All my songs by certian artists don't appear under their names, but all their songs appear under 'all songs'

So when I search for a specific artist on my phone, say, Whitney Houston, I only see like 3 or 4 songs, but when I go to see all the songs on my iphone, all her other music is there.
I've checked my music on iTunes on my mac and I see that her name is spelled correctly for all songs and none are checked off with "skip when shuffling" or anything like that.
I've noticed the same issue for other artists too. My songs appear under all songs, but not always under their artist name.
What can I do so all my songs appear under their artist name?

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 (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. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
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. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.

I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. iTunes the software is a free download. Do you mean you bought a subscription to iTunes Match? If so, what do you mean that your music did not transfer to your second computer. Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible so we can better help you.

HT1386 Don´t sync all my songs, from a list 3 songs don´t pass to the iphone, but i see it in my computer in Itunes... What can i do??

What happened to them? They can't just disappear? Have you changed computers or re-loaded the OS since the last time you synced? Do you have a backup of your computer from when they were present in iTunes? Were they ever present in iTunes?

Some songs don't show up on iPod, but they are there

I have an 80GB iPod classic. I have all my songs in iTunes, and I have manually synced them to my iPod. When I view my iPod through iTunes, I can see all the songs and play them. However, when I look on my iPod directly, some songs don't show up when I browse by Artist, Song, etc.
The only way to play them on my iPod is to add them to a Playlist, and then they are accessible. However, if I want to listen to Eminem, for instance, I want to just browse to it in the Artist area.
The songs do have all of the appropriate info, and I have tried Restore and still nothing. These songs used to show up on my old, original iPod, so I am for a complete loss. Please help!

Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

Chinese song titles don't appear when copied from iTunes Mac to XP

Hi all,
I've tried googling the answer to this but can't seem to find the answer so wondered if anyone can help me. Please?
I use a G4 MacMini at home running 10.4.11 and iTunes 9x and keep all my music on an external hard drive. I want to play my music using ITunes 10x on my PC at work running XP SP3. I need to reformat my iPod on the PC anyway cos at the moment it won't as it was originally formatted on my Mac.
I've copied my iTunes Library and my music files to an external hard drive and am using MacDrive so that I can copy them on to my PC, however I've noticed that the titles of the 20 or so Chinese albums I have don't appear. They appear as underscores not squares. The artists names appear ok but not the song titles.
I've installed the East Asian language pack in the Control Panel on the PC. On the Advanced tab, the Language for non-Unicode programs is set to English (UK) and the Code page conversion tables is set to 10002 (Mac - Traditional chinese Big5).
Is there anything else I should have done?
The Chinese song titles would have been imported automatically when I ripped them off CDs on the Mac.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Some artists don't qappear in browser window for a playlist

I've been struggling to find a way to browse a large library of classical music. The browser window is a great idea but I can't find a way to add a browser window pane for the Composer tag. So I selected all the tracks with composer=beethoven and made a playlist.
I notice that some artists for tracks in the playlist don't appear in the Artist browser pane. (For example, Szell/ Cleveland Orchestra.) I don't know how many Artist names are missing from the Browser's Artist but there are at least 2 missing.
I can see the Artist name "Szell..." in the track listings for the playlist. If I'm browsing the library, I see "Szell ..." in the Browser window Artist pane. I just don't see "Szell ..." in the Artist Pane of the browser window for the Beethoven Playlist.
I tried deleting the Beethoven playlist and re-creating it. I get the same problem again.
I'm using iTunes for Windows v 4.7.1.30. I haven't upgraded to the latest iTunes for Windows because I see reports of problems after the upgrade.

My quess on weather or not an artist's name appears
depends on the nature and quality of the CD. On my CDs
of Beethoven symphonies or piano concertos Beethoven's name
will appear.
As I said in my first message, the artist name appears in the track listing. I have edited the tags to show the correct composer ("Beethoven" in this case) and to show the soloist then conductor and then the orchestra in the artist tag. ("Szell/ Cleveland orchestra" in this case.)
I see the "Szell..." in the artist field for the tracks for the symphonies conducted by Szee in my library. When I select Library in the source list, I see "Szell..." in the Artist Browser list. However, when I select the Beethoven playlist, I don't see "Szell ..." in the Artist Browser list. I see the tracks listed and the Artist field says "Szell ..." as expected.
This isn't a problem with the information in the CDDB database iTunes uses to get the tag values it assigns to tracks from a CD. I've edited the tags to fit my conventions.

These are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
          Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
          Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
          Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
          Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
          Advantages: All images should be preserved.
          Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost.

Some songs can be found by Song Name, but not by Artist ?!

