Songs not appearing under artists

Hi,
I'm going to try and explain this the best way I can,
On my Ipod (30GB), some songs do not appear under the artist.
Example:
I have two songs by Christina Aguilera, A is from the album "Stripped" and the other one (B) I haven't listed any album name (therefore it is Blank). So on my ipod when I go into:
[ Music -> Artist -> Christina Aguilera -> All ]
only song A is shown.
But if I go into [Music -> Songs ] I can find A and B...
So you see my problem,
If you have any idea, please answer,
Regards,

"the other one (B) I haven't listed any album name (therefore it is Blank)."
There is the problem.
See: Some songs don't don't show under artist on my iPod.
From what I understand, once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.

I need help! My song doesnt appear under artists...

Ok so, heres my problem: A song I have on my iPod that does not appear under Artists, it only appears under songs. I checked the spelling and punctuation and eveything is fine... I cant figure out whats wrong.
help?

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.
If 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 but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title
Also 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. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder.

All songs not showing under artists name - even though spelling is the same

I have 8 songs by a particular artist. Only one shows under "artist". I have checked 5 times - spelling-everything is the same for the artist. All of the songs can be found under "songs". I have checked spellings over & over. What could be my problem?

If you are using iTunes 8 and view 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.

Songs not listed under artist name.

As an example, I have 3 Journey songs on my Ipod. However, only one shows up under the artist heading "Journey". The other two are available under the songs list, but I want them grouped correctly. I deleted them off my Ipod and added them again. The artist name is spelled correctly, there is no other solution I can see...any suggestions???

I have the same problem with my I Pod nano (1st generation).
It appeared after an software update delivered by apple - now version 1.3.1.
The problem is only there, when you have typed in an album name for one song but not for the other songs. Then he just shows the songs, where the album name is available.
For Example:
Artist - Album - Title
Journey - Escape - Stone in love
Journey - - Anytime
If you click on Music - Artists - Journey. He directly shows you the contend of the album escape. You can't access to the song "Anytime" - because there you don't have an Album information.
That's a bug in the new software version. It was not in the previous software version.
Hope Apple will solve this in the next software update.

Songs not listed by artist

Hi
I have synced my entire music collection, most of which consists of mp3s ripped from my CD library, onto my 2 week old ipod 30gb with video. I noticed a few days ago that some of the songs from one album weren't listed under the 'by artist' section. It now seems that there are a fair number of songs that are also missing from under their respective artist on the ipod.
The strange part of it is that I know the songs are on the ipod — I can get them to play by making a playlist in itunes and transferring that over. The ipod also reads the correct artist and title tags for the song once it's in the playlist.
I'd much appreciate it if anyone can help me get the songs to appear under the artist list as this is my prefered way of finding my songs.
Thanks
Greg

IPod Touch 5th Gen: Music not listed under artists nor albums, only in Songs

I just purchased a new iPod Touch 5 Generation, I have lots of albums on my PC, tried to copy them to iTunes, works perfectly and existing in iTunes, when checked the iPod Touch 5th Generation, the songs appear under Songs But nothing under Artists nor Albums!
All my Albums are with well maintained id-tags.
I checked the compilation, It's already un-tick.
Please help...

Nothing shows in the artists or albums columns at all, or specific songs don't show up in the corresponding artist or album listings?
Standard things to try would be a reset, then a restore (although with a new machine that ought not to be necessary).
I'm leaning towards the possibility of multiple tags. iTunes is much happier when files have a single ID3v2.3 tag. Where multiple tags exist there is the possibility that iTunes and iOS might process different tags. Select the tracks of a test album, uncheck the tracks and sync to remove from the device. Select again, right click and use Convert ID3 Tags... > None and click OK. Repeat the process two or three times just to be sure. Then use Convert ID3 Tags... > v2.3. You will need to refetch/reembed any artwork. Check the tracks again and sync. Any better now?

