Music in library but not ipod

Greetings,
It seems that my library has songs but they do not show up as albums or artists in my Ipod but they will show up as songs in the Ipod. Is this normal?

It's likely that the songs/albums in question are marked as Compilations. Highlight each track, go to Get Info, then uncheck the "Part of a compilation" field on the Info tab. If you have complete albums, you can highlight all of the tracks, right click and go to Get Info, go to the Options tab, and set the Part of a compilation field to No.
The song and album info is downloaded from a central database (Gracenote CDDB); sometimes their information is incorrect.

  • Want music on iPhone but not iPod.

    I have more music in my iTunes library than I have room for.  As a result, I had to uncheck some stuff.  I'd like to put that stuff on my iPhone but not the iPod. Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks for any help.

    One way to do this is to use Smart Playlists. These playlists can be built using pretty much any criteria you want, but here's an example:
    I use this Smart Playlist to keep the music on my iPhone rotating and fresh. When I plug in the iPhone to power every night is syncs with iTunes, updates the play counts then syncs the new music to the playlist.
    So when you sync your iPhone sync just your Smart Playlist, not your entire library.

  • Music in library, but not showing up under "music"

    For some reason, if I click on "Music" I see the screen that you get with a fresh iTunes library, but my music is all still there. How do I fix this screen so I can navigate the music in my library?

    Ummm. are you talking about the view settings? They are the four buttons to the right of the apple window that scrolls the titles..

    2nd > I purchased 21 new tunes yesterday on the new computer> worked great> but when I made a disc to transfer the playlist. I get the music but no album info just 1,2,3,etc. So I have signup both computers to share thinking that would work. But no to that also.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to new computer.

  • If my  ipod nano already has music on it but not my account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my account

    if my ipod nano already has music on it but not on my new account will all my stuff be lost when i sync it to my new accont and would i still be able to add stuff from the old account to my ipod

    All your iTunes Store purchases are linked to the account.  I do not think you can use two accounts with an iPod*, so you will have to choose one account or the other, and use only the things purchased under that account.
    *I've never actually tried, but that's my understanding.  You'd get a better answer by posting in the correct forum.  Try the iPod forums rather than the Using Apple Support Communities forum.

  • When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library - but two are missing from the folder.

    When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library, and all synced to the iPad - but the music from two of them are missing from the music folder. Questions are (a) where might they have gone? and (b) is there a way of "reverse loading" them back to my hard drive from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

    Hi dones49,
    It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
    To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
    Locate and organize your iTunes files
    If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How do I save items in library but not copy to ipod?

    How do I save items in library but not copy to ipod?

    If the item is in your iTunes library then it is already saved.
    With the iPod plugged in then select the items that you want to sync to the iPod. You can sync your entire library to the iPod - space permitting - or just selected content.

  • Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. Please help.

    Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I own ipad mini. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. I have already tried removing & reinstalling it. I also have tried with various formats like MPEG, MOV, MP4. Please help.

    I already have what you ( ClayandLonnie ) have suggested with the preferences>Shareing Preferences set to share all.
    I have tried turing it off, and then back on.
    I have tried just sharing specific items and this still did not work.
    I am going to try stepping back down to 11.04.4 as previously suggested by TheDarkCanuck when I get home tomorrow. (maybe saturday).  I am just leary about having to recreate all my libraries and how long that might take.  I have over 1.5 TB of Music and Video, that is why I would like to get it working in the current version.
    Just because I don't have a Mac, it seems that this is not being taken as a real problem for the windows 7 users (maybe it is specific to 64bit).  I may try the 32bit version to see if that fixes it first.  Unless someone else has, and want to chime in.

  • I want to add a CD to my IPod Classic, the CD has been loaded into my library but my iPod is not showing on i-tunes and I can't get the CD onto my iPod.

    I want to add a CD to my IPod Classic, the CD has been loaded into my library but my iPod is not showing on i-tunes and I can't get the CD onto my iPod.

    Well if your iPod is not appearing under Devices in iTunes when you have it plugged into a high powered USB 2.0 port, then that would explain why this newly loaded CD has not synced to it yet. 
    Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • HT1473 I can get my CDs into the library but my IPOD Touch will not add it.

    I can get my CDs into the library but my IPOD Touch will not add it.

    You need to convert the forma of DVDs to one compatible with the iPod. If the DVDs are commercia ones with DRM it is not legal to convert them.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and getting a iPod touch for my child, my question is whether to create separate account or have a shared account? I want to share some music and apps but not all and I also want her to be able to iMessage and face time with her owniPod

    I have an iPhone 4 and getting a iPod touch for my child, my question is whether to create separate account or have a shared account? I want to share some music and apps but not all and I also want her to be able to iMessage and face time with her own iPod and own account .   What's the best way to go?

    You can use one Apple ID for purchasing (App Store & iTunes Store) and shared with your child whereas your child uses a different Apple ID for Game Center, e-mail, FaceTime, iMessage. Even on iCloud there you'll get an extra 5GB free. 

  • Certain music videos will not play in iTunes.  The music plays fine but not the video.  No picture.

    Certain music videos will not play in iTunes.  The music plays fine but not the video.  No picture.  Same with the iPod.  Other videos in the library play fine. Help.

    Regular playlists vs smart playlist does not make a difference. What I noticed is that some videos create this behavior and some not. I created 2 videos and 2 music playlists, one with 2 songs and 2 videos (that I encoded myself with Handbrake). Another list with 2 videos and 2 songs, videos encoded with Handbrake, but that I noticed they triggered the behavior. The first playlist played fine, with no problems. The second one, created the problem. When I look at the video, it is the same type of video (bit rate, audio channels, etc...) I don't see why it would do that.
    Later I will test: playing those videos in question and then selecting songs to see if they play.

    Are the apps checked to be synced to the iPod and did you click on the sync button in Tunes?
    Were the apps purchased fro the same accoubnt signed into in the iPod?
    Are the apps compatible witht he iPOd model and iOS version?
    Do you have restrictions set that prohibit instaling apps?

  • Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

    Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

    i had the same issue as everyone here after upgrading to itunes 10.x.  vista could see xp home share.  ipod touch could see xp home share.
    neither could see vista home share.
    after several hours of authorizing de-authorizing, rebooting router etc, i knew it had to be a firewall thingy with vista as xp was working fine
    i went to this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2553 and followed the instructions.  itunes was already in my vista exception list.  on a hunch i deleted the itunes exception and followed the steps to add it again and boom it worked!! i could now see my vista machine from my ipod touch immediately.
    something must have screwed up the firewall exception on the upgrade to itunes 10.x
    it worked for me, i hope this helps others
