Every itunes song is shown twice- not in itunes, but on macintosh HD

for example, one song is shown twice. when i click it and it shows where it is, one says:
music folder-itunes-itunes music-nelly-wadsyaname single-wadsyaname
the other:
music foler-itunes-nelly-wadsyname single-wadsyaname
do i need both files, or is one the one i'm using and the other im not?

You one need one. By default iTunes will copy files to the ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/ folder when you import songs. Select the song in iTunes and do a Reveal in Finder (command-R). This will reveal the file you should keep.

HT2105 When you get a apple receipt for itunes songs and you paid with a itunes gift card do they charge you or give you store credit what's store credit is it good or bad or does it charge you if you have a free account with no credit cards at all is it

When you get a apple receipt for itunes songs and you paid with a itunes gift card do they charge you or give you store credit what's store credit is it good or bad or does it charge you if you have a free account with no credit cards at all is it bad?

iTunes credits are, for example, if you download a song from the store and it's found to be corrupt - if the track can't be fixed then iTunes support will tend to give you a song credit for a free download.
When you purchase music from the store then any credits that you have will be used first, then any balance that you have (e.g. from iTunes gift cards or allowances), and any remaining amount will be taken from your credit card.

Deleting songs from hard driive not in iTunes library with iTunes 10

I have multiple user profiles on my computer so in order to prevent loss of hard drive space from duplicate songs we keep all our music in 1 folder and tell itunes not to copy songs when importing. The problem I have now is that any time a song has to be deleted within itunes I'm not asked if I want to move that actual song to the trash. I understand that's because it's not actually in the itunes media folder but I was hoping if someone knew of a way that itunes can actually manage the music files even though they're not in the media folder? I guess you can say I'm being lazy but I hate going out of itunes, locating the file, dragging it to the trash, and then emptying the trash (what man likes taking the garbage out?). I would love it if there was an easy way to have iTunes do it all for me like before.
Thanks for any and all assistance!

Check your iTunes preferences before deciding to delete anything. Go to Edit Preferences>Advanced and make sure that the box "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is checked. If it is then iTunes has been copying your files as you added them and it's safe to delete the originals. If it's not checked then only a reference to the song location has been added and you need to keep the original file in place.

Songs in Library are Not in iTunes Music Folder

I just had to Re-create my iTunes Library, which took quite some time since each song had to be selected individually and imported (per the instructions). Anyway, I have the box checked in Edit>Preferences>Advanced to automatically Copy Songs in Libary to the iTunes Music Folder; however, I just purchased two new songs and when I went to the ITMF to check to see if they were there neither the artists nor the songs are there. I then tried to add them manually by clicking on Add File to Library, but that did not add them to the iTunes Music Folder.
If anyone knows what I need to do and why iTunes is not automatically adding the new songs to the iTunes Music Folder, please let me know how to fix this.
Thanks.

Yes, itunes just sets a pointer to the Windows files in its ITL database.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
If you have itunes preference to copy files to your itunes music folder, then it does copy them there and you might now have two copies of the same song. But itunes will probably be using the copy in the itunes music folder.

Using snow leopard on a mac desktop. Itunes states that this copy of itunes is corrupted or is no installed correctly. Need help.

Try installing (not updating) iTunes (from scratch).

Got a new lap top my husband wanted to help me by downloading itunes on it I have not used icloud but do have it on my phone When he pugged it in it asked if he wanted to backup he said yes Then reset my phone now all my pictures are gone please help

I got a new lap top and my husband thought it would be a good idea to help me by downloading itunes on it. Well Not so much... I have not used icloud but do have it on my phone and other items. When he pugged my phone in to my laptop it asked if he wanted to backup he said yes. Then it reset my phone and now all my pictures are gone please help

If your phone was backed up to your computer, the backup would contain your camera roll photos (and videos). Restoring to this backup would recover them. However, if it was backed up a second time after losing them, this would overwrite the backup containing the data and your photos would be lost.
You can try restoring to your backup, but before doing so go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". This will prevent the phone from automatically syncing and backing up when you connect it to your computer, thereby overwriting the backup you want to restore to. After doing this, open iTunes on your computer and connect your phone, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side of iTunes and choose Restore from Backup. (If you have iTunes 11 first go to View>Show Sidebar.)
Again this might work, as long as the phone was only backed up and then not subsequently backed up again after the photos were lost.

Following an upgrade to Itunes 11 my computer is not commecting iTunes to my devices. Thus can not sync

I can not get iTunes to see my devices

Hi sandraUU,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If iTunes doesn't recognize your devices, this article may help:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If issues persist, a thorough removal and reinstall of iTunes would be the next thing to try:

Number of Songs on iPod does not match iTunes

I am showing 2110 songs in iTunes, but only 2093 on my iPod. What would cause this? All songs are checked to sync & the sync settings are set to all songs and playlists. Any help would be appreciated.

I have exactly the same problem and asked a similar question earlier today. totally toastin replied:
