Songs don't appear on iphone 4 under artists but there with search

Certain songs and albums have disappeared on my iphone 4 when I try to find them via the artist.  However, when I do a search, the songs are there and I can listen to them.  This happened after the most recent update, of course. 
And yes, I made sure the artists are entered correctly. 

I'm having this problem too.  I poked around and it looks like this is a common problem; there are several threads related to this.  An example is https://discussions.apple.com/message/16210142#16210142.  Basically, if an album or song that you import is marked as 'part of a compilation' the song and/or album won't show up when you list things by artist.  To fix the problem choose the song and choose 'Get Info' from the 'File' menu.  Uncheck the 'part of a compilation' box near to bottom of the window.
Unfortunately, you have to do this one song at a time.  You cannot choose a bunch of songs and do this, because the 'part of a compilation' box doesn't appear.
Good luck!

  • IPod plays great but songs don't appear in iTunes

    I originally set up my 4th-gen iPod to synch with iTunes on my PC. Made a brief switch to a Mac laptop running OSX 10.4.11 -- reformatted the iPod, transferred the songs from one iTunes to the other. Alas, that experiment is coming to an end and I decided to reformat to the PC. Weirdly, the iPod absorbed the entire library on my PC -- I thought reformatting the device wiped it clean. But the songs don't show up in iTunes under my player although they do in the library -- that is, I can see the titles, but they're grayed out, I can't select them, and I can't add anything to the iPod from the iTunes library. Just for grins, I plugged the iPod back into my Mac, and the songs are also grayed out. I'm lost in the Twilight Zone. Any suggestions?

    The songs are "greyed out" because you have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is also why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
    If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manage the content manually.
    Please note that by editing/changing the songs on your iPod in this manner, the changes will not affect the songs in iTunes, only on your iPod.

    Thank you, razmee209!  I must have checked everything 1,000,000 times, but when I just rechecked settings - notification - mail, I now see that Alerts -- both Show in Notification Center and Show on Lock Screen -- were turned off.  Can't believe I missed that, so THANK YOU!

  • Songs don't appear under their artist in the 'artists' menu.

    I've updated my Ipod to find that when I go into the 'artists' menu to look for my songs they are not all there, some are missing, even though they all defnitley have artist names attached to them in Itunes. I can get to them through the 'songs' menu and 'album' menu, but they do not appear under their artists.
    e.g
    I added the 'Blink 182' self titled album and the only songs that appear under the artist 'Blink 182' are 'The Fallen Interlude' and 'Asthenia'. The other songs on the album did not appear. However I can access the other songs seperately through the 'songs' menu and also through the 'album' menu.
    But Its really frustrating not being able just to go into 'artists' menu and access all my songs from that artist like I used to be able to do.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks for reading

    Hmmm, your situation is a little different than the bug I know about. Here is the bug I know of...

  • Some images don't appear in iPhone, but do on desktop.

    Can someone download this PDF and let me know why the jpg images appear fine when viewing with desktop browser, but some images in the same document don't appear when viewing in Safari on the iPhone? Vector artwork and text show fine. Shows white space where JPGs should be.
    Specifically, pages 1 and 4:

    I just heard about this day before yesterday at the InDesign Print and ePublishing Conference in Washington, DC. When using display on an iOS device JPEG 2000 is not supported. There are two flavors of JPEG: JPEG & JPEG 2000.
    Here's a Wikipedia article about JPEG 2000:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_2000
    If I go to page 1 and 4 in your PDF and use Output Preview in Acrobat Pro (in Acro 9 > Advanced Print Production > Output Preview). Click on the Object Inspector tab and click on the image. It uses a JPEG 2000 filter.
    Since I don't know how the image was created and saved, I'll leave it to you to resave it as normal JPEG.

  • ITunes Match songs don't appear on other mobile devices

    Hi,
    I uploaded all my music on iTunes Match and there are a couple problems when I tried to play it on my iPhone or iPad.
    First, on my iPhone, some songs won't play even though I downloaded the whole playlist with all the songs on it. I would select the song I would like to play and it won't play that song but instead play a different song even though the title of the song I want to play still appears on the iPhone but the play bar doesn't move or play. The iTunes Match seems to cause this problem since if I turn it off and just copy the songs from my computer directly, it plays perfectly.
    Secondly, when I tried to find an album I uploaded on iTunes Match to download it to my iPad but somehow it's not upthere on the cloud or itunes Match for me to download to my iphone or iPad even though I uploaded it a week ago and showed in my computer as already uploaded.
    Both of these problems seem to steam from iTunes Match but I am not sure what the fixes for these are so if you guys can help, I would really appreciate that.
    Thanks,

    Here is how I fixed it.
    Open the latest version of iTunes.
    Choose Store > Sign In.
    Enter your Apple ID and password, and click Sign In.
    Choose Store > View My Account. You may be asked to re-enter your Apple ID password.
    In the "iTunes in the Cloud" section, click Turn Off Auto-Renew to the right of iTunes Match.
    I canceled it because it is wasting to much of my time and energy. " everything just works on a MAC" haha hardly.

