HT1535 iphone 4 missing albums after I sync

How come some albums to not appear in my list of artists on my iPhone, but when I search for a song on the album that is missing, the entire album is on the phone?

Even more strangely, all the albums I have checked in iTunes on my iMac show in "Music" but almost all the songs are greyed out, with a few random ones showing. When synching the iPhone to theiMac a long blue bar indicates that the music is there but it doesn't transfer to the iPhone. The files on the iMac play fine via iTunes on the iMac.
I have done a full "Restore" but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?

IPod lists multiple listings of 2 albums after I sync

I bought The Joshua Tree (Remastered) [Deluxe Edition] and Live from Paris from iTunes almost two years ago. This year I decided to purchase The Unforgettable Fire (Remastered) [Deluxe Edition] and upgrade all of my U2 Remasters to iTunes Plus. I ALWAYS buy the Deluxe Editions. Anyway, I upgraded everything but Live from Paris. I noticed that after I synced my iPod, the iPod was listing The Joshua Tree and Live from Paris each three times.
This is how they were listed:
The Joshua Tree (Remastered) [Deluxe Edition]
2 Songs
Live from Paris
1 Song
The Joshua Tree (Remastered) [Deluxe Edition]
4 Songs
Live from Paris
1 Song
The Joshua Tree (Remastered) [Deluxe Edition]
17 Songs
Live from Paris
16 Songs
But when you click on each album title, every song is listed in the correct order. Searching through the iTunes folder, no song is duplicated, and no song is missing. iTunes says I have 447 U2 songs, yet my iPod says I have 430.
I upgraded Live from Paris to iTunes Plus to see if this would correct the problem; it didn't.
I have a 160gb iPod Classic from 2007, I am running Windows 7 (although I am confident this is not a Windows issue), I am running the latest version of iTunes (v9.1.1.12) and this problem has occured a couple of previous versions of iTunes ago.
Something is up with my iPod. My question is: has anyone else encountered this problem with the U2 albums I've mentioned or with any album by any other group?

UPDATE: The problem lies in the duplication of tracks and placed in the wrong spots. On "The Joshua Tree", I hear the live version of "Trip Through Your Wires" from "Live from Paris" instead of the studio version from "The Joshua Tree" you would normally expect to hear. When I click on "Exit", I hear the live version from "Live from Paris" instead of the studio version from "The Joshua Tree". Those two songs on "The Joshua Tree" have the same file sizes and same running times as their counterparts from "Live from Paris", and you are hearing the live versions instead of the studio versions. So when I upgraded "The Joshua Tree" to iTunes Plus format, iTunes slipped me the live versions of "Trip Through Your Wires" and "Exit" taken from "Live from Paris". This is NOT what I want.
And my iPod STILL lists the albums like this:
The Joshua Tree
2 Songs
Live from Paris
1 Song
The Joshua Tree
4 Songs
Live from Paris
1 Song
The Joshua Tree
17 Songs
Live from Paris
16 Songs
The Deluxe Edition of "The Joshua Tree" that I bought has 25 tracks, and my iPod doesn't list that.
"Live from Paris" has 18 tracks -- same problem.
How can I get Apple to correct everything???

In Itunes I can change the name of my music, the names of albums and stuffs .. but in my iphone nothing change after the sync ..; What should I do? HELP!

(sorry for my bad english)

If you had "Find My iPhone" enabled in Settings > iCloud then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it. If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPhone" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPhone" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

Missing albums after converting catalog from PSE 6 to PSE 7

Images converted with no problem but all albums are missing from the album list. is their another step or process in converting the albums?
thanks

I lost my primary hard drive where PSE 6 and all picture files were stored but fortunately had it backed up on a web service backup.
Upon attemptint to reinstall PSE 6 to my new replacement hard drive (same PC as original) I could not find the exe file to get PSE 6 to launch and grew aggravated. I then downloaded the free trial of PSE 7 instead and :
1) imported my 11K pictures directly in to PSE7 with no issue except that the album info was not present
2) in an attempt to get the album info I then converted my PSE6 catalog file .psa to a PSE7 catalog but the album info did not come across
What can I do to either get my album info in PSE7 or going back to the root of the problem reinstall PSE6 and get it to launch?
Again I never could find the exe file to get my backup copy of PSE 6 to launch
Thanks

Missing albums after reinstallation of photoshop elements 12.

I have just restored my catalog after a reinstallation of photoshop elements 12 due to some corruption on my laptop (not in photoshop). I have the images but my albums aren't there, it is just showing the folders on the external harddrive where the images are held. Can anyone advise?

Hi, I tried the reinstall but the restore hasn’t worked. When set up for restore catalogue from my back tly file. It said that it was an incremental back requiring 7 discs but I have only ever backed up to the same back up file. After initiating the restore it asked for the next file but there was only the one file.

Why lost Missing Files & Missing Albums after conversion to Mac?

