Duplicate album in iTunes

Hi! There is an album in iTunes that appears twice, how can I fix it?

Howdy Giovanni28,
It sounds like you have an album that is duplicated in the iTunes application on your Mac. You can delete the second album you see there with the steps in the following article:
iTunes 12 for Mac: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
Delete an item from your library
Click the item to select it, and press the Delete key.
Click Delete [item].
Do one of the following:
Remove the item only from your iTunes library: Click Keep File.
Delete the item from your computer: Click Move to Trash. The item is removed the next time you empty the Trash.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

  • How do I delete a huge number of duplicate albums from my itunes for mac library?

    I have a huge itunes music library, over 900 GB, and as it turns out I have a huge number of duplicate albums.  Is there a way to automatically get rid of the duplicate albums so I am left with only one of each?  If not, what is the best way to identify and remove my library's duplicate albums?  Thanks!
    Cheers,
    Gerry

    iTunes does not have any automated way of deleting duplicates.
    You can identify the duplicates by
    View > Show Duplicates
    or
    Alt + View > Show exact Duplicates
    (or if you are on windows Shift+ View > Show Exact duplicates
    There is a third party tol which is free to download and then register. Although the copy I tried worked fine as a trial download

  • Why do duplicate albums appear on my iPod Classic screen when there are no duplicates in my iTunes Library?

    Why do duplicate albums appear on my i{Pod Classic screen when there are no duplicates in my iTunes Library?

    It's probably going to be a capitalisation error. In other words, one or more tracks on the album has a lower case letter at the beginning of the album name while all the others have a capital letter. They can be difficult to spot.
    In iTunes, examine one of your duplicated albums carefully. You should be looking for a slight difference between the album title name. Look at the screenshot below, can you see the error in the album title?
    It is there...
    The title track (Left Of The Middle). Look at the capitalisation of the album name.
    Once you find you error in your album, re-type it (or copy-and-paste from one track to all the tracks) and then SYnc your iPod to iTunes. Does that cure it? If nto, let us know.

  • When i syn with itunes i get duplicate album, how do i resolve it ?

    How do you remove duplicate album and why doe it happen?

    I have a similar problem. When I sync my iPod classic with iTunes 10, I have several albums that wind up appearing on my iPod's album list anywhere from two to six times each. The albums all appear correctly in iTunes -- they're not split into multiple albums, each with a few tracks. It's a complete duplication of the album.
    For example, I have R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People album. It displays correctly in iTunes; I only see it once, all twelve tracks appear on a single album. When I sync to my iPod, I have three copies of the album, each with the same twelve tracks, same album art -- to all appearances completely identical to each other. I've removed the album from my sync list, gone through a sync, confirmed it was removed, then added it again with the same result -- three copies. I've removed the album from iTunes, synced, confirmed it was removed, then added it back into iTunes, synced again and once more, three copies of the album appear. I've made sure each track has their track number of total tracks, disc 1 of 1, checked through the sort tab -- I'm at a loss. I haven't found anything online to help at all.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Ipod duplicates an album, but itunes shows it only once.

    Mi ipod touch has started to duplicate several albums, but my itunes only shows a single copy. The difference between the 2 albums is that one copy will have several tracks missing while the other will be complete. If I delete the one with missing tracks from the ipod it deletes those tracks from the other album, so I end up with just 2 or 3 tracks. I have tried deleting it in itunes and syncing the ipod and then re-adding the album to itunes. This is just a waste of time as it always re-syncs the ipod with both copies again. If anyone can help I would be greateful.

    I have this exact same problem.. exactly.. and it breaks my balls.  I am not OCD about songs, but it's nice to be able to put all the songs of one artist on, without whole albums being repeated with other albums missing songs like you said.  I hope someone cleans this act up for us. Peace
    UPDATE: I might have figured it out... randomly some songs in an album are marked as "part of compilation".  It turns out this is messing everything up! when you untick it and add them back into your ipod.. ORDER IS RESTORED!! YES!!! i was losing sleep with this ****. x

  • Can't Find Albums in iTunes

    I am a relatively new iTunes user. I have a 96 GB collection of music on my hard drive. I loaded iTunes when I purchased my iPhone back in mid-September. Currently running version 7.5
    I imported my entire collection of music into iTunes. The collection was primarily MP3s and some WMA file types. During the import there were a lot of files "converted" I think was the term used. Anyway I now have a million files in my original folder and a subset (duplicats) I guess in the file iTunes created.
    My question is there are a lot of albums missing in iTunes. I have gone into File/Upload Folder and selected a couple of the folders (albums) to load into iTunes. It goes through the whole process but I can't find the songs or albums in iTunes. They are all MP3 files that I am trying to get iTunes to recognize. I noticed also if I try to upload the folders again nothing happens.
    Where are my albums? Am I doing something wrong?

    Aren't there any iTune guru's out there? I have a bunch of albums I can't get loaded into iTunes that I would love to listen to.

  • Can't get a duplicate album off my Iphone?

