Some artists dont show up on my list even tho they are on the ipod

When I go thru the menu and click on artists, there are about 10 artists that do not show up. I know that they are on the ipod, and if I go thru albums instead I can find the full album, but it just doesnt show up thru artists. There doesnt seem to be anything odd about the track, and they were uploaded from the cd. Does anyone know whats going on?!

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 to all the blanks 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.

Certian bands/artists not showing up on Zen Stone Plus when they are on the play

I got my zen stone plus a day ago. I've been using windows media player sync to get music onto it?But when I sync it once, I cant seem to get more artists on when I sync again. It says the songs are on there through the actual file... but they aren't showing up on the player!?any idea how to fix this?

I am also having a problem like this. I have tried to add to the music on my Zen Stone + using the Creative Media Lite software. It is transferred, I disconnect the player properly but when I try and browse to the music it is not there. I have then re-tried, just transferring the album folder directly under the Music folder, and it works! I have other tracks using the dri've:\Music\Artist\Album folder structure and they work, so what is going on? Maybe the ZEN doesn't like The Decemberists!

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the Itunes Media file directory

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the itunes Media Dir. I have spent hours trying to find out why so I moved the songs out of the Music/itunes/itunes media and uninstalled itunes. I then restarted my pc and re-installed itunes. When I opened itunes the same songs are still there (but cannot be played as cannot find location) even though I have not put anything back in the itunes media dir. To me there seems to be a refreshing problem as itunes is not looking at the directory even through the advanced preferences area is mapped to the correct area.
Help please.
Thanks

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Movies and some TV Shows wont play on iPhone even though they appear in the Movies section

I have an iPhone 4S and my old 3GS and after upgrading to iOS 5 neiher will play all of the Movies and TV Shows that sync across from iTunes.
I already have issues with incorrect media that won't sync based on compatibility grounds, but these videos have synced onto the devices but show up in the Videos secion as greyed out options that can't be clicked.
In some cases two of the three episodes will play but the third is just a grey option.
Does anyone know what is causing this?
The problem exisits both with video ripped from DVD's and video purchased from the iTunes store.

Hey there ImpossibleXY,
It sounds like you have some items on the phone taking up space but you cannot find them to delete them.
First, if you have not already start by restarting the phone and your computer, then try the sync again to see if it updates correctly.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If the issue persists I would next backup restore the device with iTunes to see if that refreshes the space correctly on the phone.

Some of my songs don't show up on my iPhone, even though they are in Match.

I can access the full library if I sign in to iTunes from a desktop computer. Most of my songs are accessible to be downloaded, but several songs I recently added are missing. In one case, only one of the songs on an album is visible to be downloaded. What do I need to do to access my full library of songs?

Firefox is failing to display many (but not all) images on websites that I visit, some images are shown and some are not even if they are in the same format.

I recently changed my ISP because I was having connectivity issues. In particular my router would shut down sporadically. As part of my attempt to clear issues I ran some spyware software which I've been told I could trust. Since then I have a problem viewing many websites as many (but not all) of the images are missing, even on websites that I know very well, including my own. What is very strange is that on one site every page has a jpg image under the navigation bar and all of these jpg's appear except one which doesn't appear even when I reload images. This problem also makes security sensitive sites like my bank site look very amateur which frightens me. The problem does not occur on other web browsers.

Which ''spyware software'' software did you run?
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.

*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Creative Cloud Widget shows options to install apps even though they are present on the system already. (Retina MacBook Pro - OSX Yosemite)

Finding that the Adobe Creative Cloud Widget/Launcher that drops down from the 'system bar' at the top of the screen now is not showing the apps that area clearly installed. It was accurate immediately after install, but I have noticed that it only shows two of the thirteen installed applications for the past week or so. Any ideas how to fix this and make it accurate again?

Hez_Godfrey please utilize the steps listed in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html to restore the list of installed applications. I would recommend beginning with solution 2.

Purchased movies no longer showing up in my itunes, even though they are in my past purchases.

I am trying to figure out why movies I purchased (not rented) are no longere in my library. There are quite a few of them missing. Any ideas on how to get them back?

In the Event mode use the View ➙ Sort ➙ By Date ➙ Decending menu option. Then the latest imports will be near the top of the Event window (depending on when the photos were taken of course).
Or Control-Click on one of the thumbnails in the Last Import album and select Show Event from the contextual menu:

Not all files showing up on desktop even tho they are really there..

hello everyone, i have an old silver powerbook G4 that is currently up to date in tiger 10.4.10
when i download something to the desktop, the file icons are not showing up. if i make a new finder window and view the desktop in a window, the files are there.
back in the day, i would have just rebuilt the desktop.. but not sure what to do with tiger...
i searched around and someone said to Move the
"Users/youraccount/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Finder.plist"
to the desktop then reboot and see if it clears things up...
does this make sense, or does someone else have a better idea?
thanks

Hello dri:
I would trash the preference file (what was apparently suggested) com.apple.finder.plist and then restart. No need to keep it, OS X rebuilds preference files as needed.

Why is it that some songs get listed on their own even though they are part of an album?

Why is it that some songs get listed on their own even though they are part of an album? They are always songs that I had on my computer not imported from a cd using iTunes. I have verified that all the info is correct and matches the other songs in the album. Sometimes I can check the "compilation" box on all the songs in the album and that will put them in order and in the same listing. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.

Good One CL.
What I did in this case is select all the songs in the album and select Get Info and see if Album Artist and Album and Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist and Sort Album are the same.

You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not seem to be related to. Is your question concerning iTunes Match or syncing with iTunes via USB?

My iPhone has my daughter's music but those same songs do not show up on the computer in the list of songs on my iPhone. They are in the library though

Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
Here's that thread...

I have uploaded the InDesign file so that you can take a closer look at:
http://www.hsdesign.comuf.com/downloads/
The file is called "Template_File.indd"
So, as discussed the main issues are:
1) The TOC doesn't generate all the listings (only those with the applied paragraph style "Heading 1 - Appendix")
2) When I try to create a new pargraph style and apply it to existing or new text, it reads the pargraph style in the Paragraph Style menu, but the style doesn't actually apply.
Hopefully you can figure something out from this. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Downloaded films (and those synced from your computer) should be in the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :
