Having problems organizing music

Hey, When I sync my itunes with my ipod some of the songs or albums will seperate. They won't be under one artist, I'll get numerous. I figure it has something to do with the sorting/info stuff but i've tried everything I could.
Ex. Under artist I'll get:
The Beatles
The Beatles
The Beatles
The Ramones
The Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks!

A spelling or punctuation mistake, or sometimes a trailing space usually causes this after the artists and/or song name, which fools the iPod into thinking that there are two different artists or songs. The trailing space is the hardest to spot.
Best way to cure this is to go into iTunes, highlight that artist and/or songs, right click on them and select "get info".
This brings up the multiple song info window. If you see the "artist" field is left blank, then there is a discrepancy with that name.
So to correct this, in the artist or song box retype the name, as you would like it, and then click ok. You should do this even if no mistakes are immediately visible.
Re sync this new artist/song info to your iPod.
If the above is not the issue, try this also. Highlight all the songs for that artist, right click on them and select "apply sort field/same artist".
See if that works.

  • Hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)?

    hello everybody, is anybody else having problems exporting music to their iphone 4's from their itunes 10.6.1. (7)? i sure am. somehting is way differant. i used to be able to simply drag, and drop albums, artists, and entire genres to my phone without a worry. now i drag an album to my phone, and it will only add a couple of the songs. so i drag and drop again, and maybe even a third time to get all whole album on there. oh, and the album artwork is a no-show. i dont know what i'm missing. it's sure not what i'm used to. anyways, i'm new to this support community deal. thank you in advance for any help.
    much respect,
    tommy bravo

    After further testing, I noticed that iTunes not only becomes totally unresponsive but will start using all the CPU until I kill the process. After restarting, it works again for a while and then it dies again...

  • I am having problems moving music from my computer to my IPhone.

    I am having problems moving music from my library to my IPhone. I have everything marked properly and it still won't move to my phone. Any suggestions?

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Anyone having problems loading music purchased from amazon onto ipods?

    Anyone having problems lately uploading music purchased from amazon onto your ipods?  this is a recent experience for me.  I had been able to do it until a few weeks ago.

    There have been a handful of report over the last couple of weeks for other users who have starting getting error messages when trying to sync their Amazon purchases to their iPod from iTunes.
    Most of them are getting a -50 error.  If that is the case for you, see this older thread for a couple of solutions that worked for some other users.

  • Having problems transferring music from my pc

    I bought an ipad 3 last week and seem to be having difficulties transferring music from my pc.  Do I click import, this seem to work but only transferred 2 1/2 albums & podcasts.

    <SPAN>Tried a disk clean up and even upgraded the firmware on my player.
    <SPAN>Now in nomad explorer the music files do not even show up while the data library still take ages to load and I still cant transfer anything from it as it tells it cannot read from jukebox device.
    <SPAN>Tried deleting some files to see what would happen ? the file says it has been deleted but when I disconnected and looked in library again the file was still there.
    <SPAN>I forgot to mention in my first post that I was able to transfer everything off my Zen onto pc but I had to remaster my computer and as such lost all files and since then I cant transfer off the Zen - not sure if that matters but thought I should mention it
    <SPAN>Can?t really test at friends? computer because even if I could and it worked I have 25 GB of files that need to be transferred which doesn?t make it feasible to transfer all onto a friend?s computer
    <SPAN>Any help is grateful as I need to back up my music files in case my Zen breaks down (I am on my third Zen in 4 months as the first two were defecti've)

  • I downloaded the new itunes and updated my ipod 3, anyone else having problems getting music library to sinc to ipod?

    I am having trouble sincing my music library to my ipod touch 3g after the update, is anyone else having this problem?

    Read this Apple Support Article on handling error 69  it may be a bad corrupted file.
    Or worst case the iPod Hardisk need to be check, as you are saying that it is taking longer than usual.
    Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem but helps in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!

  • Is anyone having problems with music in 6.1.1?

    I updated to 6.1.1 and now my music looks like the album option in iTunes. Has anyone else had this problem? It's almost un-usable.

    Thanks. Updating now. We'll see how it goes. I think this is too weird for it to just be my phone out of millions. Something I'm doing must be the reason, but nothing I do is any different than before I updated to 6.1.1. I use my music the same way every day going to work and home and at home. Not until this AM did I see a change. Weird. Hope 6.1.2 works.

  • AirPort Express -- having problems with music and stereo

    Anytime I connect iTunes to my home theater system, the sound is very very quiet, and there is a slight "buzz, or humm" noise in the background, almost as though the Line out cable isn't connected all the way (obviously it is...). This system has worked when I first set it up, but now all of a sudden, it is having these problems...any suggestions or solutions? Thanks

    I don't know what's going on inside the airport express, but I also loose various qualities of the sound when I'm streaming. Typically, if I have set my amplifier to apply some virtual surround mode using 4 speakers, two of them will go dead whenever I stream over the express unit. I tried using the mini-toslink out of the express, which changed nothing. I'd be interested in a technical explanation of what that thing is doing to the signal. A humm is typically a ground loop, probably more likely to come from within your home theater system. Can you try connecting the airport express line to another input channel on your audio system to check if it is a ground problem with the input you're currently using?

  • I am having problems streaming music to my apple tv (1st and 2nd gen). The music cuts in an out after a while of playing.  Any suggestions?

    I have a first gen apple tv and it works as advertised except for the streaming of music which would cut out/on/out......  I decided to buy a aptv2 and have the same issue.  I have tried using different wireless setups, ipod, iphone and laptop and the same issue happens.  Any suggestions?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Having problems transfering music to my Nano between laptop and desktop.

    Recently my desk top PC broke down. I then got a Nano for my birthday (cool) so bought some podcasts and tracks from i-store and downloaded a small proportion of my cd collection using my laptop. For some reason it takes a couple of hours to download a cd into i-tunes. For that reason, now my PC is back with me I downloaded the rest of my cd collection onto the hard drive then transfered the music into the recently installed i-tunes.
    Here's the problem, when I connected the nano to the PC for the first time I was asked if I wanted to replace the present library (laptop) with the new PC library. I want both as I don't see how to get the bought and paid for stuff off the laptop, onto my PC and then on to the Nano.
    I can understand why this may of happened as you could just plug your i-pod/nano etc into someone elses laptop and bootleg their music but I don't want to have tp pay for my downloads twice. Can anyone help me out?
