Every music file was just doubled HELP

How do I delete all the double music files? They are even doubled in the folders. Annoying. I paciently await you wisdom.
Ipod Video   Windows XP Pro  

First just so Im clear, Are they just double listed in iTUnes alone, or are they double listed in iTUnes and the folder there in, Like "Emenim -Im real" is listed twice in the "My MUisc" folder of windows?
If there doubled in the EXACT SAME folder in windows check each ones file format. You might of converted each song so one "Emenim" is a MP3 and the other is a AAC format

  • I have the new iPhone 4s.  I'm using cloud.  I try to sync my playlists to my phone an it either erases them completely or keeps saying it cannot move all music files over?  Please help.  Also my purchased ringtones will not sync up as well.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup? 

  • In,Tunes,12,,Windows,7--I,can't,copy,and,past,artwork,in,music,files....Help,any one?

    I just want to copy and paste artwork in my music files that I have modified.  The Shift, right click on the file, and Get Info doesn't work with iTunes 12.
    Does anyone know a work around for this?

    I always advise my Contribute clients to "scrub" any Microsoft text before pasting it. You might be able to do this by changing the doc to .txt?  Hopefully that would get rid of the layout code embedded in a doc or docx document.
    However, since I don't trust anything Microsoft seems to have excess code attached, I first put it into Text Edit on my Mac and save it. Not sure what the equivalent program is on Windows. I think an email program could work just as well, Twigman. You might ask your tech how to save the MS doc so it has no code, like pure ascii text. That way, they will not have to leave Word to scrub the old code out.

    How to Adjust Mouse Settings in Mac OS X Lion
    By Bob LeVitus
    7 of 9 in Series: The Essentials of Adjusting Settings in Mac OS X Lion
    Some Mac OS X Lion users like to customize the way their mouse works. The Mouse System Preferences pane in OS X Lion is where you set your mouse speed and double-click delays.
    If you have a notebook Mac, you may see a Mouse icon in the System Preferences application, but unless you have a mouse connected via USB or Bluetooth, it will just sit there searching for a mouse that's not there.
    The first item in this pane is a check box that’s new in Mac OS X Lion: Move Content in the Direction of Finger Movement When Scrolling or Navigating. If scrolling or navigating in windows feels backward to you, try un-checking this box.
    Next are the features you’ll find in the Mouse System Preferences pane (if you have a mouse connected):
    Move the Tracking Speed slider to change the relationship between hand movement of the mouse and cursor movement on-screen.
    The Double-Click Speed setting determines how close together two clicks must be for the Mac to interpret them as a double click and not as two separate clicks.
    If your mouse has a scroll ball or scroll wheel, you also see a Scrolling Speed slider, which lets you adjust how fast the contents of a window scroll when you use the scroll wheel or ball.
    If your mouse has more than one button, you see a pair of Primary Mouse Button radio buttons. These let you choose which button you use to make your primary (regular) click. Conversely, the other mouse button (the one you didn’t choose) becomes your secondary (Control or right) click. This is a setting many lefties like to change. Set the primary button as the right button, and you can click with the index finger of your left hand.

  • Music files too big? help

    i have a 4 gb nano and i have only put 556 songs on it and its basically full (56.1 mb free)... i assume this has something to do with the size of the music files... how big should each mp3 be and how do i convert the music i already have put into itunes/my ipod?

    The advertised song capacity of any of the iPods is a calculation based on 4 minute songs encoded in AAC format at a bit rate of 128 kbps. Longer songs and songs encoded at a higher bitrate or in uncompressed formats take up more space. If for example you imported full size, uncompressed CD files or WAV files you would get significantly fewer on. What format are the songs you have imported? Go to iTunes and right click on one of your songs, choose Get Info>Summary and look at "Kind" to see what format you are using: iTunes: About import settings and hard disk space
    If you have imported uncompressed files they can be converted in iTunes, have a read of these articles:

  • I quit my iTunes and reopened it and all of my playlists and songs were missing. How do I get everything back the way it was without having to start from scratch? I have all my music files I just do not want to have to make new playlists and everything.

    My iPod still has all my music and playlists on it too. WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?

    Not sure. Did you open an alternate iTunes library? See here for how to navigate to and open an alternate iTunes library file, which hopefully still exists on your PC containing all your library information and such.

  • How can I get EVERY music file on my iPod onto my new Mac, not just the songs purchased off of the iTunes store?

    So I've got an iPod classic with songs on it from the iTunes store, from CDs of my own, from free online playlists, etc. and when I plug it into my new Mac laptop the only songs that show up on iTunes are the ones I actually purchased in the iTunes store with my old computer (not a Mac). How can I copy ALL the music on my iPod onto my new Mac?

