Duplicate Songs Displayed (Second Shown Hidden or in Phantom, and is not selectable)

How do I remove duplicate song listings from my iPod 4?  I have several hundred Music Video songs installed but 6 of them have double listings.  The second listing is dimmed (phanton outlined) and is unselectable and can not be deleted.   My collection on my host computer does not show these duplcated songs, under iTunes.  Re syncing with iTunes does not fix this issue.  The other displayed Music Video song plays fine.  I have the latest software installed on the iPod from iTunes.  And the latest iTunes software installed.   Sincerely,  David

Hi, I have the same issue. I purchased a song from iTunes then synced on the iPod. There were 2 copies of the same song - one with artwork, one without. Neither would play so I tried to remove them but could not redone the one without artwork. This track will not play and causes a delay before subsequent songs. There is no option to delete it from the iPod directly by swiping as can do to other songs. Basically I can't get it off the iPod by any means! Please help!!!

  • HT2905 My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list.

    'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.
    Click an audiobook once to select it and hit command-i (Mac) or control-i (Windows). Go to the 'Options' tab and set 'Media Kind' to 'Audiobook'.

  • How do I delete duplicate songs in my iTunes? I have hundreds and I don't want to delete them one by one. They were all added on the same date, so sorting by the date won't help.

    Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
    Click File
    Scroll down to "show duplicates"
    A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
    Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
    Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
    Best of luck,

  • I am trying to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. Please help me..

    I am trying to transfer songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. I also want to transfer the songs I have back in to iTunes. My hard drive went out on my computer and I lost all of my songs, except for on my iPod. I have an iPhone as well and did an update and it wiped out all of my songs. Someone please help me.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for just such an occasion.  use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • The songs on the iPod on Itunes are grey and can not be changed while in the library are ok, what happen?

    the songs on the iPod on Itunes are grey and can not be changed while in the library are ok, what happen?

    Connect the device to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select iPhone, iPad, or iPod in the Devices list.
    Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos".
    Click Apply.
    Even when you have enabled manual management, you can still sync some content automatically. Select any content tab, such as Video, to enable automatic syncing for that type of content.

  • I have duplicate songs displaying on my Ipod but not in my library.

    I have an Ipod Touch, Itunes 10.5.33. I have duplicate songs showing up on my Touch, however, there are no duplicate songs in my library on my pc. as best as I can tell at this point, these duplicate songs on my Touch are purchased songs and I have only purchased them once. any ideas as to how to get rid of the duplicate entries on my Ipod?

    I had this problem too. You just have to plug in your iPod to your computer. On the summary, there is a box that says "Manually manage music and videos". Uncheck that box. You now can add and remove music to your iPod without iTunes forcing anything. This also means that checks next to songs in your iTunes Library mean nothying while you are in that mode for that device (if this pressures you, you can re-check that box later). ANYWAY! So once you uncheck that box and click "Apply" in the lower right corner, you then open the drop down menu on your iPod's name on the sidebar and click music. This is a list of all of the music on your device. You now simply delete all of the doubles (this won't delete the songs from your iTunes Library. Your iPod will sync every time you delete a song. Once completed and you see no doubles on the list, you have the option to re-check the box with the automatic downloads (if you want) and your doubles will be GONE GONE GONE!
    Thank you for choosing Apple.

  • VmWare Display settings for guest OS Win7 Pro and others not saving

    Mid-2014 MBP 15" with Retina, Intel iris Pro, 16GB, 512SSD.  Running vmWare 7.1.2 on Yosemite 10.1.2:
    - Win7 Pro VM setup with 8GB, 2 'cores', 128GB SSD.
    - the Display settings for the Win7 Pro guest won't persist when switching to and from Mac desktop
    - Doesn't matter if Full Screen or in Window, it defaults to 1140 x 900 or something like that, and will not keep settings made after Full Screen is selected
    - Having done some research before coming here: I have uninstalled and re-installed vmTools. I have tried it with 'Use Full Retina Display' setting in vmWare guest settings, doesn't make a difference other than the default size is either the maximum Retina resolution for the Win7 Pro desktop or the 1440x900 default when the 'Use Retina..' setting is set.
    - Apparently this is an Apple bug with Retina MBP and not vmWare, according to vmWare.  ;}
    Thought, suggestions, other?
    Thanks folks!

    Now having worked with VMware support.  Here's the fix for anyone experiencing this problem on a rMBP with Fusion 7.x and running Win7Pro or others as guests, that are not retaining the display settings when either rebooting the guest, pausing the guest or switching between the Mac desktop and the GuestOS desktop.
    1. Find a file named WMwareResolutionSet it can be located under ProgramFiles or ProgramFile(x86)-->VMware-->VMware Tools-->
    2. Move, do not copy, this file out of this directory, onto your Desktop
    3. Restart the Guest
    4. Whatever resolution settings you have set, should now be retained
    This assumes you have already UN-checked 'Use Full Resolution..' Retina display checkbox in VMware Settings-->Display.

  • I can no longer find songs on itunes.  Want to revert back and company not responding to my angry commentary.  Please help.

    Itunes latest version makes it impossible to find the obscure songs I want.  Apple also appears to have removed the ability to sort according to different columns like popularity, artist, album, song length, etc.  Please help me find a way to find the songs I'm looking for.  I am a heavy purchaser of content thru itunes and have been since my second generation ipod purchase.  I find the removal of the easy way to find new music exasperating.  If this is driven by the labels, then you guys need to go back to them and demand a reversion to the old ways.

