How do I delete copies of the same albums off my iPod Touch 2g?

I recently put music on my iPod touch and I noticed that there was multiple
(4 copies) of one album. There was also a few that had 2 copies. I only put 1 copy of
each. When I go to iTunes it shows only 1 set of songs from a particular album. But on my iPod it's
a different story. 4 copies of said album shows up. Why does it do that, and how can I get rid
of all the unnecessary copies? It's annoying to look at.

Is it really 4 complete copies of the same album? Or, is it 4 separate pieces of the same album, each with different songs?
If you have 4 complete albums on the Touch, are you manually managing its contents? If so, connect to iTunes and delete the extra copies. I don't remember if the Touch is affected by this, but if you manually load an album onto your iPod, then make tag changes to that album in iTunes and drag it over again, you'll get a 2nd copy.
If you have 4 incomplete albums, it is likely due to a difference in tag values that should be consistent (e.g. album name). If this is what's going on, check the album to make sure that all songs have the same Artist, Album Artist, Album, and the values for # of songs and # of disks. Any variations in these fields will be seen as different albums by your iPod. If the album has multiple artists, then set the Album Artist of all songs on the album to "Various Artists" and tag all songs as "Part of a Compilation".

    Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window.

  • How do you delete vidoes that you only want off your Ipod touch

    please help me with it so frusterating

    If the movies are in your iTunes library on your computer - and you do want to store them in there if you delete them from the device - just swipe across the Movie icon in the videos app to bring up the red delete button.
    If you do not want the movie to transfer back to the iPod when you sync, uncheck the movie in the Movies Tab of iTunes when the iPod is connected to your Mac, with the iTunes running and the iPod selected.
    Connect the iPod to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPod name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Movies Tab on the right.
    Pun check the Movies that you do not want to sync to the iPod
    Click on the Sync Movies Heading to make sure that it is selected
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    Obviously there is a little confusion as to what exactly you are talking about. Videos that you took with the iPod or movies that are on the device.

    Syning with iTunes is completely separate from iCloud, except that if you have elected to sync calendars and contacts with iCloud you cannot sync them with iTunes.

  • Can I pair and use more than one set of bluetooth speakers at the same time on my ipod touch 4.0

    can I pair and use more than one set of bluetooth speakers at the same time on my ipod touch 4.0 or Iphone 4s or Ipad 2?

    You can only connect to one device at a time using Bluetooth, See article below for more information.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1664
    While your iOS device can maintain multiple pairing records, it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. This prevents your iOS device from sending your data to the wrong Bluetooth accessory.

  • Does anyone know how to keep all songs in the same album when they say featuring someone?

    Each time I load a CD onto Itunes that has an artist who features another artist on that particular song, it puts it in my library as a separate CD even though it will have the same album listed.  For instance Lady Gaga's song just dance features Colby O'Donnis that song is in its own spot while the rest of the cd is together that one song is separate and I don't know how to keep them all together.  Someone help.

    Get the Informations for that song and have a look in the "Sorting" area if there is something different. The data inserted there is just for how iTunes will order the songs.
    If the Interpret in the general informations is "Lady Gaga" and in the sorting area is "Lady Gaga feat. xxxx" than you'll see Lady Gaga as the interpret but it's sort to a second entry "Lady Gaga feat. xxxx".

  • When I copied my cd collection to my iTunes account, I use the view by CD option in the viewer. How can I get songs from the same album to show nder the same view, instead of making it a separate thing?

    How can i fix this problem with songs from the same album, not being organized under the same  when they are from the same CD?

    Thank you... just read up on iTunes Match.   That stinks, paying a yearly thing... but I understand everyone has to make a dollar.  I think I'm better off just picking the best songs out of my collection storing them on my computer or iPhone then selling my CD's to some used CD place.   If I ever really want to hear a song there are multiple options and if I want it... the .99 to 1.29 option is always there.
    Thank you for the information

  • How can I delete photos in the "Edited" album in the iPhoto app on my iPad??

    How can I delete photos in the "Edited" folder in the iPhoto App on my iPad?

    What a pain...you must go through all that to remove it?! So many unessary steps!
    I also find that when I sync up a new photo folder to replace the old set that I previously wiped out and replaced it staggers afew pictures from before in with the new and will not show all of the new....so frustrating!!!  I even close out iPhoto and go into the photo album and all the photos that synced up which are the ones I do want are all there....it's so different than what I see the album in iPhoto.  Why Apple WHY??

  • Location Service Problem! I Moved To A New House, and Used The Same Wifi, But My iPod Touch(4th Gen. iOS 6) Is Still Using My Old Location/Address and Not My New One, How Do I Fix This?

    I Moved From New York To Florida, But Kept The Same WiFi/Router, But The Maps App and My iPod Touch(4th Gen. & iOS 6) Is Still Registering My Location In New York.

    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
    Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
      You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

  • HT1349 how do i take the dis able off my ipod touch

    what do i do to get the disable off my ipod touch ??????

    If the phone says "iPhone is disabled" conncet it to your computer, hold down on both the sleep/wake (top button) and home button (circle button) for about 30 seconds, when you see the apple let go of the top and continue holding the home button. This will put your device in recovery mode and you can restore it. This is your only option if the phone is disabled.

  • How to create multiple copies of the same mailing label?

    I know how to create mailing labels for addresses in my address book. How do I print an entire sheet of the same address on a page of mailing labels? The preview when I select 20 copies of one address label does not show the same label on multiple times on the page, only once. Does that mean it will only print one label per page for a total of 20 pages or does it only show one since they will all print the same?
    I'd like to use this to create custom return address labels

    It's tedious but you can create a new group in Address Book, make 20 entries (or however many entries would make one label page's worth) for your own name and print just that group.

  • How to avoid multiple copies of the same application in Web Start cache?

    We have an environment where there are several HTTP servers carrying the same Web Start application.
    Is there any way to prevent Web Start from installing another copy of the same application in a client machine's cache if the user hits an HTTP server that is not the one the application was already installed from?

    There is no way WebStart can know that an application from one server is actually the same as an application from another server, so I don't think this is possible.
