IPad music app does not show track artists in compilations

Hello community,
i have a problem with my iPad's music app. When browsing compilations, it does not show the artist of each track like my iPhone does. Both devices are sync'ed with the same iTunes library, and the 'Part of a compilation' flag is set correctly to the corresponding tracks.
Please let me illustrate the problem with a few screenshots.
The iPhone shows this compilation correctly as 'Various Artists' and thus displays the track's artists in each line below:
In contrast, the iPad's music app does not seem to identify the compilation correctly. The artist is not shown as "Various Artists" like on the iPhone, but the artists of the first track is wrongly used instead. Furthermore, the artist of each track is not shown in the list on the right side:
The setting "Sort album by artist" is turned on on both devices.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thank you!

It's not you, it's the iPad's iOS. The Music app in iOS 5 for the iPad is horrendous with several UI fails:
- No category for Compilations
- Incorrect/ Missing Artist for Compilations
- No lyrics
- No indication of track number within a group of tracks (e.g. "18 of 37")
- Sporadic indication of which track is playing while looking at a list
Hopefully these things get corrected in iOS 6, but for now you'll have to bear with it. You can voice your concern here:

The ipad music app does not allow me to play certain tracks that i have synced via my itunes. The tracks are clearly visibly in the music app but when tap on them to play they wont play. help and advice will be much appreciated

The ipad music app does not allow me to play certain tracks that i have synced via my itunes. The tracks are clearly visibly in the music app but when tap on them to play they wont play. what do i do?

Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

Nokia N8 - Music Player does not show track progre...

I am having this annoying problem after the belle refresh update. Earlier the music player used to show track progress bar perfectly. Now after the update it does not show progress bar most of the time while playing a song.
On further observation, I noticed that the progress bar shows up correctly everytime for the songs which does not have a album art embedded in it. But if I play a song with a album art, most of the time the progress bar does not appear at all.
Is anyone else having the issue? Try playing few different songs with album art attached. Hope nokia fixes this soon.
Also earlier tapping on the album art/icon used to display the volume up-down slider. Now that feature is gone. Since I use a hard cover, it's difficult for me to use the hardware volume buttons every time. Why did you remove a useful feature nokia?

(To Technical Expert)
I know about the hide lyrics/show lyrics option and have already used it. What I don't like is the progress bar that is displayed on the album art. Can't they remove the hide lyrics/show lyrics option and just place the progress bar above the (previous track, pause/play & next track touch icons) like it was in the first Belle Update for the N8 v111.030.0609? That 'Now Playing' view looked way better than it looks now because the album art was bigger and the progress bar was not displayed on the album art like it is now. Surely if they changed it to the way it looks now, they can change it back to the way it was before. It's just the progress bar positioning, I've been a Nokia fan for years and hope that they will make that small tweak.

No explanation does not help!
Do you have iTunes running on your computer and did you did tap on the More Button at the bottom of the Music app to get to the Shared Tab?
After you tap on the Shared button you will be able to select your iTunes library or the iPad library in the next window. After you select the one that you want to use, a red checkmark will appear next to the library that you chose.

When using the iphone 6 Plus. I use iMessage it is terribly slow to attach photo or take a photo the app does not show camera and slow... like 2 mins at least.

When using the iphone 6 Plus. I use iMessage and then attach a photo or take a photo... the app does not show the camera fully or even to attach a photo does not work. I have about 8-9000 phones and like 10 short videos in there but it is incredibly slow and almost unable. I have the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus with 46 gb still available. I think this should not be so slow with so much memory still available. Please help. I am using 8.1.2. Yes I have set up the phone as a new phone. Apple store even reformatted this iphone 6 plus 2 months ago but it is still terribly slow Thanks

Hey Bender1031,
Thanks for the question, I can definitely understand how frustrating this issue may be with a brand new phone. Great troubleshooting so far by already attempting a restart and reset. If the issue persists, let’s try restoring your device and updating to the latest software (iOS 8.0.2):
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
- If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
- If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Video app does not show movies or tv programs. What can I do?

