Updated now music showing as "other"!

Hi,
Ive just updated to 4.2.1 and itunes put my files back on, and now i have no music when syncing, it just shows 8.5GB of "Other" in intunes.
Ive tried re-syncing and so forth but nothing will get rid of the 8.5GB.. any help would be much appreciated.
Im using vista and its a Iphone 4, non jailbroken or anything, totally standard.

Hello, ACPalmer. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
This could be related to too much music being synced to your iPhone.  I would verify that the amount of music being syncing is not putting your device over capacity.  You can also try syncing portions of your music library at a time to see if that corrects the issue. 
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync

  • IOS5 update now music "missing" on iPhone

    Since updating to iOS5 i have noticed that it has changed some of the Artists names on my iPhone 4. iTunes is still "correct". Everything is done on auto sync.
    For example on iTunes if an artist has another artist featuring on the track I will amend the track title to say Song X Featuring Artist X and the Artist stays as the main artist only. Now all songs featuring a second artist appear in a separate list - Dr Dre Featuring Eminem or Snoop Dogg is now as 3 artists not 1 (Dr. Dre)...
    Some other examples of music that has moved:
    At The Drive In
    At The Drive-In
    Appears as two separate artists because of the - which is present in itunes for all At The Drive-In songs. Same issue with Blink-182. Another issue: Under artist Justin Timberlake has the "Justified" Album under his name but "Future/Sex/Love/Sounds" is not there. I can only find it under Composers. It has done similar things for Compliations aswell. When this thing happend on my iPod Classic i could manually edit the Artist name on iTunes to make them appear under 1 artist and remove compliations from the search as some artists went missing.
    Also some album artwork has gone from my iPhone when it is on iTunes and was on my iPhone prior to the i0S5 update.
    Anyone know how to get the artist names to change and all albums appear under artist on my iPhone when iTunes is "correct"?

    I have fixed the issue. It does take a little work.
    On your itunes view right click and add the album artist list. iOS5 uses the "Album Artist" instead of the "Artist" to sort which is a little odd. If Album Artist is not complete it falls back on Artist. Just ensure that Album Artist is the same as the Artist.
    E.g. Blink 182 was coming up as Blink-182 or Blink 182 on different songs. I just made the Album Artist field consistent across all songs. If the song has someone featuring on it i would add this to the song title not the Artist or Album Artist. That solved that part.
    Re. Compilations if you go to ipod on your iphone if you click more you can see all your compliations. I don't use this feature i just look under Artist. Therefore i selected every song on my itunes "Get Info" and this and only this tick the part of compliation box and ensure it says NO. The Complations field will be empty for every single song in itunes.
    If you wanted to use Complations on things like "Now thats what i call music" or whatever you can go into the song on Get Info and select it as part of compliation.

  • ITunes 7.0 Update - now music does not play

    After updating to the latest iTunes, music does not play. I see old posts about this with versions 5 and 6, but now I have it with 7. I've tried uninstalling both QT and iTunes and reinstalling - same problem exists. When a music file is selected for play, the scrolling diamond never advances. I've dragged the diamond to the middle of the file; it still just stays stuck. I've tried deauthorizing and reauthorizing: same problem remains. I;ve checked that the exe is not set for "mixed-mode" (an Apple article), but it isn't in that mode. All files are findable through iTunes and they will download to the iPod through iTunes. Windows XP Pro is completely up-to-date through Microsoft Update (it already was before the upgrade - on auto-update - but I double checked to be sure). An audio CD has the same behavior: the tracks are read and displayed, but they will not play. The CD spins up for about a minute and then stops. The same CD plays fine in Windows Media Player.
    Does anyone have a clue on this one? I see these old articles about the same problem in previous versions, but there are no fixes or suggestions, other than what I've already tried above.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    I decided to revert to iTunes 6.0.5, which I found on the Apple site. Uninstalled 7.0.0 and installed 6.0.5. It wouldn't start, complaining that itunes library.itl was created by a newer version of iTunes - great! Well, it turns out there is a backup of the old library file in the iTunes directory. I replaced the one created by 7.0.0 with that older file. The music is again playing!!! We're back to where we were before the 7.0.0 update, so that's some relief, but we're currently at a deadend on the update cycle. Not sure where to go from here, except nowhere.

