Duplicate itunes in my ipad

I have found I now have a couple duplicates songs in my iPad.
One of them is functional and plays music, the other one when I tap it
turns over and shows the tracks, but when I tap the track, nothing happens.
These duplicates are from songs I have purchased from iTunes.
The ones with music that will play, I can press on the icon and the little
"X" appears for me to delete it, but those that are mute (don't play the music
tracks) I can press on them, but the little "X" in the corner does not appear.
Is there a way to delete the "non playing" icons?

I've read about the duplite files online, I'll have to give that a try when I return home...

  • Duplicates seen only on iPad's iPod but NOT on syncing windows XP laptop...

    Okay, first I hope all are well! My problem has been sent to Applecare - this has happened to me three times. Only once did Applecare help solve this. I cannot remember the procedure that this wonderful tech walked me through but I know it did not involve the Restore option.
    To clarify the problem: I cannot use the normal find duplicates procedure, for the dupe only can be seen on the iiPad's iPod screen - that screen in which you touch the screen for your music selection. My iTunes on my windows xp laptop does not display the duplicate nor does it allow me to select the Find Duplicate button!
    The laptop only displays that song and not it's dupe.
    My solution was to delete the tunes involved from my laptop and resync! Of course I lost the songs and had the choice to repurchase the lost tunes! It is not really a problem now, for it only involves one tune but have been hit with 8 duplicates earlier in my iPad's history.
    Again, thank you for your time and help!

    Okay, I am going to answer my own question...Apple Care Support are made up of GREAT people!! It is 4am here in Hawaii and though the site was having problems all my retry(s) were answered by Apple techs!!! I was contacted and talked to by 3 different reps!!! Each one was professional and very cordial! I felt bad imposing on them.
    What happened was that I did not really sync up my iPad from day one. Somehow my purchases were not being downloaded properly resulting in the above. I was initially thought that I would have to do a intense Restore but was walked through a procedure checking that my XP laptop was Authorized, etc. In short it is worthwhile to have Applecare!!!
    I was saving for a "souped up" Lenovo W series laptop but will go with Apple product! These people made my day. I might get only 3 hrs of sleep but it is nothing compared to the peace of mind they bought me!! THANK YOU APPLE! Jobs, these people make up for any shortcomings the hardware have!
    Goodnight/morning to all!

  • TS4118 How do you get rid of duplicate calendar events on iPad?

    I just synced my iPad with my MacBook (which I do all the time) but this time, it resulted  in duplicating all my iPad calendar events (events do not appear as duplicates on my MacBook).  This happened immediately after I enabled iCloud syncing of my calendar.  I have now disabled Icloud syncing and I just synced my iPad with my MacBook again.  The events are still appearing in duplicate on my iPad.

    iTunes settings for iPad and iPhone are independent.  If your iPhone doesn't have duplicate entries, check your settings when plugged into iTunes, then use the same settings for your iPad.  But, it really sounds as if you've simply enabled calendar syncing directly from your Mac when it's plugged into iTunes.  This will then update your iPad's calendar with whatever's in your Desktop calendar when you plug it in to iTunes.  Uncheck this setting in iTunes when you next have your iPad plugged in to sync, and the duplicates should disappear, leaving only those events pulled down from MobileMe.  The plug in sync option is for people who don't use MobileMe.

  • ITunes not syncing App layout or folders to iPad (iTunes 10.1/iPad 4.2.1

    I eagerly awaited 4.2.1 to finally put my apps into folders on my iPad. I have nearly 300 apps which are unorganized, many not accessible from the standard iPad screens since they go beyond the 11 app pages.
    I spent a bunch of time making folders and organizing this mess using the brand new iTunes 10.1, iPad 4.2.1 and on my Apply / Sync, ALL of the time customizing was lost -- none of the folders appeared on the Ipad after the sync.
    I tried even moving 1 app from another screen, and it didn't sync over.
    I then made a couple folders on the iPad directly, and when reconnected to iTunes, I see these folders. Any subsequent alterations made on iTunes don't sync over.
    I wonder if this is related to going over my 11th screen limit?
    I dread dealing with all of these using only the iPad. I know it’s a lot of apps, but that's what folders are for!
    Anyone else not getting iTunes to sync folders/app arrangements with iTunes 10.1 and iPad 4.2.1?

    I have this issue as well. I have an iPhone 3G 16GB, just updated to the latest iTunes and 4.2.1 firmware. I'm on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I've spend like 1,5 hours total reorganizing apps, all for nothing.

