Please help! songs are duplicated and lost!

can anyone help me? i'm having trouble with updating my songs into the library as the songs are all duplicated and many of them has exclamation marks at the front which says that the original source is missing and the songs therefore are lost! i use a PC, but hardly think that is the reason and now i have a library full of songs in at least three copies and don't know where it went wrong! i think i can't organise my folders properly but now i don't know how to fix it! please, someone help.

The error is caused becuase there was a prevous copy of that file at the old location and iTunes is looking for the same file on both locations. If one of the two files for that song work, simply delete the non-working one from your iTunes library and that should fix the problem.
As for the WMA format, iTunes- being an apple product- uses a different format (usually AAC). But as it is an apple product and it feels the need to be better than any microsoft version, iTunes will convert it for you if the file is an unprotected WMA file, protected WMA files cannot be converted by iTunes. First you must have Windows Media Player 9 or later installed on your pc. Then, to convert the file simply drag and drop it into you iTunes library and iTunes will do the rest.
Hope this helps.

  • Songs are duplicated and one won't work

    I bought my first Apple product: iPod Touch 64 and I use Windows Vista on a HP computer. In iTunes when I click on an album the songs are listed twice and one of the copies gives an error message *"The song __ could not be used because the original file could not be found."* How do I fix this? I have 49 GB of music. Also iTunes is not recognizing my songs that are in WMA format- is this normal?

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

    1. Have you applied sync settings for music to be synced to the iPhpne?
    2. Photos that are synced to the iPhone cannot be deleted directly from the iPhone

    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.

  • On Music Player songs are duplicated...

    On Music Player songs are duplicated.  This happens second time for me.  It's very annoying and also it's unnecessarily occupying the memory
    Recovery:
    Have delete all the songs and recopy it

    using windows explorer, remove all files that are not songs.
    especially the BBThumb.*** files. They are hidden so you may need to deactivate the "hide system files" options in the windows explorer.
    basically it is the indexation file. Remove it, then your blackberry will index it again.

  • When I create a playlist and sync it to my iPhone not all of the playlist transfers over.  All of the songs are there and are playable they just do not show up on the playlist.

    When I create a playlist and sync it to my iPhone not all of the songs on the playlist transfer over.  All of the songs are there and are playable they just do not show up on the playlist.  For example, in itunes on my computer a playlist has over 100 songs, but when I sync my phone, my iphone only shows 60 songs.  I can go into my phone and add the missing songs to the playlist, but the next time I sync my phone the songs are gone again.

    Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
    Here's that thread...

    If you don't know your ID, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625.  Then you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.  Of course, you can only do this if it's your ID.

  • Manually Manage Music option is GONE...when I plug in my IPHONE (which is already synced to this computer) I can no longer manually manage songs. I have already opted to do this but all my songs are grey and it won't allow me to manage ANY songs?

    I cannot delete or add any songs to my Iphone (or my son's ipod) for some reason..all the songs are grey and cannot be manually managed. Any feedback is appreciated.

    You will need to restore your phone as a new one using the itunes on your computer.  This WILL erase everything on the phone but it will let you change the name of the phone and then you can add content to it.

  • Hi there, can anyone please help? Download itunes and it says The Itunes library .itl file is locked, or on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.

    Hi there, can anyone please help? Download itunes and it says The Itunes library .itl file is locked, or on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.

    Holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening. That will bring up the 'choose iTunes library' dialog. Select 'Choose LIbrary' from the choices and navigate to your music folder and iTunes music folder.
    Or refer to this article:

    Have you attempted to reset the SMC? That would be the first step. Hold the left control, option, shift key and the power button for about 5 seconds and release. Then try to reboot. Might as well reset the PRAM as well. Hold command, option, P, R on start up until the machine restarts. If that doesnt' have any affect we'll have to dig deeper into a potential hardware failure.
    If this method doesn't work, check the webcam that will tell the problem is on the iSight & WiFi cable. If your webcam is ok, then it'll be the WiFi card problem. Hope it can help ;-)

  • Since upgrading to ios5 doesnt play music from my playlists allthough songs are installed, and some of the applications are crashing

    since upgrading to ios5 on my iphone4 does not play music (ipod) from my playlists allthough songs are installed, and some of the applications are crashing

    Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
    plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
    in iTunes select the phone or iPad
    Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
    Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
    Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
    Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
    Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.
    Working now !!!!!
