Where are my artists?

My ipod is synced, artist info if filled in, and compilations is checked off.

i think I've tried unsyncing. I checked/unchecked the box under options that says "Manually manage music and videos..."
and that ended up clearing all of my music.  I tried "restore from backup" which didn't turn out to be so faithful . (I did back up my music before everything was cleared).  Right now, I'm re-entering all of the correct artist info but before this incident, most artists did show up correctly under the artist tab.  It was just a select few obnoxious tracks that wouldn't show up.
Ever since I updated my ipod a few months ago, I have been having this issue.  At that time, my music was also erased and in the process of fixing it back to what it was before, I noticed this artist problem.

  • Where are the audio files located?

    You know how when your video source is missing, it shows that ! with a yellow triangle around it? Then, when you hover over the !, it shows you where iMovie expected to find the video, and then you can just move the video there and it's fixed. But for audio, it doesn't show you where it is supposed to be located when you hover over the ! in the audio file (music green bar).
    So, where are the music files supposed to be located so that it can find them?
    Thanks!

    To the best of my knowledge, iMovie simply links to the music file from wherever it is located in your system. That could be the iTunes Library, your Desktop, an external drive, or other places. So if you move the music to a different location, I assume that iMovie will lose track of it. iMovie doesn't actually import the music to the project - it's just referencing it (as far as I'm aware).
    If you know the name of the track (or tracks, or artists), try doing a search both within iTunes and on your hard drive using Spotlight. If found, the best solution is probably to drag it again into your project, then do the necessary edits if applicable.
    Note that, in iMovie the music tracks are identified by song name - it's shown at the beginning of the green audio bar. So the songs shouldn't be too difficult to track down. It's just a pain having to re-instate them.

  • Itunes 8 - where are my music videos?

    I purchased music videos & I can see them under my purchased list, but WHERE ARE THEY to get them on my ipod (new generation touch)?
    This is driving me mad!!
    Help please!

    Music Videos purchased from the store, will actually go under the "Music" library. They will be sorted under the proper artist and album if applicable. You can tell music videos from the music in a library with the little Video icon to the right of the tracks name.
    Also, newer versions of iTunes come with the "Music Video" smart playlist made for you, and they should also appear there. If not, you might want to make one yourself! Use the following condition:

  • Where are all the radio stations in the new Itunes version?

    Where are all the internet radio stations as in the previous version of Itunes?  Is this content no longer available?  For instance, sky.fm or ace radio?

    Hi planex09,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.  Click on the link to see more details and screenshots.
    If you don't see a featured station or genre you like, then type an artist name that plays the kind of music you want to hear and build your station from there.
    About iTunes Radio
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5848
    About featured stations
    Featured radio stations are DJ-curated, editorial, or hybrid stations that appear at the top of the iTunes screen and will change periodically. You can add a featured station to My Stations by dragging the item to My stations or by clicking the Plus button and typing the name of the station. There may be some DJ-curated stations that you aren't able to modify. You can't like or play more tracks like this while listening to a DJ-curated station. You can, however, start a new station based on the current track or artist of a featured station or add tracks to your iTunes Wishlist from the Star menu.
    Starting and modifying stations
    You can start a station based on artist, track, genre, or sub-genre. To start a custom station, click the Plus button below the Featured Stations section in the center of the iTunes window. When prompted, type an artist name, track name, or genre or select a genre from the presented list. When starting stations by genre, iTunes Radio will play six second preview snippets for you prior to selecting a genre. After you add stations the first time, the Plus button will move to the right of My Stations.

  • Where are iTunes sync settings stored?

