ITunes Artist Name Doesn't Transfer To iPhone

Hey everyone. I'm using an iPhone 5S, newest firmware, iTunes totally up to date on Mac. I had an issue where I had to delete all my songs on my phone, and put everything back on. After doing that, I noticed that a lot of songs I have aren't keeping the name of the artist that I've given the song, but instead reverting back to what iTunes store gives it. For Example, I buy a lot of video game soundtracks from iTunes. I rename all of the artists names to "Video Games" so they'll be sorted all together so they can all be easily found. So the composer for the Assassin's Creed soundtrack is Jesper Kid, but I change it to "Video Games". Prior to this incident all of them were listed as Video Games as the artist in iTunes and on my phone library. They have all now reverted back to Jesper Kid as the artist in my phone. However, in iTunes under the artist column, they are all still listed as video games, but when I move them to the phone, they don't stay Video Games and turn back into Jesper Kid. In the sorta options for every song, it's all listed to sort as "Video Games", Jesper Kid isn't listed anywhere in the sorting. Does anyone know why it's doing this? Are there any settings that I would need to change where the internet might change it back? If anyone knows anything please let me know, this is quite annoying and I've been doing it like this for years and I've never had this problem. Thanks a lot.
J

also I should note that other songs not done by Jesper Kid originally, now say Jesper Kid also. So everything that should say "Video Games" as the artist, now all say Jesper Kid, even though in iTunes they still say "Video Games" as the artist.

    Correct. You don't use iTunes to get photos off the iPhone.

  • ITunes 11.1 doesn't recognize my iPhone 4s with IOS 7 - phone is charging by iTunes doesn't see it.  Any suggestions?

    I upgraded my daughter's iMac to iTunes 11.1 and now it doesn't recognize her iPhone 4s.  The phone will charge and DropBox see's it but iTunes doesn't.  Any suggestions?  I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the software so that doesn't work.  Thanks for any help!

    Hello jlgougeon,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.http://apple.com/itunes/download
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.
    Best of luck,

  • I purchase ringtones on iphone, but they don't show up as purchased in itunes and i can't transfer from iphone to itunes.

    I have an iphone 3 on which i downloaded ringtones, two of which are not showing in itunes.  I now just purchased the iphone 4s.  When I synced the ringtones, those two were of course missing.  How do I get itunes to recognize that I purchased those ringtones on the iphone 3?
    Thanks!

    Well Defcom, your last response didn't fix it, however, it helped!
    You had me delete com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist and com.apple.ichatAgent.plist. I did that and restarted with no luck. However, when I was in there, I found one other file that was related that you didn't mention, com.apple.ichat.plist. I deleted it too, restarted and boom, it works and she shows up now. Also, the fonts and such are working properly now too haha. So while you didn't solve it, you pretty much did! Thanks for your timely and helpful responses!

  • ITunes 11.0 doesn't transfer album art to an iPhone

    My album artwork shows up in iTunes but when I transfer the MP3 files to my iPhone (6.0.1) the album artwork is either missing or I get the wrong artwork, that is, I get the artwork for another album.   I tried to delete one album cover from iTunes and then get a new one from the iTunes Store and I got a message that the artwork wasn't available.  I've also tried deleting the artwork cache and I've tried deleting the album out of iTunes and re-adding it but nothing helps.
    I've even loaded an app called Media Monkey onto my computer that can transfer the MP3 files to my iPhone with the artwork intact so there is nothing wrong with the file, the artwork or the phone, it's a problem with iTunes.
    Does anyone know how or why iTunes would delete or corrupt the album artwork on an MP3 file? 

    This might fix you're problem, but might not. I've only checked this for my solution.
    Steps:
    1. Go to iTunes
    2. Click iPhone
    3. On the Summary tab, UNCHECK "Convert higher bit rate songs to... AAC"
    4. Delete all songs without album art on iPhone
    5. Reupload deleted songs from iPhone back onto iPhone
    I've checked this with my iPhone plugged in, and when synced over wi-fi. Both worked fine and reuploaded my album art back on my iphone.
    I believe the reason why the album art does not transfer to the iPhone is because when the "convert higher bit rate songs" tab is checked, it pre-converts. Meaning, it converts the bitrate and I'm guessing the Metadata with the artwork. Thus, it removes the artwork because it's only recognizable on the original bitrate. Hopefully this works for you!

  • Artist scroll doesn't work on iphone 6

    Just got my new iphone 6.  In itunes the scroll function on the right of the screen doesn't work when searching by artist.

