New iPod touch, adding library music and got duplicates of some albums?

I was wondering if anyone could offer me some help. I got a new iPod touch today in replacement of my old 8G one, and i transferred all my music okay, but when i went onto my albums option on my ipod, it listed several of the same albums with same songs on them, eg. my Watchmen soundtrack appears at least 7 times, all with the same songs. why is this? and i was it only with some of my music? can anybody help me please?

First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • My new ipod touch 4g that i just got is running extremely slow and the apps crash alot. I have about 10gb left out of 16 gb. When i got it, it was brand new, and ran like how it is now. I was just wondering if this could be some sort of defect?

  • Ok, so I want to buy the new iPod touch 5g this week and I have an iPhone 4. I want to transfer all the data from the phone to the iPod and have the files the exact same. I don't want to redo data, say erase game data (campaigns, achievements)...

  • Bought a Brand New iPod touch, my entire music library WILL NOT SYNC (stuck on waiting for changes)

    I just bought a new ipod touch, and I'm really struggling to not throw this thing against the wall.
    My music won't sync. Its stuck on "Waiting for Changes to be applied"
    Im not trying to sync anything else, no video, pictures, apps, anything. Just music. My old iPod touch syncs just fine. I can't restore it, because the restore takes it back to when I was setting the ipod up. I factory reset my ipod many times. I've tried manually syncing songs individually but it hangs on the same spot.
    My mac is up to date, my ipod is up to date, my itunes is up to date. What the **** can I do?

    I have been able to get SOME songs on by doing artist one by one. I also took off all album art. I have only 10 songs or so that I have bought so this is all my own stuff. I just bought a refurbished ipod touch from the apple store. It seems weird to me that it is not all ipods, just some and with the searching I have done, it was mainly Sept to Nov of last year there was issues.... I feel like returning my ipod and hoping I get one with no issues.

  • Brand new Ipod touch old library

    So I got a new ipod touch and a new macbook. I was able to import my itunes library for my old ipod to the new macbook easily. Now, how do I get my library onto the new ipod touch? If I just plug it in will it sync? I kept the account info the same and authorized the new computer on the account. Can I have two ipods using the same itunes library? TIA

    *Can I have two ipods using the same itunes library?*
    Yes you can, at the moment I use three different model iPods with the same library. Just connect your new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions to register and name it. It will connect to iTunes and prompt you to automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like. You can leave it at manual update or choose to sync music - selected playlists: How to use multiple iPods with one computer</a

  • Brand New iPod Touch - It's stuck and not being recognized by iTunes

    I just got a new iPod Touch for a gift. I plugged it in and it needed to update software to 4.0. I allowed it to download and install and left the computer alone. Came back and it is currently stuck showing the screen with the USB and the iTunes symbol. It is no longer recognized on iTunes when I plug it in. I cannot get it off this screen, I would do a restore but iTunes does not recognize this. When I plug the iPod touch in, it shows up in device manager as Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) (2 of them). I am able to install the drivers on one and the other it will not let me and gives me a code 10. This is very frustrating especially since I have owned it less than 5 hours.
    PLEASE HELP I HAVE SEARCHED FOR HOURS NOTHING WORKS!!!

  • HT201442 Just bought a brand new ipod touch a month ago and went in to iTunes. There was an update for me so I downloaded it to my ipod and then it went into recovery mode. Tried to restore it in itunes but was told this device isn't eligible.  Help!!

    Just bought a new ipod touch a month ago.  Went into itunes to burn music and had an update to download which I did. Then I get a message that my ipod has gone into recovery mode. It's locked up with a black screen with iTunes logo and picture of a plugin on the screen. Tried to restore it as recommended but itunes said this device isn't eligible for the requested build. Error codes 3194 and 17. This is very frustrating considering the cost of the ipod and how new it is. Now what do I do?  Buy another one? Can anybody fix these types of things? Is this a common occurance or am I just unlucky?

  • When I add my iCloud ID to my new iPod Touch, will it sync and bring my contacts down from the server?