  • Using iTunes and the iPad in the classroom

    One of the schools that I support in our school district recently purchased two iPads.  We need to establish iTunes accounts that do not have a payment method associated with them.  We have setup the devices and are looking forward to downloading FREE apps from the iTunes store.  We have attempted to create our Apple ID in two different manners:
    1.  Go directly to iTunes on the iPad and select a free app.  Click download.  Prompted to setup an account.  Was not presented with the "none" option for payment.
    2.  Went directly into the iPad settings to "iTunes and App Store."  Again, no "none" option for payment.
    Our department does not have access to a credit card nor a gift card due to funding.  I would appreciate any help that the iTunes department can provide to me about how to properly setup these iPads so that our students can utilize them in the classroom.
    Regards,
    Matt

    Greetings fcit@!A,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to select none as your payment type. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Mario

  • How do i connect to itunes with my ipad 2

    I cant see where to open an itunes account to download tunes.once ive done that how do i get these tunes from my ipad to ipad nano?

    You don't get them from an ipad to an ipod.
    Both the ipod and ipad sync to your computer.
    I do not understand your question.  if you want to purchase music, then tap itunes on your ipad, find the song you want, buy it.

    Hi Divine Inspiration,
    You wouldn't connect the iPod to the iPad for data transfers. Music is stored and shared either through a computer or iCloud.
    This article gives an overview of moving music and data off the iPad.

    i purchased 2 books for my iPad and they downloaded successfully.  They show up in iTunes when my iPad is connected to my Mac but do not show up on the Mac.  Is this a synch issue?  When I click the Synch box I am warned that downloads on my iPad will be erased.  Is that true?  My ultimate goad is to be able to read the books on my iPhone as well.  Thanks.

    You should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the iPhone (or you could re-download them directly on the iPhone)

  • I have purchased songs from itunes on my ipad but now they are not there anymore. How can they get them back? Dont come up in songs not on this ipad and in itunes it asks to buy again

    I have purchased songs from itunes on my ipad but now they are not there anymore. How can they get them back? Dont come up in songs not on this ipad and in itunes it asks to buy again

    If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
    Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
    Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

    I have downloaded 2 movies from itunes to my ipad 2, but they are not showing up in itunes.  where can i find them?

    Tap the Videos app and tap the movies button at the top of the page.
    The iTunes app on your iPad is just a conduit to the iTunes Store.  To play your purchases, use the iPod app or the Videos app.

  • I rented and downloaded two movies from iTunes via my iPad. They show up as purchased in items but won't play. They do not show up in iPad visor app at all. Any ideas on what happened and how to fix are welcome. Thanks

    I rented two movies from iTunes using my iPad. They show us as purchased but will not run from there. I get a message saying I have 24hours to watch then it just goes back to iTunes. I looked in video app where they usually go and nothing is there. Any ideas for a fix are welcome?
    Thanks

    You did try tapping on one of them in that list in the iPod app! This has happened to me and I was able to start the movie from there. You could try restarting the iPad, go into the iPod app and try again.
    Now I'm stumped unless it is a corrupt download. You did download right onto the iPad - correct? If you downloaded in iTunes, there is a Move tab or function that you have to select to transfer the movies to the iPad when you sync. They just don't sync over without selecting move.

  • I connect my iPad to my PC and open iTunes, but the iPad does not show up in sidebar.  I want to sync. How do I do it?

    I have my PC on, then plug in my iPad (which is on) and open iTunes.  The iPad does not show up in the sidebar.  How do you get it to show up so that I can select the iPad and then configure the sync settings in each of the settings panes....hoping that these actually show up.
    In the manual it says "log in to your computer user account before connecting iPad".  I am the only user of this PC...does this mean some other user account.  I am confused.  I need "baby steps" to tell me how to do all this....very senior and just learning about this wonderful machine. I will very much appreciate your help.

    If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that.  If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar.  Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it.  If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
    If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

  • I rented Argo in iTunes on my iPad, it downloaded, yet it does not show up in my library.

    I rented Argo in iTunes on my iPad, it downloaded, yet it does not show up in my library. I have the most updated version of iTunes on my laptop and Apple TV. I logged onto my computer (Windows) and tried renting it again, iTunes store told me 'you have already rented this movie'. Is there an issue with rentals today? Help!

    Roaminggnome - Thanks for your reply, you made my day! This is my first time renting a video, so I didn't realize you had to go into a different app to watch it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend

  • HT201667 I rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it.  Is there any way around this?

    I  rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it.  Is there any way around this?

    The issue was that a dialogue box came up which said that I couldn't play this movie on another device.  I tried playing the same movie on an Tv with an HDMI connection attached to an adapter to the IPad and that worked.  I wonder if the problem is that the digital projector has a VGA connection.
