My iPod shows the artist names several times.

Now you probably think that this is one of the same old questions which have been asked a lot of times. But it isn't.
When selecting artist on my new Fifth Generation iPod, many artists are shown severeal times, from 3-10 times infact!
And yes, I have checked the spelling, in iTunes, I've selected all the songs of one artist, and written the name.
And in iTunes, the artist is shown only once. But on my iPod there are several of them. And the songs are not divided equally in each part, each copy of the artist contains the excat amount of albums and songs as all the other, but still, these extra songs are not marked as more songs "on" my iPod.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
iPod Fifth Generation (Video) Windows XP

I have noticed this on two occasions with just 2 entries listed twice on the Ipod. I am not sure what the problem is. Both times the spelling looked the same.
I managed to get rid of the problem by copying the name from one of the albums then pasting it in artist and album artist for the other album. When I updated the ipod it was now under one heading.
I hope this helps.

By search you are referring to Google search ?? or you are using any search module in your site and the keywords shows same topic multiple times on page ?
Please elaborate more, provide site url.
Regarding using keywords, description etc, you can add that to your page using page properties > metadata section.

When I add artists to my ipod/iphone the artist name displays twice

When I go to add artists as a group to my ipod nano or iphone 4, the artist name comes up twice spelt differently. eg I see, "Black Eyed Peas" and "The Black Eyed Peas" from the Artist check list. Please note these songs are not on my iphone/ipod yet, this is me merely looking to select and add them to my iphone/ipod. Some of the songs I have by The Black Eyed Peas are from different albums but I have ensured they are all sorted by "The Black Eyed Peas" under "Get Info". I've also set the tracks to be 1 of 14 for one album and 1 of 1 for the songs that I got from compilation CD's.
I've found multiple help pages but none of them fixed the issue I am having. I am using iTunes 12.0.1.26 for windows 7. Can anyone fix this? It's itunes that's the issue it's not the device I am tying to sync it to.

The same thing happened to me when I updated to the new software when iPhone 4S came out.

Songs dont appear under the artist name on the ipod....

When i put a song on itunes, it appears under the artist and the song name but when i look for it on my iPod under the artist name, it doesnt show up. Where is the song?

I went to that link but it doesnt seem to help. In itunes I have made sure that the song title, album and artist name are already in there with the correct spelling etc. In itunes all the info is there. When I look for the artist in my ipod it doesn't show up. I can find the album and the individual songs but the artist is not there.
Also...Songs in my itunes have all been organized and did the "get info" thing but some of the same artist appear several times on my ipod. I made sure everything is spelled correctly and the same for the same artist name, I have done resets and restore on the ipod, I deleted all the music out of itunes and then reinstalled it but I am still having the problem with certain artists...not all of them just randomly some. And it is continuing to happen with some new mp3s I am adding. What is going on with that???
Any help would be greatly appreciated...I have only had my ipod 3 weeks!!! If there is something wrong with it I want to return it and get a new one or is it user error?
Thanks to anyone that can help.

How do I get the artists name to appear under the song?

In the iTunes it is not showing the artists name under the song if I type anything different like my name or some other artist It is shown but when I type the artist it is not shown how do I fix this problem?

Hi Kenneth,
I"m a little confused, your posts lists you using an iMac G5. The iMac dosen't have a battery to power the computer; that's a feature of portable computers like MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs.

Some of the Artist names are not showing up in iTunes or my iPod

I have a couple of songs by Yanni on iTunes and my iPod Video (5th Generation). The songs are listed and so are the albums, but the artist name is not. I tried retyping the artist's name but that didn't work.

See Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist.

Although my ipod shows the number of steps, calories, and time, it no longer is saving it to the history. also when I open the history it takes me to May 2010 instead of the current date. Any ideas on how to get it to start recording the history again?

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 another cable
- 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.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

I just started up with my IPod, I download music to my library and I accidently changed the artists name in an entire category. I can't figure out how to undo it. I read the edit help stuff but I can't select the item I need to edit

I just started using my IPod and I downloaded my library. I accidently changed the artist names for an entire genre category and I can't undo it. I read all the edit help stuff and I either can't select items to edit or I'm an idiot and I can't figure it out. I keep trying and I get a pop up that asks me if I want to change multiple items.

Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

Music albums no longer have the artist name associated with it

I updated to IOS 5 and In transferrig all my music to the ipad1, some of the albums no longer have the artist name associated with it..So when I search by artist name, it only shows they have one album when it should be two..
Also switching between songs, artist, album is very very painfully slow..seems like the music app hangs sometimes.
Tried many times resyncing and deleting but didn't work..Anybody experiencing these problems??

