Certain artists, albums not showing on ipod but do show in Library. Why?

My 60 gb ipod is synced with my Itunes library - which has all my cd's downloaded into it. However, even though an artist or album may show in my Itunes library, it doesn't show on my ipod.
For instance Maroon 5 Songs About Jane CD doesn't show when I search Maroon 5 in Artists or Maroon 5 in Genre but it does show when I look up the album name in Album. With nearly 1000 albums on my ipod, I'm not always able to remember an album name.
How do I fix this?

This is a very annoying problem that I have encountered myself. The only way I found to fix this is in iTunes (when the iPod is connected) to go into the iPod's music list to where the artist is and edit the artist's name (this can also be done with the track title as well). Sometimes there is an extra space at the end of the name, or even before hand. Just make sure it's the proper name/title and that there aren't any unwanted spaces added to it. Once you do this, the iPod should recognize that the song is there when it's disconnected.
Hope this helps you.

My Ipod is Classic is not showing any podcasts which I have downloads either on the library within itunes or on the ipod but is showing in the syncing section some 3300 plus podcasts but even after syncing they are noty showing on the library or on the Ipod am missing a step here as I have ticked all before syncing ??
Is this a software failure ?

I have sorted it myself!!
Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

Aging in Ar not showing any transaction but its showing all the payments

Hi can anyone help in regard of this problem
when i am going to run 7bucket aging report in AR it doesn't showing any transaction but it shows only receipts.
even the transaction is due i don't know why its not showing any transaction
we have just get upgraded to 12 release.
Regards
Nishant

I am suspecting the Transaction is not stamped with Legal entity, since you mention you have recently upgraded to r12.
Just see the comment section at the end of this page, it will give you some idea about legal entity consideration for transaction.

Check the status of all transactions, are they posted to GL. This cann't be a case..as receipt you are getting.

Good news: I found a solution.
Start iTunes, remove all your voice memos from your library (back them up if you need them), quit iTunes. Restart Finder. Done. I hope that helps!

IPads (3) show updates available but none show up in the screen

all of my iPhone (2) have the updates, my iPads (3) show updates available but none show up in the screen. I've restored all of them even going so far as to remove them from iCloud for iTunes and then putting them back on.

IT's a glitch on Apple's server. You can either wait it out or if you want to update your apps, go to the App store and the purchased tab and scroll through your apps. The ones with updates will have banners on them and you can update them that way.

"Sort Artist" does not work on iPod / How to sort by album artist

I have many albums in my music collection that contain songs by different artists. In iTunes, I have set all these songs to the same "Sort Artist" so that they all appear under the same artist's name (the album artist's name).
However, when I sync my iPod, the "Sort Artist" settings don't carry over. For example, a compilation album with 10 songs by 10 different artists would show up under one single artist in iTunes (per my sort artist settings), but on the iPod the songs show up under 10 different artists. Is there any way to fix this problem? I basically want to sort my music by album artist, instead of just the artist.
The strange part is when I browse my iPod on my computer, the compilation albums are properly sorted under one artist, but it's still wrong when I browse on the iPod itself.

It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.
You should also check that the songs have album name info in their ID tags.
See: Some songs don't show under artist on my iPod.
Once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.
Providing the spelling for the artists is exactly the same of course.

Certain Artists Do Not Show Up On Artist List

I recently purchased a new iPod Classic and everything is lovely, but a few artists just aren't showing up on my artists list. The files are there - I can access the music in question through the album search feature - but the name does not show up. Out of my 50 gigs of music, there are only a handful of artists that I am having this problem with. I've tried reentering the names for each of the albums, but to know avail. Do you know why some artists/discs just aren't showing up on my main organizational menu? Thanks so much for the help.

Alternatively, just turn off the Compilation feature on the iPod -- go to +Settings / Main Menu+ and uncheck Compilation, and +Settings / Music Menu+ and uncheck Compilation.
I'm not sure that will do the trick. Artists not showing up on the Artist menu is usually because the album is marked a "Part of a Compilation" - as you say.
This is why, look what happens in this case; I have only two songs by the artist Oasis, one on the album *Acoustic 3* and the other on *Top of the Pops 2* . Both of these albums are true compilation albums, that is - they have songs by various artists on the one album and therefore the *album artist* is _various artists_ and it's marked as a compilation. As a result, the artist Oasis does not appear in my artist list. However, if I were to add an album where the only artist is Oasis, the *album artist* would be Oasis and therefore Oasis would appear in the artist list _and in that list_ would be all three albums! (The comp albums would only show the Oasis track of course.)
But there could be another reason! iTunes uses Gracenote to provide information about an album. If whoever created the Gracenote entry has listed an album as a compilation album (the compilation box is marked yes) because it is a _compilation of tracks by one artist but from different albums_ , guess what? It's a compilation! The album *The Whole Story* by Kate Bush is such an album. If that was the only album of hers that I had, she would not be on the artist list, but if I had her *Hounds of Love* album, she would be on the artist list and The Whole Story would show up!
I know - it drives you crazy!
The solutions: if a complete "one artist" album - The Whole Story for instance - is missing, go to *Get Info* for the whole album and mark the "Part of a Compilation" box as No . If you are about to import a new album, make sure the "Part of a Compilation" is off before importing it into iTunes. For a true compilation album (various artists) - that's a bit more difficult. Either accept it or, do you have one track (even the same one) from another album, or a CD single or single song that you can import to iTunes and mark as *not part of a compilation* ? If so, import it in order to create an entry for that artist.
By the way, while we are discussing all this - Greatest Hits albums. If you have albums by different artists but with the same album name, Greatest Hits for instance, add the artist name to the album title (Greatest Hits, Santana) so that your iPod can differentiate between their album and Greatest Hits, Alice Cooper. If you don't do this, when you look at Albums /album title you will see tracks from both albums together on one album.

Certain artist pictures not showing up on iPhone

Hello,
We all know that iOS 7 has artist pictures in the Music app that are default chosen by iTunes. For most of my artists, this new feature works perfectly fine, except for the artists that do not have a picture chosen by iTunes, and I'm ok with that. The thing that's irritating me beyond comprehension is the artists that i KNOW have a picture chosen by iTunes that refuses to show up on my iPhone 4. I'm 100% sure on the spelling and spacing and everything, but for about five artists on my iPhone, the picture will not come up.
Example:
(screenshot taken from the iTunes store). As you can see, this band has a picture. But on my iPhone, it won't show up--it just shows the album artwork of one of their albums. I have no idea if it has something to do with the unpopularity of the band or something, but I have deleted it off iTunes, synced my iPhone, added the songs back, synced my iPhone again and it still won't show up. So resyncing does not work. It's as if its encoded into the device or something bizarre like that.
I've tried the solutions posted onto this discussion: iOS 7 music app does not display artist pictures and has incorrect album art after master reset. but it only worked for my brand new song additions, which had not yet loaded the artist pictures. The songs by Fujifabric (band in the screenshot I inserted) I have had for over a year and the artist picture still has not come up.
It's a petty problem but as a mild perfectionist it's really a pain in the *ss. Thank you for any help.

Last night I downloaded 5 years worth of pictures from my iPhone to my iPhoto on my Mac book, I needed the space on my phone so I deleted all the photos when the pop up asked if I wanted to delete or keep. Before I did this I downloaded and installed the iPhoto app for iPhone and it seemed the pictures were showing up in the app.
And are the photos now showing in iPhoto on your Mac, or did that go wrong?
After I deleted and from the photo library on the phone and unplugged from Mac Book it seemed an update was happening and pics were loading to the app. This morning I checked and NOTHING is showing up in the iPhoto app besides photo stream and one shared folder.
What is it you expected to happen? iPhoto on your iPhone will show you all photos stored on your iPhone, but it does not show you the photos in iPhoto on your Mac. When you deleted the photos from your Camera Roll and the Photos.app on your iPhone, you deleted them also from iPhoto on the iPhone. The iPhoto app does not store photos , it just organized the photos that are stored elsewhere on the iPhone and shows them in one place.
If you want the photos back on your iPhone, create albums in iPhoto on your mac and then sync these albums to your iPhone using iTunes.

Songs not showing on 30gig iPod, but are showing on iTunes when attached

Hello. My iPod has about 5.25 gig of music, video and podcasts loaded. It was working fine. I connected it to my computer to charge and the next time I tried to use it, nothing is showing up on the iPod itself. However, when I reconnect it to my computer, the iPod shows up under Source and all of the playlists and songs are there. Also, when I go into Settings > About, it says Songs 0, Videos 0, Photos 0, Capacity 27.8 GB, Available 22.5 GB, Version 1.1.1, model MA146LL. Thanks for any help!

That backup only works if you have the files on the computer not on the ipod. You have the ability to take all the data off of your ipod but it will duplicate everything that is already in the library. To do this follow these steps:
This is what you will want to do, you will want to go into the tools menu in your windows explorer. Select folder options, click on the view tab. Once you are on the view tab, click on the folder that says hidden files and folders. On the hidden files and folders click show hidden files and folders. Then click ok on the folder options window. When you open the ipod now you will see the ipod control folder. In that folder there will be a music folder. Open that. There will be a number of folders that will begin with F00 you will want to go into the folder and you will see a bunch of song files with coded names. You will want to drag them to where it says library in itunes. The songs will automatically rename themselves to the correct name. Go through each one of the folders like this and your library will be restored.
The only thing that I would tell you is that this will duplicate all the songs in your library. So I would clear your entire library before you start this process

Showing in iPod but not iTunes

I recently received an iPod Touch and it's been working great so far. My primary use of it is to listen to podcasts on my way to work and home. All of them are downloaded from iTunes and transfered while syncing. The other day I somehow managed to have a "stranded" podcast on my iPod - it appears on the iPod, but not in iTunes so I am unable to remove it now that I've listened to it.
Any way to manage the music/podcasts that appear on the iPod but not in iTunes?

No problem. Have fun with your iPod.

Please help! Artist names not appearing in ipod after syncing!

Hey there everyone, I really really need some help with this problem that I have now had for 2 months. I have this problem on 3 different ipods so I know it is not a problem with the ipod, it is with itunes.
My itunes library is in perfect order and set up how I want it to be when in my ipod, e.g, every song has the artist, album and song name in the correct places in the 'get info' tab, and appears in the correct places in the itunes library.
However, when I synchronise my ipod with itunes, the artist tab in the ipod consistently says 'no artists'. However, the songs are in the songs tab and albums in the albums tab, but it doesn't register the artists. Because of this I can't search for the artists I want.
I have spoken to apple numerous times and they haven't been able to tell me what is wrong with it. I'm at my wits end with this and so greatly appreciate any help or advice anyone can give.
Things I have tried so far include, changing ipods, selecting all as part of a compilation, deleting the music from itunes and then putting back into itunes. None of this has worked.
Please help
Thanks

*When I rip CD's onto iTunes and then upload them onto my iPod some of them DON'T APPEAR ON THE 'ARTIST' section of my iPod Nano.*
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.
