Artist is NOT displayed for some artists on my Nano

Even though it is displayed on my itunes, the artist Michael McDonald is NOT displayed on my IPOD Nano, His album IS displayed on my ipon Nano. It's irritating becasue I remember artist names better than album names.
I went to itunes and checked the iinfo on the file. It was ok. Tried resinking and even erasing and resyning. Did not work. WHAT IS UP. Haven't done a complete search to figure out how many other artists dont show up on my Nano. This is the first one.

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.

  • Thumbnails do not display for some images

    I have a large library with over 65,000 images.
    In some albums and projects the images fail to display in the browser....see here for an screenshot
    http://picasaweb.google.be/lh/photo/tOj7FY4lclLxr8YMEBV8ZA?authkey=_Zrhrl8QDyA
    If I go into filmstrip view I can make them appear but this does not seem to stick...ie when I quit and restart aperture the same images fail to display.
    I have tried selecting and "generate thumbnails" as well as "update previews" and whilst it chunters away working on it for quite a while the images stll persist in not appearing.
    Suggestions?

    Sorry to hear that....I still have no really good news. What I did notice is that if I enlarged the thumbnails above a certain size then they all displayed....but once they dropped below a certain size the ones that did not display, stopped displaying!
    This was so boring that I deleted the entire project (after doing an export, including masters) and then imported the originals again.
    Now everything works fine...but of course I have lost all the tagging and adjustments that I did since importing....so I am not happy at all....but at least I do have a working library.

  • ITunes 10's Album by Artist column not good for assorted artist albums

    If a given album has selections done by different groups or artists, iTunes will fragment the album and create as many little groups for it as there are different performers on the album. This feature became a big problem for me with an album of big band music with presumed many different groups represented that I have and had put onto iTunes. For a few of the selections, I was able to identify the band leader (the album came from an analogue medium, a reel-to-reel tape, that had no titles or artists information) and had these names entered into iTunes. With the old iTunes version, the album would be shown in one place with all the selections in order and with a few of them showing an artist name.
    I found that some of the music files were misnamed and I wanted to add names to another group of generic file names. All these changes caused iTunes to report it couldn't find the songs and needed my help to locate them again. No trouble here, as I would expect nothing less and was familiar with this from other similar cases. What was an unpleasant surprise was that the selections with identified band leaders separated off from the anonymous group and from one another, based just on the names of these band leaders. I had to slowly scan through close to 1900 songs to find the all of the stray pieces of the album.
    If I didn't find all the album titles with new file names, the files would had quietly remained not found and probably would have been deleted from the iPod. ITunes doesn't alert to unfound files at startup; one has to click each name for Get Info in order to get the dialogue for locating the file again.
    Even if iTunes wouldn't keep all the pieces together (and I understand why it didn't), if the Next and Previous functions would allow me to step through all the tracks of such an album, I could get by, but this is not so either. Next and Previous navigate just to the physically adjacent songs, not the logical neighbors.

    I'm not sure where you were putting in the band leader information - my guess is you used Album Artist instead of just plain Artist - but I think I answered this in your other post.

    Yes, this is a pain. iTunes used to show these unfound tracks more readily. THere is a script that has been around or years that will find them, though. It's "FindDeadTracks" from this page:

    That all depends on what column you've sorted your tracks by. I usually sort my library by Date Added, with new tracks at the top. A new CD I've imported would be at the top and all the tracks from it together. Very easy.
    Other sort columns could also keep the tracks together so you could use Previous/Next.

  • For some artists in my Music app on my I-phone, the songs do not appear when I search by the artist.  However, if I search the album name, all the songs show.  How do I get the songs to show under songs?

    Hi Spam_Valley,
    I understand that you are having issues with your music displaying correctly. This may be an issues with the metadata stored within that song, and iTunes interpretation of that info.
    We may need to repair this. See the following resources for information:

    Why are some music artists available to download for some countries (i.e USA) but not others (i.e UK) on Itunes?
    It's so frustrating!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Because that's the way the music labels want it.

  • Ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song

    ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song... i cant see the the volume display to adjust it eiether. Everyting shows up in the menus just not on the now playing screen.... any suggestions?

    Try restoring your iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • Outlook autodiscover is not working for some users in coexistence

    Hi
    We are doing exchnage 2013/2010 coexistence
    Most everything is ok BUT outlook autodiscover is not working for some exchange 2010 users now that 2013 is in the front!!!.  We end up creating the profiles manually.  It has affected some but not all the users.
    I followed the instructions here but it didn't help.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/tips_from_the_inside/archive/2012/01/11/autodiscover-fails-for-one-or-more-users.aspx
    Using outlook 2010, 2013, patches, .... didn't make a difference
    Would you please help?
    Thank you

    Hi 
    If it is affecting only few handful of users i could suspect a mailbox corruption and would recommend to move mailbox and see the results.
    Also you can try below
    You need to set the values MaxFieldLength, MaxRequestBytes & MaxTokenSize to below on Exchange 2010 CAS servers as well as Exchange 2013 CAS servers
    Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
    Name: MaxFieldLength
    Type: DWORD
    Value: 65534
    Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
    Name: MaxRequestBytes
    Type: DWORD
    Value: 16777216
    Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters
    Name: MaxTokenSize
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Value: 48000 
    Just reboot the servers once its done and you will be good to go.

  • MAM application is not working for some users

    Hi All,
    Tha MAM application is not working for some users.Different users have different workcenters other than that I dont see any other change. When I run MAM30_090_GETLIST in the backend I can see the no of customized users.But I cant see same no of users in the MEREP_207 table for the Syncbo MAM30_090 and strcture id TOP in the middleware. There is a data when I checked under worklist monitor for that user. But neither the MAM application nor MAM data is downloading to that device.
    If I use different user on the same device I can see the MAM application and MAM data.
    What could be the wrong in this case. Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Mobile Client:MI 70 SP 15 Patch 0 Build 200802280918
    Middleware:SAP NetWeaver 2004s with Patch leve 15
    Backend:SAP ECC 6.0
    Application:MAM 3.0
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ameer.

    Hi,
    from your description the source of your issue is quite obvious: some of the MAM users configured in spro are not configured properly.
    For T01 SyncBos the number of TOP records in merep_207 MUST be the same as number of headers returned by an appropriate getList FM in the backend.
    You need to solve this before you can go any further.
    Reason why a record is not recorded in MEREP_207 - getdetail failed for whatever reason. So execute MAM30_ML_getdetail for each of the users that is not replicated in the middleware and check if there are errors in RETURN table. If there is no error - one of the common reason for replication fail is when there are records in item tables that have duplicate primary keys.
    Regards,
    Larissa Limarova

  • Material Description is not displaying for few records in Report

    Dear Experts,
    Report Material Description is not displaying for few records in Bex Report but for records it is coming and even the heading of the material Description is also not coming for this report.
    Cud u plz suggest a good solution for it.
    Regards,
    Sai Phani.

    Hi Phani,
    For the text of the material in records, check if there is text maintained for that material in the master data. also try by changing the text to medium text and long text.
    regarding header, you will have same heading for key and text, you may use Materail ID / Description as the heading if you want.
    regards,

    hi Gurpreet,
    You can add values to that transient column programatically,either by getiing the row from the iterator and then row.setAttribute('Column_name','Value');
    Or providing value to it in the SQL...
