All of my songs do not show up in the "Artist" list of my iPod Video

I can't figure this out and see no reference to it anywhere. On my iPod I have roughly 4,000 songs. Occassionally I think of a song I want to hear by a particular artist and when I to to Music>Artist>whoever, not ALL of their songs on my iPod will show up in the list... If I know the name of the song and go to Music>Songs>whatever, the song will be there and when I start it playing all of the info shows up as expected. If, in iTunes, I look at the "info" for the particular song (by right clicking on the song) everything appears normal and just like the other songs that DO show up. What is happening here??? It's frustrating to have to scroll through all those song titles to find one that could easily have been pulled up by the artist's name.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

This is a small...."Bug" I guess you could call it, in the ipods software where if you have songs by one artist and none of them have a album listed with them, they do not show up under "Artist".
I forgot the exact workaround, but I think its something like if you give one song by the artist a album name (By rightclicking it in iTUnes, hitting get info and selecting the info tab) all the rest of the songs will now appear under artist on the ipod

Some russian titles do not show up in the artists' lists

Hi, I encountered a strange issue with some songs with a russian title with my Nano 2G. The issue appears with some songs, which I downloaded from the bands' websites, e.g. http://www.pelagea.ru. I copied the title from the website and enter it in iTunes. This works fine. Also on my iPod, the titles show up when played, in the playlists and in the list of all songs. However they are missing in the list of the artist (Music -> Artists -> <Band>).
I tried to convert the ID3 tags in iTunes, which was proposed in some Apple document, and I also deleted the title and typed it manually using the russian keyboard - without success. So I also tried to download the MP3 files again and to enter the title directly with the keyboard - no success.
Now I wonder whether this is a bug in the iPod software (version 1.1.1), since the titles are shown everywhere except in the artists' lists, or whether the MP3 files are broken, since other songs with a russian title (downloaded or imported from CD) work as supposed. Any idea how to make the songs from the webiste above working? I guess the same cure would also fix the others, with which I am having trouble.

Make sure it has Album, Artist and Title fields filled in.

Why is an artist not showing in under the Artists tab on my ipod yet I can choose individual songs on the Songs tab

I would like to listen to my entire Alice in Chains playlist. When I go to the Artists tab to find them, Alice in Chains does not appear. However, if I look for a specific song by them using the Songs tab, I can find each song individually. I am not sure of this is happening with other artists as well, this is the only one I have noticed so far. Not having the search function on this new ipod model is a huge detriment to its functionality, otherwise I could have just searched for Alice in Chains to find their playlist.
As a note: I believe it is something to do with the ipod itself because I have the same songs synched to my Gen 5 ipod and I have no problem pulling Alice in Chains up as an Artist.
Thank you for the help!

Make sure the songs have Artist and album info in the ID tags.

Recently, U2 music appeared on my ipod without my requesting it or wanting it. I was able to delete all of the songs except for one. How do I delete the last one from my ipod? The song does not show up in iTunes when I plug my ipod into the computer.

Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
Here's that thread...

Ipod Classic Not showing some of the artists

My ipod 80 gig is not showing an artist on my artist list but if you go under albums its there.... any ideas why

Two things often contribute to this.
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.

Why is my iPad is not showing up in the Devices list in iBook Author?

Why is my iPad not showing up in the Devices list in iBook Author? iBook ver is up to date. iTunes sees the iPad. What gives...
Message was edited by: drydruid

OK, the problem is partly solved. iBooks Author is not 'smart' enough to realize the iPad had been plugged-in and iBook on if all that happens after iBooks Author is already started. On the off chance that that was the problem I Quit iBA, made sure the iPad was connected and iBook was on then restarted iBA. Sure enough, there it was.
I really like Mac's but sometimes they're not as smart as they think they are.

TS4006 I lost my iPad and it's not showing up on the devices list of the Find my iPhone App

I lost my iPad and now it's not showing up on the Find my iPhone App devices list. I just have my iPhone and my iPad on it. I know that the app is enabled on my iPad b/c I have tested it from my iPad in the past. Any ideas why it's not showing up on the devices list? And how can I get it back on my device list so I can find it?

Is the app compatible with the iOS on the phone? Do you have automatic downloads enabled on the phone?

I have a ringtone that is not showing up in the voicemail list in settings?

IOS5 Iphone 4
I have a ringtone that I would like to have a as a ringtone when someone leaves a new voicemail message.
The ringtone is installed on the iphone. I can select it as a ringtone for phone calls in settings........ no problem.....
But when I go to settings on the iphone, the "new voicemail" ringtone option, the one ringtone that I want to use does not show up in the list.
All of my other ringtones are available accept the one I want to use? I have a total of 6 custom ringtones. 5 show up in "new Voicemail" drop down...

Here are the steps, from an Apple note. You said the eject key didn't work and there was nothing to drag to the trash ....
Try to eject discs using the F12 or eject key on the keyboard.
If the disc will not eject try dragging the disc icon to the trash.
If the disc will still not eject, holding down the trackpad or mouse button after restarting the computer should also eject a disc.
If the disc continues not to eject, reset the System Management Controller (SMC) and try steps 1-3 again.
If the disc still does not eject, for additional troubleshooting, evaluation, or service pleasecontact Apple, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with anApple Retail Store.

Song purchases do not show up in the artist column but they do show up in the song column. What gives?

When you purchase songs, I have several artists that do not appear in the artist column. The songs appear in the song column, but they are not grouped in the artist column. What gives?

Make sure these tracks are not marked as part of a compilation in iTunes from under the Info tab of the Get Info window that can be accessed by right->clicking on a track.