  • HT1349 I have a sony Vaio (VGN-NS190J).  Recently, my I tunes library does not stay in I tunes upon shutting my computer down.  When I start the computer up and open I tunes, I have to have I tunes find all my music files and repopulate? help please

    Can somebody help......regarding the above question..... I have had I tunes on this computer for several years without a problem.  I do use webroot as an antivirus software.  I have Windows Vista operating system and I am using the latest version of Itunes available.  When ever I open Itunes, my music, books, ect, ect. files are always gone and I have to ask Itunes to find them on my computer almost every time I open Itunes.  This problem has been going on now for about the last 6 months.  Nothing else wrong with computer.  Another issue associated:  I can create a playlist one night, and the next day I open  Tune, it's gone.  I would really appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    It can be that the library path, or files, are corrupted. What happens if you set a different path to save the library?

  • Opening multiple file when just double clicking one

    I have an issue with my OS, I think, lately when I double click to open a file it opens files that have been worked on in the past along with the file I'm opening, I have had to force quite or wait until I get an error that too many files are opening. It has been happening with acrobat Reader 8, so I'm not sure if this is an Adobe thing or and OS thing.

    Try using [Onyx|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20070] to clear out your caches, and repair permissions as well. Also, reset your PRAM.

  • ALL music files lost on 4G/20 gig iPod today - help?

    Had the iPod since February of this year. No problems. Recently updated to the latest version of iTunes. Everything's updated. Today, went to turn it on and every single file was gone. The menu settings were completely reset. Plug it into the pc and iTunes says there are no music files.
    There were 14 gigs of music on it. And it's just...gone.
    Help? Is there anyway the files are still there? What caused the complete loss of data? If I start the teidious process of putting it all back will this happen again?
    Using WinXP with 4th Gen/20gig (non color) iPod.
    Thanks in advance.

    So it's connected to the new update? Jeez. Because it just happened out of the blue yesterday and the iTunes/iPod update was done back when it came out. (Thank goodness I didn't get around to updating the other one yet. I'll definitely be holding off now.)
    For the moment, we (my boyfriend and I; it's his iPod that had the loss) had to restore to factory settings. After the data loss, it wouldn't update. Thing is, I think he re-installed the new version again and then began putting songs back in it.
    I know last night it had accepted songs and played without problem, but...if it's a software issue and given it already failed once without warning, I'm of course worried it'll happen again.
    I'll try to read through the topics back in September. Doing a websearch for this really didn't net me a lot. Which is why I thought it might be a fluke thing rather then a software thing.
    I'm just trying to keep from having to go through this again. Poor guy, he had 18 gigs of music on there. A lot of it rare and odd things that he didn't have back-ups of, you know? He loves his iPod and this is just crushing. I'd like to learn the whys and the how to's of preventing it moving forward.

  • HT4796 i have successfully migrated the music but it just shows up in my files and has not updated my iTunes library which is still getting the music from iCloud and is not using the migrated files. Any ideas?

    I have successfully used windows migration software to move my music library from a PC to my MacBook Air.
    However the music files are just stored in my file system and have not updated my itunes files. Itunes is still getting the music down from icloud instead of using the music files.
    Any ideas?

    If you're using Windows Movie Maker and HP Photo to build slide shows, this is not an iPod touch issue (nor an iTunes issue), so I'd suggest you take up the problem on a web site that deals with Movie Maker or HP Photo issues. It's really not something we can help with in this forum.
    If you're building this slide show on your iPod, please post back and tell us what app(s) you're trying to use, and whether the iPod app on your iPod touch shows and plays your songs correctly. Knowing the specific model of iPod you have and the version of iOS it's running will probably also help.
    Regards.

  • Trouble moving lots of music files

    Hi,
    First of all, thank you for reading my post. Here's what I wanted to do: In the music folder of iTunes, every music files are classified in their respective Artist/Album folders. I wanted to take all those files and move them to one folder. Here's what I used:
    find . -name '*.mp3' -exec mv {} ./Music \;
    It created a single file named Music with all my files. First of all, is there a way to recover all those files or are they lost? Second, what was the command I should have used instead of this.
    Thank you again for the help

    Hi Francis,
    > It created a single file named Music with all my files.
       Ouch! I'm afraid that I don't think that's possible. Did a directory named "Music" already exist in the working directory at the time you executed the command? If it did exist then the command should have done exactly what you wanted; it should have moved all of the MP3 files into that directory, barring name collision.
       If the directory did not exist then the mv command would have no way of knowing that you meant it to be a directory. The first MP3 found would have been renamed to "Music" and moved to the current working directory. However, all of the other mv commands probably did the same and each one overwrote the previous one. Therefore I expect that your "Music" file is actually just the last MP3 file found and the rest have been lost. I'm afraid that you'll have to restore from backup.
       I realize that it's closing the barn door after the horses are out but the mv command provides -i and -n options to avoid this problem.

