Artists missing from column browser

Today I noticed some artists are missing from the artist list in the column browser in iTunes 11.0.2
No idea why some artists are there and others are not. They do appear in the artist view.

Sure, you can select multiple tracks and use CTRL-I to *Get Info*, then on the Options tab set *Part of a Compilation* to No. You might also find my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums useful.

Artists missing from ITunes - how do you ask ITunes to provide them?

There are a LOT of artists missing from ITUNES. Some seminal albums. For example I wanted to download Ian Dury and the Blockheads (amongst many other artists) but ITUNES does not have a single track by him. Is this because ITUNES is particularly American in their outlook? or some other reason? How do you ask them to make certain artists and albums available for download?

You need to be aware that often the reason any given artist isn't represented on the iTunes Music Store is that the artist or their record company won't license Apple to resell their tracks. This often happens with a deceased artist; the rights are sown up in estates.
So by all means submit your request, but don't be surprised if nothing happens; often there's nothing Apple can do. In the case of The Blockheads, you might want to contact them directly and ask them to get their CDs onto the iTMS.

Having synced my ipod, there are certain artists missing from the list on the ipod, but the tracks are there under the songs list. Any reason why and how do i correct this. Thanks.

We'll assume for now, that all the songs and albums in your iTunes Library are correctly labelled (dangerous assumption, by the way!), and that a Compilation album is one with songs by different artists. Unfortunately, the music industry (bless their little cotton socks!) often mark an album by one artist, that has a collection of their songs from old albums, as a compilation! iTunes doesn't think it is!
The missing artists will be those who only appear on Compilation albums. For example, if you have one song by Fleetwood Mac in your Library, and it's on a multi-artist Compilation album, then Fleetwood Mac will not be listed in the Artists menu. But, if you then import a Fleetwood Mac album (or even a Fleetwood Mac single) into your Library, then not only will Fleetwood Mac appear under Artists, but the song by them in the Compilation album will also be listed.
One way to sort this out is to remove the Compilations option from the Main Menu and the Music Menu on your iPod. To do this, go to Settings/Main Menu/Compilations and press the Select (centre) button to turn off the tick. Then repeat this in the Settings/Music Menu/Compilations.
You should now find the missing artists listed in the Artists menu.
By the way, I now routinely check all albums I import from CD into my iTunes Library. Before I start the import procedure, I make sure that Compilation CD is turned on (highlight the album in the import window and right-click/Compilation CD) if it really is a multi-artist CD - and off if it's a single artist CD. Once imported, I manually change the album info to; (highlight album and select ) File/Get Info/Info/Album Artist has "Various Artists" in the box. Make sure it's the Album Artist box, not the Artist box.

Artists missing from Ipod

Artists that are in my computer Itunes library are missing on my Ipod after synching. Songs are all there under the Ipod Songs tab listing the Artist but under the Artists tab the Artist is gone.

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 is incorrectly marked as part of a compilation (and you have Compilations enabled on the iPod) or 2) the song has no album name associated with it.
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. If you are using iTunes 8 and view the multiple items info box the compilations setting is in the "Options" tab. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.
Also if the 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

Some artists missing from 'browser'

I've recently been finding that several artists are not appearing in my 'browser' display under Artist. If I search for them, I can find them in the search results. But in my list of Artists, they simply do not appear, even though the tag has the artist clearly marked.
And these are all albums bought from the iTunes music store. I try changing the Artist name slightly, but it still will not appear.
For instance, Night Ranger, Enya, David Bowie, none of these people, although bought right from iTunes will appear in the browser list, and nothing I can do will make them there. But I can search for them, and find them easily enough.
Anyone seen that before? Anyone have any ideas for a fix?

Wow, interesting, thanks! They were marked as part of a compilation, and unchecking that somehow made them appear. But the weird thing is, I definitely have other stuff in my library as compilation, but the artists still appear.
BUT, that seems to have fixed it, so thanks!

Harddrive Crashed-One artist missing from purchased...