    Update:  After having problems playing audio and video using several different browsers and apps, I realized that the problem was probably not iTunes or Apple related.  I rebooted several times, to no avail, but the last reboot inexplicably seemed to do the trick.  Everything is working OK again, at least for now.  Weird but I'll take it!

  • YouTube web page displays left justified in a fixed font and will not play videos.

    Firefox 3.6.13/Vista. It worked yesterday. System restore did not help. The page displays properly in I/E and also in Firefox on my XP based computer. I checked for plug-in updates and also tried to disable them to no avail.

    There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

  • Ipod 4th home button take 10 second to respond to any touch and does not respond other times HELP

    I have been trying for days to get my home button to work it take about 10 seconds or at least 3 click to get it to respond what do i do????

    i had the same thing happen to mine.  figured it was shot - but i found the ops manual online and read about 're-setting' it.  it involved holding down the left & right <<&>> buttons, with yoiur thumbnails, while the ipod lays on a hard surface.  i had to go thru the steps a couple or 3 times, but it did finally work perfectly and has been working fine for months since!  good luck -

  • The scrolling has been weird the type bar has shown up on the websites and is not allowing me to scroll correctly.

    For some reason the type bar shows up on websites and it's not allowing me to use scroll correctly up and down the page. It does this to every website. However, when I switched to another browser it does not happen.

    Wow it was really that simple... Thank you very much!

  • I need a script that can delete duplicate songs within iTunesMedia but not shown on iTunes GUI

    I copied entire music in itunes library A and paste it in itunes library B. I subsequently experimented with import playlist and import .XML files of itunes library A to itunes library B. I notice songs in music folder have been duplicated i.e. the gigabyte of music folder greated than gigabyte shown on itunes GUI.
    Wow, I never knew importing .XML file (through import playlist) will import the songs, the metadata, the artwork and the entire playlist which i never created in the first place (I dont know what else had been imported).
    Anyway, the songs are not duplicated on the iTunes GUI. They are duplicated within iTunesMedia\Music... folders. Can someone provide me a Script to delete these approx. 100GB duplicates. The DeDuper Script I have can only delete duplicate songs displayed on iTunes GUI.
    Thanks for your help as usual.

    The script is only intended to work on things that iTunes would treat as "Exact Duplicates" and it only works on files that are connected to the iTunes library. Before starting all files in your media folders should be added to the iTunes library.
    In the context of the earlier thread, type 1 or logical duplicates are multiple entries to the same file and type 2 or physical duplicates are multiple copies of the same file. Type 2 dupes will have identical tag information (at least they will unless you edit one of them) and the same file size so will thus display as "Exact Duplicates" if present.
    The script avoids the more complex problem of trying to detect and selectively remove what I called type 3 duplicates, that is alternate recordings or rips of the same tune, principally because that is a much harder problem to automate, but also because "best track to keep" from a set of potential candiates will be a subjective matter.
    The current version of the DeDuper script is 1.0.1.2 dated 2nd December 2011. I've just downloaded and run it on a test library. I had 35 tracks that I first duplicated by copying the Music folder into Automatically Add to iTunes. I then renamed Music as Music1, selected each file in turn so that iTunes would "know" the files were missing, renamed the folder back to Music and then dragged & dropped the folder into the library. This created a library of 140 tracks, 35 originals, 35 physical dupes and 70 logical dupes . The script ran as designed and reduced the library back down to 35 tracks with the 35 physical dupes being sent to the recycle bin.

  • DELETING DUPLICATE SONGS - PALM PRE

    I am unable to delete duplicate songs on my Palm Pre music files. I'm not even sure how the duplicate songs showed up in my files.  I have tried everything. I use I tunes &  I have set all audio defaults to Itunes. I also use the Palm Music Assistant.   I have called Palm and Sprint support. Both have told me to "right" gesture to delete but the songs come right back.  I have also deleted duplicates in the I tunes music player (file) but it has no effect on the Pre's music files.  Has anyone experienced this problem?  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks. 
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I asked someone at Palm to take a look at this issue. It's new to me. It makes me wonder if you perhaps have two processes synchronzing media to the Pre - do you use MissingSync and iTunes on a Mac perchance?

  • Remove Duplicate Songs

    All,
    If you are using iTunes app to remove duplicate songs, it is a pain in the neck and it will not remove physical files from your music folder.
    I have so many problem over the years and bought so many apps and none work like it supposed to work. You can't fix the problem in iTunes app any other Music management app, you have to fix the problem at the source and the source is in your music folders, not iTunes app or any other apps.  So I have just designed this app: RDS - Remove Duplicate Songs to do just that.  Don't waste your money spending 10-20 dollars.  Go here and give it a try.  Fix problem at the source:  http://thezoovninc.com/Apps.php?AppName=MusicCleanup

    this may take a while, but just go to the view menu and click on the "show duplicates" (http://text2go.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/itunes-show-equalizer.jpg) and then sort by name. after doing that, just go one by one and delete the duplicates, but make sure NOT to erase everything because you will delete all the songs that are duplicated.
    let me know how it turns out.

  • I have 2 accounts in my family and would like to purchase some of the same songs for both accounts, however when I try to purchase a duplicate song from the second account the song says play instead of purchase. How can I get some of the same songs?
