Lyrics not displaying on nano

I am trying to see lyrics on my nano. Is it possible to see lyrics? From research I have done it seems like I should be able to see it if I have lyrics on Itunes and then playing song on nano then clicking center button and keep going and lyrics should come up. I have the lyrics on iTunes. Then I go to song>center button says the name of the song>then I have genius thing come up. >Then rating and then I have shuffle symbol and song and album thing come up. I don't see any lyrics. I have iTunes 10.0.0 version and my software on Nano says up to date. I would love to see the lyrics.
Thanks

Is it possible to see lyrics?
Yes
Go onto Itunes - Select the song you want to add lyrics to - right click it - click 'Get Info' - go to the 'Lyrics' tab - then find lyrics online and copy and paste them into there (if have not previously done so).
Click OK, and then sync your iPod and it should be done.
Full instructions are also in the iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual starting with Chapter 2 pg 21 and Chapter 3 pg 37

Lyrics not displaying correctly

I'm trying to add lyrics to the Song "恋に焦がれた八百万" (maybe because of unicode characters?) which I've got as .aiff-File (about 50 MB big).
However, when I copy/paste the entire lyrics, the iPhone displays it as blank. More strangely, when I only write "Test" as lyrics, it displays them normally.
I'd have to play around a little do determine the maximum length of lyrics. When I tried typing in just the first two lines, it didn't work either so I don't think it's a limit Apple intended, since other lyrics work just fine.
Here are two screenshots of different songs, both in .aiff-Format. One showing lyrics, the other not.

I fixed it myself using a hex-editor and manually remove the entire ID3 section, then add everything back by hand. This seems to me like an iPod.app-bug since more than one external tool (one written by myself) told me all ID3-tags were set correctly.

Download ID3 Editor, remove all ID3 and ID3v2 tags, then re-add everything within iTunes by hand

Lyrics not displaying

I have a 4th generation, 20GB iPod with color display. I've entered my lyrics properly into iTunes and synced my iPod. (even tried to format the iPod and re-sync) I cannot see the lyrics screen when I press the centre button (4 times) - after the album artwork I get to the ratings screen and then after the ratings screen I am not getting the lyrics display...just back to the beginning again. Any suggestions?

Here's how to add and view lyrics

Lyrics not show in Nano-keep pressing the center button but nothing, help!!

Hi there,
i keep pressing the center button until the lyrics appears but still nothing there, can you please help.
thx

I'm not sure if the right click will work. I instead will click on a song and select "get info", then choose the lyric tab.
-Isn't that exactly what she said she did?
Does the lyrics pane come up empty on the iPod, or does it go straight from artwork to ratings and completely skip the lyics?

Playlists, songs not displaying on nano

I am unable to see any new playlist or song in my iPod nano.
I just purchased a 4GB black nano, installed iTunes 5.01.
To try it out, I purchased 1 album and 3 individual songs. iTunes created a playlist called "Purchased". All songs were downloaded and put into this playlist.
I have tried both option setting to auto and manual updates. I can see my iPod and everything as it should be from iTunes but when I browse the iPod nothing shows up.
I have restored factory settings and tried again.. Still nothing shows up despite I can see it in iTunes.

Hah! I figured it out. I had a virtual drive mapped to d: (from the subst command in my startup). I removed the mapped drive and all was well.
I had a hint that this was the problem from another thread.
I wish it could have at least given me an error message that would have given me a clue..
Anyhow, problem solved and everything is working great!

IPod Nano (2nd gen.) not displaying in finder or desktop

iPod Nano (2nd gen.) not displaying in finder or desktop BUT shows up in iTunes, it used to show up on the desktop, I don't get it
help would be appreciated
Thanks

Have the same issue but with latest iPod nano 7 Gen, second day trying

My Ipad will not display song lyrics

I upgraded to ios 5 and it will not display song lyrics for songs that I put lyrics in for.
any ideas?

