Some artists not showing up

Hello,
I have a problem where certain artists that are on my ipod don't appear in the artist category but when i go to a different category, like, album, the music is there. I checked the info settings in iTunes but everything looks fine on that end.

When you have artists who only appear on compilations these are normally omitted from the Artist menu on the iPod. However if you disable both of the following menu items on your iPod:
*Settings > Main Menu > Compilations*
*Settings > Music Menu > Compilations*
then they will appear. In iTunes the same change is made via:
*Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Group compilations when browsing*, turn off to reveal all artists in the browser.

Solution for some artists not showing under "Artists"

If you go to settings and turn compilations "off" all artists will show under artists listing. Assuming that title, artists, and album info is filled in.

You have to check off the box saying "part of compilation at the bottom of the get info tab on the song.

Some artists not showing up on list of artists on iPod

The albums show up and play OK, but when I look for the artist in the artist list they are not there.
Should I empty my iPod and reload everything onto it?

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, 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.

Some videos not showing up on AppleTV from iMac's iTunes library

Having a strange problem. Not sure if it is an iTunes problem or an AppleTV problem but I will try here first.
I have several videos in my library, some of which are digitized home videos I edited/rendered, others are AppleTV converted DVD's I own. For some reason, many of them are not showing up on my AppleTV when I go into "Computers" off the main menu and select my iMac with the iTunes library of them. Some show up, but more and more do not. They are all properly formatted and done so using Compressor settings for AppleTV. No idea why some are not showing up.
If you look on the iMac with the library on it, they all show up fine. And if I try and play the video on my iMac but tell it to use AirPlay to play the video on the AppleTV, it plays just fine on the TV/AppleTV. I do have Home Sharing turned on for ALL my media and I also use iTunes Match service.
When I try and use my iPad to access videos under the "shared" option and select my iMac's iTunes library, I get the same incomplete list. So I am thinking it's the iTunes library that's sending out an incomplete list for some reason. No idea why.
I have tried drag-and-dropping the videos into the iTunes library as well as using the "Add to library" menu command, neither makes a difference.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Also - i had a similar issue - lots of movies in itunes - not showing up as selectable on apple tv - i found that you have to go to "list" in itunes and select any movies i wanted to be selectable when i switched to the apple tv device - can someone please create a word for - "my software changes and somehow i'm an idiot for not knowing what magic the programmers are throwing down" - this too will change in the future - just need the happy customer service types to maintain a voice with the programmers and bottom line guys and gals.

My matched songs in iTunes on my computer show the artists, but some do not show up on my iPad or iPhone?

My matched songs in iTunes on my computer show all the artists, but most artists do not show up in Music on my iPad or iPhone? I recently fixed the song titles coming back from Match update changed to Track ** by going thru every song's info (command i) and typing in the song title manually (fortunately I had a hard copy of all my song titles and artists and only had about 160 songs to do) and that fixed the problem. Now, both the song titles and artists show in my iTunes, but NOT on my ipad and iphone Music (There are a few that show up). I tried to test my "re-typing artists" into info manually on a few, but it didn't work. I also tried adding "Single" or "None" to the albumn title, but no go. Any suggestions?

Artists not showing up right

Hello, I have many albums off of TV shows and movies. When i put these albums onto my ipod, the individual Artists do not show up in the artists section of my Ipod Touch. I have unselected the compilations section and realised that as i was putting these Albums onto my Ipod they would come under Various Artists and or Various in the Artists section.
I found out that the Various Artists and Various "titles" were coming from the Album Artist on each of these albums. So i deleted them both. E.G For my Superbad album which has multiple different artists i deleted the "Various Artists," from the album artists information of the songs and replaced it with Superbad. However when i now put these songs onto my ipod it shows the Artist as being "Superbad," instead of multiple different artists.
A long read but if anyone could help or it needs more explaining it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hm... Sorry to say, but I can't help you here. I dont know. If you bump your post once and a while, and keep it at the top, then someone who is extreamly experianced like Barbra Hall, I think thats her name, might see it, and could give you some help...
Sorry I couldnt help out though.

