does anyone know what I ma doing wrong

From iTunes 101 http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/tunes/2/#1
1. Insert an audio CD into your computer.
2. If your computer is connected to the Internet, iTunes will automatically display the album title and all track names (if the album is listed in the Gracenote CD database).

Custom header name does not show in ALV...

CDs loaded, Artist name does not appear in ARTISTS list

Among all the CDs I've loaded and songs purchased, I have 2 Carly Simon
CDs on my video iPod. However, Carly Simon's name does not appear in my
list of ARTISTS in the Music Menu.
I did a sync with my iTunes list and the songs are indeed loaded.
Why is her name missing from the list and how do I get it back?
It used to be there!
Thanks-

I just found the answer on the discussion board.
In my SETTINGS I had compilations turned on.
When I switched it off, Carly Simon was back in my
ARTISTS list.

My user name does not show in finder

I recently had to do a re-install of OS X Yosemite on my brand new Macbook Pro due to some files being corrupt during the transfer of my aperture and iTunes librarys from my old iMac to the new Macbook. (Aperture appears to be the problem)
After the re-install everything appeared as a new computer. After signing in to my accounts, I went to "Finder" to open my username and music file to transfer my iTunes library over. My user name does not appear at all in the Finder sidebar. Have doing something wrong here.

You can customize your Finder sidebar to show whatever you want. Some of the defaults (including the home folder you're talking about) are available by going to Finder menu - Preferences - Sidebar. You can add others by dragging them from the right side of the Finder window into the sidebar.
