My iTunes doubled all my songs...

Hi.... so I've downloaded the latest iTunes and it doubled all my tracks. Now, I have two samples of every song of my library.
Is there any way to cut one?

do the duplicates have a cloud symbol by them?
If so then Preferences, Store and uncheck the Show itunes in the cloud purchases.
The duplicates should dissapear

There is no such thing as an "SG3" or "SG4". Did you possibly mean a 3GS and iPhone4?
It has always been very basic to ensure that a backup exists of your media and other important files. Computers fail, hard drives crashes... things happen. Do you not have a backup? The iPhone, like all iDevices is NOT a backup of your media, but rather a mirror of the content in the iTunes library on your computer.
If your contacts, pics, etc are not on your computer, no backups of the iPhone exist, and they are not on the phone, they are gone.
No one can magically make them re-appear.

I can't get all my artists to show in my iTunes but all the songs show in the songs section. How do I get the artist to show?

Is there a way to see on itunes to all my songs the bpm and the key to every song?

I have some external programs such as BPM Analyser or Mixmeister that i can scan all my songs and have the bpm and the key to every song!Is there a Plug-in or something else that i can have that as a "category" on Itunes so dont need to open another program to do that?It will be useful to the same list to have all and don't need to use external program.If someone know something about that please help.

There's a field and column for BPM in iTunes - control-click on any of the column headers to see the full list, from where you can select the BPM column to appear. This if course presumes that the utility you're using will write the BPM information into that field; most will. There's no specific field for the key signature, so the utility would have to write that information into another field such as the Comments.
Regards.

How do I turn off Sync without iTunes deleting all the songs on my iPod!

Well that's basically my question. I want to keep all the songs that are already there, but from this point on just add new ones manually. When I unchecked the Sync box it wiped out my iPod. Thanks in advance for any help.

You need to turn off automatic sync before you delete all your tracks from iTunes. If you don't, then you need to prevent the iPod from synching when you connect:
While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Command and Option keys on a Mac. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer. Then you can set iTunes to manual synchronization.
Of course, this won't help if your iPod has already had the tracks removed. But you'll know what to do next time.

HELP! After installing iTunes 7, all the songs on my iPod disappeared!

I dont know if othe people are having this problem too but it really *****!
I downloaded iTunes 7 a while back because i had no choice, i wouldnt be able to buy songs/music videos from it if i didnt.
It installed a new iTunes
then a new iPod upgrade.
A day later, i pluged in the iPod.
It asked me if i wanted to upgrade it with gapless playback because i thought it would save space or something.
so i put yes, and let it do it over night since it took so long..
then the next thing i knew when i woke up, is that all the songs on my iPod were GONE!
I even plugged it back into the computer and iTunes said there were no songs on my iPod! or videos or anything!
I rechecked everything and it said the iPod was still 98% full (because i had like 4,300 songs on it) and only 2mb of free space...
I checked iTunes and it said that the things were taking up space were 10% "pics" and 89% "other files".... so i know itunes can see the files there..
I KNOW THEY'RE STILL THERE!
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME GET THEM BACK?!?!
I know it was the gapless playback thing... is there any way to undo it??
Please... someone help me... i cant just back up all my songs... because i reformatted my computer a while ago too.. so i have no backed up songs... and a lot are from other friends too!
iPod Video 40GB Windows XP

IF all songs on the ipod are also on the PC
Just restore the ipod
If Not on the PC
You will have to TRY and rep[air the ipods database with yamipod. This way is not full proof, but its the only option you have since you have not backed up http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/docs/help/corruptedipod.php

Since ios6, itunes deleted all my songs on my ipod and on my computer!

I have itunes set to organize my library for me. I found that for some reason after ios6 update, when I synced my ipod, all of the music got removed from it. However, at the time, I could still play it on the computer.
When I looked into the itunes folder, I found that when I played a song on my computer, itunes would copy that song from its original location in the itunes>music> (artist name) folder to another folder it created in itunes>(artist name). In other words, it was moving everything out of the music subfolder into the general itunes folder. Everything that it moved would subsequently sync fine to the ipod.
So, thinking I had the solution, I told itunes to consolidate my files in my library. Apprently bad idea. It did copy all of the files from within the music folder out into the general itunes folder, but somewhere in the copy, it must have lost the files, because now most of them are no longer on the computer either. When I go to play them in itunes now, there is an exclamation point. Itunes deleted my music and instead, I have folders with artists name, and a placeholder of sorts where the file is supposed to be with a little x over it (Ihave windows 7, btw). Nor are the files in their original folders in the music subfolder. I never touched any of this music manually. I was trusting itunes to do its thing with keeping my library organized and all.
It did manage to copy about 1000 of them just fine, but all the rest of my music is gone from my computer! I did also restore the ipod, which seemed to sync fine after the restore, but again, because of the now missing music on my computer, obviously those files did not sync. Help. What happenned????

Reset didn't work at first until I unchecked the 'sych only checked songs and videos' in iTunes, clicked apply and then rechecked it and clicked sync and it worked.
Thanks.

My hard drive crashed and i lost my itunes and all my songs...

as the title says my hard drive n my laptop crashed again and i lost my itunes and all of my songs on that cpu. however, i still have all of my songs on my ipod nano....when i get my laptop back from being fixed does anyone know if i will be able to put the songs back onto my itunes because i dont want to have to pay for them again. thanks

Go here for an iPod to PC step by step instructions using 3rd party software http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/
Then soon as you do this back up ASAP by going here http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/backup/
If your harddrive ever crashes again, and you connect your iPod to that empty iTunes library, or your PC crashes and your iPod starts acting up you will be screwed if you don't have a backup

Or... Press the Shift key and choose File>Show Exact Duplicates.
Connect your iPod. In the iTunes window click File>Sync iPod

TS1717 I have logged onto Itunes and all my songs are greyed out and I cannot play any of them.

I have paid for a year to have Itunes available on another computer but when I go in, all the songs are there but they seem to be greyed out and none of them will play. I cant seem to find out what is wrong here. I have checked my account and its all up to date. I only have the two computers running on this scheme. Any suggestions? (I am not computer literate so please advise for a novice). The main computer for Itunes is XP and the second computer is Windows 7.

Try:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
The grey-out ones may not be recoverable.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Itunes moved all my songs!!!!

Hi there,
Does anyone know how i can return all my songs back into the folders the way i had it sorted before itunes decided to re-arrange everything according to artist instead of in the album folders i had them before?
thanks
Burny

Unless you can find an app to do it for you, yes, you will have to do it manually.
Any reason you don't want iTunes to organize them for you?You can do everything in iTunes. There's not much need, if any, to access them in Windows Exploder.
It's similar in principle to your Windows system files. You let Winbdows take care of them.

I bought an album off of iTunes and all the songs only play halfway, what should I do?

What should I do? Because I payed good money for it and now all the songs on the album only play halfway. And when I try to drag the little dot to a specific part of the song it immediately changes.

This happened to me last week- my solution- I went back to the store and 'repurchased' the songs- iTunes alerted me that I had already purchased the songs and asked if I wanted to redownload the song at no charge. I said yes and once the new download was complete- I deleted the songs that only played halfway so I wouldn't have a duplicate that didn't work.

My iTunes doubled all my songs...
