Artist name shows under song name in itunes

in my itunes library, in the artist view, i go to the artist i want to listen to, then all of albums show up, some albums, have the artist name under the song, i look at the info of the entire album(songs on that album) and the artist and album artist are the same(copy and paste both sections) Songs that have artist name under song, also have the same artist on other songs that don't have the artist name under song, When i go to my music, i right click on songs that have artist name under song in itunes, and it also looks the same as the ones that don't, I ACTUALLY LIKE IT BETTER IF THE NAME OF THE ARTIST APPEARS UNDER THE SONG, it looks nicer

When you say adding your music again to your iTunes library, do you mean importing again from your cds, or have you used some other method to get the music from your iPod into iTunes?

  • 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:

  • Solution for some artists not showing under "Artists"

    If you go to settings and turn compilations "off" all artists will show under artists listing. Assuming that title, artists, and album info is filled in.

    You have to check off the box saying "part of compilation at the bottom of the get info tab on the song.

  • How to import songs by file name (not by song name)

    Hi
    I've got many files with different names yet they all have same song name (the website precisely!!!). When I import them into iTunes, all of them appear with same song name (such as www.apple.com). Is there anyway I can import them by file name as song name???
    Thanks

    iTunes uses the id3 tags, not the file name to determine the information that is displayed. There is no way that I know of to change this. Are you saying the songs have the same title, artist name, and album name but they're different songs?
    Check out Doug's Scripts. There may be something useful there.

    You may be able to extract the hard drive from the broken computer, mount it in an external drive bay and recover the library from it. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Ipod does not show my songs, neither does Itunes but says there is 10gigs

    My ipod or my itunes does not show my songs, but they both say i have 10 gigs on the ipod.. any ideas what is going wrong and how i can fix it?

    Try restoring your iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. 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

  • Videos not showing under top charts in itunes

    After the 5.1 update on Friday I cannot see music videos in Itunes under Top Charts but I can see them if I just look under all.

    Does your iTunes store not display these selection buttons?

  • I have a iPod nano 5th generation and there's a song I'm trying to play, but each time I click it from artist it just shows the songs name again. And when I try to click the song from the song list it just skips. How can I fix this?

    Pretty much I have a song on my iPod 5th gen nano that doesn't wanna play, its just one song every other song works. I click it and it show the thing when a song is about to play but then it instantly goes back to where you click on the song. And when I click on it in the songs list it skips immediately to the next song on the list. I have tried restoring my iPod but the song still won't work I've also tried removing the song from the library and the putting it back on iTunes but still no luck. What do you guys suggest I do?

    Can you play the song in iTunes?
    If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.

  • Apple TV won't show under Devices list in iTunes

    My Apple TV is on wireless network and it shows as connected to the network. When I open itunes the ATV does not show up under "Devices". Firewall is turned off on the router and Windows firewall is turned on but Apple TV is listed as an exception. A couple months ago I had no problems with Apple tv showing in itunes. Many shows synced to the Apple TV but now almost all those downloads have disappeared and don't show in ATV or itunes. No new purchased shows will sync to ATV. Both ATV and itunes are updated.
    Any solutions to this problem? Thanks.

    I had the same problem. Broke the link to iTunes but then couldn't see the Apple TV anymore. Here's how I got it to show up again....
    Go to iTunes / Preferences.
    Select Apple TV from the icons at the top of the preferences window.
    Ensure that the Apple TV is deleted by selecting it then clicking the "Remove Apple TV" button.
    Close iTunes completely by selecting iTunes / Quit iTunes from the menu.
    Reboot the Apple TV.
    Restart iTunes.
    Go to Apple TV and select Setting / Computers.
    Select "Connect to iTunes".
    You should see a screen with five numbers asking you to connect to iTunes.
    Check in iTunes on the computer and the Apple TV should be listed in the devices.
    Click on the Apple TV device to set up the connection.
    Key in the number that's shown on the Apple TV screen.
    Set up the syncing again.
    Unfortunately this causes all of the data to have to be resynced. It effectively starts again as if your Apple TV was new but forces it to show in iTunes again.

  • Complete playlists showing under Apple TV in iTunes

    After updating to Apple TV 2.0 and Mac 10.5.2, I am now seeing EVERY iTunes playlist (smart and dumb) underneath the Apple TV in my iTunes devices area. It used to just show what I had synced, but now every single folder is there. Every minute or two, it will briefly return to just the synced stuff for about half a second and then revert again to the entire playlist structure.
    Plus, it won't sync if I have the Movies folder listed to be synced. If I remove the movies folder from syncing, it syncs.
    Has anyone else seen this or know about a fix? I re-installed iTunes and rebooted but that didn't help.

    Sounds like your AppleTV is losing communication with your computer. When it can't communicate it would not display the playlists that are only on your computer, when it can communicate then it would show them.

  • Song names do not show up on itunes from my own cd's

    When I load a cd into my computer it does not show the album name or the song names. Does anyone know what I ma doing wrong

    From iTunes 101 http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/tunes/2/#1
    1. Insert an audio CD into your computer.
    2. If your computer is connected to the Internet, iTunes will automatically display the album title and all track names (if the album is listed in the Gracenote CD database).

  • Itunes repeats artist in song name - odd and aggravating

    when i import mp3s into my library, on about half of what i put in, the artist name is repeated in the song name slot and if i put the songs straight to my ipod, then the same thing is on there, so what i am left with is a track list where all i can see really is the artist name as the name of all the songs...
    the strange thing, is that when i play the song in itunes, or even just right click, and select get info, the artist name disappears and the track is named correctly, just for that track....
    anyone even understand what i am saying here? i imagine there is some easy fix, im just not getting it
    any help is greatly appreciated

    I figured I was not quite clear enough. I understand that the problem is strange and maybe not believable or something like that. I am hoping someone else has had the same problem, but I couldn't find it by searching these forums.
    What i get is this:
    Title: The Beatles - I Want to Hold Your Hand
    Artist: The Beatles
    So when that song is put on to my ipod on the song title line, I have the scroll of "The Beatles - I Want to Hold Your Hand" and when I view the tracklist of an album on my ipod, I usually can't even see the song name because each song name starts with "The Beatles - "
    understand now why that is not good now?
    I understand completely how to use itunes. When I right click on the song in itues and click get info, seemingly magically, the song title corrects it self, the artist name disappears and is left with just "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
    So, when I put 100 albums into my ipod, if I want, i can go through each song, and click on get info, which removes the Artist name from the song title field.
    But this is a huge pain in the ***.
    my ipod is a 2nd gen, I have been using itunes with it since then, this problem only started about 6 months ago with one of the updates i think.
    any ideas?

  • ITunes does not show the names of my songs

    I Was going to download a CD I have & when I put it in all iTunes would show was Track 1, Track 2, and so on. How do I change the names of the songs or get iTunes to recognize the song? Thanks for your help!

    Insert the CD and select it in iTunes.
    Go to menu Advanced -> Get CD track names.

  • Song Name Error in iTunes

    For some songs in iTunes, when added to the library the name of the song is, for example, Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down. iTunes is for some reason automatically adding "artist -" infront of the song name. This can be fixed by right clicking the song and pressing "Get Info" but when you have hundreds of songs that this is happening to it takes a bit of time.
    Anyone know of a fix for this?

    iTunes displays what info is on the songs ID3 tag (aka Get Info). So the only fix is to correct its tags.
    If these songs are being imported from a CD into itunes, you need to rightclick and hit "Get Info" on the CDs name BEFORE Importing
