My ipod is doubling the bands!!

On my ipod nano ,i downloaded the music and some of the bands are doubled or tripled and i cant find out why its not because of spelling ,so i have no idea=[ Help?

This sometimes happens when there are extra spaces in the artist name -- usually at the end where the spaces are hard to see.
If extra spaces are causing the problem, the easiest way to solve it is to select all of the songs by the artist and choose "Get Info". A dialog box will come up that will let you change the mp3 tags for all of the songs at the same time. Re-type the artist name and all of the songs will have the exact same spelling including spaces.

Why can't I sleep my Ipod by double clicking the home button?

My sleep/wake button doesn;t work anymore, and I want to be able to sleep my Ipod by double clicking the home button. That would be much more useful than the 3 stupid choices I have now: "Home, Search, and iPod."
The home button already takes you home. So choice 1 is stupid. To search all you have to do is press home and swipe to the right; so choice 2 is also stupid. Choice 3 is ******** because I can just click "music."
Why can't double clicking home do something useful? Like making up for a poorly designed, chinese-made button that only lasts until just after your warrenty expires?

"Why can't double clicking home do something useful?"
"Useful" s subjective. The options are helpful to many.
" Like making up for a poorly designed, chinese-made button that only lasts until just after your warrenty expires?"
My button has lasted for three years. I know no one personally who has a broken powerbutton.
Perhaps it is simply that your ipod has an issue. Maybe you are blowing this out of all proportion.

HT201317 I have double the amount of photos on my ipod touch, how do I clean it up?

I have double the amount of photos on my ipod touch how do I clean it up?

When you take a photo with photo stream enabled, it is both saved in your camera roll and uploaded to your photo stream. Since photo stream is turned on, when it is uploaded a copy is streamed back to your device to the photo stream album, resulting in two copies of the photo on your device.
If you want the photos to remain in your photo stream, you can import the camera roll copies to your computer and delete them from your camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Then the only copy will be in your camera roll. The other option is to delete them from your photo stream and only keep the copy in your camera roll on your device. However, when you do this, the photos are deleted from the photo stream album of all devices and computer connected to your photo stream as well, which defeats the purpose of enabling photo stream. If you still want to do this, open the photo stream album on your device, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to delete, tap Delete, then tap Delete Selected Photos.

ITunes version 6.0 now "the" band listed under letter "t"

After I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, all bands that have a "The" in their name, are listed under the letter "t" and not under their actual name. This wasn't the case with the previous iTunes versions. I have tons of music on my iPod and it is really annoying to have to look for a "The"-band under "t". Anyone knows how to change that?

hi Thomas!
b that's
unusual ...
the only way i know of to force, say, "The Pixies" to alphabetise under "T" in itunes is to replace the standard space between the "e" and the "P" with an alt-0160 "space" ...
... so let us experiment. right-click the trackname of one of the affected songs, select "get info" go to the "info" tab.
delete the space between the "The" and "[first word after that]". replace it with a standard space produced by your space bar. okay out of that screen. is that track back in it's rightful place in the library?
love, b

IPod stops in the middle of songs

This is a new problem, just started after updating to the new Itunes firmware. I have tried resetting and wiping my entire ipod, upgrading to the newest firmware, etc but my ipod randomly stops during a song. Sometimes its a few minutes, sometimes its a few seconds. I am at wit's end with it and it is extremely frustrating. Does anyone have any ideas?

I had a similar problem with 1 song and my ipod nano. basically the song played fine in itunes and fine on my touch but the nano would stop the song about halfway through. After doing some tests here is what I did that seemed to resolve the problem.
1. Right Click on the problem song in itunes and select show in explorer or finder. This will open the file location
2. Duplicate the file and add the duplicate file to itunes
3. After you have added the file to itunes alter the name of the song so that you know that it is the duplicate. Right click on the duplicate file in itunes and select get info make sure the "Where:" is showing the duplicate file name.
4. Sync your ipod make sure you've set it up so that the duplicate file is put on the ipod.
5. Check the song make sure it plays through
6. Here's the downside you have to go to each playlist that you have the problem song in and put the duplicate song in there next to it.
7. Go to the music library find the original problem song and DELETE IT FROM YOUR LIBRARY NOT YOUR HARD DRIVE SO WHEN ASKED TO DELETE THE ACTUAL FILE SAY NO
8. Go back to the explorer or finder window with the files in it and delete the duplicate.
9. Go back to itunes and double click on the duplicate file you added earlier which will give you a prompt that it cannot find the file find the original file and select it.
10. Restore your tag information and your done.

