My iPod touch (5th gen) doesn't list some albums in the artist's section. But still lists the individual songs in the music list. How can I better organize this?

I recently bought an iPod touch 5th generation, I had a few CD albums here that I wanted to put into my new iPod, just like my old one. But with my old one I put them all in and it organized them all as the same artist (which they are), so under artists I just had to click on their name, then pick the album. In the 5th gen one, it puts the songs in my iPod, but I can't find the actual album under "Artists". I put 2 albums by this artist, but it only shows one, and the other is nowhere to be found, but it's still in my iPod, just as individual songs in the songs section. I don't think this'll be the only time I'm running into this problem on the 5th gen, I had trouble organizing some other songs. How can I better organize these albums, show them all under the same artist? I tried to re-write the artist name to be exactly the same, but that doesn't do anything.

I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
- Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:                                                
iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.          
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My FaceTime on my iPod Touch 5th gen doesn't work.

    It rings and when I go to answer it, it just says 'connecting' but doesn't actually let me on to the call itself. Why might this be?
    I have tried calling my boyfriend several times and he has tried calling me (we both have 5th generation iPod touches) but when we answer them, it just says 'connecting' but doesn't let us on to the actual call.

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue. You can leave feedback for Apple at the link below.

  • I've purchased an audio book on itunes but can't find how to access it on my ipod touch 5th gen - Help!, I've purchased an audio book on itunes but can't find how to access it on my ipod touch 5th gen.  Can anyone offer guidance please?

    I've just purchased my very first audiobook from itunes as I'm driving from the midlands to Newcastle this afternoon.  I thought a book would make the journey more manageable.  But now I can't find how to pay the book back!  I can see it in my itunes library and play in on my computer, but not on my device (which I have synced since making the purchase).  Can anyone tell me where my audiobook is hiding please?  Thanks

    Can you find the audio book by using the Search feature on the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the audio book to the iPod?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    Note you have to check the boxes in Books pane for the iPod in iTunes to sync books in general and another box to sync Audio Books.

  • Game Center has stopped working on my iPod touch (5th gen) when I try to go into the Game Center, it just stays blank. It never signs in when I'm playing games, and many apps require that I'm able to sign in. How do I fix it?

    Anyone know how to fix it?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>Game Center and sign out and sign back in
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

  • "medical id" is missing from my health app on my iPod touch 5th gen running iOS 8

    Along the bottom of the health app on my iPod touch 5th gen running iOS 8 I am missing the "medical id" that should be the 4th icon on the lower right of the screen

    You can't seriously believe users would be *that* idiotic, even on a sue-happy country like the US… And while Apple could get sued, it's not like Apple Legal would lose a case like that; for someone to die in the first place *because of the iPod Touch*, first-responders (be them regular bystanders or medical professionals) would have to be stupid enough to believe they could use it to make calls and not try doing that using instead, duh, a regular phone that they would likely be carrying with them anyway, and for Apple to be in the least bit accountable, the interface would have to misdirect them and make them believe they could in the first place.
    Except it doesn't. It never did. The iOS interface, on the iPod Touch, has no references whatsoever to calling functions, be they regular or emergency-related. If you tap a phone number detected by smart filters, you can't dial it (I believe you're offered the option to save it on the Address Book, though), and on the lock screen, there is no “Emergency Call” function (nor would there be such a function on the Health ID page, either). So… I fail to see your point.
    And you can't seriously believe Apple would risk, on purpose, a lawsuit by the family of someone who, having both an iPhone *and* an iPod Touch (not very likely, I know, but please bear with me) dies because s/he is carrying only the iPod Touch and unwittingly (but understandably) expects *all* Health and the potentially *life-saving* Health ID info to sync across devices via iCloud.
    Nope, this is an oversight by Apple devs, and a massive one at that.
    P.S.: A massive legal/functional disclaimer, such as “Warning: This device cannot connect to the cellular network. For emergency calls please use an appropriate device” or something along those lines would pretty much exempt them from any legal responsibility, while still enabling a life-saving feature.

  • IPod Touch (5th Gen) and iOS 6.0.1 Update

    I'm having some problems with upgrading my iPod Touch (5th Gen) to iOS 6.0.1.
    The iPod is currently stuck in the mode where it shows the connect to iTunes symbol. When I connect to it to iTunes on my MacBook Pro, I am asked to 'Restore and Update' which I click. The update file downloads, but as soon as it completes, it disappears and never installs. I then have no choice but to start again which results in exactly the same problem. I don't seem to be able to restore the iPod without downloading the latest software.
    Does anyone have any advice?
    Thanks.

    Try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Last, try restoring on another computer.

  • How to delete all inbox emails at once: iPod Touch 5th Gen ?

    IOS 7, iPOD Touch 5th Gen
    While I can delete multiple emails at once on my iPad 2 (inbox> Edit> Check  first email> Hold MOVE while unchecking first email> Release Move > (all emails stack up) then, >Trash
    this does NOT work on the iPod Touch 5th Gen.
    When I do those steps, it "appears" to work but then, the emails go right back to the inbox.
    I've also tried the other method that incorporates using "Mark all as read" - as an extra step - (read it on Apple Support Forums) but apparently it works on iPhones, not iPod Touch 5.
    Thanks.

    - If you are up to it see:

    Otherwise you will have to set up the iPod as a new one.

  • How do I empty my Photo library on my iPod Touch 5th Gen?

    Hi!  How do I empty my Photo Library on my iPod Touch 5th Gen?  It says I have 10.7 GB of photos but I've deleted all photos and videos from all messages, Photo Stream, etc.  Accessing it via a laptop and the DCIM folder is also free.  Where do I find what's taking up that space and then removing it?

    - You have to unsync photos that were synced to the iPod. That is covered here
    Sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support
    - There are also program like TouchCopy and Phone view that can do it but those are paid programs
    - Backup the iPod and then restore from backup since synced photos are not included in the backup

  • Is there any difference between iPod Touch 5th Gen models?

    I want to buy an iPod Touch 5th Gen, and i looked for it on the internet, and i noticed that every site has a specific model (eg. APTO5G32BL or MD717ZP/A), (some sites have the same model). And i want to know if there is a difference between iPod models so that i buy the better one.
    Thanks

    first of all, i don't live in the middle east, i live in Australia.
    after googling, you seem to be right, that the photo on the right is not a valid Apple model number.
    but is it bad thing to not be a valid Apple model number, since it's cheapest i've ever seen.
    and btw, if you can't read the model numbers:
    the left: MD717ZP/A
    the right:APTO5G32BL
    THANK YOUUUU

  • Bought my daughter ipod touch 4th gen to replace her old one and want to get it ready for xmas by transferring her old content to new - how do i do it? secondly, if the old ipod is sold will the purchaser have access to account details?

    Bought my Daughter new ipod touch 4th gen to replace her old one and i want to get it ready for christmas by transferring everything (games, music etc) - how do i do this?
    Also, if she sells her old one, would the new owner have access to account/bank details?

    You can transfer iTunes purchases from the old iPod to your computer then sync the new iPod.
    Connect the old iPod, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click File > Transfer Purchases From
    Now connect the new iPod and sync Apps, Music, etc.
    As for selling the old one tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
    That will erase all personal data from the iPod.
