IPad - music not appearing under album or artist tab

I have just purchased a new iPad. I can access the videos and music on my computer on iTunes via home sharing. However regarding music, tracks only appear under the songs tab. Nothing under album or artists. 3000+ albums and nothing, yet all the songs accessible under the songs tab. I am running ios6 on the iPad and iTunes 10.7 on the pc. I have seen a couple of posts with the same issue but with no conclusive solution. Can anyone help?

I have done nothing different, all of a sudden some of my albums and artists are appearing, not all just some. Can anyone help?

  • My iPad does not appear under "devices" in iTunes

    When I connect my iPad 2 to my PC (Windows 7), it does not appear under "Devices". I have tried all the steps described in "Trouble-shooting". It does, however, recognize and show my iPod nano, when I connect that through the same USB. I have already deleted and reloaded iTunes 10.4 three times. Incidentally, I had no problem when I was using  previous version of iTunes before I updated it 5 days back.

    Thanks Rudegar.
    Finally what worked? I removed all the Apple software files from my PC. Rebooted my PC. Downloaded iTunes afresh, saved and run it. Ah..ah.. my iPad was under the devices this time and it synchronised well. I am happy. Thanks

  • How do i get an artist's music to appear under his/her artist name if it only appears under the album name?

    I recently imported the album Hall of Fame by Big Sean into my iTunes. I have the music in my iPhone. When i go to search for Big Sean in my phone under the "artist" section, his name comes up, but the Hall of Fame album is not one of the albums listed. However, if I search for Hall of Fame under the "album" section, it appears. I've tried everything to make the album appear under his name on the "artist" section, but it won't. Help would be greatly appreciated!

    Check the "get info" screen of the album, and other Big Sean content.  It's the .... meta data (for lack of the correct term) provided with the content.  You may need to edit the data so that the content filters like you want.

  • Songs not appearing under artists

    Hi,
    I'm going to try and explain this the best way I can,
    On my Ipod (30GB), some songs do not appear under the artist.
    Example:
    I have two songs by Christina Aguilera, A is from the album "Stripped" and the other one (B) I haven't listed any album name (therefore it is Blank). So on my ipod when I go into:
    [ Music -> Artist -> Christina Aguilera -> All ]
    only song A is shown.
    But if I go into [Music -> Songs ] I can find A and B...
    So you see my problem,
    If you have any idea, please answer,
    Regards,
    Waq

    "the other one (B) I haven't listed any album name (therefore it is Blank)."
    There is the problem.
    See: Some songs don't don't show under artist on my iPod.
    From what I understand, once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.

  • How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the 1st generation.

    How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad?  Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the first generation ipad.

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    Hello popsicles,
    This first article should be helpful in getting iTunes to recognize your iPad once more:

    If the device is still disabled once it's appeared in iTunes again, please reference this second article:

  • How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

    How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title.  The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

    King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly.  I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over.  I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear.  It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!

    I had a new hard drive replaced in my imac. Now my 1st generation apple TV does not appear under devices in itunes. How do I get my apple tv to connect to my computer? My OS is 10.6.8

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can't doing anything abouty this, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

  • My ipad does not appear in itunes

    my ipad does not appear in itunes but the computer recognises it

    I had the same problem. found a dozen different solutions in various forums. None worked.
    One of the official responses TS1538 came very close and sounded promising. I found that the usb device did not appear in device manager. The ipad appeared only in the imaging devices.
    The instructions were to right click on the entry in images and update the driver, pointing at
    program files\common files\apple\drivers\usbaapl.inf.
    This told me that my device was not found in the driver. date on the files was 2009. date on the files in another pc which worked was 2011.
    I had already re-installed itunes, which I thought should install the necessary driver.
    Decided to fool it. copied the files in the above folder and then deleted them. Then re-installed itunes again.
    Fixed.
    So why doesnt itunes installation over-ride the old files?
    Why doesnt apple tell us about this fix.
    Why did I buy and apple?

  • Album artwork does not appear in album list or grid

    I added album artwork (did get info then copy and paste) and it shows up fine in cover flow but does not appear in album list or grid view.
    What am I doing wrong?  Artwork files were scanned from album covers that I have.

    Your album artwork cache may be corrupt. Provided most, if not all, of your artwork is embedded you can simply delete the Album Artwork folder that you will find inside your main iTunes folder and then scroll slowly through the library in Grid/Albums mode to rebuild it. Any images that were "downloaded" rather than embedded will need to be reacquired.
    Threre are separate folders for the downloaded and cached images, but I've always gone for a complete rebuild so I don't know it would work to delete just the cached folder.

  • Music not appearing on mini ipod

    I bought my mini ipod 2 weeks ago. I loaded one set of music on it fine, but now i've updated my itunes library and am trying to transfer the rest of the music to my mini ipod. When I connect my ipod to the computer(it's set on automatic, but I've tried manual too to no effect) it says its updating music (takes about 45 mins) The updated music is appearing under the ipod in itunes, but it doesn't appear on the actual ipod. I've tried resetting the ipod, restarting my computer, using different USB2 ports etc but nothing works. Can anyone please help?

    Try this;
    Go to SETTINGS > MAIN MENU > MUSIC and set it to ON. Then, hit the MENU button several times to get back to the main menu & see if it's there.
    You can control what appears in the main menu in this settings menu. Apparently, your ;music' option has been turned off.
    Cheers!

  • Photos downloaded appear only "showing: added by (photos only)" - do not appear in albums or grid. Why?

    I downloaded 150 photos today but they only appear in  "showing: added by (photos only)" - do not appear in albums or grid. Why?

    Hehe, that is what i experienced using the MobileMe trial.
    Ok, I will dig deep into my computer software boxes and look for the discs that came with the computer.
    Thank you for all your help, it is much appreciated

  • Not appearing under devices

    When I connect my iPod Classic, it does not appear under devices.  I do have it on my iMac desktop, so I think the USB is working properly.  The iPod also will connect to my PC with no problem; I synced yesterday evening.  I have the latest iTunes on both computers.
    Any ideas?

    See here: iPod does not appear in iTunes or iPod updater in Mac OS X
    And here as well if necessary: iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop
    Did it ever show up previously? If so, what has changed then? Have you recently installed any third party software/plug-ins/etc.?
