Ipod nano 4G same albums duplicated many times in album list

I have a nano 4G 8GB and have loaded up some music on it, about 50 odd albums so far, whenever I scroll through the album list it keeps showing 4 albums in duplicate, it's as if there are about 10 copies of each album.
It scrolls through ok then 2 album covers and details appear over and over, then it goes normally, listing albums as it should, then another 2 albums appear over and over, at the moment it is just 4 albums that is doing it.
It only does this when scrolling through the album list, never does it when in cover flow mode, I have reset the ipod and reinstalled the software on it and it still does it, would removing and installing the affected albums correct this problem ?

Similar problem here. I just imported a cd of 17 songs. I entered the info for each song by typing the album name of all 17 and then typed the song titles. I synced to my old Nano and no problem but on my new Nano 6th generation, it separated each song individualy, soooo, I cannot search that album and play it, only one song at a time. Frustrating.

  • Can two ipods with the same email address face time independantly?

    Can two ipods with the same email address face time independantly?

    Hey Bumblebee, To each other, no-- would be like trying to call yourself on the same phone. To different persons on other devices??? Not sure you'll have to try, I'm guessing if both are online you may well dial up on both, (once had the same address on the my computer and iPod, both would ring when called, this stopped when I changed the iPod's address). If you change one of the iPod's e-mail address you should be fine. You'll have to do a little experimenting. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

    Connect the iPod to yur syncing computer and restore the iPod via iTunes.. If it asks for the passcode and you can't enter it, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • My iPod Nano 6th generation doesn't seem to recognize album artwork. I've downloaded the artwork manually, and I've even restored my iPod to defaults several times, but nothing works. Does anyone have a solution?

    My iPod Nano 6th Generation is not picking up album artwork. On several of my tracks, it recognizes the album art, but it doesn't seem to recognize the others. I've tried uploading the artwork onto several albums manually, I've cleared the downloaded artwork to download them again, I've even restored the iPod to its default settings...nothing seems to work.
    Does anyone have a solution to this

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on anoterh computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Help! ipod nano won't hold as many songs as it says it can

    I have an ipod nano that is 2GB and can hold up to 500 songs. I only have 113 songs on it and when i try to put more on it it says that there is not enough room to put more songs on it. How do i make it able to hold more songs????

    Bear in mind that the song limit advertised is based on 4 minute per song, 1MB per minute, encoded as 128 kbps in AAC format.
    Check the encoding of your songs. To do this, right click one the sorting columns in iTunes tick bit rate, then click this new column to sort the songs by bit rate. Any songs that are encoded at higher than 128 kbps will be causing excess space to be used for storage. To change the bit rate of these songs you can convert them to AAC format (sound quality will be lost). Or you can reimport them from CD/Computer once you have changed the import settings as detailled below, but that could be time consuming.
    To convert go to the edit menu, select preferences, click the advanced tab, and select importing.For best song capacity on the iPod, make sure that the encoder is set to "Import using AAC encoder", and "High quality 128 kbps". Hit OK. Then collect together all the high encoded songs and select them all (click the top one and hold shift, then click the bottom one). Right click the highlighted area and go to "Convert selection to AAC". This could take a while if there are many songs.
    Once complete, go to the Edit menu, and select "Show duplicate songs". Delete all the "old" songs, recognisable by their bitrate, format or size. Again, to show these, right click a sorting column, and tick the respective ones.
    Once this is done, update the iPod.
    If your songs are all changed into 128kbps AAC and are mostly all around 4 mins long, then you should get very close to the song limit advertised

  • 2 ipod nano's SAME songs on both...HELP

    My husband and I bought ipod nano's at the same time. During set up, using my laptop, we thought that we had done everything correctly. What has happened is that all of his songs are on my ipod and all of mine are on his...in other words our nano's have the EXACT same songs on them! How can we correct this????? We have totally different taste in music and feel "cheated" with our song space.