  • ITunes artist name replaced with numbers

    hi society,
    a few days ago, my USB stick containing my 500+ songs (5gb, 1.7 days worth) broke. i realized i had put all my music on iTunes just a day before it broke. i bought a new USB stick to replace my last one. though when i tried putting the music on my new USB, the artist section of the file name was replaced by 01, 02, 03, etc, which is something i really don't need.
    why does iTunes replace the filenames? how can i remove the unnecessary number label from these files quickly?
    thanks! (:

    Did you have your iPhone connected and selected in iTunes?

  • ITunes 11 - Search doesn't work on iphone playlists

    After installing iTunes, I realized that the search for songs, albums, etc. works only in the playlist music library.
    Unchecking the "library" from the search box, this should work for every single playlist in which you are located.
    When I connect my iphone and I want to search for a song maybe to erase it, it will not work, as it did in previous versions.
    I think it is an involution of the software.
    Thanks for suggestions.

    Yeah there seems to have been a massive oversight on this functionality. So far I have spent my morning trying to get Itunes 11 as close to the previous version as I can. Hopefully they will clear this up asap as it makes streaming music of the phone/editing songs next to impossible.
    Heres a few tips if you want the original look of the UI btw.
    Get the sidebar back by clicking View > Show Sidebar (or hitting Alt+Cmd+S).
    Get the status bar back by clicking View > Show Status Bar (or hit Command+/).
    Click Songs in the top bar, and sort by Artist for the traditional list view.

  • ITunes freezes (but doesn't crash) while iPhone is connected

    Hello all.
    Connecting my iPhone 4 to my computer immediately freezes iTunes. As soon as I unplug it, iTunes starts working again. I have iOS 4.3 and iTunes 10.2.1.1. I've tried drastic measures to fix the issue with no success:
    -Fully reinstalled iTunes multiple times
    -Deleted all media from my library (including music, photos, movies, podcasts, etc)
    -Deauthorized/Authorized computer
    -Disabled all non-iPhone services & startup items per apple's support site
    -Created a new Win7 user
    -Tried different usb cables/ports
    -Deleted all settings/files/etc from iPhone
    -Restored iOS software multiple times
    It baffles my mind that a freshly wiped iPhone plugged into a freshly installed iTunes with no media has these serious issues. What else can I do (short of reinstalling Win7, which I probably will try later)?
    A few more details:
    -The phone connects just fine to my macbook.
    -This issue started after an Amazon MP3 import went bad. I'm not sure if this is the cause, though. It worked fine for six months before this.
    -iTunes recognized the iPhone a few times during the troubleshooting process (for example, directly after a fresh iTunes install (but not after every fresh iTunes install)). If it ever recognized it, I could sync media just fine. But as soon as I unplugged and re-plugged the iPhone, the issue reappeared.
    I'd appreciate any help.
    Thank you
    Richard

    I just found an email address: [email protected]
    I sent an email to it. Although based on the automated response I think this is an email address for developers to use. I can't find a proper way to report a bug. Anyway this is what I sent. I'll let you know if I get a response, but I won't hold my breath!
    Hi Apple,
    I've no idea if this is the right way to report a bug, but no one at Apple seems to read the forums.
    Loads of people have a sync problem with the latest iTunes and Windows 7 x64, although it does appear to be affecting some Mac users as well.
    See this thread: http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2046610&tstart=28
    And this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1825333&start=0&tstart=0
    And this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13233907#13233907
    And more threads!
    iTunes completely freezes the second any IOS device is connected, and unfreezes as soon as it is disconnected. This makes syncing impossible and renders the device useless as a media player.
    Is anyone working on this? It would be nice if Apple staff occasionally gave some input in the forums so we know if a bug is known to you or not.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Itunes and iphoto doesn't recognize my iphone.

    Normally when I plug my Iphone 4 into my MacBook, the itunes icon and iphoto icon always pop up, these last 2 days they haven't and when I manually open them my device isn't located. When pluging my iphone into the computer it also isn't charging. I have tried different charging cords that work when plugged into an outlet device so I know they are working. Not sure what to do?

    There are some additional troubleshooting steps you can try here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591.

  • ITunes 10.0 does not recognize my iPhone under my main user name

    iTunes 10.0 doesn't recognize my iPhone when I am logged in under my main user name. It also freezes frequently and takes a very, very long time to open (it does recognize my iPod). However, if I log in as a different user, iTunes works fine; it recognizes my iPhone right away, opens quickly and doesn't freeze.
    All of my important stuff is stored under my main user name so I need to get iTunes to work when I am logged in under that. I have all administrator privileges/access.
    Does anyone know what this means and what, if anything, I can do to fix it? I have uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes multiple times, checked the USB ports, updated software, drivers and everything else Apple recommends.