    So the other day I downloaded an album off Itunes and then synced my Iphone to put it on. When I checked it the next day, the album had a double of every song. Usually this isn't a problem and I just delete the duplicates and sync it again. But when I went to my Itunes, there wasn't any duplicates. I synced my phone, and there still weren't any in Itunes, only my phone. I then unchecked the songs, and then the duplicates dissapeared, but the album was still on my Iphone. It appears this album is stuck on my Iphone and I have no idea how to get it off...this is also the case for a few other songs I bought that same night. Any idea how to get them off or what is going on? thanks!

    First you have to know which calendar your client saved the event to. Usually by default it saves to the native Calendar app. If that is the case, he should be able to log into iCloud and delete the event (decline the invitation) from there. If your client saved the event to an external calendar that he has synched to his iPhone (Yahoo, Google, etc.) he may be able to delete it or decline it from there, which should in turn remove it from the device.
    The logic here is that only the creator of the event invitation can edit the event details, so that if they do that, all of the recipients of the invitation will get the updated information automatically. I agree it leaves a lot to be desired to stick things on people's calendars that they can't at the very least just simply delete if not edit. I will no longer accept invitations directly on my device in order to avoid this. I will add the event to my calendar manually from now on.

  • Duplicate songs in iTunes Match

    I've seen a few threads on this, but no results, and I've got a few details to add.
    After I sync'd up iTunes Match there is one album in particular (possibly more) that has 5 tracks that were duplicated. This is an album that I have recently purchased from iTunes. They are only duplicated on my iPhone, the album looks fine in iTunes. When I delete the duplicate song on my iPhone it stays available, just with a cloud next to it.
    Here's the big key I think: When I delete the album from iTunes and select to delete from iCloud as well, those same 5 songs will still show on my iPhone. They've got the cloud next to them, but it won't let you download them or play them. If I add the album back into iTunes I get the same problem as before.
    Hopefully these details help, any ideas are more than welcome.

    Don't know if this is what your talking about but I'll try.
    I had an issue where two songs showed up gray on my phone and yet they did not show up on my computer.
    I turned match off on my phone. Plugged it into the computer, clicked on the music tab under the phone name and then deleted everything off of my phone.  I unchecked music and done this until nothing showed up on the music app on my phone. 
    I then chose manually add music and add a couple of songs.
    I then turned match back on, on the phone and the greys songs are gone.
    Don't know if that helps.
    My first suggestion is to turn match off and let it take everything off of your phone.  Then turn it back on.

  • Converting to MP3 without showing duplicate songs in iTunes?

    I have a decent song collection on my MBP which I've imported direct from CDs over the years. I've always imported the files in a lossless format (pretty sure its AIFF from memory) but now I want to convert several of the tracks to MP3 so I can fit more tracks on my iPhone and also so I can load them onto a USB drive to be played through my car stereo (which is only compatible with MP3s)
    I am familiar with how to go about the conversion but the problem is that I don't want two copies of each track to show up in my library. I usually view my tracks by Artist which lists all artists in the left pane and all songs in the right pane with the tracks displayed under each album. When I convert to MP3 it shows both versions of the track but doesn't say which format each one is in.
    Ideally I'd like to display only the AIFF versions of the tracks. Is there any way to only show particular file types or can anyone think of a workaround?
    Unfortunately since I would be syncing my iPhone with the MP3 versions of the tracks I can't simply delete them after I've loaded them onto my phone.

    There are a couple of methods to accomplish what you want to do.
    1. Connect your iPhone to your computer via USB/Thunderbolt and in the Summary panel for the iPhone in iTunes select the option to "convert higher bit rate songs to..." This will automatically down-convert the lossless files for you without putting duplicates in the iTunes library.
    2. Use Smart Playlists to display the file types you want to see. Set it up like so:
    Additionally if you have ripped the in AIFF you might want to consider cross-converting the files to Apple Lossless. Using this script can help with the process: http://dougscripts.com/162

  • IPhone 5C: Duplicate Albums and not capitalizing Artists?

    Hello! I got my iPhone 5C for my upgrade on October 1st. My carrier is Sprint.
    I've been trying to put my music back onto my phone that was previously on my iPod Touch, but there's a slight problem. I have an album duplication problem, as well as a capitalization problem.
    As for the duplication, only one album is duplicated (I somehow fixed the other one), and it is only duplicated on my iPhone, not on iTunes. I'm positive the Artist and Album Artist are the same, as I'm a perfectionist and I want everything to be together, which is why this is bothering me so much. I've restored my iPhone 3 times and yet it's still duplicated, and I've taken the music on and off but with iOS 7 it's never really off, it just sits there and has the "Download from iCloud" button.
    Whenever I play the songs in one of the duplicated albums, it says it's playing in the other album too. But I can also go through the songs of that album and play the first song in that album, go through the entire album, and then it'll play it again as if the album is on loop, but it's really just thinking there's two of the same album.
    My capitalization problem is that for the band Blood On The Dance Floor, it thinks it's Blood On the Dance Floor. That really bothers me because that's not how it's supposed to be stylized but it won't change, even though on iTunes I have it written as Blood On The Dance Floor. Is there any way to fix this? Again, I have taken the music on and off and made sure that they're all written the way I want them to.
    Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

    In case anyone was wondering - I finally sorted this issue.
    In iTunes, some of the files within the album had data input in some of the 'sort by' fields of the 'sorting' tab on their info - this led to the duplicate albums appearing in our phones - deleted the sorting data and voila, problem solved

  • IOS 5 and duplicate album issue.

