How do I get song lyrics to display?

How do I get song lyrics to display on my iPod Touch 4g and iPad 2?
The lyrics are in iTunes. They do display on my iPod Touch 2g.
I did try a reset on the iPod Touch 4g, but did not fix problem.
Thanks to anybody who can help

The word "lyrics" is never displayed, but if you paste lyrics into a song, they'll be shown when you press the centre button "enough" times. Note that if there are _no lyrics_ associated with the song (because you didn't put them there) the "button pushes" will take you from On/Off (the shuffle feature) to Play - no mention of lyrics!
I hope that helps!

  • How do I get song lyrics entered in the GetInfo song link to sync properly with my other devices?

    I'm running iTunes on a Windows 7 machine, and sometimes the lyrics sync up properly and sometimes not; sometimes only on one device, and not the others. Syncing via wifi or manually, or from the computer based iTunes or from the actual device produces the same inconsistent results. Suggestions?

    - You need at least iOS 2 for apps. Go to Settings>General>About>version to find the iOS version. If you have a 1G iPod you can get the last update for that model here:
    Identifying iPod models
    -- The app store can also be hidden by Restrictions. Go to Settings>general>Restrictions to check
    - Have you used the Spotlight search, maybe you just can't find it.

  • HT203167 lost my hard drive how can i get songs from ipod back to new computer

    I lost my hard drive and want to get my music back on my new computer. How can I get songs from my ipod to my computer? I am afraid to sync it and losing what is on my ipod. Any help would be appreciated.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(7 and using VISTA).

    How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(i'm using iTunes7 and Vista).
    I don't have the disc, cause i can't find it. But my computer downloaded the ipod, it just cant find the files?
    i've been looking through the topics for the past hour and none of them helped. Maybe i'm stupid i dont really know, but i've restored my old computer a couple times and i found a post and it helped both times. now i can't find it anymore.
    THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN SEEING AND IT DOESN'T HELP ME ONE BIT:
    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
    Can someone give me a link, or tell me one that shows step by step.

    Here is a way of doing it, for another take on this, search the forum for posts by Zevoneer.
    Copy from iPod to PC
    It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
    You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
    Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.

    If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2586win.html
    However this is not allowed for other music.
    This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
    http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
    Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

    It sounds like you essentially have a new computer and unless you restored from a backup your iTunes library would be empty.  You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    SInce you changed syncing computers. after you move the stuff you need to restore the iPod to factory defaults and sync the stuff back to your iPod.  If you had the iPod backup file you could restore from backup.
    If you have non-iTunes pruchases you can copy them to your computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion:

  • How do I get a 0 to display when a count = 0 (zero)? (The cell is blank)...

    (Running Business Objects Release 2 (Web-I), No other reporting modules)
    How do I get a 0 to display when a count = 0 (zero)? (The cell is blank)...
    In my reports, I count the number of tests of one of our products and another count on the number of failures.  I then use a simple formula to give me the defect rate percentage (DR%)
    The universe objects used in the calculation are:
    Assembly Number (dimension)
    Human Sn (dimension)
    Test Code Description (dimension)
    I created a variable (called [Count Assys]) that counts the number of Assemblies Tested:
    Formula: =Count([Assembly Number];All)
    Another variable (called [Failed Count]) counts the number of failed tests:
    Formula: =Count([Test Code Description];All) Where ([Test Code Description] <> "FUNCTIONAL TESTS PASSED")
    NOTE: There is a "not equal to sign" between [Test Code Description] and "FUNCTIONAL..." above, but the forum is blanking it when I preview the message.  Not a big deal, but it may be important for someone looking to help...
    I then have a third variable called [DR%] that divides [Failed Count] into the number of [Count Assys], which yields a number formatted as a percentage.
    Formula: =[Failed Count]/[Count Assys]
    The above works great! 
    The problem is: when I have a zero defect count (everything passes), the cell is blank, so the percentage variable remains blank.  I want a zero (0) to appear if nothing failed so the percentage appears as 0%
    I've searched this forum completely and have tried several Properties changes and different variable strings (like =If([Failed Count]<1,0) and the cell stays blank and cannot come up with an answer.
    This one seems simple to me, but everything I've tried has yielded zero <smile> results.
    Thanks,
    Charles

    Hi Charles,
    Use [Dr%] Variable formula as =if(IsNull([Dr%]);0;[DR%])
    Here IsNull returns the Boolean value of variable [Dr%] if its true then inserts 0 else the percentage values of failed tests based on the  total number of assembly tests performed.
    I Hope this is what you want to achieve....
    Thanks....

  • How do you get songs off of itouch when it has been sycned with another computer

    How do you get songs off an ipod touch to a new computer when the ipod touch has been synced with another computer.  The other computer died.  Thanks!

    You don't.  Unless they were purchased from the iTunes store, then you can go to File > Transfer purchases.  Or you can right click (ctrl click if you're on a Mac) on the name of the device in the source list in iTunes and then choose Transfer purchases.

    I tried:

    This doesn't work.
    The App was created using REALStudio.  Does this have any bearing on the issue?

    Hi, if the App is in the Dock, right click, choose Options>Open at login.
    Or System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window, drag the App there or click on the tiny plus icon to add it.