Artists not showing up in iPod unless it's connected to computer

My video iPod, whether synced or not with my Mac, refuses to show certain artists when it's not plugged into the computer.
For instance, if I put a Bob Dylan CD into iTunes, then update my iPod (either by having it synched or else by manually dragging it over), it will show up in the iPod when I look at the iPod contents on the computer, in iTunes, but when I unhook the iPod and go to Artists, suddenly there won't be a Bob Dylan (or a Dylan, Bob) at all. I can get to the music if I go to Album, but the iPod refuses to show me the artist, even though I know the music is there.
The Get Info has all the right information in the right categories, the iPod says it has all the artists on there when it's in iTunes, but when not actually plugged into the computer and viewed through iTunes, the iPod will refuse to show me certain artists, like they don't exist. Even though the music is there.
Why?
Thanks!

Two things might contribute to this especially since iTunes shows things a bit different than how the iPod will show it when not connected to iTunes...
One is that some songs might be tagged as Part Of A Compilation (see the Get Info on those songs/albums) in which case they will not show up under the artist.
Second, is that an artist needs at least two different Albums identified for their songs to all list under the artist. In other words, if you import a CD with album name then add a handful of misc songs without album names associated, those handful will not show up under the artist name.
But add an album name to at least one of those handful of misc. songs and then ALL of the songs should show up under the artist.
You don't have to do it for all of them, just enough to have two different albums identified with the artist. But in general, it is a good idea to make sure your tunes have Song name, artist name, and album name associated with them as a minimum.

Artists not showing in artist list of browser in iTunes 7.0

As many seem to be, I am having a couple of odd issues in iTunes 7.0 for my Mac. First is that I have noticed that some of the artists that I have in my library do not show up in the artist list in the file browser. In most cases when I look for them in the standard list view they are there but not in the "artist" browser window. The second issue I just noticed with one song. With almost 3k songs, I am not sure if there are others at the moment. But, there was a song that I knew I had imported from a CD a couple of weeks ago but I could not find it anywhere. So, thinking I was crazy or maybe deleted it, I re-imported it and once I did that, then the first one re-appeared where it should have been all along.
Please let me know if any of you have any thoughts on either issue!
Thanks,
Dave

Is it a song on a compilation CD you burned? That might be the case.
If it's an artist album, you probably need to make sure that Artist and Album Artist have the same information.
Song: Mercy
Album Artist: Duffy
Artist: Duffy
Would be an example.
Let me know!

Some artists dont show up on my list even tho they are on the ipod

When I go thru the menu and click on artists, there are about 10 artists that do not show up. I know that they are on the ipod, and if I go thru albums instead I can find the full album, but it just doesnt show up thru artists. There doesnt seem to be anything odd about the track, and they were uploaded from the cd. Does anyone know whats going on?!

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.

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. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder.

Songs are syncing to phone but some songs not showing in the playlist, you have to manually search for them...

Hi guys,
All music is syncing across from my purchased items to my phone... However, some are missing from the 'purchased' playlist and I can only come across them when scrolling through the 'Artist' or 'Song' menu. I then have to manually add them back to my purchased playlist.
Is there any way to stop this?
I want all my 'purchased' songs in that playlist and then have all of my other music from CDs in their individual ones (which works fine).
This happens for about 5/6 every time and it's a nightmare trying to work out which ones are missing so to speak unless I stumble upon then.
So basically, the songs ARE on the phone but not showing in the playlist, just to make that clear.
Many thanks in advance...

This sounds very similar to an issue that I experienced. There was a phantom 6G assigned to movies even when no movies were on my iPad. I could make the phantom 6G come and go by checking/unchecking the "Sync Movies" box in iTunes.
First, try a system reset. It probably won't fix your problem but it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
There is one other thing that you can try but I don't want to describe it unless the above doesn't help.

'Compilation' artists not showing up in 'Artists' menu

I have a movie soundtrack by various artists. In the 'compilations' menu, the soundtrack shows up under its title, then when I select it, a list of the songs shows up.
None of the artists on this compilation show up under the 'artists' menu.
When I connect my iPod to iTunes, then select my iPod in iTunes, all the artists on this compilation are there, listed alphabetically.
Why do they not show up on my iPod when it is not connected to iTunes? Anybody? Any ideas?
Thanks.
Windows XP 60gb 5th gen iPod

This isn't directly related but this is the only way i could get to ask a question! - I selected a few compilation albums in iTunes and checked the "part of a compilation" box. I then linked up my iPod (5G) and let iTunes update my iPod.
The problem i now have is the "Best of the 70's" kind of compilation albums are now nowhere to be found on my iPod. The "compilations" option was "On" but for some reason they've gone AWOL.
Any ideas?

