IOS 5 renamed most of songs artist on devices

I updated my iPhone 4 and my iPad first generation to iOS 5.  Now most all of my music songs and video's have been renamed to one artist instead of the individual artists on BOTH devices.  Each device named the artists to a different one.  Example...my iPhone named most of them to Black Eyed Peas and my iPad named them to All that Remains.  The song names are still correct but I have a lot of music and need this to be correct.  On my iPad this is only happening in the music app because it only shows the song name.  On my iPhone it's happening in the Video app and the Music app. I have tried to take all the music off the devices and then re-sync them but it didn't fix the problem.  This is really frustrating.  Is anyone else having this problem?  I am using Lion on my macbook pro.  Please help if you can.  Seeing all the problems I'm reading about on the communities here I think Apple should not of released it until it was ready!  Thanks for any input.

Thanks so much for all your help!  I finally tracked it down in there.    It was under the "Video" tab.  Before I had all the music video's made into a "TV Show" so they would play one after the other.  Well when I took them all back to my main music library I edited them all at once.  It always seemed to work well.  I would go back and forth with them to my iPhones and it worked seemlessly.  Anyways when checking them one by one it still had Music Video's for TV Show and Season 1.  Once I manually changed each one I took the music off my phone once again and then re-synced the devices.  They both were correct this time.  So thanks so much for getting me to poke around in there again.  I just knew it had to be something stupid like that.

  • How can I get iPod touch with IOS5 to sort by song artist and not album artist?

    Since updating to IOS5 many song artist are missing. I set up iTunes to sort on song artist but when I sync, my ipod tyrs to sort by album artist not song artist. How can I get the ipod touch to sort by song artist???? Most of my Song artists show up under Various which is the entry for album artist. Please help! I have aver 9000 songs with this problem. If I can't solve this issue, I will have to return to using my Toshiba Gigabeat which allows me to sort be album artist. IOS-5 was a step backwards.

  • Accidentally Renamed Most of My Library!

    I iTunes, I accidentally renamed most of my music as if it came from the same album, now my album art seems to be gone and all tracks from various artists are alphabetized by song name under this one "album".  Is there any way to undo or sort this out?  Thank you so much for any help.

    The simplest way out is to restore from a backup if you have one.
    It may be possible to recover from an iPod if you have one
    See this user tip:

    If not you need to find exactly what has been changed and what is retained.
    Are the artist names still correct? If so you could sort your library by artist and manually go through correcting the album names using Get Info.
    You can select multiple tracks when doing this.
    In any event it will be a pain.
    If the artist is not retained, the only hope is that the tracks are still in their original folders. If so you could go through the folders correcting the tags with a tag editor such as MP3Tag.

    If not I don't see a way of fixing it.
    If you can fix it, make a backup.

  • Is there a way to rename multiple Itunes songs at the same time

    Is there a fast way to rename multiple Itunes songs at once, instead of renaming one song inside Itunes at a time? For example; So I can select multiple songs at once and rename each songs Genre all at the same time? Without needing to rename song by song?
    Casey Computer

    You can click on multiple songs, and change info in the Get Info > Info screen.  This applies to most fields EXCEPT Name.  iTunes has never allowed the simultaneous change of Name of multiple songs, presumably on the grounds that it is usually an error to do so.
    Regarding Genre, yes, this can be changed for multiple songs at once, using the Info tab of Get Info.

  • How do you update the song/artist information on songs that you have loaded to the cloud.  Some are not displaying correctly on my Iphone.

    I have loaded all my music to the cloud from my hard drive.  When I am viewing the music on my PC from the cloud it wasn't displaying all of the song/artist information correctly.  I took the time to go into each one that wasn't displaying correctly using the "get info" option and I updated them all.  Now they are displaying properly on my PC but not on my Iphone.  I'm sure it was because of the way they were loaded.  My question is how do I update the information for the music that is on the cloud so it will display to my Iphone correctly (and the Ipad I just bought but haven't setup yet?

    Pretty sure I just downloaded the .exe files to the SD card (I have a directory called "drivers" there & ran from Windows, no need to boot from anything else. Didn't even need to use Safe Boot. The files do need an .exe extension IE someimes downloads as _exe. No idea why but would just need to rename if download has the underscore and not the period. The you can run them.
    Was so easy I really did not think about it. One of the Intel Platform drives does say "requires 1.60 update" so that is the one you need. Do the 1.60, reboot, and then the Intel update.
    Key point is the release note on the Intel Platform Installer
    "Release Notes
    1.Please install the  Windows BIOS version 1.60 or higher for Encore WT8-A (PDW09x) before installing this Intel Platform Installer update." note this says "BIOS" and not "USB BIOS" which is a smaller file.

