Lyrics Double-Pasting in iTunes 6

Since installing iTunes 6, I find that when I manually paste lyrics they actually paste twice--the last line will be immediately followed by the whole thing all over again. Has anyone else been seeing this happen? The method doesn't matter--Command-V, Edit->Paste, right-clicking, they all produce the same double-pasted result.
Could it have anything to do with the PearLyric widget? For those who haven't run across this yet, it's an app/widget that will search the web for lyrics to a song then paste them right into your iTunes song file for you. So the only times I go looking for lyrics myself are when PearLyrics has already admitted it can't find them; presumably, then, it shouldn't be interfering, but you never know.
If others, who don't have PearLyrics installed, are also seeing this happen, then we can safely call it an iTunes bug and I'll go and report it on the Feedback site. If it seems to be a PearLyrics thing, then I should be able to report that to the guy who made it.
Thanks for any input.

It's a known bug. To be fixed soon.

Great tip Stephen!!
I was so frustated from this issue that I used to use Windows iTunes for mass editing info, adding Lyrics etc and then transfering songs to Mac. This tip has alleviated my pain!!
Thanks for the tip. This question should be tagged as answered.

Why are lyrics not viewable in itunes in the same way as on the ipod?

Why are lyrics not viewable in itunes in the same way as on the ipod? In itunes all you get is "Get Info" then "Lyrics" and that screen then locks itunes until you close it. Inflexible, annoying and surely unnecessary?

All songs need Album, Artist and title.
Also, look under Artist -> Compilations.

Can't paste into iTunes lyrics

Up until recently, I have been able to copy lyrics from other sources and then paste them into the lyrics tab of any mp3 file in iTunes. Yesterday, I noticed that that particular functionality is missing. I hit CMD-V in the lyrics tab and nothing happens. Is there a bug in iTunes? Or has iTunes removed this function.I can
Note: I can still add lyrics manually by typing them out. But this is a PITA and frankly doesn't work for me. I am an avid lyric collector. Please help.

Just updated to iTunes 12.0.1 and it's working normally again. It was probably just a bug in the .0 release.
Thank god, if Apple gets any one bit more strict with their anti-piracy paranoia I'll be forced to find a new player. But I don't think they would do this, I've bought albums in the iTunes Store and they come with no lyrics included. Adding them manually from the internet is the only solution.

I loaded a disc into iTunes and some of the tracks are double listed in iTunes.

Yeah, I loaded "Imagine" by John Lennon into iTunes on my iMac. Some of the tracks came up in iTunes double listed. I tried dragging one of the listings to trash and it said it'd remove the track (oh no!).
I have unticked the duplicate tracks atm, but is there a simple solution to remove the duplicates or should I simply reload the disc?
Haven't seen this before....

Delete and redownload by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I have double IDs for Itunes. How can I delete one without losing my music. Also, I want to synce my new desktop computer with my older i4s. All devices are registered to do so. However, last time I tried I almost lost all music and Itunes BARELY supp

I have double ID's for Itunes. How can I keep all my music and get rid of the ID that I do not want. It was an issue when I tried to transfer music .. I contacted Itunes and they BARELY helped me get the music back. They also would only allow me to chose one ID to replenish the music (wich was lost) to my new device. So, I chose the ID that showed more music. I am irritated that I still have 2 ID's and can't really figure out why they both have the same music. Oldest to newest purchases are shown on both id's. Also, I am afraid to sync now because they told me it was a one time deal. When docked my phone to my new computer all of the music is shown on my computer now. However not on my I phone.

I had the same problem. I solved by (I use Windows7, should be same for OSX):
1. copying the library from the older computer to the new computer, at the usual itunes media location.
2. on new computer's itunes preference (advance), uncheck the box "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library"
3. open up this folder of media copied over from old computer, just drag over to itunes library, cursor will turn into plus sign.
4. since you unchecked the box for "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library", you are in effect only growring the new computer's itunes library's database. Your media files are already under the folder on the new computer.
Now when you connect iphone to this new computer and tells you it wants to erase your iphone's library in order to sync with this one, go ahead, click yes. Why is this ok now? Because you've copied all your files over to the new computer. So when you sync again, your existing files are there on the new computer.
You should export play lists on the older computer to be imported on the new computer though.

Copied and pasted my itunes folder to a new internal drive- can I consolidate the library?

I ran out of space for my images so I copied and pasted the whole itunes folder over to a new internal hard drive. I then deleted the itunes folder on the original drive. I went to preferences in itunes and changed the location of the music folder.
Unfortunately, the music library is not connecting to that new location, it is only filling with things from icloud.
I looked up some instructions and now find out that the way to do it is to create a new folder and instead of manually copy and pasting, consolidating the files via itunes.
What can I do now that I have done it manually?
Thank you

This is the process I usually recommend.
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
If you've done the backup properly, delete any existing empty iTunes library that has already been made then copy in the entire iTunes folder from the external drive into your profile's music folder. Start iTunes. It should "just work" with no need to import anything.

I just bought an Ipad 2 but i cant get it to boot up past the itunes logo

I bought this device as i only have a work laptop but its being taken away next week. Its locked by the company i work for so cannot install any programs etc. Its been fine for web surfing as thats all i need.
I have turned on the Ipad but there is a pic off a usb cable and an itunes logo.. it wont go past that. I cant download itunes to my laptop it wont let me because the admin password is set by my work to stop employees from doing this type off thing.
What do i do... take it back to the shop and get a laptop.?

