I can't view artists name under title in compilations on my iphone

I am trying to find out a solution, but seems it's not solved yet.
On my Mac in iTunes my music collections is ordered by albums and compilations. All songs has a right tags. Albums has a Artists, Album Artists, Titles. Compilations has a check box Part of Compilation, Artist name, Title and Artist Album field are filed with Various Artists. But for some compilations I have deleted Album Artist just for experiment.
At iTunes all looks great, I have albums and compilation in that order what I want. But in my iPhone and iPad a cant see artist name under the songs title. It's uncomfortable and not user friendly as for me. Sure it's not an issue in albums when you have an one Artist and one his Album. But in compilation it's very complicated to find some tracks by title.
Please if you have any thoughts about how to view artists names in compilation under the tracks help me.
Thank you in advance.

I have found the same problem topic with some pictures. If it's helps.

IPhone 5 not showing artist name under each track in album view page like it used to

Hi. My iphone 5 is upto date software wise etc. When I go into music and select an album I get the track listing but no artist name under each track. All my music is correctly coded and it used to show up previously. Is this a change in the software or am I missing something? It's really annoying if you open a compilation as you have a track list but no way of knowing the artist unless you play the track.
Please help.

Hello Jimmy362,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Another poster on the Apple Support Communities had the same question about music on their iPod, and marked the post as solved:

Cannot view the names under the Main Navigator

Hello,
In the Main Navigator we have different type of segments. Under that for each and every segment we have different attributes assigned. For example the segments Food, Chemistry and Metal Processing. And for these we have different attributes assigned Main Industry Food and Main Industry Manufacturing Industry and Application Manufacturing Industry. But I cannot see the names under Manin Industry Manufacturing Industry where as I can see all the names under diffrent attributes. Can anyone help me how to view the names under Main Industry Manufacturing Industry.
Thnx in advance
Cheers
Murali

"Current iTunes Song" - How can I make artist name first THEN song title?

When I have "Current iTunes Song" selected, it shows the song title first and then the artist name. I would like it to be reversed so that people on my buddy list can easily see the artist instead of the song title.
I have been able to locate a very easy solution to this in the past, but that has seemed to vanish into thin air and I cannot find it.

You need this I Think.

View file names under images?

In iPhoto, the titles of all imported images were set to the file names and it was therefore possible to have the file names displayed under every image.
In Photos, titles can be viewed by selecting View > Metadata > Titles, but all titles are empty on newly imported images. There seems to be an option to view the file name as a separate field, by selecting View > Metadata > Referenced file. However, this option does nothing. But when I search for a file name, the correct images show up, so Photos obviously keeps track of the file names somehow.
So, how can I view the file names under every image, or import the file names into the titles?

OK, thanks.
I dug around a little and this definitely seems to be a bug in how the iPhoto library is converted to a Photos library. iPhoto didn't just display file names under the images. Rather, on import, iPhoto actually sets the image titles to the file names minus the file extensions (e.g. ".jpg"). But those titles, as well as the titles manually set in iPhoto, are not imported properly into the Photos library.
I located the Photos library database. It's in the library package > Database > apdb > Library.apdb. The file is in SQLite format and can be browsed and edited with e.g. "sqlitebrowser" (http://sqlitebrowser.org/).* In it, I found that there is a table called RKMaster, that holds information about all original images. RKMaster has an attribute called "name" that contains all the original image titles. This is not the same as the file name, which is a separate "fileName" attribute in the same table, which in my case contains the same information as the "name" attribute, but with file extensions.
Then there is another table, RKVersion. This table contains information about the different versions of all images and this information is the one actually being displayed when you use the application. RKVersion has attributes for "name" and "fileName" as well. In my Photos library, "name" is empty for all my newly imported images, but "fileName" has all the correct file names with file extensions. If I edit the database and insert something in the "name" attribute for an image, the name is then displayed as an image title in Photos.
I then opened the library file from my old iPhoto library and it has a similar structure. In its RKVersion table, all the "name" attributes are filled out and they contain all the image titles I want to see. So I can conclude that during the conversion from iPhoto to Photos, the "name" attributes were simply not copied over, and that is why all my images now lack titles.
I will try to find a way to copy this whole column from the iPhoto library into the Photos library, which should solve the problem.
* Please be aware that editing this file may cause irreversible damage to the library. Make sure there is a backup of the whole library before digging into these files.

