Duplicate songs that won't go away

I have duplicate songs on my iphone.  I delete them off my phone, but every time I sync my phone, despite the duplicates not showing up in my library, they are always synced back onto my phone. How do I stop this?  This started after I attempted to move my library from my Windows PC to my new Mac. Now, no matter which I sync it to, the songs always reappear. Both computers/itunes are authorized and have the same musical contents.

Did you purchase the song on iTunes? If you did I think I just found a fix, this was happening to me as well.

  • Duplicate songs that won't play?

    I downloaded 4 songs today; 3 of them came with duplicates (on the ipod only, there are no duplicates on itunes) and neither copy of those duplicates will play. For a while after I bought the songs none of my music would play, but after I reset it all of the songs will play except the three I bought today that have the duplicates. My itunes is fine - only one copy of each song, and they will pla with no problem. I have reset my iPod, updates iTunes, and the problem is still there. Anybody know what I could do?

    Okay so now sometimes the songs will play, it will start really long time after I've tried to get it to play and there is no way to pause it other than to shut off the ipod.
    Also, it won't let me delete the duplicate songs on my ipod with the swipe either.

  • Duplicated songs that won't go away?

    I have an iPhone 5c that's updated to the latest version of ios.
    I have a lot of songs that are duplicated on my phone. The weird thing is that none of the duplicates are on itunes, the doubles only exist on my phone (a lot of them have the little cloud download icon next to them). I'd wager at least 75% of my songs were duplicated and like I said even though iTunes doesn't register the doubles it still ea

    First go into settings, Itunes and App store,  sign out and then sign in again! (This might not work)

  • Have a number badge in settings that won't go away and there are no updates that need to be done.  Help!!!

    On my settings, there is a number one (red) that won't go away.  There are no updates that need to be done.

    Maybe you should try updating 5.1.1 from iTunes? Because I had the same thing and it was 5.0.1.

  • When I try to go to the app store, I have a popup for a game that won't go away.  I can't get it off the screen. Suggestions?

    When I try to go to the app store, I have a popup for a free game that won't go away.  I can't get into the app store.

    This happened to me twice lately.  I finally got around it by double tapping the home key to go back to the homepage finding the app store that was running and flicked  it up to get rid of it.
    When I went back to the App Store the Popup was gone.

    I FIXED IT.
    The issue was a folder name.  For some reason, a folder was name Fersions when it should have been called Version.  I have no clue why it was named that way, but I named it correctly and the error disappeared.

  • I am having trouble downloading a whole playlist to my phone. Parts of the playlist will sync but there are still a lot of songs that won't. I have plenty of space to hold this playlist as far as I can see. Any help is appreciated.

    I am having trouble downloading a whole playlist to my phone. Parts of the playlist will sync but there are still a lot of songs that won't. I have plenty of space to hold this playlist as far as I can see. Any help is appreciated.

    I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
    And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
    And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

  • How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone but not in my itunes?

    How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone

    Hi jpere041,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can delete individual songs, artists, albums, playlists, compilations and composers from your iPhone. To delete an item, swipe across it, then tap Delete.
    This information is on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Ghost Rental in my IPOD Video Library...there's a video that I rented that won't go away...how to remove?

    I rented a video on my ipod, watched it, and now it won't go away.  I can't rewatch it either.  When I sync, it is not on the computer as far as rentals.  Can anyone help me remove this?

    See if you have enabled 'VoiceOver'…
    Open Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accessibility, select VoiceOver in the sidebar list, disable that if it is enabled. You may also see a keyboard shortcut listed there (e.g. cmd+F5), it's possible you hit that accidentally

  • Clicking sound that won't go away

    Please Help -
    I downloaded the quicktime software that enables QT to read mpeg2 videos and when I rebooted the volume window/display appeared in the middle of the screen. Now it won't go away and there is never ending clicking sound that is coming out at full volume. Plus when I go to turn it down, it automatically goes back up to full volume.
    I've booted and rebooted and nothing changes.
    Doea anyone have any suggestions

    Only other thing I can think of would be to go into the Sound prefs/setup pane and disable the connection/signal to that device before sleeping the machine. If that works, then perhaps an AppleScript or Automator script could be written to facilitate doing that before sleep, and afterwards to re-enable it when needed.
    If the Newmark device has an on/off switch, perhaps using it would be sufficient.
    You might check the Numark website, see if they have a tech support area and if so, if there has been mention of a similar problem. If there is, a solution may be posted.

  • How do I delete unauthorized songs that won't play in iTunes?

    I recently just downloaded all of my purchases I've made from my iphone, onto my itunes on my macbook.
    I've also noticed there are songs that are in dull grey writing (not the solid black) so when I click on them nothing happens, I can't delete or play them at all. So I clicked "get info" and under summary it says it's not available.
    It lists the song name, and album, and size, and whatnot.
    Except I can't do anything with it. I have duplicates of the song too, one which works (solid black, clickable, etc) and then one that doesn't do anything (grey font, can't click, can't play, can't delete, etc)
    How do I get rid of the songs/information that aren't working???
