Some songs not showing up in certian iPod areas

For example, I have a few songs by the Foo Fighters, but if i go under Music>Artist>Foo Fighters>All, only one song shows up. But if i go under Music>Songs Then the songs show up. I have noticed this in several different cases and my friend, who also has the same iPod as me, has had the same problem.

I noticed that too, but there's one other stipulation.
When an ARTIST is selected and there are songs with nothing in the *ID3 ALBUM* field in addition to songs in...
... ONLY ONE ALBUM, the iPod will skip the ALBUM selection screen and bring you directly to ONLY the SONGS in that album.
-but-
...MORE THAN ONE ALBUM, you'll be able to find those songs under the ALL option in the ALBUM menu.
Hey, Apple. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS BUG IN THE NEXT IPOD UPDATE. It's annoying enough to have to fix the ID3 tags on 10,000 songs, but to have to delete the album info on songs transferred to the iPod in iTunes is frustrating!

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.

Songs not showing up in iPod. Please help!

Okay, today I noticed that there are select songs not showing up on my iPod touch.
I make playlists for all my music...and some songs will be in the playlists, and some aren't.
So when I search for the songs with artists or song name, it's actually ON my iPod and I can play it. Just not in the playlist I put it in.
So I check on iTunes to make sure they are in the playlist, and they are. And playable.
So why aren't some of the songs selectable in the playlists? They are on the iPod, but just not in the playlists. PLEASE HELP

Anyone?

Songs not showing up in iPod...

Hello, I was hoping I could get some help here.
I dowlnoaded 3 new songs to itunes (from a folder on my computer; I used File>Add Folder to Library) but for some reason they do not show up on my ipod. The songs are in mp3 format, so I do not think I need to convert them. Usually, syncing the ipod in itunes helps, but the little bar that is supposed to show up on top when your ipod is syncing...doesn't.
Any help is greatly appreciated

bywybabs,
I don't know what kind of computer you have. If you have a Window's PC it's possible it added the files to your folder "Music" "iTunes" "iTunes Music". If you are able to view the files in your "Music Folder" and they are not in your iTunes Library when you open iTunes. Then find the songs in your "Music" folder and double left click on each song. It should automatically import them into iTunes. I'm not sure why add folder to library did not work.

Songs are not showing up on my ipod, even though...

So I have a playlist on my ipod with 35 podcasts in it. I manually loaded the podcasts. When I connect to my computer I can see the songs on the ipod and play them on my computer. However, when I turn on my ipod and go to that playlist it is empty. I cannot find the podcasts anywhere (viewing by song or artist does not show them). The files are MP3 and I have the latest iOS. Any help?

In the Event mode use the View ➙ Sort ➙ By Date ➙ Decending menu option. Then the latest imports will be near the top of the Event window (depending on when the photos were taken of course).
Or Control-Click on one of the thumbnails in the Last Import album and select Show Event from the contextual menu:

My Itunes library is skipping some songs which is also affecting my ipod, it is always the same songs that skip at the same place, it is not all songs.

Since moving my Itunes to a Vista, it found songs that I downloaded a long time ago and added them to my library but now some songs (not just the ones that were lost in apple land) are skipping after playing a few seconds then it moves onto another song. The same songs are skipping at the same place when played on a computer and also my ipod.

i noticed this as a bug in iTunes. make sure the correct file is selected in the preferences menus. It does not have to be the default location directiory as Vazandrew stated. your iTunes music library can be anywhere you want it. i have mine on an external cuz i'm a dj and have over 80,000 songs.
once you select/verify the location of your music library, simply drag the folder into the left panel in iTunes from a finder window. iTunes does not automatically add the items like it use to for some reason.

HT3702 So, I accidentally downloaded NIN Deep video by mistake. I thought, I was downloading the song. Nothing even showed up on my ipod. I would like a refund, as there's neither the song, not the video on my ipod.

Why do Play lists in my computer not show up in my ipod?

Play lists in my computer do not show up in my ipod. I also get the message that my ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application.
I have two computers and two ipods but only one itunes account.
It worked fine before but recently I noticed that my playlists (in my computer) don't show up in my ipod.
How can I fix this?

Yeah, if you move song files around outside of iTunes, it doesn't know where they are.
And iTunes doesn't have a "watch folder" feature like some other jukebox players, where it automatically sees new songs in the iTunes folder.
You have to open iTunes, drag the files over tot he library from Win Explorer. This way it adds an entry to the itl library file...which is an index of where the songs actually are.
What are the iTunes library files?

I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable fix

My ipod and itunes both are skipping to another song about in the middle of the song. It doesn't happen on all songs...only some songs. I have reset the ipod, I have done a restore, I have reloaded itunes, I have updated the ipod but still am unable to figure out why. It did not used to do this. I can't figure out any pattern to the songs it does it on versus that it doesn't do it on. Some of the songs are purchased, some are imported, etc. We are running Windows 7.

how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next would be to unsync the music and then try syncing the songs to the iPod
- Last would be to restore from backup.

Why are my songs not showing up?

I have turned on itunes match on all my devices. However, songs that are on my PC and Macbook are not showing up on my ipod Touch, ipad, or ipad mini. Any ideas? For example, on both the PC and Macbook, I have 65 songs from one artist, but on the mobile devices, they are only showing 13 of them.

Greyed out songs can mean a few things, though usually items that havne't fully synced yet.
Can you make sure you have iTM turned ON with your Touch? And missing elements often means the user has forgot to enable "Show All" under the "On" switch.
