HT5637 My Ipod Touch 4 with IOS 6.1.5 (new to me) is not associating all my albums with the artists.  All the music is there, it's just not in the right place.  Can you help an Apple novice?

I'm new to this so please forgive me if I'm not using the correct terms.  My ITunes version is 11.1.3.8.  For years I had an IPod Classic and it worked perfectly with all my music where I wanted it.  Unfortunately, it was recently stolen.  I bought a used/wiped clean 64GB IPod Touch 4 loaded with iOS 6.1.5.  I've tried to load my music twice and both times I'm getting the same odd results  While everything is properly associated in ITunes once I load and sync the IPod Touch there are several albums that are not associated with the Artist.  I'll explain further.  I prefer to sort my ITunes library and IPod by Artist.  So when I pull up some (not all) Artists on my IPod Touch some Albums that should be there are missing.  I say they are missing, they are there.  The total song count on ITunes matches that on the IPod Touch and if I sort by Album name, I can find the album that does not appear when I sort by Artist.  The reason I want to fix this issue is I appreciate a wide variety of music and I can envision me looking for an artist and not finding them and not being able to remember the name of the album.  The Rolling Stones are easy and I know how many albums they have an how many I have.  Smaller groups that may have only one album are more problematic.  Unless I randomly come accross the song I might never be able to find it or listen to it.  I know lots of people have more music than I do so I'm not bragging, but my library has 414 different artists spread across 1402 albums and I can't always remember what I own.  Speaking of owning, I own the physical CDs for the vast majority of my music so I don't think it's a situation of previously ripped music not showing up or not being formatted correctly.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hey there jcgoutcher!
I believe your iPod may be set to group albums by album artist, which is a setting that can be turned off in your music settings. I will provide a link below that can help illustrate where to find this setting:
Music settings - iPhone

While the article in the link above is written for the iPhone, the setting will be found in the same place on your iPod touch. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • The firefox page constantly says "Connecting" and will not load any websites. I've also updated the firefox software via internet explorer with the same reslults can you help?

    Internet explorer works perfectly and firefox will not load any websites

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • HT1420 I am unable to authorise my iPod Classic on my new harddrive.  All previous hardrives over the years have crashed or been repaired and I never deuathorised the iPod at the time. Can you help me to authorise it please?

    I am unable to authorise my iPod Classic on my new hard drive.  All previous hard drives have crashed or been repaired and I never deauthorised the iPod at the time. Can you help me to authorise it please?

    Hello zoefromoranmore,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    In order to deauthorize devices which you no longer have, you will have to use the deauthorize all command, found in the article below.
    Deauthorize all computers
    If need to deauthorize your computer but you can't access it, you need to deauthorize all computers. After you authorize 2 computers, you'll have the option to deauthorize all computers for your Apple ID. You can deauthorize all computers once per year.
    Why should I deauthorize all of my computers?
    To make sure that only you can play your content, or to free up authorizations used by your old computers. Here's when you should deauthorize all computers:
    Your computer doesn't work anymore
    You sold or gave away a computer and didn't deauthorize it first
    What happens when I deauthorize all computers? Will I lose my content?
    Just like deauthorizing a single computer, you won't delete anything if you choose to deauthorize all computers. You just won't be able to play content that you bought from iTunes on those computers until you reauthorize them. You need to have the computer to reauthorize it.
    How do I deauthorize all of my computers?
    Using one of your authorized computers, follow these steps:
    Open your account in iTunes (you may need to sign in with your Apple ID). Or open iTunes, click Store > Sign In, and enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Deauthorize All.
    The Deauthorize All button appears only if you have more than 2 authorized computers. If you don't see the Deauthorize All button, that means you only have one authorized computer.
    I deauthorized all of my computers. What should I do now?
    Reauthorize each computer that you want to use with iTunes. Go to Store > Authorize this computer and enter your Apple ID and password.
    Deauthorize your computer using iTunes

    my itouch 4th gen refuses to switch off and i am unable to change the volume.  Can you help?

    - Have you tried resetting the iPOd:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connec the iPod to its syncing computer and try to restore the iPod.
    - The if still same. place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • Since i have upgradet my ipod touch 3g with the new 5.0.1 version,  i can`t upload music or pictures or apps or anything else. the synchronize button is gray and allows nothing. the i tunes version is the 10.5.3 ... please help me!

    since i have upgradet my ipod touch 3g with the new 5.0.1 version,  i can`t upload music or pictures or apps or anything else. the synchronize button is gray and allows nothing. the i tunes version is  10.5.3 ... please help me!

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • I try to buy a magazine from I tune store they kept the money but i couldnt download the magazin. Can you help me please

    I try to buy a magazine from I tune store they kept the money but i couldnt download the magazin. Can you help me please

    Hello nasiatoska,
    It sounds like you were charged for a magazine, but it was never downloaded to your iPhone.  I found an article that has some steps to assist with this:
    Newsstand-compatible apps automatically move to Newsstand. Tap and hold apps to arrange them in Newsstand.
    Note: You cannot drag other publications into Newsstand.
    If a subscription app or publication does not appear in Newsstand, verify that the app supports the Newsstand feature.
    Newsstand updates subscriptions only when using a Wi-Fi connection. If you aren't seeing the latest issue:
    Verify that you are connected to a Wi-Fi network.
    Check Settings > Store to verify that automatic download is enabled for that publication.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Using Newsstand
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4943
    If you are still not able to access the magazine after following those steps, you may want to report a problem with the magazine purchase using the steps in this article:
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBookstore purchase

    Resolve communication issues
    Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.
    Common errors: 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, or 3000-3999. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software", or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build".

    i us iphon in syria and i have problem in the mic how can you help me

    Try to Reset it (hold down the home and sleep buttons, ignore the red off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons).
    If that does not work try Restoring it in iTunes.
    Still no go? You will need to get it serviced.

  • Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to  OS 10.6.8.  Bought the upgrade online so cannot reload the software.  Can you help?

    Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to  OS 10.6.8.  Bought the upgrade online so cannot reload the software.  Can you help?

    How did you buy it online? Did you buy a registration number from the Apple Store?
    Then you can download the Trial version from this link:
        Aperture 3.1 Trial 
    and run Software Update immediately after installing.
    Go to the Applications folder and delete Aperture.
    Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.
    Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
    Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
    After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
    Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to  OS 10.6.8. 
    But what exactly is the error you get, when you try to launch Aperture? Maybe you need to do more than updating.
