Songs not showing up under artist, only under genre

I have songs in itunes and the title, artist, and genre are all filled out. When I try to access them on my ipod, it won't show up under the artist name, only under genre. What do I need to do to fix this?

Check on your iPod if you are letting Artist be displayed.
Settings > Main Menu > Artists=On

  • Songs not showing up in Artists section

    A few artists of mine will not show up in the Artists section of the iPod, but their albums will show up in the Albums section. When I play the album, the artist is displayed correctly on the Now Playing screen. How can I correct this so that the songs are visible in both the Artists and the Albums sections?

    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. 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 in place of a title.

  • I have an app that does not show up on the left under iTunes.  How do I delete it?

    I have an app that does not show up on the left under iTunes.  How do I delete it from my Iphone 5?

    If the icon exists on your screen, just do a long press on that icon and when the small X appears on top of the app, press it and it will delete it.  As long as this is not an Apple app, since those cannot be deleted.

  • I've been recieving text messages on my Iphone 4s, but the phone number is not showing up on my bill under the message logs.  Anyone know why??

    I've been receiving text messages on my phone, but for some reason the phone number is not showing up on my bill under the message log.  Does anyone know why?

        donnagman,
    Thanks for the details. All numbers should show up in the message history log, unless you are communicating via iMessage. When texting the numbers that are missing in the message log are you using your normal messaging app on the device or a downloaded app? Have the numbers that are missing been shown in your message log before?

  • Certain songs not showing up

    Hey guys. There are certain songs for the same artist that are not showing up on my iPod when I scroll under "Artists." They are on the iPod in general, but does anyone know why they aren't showing up? For example, I have 6 Tom Petty songs, all of them which are labeled as "Tom Petty," but when I scroll through Tom Petty under Artists, only one of the six songs shows up. The other five I have to find by scrolling under "Songs." Help!

    It's a bug/oddity.

  • Songs not showing up in iPod. Please help!

    Okay, today I noticed that there are select songs not showing up on my iPod touch.
    I make playlists for all my music...and some songs will be in the playlists, and some aren't.
    So when I search for the songs with artists or song name, it's actually ON my iPod and I can play it. Just not in the playlist I put it in.
    So I check on iTunes to make sure they are in the playlist, and they are. And playable.
    So why aren't some of the songs selectable in the playlists? They are on the iPod, but just not in the playlists. PLEASE HELP

    Anyone?

  • My icloud songs not showing up in my itunes window even though itunes match is turned on

    my icloud songs not showing up in my itunes window even though itunes match is turned on

    I Am having a similar issue with my husbands iTunes match. I restored a 2011 iMac and decided to download all my husbands music via iTunes match.  Apart from taking ages, he only has 2,500 songs on the match, it greyed out lots of songs, which later I found out said that they were 'waiting' also, loads are missing. I tried following someone else's thread and tried to delete the greyed out ones so I can download again but I fear I may have completely deleted them. Also, I have a lot of duplicates, both on iCloud and both downloaded! What's happening? My iTunes appear to be behaving ok!

  • Several artists are not showing in the artist list on the Ipod.

    Ok. As the title implies on my Ipod there are several artists that are not showing in the artist list. However, in Itunes an artist is clearly defined. I even changed the artist name and still had no outcome. The album is there....but I have to sort through the artist list in order to listen to the music. Can someone help me figure this one out?

    The "missing" artists probably have their albums tagged as "Part of a Compilation" and you have the Compilation setting turned ON on your iPod. Either turn Compilations off (go to +Settings/Main Menu+ and +Settings/Music Menu+ and disable Compilation on both menus), or edit the tags to remove the Compilation option. Compilations are intended to be used for multi-artist albums, but often you'll get an album from a single artist tagged as a Compilation since the Gracenote database has an error in it.
