80G ipod has duplicated albums on itself!

I have owned my ipod for over a year now - no problems. Suddenly it has two duplicate copies of an album on it. The album has been in itunes for some time (one copy) but now appears three times on my ipod. Although not a catastrophe, it could be if it starts doing this with all my albums.
Has anyone come across this before? Any solutions?
Thanks

See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers. Have you perhaps recently added a second album by the same album artist? Some of the "features" I describe in the post may only become apparent when more than one album is involved.

IPod Touch duplicating album! Help!

I have a compilation folder of music that I made called "Dave's Mix". In this folder are the songs I like to listen to that I don't want in an album as I listen to these songs predominantly. I've made sure that the Album Name says "Dave's Mix", checked the track numbers to them all to ensure they were blank, also went into iTunes itself and did the "sorting" trick to make them all equal. But nothing is working at all here. I'm starting to get a little aggravated.
Other than that, I love the new iPod Touch. Thing is slick, has the internet on it..apps..really cool little device!
Can anyone solve this one up?

Fixed it!
I found that when I went into iTunes, clicked "Sorting", and then "info"..there was a checkbox for "This is part of a compilation". I checked the songs, and bingo! Got it!

New iPod Touch, duplicated albums with same songs in each album?

I was wondering if anyone could offer me some help. I got a new iPod touch today in replacement of my old 8G one, and i transferred all my music okay, but when i went onto my albums option on my ipod, it listed several of the same albums with same songs on them, eg. my Watchmen soundtrack appears at least 7 times, all with the same songs. why is this? and i was it only with some of my music? can anybody help me please?

an ID3 Tag is the data that is used to properly identify the music that is playing on the track. For instance, if you have a song playing on your iPod, it'll tell you the song name and artist, and what disc it's on. That's what the ID3 Tag is responsible for. Otherwise it'd just read the filename of the track and call it like that. No organization whatsoever.

When ipod has synched with library I find that extra copies of a whole album have been made on the ipod when onlu one exists in the iTunes library. How do I get rid of the extra copies without deleting from my library?

When my ipod has synched with music library I am finding extra copies of whole albums (minus artwork) have been made on my ipod when only one exists in my library. How do I get rid of the extra copies without deleting the album from the library?

HT2905 itunes has duplicated all my imported songs and not the albums so cannot use your solution

Itunes has duplicated all the songs of my library; how can you get rid of duplicates the quickest way possible knowing that I can't use
the suggestion to delete albums as they are the songs and not the albums which have been duplicated.

The script still works as intended whether you can pre-filter for duplicates or not. As of right now there may be an issue with some of my scripts if the library is displaying available iCloud purchases. Untick Edit > Preferences > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases if the script bombs complaining of missing object properites.

80G ipod classic, black, having a fit. Keeps turning itself on and off

Hey people.
I made the mistake of letting my 80G ipod classic run down to a completely empty battery. I think it is the first time in the year since I bought it that I have done this! Anyway, it keeps flicking on and off when I plug it into my macbook. The apple logo appears and then it goes, it appears and then it goes. I've left it plugged in for 2 hours now so it's obviously not taking any charge because its not been recognised by my macbook at all. It doesn't show up in itunes and it doesn't show up in finder.
I can't even do the 5 Rs because it won't stay on long enough so I'm not sure what to do! I think it might be dead but I wondered if anyone had any ideas on how to save it.
It's been treated quite well, I have dropped it once and it ended up in the bath once but that was over 7 months ago and it has shown no ill effects at all so I don't see how that could be the problem now.
Anyway, let me know if you think you can help fix it. I kinda need it right now to help me learn Japanese!

Ooh I just tried plugging it into another laptop and it dd the same thing, but when I took it out it said 'conect to power'. That's the first thing it's done other than display the apple logo for a fraction of a second in a while. I'm just going to leave it plugged into my laptop for days and see what happens.

First sync to iPod Touch w/ new iTunes v11.0.0 on Windows 7 PRO has no album artwork on iPod. Why?

