Can't find artist under artist catagory only albums

with ipod classic an only find elton john listed under albums "various artist" and can't find under artists alone, any ideas?

This is either because:
Elton John only appears on Compilation (Various Artists) albums
Albums by Elton John  in your Library are marked as Compilation albums (or rather, every track on the album is marked as Part of a Compilation.)
Do you have any Elton John albums, or does he appear only on Compilations?
There is a fix (sort of...)
On your iPod Classic, remove the Compilations from both the Main Menu and the Music Menu. Go to Settings/Main Menu and un-tick Compilations. Do the same for the Settings/Music Menu. As a result, every artist on your iPod will now be listed under Artists, even if that artist is only on a Compilation album.
In your iTunes Library, make sure that Greatest Hits albums (by one artist) are not marked as Part of a Compilation. Also, make sure that albums that really are compilations are marked as Part of a Compilation. To do that, highlight the complete album and select File/Get Info/Options>Part of a Compilation>Yes/No. If it already says the one you want, turn it to the other and then back to your choice again, to make sure every track says the correct thing.
Again, in your iTunes Library, make sure that Various Artists albums have the following field filled in with "Various Artists": File/Get Info/Info>Album Artist. Make sure it is the Album Artist field, not the Artist field.
Then Sync the IPod to iTunes for the changes to take effect on the iPod. (This doesn't work if you use Manually Manage.)

  • Saw a poss solution to my prob of loosing tab groups when closing firefox It read ". Edit Preferences Privacy "I can't find prefernces under the edit menu"

    I saw a poss solution to my prob of loosing tab groups when closing firefox It read ". Edit > Preferences > Privacy "I can't find references under the edit menu" so cannot attempt the fix offered?

    Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
    You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    See also:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder.
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

    Click on the Apple symbol in the top left of the screen and select About this Mac. Click on More Info and scroll down to the USB entry under hardware. Does it list the 'Built in iSight' in the top right hand pane?
    If it does, what happens when you run the Photo Booth application?

  • After I connect with my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.

    After I connect my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.
    switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
    This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
    (Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
    You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
    In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.

  • Ford sync can't find artist

    Anyone have a problem finding artists on the ford sync touch?  I can say play track/song X and it finds it and plays it, but I can't say play artist X because it will repeat what I said and then nothing happens.  If I go to browse artists on the Ford touchscreen, it only shows the first 2 artists on my ipod touch and the rest are missing.  I've searched and searched on the Syncmyride website and can't find anyone else talking about this exact issue. 

    Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

  • ITunes can't find artists beginning with THE

    My music collection was getting too large for my internal hard drive so I changed the location of my iTunes folder to my external drive, where there was already a back up of all my music. This I create by directly copying the itunes music folder every so often. Keep itunes organised is checked. When I changed the folder location, it did updating library, then asked if I wanted to organise the folder which I did.
    However now, it won't find certain tracks/albums, says the orignal file location cannot be found do I want to locate...
    It appears that itunes can't find any track whose artist begins with the word THE, although they are in folders called "The...." in the correct music folder.
    I just updated to the latest version of itunes.
    Does anyone know what might be going on???

    Something similar happened to me. iTunes could not find any music that had the track number at the beginning of the name (an option in Advanced->Import section). My purchased music also had track numbers, but I don't know if Apple did that, or if my own iTunes did it.
    At some point, I had turned off this option, so all the songs I imported after that were found just fine. When I deleted the track numbers from the file names, iTunes found them just fine. I have way too many files to change all the name manually however. Changing the naming option in the iTunes preferences did not make a difference to the problem.

  • I bought some alerts last year, can't find them under purchased. Any ideas?

    They were downloaded onto my iphone, I have now upgraded and they haven't come across.
    I've looked under purchases and can't find them, however when I tried to re-buy them itunes said you have already purchased these, so its still stored somewhere?!
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Nic

    They will only be where you put them.
    You get one download.  As always, it is your responsibility to back them up
