Artist/songs won't display correctly

16GB iPod touch 2G.
I got this iPod a couple weeks ago, when I ordered a new 13.3" MacBook Pro. Everything's been working fine up to this point, but I just ran across some issues after I installed the 3.0 software update.
I have a Korean artist in my library that has 3 albums associated with it: "Pieces, Part One," "Remapping the Human Soul part 1" and "Remapping the Human Soul part 2." Prior to the 3.0 update, everything was fine with this artist--under artist view, it displayed as one artist, and when I selected Epik High, it would show those three albums. After installing 3.0, however, I've been having a lot of problems.
The Remapping the Human albums seem fine; if I try uploading those two and leave out "Pieces, Part One," everything displays as it should. When I try to upload Pieces, however, my iPod becomes very very unhappy, and displays this:

Two obvious problems here. First of all, there shouldn't be so many entries for Epik High. Secondly, when I select Epik High (any and all of them), it only shows the one song. They exist in the iPod though--I can find them if I go to song view.
Any ideas? Should I just revert back to the original software, or what?

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.

  • PDF won't display correctly after being sent from iPad/iPhone

    Hi,
    Wondering if anyone can help me, we have a PDF come in to one of our users outlook accounts, it opens fine on the computer. However, he has then proceeded to forward this to a colleague through his iPad and when the colleague opens it on their computer, it gives an error message 'Insufficient Data for an Image'. From here the PDF doesn't display correctly, whereby it only shows when scrolled halfway down the page, when you scroll back up all information dissapears as though it were a blank page.
    FYI the software we are using to open the PDF is Adobe Reader, which we updates to the latest version to test for this issue. In short, when opened on the local computer it works fine, but as soon as it is forwarded from an iPad it won't open properly (the document opens fine on the ipad before it is sent). I have also tested this through my iPhone and i get the same issue.
    Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

    Any chance that a Microsoft Exchange Server is in the mix? Could depend on what version of exchange is used.
    You will need to try a work-around. Apple seems slow on fixing this issue.

  • Album Artwork won't display correctly.

    I've been having this issue for a few months now. My music doesn't have the right cover art on my Ipod touch 4 (running 6.1.6) but it displays correctly on iTunes 11.1.4 for PC. What happens is cover art for other music that i own will be on albums that don't match the artwork. I've tried clearing and redownloading the artwork, reinstalling (the same version) iTunes, deleting my entire library and starting from scratch, and restoring backups of my ipod but to no avail. Is this fixed with iTunes 11.1.5 or am i stuck like this?

    i am having the exact same issue right now
    on the music list (also in itunes) it'll display the correct album artwork but when i play the song it'll display a different artwork rather than the original :/
    i want to find a way to fix it since it's bothering me a bit

  • Song won't play correctly no matter how many times I replace it.

    I am trying to copy over Santana - Supernatural - Do you like the way to my iphone. But the problem is everytime it is copied to the iphone it seems to become corrupted and doesn't play correctly. If I play it in iTunes it has no problem so the original file is ok. It's just the copy on the iphone that is messed up. What it will do is start playing the song for about 1 second, then sound ends for 1 second then the song restarts. This happens every time.
    Like I said I have deleted it off my phone about 4-5 times and told it to recopy it again but it won't. Perhaps I am not deleting it right? I delete it off of my play list then sync my phone. It no longer shows up in my list of songs or by artist. Then I put the song back on the play list and resync it.
    Any ideas?

    one thing that might help.
    If the song was imported from a cd or other location, you might want to try changing the format of the song file.
    Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

  • Some songs won't display on ipod

    I figure this seems more like an itunes syncing issue than an actual ipod problem, so I'll post it here...
    It would seem that some songs under certain artists will not display in my ipod. This occurs when some songs are listed as being from one album, and the others are not tagged as being from an album at all. When I click the artist, it proceeds directly to the menu for that one album, skipping the screen which would normally give me the option to click "all". This problem does not occur when there is more than one album listed for that artist.
    Example:
    Song A - Album A
    Song B - Album A
    Song C
    Song D
    Song E
    My ipod will only display the songs on Album A, giving me no access to the "All" menu and consequently no access to any songs which are not labelled as being on a specific album.
    This problem does not occur with the following scenario:
    Song A - Album A
    Song B - Album A
    Song C - Album B
    Song D
    Song E
    In this case, I would get the select album menu, at which there would be an option for "All," giving me access to the songs which are not tagged as being on an album.
    Is this a bug, or are my settings screwed up?