    Hello.  I created an iCloud account today and added a bunch of my contacts to the address book.  I am getting a new iPod Touch (fifth generation) in two months and if I add my iCloud account to it, will the device sync with iCloud and copy my contacts to the iPod Touch?

  • New iPod touch 4th generation (white) just got friday 11/25/11

    Does anyone have a problem with the new iPod touch 4th gen, screen. My white one almost looks like it has a sepia layer above it, and the icons do not look as clear as the older black one's (4g), is this probably because i didnt buy it from apple?

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults.
    However, from your description it is harder to understand what your problem is.

  • HT1320 I have a new IPod Touch 5G, 32 gb and suddenly it will not turn on, and will not restore using UTunes.  Any help appreciated.

    I have tried many times to restore my  new IPod Touch 5G in I Tunes and it will not allow me to do it.  My Ipod will not turn on at all even when on a fresh charge.  Only displays the arrow leading up to ITunes logo.  I have tried the method of holding the home button and on button and this does not work.  Any help appreciated.
    My I Pod was working fine until the day I updated the software to 6.0.1.

    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.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen: Music not listed under artists nor albums, only in Songs

    I just purchased a new iPod Touch 5 Generation, I have lots of albums on my PC, tried to copy them to iTunes, works perfectly and existing in iTunes, when checked the iPod Touch 5th Generation, the songs appear under Songs But nothing under Artists nor Albums!
    All my Albums are with well maintained id-tags.
    I checked the compilation, It's already un-tick.
    Please help...

    Nothing shows in the artists or albums columns at all, or specific songs don't show up in the corresponding artist or album listings?
    Standard things to try would be a reset, then a restore (although with a new machine that ought not to be necessary).
    I'm leaning towards the possibility of multiple tags. iTunes is much happier when files have a single ID3v2.3 tag. Where multiple tags exist there is the possibility that iTunes and iOS might process different tags. Select the tracks of a test album, uncheck the tracks and sync to remove from the device. Select again, right click and use Convert ID3 Tags... > None and click OK. Repeat the process two or three times just to be sure. Then use Convert ID3 Tags... > v2.3. You will need to refetch/reembed any artwork. Check the tracks again and sync. Any better now?

  • I got a first generation IPOD TOUCH for my husband and want to take some songs From my Computer that is hooked up to MY newer IPOD (not Touch, just IPOD)  Is it possible to take the music from my ITUNES account and add the his IPOD Touch without changing

    I am trying to take songs from my PC AND My Itunes account and send them to my husband's IPOD TOUCH First Generation BUT I don't want to change my whole ITUNES account that is already on my computer.  When I plug HIS Ipod Touch into the PC, my ITUNES account wants me to CHANGE the DEVICE Name on the account and I don't want to do that.  I only want to share SOME of my songs on my Itunes account and send them to h is IPOD TOUCH?  Is this possible and HOW!  Thanks a ton!!!  I "checked" off the songs that I want to send but that's as far as I get before it asks me to change the Device Name?

    Is his iPod usually synced to a different iTunes library/computer?  If so, that would explain the message iTunes is giving you.  An iPod is designed to sync with only one computer/iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new library, the iPod's contents will be erased and replaced with what is in the newer/different iTunes library.
    So if there is content you would like to add to his iPod, simply transfer it from your iTunes library to his.

  • I have 3 iPods on my iTunes account. Two of which are my daughters. I have purchased a new iPod touch for my daughter, and want to establish her own iTunes account WITHOUT having all of her music go away when we do this.

    I multiple ipods (3 different users) on the same itunes account. All of the music is either from cd's or purchased from iTunes legally. A new iPod has been purchased, and I want to open a new iTunes account for the daughter so I can actually use iClound myself. How can I open a new account without losing all of the music that is tied to MY account, that is hers. I would like not to lose all of that music. Thanks

    Content is permanently tied to the account that it was purchased with.
    Simply plug the iDevice into the computer and sync the content you want.
