IPod shows 3 copies of songs-doesn't show up that way when connect to PC
Can anyone help me with this? I think there might be 2 and 3 copies of some songs either because I changed the genre on them when the iPod was hooked up to my computer, or because they are in several playlists. However, there are other songs that only appear once on my iPod and are in several playlists too. So that can't be it. The only thing I can think of is the changing of the genre thing. I had one album from an artist that was typed in all lowercase and I went in when it was hooked up to my computer and changed it, and now both the lowercase and the corrected name show up in my iPod. How do I get rid of these files or how can I fix it? I'm sure it's taking up space on my drive too. Please help. Thanks!
Okay, so here is a little more information. I do not automatically update my iPod, I have it set to manual because I use it with my computer at work which is a mac and my computer at home which is a PC. So my playlists aren't the same but I have all of my music that I want on my iPod. So what I want to know is, if you can go into your iPod when it's hooked up to your computer and delete songs and what not, then why when I change the genres, it shows up that the genre was changed when I hook it up to my computer, shows up that way on my iPod (so it got changed), but remembers the original genre that was assigned to it? Anyway, does that make sense or am I just making this more confusing?

Why would my iPod show a full battery when connected to power but when not connected it will no longer turn on
For both
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When I go to plug in my iPhone 5 to my PC it will charge my phone but it doesn't show up that it's connected to my computer or in iTunes. I have tried just about everything that I can find in the support discussions but nothing has worked. Any other suggestions?
If you have carefully follow ALL of the steps in that article, you are using a USB port directly on your computer and not a USB hub (don't use a front port on a tower or desktop either, as they are an internal hub) and you installed iTunes correctly using an Administrator ID and you have tried disabling your antivirus and firewall then there is no hope of it ever working. Look at the tip again, and go through it carefully, not skipping any steps.
Note, BTW, that an iPhone will not show up on a computer, only in iTunes. If there are photos in the Camera Roll then it will appear in Windows as a digital camera only. -

so i got ios 7 in beta on my ipod touch, now several months later, it says my ipod touch needs to be activated. it wont activate over wifi or when connected to itunes. how can i fix this?
You say you have iOS 7 beta. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum

Otherwise you are on your own since you have a bootleg copy

On itunes on my computer I took the time to sort my songs put them by the correct artists and albums and got all the cover art for it but when i go to put it that way on my iPod it doesn't work that way? Why is it showing multiple albums for the same album and no cover art for some albums and unknown artists for the artist? It says differently on Itunes on my computer.
Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!

My ipod classic has started making a mewling sound and all it does is scroll through the songs. It does not play on my Bose sound dock or through earbuds. It will play when connected to the computer...but that makes it hard to take it on a walk with me I thought it might be a synching problem so tried that--still doesn't work. How do I fix this problem with out restoring it to the factory setting? I do not want to lose all my music content as some of it I cannot replace easily. Please help with suggestions and advice. Thanks. Karen in GA
Have you recharge your iPod for at least 2 hours, preferably till the Full charge Battery symbol comes ON.?

Do you have iTunes set up to sync manually? That is required to drag and drop

Do you have any Restrictions set that would prevent syncing those songs? Settings>General>Restrictions -
