Some of my songs are listed twice on my iPod itself. However, when I plug the iPod into my computer, the songs don't show up twice in iTunes when I click on device/music. How do I get rid of the duplicate songs on my iPod?

that is odd! that should not be happening.
Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

Are all songs checked in your playlist?

HT1660 My itunes library has automatically started to list my songs alphabetically. I do not want this. How do I change it so that when albums come up, the songs are listed in the order of the imported album, NOT alphabetically.

For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

ITunes 10 - artwork back for all songs in list view!

Hi Everyone,
iTunes 9 had an option in list view, were you could see the album artwork for all song on the left. iTunes 10 do not have this option or you can see them only for albums in the album list view. Apple say, it is good for saving space. But c'mon, what if I do not have albums, just single songs, I cannot see the artwork for them? In my opinion artwork is also useful, because you can identify song better you like, you can more easily search for them! So I would like to have this option back! Hope for an update!

let Apple know via _*iTunes feedback*_.

I just moved my Itunes content to a computer with Win 7. I can only get "songs" in list view. How do I correct this so I can see Artist and Genre also in list view. The box to show all list in list view is checked but it only shows album view

I just moved all my itunes content to a windows 7 computer. I can only get "songs" in list view. Genre and Artist show as Album views. The box in preferences is checked so that all lists should show as list. How can I get a list view for Artists and Genre also?

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

A song is listed as being 4:17 seconds but stops after 35 seconds and moves onto the next song, this happens in iTunes and on my iPod Touch 4th gen, both are recently updated to the latest software and the album was purchased today.

This is bugging me quite a bit, I bought an album today and it lists the song as being 4 mins 17 seconds. However, as I mentioned, on both platforms it stops at around 35 seconds and flicks onto the next song in the case of iTunes or just stops playing audio for my iPod Touch 4th gen. It is a full song on Youtube and everywhere else I seem to look, so is this likely to be a software issue with iTunes/iOS or the song itself perhaps?
Many thanks to any who can help!

That suggests the track is damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Had to have my hard drive rebuilt in my PC (not Mac). When I reinstalled my music library from iTunes, several of the songs did not download properly - they appear in light colored ink on my library list but the songs will not play and will not synch

Installed new iTunes, can't see songs located on ext. drive w/o importing!

The hard disk in my laptop recently failed. Luckily, I had my iTunes backed up on my external drive. Now that I have a new internal drive, I'm trying to get iTunes to access the library of music from the external drive.
I already know how to change where iTunes looks for the music library in the Advanced Preferences of iTunes, as I've done that. The problem is, there is no index of the songs in my music library when I open iTunes: no songs are listed when I click to see what's in the library. I don't want to load all of the mp3s, etc., from my external drive onto my new internal drive, because I want to save space.
This worked before my internal hard drive crashed, because all of the song titles and albums were still listed in my iTunes library when I moved the actual mp3s to my external drive... since my hard drive crashed and I reinstalled iTunes, it shows nothing in the library, even though I linked iTunes to my external drive music file folder via Advanced Pref in iTunes.
Anybody able to help?
Many Thanks!
Paul

*The problem is, there is no index of the songs in my music library when I open iTunes*
Correct. You need to add the songs to iTunes.
iTunes does not watch a folder to see what is in it.
Do this;
iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
Set the location of the iTunes music folder to where your music is on the external drive.
Now go to File -> Add folder to library an dpick this folder.
It will put the music into iTunes library and the music will stay/go where you set the iTunes prefs to.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically importing songs I listen to from my external hard drive into the music library?

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

Family shares an itunes account and ALL songs loaded on my phone with ios 7. how do I get only my songs?

My family shares an itunes account and ALL their songs loaded on my phone with ios 7 upgrade. Previously, while I could SEE songs "Not on this iPhone" they did not reside on my phone. How do I get only my songs? Do I have to sync with my computer? Help...

This is sad, as I am replying to myself. Upon further review I see that while all songs are LISTED, that are not actually there. By going to Settings - iTunes & App Store - "Show All" I was able to "turn off" SEEING purchases not made on my phone. Solved my own problem, but the way it looks in IOS 7 is confusing.

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order. This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes. If I just hit play, this doesnt happen. As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order. Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it. When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example). But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason. Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening. Any thoughts?

The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order.

I have two albums (RCA Sweeny Todd 2 discs set and RCA Into the Woods 1 disc) where the songs are listed as being on the same album on the list view, but do not group together on the iPod, so the songs can't play consecutively, or in the proper order. The "Apply Sort Field" and "Same album does not work, but ti is only these two RCA albums that do this. All other albums remain intact. Need help with this minor problem. Thanks.

UPDATE: This behavior (to an extent) still happens when "Repeat Album" is off. Instead of an infinite loop, it goes through all the tracks on the album (unsuccessfully) and kicks me out to the Album overview screen. Going back to list of Albums and tapping the Album again brings up "No Content: You can download music from the iTunes Store" but that screen immediately kicks me back to list of Albums.
So I am just even more confused now.

Can iTunes show albums just once in list of albums?

For illustration purposes:
If I have just one album in my library by a single artist: In Album grid view, I'd see one album cover as expected. If you double click the cover you'd see the list of songs in that album - all as expected.
If you click list view (upper right) while looking at the one album cover, you expect to see one line of text with the artist's name, and then if more detail is desired, clicking that text line, you'd get the the list of songs.
Not so... iTunes shows all the songs in that album when going from Album grid view (1 album), to Album list view - all songs in that album.
So... being that I have 100's of albums, instead of seeing a list of albums, I see a list of all songs.
It seems that the only way to see all the albums in your library is in the graphic album cover view?
Can't I see just a text listing of all my albums?

I have 553 artists, 1045 albums and 12,045 songs. What I would like is to see a list of just my 553 artists. Instead I see a list of all 12,045 songs sorted by artist/album. This is very unusable way to look at the data. We need a hierachical view.
Since I have 4 AC/DC albums, for example, my list starts out with AC/DC listed under Artist 40 times since there are 4 albums each with 10 tracks.
I would hope there's a way to just show AC/DC once, with an arrow or ability to double click to open this up just like it was a folder in Finder list view.
Doing so would show me 4 AC/DC albums, clicking any of those would show me the tracks for that album.
I want to see by artist:
AC/DC
Aerosmith
Al Green
And then if I open AC/DC:
AC/DC
--Back in Black
--Dirty Deeds
--High Voltage
--Powerage
Aerosmith
Al Green
If I open Back/Black:
AC/DC
--Back in Black
----Hells Bells
----Shoot To Thrill
----etc...
--Dirty Deeds
--High Voltage
--Powerage
Aerosmith
Al Green
There needs to be a way to collapse all the songs down into by albums and down into by artist.

ITunes just plays one song at a time now

It seems like prior to this last update, my iTunes would play each song within a playlist (one song after another, etc).
But now, after it plays one song, it just stops. These are the exact same playlists that it used to play all the way through (one song after another, according the order of the songs within the playlist).
Does anyone know why iTunes stops playing after one song (within a playlist)? Then, I select the next song manually, and it plays it, but of course it stops playing once again when it gets to the end of that song too. Basically it just stops playing after each song. Why won't it just keep playing (each song) like it used to?

Are there check marks beside all the songs in the playlist? Unchecked songs have to be clicked on individually to play them, checked songs will play one after the other. If you hold down the CRTL key and click beside any song in your list then all the check boxes can be toggled on or off: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
