Multiple listings of artists are displayed on my iPod

Help! I just downloaded the newest version of software onto my iPod and now I'm having problems with artists being listed multiple times when I look under "Artists" on my iPod. When I go into iTunes, the artist is only listed with their songs, and the songs are not duplicated. I've had this problem before, but I was able to fix it by using "Sort Artist" under the "Get info" option. However, it has not helped this time. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

The most common cause is minor differences in casing or trailing spaces. It can also happen if different tracks by the same artist have different values for sort artist. Lastly, if you've used the sort artist field to group tracks with guest artists to the main album then you may get the effect I've mentioned in this post....

  • Same Artist Name Displayed Twice In iPod Menu.

    Lately if I put 1 or 2 songs in my itunes by the same artist but it's not bought off itunes the artist name will show up twice on my ipod. I have the latest itunes and everything is spelled correctly. PLEASE HELP!

    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. If you see the "artist" field is left blank, then there is a discrepancy with that name.
    So to correct this, in the artist or song box retype the name, as you would like it, and then click ok. You should do this even if no mistakes are immediately visible.
    Re sync this new artist/song info to your iPod.
    If the above is not the issue, try this also. Highlight all the songs for that artist, right click on them and select "apply sort field/same artist".
    See if that works.

  • Artists Not Displaying Properly on iPod

    I transferred around 3,000 songs to my iPod and for some reason I can't sort by "Artist" properly. When I try to sort by "Artist" on my iPod, the name of all the songs appear but not the artist/band. The names of the songs appear when I try to sort by Album as well. Interestingly enough, the artists do appear to list properly under "Genre" even though that field is empty when I view the file info for each song in iTunes.
    I guess I can get by with that, but you'd like to think everything would sort properly, especially considering I just bought the iPod.
    I've restored the iPod and re-installed iTunes and have had no luck... In addition, I check and none of my songs are checked as "Compilations."
    The posted solutions don't appear to be working either...

  • A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers.  I downloaded latest version.  Any ideas??

    A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers.  I downloaded latest version & no change.  Any ideas??

    ME TOO.
    I think mine are all still in alphabetical order, but :
    * movies I deleted from my library and told "hide this purchase in the cloud" are showing up again. If I try to play them, I get the "cannot find the file in its proper location, would you like to locate it" error message.
    * for movies that have "iTunes Extras," the extras show up as a separate item, with another copy of the movie artwork. Most of these I believe I had DELETED the "iTunes Extras" anyway.
    * Items are showing up multiple times.
    * A few MUSIC ALBUMS are listed in my Movies section.
    * Some movies (I believe ones that I deleted off my HD but are still in the cloud) are showing random album covers instead of their proper artwork.
    * Just rented a movie, and it didn't show up anywhere in my library. It downloaded properly and completely, was in a suitably labeled folder in my iTunes/Media/Movies section, but didn't show up in any section of the library (or via a library search). Had to manually find it and tell it to open the file using iTunes.
    Running the latest version, even checked for updates. No other changes made lately since the last round of apple software updates. This was wonky before the latest small update to iTunes - now it's even wonkier. And it is very, VERY effing annoying.

  • 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!

  • There are multiple users with the same display name

    Hi,
    We have a user and when she get an item assigned to her she sees the following alert:
    "There are multiple users with the same display name USERNAME and at least one of them does not have read permissions to some of the files"
    Now I looked in the database and when I run the following query with the username:
     SELECT     
         [ProviderDisplayName]  
        ,[DisplayName]  
        ,[HasDisplayName]  
        ,[Domain]  
        ,[AccountName]  
        ,[UniqueUserId]  
        ,[LastSync]  
      FROM [Tfs_Configuration].[dbo].[tbl_Identity] where displayname like '%USERNAME%'  
    Then I get 2 same usernames back, How can I get rid of one of them ? When I access TFS trough the portal I only find 1 occurence of this user.
    We use VS2013 and TFS2013 update 4
    Best regards

    Hi DSW,  
    Thanks for your post.
    In your query result, please check if these two users have the same Account Name. if they are two different Account Name in result, it indicate there’s two users have the same display name in your AD, please check that two users’ information in
    your AD. We suggest change one user’s display name in AD.

  • I have ripped all of my Cds into iTune, now I cannot find where some of the artists have been filled, not all the artists are listed, yet others are listed multiple times as they play with other groups. How do I list all one artist under his name? I know

    Sorry this will appear pretty basic stuff.  I have ripped all my Cds into iTunes, but in starting to make playlists it is apparent that some artists are listed multiple times as they appear with different bands, and others do not appear at all.  I have tried searching different categories, compilations etc, and Finder box does not bring them up.
    My questions are:-
    Do I need additional software to manipulate my tunes in iTunes?
    If so what is suggested?
    or if not:-
    How can I re arrange the tunes so that they appear only under one artist?
    How do I make my "lost" artists tunes appear?
    Thanks for any advice.

