Am I tagging my music wrong or is this something the iPad does?

iPad users... am I tagging my music in iTunes incorrectly, or do you notice this too?
In the iPod app, when you view all your music by Albums and flip it to reveal the track listing, some albums list the release date (for example, April 10, 2008), while other albums only list the release year (2008).
I don't see any way to change or edit this in iTunes... Go to your Albums on your iPad and see if you notice the exact same thing... Some albums have the exact date, and some only have the year.
Is it like this for anybody else? Just wondering what I'm doing wrong, or if it's all iPads. If you could check your albums on your iPad for me, and let me know, I'd appreciate it.

I suspect your iPad is merely revealing more detail than is shown in iTunes. It wouldn't be the first time that iTunes & an Apple device handled the same data in different ways. At present there is no way to enter anything other than a Year via the iTunes *Get Info.* dialog, however other tagging software can store a full date (and probably time too) in the *Release Date* field. Perhaps the tracks with full dates were ripped with something other than iTunes, or bought from a different online store.

Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

You've connected the iPad via cable to your computer, and your computer's iTunes is up-to-date ? If it's icon isn't showing then try one of these troubleshooting pages :
PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
Mac : If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
If the iPad is disabled then you'll need to reset the iPad back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to your backup

HT1386 I have connected my iPad2 to my iMac with a USB cable, and synched my photos. I want to synch my music from iTunes but get this message: "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing content on the iPad "Marion Blackmer's iPad" will be remo

Sorry, I put my question in the wrong place. I'm afraid I will lose all my photos, etc., on the iPad.

To import your photos to iPhoto, open the app on oyur computer, then connect your iPad. wait for it to show up on the left toolbar and you can select all and import them to your iPhoto library. Drag and drop it to your desktop or wheverever you want them. Is it just photos you wanted to import?

Why can't I get music videos to NOT sync on the iPad

So I have recently updated to iOS 7 on my daughter's iPad 2. Out of the blue, now because not before, all the music videos on my computer sync to her iPad. I have the include music videos unchecked under music. I have the sync only checked songs and videos on the summary screen. The only thing checked to sync under music is the genre Christian and Gospel. Yet, every music video on my computer are being pushed into her iPad. Most of the videos are not 8-year suitable in my opinion. Britney Spears new videos, Ke$sha, Eninem, etc... Can someone tell me how to get my wife's filth videos off my 8-year old's iPad? PLEASE!!!!

How to play music videos back to back on the ipad

I created a playlist of music videos on iTunes and synced to my iPad. The videos show up on my Video App (each video separate) and on the Music App (as a playlist) If I try to play the list from the Music App all I get is Audio. If I go to the Video App I can only play one at a time after selecting it from my collection. Am I missing something?
All my videos play very nicely back to back on my Apple TV, I can even shuffle them!!! I just can do the same thing on my iPad.

Thanks for the answer. That royally *****! I wish I would have know this before I went and bought upwards of 40 videos...

'Sort by' tags for music ignored?

There are some albums for an artist where I want to sort by something other than the actual album name, and so I use the appropriate 'Sort by' tag. This works fine in iTunes and I get my albums listed accordingly, but the Apple TV doesn't seem to use it and lists by actual album name.
Am I doing something wrong or is this really the case?
I've only had my Apple TV a couple of days and updated the software to 1.1 immediately, so I can't comment on what the original software did.

Thanks for the response. I am currently making a long list of improvements and issues to provide Apple with feedback, both for the Apple TV and the iPod.
Whilst I accept the point that the Apple TV has only been out for a relatively short time, in my opinion, it comes from the iPod family and is aimed at iPod users. I would expect the way things are shown and sorted on the Apple TV to be the same/similar as the iPod. For this reason I bought it, so that I could have one central store of music and audiobooks with an Apple TV set of TV shows and movies and an iPod set of TV shows and movies. This would allow me to sync easily with the iPod and the Apple TV.
There are some obvious errors in the way the Apple TV orders audiobook tracks, where the iPod gets it right. Also, why would you want to Shuffle the tracks of an audiobook?
The Apple TV is fairly simple to use and adding more preference options only affects those who want to change from the default settings. Users only have to go into changing the preferences if that is what they want to do.
There are some features of the iPod that make it easy to use in the way I want but are not on the Apple TV. There are also some features of the Apple TV that make it easy to use in the way I want but are not on the iPod. I feel that both should be made consistent with each other.
At the moment, I will need to put my audiobooks from CD as audiobook .m4b files for the Apple TV (which shows a sub-menu for album and so that it remembers playback position) and as music .m4a files for the iPod (as there is no sub-menu for album in audiobooks). This uses up twice the disc space and they have to be managed differently! For example, for the iPod I can use Sort Album field to show my Harry Potter audiobooks in series order but for the Apple TV I have to prefix the name the audiobooks with the book number.
Regards
John

MP4's tagged as music video only play audio + static picture?

Hi everyone,
Is it normal that MP4 files, that have been tagged as Music Video (Itunes Media Type), only show a static image on playback instead of a moving image.
I assumed that a music video would show the video too. Hence the tag name "Music VIDEO"
So at this point, I'm looking at a still image. Audio plays fine though.
Thank you for your help,
Jeroen

This same exact thing happened to me just recently. My videos played fine since I got my iPod in December and now they just play audio and are organized in with my "music" menu. I've looked around and a lot of people seem to have this happening to them also, but no one has had a real solution that I've found. I think it may have something to do with an iTunes update since the problem happened after I updated.