I have 2 issues. Firstly, by Reconnecting for Missing Files, the system searches but never finds the photos. Is there another way of reconnecting my Missing Files. These appear to be photos which I enhanced on Elements but saved to My Piictures or photos imported from another camera to my laptop. Secondly, I wanted to transfer all my photos on to a new Mac from my Windows laptop. I have downloaded the Elements to Mac on the Mac but when I backed up all photos to an external hard drive from Windows, then loaded to my Mac, all the photos came across but none of my Albums. Where can I go from here please? Any advice gratefully received. Many thanks.

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your reply. I would appreciate any help you can offer.
I am using PSE 11 and this was installed on my old Windows laptop (which I have been using for a couple of years now) and the Mac version on my new MacBook Pro. Both discs were supplied with the original purchase of Elements 11 but I had not used the Mac version until now.
I loaded the Mac version of Elements to my Mac and this opened just fine but obviously with no photos showing.
I backed up my photos on Elements/Windows on to a new external hard drive, then plugged that hard drive into my Mac. I then transferred my photos from the external hard drive into the Elements on my Mac. All the photos came over but NOT the Albums to which my 10,000 photos had all been allocated in my Windows version.
I know that some 500 photos are "Missing" but I think that this is a different matter (see my original Forum Question log).
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
Stephen

Missing albums after updating

Why did my albums and folders disappear when I updated Elements 11?

I did get the folders back by importing them from My Pictures but not the albums. All the versions are still misssing.There is nothing in the recycle .
If you installed PSE11 on the same computer than your older version, you should not have to 'import' your files. Importing does not restore your old catalog.
You should simply use the catalog manager in the PSE11organizer to 'convert' the catalog of your old version. This does not change anything to your picture files, that only create a new catalog copy in the PSE11 format.

Merging contacts between iphone and Outlook rather than syncing

I want to be able to update a contact on iphone and in Outlook and when I sync I want the contacts to merge.
At the moment they seem to sync so if I have deleted on old phone number in Outlook but it is still on iphone it reappears after the synce and vice versa.
I want to merge so I can edit freely on both devices and on syncing be given the choice what information to accept or reject (like my Nokia E51 used to).

My iPod 4G, after reset and iOS 6 install, now has only some album art after syncing music. Even music directly downloaded from iTunes is missing album art. (I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista)

My iPod 4G, after a reset and iOS6 install, after I recopied and synced music, is missing most album art. Even songs directly downloaded from iTunes are missing album art. I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista. My iPod isn't full. Whenever I go to "On This iPod" and add album art and sync, nothing happens. Please help :/

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Grayed out, unplayable songs and missing album art on iPhone after 5.1 update with iTunes 10.6

I have been having these problems on my iPhone since the above updates. First, the grayed out songs: I have my iTunes account set to sync over the air with wifi. I charge my iPhone overnight, but sometimes when I unplug the iPhone in the morning, a great majority of the songs get grayed out and unplayable. I can see the songs listed, but they don't play. I then have to sync the iPhone on my iMac in iTunes to enable all the grayed out songs to be re-copied to the iPhone. As if that isn't inconvenient enough, I now am encountering missing album art for every song on my iPhone. All the album art exists in my iTunes account on my iMac, but I can't get the album art to appear on my iPhone. This literally happened overnight one day ago and I can't figure out how to get the album art back. I do have sufficient storage space on my iPhone, so that possible explanation is eliminated.
Re: the grayed out songs: what is causing this and is there any way to avoid it?
Re: the missing album art: again, what is causing it and how can I restore the art to my iPhone?

Unfortunately, the only solution to this problem was to restore my iPhone. Many hours later, the problem was resolved, but for how long?

HT1296 Calendar items created on my Iphone 4S are not showing up in the Calendar on my MacPro after USB Sync.. even though they are still on the phone... ideas???

In the Event mode use the View ➙ Sort ➙ By Date ➙ Decending menu option. Then the latest imports will be near the top of the Event window (depending on when the photos were taken of course).
Or Control-Click on one of the thumbnails in the Last Import album and select Show Event from the contextual menu:

I've just restored my new iphone 6 from my iCloud backup but only 2 of my music albums have been restored where are my missing albums

II've just got an iphone 6 and set it up using my iCloud backup . Everything has restored perfectly except I've only got 2 of my music albums what has happened to the rest

IIf you purchased them from iTunes then the missing albums May be in itunes on your computer. Make sure they are selected in the Music TSB and sync your iPhone. If you purchased them on your iPhone you can download them again. if you copied the missing albums from CDs that you own you should find the albums in your iTunes library.

See my reply to a later simplified version of your question. I don't think that either iPhone or iPad recognize RAW files such as NEFs. And the iPhone is not designed to be a mass storage device like a portable flash or portabel hard drive for temporary storage of files, if that's what you're after. As I mentioned in my previous reply, I have an iPad and have been experimenting with it as a tool for photography, hoping that it would be a nice travel tool for backing up and viewing photos from my Nikon dslr. But both the iPad and iPhone just are not set up to do that well. Both show photos nicely, but organization of photos is very frustrating since you can't create albums on the iPhone or iPad, but only back on your sync computer. (There is one very powerful photo organization app called SortShots, but you import photos to it and it organizes and stores the images wtihin the app not using the native photo app. It doesn't work with NEFs either.) I don't know of any RAW processing software for either device.