    Change the the update option on your iPods "automatically update selected playlists only". You can each make a playlist of your own with your own songs in it and each iPod can be set to update from it's own list. Make your playlists "Smart Playlists" and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod Nano (around 1800MB for a 2G). For more information have a look at this link:
    How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    For info:
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • Ipod Nano-How Do I just show names of Albums

    Help please, i have an ipod nano, and i want to be able to display names of the Albums on my itunes library only. In Windows Media you have a separate heading which just shows the names of all the Albums you have, so if you want to update / delete any of them you can just choose the relevant one. Can this be done on my iTunes Library? I have had a play around with the library but I can't seem to find a way. Can this be done? Heellllpppp please.

    Thank you, it was actually my boss, bless his heart, who has recently bought himself the iPod and he needed help with how to sort out his playlists etc. Many thanks for your answers, Shell

  • Why's my iPod Nano, 5th Generation, 8GB not showing the right album covers?

    Today, this morning, my iPod was fine. I added 2 new songs today and now it's gone all weird. If I go into my albums in a list all the covers are fine and dandy, no issue. But if I go into the side-scrolling menu everything's jumbled. I've got Britney Spears album 'In The Zone' on my iPod and that album cover, or a distorted version of it, now seems to have invaded way over half of my iPod! I don't understand why or how to fix it. I deleted the 2 songs I added today thinking they might somehow be jumbling it up but they're not. Everything else on iTunes seems to be fine. Please help!

    *I have restarted* it about a hundred times. I've tried re-uploading the old album artwork to a few of the affected albums and that makes no difference either it still stays distorted Britney instead. It's so frustrating I took hours getting all the right album covers and now it's all messed up
    Restarted your computer? Have you tried _resetting the iPod Nano?_
    I added 2 new songs today and now it's gone all weird.
    Delete those 2 songs from the iPod. If your artwork returns to normal, then those 2 songs somehow corrupted your iPod artwork. Download the 2 songs from somewhere else & re-enter into your iPod.

  • Can i have an ipod mini and an ipod nano on same account

    My daughter got an ipod mini 2 christmas's ago and so we have an itunes account. This christmas my son got an ipod nano because they had discontinued the minis. My son likes a lot of the songs that my daughter had on her ipod and i really dont want to use all that money just to rebuy songs. I was wondering if there was any way that I could use one account and they both have the same songs on their ipods.
      Windows XP  

    There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. One way is is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. You could create one playlist for the Mini and one for the Nano. Each playlist can have whatever songs you like in it drawn from the single library. Have a look at the article linked below: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

    I have an iPod nano model MC062LL (Version 1.0.2 PC) and the time/clock is an hour behind. I have set it properly (Settings->Date & Time->Time) but whenever I reset the iPod (which I do occassionally), it reverts back an hour.  BTW, my Time Zone is properly set to *Boston*.  I jog with this iPod so I'd like to have the proper times that I run.  Any help would greatly be appreciated!

  • Alarms get duplicated many times in an Event

    For some reason almost all my events(re-occuring or otherwise) have their alarms duplicated numerous times with in the event. I finally had to shutdown ical and go back in and adjust every event.
    Any idea of what causes this. For what it is worth I turned off .mac publishing too just in case this was the cause.
    --Mickey

    I'm not certain either why it happened.
    I used the script Link: [here|http://vocaro.com/trevor/software/applescript> as a basis for removing the duplicate events. The original script checks for a duplicate sound+display alarm, and duplicate sound alarms. However, my problem was with duplicate display alarms, so I changed the code after the comment
    +There's also a dupe if there are two sound alarms they're both set to the same trigger interval+
    from
    +if the (count of sound alarm of this_event) is equal to 2 then+
    to
    +if the (count of display alarm of this_event) is equal to 2 then+
    This worked for -existing- events.
    At the moment duplicates are not appearing in new events, so whatever went wrong before is not currently recurring.

  • Can any one advise me if the new ipod nano 7th gen has a sleep timer on it?

    I have just be giving a new style Ipod Nano 7th gen for christmas and wanted to know if it has the facility of playing music and setting up a sleep timer alarm so that it switches itself off after either 30min or 60mins?
    I have had an ipod nano 4th gen for about 4 years and it has this sleep timer facility on it which i absolutely love and use every night.
    So can anyone advise me on this and if it does still have this facility on the newer model that would be great and how i would go about setting it up on my new ipod nano 7th Generation.

    Thank you Chamar for replying to me, i will have a look at printing of the full manual and having a proper read throught it.
    Happy New Year to you all.
