Same album showing 3 times

I have the same 3 albums showing up in my ipod 3 times. Its only listed once in Itunes. Anybody know how to fix this, its very annoying
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. If you see the "artist" field is left blank, then there is a discrepancy with that name.
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".
That often works.

  • Album display shows same album many times

    Just installed iTunes 8 and switched to Album display. Display now shows same album many times. Each time is for a different song. Occurs on compilation CD that has many artists, showing one for each artist. Example: Top Gun Soundtrack
    How do you consolidate to only show album once?
    How do you get the album cover for one of these compilation cd's? comes back and says Artwork can't be found

    Have you had a look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together

  • 2 copies of the same album showing up on my iPod classic

    Strange if you ask me. So here's a synopsis of what went down.
    I ripped a cd to iTunes (a compilation I might add)and changed a few things.( one of those things being as I marked it NOT a compilation, I like to have my music sorted out to my preferences. Yes I'm weird like that)The album shows up as one album on iTunes, and I sync my ipod to put that album and then some on my iPod, after all is said and done, I scroll throw my Cover Flow and there are 2 copies of the said CD showing up as one that's not a compilation and the other as a compilation. I have tried re-syncing my iPod to get the extra copy that shows up as a compilation off my iPod, but with no success. Can somebody with or without the expertise of resolving this kind of issue be so kind in helping me resolve my little problem? It would be most appreciated to the upmost extent of my gratitude

    See my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • Same album showing several times

    I recently downloaded new ipod 3.1 software and resynced the songs on my ipod touch.. however, since then, the Album category on ipod shows one album as many number of times as the songs in it.. and there's no inconsistency in the name of album, all have same characters... please help as i'm pretty meticulous about whats displayed on my ipod screen.

    Its common. Tey going into the 'Get info' section when you right click the album. Then modify data tick each song seprately as part of a complilation and it usually works. A lot of effort but it works.

    Hello,  I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out.  Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible.  I have a Match subscription and Match is working.  If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them.  I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
    Thanks

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

  • A single photo in Aperture smart album shows multiple times on Apple TV2.

    Sometimes a random photo in my Aperture smart albums displays on my ATV2 multiple times..can I fix this? For example, currently a single picture shows up on the Apple TV in the photos taken "in the past week" smart album 124 times, and the same picture shows up in the "in the past month" smart album 15 times.
    When I double check the picture in the original smart album on the computer, it appears correctly, i.e. only one time.
    Suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem.  I deleted all the photos in the photostream then tried to drag a couple new ones in to see if they'd synch.  Nothing is happening.  I recently installed aperture (have about 125 gb in the library).  If anyone has an idea what to do, i'm open to try something.

  • Why does iTunes show tracks that I've ripped from a single CD as individual tracks with individual albums all with the same album name?

    I've looked all the data about each track in terms of album name and other seemingly relevant pieces of stuff, but whenever I look at my songs by albums, it still shows these tracks individually. It's like the same album is repeated over and over instead of the album appearing once with all the tracks listed beneath it.

    EG. A CD upload has all of the tracks appearing as indivual alumbs. But as its not physically on the computer anymore I dont seem to be able to do anything about it.  Is there away for me to access cloud and rectify this? or manage it from a device?
    Thanks
    You can edit the "metadata" of the tracks in the cloud just as you would if the tracks were physically on your computer. Hightlight the tracks of the album you want to edit, do a Get Info..., edit "metadata," click OK.

  • Why does my music from one album show up as two separate albums: one with all the songs in it, and another with two or three. Why is it that when i delete the incomplete album it takes the same songs out of the complete album also?

    When I first imported music from my CDs onto my iTunes library, all the songs appeared, but those with the album artist and guest/additional artists they appeared in their own album under the same album name. After searching through iTunes help and support, I learned how to put all the songs under the same album (part of a compalition) and add the additional songs information, artwork, lyrics, etc. After getting all the music (imported from my CDs) onto the iTunes library and in their album. I synced my music onto my iPhone. (My iPhone is a 3GS)
         Once the music was on my iPhone i noticed that the albums appeared in 2s again. One was the complete album with all the songs, song info, etc. together (solo tracks and/or one with multiple artists) and another album of the same name, artwork, etc. with 2-4 of the songs from that album. Since all I saw need for was to have the completed album on my iPhone, I deleted the album with only 2-4 of the songs. When I went back and selected the completed album, all the songs I had deleted from the incomplete album were also deleted from the completed album too! I just couldn't figure out why it did that and my my friends with iPods and iPhones said they didn't know what caused it either. So now I'm here with the idea how to fix this problem.
         If anyone has a solution to this problem, please reply. It will be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
    Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.

  • How can I display a compilation album as one album rather than as separate songs? (each different artist shows with the same album art)

    I want a compilation album, consisting of different artists, to all be included within the one album folder.  Currently when scrolling through my ipod classic each artist has its own album folder, even though they originate from the same album e.g. "The Best Rock 'n' Roll Album in the World Ever" consists of two discs (50 songs).  Each artist's song shows as a 'separate album' of one song, each with the same album artwork.  I want all of those on Disc 1 to be under one album cover and similarly for those on Disc 2.

    Select all the tracks on disc 1 and via Get Info, change the Album Artist to Various Artists and turn on the compilation flag. This is iTunes 12:
    Then repeat for disc 2.

    I recently updated to Yosemite and never had this issue before.

    I'm not 100% sure of the ins and outs, but it's some sort of known issue between Yosemite, Airport and wifi. All you can do is wait for a fix and keep restarting your equipment as and when needed, unless you have the ability to connect your Mac via ethernet.

  • Zen Mozaic 8GB, the same Album Art shows up on every f

    My Zen Mozaic froze last Sunday but I brought it back to life using that wonderful reset button (or whatever it's called). It works as it should except for one thing - every single music file appears to belong to the same album. This might not have been an issue if it wasn't for the fact that I actually have more than one album on my player. Also, some of the tracks doesn't even belong to an album at all since I recorded them myself using Audacity. Thus, I am quite sure that something is wrong.
    The background image when playing any file changes to this album image, and when I click the white button a few times to change to the playlist, the album image pops up again (as it normally should... If the song actually belonged to the album). The image used should normally only be present on one track though this one track, according to Creative Centrale, doesn't even have an album image. :smileyvery-happy:
    I removed the song that naturally should have that album image, turned the player off and on again but the problem is still there. This never happened before the player froze. I attempted to bribe the player, but it didn't help either.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this?

  • I have extra tracks of the same song,plus extra albums showing of the same album in their relevant lists how can i remove the extra ones safely?.

    Please advise, i have somehow downloaded some extra tracks  of the same songs, plus their relavant albums showing in songs/albums lists on my ipod nano 7th gen,how can i remove the unwanted extra songs/albums  safely. Please note i am a newcomer to using a ipod nano/uploading,downloading music.

    Hi Myketyke,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Since you are syncing your iPod nano to your computer, the best option is to remove the duplicates from the iTunes library on your computer.  Then resync your device.  The article below will show you how:

  • The same podcast shows up multiple times

    In iTunes, the same podcast shows up multiple times. There is only one copy of the file on my computer, and the file it located in the right location, but in iTunes, the same podcast is repeated two or more times. When I delete a single podcast and try to play its copies, iTunes notifies me that it can't find the file. I believe this happens when I use the import folder utility and add music in the iTunes music default location (which includes the podcasts as well as the music I want to import). Does anyone know how to keep this from happening?
    Thanks

    Well, the easiest way would be to stop using the import folder utility. Sounds like you're adding the podcast multiple times. You're probably doing it to other files as well...

    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.
