Some songs dont appear in artist

hey well i havent had any real troubles with my ipod until now. all thats happening is, i synch my ipod with itunes and it says all my songs are downloaded.. and then when i turn my ipod on, it doesnt show many of the songs in the artists, but shows them when i click ALL at the top.. or just SONGS. does anyone know what might be happening? its weird cause its like itunes is selecting which songs to put in artists or not...

You should check that the songs have album name info in their ID tags.
See: Some songs don't show under artist on my iPod.
Once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.

    I recently downloaded my previous purchased items from iTunes but I have found that some songs dont play or have only downloaded half of the actual song :/ when i go to iTunes>Purchased it says that the songs have already been downloaded, which means i cant re-download them. is there a way I can re-download my previous purchased songs?

    Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match.  Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

  • How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?

    How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?
    Even when I try to change the featured artist in my I tunes, it won't stay with my other songs, and I want to be able to listen to my album in the order of the songs that the album has it.

    The iTunes/iPod software isn't set up to let you sync songs from more than one libray, but if you manually manage the iPod you can add tracks from multiple computers without removing the existing content. Personnaly I think syncing with a library is a much better way to manage your iPod, so I'd suggest you just copy the stuff you bought at work onto a memory stick, then take it home and import it into your iTunes library there.

  • When i download songs from i tunes to i pod some songs dont play or they skip songs or they make 2 copies of songs  what to do

    when i download songs from i tunes library to i pod  some songs dont play or they skip songs  or they make 2 copies of songs  what to do

    *Skipping songs*
    The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
    You may like to try scanning the files with MP3 Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
    Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/option clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags > None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
    Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g. convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

  • I need help! My song doesnt appear under artists...

    Ok so, heres my problem: A song I have on my iPod that does not appear under Artists, it only appears under songs. I checked the spelling and punctuation and eveything is fine... I cant figure out whats wrong.
    help?
    <3<br>

    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
    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.

  • Songs dont appear under the artist name on the ipod....

    When i put a song on itunes, it appears under the artist and the song name but when i look for it on my iPod under the artist name, it doesnt show up. Where is the song?

    I went to that link but it doesnt seem to help. In itunes I have made sure that the song title, album and artist name are already in there with the correct spelling etc. In itunes all the info is there. When I look for the artist in my ipod it doesn't show up. I can find the album and the individual songs but the artist is not there.
    Also...Songs in my itunes have all been organized and did the "get info" thing but some of the same artist appear several times on my ipod. I made sure everything is spelled correctly and the same for the same artist name, I have done resets and restore on the ipod, I deleted all the music out of itunes and then reinstalled it but I am still having the problem with certain artists...not all of them just randomly some. And it is continuing to happen with some new mp3s I am adding. What is going on with that???
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...I have only had my ipod 3 weeks!!! If there is something wrong with it I want to return it and get a new one or is it user error?
    Thanks to anyone that can help.

  • Songs not appearing under artists

    Hi,
    I'm going to try and explain this the best way I can,
    On my Ipod (30GB), some songs do not appear under the artist.
    Example:
    I have two songs by Christina Aguilera, A is from the album "Stripped" and the other one (B) I haven't listed any album name (therefore it is Blank). So on my ipod when I go into:
    [ Music -> Artist -> Christina Aguilera -> All ]
    only song A is shown.
    But if I go into [Music -> Songs ] I can find A and B...
    So you see my problem,
    If you have any idea, please answer,
    Regards,
    Waq

    "the other one (B) I haven't listed any album name (therefore it is Blank)."
    There is the problem.
    See: Some songs don't don't show under artist on my iPod.
    From what I understand, once you add a second album name for that artist even for a single song, ALL the rest of the songs should now show up under that artist, even those without album names.

  • Some songs dont work, Random freezes, etc.

    I get random freezes, some songs just flat out don't work when they do in itunes, unsure what to do, 5 R's dont do jack, along with anything else found on this site...i cant even find a ipod online support thing which is rediculous, any help is greatly appreciated.

    well, i've done many things from switching the drive, a number of restores, and such. It's not JUST that the song doesn't work, it does this really werid thing that when its playing a song, it'll randomly reboot...then i'll replay that song that it just had a problem with and it'll work, until a few songs later and it happens again. One thing that i'm now trying it setting my ipod on shuffle, but this time locking the wheel to see if its an actual error with the wheel that for some reason its getting the impression that its being held down or something and causing it to reboot itself, I doubt it'll work, but hey! anything is worth a try at this rate...i'm also converting ALL of my songs to AAC then i'll sync them to the ipod and see how well that goes, if you or anyone else has any other suggestions, i'm open to them and appreciate them very much! thanks for the help so far!

  • Updating songs dont go in artists folders?

    can someone tell me why songs i downloaded from itunes did not get filed in the artists folders. i can only get them from the genres folder. everything in the get info screen seem to be correct. thanks

    Found out that in order for songs to be filed with artists,you must put album info on the songs you import if you have more than than one. Better off doing this at time of import than going back and changing song by song. So far so good with my new 30g 5G except for figuring out some of the quirks. One last thing, it seems to take longer for itunes to reconize my ipod when I connect it. What is a normal time for Windows XP. Thanks

  • Just downloaded itunes 11.0, some songs are appearing "faded" whats up with that?

    Just downloaded itunes 11.0 to my mac bookpro.  Some of my music titles appear "faded".  I can still select them but the titles are faded....????

    I was finally able to get 11.0.1 launched by removing and reloading Quick Time on my computer.  I still have the original problem in which many of my songs are terminating before the song should be finished.  Some stop after just 10 or 15 seconds while others play through most of the song, but skip to the next song with 15 seconrds or so left to play in the original song.  I was hoping that the new version would have fixed that problem.  No luck. 

  • My songs dont appear in order on my ipod touch

    I bought the 32gig touch yesterday and I love it! But I notice when I transfer a playlist (in song order) it shows up just fine but when you click on the album icon it has the song order disarranged..song 3, song2, song 4, song 5 etc..I clicked on shuffle a couple of times to see if that was it but it wasn't. In my itunes it again is in the right order.
    How do I fix this?

    Are you copying over the iTunes Library.itl file and other supporting files in the iTunes folder, as well as the media folder iTunes Media? See Make a split library portable for some background.

  • Songs dont appear on phone.

    I recently got my phone exchanged under warranty. The new phone came with os 4 so required updating. Having updated it appears that all my music has synced ( 10 of 13gb used on phone ) but very few songs appear to be on there when phone is in music mode. Where are they if not on phone and why is the phones memory so full if they are not there???

    I have the same problem. I have music files from my old computer and transferred it to the one where my phone is synced. Itunes plays it well but if I transfer the file to my phone, it's just greyed out with a broken circle beside it. It's driving me nuts because I was able to transfer before the latest iOs update came. Now everything is screwed up.