Grid View artist names are entirely lower case

Hi,
in my grid view the artist names have changed to entirely lowercase, i.e "adele", yet on all the tracks Artist & Volume Artist shows as "Adele" any idea why this suddenly changed? and more importantly how I can change it back?
I've tried resetting the Artists and Volume Artist tags but this hasn't helped.
Thanks
Mark.

Neither would I.

If it bothers you, you can set other images as default grid artwork. Choose Get Info whilst on the grid view and you can paste in artwork which it will use as a default.
It does not bother me, it was something that I just noticed while looking over the Grid View to answer someone else’s questions.

Can't change artist name in iTunes 11

I can't edit the artist names in iTunes 11. I'll select a group of songs and then click "get info" and change the information, and the changes show in iTunes when I'm under "song" but when I sync my ipod or when I'm under the "artist" tab, they are still listed as diffrent artists.
Example:
I have Hillsong, Hillsong Live, and Hillsong United songs. I don't want them all the be under diffrent artists, I want them all to be Hillsong. So I select the songs, get info, change the name...and yet still, when I sync, I have Hillsong, Hillsong Live, and Hillsong United.
I hope this was clear, thank you!

Ah... another brilliant "feature" of iTunes 11! There are too many stupidities in this new version to even attempt to itemize here, but this one is truly amazing. I ran into this problem after buying some classical music from the iTunes Store. The tracks had the composer's name in the "artist" field and nothing in the "composer" field. Changing the contents of "artist" seems to work, as icsbicr noted, but then if you play the track, or do Cmd-I, or various other things, the artist changes back to the original (and, in this case, incorrect) content. If someone at Apple thinks we ought not to be allowed to change "artist" for purchased content, then at least they ought to prevent us from doing it right away instead of seeming to change it and then later changing it back.
So here's how to fix it. You don't want to mess with Mickey Mouse circumventions like "various artists" and "part of a compilation" (as suggested in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4607365?start=0&tstart=0), because those tags are INCORRECT. If you want the information to be correct, you've got to change the tags in the music file itself. I realize this is a huge pain, but Apple doesn't seem to care too much about causing their customers big pains. I used a product called Fission from Rogue Amoeba, though there are probably plenty of other products which will do the same thing.
You need to be careful so you don't get the iTunes data base out of sync with the file system structure. What I did was copy (not move) the files from the iTunes folders (use "Show in Finder" from the context menu if you're not sure where they are) to another folder somewhere and then deleted them from iTunes. Then I used Fission to edit the tags in the file to show the correct information and saved the files to another folder (keeping the original files as they were, just in case of trouble). Then I added the files with the edited tags to iTunes. The only small problem I can see is that the tracks no longer show up in the "Purchased" list, but I can live with that.
Good luck.

Playlist- editing text (eg artist names , song titles)

if the artist names or track titles don't appear when importing to playlist is there a way i can copy /paste to multiple cells in 1 action without having to copy/paste each individual cell - ie. copy/paste the word 'robbie williams' 15 times ( if 15 tracks on one album ). The usual windows copy/paste functionby highlighting several cells doesn't seem possible
ipod nano Windows XP

If you want to add information to multiple items, click on the first track in your list, hold down the shift key and click on the last track in the list, this will highlight all in between. Right click on the list and choose Get Info, you get a dialogue box asking if you want to update multiple items, click Yes and then the Info tab. You can edit the name, album, year, composer, add artwork etc and it will update all the tracks in the list.

Can't rename file name under Finder even as an administrator.

As an adminstrator to my MacBook Pro, why can't I rename certain file name under Finder?

Have you tried running lsof from the Terminal?
Lsof will show you any files that are open, the likelihood is that your file is in use.