I have the same problem, and after hours of trying to figure out the problem i finally did!! Its going to be a pain in the BUTT, but its the only way. :/
1. Look for the song file.
2. Right click and choose prefences
3. Go to details and edit the information
- "Title" aka songs name
- "Album artist"
- "Album"
-The rest of the stuff can be filled in if you want
4. Click OK
5. Drag it into itunes
Hope this help. ;D

Can't delete the Artist Name

In one of my imported songs (from an LP) I decided that the Artist Name is wrong. I don't know the name, so I just deleted it from the Artist field in the Info window, and clicked Okay. But the name reappears the next time I open the information window. Same thing when I try to delete the Artist Name in list view. I highlight it and hit the delete key, but it comes back as soon as I click out of it. This is the only song on the entire album that does that. I can delete the Artist name on any other song and it stays deleted.

I just asked a similar question, but in reading your question figured out the answer to mine. The problem comes from the source being the LP. Are you running windows? If so, does the album show up in your music folder? If so, first delete the song from iTunes. Then click on the song, then "organize," then "properties," then "details", then change whatever you want, then reimport it into iTunes.

Time Capsule shows with wrong name on Time Machine

I changed the name of my Time Capsule using airport. However, Time Machine still shows the old Time Capsule name, with the new name underneath. When I try to back up using this disk, it shows the following error message:
"Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image "/Volumes/Old Time Capsule name/My laptop name.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1)."
I don't know how to fix this. I have looked everywhere. I deleted the NetworkInterfaces.plist file in Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration, and even made sure to do a secure empty trash. I even did a soft reset of the Time Capsule to the factory configuration, and renamed the Time Capsule all over again. I restarted the computer several times during this process, and yet no luck, it still shows the old Time Capsule name.
Does anybody know how to fix this? Thank you!

Ok, the MacBook is backing up now. Here is what I did:
After manually changing the name of the Time Capsule Disk as above, Time Machine was still not able to back up. I kept getting the error message
"Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image "/Volumes/Old Time Capsule name/My laptop name.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1)."
The problem is that "My laptop name" Time Machine was using is wrong. I had changed the laptop name in Network Perferences>Sharing before, but it still kept looking for the wrong .sparsebundle file in the Time Capsule. I don't know why, and I even deleted the NetworkInterfaces.plist file again with no success.
I entered the Time Capsule from the Finder menu, found the .sparsebundle file with the wrong name, and manually deleted it. Finally the MacBook was able to backup. However, although the MacBook name is the same as it used to be before, and even though there was already an old .sparsebundle file with the correct name, Time Machine created a new .sparesebundle with the same name, and began an entirely new backup. I am just letting it do this backup, and then I will manually delete the old backup, so it doesn't take space on the Time Capsule. I don't need the past backups (and hope I won't swallow my words), and I am tired of dealing with this, so this will be it.

When I plug in my panasonic videocamera iMovie doesn't recognize the videocamera (iPhoto does). I did the same operations several times in the past, I don't understand because is not working anymore...please

I don't understand why iPhoto recognize the pictrures in the videocamera and iMovie doesn't recognize the videos and the videocamera.
I see all the pictures taken in iPhoto but I can't see any video in iMovie because I don't see the videocamera in iMovie.
I did the same operation several times in the past and always worked it out, with USB connection, I've tryed to restart the computer, to turn on and off the camera, to change cable, to change MAC: always the same problem!
Please is anybody so kind to help me ? Thank you!

hi dlpmaster!
So, when it updates the program is working but then it sort of freezes. Then unfreezes and then again..
hmmm. what antivirus applications are you using?
as an experiment, does the freezing behavior still occur if you disable the antivirus prior to plugging your ipod in?
love, b

I just highlighted and changed the artist name of about a hundred songs in my library. This was an accident and I want to change them back. I can't "undo" or search for artists' names online. Any way to fix this? They are still highlighted.

These were all songs I had ripped from old CDs, lot of which, I no longer have. I can't remember that artists' names for all these songs. They are all "oldies" from the fifties and I just accidentally changed the artist for all them to Fats Domino. I'd had them all highlighted because I had done a batch change of their genre to Oldies. I couldn't tell that they were all still highlighted after that change because I could only see two of the songs at the time that I changed the artist name. Is there any possible way to undo this? All the tracks are still highlighted from the naming operation. I can't search for the artists' names online because I didn't purchase them from iTunes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I found one other way to do it. I just deleted them all out of my iTunes library. Now I can re-import them from Window's My Music file with the original artists' names intact.
Thanks for your help, Matt!
