One artist listed many times...

Hi guys,
One of the bands in my 3G iPod is listed once for each of their songs in the "artists" menu. I think I uploaded them as a compilation by accident. I deselected this option but it didn't change anything in my iPod.
Any suggestions?
THANKS!

A spelling or punctuation mistake, or sometimes a trailing space usually causes this after the artists and/or song name, which fools the iPod into thinking that there are two different artists or songs. The trailing space is the hardest to spot. 

Best way to cure this is to go into iTunes, highlight that artist and/or songs, right click on them and select "get info". 

This brings up the multiple song info window. In the artist or song box retype the name, as you would like it, and then click ok. 

Re sync this new artist/song info to your iPod.

    In Client Operations Download Computer Policy is listed many times and says Expired. I'm not sure how to remedy this.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    When it is set as expired it means that the client has perfomed the task in question and the information in the console is just for historical reasons and will be cleaned out automatically from the Console/DB by one of the Site Maintenance Tasks.
    So there is no error and nothing to do in this case just sit back and wait for it to be cleaned up.

    thanks for the reply.  guess i'll have to do that.  apple, not really happy with what you've done with this latest update.  have not been able to enjoy my music in my car since the update.  most of us dont mind changes that progress timely, but this was much more than just a progression.  this was a complete change.  and not a good one, at all.  thanks to the two people that replied.  appreciate it.

  • Trying to rename more than ONE artist at a time.

    im trying to rename many album, artist, etc.. names at once was wondering if there is a way to seclect many artists at once to edit cause i'm getting really tired of seclecting each one at a time. thank you.

    Not true. You CAN change multiple items if they are totally UNRELATED. They do not have to have ANYTHING in common.
    However, whatever fields you change will apply to ALL of the tracks selected.
    I had many duplicated artists in my library because of being one or 2 letters off, etc. I'd just highlight all of them, and change the artist field so that ALL the tracks now h ad the same artist. They were from different albums and different genres, and it didn't make a bit of difference.

  • Same Artist Listed Multiple times on iPod..

    Before anyone tells me about changing the artist info of the song, I know about that. The problem is not the file info, I haven't changed the artist's info in about 6 months but all of sudden, on my iPod only not iTunes, the same artist is listed about 10 times. I only have one album of the artist on my iPod, and like I said the files haven't been edited in months. I know its not a serious problem, but it is annoying scrolling through the same artist and I am hoping my iPod is becoming corrupted. Anyone experience the same problem?

    Hmm...same here.
    I had posted my question under the itunes post about a week ago and heard nothing back.
    In my case, after the recent update I added a new album to an aready existing artist in my iTunes, synced and the next time I used the ipod , I noticed it had the same Artist 3 times, identical playlist, album tiltes, and tracks!
    I've unchecked the artist, synced, and as expected they go from the ipod.
    I check them back on and they appear 3 times again after syncing.
    The only thing I have yet to do is a total restore. But with 60gigs of video audio and photos, its a bit of a pain!
    Im getting very wary of these Itunes updates, remember the infamous -48 error that had every one baffled for about a month?
    In my case the artist in question is New Order. I've renamed all my NO tracks to New Order2 as the artist, synced and the artist comes up twice!
    I've renamed them back to 'New Order' and clicked on 'Album artist' to be 'New Order' also and re synced and I get back 3 in the list!!!

  • Same Artist Lists Multiple Times

    I'm confused on why a random artist will list itself multiple times when others will organize themsevles under one name with a drop menu. All the artist/album/track information is listed correctly but on Itunes and on the Ipod it will list it seperately instead of together. Anyone know how to fix that?

    You need to make sure the artist name is spelt in an identical manner on every track. Even an extra space at the end of the name that you might not notice can make a difference. Try this even if everything looks the same. Sort your iTunes library by artist to bring your tracks together. Click on the first track by your artist, hold down the shift key and click on the last track in the list, this will highlight all in between. Right click on the list and choose Get Info, you get a dialogue box asking if you want to update multiple items, click Yes. If you see the "artist" field is left blank, then there is a discrepancy with that name. Overtype the artist name then click ok and this will ensure the whole selection is identical. Once you've done this connect your iPod, if you are updating automatically it will pick up the changes. If you are updating manually follow the instructions above with the iPod connected and carry out the changes directly on the iPod's song list.
    If the name is not the issue, try this. Highlight all the songs for that artist, right click on them and select "apply sort field/same artist".

  • Artist listed multiple times?

    I have a 30 gig Ipod. The artist menu lists the same artist multiple times. How do I remove the multiple?

    So to correct this, in the artist or song box retype the name, as you would like it, and then click ok. You should do this even if no mistakes are immediately visible.
    Re sync this new artist/song info to your iPod.
    If the above is not the issue, try this also. Highlight all the songs for that artist, right click on them and select "apply sort field/same artist".
    See if that works.

  • Artist listing appears 4 times with the same info

    I have the same artist listed 4 times on my ipod with the exact same information under each listing. I deleted all the songs from itunes, synced my ipod, reloaded them, and synced again... and again got the same artist listed 4 times with the exact same menu under each listing. It all appears correctly in itunes. Anyone help me?