Can't override artist name when sorting by artist

iTunes has selected about half my library of Nine Inch Nails (hasn't been updated or shifted by me for years) and is displaying the artist name as "seasonsinthesky", which I've never heard of - but only when I'm browsing by artist (i.e. all data appears correct when browsing by Song).
All the "Get Info" data is correct, but it won't pick up "Nine Inch Nails" in search and doesn't display that half of the artist files under that artist name. I would love to fix this, but there appears to be nothing to actually manually correct, as the data and the filing system all seem correct!
This seems to have just happened with iTunes 11 and I've only just noticed it. It also doesn't appear to have happened with any other artists.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated!

Hi AurelianoNile,
Thanks for your response. I have checked the sort tab and all the data appears correct. (And identical to the other half of the NIN tracks that are still behaving correctly).
I'm still stuck

Can't edit artist name in bridge metadata

I want to change all references to artist name in my pictures to a different name. I tried creating a metadata template, but the only option to specify is 'date and time original'. It won't let me change anything else. Using CS6.
Anyone help, please?

This is data set in your camera, don't know what you are using but with Canon you can add your name as camera owner using Canon Utility software itself or on newer models even on the in camera software.
The artist name is showing the same name as camera owner.
The only other possible escape might be using a script. But for that possibility you have to ask in the dedicated Bridge Scripting forum, (see link on main Bridge forum page).
Thanks for that. I am going to change my name in the Canon Utility for new images downloaded. But as you can see I have changed my surname, and wanted to change the references to my old name in my existing shots. I'll have a look at the script item you mentioned.

Can't edit artist name in iTunes 11

After updating to iTunes 11, I cannot edit the artist name. I can make changes in the Get Info box but after selecting OK, the changes do not take place. I am trying to merge songs into the same album but the guest artist names mixed in with the artist has scattered my songs all over the place. Any help would be appreciated.

ok I think I REALLY solved this. I just pulled 15 thousand songs off my old computer with Vista to new one with windows 8, I was forced to update my itunes which sucked and I put my files in what I though was the right folder, then dropped the files into the itunes interface. I could play my songs no problem so I though I was good. We I was wanting to combine some album and make some hits records and what not and I could not edit anything. I read through all the online posts and nothing that was suggested really worked. We I had downloaded an album from itunes before I started this and on a hunch I went to see if I could edit that album and sure as **** I could. I looked at the file path with itunes 11 they put the files I downloaded into a spot I would not have suspected so I decided to delete my library and move my files to that location and drop them back into the interface. Now I can edit my files, and not only does it change but it changes the actual files (just make sure you have the Keep My Files Organized option). I still hate the verson, it is terrible. What I loves about Itunes was how it was less flash and more function. I wish I could get ride of all the new glitz
UPDATE I think the reason we could not edit is because with the new windows the spot where you might have stored your old library might not have write permissions. There might be some way to change some admin settings and fix this, idk

Can't edit artist names with ''the''

Hey. Some artists wrongly named on my walkman. Such as ''the misfits" or "the pixies". They should be Misfits and Pixies. So, when i try to edit artist name from "the Pixies" to "Pixies", it keeps being "the Pixies". Yeah i am sure i am tapping the save button. And i tried with any other artists and i couldn't delete ''the" from artist name.. Having a same issue even after hard reset.

The info you are trying to edit is hard coded or embeded so you need to use a new app called EEmp3 found here

Can I view the names of chords I've already laid down?

I made some versions of some old time fiddle tunes to occompany myself when practicing. Recenly I had a real live guitar player to accommpany me. He asked "how to the chords go to this song?" I said, "I don't know, but I already laid down a smart guitar, smart bass, and smart drums for the song in GarageBand. You'd think I could tell by looking in GarageBand." When I look at the "Instruments" view of the song, I can see the little green bars on the smart guitar line like a piano roll, and see the pattern change where the chord changes, but can't tell what the chord names are. Is there any way to get GarageBand to show me the chords I've already figured out to remind me or show a guitar player during a session.?

GarageBand does not show the name of a chord - you could try spectrum analyzer software that can unmix and analyze music, like TransScribe!, for example.
Otherwise you will have to do it the hard way and compare the the chords in score view to chord tables, to find out what they are called.