My harddrive crashed recently and I had to replace it. When I went to get back my purchased songs from iTunes, all of them were there except for the songs of one artist (Utada Hikaru). I had 5 songs from her and none of them were found and when I go to "check for purchases" it says I have all the songs associated with this account (and I only have one).
I bought these songs from the US iTunes so I don't understand why those are the only ones missing. Does anyone know?

Just a thought. Are the songs of the 'missing artists' marked as 'Part of a compilation'?
You will find the checkbox when Getting Info (command-I) of one of the songs (Info tab).
Artists whose albums are marked as part of a compilation do not show up in the iTunes browser. Their albums will show up when you select Compilations (left part of the browser pane, below 'All (xxx Artists)').

Images retouched in Photoshop are missing from Aperture browser

Hi! I'm new here! I'm panicked because: my hard drive died (power outage), I replaced the hard drive, I restored my Time Machine backup, and it did not restore all my images; in each of the 5 most recent project folders, the only images missing are the ones that were retouched in Photoshop and brought back into Aperture (the "finals"). The browser displays these stacks with the master on the left, and a white dotted-line outline with nothing in it where the retouched image used to be. When I double click on the empty image, I get the notorious dark red field with "Unsupported Image Format" in the main viewer area. (This used to happen occasionally and was solved by quitting Aperture and restarting, but doesn't correct this problem.) I am using Aperture 2.1.4. An Apple tech instructed me to do a "restore library", and this process eliminated the white outline so that now there is no indication that any files are missing at all. But two weeks of hard earned work is lost. I never used the vault but Time Machine should have done a thorough backup, no? Any thoughts? Suggestions?

The raw fine tuning controls are camera specific. For some sensors not all controls are available, see this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7481
Note: Some controls in the RAW Fine Tuning area of the Adjustments inspector and the Adjustments pane of the Inspector HUD appear dimmed if these settings are not available for use with images derived from a particular RAW file format. Some camera models can create multiple types of RAW file formats, and different controls may be available for each of these RAW file formats.
Using these controls, you can fine-tune your RAW decoding settings on an image-by-image basis. Aperture also enables you to save your customized RAW decoding settings as effects or as the default settings always used with a specific camera, so they are easily applied to newly imported images. For more information about saving your custom RAW Fine Tuning settings as the default for a specific camera, see Setting the Camera Default.
If the RAW Fine Tuning controls do not appear, the selected photo is from a previous version of Aperture. You must first reprocess the image using the most current RAW image processing. For more information, see An Overview of Reprocessing Photos.
For example, I am seeing all Raw Fne uning controls for my dng-files from the Lumix FZ28, but not for the Canon EOS 5D Mk II:

Artists missing from menu

When I go the Artists there are quite a few missing, they are not from compilation albums either. How can I get all the artists to show up?

Try this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307206
The songs may not be part of a compilation, but does iTunes know that? Check the setting.

ITunes missing from Media Browser -- "open itunes to populate list"

I am on a MacBook Pro 10.7.3 running GarageBand '11 6.0.4 and all of the sudden no tracks will display under Audio in the Media Browser (Photos and Movies still appear). No tracks from either iTunes or GB show up. This is confusing as I have been using GB to make podcast/music mixes for more than 5 years and I haven't changed any settings or done anything different, but now I get the message "open itunes to populate list" or "To see GB songs here, open GB to edit and save your music."
Also, for quite some time I have been unable to go the alternative route of dragging tracks directly from iTunes and dropping them on to the timeline in GB -- that used to work, but mysteriously stopped, so I am dependent on the Media Browser for importing music.
I read thru the forums and tried the advice given to someone this was happening to in Final Cut -- recreating iTunes .xml file. Did that, still no tracks display.
Other advice says to reinstall GB or iLife altogether -- I hope to avoid this, but if I need to go this route, how do I reinstall GB w/o a disk? Can I do it through App Store and will it recognize that I have already purchased it?
I am dying to be able to get back in to my music mix making in GB, so thanks in advance.

