IPod Touch Duplicates Albums and Artists

Hi, I recently got a 3rd Gen iPod Touch (64gb) and have had some trouble after syncing it to my iTunes library. My old iPod never had any problems, but after syncing the iPod Touch many of the albums and some of the artists in my library appear twice.
I've checked for spaces after the names or different album artwork, but the real problem is that the albums or artists are listed twice in their entrety - every song appears twice. Is there any fix for this?

I also recently got a 3rd gen iPod Touch (32GB) and saw the same feature.
It appeared that if an album had different artists then the album was duplicated for each different artist name.
A solution which seems to work is to set the compilation to 'yes' :-as follows
Select all the tunes in the album
Get info
asks - do you want to edit information for multiple items - yes
Select Options tab
Part of compilation - set to yes
Resync

  • Ipod touch isnt organizing music (artists and albums) and no search bar

    my ipod touch stopped organizing the artists and albums in the music application since the last time i synced music... so when i go to music, artists, i see the artists not organized in letters.. it used to organize them, it used to put each artist in a letter section (the letter that the artist's name starts with)
    and the search bar on the right side isnt showing up as well
    and the same thing is happening with the albums section...
    why is that happening and how ??

  • Can I return my Ipod touch 4th generation and get an Ipad, if my Ipod is still under warranty?

    Can I return my Ipod touch 4th generation and get an Ipad 2, if my ipod is still under warranty?

    The warranty doesn't cover that. Sell it and put the money towards a new device.

    Hey Babetta94,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, the iPod is not recognized in iTunes. A frustrating situation to be sure. You haven't mentioned what OS the computer you are using uses. You can choose what article to use either OS X or Windows from this quoted section.

  • ITunes freezes when I plug my iPod Touch 4 in and it won't sync.

    Ok guys,
         So recently, I have had MAJOR problems with my iPod touch (not jailbroken) and they're driving me INTO INSANITY!!! So, a few weeks ago, I added a movie I downloaded onto my iTunes. All **** broke loose from there. At first I wasn't able to sync. My iPod was detected but it wouldn't sync unless I restored it. Later, it began to not sync unless I plugged it into my computer without iTunes up. iTunes began to freeze and become unresponsive. When it froze, it would began to actually sync, just not say. Then it began to not sync at all, and now I can't do anything.
         I am at my witts end. I am deperate. I have tried averything under the sun from deleteing practically everything on my iTunes to updating iTunes to trying to reset Bonjour. Down below are links to every problem I have. They keep piling on each other to where I can't find just one post to describe. And these people decribe it better than I do. Can anyone help? I don't want to have to reset iTunes or re-install. I have precious apps that NEED to be backed up.

    I forgot to mention, whenever it does sync, it just gets stuck staying "verrifying ipod".
    Try having that topped off with freezing.

    HHHHHEEEELLLLPPPP!!!! PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!!

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

  • New to ipod touch - several issues and ?s - any help will be appreciated

    Hello - I received an ipod touch for christmas and have been enjoying it tons! I’m having a “duh” moment…can you please help. How do I move the icons around from page to page? I was able to get it to work once - but don’t know how I did it and now can’t figure it out any more.
    Two other questions… 1) when I downloaded a music video from itunes, it was saved under the “video” folder - well, it would not let me play it. An error would appear saying that it is unable to play the video. Then, the “graphic” beside the video, was of the cover of another movie I had purchased???
    2) My music had been playing just fine. I had been downloading cd’s onto my ipod (thru itunes) on a computer at home, then I came into the office (because I do not have internet at home) and purchased songs via itunes store and ever since then, when I try to play music it scrolls really fast through the song titles and arrow flashes in the top right corner and there is not any sound. Sometimes it will also display a frame of one of the movies I have saved while doing this as well - but will not play any music and freezes.

    E J, Welcome to the discussion area!
    How do I move the icons around from page to page?
    Touch and hold your finger on one of the application icons. When they start dancing you can drag the icons where you want them. To get them to another page, drag them right or left to the edge of the page and the page will change.

  • Our household has two IPhones, two IPod Touches, 1 IPad and 1 computer. we want to have it all under the same Apple ID for the purpose of Home Sharing, but my two kids iPODs cannot use their facetime or messaging becuase it shows they are on my iphone.

    HELP! We have several Apple devices in our household (2 iPHOnes, 2 IPOD touch, 1 iPAD), and cannot get them to work correctly becuase my two children have to be under my creditcard and apple account. When I do this they cannot send me messages or facetime me, and when then try to do so with their friends it says my name and IPhone. Also, my husband and I want two seperate credit cards for iTUNEs but want to take advantage of the home share, but the one computer we have will not let us share. and had to have 2 apple ids created. WHy is this so confusing? Cant I reset everything under my Apple ID, and allow everyone to have their own email accounts and identity? ON top of all this, I have two AppleIDs, because my original one was a yahoo account and they changed over to me.com, now icloud.com/ HELP
