After Purchasing Music I'm Getting Duplicates and Can't Remove Them
I've downloaded 2 albums recently and in both cases they've caused duplicates to be placed on my iPhone 4S. I do not have this issue on my iPad 2 for some reason.
The first album I downloaded on to my iPhone using the iTunes app. All 14 tracks were duplicated. When I went to change the genre of the songs in iTunes and resync'd, then half of the songs had the original genre and the other half the new genre. I deleted the Purchased playlist, didn't remove the dups. I unchecked music syncing in iTunes, deleted all the music EXCEPT the dups. Finally I just had to erase the whole phone and start new. Weak.
The second album I downloaded tonight on my iMac thru iTunes. When I synced my iPhone and iPad, only on the iPhone did I get duplicates... this time, however, only for tracks 7 thru 16! Again, I have no way to get rid of them and I don't even see them listed twice when I look at my music list on the iPhone 4S from iTunes on the iMac.
No, I do not have iCloud or iTunes Match/Connect/whatever.
Any idea why this is happening and how do I get rid of the duplicates???
Thanks!
Curt
OK, I don't know why it's happening, but I figured out a way to fix things on my iPhone.
With this last album, even though I made the purchase and download on my iMac in iTunes, for some reason my iPhone 4S showed that I purchased tracks 7-16 and these were the duplicated tracks. However, the iTunes app showed that I downloaded all the tracks.
So, regardless, I deleted the album out of iTunes (of course, backing up the folder with the songs in my home directory). Then I right clicked on my iPhone in iTunes on the iMac and had it transfer purchases. When this happened, my iTunes on the iMac showed the dups. Removing them in iTunes on the iMac didn't help. But, by going to the Artist and then swiping on the offending album from right to left, the option to delete the album on the iPhone appeared.
Then I re-added the album to my main playlist and synced again. And now my iPhone has no more dups. Still, this is obviously a bug with Apple on the iPhone (as I don't have this problem at all on the iPad and both are running iOS 5.0).

Why did my iPhone photos get deleted and can I recover them?
An entire album's worth of photos were deleted and I want to know why and if I can recover them.
I have an iPhone 4S on iOS 6, iTunes 10, PC user. Under "photo albums" I created a new album called "job photos" which I've been moving photos to as needed. Today I took a bunch of picutures at work with my iPhone, and before I got to my computer I moved them over from the "camera roll" to the "job photos" album, then deleted the originals in "camera roll". Everything worked fine until I synced the phone to iTunes.
Up until today I've been syncing a folder on my PC with a bunch of photos to my iPhone. In order to save space on the phone I unchecked the "sync" box to stop syncing those photos. After the phone was done syncing not only was my PC album gone but all the photos in my "job photos" album were gone too. ***?
Why did this happen and is there a way to recover the photos I just lost? My iPhone wasn't backed up so I wouldn't be able to do a backup recovery. Please help.You lost the photos because the actual data is in Camera Roll. When you see pix in albums, it is by virtue of pointers to the actual storage in Camera Roll. Otherwise, you would be using up storage by creating albums. SO, do not delete from Camera Roll until you have copied to your PC.

RAZR MAXX Home Screens, and can you remove them.
I know I said in 1 of my others posts that we should send all our tech support questions to Verizon, and that is what I did. I just got the RAZR MAXX today, and I had been playing with my wifes' for the last couple of days, and couldn't find a way to remove some of the 5 default home screens. So while I was at the store, I figured I would ask a tech about doing that. The only problem is, the tech I talked to said " I am not sure if it can be or not, I have never tried.. Why would you want to anyway?"
So here is my question for the real experts... Can they be removed? It has 5, I only want 1. I will then go back to the store and enlighten the tech.i used ADW launcher on my old incredible for a while. i REALLY liked the launcher. however, when you use a launcher, you can't use the stock widgets that are tied to your UI (touchwiz, sense, blur, etc). i liked the htc widgets too much to stick with ADW launcher. i tried to use comparable widgets by dowloading "beautiful widgets," but they just weren't as nice as htc's so i went back to using the Sense launcher. i'm not familiar with motorola's widgets so a launcher may be worth trying. i just thought i'd share this because if you've never used a launcher, then there are some quirks with them that i didn't realize. when you install it and select it as your default launcher, your will need to set the home screens back up how you want them. one thing you'll notice is that if you got to "add widget" on a screen, the motorola widgets that are specific to your phones skin (or UI. it used to be called blur. i don't know what it's called now?) will not be available.

