Music playlist shows wrong cover and too many songs

On my iPhone 4s, I just did the upgrade to iOS 7 (I did a fresh install to be sure) and I am using iTunes 11.1
So now my playlist in the Music app is messed up.
In iTunes, I have both: just normal playlists and playlist-folders (which themselves have playlists)
e.g. A Folder is called "The Alan Parsons Project" and underneath there are the playlists ("I Robot", "On Air", ...)
The problem is with this playlist folders:
On the iPhone, the Music app shows me the right folder name, but it shows me a wrong cover. The same wrong cover for each playlist-folder!
The playlists themselves appear with the right cover
Any other music app (Track 8, CarTunes), that ist able to show the number of songs, shows me the folder names, each containing all my songs!
Normal playlists are shown correctly.
Any suggestions?

Thank you! This was driving me crazy. I had this issue when I initially installed iOS 7. At that time I removed all my music and resynced, and then the correct art displayed. I recently had to restore my iPhone and resync, and the bug of wrong art for playlist folders came back. (Strangely, it consistently displayed the same wrong art and displayed the same wrong art as when it happened before.) I kept removing and resyncing my playlists and deleting the iTunes album art cache to no avail. The fix of renaming the folders worked!

HT201263 Ipad mini is locked as someone has put the wrong code in too many times will not restore

Hi
I have a ipad mini (my step daughter does) she was given it by her father, someone has tried to put the wrong code in too many times and now is disabled is there any way I can unlock it or take of to apple?

Hey there Bungle,
It sounds like your iPad is disabled due too a forgotten passcode. This article should help you get it back on track:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
The instructions are different depending on whether or not you have synced your iPad to your computer so be sure to follow the applicable instructions.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Ipod disabled wrong passcode entered too many times. help.

Hello brams25,
You'll need to connect your iPod Touch to your computer and iTunes in Recovery Mode and restore it. See this article for instructions on how to place your iPod into recovery mode.

Have over 86GB of music now showing as "other" and although it is still on my iPod it is not playable. Most is from imported CDs. I do have a backup file on an external hard drive. How can I fix this?

To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

HT1349 I have a nano I never registered it, Its saying it can't sync my music because I have too many songs..

I have a Nano, I haven't ever registered it. It pops up an error message saying I have too many songs and it can't be synced. I need help.

Take a look at this link-> Apple - Support - iPod nano
specifically, the "Is there enough room on the iPod?" (about ⅓ of the way down this page)
in the Apple - Support - iPod nano - Syncing section.
If you still have the problem, the retailer who sold you the iPod nano can help you.

Problems syncing because of too many songs

I have an iPod nano second generation. (2 GB) I recently put too many songs on my computer and then tried to sync them to my iPod. A notice came up telling me that the computer would select a chunk of the songs for me and put them on my iPod. I deleted enough of the songs on my computer to fit on my ipod, however, itunes won't put them all on my ipod. itunes kept selecting a smaller number of songs to sync. I tried deleting the playlist itunes kept selecting for my ipod, but now it won't let me sync ANY songs.Please help!!

You can keep as many songs in iTunes as you want.
I have ~30GB music and have a 4GB iPod.
now it won't let me sync ANY songs
Because iTunes is looking for the playlist you deleted.
Here's how to do it;
Create a new playlist.
Make it 1.8GB in size.
Select the iPod in iTunes.
Click the Music tab.
Tick Sync music.
Tick Sync selected playlists and select this new playlist you created.
To change the music on the iPod, simply add/remove songs from this playlist and then plug in the iPod.
Make sure to keep this playlist under 1.8GB.
Or you can create a new Smart laylist and limit it to 1.8GB at random.
To change the music, simply select the playlist, select all the songs in it and press Delete. It will fill up with new music.

Too many songs - techniques?

hey all;
so I actually have an iPhone, but this thread is more iPod/music related.
the bottom line is, I have way too many songs on iTunes for my 32GB iPhone. I've done the following:
-downsample songs that have high bitrates to 19kbps (the lowest i'm wil;ing to accept, down from 256)
-uncheck artists who have a lot of music but I don't listen to (that's you, death metal days...)
-get rid of 45 minute songs and such that I don't listen to
-delete most of the comedy stuff
-get rid of apps that take up a lot of space
-take off most of the photos and all of the videos
i've managed to save a decent amount of space, but not much. I avoided a crises two months ago, but its impending again.
the problem is, I'm not ready to part with much else and I'm quickly running out of room. Of the over 5400 songs in iTunes, about 5000 made it onto my iPhone.
I'm really not willing to random shuffle the songs on my iPhone, and I do have nested folders with my most recent playlists etc.
So my question really is, does anyone out there have any other techniques they use for trimming down what gets synced to their devices? any ideas are appreciated...
thanks,
ekozie

This would be more appropriate in the iphone forum. Very few will see it here.
We use playlists for our iphones. This allows us to sync whatever we feel like at the time, and can easily change our selections.

