It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.

  • Not all songs appear under each artist...?

    I've noticed that on my iPod, if I have some songs without an album listed, they won't show up under that artist if there's songs there that are listed with an album under that same artist. And this only happens if there is only 1 album listed under that user. That sounds really confusing so I'll give an example.
    I have a few songs from Savage Garden's "Affirmation" CD on my iPod. But I also have some from their self-titled album, but I didn't bother putting the album name in. When I look under Savage Garden on my iPod, it goes straight to Affirmation, and shows ONLY the songs from the Affirmation album, but nothing else.
    Is there any way to change this?

    This has been a known bug for quite some time now. Apple seems to not see it as a bug tho but anyways....
    THe work around is to either put a album name to the tracks or mark all tracks in your library without an album name "Unknown Album" or whatever you want to put in that field.
    Labeling all tracks in your library without an album name "Unknown" is the easy, quick thing to do as it can be done within one minute. You just goto the "Music" library, hit the "Album" header so everything in the library is organized from A to Z to "Blank album name". Roll down highlight the first track that has no album name. Roll down to the last track without a album name, hold shift then highlight it. This highlight everything between the first and last.
    Now just rightclick hit "get info" type "Unknown" or whatever you wish in the "Album" field, then hit OK

  • Some users don't appear at the login screen when restarting, only upon logging in as a user who does appear, then logging out. How can I make all users appear on the initial list?

    I've inherited a previously used early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro at work.
    I now have my own account on the computer, however the account does not show up on the list of users to log in as in the start up log in screen. It will only appear if I first log in as one of the users who do appear, then logout. The background also changes between these two log in screens - the start up one is white whereas after logging out of one user it's the brushed steel background. My account has admin powers.
    Anyone have any ideas how I can make this account also show up on the start up screen?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I do think it has something to do with FileVault.
    Under System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> FileVault I try and click "Enable users" near the bottom (after unlocking with an admin password). If I do this from my own account a green check mark appears next to my name, but upon clicking "done" I received this message after a brief loading period:
    The following users weren’t allowed to unlock this disk because an unknown error occurred: (myusername).
    I tried going into the root account and performing this same process, the first time System Prefences unexpectedly quit, and the second I received the same error as above after clicking the "Enable User..." button next to my account and trying to hit "Done".

  • How can i get  all albums to appear in the artist list

    Not all of my albums for a particular artist appear in the artist list. How can I correct this?

    Hi spike1954,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to first check the Song Info associated with the albums that are not displaying correctly. See this article for the details:
    Playing and managing content in iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1399
    Editing and arranging content
    Editing Info
    Each audio or video file in iTunes has several settings and tags that can be easily modified. These options can be accessed by selecting any file in the iTunes browser windows and selecting "Get Info" from the File menu. You can add song lyrics, artwork and set special playback options. The "Info" tab lets you edit information about the file including artist and album info.
    Additionally, while this article refers to a previous version of iTunes, the information within can still be helpful:

  • Some artists missing from the "following" list

    I noticed that there are some artists that I follow who do not appear in the "following" list of my profile.
    This is a problem when I forget the name of some of my followed artists and I don't find them no longer on the list, loosing this way the possibility to listen to him forever!
    Someone else has the same problem? How can I solve it? there is no other way to access the full list of all my artists?
    many thanks in advance

    recently started using Spotify, so far so good, but following artists and saving albums is important to me, since that's the point of using Spotify for me and if that part is not working properly, why keep track of things that can't be tracked and personalized. I follow a lot of artists and also have saved (not downloaded) albums of these and also non-followed artists.Some of these artists and albums don't show up again in my "Your Music" section under Artists and Albums, they appear in "Recently Played" if I have listened to these. My specific example is for Artist: Biréli Lagréne(not trying to promote the artis here, but that's how I noticed)I click follow, then save some of the albums (all actually) and the next time I m using Spotify the artist is not followed and the albums are not saved, (I have downloaded one Album to test if that cements the artist and album into my list?, just to see what happens)

  • Songs dont appear under the artist name on the ipod....

    When i put a song on itunes, it appears under the artist and the song name but when i look for it on my iPod under the artist name, it doesnt show up. Where is the song?

