Mutiple entries for same album on IPOD menu

I have many albums that are listed multiple times on my IPOD menu with the songs from those albums being split randomly between the two entries. How can I get all songs from any given album to show up together under one album entry? Is there a limit on the number of songs that can appear under one album title and that is why it's being split under two entries?

There's probably a different character you don't notice -- like an extra space at the end or something like that.
In iTunes, select all the songs and right-click and select "Get Info". Does the "Album" box fill in? If not, that means the Album names are different. Fill in the correct name, then click OK.
If the Album box is already filled, then something else is going on and I don't know what.

What instructions?

You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.

Duplicate entries for same primary key

Hi,
I am facing problem to insert 2 or more than 2 entries for same PRIMARY KEY in the database table.
As I know that we cant do that. But Client has given me the XL sheet which contains 2 entries for same primary key. How can it be done? Please let me know how can I insert 2 data for same primary key in database table.
Waiting for your answers.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Prasanna

Hi,
You can achieve this .... All you have to do is to add a new field (a Sequence Number ) to the table. This number will be incremented for each duplicate primary keys. For example....
Consider the excel file has duplicate entries 3 primary keys. Now you add a new field named Sequence Number in your DB Table.....
When you load the data into Database...then the records will look like this...
Key1     Key2    Key3    Seq
A          B          C           1
A          B          C           2
A          B          D           1
A          B          D           2
A          C          D           1
A          C          E           1
and so on...
I hope this solves your purpose.....
Whenever there are duplicate entries, such as the one mentioned in your scenario, then a new field can be added in Database. This field acts like a count or sequence number.... Thus you can maintain unique records.

Charged twice for same album

So I just received my iTunes invoice receipt. It appears that I have been charged twice for the same album. I only have one copy in my playlist. Any help with the correct department/telephone number would be greatly appreciated; I would like to get this straightened out.
Thank you

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?

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.

Multiple entries for one album and tracks are diveded between entries

After adding all my music into iTunes I have some albums listed multiple times with one or two tracks listed in each one. How can I get all the tracks for that album listed all together? Also is there any way to import album art from another program. Windows media player has all the album art and iTunes is missing about 40 percent of them?

Well, I tried everything in that article and when all my albums are in cover flow view multiple albums covers show for that one album. When I type in the album name, it narrows down to 1 CD.
As far as not being able to retrieve album artwork, I just do a google image search. After I have saved the pictures I go to the info for any song in that album and add it to artwork.

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 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?

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.

How can I copy (not repeat) a calendar entry for same but sporadic events?

II'm trying to create multiple calendar entries (ie Girl Scout meetings) which occur sporadically, not daily, weekly, monthly and would like to have a copy feature. Anyone know how this can be done? If not it would be a nice upgrade....

Sorry, for Calendar rather, not iCal...

Syncing ical creates multiple entries for same event

I'm sure this is common. I cal sync creates multiple enties for the same event. Any way to work around this?
Also, duplicate calendars are on the Iphone (2 for inbox) can one be deleted?

I think I know what can help. I also support Mac users in a mixed environment, and find that being able to access a Windows machine to test settings for my iCal users is very very helpful. If you do not have one, I could also fix this one by adding the user's account to my one Mac that runs Entourage.
On a PC: set up one of the problem accounts in Outlook, then go to Tools->Options & click on the Delegates tab. Click on a Delegate name (if they all have the same permission level, you can select all), then click the Permissions button. If the delegate have "Editor" permissions, there will be a little checked box that sends the delegate copies of all those meetings. De-select it.
Lemme know if you want Entourage instructions or if that does it for you.
The real question, of course, is why are there so many Exchange functions that iCal can't touch. Grrrr....

Multiple Entrys for the same Album

Hello
I ripped an Album (Till Broenner, "Oceana") to my Computer. Everthing is working fine, but iTunes shows it as 5 (!!!) separate Albums.
I tried to change the Album information in order to bring it all together again, but it was no use.
iTunes even recognises that it is all from the same Album, including the correct Track number, but shows them nonetheless as 5 different Albums with exactly the same Informations and the same Cover.
This is annoying and I have this problem with a couple of other Albums as well.
What can I do to stop it???
Thanks a million for any clue

This should fix it...
Select all the tracks in iTunes (click on the first and then hold down shift and click on the last).
Select File, Get Info
Make sure there are entries for Artist, Album Artist, and Album (if not, type them in)
Finally, click on Options (near the top of the Get Info window), check "Part of a compilation", and set that option to Yes.
(I know it's not a compilation in this case, but some of the tracks are 'featuring' another artist, so I think that's what the problem is)

Songs for the same album are in different entries on my iPod

First of all, this problem isn't caused by album name misspelling(or unknown spacing in album names).
In iTunes, all the songs on the album "Black Holes and Revelations" are displayed together in one entry.
However, in my iPod, the songs get separated to different entries. Some entries have 2 or 3 songs in them, some have 1.
The entries for the songs have two different names. Some are listed as "Black Holes And Revelations" (a of and is capitalized), some are listed as "Black Holes and Revelations". However in iTunes, they are all listed as "Black Holes and Revelations" (no capitalization on the "and"). Syncing does not fix the problem, the songs of this album are omitted through the process (iTunes/iPod thinks that the album names are identical during the sync even though some of the "and"s are different.).
There are a total of 8 entries for the same album. All of the album artworks of the songs are accurate.
The iPod in question is a 160 GB iPod Classic

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

The Same Album is Split Into Two On My iPod

Okay this may be hard to explain but here it goes...
I bought a CD, and imported it onto my iTunes library. No big deal. It imported fine. Then I tried importing it onto my 4th Generation iPod Touch (32GB). The album has 10 tracks, and it was split into two on my iPod. One album has all tracks 1-10, while the other has tracks 2-10. But when I search up the song on my iPod (on the songs list), it only comes up as one. I tried deleted the album that has tracks 2-10, but when I do, the tracks 2-10 on the other album get deleted, so I'm only left with Track 1.
This is starting to get really confusing for me and I don't know what to do. In my iTunes library it comes up as one album, on iTunes when I look at my songs list it comes up as one album, and even on my actual iPod on the songs list, there's only 1 version of each song, but on the albums list, there's 2 versions of the same album.
Please help! Thanks so much !!

