My iPod doesnt show the artist but has the songs

Hello, My iTunes says that it has downloaded an artist onto my iPod nano, but when I go into the artist menu, it doesnt show it. Please help me!
Packard Bell   Windows XP  

One possible reason is that you've inadvertently imported the cd as a 'compilation'.
To check, highlight the songs in iTunes, right click and select 'get info' and make sure you have "no" selected in the box marked 'part of a compilation'.
You will have to reconnect your iPod to iTunes again to reflect the changes you have made.

    My ipod doesn't sync my songs from my computer. My other original computer in which i had all my songs on it crashed so i redownloaded itunes on this computer and added all my songs but it won't sync.I tried re-downloading itunes. Restoring the ipod 3 times. when I connect my ipod it says its "sync-ing part 1,2, and 3" and it says "finished updates" but when i go through my ipod theres no songs. Please help me.

  • MY ipod doesnt show up under devices on the left side bar? and now the option for devices has completely disappeared?

    I can't find the option for "devices" on the left sidebar in itunes, where my ipod should show up? It has disappeared. How can I get it back?

    Hi SMM1971,
    If you click on View in the top menu, and then click on Show Sidebar, then you will see the Devices listed (when your device is connected) under the Library and Store.
    The reason it disappeared is because that little "iPod" indicator that shows on the top also has the "Eject" button right next to the iPod name, and it is really easy to click on that instead of the button itself....

    My iPod classic (2007) 80 GB FROZEN SCREEN (Now Playing window showing the song that is suppose to be playing, will not respond to buttons, Will not SYNC, iTunes does not recognize it AT ALL when I plug it in. Will not shut off, will not charge... pretty frustrated, I updated it recently (within the last 10 days....Has anyone had similar experience? If so was it fixed? Please post any help for me... thank you... I am pretty frustrated right now.

    its fixed!!  After posting my problem with the FROZEN ipod classic (2007) 80 gb a screen popped up with similar subjects that I did not find in my original search.  'Rich Fleming' in the community posted a suggestion to someone with a similar frozen issue and it WORKED when I tried it. 
    hold the 'menu' and the 'circle' buttons down at the same time, KEEP the pressed until the apple appears. and now it is working.  Hope this helps others.

  • I have a 5th Gen iPod Touch, I  downloaded an album and 2 of the songs had music videos. I didn't like it so I deleted it. But it still shows the song and the cloud sign next to it. How can I permanently removed songs/vids? On iOS 7

  • Conversation doesnt show the latest message but an old one.

    Each time i click on a conversation in Mail, it doesnt show the latest message, but on old one. Changing the settings to 'place latest message on top' (sorry don't know exactly how they have translated this, I am running Dutch version) does not fix this.
    If you change the settings to 'place latest message on top'. It does place the latest message on top, but it shows an old one. So each time i click on a conversation, i have to scroll to the top to see the latest message. This is very irritating. I already answered several old messages. People think i am getting ********...
    I am using Mail in classic view! Changing it to the new view, doesnt fix it either.

    Hey Olivia,
    If you are having an issue with your iPhone only showing the most recent message of a conversation in the Messages application, and you have already tried restarting and resetting the iPhone, the next thing to try would be to back up any data on the iPhone, erase it and set it up as a new device. See this article for directions -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Happy computing,

  • HT6114 My iMac seems to have frozen during the update- how long should I expect the update to take? The 'installing software update' bar is still showing itself working but has been stuck in the same position for over an hour.

    Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
    http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
    Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
    Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery.

  • My 40 gb iPod doesnt show any text on the screen

    My 40 gb iPod doesnt show any text on the screen. The screen will light up and there is an audible clicking noise when using the navigation wheel. Hooked up to my iTunes the iPod also no longer shows up. Ive tried reseting with no luck. Any help is appreciated.

    If a restore of the iPod in iTunes does not resolve the issue, it's likely that your iPod's screen will need to be replaced.

    Hi Goofy Goat,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting for your iPod nano that is not responding. In this situation, if resetting it did not resolve, I would suggest restoring the iPod back to its factory settings and then sync your content back onto it from iTunes. Please use the following article as a resource for restoring.

  • AppBuilder Application doesnt show the output

    Hi All,
      I am doing the sample application in AppBuilder, when i run the application it opens a new browser window but it doesnt show the output.
    this is the problem, how to resolve this?
    If any body come across this issue please help me.

    Hi Sravanya K,
    There seems to be some compatibility issue with latest Chrome update. (All the other pre requisites have nt had any releases very recently)
    Last release of other Pre requisites :
    Node JS - 5th june 2014 ( Node.js ChangeLog )
    JDK - (its to be manually updated).
    APP Builder (appbuilder-1.0.1252.zip is the last release which happened a long time back )
    Google Chrome - Can find latest release logs in Chrome Releases and chrome has an Update almost everyday
    UI5 Liraries - As per OpenUI5 - Download  16 th July 2014 is the last release of Ui5 libraries.
    More over App builder does not need any internet connectivity to atleast run the sample applications / templates of SuperList,Chart. (so the issue might be internally in the system using these pre requisites )
    So i certainly doubt the Auto Update feature of Google Chrome , causing this issue.
    Though this currently have nt worked in latest version of chrome in my system , other major browsers are still supported .
    As a work around can suggest to work with other browsers.
    I also tried with Safari , Firefox and  safari  worked satisfactorily -
    (Chrome, Safari are recommended for App Builder ) (Firefox worked partially)
    attached is the screenshot of Sample Application running in Safari

  • HT201210 My iPod constantly shows the 'connect to iTunes' sign, how to fix this?

    My iPod is showing the 'connect to iTunes' sign, even when I connect to iTunes and do everything it says to do. I have repeated this process several times and still no change. I believe it has wiped everything off of my iPod but I can't access anything on it as it is always on the same screen. Can it be fixed?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My ipod keeps showing the apple symbol then shuts off.

    my ipod keeps showing the apple symbol then shuts off.

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.
