IPhone 6 Plus (iOS 8.2) Displaying Wrongs Artist Names

Hello Readers,
I hope this somehow makes it's way to someone at Apple or anyone who may be able to help me:
A few days ago, I updated to iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 6 Plus (128 GB/Sprint). Then I noticed that the artist names were incorrect. First I thought maybe it was a glitch, so I restored my iPhone from my backup, but it was exactly the same. So then I checked iTunes on my Mac and everything was correct, then lastly I checked my iPod Touch which syncs with the same Mac and the same music and everything there was correct.
I cannot seem to figure out what's going on, because it all started when I updated to iOS 8.2, and it's very annoying because it's on some songs.
Some of songs that I noticed that are incorrect are Michael Jackson's "Love Never Felt So Good (Duet With Justin Timberlake)", when I play that song it says "Michael Jackson Feat. Akon" on the artist info, but that is not how I have it on my Mac or how it appears on my iPod Touch.
I purchased Michael Jackson's Xscape album both as CD and from the iTunes Store and both versions display the wrong artist info for "Love Never Felt So Good (Duet With Justin Timberlake)".
Here are some screen shots so you can see what I'm talking about:
If you know how to fix this, please help me and other iOS 8.2 users who are going through this.
THANK YOU,
Luis

Hey there!
That sure sounds unpleasant. Are the tracks affected only purchased items from the iTunes Store? If so, give this a whirl and let me know if it helps you out:
Remove the songs from your iOS device by sliding left on the track and tapping "Delete". They are not permanently deleted as they will be retrieved from your account in later steps.
Navigate to Settings > iTunes and App Store then tap on your Apple ID and press "Sign Out"
3) Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. Enter your passcode if necessary and proceed. (*NOTE: Resetting All Settings will remove certain information from your device such as the selected background on home and lock screen, remove your passcode and general settings. You may have to re-enter this kind of information once iPhone reboots)
Once your device turns back on, navigate to Settings > iTunes and App Store. Renter your Apple ID and password.
Launch the iTunes Store app from the home screen on your device.
Retrieve your purchases by tapping on "More", located at the bottom right corner of the app. Under the "Purchased" section, find the songs you've removed and tap on the cloud icon to retrieve your purchases.
I can only speculate that this issue is related to settings on your device. It's possible that the issue persists because you've restored a backup where the bug was located in the first place. The steps above should help. Try it out and let me know if that works for you.
Cheers!

IOS 8.2 music app displaying wrong artist for songs

I've been very unhappy with iOS 8.2. After updating my iPhone 6 to 8.2, I noticed a problem in the music app. Some of my songs have the wrong artist name displayed. In some cases, all of the songs by an artist display the wrong name. For example I have songs by the artist Wings. On one of their albums, They went under another name for a couple of songs, The Country Hams, and I have the album artist listed as Wings. But, after the update, all of the songs by Wings on every album have the artist name as The Country Hams, even though that name is used on only 2 songs on one album. When I search by artist in the app, Wings is no longer listed as an artist. When I go to The Country Hams, all of the songs by Wings are listed under that name. A similar problem occurs with other artists as well, whether the songs are purchased or not. Nothing I did would fix the problem. I tried changing the tags in iTunes, re-syncing, and restoring the phone. Nothing. I synced the songs to my iPod, and the information was correct, so I know the problem is not with my iTunes Library or the tags. Eventually, I succumbed to downgrading back iOS 8.1.3, and restoring the phone. Everything's back to normal. The problem is 8.2. I hope this is fixed with the next update, otherwise I'll just have to stay with 8.1.3. This is very frustrating.

SOST tcode display wrong contact name in recipient.

Hi All,
Our issue is with workflow sending the emails for the supplier and requestor to the wrong contact name, but correct email address. In SOST tcode recipient names are wrongly displayed. Is problem with workflow or SOST?.
Kindly advice.
Thanks,
S K.

Hi Sravan,
I guess this is an incorrect approach to maintain same email ID for multiple users. Please check if this is your business requirement else correct the same.
The user names are picked from the details maintained in SU01 and also possible if this user is assigned to a Busienss Partner, then the details are picked from t-code BP.
Please try and correct the entries for few test users. Maintain the email ID to only one user and then test if you still face the issue.
Regards,
Saumya

When Ripping CD, iTunes Displays Wrong Artist & Wrong Album

Thanks for looking at my post! When I try to rip a CD, iTunes thinks it's a different CD. Even when I change all of the song tracks, artist, and album name . . . I can't change the time. Of course the two CD's have different song lenths, so the songs are split across the wrong CD.
Is there any way to fix this?

Is it a 2 disc album?

Nano 5G displaying wrong artist for compilations

Just got a Nano 5G and have begun transferring several compilation albums over. I'm anal about tags and all of the tracks have been marked as a Compilation in iTunes and the Album Artist is tagged as "Various Artists". Secondly, the compilation setting is enabled on the Nano and the album is grouped as it should be. The compilations have a different artist for each song and that's what tagged in the Artist field.
It shows the exact same artist for all of the songs, even though each song is tagged with a unique artist. I've verified that all the tags are correct and marked as a Compilation with iTunes, MP3tag, and SharePod.
How it Looks in iTunes:
Creed - Higher
Chris Cornell - Can't Change Me
Blink 182 - What's My Age Again
Lit - Zip Lock
Epidemic - Walk Away
Here's how it looks when played on the Nano:
Epidemic - Higher
Epidemic - Can't Change Me
Epidemic - What's My Age Again
Epidemic - Zip Lock
Epidemic - Walk Away
Tried restoring the Nano firmware (1.02) and that didn't work. It's just an issue/bug with compilations, as my individual albums all display properly.
Most compilations are just a collection of my favorite songs, and are fairly large (200-300 tracks). Could that be the problem?
Any other ideas?

