Ipad Music Not Distinguishing Genres

Hello. I have an Ipad Mini and have two different genres of music (Piano and Instrumental). When I open Music->Genres and select either Piano or Instrumental, I then select the Artist associated with that genre, finally it shows all albums that have both genres.
I want to know how I can select Genre->Artist and find only albums that are associated with that particular genre.

*Fixed*
I changed all the songs in Itunes music library to make sure they ALL had an artist name and not just 'Unknown Artist' then I re-synced all the songs to Ipad. I don't know why this worked.
BUT WHATEVER.
Also, when I synced to Ipad I checked all the Genres/Artists/Albums, but not the Playlists (I did this before, but again, whatever)
Probably could have just checked Entire Music Library.
I Don't Know.

    You can only transfer purchases from iTunes on the iPad into iTunes on your computer. If you bought the music from another source, you need to use the source app to transfer the music, or you need a third party app to transfer the music.

  • IPad music not showing artist

    New iPad 4, with match set up, only displays 5 artists and a small number of albums, yet shows all of my songs... Anyone know what I'm missing here?

    The iPad is not designed for folder structures like a computer. I sync individual playlists to my iPad.

  • IPad - music not appearing under album or artist tab

    I have just purchased a new iPad. I can access the videos and music on my computer on iTunes via home sharing. However regarding music, tracks only appear under the songs tab. Nothing under album or artists. 3000+ albums and nothing, yet all the songs accessible under the songs tab. I am running ios6 on the iPad and iTunes 10.7 on the pc. I have seen a couple of posts with the same issue but with no conclusive solution. Can anyone help?

    I have done nothing different, all of a sudden some of my albums and artists are appearing, not all just some. Can anyone help?

  • Ipad music not syncing

    I wanted to give you all a heads up....
    I purchases a new iPad mini.  At the store the Apple Rep had it sync to my iPhone.  All was fine until I noticed that there was not any music on the iPad.  At home I synced the iPad to my computer to get the music moved over.  The music would not appear on the iPad.
    After several hours on the phone with 2 different support reps, I finally decided to make a genius bar appointment and visit the nearest Apple Store.  The reps on the phone were very helpful and had done everything possible to make the music move ovet to the iPad, but it would not work.
    At the genius bar, it was amazing.  I described the problem and the Rep said "I believe you, this just happened before my eyes a few hours ago". 
    The fix is to reset the iPad as a new device.  Do not sync it to an iCloud backup or any other backup.  Set it up as a new iPad and then connect to your computer to sync as new.
    It worked perfectly.
    This has (I hope) been reported to Apple as a bug or a work around for others that this happens to. The Reps in the stores have different experiences than the reps on the phone.  Apple has been fantastic with their customer service.

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I have checked one playlist.
    I have tried I checking the box but it didn't make any difference.
    It is obviously trying to sync them because the correct lists appears to go across but then never arrived. It is greyed out under when the playlist is listed under the device in itunes and there's nothing on the iPad.

  • (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

    (ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly.   Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
    I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
    I don't sync  music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
    I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
    I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
    I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
    Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
    When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
    Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them.  Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view.  I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again. 
    These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes.  My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues. 
    Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

    Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

  • My ipad is not showing all my music or videos

    Looking for help with my iPad 2.  I have iTunes 11.1.5.5 on my Sony Vaio VPCSA laptop running Windows 7.  When I connect my iPad 2 and open iTunes, I can select my iPad from the menu column on the left and see 8 movies, all my music, and play lists.  While traveling recently, I went to watch a movie on my iPad and there are no videos and only a fraction of my songs and 1 play list.  When I got back I payed a little closer attention to the sync and noticed 1) on the content bar (audio/video/apps) there is a sizable selection identified as other.  2) when it gets to the last step in the sync process it has a message that says "waiting for selections to be applied" and then times out.  I tried syncing and hitting the apply button during this last step and still no movies/music are transferred to the iPad.
    I'm wondering that when I bought this laptop and transferred my music over from my old laptop, I somehow didn't have a correct setting and its not syncing properly with my iPad.  Not sure if I should hard reset my iPad 2 and reload everything.  And if anyone recommends this, should I not use the back up feature?  All my music, videos and apps are on my iTunes client and my iPhone 5s seems to be syncing up without any problems.
    Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • I have PC with Windows 7 and iPad. My music in iTunes on PC is available under Music on iPad but having trouble moving music to i-Cloud. I suceed in moving the music to iCloud on PC but when I look at iPad music still on device and not in iCloud. Help?

