Purchased album missing under Artists

I had pre-ordered the new Garbage album and last night I got an e-mail notifying me it was ready to download. So I opened iTunes on my iPhone 4 and went to Downloads and the album started downloading. I watched all the songs download then went to Music to listen to it. I looked under Artist and Garbage and that album was missing. So I looked under Albums and it's showing up.
I can't seem to get it to show up under the artist, though. I have synced, rebooted the phone, etc.
The tracks are not part of a compilation so that's not it.
The album shows up under the artist section in iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
How do I get this new album to show up under the proper artist?

When this album syncs back to iTunes, you can right click on all of the songs and change the unknown to Garbage. Sync your iPhone and it will correct itself then.
Soemone just mislabled this when it was released. It happens sometimes and it's easy to fix.

Songs missing under artist

hey, i have a 30 GB video ipod and i just noticed that for some, if i go to "artist", and view songs, songs are missing. yet if i go to "songs" they are there. they dont come up under the artist. can anyone help?

so, if there is no album, it will not be displayed under the artist?
Maybe.
Seems to be a bug in the most recent versions.
If you have songs from one album and songs with no album, the songs with no albums will not show up under Artist.
If you have songs from more than one album and songs with no albums, all songs will show up under Artist -> {Artist name} -> All.

Purchased album missing from library

I purchased an album yesterday on my PC and synched it to my iPod. Today I went to sync my phone and the album is gone. It is still appearing in my list as "Purchased" but I can't make it appear in my library and can't redownload it. I definitely didn't delete it. Any help please?

I managed to fix the problem.
Here's what I did.
1. Copy the purchased album folder and files from the iTunes directory to a different location (Desktop), then delete the whole purchased album from iTunes.
2. Missing track still does not show as an available download, so iTunes thinks it still exists.
3. Locate track that iTunes thinks is the missing track (it's a ripped CD).
4. Copy the whole ripped album to the desktop, then delete the album from iTues.
5. Missing purchased track now shows in the Store as an available song. Re-download the whole album.
6. Add copy of ripped album back into iTunes.
7. Enjoy.
Trouble is, I expect this may happen with other songs/albums, and I fear my iTunes library has been corrupted. Something else to investigate. :-(

Album art missing under artists tab on iPad 2 running iOS 5

I restored my iPad 2 to iOS 5 as a new iPad. Everything synced fine the first time and all album art showed up perfectly, but when I synced a second time, for some reason my iPad ended up messing up all the album art in the music app, but only under the artists tab. I tried unsyncing all of the music, and then resyncing all of it again, but it did the same thing if I synced it again. Only 5 artists have album art showing, but the rest are blank, even though every single album in my music library has album art. The album art in the actual albums tab is fine. Here's a picture that shows what it looks like:

Yup, driving me mad! I use my Ipad2 for professional DJing but simply cant any more. It took me three days to re-organise all my music and albums and get all the artwork in. I made the MASSIVE mistake of clicking 'sync over wifi' in itunes and now half the album art is missing again. Every time I re-sync, different artwork appears and different artwork vanishes????
I have now wiped all my music and am re-syncing yet again to see if it works.
Does anyone from Apple exist and can explain what the heck is going on here as IOS 5 has rendered my device almost unusable for its main purpose. I have to say, I have gone from selling Ipads at all my gigs to telling everyone who comes up to have a look not to bother any more - its probably caused several hundreds of laughs already, not the kind of advert Apple wants I'm guessing????

Your Music -- Album View under Artists [iOS]

When navigating the "artists" menu under "Your Music," please group the albums together when there is more than one so we can quickly find and play a specific album, rather than just placing all the songs by that aritsts in a list.

The new update to Spotify is a massive step forward for me. No longer will I scroll down and down and down and down to find a new album in my playlists. Brilliant!
But...Something is still missing.
The problem with the current versio of "Your Music" is that you can loose the ability to enjoy the music as the artisit indeeded, via their album. They spend days deciding what order to have the album, and with the current version of Spotify it makes it harder for you to pick out an album from the new "Your Music". All you can do is read the name under each track and work it out from there.
This is a simple fix for me. Just make the "Your Music" artisit page the same as the "Artist" page. Group the songs by album and allow is to play an album on its own.

Redownloading purchased albums, missing songs?

I bought red on my other computer but when i try to download it from purchase history i only get 16/22 songs, where are the rest of the songs, they don't show up in my purchase history?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

Albums missing from artist page

I know this has been brought up before, But does anyone also not see Album "When Angels & Serpents Dance" from P.O.D.'s Artist Page?