    Not completely certain what you are trying to describe, but the first thing I would look at is your mp3 tags.
    Both iTunes and the iPod are very sensitive to incorrect mp3 tags.
    In iTunes 7 you now also have album artist as well as artist, if I were you I would select the middle view in iTunes 7 (the one which gives you a small picture next to the artist) and just see how your artists and albums are arranged.
    After upgrading to iTunes 7, I had to spend about two hours organising album artists and compilations, this was never an issue before v7.
    Once this is done your music should display on your iPod correctly.

  • Chinese Song Name Not Displayed Correctly

    When I import music, the song names come up to all garbled, which they are displayed in weird special characters instead of proper Chinese.
    I've tried to reverse Unicode, and have no effect on it. I also tried changing the OS language to Chinese, but it doesn't help as well.
    When I copied the files from my PC, I've checked the files that they display their song name correctly in Finder, but all corrupted when I import them into iTunes.

  • When exporting UTF-8 encoded HTML page to PDF, Foreign characters won't display correctly.

    I'm not sure if this is a PDF issue or a PHP issue, I have tried asking this in several forums with no working result, and I hope this is the right place to post this question... if not please let me know of another forum.
    here's my PHP code.
    $test_label = 'の契約';
    $result = html_entity_decode($test_label, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')
    PDF_show_xy($pdf, $result.": ".$order_date , SECTION_START_X+TEXT_LEFT_PADDING, 750+((SECTION_TITLE_BOX_HEIGHT-5)/2));
    the UTF-8 encryption is correct, because the web browser displays all the characters correctly.
    Problem:
    Problem occurs when I try to export the HTML into PDF.
    All I'm getting in my pdf export is a bunch of gibberish. Is there a PDF add-on/plug-in that I'm suppose to install? or is my encoding function called incorrectly wrong.

    oh, sorry if I was unclear.
    I use PHP's PDF functions to create PDF files that looks like my html page.
    here are the functions
    http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php
    anyway my question is, if there is a setting or a addon/plug-in/third party program that I have to download for Adobe Reader to display foreign language?
    and if anyone knows PHP, am I using the correct decoding function?
    If I'm on the wrong forum, can anyone direct me to the correct one?
    I can't seem to find any resources on exporting HTML pages with foreign characters to PDF using php.

  • New monitor/calibration; now colors won't display correctly in ACR and Elements

    Just got a new ASUS LCD monitor, and calibrated it with the Spyder 3 Express. 
    Now when I open a .CR2 file using Elements to edit the RAW image, the color is displayed as yellowy-gray and dull.  It looks the same when I pull it into Elements 7, unless I remove all color management (which, if I save the image, actually then renders the image colors neon and oversaturated with lots of pink and red tones).
    I also use Lightroom 3 and I am having the same problem there.  Upon import of either an edited Jpeg or a .CR2 RAW file, the color in Lightroom is displayed as dull, grayish yellowy-green. 
    If I export and view the very same image in GIMP, Picasa or on the web, as long as the colorspace is intact (sRGB), the color is accurate.  Not so in Elements or Lightroom.
    If you have experience with this problem is it the monitor, the calibration, or Elements and Lightroom.  I am beyond frustrated and need to see my colors properly.  I have not had this problem before.