you can't, you'd need to find the DVD

no, it'll only recognize your purchase if it was through the app store

Artist missing from index

I have 12000+ songs on an iPod Classic. I was searching through Artists for an artist I know is there but it does not show on the index or through the search option. If I go to the Compilation Album on which that artist appears, I can find the track which is clearly marked as being by the artist in question.
Is the index corrupted? If so, how can I fix it?
Thanks

To ensure artists from Compilation albums appear on the Artists menu on the iPod Classic:
In iTunes, highlight the complete album:
Make sure the album is ticked as Part of a compilation (File/Get Info/Options>Part of a compilation>Yes.) Note; even if it states "yes", change it to "no" and then back to "Yes". This ensure all tracks for that album are set to "yes".
(With the complete album still selected) look on File/Get Info/Info and make sure that the Album Artist field has "Various Artists" typed in it. With this item, if it has text in the box, then it applies to each and every track, unlike the compilation menu above.
Sync iTunes with the iPod to ensure any changes are reflected on the iPod.
On the iPod Classic (this is the crucial part):
Remove "Compilations" from the Main and the Music menus.
Look in Settings/Main Menu>Compilations and make sure there is no tick next to Compilations.
Look in Settings/Music Menu>Compilations and make sure there is no tick next to Compilations.
In both cases, scroll to the Compilations and press the select (centre) button to toggle the tick on and off.
Artists who only appear on Compilation albums should now be visible in the Artists menu.

Artists missing from store?

I've noticed when I went to go purchase more music by a few Japanese pop artists they no longer appear in the iTunes Store. Rather disappointing as now the only option I have to purchase music by the artists is to import the physical CDs directly from an import specialist.
I was wondering if somewhere on the iTunes/Apple site any information as to why certain artists are pulled from the store.

The upgrade to 100% iTunes Plus this month coincided with the disappearance of quite a few Japanese artists from the iTunes Store.
I have not seen any announcement from either Apple or the labels on the reasons.
You can check other online music download stores, or you can buy CDs.

Artists missing from list?

Hi
I have a 80gb Classic, and loaded a new album on yesterday.... I can navigate to the album via 'Albums', but the artist doesn't appear in the 'Artists' category.
I've checked and the artists name is there when you play it, and I've tried reloading it...
Does anyone have any ideas? Will I have to restore factory setting and reload?
Thanks!
Ben

If the artist has at least one track that is not in a compilation then all the albums they appear on, including compilations, are listed under their artist entries. If they ONLY appear on compilations then they are normally excluded from the artists menu. To make the artist menu display ALL artists go to the Settings menu and uncheck *Main Menu > Compilations* and *Music Menu > Compilations*.

Firefox logo missing from new browser; would like to see it so I can know at a glance which browser I am using.

Bring back the logo or something else to allow quick identification of browser. Chrome doesn't have its logo in the browser either so now it going be harder to tell between the two. Is this a contest to see which can be more self effacing?

You can click the 3-bar Firefox menu button and open the Customize window.<br />
At the bottom of this window there is a button to enable showing the title bar.

Some artists missing from the "following" list

I noticed that there are some artists that I follow who do not appear in the "following" list of my profile.
This is a problem when I forget the name of some of my followed artists and I don't find them no longer on the list, loosing this way the possibility to listen to him forever!
Someone else has the same problem? How can I solve it? there is no other way to access the full list of all my artists?
many thanks in advance

recently started using Spotify, so far so good, but following artists and saving albums is important to me, since that's the point of using Spotify for me and if that part is not working properly, why keep track of things that can't be tracked and personalized. I follow a lot of artists and also have saved (not downloaded) albums of these and also non-followed artists.Some of these artists and albums don't show up again in my "Your Music" section under Artists and Albums, they appear in "Recently Played" if I have listened to these. My specific example is for Artist: Biréli Lagréne(not trying to promote the artis here, but that's how I noticed)I click follow, then save some of the albums (all actually) and the next time I m using Spotify the artist is not followed and the albums are not saved, (I have downloaded one Album to test if that cements the artist and album into my list?, just to see what happens)