Did you ever solve this?
I have exactly the same problem - the tracks are correctly tagged and displayed in itunes, but when synced to the ipod nano 5g, any compilations seem to get assigned a random artist from my music collection when displayed on the ipod.
I have tried everything I can think of: restoring firmware, renaming artist of compilations to "assorted artists" etc; but still the same problem.

IPhone 4S - iOS 5 - Something is wrong, phone is autocorrecting every single word... Can i reset the feature?? HELP!

iPhone 4S - Is anyone else experiencing strange behavior by the autocorrect? it's trying to autocorrect every single word... for instance "is" corrected to "OS". ***? it's happening on every single word!! Can i reset the feature?? HELP!
I have been an iPhone user since the first iPhone. In fact, i was first in line in 2007 at the Boston Apple Store at Chestnut Hill Mall.
I've never experienced such strange behavior by the autocorrect feature. Granted there is the occasional annoying autocorrect, but this is out of control. I can't even make it through a sentence without getting frustrated and wanting to throw the brand new iPhone 4S accross the room!
Someone please help!!!

OOPS!! This is a case of user error..
I turned on a couple keyboards looking for the Emoji keyboard last night... So my assumption is that the "keyboards > language selection" is linked to the dictionaries the system uses for autocorrect? Well, whatever the case, I turned everything off except English and Emoji and that seemed to correct the problem.
If anyone else is having a blond moment, like me, consider user error first. LOL
Have a good day!

Artist name will not show up on iphone 5s

I have synced my iTunes correctly. On my iTunes, the artist name show up. On my iPhone it is labled as "unkonw artist". but when I play the song, it will scroll the name of the song and the name of the artist.
any ideas how to correctly put the album with the artist instead of the "unkown".
Like I said, on my iTunes on my iMac it is organized and labled perfectly.
On my iPhone, it is labled as "unknown artist", except when I hit play, it will display the artist name.

Thanks for all the quick replies. Much appreciated. The person who said go to your iTunes, highlight the songs in the album and make sure the part of a compilation was not clicked was genius.
oh wait, that was me.

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

Itunes on my iPhone 5 only displays the artist list with the UP NEXT feature. How can I change the UP NEXT feature on my iPhone 5 to display the next songs that are to be played on my play list?

Hi Sarah,
It sounds like the songs have either not yet synced over to the iPhone, or something went wrong when attempting to sync to the iPhone. My recommendation is to uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox.
Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following articles:

Album artwork not displaying on iPhone 5 iOS 6.0.2

I recently took the plunge from Android and got myself an iPhone 5. One thing that's driving me nuts is album artwork in my music library. I have two problems
not all albums will display artwork on the phone despite being present in iTunes and WMP/Media Monkey.
when artwork is displayed on phone, when music is playing the wrong artwork is then displayed.
I've tried different ways of synching, auto and manual. I have also tried replacing the artwork in 'Get Info' (time-consuming and tedious when artwork is already there). Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Frustratingly, if I am successful one day, the next time I synch I am back to square one with no artwork.
I wouldn't use iTunes if I didn't have to...I had none of these issues with Android/Creative.
I am using a Windows 7 laptop, iPhone 5, IOS 6.0.2, iTunes for Windows 11.0.1.12. The issue has been present since day one getting this phone.
Does anyone have any tips, ideas or similar experience of this issue?

You could try activating it while connected to a different wifi network. You could also see if your router has a firmware update available and changing your router's settings to use Google's public DNS to see if that helps (see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using).

My iPhone 5 is blocked and goes wrong with IOS 8.2.

My iPhone 5 is blocked and goes wrong with IOS 8.2. How can officially return to IOS 7.12?
The phone goes slow, hard contacts are loaded, the phone got stuck a few times.
I would like to return to the IOS 7.12, but can not. Problems have occurred since the IOS8, but I hoped to solve with iOS 8.1 or 8.2. On the contrary, the situation was worsened.
What can I do?

I have a 64GB model
Contacts are displayed harder. Not appear depending on usage, as IOS 7.
All functions of the smartphone go late.
Now I installed iOS 8.1 and did not improve anything
It happens rarely that's right, the smartphone to block everything and need to restart. But we claim that we have an Apple that should function without resets
I understand that the processor does not support well IOS8 iPhone 5, but I want to return to IOS 7 as the smartphone was perfect
Apple must know these problems and have to accept a return to IOS7 for iPhone 5
They were given a warning only 3, 3 g, 4, 4s
I have friends with iPhone 5 that meet the same problem and they will return to IOS7 if possible
I think that Apple has a problem in this regard
Another version of IOS 8 can not resolve the situation, because it seems that the processor can not handle this software
I would be very happy if Apple will understand the situation, and someone at Apple will give me an answer or a solution

I am unable to create a new event on my iPhone with IOS 7.0.4. I tap the plus sign, fill in the details, tape Done and ... nothing. Repeatedly. No problem on my iMac or iPad, just with the phone. Help.

Assuming you're creating this event to place in your calendar, and assuming this calendar is shared with your iMac and iPad using iCloud, might the calendar be restricted on your iPhone?
