HT1947 Why can't I see all songs for an artist when using iPad remote for home sharing music through apple tv.

Why can't I see all my songs for an artist when I search by artist using iPad remote? I'm listening to music via home sharing through apple tv using iPad 2 as my remote. All my songs seem to be listed fine under "songs", but when I select "artist" many of the songs I have for that artist are not there, any idea why that is or how I can fix this.....I suspect it's because many songs may not be associated with an album and it seems only songs in albums are displayed when I search by artist.

Thanks Ferretbite, but that's not the issue in my case, the songs are not part of a compilation. I just checked several of them and the "Part of a compilation" box is unchecked.....it seems as if the song does not have an album associated with it, it will not display under the artist when I search by artist on the iPad remote which REALLY stinks.
Hope someone else might have a solution.

  • Why can't I see all servers on my network with Lion?

    Why can't I see all servers on my network with Lion, but I can with Snow Leopard? Am I missing a setting somewhere? This is really frustrating and I'll have to go back to snow leopard if it can't be fixed. I can see other macs fine, but network servers and PC servers are missing. Sometimes they do appear in 'Shared All' and I can connect OK, but then they disappear again. Is this a bug with Lion, or am I missing something really simple? I can't work properly at the moment, so Lion has been a disaster for me. Any help really appreciated. Thanks

  • Why can't I see all the texts in a group text?

    Why can't I see all the texts in a group text? I see some of the conversation, but not all.

    In all honesty, iOS doesn't do group messaging very well. If people have non-iPhones, you may not see their replies, they may get gibberish. If you do a lot of group messaging with the same people, it might be worth switching to a dedicatated app such as GroupMe.
    Best of luck.

    Not all film studios have so far agreed to make their films available for re-download, so their films won't show - also if a film is no longer available in the store then it won't appear

    Why can't I see some pictures in my library when trying to export?

    Honestly, it's a bit hard to say.  No need to be quite so stingy with information.
    As a conundrum, I'd guess that some of your images have off-line Masters.  Aperture cannot export images with off-line Masters.

  • Why can't I see all of my backups on Time Capsule?

    My Time Capsule is full, and I'm trying to do some maintenance.
    I have an old backup on there from an old computer, but I can't see it when I use finder.  Very old Macs can see the sparse bundles when I browse over, but new Macs only see backups for themselves.
    1) How can I see all of the backup bundles on a newer Mac?
    2) How can I safely delete backup bundles I no longer need?
    Finally, when I activate Time Machine I only see backups on my machine going back 1 month.  But when I browse over to the Time Capsule I see backups going back to 2011.  I suspect this problem is due to a migration I did back in April, or else an OS ugrade.
    3) Why can't I see my backups before September 2013? 
      3a) Is there something I can use to get access to those backups?
       3b) if not, how can I safely delete the unusable backups?

    There is a whole series of issues..
    Look at Q5 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    Look at Q12 and 17 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    It is common when the disk is full for TM to delete the old backups for your computer.. it cannot delete other backups for other computers.
    This is done without warning now.
    For older backup they can get very tricky.. See B3 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    A gen1 TC if that is what you are still using is liable to die at any moment. I recommend you archive off all the backups now.. simply plug in a USB drive the same size as the internal disk and select archive in airport utility.. it will take several hours to copy the whole disk.. and you cannot do backups in the meantime. Then erase the TC and start with clean fresh backups.. maybe also to a USB drive so when the TC dies you can just move it.

  • How can I play all songs from an artist in the ipad 2, with the new IOS 5?

    in the music app (which was named ipod before the update for the IOS 5) I want to play all songs for a certain artist that have different albums, but I dont know how.
    hope someone can help me

    Actually, JinKL, doing a search from "Songs" is harder to do and does not give the exact same result. It's harder to do because I have to key an artist's name rather than pick one from a list. The results aren't the same for several reasons. If you key an artist name that matches a song, you get that song, too. OK, that doesn't happen THAT much, but it does happen. And if I key a partial name, say "Morrison" for "Van Morrison", I get all the songs on "Morrison Hotel" by the Doors.
    "All Songs" should be added to the iPad music player. While they're at it, they should add column titles and allow allow sorting on the column values.

  • Why can you not buy all songs as a ring tone but can buy the whole song? I have an app to get them but don't know how to get them to tones !

    Why cant I buy a single song for a ring tone but can buy the whole song? I have two that I got with an ap on my phone but it was transferred to my e mail and i don't know how to get it on my phone as a ring tone !

    Because not all songs are licensed (by the label) to be used as a ringtone.

  • Why can't I see all my "Sent" messages in webmail?

    I've gone to My Settings/Mail/Save Sent Messages numerous times and have selected the radio button "save".  Yet, when I go to look at my sent mail in webmail I can only see some of the sent messages.  I think it may be the ones sent via webmail and does not include messages sent from my verizon email account hard-wired at home (DSL).  I'm using Windows Mail on a Vista computer.
    How can I configure my account to see ALL sent messages when using webmail?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Any mail you send from a pop3 client will not appear in your webmail Sent folder. If you want all of your sent messages to appear in webmail, then you have to send all of your messages from webmail.

  • Why can't I see all of my contacts in iCloud?

    Cant see all of my contacts in iCloud that are on my iPhone.  Why?  Is there a way to select which contact are synched...whether from iCloud to iPhone and visa versa?  Thanks

    It's likely because not all of your contacts belong to the iCloud account.  Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section).  Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what accounts are listed and what is set as your default?

    When I use iCal on my computer, I can see all events posted to the calander. However, when I access the calander on my I touch I can only see events posted under each catagory (personal, user name, etc.). How can I view all events posted my computer's iCal without having to check the individual calanders on iTouch?

  • Why can't i see all the tabs in itunes store??

    Hello. I am from Romania and I recently got an ipod nano 5th gen so i am very new at this.At first i used it on a different computer and everything was fine, then when i got home to my computer i noticed that i can't find the music,movies,podcast etc tabs in the iTunes store.It's really frustrating.I uninstalled the iTunes and installed it again but there was no change.I can only see "application store" and "itunes u".I can't find music,podcasts or anything else besides aplications and games.If i click on "home" it shows me the same thing.If I go on the Library section and click on Podacats,I can choose to click "Browse podcasts in the iTunes store".I click that and it shows me the exact same thing.By searching directly it's the same.What is wrong here? Please help. Thanks a lot

    really??
    Yes, really, I'm sorry to say.
    is there anything i can do about it??maybe create another account?
    Sorry, but there is nothing you can do about it. There's no place where you could create "another account" that would give you any greater access to media. The content owners do not allow cross-border sales, so you cannot open an account in another country's iTunes Store. So until such time as Apple is able to obtain the necessary licensing and decides that it's practical to open an iTunes Store on your country, I'm afraid that you will not be able to purchase music, videos, or movies from an iTunes Store.
    There is only one possibility for you: if what you're looking for are only podcasts, you may be able to find the podcast you want directly from a web site. Apple doesn't host the podcasts, they only link to them, so the podcast you want may be available from another source. You'll have to do a web search and see if the podcast turns up.

  • Why can't I import all songs? The computer is authorized but the error message says that it isn't to play some songs...HELP!

    I have turned on Home Sharing and Imported most of the orginal library but certain songs won't import. The Itunes tell me that the computer isn't authorized but when I log in it says that it is already authorized. This is very frustrating, please help.

    You need to select what you want to import first.
