IPod Touch duplicating album! Help!

I have a compilation folder of music that I made called "Dave's Mix". In this folder are the songs I like to listen to that I don't want in an album as I listen to these songs predominantly. I've made sure that the Album Name says "Dave's Mix", checked the track numbers to them all to ensure they were blank, also went into iTunes itself and did the "sorting" trick to make them all equal. But nothing is working at all here. I'm starting to get a little aggravated.
Other than that, I love the new iPod Touch. Thing is slick, has the internet on it..apps..really cool little device!
Can anyone solve this one up?

Fixed it!
I found that when I went into iTunes, clicked "Sorting", and then "info"..there was a checkbox for "This is part of a compilation". I checked the songs, and bingo! Got it!

  • New iPod Touch, duplicated albums with same songs in each album?

    I was wondering if anyone could offer me some help. I got a new iPod touch today in replacement of my old 8G one, and i transferred all my music okay, but when i went onto my albums option on my ipod, it listed several of the same albums with same songs on them, eg. my Watchmen soundtrack appears at least 7 times, all with the same songs. why is this? and i was it only with some of my music? can anybody help me please?

    an ID3 Tag is the data that is used to properly identify the music that is playing on the track. For instance, if you have a song playing on your iPod, it'll tell you the song name and artist, and what disc it's on. That's what the ID3 Tag is responsible for. Otherwise it'd just read the filename of the track and call it like that. No organization whatsoever.

    - Try using the Spotlight search. It is likely you just can't find it.
    - Next try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Last, restore the iPod.

  • HT4236 I HAVE 2 HARD DRIVES ON MY LAPTOP. MY PHOTOS ARE ON 1 HARD DRIVE & MY ITUNES IS ON ANOTHER HARD DRIVE. I AM HAVING TROUBLE SYNCING THE PHOTOS FROM THE SEPERATE HARD DRIVE ONTO MY IPOD TOUCH. ANY HELP?

    I HAVE 2 HARD DRIVES ON MY LAPTOP. MY PHOTOS ARE ON 1 HARD DRIVE & MY ITUNES IS ON ANOTHER HARD DRIVE. I AM HAVING TROUBLE SYNCING THE PHOTOS FROM THE SEPERATE HARD DRIVE ONTO MY IPOD TOUCH. ANY HELP?

    There is a whole lot of bad going on there.
    There are problems both drive errors and USB errors.  I don't believe it.
    I have a hunch the drive is starving for power. 
    USB devices are supposed to function all the way down to 4.25V.  Not all do.
    USB ports are supposed to be able to deliver 4.25V at the end of the cable at 500mA.  Not all do.
    USB 2.0 devices are not supposed to draw more than 100mA unless they negotiate for more.  Some violate that.
    USB 2.0 devices are never supposed to draw more than 500mA. Some violate that.  Especially disk drives.
    My guess is that your drive is drawing excess current and the voltage drop through the port and cable are dropping you below 4.25; or at least below the voltage that your drive goes "Tango Uniform"[1].   Does your drive have the option for external power?  If so try it.  Following up on wtx's comment;  USB 3.0 is capable of delivering more power.   Also, some drives have used a cable that violates just about every aspect of the USB specification:  A "Y" cable that plugs into two host ports to provide more power to the guest.  I despise this solution with every fiber of my electrical engineering existence; never-the-less, you might try one.

    I can't find the songs I just bought on my iPod touch. Any help you can give me is appreciated.. Thank you

    If they've finished downloading then they should be in the iPod's Music app - is that where you've looked for them ? If they don't show in there then have you tried closing the Music app via the iPod's taskbar and/or tried a soft-reset of your iPod to see if they then show up in Music ?

  • HT4205 cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

    cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

    What are you trying to AirPlay to? The AirPlay icon only appears if you have an AirPlay receiver ready to accept the media from the iPod.
    Also, see the following. The 2G not hot have iOS 4.3 or higher.
    From the Videos, iPod, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps on iOS devices, stream videos, music, and photos to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or stream music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.
    With iOS 4.3 and later, you can also stream video and audio from a website or a third-party app installed on your iOS device if the developer for the app or website has added AirPlay functionality.

