Songs not displaying

I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I have an ipod photo which keeps not displaying any of my songs. When I try to access songs/albums/artists etc it comes up blank. The data has not been wiped off the hard disk as the capacity and the amount of disk space used up corresponds to my iPod library. The problem is easily solved by plugging my iPod in to update. After it has updated any new songs all the others appear on screen as normal however this only lasts for a few uses before the whole process starts again. Has this happened to anyone else? I'd be grateful if anybody could advise me on what the problem is and how I can solve it. Thanks

Ok, so i just bought a 30GB iPod video, and when i put my music on it, everything worked fine. but when i go to certain bands, it skips the "albums" screen and automatically goes to the first album on the list. i know i have the songs, because i did a search on the iPod and the songs are there and they play, but they still don't appear when going from the "artists" screen, to the "albums" screen. what should i do?

All songs not displaying

I am using itunes 7.02 on my PC. My laptop has itunes 6.05. When I do a power search in the music store for example Johnny Mathis on my PC (itunes 7.02) I see only 4 songs. When i searh for Johnny Mathis on my laptop (itunes 6.05) I see many many songs. What can I do for itunes 7.02 so that I can see more songs. Also the billboard does not diaply on itunes 7.02, HELP PLEASE!

See: Some songs don't don't show under artist on my iPod.
From what I understand (thanks to forum member PT for this), 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.

My list of songs not displaying

When I bring up itunes it not listing my purchased songs. With this new itunes software apple changed the format and I can't seem to figure it out. I know it has to be easy but I'm at a loss. Thanks for your help.

With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. When the iPad is plugged in it should then appear on that left-hand sidebar under 'Devices' so that you can select it, and then use the tabs on the right-hand side of the screen to select what to sync to it.

Under the music tab... songs not displaying correctly

so i just got a new 60 gb ipod video... got home loaded the necessary software and loaded the songs to the ipod. videos, pictures, and songs are all diplaying. with one small problem. when you go into the music tab, instead of seperating it into the selected catagories (i.e. artist, albums, and songs) it is just showing the titles of the songs in all catagories. i've reset it, restored factory defaults, cleared my entire music library out of itunes, then pulled it back in and nothing seems to be working. can someone please help me?????

i'm talking about the ipod.
this is what i'm getting
under the music heading on the ipod there are 8 catagories:
1 playlists
2 artists
3 albums
4 songs
5 pocasts
6 genres
7 composers
8 audiobooks
all of them are showing the songs correctly except 2 and 3.
2 and 3 are showing the song titles like it does in 4.
i can't get it to seperate all the songs by artists or albums.
does that make any more sense???

Playlists, songs not displaying on nano

I am unable to see any new playlist or song in my iPod nano.
I just purchased a 4GB black nano, installed iTunes 5.01.
To try it out, I purchased 1 album and 3 individual songs. iTunes created a playlist called "Purchased". All songs were downloaded and put into this playlist.
I have tried both option setting to auto and manual updates. I can see my iPod and everything as it should be from iTunes but when I browse the iPod nothing shows up.
I have restored factory settings and tried again.. Still nothing shows up despite I can see it in iTunes.

Hah! I figured it out. I had a virtual drive mapped to d: (from the subst command in my startup). I removed the mapped drive and all was well.
I had a hint that this was the problem from another thread.
I wish it could have at least given me an error message that would have given me a clue..
Anyhow, problem solved and everything is working great!

After upgrading to Lion and iTunes 10.4, cover flow not displaying song playing. Why not?

Since upgrading to Lion and iTunes 10.4, cover flow is not displaying the currently playing song. It will simply display the first cover in the playlist. Also, the screen saver starts during playback, unlike Snow Leopard. Any ideas on how to fix? I have already repaired disk and permissions but problem persists.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
I tried restarting my mac and my iphone a bunch of times, reinstalling iTunes after deleting dozens of files, and it didn't help at all.
I re-installed X-Code (had to use Activity Monitor to kill iTunes Helper in the middle of the install) and then my iPhone synced again!

All Songs on Ipod Not Displaying

a few days ago when connecting my ipod to my pc i got the error that the database is "corrupt." so i tried to reset it but nothing happens. The problem that i'm having is that the data is all there on the Ipod, when i go to the "About" section on the Ipod the Available is 5.7 Mb out of 3.7 GB. however when i go to the music library on the ipod there are no songs at all.
I've tried resetting, uninstalling and re-installing itunes and the ipod on windows, using the updater and selecting the drive through admin tools to reformat it. but i can't even get the ipod to show up on the PC now. it only shows up as a Generic USB Mass Storage Device.
Another thing is that whenever i do connect it and then disconnect it from the computer the Ipod resets and you have to select the language again. I tried to "restore" it but nothing ever happens (the computer just sits there displaying "Initiallizing" for 20minute but no results.
Anyone got any ideas how i could install the ipod on the pc and then be able to reformat it?

Sorry, but I'm not following your arithmetic here.
You say you have 3262 songs in iTunes, so your iPod should reflect that. However your iPod shows 4300 songs, so that would be a discrepancy of 1038 songs not 1200.
Have you tried restoring the iPod? This will erase the iPods contents and allow you to start afresh and reload the 3262 songs from itunes.

