Ipod Touch : on the ipod the Artist List is now filled with AlbumArtist instead of Artists

Hi There,
Since the upgrade to iOS 5 on the Ipod ( or the NEW Itunes , one of them ) ... I now have a problem...
My iPOD Touch , always did what is was supposed to do ... , click on Music - Artist and it listed almost all the 5000+ Artists that were on the ipod ... easy for searching if i wanted to look up an artist of song ....BUT something changed after the updates....
When I now select ARTIST on the ipod to search ... I have a VERY short list.... after deleting ALL of my music and re putting it back into iTunes , and synching with the iPod , .. I noticed it was still the same .... , maybe 200 artists.... instead of 5000+ ....
In Itunes I opened up the column ALBUM ARTISTS.... and because one of the updates before , ruined all the groups of Albums, as it was looked up to be ONE album as all of the Album Artists were the same ... I renamed all of the Albums to Album Artists but kept the Artists on the same album as they were....
for example a CD called, Best of Dance features 30 songs with 30 different artists ... so I renamed all the album artists to Various Artists to see ( and PLAY ) all the songs if I selected the Album ... ( were otherwise it will play ony THAT song I selected ... ) ..... so most of my Album Artists are "Various Artists"...
Tis all worked fine untill the updates as now my iPod SHOWS me under the list of ARTISTS ... the ALBUM ARTISTS... and that is almost all Various Artists and so it is VERY hard to search on Artists ... as not impossible ...I am not sure what happend but it seems iTunes changed the list of the Artists to Album Artists....
I found a script Artists to Album Artists ... from Doug Scripts .. but that runs only on a MAC instead of me using Windows 7 ....
Any Help would be nice ...., or any help to convert all the Artists to Album Artists could be a sort of workaround solution..
Regards Patwo

if you dont have many songs it wont show.
otherwise try reboot. hold home and sleep for 10 seconds, and then hold sleep for 3 seconds. otherwise click restore in itunes when plugged in

    If you didn’t erase the drive and install using you AppleID, then the OS and the purchased apps are still registered to the other AppleID. You cannot change that by logging into iCloud. Apps are forever tied to the AppleID used to purchase/download them.
    You have to erase the drive and download/install the Apps using your AppleID.

  • HT5622 How to select iPod touch in the Devices list?

    I am wanting to update my ipod touch 4.2.1 . How do I do this?
    Christian

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    Otherwise
    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

  • I just updated my Ipod touch to the newest software and now I can not get any of my songs to sync onto my Ipod. All of my songs were wiped from my Ipod but are still in my library and playlists on my computer, but when I click sync none of it works

    So I updated my Ipod touch to the newest software on my pc laptop which is windows 7. The software update wiped all of my songs and apps off of my Ipod. This is not that big of a deal because the songs and apps are still in my library and apps folder in itunes on my computer. The problem is, when I go to sync all my songs and apps back onto my ipod the tracks and apps are not syncing. It's almost as if the computer thinks all the songs are still already on the ipod but they are not. What do I do here?

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, restore from backup.

  • I had an iPod touch in the past.. Now I have the iPhone. And I got an iTues card and I can't purchase anything because it's asking for a security question since I've never purchased anything on this device yet.. I don't know the answers to the questions?

    I had an iPod touch in the past and used an iTunes card to purchase songs, I now have the iPhone and again bought an iTunes card to purchase things. Since I have not purchased anything on this device yet it is asking me two security questions that I don't know the answers to. What do I do?

    The Security Questions are not associated with your device - they are associated with your iTunes account/AppleID. If you cannot remember what you originally set up for your security questions, here are the instructions for getting them reset. First set are for if you set up a Rescue Email address, second set are for if you did not.

  • When I want to go back a page the drop down box is filled with the current page, all earlier sites have disappered out of sight

    When I have been at a site for a while and decide to go back, when I use the drop down box it has filled with the current page location. The longer I am there the more times it repeats its self.

    Did you try Safe Mode?
    An extension may be responsible for adding up those entries of the same page.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Input Text with LOV in table, the search list will be limited with 25 row?

    Hi, experts
    I got a strange problem with JDev 11.1.1.5.0, I created Input Text with LOV in Data View for one attribute with default setting, the LOV worked fine when I drop the DC with 'ADF form'; but when I drop it with ADF Table, the search function will just show 25 rows, I can see it try to fetch data when scroll down just like form, but then nothing happened, only the first 25 rows will be show without any error log.
    Any special configuration needed for LOV in table? or a bug in LOV?
    many thanks.

    You can change the range size on the VO which you use for the LOV. If you only want to change it for the VO the lov uses, select the VO in question in the application module data model and clic edit. There you enter -1 fro raneg size.
    If you want to change it globaly for this VO you open the VO and select the Tuning section and check 'all at once' which should get you all rows. Be careful that the VO don't return too much rows. A LOV wiht more then 50 rows is too big. In this case you may choose an other component.

  • Why is the toolbar in safari now black with white text after upgrading ipad 2 to ios7?

    My (retired) mum downloaded ios7 onto her ipad 2 yesterday but is now complaining that when she launchez Safari and uses google, the toolbar at the top of the screen is black with white text. She remembers something popping up during upgrade in the left of her screen about Privacy (?) which she clicked. Is there any way to return the tool/menu bar to its standard white with black text? Thanks.

    Tap the blue + sign in the upper right part of the toolbar. That will open a new tab with Favorites on the screen, if she has favorites in Safari. In the lower left corner she will see the word Private. Tap that to return to normal viewing mode again.

