I-Pod shows the same artist 10 times or over and over

I Pod classic shows the same artist over and over

There are many reasons this could happen, but I'll list a few possibilities:
1) You have your iPod on manually manage, and you've dragged the same songs many times onto the iPod.
2) You have many duplicates of the songs in iTunes and it's syncing everything to the iPod.
3) There's something wrong with the iPod and you should restore it in iTunes and set it back up fresh and load the songs you want back onto it. Keep in mind that restoring the iPod will lose things that are on it, so make sure you have your songs in iTunes before doing this.

I recently updated to Yosemite and never had this issue before.

I'm not 100% sure of the ins and outs, but it's some sort of known issue between Yosemite, Airport and wifi. All you can do is wait for a fix and keep restarting your equipment as and when needed, unless you have the ability to connect your Mac via ethernet.

Hi. My 2013 MacBook Air has suddenly reverted to a previous Excel spreadsheet (from May). I use the same spreadsheet several times a day and hit cmd 's' every 5-10 minutes. How can I find the version I was using yesterday?? Please help. Thanks

IPod listing the same artist numerous times...

Before you read any further, please understand that this is NOT A TAGGING PROBLEM. I've been told it is many times (by people who aren't having the problem themselves) even after telling them it's not, and it's starting to become slightly annoying that no ones wants to believe me. Now, onto the problem...
A few weeks ago, I loaded some new songs into my itunes library, and tried to sync my iPod to accquire them onto it. For some reason, when I went to check if they were there, the artist was listed 5 times for no apparent reason. This hadn't happened before adding these new tracks, nor has it happened to any other artist since. Under each listing of the artist are all the albums and songs I have by them, so as I said, it is not a tagging problem. I posted this about a month back on this board when it happened, and got 2 common responses. 1 was "It's a tagging problem"...no, it's not. The other was people who were having the same problem, so at least then I knew it wasn't my specific iPod or iTunes with the problem. If anyone has any comments or solutions to this problem, feel free to post them and hopefully this can get figured out. Thanks in advance to everyone.

Well, I just checked, and no I don't have anything in the sort fields for any of the songs. I haven't heard any mention of that field before though so at least it's a step in a new direction.
As for the case sensitive problem, that would also be considered a tagging problem (to me anyway), and by now I've assured there's no tagging problems whatsoever.
Again, if anyone else is having this problem and/or has found a way to fix it, please let me know. Thanks to all.

The History tab at the top of the screen. When I click it it shows history but it shows the same thing every time and wont change. Even when i click "all history" and delete it it is still there. How do i delete it?

Could you be specific where the files to fix this are?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

In 10.10 the "recent documents" pulldown does not display actual recent items--it shows the same items time after time. How can I fix that?

In previous versions of OS 10, the "recent items" pull down from the Apple icon (top left) actually showed recent items. In this version, 10.10, the same items display time after time rather than displaying recent items. How can this be fixed?

Duplicate pages for the same artist

Hi, In the Indian Classical instrumental music there are two artists with duplicate pages due to slight variation in name or spelling. These are Hariprasad Chaurasia, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia Pandit is a title. These should be combined so all albums show up together. Shivkumar Sharma, Shiv Kumar Sharma Here the first name has been split. These should be combined so all albums show up together. Thanks for an awesome music service with great features! regardsDushyant

For some iPods, they just can't seem to reconcile the different file formats, and you end up with duplicate entries of the same artists. That has been my problem and have had to learn to live with it.
I've not had that problem.
The usual reason why an artist appears several times is because of spelling differences, capitalistion, or guest artists.
For example, "Dire Straits" and "Dire straits" may appear together in your iTunes Library, but become separate entries on the iPod. "The Clash" is different to "Clash, The".
If one track on an album is listed differently to the rest, say as "The Clash featuring a guest artist", then this too would be listed separately to "The Clash". The usual fix for this is to add the featured artist to the track name and remove it from the artist's name.
The hardest one to spot is stray spaces after a band name . You can see the one I deliberately put in at the end of that last sentence, but it's not so easy in the Artist field, where full stops (period) are not used.
An easy tip is to copy the artist name from one track, and paste it into all the others by that artist. Then Sync the iPod with your Library for these changes to take effect on the iPod.

How do I get iTunes to play all the songs and albums from the same artist?

Before the update, you used to be able to play all the songs from the same artist across all albums (ie: you have 2 albums from the same artist, you start one, it would play through both in order). Why did this change, and is there some way to get it to work?