  • After downloading iTunes all my music files are in pieces

    Hello,
    is there anyone you knows how to solve this issue. I downloaded the current basic iTunes and gave Apple the permission to view my music files. The result is that almost every music file is now incomplete, for instance there will tracks from 1 to 20 but strangly track 3 , 6 and 13 will be missing. Instead I have to search around and finally find a file called 'unknown artists' in which I would find the specific album again but only containing the tracks 3, 6 and 13. That is highly unconvenient and I don't understand why.
    All the albums I'm talking about are CD's I bought in shop and just copied on my laptaop (toshiba using vista windos media player)and where fine before iTunes came along.
    Any clue would be appreciated.

    anybody out there have a real solution? my ipod's basically dead and i was thinking about getting a new one, but i'd need the new itunes.. which doesn't work.

  • After a backup all music files are invisible and iTunes don't see anything

    Hi,
    I got a very strange problem and I'm really lost.
    I made a backup of my portable iTunes libray (using a 160 GB Maxtor one touch 4 mini usb) on another backup disk (750 GB Maxtor onetouch III firwire 800). I have my library on a external disk to safe disk space on my MacBook Pro disk. For the back up I use the software Personal Backu4 of Intego Software. The 160GB iTunes disk is Formatted als Mac OS Extended format.
    Now all back up data that aren't music files (AAC or MP3 files) was correctly back up, but all music files was like deleted, all artist > album folders looks empty. But, cheking with the disk utility it looks that all files exist and the Used space (36.06 GB) looks correctly and the numbers of files too (some 5942 files). But all files are invisible, folders looks empty. Now is looks that all purchased and CD imported int my library didn't exist anymore: and this in BOTH disks, side by side is the same situation.
    How I can come out from this situation, I really don't have any idea how to coming out fron this sad situation.
    Hany help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    OK, here's what REALLY doesn't make sense.
    After manually fixing a lost file, NOTHING in the XML changes. Not one single character changes in the XML file. I diff'd the whole file before and after - no difference. So, basically, it goes out and 'finds' it and updates something that we can't see to repair the connection, meanwhile we are left to think that this XML file has the library data in it.
    Mind you, the media file(s) are present and accounted for in the file system - correct name and path and everything - before and after I go Locate the file when iTunes complains about it being missing..
    iTunes is so overbloated, we can't even fix stuff when we see precisely how it is broken.

  • Reinstalled iTunes and need to get music files back on

    Hi Everybody.
    Basically, I had to reinstall my iTunes software after my ipod broke and they gave me a new one. I am running iTunes 4 I think, because for some reason it is the only on that wants to work on our computer.
    The new iPod is working fine, and so is iTunes, but our music files didn't come back up automatically and I need some advice for getting them back on itunes. I've played with it a bit, but I didn't want to go clicking and dragging a bunch of folders to where they might not belong.
    Thanks, if you can offer me any help it will be much appreciated. Sean

    However, all signs point to "I erased all my itunes music files."
    Bummer
    is there anything else to try or is my music gone?
    Do you still have all or most or some of your music on the iPod? If so:
    These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

    Senuti (Mac OS X v10.3 or higher Recovery Utility)
    XPlay (Windows software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
    XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
    Extremely Simple & Free Method: (just to recover the song files – may not work on a Mac)
    1 - Open iTunes
    2 - Edit=>Preferences=>’Advanced/General’ tab
    2a --- Select ‘Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library’: checked
    2b --- Select ‘Keep iTunes Music folder organized’: checked
    2c --- Click OK to store changes
    3 - Attach your iPod to the PC and hold down the ‘Shift+Ctrl’ keys until the iPod is fully recognized (this will defeat the auto-sync process)
    4 - If you get a dialog box to link the Library, decline this option
    5 - Within iTunes: Edit=>Preferences=>’iPod’ tab: switch iPod to manual transfer – click ‘OK’
    6 – Eject iPod
    7 – Close iTunes, then reopen iTunes and attach the iPod (it’s in manual sync now)
    8 – File=>Add Folder
    9 - Browse to and open ‘My Computer’ (click on the ‘+’) and select the iPod (or the lower ‘\iPod_Control’ sub-folder)
    10 - Click OK
    -- The music files should start to transfer back into iTunes with its correct information
    –-- This will take some time depending on your PC’s speed and the amount of songs on the iPod
    No Playlists, or Ratings, Last Played, & Play Count attributes will be transferred from the iPod to iTunes using this method.
    If you have problems with seeing the iPod within 'My Computer', try again switching your update method to 'manual', detach the iPod, then reconnect the iPod to the PC.
    After recovering your Library, strongly consider developing a thorough and frequent backup strategy for just this type of situation (and many other potential disasters).
    You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
    -- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
    -- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
    -- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
    Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
    If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
    Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?
