Itunes duplicates on import (PLEASE HELP)
I recently tried to move my iTunes to a GoFlex cloud and start a new iTunes library on there, my ultimate goal was to beable to get all my music from iTuens to my Android Google Play Cloud. However, when I moved the library and went to reimport it to iTunes using the File>Add Folder to Library then selecting the folder i put all the music in on the GoFlex cloud it would import it but I have duplicates of almost all the songs when there aren't any duplicates in the original folder. WHat is causing this?! I don't want to go through a library of 2,000 plus songs or say 70+artist folders with subfolders to check if there are duplicates when I know there are not. If you could help me ASAP-as I am trying to get my music library organized for college next year that would be great. Because right now I have NO iTunes, nothing on my Google cloud, and even worse a HUGE MESS with ALL my music.
GoFlex cloud? Battery powered Wi-Fi network drive??? Sounds neat.
I suspect something went wrong with the workflow when you moved the media to the drive or attempted to update it. I've written a script called DeDuper which may help remove unwanted duplicates, but for it to work properly all there must be no broken links, and all the media in the media folders should have been added to the library. In addition there is a risk of deleting the only copy of a file if the same media file has been added to the library from two different network paths, e.g. via both an UNC name and a mapped drive letter.
See this thread for background on the script.
Feel free to post back with details of what you see in the library vs. what is in the corresponding folder for a typical set of duplicates in case I can see an easy fix or a way to make sure my script can't make matters worse rather than better.

Hi. My itunes library is in current 10.5.2 but my old ipod touch 4th or 3rd gen is not updating at all its still in current 4.2 and there is some apps i cant download that requires a 4.3 update but in my itunes it wont. Please help!
Are you sure you have a 4g/3g iPod? If you don't have a camera, it's definitely not 4G. If it has no camera and is 8 or 16 Gb it is a 2G and can't go beyond 4.2.1.

I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -

I have never been able to open my itunes store. I was on the phone with support for 1.5 hours today, no luck. I would like to purchase a book only available on itunes. Can someone please help!
I have tried
- setting time and date
- uninstalling

- changing credit card
Any other suggestions?Update your safari. Install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569
The itunes store relies on certain components of safari, regardless of if you use it or not. -

Toggle iMessage Off then On
Turning iMessage off then on again worked for my particular issue. You can do this by following these steps:
From the Home screen, open “Settings“.
Select “Messages“
Slide “iMessages” to off for about 3 minutes, then turn it back on.
Your iPhone will be re-registered and may clear up the duplicate text message notification problem.
Repeat Alerts Setting
There is a setting that repeats notifications which could cause this issue. Check it with these steps:
From the Home screen, open “Settings“.
Select “Notification Center“.
Choose “Messages“.
Ensure that the “Repeat Alerts” setting is set to “Once“.
Send & Receive Setting
Another setting that involves sending notifications to multiple numbers could be the issue as well. Check the following:
From the Home screen, open “Settings“.
Select “Messages“.
Choose “Send & Receive“.
Ensure that only your phone number is listed in the “You can be reached by iMessage at” area. If you have an email address or anything else listed, it could cause duplicate text messages. -

downloaded itunes 0.6 on my ipod over wifi, however when connected to my computer it would not recognise my ipod and suggested i went to www.itunes .com/uk but could not find or download 6, so now cannot sync my ipod with itunes on my computer, please help cheers.
By wiping both iPhone and iPod and trying syncing with another computer I've come to the conclusion that something with MobileMe sync is the problem.
I can set up both to work fine with my Mac Pro and a new Mac Book Pro as long as I don't set up MobileMe syncing. As soon as I sync with MobileMe I start having problems, particularly with Calendar.
MobileMe seems to work fine computer to computer, until the iPhone/iPod get involved, then the MobileMe copy gets messed up. Version on computer seems to stay ok.
Not sure where to go from here... other than call Apple or go to the Apple Store. -
my ipod keeps asking me to restore and when i do restore it just restarts and asks me to connect to itunes and starts again.please help its my sons bday and this is his present
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
