Duplicate Artists and Titles problem ipod w video

Hi all, I haven't seen this problem listed and I went back 6 pages. I've noticed that there are a lot of artists that are listed twice in my ipod, but songs are listed once. For example, I xfered a cd into itunes, and then highlighted and drug it to my ipod. Well in itunes, everything looks fine, as in the artist is listed only once and all the songs are there. But on my ipod the artist is listed twice, and 1 heading will have 1 song by the artist that was added at the same time as the others, and the other same artist heading will have the rest of the songs on the CD. This so far has happend for CDs as wells as downloaded music frm the net.
Another question...is there anyway to access itunes store w/o downloading the software (like a web version or something?) B/c I'm online at work and cant download the software here, but want to poke around and see what they have for sale there.
Thanks!

The artist are normally listed twice if you have included a break after the artist name on some songs. In iTunes, try to highlight all songs by the artist that comes up twice and then right click and choose show info. The put in the artist name and nothing else for the multiple songs. Next time you update your iPod it should come out right.

Music Video Artwork, Album Artist and Other Problems

hi I've got a few problems with my G4 Nano and was wondering if any of you guys would know what to do.
firstly the music video problem. Some album's come with a music video for one of the songs, normally at the end, but on my nano, it puts the music videos first and uses their art instead of the album art. Now the funny thing is, is that if you click them in music it shows the art and plays the audio like any other track, you can only see it the right way under video>music Video. Is there anyway to put them at the end so correct art is shown?
And then recently I bought Good Girl Gone Bad:Reloaded by rihanna from the itunes store which has a track by Maroon 5 in which she features. In cover flow (on my ipod) it has the album twice. Once with Maroon 5 as the artist and once with Rihanna. Both have the full album.
And thirdly I have some CD's I've ripped to itunes that have featuring artists, and when I add them to my ipod is says they are various artists. any way to put them under the actual artist?
Yeah there is a lot. Any help with any of these is extremely appreiciated. not because it hinders my listening to them, i can work around it all, but it's just annoying for obvious reasons. I have to say it's kind of funny that most of my problems are to do with stuff from the iTunes Music Store.
Thanks

oh this seems to have sunk through the pages. Anyone have any idea about even one of these problems?

Duplicate artists appearing on my ipod

I'm getting the same artist appearing five times under my ipod Artist menu. Whichever one of these I select I get the same identical full catalogue of tunes for that given artist that I have stored on my ipod. I've reinstalled itunes, I've restored my ipod but nothing sorts this problem. I've also tried deleting the relevant tracks from itunes and then adding them again but this does not resolve the issue. Has anybody else experienced this phenomena? It only happened for the first time yesterday and is a bit mysterious.

You need to make sure the artist name is spelt in an identical manner on every track. Even an extra space at the end of the name that you might not notice can make a difference. Try this even if everything looks the same. Sort your iTunes library by artist to bring your tracks together. Click on the first track by your artist, hold down the shift key and click on the last track in the list, this will highlight all in between. Right click on the list and choose Get Info, you get a dialogue box asking if you want to update multiple items, click Yes and then the Info tab. Overtype the artist name then click ok and this will ensure the whole selection is identical. Once you've done this connect your iPod, if you are updating automatically it will pick up the changes.

The Videos are showed up front 4 months, but now they are no longer to be seen. When you star a video first the hard drive starts, but then it stops and hangs up. I have to restart it, starting with the apple logo....

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

How do I fix my problem with Artist and Sort Artist?

I have all my songs sorted by Artist and because I have songs that feature other artists I use the sort artist field.
In itunes it all looks fine but when I sync it with my iPod Nano 5th Gen one of the artists names comes up as the artist for all songs.
Eg. I have 5 B.o.B songs.The Artist field has B.o.B and the featured artist so it looks like -B.o.B feat. Hayley Williams-. The sort artist field along with album artist and sort album artist field are all only B.o.B.
My problem is that when I sync them onto my iPod all the songs by B.o.B appear under B.o.B feat. Rivers Cumo when I sort by Artist despite this only being the artist for one and all listed with the same format as above. They all also come up with the Artist as B.o.B feat. River Cumo when I play one of the songs.
Is there anyway to fix this so on my iPod they all appear under B.o.B when sorting by Artist but when I play the song it gives me the artist name? I'd prefer not to have to put the featured artist in the song title.

This sometimes happens if your MacBook battery is swollen, and pushes on the underside of the trackpad.
Some users forgot that an alternate input device, like a tablet, does not shut off when set aside -- it continues to provide input at the same time as the mouse you put your hand on.

