ITunes 6 Duplicates Lyrics...

Since I upgraded to iTunes 6 I've noticed that when I paste lyrics in the lyrics tab for any song, it pastes the lyrics twice. Does anyone else have this problem?

We all do. It's a known bug, to be fixed in the next release.

How can I display lyrics in iPad, the song which I purchase in iTunes, and added lyrics in iTunes.

I just brought some song in iTunes, and add lyrics in it, can be display in MAC, but can't display in my IOS8 iPad . Please help!

For whatever reason the iPad will not display lyrics, I think its been this way since iOS 7. The iPhone will display them, but not iPad. I don't think its a bug, I think Apple wants it this way for some reason ... give your feedback here:

ITune Library duplicates

I have noticed many "postings" about duplicates being created in the iTune library with many suggestions about how to remove them (without any good permanent solutions). What I don't understand why does iTunes allow duplicates in the first place?
My second question is "why are the duplicates being created?". Is there a setting that can be selected to keep this from happening in the future?

Do the duplicates have a little cloud next to them?
Open iTunes
Preferences
Store
Uncheck Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases.

Itunes show duplicate, 1 with icloud and 1 without. are they both on hard drive?

itunes shows duplicates - 2 with icloud and 1 without.
are they both on hard drive?
which ones should i delete?

iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
The should then show in your iTunes library. They are not anywhere else.

ITunes creates duplicate entries

Hi.
I noticed that if I transfer a song to my iPhone, and later add lyrics or a cover (or even give a rate) to that song on my Mac, if I transfer the same song again to the iPhone, iTunes instead of updating the infos of the already existing song, creates a duplicate on the iPhone, that differs from the old one just for the detail I added later on the Mac.
Is that a known issue? Am I the only one experiencing this problem? How can I fix it?

I'm not really sure how unchecked tracks behave if they are synced to the device. I only uncheck things I really don't want to hear as a rule but don't actually want to throw away. E.g. interview tracks on an album. In the main library unchecked tracks will be skipped unless you specifically click on them to play them. Presumably it works the same way on the device, I've just never tested it.

ITunes making duplicates in second user account

I hope I can describe my issue properly. First of all let me start off by telling everybody that I am a new Mac user making the switch from PC so please be patient with this Mac noob.
That being said, I proceeded to setup my new Mac with all the software that I wanted on it before adding an additional user account for my wife. I went through the process of moving my music library over to my account (64Gb) and importing it into my library. I have an iPhone so I am pretty familiar with the iTunes interface.
Once I felt I had everything on this Mac that I wanted, I created a user account on the Mac for my wife to login to and setup sharing for her in iTunes so that we could use the same media folder rather than have 2 physical copies of the media across 2 user accounts on the same computer.
My problem is that when I tell iTunes on her account to find the music, it adds it into her library twice so there is 2 of every song and iTunes shows that there is 128Gb music in her library even though I can only find 1 copy of any of the music on the hard drive.
How can I clean this up?
I know that I can manually delete the duplicates from the library but with over 10,000 titles that would take more time than I care to think about.

Yeah, my mail account only has google, before it had google and icloud but only one of each. I may not have explained it properly though. Mail doesn't seem to be the problem, 10.8 seperated Notes and the Mail app, they no longer appear in Mail, but if I were to go to gmail.com they show up as duplicates (and many of them). When I switched my notes to icloud only, and go to icloud.com, the notes seem fine... with no duplicaes. Yet, in the "On My Mac" section of the Notes app, there is a folder labeled Recovered Items... where nearly every time I access notes, the most recent edited note displays duplicates.
I appreciate your input though, and I double checked what you suggested, no luck yet. I could switch to evernote but I love the formatting of "Notes"

ITunes adds duplicate songs when importing but not making copies in the iTunes Media folder?

This is an irregular problem and does not happen at every new import, but every now & again iTunes is creating duplicate files entries for the same song when I import my music folder.
Now I know many people post a similar problem, but before we start can I state that both the 'Keep iTunes Media folder organized AND "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are turned off, and always have been.
Right clicking on duplicates of a particular song proves that iTunes is not copying the file into it's own media folder and adding that to the library.
All listed entries for a particular song iTunes direct you to the same file in the same location in the finder.
I am currently just having to delete the duplicates everytime it makes them, although this is VERY time consuming!
Any ideas on what is causing it or what will fix the problem would be great!

Nevermind...I figured out my issue. The problem is that I'm an idiot.
When dragging my folders in, they not only had MP3 files, but a M3U file as well. iTunes was importing the M3U playlist, then the MP3s...that's how I was getting my dups.

Can't synch iPod classic to iTunes after updating iTunes. a duplicate file name was specified.

I can't synch my iPod classic. "A duplicate file name was specified." I tried on two different computers on which it had previously worked fine.

Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from the nominated folder that you have set up to sync photos to the devices.

Itunes Crashes - Duplicate Podcast Libaries

I have a problem where itunes created a new unwanted 'podcast library'.
Now when I try to update or refresh any podcasts in the original 'podcast library', itunes crashes.
I have a mac mini powerpc G4 operating osx 10.5.8. My version of itunes is 10.6.3.
Here is what happened: I suscribed to a new podcast from an internet browser while itunes was closed.
When itunes opened I found that it had created a second 'podcast library' (visible above the previous 'library' on the top left-hand side of itunes).
I also noticed that the small highlighted oval which lists the number of podcast episodes had disappeared from the old 'podcast library'.
When I try to update or refresh a podcast from the existing 'podcast library', itunes now crashes. However, I can still listen to old podcasts.
I tried to manualy delete the new 'podcast library' by going to my itunes Library Folder, but found that there is only one folder named 'podcasts' and it is the original one. I tried re-installing itunes 10.6.3 but the unwanted 'podcast library' still appeared.
Has anyone had this problem before? Is there any way to delete a duplicate podcast library that itunes created?
Thank in advance for your help!

