IPod Video - Display Settings (Title, Artist, Album...)

I am trying to figure out if I can alter my IPod Video display settings. When a song is playing, it shows the album art with the song title, artist, and album adjacent. Is there a away to change this display so that it does not display the album while the song is currently playing?

However, there is a second area on the menu that is designed to list title, artist and album but those fields are blank - despite I-tunes inclusion of the info in the xferred files.
JCP,
Regarding the tags, on an MP3 CD iTunes simply burns whatever is embedded in the MP3 file. From your description, it sounds like the Onkyo is seeing the filenames but not the tags, which does seem strange. You may want to try the question in an Onkyo forum.
If you don't need the pre-pended serial number, and don't care about the sequence, you can burn from iTunes as a data CD instead of an MP3 CD.

ITunes radio not displaying song titles, artists, or album artwork.

iTunes radio on my iphone 5 doesn't display the song title, artist name, or any album artwork. It's just blank. Tried signing in and out of iTunes, turning phone on/off to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have this same problem. I also don't have any of the price info for the track. This problem is on my iPhone 5s, iPad and iPad mini.
I tested out iTunes Radio on my wife's iPad and it works fine - album art, track names, album info, price and buying info.
The information in the "i" button is also blank on all my devices and not on my wife's iPad.
This is very frustrating because I can never know what the track is that I'm listening to and can't buy it if I like it.

Why my iPOD 60G doesn't display all the artist & album name on screen?

Can somebody help me with this.
Do I have to change something in my iPOD to work?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is the name too long and it has a "..." at the end?
If so, this is normal.
I would...
Send Apple Your Feedback
And tell Apple that the artist/album info should scroll like the song name.
Or is this happening?

Minor graphical issue in the Title/Artist/Album bar

Is anyone else having an issue with the name/artist/album bar whenever hiding/showing iTunes? It seems like the words are basically surrounded by a sort of blackness. I've got a screen shot so that anyone helping can know what I mean:
Does anyone know how to fix this? I've found a temporary solution of just changing the view to another view and back, but I want something less annoying.

I am getting the same thing in iTunes 7.0.1. I also have a screen grab avaialable. It seems to happen when iTunes is already running but is hidden and you un-hide the window by clicking the iTunes icon in the dock. If you move the columns while the blackness is visible, the columns affected by the move seem to clear themselves up while the other blackened column headings stay dark.

Why Doesn't iPod Classuc Display Music by Artist & Year?

I have a problem I'm wondering why Apple hasn't addressed this yet. I have all of my music separated by Artist and by Album. I've even went so far as to properly enter in the year that the album was released yet the iPod Classic still refuses to display my music in the order in which it was released.
Meaning ... I have several artists on my iPod and each artist has several albums. However, no matter if you enter in the "year" the album was released in it's ID3 tags (using the iTunes software), the iPod Classic will only display your music by Artist and then it will only list the albums in alphabetical order, not in order by year.
In order to get my music to display by Artist and then by Year, I have to enter the year in the album's name:
(1980) Best Hits
(1981) Year of the Dragon
I think it bites that Apple can't fix this problem.

What a spectacularly rude individual.
The point was no one can give you any help on this except Apple, they would have to alter the iPod interface to do this, hence the link to feedback. Thought I would save some words and just point you that way. In the future I'm not going to touch a key to even do that, but I think your current work around is as close as you are going to get.

No I.D. for song titles, artists, album

Just bought a Nano and a new Sony Vaio Notebook. Ripped a new Neil Young CD into the IPOD software program. Songs came up in M4A format but neither the artist nor the album
are identified so I stopped without adding new songs since I would not be able to ID any of them. Music played fine but no way to tell what is what. Also, the software does not show an OPTIONS button in the lower right corner as described in the manual. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Nope there is no way to stop that. That is the iPod Nano operating system.

IPod Touch displaying only half-screen album art

Hey all,
I'm using an iTouch 1G, and I love it. Unfortunately, over the past few weeks, iTunes seems to have a problem putting the album art for songs onto my iPod Touch.
Here's an image of what it looks like:
The bottom half of the image is missing, and it does not appear at all when in coverflow mode.
There doesn't seem to be any specific pattern to the errors, either. This problem occurs with both tracks purchased from iTunes, (such as this image, specifically) and with other tracks that I rip from CDs, and even some that I import the image from.
When browsing some of the other topics related to this problem, many people suggested using a high res image for the album art, but I can assure you that I have 300x300 min for the art that I have downloaded, and even then, it doesn't explain why PURCHASED music has the same problem.
I'm just throwing this out here to see if anyone else is having this problem, and if anyone knows what to do to fix it?
Maybe its a bug in iTunes; by which case- Please be aware that this is a problem!
Thanks!
Tom

IPod Video (first generation) RANDOM crashing!