Song not shown in artists section

I have an IPod Touch 5th Gen with IOS 6, which I bought recently. It was synced to my ITunes using IMatch. So all my songs in ITunes are now in my IPod Touch.
I downloaded a song yesterday (but it was not downloaded from ITunes). I looked up the artist in my IPod Touch, by clicking on "music" on the desktop and then clicking on "artists". I checked for all the artist's songs, The artists songs were listed except for the song I downloaded yesterday. It was not shown. I checked under "artists" for all the artists songs, and also for songs in each album listed for that artist, but the song was not there.
Then I looked for the song under "songs" in my IPod Touch, and the song was there. (Click on music on the desktop, then "songs"). It showed the name of the song and the artist.
I also looked under the appropriate playlist and the song was there too. It showed the name of the song and the artist. It was associated together with the artist's other songs in the playlist, as it should be.
So the song I downloaded yesterday, correctly listing the artist, shows up both in the playlist and under "songs", but the song does not show under "artists". Why? Very few of my songs were downloaded from Apple ITunes, so that is not the problem. This is the only song I had this problem with.

If the only songs by The Doors that you have, are on compilation albums, that's why the artist isn't showing up in the Artists menu. (If you then add an album by The Doors, they would show up.)
However, all is not lost. On your iPod, go into the Settings/Main Menu and un-tick the Compilations. Do the same in Settings/Music Menu. All artists should now appear in the Artist list, subject to...
My habit is to make sure that albums by various artists (proper compilation albums) have "Various Artists" typed into each track in the field Album Artist. (Select the complete album, then use File/Get Info/Info>Album Artist. Make sure it is the Album Artist, not Artist. Also look on File/Get Info/Options>Part of a Compilation and set that to "Yes".
For "greatest hits of <artist x>" albums, I check them to make sure they do not have Part of a Compilation ticked, because they are not proper compilation albums. iTunes doesn't think they are either!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can't doing anything abouty this, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the 1st generation.

How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the first generation ipad.

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

Not appearing under devices

When I connect my iPod Classic, it does not appear under devices. I do have it on my iMac desktop, so I think the USB is working properly. The iPod also will connect to my PC with no problem; I synced yesterday evening. I have the latest iTunes on both computers.
Any ideas?

See here: iPod does not appear in iTunes or iPod updater in Mac OS X
And here as well if necessary: iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop
Did it ever show up previously? If so, what has changed then? Have you recently installed any third party software/plug-ins/etc.?

"Assign access control" not appearing under Essbase in shared services

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone point out the reason behind this? This is leading to all sorts of problems. Configuration is as follows:
App Server: Foundation, EAS, Planning, Reporting, Web Analysis, Workspace on Tomcat
DB Server: Essbase and SQL Server
Essbase is on Shared Services mode.
This is actually very urgent. Would be grateful for any help.
Thanks,

Software updates do not appear under Updates

Software updates do not appear under Updates in the Mac App Store. So far, I have not been able to select or install the newest Yosemite update (10.10.1) and the latest iTune update. What could be the problem? Third party software shows and will update, like Evernote, but Apple branded updates do not appear.

Hello JAKE3POINT0,
After reviewing your post, I have located the page which includes the download of the 10.10.1 update. Applying the update may address the issue you are experiencing:
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 Update
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

Hello popsicles,
This first article should be helpful in getting iTunes to recognize your iPad once more:

If the device is still disabled once it's appeared in iTunes again, please reference this second article:

The option "Build-in Output" does not appear under my Sound preferences

The sound stopped coming out of my built in speakers. The sound does come through headphonse. The option "Built-in Output" does not appear under my Sound preferences. How can I restore the Built-in Output option under my Sound preferences. Currently the only option that displays is "Digital Out".

Please stop sticking things in your audio ports. you can very easily damage the switch. There is a simple procedure that usually will switch your mac back to internal speakers.
1. open the Audio MID setup app in your utilities folder.
2. Select 'built in output'
3. try the 'source' pull down menu. probably it will read 'digital out' with no other options.
4. control click the 'built in output' option on the left and select 'configure speakers' from the pull down menu.
5. a drop down window will open. Make sure 'Stereo' is selected and click 'done'
6. The Source pulldown menu should now read 'internal speakers'
7. Close the Audio MIDI setup app and get back to work