I have 3 Neil Diamond songs in my iTunes library, and all of them were sent to the iPod during syncing. Now on my iPod if I search by artist "Neil Diamond" I only see one of the songs. The songs really are on the iPod because I can find them by Song name and play them.
I tried setting the Artist to Neil Diamond in iTunes using Cmd+I and updating all 3 songs to the same artist name at once (even though they already had Neil Diamond set as the artist), but that didn't change anything.
Can anyone explaing this? It's a video iPod with s/w 1.1 and iTunes 6.0.2 (23) on OS X 10.4.4.

I was having a similar problem. I have two Ray Charles Albums in iTunes and Ray Charles is not listed as an Artist in my iPod. I turned off Compilations in the settings menu and all the artists including Ray appeared. I have no idea why but it worked.

I have iPhoto 08 and have been happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly, when I click on an event, instead of all the photos, I just get one- enlarged- and cannot move to the next one. The photo just jumps up or down. How to solve?

I have posted "submit" twice and keep getting requests to submit again. Now being asked to write a summary! Here we go. I have iPhoto 08 and am happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly when I click on an event, instead of getting all the photos, I just get a large version of one photo and cannot move on to the others. The right arrow will not move it and the photo just jumps around.

Note the slider bottom right of the iPhoto Window. Drag it left.

All day events don't appear on my iPhone Calendar-

Or did I make something wrong if my "All day" events don't appear on my iPhone Calendar?

Plugins don't appear in after effects, I followed all the instructions?

I am using Adobe After Effects CS5.5, and I recently tried to install some Video Copilot plugins. I followed the installation instructions and copied them to the plugins folder, but the plugins do not appear in the drop down menu.
Here are some pictures:
Does anyone know why this might be happening? I restarted after effects after copying the plugins to the plugins folder, and they still don't appear.
I am running Adobe After Effects CS5.5 on Windows 7 64-bit.
Thanks!

Another thought, because you have Boris CC7 installed, which takes up so much space in the effects menu, is that AE can only display a finite number of folders in the Effects menu. Once that limit is reached it will stick all the remaining effects in a folder at the very bottom of the list (called additional effects, or something like that...?)
Try looking in the Effects & Presets pallet instead:

Images on Robohelp are very poor quality/blurry or don't appear at all

Hello,
Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated as I have been attempting to solve this for several hours a day for the past week.
I have a simple employee handbook in word (about 20 pages with images) that I’m trying to turn into an html-based document. I've tried a couple if things in order to get this file into robohelp. I've linked the word document to RoboHelp and worked with that, and I've also imported the word doc into framemaker and then linke my framemaker document to Robohelp.
I’ve managed to create the html version with a table of contents doing it both ways, but there are a few images in the word document that turn out really bad in the html version. They look fine in the word document and in pdf version, but when I view them in RoboHelp or in the html version of the document they’re very blurry and choppy. It almost looks as it pixels are missing. I’ve tried everything I could think of but nothing changes the quality of the image. As soon as I link the word document or framemaker document, when I click "view" on the specific image, or just view it from the handbook in Robohelp the image looks terrible.
Someone suggested that I checkmark "do not re-generate image" under project settings but now some of my images aren't appearing at all. All of my images are the same type but I've also tried changing it to png, or bmp, jpeg but nothing changes. They're either blurry or don't appear at all.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

I don't know if this will help you, but I've had issues with poor image quality when importing Word documents into RH7. I see a fuzziness problem with most images--screen shot or not--but it seems really pronounced if the image in Word is reduced to less than 100%. To resolve this, I've opted to manually copy any Word images to another application (I use SnagIt), save them at 100% to PNG format (JPG and GIFs also work), and import the saved image files to Robohelp. That sounds like that's what you ended up doing with Photoshop.
Also, I wonder if it makes a difference how much the text was magnified/reduced when they took the original screen shots. I just did an experiment--using SnagIt, I took a screen capture of a block of text at 100% magnification. I then pasted the screen shot directly from SnagIt into my Robohelp document. It came in perfectly clean--couldn't see any obvious difference between the Robohelp text and the image of the Word text. I got the same results when I saved the screen capture to a PNG file and imported it that way. That leads me to believe the problem you're seeing is a result of having Word images automatically converted to RH.
(In the example--unfortunately hard to see-- the text in the red box is from a screen capture; the rest of the text was entered in RH8--there's no discernable difference in quality.)

HT1386 I cannot get apps I purchased now sitting on my pc onto my iphone. They were there before I upgraded to 6.0.1. I backed them up on my pc and I can see the apps are all there. But after syncing they still don't appear on my phone.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.