Hi,
Ive had my ipod for almost a year now (purchased in November), and all of the sudden, not even right after i updated my ipod with the new ipod software update - just now - it starts crashing at random. I will be playing through a playlist and then it will go to a certain song, and - click, turn off and the apple logo comes up. It goes back to the main menu eventually, and then it will happen again as im playing through again. What is going on? is anyone else having this problem? Ive tried resetting it, but not restoring. Any ideas?
Thanks

yeah I totally feel you on that... you have XP so I kind of know how to help... its mega basic but a lot of steps (n.n)
Start>search>
click "all files or folders" and select the ipod drive
click "more advanced options" and select "mpeg layer 3 audio"
hit search and all of your files will pop up
right click where TITLE, ARTIST, SIZE, BIT RATE etc are (the way you can quickly sort your files).
Select "more"
check "channels" and hit OK
and then sort your files by channel.. it might take a couple minutes if you have a ton of songs..
you'll see files that are "1(MONO)" .. hover over them to find the title/artist/album info
make a list of the songs in a word document/notepad
close the search
open itunes w/ ipod connected
Search for the songs you found as mono on your itunes,
Right click>get info>summary (tab)
check that they say Channel:Mono before you delete them from your ipod.
re-download them in stereo format or convert the files to stereo and add them to your ipod again.
happy musicating!

Converting TV shows for iPod Video - Please help!

I have been trying all week to get one single tv show on my iPod, but I have had no success. I have been using Quicktime Pro with the iPod video export settings which takes forever, but every time the video is finished, it plays in iTunes with no sound. I have called tech support several times and they offered advice like, "Try using Divx to convert it into a .mov," but it never works. The types of files I am trying to convert are mpeg1 & 2, and .avi (downloaded files from p2p) but like I said, no success. If anyone can offer some straightforward advice about other programs to use, or what I may be doing wrong, it would be extremely helpful. I am using a brand new iBook G4. I understand you can use Handbrake to convert DVD's, but most of my files are tv shows, and would like to have some Simpsons or Family Guy in my iPod. Currently, I am waiting for Quicktime to convert three more mpeg files into the iPod format, and if it doesn't work, I will stop trying completely and stick to only movies, I guess. Oh, by the way, I have tried using iMovie to import files and it also experiences the same issues as Quicktime after it is added - no sound! Thanks again guys, I really appreciate your responses.

QuickTime Pro will not transcode any form of muxed MPEG file correctly on its own.
Forty-TwoDVD-VXPlus ($14.99) will convert MPEG1 but not sure about MPEG2 and M2/AC3 VOBs.
MPEG2QT ($15) and MPEG2 Works 4 ($25) will convert MPEG1/2 and M2/AC3 VOBs. With regard to AVI files there are more than one type. If QT Pro won't handle them then you need to check DivX and/or 3ivX modules. However, as far as I know, DivX are still trying get their QT 7 component to work with DivX v5.x and the v6 has yet to be released.
Tried PSPWare v2.1.4 in free, unregistered mode and it converted MPEG1 files without a problem. But all of my other, more common test file types failed to convert.
Also tried MPEG StreamClip (free) which some users claimed worked fine. It kept cutting off the audio before reaching the end of the video in the target files (w/MPEG4 settings).

HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod. It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

ITunes 8.1 Cover Flow - Won't Display Full Album Titles/Artist Names

I don't understand why Apple would change Cover Flow to display less characters than before, but many, many artists/albums aren't showing complete titles, with an elipse marking where it gives up. There doesn't seem to be a universal character limit either, as, bizarrely, a few short titles like 'Come On Pilgrim' aren't showing either.
Does anybody else suffer from this problem? Is it fixable? If not, I think I'll be rolling back.

Just to add, when the album is selected on my ATV, all track names are shown so they're obviously in the system. It's only when they start playing that most of the time I just get 'Track 4' etc.

HT1351 Only want to see sync songs/artists/albums on iPod touch (not the whole library in iTunes). How to do it?

I only want to see on iPod touch songs/artists/albums manually selected for sync (not the whole library in iTunes). How to do it? Not sync titles appear in grey colour...

So if I understand you correctly, you want to be able to sync only certain songs, artists, and albums correct? If so you can configure this set up from under the iPod's Music configuration tab in iTunes as described in the Syncing Automatically section in the Apple support document you linked in at the top of the page. Note that you cannot select only certain songs, but you can set it up to sync selected Artists, Genres, and Albums.
If the tab and its configurations are grayed out, it is likely because your iPod is set up for manual management, meaning the manually manage music and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab.

Ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song

ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song... i cant see the the volume display to adjust it eiether. Everyting shows up in the menus just not on the now playing screen.... any suggestions?

Try restoring your iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

Help! Screen won't display title, artist etc only Now Playing.

Hope you can help. I've only had my nano for a few days and it was great to start with, but when I'm playing music the screen will only display Now Playing and the album cover and the centre button does not do anything at all. Any suggestions?

Try re-setting it first:
1) Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2) Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
There's a fuller explanation of resetting here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
If that doesn't work you may have to restore your iPod to factory settings. That will erase what is currently on it and return it to how it was when you first got it which should clear whatever is going on: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
