Audio files are copied multiple times to the iphone

Hello,
I have media files (music, audiobooks) on an external harddisk, these are listed in iTunes media.
Some of them I put on the iPhone by drag-and-drop. This worked without problems formerly.
Since some time, some audiobooks are copied up to 16 times on the iPhone.
This reduces the available memory sometims "below zero", means it even cannot fully be synchronized anymore.
I can delete these in the configuration menu by swiping to the right. But later, again there are multiple copies in.
What is this caused by and how can it be solved?
kind regards

A spelling or punctuation mistake, or sometimes a trailing space usually causes this after the artists and/or song name, which fools the iPod into thinking that there are two different artists or songs. The trailing space is the hardest to spot.
Best way to cure this is to go into iTunes, highlight that artist and/or songs, right click on them and select "get info".
This brings up the multiple song info window. If you see the "artist" field is left blank, then there is a discrepancy with that name.
So to correct this, in the artist or song box retype the name, as you would like it, and then click ok. You should do this even if no mistakes are immediately visible.
Re sync this new artist/song info to your iPod.
If the above is not the issue, try this also. Highlight all the songs for that artist, right click on them and select "apply sort field/same artist".
See if that works.

  • How can I make apps show up multiple times on the iphone?

    Hi, call me pedantic if you will, but I want some of my iphone apps to show up in several locations so I can sort out the folders.
    For example, I have loads of games. I want to categorize them as sports games, puzzle games, racing games, etc.. but I also want a folder called favourite games. I want any games in the favourite games folder to show up in the correct category folder as well.
    I know that we probably can't do that with a normal iphone but if I was to jailbreak, could I do it?

    Do you go around chastising others for providing answers to other people's questions just because you don't seem to find the answer helpful? Isn't it really up to the original poster to decide what is helpful and what is not?
    Could I respectfully request that it would be more effective if you either provided an answer to the original question, if you know it, and if not just avoid posting solely to criticize someone who has been helping here for many, many thousands of posts (and been acknowledged for doing so by hundreds of users who have been helped)? Otherwise it really is you that's wasting time and bandwidth.
    Regards.

  • I have ripped all of my Cds into iTune, now I cannot find where some of the artists have been filled, not all the artists are listed, yet others are listed multiple times as they play with other groups. How do I list all one artist under his name? I know

    Sorry this will appear pretty basic stuff.  I have ripped all my Cds into iTunes, but in starting to make playlists it is apparent that some artists are listed multiple times as they appear with different bands, and others do not appear at all.  I have tried searching different categories, compilations etc, and Finder box does not bring them up.
    My questions are:-
    Do I need additional software to manipulate my tunes in iTunes?
    If so what is suggested?
    or if not:-
    How can I re arrange the tunes so that they appear only under one artist?
    How do I make my "lost" artists tunes appear?
    Thanks for any advice.

    I am not really following what the problem is here.  Artists are listed in the Artist field.  I guess you could stick individual artists in a band in a field such as comments, but then you would have to include searching the comments field in your search.  In which fields are these names located?
    How are you making these playlists? Are these smart playlists or are you just dragging tracks to a playlist?
    Are you doing this search with Finder's find or with iTunes' search?
    If I knew exactly what it was you were trying to do I could tell you if you need addditional software.  In reality though there isn't "additional software" for iTunes.  There's Applescript plugins but I don't see how the ones with which I am familiar would have anything to do with searching for artist names.
    How can I re arrange the tunes so that they appear only under one artist?

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

Elements 12.  I am trying to add audio media.  I know where the audio files are located (using GET INFO while in iTunes), and when I try to add certain audio files, some are accepted and some are not.  In one case, when I opened a particular folder, the song was not listed, even tho' the song is there when using Windows Explorer.  This happens with mp3 and mp4 and just wav files.  Some audio are accepted, most are not.  I get that codec is not installed error message, too.

  • Logic Pro 9- I saved a song- the audio files did not bounce and are nowhere to be found.  The song is still there, but the audio files are missing.  Any ideas?

    I have searched the computer by song name in the audio files.
    I have opened up media files and looked everywhere.
    I tried remapping where they would be saved and hoping they were updated.
    Any help finding where they are located would be great.  The song still loads when I open it, I just can't find the audio files!

    Have you tried using the built in Browser in LP?

  • Issue where audio files are causing buffering in Adobe Presenter 9.0.2

    I have a module that I have published that the audio files are causing the playback to buffer at the end of the slides. I have unchecked Disable preloading of embedded Flash content, since I have seen that suggestion previously causing issues. I do not have videos in this module. It did this when I did a preview of my PowerPoint presentation. Thinking publishing could give me a possible different outcome once it was on the Connect server. However, the same issue occurs. I have tried copying the slides and placing them into a new presentation but that did not work as well, I had the same issue. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I am at a holding point since I cannot make the course live if I know this is an issue on playback.

    Hi kornieme,
    Please package the published content using package option in presenter and put it in some drop box and send me the link..

  • Recorded audio files are gone after power outage during a concert

    Hello together,
    yesterday I used Logic Pro X to record a concert at our school. I had connected my MacBook Air to our mixer via FireWire, and everything went fine until two minutes before the concert's ending, the power went out. My MacBook was still working from battery, however, Logic Pro stopped recording and all recorded files except for one audio file are gone. I have already tried to recover the lost data by using a data recovery app, but it didn't find anything.
    Is there a way to recover the lost recordings? I mean, Logic must have written its audio files to the hard drive somewhere and even when everything crashed, I don't think the files got overwritten with zeros or something else that could have destroyed it...
    Many Regards,
    Leo Bernard

  • Audio files are there, but there is no sound.  Final Cut v1.0.1

    I have been working on a project in Final cut express v1.0.1 for a few days. At first, there were no problems with audio, then I tried to open the file on a friends machine using final cut 2 (my final cut program and scratch disc are on an external drive). I was prompted to update my project so it would be FC2 compatible and I chose not to. We were not able to view the project on my friend's machine. When I try to play the project now, there is no sound even though all audio files are in place.
    It might be worthwhile to note that before trying to view the project on my friend's machine I created a "final cut movie file" which will play with audio on either machine in Quicktime but not in Final cut.
    Any help or advice about what I should do to fix this would be much apreciated, Thanks.

