Double songs when bought on iPod. plz help?

My friend has a 3rd Gen iPod touch and when she buys songs from iTunes on her iPod, they come up as doubles. When they are bought on the computer and sync'd to the iPod, they are single. But when the iPod is sync'd to the computer it doesn't show that she has any doubles on iTunes, you can only see them on the iPod. How can we take the doubles off without deleting and re-buying the music on the computer??

JSnano, I have a similar problem. All songs appear on my IPOD under albums, but some artists do not appear under artists. It appears this happens whenever I download songs from a compilation album.
Does anyone know how to make artists from a compilation album (such as a "Best of the Seventies" album) appear under Artists? They appear just fine in my Itunes library, but not on my IPOD.

  • More on itunes 6.0.1 songs not going to ipod URGENT help

    I have tried to read every releated post on this but I am having the same problems as other but the typical solutions arent working (Its urgent because I am leaving town and hoping to have the new music)
    When I try to transfer songs it says the ipod software is too old, I have updated with 10-12 updater previous posts say to only mount ipod when instructed but it never prompts me. When it gives an option for installing on hard drive or ipod I have tried the ipod option it says I need to have OSX 10.2.8 which I do. I have itunes 6.0.1 (3) which has solved other peoples problems. In other help areas it says to use the restore through the ipod updater but never comes up either. I am hesitant to restore and then have nothing work anyway. It seems as if the ipod is never being updated. I dont know what else to ry. Any ideas Please.

    Jennifer, I thought iTunes 6.01 was only for 10.3.9 and above?
    iTunes 6 requires 10.3.9+ for video, but otherwise requires 10.2.8+.
    I had the same problem Jennifer mentioned, and what I did was as follows:
    Go to Applications -> Utilities -> iPod Software Updater. Double-click on the updater in this list with the 2005-10-12 date attached to it.
    In our case, it said we had iPod software version 2.2 installed, and needed updating. I clicked on the "Update" button, installed the software, and waited for the 'pod to reboot. Once it did, we had version 2.3 installed and we could transfer music again.
    Hope this helps. Some people have reported this failing with a message that it found no firmware or something like that, but I know it's worked for some.

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

    Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

  • Cant put movie on ipod plz help

    I put it successfully on itunes and it played, i converted the movie through videora, and into mp4 format but it wont go through itunes to my ipod plz help

    Well, in anticipation of getting my 60GB iPod, I used programs such as ffmpegX and Handbrake to create about 5 feature length movies. All within the new iPod parameters, H.246, 320 x 240 max., 786kbps, etc. Apple's website says if it can play in iTunes, it can play on the iPod. Well, all these play in iTunes but when I try to put them on the iPod they say not a format that it recognizes. Currently, I am opening these movies in QT and using the "export to iPod" function. I assume this will work, but I don't understand why the other method isn't. Good luck.

  • 3 ipods, 1 computer, want to share songs, but different librarys? plz help!

    Me, my sister, and brother-in-law all have our own ipods, but we want to share songs, but have different librarys. Is this possible? We are on one computer and do not want to use separate Windows XP accounts. Please Help!!

    Well, to create a smart playlist go to file > new smart playlist and set the criteria for that playlist.
    I wouldn't even use I smart playlist...that just makes it harder. Just create 3 normal playlists: one for each person, and drag whatever songs into the playlist of the person that wants them. You can drag one song into more than one playlist: it doesn't actually take the songs out of the library. The playlists are just directories that corrospond to your library. Then when you hook up your iPod, go to edit > preferences > iPod options and say "sync to selected playlists only" and choose your playlist for that iPod to update to. THen, when you add CDs, click and drag the songs into the playlists of whoever wants them. You can drag a song into 1 playlist and then into the second, and it will appear in both.
    If you are dead set on using smart playlists, then you can set the criteria for "comments...includes...."Your Name" or "Whoever's Name This Playlist Belongs To" And then when you add Cd's, go to info and add the names of whoever wants that song into the comments box. Then they will automatically be placed into the correct playlists...but honestly...this is much, much harder. You should just use the clicking-and-dragging method instead. If my description of how to do that was really bad, just ask me, and I will be more clear.
    If you are talking about different XP users, then let me know also. That's a different story altogether.

