HT2905 iPad iTunes duplication

I downloaded from iCloud last night all my songs to my iPad. Now I have a mess of about 80% of my iPad library full of duplicate songs. How do you get rid of the duplicates?

I need help. I sync'd a couple of playlists, containing 2K+ tracks, to my iPad. When I start the iPad iTunes application, it displays only the Store. I can find no way to play anything. I bought none of the songs from the iTunes store, but loaded them as MP3 files from my CDs.
The space allocation bar in my Mac iTunes shows that the iPad has Gigs of music. How do I get to it?
On the iPad music is played with the iPod App (not iTunes). You will find the icon for the iPod App at the bottom right of your home screen. Your playlists will be found there.

  • Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Thanks!  For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine.  It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do.  The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
    So, thanks anyway!  Pretty cat!

  • Purchased 2 audiobooks on my iPhone 4S, would like to download onto iPad aswell but they aren't showing up in my iPads iTunes (I have not downloaded onto phone yet)

    I have just bought 2 audiobooks on my iphone and want to download onto both iphone and iPad, but it isn't showing up in my iPad iTunes as 'downloading' as it does in my iphone. I have to connect to wifi to download it so it isn't downloading yet. Help?

    You get one and only one download.
    You would would have to transfer your audiobook from the iphone to the computer, then sync it to your ipad

  • Everything is updated!!  iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro...  All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices.  iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time!  What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!

    Why does iTunes SUCK??
    1) Many items greyed out in the menu bar, for well over 2 years, maybe more!
    2) I Can't drag more than one piece of content from your iTunes library to any device (iPhone, iPad)
    If you do it gets stuck for HOURS and HOURS in "Preparing To Update" and the little activity circle never completes, ever!!
    I used to be able to drag over 1000 tunes, movies, etc. go have breakfast come back and it would all be on my device!!
    Can't do it anymore, one song at a time, maybe an album at a time, or one movie, and that is it!!
    If you do a 2nd item the other items stop loading and never continue!!
    This is so BAD, I don't understand how they don't have this fixed yet!!
    Please tell me I am not the only one!!
    ...and If I am tell me how to fix it!
    Very appreciated,
    Joe

  • How do I change my iPad iTunes account & content from an old computer (XP) to a new computer 8.1

    How do I change my iPad iTunes account & content from an old computer (XP) to a new computer 8.1

    Hi RyanQuilty,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first step on your new computer is to install the latest version of iTunes:

    Then follow the steps below to backup your iTunes library from the Windows XP computer to an external hard drive:

    Before connecting your iPad to the new computer, I would suggest backing it up to iCloud, and changing your sync settings to "manual" on the new computer:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    iCloud
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. After you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch inSettings > iCloud > Backup & Storage,
    You can also back up manually whenever your device is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi by choosing Back Up Now from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.

  • HT204266 How can I change my iphone itunes ID to match my ipad itunes ID?

    I need to have my iphone itunes ID match my ipad itunes ID.    When I set up my iphone, my email was different than when I set up my ipad.  Therefore, Do I need to use an email as the id or can I use something different so that they will match?

    Settings/itunes & app store tap on ID you see there and log out then log in with other ID

  • How can I change my iPad iTunes email address to match my mac pro iTunes email address.

    My iPad iTunes email address is different from my Mac pro iTunes email address.  Tried changing my iPad meal address to match my Mac pro and said I could not.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are using different Apple IDs for each device, this implies that you have different accounts on each. Unfortunately you cannot merge accounts or transfer content between them.
    If all you wish to do is to use the account that you use on your MacBook Pro for your iPad, then you need to delete or sign out of your iTunes & app stores App on your iPad and then login again with your other account details. Obviously you will then no longer be able to use the purchases you have made from the account you have logged out of.

  • I have a MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed.

    I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.

    You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
    You can try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
    I would try on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    If defective and not abused you will walk out with a replacement

  • Movies begin to download to my iPad. iTunes says it is processing but the download never finishes.

    When I try to download a movie to my iPad, ITunes says it is processing, but it never finishes.

    Hi jeotoole,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first thing I would suggest is to quit the iTunes Store app and sign out of your iTunes Store account on your iPad.
    Then restart / reset the device.
    When you sign back in, you should be able to re-initiate the download.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If these two options don't resolve your issue, then see page 119 in the iPad User Guide to Reset All Settings
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose an option:
    Reset All Settings: All your preferences and settings are reset.

  • How can i cancel a pre-order in ipad itunes please ?

    How can i cancel a pre-order in ipad itunes please ?

    The support document listed above from Apple gives directions for canceling a pre-order from iTunes on the computer, but not from the iPad.  There must be a way to do this from the actual iPad, right?  Anyone... anyone...Bueller?

  • How to moves dropbox files into iPad iTunes

    I have MP3 files I want too add to my iPad iTunes Music Library. I have them in Drop Box on the iPad. Can I transfer them so they are accessable from my iTunes Library on iPad? If so.... how? Thanks!

    I use File Manager, a free app that allows you to download and play mp3 files from your Box or Dropbox account. They won't show up under Music, but you can use the app's own player, which has a shuffle and repeat function. The only disadvantage I can see so far is that you can only download one file at a time, but that might be because I haven't explored all the possibilities yet. Here is the link to the app:

  • I had to replace my hard drive and when I plug in my iPad, itunes says  it is synced with another computer, and asks to erase all my data. Help!

    I had to replace my hard drive and now when I plug in my iPad, itunes says it is synced with another library

    That is because the iPad can only "sync" to one iTunes library at a time. You can move all of the iPad contents into a new iTunes library. This discussion will give you a lot of useful information.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3305461
    This one is Mac specific - not that it is any different except for the iTunes menu.

    Remember to authorize the computer in iTunes first - From the iTunes menu go to Store>Authorize this computer.