    I am not really following what the problem is here.  Artists are listed in the Artist field.  I guess you could stick individual artists in a band in a field such as comments, but then you would have to include searching the comments field in your search.  In which fields are these names located?
    How are you making these playlists? Are these smart playlists or are you just dragging tracks to a playlist?
    Are you doing this search with Finder's find or with iTunes' search?
    If I knew exactly what it was you were trying to do I could tell you if you need addditional software.  In reality though there isn't "additional software" for iTunes.  There's Applescript plugins but I don't see how the ones with which I am familiar would have anything to do with searching for artist names.
    How can I re arrange the tunes so that they appear only under one artist?

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

  • CDs with multiple artists are added to the library multiple times I want to be able to add the artwork to all.

    CDs with multiple artists are added to the library multiple times. Usually one has the artwork. I want to add the artwork to the others.  The instructions are inaccurate. I tried it several ways and it does not work.  How do I add the artwork shown on one of the albums to the other albums (same album, different artists)?

    Try Ethernet over Power adapters.. these are very popular for your kind of environment.. being able to make non-wireless link to another area where you can setup a wireless access point.
    Airport Express are not great for wireless power.. if you really have issues with wireless strength in a bad environment apple stuff is not the way to go.
    The comparison chart here.
    http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/router-charts/bar/58-2_4-ghz-dn?see=P_F
    This is their worst test location you can also see averages.. the latest airport extreme.. is there a long way down.. and that is a much better wireless device than Airport Express.
    The Ubiquiti power AP is small cheap and designed for precisely this duty.. useless in an apple wireless network.. you will need to run ethernet or EOP adapters back to the main router.. but if the normal omni directional antennas don't provide enough signal you can get directional ones.. I suspect you can cover your whole apartment with a pair of these and high gain directional antenna.

  • Same artist name displays multiple times on iPod

    I have about 24 cd's of Miles Davis on my iPod, but his name appears twice, with the total amount of cd's split between the two Miles Davis'.... any idea as to how I can combine them? I've tried renaming the artists' name but that did not work.

    Make sure there isn't any blank spaces in the artist name. This could cause the multiple listings.

  • Multiple of same artist in artist view

    i just got a ipod nano 4th generation and i noticed it will display the same artist twice on the artist menu. my old one [2nd gen] did this too. it's kind of annoying because all the songs by an artist are then split in to more than one group and i must choose which artist listing to get to the song i want rather than just having them all in one group. there are no spelling errors in ther listings. So what i'm wondering is what causes this and is there a way to fix it?
    thanks

    i went through my library and retyped all of the artists that repeated, and then restored the ipod and reloaded the songs. it helped some, but there are still repeats. my only guess would be the source of the files. i got a lot of my from my friends [from external hard drives etc] and the others i got off cd, the arists that repeat seem to be the ones with multiple sources but i dont know a fix for that.

  • After iOS 5 upgrade my "artists" are all screwed up on my iPhone but are fine on my iTunes. ANY SOLUTIONS?? HELP!!

    After iOS 5 upgrade my "artists" are all screwed up on my iPhone but are fine on my iTunes. ANY SOLUTIONS?? HELP!!

    I had a similar problem to you that I have since solved.
    At first only some albums/songs were missing artwork but they all showed up fine in itunes. I went into itunes and did the view where the album art is displayed next to the album in a list, middle option for viewing. I found that on several 1-2 songs did not have the artwork attached and so that was the cause of it not showing up on my iphone. However after I got all that solved I found that the artworks were all messed up. Much like you described many songs had the complete wrong artwork and some songs on the same album had different artworks or the same artwork showed up on multiple albums.
    I could only come up with resyncing my iphone to solve it. I only use one playlist for my iphone so that I can sort of do manual management and only have to deal with one playlist. So I unchecked the playlist and did a sync to clear off all the audio. Then I rechecked the playlist and did a sync to reload everything and after that was done everything appeared correctly.
    I didn't notice if this was affecting any of my purchased albums, I don't have that many so I didn't think about it but affected a lot of them. I hope this helps in some way and that you can get it working again.

  • Duplicate Resource Objects  are displayed while provisioning the resource

    Duplicate Resource Objects are displayed while provisioning the resource to organization after creating a new workflow through export and import process.
    A workfolw already exists in the environment and I am trying to replicate the work flow with a different name . So i import all the components related to provisioning workflow rename the names of the components and make the necessary changes and import it back. after this I am getting Duplicate Resource Objects being displayed while provisioning the resource to organization .plz help.its urgent

    I have tried this process thrice not able to solve this problem ......unchecking allow multiple ..i don t think matters as this is provisioning to org ...n what i am telling is the list from which u select the resources to be provisioned --that list shows duplicate resource object names at a time..Each time I import an xml the number of same resource object names being displayed in the list increases ...So If I have imported three workflows then (say Resorce Object AD) appears thrice in the list. I have not given the resource objects same name in all the workflows for this to happen