  • How do I Sync two songs to my ipod with out syncing my entire library and keeping all the song that are curantly on my ipod PLZ HELP SOMEONE

    my computer crashed and i lost all of my songs. i got some of them back but i can't get some others back. i have these awsome new songs i want on my ipod but i can't sync becuase that will delete all of the other song that i clould not recover from my i pod. how do i sync the two awsome songs on to my i pod with out syncing anything else and keeping all of the non recoverable songs on my ipod? someone PLZ HELP

    Unlikely to be possible.
    The iPhone/iPod Touch is designed to only sync to one computer at a time.
    What you are attempting to do is sync to a 2nd computer, even though it is likely the exact same computer.
    The only option that might be possible is using the manually manage music on this device option.

  • Itunes messes with my libraries and songs when connected with ipod.

    On my itunes when i move songs around to other libraires and such it wont add them to the library when it downloads to the ipod. When i make my libraires on the ipod and i connect my ipod to itunes it deletes everything i have made on the ipod and reverts back to the libraries on itunes. Basically if i want my ipod libraries set up the way i want i cant connect my ipod to itunes anymore. I also have a problem with itunes not being able to locate music files in my library folders after i move a few songs around or add mor songs or whatever. How do i get my itunes to leave the libraires the way i make them and not keep songs from transfering over to the ipod. Its actually ******* me off. its not that the songs arnt playable they just keep getting removed on their own. how can i set up my music files in a folder where itunes will resort to and not have any problems locating the files.

    For anyone who hits this thread: Hit view, then "hide music in the cloud." Your libraries will return to how you have built them.
    Kelly, your music is still probably on your hard drive. The iCloud is just a cute techy way of saying that you have online access to things you've purchased from apple... just wait until they make it so that you ONLY have online access to your purchases, and nothing ever comes "off" the cloud for you to tangibly own.
    Folks, this is a smoke and mirrors gimmick to make you buy-in to the itunes store. Let Apple manage, deliver, and DECIDE all the content that you will see. It's at least one degree more insiduous than corporate radio.
    Kudos on the crisp interface and larger album cover displays, but...
    Apple cannot find cover art for 1/3 of the library that I have built. That is because Apple does not carry that music. Apple will never host music from ancient vinyl that I have remastered, Apple will never host the shows of obscure electronica djs or the local bluegrass bands that put out EPs in the western US in the 80s. If you restrict your music experience to a single venue, you are not only missing out, but you are supporting an economic model which quashes music that does "not meet industry standards." Have fun with iTunes 11 kids.

  • Quick Question About My iPOD Plz Help!

    Hey i have the 30gig ipod vid and it was working fine and still is. The thing is i sync the files from my pc to the ipod and everything is okay, but then once i listen or watch the podcasts and stuff and it shows it has been played (blue dot beside new unplayed file is gone) and then after I try to sync again and the files that have been played will not show on the ipod again until i go and click marked as unplayed again and then update and it will show there again.
    My question is does anyone know how to fix this where the sync will not remove already watched or listened files when it is updateing? (Is it a setting i have to fix?) I kno it didnt do this before hopefully someone can help me please and thank you!

    got it to work no worries

  • 90 songs i bought not authorized? help please

    i buy all my songs, and when i updated my Itunes, 90 of my songs aren't authorized. i go and authorize them time and time again, but they still wont play or go on my ipod. I've had this problem for a few months now.

    Sometimes when trying to re-authorize over an already authorized library doesn't work, you have to first UN-Authorize (de-authorize?) the library then re-authorize it for it to work correctly.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing
