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:

  • Getting artist name on each track

    i download a cd with my laptop then transfer it to my own library on my desktop to save it does not list the artist with each track i have to type the artist for each track can i change this somehow so it will put the artist name next to each track thank you driving me nuts

    With a purchased CD, connected to the Internet, iTunes should find the details ok. However if it happens again, Highlight all the tracks you just imported and right click, choose Get Info, it will ask if you want to update multiple items, say yes and in Info type the artists name and all the tracks will be done at once.

  • IPhone 5 not showing received calls under Recent tab.

    Currently using an iPhone 5 (iOS 6.0 on Sprint).
    The issue that I am having is that the vast majority of recevied (incoming) calls are not staying on my call log under the recent tab. When I access the Recent tab under the Phone menu and select the All menu, I can see all of my placed and missed calls. However only about 1 out of every 10 or so calls that I answer stay listed on my recents tab.
    This is making it difficult since I cannot go back and check numbers for clients that have called in to ask a quick question.
    Anyone else experience this or have any suggestions ?
    Thanks,

    Reset.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • IPhone is not cataloguing music correctly under Artists

    I'm using an iPhone 4 connecting to a new Mac running Lion. My iTunes on my computer catalogues my music correctly by artist, but when I sync to my phone, some (but NOT all) of my music doesn't show up under the "Artists" section in the "Music" app on my phone. The music IS THERE--If I go to to the "Albums" section or the "Songs" section it shows up by album/song but the artist is not listed underneath it.
    Here's an example:
    I have many concerts/"albums" of the Grateful Dead that I've downloaded for free over many years. Some of these DO show up in the Artists as follows:
    Grateful Dead>Fillmore West>2-11-1970
    But others will NOT show up under the Artists section. They only show up in Albums.
    So in other words, I can't find these concerts/albums if I try to search by Artist because THEY AREN'T LISTED, even though they are in the phone!
    The other thing I've noticed is that if I look in Albums, these particular ones will show up as follows:
    Boston Garden 9-25-1991
    but the words "Grateful Dead" don't appear below the name of the concert/album as they should.
    The ones that show up correctly under Artists have the words "Grateful Dead" under them when I view them in Albums. So there is something about the coding that is incorrect which prevents these particular albums to have the words Grateful Dead, and therefore they aren't listed when I look in Artists.
    I have tried in iTunes to group by compiliation, create gapless albums, etc. and even retyped the name and artist name of each of the ones I'm having trouble with. But nothing seems to work. The Apple Store suggested I wipe out my phone and reinstall from my back up but that seems a bit extreme.
    I CAN search my music via the Albums section and just bypass the whole "Artists" section altogether but I feel like there should be a solution to this. I know this is a very particular, detailed problem but would appreciate any help you can offer!
    Thank you!

    I'm also having this issue - I'm getting about 27GB of garbage data put into the iPhone's 'other' category
    iPhone 5 64GB
    iTunes 11.4
    MBP 10.8.5
    iTunes is set to 'convert larger songs to 128k AAC', and it's trying to sync a 9,500 song library which is a mixture of aiff, wav, mp3, m4p and a couple of m4v.
    Previously these all fit on my iPhone a treat. Left iTunes last night after already having transferred around 7000 of them - iTunes informed me i'd have nearly 10GB space remaining. Came back this morning and iTunes shows my phone is now 15GB over capacity. It shows all the library has synced though - no greyed out songs.
    When I go to the phone, that says it has 7GB space remaining and only 1700 songs synced. in the music app itself, there's very few songs in there. Looking in Settings>General>Usage, there's no visibility of where that 27GB is being used up. Music category is only 11GB (which should be more like 38GB).
    Please help I've wiped and resynced my phone 3 times now, it's driving me mental: I just want to listen to music. I've never had this issue with Android's drag n drop.

  • 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.

    I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
    In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
    I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

    Hello johnohuk,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

  • E52 not showing contacts name in inbox

    Hi,
    iam facing this problem of my e52 not showing contacts names in inbox.
    Some of the contacts name are shown, those which was originally in my phone memory.
    because i do a lot of trading, i constantly adds new numbers to my contacts from the sms they sent. But the main problem is here is even after i added their contact giving them names, the names doesnt show up in inbox, its still just numbers.
    desperately need help for this. how can a business phone have this kind of problem?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This happens to me too when I store the number under two names, or the synchronization creates double entries, for example:
    Two names:
    1234    Anna    
    1234    Bea
    Double entries
    1234    Anna
    1234    Anna
    When the text message comes in, there's no name. But you can send a message either to Anna or Bea and the message outbox shows the proper name.
    The solution is to delete one entry or merge the duplicate contacts.
    Hope this helps.

  • On OS 5, the contacts with international format do not show the names when they call me. any idea why?

    I have updated my Iphone 4 software to OS5, and since then the names of the people who call me stopped to appear and only their number is showing. after checking, i found out that the contatcs whom local phone number is saved in an international format are affected by this problem. if i save them without the country code, then their names appear.
    Also, some non local numbers that are saved in the format of 00966--------- instead of +966 ------- are also not showing the name of my contact when they call me.
    any idea about this knowing that the older OS version didn't have an issue with this?
    Thanks

    This is the same problem I have.  I thought it was my phone only, but now I realize it is a common thing.  I hope they release a fix to this, as they did in 2007 & 2007 when 3G was released.  Will be waiting and good luck to us all.
