Artists showing up as Various artists when I sync music with my iPhone 4S, even though in iTunes the song tags have been changed

My artists are showing up as Various artists when I sync music with my iPhone 4S, even though in iTunes the song tags have been changed.
Am I missing something?
For example, I have 3 songs that are part of a compilation CD. I've change them to no longer being part of a compilation, and changes all of the tags of Arist and Album artist to the artists name, however they still show up as 'Various Artists' on my iPhone.
Any ideas?

You may find you need to remove the songs and then add them back again.

Why when I play music with my iPhone, it will always go to the previous song on the list?

When I select a song on the playlist, it will always go to the song I select for a second and jump to the previous song on the list immediately, but i didn't press anything. It was like my iPhone automatic pressed backward when I select a song.

Check the song and see if repeat is activated. Down in the bottom left corner is repeat when the music is running. It would have a colored box around it if it is active. It would either read Repeat Song, or Repeat Playlist.

Check the section in the User Guide for Music, It might help you navigate around the app a little better: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
To reiterate, some reasons you may not be getting Albums group as you want:
Songs are not properly tagged in itunes prior to synching (you should also make sure Album Artist is tagged, BTW)
You are using the wrong view in the Music app

You probably want to open a ticket with the maker of the app.

Try download and install the latest iTunes 10.6.3 just reoleased yesterday and try out.

When I try to update my apps, I keep getting the message that there is a problem with my billing information even though this is the billing information I have always used in purchasing my apps. What do I do?

Hello levon10
Just delete the song and then go through the process of downloading the purchase again.

Here's how iTunes works. You add a file to iTunes. iTunes makes a note of where that file is located, gets information from it about artist, etc, and writes the information to its library file. iTunes doesn't look at that file again until you play it. It knows where to find it when it needs it. However, sometimes things happen so the file is no longer where iTunes expects it to be. In many cases this is because the user has renamed a file or folder in the file's pathway, or moved the file. In extreme cases it can happen because a hard drive is dying.
When iTunes invites you to find the file, it is asking you to do exactly that. If you renamed the file you need to remember what you called it and where you put it and point to it to rebuild the link. Sometimes if people move all their files to different drive you need to point to one and iTunes may be able to find others given that information and assumptions as to where the others should be located relative to that.
It is also possible files have gone missing. In that case you need to restore them from their original source or a backup you make regularly of your computer knowing that some day it is 100% guaranteed your drive will fail and you will be very happy you have a copy of everything on another drive.

Only a few songs show up in a playlist on my iPhone, even though all of the songs in the playlist are on my phone. How do I fix this?

I uploaded a playlist onto my iPhone. After going into Music, and into the specific playlist, only one song showed up in the playlist. After that, I decided to search my phone to see if any of the other songs had made it on there. All of the songs that were supposed to be on my playlist made it onto my phone. Why are they not showing up in my playlist if they are on the phone? Please help me!

Are you sure you have selected the PL? I too have had problems and then finally fiogured out which path to select to see the tunes. For some reason the PL got moved to a deeper level.

The program selected for NZB files doesn't show in the open with/download dialog box even though it is the default in Options window - Applications panel

Grabbit is listed as the default program for opening NZB files in the Applications panel. When I try to open an NZB file it is not automatically selected, nor is it on the list of optional programs. Consequently, I have to click through the list of installed programs in Windows and point Firefox to grabbit.exe.
Although the file is listed as Grabbit NZB in the Applications panel rather than just "NZB", I didn't have a bit of a problem when I had XP installed.

1) Well, I can set IE as the default program for html/htm files, as well as any other browsers/text editors. There is no issue in setting the default program for html/htm files. This issue is- htm/html files can't be opened when I click on 'open' option
(like temporary internet files get opened) just to view the files in IE when I set IE as default program for htm/html files. Please note that this issue is only when I click 'open' just to view the file. If I download and save the file, the file opens
in IE perfectly when IE is set as default program.
2) Regarding clicking 'open' button:- I want that if default program for opening htm/html files is set as IE, when I click the open button, the file should get opened in IE (as temporary internet files open). This is not happening when I set IE as default
program for htm/html files.
3) Files do get opened when I click 'open' button in IE, but ONLY WHEN default program is some other browser/text editor. And yes they get opened in the browser/text editor which is THEN set as default program.
4)Yes, I've tried turning protected mode off, lower the security level, set custom level to medium/medium-low but no benefit as such.
5) If I download/save the file, and then open the file, with default program set as IE, the files get opened successfully. I think the issue is that IE is not opening htm/html files as temporary internet files (when user just tries to view/open the
attachment rather than download/save it) when default program is set as IE itself. Is this expected behavior?

How do I delete messages on my iPhone? Even though I drag the messages to Trash, 'message' with no content still shows up on list.

Even though I drag email message to Trash to delete them, 'message' (s) with no content still shows up on my email In box. How do I get rid of these??
Thanks in advance!

Drag email messages on an iPhone? I don't think so...
Try to Reset your device: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

Hi.
The song that it stops on, can you play it in iTunes? Have you tried to sync without this song in your library?

So I had my photostream on when i first go it but then I turned it off and the photos should have been deleted. Somehow when I go to my settings usage photos, it still shows me that it takes up 2.3GB. How do I delete this?

Some help would be appreciated.

When you look at that button that says "Photos & Camera" and shows you the 2.3GB number, it should have an arrow at the right side.
Click the button. It will break down where the 2.3GB are located. They may, for example, be on your camera roll.

ITunes crashes when I sync music with iphone.

I use OS X Lion, iTunes 10.4 and iphones iOS 4.3.3. I've upgraded both iTunes and Iphone but nothing helps. I can sync everything but music. What's worse; when my iphone is connected it says that my music IS synced, but my Iphone says that there is no music on it. What to do?

Wow, I just deleted my playlist that I had and that fixed the problem..
