Library of some song Messed up

My song order appears nicely in iTunes, no.1 is at the top of the album order and everything is fine. When I turn the iPod on, seems that the song order is all messed up. And for another artist, I can see duplicates of it. i.e. when u select your songs through the Artist part, you see <artist name> and another <artist name> and yet, everything is fine in itunes. Please advise.

You need to make sure all songs by the same artist have the same spelling of the artist name.
For artists with duplicate names, there is probably a space in the name that is not easy to see.
For example "Metallica" and "Metallica " will show up as two different artists.
Select all songs by the same artist, right click-Get Info and retype the artist name.

  • HT203167 I synced my ipod touch and for whatever reason I have now opened an itunes library with some songs missing. Theses songs still remain on my touch but the ipos will not sync them back on to my library!Any ideas?

    I synced my ipod touch  and the library opened up with some songs missing. These songs remain on my ipod, I thought that by syncing they would return to my itunes library. But they won't. Has anyone seen this before?

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases back to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music purchased from other sites or copied from your own CDs then are they not already on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPod.

  • I am getting a message with some songs in my itunes library that has a different user id and says my computer is not authorized to play this song. ***?

    Since transferring my iTunes library to a new computer, my library is just a mess.  There are lots of songs that are duplicated 2, 3 and 4 times although all but one of the songs will get a message saying iTunes cannot find the file.  Now I am getting a messages with some songs that shows a different user id for iTunes and wants the password.  I have spent lots of $$$ and time trying to resolve these issues but really want to know what the heck is going on here?

    Maybe you purchased some of the other songs using a different itunes account.
    Could this be?

  • Library songs messed up

    Hello,
    My Library is messed up. I looked at other post that other people had the same problem. I don't think it helped me. I have some songs missing. However I located Kellie Pickler's Red High Heels in Blake Shelton's album/Song "Some Beach" it shows his name and song but Kellie's song is playing. I have no idea where his song "Some Beach" is. I have about 4 songs so far like that. Does anybody have a clue on what to do? I rebooted itunes, didn't help. Checked to see if itunes needed an upgrade and nothing. It said I already have to latest verison.

    Thanks for your efforts in helping me out.
    It is not a smart playlist. Standard.
    Here are some screen shots to display the error.
    1. File location when browsing for it in the finder - only two songs from the album available.
    2. Songs in Music library - clicking upper left and searching upper right.
    3. Regular playlist including all album tracks - playing one of the songs from the album.
    4. File location (same as in 1.)- after choosing File -> Show in Finder

  • My wife purchased some songs from itunes for her iphone.  If I go to sync her ipphone with our itunes library will her purchases be wiped out.  They do not show up in our library on my computer.

    My wife purchased some songs for her new iphone from itunes on the phone.  They do not show up in our library on my home computer.  When I go to add new songs to her iphone from my computer are her purchases going to be wiped out.

    Is the computer authorized for her iTunes account? If not, sign her in in iTunes and then go up to: Store>Authorize this computer. You say "our library", does that mean she does not have her own computer login? Has she ever synced to this computer/iTunes before? Once she is logged in & the computer authorized for her account, you can transfer purchases on her phone without syncing. With her phone connected, iTunes running: File>Transfer Purchases.

  • I tried taking some songs off my phone, I deleted them from the library on my computer but they're still showing up on my phone?

    I tried to take some songs off my phone that I no longer wanted. I unchecked them just in case I wanted them back on later, but they would not remove. So I just deleted them from my library on my computer, but for some reason they are still showing up on my phone with no option to delete. When I plug my phone into my computer they're not showing up in the library anywhere. How do I get these songs to come off my phone?

    Try going to Settings>Music on your phone, turn off iTunes Match, then turn it back on to let it re-load your Match library.  Also confirm that Show All Music is turned on.

  • Transfering some songs from my iTunes library to my laptop library

    I have iTunes installed on both my desktop and my laptop. I am moving shortly and will be using my laptop only. I would like to have all my music on my laptop and iPod mini before I go. The problem is when I upload my CD's onto my laptop I can't get the artist/song/album information because I do not have internet access (and won't until I move -- the whole point is to leave my CD's behind).
    I know I can use my iPod as a hard drive to transfer my entire library to a new computer -- but how can I use it to transfer some songs from one iTunes library to another?
    Thanks for your time!

    basically, similar techniques apply when moving just a few songs. although the following document is about Music Store purchases, it's applicable to CD-ripped files too:
    Copying music between authorized computers with iTunes for Windows
    just in case, here's another couple of resources that might come in handy:

  • How do I put some songs on my iPhone from a different iTunes library?

    I want to be able to put some songs from my computer at home onto my iphone, however my iphone is usually synced with my laptop that I use for school, is it possible to sync some songs without erasing everything?

    Bull.
    By design, an iPhone will sync or manually manage iTunes content with ONE computer/iTunes library at a time. Been this way since the first iPhone was introduced. Any attempt to sync or manually manage iTunes content with a second computer/iTunes library will result in ALL iTunes content being first erased from your phone, to be replaced with the content from the second computer/iTunes library.

  • Is there a way to see on my iPhone my entire library (more than 2.000 CDs) without having all the files stored? I've noticed that, for mistake, I had some songs of my library in grey (the mp3 was not working)

  • Itunes will not add to library some song I bought.

    Itunes will not add to library some song I bought.  The PC is a new computer.  How do I fix this?

    Diesel vdub asked a question which you have answered yourself, although you don't appear to realise it.
    He/she (sorry diesel, I don't know) asked: "Is the song actually on the computer?" and you stated that: "I transfered all songs onto the new computer" and "I looked in the folder but the songs just cant be found" so the copy hasn't worked.
    You also mention manually copying, as opposed to a previous (presumably different) method.
    How are you trying to copy these songs? Do the copy first and make sure that works. If your first method doesn't work, try a diifferent one - such as the manual copy you referred to (copying onto a memory stick, card, disc etc. etc.)
    Until you sort out why your method of copying hasn't worked, everything else you "try" is a waste of time.

  • Just got iphone 5-only syncs a few songs from itunes library. some songs on ipad. would like them all on new iphone

    Please help!  I have a new iPhone. Have some songs from iTunes library on iPad and only a few transferred to new phone when synced. Tried deleting songs from iPad and they went to iCloud.  So now I have songs in iCloud on iPad and some songs on iPhone. Help! I want ALL iTunes library on new phone.

    I hope I'm not too confusing--to clarify: I have iTunes library on the computer. When I got the iPad, most of them transferred to that. I read somewhere on here how to delete those songs and they are now 500+ songs in iCloud...I think. Tried putting the iTunes library onto new iPhone 5s a few days ago and only 149 out of 1100 songs transferred. HOw can I get my whole library from the computer to my new phone?  I don't need them on my iPad.

  • HT1386 I am re-building my iTunes library, but still have all the content on my iPod Classic.  I have just downloaded some songs from the store and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when i attempt this the message asks if I want to delete all content on t

    I am rebuilding my iTunes library, but still have all the old content on my iPod Classic.  I have just download some songs from the iStore and want to add them to the iPod, BUT when I try to sync it asks if I want to delete all content from the iPod and add only the material that I have just downloaded from the Store.  I do not want to lose my old content, because it is very extensive.

    You are trying to sync to other than the one iTunes library you can sync to. You can copy music from multiple library/computer if you use the manual method of syncing. That method is described here
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    If you want to make this computer/iTunes library your syncing computer/library you have to restore the iPod on this computer/library. Restoring erases the iPod.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    To copy other music to the computer see:

    You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also  done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
    You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
    In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
    Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other  USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
    Have a nice day!
