Duplicate albums downloaded why ?

The are a number of albums that have been duplicated more than once from iTunes on to my iPod Classic even though only one of each exists on my Mac. I use auto sync. How can I correct this and delete the extra versions off my iPod. I appreciate any help anyone out there can give. Thanks

See my recent post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • When i syn with itunes i get duplicate album, how do i resolve it ?

    How do you remove duplicate album and why doe it happen?

    I have a similar problem. When I sync my iPod classic with iTunes 10, I have several albums that wind up appearing on my iPod's album list anywhere from two to six times each. The albums all appear correctly in iTunes -- they're not split into multiple albums, each with a few tracks. It's a complete duplication of the album.
    For example, I have R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People album. It displays correctly in iTunes; I only see it once, all twelve tracks appear on a single album. When I sync to my iPod, I have three copies of the album, each with the same twelve tracks, same album art -- to all appearances completely identical to each other. I've removed the album from my sync list, gone through a sync, confirmed it was removed, then added it again with the same result -- three copies. I've removed the album from iTunes, synced, confirmed it was removed, then added it back into iTunes, synced again and once more, three copies of the album appear. I've made sure each track has their track number of total tracks, disc 1 of 1, checked through the sort tab -- I'm at a loss. I haven't found anything online to help at all.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Why do duplicate albums appear on my iPod Classic screen when there are no duplicates in my iTunes Library?

    Why do duplicate albums appear on my i{Pod Classic screen when there are no duplicates in my iTunes Library?

    It's probably going to be a capitalisation error. In other words, one or more tracks on the album has a lower case letter at the beginning of the album name while all the others have a capital letter. They can be difficult to spot.
    In iTunes, examine one of your duplicated albums carefully. You should be looking for a slight difference between the album title name. Look at the screenshot below, can you see the error in the album title?
    It is there...
    The title track (Left Of The Middle). Look at the capitalisation of the album name.
    Once you find you error in your album, re-type it (or copy-and-paste from one track to all the tracks) and then SYnc your iPod to iTunes. Does that cure it? If nto, let us know.

    Depending upon what country that you are in you might be able to try 'redownloading' it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Only one track is downloaded per album on itunes on my iphone 5. Every time I download a new track it deletes the previously downloaded track on that album. Why is this happening and how can I switch it off?

    Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Sometimes it's necessary to uninstall then reinstall that plugin.
    Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
    Now launch Safari and try a video.
    If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
    You may also need to delete the cache associated with Safari .
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy/paste:   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.

  • IPhone 5C: Duplicate Albums and not capitalizing Artists?

    Hello! I got my iPhone 5C for my upgrade on October 1st. My carrier is Sprint.
    I've been trying to put my music back onto my phone that was previously on my iPod Touch, but there's a slight problem. I have an album duplication problem, as well as a capitalization problem.
    As for the duplication, only one album is duplicated (I somehow fixed the other one), and it is only duplicated on my iPhone, not on iTunes. I'm positive the Artist and Album Artist are the same, as I'm a perfectionist and I want everything to be together, which is why this is bothering me so much. I've restored my iPhone 3 times and yet it's still duplicated, and I've taken the music on and off but with iOS 7 it's never really off, it just sits there and has the "Download from iCloud" button.
    Whenever I play the songs in one of the duplicated albums, it says it's playing in the other album too. But I can also go through the songs of that album and play the first song in that album, go through the entire album, and then it'll play it again as if the album is on loop, but it's really just thinking there's two of the same album.
    My capitalization problem is that for the band Blood On The Dance Floor, it thinks it's Blood On the Dance Floor. That really bothers me because that's not how it's supposed to be stylized but it won't change, even though on iTunes I have it written as Blood On The Dance Floor. Is there any way to fix this? Again, I have taken the music on and off and made sure that they're all written the way I want them to.
    Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

    In case anyone was wondering - I finally sorted this issue.
    In iTunes, some of the files within the album had data input in some of the 'sort by' fields of the 'sorting' tab on their info - this led to the duplicate albums appearing in our phones - deleted the sorting data and voila, problem solved

  • How do I delete a huge number of duplicate albums from my itunes for mac library?

