Music showing under albums and not under artists

I put a few cd's on my ipod and put them in a specific playlist, later I deleted the playlist. I have noticed that the cd's don't show up under artists but they are showing up under albums. Is there a way I can get them under artists again?

Thank you so much for replying. This didn't work, I clicked on get info and all the correct info was there. Kinda weird huh? Thanks Again

IPhone 5C: Duplicate Albums and not capitalizing Artists?

Hello! I got my iPhone 5C for my upgrade on October 1st. My carrier is Sprint.
I've been trying to put my music back onto my phone that was previously on my iPod Touch, but there's a slight problem. I have an album duplication problem, as well as a capitalization problem.
As for the duplication, only one album is duplicated (I somehow fixed the other one), and it is only duplicated on my iPhone, not on iTunes. I'm positive the Artist and Album Artist are the same, as I'm a perfectionist and I want everything to be together, which is why this is bothering me so much. I've restored my iPhone 3 times and yet it's still duplicated, and I've taken the music on and off but with iOS 7 it's never really off, it just sits there and has the "Download from iCloud" button.
Whenever I play the songs in one of the duplicated albums, it says it's playing in the other album too. But I can also go through the songs of that album and play the first song in that album, go through the entire album, and then it'll play it again as if the album is on loop, but it's really just thinking there's two of the same album.
My capitalization problem is that for the band Blood On The Dance Floor, it thinks it's Blood On the Dance Floor. That really bothers me because that's not how it's supposed to be stylized but it won't change, even though on iTunes I have it written as Blood On The Dance Floor. Is there any way to fix this? Again, I have taken the music on and off and made sure that they're all written the way I want them to.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

In case anyone was wondering - I finally sorted this issue.
In iTunes, some of the files within the album had data input in some of the 'sort by' fields of the 'sorting' tab on their info - this led to the duplicate albums appearing in our phones - deleted the sorting data and voila, problem solved

How do I get the itunes stored files on my computer to store by album name not by artist?

How can I get itunes to store my computer music files by album name not by artist? It's a pain retreving a stored album from my external drive.

Are you sure to have the full length file in the library? If you start playing it, will it show the full runtime on the controls?

Album in iPhone 6 showing up under album, but not in artist?

I copied a CD onto my Mac and synced my Mac to my iPhone 6. On my Mac, the album shows under artist AND album but on my iPhone the album only shows up under Albums and under Various Artists on my iPhone. I'm confused.. HELP? Please

Hello, rebelrebel12.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you have an album on your iPhone that does not mirror the same album data as iTunes on your computer. I would try and adjust the album data so that it reflects the correct information. The article below should help you correct this information.
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
Cheers,
Jason H.

I bought an album and not all the songs came up listed under the artist name. They came up as separate songs and not as part of an album. How do I fix this?

Hello pjmelli921,
You have to locate the album in itunes. Highlight each track, hold the ctrl button and left click each one.
Do a right-click on the highlighted blue, select get info, say yes to editing multiple tracks.
Hit the options tab, change "part of a compliation" to yes, select ok on the bottom right.
Resync ipod. This should fix it on your ipod after the resync.
Hope this helps.

All songs not showing under artists name - even though spelling is the same

I have 8 songs by a particular artist. Only one shows under "artist". I have checked 5 times - spelling-everything is the same for the artist. All of the songs can be found under "songs". I have checked spellings over & over. What could be my problem?

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) the song has no album name associated with it.
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. If you are using iTunes 8 and view the multiple items info box the compilations setting is in the "Options" tab. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.
Also if the 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 (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks 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

Solution for some artists not showing under "Artists"

If you go to settings and turn compilations "off" all artists will show under artists listing. Assuming that title, artists, and album info is filled in.

You have to check off the box saying "part of compilation at the bottom of the get info tab on the song.

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

When I add a song to my iphone, why does the song JUST go to the song section and not the artist?

It never did this before but I added a song onto my iPhone and it's been on there for awhile, but I guess recently when I plugged in my iphone to my laptop and synced, the song was removed. When I readded the song, it went to the "Songs" portion and not the Artist as well. I mean the song is on my iPhone and that's good, but it's a hassle when I want to listen to it and I have to scroll through my library just to find it. Help?

You have to have Automatic Download enabled.
On the iPhone go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Enable Automatic Downloads for Music, Apps, and iBooks, also you can make the choice if it should download over cellular data.
iTunes: Edit> Prefrences > Store > Enable Automatic Downloads.
This is Apple's article on it.

TS3297 Why can I only buy full albums and not individual songs?

Why can I only buy full albums and not individual songs?

If it's iTunes purchased music then you might be able to re-download it on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app - it will download into the Music app. If you want your other music from your computer's iTunes (e,g. music copied from CDs and playlists) then you will need to sync it from your computer's iTunes to your iPad's Music app.

How do you move a single album, and not the whole library, in iPhoto to an external hard drive?

How do you move a single album, and not the whole library, in iPhoto to an external hard drive?

File -> Export to a folder and copy it over.
That will give you a folder with the images. There is no way to move an album outside of iPhoto. You would need to have a library containing it.

HT1849 How do I transfer a single song that I purchased into my complete my album so I can have the complete album and not an incomplete album missing the single.

How do I transfer a single that I bought previously before purchasing the complete my album so that I have the complete album and not missing the single?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Not sure what you mean by transfer. I suspect you are trying to get it listed in iTunes as part of the album, in which case you can change the details in 'Get Info'.

With last update to aperture photos only show in photos and not in folders. Any idea?

With latest update my photos are only showing in photos and not individual projects. Though when I mouse over project it gives me number of photos? Any ideas?

Do you have a filter enabled? Anything other than Showing All in the search field?