  • Song/artist order issue

    My songs/artists are in proper alphabetical order in iTunes, but when I sync them, they're not in order on my iTouch!
    Songs sync properly, but for some reason, when I hit "Music" on my iTouch, songs/artists are listed under the wrong letter, and in a crazy order.
    This is not a case of "The" being ignored-- my B's for example, include the following sequences (I listen to a lot of genres, as you may notice):
    "Blue Suede Shoes"
    "Barbara Ann"
    "Body Language"
    Bare Grace Misery"
    "Basket Case"
    "Capital G"
    "Carrie-Anne"
    "Cast It Out"
    "Be Like That"
    Under Artists, there is the following sequence:
    "The Beach Boys"
    "The Beatles"
    "Chain Algorithm"
    "Beck"
    "Chevelle"
    "Beyonce"
    "Billy Idol"
    "Daft Punk"
    "Billy Joel"
    How do I fix this jumbled mess so I can find my songs easily again?

    Quick clarification:
    This issue did not happen AT ALL before I upgraded to iOS 5.  I first noticed that songs and artists were "overflowing" the letter sections (B running into the C section) around December, but that didn't bother me as much.  It's been a few weeks now that the songs are in a weird jumble.
    I have always used Manual Sync.

    No, iCloud doesn't sync music between devices.  To get your music on your iPad, sync it with iTunes.

  • How do I stopi-Tunes from downloading songs on my device which I did not order and which I then have to delete?

    How can I stop i-Tunes from downloading songs on my device which I did not order and which I then have to delete because I do not want it?

    Does swiping/dragging across the tracks from right-to-left (or possibly left-to-right depending upon the iOS version) in the Downloads tab in the iTunes store app stop them downloading ?
    If it's the U2 album Songs of Innocence then  : http://itunes.com/soi-remove

  • HT4915 Completely Delete a Song off all Devices

    I keep deleting a song from my iTunes on my MacBook Pro, but the song appears on my iPad and my iPhone...I am up to date with all versions..I want rid of some songs and albums, does anyone understand how to completely delete something?

    Hey dees13,
    Thanks for the question. You can remove a song from your device by doing the following:
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    via page 62 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music"
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Am I the only person who misses the drag and drop method of adding and deleting songs on iTunes devices?

    I am constantly getting frustrated with the newer versions of iTunes because my different apple devices have different amounts of storage. I miss the days when I could drag and drop songs to various devices. I don't always want the same songs on all devices, so I don't like to sync because I sometimes lose something I want to keep on that device. I am just curious if I'm the only one who misses this feature or is there a way of doing this that I've just not found? Thanks.

    In the Summary tab of iTunes - when the iDevice is connected to your Mac - select Manually Manage Music and Videos. You should be able to drag and drop.
    If you don't see the sidebar and the device is syncing automatically, you can enable the sidebar from the ITunes Menu - View>Show Sidebar. The. You can click on your device name imder the devices heading, then click on the Summary Tab.
    You can also disable auto syncing in iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing autonatically.
    I never auto sync and never have. I select Sync Only Checked Songs And Videos in the Summary tab and I can still drag and drop songs. I can also select the albums, playlist, or artists that I want to sync by using this method.

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • I have the current version of iTunes and when I plug my device in, the library says that I have songs on my device that are not showing up on my iPod touch. How do I get these songs on my device?

    On iTunes, my library says that I have a lot of songs on my device that do not show up on my actual iPod touch. These songs disappeared from my iPod when I plugged it in, then they showed back up, but with a red square and circle, and now, after syncing and autofilling, they are gone again. How do I get these songs from my iTunes "ON MY DEVICE" library to my actual device?

  • HT1351 Only want to see sync songs/artists/albums on iPod touch (not the whole library in iTunes). How to do it?

    I only want to see on iPod touch songs/artists/albums manually selected for sync (not the whole library in iTunes). How to do it? Not sync titles appear in grey colour...

    So if I understand you correctly, you want to be able to sync only certain songs, artists, and albums correct? If so you can configure this set up from under the iPod's Music configuration tab in iTunes as described in the Syncing Automatically section in the Apple support document you linked in at the top of the page.  Note that you cannot select only certain songs, but you can set it up to sync selected Artists, Genres, and Albums.
    If the tab and its configurations are grayed out, it is likely because your iPod is set up for manual management, meaning the manually manage music and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab.