I have purchased music that is on ipad and plays but is not in libary on pc as i cleared hard drive to portable backup ?how can i get back ? and sync ipad without losing it al ?
SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much. -
I am a foreigner. So please forgive my bad english. When I purchase music in I tunes store and burn it on cd, can i give it away to others or to I get accusable? Is it possible, to give the musi i purchased to others or to I get problems with copyrights?
It is illegal, against the law, to do this.
You ONLY buy the right to your own personal use of the music.
You do not have any right to distribute it to others. -

Why would they?
Do you have Automatic downloads enabled? Note this only works for items purchased after it is enabled.
-> iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads
Also, see this -> Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I can't access half of my downladed music. I get a message, "can't locate file." I dauthorized my computer and reloaded itunes, but it did not help. Any suggestions? Thank you.
This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

I bought an unlocked Iphone 3GS, I needed to update Ios5 and restored the settings for that which was not authorised for unlocke, but after that iphone is not getting activate and no sim card insatlled error is there. i m using local sim card in Pakistan
You didn't buy an 'unlocked' iPhone 3GS - you bought a 'hacked' one.
Updating to iOS 5 removed the hack and the unofficial unlock.
All you can do is try to find out which network the phone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock it properly.
Otherwise, sell it or throw it away and buy an officially unlocked phone from an official source. -
I have a non intel G5 and would like to download i-tune songs that I have recently purchased. I have tried everything and can't find the downloads. Did this G5 just become obsolete with itunes? If not what is the problem?
You can do it with Leopard but it depends upon the iTunes version which you did not reveal. Also make sure you are looking in the right place for purchases.
Consider buying a backup drive so you do not need to do this again. If you are going to run old hardware and software you need to live differently because yes, at some time you will find your version of iTunes no longer works. You're lucky it still works with Leopard. As you can see, some versions still work with the iTunes Store but not for repeat downloading.

how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?, how can i designate the location of the purchased music from itune store?
Hi,
Thanks. I know how to do that, however, I thought it only works with the imported content not the purchased ones. The reason for wanting this was that I keep all my music in NAS drive for SONOS (the wireless music system) will need the music to be in NAS so that it can play music while the mac is on sleep mode.
Anyhow, I will try again and let you know if it does work.
Thanks again. -

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), Intel core i5 2.3GHzWell, after some thought, I did a 'safe boot', did a disk verify and repair in Disk Utility, repaired permissions in DU and had the same problem I'd mentioned in post.
SO, I went back in (safe boot.........that is, hold down start button, then 'shift') and went to applications and removed or uninstalled any apps that I thought might be interferring with the re-boot or, specifically, with my being unable to sign in with my p/w.........(at the first key stroke, it would crash and give the 'error' message)....I had both Webroot and Dashlane installed that I thought could interfere with password recognition (Webroot protects from viruses, et all and Dashlane is a password codifying appl.) I took out whatever else I thought might not be friendly and, guess what ?? When I signed out of 'safe' mode, and rebooted normally, it worked.........and has been working properly for 3-4 hrs now, so guess it's good-to-go..........seems like it...........hope this helps anyone with the same problem I'd had...........no need to visit "genius bar" some 55 miles from here............guess us mid-seventies guys ain't too old for learnin'...........G'Day, Mates !! -

How can i remove them from my purchased(no hidden them)and my account for ever?
hello
I got a few free app before and did not download them completely and dont want to do this,
but they stay in my purchased and start automatly when i connect to itunes store and going to crazy me
How can i remove them from my purchased(no hidden them)and my account for ever?
(I want to delete all free apps and Books from my purchases.)
please help me
thank you.There is no way to do it. Others have asked for the very same thing that you are asking for, but currently it just cannot be done. You can't remover purchases from your Purchase History - you can hide them - but you can't delete them from the history.
You can delete the Apps from the iPad and you can delete them from iTunes on the computer. Delete them from iPad, delete them fromiTunes so that when you sync there is no chance that they will come back. Then hide the purchases. That's the best that you can do.
On the iPad, tap and hold down on the app icons until the X pops up. Tap the X to delete the apps.
In iTunes, clcik on Apps under the Library heading on the left. Right click on the apps that you want to delete and follow the prompts. -