    I don't use Spyder to calibrate my monitor; instead, I use the software and tool that X-Rite makes and it came with my NEC wide-gamut monitor. I suspect that the tools are similar.
    First, make certain that you're using your Spyder spectrometer and the accompanying software correctly. Although I consider myself relatively computer saavy, I find that I have to follow the instructions carefully.
    Then, calibrate your monitor so that the colors and brightness the monitor displays are correct for your printer setup. In my case, the tool uses ICC color standards to set the colors. And, I tell it I want the monitor's brightness to be 90 candelas per square meter (cd/m2), which is about the same brightness as a blank white piece of photo paper. With the monitor brightness set at 90 cd/m2, I avoid getting prints that are too dark. If you calibrate the monitor correctly, the colors should look good and you should have a white that looks white and a black that looks black - that is, you shouldn't have any colors that don't look right.
    Second, when you use Elements (PSE) or Lightroom (LR) to print, be sure to indicate that you want PSE or LR to control the colors and not the printer. It's very important, too, that you have the correct printer-paper profiles downloaded into the printer driver and that you select the correct paper profile. I have an Epson 3880 printer and I use Epson papers (mostly); so, I tell PSE to use the profile that fits the paper I'm using - for example, Epson Premium Glossy. When I downloaded the printer driver into my computer, it also downloaded the Epson paper-printer profiles and they appear in the print dialog boxes used during the printing process. (Other paper manufacturers, such as Ilford, make profiles available for downloading on their website.)
    I hope this helps; if it doesn't let's go into some more.

  • Cover flow is completely bugged out and won't display correctly

    Awhile back, one of my displays which held a maximized iTunes window was accidentally unplugged, which somehow caused the iTunes window to shrink beyond its allowed limits. Ever since, I've had this problem when I try to use cover flow on the Music or iTunes DJ sections (many playlists were affected too, but I just recreated them to fix it):
    Exhibit A, maximized iTunes DJ with list view, everything works normally:
    http://uptohere.net/public/itunes-cover-flow-glitch.png
    Exhibit B, same window with cover flow, note the massive glitch:
    http://uptohere.net/public/itunes-cover-flow-glitch2.png
    Exhibit C, list view shrunk to the smallest size allowed, works fine:
    http://uptohere.net/public/itunes-cover-flow-glitch3.png
    Exhibit D, cover flow shrunk to the smallest size allowed, still glitched:
    http://uptohere.net/public/itunes-cover-flow-glitch4.png
    The mouse can't interact with the glitched cover flow, which is to say I'm unable to click on it or try to resize it because the mouse clicks whatever is hidden behind it instead.
    This problem has followed me across installations, even moving from XP to Win7 x64, and from iTunes 8 to iTunes 9.
    When migrating my installation, I copied these files from \Documents and Settings\[my username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\:
    - iTunes Library Extras.itdb
    - iTunes Library Genius.itdb
    - iTunes Library.itl
    - iTunes Music Library.xml
    - \Album Artwork
    - \iPod Games
    Other than that, the installation was brand new.
    How the heck can I fix this glitch without having to completely recreate my library?

    Is there any way to view and edit iTunes Library.itl?
    Nope.
    Having created an empty library it will also have nuked the *iTunes Library.xml* file (unless you backed this up too). Close iTunes and rename the new .itl as *iTunes Library (Empty).itl*. Now copy your original itl file (so you'll have a backup later) and call the copy *iTunes Library.itl*. Start iTunes and let it rebuild the XML so that it contains your entire library. Put your iTunes folder in details mode and check the last modified date for the .xml file over a few minutes until it stops being updated. Close iTunes and let it complete the saving of files. Now rename *iTunes Library.itl* as *iTunes Library (Old).itl*, rename *iTunes Library.xml* as *iTunes Library (Old).xml*, then rename *iTunes Library (Empty).itl* as *iTunes Library.itl*. Start iTunes and use *Library > Import Playlist* to import *iTunes Library (Old).xml*. This should bring back your library with any meta-data that is exported to the XML. Whether this includes all the details such as ratings, playcounts, date added or modified that you might want or need is another matter - you have to try it to find out. If you're not happy just restore the old .itl file.
    Good luck,