ITunes creates duplicates in my iTouch...

I have a large number of Korean songs/artists in my iTunes library and I prefer to have the English first and then the Korean name/title. I've noticed that sometimes when I change the information for a song, I will have two of the same song on my iTouch but not in my iTunes library. (The song with the original information and another of the same song with the information that I changed) Does anyone else have this problem or know of a way to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Ed, I did have "Copy files to..." checked when I added music the first time. Per your advice, I've unchecked that box.
Question: What is the EHD?
You say I can delete the music not in my iTunes music folder, but all the duplicates are in there.
I've been looking in my iTunes player, selecting songs, and getting info to check its path in my hard drive. Depending on if the song ends in 1, 2, or with no number, I then know which version I can delete from the iTunes music folder. I can't even imagine how long it will take me to do this about 8000 times! I'm tempted to delete everything and start over, but reloading all my CDs will take me weeks as well...

ITunes creating duplicates in my Windows music folders?

I ran out of space on my local hard drive, so I moved iTunes and all my music folders to an external drive. I wish I had checked here first, and gotten the instructions to move my music, but I didn't. I just dragged everything to my external drive.
I guess I made a mess of this,because many songs were duplicated (and triplicated) in my music folders. I deleted everything and tried again. It seemed to work. This was a few weeks ago.
Tonight I noticed the space used on my external drive suddenly doubled from 30 GB to 60 GB. I started looking in album folders and I'm finding duplicates again. For example, it will list songs as "Honky Tonk Women", "Honky Tonk Women1", "Honky Tonk Women2", etc.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening, and how do I fix it? Manually deleting 8500 songs will take forever! If I sync my iPod, will I end up with duplicates in my iTunes library?

My itunes creates duplicates in my iphone

Fisrt I purchased Anamanaguchi through my iphones's itunes. Then I created a ringtone using a song from that album. Then the original song keeps playing ringtone part. In my macbook, it plays full song, but in my iphone, it plays only ringtone part, even though I deleted and repurchase, that problem still occurs. I connected with my itunes in macbook again and now it gives my iphone many duplicate songs. I tried deleting that ringtone and reboot my phone but it is still the same. I really tried of it. I will never connect my phone to macbook again

ITunes syncs duplicate photos (Identical RAW and JPEG)

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2398472
I just don't want iTunes to sync photo duplicates. I had brought this up before and this is still an issue for me. I'd love to know if there is an advanced Mac user that can help solve this issue. By preference, I have my camera save JPEG and RAW simultaneously, which means each photo gets placed on my iPods twice. Photos take up 21.6 GB, could be almost half (some videos in the photo folders). I've submitted a feature request / suggestion, but I would like to resolve this sooner than later.
I searched around, hoping to find some method on OS X of denying an application access to certain file types; haven't seen anything yet. Why is this not an issue for others? Am I really that much of an oddball for wanting both JPEG and RAW?

Thanks--the stacking approach seems to mostly work OK; not sure why I didn't think of it. IA problem though is that setting the slider for the time between shots to zero doesn't actually group shots having the same capture time--it seems to group nothing! Kind of pointless. You thus have to set the minimum time to 1s, which can put too many photos in a stack if you've been blazing away. I think I'd consider this a bug.

Help with iTunes ERROR: duplicate file name specified - where/how?

When starting up iTunes (version 10.6.1) I get an error message:
Duplicate file name was specified.
Needless to say, no clue as to what file name it is referring to. Furthermore, there are 5 songs which I can not play, bought from the iTiunes store. Contacted the iTunes store - they "enabled" the download for those 5 songs. When I connect to the iTunes store, login and check for downloads etc. I get the error message:
Unable to check for available downloads. Duplicate file name was specified.

The way to fix this is
1. Go to Computer
2. Click Operating System Hard-Drive (C:)
3. Scroll to Program Files (or) Program Files (x86)
4. Scroll to iTunes, open it
5. Find iTunes.exe
6. Right Click and go to Properties
7. Click Compatibility you will see something that stats
Privilege level
Run this program as an administrator.
8. Click this and Click Apply and then Ok NOW Open iTunes
This worked on mine let me know if it doesnt!

ITunes creates duplicate tracks on its own

Hello everyone,
I noticed recently that iTunes is creating duplicate tracks on its own. The new “tracks” all reference to the same file. Sometimes there are up to 4 duplicates (see screenshot). As you can see on the far right of the image, it seems that every time I ran iTunes the tracks are added.
I did not change anything recently, but noticed that iTunes also updates my Cover Art, even though I explicitly unchecked the checkbox the settings…might be connected to my issue.
Any advice is much appreciated!
regards
modtastic

Is the media folder stored on an external drive? If you start iTunes with an external disconnected it will "notice" and mark all tracks as missing. If you then add media by scanning folders it won't notice that it is already connected to the files and will add them again. Next time you start iTunes you can have two tracks linked to the same physical file.
How do you normally add media to the library?
To check your library for duplicates use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. Keep holding down shift until you have clicked on the text Show Exact Duplicates or it may still use the loser definition. If you don't see a menu bar press Ctrl+B to reveal it or Alt to show it temporarily.
If you find that you have true duplicates you need to manually select all but one of each group to remove, or use my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. The script attempts to take account of different types of duplicates which need to be handled differently, merges playcounts and preserves playlist membership. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.
iTunes doesn't generally do much in the way of background media updates, but it may reveal those enacted by something else, such as Windows Media Player.
