Itunes Duplicate issue (not covered in FAQ)

OK, So I have had duplicate problems before but this is first for me.
When I look at my collection in list it doesn't show any duplicates but when I look at it in Shows my TV show seasons are showing up muliple times. In the past I have had problems with them being split into multiple displays but this was easily fixed by ensuring the sorting data was in alignment. This time it is actually showing up more than once. which is quite odd? anyone know how to solve this?

In principle TV Shows are grouped on the Show field and within a show sub-grouped on Season No. In practice recent builds of iTunes and/or Apple TV firmware seem to be taking account of Album, Artist & Album Artist in certain views. For consistency I therefore suggest the following approach:
Show = Album = <Show Name>
e.g. "Heroes"
Artist = Album Artist = <Show Name> or <Show Name> Cast (or something like that)
e.g. "Heroes Cast"
Season No. = <Season No.> or <Blank> (Separate seasons or all listed together)
e.g. 1-2
Episode ID = s##e## (This field, sorted alphabetically, controls order)
e.g. s01e01 - s02e34 (use s##e### when >99 episodes)
Episode No. = Track No. = <Absolute Episode No.>
(Can also be per season, but abs. is better) e.g. 1 - 34
Disc No. = <Season No.> (Can be set even if merging seasons)
e.g. 1-2
Taking this approach you can always merge or split into individual seasons simply by clearing or setting the Season No. field.

Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs

FSoundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs? ?
Greetings..
Running into a bit of a issue here I can't seem to fix. I've gone through the troubleshooting guides and FAQs already and they aren't resolving the issue.
My normal setup is a couple of desktop speakers plugged to the rear of the card through the standard ports (non-digital) and a headset with mic plugged to the device in front that includes volume controls for both mic and speakers.
I've just did a complete reinstall of Windows XP (32 bit) including everything up through SP3 and a reinstall of the drivers and associated software applications for the card as well.
The problem I am having is that I can no longer make the rear speakers (desktop speakers) play when plugged in. The 2 headset speakers still play just fine that are plugged in the front however.
What should I do to resolve this issue so that I can have both the desktop speakers and headset speakers both playing? I'm fairly sure I'm just missing a setting somewhere but for the life of me I can't figure where to fix this.
Thank you,
Culann HS

JRe: Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Speaker issues not covered by FAQs0 I'm afriad that the CMSS3D option did not work? ? I still cannot get any speakers to play out of the rear of the soundcard.
As I said before, the goal is to try to get sound to play out of both the headset and the speakers attached to the rear of the soundcard simuntaneously.
The headset is plugged into one of those devices in the front that is in a 5 & /4" bay that has the individual knobs for adjusting volume for the headset and outbound levels for the microphone.
The speakers are plugged into the back of the soundcard and do not play any sound in any of the sockets, starting from the firewire port and counting 3 over.
Any suggestions? I? thought it might have something to do with the setting of the speakers from control panel - > Sounds and Audio Devices -> Advanced and picking the right choice there. No luck however. Same for the Creative Speaker Settings as well.
I'm at wits end and I'd be very thankful to whoever can resolve this for me. =)

My new iPod Classic will not sync with my new Mac Book. My iPhone 5 does, so does 2nd gen. iPod touch. Apple Store cannot figure it out. Tried different Classics on different Macs, same thing. iTunes update issue ?

The iPod Classic I bought a month ago is not synching with my new Mac Book I bought 3 weeks ago. All the software was immediately updated. My iPhone 5 synchs fine, and so does my 2nd generaton iPod Touch. The original computer I synched all of these devices on was my HP latop. I bought my Mac and Classic to the Apple Store for a 'Genius Appt' and they could not figure out what the problem is. The connected my Classic to another computer and the same thing happens. It says device is not recognized. They also took other iPod Classics and connected them to my Mac and other Macs. The same thing was happening. They took notes and said it probably is an iTunes update issue.
I can manually drag songs into my Classic but I lost all playlists because it cannot be backed up as well and they had to restore it. For now I am holding on to it but it's usless to me if I cannot use it the way I liked too. I used it for the gym and bike riding and my last iPod battery died after 6 years. A charge would last 45 miutes. I love the Classic for what I use it for but it's a $275 brick to me now. At least the renewed by receipt so I can get a full refund.
Is anyone else seeing this issue ? The Apple Store employee said he saw a first generation iPad havng the same issue. As of now the Support Dest is unaware of this. As much as I love my new Mac I am disappointed I cannot sync my new Classic to it. Total bummer.
Any help would be apprecated.

By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

Issue: I synced my iphone with itunes, I then deleted many songs from the iphone, when I sync to itunes again is there any way to have itunes duplicate what it sees on the iphone rather than the other way around?

so, if I delete all music on itunes then connect my iphone all my music on the iphone will then be deleted?

I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?

Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

HT1844 Library Issue: I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes. They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them.

Library Issue: I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes. They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them. They show up in the search box, but when I click on the results it just kicks me to ALL my music. I have imported thousands of songs/CD's before and this is a new one.

Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Making another change to the library such as downloading the current iTunes Free Single of the Week, or deleting one track from your library and reimporting it, should fix the problem.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up which ought to correct things.

HT2905 How to remove duplicate songs from the iPhone when the duplicates are not listed in the iTunes library on the computer.

How can I remove duplicate songs from the iPhone4. The duplicates are not listed in the computer iTunes library.

The simplest thing may be to back-up and then restore the iPhone. If you don't fancy that then remove all media that is currently synced to it, then double check and manually remove any media that remains on the device, before reselecting your sync options.
If you've been manually managing the device and your library doesn't contain copies of all your media then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Repair Status: Could not duplicate issue??

Step 2 Service January 11, 2013: Could not duplicate issue
Step 3 Return January 11, 2013: Original product shipped
I read online that someone called apple(similar service) and they were sending a replacement but his said original as well. So is my ipod touch 5g going to be fixed or not? I couldn't listen to headphones because the jack broke. How hard is it for them to test putting some earpods in??

No one here can know what you tried when you don't say. Experience has shown that many people can overlook what we might think to be obvious troubleshooting steps, so many of us offer any suggestion we think might help when it's not mentioned explictly by the questioner as having been tried.
There is therefore no reason for you to be rude to lllaass, you not having said anything about what you had tried. S/he has done his/her best to try and be of help. No one here gets paid to help you, so it pays to be polite if you have any hope of getting help in the future.

click on the store tab on the top left of iTunes. Scroll to where it says "Authorize this computer...". Click on that and enter your apple id and password then click authorize. The reason iTunes says that your computer needs to be authorized is because it is to be sure that iTunes knows can trust your new computer

Using ITunes Tutorials will not play. Using windows XP. All software up to date. I know others have had the same issue, however I have not seen a solution. I appreciate any advice.

I have traced the problem to a corrupted profile. When I captured the images in question, I also used Color Cherckr to create a profile for processing. When I apply that profile to the adjustments I make, I can no longer "Edit In". If I use another profile, even one that I created using Color Checkr at a different point in time, I don't have the issue. Something seems to have corrupted the new profile. I will re-create the profile and see if the issue is resolved.

HT203433 My purchased section is not recognizing an album I purchased on my iPhone 2 days ago. iTunes 11 issue?

My purchased section is not recognizing an album I purchased on my iPhone 2 days ago. iTunes 11 issue? My phone shows the purchase but iTunes does not see it. I have gone to Store: Check for Available Downloads. Nothing. I would love to listen to this album on my iMac today, not my phone.

By purchased section do you mean the section for re-downloading via the iTunes store homepage, or the purchased section of your library ? I think that the purchased section of your library only shows purchases made on that computer, so it may necessarily show there, it may just be under Music if you've copied it over from your phone.
If you mean the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage then does any of your music purchases show there (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If no music shows there then you should be able to copy it over from your phone to the music part of your library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. If other music purchases show there then you are signed in with the same account as you purchased it with, it's still in the store, and it's not hidden (hiding and unhiding) ?
If you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you can turn on automatic downloads via the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) so that new purchases on your phone automatically download on your Mac

Syncing issues - "not more than 5 iTunes accounts"

I just received, activated and synched my new iPhone4. Activation was a breeze, but when I tried copying music and a couple of movies from my iTunes library, I got the message:
"Some of the iTunes Store files in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone because the iPhone may only contain content from five iTunes Store accounts."
I ran the Track Down Purchases script (from Doug's Scripts) on my entire library, which revealed one song from a sixth account that I then deleted. I re-synched but got the same message as above. Quitting out of iTunes and then re-launching made no difference. Short of looking at each song individually, is there another approach for showing account ownership of purchased iTunes music that might reveal additional problem songs?
Also, does anyone know a way to show which account purchased which songs in my iPhone library? The Track Down Purchases script works only my computer's iTunes library, not the iPhone's (or iPod's).

I did that with my 3GS before ever starting the activation process for the 4, having gotten the not-all-your-iPhone-purchases-are-in-your-library message when I did one last backup of the 3GS. I then activated the 4, synched, got the 5 accounts message, ran Doug's script, deleted the song, and re-ran the script with no additional accounts showing up (though I can't remember if the second pass-through was before or after re-launching iTunes).
Weirdly, when I later tried to erase my 3GS, I again got the message that not all the songs purchased on my 3GS were in my iTunes library. I did the file->transfer purchases two more times and kept getting the not-transferred message and finally just erased the thing.

HT5731 When I try to purchase a off itunes, it does not give me the option to buy. I am signed into my account and have a balance on my account. Has anyone had the same issue?

When I try to purchase from itunes, it does not give me the option to buy. I am logged into my acoount and have a balance to purchase songs/music with. Has anyone else had this problem?

Is the item compatible with your model iPod and iOS version? If not you will not get a Buy option.
Have you purchased media from that country's iTunes?App store before?
