Offline music doesn't show up under artists...

I just made some playlists available offline, however the artists from those playlsits don't show up under the artists section of the app. Artists from 'my music' are visible, but not the ones from the offline playlists. Is this how it's supposed to work?

Wait-I deleted tunes from my daughter's Touch last night. Does that now mean they are now gone from my library? I'm at work, so I can't check!

My music doesn't show up under my Touch. HELP!

When I connect my brand new 64g iTouch to my laptop (Dell Inspiron Windows XP) it shows up in iTunes but it doesn't list the music, videos, playlists, etc.
BUT-----
If I want to copy a song that is already on my library, when I click on it and drag it to my Touch, the menu magically appears, but as soon as I let go of the button, poof, it's gone! Everything is on my Touch. But I need to delete some tunes from my Touch, but I can't because I can't see the darn library!
Oh-and I also get this strange message that syncing can't be done because dataclass services can't get info from syncing services. What the heck is that? Meanwhile, it says in the upper window that it's syncing and updating and my Touch says "sync in progress".
Also, I do have the 9.0 version of iTunes.

De-cluttering tip: Is there a way to prevent a track from showing up under "Artist" while still being able to view the artist info when I play the song by Album?

I asked this question here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15312099#15312099
It was suggested I re-post in this forum, seeing as the problem may be specific to the Touch.
So, I have lots of "compilation" albums that include songs by various artists (for example, Pitchfork's top 500 singles of the decade). I usually select my music by "Artist," and now my ipod is super cluttered, because now I have hundreds and hundreds of artists listed, many of which I only have one or two songs by from this compilation.
One solution: simply delete the artist information for these large compilations, and then the songs from the compilations will no longer show up under "Artists." Problem is, I would like to know who the artists are when I play the compilation (I simply don't want to have the artists listed under "Artists")
Another solution: I could manually delete the artist info, but paste that info on to the song name. For example, a track that once looked like:
Artist: Nirvana
Title: Smells Like Teen Spirit
Album: Best of the '90s
After my editing, would look like:
Artist: [blank]
Title: Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Album: Best of the '90s
This would solve my problem...but it would literally take hours to do for each and every individual song. Not practical.
Does any one have any other suggestions? It seems like there would be a way to just check a box for what info you want to be listed (ie, I could un-check "Artist," and then the song would no longer be listed by Artist, even though the Artist information would still be retained for reference). Does this option exist?
In the prior thread, someone suggested I mark it as a "compilation" in iTunes. But that did not prevent the individual artists from being listed under "Artists." Someone suggested that I may need to turn "Compilation" to "On" on my iPod. But that does not seem to be an option on the Touch.
Suggestions?
Thanks!!

Why not set the iPod to show Compilations?
In Settings select Main menu (or Music menu) and check Compilations. (You can do so for both if you desire.)
Now all of the Artists that only appear in compilation albums won't appear in Artists.
To get to the Artists that only appear in compilation albums open Compilations in your Main Menu or Music Menu (or either).

Certain bands dont show up under 'Artists'

On my ipod, most of the bands i listen to are accessible through 'artists', but some aren't. I have to go to songs and do it that way. For example, in order to listen to Foo Fighters or Rise Against, I have to manually choose the songs throughout all 700 of my songs, instead of quickly going to their name and albums. I know for a fact that it is not because of the 'part of a compilation' thing because I checked. The reason it happened was because I figured I'd delete all their music and just download full albums instead. But after I deleted every song to start fresh, their names never showed up under artists again. Does anyone know how I can fix it, or if I even can?

How did you check the compilation album thing, because it's possible to see a false condition about this?
If you check one individual song, you highlight the song and select (right-click/Get Info/Info>Part of a compilation. Clearly, there will - or will not - be a tick in the box. (Tick obviously means that it is "part of a compilation".)
However - if you highlight several songs (i.e the complete album) and select (right-click)/Get Info/Options>Part of a compilation you see a drop-down menu. If just one song on an album is set to "No", and the rest are set to "Yes", this drop-down box will show No. So, if you use this method, change the setting to Yes and then back to No to make sure all the songs are set to No.

Windows not recognizing my time capsle - I just purchased a new computer that runs windows 8 and it doesn't want to recognize the time capsule as an external hard drive (ie doesn't show up under my compter). I've downloaded airport utility...

I just purchased a new computer that runs windows 8 and it doesn't want to recognize the time capsule as an external hard drive (ie doesn't show up under my compter). I've downloaded and run airport utility, but it seems to have a hard time finding the time capsule...maybe one out of 10 times it will find it.
What's more, when I look under network infrastructure under the control panel, it shows my Broadcom ADSL centurylink Router...so I'm wondering if my modem/router combo is overriding the router function on my timecapsule and the time capsule is not being used as a router...
Any help much appreciated!

In this case the TC should be in bridge mode.
Win8 is still problematic. Try using ethernet instead of wireless. I think the drivers are poor still and it is well worth having a try via ethernet if you haven't already.
Otherwise you will need to wait for apple to release bonjour for windows 8 and airport utility.. which is not out yet.
Also make sure the windows is set to home, not work or public.. even turn off the firewall.
Open windows explorer and type the TC ip address into the address bar.. (none of which is perhaps the same.. I gave away windows at vista.. shudder)

InDesign - newly installed panel doesn't show up under extensions

Installed Adobe Exchange panel for Indesign CS6, searched for SuperOverlay creator, installed it with no errors, restarted InDesign but the panel menu item doesn't show up under Window > Extensions. Am I doing this correctly? I've reinstalled the extension a number of times and restarted InDesign many times with no success.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hey Jonathan—Yeah it's weird, but it's newer software so some bugs are understandable. No worries, happy to help resolve a more core problem if I can.
Yes, it has been showing up in My Stuff on the AE panel the whole time. I opened my Extension Manager and uninstalled the SuperOverlay Creator, went back to InDesign, installed the panel again, restarted InDesign, still no dice under Window > Extensions.
Throwing some screenshots up here for you, please let me know if you see anything wrong that I should be changing.

