Storing music on my iPhone by album name

All of my iTunes albums are stored alphabetically on my mac but are by album title on my iPhone 4s. How can I get them both to look the same?

Thank you for your reply. I think I was being a bit thick. Your reply made me realise that if I click the Artist tab it should give me what I want. The trouble was it was showing me more albums than I had in itunes. I've gone back to itunes and made sure all of the album artist names have been filled in and it now looks ok on my iphone. Thanks for your help

    How can I use stored music on my iphone 6 as a ringtone?

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
    The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
    Iphone will sycn with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.

  • Loading music on to iPhone by album?

    Hi All,
    Is there a way to change the settings in itunes to upload music by album name to your iPhone, instead of just playlist,artist & genre.
    Thanks

    Sorry it was not 100% clear. When loading music to my iphone currently it will only let me load all my music or select a genre eg artist,playlist etc. But i want to be able to load by album name. As some albums are compellations so currently i would have to select each person individually. As i don't want to load all my music onto my phone.
    My ipod touch has the function i want, but is not the same on my iphone.
    Thanks

  • How I can sort music files (audiobook) in music player on iPhone by file name, not by title name?

    I have audiobook of abt.500 files, all titles are the name of the book. iPhone music player does not understand sorting by file names, but by title, hterfore it plays files chaotic. So, how I can sort audiobook files in music player by file name, not by title name?

    I have the same problem.
    I've went through the pains of merging all chapters into one big file for each and every audiobook, so that at least the chapters don't get played in random order. Month and month of work….. In iTunes 12.01. I can now order my audiobooks by title or by author.
    But once they're uploaded to my blo*dy expensive iPhone 6Plus 128 (which I bought especially to have all my music and my audiobooks on one device) my audiobooks are NOT sorted by author, but by Title.
    So, let's say I have 15 books by Ken Follet, they don't appear as Ken Follet > Title of the book but they are sorted alphabetically with all the other titles of other authors.
    iPods where originally designed for music and audiobooks, but each and every version of iOS makes handling your music and especially your audiobooks harder and harder….
    I am very disappointed and after so many years of using apple, I am considering to move on to android devices.

  • My music is on a nas loaded by Windows Media Player in WAV. When I import into Itunes only the songs appear no album name etc.

    My music is on a nas. Loaded using windows media player in WAV.
    When I import into Itunes only the record apears, no Album name etc
    How can can I see all the details

    Information is often stored as tags embedded in the file.  WAV does not support tagging. I don't know how WMP works but iTunes keeps its own database about media.  For many audio formats, track information will be stored both in iTunes' database and in the file itself as tags.  With formats such as mp3 most tags (not all) will 'travel' with the file when copied.  This does not happen with WAV where the information is only stored in the player application's database.

  • How do I get the itunes stored files on my computer to store by album name not by artist?

    How can I get itunes to store my computer music files by album name not by artist? It's a pain retreving a stored album from my external drive.

    Are you sure to have the full length file in the library? If you start playing it, will it show the full runtime on the controls?

  • When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs?

    When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs?  When I view the music stored on my iMac, I get a choice to view by Songs, Artists, Albums, Composers, etc.  But I don't get any choice with the music on my iPhone.
    Its really hard to manage the music on my iPhone.  I want to quickly remove albums and add new ones.
    Is there a solution that I haven't seen?

    Create a playlist, add/delete albums and sync this playlist.
    You don't need to manually manage the iPhone music to do this.

  • For some artists in my Music app on my I-phone, the songs do not appear when I search by the artist.  However, if I search the album name, all the songs show.  How do I get the songs to show under songs?

    Hi Spam_Valley,
    I understand that you are having issues with your music displaying correctly. This may be an issues with the metadata stored within that song, and iTunes interpretation of that info.
    We may need to repair this. See the following resources for information:

  • Is there any way to group "artists" section on iPhone by Artist name, NOT album artist?

    I add music to my iphone 5s manually, by playlists. sometimes I add music manually by dragging it to my iPhone. When I go to Music and then Artists, a lot of the names are not alphabetical because they are sorted by "Album artist". Is there a way to change it to just "Artist" so it will sort it according to JUST artist name?

    Nobody?

  • How do i get an artist's music to appear under his/her artist name if it only appears under the album name?

    I recently imported the album Hall of Fame by Big Sean into my iTunes. I have the music in my iPhone. When i go to search for Big Sean in my phone under the "artist" section, his name comes up, but the Hall of Fame album is not one of the albums listed. However, if I search for Hall of Fame under the "album" section, it appears. I've tried everything to make the album appear under his name on the "artist" section, but it won't. Help would be greatly appreciated!

    Check the "get info" screen of the album, and other Big Sean content.  It's the .... meta data (for lack of the correct term) provided with the content.  You may need to edit the data so that the content filters like you want.

  • So I keep trying to sync music to my iPhone from iTunes, and whenever I select the album the sync goes by really fast and nothing goes onto my phone. Then when I click "On this iPhone" it shows the songs, but they're grey, and I can't click on them. Help?

    Ok, sorry. And yes, I just restored my iPhone as new and tried to put all the songs on there before I even restored with my previous backup, but it still does the same thing... even when I just checked the option to sync only "selected music or videos". How's that possible?
    P.S. After I tried syncing with checked songs only, nothing showed up under Music on my phone and this message popped up in iTunes: "The iPhone "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish." If you could, please tell me what that means, thanks.

  • Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.

    Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.  It gets weirder:
    When looking at the empty screen with the name of my former playlist on top,  if I tap the edit button on the phone, tap the + button to add a 'song' to the playlist, and then tap 'Done' without adding anything, I can see all my videos in the playlist with the red minus symbol next to each of them. But as soon as I tap 'Done' again they all disappear!
    I saw on another forum that someone has had the same problem but fixed it by, and I quote
    "If you go to Get Info and change the Media Kind from Movie to Music Video under the Options tab, they all now appear in the playlists!"
    I'm happy this worked for him, but when I tap "File" in itunes, the "Get info" field is greyed out, so I can't test the solution proposed.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    You can change the primary email address on an account by logging into it via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it.
    You won't be able to change it to an email address that is being used an alternate or rescue email address on the account (they can be viewed/changed/removed via http://appleid.apple.com), nor to one that is currently being used as the primary email address on an account
