Shows only album songs??

Why is it i only see songs from albums when i go to music>artist>x?x
it dont shows other songs from that artist beside the album he made
just made like that?! help please

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. 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.

When you look at Setting > General > About does it show 550 in Songs?
Can you add songs to your phone from iTunes on your computer?
I did an iOS update to one of the 6.X versions and it wiped out all my music and I had to add it back manually even though I has just done a backup to iTunes. Restoring from that backup didn't help. My music was all gone. But since then I have not had any problems with the updates erasing my music.

Ipod shows only 111 songs but itunes says has 16Gb on it

Itunes says 16Gb on ipod but only 111 songs show up. Windows explorer also says ipod is half ful. Tried the change drive letter thing and get no luck help

How are your tracks encoded? If they are in a lossless format such as Apple Lossless, AIFF, or even WAV, then the individual file size of each track is going to be very large.

No Playlists Show up, only individual songs

I took all my songs from my iPod using iPod rip, and then restored my iPod to a Mac format. When I sync'd the iPod to iTunes none of my playlists showed, only individual songs. Does anyone know why my playlists aren't showing up? and How can this be changed back to normal?

iTunes will group tracks into albums based on the following rules:
All tracks have the same Artist value and the same Album value, or
All tracks have the same Album Artist value and the same Album value, or
All tracks have the same Album value and the "Album is a compilation ..." flag is set.
In the first and third cases Album Artist can be left blank, though can be set if desired (to the same value as Artist in the first case, to "Various Artists" or similar in the third. Setting values for the Sort Album, Sort Artist and/or Sort Album Artist fields shouldn't affect grouping into albums, though it is a good idea to have consistent values (which can include blanks) for all tracks. Inconsistent values can result in tracks within a album being ordered incorrectly, even though the grouping is right. Inconsistent settings of the total tracks, disc number and total discs fields can also cause incorrect ordering. There's also evidence that iTunes 12 may, in some circumstances, fail to group albums correctly is one or more of the sorting fields are set to different values. iTunes 12 also seems to have a lurking bug such that changes to the fields that are used for grouping don't always trigger the code that makes the grouping happen. If it appears that all the rules are satisfied and an album still won't group correctly, the following "trick" may force the grouping to be correct:
select all the tracks that should be grouped as a single album
right-click > Get Info
on the Details tab, edit the Album value to put a "dummy" character at the start of the name - e.g., if the correct/intended value is "Dark Side of the Moon" change it to "xDark Side of the Moon"
click OK - in most cases the album will now be grouped correctly
now repeat the editing process to reset the Album field to the correct value
There's a similar oddity/workaround where an album can be "forced" to group correctly by setting and then unsetting the "Album is a compilation ..." flag.

In ios 6 I could choose an artist on the music app and see all his albums in a list. Now, with ios 7, it shows all the songs from every album, making it EXTREMELY hard to see all the albums. Is there a way to minimize this view and see only the albums?

Hello!
I need some help with the music app in ios 7...
In ios 6, I could choose an artist from the "srtists" view and it would show me all his albums as a list. Now, in ios 7, when I choose an artist, it shows me every song underneath every album, making it impossible to see al the albums at once! Is there anyway to minimize this view so I could see only the albums' titles as a list?
It is VERY annoying. I would very much appreciate any help on this!
Thank you

Exactly!
This is all about the experience and accessibility. I don't even mind if the new desing is beautiful or not, but if I find myself, like you, avoiding looking for my music, my experience becomes frustrating. I have about 35 albums of a single artist and I used to love going over them and choose the right thing for me, especially being on the road a lot, and now I have to think twice about even entering his name.
I really hope Apple will take those kind of things into consideration when they issue updates for ios 7, and maybe also give us back the goole search which was embeded into the spotlight search (which is really not that big of a request).
And for your 4s - get the new iphone, it's MUCH better

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

Hi TheGuru146,
It sounds like the iPod isn't restoring correctly. Try putting the it into Disk Mode manually and then restoring the iPod again as described in the article linked below.
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
iPod nano (7th generation)
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds.
When the Apple logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.

Help!! i brought an album a few years ago and only one song on the album comes up in my music libary but on the store it shows that i have purchased the whole album. how do i get the rest of the album???

have brought album off the store but only one song in library how do I get rest of album??

