Multiple copies of music on iPad, and some songs play as a different song

Hi,
I've been having this weird problem that I have been looking into for many times and never have found a straight answer. 
I've been finding that I have multiple copies of the same song on my Music (built-in) app on the iPad 2.  I don't know why it's been doing this.  Yesterday, I finally got a chance to restore my iPad 2.  After the restore, the same problem consisted.  Not only has that been happening, but I also have been having another weird problem with the music app too.  I have a song that I want to play , but it ends up playing a different song.   For example,  choose the song "we are the champions" or some song, and then it plays a different song like "We will rock you" or some other song. (it's not these songs, I don't have them in my library.  They are just examples) but it keeps the name.  So when the iPad "says" it's playing "we are the champions" it is actually playing "we will rock you" or any other song.
Sorry if I haven't made this clear enough.  I tried the best I could.  I have never had this problem until I updated to iOS 5.  I am currently running iOS 5.0.1
Is there any way I can fix this problem I have been having?  I already tried the restore.  I don't know what else to do.

I'm not sure about the playing a different song when you choose a nother, but I Just figured out the multiple copies issue.I had been having the same problem and realize that some of the songs in that album were marked as "part of a compilation." SO i went to each individual song in that album and unchecked the box (when you go to th e"get info" screen) Hope that helps.

  • I've downloaded songs from my computer to my ipad and some of them still need downloading but it wont download

    I downloaded songs from my computer (that I got from my iPhone) to my iPad and some of them have a cloud symbol next to them and I tap it and it says Download Over Mobile? I haven't got Wi-fi or a sim card in it but that doesn't matter because I've already downloaded 1 album and it works. How come these songs won't play?!

    There is no playlist for iBooks, butther eis nothing to preent you from choosing to download specific titles from itunes, or syncing just specific titles to an individual device.

  • I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded and I cannot play any of the songs.  I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems.  How do I delete these albums and reload them?  I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

    I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded on my iPad Mini and I cannot play any of the songs.  I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems.  How do I delete these albums and reload them?  I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

    If the albums do appear in the Music app, hold down on the album icons and the X to delete will pop up on the icons. Tap the X to delete the albums.
    You don't see a anything in iCloud, you see your previous purchases in the purchased tab of the store that you bought the content in. So you find your music purchases in the purchased tab of the iTunes app on your iPad. Tap on Purchased and look for the albums in the Not on this iPad section - assuming that you are able to delete the albums from the device.

    Sorry, i did not say that i need to go out further than 1 week.  This is for a church Bell Tower Music System.  So we don't want to have to re program the music every week.  We are looking for more of a Calender App that will play iTunes Songs for alarms...different songs, on different days.  IDEAS ANYONE ???

  • Some of the albums in the Beatles package I downloaded from itunes will not sync with my iPhone 5. Some songs won't play. They did sync to my iPad and they all play on my iPad. What can I do? I've already deleted all songs from the iPhone and re-synced.

    I downloaded the entire Beatles collection from iTunes in 2011. Some songs skip and won't play. Some albums won't sync to the phone but they sync to my iPad. I've deleted the entire music library from my iPhone, shut the phone down, turned the phone on and synced again to add the music but now 2 albums won't even sync (Rubber Soul and Revolver). I've tried dragging the songs to the iPhone, no luck. Any thoughts?

    Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

  • I have just moved from MobileMe, where I had a 'Family account' (with unique email addresses for my wife and myself) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have iPads and iPhones? Mine sync OK...

    We have just moved from MobileMe, where we had a 'Family account' (and we each have our own @me.com email addresses) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have an iPad and an iPhone, but with different accounts set up for mail. Mine syncs OK to Cal and Contacts, but hers doesn't. There must be a way! Please help.

    According the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account."  You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.

  • How do I manging multiple copies of movies for AppleTV and iPod in iTunes?

    I do not have an AppleTV yet, but I am considering getting one. I was wondering how those who have both an iPod and ATV manage the syncing of Movies that may have different resolutions?
    If I want to have the same movie on ATV and my iPod I would need two copies in iTunes at different resolutions, correct? At least when I look at the iTunes export in iMovie it shows I can have a higher resolution for the ATV than the iPod.
    So, how do you manage the auto syncing of these multiple copies so that they aren't all copied to both devices? iTunes doesn't have good Movie management as far as sub-folders, etc. I would like iTunes to treat these copies as one movie and only sync the appropriate resolution for the device.
    I also notice that multiple copies then show up in FrontRow as well. It would be nice if only the highest resolution would show up.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Just create 2 different playlists like
    Movie-ATV
    Movie-iPod
    Put those video files with higher resolution on playlist Movie-ATV
    Put those video files with lower resolution on playlist Movie-iPod
    in iTunes Preferences choose your ATV only to sync the 1st movie playlist - and your iPod only to sync the 2nd one.

  • Multiple copies of email accounts, contacts and notes after syc.

    Can anyone suggest why after a routine sync between iTunes on my PC and my iPhone I now have multiple copies of my email accounts showing in iTunes and multiple copies of my contacts and notes on my phone?
    I have no iCloud account. I do not use iCloud. I have not changed any settings for the sync, which has been fine up until now.
    What I am left with is four copies of each email account on my iTunes and my iPhone, which I cannot seem to change. Outlook has only one copy of each email account. Outlook also only has one copy of each contact and one of each note but my iPhone now has four copies of each contact and four of each note.
    Any ideas what is going on and how I get back to normal please! Thanks.

    Tried deleting the orange account and adding it back in, no difference unfortunately.

    Click iTunes Store near the top of the iTunes window.
    Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
    In the page that appears, select a category. 
    iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download. If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re viewing by album, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.

  • Can I delete music from iPad and still keep it on iPhone?

    Both my iPhone and iPad 2 are using the same apple ID. And I do not use iTunes match. Back in the days of sync'ing via a wire with iTunes when I was setting up my iPad 2 it took all my music & videos from my iPhone which used up a lot of space, so now when I try to download podcasts on my iPad it tells me that I'm out of space.
    So I was wondering how can I delete all the music & videos from my iPad and obviously still keep it on my iPhone?

    Certainly you can. If you remove the music from one device, it doesn't have any effect on the other device.
    You need to learn how to set up sync preferences for your device. You can use this same process for syncing any content that is store in your iTunes library.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you do this, you can pick and choose exactly the unique content that you want to sync to each device.

  • HT1535 Moving music from iPad and iPod to iTunes on a new computer

    My boyfriend doesn't have a computer anymore so he set his iPad up through his iTunes account.  Can he log into iTunes from my computer to update it without losing his stuff.  It asks us if we want to reset his iPad and the same with his iPod touch, but he doesn't want to lose all his music.

  • I hav an iphone 2; previously i synced it with itunes and it was perfectly working bt now the syncing gets automatically stuck in between and it doesnt copies any music frm my pc; it shows tht ur such a song was nt added as d device timed out; wat to do

    i have an iphonbe 2; previously i synced it with my pc to add music and it wrked efficiently; bt nowadays wenever i connect my phone to my pc it starts syncing and it automatically gets stuck in between and m now unable to add any songs or videos to it and still 3 gb space os free in my fone; after sometime it automatically shows tht songs were nt added as the device timed out; wat to do

    I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
    - Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.          
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