When plugged to a pc my iphone shows that it has music on it, when its not plugged to my pc my music doesn't show up. why is that?

There is a difference between your phone SOFTWARE being up to date and your phone being SYNCED. Plug it into your computer and sync it. This should put everything on your phone.

I tried syncing music to iphone 4s but won't show up under artist

I put an album under each song but it still did not come up under the artist. In my music on my phone it comes up under songs but I just wanted it under artist because no one searches through individual songs. I checked all the boxes and sync'd 30 times, even when i hit sync my phone doesn't even say sync in progress. this is happening with multiple artists, only been a problem since updating to ios5 and new iphone 4s.

Don't start deleting iCloud accounts. Do this first.
Check that both devices are using the same account (i.e. Apple ID) under Settings > iCloud.
Make sure that 'Calendars' is turned on in both devices in Settings > iCloud.
Check to make sure that the event you are creating is an iCloud Calendar event, and not associated to another email account.
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts & Calendars on both devices. Make sure the default calendar is the iCloud one, and also make sure that 'Sync Events' is set to 'All Events'.
Go to the Calendar app, tap on 'Calendars', and make sure that ALL calendars are being displayed.
On a computer (not an iPhone or iPad), go to www.icloud.com, and log in with your Apple ID & password. Check the Calendar to see if the events are showing there.

Music in purchased not showing up under artist

Basically my problem is that I keep one playlist to sync to my iPhone, because I only have the 16gb phone and I have way more music than that. So one particular album (that I purchased on itunes) would mysteriously not be there when I search by Artist. I then found out that if I go into playlist, under "Purchased" sure enough there it was, but it wouldnt show up under my other playlist, even though I put it there.
So I went back to itunes, clicked on my iPhone, and had it sync to "Purchased" playlist in addition to the other playlist. Then I exited music and reopened it. Voila! There was the album, under artist where it should be.
Apple, please fix this. Stop putting my music around where I never told it to be. If I put a song on my iPhone/iPod, it should come up whether i search by Playlist, Song, Album, Artist, etc. This is so frustrating.

I found that I had to close and then reopen the Grove Music app after setting a specific folder/location on the WD My Cloud that contains the music files before Grove would actually populate the Albums, Artists, and Songs categories. One needs to make sure to point Grove Music to the folders containing the music via the "Change where we look" option, then click the Add Folder option (the plus inside a circle icon) on the "Build your collection from your local music files" dialog box. Its possible it may take Grove a while to catalog the files if there are a large amount of files. It might be better to map the music directory on the WD My Cloud to one's local PC and point Grove at the mapped drive instead. Here is an example. I don't have any music on my local PC at the moment. The albums found and listed are stored on the WD My Cloud. It should also be noted that the folder "Music" on the WD My Cloud is a private share ("Public Access" set to Off) that has the "Media Serving" set to On. On a side note, its possible that when Windows 10 was installed it configured the network connection as a "Public network", or has has turned off "Network discovery", in which case it will block certain or all access to local network devices like the WD My Cloud. See the following link for the general directions/steps to switch from a Public Network to a Private Network which should allow Windows 10 to access devices, like the WD My Cloud, on the local network: How to change Windows 10 network type from Public to Private One can enable or disable "Network Discovery" by following the general directions in this link even though its for Windows 7: Enable or disable network discovery

Songs don't show up under artist

I recently got my first ipod (newbie to ipod, but not to digital music). All my songs in my itunes library have the correct artist name and song name. But after i synced my ipod, most of the songs from my library do not appear under the artist name. How do I fix this? Is there an easy way.
The songs are on my ipod, but they are not showing up under the artist heading with the other songs by this artist. It seems fine in the itunes library though. Please someone help!

The songs that are not showing up need to have an album name.
All songs should have an album, artist and song name.

Songs Not Showing Up Under Artists

So ive put my entire iTunes music library onto my brand new 5th generation Ipod, yet a bunch of my songs arent listed under their appropriate artist. For example, i have a bunch of ACDC songs on my iTunes that are all labelled "ACDC" under Artists with the exact same spelling....yet only one song shows up under ACDC on my iPod. I know that the rest of the songs are on my Ipod because i can reach them by scrolling through by song name, but I'd like them to show up under their appropriate artist too. Any suggestions?
dunno? Windows XP

This isn't foolproof but 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) it is missing an album name.
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. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.
Also if tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in, in the absence of one you can just add None or Miscellaneous. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod

Album art not showing up under Artists

I just bought my 120GB ipod last week. It was working fine, but now the album art that shows up next to each album under "Artists" is not showing up. The art is there if I select a song from one of those albums. This didn't happen before...is there something wrong?
Also, I was listening to a playlist on shuffle, and when I clicked to go to the next song, it kept skipping to the next song like it was stuck in that mode. What's going on with that?

It's likely that the artwork cache is corrupted.
It's a simple fix by unchecking "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when your iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your iPod.
Then check "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when your iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your iPod again.
This should resync the album artwork to the iPod.

Song not showing up under Artist listing

Let's take for example a song entitled "Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out of my Head".
The song is in my iTunes. File name is all correct, all that jazz. When I go under "Artists" to "Kylie Minogue", the song doesn't show up there.
But if I go under the setting of "Songs", "Can't Get You Out of my Head" is listed there. I click on play, it works just fine, has the artist listed as "Kylie Minogue", but still not listed when I go to "Artists".
Anyone have any idea what this is all about?? Thanks!

Make sure it has an album name.
Also, look in Compilations.
