Turned "Sort by Album Artist" off on iPod Touch 5th Gen so individual artists on compilation albums will show up separately under "Artists" with no succuss. This worked perfectly on my Ipod Touch 4th Gen. Any Advice?

I have a 5th Gen iPod Touch. It is running the latest iOS, and iTunes has the latest update. I have many compilation albums that I imported from CD. I want the individual artists and their associated song(s) to show up under "Artists." I have turned off "Sort by Album Artist" in Settings. This worked perfectly on my 4th Gen Touch. Each artist from a compilation would show up under "Artists" with the correct song(s) showing, while still showing the whole compilation under "Albums." Now, on my 5th Gen Touch, when I try to look at an artist from a compilation under "Artists," I get one of the following: the correct artist and song, an incorrect artist and song, or an incorrect artist with the entire compilation album showing up. Is this a bug in the new iOS 7, or am I doing something wrong? Anyone else with this problem? Any advice?

I have the same problem and I have been really trying hard to find a solution. No success.
My main problem is this: For example: Top Gun soundtrack - I look at Kenny Loggins under artists and I see his albums and songs, plus the 2 songs from top gun. Then when I look at Miami Sound Machine (also on top gun cd) under artist, I see correct albums from Miami sound machine, but under the top gun soundtrack, it shows the 2 kenny loggins songs instead. then if I look at another artist from top gun cd, it continues to show the kenny loggins songs. It doesn't matter which songs i look at, but the first one i start with will always show up on the others. Funny thing is, if I click on the song, the correct song plays, it just says it is the kenny loggins song!!! ha ha. Been dealing with this for over a year now. Pretty aggravating. Happens whether I have compilations checked or unchecked on settings. I have over 50 compilation albums and some are checked, some aren't...they all behave this way.
On Mac, itunes (v 12) it all shows up correctly and works fine. I have become an expert on ID tags and am very thorough with my tagging. HAND TAGGING, not some program that does it for you...they are never correct. I match all my tag info with the info in the iTunes store for each album so it is sure to match. Has taken a long, long, long time.
Love iTunes match, but this one issue is a real pain. Anyone with any ideas, I'd love to hear them! Thanks!

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
BTW, are you really still using Windows 2000?

Does this only happen with the tracks you have downloaded from the iTunes Store? Perhaps you should work the suggestions in this Apple support document first.

Downloaded games from suppliers to iPad - these are now downlighting to iTunes on my m/s computer and taking hours and hours to do so. If I delete them from iTunes will this affect the games now on my iPad? Any advice would be appreciated.

Games downloaded direct to iPad. They are now auto downloading to iTunes on M/s PC and taking hours to do so. If I delete those partially downloaded to PC will it affect those on iPad when I next sync iPad with PC?
Any advice appreciated - thanks.

To start things off, I like to manually manage my media and will insturct you to do the same. To enable doing this, you check off the box for it on your phone's summary on iTunes. Now tranferring media is as easy as dragging and dropping.
(1) To get songs from your phone onto your iTunes, you open up your phone's dropdown menu on the iTunes sidebar and click Music. You can be able to drag music file into your Music folder in the Library section of iTunes. You can also just right click your phone's name and click "Transfer Purchases" if you want to move everything new on your iPhone onto your computer's library.
(2) You open your Music library on your computer and simply drag highlighted songs onto your phone's name on the sidebar. When in album grid view or cover flow, you can click and drag a whole album right on. The downside of manual management is that you can easily accidentally add doubles of songs onto your phone. Of course, if you notice this on your phone, you can just swipe to the right across the song's name and you should have a nice little delete button so you can remove extras anywhere.
(3) I heard about this online and it actually is buried in the Terms and Conditions somewhere. I don't think this rule will apply if you are exchanging the music over your iTunes account devices. I think this applies to buring the iTunes material to CDs. I think these speacial media file can somehow detect what they are moved or copied onto and keep a statistic buried in their coding. This is more of a logical assumption than a fact, but what else could these terms possibly mean? If you want to know more about this, Bruce Willis was having a big arguement about this online because he wanted to give his medie to his children. You can probably find an article about this using those search terms.
I worked hard on this response and would appreciate if you marked it correct if it served as any help to you. Thank you in advance.

