HT203433 why do i keep getting duplicates in my itunes library?

I notice I songs in my iTunes library keep getting duplicated. A lot of them seem to be purchases I've made with my iTunes account. I have iTunes Match enabled, Cloud storage and have an iPhone 4S. Is it possible it's duplicating these items for some reason from my phone or the cloud?

Because someone's trying to mislead you into giving them your iTunes Store login information. Forward all such emails to [email protected] and then delete them.
If there's an actual problem with your iTunes Store account, you'll be told at the time you try to purchase or download something.

    Why do I keep getting the message that iTunes is quitting working?  I have reinstalled iTunes and I have checked the wifi twice.  I have even put the internet access cable directly into the laptop.  The message says that windows will look for a solution but never offers any solution.

    Try disconnect your internet, then launch iTunes.
    Connect your device, then reconnect your internet.
    See if this resolves the issue.

  • Why do I keep getting duplicate messages from IMAP

    I have several different gmail accounts, but on one account I get some messages twice, others only once.
    I have contacted the primary sender, to make sure they only have one account for me.
    Do I have something set to pull things down more than once? Original & duplicate always come in together.

    My first inclination is to answer your question --- yes - something is going wrong! I'm sure more specific information will be needed to help you.
    Are you getting a specific message? An error code number? Can you describe exactly what you are doing when you get the message?

  • I keep getting an error "The iTunes library cannot be saved. The required disk cannot be found." how do I fix this?

    I cannot get past this error. This is the third time I am having this issue with iTunes. I have moved my library off of the systems hard drive onto an external as advised by an Apple Store rep, and now I am back to this. What have some of you done to avoid this error?

    == Error -54 ==
    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.

  • Why do I keep getting booted out of iTunes on my phone

    Whenever I try to open iTunes on my iPhone 4S it keeps booting me out. I have downloaded iOS7. I don't know if this is the reason,though.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi Sam From ME,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would suggest restarting your iPhone and seeing if the issue continues, and if it does, try resetting your iPhone as well:

  • After downloading latest version, keep getting error message "The iTunes Library .itl file cannont be found or created"? The file never moved from My Music. Repeated attempts to restore previous version result in same message. Help!!

    Help!!

    Hello Whit1erj,
    It sounds like you are not able to access your iTunes library.  With the error message you are receiving, you will want to first locate the iTunes Library.itl file.  These are the default locations for this file on a Windows computer, but if you dont find them here, you may need to search for the file:
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
    You can find the full article about iTunes file locations here:
    Where are my iTunes files located?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    Once you locate the iTunes Library.itl file, you can make iTunes point to it using these steps:
    Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    You should see one of the following screens:
    Then you can select Choose Library and navigate to the location of the iTunes Library.itl file.  You can find the full article here:

  • Why do i keep getting an Alert message saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded "?

    Why do i keep getting an Alert message saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded "?
    This happens a lot regardless of the web page. I continually have to restart FF and it persists still

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • When playing games on Facebook, why do I keep getting requests to store information on my computer?

    When playing games on Facebook, why do I keep getting requests to store information on my computer?When playing games on Facebook, why do I keep getting requests to store information on my computer?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Exactly what program is throwing that request message?
    Does that message list any details, such as WHAT will be written/saved to your computer?
    As ATR mentions, I am not sure how PrE figures into the mix. I would anticipate that your message is coming from FaceBook, or from the OS, or from your anti-virus/anti-malware program.
    Regardless, be VERY wary of any program, or Web site, that wants to write to your computer, unless you have delibertly invoked something that you DO want to do so.
    Good luck,

  • Why do I keep getting alerts for shared calendars?

    I have a calendar set up in Calendar, it syncs with iCloud.
    My wife has a clanedar set up in Calendar, it syncs with iCloud.
    Both calendars are shared, so we can see what the others availability is on a given day at a given time.
    But why do I keep getting alerts on my iPhone (and only on my iPhone) for my WIFE's events?  I've turned off the "show shared calendar events" button in the calendar preferences on my iPhone, but I'm *still* getting alerts for all her events.  I don't need this, I don't want this, I turned it off... why is it still happening?
    My iCloud calendar is defaulted to my calendar.  I do not get alerts on my iMac for her events, only on the iphone.  Can anyone help?  I never want to see her events unless I manually go and look at them on my calendars or in iCloud calendar.

    Your System Details list shows that you use a Firefox 31.0 release.
    That is not the current release.
    The current release is Firefox 34.0.5.
    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
    *Firefox 34.0: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    *Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • Why do I keep getting an error message saying that I need to check my internet connection when I try to listen to Radio? I ran diagnostics and my internet connection is fine. I can also access iTunes Store no problem??

    Why do I keep getting an error message "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service.Check your internet connection or try again later." This happens when I am trying to listen to Radio (obviously). I ran diagnostics and it said my internet connection was good. I can also connect to the iTunes Store with no problem. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Maybe the radio connection on the other end is not working. Hope this helps.