You have some options. You need access to a pc or mac to get it installed and activated.
1. Use a friends computer.
2. Have somebody at the apple store do it.
3. There is no three.
If you has a friend with a computer and a fast connection you are set. Even if they do not do spple stuff, you can download i tunes, create an account, fire up the pad, then delete everything from that friends computer.
In the long term, you really do need a place to call home for back ups etc. a lot of folks run their pads with no computer, and it works fine until you have an issue, or need a major update.
If you can only have 1 device, i think you should consider your intended usage, and think real hard about a laptop. ( or my favorite los cost computer, mac mini)

How do I get past the iTunes Store registration?

At this time I do not want to register for the iTune Store. However, when I connect my iPod Nano I can't get past the Store requirements for registration. I have already registered my iPod.
Pressing "Not now" and "Skip this step" are ignored.
I just want to manage my music via iTunes but I am being prevented from doing this.
I have never made any purchases from iTunes Store.
Grateful for any help.
John Slane

I think I may have "solved" the problem myself -- or at least have got a work-around.
Before plugging in the iPod, disconnect yourself from the internet. Then the management of the iPod menu, playlists and whatever can proceed via iTunes without stupid and unwarranted interference from the iTunes Store!
What really hacked me off was the requirement from iStore that I give them my credit card number before I was allowed to complete the "registration" process. That I wasn't prepared to do, and why should I have to?

Can't get past the iTunes install page to redeem a digital copy of a movie.

Trying to download digital copy of The Hunger Games. I click the iTunes button for the download. It doesn't ask for my redeem code, but tells me I must install iTunes. iTunes is already installed on this laptop. I tried reinstalling, but still end up on the iTunes installer page. How do I move past this page?

Lyrics Not Saving on iTunes files on AirDisk

I've got my music files on an external hard drive connected to my Airport Extreme via the USB AirDisk. I haven't been able to get iTunes to save any of the lyrics when I add the lyrics in the "Get Info --> Lyrics" area. Any clues why not or how to fix this?

Hmm I've just noticed this as well. Anything you enter in the Lyrics panel of a song's Info is gone as soon as you close the Info Pane or move to another song. Songs that had lyrics attached prior to me moving my library have retained them. No issue with Artwork or other tags that I can tell.
I have my iTunes library on a Time Capsule.

Sorry to say, you're going to have to go through your files and see where the duplicates are.
If you had duplicates on the memory stick, there will be duplicates in itunes.

Lyrics look fine on iTunes, but funny on iPod. Please help

So I've been taking the time to put lyrics to my songs in iTunes. It's fulfilling, but tedious all at the same time. Anyway, I'm having an issue with the way the lyrics appear on the iPod (its a 5G Video, by the way). Here's an example. In iTunes, the lyrics appear like this:
"Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand
Fools like me, who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
Do you kill on God's command?"
However, on the iPod itself, the lyrics appear continuously like so:
"Brother will kill brother Spilling blood across the land Killing for religion Something I don't understand Fools like me, who cross the sea And come to foreign lands Ask the sheep, for their beliefs Do you kill on God's command?"
I am somewhat OCD, and this issue is absolutely driving me crazy. I've searched Google and these forums (they're a bit difficult to navigate) and I've found nothing on this specific topic. Sorry if I've missed it. But if anyone has any answers, can you please send them my way.
Thanks for your time,
Chris

Phil, thanks for the input. I originally used a lyrics importer program to get the lyrics, so I'm not sure the exactly how it decided to format the imported lyrics. As you mentioned, I went to manually edit the lyrics of the songs. I went to the end of each verse, hit delete twice to get rid of one empty space and then pull the next verse up, and then hit return immediately afterwards to put the next verse back where it should normally go. After I synced the iPod, it came up normally as it should.
Thanks so much for the advice. This has been driving me nuts for a while now. It seems I have some work to do . Happy Holidays.
Take care,
Chris

Can't copy paste in iTunes

Hi all, since I updated iTunes to 10.4 and installed OS X Lion, I can no longer copy paste movie descriptions into the video tab/description field of the information window. This was working fine before the update but no matter if I use the cmd C/V or contextual menu on right click, I cannot copy and paste at all in iTunes. It work fine for any other program so is this an iTunes bug?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Neil

I'm running iTunes 10.4.1 under OS X v10.5.8 on a G5 iMac. I, too, somewhat recently lost the ability to paste information into the video description field -- information of any length. Whether this loss of functionality came with my current version of iTunes or an OS patch, I can't say for sure. I would guess, however, that it's the fault of iTunes, either 10.4.1, which I installed August 30, according to System Profiler, or iTunes 10.3.1, installed June 25. The timing of these upgrades roughly corresponds to the period where I first noticed the problem.
Here are the last four entries from my machine's Software Update.log:
2011-06-25 14:06:52 -0500: Installed "Security Update 2011-004" (1.0)
2011-07-02 21:01:49 -0500: Installed "Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10" (1.0)
2011-07-25 20:42:54 -0500: Installed "iTunes" (10.4)
2011-07-25 20:45:47 -0500: Installed "Safari" (5.0.6)
Strange that it doesn't list installation of iTunes 10.4.1 on August 30.
I hope this information helps pinpoint the cause and that Apple reads these posts and returns this functionality (the ability to paste information into the video description field) to iTunes....