    Hi Suzy Q,
    I can send and receive calls.
    I get "messaging stopped" when doing a lot of texts.
    Texts come up "ghosted" meaning they have the text on the bottom and a transparent one overlaid  on top. they then become one. But I get the ghosting most of the time when I go into a message from a contact to send a text.
    When I go to call logs or text logs, the numbers come up first, and then then the names pop up randomly, meaning not in order down the page, until they are all shown. lots of lag time.
    It runs slow.
    I have 5 apps on here. I should be able to have a  lot of apps on here, and play music, and have files, and...and....and.
    I can get online but doing a Google search, when the page with the choices comes up, it is blurred and I have to tap on the screen for it to become clear and readable.
    When online and scrolling, it hitches sometimes/lags/gets stuck then unstuck
    I get VZWAVS has stopped. (not sure if those are the right letters)
    The status bar that is supposed to be gray with the new update, goes back and forth between green--the old os--to gray. And I have found no continuity with when I get green or when I get gray.
    I get a black screen on occasion.
    sometimes the proximity sensor doesn't work.
    sometimes when I have my bluetooth on and have "hands free mode" on, I get the a text message read through the headset and also through the handset.
    I soft reboot often--turn it off wait a bit and

  • CFMCPopupMenu is shown multiple times if the menu key (VK_APPS) is pressed multiple times

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the CFMCPopupMenu in a Visual Studio Professional 2013 Update 4 created MFC DLL (Regular DLL using shared MFC DLL) and in a dialog based MFC application (others I didn't test - maybe in an SDI application too).
    If the menu key (VK_APPS) is pressed multiple times, the context menu is created and shown multiple times. 
    When pressing the Alt (VK_MENU) key or clicking with the mouse buttons the menu is not shown multiple times. 
    It seems to be bug in CDialogImpl::PreTranslateMessage case WM_CONTEXTMENU where it is tested if a popup menu is already shown 
    and if there is an active popup menu this popup menu is closed, but only if the pMsg->wParam == VK_MENU.
    The problem occurs in a dialog based MFC application and in dialog's in regular DLL's. 
    In case of MFC MDI applications the problem does not occur, 
    because in the CFrameImpl::ProcessKeyboard the key is passed to the popup menu for processing pActivePopupMenu->SendMessage(WM_KEYDOWN, nKey); and eaten up.
    You can reproduce the problem in the following way:
    1. Create a dialog based MFC application with the Visual Studio 2013 wizard.
    2. Add a menu IDR_MENU1 to the resource.
    3. Add a ON_WM_CONTEXTMENU / OnContextMenu message handler to the dialog.
    4. Insert the following code into the OnContextMenu handler of the dialog:
      _ASSERT(!CMFCPopupMenu::GetSafeActivePopupMenu());
      CMenu m;
      m.LoadMenu(IDR_MENU1);
      CMFCPopupMenu* pPopupMenu = new CMFCPopupMenu;
      pPopupMenu->SetAutoDestroy(FALSE);
      VERIFY(pPopupMenu->Create(this, 100, 100, m.GetSafeHmenu(), TRUE, TRUE));
    5. Compile and start the application and press the Menu Key (VK_APPS) multiple times.
    -> You run into the ASSERT.
    If you press the Alt-Key or left click with the mouse multiple times all is fine.
    You can also add a tracepoint in the constructor and destructor to see that the CMFCPopup menu is created multiple times if the Menu-Key is pressed.
    Kind regards,
    Andreas.

    Hi Andreas,
    Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
    Yes, I can reproduce this issue on my side. After look into the afxdialogimpl.cpp and afxframeimpl.cpp file, It really is a issue in the dialog message translate. I have no workaround to avoid this. But maybe we can try to use
    CMenu class and handle WM_RBUTTONDOWN message instead of WM_CONTEXTMENU.
    void CMFCPopupMenuTestDlg::OnRButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
    // TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
    CMenu menu;
    VERIFY(menu.LoadMenu(IDR_MENU1)); //IDR_MENU_POPUP是新建菜单ID
    CMenu* popup=menu.GetSubMenu(0);
    ClientToScreen(&point);
    popup->TrackPopupMenu(TPM_LEFTALIGN|TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, point.x, point.y, this );
    CDialogEx::OnRButtonDown(nFlags, point);
    By using this, we can avoid the VK_APP message caused multi pop up menu.
    Also have you tried submit this issue to Microsoft connect?

  • Why does FCP looses its source file reference when files are copied

    Why does FCP looses its source file reference when files are copied from another project??
    i have this happen all the time, I move all my media to another drive and files that originated in another project do not reconnect because they have lost there source?
    Any way to fix this mess? i am in the middle of reconnecting 400 files by hand one at a time!!!
    Thanks, mark

    Because you changed the file path. From one hard drive to another...the hard drive name is no doubt different, and then if you have the files in different folder structures then yeah, it will lose the connection to that media.
    Best thing to do is to clone your media drive, or name the other drive the same name, and keep the exact same file structure (folders in folders) as the original drive. Then you won't need to reconnect.

  • It is very difficult to import audio files from extern drives (NAS) into the new garageband

    To open an audio file drag it from your NAS to a real-instrument track in GarageBand.
