Missing songs under artist but still in songs

I have uploaded all of my songs and in Itunes all the songs have artists, but they dont show up under that artist name in the ipod. Example in itunes the song is called Charlie and artist is red hot chili peppers but on my Ipod it is not under red hot chili peppers. But if i search for the song under all songs it is still there. Can anyone help?????

They need album names.
See: Some songs don't don't show under artist on my iPod.
From what I understand, once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.
Providing the spelling for the artists is exactly the same of course.

  • De-cluttering tip: Is there a way to prevent a track from showing up under "Artist" while still being able to view the artist info when I play the song by Album?

    I asked this question here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15312099#15312099
    It was suggested I re-post in this forum, seeing as the problem may be specific to the Touch.
    So, I have lots of "compilation" albums that include songs by various artists (for example, Pitchfork's top 500 singles of the decade). I usually select my music by "Artist," and now my ipod is super cluttered, because now I have hundreds and hundreds of artists listed, many of which I only have one or two songs by from this compilation.
    One solution: simply delete the artist information for these large compilations, and then the songs from the compilations will no longer show up under "Artists." Problem is, I would like to know who the artists are when I play the compilation (I simply don't want to have the artists listed under "Artists")
    Another solution: I could manually delete the artist info, but paste that info on to the song name. For example, a track that once looked like:
    Artist: Nirvana
    Title: Smells Like Teen Spirit
    Album: Best of the '90s
    After my editing, would look like:
    Artist: [blank]
    Title: Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
    Album: Best of the '90s
    This would solve my problem...but it would literally take hours to do for each and every individual song. Not practical.
    Does any one have any other suggestions? It seems like there would be a way to just check a box for what info you want to be listed (ie, I could un-check "Artist," and then the song would no longer be listed by Artist, even though the Artist information would still be retained for reference). Does this option exist?
    In the prior thread, someone suggested I mark it as a "compilation" in iTunes. But that did not prevent the individual artists from being listed under "Artists." Someone suggested that I may need to turn "Compilation" to "On" on my iPod. But that does not seem to be an option on the Touch.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks!!

    Why not set the iPod to show Compilations?
    In Settings select Main menu (or Music menu) and check Compilations. (You can do so for both if you desire.)
    Now all of the Artists that only appear in compilation albums won't appear in Artists.
    To get to the Artists that only appear in compilation albums open Compilations in your Main Menu or Music Menu (or either).

  • TS5376 I have followed the instructions re these 2 errors "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer" but still not able to run iTunes. Anyone have a suggestion?

    Try completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all related components; you may need to do this multiple times. It won't normally affect the iTunes library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Songs don't appear on iphone 4 under artists but there with search

    Certain songs and albums have disappeared on my iphone 4 when I try to find them via the artist.  However, when I do a search, the songs are there and I can listen to them.  This happened after the most recent update, of course. 
    And yes, I made sure the artists are entered correctly. 

    I'm having this problem too.  I poked around and it looks like this is a common problem; there are several threads related to this.  An example is https://discussions.apple.com/message/16210142#16210142.  Basically, if an album or song that you import is marked as 'part of a compilation' the song and/or album won't show up when you list things by artist.  To fix the problem choose the song and choose 'Get Info' from the 'File' menu.  Uncheck the 'part of a compilation' box near to bottom of the window.
    Unfortunately, you have to do this one song at a time.  You cannot choose a bunch of songs and do this, because the 'part of a compilation' box doesn't appear.
    Good luck!

  • Missing music in playlist but still in library...

    A few days ago when i connected my Ipod Touch to itunes, it cleared my intire ipod. Well its music anyway. it has done this a few other times as well. I got some of the songs back on there but i still cant get them all back onto my ipod. I looked in my library and all the songs are there, but i cant get them on my playlist. First, how do i get them back into my playlist? And second, why does it keep doing this?

    how do i get them back into my playlist?
    On the left side ofTunes, drag from Library -> Music to the playlist you want it in.
    why does it keep doing this?
    Are you deleting the playlists the song(s) are in?

  • STRANGE: single clip missing in export! (but still in the timeline)

    Strangest thing: I exported a project... and a SINGLE clip is missing. BUT... the "key" over that clip shows up (over "black.") Hmmm... So I went back to the timeline... the clip is STILL THERE! So, I re-rendered, exported again... SAME THING. That one darned clip goes "black" w/ the key over it. Any suggestions?