I only see about 10 iphone music apps -- am I missing something?

Looking for iphone music apps and only see a few at the apple store.
Am I looking in the wrong place?
Thanks,

You are also posting in the wrong place. This is the Mac App Store forum, apps for Mac computers. You should post in the iTunes forum.
BTW, I see scores of iPhone music apps in the iTunes App Store for the iPhone when I search with the search word music.

HT1689 i have a music album on my ipad that i cannot delete i have connected to my laptop where the album has been deleted but when i sync the ipad with the itunes library the unwanted album is still there and i am unable to delete it. any suggestions

I have a music album on my ipad that i cannot delege i have connected the ipad to my laptop where the album has been deleted from the music library but when i sync the ipad to the music i want the unwanted album still appears on the ipad any advice welcome thanks

Hi rosehooker,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Make sure you are following these steps to delete the music from both your iPad and computer:
On the iPad:
Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
Tap the Music app.
Tap the Songs category.
Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
Tap Delete.
On your computer:
Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
Launch iTunes.
From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
Click Songs in the navigation bar.
Click the song you want to delete.
Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
In iTunes 11, the album cover art will remain visible, but a cloud icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
Note: If you didn't purchase a song from the iTunes Store, you won't be able to download it again for free from iTunes in the Cloud. You might want to back it up somewhere on your computer.
You can find the steps above in this article:
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store

For some reason I have a lot of songs duplicated in my music / iTunes can I delete the duplicate on the iPad ?

In list view - in the music app - swipe across the song and a red delete button will pop up. You can tap and hold down on an album icon in order the get the X to delete button.

How do I access Your Music on the iPad app?

I mostly listen to albums, not playlists.
I used to keep all my saved albums on Spotify as playlists - but following the update I re-saved them all as saved albums under 'Your Music' (on the new desktop app for OS X) and deleted my old playlists (assuming I wouldn't need them anymore).
This was fine on my iPhone as now I can access my saved albums under the 'Your Music' However, I then tried this on my iPad and couldn't find a way to access 'Your Music' at all?

Finding your music on the ipad

I got an ipad (first generaton) from a friend. I believed I synced my music correctly (from pc to ipad). My questoin is, how or where do I find the music that I have synced to the ipad so that I can play them? I have tried the ipod app, but still no luck.

Ok, heres and update. I connected the ipad again and the settings for the sync are fine. I did however figure something out. Instead of syncing my entire librarry of music, I only synced a few at a time and it worked. I tested to see how many I could do at a ttime and it seems to be about 8 songs or so. Does anyone know why that is?

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.

(ios5 ipad bugs)I can't get changes of album art, artist, album and other tags to show up in the iPad music player, but they show up correctly in the iTunes device view. Certain random songs do not sync correctly. Wifi sync hasn't worked yet.
I mostly use technology for education and professional audiovisuals and lights.
I don't sync music because I use music from at least 4 different computers. (manually mange music)
I use my iPad to play performance tracks for church and a local gospel group out of our church, Won4Christ.
I chose to buy the iPad because the laptop of one of the group members (dellxps running iTunes) was randomly losing and mixing up music and I wanted a more stable option that was bigger than my iPod touch.
I tried to add some data to music libraries that I previously added to my iPad, but the data only shows up when looking at the device in iTunes.
Wifi sync has not worked on either my laptop or desktop ( both running windows 7 enterprise 64 and newest iTunes) not really a big issue, but very annoying
When browsing through library playlist albums on the iPad, random artwork shows up on playlists with no artwork that you touch while dragging, and it does not go away until you change to another navigation tab and back.
Random songs out of hundreds that I added showed up in iTunes grayed out with a sync circle beside them. Those songs would play back okay on the iPad but were unplayable through the iTunes device view. I had to delete the songs manually through the library along with the playlist and add them again.
These seem to be major stability bugs in the "new" music app and iTunes. My only option right now seems to be to delete the songs that I want to change and re-add them with the changes already applied rather than changing the id3 tags and artwork on the existing music. I hope apple will release updates to resolve these issues.
Thank you for actually making it to the end of this manuscript of annoyances.

Just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

Cyrillic ID3 tags in Music Player

I have a n82 and love it, but I tried to loaded a cd album which contains Russian ID3, but when i try to view the artist,song,album names in the phones built-in music player all I see is weird characters as though my phone doesn't support non-Unicode text. I know for a fact that it displays files with Russian taext in the file name just fine and writes and read in Russian just fine but the ID3 tags are a bit tricky for it.
What can I do to make the music player display Russian ID3 tags properly?

as i know, sans serif doesnt provide unicode mapping. have you tried to change to arial unicode or others eg. code2000??
I'm using arial unicode ms to show japanese symbols,and it should work for cyrillic too,since cyrillic is also mapped in arial unicode. font changing is also affect in all app (i suppose), including java app.
my N73 ME APAC (indonesia) is only able to display latin chars,n by changing the font (that is supports unicode one), now my phone is able to show japanese symbol (including ID3 tag in music player).