  • Some Mail Folders don't appear on iPhone/iPad

    I have folders in my email account that appeared ok on iPhone 3G, but a few of them don't appear neither on the iPad or on my new iPhone 4 (more files missing on iPad than on iPhone 4).
    Anyone know the reason?

    Assuming the email account is an IMAP account and it must be for this, all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account should be available with each email client used to access the account.

  • Some songs don't sync! iPhone 5 (ios7.0.2), iTunes 11.1.1

    Last week I tried to sync my iphone and iTunes said I had to install the latest version to do so.
    After I installed the 11.1.1, some songs don't sync with the iPhone.
    On the 'on this iPhone' tab on iTunes it shows this same songs with a circle before the name, and they are grey, not black as the ones that are on the iPhone.
    I've tried to find out what's wrong, even wondered if I did something to mess this up, but I can't figure it out. 
    Help? Anyone?
    The 'on this iPhone' list look like this:

    Hello Laura,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to sync your music to your iPhone.
    I recommend trying to resync.  You can resync content to the iPhone by unchecking "Sync Music" and then clicking "Apply" and then checking "Sync Music" and then clicking "Apply" again:

  • Why is it that when I connect my iPod to my car stereo through USB, some of the songs don't appear and play when these songs are on my playlist normally?

    Hello all
    This has been bugging me for a little while. I bought myself a new bluray player awhile back and it has a USB hookup for ipods. This goes the same with my vehicle too. I have a few good playlists with some great songs, however, when i hooked it up to my bluray player, some of the songs didn't appear in the playlist that are not normally there. I disconnected the ipod and had a look on the screen and sure enough the songs are there, but they are just not appearing on the bluray player. This only happens for some songs, not all of them. I was disappointed at this because I really wanted to hear my songs. So I decided to download the WHOLE album off of itunes from which I got the song from and sure enough, this time the song appeared on my bluray player and it played in the playlist.
    Why is this? Is there a way to make it so that I can have all the songs play without downloading all of the albums?

    Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs  will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

  • Apps don't appear on iphone 4

    I have an iphone 4. I have downloaded from the iphone an app. It appears to be downloading properly, until the
    progress bar is complete. Then, the app disappears!
    If I sync with my MacBook the app transfers to itunes - I can see it on iTunes! I can move it to different screens
    in iTunes, it looks great. When I sync to my iphone, it is just not there. There is no error message.
    If I search for it it is not found.
    Also, if I put the app on screen 1 on my iTunes, and there are no other screens, and then sync, it will  create
    screen 2 within iTunes, move the app to screen 2 in iTunes, and then sync. When I look at the iphone,
    there is no screen 2, and the app is not present.
    I have tried resetting, rebooting, synching, deleting and re-downloading, and nothing helps.
    The specific apps are iCSC (Clear Sky Chart) and RedBox.
    I haven't seen this anywhere else!
    Any ideas?

    How can u downgrade. Apple doesn't allow that. Unless your iPhone 5 is jail broken.  iOS 7 isn't even out yet. There Is no way u can get iOS 7 unless it was beta. And if so beta is having some issues.

  • Missing songs under artist but still in songs

    I have uploaded all of my songs and in Itunes all the songs have artists, but they dont show up under that artist name in the ipod. Example in itunes the song is called Charlie and artist is red hot chili peppers but on my Ipod it is not under red hot chili peppers. But if i search for the song under all songs it is still there. Can anyone help?????
    HP   Windows XP  

    They need album names.
    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.
    Providing the spelling for the artists is exactly the same of course.

  • My matched songs in iTunes on my computer show the artists, but some do not show up on my iPad or iPhone?

    My matched songs in iTunes on my computer show all the artists, but most artists do not show up in Music on my iPad or iPhone? I recently fixed the song titles coming back from Match update changed to Track ** by going thru every song's info (command i) and typing in the song title manually (fortunately I had a hard copy of all my song titles and artists and only had about 160 songs to do) and that fixed the problem. Now, both the song titles and artists show in my iTunes, but NOT on my ipad and iphone Music (There are a few that show up). I tried to test my "re-typing artists" into info manually on a few, but it didn't work. I also tried adding "Single" or "None" to the albumn title, but no go. Any suggestions?