    NOTE: Had no problem exporting this same project before.
    1.) even clip info = 720 x 480 / 29.97 fps (same as ALL clips throughout entire project)
    2.) Timeline info = 720 x 480 DV Anamorphic 29.97
    3.) Here's the clip in the timeline. (see image, it's the gentleman in the labcoat) Amazingly, in the export the "keys" appear over black. Just this ONE clip is missing--audio and video. No other clips are affected.
    4.) Finally, here is how I am exporting the project: (see image)

  • How to repair Lion's Recovery HD partition? (Missing from boot menu but still there in Disk Utility)

    Running a 2011 Macbook Air with Bootcamp (Win7).
    The Recovery HD disappeared from boot menu after installing Windows 7.
    The 650mb partition is still there (from Disk Utility "Show All Partitions") but cannot be accessed...
    What should I do if I want to enable Filevault 2? It needs the Recovery HD partition right?
    Help!

    The problem is Boot Camp:  It uses a hybrid GPT/MBR partitioning scheme - which ends up hiding the Recovery HD partition - which is an EFI physical partition (neither GPT nor MBR).
    I would expect a new version of Boot Camp to release - like real soon - because of the Recovery HD partition invisibility issue.
    In this article - it is suggested that rEFIt should be used to partition a hard drive that is going to support multiple boots including Mac OS X, LINUX, and Windows. 
    (http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/Triple_Boot_via_BootCamp)
    The key in the article to using Boot Camp with rEFIt is this:
    "Run the Boot Camp Assistant and create the Windows XP driver cd. Then exit Boot Camp.  DO NOT PARTITION USING BOOT CAMP: you are only using Boot Camp for the drivers, not the partitioning."
    All partitioning is done in terminal mode using the "diskutil" command.
    rEFIt is used to update both the GPT and MBR records so that all partitions will be visible using its "gptsync" command.
    Then - you replace the standard Mac boot menu with the rEFIt boot menu.  THAT will show the Mac OS X partition, Recovery HD (an EFI partition), and the Windows partition.
    My caveat is that rEFIt - which is open sourced and available here:  http://refit.sourceforge.net
    has not been recently updated and tested with respect to Mac OS X Lion.
    Hope this helps!

    A response on this subject from another post:
    It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
    To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
    If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
    The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.

  • Missing Artist names in iPod under lookup but the song is there

    I have all the approx 7,000 tunes on my LapTop that sync's into my iPod OK but there are some missing "Artist" names in my iPod when I lookup by Artist but the song is there in song lookup and it has the Artist name it the display.
    Some answers to some questions, my helper's maybe asking themselves are............
    I've loaded the songs into iTunes from the web as well as via CD's online with "Grace Notes" inputting song info also with me off line loading in songs from my internal and external hard drive. I have converted all songs that weren't under the option (create an ACC Version). My understanding this is this to create a .mp3 file within the iTunes Music Library Folder. I would then delete the originally song
    Any help or questions for me so far?
    Befuddled......

    You should also check that the songs have album name info in their ID tags.

    Once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.

  • My iPod touch (5th gen) doesn't list some albums in the artist's section. But still lists the individual songs in the music list. How can I better organize this?

    I recently bought an iPod touch 5th generation, I had a few CD albums here that I wanted to put into my new iPod, just like my old one. But with my old one I put them all in and it organized them all as the same artist (which they are), so under artists I just had to click on their name, then pick the album. In the 5th gen one, it puts the songs in my iPod, but I can't find the actual album under "Artists". I put 2 albums by this artist, but it only shows one, and the other is nowhere to be found, but it's still in my iPod, just as individual songs in the songs section. I don't think this'll be the only time I'm running into this problem on the 5th gen, I had trouble organizing some other songs. How can I better organize these albums, show them all under the same artist? I tried to re-write the artist name to be exactly the same, but that doesn't do anything.

    I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
    - Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.          
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Songs showing up in songlist but not under artists on ipod

    when going to pick songs. i can go to the songlist and pick the songs but when going under artists menu they are not there. does anyone know what the problem may be. thanks

    This isn't foolproof but 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 is marked as part of a compilation or 2) it is missing an album name.
    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. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.
    Also 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 but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous 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

  • Songs missing under artist

    hey, i have a 30 GB video ipod and i just noticed that for some, if i go to "artist", and view songs, songs are missing. yet if i go to "songs" they are there. they dont come up under the artist. can anyone help?

    so, if there is no album, it will not be displayed under the artist?
    Maybe.
    Seems to be a bug in the most recent versions.
    If you have songs from one album and songs with no album, the songs with no albums will not show up under Artist.
    If you have songs from more than one album and songs with no albums, all songs will show up under Artist -> {Artist name} -> All.