IPod Classic and the new software upgrade

I've had my 80GB iPod Classic since December. I loaded it up with all my music and hadn't plugged it back into my computer until a couple days ago. I got a notice to update my iPod software so I did and it came back that it couldn't because there was an unknown error. Not only that but after I ejected it from there I wasn't able to restore it automatically) all my music was gone. A couple days have past since then and I've not gotten around to restoring it, which it suggested. It told me it would be reappear in the iTunes window when it was done. Since then it hasn't shown up and I've been prompted twice to restore. Has anyone else had this problem?? Can someone help me out?? It's now nothing but a blackish-grey screen with the apple icon. It's not even registering on my computer......

I've tried all afternoon to get it fixed and I think I finally found the answer. To all of those 80GB iPod owners having problems with the reset please try this, it worked for me!
iPod Classic keeps Continuously resetting at Apple Logo
Posted: Mar 6, 2008 1:45 PM Reply Email
Okay, I have sent in my iPod Classic, and let me just say its AWESOME! Okay first I found that other people were having a problem with the NEWEST iPod Continuously resetting at Apple Logo. There is a 10 step process in getting the help you need, follow these instructions:
*I got these from Jimmy_Dean, thanks bud...*
10 Simple Steps To Fix Your iPod That Is Stuck In A Continuous Reset Loop:
1) While the iPod was resetting itself over and over (continuously resetting itself), press the Play/Pause button and the center select button simultaneously, for about 5 seconds, and it will display that it is now in disk mode.
2) Start up iTunes on your computer and then connect the iPod to your computer with the USB cable.
3) Click on the iPod in the left pane, select "Restore" to restore it to its original blank state. Follow the prompts to continue.
4) When the computer completes the Restore update, and it displays a message saying that the iPod will disappear and reappear in iTunes in a minute, immediately disconnect the iPod (unplug it from your USB cable).
5) On the iPod, you should see the main menu, in a few seconds. Pick a couple of settings to update for example the English language, and Eastern Time Zone (New York or Washington, DC), etc.
6) Press and hold the Play/Pause button to power the iPod off.
7) Re-connect the iPod to your comptuer with the USB cable.
8) Start syncing using iTunes, as normal.
9) All should be well.
10) Remember to always click on Eject in iTunes, and waiting for visual confirmation, before disconnecting the iPod.
If these do not work, please go to:

This site brings you to a step by step process in getting your iPod fixed. Its very hands on, and the day I requested a repair or a replacement, they sent me a box. I got it in less that 1 day! Mind you that was the 4th of March when I requested the box. I got it the 5th of March, and I sent it in that same day with NO CHARGE! Apple pays for it if you have the warranty, if your iPod is in the first 180 days of purchase (they can tell), everything is free unless its obvious that you dropped it or something like that. Anyways, I got an email toay (March 6th), that says that they have recieved the product and are diagnosing it. Thats really fast, mind you! Well, I am now waiting for that, and then they will let me know if they can fix it or have to replace it. In that case, I will NOT BE CHARGE A PENNY for the services, they told me the process is really fast and I will get my iPod back in a few weeks at most.
So a total of 2 weeks for everything at most FOR FREE, thats a deal!
I live in a city that DOESNT have an Apple store in it (Colorado Springs, Colorado) and I am on tour ALL the time with bands, and I am just lucky everything is coming together fast and smooth!
If your city has an Apple store, you can check here:
http://www.apple.com/retail/
You can bring it to them and they will tell you if they have to replace it or fix it, if you can get a NEW iPod for free TAKE IT there and then. You will save time and effort!
Let me know how this helped on this blog!!!
Thanks everyone,

Hi filmman,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
Download this update: Mac OS X Update 10.4.4 Combo. Burn it to CD. When you are back home at your computer, Repair permissions(!), then copy the installer package to your local harddisk. Eject the CD and launch the installer package from your harddisk with a double-click.
Remember to do some Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance

My 4-year old AirPort Extreme intermittently drops out (no signal to my iMac Book). The laptop shows reception of other nearby Wi-Fi transmitters, but not mine. I have changed the bands, but the problem comes back. Transmitter problem or interference?

My 4-year old AirPort Extreme intermittently drops out (no signal to my iMac Book). My hard-wired iMac still has internet capability. The laptop shows reception of other nearby Wi-Fi transmitters, but not mine. I have changed the bands back and forth, but the problem comes back. How can I check if it is a transmitter problem or interference?

Let me see if I can suggest a strategy.
I have talked with my ISP and he said that I am not the only one with an Airport Extreme with the same issue. He said to try to write the DNS direclty, rather than using the Auto settings - still nothing works.
What modem do you have and what sort of broadband?
What mode is the AE in.. router or bridge?
I have an Airport Express from 2010. Since about a month and definetly since yesterday, I cannot connect any device via Wifi to it although LAN connection works correctly.
Is this express or extreme.. the rest of the post you refer to extreme.
What is the actual model number of the AE? A1xxx from the base or the part number MCxxx from the box.
If the AE is bridge.. I want you to try a different method.. put it in router mode.. don't worry about double NAT but ensure the IP range of the modem /router is different to the AE.. so if one is 192.168.x.x then the AE on default at 10.x.x.x is fine.. if the main router is 10.x then move the AE to 192.168.x.x
Make sure the guest wireless is off.
Using a 5.6 utility on your 10.6.8 OS mini go to the log and see if the wireless is registering..
You should see lists of wireless connection like..
Post as many screenshots of the setup as you can.. it helps loads.
IPv6 is starting to become a pain.. try it off and try local link and try auto.. in the computer.

