Lyrics do not show up on iphone

I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2.1. I can no longer get the lyrics to display on the iPhone. I have the option checked on the iPhone to display the lyrics, and I have checked several songs in iTunes to make sure the songs have lyrics. Is there something else that I am missing? All of my sonngs are MP3's that I have imported into iTunes. I checked my wife's iPhone (an iPhone 4 as well) as it has the same issue.
Any help would be appreciated.

I had a similar issue, some of my lyrics were visible on the iPhone, some were not.
I have found some hints after searching the internet, but not the complete solution, so I thought I just post what I did here.
I have seen 2 solutions;
- Convert the songs with lyrics to AAC, either completely or only when transferring to the iPhone.
I want to keep my files in MP3 format, so I did not go that route.
- I found that the only way the lyrics end up usable on the iPhone is when they are added or altered while the ID3 tag version of the MP3 is 2.3, not 2.4. It may work if the ID3 tag version is older than 2.3, I have not tried.
So what I did was
- Convert the ID3 tag version for the MP3 files to 2.3
In iTunes this is done by right-clicking the MP3(s) and choose 'Convert ID3 tags...', then set it to 2.3
- Add or change the lyrics of the MP3 files, this can be done in iTunes too
- Sync your iPhone
- It should work now...
Funny thing is that if you convert the ID3 tags to version 2.4 afterwards, then sync the iPhone, they still show up. I guess it is a weird bug.

My total amount of DOWNLOADED APPS. do NOT show up on iPhone HOME pages.

My total amount of DOWNLOADED APPS. do NOT show up on iPhone HOME pages.
I have the BIG DOG 16 gig iPhone and I am only limitted to 9 pages of APPS.
For what I PAID for this GREAT Phone, there should be NO LIMIT as to how many APPS. that I can download until and UNLESS my memory is FULL, which it is NOT even half full yet.
APPLE: Please change this LIMITATION, because there seems to be thousands of APPS. to choose from. Just as you have NO-LIMIT on the number of songs that I can download, I would like it to be the SAME for my APPS.
Thank you.

This ***** badly

Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

Thank you. This solved my problem too.
But, one little thing to share:
"There's an option in settings for Playlists. It was set to Music only. Changed that to All then found the movie playlist under Movies by selecting Genre."
This is not to be done in iTunes in your computer; this is to be done at your apple TV under "setting". "audio video" "show playlist" "music only/all"
I am posting this here because I started chat mode with Apple support last night at midnight till 1:30, they didn't know what to do.
They called me back this morning at 10 am.
It's not 11:40 they finally know what I am talking about and showed me where to to find the "music only / all" toggle. My problem is now fixed;
all these time, they have in front of them a screen shot of your questions and answer but they don't know where to change it from music only to all.
So, I hope this will save the next victim a lot of time.
Again, thank you.

Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

Podcast descriptions not showing up on iPhone

I've found it annoying that podcasts don't show their program description on my iPhone. So, I wrote a little AppleScript to go through and update the podcast's "lyrics" to be the description. That way, when playing the podcast on my iPhone, the description (stored in the "lyrics" field) are shown on my iPhone screen. If you want to use this, open up the AppleScript editor, paste this code, and save the resulting script in the folder "~/Library/iTunes/Script". Your new script should appear in the script menu right in iTunes. When you run it, it will update the podcasts downloaded in iTunes so the description will appear on my iPhone screen. Hope others find this useful. My thanks to Thabo Da Husky for the idea. Here's the code:
tell application "iTunes"
    repeat with podTrack in tracks of user playlist "Podcasts"
        if ((get lyrics of podTrack) = "") then
            set lyrics of podTrack to (get description of podTrack)
        end if
    end repeat
end tell

Hmm. Well, yes, now I see the scripts icon at the top of my iTunes screen (I had named the folder Script; once I added the "s" to the end, the Scripts icon showed up). But for some reason the script is not working. Not only is the description not pasting into the lyrics field, but the description no longer shows up on the iTunes listing. I can see the description when I control-click on the file and look at "Show description", but not in the iTunes listing on my Mac or in the lyrics field on the Mac or the iPhone. I just added some new podcast episodes, and before even running the script, they came over to iTunes without the description showing up. Selecting them and running the script has no effect. Any idea what has happened?
(And I do appreciate you taking the time to help me on this.)