I tried too download too many songs unto my ipod

please help me.
I'm such a loser.
ha.
OK. so, I had about 960 songs on my ipod and I was updating it today and this a message came up saying that I had tried to download too many songs. The ipod could either choose the songs I wanted on my ipod for me or I could choose. I got confused, and said the ipod should choose for me. On itunes along with all my regualr songs there is now a playlist with about 900 songs of the ones they picked. When I updated my ipod the only thing that was on it was said playlist. So I of course freak out, go into itunes and delete that list. Once the list is delated I plug my ipod back into the computer and come back only to find that all the songs on my ipod are gone. everything. However, even though the playlist is gone the 900 something orginal songs still remain on itunes itself. After freaking out again, I try to plug my ipod back in to see if now it will put the 968 songs back unto the ipod, it doesn't. I delete some songs off my itunes that I can live without.. still nothing. I only have 3.73 GBs on my mini ipod so the space can't be taken up can it?
can I get my songs back on my ipod??

Use the instructions in this article to set the iPod to sync manually, and then drag the songs you want on the iPod to the iPod in the iTunes source list. The message you got means that your iTunes library is too big for all of it to fit on the iPod.

HT4914 I want to sign up for itunes match but have too many songs.

I want to subscribe to itunes match but I have too many songs. Is there a way to select songs to store w/match like I can when syncing devices? I just get an error message that I can't subscribe because I have too many songs. I want to be able to back up some of my library w/match. Do I have to delete songs just so I can subscribe?

I found the same thing wtih my iPad. "Not available in USA". I bought the iPad here, and I am definitely in the US, and my settings confirm that I am registered in the US. So something else is going on. I went to an Apple store; the technician there showed me how to sign on to iTunes on my home computer and register for itunes match on the home computer -- but when I got home I couldn't get it to work.

My music app shows it's still playing a song but it's playing next song without finishing the last song.

Since I had my iPhone 5S (I now have a 6 plus), I've had a problem with my iPhone Music app showing that it's playing certain songs but towards the end, it jumps to the next track, but without finishing the one it was playing. The music bar doesn't change - it shows as if it was still playing the former song. It happens randomly with certain songs and it appears all my playlists have been affected by this. I've restored the phone and restored both an iCloud backup (to rule out software issues that iTunes is copying over into the phone) and an iTunes restore from backup. I've also deleted entire albums and redownloaded them right onto the phone, hitting the exact same snag. I've also restored the phone and started it as a new install and hit the exact same snag. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK. Since no one replied I restored my Nano 2. It still does this. Can anyone say theirs doesn't? Stop the music halfway or anyplace inside a track. Let the iPod rest for a few hours. Hit Play again. You see the song you were on and the place where you were. It is in Pause mode. Hit Play again to continue the song. At this point mine skips to the beginning of the next track. If I left click the wheel, it skips over the previous to the one before that.
This does not happen with my 80G Video iPod. It holds it's place and the music continues.
This is an 8G black Nano.

Music Playlist shows video playlists - iPod BUG. IS IT JUST ME?

I have the 160GB ipod classic. I have several video playlists set up (to manage music videos, other movies, etc.). When I select "music" from the main menu, then select "playlists" to pull up my music playlists as set up on iTunes, I see all of my video playlists listed and they show "0 SONGS" under the playlist name, obviously because they are not supposed to have songs and only have videos. When I click on the video playlist from this menu, the ipod hangs on a white screen (forever!) until I press menu to return the music playlist menu... Is it just me or is this one of the many continued bugs that the iPod classic still has even after the 1.0.2 software update?
APPLE - PLEASE FIX THIS BUG WITH THE OTHERS AND RELEASE 1.0.3 SOFTWARE ASAP!!!

I did realize that I also have a "music videos" (smart) playlist that shows all music videos. Since these have songs in them, they are listed also...

White screen after i entered the wrong ID password too many times

Hi,
I was attempting to sync my blackberry information to my laptop when i was asked for the ID password, I tried a few options but could not remember it at all. When It reached the last attempt the screen said if I entered the wrong pin it would erase all my information. I stopped went to the website and changed my passwords to make sure, then I went back and entered the new password. Immediately the screen turned white and began to erase everything. I pulled the battery immediately and having been frantically searching the Internet for a way to undo this. Please Please Please help.
I have so much on my phone I really need. Especially videos of my baby :-(
Can anyone help me.
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Failure of the BBID credentials will never wipe a BB. What actually happened was you incorrectly entered your user-created device-lock password too many times, and it then proceeded with wiping the device, as per the requirements of the security level accepted when enabling that feature. There is no way to stop it.
Sorry.

Why aren't all selected music/playlists showing up on my iPhone 5S?

I just purchased my iPhone 5S (upgraded from the 4S) last night. Software has been updated to the newest iOS 7 version and latest version of iTunes. All of my music won't fit on my phone, so I only have certain playlists selected. The playlists show up, but some of the music isn't there...it is show in a lighter grey writing with a cloud next to it. I have tried rebooting my laptop, syncing again, etc. I am at a loss.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Kim

Hi heal1995,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are seeing a discrepancy between the number of songs iTunes shows are on your iPhone and the number of songs you actually see on your iPhone. In this situation, I would recommend using the attached article to make sure the music you want on your iPhone has been properly synced to your iPhone.
Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Best regards,
Joe