If you don't have it on your backup of your downloads/library then you might be able redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage, or if you go into the Store tab in Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) and tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' tickbox it might then show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against it for redownloading. If it doesn't show then check to see if you've hidden it : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases.

How can I print a list of iTunes albums only, without songs?

Itunes offers printing of albums but, what I get is a list of my 500 classical music albums and all the songs/tracks therein. Whereas I want to print only an alphabetical list of my albums, no songs. Better yet I would like to print a list of all my playlists (left column) which no longer seems possible.

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I had tried that but, with my Albums showing, when I selecrt File, Print (and pdf), it shows all the song titles in each album and I want only the album titles.
Make sure you have set the pulldown to "List of Albums" as pictured by Mr. McBlob. It is working fine on iTunes 11.1 on my machine.
It should give you a list of albums. The printout will indicate the "# Items" for each album, but will not list song titles.

I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window. Can you help?

I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window. One of the albums won't even play the music. Will only open the "booklet" for the cd but not the music. Can you help?

Hello dannugget
Normally, if the songs showed that it is purchased then it is probably already in your library. If not check out the article below to walk you through downloading your past purchases. You may also want to check to see if you have Automatic Downloads turned on so that way next time you can get your tracks without having to plug in and sync.

In iOS 4, you could make separate photo slide shows with separate songs. In iOS 5, this has changed. Now only 1 song is allowed at a time. It will not save separate song selections for each slide show. Is there any way to fix this? This is something I

I am on an iPad 2, 32gb, wifi...
Thank you

My Photos app works the same on iOS 5 as it did on iOS 4 i.e. I can have a different track for each album. When I select a track for a photo album I then start the slideshow so that it shows the first couple of photos with the track playing - I'm not sure it's necessary to start the slideshow but I always do and it remembers that track for that album.

IPhoto's Slide Show allows for only one song !

I love the feature of iPhoto's slide show for a user to accompany a slide show with music from one's iTunes library. However, you can only pick one song. That means that if you have a slide show longer than one songs worth of time (most slide shows will be this way), the song will just keep repeating.
Sure would be nice if there was a way to either play mutiple songs from a user's iTunes playlist. Alternatively, I've heard that the a capability may exist (outside of iTunes) to concatenate multiple songs together to accomplish the same end.
Any suggestions on how to do either of the above?

Hey Baheno,,
there's so many Roads that lead to Rome!
Road #1
You can consolidate 2or more songs together in iTunes and name that (2 in 1) big song, Say, "eye of the tiger 2in 1) so this way it will be easy to locate it in the iTunes library while searching through iPhoto. Else you can create a separate albums in iTunes, and you put there only songs that are combined together.
Road #2
This is the one I prefer. You can export your slide show to QT (Quicktime). it requires some calculation to create a slide show that ends with the end of 1 song. Then you create another QT slide show, that ends with another songs.... etc..... after you merge all the parts together and you have a very long slide show with many songs!
Transitions:
Keep in mind that exporting to quicktime uses only the desolve transition. Which is fine with me. I have seen so many people doing some power point presentation and slide show with photos and using a array of different transitions..... in the same slide show.....it is disturbing, and takes away from viewing pictures. In cinema, it is said: "the thecniques should remain invisible" so keep the disolve transition... it is the least obtrusive .... your viewers, will never complain that there was no "cube effects"! Only you know about the missing effects!
Self contained file.
When you export to QT, you now have a file that you can send people through e-mail (given that it is a reasonable size) or you can even post them on web page! like a .mac page.
When you want to view the show, you just click on the file and play it. No need to start iPhoto. No need to have a MAC, it can be seen on a PC too with QT. You can put it on a CD or DVD, and can be viewed on a DVD player.
But when you play your slide show directly from iPhoto, you have to be in front of your mac, you have to have iPhoto open! But you can have you mac connected to a TV in the living room (I do) and then can play the slide show from iPhoto, using a TV-VGA adaptor that will play on your living room TV for a larger crowd to see. It can also be played through the sound system!!!! infinity and beyond!!
If you want more specific on how to export to QT and merge 2,3,4,5 files post back. I will get more into it.
I always export to QT, because this way, in the future, you do not have to mess around again in selecting the photos needed, and selecting the songs in iPhoto. I just click the QT file, and it will always play the same!
hope this helps!
Michel