Certain artist pictures not showing up on iPhone

Hello,
We all know that iOS 7 has artist pictures in the Music app that are default chosen by iTunes. For most of my artists, this new feature works perfectly fine, except for the artists that do not have a picture chosen by iTunes, and I'm ok with that. The thing that's irritating me beyond comprehension is the artists that i KNOW have a picture chosen by iTunes that refuses to show up on my iPhone 4. I'm 100% sure on the spelling and spacing and everything, but for about five artists on my iPhone, the picture will not come up.
Example:
(screenshot taken from the iTunes store). As you can see, this band has a picture. But on my iPhone, it won't show up--it just shows the album artwork of one of their albums. I have no idea if it has something to do with the unpopularity of the band or something, but I have deleted it off iTunes, synced my iPhone, added the songs back, synced my iPhone again and it still won't show up. So resyncing does not work. It's as if its encoded into the device or something bizarre like that.
I've tried the solutions posted onto this discussion: iOS 7 music app does not display artist pictures and has incorrect album art after master reset. but it only worked for my brand new song additions, which had not yet loaded the artist pictures. The songs by Fujifabric (band in the screenshot I inserted) I have had for over a year and the artist picture still has not come up.
It's a petty problem but as a mild perfectionist it's really a pain in the *ss. Thank you for any help.

Last night I downloaded 5 years worth of pictures from my iPhone to my iPhoto on my Mac book, I needed the space on my phone so I deleted all the photos when the pop up asked if I wanted to delete or keep. Before I did this I downloaded and installed the iPhoto app for iPhone and it seemed the pictures were showing up in the app.
And are the photos now showing in iPhoto on your Mac, or did that go wrong?
After I deleted and from the photo library on the phone and unplugged from Mac Book it seemed an update was happening and pics were loading to the app. This morning I checked and NOTHING is showing up in the iPhoto app besides photo stream and one shared folder.
What is it you expected to happen? iPhoto on your iPhone will show you all photos stored on your iPhone, but it does not show you the photos in iPhoto on your Mac. When you deleted the photos from your Camera Roll and the Photos.app on your iPhone, you deleted them also from iPhoto on the iPhone. The iPhoto app does not store photos , it just organized the photos that are stored elsewhere on the iPhone and shows them in one place.
If you want the photos back on your iPhone, create albums in iPhoto on your mac and then sync these albums to your iPhone using iTunes.

My Google Calendar will not show up on iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.1. What do?

I just got an iPhone 4S (bougtt used through a third party, in case it may make a difference) and I'm having issues connecting Google's calendar.
I've followed instructions here: http://michaelhyatt.com/how-to-setup-google-calendar-on-your-iphone-4.html;
here: http://www.craigbailey.net/google-calendars-not-showing-in-ios7/
and of course, here: https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/139206?hl=en
But so far, nothing has worked.
I should note that I can see the account itself under the Mail, Contacts, Calendars tab, the Calendars option is switched on and all other Google features (e.g. Gmail, notes and contacts) are operating fine. I also have an iPad mini which I bought in June 2013 (first hand) and has been displaying Google Calendar without any issues from Day 1. I've compared the settings on both devices and could not find any difference.
In short, I'm at a complete loss here and would greatly appreciate some help.

Same issue when I try to select the most recently taken photo thumbnail, bottom left: freezes.Problem is fairly recent, I don't think it ever happened before the last update.

Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago). Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer. I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54. The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app. Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists. Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes? Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

How to create custom ringtones ...
1. Open iTunes.
2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
6. Click the "Options" tab.
7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
9. Click "OK."
10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
Hope this is useful ...

I updated to itunes 10.5.1 and my tones will not show up on iphone anywhere.

I have the setting to automatic sync everything. I have click and dragged the ringtones individually. The ringtones show up in my itunes but not on my phone, in fact the 'tones' catagory does not show up in the search section of the phone. HELP. I went to itunes on the phone and it said all purchases avaliable to be downloaded onto the phone were, it listed the songs but not the ringtones. Is the new software not compatible with the old ringtones?

thanks i tried that and was still unsuccessful, so i restored the iphone and now they are there.

Ringtone Not Showing Up in iPhone

I purchased a song from iTunes. Utilized the 'Create Ringtone' tool within iTunes and purchased the ringtone. I synched the phone with my computer. The 'Ringtone' folder in my Library and on my iPhone both show the new ringtone which I created so it seems as though it was synched correctly. However the ringtone does not show up on my iPhone under Settings>Sounds>Ringtone. Just the standard out-of-box ringtones are there.
The ringtone is under 30 seconds. Manually synch ringtones is unchecked. I am baffled by this one. I synched the phone multiple times. What am I missing? I thought I was pretty savvy at the iPhone but this is my first custom ringtone so I guess I have a lot to learn.

Were these ringtones purchased or created via exporting to a 40 second clip? To play them on your phone they must be less than 30 seconds AND in AAC format with a .m4r extension. Technically you can create a ringtone from any song in your library by doing this. In file info of th song change the start and stop time to any :30 second...or less... Time and follow the preceding steps.
Good luck.

Photostream/Cameraroll Photos not showing up on iPhone 4S

I have been taking photos from lock screen (home button twice, photo icon on screen, plus volume button), and the photos are not showing up in Camera Roll on the iphone 4s. They show up in Photostream on mac, but not on the phone its self. Help, Ideas? Have tried closing photo app, turning phone off and on. None work.

OK, that won't be it then.
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