    I have a huge itunes music library, over 900 GB, and as it turns out I have a huge number of duplicate albums.  Is there a way to automatically get rid of the duplicate albums so I am left with only one of each?  If not, what is the best way to identify and remove my library's duplicate albums?  Thanks!
    Cheers,
    Gerry

    iTunes does not have any automated way of deleting duplicates.
    You can identify the duplicates by
    View > Show Duplicates
    or
    Alt + View > Show exact Duplicates
    (or if you are on windows Shift+ View > Show Exact duplicates
    There is a third party tol which is free to download and then register. Although the copy I tried worked fine as a trial download

  • Frustrated - Duplicates and "download@2008" files in library

    Hi,
    I had to reformat my computer. I had all my songs on a backup drive. When I downloaded itunes, it found all my songs, but it duplicated everything. I think it's because it searched for my files, and somehow imported them as well, who knows.
    I deleted all the files, uninstalled itunes. changed my folder structure around so that it was all a clean slate. Basically, I now have only an itunes music folder, with all the files categorized by artist.
    When I import the folder using the import folder to library, it will import all songs, but there are a bunch of songs that still duplicate. Also, it is then creating "download" files. I have about 20 of these, and also a download file called "download@2008 12-27T07;59,20". When I look at the paths to any of these "download" files, it points to songs that are already in my library.
    Please please help. I'm losing my mind.
    Thanks,
    Denise F.

    I haven't been through as much as you, but I still feel frustrated (and perhaps about to lose my mind).
    I've been using Windows Media Player (and therefore I have all wma files), and that's been fine. All my music is well organized, and the albums and artist information in WMP is very clear and easy to access. People make fun of me for speaking highly of WMP, but so far it's been a great program with no problems.
    Recently, I won an iPod Shuffle, so I realized I would have to download iTunes if I wanted to use it. I downloaded it, and have had non-stop problems converting my music into the iTunes format. I have duplicates, albums have been split up... It's just structured everything in a horrible, non-intuitive way.
    Everyone talks about how easy-to-use iTunes and Apple software is, but it has caused me nothing but frustration thus far. I'm just glad I won the iPod, and that I didn't actually pay for it.
    Sorry to rant (and not say anything constructive related to your problem), but I had to get that off my chest. Ah, the Internet can be a wonderful thing...

  • Ipod duplicates albums. All the same artist, same everything. How can I fix this?

    Ipod duplicates albums. All the same artist, same everything. How can I fix this?
    All the details are the same. In my itunes library it shows as ONE whole album. When I import it to my ipod classic 160 gb it duplicates it about 4 times; it's quite irritating. It does that for 2 albums in particular and I have no idea why. Please help! Thank you.

    Hi alondres,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Use the information in the following article to review the information in the iTunes database for the artist / albums you are having issues with.  Make sure the information you want is exactly the same in the artist and album fields.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1399#3
    Editing Info
    Each audio or video file in iTunes has several settings and tags that can be easily modified. These options can be accessed by selecting any file in the iTunes browser windows and selecting "Get Info" from the File menu. You can add song lyrics, artwork and set special playback options. The "Info" tab lets you edit information about the file including artist and album info.
    Once you have updated the information, close the iTunes application on the computer.  Then reopen and resync to your iPod.

    Change the album title to AlbumX, apply, then change back to Album. Repeat as necessary.

  • Is there a way for me to "gift" or send an album download from my iTunes account to my daughter in another city?

    Is there a way for me to "gift" or send an album download from my iTunes account to my daughter in another city?

    This is not a law forum but technically I think your daughter is supposed to own her own copy, not a second copy of the track you bought.  In that regard it would be best to use Apple's gifting service to give her the track.

  • So i just got a new mac, and i am trying to sync my songs that i bought on itunes, and some of the worked, but a huge selection of them have a little exclamation mark beside it and it says it can't be downloaded, why?

    Hello Pork Chop 2,
    Congratulations on your new Mac!  It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them.  I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    You can find the full article here:
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
