  • How do I get itunes to not list the same artist more than once?

    How do I get ituens to not list the same artist more than once?  I have tried editing the info, sorting different ways and sometimes it works and sometimes not...it's very frustrating to me to have the same artist listed multiple times...

    Setting a common Album Artist for each Album does most of the work. For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.
    In general you need to make sure that all the values in the tags are used consistently. Same spelling, same capitalization, same accents, no leading, trailing, or multiple spaces, and each value of Artist, Album Artist or Album should only be associated with one value of Sort Artist, Sort Album Artist or Sort Album respectively.

  • Downloading TV shows from itunes - episodes appearing seperately not all under the same series despite all the information being the same.  How can I get them to appear under the same series

    Just that
    I have many series - NCIS, West Wing etc where some episodes appear under the series and some appear on their own.
    I have checked the info anf they appear to be identical.
    How do I get them to group together corectly?

    After a couple of days, I'm noticing that the repeat(ing) offenders have more than 10 episodes, and seem to keep repeating them every time I sync.
    They only show once in my phone and in the iTunes Podcasts, but through iTunes and looking at what's in my phone is when I see the repeats.
    Even after I've marked a podcast as played, and deleted it from within my phone, as well as telling iTunes to delete the played episodes, it still shows multiples of the played episodes.
    There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it either. They aren't the newest ones either.

  • How do I get Itunes to stop downloading the same TV Show episodes multiple times and delete the duplicates?

    Recently I started buying season passes for TV Shows on ITunes and I have no problem downloading them to begin with but after I download anything else from the ITunes store ITunes will try to download all of the episodes in all of the seasons of every show again. Sometimes I don't catch it before they download so I now have 2 of almost every episode in the season passes I have. If I do catch it and stop the downloads the episodes that didn't get downloaded are there but they are grey .Also it wont let me delete the extras so they are just sitting there taking up space. I have no issue with the individual episodes I buy of other shows it is just the season passes. Actually I checked and it also has a couple of other things in there that I stopped from downloading previously but most of it is the season passes.
    I hope someone can help me.

    Yes, you'll have to individually add each new song that you've downloaded.
    When you add them to iTunes--you're just adding the file path to the location on your computer. When you move the file location, iTunes won't know where to look for it and will give you the infamous "!" symbol. Then you'll have to browse to the new location and tell iTunes where to find it.
    How many new songs do you add at a time? If it's not many, it's probably easiest to just add them one file at a time.
    To find the new songs, the file names should be good clues--they are fairly complete song titles on my computer.
    And, you might want to do this each time you download a new song so you don't forget to add them!

  • How do I get itunes to sort songs the same way my ipod does, without renaming the songs?

    Itunes and my ipod use different algorithms when sorting songs.  Here are a few examples:
    In itunes, apostrophes come before spaces/other characters  ("It's Good to Be King" comes before "It Keeps You Runnin'" and "You're an Original" comes before "You Better You Bet."  In my ipod, apostrophes come after spaces/other characters.
    In itunes, numerical song titles are sorted by the first number, then the second, and so on (18, 1983, 2112, 25, 3).  In my ipod, numerical song titles are sorted in ascending numerical order (3, 18, 25, 1983, 2112).
    The order is relevant for two reasons.  One, I like the sound of the song flow generated by my ipod's sorting better than the one generated by itunes.  Two, I use play count to determine whether or not to keep a song on my playlist (songs that I skip over repeatedly get cut entirely) and the changing song order tends to mess up the play count.
    So, other than going in and changing the names of the songs, is there some way to make itunes behave like my ipod?

    I deal with the numeric ordering by padding out the sort fields with leading zeros. iTunes used to sort numbers by value but it seems the code for that got removed at some point and hasn't been replaced. You should be able to use sort values to achieve some consistency between the two views of your media.

    I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email.  I have since assigned two different emails.  How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

    By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
    If so, you can change it.
    1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
    2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
    3. Log in with a different ID.

  • HT1451 Hi All, I have 2 users on my desktop, 1 i-tunes account and log-in but both users have different music contents i.e. one has the full iTunes library and the other only has some songs. How do i get both users to have the same music content?

    I Have 2 users on my computer and both access i-tunes using same password etc. however 1 library has the full content of music but the other one has only partial playlists. How do I get both users to have the same full library?

    The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the  "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

  • I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extrem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptops hard drive??

    I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port).  I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem.  How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive?  I don't have enough space to do that.

    How did you move the music to the external drive?  What exactly is on the drive?  The entire iTunes folder or only music?  If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier.  If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move.  iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

  • How to Create one more SOA-INFRA under the same domain in weblogic server

    Hi All,
    Can anybody can guide how to create one more soa-infra under the same domain. In order to maintain my composites to be deployed into
    different domains, I need to create one more soa-infra and deployed all the composites under that one.
    Please let me know if any demo is available for this activity to be gets completed.
    Regards,
    CH

    Hi Vijay,
    There are several composites which needs to be deployed and maintained in the server. So, we I'm trying to maintian
    by deploying composites into 3 different SOA-INFRA's so if one is not accessible, we can look into it and others can access the
    composites from another SOA-INFRA instead of creating domains.
    Let me know what will be feasible way to perform this activity.

  • How can I get my ipad to reflect the same playlist order that appears on my computer?

    How can I get my ipad to reflect the same playlist order that appears on my computer?  My computer has the exact desired order of playlist, but once the system is synced, the ipad does not reflect the propper order.

    In iTunes with your playlist shown in the correct order, right-click on the playlist name in the side-bar and click Copy to Play Order. Enable the side-bar with CTRL+S if necessary. Sync. Note also that the column you are sorting on should have the small triangle pointing upwards, otherwise the songs will play in the reverse order. You may also find that you need to first remove, and then add back the playlist to the device if syncing doesn't update it properly. See this post for more.