I'm trying to download the app FIFA 14 and it says I don't have enough storage when I have more than double the storage it takes up whats the problem and how do I fix it? Thank you

IM trying to download fifa 14 but it says I don't have enough storage when I have not than double the amount it takes up does anyone know how to fix this?

To download and install an app the iPod needs storage available equal to about three times the file download size.
If you sync from your iTunes library less storage available is required.
Or delete some media from your iPod

As soon as iPod is connected the iTunes close with an errror

Now firstly yesterday i had a crash caused by a dealay in processes and after that my i tunes library went blank, luckuly my music was safe and soon i restored it. After i connected the i pod it asked me to reSync the ipod becuase it appeared to be tied to another iTunes library. After i did that the Itunes closed and gave an error message saying that it has unsuspectably closed. After i got it up and running i connected my iPod again which made it think for a while after which it gave the exact same error message. I used the 5 steps which did not realy help because i cant get my iTunes and iPod running at the same time. I decieded to probe the problem first by reinstaling the iTunes which did not have any effect whatsoever on the system or the problem. A thought came to me that the problem might be in the iPod itself and that i should try somehow to reset it to the default settings, because my itunes would not work i got my pc to reset the ipod to the defaults. After which the iTunes did not like my iPod and got the exactly the same error message again. Seemingly i had already renamed and tied my iPod to another library so that would mean that the problem is in the iTunes or the computer itself. Thus i tried to reinstall the iTunes before i tried again but this time insted of "Renewing" it wanted to completly wipe out iTunes to get a fresh start. So i ask you if threr is a way to fix this or atleast tell me how to completly wipe it out!

I suppose if you enabled disk use, stored it on in the iPod, then copied the file to the computer you're wanting to play it on. If you mean directly from the iPod to a TV... no.

HELP?? Can't update my ipod all of the sudden??

I hooked my iPOD to my computer the other day to update some songs and walked away. Assuming all was well, I unhooked my iPOD and went through my music on the iPOD and suddenly, no songs AT ALL were there. Now, when I try to update my entire library again (over 900 songs), a box on my iTUNES pops up and states:
Songs on the iPOD cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist.
HELP??? I tried to change my drive letter and that didn't work - what should I do...any suggestions? PLEASE?

"Songs on the iPOD cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist."
You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs

I just upgraded my new ipod touch to the latest software. Can I remove it and go back to previous version?

I just upgraded my new ipod touch to the latest software. Can I uninstall and go back to factory version?

Thanks fang22 for your help.

My iPod keeps showing the apple logo + a blank screen and the lock screen keeps freezing when trying to unlock it.

Last night I turned my iPod touch 4g off randomly and then when I went to turn it back on and went to unlock the screen it froze up right there and will not unlock to the home screen to where all my apps and all that are. Ever since that happened the iPod keeps showing the apple logo repeatedly, as well as a screen being completely blank when still turned on. Also when i plug in the iPod to the computer it recognizes it for a second but the iPod does nothing and shuts off and repeats in showing the apple logo and blank black screen. I can get it to the home screen where the slide to lock button is but every time i even attempt to slide it, it freezes up and doesn't do it.
I also having been trying to restore it by plugging in the cord and pressing the home button to get the screen with the usb cord to pop up but no matter what i do, it will not let me turn the iPod off period because every time i keep trying to do that it just shows the apple logo and all of what i said up above again. I have also seen it get a white screen to show a few times , which i assume means the white screen of death. I have never seen that screen before this happened.
I know this is not making any sense whatsoever but this is very hard to put into words in explaining. I have searched the internet but i can't find a single problem that sounds like this one in solving to fix it. The iPod is on right now as i'm typing this. I haven't attemtped to push the buttons down again to fix as i would assume maybe to just leave it alone as i sleep through the night in hopes of it maybe working or even dying. I've only had this iPod for 4 months now and i just don't understand why it won't let me turn it off completely or work properly for me to restore it.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How do I run 2 ipod nanos on the same itunes on the same computer?

Hi We now have 2 ipod nanos in the house, one 2nd generation and the other 3rd generation. How do we use the same computer with itunes set up for each nano's music? Many Thanks

No need to re-import CDs again. As long as the files are on computer in a directory accessible to logged in user then they can be added to library.
Files added in one library are not automatically added to any other library. Each library is independent of the others except in the case of deleted files. If one library deletes a file from library and disc then the other library will still have entry in iTunes but will have "!" next to it because the file itself is gone.

My ipod is doubling the bands!!