IPod playlists do not display new songs added alphabetically

I find that if I add new songs to my iTunes and then add them to an existing playlist in my iPod, the new songs are displayed alphabetically by artist in iTunes (the way I prefer it), but when I disconnect the iPod and explore the playlist on the iPod the new songs have been added at the end of the listed songs in the playlist - not alphabetically... this is driving me crazy. To play a new song I then have to scroll not to the artist where he/she is listed alphabetically in the playlist, but all the way to the end, where a random collection of songs have by now accumulated. (I know most people create their playlists to play songs in a specific order, not by artist, but I have my iPod permanently on shuffle, so I prefer being able to find a song/artist easily)
The only solution I have found is to restore the iPod to factory settings, deleting everything in the process, and then adding all the content to the iPod from scratch, after which both the old and the new songs are listed alphabetically by artist. This is just way too cumbersome - I'm sure there is probably a very simple setting somewhere ("sort playlist by artist"?), I just can't find it. I have tried sorting the playlist by artist on the iPod itself while connected to iTunes and then syncing - no use.
I have read the iPod nano user guide, but found no help...

Thanks for the link - it didn't help for my specific problem, but I learned some other useful things! After I read it I tried everything I had tried previously, and this time it actually worked. This is probably a part of the Great Continued Computer Mystery... why something functions one day and doesn't the next.

HT4623 I updated to the latest iOS and now YouTube and the Ap store are no longer on my phone. Also, not all my music will play and if I play a song it will actually play a different song while displaying the one I chose. Any ideas how to fix this?

You have to download the individual youtube app now. It is no longer a nataive ios app from apple in ios6

Songs are not displayed in my ZEN when they have no Album T

Hi,
i got the new Creative ZEN 4GB and a question:
I got some Songs which have no Album Tag. These Songs are not displayed in my Player. I have to go in the Folder of the Artist and then into Options and choose "View Tracks", then it is displayed, otherwise the list is empty.
Is this normal?
Most of the Songs are Single Tracks which dont belong to any Album. Do I have to add an "Unkwown" Tag to each of them to show up?
P.S. I think this browsing by Tags really sucks at all. Why cant I sort my files by the simple filename like I do it on my PC?! They should add this option.
Thanks.Message Edited by omgodlike on 0-0-2007: AM

I have the ZenV Plus, 2 gb and it lists the songs by Artist, by Album, by Genre and then it has a complete alphabetical list of the songs by title (All tracks). Don't you have this option uner your "Music Library"

Ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song

ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song... i cant see the the volume display to adjust it eiether. Everyting shows up in the menus just not on the now playing screen.... any suggestions?

Try restoring your iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

My Ipad will not display song lyrics

I upgraded to ios 5 and it will not display song lyrics for songs that I put lyrics in for.
any ideas?

I tried Lyrics View but it didn't work well for me. It listed music by song title, there was no way to change that to list by artist or album, and it was difficult to select a song to listen to; often a different one would play than the one highlighted.
Pauser Pro works better but it's still frustrating. I do enjoy being able to see lyrics again, but music is listed alphabetically by song title rather than by artist or album, and there is no preference panel which lets you change that by default. If you want to hear all the songs on a specific album and you select the artist, you get an alphabetized list of his or her songs with a blue cross to the left of each. Clicking All Songs places them on a list, which you can then click on to play a specific song. But you have to put the songs in that list first, and I was unable to make separate lists for each artist; attempts to do so led to them all being placed at the end of the first list.
I was finally able to make up a Playlist using a specific genre on iTunes on my computer, transfer it to my iPad, and then access it through Pauser Pro, but the artists were again mostly mixed up and it took a very long time to rearrange them by artist so I could select one and hear all the songs by one person or group. Of course, after that it continues to the next artist on the list, but at least I don't have to keep fiddling with it while I'm busy doing something else and just trying to enjoy some music.
I contacted the developer about these issues and essentially was told that the app was primarily developed for professionals performing on a stage and that it worked well for that purpose. I'm still not clear on how to create discrete lists in one wished to do that, though.

ITunes will not display ringtone eligible songs

My iTunes music folder has suddnely decided to not display which songs that can be converted to ringtones. I have clicked on the bell icon and restarted iTunes and rebooted my machine but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

Mine also no longer displays the bell icon. I go to iTunes, see if the song in the Store has a bell, and then make a ringtone, or just go and click create ringtone from the menu, and if it lets me, I know I can, and if it doesn't, I know I can't. A hassle, but I've tried everything to get those bells back and I have yet to find a way.

Slideshow preset does not display iTunes songs

Macbook pro with OS X Yosemite Version 10.10
Aperture 3.5.1
slideshow preset does not display list of itunes songs for music to accompany slide show (it did use to do this perfectly satisfactorily). Clicking to open itunes does not help.
Itunes 12.0.0.140

Graham, the songs that are only in iCloud will show with a cloud icon with a download link. Click this link to download the song to your mac. It will stay in iCloud as well. But the local copy should show in iPhoto. In the example below, the song "Crying in the Rain" does show in iPhoto, because it has been downloaded, but the other songs do not.

Song Metadata Not displayed on MW600 bluetooth headset, any way of fixing this?

I have a ipod touch 4g on 4.3.3 and i have a sony ericsson MW600 hifi bluetooth headset, I know that the ipod touch 4g has AVRCP profile but when i pair the two together, the song playing is not displayed on the headset, why is that?
if i pair it with the sony ericsson w995, song title is displayed correctly ??
is it something to do with the hardware or is it not yet implemented in the IOS??
Thanks

Hi, don't think it's possible to do what you want, however do you really need sat nav for the whole journey ? It's no solution, and I have used many sat nav systems (I work in the motor trade) and Nokia Maps is pretty good. However once the 'Novelty' wears off, do you really need sat nav for the whole journey, unless you're a delivery driver on an unfamiliar route, most people don't really need sat nav till the last couple of miles, if you're on a long journey, it will nearly always involve a long drive on a major highway, where there is no need for directions. I normally use sat nav for the last couple of miles to find a specific address, or maybe just before an unfamiliar city, I know this isn't answering your question, but you rarely need sat nav for the 'whole' journey !
Good Luck