In iTunes on your computer right click on the songs and select Get Info and look at the sorting. From iTunes Help
Tips for using song and CD info to organize your music
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking Details and selecting the checkbox next to “Album is a compilation of songs by various artists”.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Details and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.

How do I copy artwork to iPod just once for an album, not for every track?

I don't download music. All my music is ripped from CDs that I own.
After I rip a CD, choosing "Get Album Artwork" from the Advanced menu normally works, and if not, I find the highest quality image I can from the web, and copy & paste that into the large box at the bottom left of iTunes.
It appears that iTunes stores the artwork image once for each track, not once for an album, so for example if an album has 10 tracks, the image is stored 10 times somewhere on my hard drive. This is inefficient, but not problematic.
However, when I (manually) select & drag-copy the resulting 10 tracks to my iPod, the artwork doesn't transfer along with the tracks. I then have to copy the artwork & having selected all the tracks on the iPod, paste it in. I have the "Manually manage music and videos" option selected, as I simply don't trust the automatic system. I want to supervise what is copied, when, and in what way. I don't necessarily want everything in my iTunes library on my iPod.
What concerns me is that for each album, the artwork image is stored repeatedly for each track on the iPod, like on my hard drive, not once for an album. As space will be at a premium on the iPod once I start copying more & more of my CDs across (I have only done 9 so far) the point will come where a large number of MB of space will be wasted on the iPod with duplicate artwork, which will mean that I'll be able to fit far fewer CDs on the iPod than would otherwise have been the case. The fact that I have chosen 192 kbps and the AAC Encoder for all my CD ripping also means that the iPod will fill up faster than if I'd used the standard 128 kbps and MP3 settings. I'm not prepared to go below 192 kbps though. My soon to be purchased Sennheiser CX500 earphones deserve that much!
Is there any way to force iTunes and the iPod to store the artwork only once for each album, and if there is, can this method be retrofitted to the CDs I've already copied to my iPod, or do I have to start again from scratch? I've already filled 670 MB with the 9 CDs, many of which are only 40 or 45 minutes long, so I'm already getting worried!
Alternatively, am I simply mistaken about all this? Does it only *look like* the artwork is duplicated, whereas it's actually only being stored only once?
Many thanks.

In reply to PT:
Why don't you paste the artwork to the track in iTunes first (fast) THEN send them over to your iPod?
I already do that. Every track has the correct artwork in place before I copy it to the iPod.
I ripped about another 10 albums yesterday. Most of the albums got their artwork automatically from the iTunes store. For a few I had to get artwork from the internet.
When I rip a CD, one of 3 different things happens:
1. The album get its artwork automatically from the iTunes store, and then when I shift-click all the tracks and drag them to the iPod icon, all the artwork transfers along with the tracks.
2. As per 1, except the artwork doesn't transfer when I copy the tracks to the iPod. I then copy the artwork from one of the tracks on the Mac, then shift-click all the equivalent tracks on the iPod, and right-click in the large box at the bottom left of the screen, and click on paste.
3. The iTunes store has no artwork for the album, so I copy the artwork from an image on the internet, shift-click all the tracks on the Mac, and right-click in the large box at the bottom left of the screen, and click on paste. I then shift-click all the tracks and drag them to the iPod icon. They all copy across, but the artwork never does, so I then shift-click all the tracks on the iPod and right-click in the large box at the bottom left of the screen, and click on paste.
Pasting the artwork to the tracks, in either scenario 2 or 3 above, takes ages (often longer than copying the tracks themselves) and a progress bar appears, listing each track in order as the artwork is added to the track, accompanied by the spinning beach ball. The slowness is mostly down to using USB 1.1, but for a 20 track album, it appears that the iPod is storing the artwork 20 times, once for each track, not just once in total (for the album).
It appears that in scenario 1 though, the iPod is only storing the artwork once.
In reply to Landon Dial:
well first you go to one track, right click and press get info. you go to where it says artwork, right click the image and press copy, then you exiit out of that. then you can press ctrl and select each song you want to have that artwork. if there highlighted then its working. then right click again and press get info. then go to artwork and press paste and it should have copied the image to all of your tracks
Thanks for your input, but you've completely misunderstood my question. I know how to add artwork to tracks. What I'm trying to figure out is how to force iTunes/the iPod to only store artwork once for each album, not once for each track, even if the artwork comes manually from me finding it on the internet, not automatically via the iTunes store.
In reply to Chris CA:
When iTunes gets the artwork, there is only one copy on your computer.
That single artwork is linked with iTunes to each song on the same album.
When you add artwork yourself, it is copied directly into the ID3 artwork tag for each song. If you have a 200kB artwork file, each song will be 200kB larger.
From what you say it sounds like there's no way to force the issue then. If you have to paste in artwork yourself, then it's one copy per track, not one per album. A serious flaw which I hope Apple will address!
Using playlists is very easy to manage what goes onto your iPod.
That's true, but I don't really have any need for playlists. I want 95% of what's in my iTunes library copied across (complete albums, with artwork). It's the remaining 5% (the odd individual track, amusing audio files, and other odds & sods) that I don't want copied. Copying things manually suits me fine, and I wouldn't consider another method unless it solved the problem that this topic is about!
