Some albums not listed under artist.

Some albums appear in the Albums list but not in the Artist/Album submenu.
eg; I have 2 albums by Sigur Ros but only one shows when I go:
Artist/Sigur Ros - Album.
I only see one.
I see both under the Album list.
Any thoughts appreciated...

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.

  • 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?

  • Songs not listed under artist name.

    As an example, I have 3 Journey songs on my Ipod. However, only one shows up under the artist heading "Journey". The other two are available under the songs list, but I want them grouped correctly. I deleted them off my Ipod and added them again. The artist name is spelled correctly, there is no other solution I can see...any suggestions???

    I have the same problem with my I Pod nano (1st generation).
    It appeared after an software update delivered by apple - now version 1.3.1.
    The problem is only there, when you have typed in an album name for one song but not for the other songs. Then he just shows the songs, where the album name is available.
    For Example:
    Artist - Album - Title
    Journey - Escape - Stone in love
    Journey - - Anytime
    If you click on Music - Artists - Journey. He directly shows you the contend of the album escape. You can't access to the song "Anytime" - because there you don't have an Album information.
    That's a bug in the new software version. It was not in the previous software version.
    Hope Apple will solve this in the next software update.

  • Songs not listed by artist

    Hi
    I have synced my entire music collection, most of which consists of mp3s ripped from my CD library, onto my 2 week old ipod 30gb with video. I noticed a few days ago that some of the songs from one album weren't listed under the 'by artist' section. It now seems that there are a fair number of songs that are also missing from under their respective artist on the ipod.
    The strange part of it is that I know the songs are on the ipod — I can get them to play by making a playlist in itunes and transferring that over. The ipod also reads the correct artist and title tags for the song once it's in the playlist.
    I'd much appreciate it if anyone can help me get the songs to appear under the artist list as this is my prefered way of finding my songs.
    Thanks
    Greg

    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

  • All songs not showing under artists name - even though spelling is the same

    I have 8 songs by a particular artist. Only one shows under "artist". I have checked 5 times - spelling-everything is the same for the artist. All of the songs can be found under "songs". I have checked spellings over & over. What could be my problem?

    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) the song has no album name associated with it.
    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. If you are using iTunes 8 and view the multiple items info box the compilations setting is in the "Options" tab. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.
    Also if the 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 (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title.

  • Jollywallet is not listed under tools, extensions, where is it?

    Windows 8.1 Firefox 28.0
    Jollywallet is suddenly in my face, all over Firefox.
    I have been looking at removal fixes for an hour.
    I want jollywallet off my machine.
    Jollywallet is not listed under tools, extensions or add-ons on my Firefox.
    Jollywallet is not under add-remove programs windows.
    Thanks

    Okay, this is a little more complicated now.
    Firefox stores your settings in a folder which it terms a profile. You can have multiple profiles, but only one running at a time.
    When you use Reset, Firefox creates a new profile for you and copies over your bookmarks and selected other data.
    At this point, you have a choice: do you want to build up your new profile with your standard customizations, or do you want to resurrect your old profile and try to clean it?
    I guess it's not really a choice because you can do both and switch back and forth deciding which works better for you.
    Here's my suggested old profile resurrection procedure:
    '''Overview'''
    These are the steps:
    (1) Create a new Firefox profile<br>
    (2) Remove everything from that new profile folder<br>
    (3) Copy in everything from the old profile folder
    '''Create a new Firefox profile (Windows)'''
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Note: Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.''
    Click the Create Profile button. Use the default location (i.e., do not click to choose a different folder). Then select that new profile in the dialog and start Firefox.
    '''Open the New Profile folder in Windows Explorer'''
    Firefox in the new profile should look like a factory fresh installation. Open the Troubleshooting Information page using either:
    * Help &gt; Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table, click the "Show Folder" button. Firefox will launch your brand new profile folder in Windows Explorer.
    Leaving this folder open, switch back to Firefox, and Exit. This will leave that profile folder open in Windows Explorer.
    '''Copy Old Data in Place of New'''
    In that new profile folder, select all the contents and delete.
    Leaving that window open, open or switch over to your Old Firefox Data folder. Drill down into your old profile folder. At this level you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.
    Select everything and Copy (either right-click > Copy or Ctrl+c).
    Switch to the empty new profile folder in other window and Paste (either right-click > Paste or Ctrl+v). This may take a minute since some of the files are large.
    '''Start Firefox'''
    Firefox should start up in that new profile with the resurrected old profile data. Success?