    I have an iPod Touch 4 64gb.  After upgrading to iOS 5, I have a few albums that are now duplicated in the iPod music player*.  When it's connected to iTunes, there are no duplcate albums in the music list; it's got exactly what I have on the syncing computer. While the iPod had iOS 4, it didn't have any of these duplicate album issues.
    The iPod was 'reset' after upgrading the OS, so everything was freshly synced.  Also, I made sure that all the album information (artist, etc) was entered via selecting the whole album and using the 'get info' to enter it into all the tracks simulnateously, so there aren't any extra spaces in some tracks that might cause the software to see them as 'different albums' somehow.
    I've also deleted the offending albums by using the 'sync manually' option, then reloading them onto the iPod, which then brings back the duplicate albums on the iPod (even though, again, the music list in iTunes shows the iPod as only having one copy).  And, if I start playing one track on one of the duplicates, pause it, go to the same track on the other duplicate, it picks up exactly where it paused on the first - so, again, its not actually duplicating tracks, justs the specific album particulars.
    Just to reiterate: There were no duplicate entries in the iPod music app under iOS 4.  I didn't change any album info before updating.  The duplicate entries only started showing up after updating to iOS 5.
    *The duplicate albums seem to have a missing track (with one having 3 missing tracks).  Again, I made sure to enter all the album information with all tracks highlit so they all got the exact same informaiton without spaces, extra characters, etc.

    Okay, I solved this issue as far as my iPod is concerned.
    I decided to re-rip one of the album sets having the issue (I wanted it as lossless on my PC anyway, so it was due).  Once it was ripped, I noticed that one of the tracks on the albums in the set was separated in iTunes, even though I'd made sure that the artist and album name were set using Get Info on all the tracks simultaniously.  Apparently, each of the tracks on the album was marked as part of a compellation (even though only 1 of the 8 tracks had its own entry in the cover carousel).  After unchecking that, it was back to one album in the carousel.  Synced to the iPod and no duplicate album anymore.
    I checked the other album having the issue and 3 of the tracks had the compellation checkmark checked.  That album did *not* have separate entries in the carousel.  After deleting those checkmarks, deleting the album from the iPod and re-syncing, it now shows up properly.
    So, in my case, it seemed that errant compilation entries was the issue, which is odd anyway, because I didn't check that at all.  It must have come from the album ID when they were ripped for some reason.

  • HT2905 how do I remove my original album from iTunes?

    How do I remove an original album I posted on iTunes to sell? It is my copyrighted album and I want to take it down off of iTunes. Greg

    Hi Gregory,
    Glad I found your question which is the same as mine.
    Since Tunecore recently added my album automatically to all the digital sellers they use, there is a duplicate of my album on iTunes side by side with my original independant listing of the same album, several years ago.
    It looks inept, and has a different price.
    To see the duplicates, search Harrogate album by Mary Kelley:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/harrogate/id266460470
    The specific problem for me is looking in vain for a way to contact iTunes support for content providers, not for consumers of the iTunes content.
    I have repeatedly hit the Wall which is iTunes support.
    I had four email exchanges in which the Apple iTunes Customer Support kept sending me the wrong replies, i.e., how to deal with a problem with my iTunes purchases, as a consumer not a content provider, a seller.
    For the first time as a loyal Mac/Apple user, I suspect the rep is not particularly human.
    Today, I have realized that  I'm going to have to call endless iTunes phone numbers, hopefully to speak with someone in Customer Support who actually knows something about our problem
    It's possible that my problem is something I have to resolve with Tunecore. Being a newbie - I've only added one single since adding the album - Tunecore has only responded with automated replies which seem to say "Not Tunecore's problem. Contact iTunes."
    If you've had any progress with this issue, please let me know.
    Your comrade,
    Mary Kelley
    P.S. Here's the single, for your consideration, not related to our issue:

  • Ipod duplicates albums. All the same artist, same everything. How can I fix this?

    Ipod duplicates albums. All the same artist, same everything. How can I fix this?
    All the details are the same. In my itunes library it shows as ONE whole album. When I import it to my ipod classic 160 gb it duplicates it about 4 times; it's quite irritating. It does that for 2 albums in particular and I have no idea why. Please help! Thank you.

  • How to erase duplicate albums from my iPod touch

    After syncing to my iPod Touch, I notice that some of the albums are on the device twice yet they are not on the iTunes library twice. How do I erase duplicate albums from my iPod?

    Open the music app on you device, go to the album section, swipe over the album you want to erase and hit "delete", just like you do when deleting mails.