  • 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

  • Pls Advise Why my iPod Touch's Albums: Tiny black screens, not pictures

    Hello,
    I've got a 16GB iPod Touch, 1st generation with 2.1 Software Update. I manage the music manually on a Windows XP desktop. I love this device and have been loving it since i got it as a Valentine's gift early this year.
    I'd customized some of the album art images with jpgs found online, saved to hard drive. this was especially useful for those albums (homemade) that didn't have cover art associated with on iTunes/Gracenotes or wherever apple goes to find cover art.
    The problem now is that in the Music Folder, when I browse Albums on the Vertical (not Cover Flow) view, some images are 1) misplaced i.e. Snoop Dogg's picture where Chaka Khan's should be or 2) images are replaced with a tiny black screen. (this isn't the negative black screen I've been reading about) There seems to be some error in how the Album View Vertical is working. When I flip through the images in Cover Flow (Horizontal) every thing is fine; even the tiny black screens of the Vertical mode show their true picture in horizontal Cover Flow. i'm wondering about the tiny black screen, since I usually get a musical note image if there is no art, not a black screen.
    So here are my questions:
    1) Why am I getting tiny black screens instead of album art images in the Albums preview screens?
    2) Could this be related to some general sluggish responses to the screen at times?
    3) I have two total pages of applications that work fine (if sluggish--the NYTimes is a big culprit in the sluggishness department-even blanking out the iPod, but even sweet Wurdle can act up), would this be related?
    4) Is there a way to fix this tiny black screens issue without having to wipe the whole iPod clean (sniff! fingers crossed!)
    Thanks!

    I had the exact same issue and just spent a good chunk of time fixing things. I made note of each bad album - covers were OK in Cover Flow and when song was playing but vertical scroll and tiny thumbnail in the corner of the tracks window showed only a black thumbnail - then deleted these albums from my iPod. Then I went back and re-added these albums to my iPod but added them ONE AT A TIME by showing the artwork column in my library and dragging them over by the artwork and waiting for each album to finish and finish syncing before dragging the next one over. This seems to have brought back the tiny thumbnails and fixed the problem for now. I have no idea why it did this but I think there's an artwork bug in iTunes that needs to be fixed in the next update as many others have said that dragging over too many albums at once seems to cause issues with artwork showing up in general.
    I know it sounds like a pain to drag over one album at a time and wait for it to finish but it seems to be the only way to do things for now. Hope this helps.

  • IPod Touch 2G need help to restore

    Ok so I have an itouch 2g that I am having a lot of problems. My little sister got her hands on it and I have no idea what she did but it seems the firmware on the ipod got corrupted and I have been pulling my hair out trying to get this thing to restore.
    The ipod will not turn on or charge by plugging into the usb port on any computer, I have tried 2 laptops and a desktop. The ipod WILL charge using a wall charger but when I plug it in the ipod gets stuck in a loop, it turns on with the apple logo and gets stuck there with no progress bar then restarts and keeps doing that over and over. If I plug it into the wall charger while holding the home key it brings me to the plug into itunes logo screen but it is plugged into the wall and as soon as I disconnect it it shuts off.
    When I plug it into the computer and try to turn it on by holding the power/sleep and home button windows says unknown or unrecognized device and is unable to get it to connect. I can get it into DFU mode by holdin the power/sleep button and home key for 10 seconds then just the home key for 10 seconds, the screen remains black but windows pops up saying it has found a DFU ipod and itunes recognizes the ipod saying it has found an ipod in restore mode and to use it I have to restore it. When I try to restore the ipod using itunes it downloads the approprate firmware without a problem, verifies it with apple, and extracts it. The next step though is itunes says "preparing ipod for restore" and at this time windows makes the sound of the usb device being disconnected which I can confirm with device manager. Apparently itunes it resetting the ipod out of DFU mode to perform the restore but since windows will not recognized the ipod unless it is in DFU mode, the restore process fails here because the ipod never reconnects to the computer. While it is waiting for the ipod to reconnect I have even tried putting the ipod back into DFU mode to see if I can help it reset the ipod but all itunes does is disconnect it again.
    Is there any way to completely restore the firmware through the DFU mode connection without itunes having to restart the ipod which will not work? Is there some kind of tool that can force the firmware onto the harddrive of the ipod through the DFU mode connection? I know the ipod functions and its not a hardware issue because like I said DFU mode works, itunes recognizes it as an ipod in recovery mode when loaded in DFU, when plugged into a power source the ipod turns on and requests to be plugged into itunes which makes it appear to me that the firmware got corrupted and this is why it cannot identify itself to windows to connect normally via USB and therefore charge etc.
    So the problem long story short is that I can get the ipod into DFU mode to restore firmware but for some reason itunes won't load the firmware through DFU and attempts to restart the ipod into a different mode but windows won't recognize it unless it is in DFU so the restore process fails.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, I won't throw this ipod out because it seems to be a software issue not hardware related.

    Welcome to the discussions keithwired.
    It looks like [Unbricking Your iPod Touch with the Manual DFU Procedure|http://thesmithfam.org/blog/2008/03/19/unbricking-your-ipod-touch-wit h-the-manual-dfu-procedure> should not be giving you the problem you describe. I'm not sure if you followed this same procedure or not.
    Perhaps trying it on another computer or connected to a different USB port would help. No hubs - straight connection. It's best if you remove all USB devices except mouse and keyboard, reboot, and then connect.
    Also, be sure you have disabled any anti-virus software.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iPod touch duplicated a playlist 1000's of times

    Happy New Year!
    I created a new playlist on my iPod touch 3rd generation at work yesterday.  I have done this numerous times before without any shenanigans.  I played the playlist with no problem.  This morning I went to listen to it again and found that there were over 8000 ( yes 8000 ) duplicates.  I can't confirm because I haven't been able to find the original but all of the duplicates are empty.  I'm running iOS 5.0.1 and Lion on my mba and iMac.  I think that pretty well covers it.
    My questions are:
    1.     Is there any way for me to do a mass deletion of all these duplicates?  One at a time doesn't seem like any fun at all.
    2.     I don't think there is anything I did that caused this but is that possibly not the case?
    3.     Is this an iOS issue or something to do with iCloud?
    I am using iTunes match if that might have anything to do with it.
    This seems very curious to me.  I can hardly wait to see if anybody has an idea as to what caused this.  And I'll be very happy if someone can please tell me how to get rid of all those empty playlists.
    Thank you for your comments and help in advance.  I've never had any apple device do anything like this before.
    Regards, Richard
    P.S.:  I sync the iPod to my mba.  Thanks to iCloud it displays the 8000+ playlists as does my iMac.  Oh, and the name of the playlist is AKG ( asian kung-fu generation ) if that might have some kind of bearing on the situation.  Thank you.R3

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Ipod Touch: My Issues, help needed as fast as possible

    Well recently i got an Ipod Touch 2nd Generation for christmas, and i must say i love it. But i have got some serious problems. 1) all applications that were not standard on the itouch crash unexpectedly and the only way to rectify this issue is to download something from the app store and they work again :S. Yes that is as bizarre as it sounds. Sometimes it will work fine and i can use any of my apps whenever i like. But frequently(more frequently as time goes on) the applications dont open, i touch them they open the background for the app and they take me back to the main screen. I have tried the following: reseting the iPod, restoring it to factory settings, uninstalling apps and then re-installing and this issue is resolute. I also happen to know that some other 2nd Generation Touch owners at my school have the very same issue. I have seen some threads dotted about explaining their issues that are similar to this, meaning its fairly widespread.
    My second issue is really bugging me, i opened the itunes store for the first time on my iPod(i never get any of my music from itunes normally i detest the application.) and all of a sudden it downloaded a podcast without me telling it to. It was called Podhead: The DoorWhores Off to vegas. This is something i really do not wish to have on my iPod. So i synced it to my windows OS and tried to re-sync the iPod's podcasts with my library so that it would dissappear. But it didn't, i then tried setting it to manually putting files on my ipod and alas it doesnt show up in the podcasts sub section of the device. I tried playing the podcast and it takes me to the home screen of my ipod with the Play triangle flickering constantly in the top right of my ipod. I don't know what is going on with that but i havnt restored it to factory settings after this issue, mainly because my iPod refuses to accept that i own all of the apps i have backed up and i have no desire to manually re-download them to my ipod.
    3) That last scentence brings me nicely onto my final problem which is this: my computer tells me that i do not have the authority to put onto my ipod. Despite all of them being free and despite all of them having being backed up from my ipod.
    Any help with these issues would be much appreciated. I am in desperate need of assistance before i come to the end of my tether and resign myself to a long trip to the nearest apple store. thanks in advance

    Did you try to restore your iPod to factory settings and add your apps one by one to find out which app causes the crash? Try not to restore from a backup it may contain the corrupt parts you don't want to install again.