The Video app does not show the movies and tv programs stored in the Ipad. They are still there. In fact, I can play them back in my computer when the Ipad is connected. I have closed the app, turned off/on the Ipad to no avail. What can I do?

when you opened the shared library with the newer version of iPhoto (iPhoto '11) you were given a warning that your library would be converted and could not be used by older versions - you clicked ok to go ahead - there is no updo available - either upgrade to iphoto '11 of the MBP or load your backup of the iPhoto '09 library on it - older versiopns of i{Photo can not read newer libraries

After upgrading to iOS 8, the weather app does not show up results for any of the Indian States/cities

After upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5, the weather app does not show up results for any of the Indian States/cities. Can Apple look into this or does anyone have a solution to this.

Swipe from bottom of days listed ("Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, etc") upwards. I thought it was gone too but it's still there~just takes different way to access it.

Nokia E-5 music player does not show all songs. Th...

my Nokia E-5 music player does not show all songs. The filemanager does though. have tried every damn thing that i could, from the internet. no solution yet. Nokia wont address it. any solutions? please dont ask me to refersh my music player. nokia now manufactures stupid phones, instead of smartphones..
can any one help, friends? the last option i have to sell it off and wait for an HTC qwerty mango 7.5 phone

I perfectly understand that this is frustrating and of course Nokia should adress this.
I do not work for Nokia so maybe you could contact them. I see you have been to a care centre and reset it, but hopefully by contacting them by email they can log the issue for further work on firmwares?
I hope this sorts out. Have you btw, tried with some other memory card?
If it's not too much of a struggle, try backing up everything you have on it and format it, then reboot the phone which will recreate the needed folders and then drag and drop your stuff back to it and check again.
Hope you get it solved mate!

Is the app stuck on "waiting"?

Approved App Does Not Show in the App Part Section.

Hi all,
I have successfully add an App from the SharePoint App Store to my SharePoint Site which was developed using SharePoint 2013. The added app was successfully Approved then when I try to add that app using the App Part to a web page I cannot Find it
in the App Part section. I looked in the Site Collection Features & Site Features I couldn't find the app to activate. I don't think I have done some kind of mistake. So then what else I have to do to add that App part to the web page.
Could someone try to solve this matter?
Thanks,
Regards,
Chiranthaka

IOS 7 music app does not display artist pictures and has incorrect album art after master reset.

Strange issue here. I did the update from iOS 6 to iOS 7, after I did the update, I noticed my synced music has just a random photo of the artist / group, that seems to be downloaded from the iTunes sites, because these pictures of the artist/group is not my album artwork.
I did a master reset on my device because I wanted to start from a clean slate, and set it up as a new phone. I went through and adjusted all of my settings and synced my music back on via iTunes, now its not showing these pictures any longer, infact, the strangest issue of them all.. is now when I view artists, the album that I synced now has a complete different album artwork picture that is not related to that album.
I am at a loss, my iTunes is extremely organized, I have everything configured to be 100% accurate for track names, artist, album, and album artwork.
Anyone have any input here? It only screwed up after the reset I did. This has to be a bug or something.

SiMooew469: Thank you! After countless wasted hours messing with this, your solution was the only one that worked! After setting up a few phones "as new" I noticed all the artist images would appear (for those that have one) even with my Match turned on. I could not duplicate it on my restored-from-backup iPhone5S, as I would get a mix of the images and album art, even for those artists that have profile photos on the as-new setups. I couldn't afford to lose all my text messages, etc. that come with restoring a phone as-new, so I tried about everything else under the sun: I tried logging in-and-out of my Apple ID, toggling Match on-and-off, I even deleted iTunes_control folder using iExplorer on a Windows machine. Nothing worked.
Here's what finally did:
If you don't have it set this way already, toggle "Group By Album Artist" in Settings->Music. For some reason that makes a difference for some artists in your library that appear when album artist is set to "Various Artists" or something other than the track's artist. Logout of your Apple ID. Log in with any other Apple ID. Open the Music app and watch all the artist images load in the Artisits tab. Once it is done, logout of the other Apple ID and login with your regular Apple ID. Finally, all the artist images will remain. Those artists that do not have a profile photo with iTunes will still show album art, which is by design. Hopefully Apple will keep updating that database.
Incidentally, it's a bit odd that those profile photos don't appear in the Artists view in iTunes 11...or am I the only one?