    I went to that link but it doesnt seem to help. In itunes I have made sure that the song title, album and artist name are already in there with the correct spelling etc. In itunes all the info is there. When I look for the artist in my ipod it doesn't show up. I can find the album and the individual songs but the artist is not there.
    Also...Songs in my itunes have all been organized and did the "get info" thing but some of the same artist appear several times on my ipod. I made sure everything is spelled correctly and the same for the same artist name, I have done resets and restore on the ipod, I deleted all the music out of itunes and then reinstalled it but I am still having the problem with certain artists...not all of them just randomly some. And it is continuing to happen with some new mp3s I am adding. What is going on with that???
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...I have only had my ipod 3 weeks!!! If there is something wrong with it I want to return it and get a new one or is it user error?
    Thanks to anyone that can help.

    Please help. It is very urgent.
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Kapil,
    do you have the same result when deleting all roles and only using role SAP_EC_SUS_ORDER_PROCESSOR?
    Are vendors successfully replicated into SRM and a user created via Web
    Txn "Manage Business Partners"?
    Did you maintain table BBP_MARKETP_INFO?
    Did you replicate the company code using Txn BBP_SUS_BP_ADM?
    In any case there is also an inital replication of vendors
    from MM to SUS via BD14 necessary.
    Thanks,
    Claudia

  • Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes. Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod. Only podcasts are affected.

    I have not seen this precise issue addressed anywhere. I don’t know if it’s an iTunes or an iPod problem:
    - Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes;
      this, after normal behavior for more than a year since purchase of the iPod.
    - Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod.
    - Only podcasts are affected.
    - This concerns an iPod nano 6th gen. and iTunes 11.0.2 (26) on System 10.6.8
    - The only change to iTunes, the Mac, or the iPod is that just before this condition began
      I’d begun syncing an iPhone via iTunes.
    I sync manually (“manually manage music and videos”). The first time this happened, I wanted to delete seventeen podcast episodes (all belonging to one podcast) existing on the iPod — but they didn’t show up in iTunes. I tried re-downloading them and re-syncing, to see if the new versions would somehow “re-link” to iTunes. They didn’t. Only one — new — episode appeared in iTunes.
    I ultimately reset the iPod and manually resynced all the podcasts I currently had on iTunes. That worked, though I had to painstakingly add in all the other content deleted by the reset.
    So: after that reset and manual sync, all podcasts and episodes on the iPod were visible to iTunes and I was able to delete the podcast and its — now 18 — episodes I’d wanted to get rid of to begin with. But the next time I connected the iPod, only 8 podcast episodes out of 21 episodes total existing on the iPod were visible to iTunes. These are different podcasts; I’d deleted the original “invisible” ones.
    By “visible,” I mean in the “Podcasts” list view under “[name]’s iPod” in the iTunes sidebar. If I select “[name]’s” iPod in the iTunes sidebar and the “Podcasts” tab, all podcasts and episodes are visible, though greyed out because I’m set to sync manually. It’s unclear to me if these are the podcasts on the iPod or those currently in iTunes, as they are currently the same. If I switch to syncing automatically, all content on the iPod will be lost again, so I’m not up to trying it at the moment.
    As I said,  this involves only podcasts. All other content on the iPod does appear in iTunes.

    I have the same problem- i see my movies in the ipod section in itunes and they even show as mpeg4 in the 'kind' section but they dont have that small TV icon next to them. if i play these in itunes, they play fine- but try playing them on the ipod and all you hear is the sound and no picture. All videos that i manually transfer work fine in the beginning- its when i hook up the ipod to the comp again and start itunes- they start showing up without the 'tv' icon!! i have to again transfer them from the itunes library to activate them as videos.
    Need Help!!!

  • My camera does not appear in the source list on 9.2.3

    after updating my camera software, my camera no longer appears in the source list on iphoto '11.  I am running version 9.2.3 of iphoto on a MacBook (OS X 10.6.8).  I'm not sure how to revert to the previous verson befor the update.  Any ideas?

    Since you do not tell us any information about the actual problem except that it does not work a couple of things to try are generally the problem - make sure the camera is set to mass storage mode - that is what iPhoto expencts - and once you get your photos safely off the card (image capture maybe or if it moiunts to the desktop the finder) use the camera to reformat it

  • I've just bought an album and downloaded it,went to sync it to my ipod shuffle and it doesn't appear in the album list to sync, yet it is in the music library? why is it not available to sync?

    I've just bought an album and downloaded it,went to sync it to my ipod shuffle and it doesn't appear in the album list to sync, yet it is in the music library? why is it not available to sync?

    This sounds similar to the problem where new purchases will appear in playlists, but not the main music source, suggesting that iTunes is making a hash of the indexes. Somewhat bizarrely the solution for that one seems to be to download the current free Single of the Week, maybe it will help you too.