    After upgrading to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, the sychronization settings it iTunes appear to have been reset on my Macbook Pro. Another strange thing about this "reset" is the only settings affected were those for Music and Video.
    I had updated several apps on the Macbook and needed to sync those apps to my iPhone, as well as a couple purchased on the iPhone since my last sync with the Mac. So ... I connected my iPhone to the Macbook, and after reconizing my phone the "Sync" button became activated. Since I was on the Summary page, I suspected no changes, as I had made none, and the Capacity bar was full to about .2GB Free, as expected. I pressed the "Sync" button as usual.
    Somewhere between steps 1 and 2 (or during step 2), the Capacity bar dropped  to Green, Yellow and a sliver of Orange with 23.2GB Free?!? Whassup?? As there was no method (I am aware of short of powering down the laptop) to pause/stop sync in progress, which I suspect would be dangerous anyway, I was forced to let it complete. After it finished. I checked my iPhone and the music and videos had all been removed. When I examined the sync settings in iTunes, I noticed the Sync Music and Sync Movies check boxes were selected. All other check boxes below them for Music: Playlists, Artists, Albums, Genre, Include music videos; and Movies: Movie Names, had mysteriously been unselected.
    Since all my files are still in the proper folders on the Macbook Pro, and I use Time Machine, I am not concerned about file loss. What I am concerned with is how did this happen and where are these settings stored, so I do not have to go through ehem all and reselect each and every one to prevent this from recuring in the future. The technician and his manager could not find the location of these settings, as we tried replacing an older version from Time Machine to no avail.
    Could anyone please tell me where the Synchronization settings in iTunes are stored, so I might be able to recover the proper file and not have to reselect each sub-selection to return my music and videos to the iPhone? I can Restore my iPhone from the backup just prior to the Sync; however, these does nothing to prevent the incorrect iTunes Sync settings from removing my music and video next time to transfer/sync upgraded apps.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance. For more details see below regarding OS, iTunes and iPhone versions.
    Sincerely,
    Wynne Hunkler
    OS:          10.7.5 (Lion)
    iOS:          6.0 (10A403)
    iTunes:     10.7 (21)

    I think the device stores those selections along with which library they belong to. That's why you get the prompt to erase and reload with a different library. If you had restored the backup taken immediately before the upgrade that would probably have restored your selections.

  • Convert to MP3 - where are the files?

    Just imported a CD (my own recording = no copyright protection) into iTunes and need to convert it to MP3. Changed the iTunes importing preferences to import using MP3 encoder and the files play in iTunes ...
    ...but where are they?
    Where are the actual MP3 files?

    That's what's so strange ... there is no "Artist -> Album" folder.
    I placed the CD into the Mac & it asked if I wanted to import - said yes & the tracks popped up in the "recently imported" menu choice on the left. I created a playlist & drug all the tracks to the playlist.
    I can't even find any evidence on the computer that any files were imported from the CD. The tracks play fine in iTunes, but there aren't any corresponding files on the computer I can see - MP3 or otherwise.
    I'm looking in Music -> iTunes -> iTunes Music
    (There are several folders in there, but they are MP3s that I manually put into that folder so they'd appear in iTunes. It's the reverse I'm having trouble with - when you import music from a CD where does it store those files?)

  • Where are the music?

    Just a quick question here. If I'm listening to music in iTunes, where are all the music stored, as in which directory. TIA!

    Where the files are that you are playing in iTunes will depend on how you have iTunes configured. If in iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>General you have the boxes "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" and "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" checked then the file iTunes uses this file structure to organise things:
    User/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Artist/Album/File name
    There are also folders for compilations, podcasts, TV shows, movies, games, and unknown.
    If you aren't letting iTunes do the organising then files you add to the library will be in the folders you originally stored them in. To tell where a file in the library is located, right click on it (hold down Control and click when using a one button mouse or pad) and choose "Show in Finder", this will take you directly to where the file is kept.

  • Pages 08 Template images -where are they saved?

    I know Pages 08 does not have clip art but I like many of the pictures on the templates. I want to use some of the template images (like the cat.tiff or frog.tiff) on a blank document. Copying & pasting works but I'd rather be able to see all the template tiffs at once. Where are the template images(tiffs) located on my hard drive. Is there a specific iWork folder I can find them in?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The images are "buried" in each template which is buried in the Pages application. You can find them by Control- or right-clicking on the Pages application > Show package contents > Contents > Resources > Templates & then the folder for the template category you want. Then Control- or right-clicking on the template icon > Show package contents > Contents where you will find the actual images.
    Or you can just copy & paste from an open template.

