Music app: songs stuck in album issue

hey guys,
I've just got an IP 4 with IOS 5 from my sister and there is a annoying problem with my Music app.
As I sync the music from Itunes, most of songs run to "album" but not the "all songs". In other words,175 songs were synced into my IP - 165 of them only appear in the "album" (which creates 59 albums) and what I have in my "all songs" is 10 songs!
FYI, I've authorised the computer. My Icould and Itunes accounts are different (but I dont use the Itunes match). This problem never appears with my previous IP 3 (well, back then I have Ipod and I'm starting to miss it right now)
Can anyone help me with this, PLEASE?  I'm a music lover and I cant survive the week without portable songs...
Many many thanks.

  • Music app won't sort albums by artist

    On my iPad 3rd Gen, after the 8.0 update, the "Group By Album Artist" check box in the Settings no longer works.  It used to group the albums in the Music app by the associated Artist, but now it just alphabetizes them regardless of the artist.
    I've tried:
    1) Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    2) Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Content and Settings
    3) Manually deleting all music content, resetting iPad, reimporting music to iPad
    4) Each of the above, but allowing a full day between powering down and then back up.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, because I'd really rather not switch to a nonstandard app for this.

    I am having the same issue as well with Linkin Park, M83, and Panic! At THe Disco. Itunes match on my Macbook shows all the albums and the artist pictures (when browsing through the artist tab). I just had my phone replaced a few days back and even after a fresh intsall of IOS 7.1.1 on this replacment model it still has the issue. I even set the device as a new device without iCloud back up and still iTunes match wont show the artist photos.

  • I downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    hi philly, thanks for getting back to me, especially on such a busy day.
    I don't think that's quite the issue though. I bought an album and it appears in 'my purchases' within the itunes app. Yet, in order to listen to the music, i must use the 'music' app and in this application, there are only three tracks displayed at any one time from my downloaded album.
    I can 'download all' from the 'my purchases' section but that still doesn't help, it just keeps the last three tracks downloaded in the music app.
    I have the 'icloud' enabled and wondered if it had anything to do with that.
    i have successfully downloaded another full album totally into the music app, but this first album is causing me problems.

  • How do i get rid of the U2 album that itunes gave me? how do i get it off my iphone music app?

    when i go to my music app, there is a album (U2) that iTunes gave everyone and i dont know how to delete it off my music app on my iphone. it gives me a option to download it from iCloud and when i do it then gives me a option to delete the songs but when i delete a song it just goes back to the iCloud option and never deletes it. help meeee

    The one band I legitimately refuse to listen to and I can't get it off of my phone. Doing some research, it looks like you can delete it but only if you have subscribed to iTunes Match.
    Honestly, you could *ask* if people *want* to download the album instead of assuming everyone loves U2. Newsflash: No. They don't.

  • Full Albums not Showing up in Music App

    I've been having problems with my album tab in the music app. In some albums not all of the songs appear in the album and say "Show Complete Album" when I tap that the songs that are not on the album appear in the album but have the "download" button on the side, but it's not clickable.
    When I go into the songs tab the songs that are missing in the albums tab are there. I'm really not sure how to fix this.
    Maybe it's an iTunes problem.I'm not really sure.

    This could be related to the tags the album(s) are assocated with. Are they albums you purchased from the Apple Store, transferred from CD, or something else. If it's "something else," it could be that your iTunes library doesn't have the tags needed to manage the sound.
    In any case, post with your comments. Interesting problem.

  • In music apps, i open to music but it will not move back to choice playlisrt artist etc

    when i open music app i cannot chang album playing. In otherwords, there is no way to show (playlist artist songs albums) it seems to be stuck on the one album. thanks for any help in advance!

    Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes has no affect on the media on the computer or the account it is linked to.
    If the media was purchased under another iTunes account, then it is permanently tied to that account.

  • Not All iTunes Music Showing up in iOS7 Music App

    Good Morning!
    I am new to this forum and hope someone can help me resolve a frustrating problem.  I am a PC person (and was an Andriod person) who now uses a PC for my iTunes library but has two Apple TVs, a iPad mini and an iPhone 5S... I'm converting!
    My problem is with iTunes and the "Music" app in iOS7.  I used to use Google Music when I had a Droid and all of my music did (and still does) automatically copy to Google when I add something to iTunes. I don't have to do a thing, all set up.
    However, after buying my iPad mini and iPhone 5S I discovred the Music app does NOT have all of my iTunes library in it.  I use iCloud, I use iTunes Match (maybe my problem).  However, no matter what I do only about 1/3 of my iTunes music libary is available in the music app. I have thousands of songs. Perhaps a quarter were purchased on iTunes and the rest are CDs I ripped over time or purchased of MP3 files form Amazon, etc. 
    Of my perhaps 4,000 songs, I'm lucky if the Music app has 1,000.  If I have 4 albums by an artist, I may see two in the Music app, the other two remain only in iTunes. It doesn't seem to matter where I got the track from. Sure, I bet al the ones purchased from iTunes store are there (I don't keep a list of what was bought where) but there are also Amazon purchases, ripped files, Google Music purchases scattered in there too... it only is 1/4 of my library and frustrating.  I also have an album listed but only 1 or 2 songs are available in the Music app when the entire album is in iTunes.
    I am smacking my head against the wall unsure of why in Earth iTunes is not loading my entire library so I can use it on all my iOS devices.  The devices are setup in iTunes. 
    I am, however, able to download a third party Google Music app on my iPad and iPhone and THERE I can see and listen to my entire library but just selections. That works great.
    I WANT to use the iOS7 app to listen to all my iTunes music. I don't want to have to use a Google go around but I can't seem to solve the problem. I launch iTunes, it says it is running match and unless I bought a new track from iTunes, the rest of my library in the same place as the tracks it did sync remains ignored.
    I know my library is large. Do I need to purchase addition space somewhere? If so, I am never prompted. Why it would sync one two tracks from am album that all came from the same source also baffles me.
    Sorry this is long, I wanted to give as many details as I want.  I want all my music available under "Music"and to be able to ditch Google music but searching online gives few clues as to why only part of my library uploads to the Cloud.
    Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Heiko,
    I had the same problem and noticed that the missing albums had been PhotoCast. Apparently these albums are not available for transfer to your iPod. When I Stopped Publishing the album, the problem was solved.
    I hope this helps, Jim
    Not sure when exactly this happened but I guess with
    the installation of iTunes 6.04.
    Some of the albums I've created in in iPhoto do not
    show up in the iTunes iPod options.
    I first noticed when trying to view photos on my iPod
    that images that had been there before were no longer
    available.
    Anybody else experiencing this? Any idea on how to
    fix this?
    I've already tried to restore my iPod and delete the
    iPod Cahe folder but that didn't help.
    Thanks,
    Heiko.