  • EA3500 Device List many many dupplicates

    I have been using this EA3500 for a while and I'm like it. The one issue is seeing what devices are on the network. The list of attached devices ends up with some of the devices listed many times (my desktop computer is currently listed 34 times). And sometimes devies don't show up at all. I havent' found any way to fix it or even clear the list short of doing a factory default reset on the router, and within a day there are dupplicates again. Any ways to fix this or at lest clear the list w/o havving to reset the entire rdevice

    I recommend doing the following if you haven't upgraded yet or just reload the current version to ensure a clean install of FW:
    1. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.
    2. Factory reset the router with all other devices disconnected or turned OFF accept for 1 wired PC.
    3. Reload or Update the FW using IE or FF. Just download the FW file to your local wired LAN PC.
    4. Factory reset the router and then set up from scratch first and test with out loading the saved config from file. Check to see if any problems are fixed before loading the saved config from file.
    5. Turn on one device at a time and Reserve the IP address for each device. Graduate adding and reserving until your done.

  • I have ripped all of my Cds into iTune, now I cannot find where some of the artists have been filled, not all the artists are listed, yet others are listed multiple times as they play with other groups. How do I list all one artist under his name? I know

    Sorry this will appear pretty basic stuff.  I have ripped all my Cds into iTunes, but in starting to make playlists it is apparent that some artists are listed multiple times as they appear with different bands, and others do not appear at all.  I have tried searching different categories, compilations etc, and Finder box does not bring them up.
    My questions are:-
    Do I need additional software to manipulate my tunes in iTunes?
    If so what is suggested?
    or if not:-
    How can I re arrange the tunes so that they appear only under one artist?
    How do I make my "lost" artists tunes appear?
    Thanks for any advice.

    I am not really following what the problem is here.  Artists are listed in the Artist field.  I guess you could stick individual artists in a band in a field such as comments, but then you would have to include searching the comments field in your search.  In which fields are these names located?
    How are you making these playlists? Are these smart playlists or are you just dragging tracks to a playlist?
    Are you doing this search with Finder's find or with iTunes' search?
    If I knew exactly what it was you were trying to do I could tell you if you need addditional software.  In reality though there isn't "additional software" for iTunes.  There's Applescript plugins but I don't see how the ones with which I am familiar would have anything to do with searching for artist names.
    How can I re arrange the tunes so that they appear only under one artist?

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

  • One artist in my library is listed four times

    i have my library sorted by artist, the one where you have a picture for each artist and click it to open all their albums. all of the sudden today one particular artist has four different "buttons", pictures whatever you want to call it. i have tried selectign them all and get info and re entering the name into all songs at once, have tried doing the same thing in sorting, have tried everything i know to do. any help? on and its not copies, like each listing for this artist isnt the same, it just randomly put different songs into different buttons. it even broke up albums on some, like a few songs from one album are in one button, a few songs from that same album are in another and so on...

    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.

    I used Match, and now there are artists missing when I search by artist, yet they are in my library when I search by song. If they are in many song list,  why aren't they in my artist list? Also I can't sort my songs list by artist on iPhone,  so their music is basically lost in space....help

    It's not clear from your post, but you do realise
    that if you import a cd as a compilation, it will not
    appear under artists? This is done to save the iPod
    being cluttered up with single artists entries who
    might have only one song listed.
    I wasn't aware of that. It's true that I haven't been using the "compilation" tag for a long time. I've only started using it with iTunes 7 as otherwise with Coverflow I would have one album cover for each artist in a compilation. Before that my compilations weren't tagged as such as that is quite probably why each artist from compilations showed up when browsing by artists.

  • I have 3 older ext. hard drives that I've utilized many times. Today while searching for old files, one of the three is no longer recognized by my PowerMac.  Any suggestions?

    I have 3 older ext. hard drives that I've utilized many times. Today while searching for old files, one of the three is no longer recognized by my PowerMac. The drive is not listed in Disk Utility.  Any suggestions?

    Is the computer in you equipment line:
    Dual Core Intel Xenon
    (which is not a PowerMac but a Mac Pro) the one you are asking about, or do you have an older PowerMac?
    If a Mac Pro, their forums are here:
    Mac Pro
    and, as Mac Pros have a totally different architecture from the pre-2005 Macs this forum covers, you may not have the same issues that can affect the older models. If someone didn't notice your equipment line, you could get advice that doesn't apply.
    If you really have a pre-2005 PowerMac, read on.
    If the stubborn external is USB and does not have its own power brick (i.e., it gets power only from the computer's UBS ports--"bus powered"), it may not be getting enough power. As electric motors age, they can demand more power than when new, and the power available on any USB port is limited.
    The typical workabouts to making a computer recognize an aging, bus-powered USB drive are:
    Get a powered USB hub (has its own power brick
    Get a "Y" USB cable: 1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    The second gets power from two USB ports on the computer and often that's enough.
    Remember that the USB ports on your keyboard seldom provide enough power even for a thumb drive, so be sure to use the USB ports on the back of the computer.