    I am a beginner using Apple software, so please bare with me.
    I am having trouble moving music from the iPad to iCloud in order to save space in the device.
    I realise that in order to store music not purchased on iTunes store can only be stored in iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match which I have done.
    Appears that moving music from iTunes on my PC to iCloud is successful by deleting song or album in iTunes library and than click on "Keep song" instead of sending to recycle bin. After this has been done the Cloud Icon appears on the album or against the song. However when I then look at Music on the iPad the album or song have not been moved to iCloud. I have tried syncronising with cable connected between PC and iPad. After that has been done the message is that sync was successful bujt still music has not been moved into the Cloud.
    Can anybody help? What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to move the music to the cloud working on the iPad only (without trying to use the PC to move the music to the cloud)?

    You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device.  If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match. 
    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

  • HT1473 How can I transfer my music (not purchased from Itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes library on a Macbook Pro?

    I've recently bought a new Macbook Pro and in my Itunes Library everything I have purchased from Itunes is in my new Itunes Library.
    However I want to transfer all my music (not purchased from itunes) from my Ipad/Iphone to my new Itunes Library.... and I have absoutely no idea how to do this? Also I'm scared to press sync when my ipad is plugged into my Mac incase will loose all this music!
    Help Please!

    The iphone/ipad/ipod is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone/ipad/ipod.
    Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

  • How can I get music (not purchased from iTunes) and photos from my iPad onto my MacBook?

    I just recently had my hard drive replaced and lost all of my music and photos from it. I have all of my music and photos backed up onto my iPad and iPhone via iCloud.
    I was able to download all of my purchased music from iTunes, back onto my MacBook. The problem is, how do I get the other music and photos from my iPad, back onto my MacBook?

    Is there any possible way to backup music that I did not purchase from iTunes on to iCloud?
    No.
    ... if I happened to break my iPad, or if something happened to my Laptop.
    If you like your music library, back up your laptop.
    If you lose or break your iPad, you can sync your iTunes music library to a brand new one. You will lose nothing.
    If you lose your laptop, or it crashes, or becomes virus-infested, you can restore your iTunes music library from your backup. You will lose nothing. Without a backup though, your music resides only on the iPad, and extracting it will require the assistance of third party (paid) utilities. Worse, there is no guarantee they will continue to function after some future iOS upgrade, since the iPad is not designed to work that way.
    There are dozens of questions every day from people who lost their iTunes music when their laptop crashed. Your laptop will crash - it's only a question of when.

  • Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

    I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

    It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

    Does it even really matter...?
    Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
    Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

  • When I try to sync to my ipad, tons of my music doesn't download.  The error message tells me that my ipad is not authorized, but when I try to authorize it, it tells me it's already authorized.... what now?

    I want to sync music to my ipad, but it tells me it can't because ipad is not authorized.  when I go to authorize it, it tells me it's already authorized.  I'm confused.

    You use the iTunes app, but you authorize a computer to use items acquired from Apple with a specific iTunes account. Then any iOS devices that sync to that computer are also automatically authorized to use the items acquired from Apple when they are synced to the device.
    If you are mixing stuff from various usuers individual iTunes accounts it can get a bit confusing. For example if you have apps from thre different users accounts, the apps can only be updated if that user signs into their iTunes account either on the specfic computer or the individual iOS devices.

  • I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar

    I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar and syncing not happening. I have tried resetting ipad and restarting etc but still no joy. Anyone had a similar experience?

    Take it to the Apple Store for evaluation.
    Try this.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.

  • How to remove from iPad music files that do not appear in iTunes?

    A 'phantom' music Album files appears on my iPad, in the Albums view of the Music menu.  The album cannot be played and the three tracks on it appear greyed out when it is selected.  It is not present in my iTunes library on my PC.  Is there anyway that this file can be deleted or at least removed from the Music/Albums view?
    Similarly, I downloaded a free track from iTunes directly to my iPad.  This now shows on both my iPad and iTunes on my PC.  However, I do not wish to keep the track on my iPad.  Removing it from the playlist that sync's to the iPad does not remove it from the iPad.  Is there a way to resolve this additional issue?
    iPad is an iPad 2 with iOS 5.0.1.  iTunes is version 10.5.2.11 on a Windows 7 laptop PC.
    Thanks, any suggestions welcome.

    If you try syncing with iTunes again, perhaps the phantom album will be erased since it does not exist on the computer.
    Have you tried restarting or maybe resetting the iPad to see if the album will disappear?
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
