Duplicates seen only on iPad's iPod but NOT on syncing windows XP laptop...

Okay, first I hope all are well! My problem has been sent to Applecare - this has happened to me three times. Only once did Applecare help solve this. I cannot remember the procedure that this wonderful tech walked me through but I know it did not involve the Restore option.
To clarify the problem: I cannot use the normal find duplicates procedure, for the dupe only can be seen on the iiPad's iPod screen - that screen in which you touch the screen for your music selection. My iTunes on my windows xp laptop does not display the duplicate nor does it allow me to select the Find Duplicate button!
The laptop only displays that song and not it's dupe.
My solution was to delete the tunes involved from my laptop and resync! Of course I lost the songs and had the choice to repurchase the lost tunes! It is not really a problem now, for it only involves one tune but have been hit with 8 duplicates earlier in my iPad's history.
Again, thank you for your time and help!

Okay, I am going to answer my own question...Apple Care Support are made up of GREAT people!! It is 4am here in Hawaii and though the site was having problems all my retry(s) were answered by Apple techs!!! I was contacted and talked to by 3 different reps!!! Each one was professional and very cordial! I felt bad imposing on them.
What happened was that I did not really sync up my iPad from day one. Somehow my purchases were not being downloaded properly resulting in the above. I was initially thought that I would have to do a intense Restore but was walked through a procedure checking that my XP laptop was Authorized, etc. In short it is worthwhile to have Applecare!!!
I was saving for a "souped up" Lenovo W series laptop but will go with Apple product! These people made my day. I might get only 3 hrs of sleep but it is nothing compared to the peace of mind they bought me!! THANK YOU APPLE! Jobs, these people make up for any shortcomings the hardware have!
Goodnight/morning to all!

My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone. What the heck???

My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone what the heck? It was fine last week, now nothing

When you plug in your phone go to the sidebar on the left, select the device, and select the menu you want to sync.
For example at the top there is summary, info, apps, movies, etc.
If you wanted to sync movies go under there and pick and chose the movies you want on the device.
Let's assume you are doing that and syncing is not going properly. Then first double check that there is a checkmark in the top left of that page that says sync movies
If there is uncheck and then hit apply. Then it will take all the movies off. Now re-check everything and hit apply.

ITunes & QuickTime will install but not open after Windows XP laptop crash

Alright, this may be a repeat question from a long time ago, but I don't have the time to dig through 1,000+ posts so I'll just put it out there. Here's the situation:
*Backed up my entire hard drive including iTunes 8.1 and library to external drive using Roxio Back Up My PC (BUMP) creating a large .QIC file
*Two days later, entire computer crashes - says can't load from BOOT.INI upon start-up
*I re-install Windows XP service pack 2 operating system, install driver update and recovery disc, go through Windows Update and upgrade to service pack 3, etc.
*Do a system recovery from External Drive using same Roxio program, instead of a full restore, it duplicates the files I re-installed and maxes out my C:\ drive.
*Try everything I can to troubleshoot the problems on my own, defragment, disc clean-up, registry cleaner using RegCure, use Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, use File Duplicate Finder to wipe the dupes created by the restore, run Symantec Antivirus 2007 scan just in case, etc...
*Anyways, NOW getting to the iTunes related part: after the system restore, newest upgrade of iTunes 8.1 and Quicktime both don't work at all, they are installed in the same location in Program Files where they originally were housed, but when I click to open, it sends a standard Internet Explorer type error message, prompting either to debug, send troubleshoot message, etc.
*Finally, I un-install iTunes, re-install, same deal. The curious thing: practically all other programs work just fine, incl Windows Media Player, MS Office, all restored and in operational condition. Why the exception with anything Apple related?
Any advice would be MUCH appreciated considering I have 300+ gigs of music. Thank you in advance!!

Try these steps..

I have a MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed.

I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.

You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
You can try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
I would try on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If defective and not abused you will walk out with a replacement

ITunes/Apple Mobile Device works fine w/iPod but not iPad

Hi. I'm getting stuck on this and would like some help to solving this problem. Basically I'm trying to sync my iPad; however, whenever I connect it, this meesage pops up: "this iPad cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device is not started." The problem is that when I try to plug in an iPod using the same wire, it works fine, no problem, but the iPad just won't connect. I have since uninstall and reinstall all Apple components (iTunes, AMD, QuickTime, etc) and it's still the same thing...iTunes connects fine w/ the iPod, but not the iPad. What to do? Thnx in advance.
EDIT:
Btw, I've tried to connect the iPad while the iPod is connected, and the "Apple Mobile Device is not started" error message pops up too, which is weird, because the iPod is connected and syncing at that time...which means the Apple Mobile Device thing IS started. >.>

The iOS devices use Apple Mobile Device Service, while older iPods use the iPod Service.
Checkout this Apple document -> How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
Are you able to restart the service after following the steps in that article?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

You can sync your iPod with multiple computers, but what can be synced is very limited. See this article for more details.

My apple id password only works on my mac but not on my iPhone or iPad

my apple id password only works on my mac but not on my iPhone or iPad what do i do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

How do you remove a playlist from the iPod but not the library

How do you remove a playlist from the IPod but not the library?

If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
Hope thi helps.

Any ideas people? It would be greatly appreciated.

You don't say whether you are on PC or Mac. For Mac there are these two programs which might help (I havn't tried either) :
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/songsergeant.html
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/idupe.html
There are probably similar programs for PCs, but I don't know what they are. On a PC you can hold the shift key and do File > Display Exact Duplicates (without the shift they may not be exact matches) - if one of each duplicate pair has the same date added then you can sort by that and then delete those with (or without) that date.

Ah, it has been mentioned daily esp since iOS 5 / iTunes 10.5 but has always been there as an issue.
Order of attempts:
Repair the installers
Uninstall EVERY Apple component (auto and manual)
Services: Restart all 3 Apple items (AMS, Bonjour, iPod)
I* always do the last almost, then launch iTunes, and only then connect iPod.
IF you see a yellow alert in Devices and Printers or in Device Manager, then I could find NO WAY to fix or repair other than a clean OS. Something messed up the device driver support.
If/when Windows asks "what to do when it detects iPod"? don't chose any default action, to me, based on hunch and 3 PCs, that seems to mess AMS up for some reason.
Tried with Windows 7 64-bit Pro and Home Premium, and also Deve Preview 8 (which other than the inability to update iOS to 5.0 seems to run better -- except when it comes to AMS thing! so seems Apple is not on the same page writitng drivers.