  • Purchased Music not showing correctly in Music App

    HI
    Something weird i've noticed on my iPhone, I am using iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.1 (latest build).
    I purchased an album X Factor Song book (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/the-x-factor-songbook/id935644800)
    as you can see on the link there is 60 tracks, all 60 downloaded to my Phone.
    When I go to music  app, and choose either Albums or compilations, find the album it shows 60 tracks like below:
    it shows 59 songs but just 3 minutes.  When i open the album it looks like this:
    This is just track 23. If I tap it to play the track, I can successfully
    skip back and forward to the other tracks on the album.
    I've noticed this with lots of my albums
    How do I fix it?
    My settings for settings > music look like this:
    I've tried togging switches like "show all music" to on/off to see if it helps, but sadly it did not

    You may have to contact the app's developer or look through their help pages.

  • "Unable to download items" error message on iPhone Music App

    On my new iPhone only some of the songs from my itunes song list would download to the "Music" app.  All the Albume covers and titels show in the dowloads section of my itunes app but underneath the song title it says "Download error. Tap to retry"?  When I do I keep getting the error message "Unable to download items"?  Funny because about 10 of the songs from the itunes app moved over to the music app but the rest won't?  Anybody run into this?  Thanks!

    I am still working on this problem and I just noticed that when I go back into itunes on my computer and then go to "File" then "Devices" all the tabs under devices are greyed out so I am unable to sync or transfer purchases?

  • Music app crashing

    Since updating my iPad Mini to iOS 7, the music app has exhibited the annoying issue of crashing every time I try to play two specific songs. They play for a second become cutting off and dumping me at the home screen.
    The songs triggering the issues are Accept's Metal Heart and Midnight Mover, both purchased on iTunes, and with lyrics and sorting data added. I am at a loss as to the cause, but I suspect it is a bug. anyone else having this problem?

    Try and close all apps in Multitask Screen.
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
    3. The app will fly off the screen

  • In ios 6 I could choose an artist on the music app and see all his albums in a list. Now, with ios 7, it shows all the songs from every album, making it EXTREMELY hard to see all the albums. Is there a way to minimize this view and see only the albums?

    Hello!
    I need some help with the music app in ios 7...
    In ios 6, I could choose an artist from the "srtists" view and it would show me all his albums as a list. Now, in ios 7, when I choose an artist, it shows me every song underneath every album, making it impossible to see al the albums at once! Is there anyway to minimize this view so I could see only the albums' titles as a list?
    It is VERY annoying. I would very much appreciate any help on this! 
    Thank you

    Exactly!
    This is all about the experience and accessibility. I don't even mind if the new desing is beautiful or not, but if I find myself, like you, avoiding looking for my music, my experience becomes frustrating. I have about 35 albums of a single artist and I used to love going over them and choose the right thing for me, especially being on the road a lot, and now I have to think twice about even entering his name.
    I really hope Apple will take those kind of things into consideration when they issue updates for ios 7, and maybe also give us back the goole search which was embeded into the spotlight search (which is really not that big of a request).
    And for your 4s - get the new iphone, it's MUCH better

  • For some artists in my Music app on my I-phone, the songs do not appear when I search by the artist.  However, if I search the album name, all the songs show.  How do I get the songs to show under songs?

    Hi Spam_Valley,
    I understand that you are having issues with your music displaying correctly. This may be an issues with the metadata stored within that song, and iTunes interpretation of that info.
    We may need to repair this. See the following resources for information:

  • The music app on my iPhone 5 plays the same song over and over again.  It will not sequence through an album or playlist.  What can I do?

    The music app on my iPhone 5 will not sequence through albums or playlists.  It plays either the first or selected song over and over again.  What can I do?

    Turn off repeat.
    This is covered in the manual.
    iPhone User Guide (For iOS 4.2 and 4.3 Software)
    Play the song, tap the screen, tap the repeat icon until it is white= off.