  • Updates are not showing in other websites

    I have kept my firefox updated automatically. When looking at the info about firefox, it says I am running 16.0.2 HOwever, there are many websites that do not let me view video or audio streams or other items because it says I am running firefox 3, an older version. This computer is not even a year old, and I put firefox on when I got it. How can sites possibly say my browser is running an older version? I have tried redownloading the application and replaced it with what I had. One of the websites that this keeps happening is google. When I open google drive, it says my firefox version is running 3.0.
    I am a mac user...OS X 10.7.4

    hello aslaven, your useragent (the information the browser sends to websites to identify its version) - apparently mistakenly - shows you're on firefox version 3.6. probably some sort of toolbar or adware has overwritten it. please refer to this article in order to reset the user-agent settings in firefox: [[Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version]]

    Hi Craig
    Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
    You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps

  • All iPhone music suddenly shows as "other" - can't sync now as no room left

    hi all,
    i put my iPhone in its official apple combination iPhone & apple bluetooth headset dock to sync it. for some unknown god-forsaken reason, it then gave the warning that this is not a device designed to connect to the iPhone specifically, and asked if i wanted to go into airplane mode (??? - this has never happened before, and this is the official dock from apple for the iPhone and bluetooth headset). i clicked "no" (if there had a "HELLS NO!" i would've clicked that). this was syncing to a black macbook core 2 duo with leopard on it. now, after syncing, all my wonderful music and videos that were on the drive of my 8 GB iPhone now show as some unknown "other" and i can't access any of it — none of my songs, videos artists or playlists are showing as anything but blank, but the iPhone's 8 GB's are filled up completely with this "other" in the graph in iTunes of what is on my iPhone. i've tried re-syncing and haven't gotten the same error — it syncs all my contacts, calendars and mail ok, and i've gotten a couple of my podcasts on, but all my other music and video won't sync now as it shows this "other" is taking up the whole drive. who do i report this to? how do i fix it? please advise.

    I just got through fixing this ordeal
    my iPhone's music and videos displayed in iTunes as orange other instead of purple and blue for videos and music respectively
    here is what you've got to do
    1. sync the phone once before you start
    2. make sure you sync contacts, bookmarks, mail and calendar with some source (everything under info tab)
    3. click the restore button in iTunes on the iPhone's page
    4. confirm all messages, this takes forever so just wait
    5. the iphone will restart and iTunes will say what do you want to do with this new iphone
    6. tell it restore to setting of your iPhone's name
    7. this takes even longer than step 3 and 4
    8. when it restores, the iPhone will turn off and back on and the bar will show that there is no data on it except for a few orange "other" files (the ones that are supposed to be there)
    9. go through each of the tabs on the top of the iphone page and make sure music, videos, podcasts, pictures is selected to sync the way you want it and sync it
    10. this will take forever more than step 7, it took me 40 minutes, but I have USB 1.0 so everything on this will probably be shorter for new (or just not old as dirt) computers
    11. this should fix the problem, it didn't for me, when i went to iPod on the iPhone it suggested buying music from iTunes because I had none i just synced the phone one more time and all of the music appeared when i opened iPod (this takes as long as a regular ole sync)
    there you have it your iPhone is good as new (except it didn't fix my broken screen:( )
    i have heard that this problem is because of some glitch between iPhone 1.1.4 and Windows XP, but IDK
    earlier today i was messing with the manually manage my music and videos option maybe this somehow triggered it, thats the only thing i can think of

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

    Unless you or your 'computer guy' made a backup of the iTunes data files (music files) they are now gone. As Dave said, purchased songs can be redownloaded, ripped ones will need a re-rip.

  • We have windows xp and my dad and I have seperate usernames on the computer each with itunes, however we shared an itunes id. Now with the new itunes each other's icloud music shows up in each of our librarys. Is there a way to not have icloud music show?

    Basically I don't want the icloud to show up in my library or a viewing option that lets me hide it. Everything I've tried just simply gets rid of the little cloud icon in the library. I don't want to delete the songs from icloud just so that when I'm viewing my library only the songs on the computer show.
    This has been an annoying problem because like I said on my each of our seperate librarys eachothers music shows up from the icloud and we have different tastes and I don't want his stuff intermixed and playing with mine when I'm in my library.

    Turn it off.