  • Site won't display correctly when 'Published' to Business Catalyst but does when 'Preview' in browse

    Basically I have a subscription to Muse and with that the ability to host one site with Business Catalyst. When checking the first site I designed I'd use 'Preview in Browser' and the site occasionaly displayed incorrectly, so I changed my habits to publishing the work-in-progress site to the BC url with this current site.
    Unfortunately there are multiple display problems with doing this; the two images below show the difference between 'Publish' to the BC domain and 'Preview site in browser'.
    I've cleared the cache of the browser multiple times and used both Firefox and Safari and the problem still remains. I'm assuming it's a problem with Business Catalyst?
    Does anyone have a solution for this? Has data become corrupted in BC, and if so is there a way of 'flushing' the data held on the BC site clean to start from scratch?
    Would really appreciate some help here as it's impossible to show my client the current state of the site
    Thanks in advance

  • IPod is corrupt: songs won't sync correctly

    So, I got my girlfriend an iPod Classic for Christmas and she said that iTunes keeps telling her to restore her iPod every time she plugs it in to sync music. She said that she has restored three times. She thought it was broken so she gave it to me to fix. I recently found out that she was running an old version of iTunes, I think like version 7 or something. When I tried to sync it with my library it worked until I got to about 2000 songs out of 6000 and it gave me a 1303 error and said that the iPod was corrupt. I'm not sure if it's the hard drive since stuff can be put on it. Is it possible for her old version of iTunes to be the cause of the problem?

    The exact thing has happened to me as well. I plugged my ipod into the usb port of a computer at my university (to just charge the battery) without realizing that itunes was not installed on there. Since then, each time I attempt to restore my ipod I get something that says "There was a problem downloading the ipod software for the iPod 'iPod'. The requested resouce was not found." I don't know what to do, I have latest versions of both itunes and the ipod software.

  • Firefox won't display correctly

    I updated my firefox to restore the factory settings. Since then I am unable to see my outlook email correctly and Netflix will load the website but not allow me to play a show.
    I am not sure if I have a problem with my add-ons,plugins, or something else. Please help

    Netflix on mobile will not show, you will have to use an app. However for outlook are you talking about Firefox for mobile or desktop?

  • Dialog won't display correctly

    I'm trying to create a simple dialog that has a title, some text, and ok, cancel, other buttons. However, when I create it, the buttons appear on the left and the text appears on the same row to the right of the buttons. I've tried everything I can think of and can't seem to get it to do what I want. Here's my code:
    var dlgUserChoice = {
    initialize: function(dialog) { },
    commit: function(dialog) { },
    other: function(dialog){
    dialog.end("other");
    description: {

    height: 100,
    align_children: "align_left",
    elements:
    type: "static_text",
    name: "blah blah blah blah blah",
    font: "default"
    type: "ok_cancel_other",
    ok_name: "Choice 1",
    other_name: "Choice 2",
    cancel_name: "Cancel"

    Also, if i switch the order of the two child elements it switches the order on screen, but they are still on the same row.

  • Won't display table correctly; shows OK in IE all versions

    Table won't display correctly in Firefox; deletes first <tr>...</tr> section, shifts 2nd <tr>...</tr> section to right. The table shows correctly in all IE versions.

    You should never use multiple hyphens in a comment.
    Firefox will toggle the comment state after every two hyphens (--), so you need a lot of luck with this many as here:
    <pre><nowiki><!----------------------------------Geograhphy, etc. ------------------------------------>
    </nowiki></pre>
    Firefox treats the code that follows as comment until the next two "--" found in the next section. You can see that via View > Page Source as green comment.
    <pre><nowiki><!---------------------------------- Accessibility ------------------------------------>
    </nowiki></pre>
    You're code shows here an extra empty <nowiki><td></nowiki> that causes an empty column to appear at the left if that is what you mean.
    <pre><nowiki><!--<center>-->
    <TR align="center">