Thanks! But when I visit the site recently, I found the program was upgraded. Now it has 2 optimized output formats specially made for iPod 30G and 60G players! Thus it is easier and more convenient to use without complex settings as other software. Try it at http://www.imtoo.com/downloads/dvd-to-ipod.converter.exe
Another good news: there was a new discount suite ImTOO DVD to iPod Suitethat contains both the DVD to iPod Converter and iPod Movie Converter. It saves newly $20! Hope this can do some help

Compilations and various artists- Playing order on iPod

Hi everyone.
I have a two-fold problem with my iPod Classic 160 GB:
I have several compilations of various artists that I grouped by "Artist"- being the title of the album (so it will show up in Albums), and the "Album Artists" being the names of the respective various artists. It plays fine- i.e. in the correct order in my iTunes when my iPod is connected to my Mac, but when I play it on my iPod (not connected to my Mac), my iPod plays the songs in alphabetical order by artists.
The other problem I have is that I have several albums in which artists cover other artists. I entered the "Artist" as the artist covering the tunes (for instance Richard Cheese)- so that it shows up under Artist in my iPod setlist, and the "Album Artist" as the original artists of the songs. Again- no problem in iTunes when iPod is connected- correct order. On my iPod, it alphabetizes the songs based on artist.
Is there any way to fix that so that, under both circumstances, the songs play in the correct order, while still being able to search "Artist" as the artist covering other artists and "Album" by the name of the compilation?
Thanks in advance for any info, and hopefully the questions made sense

Artist should be the name of the recording artist of each track. *Album Artist* should have the same for a whole album, so a compilation album typically records the *Album Artist* as *Various Artists*. Most iPods group tracks on Artist instead of Album Artist which causes problems when you have guest or featured artists... All this and more explained fully at http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp

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

Duplicate Song Title problem with Zen Mi

Hello,
I have a dark blue Zen Micro and with firmware I downloaded it is now version 2..02. As part of downloading the new firmware, all the songs were erased from my player. My problem started when I was re-loading all my songs. Every time it came across a song that had the same title as a song already loaded on my player (even if the artist was different), it stopped and gave me the option to either skip this song, skip all duplicates, replace the song or replace all duplicates. No option to load onto the player anyway.
Since I happen to have a lot of songs that have the same title, but different artist, I am now missing a lot of songs on my player. When I called customer service, they told me to try re-naming the duplicates with a "2", i.e. Songtitle and Songtitle2. This didn't work, it still recognized the songs as duplicates, even with the '2', and wouldn't load them.
This never happened with the old version - I was able to load all songs with no problem and I think it only notified me when the song title AND artist matched -- and even then I had the option to load it anyway if I wanted.
Anyone know how to fix this? Ideally, I'd like to find a way to get the songs on my player without altering the song titles... Or if there is no way to fix it, anyone know how to remove this firmware and go back to the earlier version? I kind of wish I never loaded it now, even though the customer service person told me the latest firmware is always the best version to have.
Thanks in advance!

Certainly with the v firmware a duplicate is defined as having the same title, artist and album tag. If any of these differ then it isn't a duplicate... so I'm surprised you're not finding this with the MTP firmware.
It might perhaps be with the MTP firmware it can't tolerate the same filename so this is worth double checking (whereas on the v2 firmware it doesn't care).
Also triple check the tags on these supposed duplicate files using some good tagging software, that will show both the v and v2 tag.
Are these MP3 files?

All of my songs do not show up in the "Artist" list of my iPod Video

I can't figure this out and see no reference to it anywhere. On my iPod I have roughly 4,000 songs. Occassionally I think of a song I want to hear by a particular artist and when I to to Music>Artist>whoever, not ALL of their songs on my iPod will show up in the list... If I know the name of the song and go to Music>Songs>whatever, the song will be there and when I start it playing all of the info shows up as expected. If, in iTunes, I look at the "info" for the particular song (by right clicking on the song) everything appears normal and just like the other songs that DO show up. What is happening here??? It's frustrating to have to scroll through all those song titles to find one that could easily have been pulled up by the artist's name.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

This is a small...."Bug" I guess you could call it, in the ipods software where if you have songs by one artist and none of them have a album listed with them, they do not show up under "Artist".
I forgot the exact workaround, but I think its something like if you give one song by the artist a album name (By rightclicking it in iTUnes, hitting get info and selecting the info tab) all the rest of the songs will now appear under artist on the ipod

How do I fix my ipod classic that says very low batter after I have charged it and the problem persists?

I have an Ipod video 30g that says Please wait very low battery. I charged it for about a day and the problem persists. I've tried using some solutions on the internet and none of them worked including: holding the menu and select, holding select and play to put it in disk mode with no avail. Is there anyone who can help me!!!

Have you read this post written by another forum member?
The Sad iPod icon.
However, as your iPod was purchased on Boxing Day, why not get it serviced under the warranty?
You can arrange online service here.

Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

My itunes library has everything by artist name, yet when i sync my ipod to it, some songs are only visible in the song menu but not the artist menu, how do i fix this problem so that evry song is visible under the artist menu in my ipod

I bought an ipod classic and got it 2day. I have over 18000 songs on my itunes and all the songs have all the correct info. I tried syncing my ipod today and all of the songs have gone onto my ipod.
However my problem is that quite a few songs are not in the artist menu and only in the songs menu on the ipod, even though evry bit of information for the song is correct.
I would like all my songs under the artist menu on my ipod as searching through the song menu is ridiculously time consuming.
Can anyone fix my problem?

For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.