Have you read the link that roaminggnome posted ? What you can redownload will depend upon what country that you are in (music, films, TV shows can't be redownloaded in all ; audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), whether the item is still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove them), and whether you've moved countries since buying/downloading them.

Ipod duplicates albums. All the same artist, same everything. How can I fix this?

Ipod duplicates albums. All the same artist, same everything. How can I fix this?
All the details are the same. In my itunes library it shows as ONE whole album. When I import it to my ipod classic 160 gb it duplicates it about 4 times; it's quite irritating. It does that for 2 albums in particular and I have no idea why. Please help! Thank you.

Hi alondres,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Use the information in the following article to review the information in the iTunes database for the artist / albums you are having issues with. Make sure the information you want is exactly the same in the artist and album fields.

Editing Info
Each audio or video file in iTunes has several settings and tags that can be easily modified. These options can be accessed by selecting any file in the iTunes browser windows and selecting "Get Info" from the File menu. You can add song lyrics, artwork and set special playback options. The "Info" tab lets you edit information about the file including artist and album info.
Once you have updated the information, close the iTunes application on the computer. Then reopen and resync to your iPod.
Cheers,

Why does iTunes display the same album art for different songs, but from the same artist?

Hi,
a couple of days ago I decided I wanted all of my songs to have an album art. Before I didn't actually care, but since I discovered the view mode with the album arts at the top (the fourth one) I began searching for the right arts, since I like it this way.
I've stumbled upon a problem though. When I add two or more songs from the same artist, iTunes chooses to assign the same album art to the songs. It chooses the album art of the song I added first to my music library. How do I get it to show the proper album art?
I use a program called 'Mp3Tag' to change all the information of my songs. When it's just a single, I end up having an 'artist', 'title', 'genre' and 'cover'. The rest of the information doesn't bother me. With albums I add more information though.
Here's an example:
I added two songs, one being 'Usher - Climax (Kaskade Remix)' and the other one being 'Usher - Scream'. The one added first was 'Scream'. As you can see below, iTunes somehow assigns the same album art to both songs, while clicking on 'get info' clearly shows the songs have different album arts.
I discovered something else though:
When adding an 'album name' to the songs, they will show properly, as seen below. The thing is though, I don't want to add an album name. When I sync the songs to my iPod, my 'albums' list will show all of the songs as well, which I don't want.
Is there any way to solve this another way where iTunes won't sort by album, but by song title?
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone please answer my question?

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.

Image Preview showing the same preview

Have a project that shows photos while playing music. The photos in the time line all show the same preview picture. When the movie is played the actual photo is displayed? Any help would be appreciated.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud

How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud?

You don't need them stored locally for a backup. You can manually export your contacts as archive for backup. Also, if you are backing up with Time Machine, you already have a backup. If your hard drive crashed, you would have to rely on your backup or iCloud anyway.
So, if you're comfortable with that, sign out of iCloud. Choose to delete contacts from the computer. When you sign back into iCloud, you should only have iCloud contacts listed in AB. When you open iCal, you should only have one listing for birthdays.
The other alternative is to disable the Birthday c.alendar and create one manually.

Sub Report in Table, always showing the same data

I created a main report with data from a dataset. The DataSet has a column: @Region_ID. The Main Report is Page-Grouped by this @Region_ID and shows a tablix with some datarows foreach region.
I now want to include a subreport into the table and pass the parameter @region_ID to the subreport, which also calls a procedure including the passed @region_ID. I set the @region_ID-Parameter to "always refresh"
I added a textbox on the subreport to display the values which has been passed to the subreport.
I now have a multipage report, with a page for every region. The subreport displays various @region_ids in the textbox, but the data for the subreport itsself, shows the same data on every page. It seems like it has called the procedure only once, with the
first @region_id, and now displays this data on every page, allthough it does not match.
Any suggestions what I did wrong?

Hi tkrasinger,
According to your description, you have the issues on displaying the parameter in subreport. It only shows the first value of the parameters. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we execute a procedure with parameter, this procedure will only be executed one time. This is the reason why it shows the same value in your subreport.
In this scenario, we can just right click on the textbox of region_id, go to
Texobox Properties -> Action -> Go to report. Select the subreport, add the region_id as parameter in
Use these parameters to run the Report. When you click on the textbox, the region_id will be passed to the subreport. So that the value will be displayed dynamically in the subreport.
Reference:
Add a Subreport and Parameters (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou
