Music Artists' names appear as lowercase on my phone, but uppercase in iTunes?
Hi,
So I have quite a few artists whose albums I've decided to put on my iPhone 5S and for some reason their names are showing up as all lowercase. At first I thought the ID3 tags weren't correct, but after using two ID3 tag editors (alongside the iTunes "get info" screen), I found that the tags weren't the issue. I also thought it might've been the actual phone itself; perhaps the software was corrupt, but I actually had to get my phone replaced today because the screen was lifting and after syncing to my library at home and looking at my Music app and seeing the artist field still reading as all lowercase, I figured it wasn't my phone. So what could it be? It's really strange seeing some artists cased correctly like "Grace Jones" and "Sam Smith", while also seeing others cased incorrectly like "prince" and "fka twigs".
Please help me figure out what is wrong with these artist fields. I have tried the following to no avail: restarting my computer, updating iTunes, deleting iTunes plist files, reinstalling iTunes, deleting and reading songs into iTunes, editing ID3 tags, changing the artists' name to something else and then back to the correct name, restarting my iPhone, and hard resetting my iPhone.
To clarify, the artists' names all read in correct case on iTunes, and only read in all lowercase on my iPhone.
Thanks in advance!

Ok sorted it looks like the folder where the music is stored had changed to itunes media when all my music is in itunes music. I have reset the default folder back to itunes music and that seem to have solved the issue. Thanks for those that helped.

Alphabetical sorting of Music Artists [Name of Artist] All Songs?
When I go to Music>Artists>[Name of Artist]>All Songs, it sorts the songs by album, is there a way to have this sorted alphabetically instead, without regard to album? Basically I want a way to view an alphabetical list of songs by a certain artist without making a million playlists. This would only apply to Music>Artists>[Artist]>All Songs, I want everything else to stay as is. This is for a current gen Ipod Classic. Also, would doing this (if it's even possible) mess up the sorting of artists who I only have one album for (I would want these to stay sorted by track number)?
Regarding the playlists, just click on the NAME column within each playlist to sort the list by name. Make sure the shuffle icon is not selected before you do this. Your playlists will be in Track Name order now. (You must do this for EACH playlist)
I believe when choosing an individual artist, then choosing all albums by that artist, the tracks will be sorted by album name then track number per album, so the ALBUMS will be played in alphabetical order, but the songs will play in the track order of each album. There is no way to chage this, as far as I know.
There may be a workaround for this by removing all the track numbers from all of your files. However, this will mess up your album order if you ever wish to listen to individual albums.
To each his own, I know, but hearing all songs in alphabetical order drives me insane. -
install canon printer on macbook air? I've got as far as add printer - the printer name appears as the software is installed but when I go to choose a driver, mine isn't listed - where is it? what do I do? Tearing hair out...
Thanks for telling us the printer model. You are right - it isn't in the software available for auto-download from Apple servers.
Are you using the version 3.66 CAPT driver released in Jun 2014?
Get it from:

It is a disk image (.dmg) file. You must double-click to "mount" the disk image, then install using the installer inside that.
Please let us know if that helps. There are more thing to try. -
When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'. This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library? It doesn't sync either.
The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

Emails appear briefly on our iPad/Phone but then disappear
Emails appear briefly on our iPad/Phone but then disappear.
Correction to the above. The email only disappears if sent to the mobile me or mobile mac address. An email sent FROM either of these Apple addresses, to a different address works fine. Sorry!

i have music on my phone but not in itunes and i cant get it off my phone .I dont know how it got there , but i suspect it came from icloud.
if it doesnt match that means your iPhone is not provisioned for the carrier you are trying to use. Your iPhone would need to be unlocked in order to use on other carriers. You will need to contact your carrier to see if this iPhone is unlocked py providing them the IMEI. If the iPhone is not unlocked you will need to contact the carrier that the iPhone is locked to to see if they will unlock the device to use on another carrier.

Artists' name appears twice on alphabetical list?
Hello I recently ran into a problem with the music app on my phone. I was syncing some songs from iTunes to my phone until I realized one of the artist's name that was already on my phone started appearing twice on the artist alphabetical list. The artist's name starts with the letter 'L' and it shows up on the right spot on the list, but there's also a duplicate on the bottom of the "W" section. Clearly it shouldn't be there since the name starts with an 'L'. I tried deleting the duplicate but when I do, the right one disappears as well. Please help me. I don't know what to do! My iOS and iTunes are updated and there hasn't been this kind of problem before. It's really bothering me. I'm sorry if you don't understand what I'm trying to say. I wish I can show you with pictures but I'm not sure how to upload pictures to here...
When you say you "installed" Find My iPhone, are you referring to the app of the same name or do you mean you turned on the Find My iPhone service (Settings>icloud)? If the former, then that doesn't turn on the service and you won't be able to track it.