Some images not showing on ipad when book is previewed

When I preview the book in progress, some images only appear in the thumbnails, not on the full page view. These same images were showing up a few versions ago. Other images are showing up just fine.

Hi KT and Anyone Else Who Could Help,
One thing I noticed is the images that are not showing up are all captioned, but with background shut off. I have a few image galleries as well, but those ARE showing up.
Some images are jpegs, others are pngs, but there is no pattern or correlation between image type and showing up, not showing up.
Besides, they all showed up previously.
So I removed the caption from one image and now it is showing up!
But I am nearly certain that in an earlier version WITH captions, they all showed, and I would like to keep the captions.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much!

Some fonts not showing up on Mac

I produced an e-book on typography for maps. It was produced on a PC and converted to pdf using the PowerPoint 2007 Save As PDF option. My customers who are on PCs have not had any trouble viewing all the fonts shown in the e-book exactly as they should be. However, two of my Mac customers (perhaps more, I do not know) are having black boxes show up where the letters should be. This only happens for certain fonts. For example, AUdimat (OpenType) is not showing up but Gentium Plus (OpenType) is. The fonts are embedded in the file. Any ideas? Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
It may even be that the fonts are showing up in regular mode (the customers have Acrobat Pro, I believe) but not when it prints or is in Preview or QuickLook. It is a mystery to me.

I originally thought it was a Mac versus PC issue but now (re: previous comment) it looks to be that the Save as PDF option did not save all the fonts. Some of the fonts saved were OpenType some of the fonts not saved were OpenType. So it doesn't appear to be an OpenType issue. If I were to purchase Acrobat Standard or Pro would I be able to embed all the fonts? Maybe it is because I am using PowerPoint 2007's Save as PDF that is the problem but I am just not sure. I tried signing up for Adobe CreatePDF but then found out that my file size is too big for that program (it's 12 mb whereas the file size limit for Create PDF is 10 mb). Thanks again for reading...

Error installing CS5 updates; Some updates not showing up.

When I select a photo in lightroom 5 and opt to edit it in photoshop, I get a notification that says "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.3 for full compatibility. Pleas update the Camera Raw plug-in using the update tool available in the Photoshop help menu."
Upon entering photoshop and opening the update tool, there are two updates, but neither for the Camera Raw plug-in. I went ahead and tried to update those anyway, and at the end, I got two error messages reading "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later." and "Installation failed." The updates were for Adobe Extension Manager CS5 5.0 and Adobe Device Central CS5.0.1, respectively.
My question has two parts. First, how can I work around these error messages and successfully install the updates, and second, why is the Camera Raw plug-in update not showing up? Thanks in advance!
Below are screenshots of the Lightroom message and the update error messages.

What updates should have been available, and
Why were they not available at that time?
Lets examine the case of the backup that has been on the shelf a while.
I really would like to help, but this post does not really answer my two questions. If you want to troubleshoot this scenario, we're going to need some HARD information to work with.
WSUS reported (updates needed report) that there were 90+ updates available and approved for that machine
The computer reporded that there were no updates available.
My first eyebrow-raising moment here is the idea that a computer has 90+ updates
approved and available (and, ostensibly, cannot find any of them to be downloaded), and my very first question in response to raising that eyebrow is this: And all 90+ of those updates are NOT SUPERSEDED??? To which my second question would be: When
was the last time that machine had patches installed?
I took a look at another computer in the same OU and computer update group with the same initial install image and I see 12 updates available, all not yet approved for that group.
If the updates are Not Approved, then those updates are also Not Available.
I'll also point out here that the best way to approach this scenario is to believe what you see and investigate the reason why, rather than questioning the veracity of what's displayed in the console or the logs.
If the client says there are no updates available for installation, then that's the bottom line, and the proper response is to identify an update that
should be available for installation and determine why it's not being downloaded/installed.
