Why is my music split up on my iphone?

Ever since updating to iOS 6 the music on my phone is randomly split up, sometimes by artist, sometimes by album. I'm using an iPhone 4s and iTunes match.
I know this is isn't a metadata thing because it was never a problem before and I've updated all the tags to make sure.
With one artist in particular, it started out with just a single song. So I would browse to the artist and see two entries. One entry was all of the albums from that artist, and the other was just a single song. Then a few days later it was showing an entire album under this second artist entry. Now it is about half the music from this artist. For others it is within an album, so there will be a few songs from a particular album listed separat
Again, I know it isn't the metadata, and this didn't start until I updated to iOS 6.

The only thing that helped on my iPhone and iPad was disabling iTunes Match, deleting all songs, and enabling iTunes Match again.

    Hi heal1995,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are seeing a discrepancy between the number of songs iTunes shows are on your iPhone and the number of songs you actually see on your iPhone. In this situation, I would recommend using the attached article to make sure the music you want on your iPhone has been properly synced to your iPhone.

  • Why does my music split

    Whenever I complete albums through the iTunes on the iPad, the songs I already bought decide to be a separate album, this is infuriating when I try and listen to an album in one go. I tried to repair it by clicking compilation album through iTunes on my PC, but this didn't work. The picture here is just one example. I bought the album, having already purchased one song. The song I previously bought has not blended with the rest of album. HELP! HELP! HELP!

    And you're playing the music with the built in iPod App? Tried it myself: music is continue playing music also when I open the FB-App.

  • Ios 5.1 issue - why have the music controls been disabled when iphone is docked?

    I just updated my iphone 4s yesterday, and immediately I have a huge problem.
    When I dock the phone in my car (using a Denison dock) OR connect it via bluetooth to my car stereo, all of the music controls are locked!
    The Music App becomes a white screen with "device connected" written on it, and there is no way for me to play/pause/skip/browse music on the handset.
    Even double-clicking the home button, the audio controls are greyed-out and don't function.
    I am furious about this, why break something that was working perfectly before?   It's not for safety reasons because the iphone is happy for any other app to be used while docked.  I use my iphone in the car all the time, and it is utterly USELESS if I can't use the Music app normally.
    I have tested with docks at home, and this issue seems to occur only when the connected device can also control the iphone.  I need to stress that no car controls can allow easy use of the Music app - it means you have to take the device off the dock to make any changes in what you're listening to.
    PLEASE can this go back to the way it was!?

    Found another post with a similar issue after upgrading to ios 5 and this worked for him, I might try this tonight and will re-post if it worked for ios 5.1:
    1)Connect phone
    2)Hightlight your phone on the left side of the iTunes window
    3)Click on the music tab towards the top middle of the iTunes window
    4)Uncheck "sync music"
    5) Click "Apply" down on the bottom right  At either this step or the preceding step you might get a
    pop up box that says "you have made changes" or something like that, click okay or apply.
    6)After this is finished, check to make sure there is no music left on your iPhone by double clicking on your
    iPhone in the left hand pane of iTunes and then click on "music" under your iPhone
    7)If there is no music on your iPhone, then recheck the "sync music" and then click "apply" down in the
    bottom righ.
    8)If you have a lot of music it will take hours to sync, but when finished your Dock accesorries should work again.

  • Why wont the music i purchased on my iphone show up on my pc?

    I have tried "transferring purchases" and many other things, but none have worked.

    They are not stored at icloud.com, your purchases can only be seen and re-downloaded via iTunes.

  • We have two iTunes accounts on one computer. Why is my music, apps, etc showing in my husbands account? home sharing is not selected

    We have two iTunes accounts on one computer. Why is my music, apps, etc showing in my husbands account? Home sharing is NOT selected. This recently became an issue when we added additional devices. Now we keep getting each other's apps!

    Se descargan aplicaciones para mi iPad 64 3G, las cuales en el momento de sincronizar no pasan a la iPad debido a que solicita una autorizacion para el ordenador la cual se autoriza con ID y el Password, esta orden se procesa y vuelve a solicitar nuevamente la autorizacion y asi sucesivamente.
    He intentado creando nuevas cuentas y desinstalando iTunes y volviendolo a instalar.
    Favor de orientarme en la solucion adecuada para el asunto comentado anteriormente.