TS2972 Only 9 Artist Names appear on the list
When I connect to my Home Sharing Library from my PC (running iTunes version 11.0.1.12 on Widows xp prof. service pack 3) with my iPhone 4s (iso version 6.0.1) it will only list 9 artist names and 85 album names yet there are about 5,000 songs and over 1,200 albums. I can view all the songs and see the artist name and album under each song so I know they are all tagged. Befor I upgraded to itunes version 11.0.1.12 I don't think I had this problem, it was listing so many artists and albums I assumed it was listing them all.
I have tried moving the library but this hasnt changed anything. I have also rebooted both devices without any success.
My apple TV lists all the artists and albums so I guess the problem must be with the iphone?
Can anyone help please?
ChrisHi,
I am not entirely sure I completely followed all of that.
You can set two computers to have the same Screen Name and allow them to Log in to the AIM servers at the same time.
The Bonjour Buddy List takes the name from the Address Book so you can not login in to both computers as Gregory Lazarchik as the Mac User on Both (If that is how your Name is in the Address Book).
Going back to the AIM (Apple valid as well) Name. Once both computers are logged in with the Same Screen Name you can not appear in each others Buddy List (iChat does not allow you to Add yourself to the Buddy List)
This used to be possible in iChat 2 and you could text chat to "yourself"
AS I said before the other Issues are about the settings in iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security about Allow and Block lists (At BOTH ends) that make people appear Off-line over AIM - Well that and Spelling of the Screen Name or adding them as @mac.com when they should be @me.com or an AIM name
Using my name for example
ralphjounsr
[email protected] and
[email protected] are three different Buddies
As only one of those is correct you would see the others as Off-Line because the AIM Servers don't tell you if the name is a valid (in use) name.
I am glad that you are sorted on this.

Artists name appears more then once
I just uploaded a bunch of Smashing Pumpkins songs and then later on when I went to listen to my iPod i'm scrolling through the Artists and it's in there 4 times
Smashing Pumpkins
Smashing Pumpkins
Smashing Pumpkins
Smashing Pumpkins
each one has the same exact songs in it why is it in there 4 times and how do I fix it - ThanksMy first thought is to click to edit the title of them. It's hard to illustrate on here but sometimes there is an extra space at the end of the artist name or before it. That will cause it to make more than one show up since the ipod reads it as two different things. Just go through and make sure there are no extra spaces or anything and that the names are EXACTLY the same to have only one show up.
The one thing that makes me think that isn't the problem is because you said ALL the same songs are in them. Usually the one with the wrong title will show up with that single song in it. Hmm..Look and see anyway, it wouldn't hurt. -
TS4148 Why cant my stored names appear on screen when they call but rather only numbers
why cant my stored names appear on screen when they call
no sim icon seen on my phoneFor names to appear on the screen of the phone when calls are received, the carrier has to support caller ID, and the caller ID information has to match what is saved in the contact exactly. If this is not working, you will not see the name.
Not sure what you are asking regarding SIM icon. -
Artist on ipod touch showing up as unknown but not on itunes
I have an ipod touch 4G which is updated with iOS 5.0.1. I am trying to organize some of my music by artist names and album titles.But for some reason after i went into itunes and put in the names of some artists for their songs,the artists won't show up with their songs on my ipod.For example,there is a song on my ipod called So Forgetful by Lloyd Banks. But on my ipod the only thing that shows up is the song title.under where the album name and artist name are,it reads unknown.So I went into itunes to correct this.I edited the album to Hunger For More 2 and the artist to Lloyd Banks.But when I finished that, I went back into the ipod and the album title and artist still read unknown.this has happened for a couple of my songs.Also I haven't used itunes for some of these songs.
I have the same problem with everything updated. This frustrates me how this can not be resolved. iTunes has so many problems with song syncing. You would think it would be resolved with the great minds at Apple but it has not. Maybe iTunes needs to be remade from the ground up again.

I recently downloaded songs off of itunes on my computer. usually i don't do this because i think its a pain in the *** to connect my iphone to the computer but since i had recently updated it with icloud and the new ios software i figured i could do it just this once. well anyways i downloaded some songs on the PC i have and everything was going well up until i was about to connect the iphone to sync the songs. for some reason i remembered about icloud and i looked up the songs on my phone and sure enough there they were i clicked on them to see if they would play but they wouldn't so i just connected the phone to the computer after everything had synced i found that there was now two copies of the each song i had just bought. at first none of the songs would play but then i connected my phone to wifi and i think this is when the icloud came to into work because now one song will play and the other wont. it annoys me because its not showing whether i double bought the songs or if its some kind of stupid glitch. i dont think i double bought them though because theres no double copies showing up on itunes. i just want to know how to fix this because its annoying to have two copies of the song when one doesnt even play. could anyone please help?
Apple does not respond to these forums but users do. You can sync both devices to the same computer using the same itunes account. After initial setup you can pick and choose what apps you want on your devices. I have an iphone, ipod touch and ipad that I sync to the same computer and account. I have different apps, music, photos, etc on each. The key is one computer, one itunes account and you will be fine.

I've had my iTunes account for about a year now, and I just got the iPhone 5s. I logged into my iTunes account on my phone just fine, and all the music I've bought on iTunes has transferred to my phone, but the cds I burned haven't. The sync button is gray so I can't click on it. The songs from the cds on iTunes are checked and should sync but haven't. Please help!

Since adding microsoft exchange I sunced my phone and lost all of my old contact, notes. etc. Also, when I do get a text message it appears as a number instead of a name. What did I do wrong and can I get my old info restored. When I tried restoring it only gave me the same thing.
That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation. A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number. I suggest you turn iMessage off. In settings/phone turn on dial assist. Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage. Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.