Hello: No I do not see that release available right now, although I am a U.S. listener. I did a quick look up at Is It On Spotify and just kept getting a return for something else under that title. So I do not think the release is currently available on the service anywhere. Looking up the release information on wikipedia shows it is their only release on the INO/Columbia labels.

Songs w/o Album NOT Under Artist! Why?!

Here's a funny quirk about the 5th Gen iPod. Songs by a certain artist that have no album listed aren't appearing under that artist when I browse by artist. Is there anyway to change this? Other than making the album "unknown" or something? Is there a setting I can change? I've been looking around but can't find a way to fix this without filling all the album titles as "unknown." Anyone encountered this problem? Solution? Thanks!

A response on this subject from another post:
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.

I had an earlier post on this subject with a similar problem. I tried what you suggested and it worked indeed. You can select the artists from your Ipod on Itunes and after highlighting the artists/albums affected, click NO on the compilation box and the issue is resolved: the artists appear on the list.
Thank you so much!!!!.

Music App Missing Artist Under "Artists", Exists Elsewhere

I just backed up my iPhone 4S and restored that backup to my new iPhone 5. I tried to use the music app to play a song by an artist, let's use Kanye West as an example. Under Artist I no longer have any listings for songs by Kanye West. However, if I go to Albums and find an album by Kanye West, this album is indeed there. When I play the album, it clearly says the artist is Kanye West.
So why isn't "Kanye West" showing up under Artists if his music is clearly there with the correct tags? Is anyone else missing random artist listings on iOS 6?

Anyone? Should I ask this somewhere else?

Newly purchased music isn't displaying under Artists

Please help me-this is driving me crazy.
I recently downloaded some new music from iTunes. The music is displaying correctly in iTunes and I have synched my iPod. But on my iPod, the new music displays everywhere except under the Artist section. Why would this be?
Thanks in advance.

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 has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If 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 but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous 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
Also 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.

Multiple same artists and albums missing, need some help pleas

Hi,
I just bought a Creative Zen mp3 player and for some reason, when I edit the name and info of my songs (artist, genre, album...ect...) , my player won't pick it up properly. I can have 2 or 3 different "Beatles" under artist, yet, they are spelled EXACTLY the same way. (capital letter, space, eveything is the same)
Now I used to have the same problem with my Creative Zen V Plus but I was always able to make it work after doing some copy & paste while editing the tracks info. This time, it's not working.
My second problem is the one that really bugs me the most. When I select certain artists on my player, some of the albums are missing. Ex: I select "Beatles" in my artists list and then I'm expecting to find all the albums but there are only 2 showing. Yet, if I go in the albums list,there're all gonna be there. And?as I said, the names & different info are all spelled properly. EVERYTHING IS THE SAME ! I spend alot of time editing my tracks info because I want everything to be organised perfectly on my player and it's getting really frustrating.
Anyone has a solution? thank you so much !

I am having a very similar problem. I had the problem, was told about Media Monkey, organized everything through Media Monkey, deleted all my songs off my Zen X-Fi 6GB and reloaded my songs. Again songs are missing. Here is the interesting thing. Media Monkey shows 273 items in the playlist and my Zen shows 273 songs So where are they?
I too am getting VERY FRUSTRATED! Please let me know if you find a solution!!
Thanx!

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

IPod Touch 5th Gen: Music not listed under artists nor albums, only in Songs

I just purchased a new iPod Touch 5 Generation, I have lots of albums on my PC, tried to copy them to iTunes, works perfectly and existing in iTunes, when checked the iPod Touch 5th Generation, the songs appear under Songs But nothing under Artists nor Albums!
All my Albums are with well maintained id-tags.
I checked the compilation, It's already un-tick.
Please help...

Nothing shows in the artists or albums columns at all, or specific songs don't show up in the corresponding artist or album listings?
Standard things to try would be a reset, then a restore (although with a new machine that ought not to be necessary).
I'm leaning towards the possibility of multiple tags. iTunes is much happier when files have a single ID3v2.3 tag. Where multiple tags exist there is the possibility that iTunes and iOS might process different tags. Select the tracks of a test album, uncheck the tracks and sync to remove from the device. Select again, right click and use Convert ID3 Tags... > None and click OK. Repeat the process two or three times just to be sure. Then use Convert ID3 Tags... > v2.3. You will need to refetch/reembed any artwork. Check the tracks again and sync. Any better now?