I tried Lyrics View but it didn't work well for me. It listed music by song title, there was no way to change that to list by artist or album, and it was difficult to select a song to listen to; often a different one would play than the one highlighted.
Pauser Pro works better but it's still frustrating. I do enjoy being able to see lyrics again, but music is listed alphabetically by song title rather than by artist or album, and there is no preference panel which lets you change that by default. If you want to hear all the songs on a specific album and you select the artist, you get an alphabetized list of his or her songs with a blue cross to the left of each. Clicking All Songs places them on a list, which you can then click on to play a specific song. But you have to put the songs in that list first, and I was unable to make separate lists for each artist; attempts to do so led to them all being placed at the end of the first list.
I was finally able to make up a Playlist using a specific genre on iTunes on my computer, transfer it to my iPad, and then access it through Pauser Pro, but the artists were again mostly mixed up and it took a very long time to rearrange them by artist so I could select one and hear all the songs by one person or group. Of course, after that it continues to the next artist on the list, but at least I don't have to keep fiddling with it while I'm busy doing something else and just trying to enjoy some music.
I contacted the developer about these issues and essentially was told that the app was primarily developed for professionals performing on a stage and that it worked well for that purpose. I'm still not clear on how to create discrete lists in one wished to do that, though.

Ipod nano does not display the picture covers

Hello, I have a 2nd generation nano. I used to "associate" a picture (the album cover) with the song files in itunes and they were displayed in the Nano.
Suddenly the nano stopped to display the pics. I deleted all the songs and put them again and I reseted the nano and now even the old files are not displaying the pictures, although itunes displays them correctly.
I hope I didn't mess too much with the explanation. sorry.
Does anybody know how can I see the covers again?
Thank you.

If you are using iTunes from version 7 onwards, then when you connect the iPod the summary screen should automatically open.
If you click on the 'music' tab, you will see the option to:
"display album artwork on your iPod".
Make sure it's still selected.

Artist is NOT displayed for some artists on my Nano

Even though it is displayed on my itunes, the artist Michael McDonald is NOT displayed on my IPOD Nano, His album IS displayed on my ipon Nano. It's irritating becasue I remember artist names better than album names.
I went to itunes and checked the iinfo on the file. It was ok. Tried resinking and even erasing and resyning. Did not work. WHAT IS UP. Haven't done a complete search to figure out how many other artists dont show up on my Nano. This is the first one.

There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.

Why does my nano suddenly not display audiobooks option?

Why does my nano suddenly not display the audiobooks option?

There are options on the iPod's Settings screen to show or not show items in the various menus.
For example, on my 5th gen nano, Audiobooks in on the Music menu. In Settings - General - Music Menu, I can select to show Audiobooks or not, on the Music menu.

File size of Notes on iPod nano?

Hello,
my question is about the file size of notes to be handled by the iPod nano.
I have copied several ASCII text-files into the Notes folder of my iPod nano. Each has a size of approx. 20 kByte. Windows Explorer shows them in the iPod Notes folder with their original size.
However, when opening one of the text files on the iPod nano, text is only displayed until approx. 700 words (approx. 4000 characters), which corresponds to approx. 4 kByte. The larger rest of the file is not displayed, as if it was cut.
Is this an error?
Or is 4 kByte the max. size of text files which can be displayed as notes on the iPod nano?
I have updated the iPod nano firmware recently with release 1.1.
Thanks in advance for any help!

There is an online utility for doing this - will save you tons of time AND adds links so you go from one section of the larger file to the next:

Until they inprove the file size that the iPods can read, this is your only real way to use your iPod as an ebook reader.

ITunes does not recognize iPod Nano (5th gen)

This just started recently...
I am running OS X 10.5.8 on my PPC G5 Dual 2.0 and iTunes 10.4.1.
I am experiencing 2 problems:
1. iTunes no longer sees my iPod Nano - the iPod shows on my computer but iTunes does not display the "DEVICES" section in the left side bar.
(It had been working before but I think this happened after I upgraded to iTunes 10.4.1)
2. Whenever I quit iTunes it takes a few seconds to close the iTunes menu bar and then displays the error message "the application itunes quit unexpectedly".
I have been all over these forums and followed every bit of information I could find.
I've reset the iPod
I've tried every USB port available
I've uninstalled iTunes and installed a freshly downloaded version
I've run Disk Utility several times (below are the results from the last run...)

Does not display in iTunes -- How can I restore it?

I have not used my Nano for a while, and I upgraded to Leopard from Tiger since. I just plugged in my Nano and it briefly shows up in iTunes though it gives me a message that it was not properly disconnected and it disappears and in a minute or so it reconnects and disconnects again It keeps doing this.
I want to just restore it, though it does not display in iTunes long enough for me to do so. How can I restore it without being in iTunes?
Thanks.

You might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

How do I get song lyrics to display?

The word "lyrics" is never displayed, but if you paste lyrics into a song, they'll be shown when you press the centre button "enough" times. Note that if there are _no lyrics_ associated with the song (because you didn't put them there) the "button pushes" will take you from On/Off (the shuffle feature) to Play - no mention of lyrics!
I hope that helps!