  • Why does my music on my ipod touch 5th generation get deleted when I connect it to iTunes on my computer?

    Why does my music keep getting deleted on my ipod touch Everytime I connect it to iTunes on my computer? I've Uninstaller and reinstalled itunes. I've reset my ipod to factory setting and I keep getting this message " The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54)" this also happens with my ipod 4th generation too. Everytime I go to put new music on it all my old music gets deleted :-/

    That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.

  • Why is the music clip marked with a yellow warning sign?

    While browsing my project library today, I noticed that every music clip associated with a particular project is marked with a yellow "warning" triangle (with an exclamation point in the center). What's worse, the music won't play.
    I had previously uploaded this video to YouTube, where it now plays just fine. But I'm still puzzled by the warning sign, and by the fact that the music won't play when I take a look at it in my Project Library.
    I've never had a warning sign like this emerge in connection with anything else I've put together with iMovie. Why is it there, and why are the music clips inoperative? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi !
    I have a question. I had that little warning sign as well but in the clip I had just imported into the event library... I don't understand because when I went to the folder in which iMovie copies the clips I import, it was right there. Same name, same size, same runtime... and it played perfectly; and I could preview the clip in iMovie. But the thumbnail was gray with that little sign. Also, I couldn't delete the clip from my library.
    I closed iMovie, started it again... the clip is in the library, no more gray thumbnail and little yellow sign.
    How is that possible ?!

  • I loaded a lot of music from my CDs on to my iMac at home.  All my music is stored on the cloud.  So why is the music on my MacBook Pro different.  The CDs are missing from this list.

    I loaded a lot of music from my CDs on to my iMac at home.  All my music is stored on the cloud.  So why is the music on my MacBook Pro different.  The CDs are missing from this list. The iTunes account details I use on both computers is the same.

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I think you ave sorted my problem with your question.  I thought that as my iTunes account was on their server (Cloud) and I had previously added CDs which showed up, that all my music was "on the cloud".  I used to use Match but when I turned it off lost all my music that I had previously loaded onto my computer.
    So I guess I have to use the cloud again to access my songs.  This is frustrating as I fly a lot and can not use the music (Cloud based) when the phone is in flight mode as there is no internet.
    So how then do I retrieve all my music to my iMac and have my laptop synced so they are the same?
    I am totally confused now.

  • Why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

    why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

    I have a similar problem.  Originally, my iTunes advanced setting was set such that a shortcut to the song was copied into my music library so sometimes copying songs to my iPod resulted in them being grayed out.  I changed that setting some time ago and haven't had the problem until recently.
    I don't know what to do.  here's the situation:
         1.  I have a song that is stored on my file system within My Documents. (it was purchased via Amazon)
         2.  Through iTunes I choose the File | Import file to library (or some text like that)
         3.  I navigate to the location of the song
         4.  I import it.
         5.  I can play the tune from the music library or from an internal PC playlist.
         6.  I then attempt to copy the song to my iPod.  When I do, it appears in the iPod's playlist grayed out.
    I have done those steps countless times for dozens of songs without a problem.  Even others that I've purchased through Amazon.  What is so different this time?  I should mention that this problem NEVER happens if I buy the song through the iTunes store.  Only if I buy it from another source (e.g. Amazon).  WHY ???

  • Why dont the music & music videos work the same as on iPhone?

    why dont the music & music videos work the same as on iPhone?

    Gettingonmynerves, in my honest opinion, you will be gettingabsolutelynowhere in your attemp to edit AVCHD files natively with PE using a Laptop.
    Your system is seriously underpowered for the task at hand.
    Most folks would recommend at least a Quad Core desktop, tuned for perfomance.
    What you might try is to convert the AVCHD to traditional HDV via this link:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/390605?tstart=0
    This may buy you some relief, but even with the convert, I think it will still be a challenge to edit these formats on a laptop.
    You could also try to down convert the video via the Camera, if that feature is available. I don't have or use a High Def Camera at this time so I can't help much with the Camera possibilities.
    Again it's not an issue with the laptop itself, it probably works great for it's intended use, unfortunately it is not up to the task, performance wise, for editing the ACVHD or High Def formats with PE...
    Good Luck...