  • Where are my photos on the PC after sync with an iphone?  I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right?  Seriously?  How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this?

    Where are my photos on the PC after synching with an iphone?  I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right?  Seriously?  How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this? That would be just as foolish as making my music unusable on the PC...
    Okay, Let's assume that Apple is indeed THAT foolish.......How does one get the photos from the phone to the PC and still use them?

    The photos are still on your phone, and if enabled in your Photo Stream. They are not automatically transferred to your computer when syncing.

  • When I rip a CD to iTunes. All goes well until I click on All Albums. If there are other artists named with the Title Artist they are shown as different albums so I end up with 16 albums containing 1 track instead of 1 Album with 16 tracks. Can I fix this

    When I rip a CD to iTunes all goes well until I click on All Albums. If there are other artists named as well as the Title Artist, I end up with what appears as 16
    Albums with 1 track instead of 1 Album with 16 tracks. Can I fix this ?

    Had a similar problem with two tracks from a cd being segregated in a separate list, but with the same album title and artwork as the other 19 tracks. I found that by double clicking the artist field next to the album icon you can then edit that info.  In your case it sounds as if you might want to erase the artist info altogether. Once you have done that, all the tracks magically group together, as they should have done in the first place. Oh there might be a dialog box first, asking if you really want to do this.
    Hope this helps.

  • Where are printer drivers stored in OS 10.8?

    I am trying to set up a Epson Stylus Photo R3000 as a new printer on OS 10.8. The printer setup locates the printer and automatically selects Epson Stylus R3000 with the notation "The selected printer software is available from Apple. Click Add to download and add this printer." However, clicking on Add leads eventually to an error message: "Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R3000 because it is not currently available fromthe Software Update server." This result blocks me from setting up the printer.
    I know the driver is part of the Epson driver software package that is installed with OS 10.8. I would like to select it manually. My question is where are printer drivers stored? How do I select a driver?
    Thanks in advance!

    While a bit of a stretch, you can download the entire Epson printer package from Apple and install it. This will include all drivers for all Epson devices as opposed to the one just for your system. The package is 1GB in size, but will include everything supported.
    The package can be downloaded here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398
    This following knowledgebase article says your printer is definitely supported, so the driver should be in that package: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#epson

  • Where are my Camera Roll pics n videos saved in iTunes(Laptop) when I backed up my iPhone to iTunes?

    I backed up my iPhone today in order to save my Camera Roll pictures and videos safely in my Laptop and then I deleted them from my iPhone to make some free space.... And I want those pictures and videos in future back into my iPhone. So I know I must restore my iPhone from back up to get back the camera roll pics and vids. But what I want to know is, where are those pictures and videos saved in my Windows Laptop when I backed up my iPhone to iTunes today? There must be some folder of iTunes or somewhere in the iTunes software where they must be saved after backing up. I want to see them on my Laptop now but how can I do that?
    I did not import them, I backed up my iPhone to my Laptop using iTunes.
    I want to see those pictures on my Laptop since I deleted them from my iPhone after backing up. Where are they in my Laptop now???

    they are in the backup file that, sadly, is not accesible unless you restore it to a phone... if you want/need access to them, you should import them

  • When I back up my musical files where are they stored?

    I got a nano a couple of years ago and put all my albums on it (synced through i-tunes). I hadn't used my nano for a few months and when I went back to it my library seemed to have been replaced.......is it possible that my teenage son overwrote the nano?. Where are my files actually backed up - would it be on the laptop I used during the backup process (even though I was signed on to I-tunes at the time) or are they in fact backed up remotely through the I-tunes site.
    It is all so confusing - and frustrating.
    I searched for my song library on my Click-free back up device but it does not seem to have stored the songs.....just stored the link to I-tunes.
    Could somebody direct me on how to solve my problem.
    cheers

    Your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and can be synced back to your nano as you did originally.  Have you opened iTunes and clicked on Music to see if your music is still there?
