Album and artist showing in itunes, but not in manual sync

I have a 8 gig ipod touch and my library is larger so I have to select to manually add artists on my ipod. The problem is the artist I want isn't appearing in the artist section in sync. the artist is in itunes library but will not appear and doesn't come up in the search bar.
Can anybody please help me fix this issue, I need to listen to some Sublime.

perhaps what turingtest2 suggested in another thread helps:
To display all artists in the Artists menu on your iPod, even those who only appear on compilations, remove the ticks against both of the iPod Compilation menu items, i.e.
Settings > Main Menu > Music > Compilations
Settings > Music Menu > Compilations
Cover flow should remain the same, with all compilations albums listed at the right-hand end.
To display all artists in the Artists browser column in iTunes turn off the preference to Group compilations when browsing. Provided you have set the Album Artist field the albums should remain grouped together.

  • Album art is showing in itunes but not on my ipod

    I have a new 60GB ipod video and am having a problem with album artwork. It shows in all the right windows in itunes but not on the ipod itself.
    The problem is affecting random songs (singles and odd album tracks) and is not as a result of any software updates.
    I have tried unchecking and rechecking the 'display album art' option in preferences, deleting and reinserting the covers and even deleting and reimporting the affected songs from scratch. So far nothing has worked and I don't know what else to do!
    Any suggestions?
    Apple iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   ipod 60GB with video

    Thanks but still no luck I'm afraid.
    To update: I have been using itunes 6 from the outset and have always manually updated the ipod - it has never even been switched to automatic as I changed this at the start (advice from a friend). File formats for the affected tracks are all either AIFF or Apple Lossless - same as all the unaffected tracks.
    The even stranger thing is that artwork for some albums, where all the tracks were imported manually at the same time, shows for some tracks on the ipod and not others. The artwork does, however, show for all of the tracks on the ipod when viewed through itunes!

    When you connect the iPod the summary screen should automatically open.
    If you click on the 'music' tab, you will see the options to:
    "display album artwork on your iPod". Make sure that is enabled.

    Your feed is at http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/GPKwx
    The latest episode in it is 23 July: the later episodes haven't made it into the feed so either the connection to Feedburner has failed or there is something about the recent episodes which is causing them not to make it into the feed. It's not obvious from looking at the web page what this might be.

    I have successfully sync'd my macbook and new ipad via itunes, but how do I sync the calendar, please ? I do not have icloud yet.

    You can select the calendar to sync in the Info Tab in the iTunes window on the right, when your iPad is connected to the Mac , while iTunes is running and after you select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading.

    That is correct. If it is an iPod Classic 5th generation it doesn't connect to the Internet it can't download anything.

  • HT4059 why can you browse, and buys books from itunes but not read them on my iMac?  Pretty lame I think. my kindle show up across all my computers, iPhones and Android devices no problem.

    just wondering why you can browse, buy on itunes but not read on an imac. My kindle apps work on the imac, ipod, asus netbook, iphone and android devices.  Why not ibooks on imac?

    "just wondering why you can browse, buy on itunes but not read on an imac. "
    Because Apple does not make an ibook reader for computers.

  • Albums not showing on iTunes but are on fully synced iPhone

    Something I've noticed as I've been putting together a playlist, I have some albums which aren't showing in my iTunes. The albums were transferred from a hard drive not purchased from the iTunes Store. They are in Music>iTunes>iTunes Media>Music so the location I believe is correct but when you go into the the album title the folder there are no song files.
    At first I thought perhaps they had been deleted so went to re-burn the discs but noticed something strange..the albums are on my iPhone which has only ever been synced to my Macbook and is set to sync All Music.
    I'm a bit lost as to how this may have happened, if they weren't on my phone I'd assume it was a conflict of file types, perhaps the culprit albums are in .wma format but they play and show with artwork on the iPhone.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    (Macbook Pro Yosemite running iTunes 12 with iPhone 6 - all updated to current versions.)

    If not the U2 album then
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • Every time I try and delete an album from my ipod using itunes but doing so manually as was suggested, it is also deleted from the itunes library that i have set up.  How do I just delete albums from my ipod and not loose them from my pc itunes library?

    I have an extensive itunes library on my pc.  I want to delete albums from my ipod but still keep them in my itunes library.  Everytime I try to delete by right clicking on the album and choosing delete, I also loose the album from itunes.  I have just gotten an old iphone and put just classical and jazz on the iphone and want to delete those albums from my ipod but alas I will be loosing them from the iphone as well as soon as I sync with itunes in the future.  I put settings into manual manage music but still the albums go off itunes.  Any suggestions?