  • I have fixed the Buffalo drive issue now working with guide

    Ok so decided that apple where not bothering fixing the issue so i thought i would make a workaround.
    My 10.5.6 macbook could see the drive fine so decided to see if i could break 10.5.6 without doing the update to give the same error.
    and here is what i found
    If i installed the IOUSBMassstorageclass.kextfrom 10.5.7 using b7 kext installer after re-booting the caches would update and once it had re-booted the drive would stop working in the same way as the 10.5.7 update did.
    So here is the workaround
    get a copy of the IOUSBMassstorageclass.kext from 10.5.6 and back it up to a pendrive then using kext installer install he kext re-boot and buffalo drives will work again.
    I dont know if this is a bad thing to do i did not get any panics or kernel errors and everything seemed to go back to normal.
    So there you go apple thats the offending issue the kext now get it fixed

    This is a problem with a couple series of Buffalo drives ... NOT an "Apple" problem to fix. Buffalo has itself admitted this fact.
    In fact it's likely a problem with whomever provides Buffalo with their enclosure firmware if it isn't Buffalo themselves.
    This is why it may in fact affect more drives than just Buffalo's.
    Regardless, Clint is correct in that it is not Apple's responsibility to fix this issue, it is Buffalo's, and Buffalo both admits that and tries to avoid the issue by stating they do not support the use of their products on Macs.
    Note also that by installing the "workaround" at the top of this thread, you may not only be seriously destabilizing your system, but future Mac OS X updates may not apply or work properly.
    Kernel extensions are tested for interoperability with all other parts of Mac OS X, and to replace one version with another ignores the fact that other kernel extensions may rely upon behavior added or changed in the new version of the extension.
    It's sort of like bolting a tire and wheel from a 1992 car onto a brand new one; the car might drive for a while, but long term it's likely to be nothing but trouble and may in fact be downright dangerous.

  • HT1665 Does the iPhone 4 S now come with Apple Earpods if I were to buy them from the Apple website?

    I was thinking of buying an iPhone 5 and then realised it is too expensive so now i am looking to buy an iPhone 4s but I am wondering if it will now come free with Apple earpods instead of normal earphones as I think the earpods do look better than eaephones and will hopefully fit in my ears better, so if u know if they do come with earpods then please answer, Thanks.

    No, they come with the same earphones they always had.  You can purchase the Earpods at the Apple Online Store.

  • How can I download to my pc a conversation recorded in my iPod Touch using the voice notes??

    How can I download to my pc a conversation recorded in my iPod Touch using the voice notes????

    From the Users Guyide:
    Syncing Voice Memos
    iTunes syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPod touch to
    your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a
    backup if you delete them from iPod touch.
    Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it
    doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos
    app until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPod touch, it isn’t deleted
    from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from
    iTunes, it is deleted from iPod touch the next time you sync with iTunes.
    You can sync the iTunes Voice Memos playlist to the Music app on iPod touch using
    the Music pane in iTunes.
    Sync the Voice Memos playlist to iPod touch:
    1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
    2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the Devices list.
    3 Select Music at the top of the screen.
    4 Select the “Include voice memos” checkbox and click Apply.
    Some users have said that they had to first create a blank Voice Memos playlist for the memos to be synced to the computer.

  • Where is the "source list" within iTunes?

    I am completely new to iTunes & iPod, and am having serious trouble just trying to figure out the basics.  I believe that either something is wrong with  my USB port or something may be wrong with the iPod Nano, but cannot say for sure. Ultimately, I need to know what/where is the Source List on iTunes.  I have the most recent version of iTunes downloaded & installed.
    Thanks,
    ImaHousemouse

    Prior to iTunes 12 the sources list used to appear above all other playlists in the sidebar. The sidebar could be turned on or off with Ctrl+S. The source list is now a row of icons. Press the ellipsis button (highlighted) then use the checkboxes to show or hide sources. Press the Playlists button when viewing a source to display the playlists sidebar.

  • CDESK: How to get a customized content in the document list tab

    I try to get a specific list of document info records (DIR's) in the document list tab of the CDESK - similar to the document search result.
    I use the Addin-BADI and the ~PROCESS_NEW_FUNCTIONS/~ADD_NEW_FUNCTIONS methods to start a costumer specific selection of DIR's.
    For instance I want to select all documents with contain the digits 99.
    Then I want to show the selection result as the content of the document list tab to proceed with further steps like ckeck-out and so on.
    I followed an example which I found in this forum, see thread "CDESK: Start userdefined search program and recieve DIRs".
    My coding is:
    method if_ex_cdesk_tbm_addin~process_new_functions.
        when 'ZFCODE_ARBVOR'.
          data lt_draw type table of draw.
          select * from draw into table lt_draw
            where dokar = 'TKD'
              and doknr = '99'.
          sort lt_draw stable by dokar doknr doktl dokvr ascending.
          delete adjacent duplicates from lt_draw comparing dokar doknr doktl dokvr.
          PERFORM refresh_sap_list IN PROGRAM saplcdesk TABLES lt_draw USING 'X'.
    But nothing happens with the document list when executing this customer function.
    I assume it is not possible to update the document list out of a BADI in that way.
    Does anyone has some hints?
    Kind regards,
    Matthias Fischer

    Hi Khaled,
    There is an standard RFC RFC_READ_TABLE which can read any table in R/3. But the data returned will be unformatted hence you need to parse it. This FM has few limitations aswell.
    RFC_READ_TABLE is an RFC that allows users to read a table remotely. This is important particularly to Java developers using JCO to communicate with an ABAP back-end. Unfortunately, RFC_READ_TABLE has size limitations; it also incorrectly reads binary data. Also no authorization checking takes place.
    Also refer the link below
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/ep/portal-content/simplified queries of sap tables from java
    hope this helps..