First sync to iPod Touch w/ new iTunes v11.0.0 on Windows 7 PRO has no album artwork on iPod. Why?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

This can be done from Single User Mode. You're going to need a little nerve though since everything is command line based.
1) Enter Single User Mode by restarting and holding down Command+S on the keyboard. A whole bunch of UNIX stuff will go by on the screen in white text on a black background. When it's done, the command prompt will be sitting at:
:/root#
2) Above that, you'll see that it tells you to enter two commands. Run this one first by typing it in and pressing enter:
/sbin/fsck/ -fy
This does a system file check. A good thing to do in your case as it may be damaged. It could take a while. When it's done, you'll be back at the :/root# prompt.
3) Enter the second command and press enter:
/sbin/mount -uw /
4) Type the following at the prompt:
cd /Users/name/Desktop
Where it says "name" above, the short name of your user account goes there. If you're not sure what it is, first type:
cd /Users
Then type:
ls
That's a lower case L, not a one. It stands for "list". You'll get a listing of all files and folders in the Users folder. So if your short account name is diane, then the command will be:
cd /Users/diane/Desktop
After entering that command, the prompt should read:
:Desktop root#
Type:
rm *.jpg
Be very careful to type is exactly as shown. rm followed by a space, then *.jpg. Press enter and all files ending in .jpg will be deleted from the Desktop folder. With 450,000 of them, you could be waiting a while for the prompt to come back.
Type:
exit
and press enter to boot back into OS X.

I just got an iphone 4 yesterday. I got everything all set up and working great. When I woke up last this morning, my ipod has no sound and the albums covers are all mixed up. I've checked all my settings and volume control. My text sound won't work either. However, my ringtone works just fine.

Have you taken the steps recommended in the User Guide: restart, reset, restore?

IPod has album art issues

I'm pretty sure this is a top problem amongst iPod users. I've been trying to find a solution, but so far no good.
My iPod has had some album artwork issues lately. This problem doesn't affect a majority of my songs, but it's a really annoying problem. Despite me adding correct covers for each song on iTunes, the artwork for certain songs don't appear like they do on iTunes. They get switched with other covers from other songs on my iPod, get switched with screenshots from my iPod videos, and sometimes don't appear at all. This is despite the fact that they appear perfectly fine on iTunes.
Case 1: Album covers get switched with other album covers. In one case, the album art used for a Jason Mraz song was the album art for an Owl City song that was also on my iPod.
Case 2: For some songs, screenshots from my iPod videos appear as album art. I've got a screenshot from a Futurama episode where my Rihanna album cover should be.
Case 3: For some songs, nothing appears at all except the standard musical note icon, despite me having added covers to these songs on iTunes.
Case 4: Likewise, for some of my videos, album art from my songs appear for icons, instead of a selected screenshot from the video, which is usually what appears. In fact, the album art that does appear is the art from songs where Case 3 applies.
This is a really irritating problem that I'd like to see get fixed. The most commonly cited solution to this problem, restoring the iPod, didn't permanently work for me. Please help!

WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS AND HOW DO I RESTORE MY IPOD!!!!!

Hey gwscrt,
Since iTunes directed to you to restore your iPod, I'd check out the following article that goes over the steps to do so:
Restoring iPod to factory settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339
I would read the document in full, but here are the applicable steps for you:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
Have a good one,
David

My Ipod has stopped working properly since the laptop shut down during synching.
My ipod is being slower and wont show any music. when I go into general settings it says the music and videos are loading..
It wont let me into settings all of the time either.
My applications and games have become slow or unresponsive.
The ipod keeps resetting itself, I have tried resetting it to no avail.
I tried plugging it into itunes but it freezes itunes and wont show up on my computer.
When I switch off the ipod it shows a spinning wheel until the battery dies, which could be nearly 2 hours!!
does anyone have any advice as to what to do?
currently ive reset it - nothing has happened
ive let the battery drain itself then recharged it to see if that would make a difference - no difference
Help ASAP needed

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

My 4th gen ipod has ghosts

my daughters 4th gen ipod has a mind of it's own. it types, pulls up apps, changes pages, without us even touching the screen. Also most of the time screen seems locked up and when we press a tab, either a differant one is chosen by itself. I have reset the network and also held down home and power to do that reset and it still is doing it. Any suggestions?

"Nuts!" Did you retore to back up or new iPod? If not to new then try that. If problem continues maybe hardware. Set up an appointment with your Apple Genius Bar and have your iPod evaluated. Good luck.

If artist has one album jumps str8 to it.....cant view songs not part of it

Hi
I don't know if this is an issue with my iPod or with this generation in general, but when trying to view an artists songs if the artist has one album and a few songs that are not part of that album it jumps straight to that album, therefore no longer giving me the option to view all songs or just the songs from that album. For other artists that have multiple albums it does bring that normal menu up, allowing me to view all songs or songs from each of the particular albums.
Help!!

well i did think of that.....but i was hoping there would be a more technical and long-term resolution
the idea of having no album names or needing to have some kind of generic album title really doesn't appeal!!
sorry if this seems like i am being too fussy!!
