Multiple entries of same artist and song on my ipod

hi. I'm new to ipod an can't say i'm enjoying this very "controlled" experiance.
Can someone please tell me why I have multiple entries on my pod? The same artists somtimes with the same songs othertimes not. It's a **** mess. It's also downloaded the artwork in 3's as well and split up my albums. All the id tags are right too. 4 days an ipod owner and already I'm regretting it. Mind you I was warned all my pals told me to stay well away.
thanks for all help.

Most likely issue is that they really are different. Sometimes there is an extra space or different Capitalization. You can't see extra spaces if they are at the end but iTunes does.

  • Multiple Entries of Same Artist in IPOD

    I am getting multiple entries of the same artist on my IPOD even though I checked the spelling and spacing very carefully and they're all identical. Example: I have 3 Bruce Springsteen lines with his songs/albums scattered across the 3 entries versus having everything in one place. How do I rectify?

    How to avoid multiple listing for same artist?

    Sounds like there might be blanks in the artist name.
    For instance "Lou Reed" and "Lou Reed_" will not match.
    (Pretend the underscore _ is a blank).
    Select all the Lou Reed songs, Get Info, and type "Lou Reed" in the artist field. That should fix it.

  • How to stop this multiple entry against same condition type in pricing

    My client is using manual condition type for the basic price "ZBPR". Now system allowing multiple entry against this condition type in the pricing screen during order creation i.e in the first line if we put ZBPR 00 , in the second line system allowing to put another value against same ZBPR say for example 2000 & doing all subsequent calculations on the basis of 3000 .which is not at all acceptable by my client .Please suggest how to stop this multiple entry against same condition type

    You have to make the condition type as Mandatory and not manual.
    If you are entering many condition records of the ZPR0 then the latest entry will be taken for further processing for subtotal rebate and total price.
    For all the other entered condition records will have yellow traffic signal which is not active.
    you can assign a routine with the help pf your abaper...
    In the Transaction VOFM  define a requirement such that
    you condition type takes value only one at the time of order entry.

  • Vicious MPD widget not displaying the artist and song title

    EDIT: This thread can be closed now. It turns out Clementine doesn't support mpd and I'm now running ncmpcpp and the widget shows the artist and song title.
    I have trouble getting the mpd widget running in awesome wm, it will only display "N/A - N/A". I've read the wiki and done a lot of googling but I can't figure out what I'm missing.

    Hi,
    If the songs were purchased from itunes, I suggest that you delete the tracks from your itunes library and move to trash (providing you live in a country that permits redownloading). See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283.

    Addionally without doing it one song at a time does iTunes seperate song artist from title automatically some how or do I have to go song by song cut artist and paste in the correct colum?

  • Multiple listings of same artist

    After syncing my Ipod, I find that I have the same artist listed multiple times. For example, when I scroll by artist I'll have 2 that say "Snow Patrol." I have checked that they are both spelled the same, with no differences. Sometimes it will even split up an album with half of the tracks going to the first listing of the artist and half to the second listing.
    I have gone through the 5 R's several times with no change.
    Anyone have any ideas on how I can merge the multiple listings of each artist into one?

    I had the very same problem and found this posting looking for an answer to that. I had checked as well to see that the name of the artist was the same on every song and even erased and rewrote them and the problem was still there. i did what First magun seggested in his posting though and copied the artist's name from one song and just pasted it on the others and the problem was fixed. I don't know why because the names were written the same and everything but for som strange reason that did fix the problem so, thanks!

  • Same artist and albums being duplicated

    On my ipod the same artist is being copied and listed more than once even though they are spelled exactly the same. Within the duplicates the albums are also being copied, the songs however are not, they are being divided up leading to a very cluttered and confusing arrangment on my ipod. Can someone please tell me whats goin on?!

    A spelling or punctuation mistake, or sometimes a trailing space usually causes this after the artists and/or song name, which fools the iPod into thinking that there are two different artists or songs. The trailing space is the hardest to spot. Best way to cure this is to go into iTunes, highlight that artist and/or songs, right click on them and select "get info". This brings up the multiple song info window. In the artist or song box retype the name, as you would like it, and then click ok. Re sync this new artist/song info to your iPod.

  • Multiple entries for same title in ADE title list

    I have 6 entries for the same title in the ADE title list.  All have the same date and time added.  All but one are blank in the "Last Read" column.  On my computer I have only 1 epub file for this title.  Why do I have multiple entries for the same title?  If I delete all entries except for the one that has a date and time in the Last Read column will that be okay -- will I still be able to access the book?

  • Contextual menu in finder "open with" has multiple entries of same apps

    When I use the contextual menu (right click) on documents, the menu point "open with..." shows multiple entries of the same programs. For example when right clicking a PDF, there appears 5 times neoOffice, 2 times Preview, 6 times ... any other application that you could use to open the document. This occurs on all user accounts, only that the multiplicity of listings of the apps is different. So it can't be a preferences problem on my account. What else could be the cause?
    This is quite annoying because the apps-list becomes very long and unusable.
    Note: I have 2 internal start up disks with OS and apps installed, but only one mounted. That means, there cannot be a duplicate (triplicate...etc) copy of any app accessible at any time.
    Thanks.

    if I quit all running applications, it will be pretty hard to put anything in the Trash!
    Are you being literal? Like quitting the Finder too? Or what bespeaks you?
    Actually, I use Xupport to do that, but I think Onyx and several other Utilities include that option.

  • N81 Call Log - Multiple entry for same number

    Hi,
    Earlier I was using Nokia 7250, in it the call log for missed/dialled/received calls have the facility for storing multiple entries for the same number.
    i.e., say I received calls from no. XX @ 1 Am, 2 AM & 3 Am. Then the received call log for the no. XX will have an entry with these three time stamps
    Where as in N81 only the most recent entry i.e., 3AM is been shown and I couldn't find a way to find out the earlier calls (1 AM & 2 AM)
    Is there a way to find it out?
    Thanks.

  • How do i get my iTunes library to be showing the same playlist and songs that are on my iPhone 4s.

    How do I get my iTunes library to show the same playlist order and songs order as what is on my iPhone 4s.

    Drag it to an external drive or directly to the other computer, and if needed, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and choose that library. If it contains rented movies, those won't play on the desktop Mac.

  • How can I play multiple albums from same artist in album order on iPhone 4?

    Just purchased an iPhone 4 from Verizon. When I select an Artist and then choose "All Songs", the only choice I am provided is to play the songs in alphabetic order. I would prefer to play them in the original album order. Is there a setting that can be changed to accomplish this?

    For those who arrive here later than this answer, the app is now called "Continue" & is available free with addware or paid without.

  • Multiple entries for same apps showing next to 'Open With' in contextual menu since last backup

    I did a back up of my MBPs internal drive recently, using Carbon Copy Cloner - since then there are multiples of the same icons for all apps under 'Open With' in the contextual menu. I seem to remember there being a command line that could be entered in Terminal to fix this, but I can't find it anywhere.
    Can anyone help?

    Yes, LaunchServices. These are only cache files but can get corrupted. Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices: (be sure to copy the entire line it's a scroll)
    Code:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

  • Multiple iPhones on same AppleID and iTunes

    Can I have 2 different iPhones with 2 different phonenumbers connected to the same AppleID and iTunes? If yes, should I be aware of something. If no, how do I do?

    Yes you can do that. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep track of everything, by device, including separate backups. I'd suggest giving each device a unique name, to keep everything straight.