    I'm thinking you sync to your computer over Wi-Fi, if correct, switch to sync when connected to iTunes, turn off sync over Wi-Fi. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

  • Album artwork shows in iTunes but not on ipod

    Hello all, I have a 30g video ipod and am having trouble getting the album artwork to show up. In itunes I have clicked the show or hide album art button and when I click ipod in the source list and play the song I have loaded the album art onto I can see it in the bottom left. I have also clicked the options button and the display album art box is checked. The artwork still doesnt show on my ipod.
    Is there something else I need to do to get it to work?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Yes, it is safe. You're simply putting your iPod back to its original state as it was when new. To do this, you should have an 'iPod Software Updater' folder somewhere either in your Control Panel or simply on Drive C. I'm on a Mac and its in my applications folder.
    Anyhow, when you find the folder, just open it up and you'll see your iPod update files. Choose the most recent one and double click. It will then give you the option to "restore" your iPod to its original state. Once you do this, your iPod will be completely erased and you can start from scratch.
    I'm glad you got your images to appear once again. You can use the info above for future reference in case you need it.

  • Bought album and it downloaded in iTunes but it only plays partial of first song and then skips to next song in album, help?

    Well I bought the Bring Me The Horizon album There Is A **** Believe Me I've Seen It, There Is A Heaven Let's Keep It A Secret on my iPhone and it synced to iTunes on my laptop. The entire album was downloading however when the first song was starting download it displayed an error message and I quickly pressed okay and disregarded it. The rest of the album resumed download and completed. I then went up to the download button next to the search input in the upper right hand corner and finished download for the rest of the song. When I went to listen to the album I was in a minute into the first song, "Crucify Me," and it skipped to the second song in the album, "It Never Ends." I tried playing it over and opening and re-opening iTunes but it still persists to skip the first song a minute in... so it appears to be a partial download. I mean, I have the album downloaded on my iPhone (this was the original site of purchase and download) but currently I am not in a state to do anything with that because my USB cable broke so my phone's been dead for the past few days and I'm waiting until tomorrow to get one with my father, I'm just a 14 year old girl afterall. I need a quick fix for this error and soon, preferably one without needing my iPhone because I want to listen to this album tonight and make sure it's all in order (and so I know what to do for future reference in case this happens again.) Please let me know your suggestions on resolving this issue. - Taylor
    P.S. I've inserted a picture of what my iTunes looks like just in case it might help, which I doubt, but it might. Also please don't judge the Blood On The Dance Floor albums... I went through a phase that involved **** music.

  • I have ipod classic. i do not have enough memeory capacity on my lap top to allow transfer of all my music. can i  transfer my music to ipod without itunes, or transfer to ipod and then delete form itunes BUT NOT my ipod, then trnasfer more?

    HI
    I have IPOD classic, and want to transfer all my cd's on to my ipod. I have itunes but my laptop will not support all my music which i want to put on my ipod.
    If i transfer music to itunes then sync to ipod - fine - but when i want to delete a cd to enable me to put another one on my laptop (due to memeory)
    itunes then deletes it off my ipod.. AGHHHH. how can i get all my music on to my ipod? i cannt seem to get it to sync via windows media. any help?
    please.

    You could use Manually Manage your iPod, but the problem with that is that if your iPod ever needs to be Restored, the procedure will delete everything on the iPod and put back on what it can find in your iTunes Library. So you would lose anything not on the laptop. Also, when you buy yourself a replacement iPod, once again, you will lose whatever is not in the your iTunes Library.
    Manually Manage means just that. You manually move media onto the iPod. So if you subsequently change anything about a piece of music, such as modifying an incorrectly spelt song title, you would have to remove that song from the iPod, make the change and then put that same (now modified) song back onto your iPod.
    Song Play Counts cannot be used when Manually Managing an iPod, because it's the Sync process that updates that information.
    An alternative to this, is buy yourself an external hard drive to plug into the laptop. If you buy one large enough to hold all your existing music and possible future purchases, you could then move your iTunes Library and all the Playlists and song counts (using the correct procedure, which exeprienced users on this forum can help you with) to that external drive and continue to use Sync. Then, all the content of your iPod would effectively be backed up.
    Using an external drive does mean that you need to have the drive connected and ready to read before starting iTunes - every time. If not, iTunes will fail to find you music and instead look on the internal drive.

  • Video shows in itunes but not on ipod

    3 questions:
    (sorry if these have been asked a million times, I know how obnoxious questions from newbies on forums can be)
    1)I have videos on my itunes (mpeg-4) which dont sync with my ipod.
    *I have plenty of storage space(more than 20 gigs)left
    *my ipod is now set to automatic update. Actually at one point in time one of the videos would play, only in the recently added playlist.
    *when I click on the Ipod options > video > I cant select anything, its all the unselectable light gray...
    So what else can I try?
    2) a related question: How do I create playlists on itunes?
    3) erm, I cant count apparently, thanks in advance, and sorry for the bother!

    oops, I meant:
    How do I create video playlists? I know how to create playlists! Can I just create a normal playlist than put videos in it? Will that show up as a video playlist?
