Unable to access Music by Artist or Album

So i got my new iPod video today and the video side of things is kickin ***, however i'm havin problems with accessing music from the iPod. When i select artist or album from the music menu all i get is a list of songs and not the info i asked for.
I've just upgraded from a 20GB 4th gen ipod so i know the songs and song info is fine, i'm guessing there might be a bug in the new iPod software. I have itunes 6.0.2 and the 10th Jan update to 1.1 and still no joy.
Any ideas???
Please, nobody post that i need to adjust my Id3 tags in iTunes, they are all pukka. Artist and album are turned on on the ipod and compilations is turned off.
Regards

same issues. Have you had any luck in getting it sorted?

    Using the 30 pin adapter from mini iPad unable to access music in the car

    30 pin adapte connected to what exactly?
    Also iPads are not normal MP3 players, as such they don't have a regular file system the car media center can read to get music files.
    You may be able to play the music through bluetooth if the car supports it. Or have the iPad send the music, but the Car media center will likely not be able to actually index the files in it.

  • N8 music player "artists and albums" issue

    Hello!
    "artists and albums" in N8 music player mixes albums with same name from different artists
    into one album.
    How to reproduce:
    1) add "Greatest Hits" album from Blondie and "Greatist Hits" from Black Sabbath
    2) refresh library
    3) now there's one album "Greatest Hits" from Black Sabbath that contains songs from both Blondie and Black Sabbath albums.

    if you run your music through windows music player before installing on phone and find album info in it all the music will display correctly well at least the odd 30 or so albums I have on my phone do , with album art in cover flow !
    If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

  • Unable to access music store.

    since the 18/2/12 I have been unable to access the music store from my itunes main page. Downloads are still automatically downloaded and my ipod and iphone both sync fine. The problems start when either I try to manually try entering the store or put in a cd which will eventually import into the library after it tells me that the disc information could not be found online and the gracenote library could not be accessed. Could someone help as I have tried everything I can think of including reinstalling itunes, turning off firewalls (which have been configured to allow itunes through).
    All help and further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    thankyou in anticipation

    Lots of people are having this access problem as a quick read of the forum will reveal.
    Yesterday I reset my router and the problem disappeared. This morning I noticed the problem was back again. Once more I reset my router and once again the music store is accessed normally, but I wonder for how long.
    Another point I noticed was that after the router reset i-tunes would not load at all until my PC was rebooted.
    It's all very curcious and rather odd Apple is not getting to grips with the problem. Is it a time issue, connected with us now being GMT+1???
    Very odd!

  • How to access the "Genre", "Artist", and "Album" Panel via COM/script

    I thought I posted this a couple of days ago, but checking on "My Posts", it appears I didn't. Oooops
    I'm using the COM interface, which is also same as the scripting one.
    I'm trying to discover what elements in the iTunes main window have been selected, and thus "highlighted".
    The main window appears, to the interface, to be the "BrowserWindow", not to be confused with the View -> Show Browser window. Within this main window, I can identify which Playlist is currently selected, and/or which individual tracks are selected.
    But, what I'm trying to do, is also identify if any elements in the View -> Show Browser window are also selected. "Genre", "Artist", and "Album".
    Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how do I achieve it.
    Cheers,
    Eddie

    In case you don't get any replies here, Eddie (your post might get buried under queries about iTunes 7.7), it might also be worth checking in at Teridon's google discussions. Robert's post here has a link through to those:

  • Unable to access Music Store w/ new v.7

    I am unable to get into the Music Store since I've updated to the new versions of Quick Time and iTunes.

    Hey Pat Vandale,
    The diagnostics will show where the connection is failing.
    If your running the built-in Windows firewall this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304082 will show you how to give iTunes access to the Internet.

  • Can I Organize music in Artists and Albums on my MuVo N2

    I can only play music on the "root" of my MP3 player (MuVo N200). Can anyone tell me if organizing i possible?
    I have discovered a menuitem called "Skip Folder". When I go there, A Root folder i shown, but I can not select anything here. Can anyone tell me what this is about?
    Regards Preben

    STOP!
    You can use MuVo N200 Media explorer, and click the button "Sort Different" or something, and than you can sort ALL your tracks on:
    Artist</LI>
    Number on CD</LI>
    Track Name</LI>
    Lenght</LI>
    Even the album name, if i'm not wrong</LI>
    You can install the explorer from your N200 CD-Rom and download it. You'll have to connect your N200 to the computer, offcource :smileyvery-happy:.
    You can sort them with the folders also ofcource, but I think its a lot of work to search for each track the artist, when its written in the info. Than creating folders for EACH artist, and putting them into it... think my Media Explorer works faster.
    PS: The Media explorer will put numbers for your MP3 names, but you won't see them while playing back, they are recognised by your player.

  • Unable to access music on external drive

    I have recently had to re-install Windows on my laptop - due to a virus. I had previously moved all my music to an external drive and successfully changed itunes to access it there - I changed the location folder in Edit/Preferences/Advanced then held down the shift key whilst launching Itunes thereby getting the option to choose a different library location. I now find that this option no longer appears when I launch Itunes with the shift key held down. I'm using Itunes 6.
    Anyone any ideas??
    Fortune laptop   Windows XP  

    I've now resolved the issue having found an article by Christopher Breen - in it he suggested -
    "If you can locate your music files by rummaging around on your hard drive but iTunes seems dead set against showing them, use the Add to Library command in the File menu to find your music and add it again. Before doing so, open the Advanced tab of iTunes' preferences and make sure that the Copy Files to iTunes Music Folder When Adding to Library option is unchecked. With this option unchecked, song titles will be added to iTunes without the songs themselves being copied to the iTunes Music folder."
    I tried this and I got all my albums back even though I lost some of my artwork and all of my playlists.... I can live with that!!

  • Unable to Access Music on iPhone Since 2.0 Update. Anyone Else?

    The update went smoothly, but now when I try to use the iPod app on my iPhone, it tells me that there's no music (or video) available. The music is still there, and can be viewed through iTunes, but I'm unable to listen to them through the phone. Any suggestions?

    I am having the same problem. Nothing is going right since I upgraded. My ringtones do not work, I suddenly receive a notice of a new voicemail and my phone never rings! Also, I will be viewing a website and suddenly the phone turns itself off. Lastly, I plug my phone into my PC today to sync and all of my music is gone from the phone but visible in my iTunes!
    I know it is not just me as I have several co-workers who are experiencing some of the same problems. AT&T says it is Apple, Apple says it is AT&T. I just want the problems fixed!

  • Unable to access music in external drive

    Ex-windows user wants to know: All my music is stored in an external drive. How do I get to add all these into itunes library or play them?

    Open iTunes and drag the folder which contains the music into the open iTunes window; iTunes will then copy the music to the hard disk and add it to the library.

  • When I accessed music on my ipod, all but two albums disappeared.  Said I needed a genius playlist.

    When I accessed music on my ipod, all but two albums disappeared.  Said I needed a genius playlist. I had previously tried
    to download an album with no success.  Hasn't happened in YEARS!  Help! What should I do to retrieve about 100 tunes??

    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.

  • TS1425 My co worker has given me his iPod to take home and transfer his music to my laptop, however, I am unable to access his music to download it to my computer.  How does this work?

    My co-worker has given me his iPod to take home and transfer his music to my laptop, however, I am unable to access his music to download it to my computer.  How does this work?

    You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
    You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
    There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.