I use an iPod nano 5th generation. I have had it for 2 years now and then after about a year when I plugged in my iPod to my computer, the iPod is read but the tab where I would always go that showed my list of artists to sync to my iPod does not show up

I use an iPod nano 5th generation. I have had it for about two years now and after about one year, I plugged in my iPod into my computer to sync more music. Here is the problem: The tab where you go to sync music to your iPod and shows the list of artists and songs you want to sync to the iPod, the tab I can get to but the list of songs and artists does not show up and the only way I can sync music to my iPod is to basically wipe my iPod and start from scratch. Obviously, I do not want to do that because I do not have all the songs in my library that I have on my iPod. I have uninstalled iTunes and then re-installed it, but it did not work and I do not know what else to do. I would really appreciate helpful guidance to get it fixed if it can be fixed. Thanks in advance

In the iPod touch 5th generation can I put a wifi card like Vodafone wifi cards I put a wifi card in my iPad 3G and it works what about ipod ?

Wi-fi card?
The ipod has wi-fi bult in.
Why would you need a wi-fi card?
It sounds like you are talking about a SIM card, which has nothing at all to do with wi-fi. It is for cellular service from a wireless phone provider. If this is what you mean, then no. Ipods are not cell phones and cannot access cellular data.

I had to put my ipod back to factory settings, It crashed and now is saying to connect to itunes but when I do this it wont detect my ipod? How do I fix this?

I really need to get this fixed

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Still shows deleted files; also, not showing new listings under "artists".

I deleted some lectures from my ipod, and deleted the playlist that contained them, but when I sync my ipod, the deleted playlist shows, containing one of the 70 files that it used to contain.
2nd problem...I added a bunch of music from some cd's, they synced ok, showing the artist, the album, etc. However, when I look for the artist on my ipod, it doesn't show.
Any idea what the problem is and how to fix it?

*I added a bunch of music from some cd's, they synced ok, showing the artist, the album, etc. However, when I look for the artist on my ipod, it doesn't show.*
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 (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are incorrectly 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. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.

Compilations are shown in Compilatios and under Artist

I have some compilations in my itunes with alot of different atrists. Al files are flaged as compilation. In the settings i flaged also Group compilations when browsing but al titles are now under compilations and also under Artists. After updating my ipod the folder Compilations is missing on the ipod.

I have the same problem, and I find it very, very annoying. I'm big on Library management, so this is a real problem for me.

When I share video to my macbook it cuts off opening titles and starts vid a few seconds in. I have tried making titles part of timeline, not appending them, but it does the same either way. Any advice on how to get it to include opening titles?

I'm having trouble getting FCPX to share my entire video, it cuts off the opening titles and starts a few seconds in when I share to my MacBook. It's my first vid so I've done a few daft things like editing the audio after I put the visual together, so had to detach it and re-attach it. Is this the possible root of my problems?

Hi Tom
Version 10.0.5 FCPX. Can't send screenshot at present. However on all three versions of the video I have in Projects there is a shaded area on the left at the start. Shaded from top to bottom over the credits and sometimes over the first two or three seconds, this extends to the left and fills the project box before the 00.00 counter and the timeline starts. This only appears when I expand the timeline so I can see the clips I've attached. It's not visible if I just have the timeline and no clips or audio showing. I think it corresponds to the part the export is cutting off. I'm self-taught from tutorials and handbook and it's all new to me, no editing experience prior to the last two weeks.
Couldn't upload to Youtube at all, though it did go to Facebook, but with two audio tracks playing, so export is proving a bit tricky. Also after attempting to share two different versions of the vid an icon has now appeared beside it's name in my Projects next to these two versions showing an audio sign and triangle with exclamation mark. Another version of the vid has the same icon and freezes the computer when I try to open it and is just a black space where the timeline should be. I can't even Move To Trash. I think there may be an audio problem: the main timeline footage should have had audio but was silent, probably a mistake made when it was shot. So I synched audio. However, I think there is audio on the main footage but just unavailable to me. Could be this is messing it up? I'm clearly doing something wrong! Also as mentioned, edited the audio after I'd synched it, so had to detach the synched audio and re-attach an edited version. Could be I went wrong there. I just highlighted, deleted and attached the new audio.
Might download an unexpanded version and see if anything's different. Failing that may go back to scratch, synch edited audio and try again and just not put on start credits. However, could it just be a bug in the software? Would re-installing help?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks.