  • Acrobat XI Pro not listed under applications after installation

    Mac OS: 10.9.1
    Processor: Intel Core i7 2.3GHz
    After installed Acrobat XI Pro, it is displayed in the Creative Cloud Desktop as "Up to date"
    But not listed under "Applications" folder.
    Could not find Acrobat XI Pro anywhere in the computer.
    When you choose "Open with" option for pdf file, not displays Acrobat XI Pro.
    Instead it displays the older version Acrobat Pro 9.
    Someone please help to fix this.

    So, I completed all the steps with no luck. Uninstalled CC and all its components, ran the cleaner, etc. When I reinstalled a fresh version of the Creative Cloud Desktop App, it showed as if Acrobat XI Pro is already installed - see attached screen shot. Any other suggestions?

  • Isight not listed under firewire in system profile

    hello all,
    All of a sudden my isight is not listed under firewire in the system profile. I've tried restarting with it plugged in and with it not plugged in. The green light of the camera will come on for a few seconds then shuts off when i do plug it into a firewire port. I have tried both ports on the computer and it is the same thing with each. I use yahoo messenger and no camera is listed there anymore. I also have iglasses installed and it always worked great. I guess I need to know how to get the system to list it again!
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Tim

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Tim
    Sorry Tony's good suggestion did not work for you.
    (1) You can try the other checks, including checks for things like bad cables or ports, from How to test your iSight to ensure it is functional. If you can, it will be particularly helpful to try your iSight on another Mac and try another iSight on your Mac.
    (2) Click the highlighted items in System Profiler as follows to check for iSight:
    If your iSight is still not recognized in System Profiler, try the suggestions in Apple's What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire device article.
    (3) If you can get your external iSight recognized as a Firewire device in System Profiler but your iSight is still not working, you should next try all relevant suggestions from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight.
    Be sure to include the checks for whether the problem is "application-specific" and "user-specific". Click here if you need help creating a new user account to check whether your problem is "user-specific" during Troubleshooting.
    (4) If you cannot get System Profiler to recognize iSight as a Firewire device after trying all relevant suggestions, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • G470 Bluetooth not listed under Device Manager and not working

    Hi,
    Can someone teach me how to solve my G470 problem?
    Its Bluetooth is not listed under Device Manager and I can't find it anywhere.
    Before that, it isn't working at all.
    Thanks
    Solved!

    hi athirah11,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    Can you try the following:
    1. Press the Windows key‌ +R, type devmgmt.msc and press Enter. On the Device Manager, click View > Show hidden devices and check if the Bluetooth device is being listed.
    - Link to picture
    - Link to picture
    2. If the bluetooth device shows up under the Device Manager, do the following:
        a. Under Control Panel > Programs, uninstall the Bluetooth driver/software (reboot if necessary)
        b. Run the Bluetooth Driver Installer
         -  this will identify the type of Bluetooth Device installed on the system (eg. Qualcom Atheros, Intel, etc.) and it will install a generic Bluetooth driver. If successful, the Bluetooth device and its components should now appear normally under the Device Manager.
    If the bluetooth device still doesn't show up, can you provide the model number of your G470 (eg. 59xxxxxx) fur further checking.
    Let me know how it goes.

    For links inside Firefox, you can change a setting in the Options dialog. This article has the steps: [[Change the program used to open email links]].
    For links outside Firefox, you may want to check with Google on what they suggest. (Well, they suggest using Google Chrome, but I meant other than that!)

  • Hyperion Strategic Finace are not listed under Smart View Shared Connections (EPMS 11.1.2.3)

    Dears,
    I'm can't access Hyperion Strategic Finance trhough SmartView because are not listed under Smart View Shared Connections.
    But if I try connect trhough Private Connections it's work fine.
    I've tried reconfigure Providers Services, but didn't work.
    Anyone could help me?
    Thanks in advance

    It should be possible using a Shared connection to Strategic Finance as it is documented - Creating a connection using Shared Connections , as far as I am aware it is only OBIEE where you have to use the XML method.
    It might be worth checking in workspace under workspace settings and enabled products to see if Strategic Finance is enabled.
