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.

  • 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.

  • Sending the same email message several times to contacts.  Turned off iCloud, but still sending message.

    Sending the same email message several times to contacts.  Turned off iCloud, but still sending message. 
    A user had synced all of his contacts from his computer and iPhone to his iCloud.  Today, his iCloud sent out the same message 20 times to all recipients.  We were able to transfer all calendar items and contacts back to his pc and then disable iCloud.  However, it still sent out the messages.  Any ideas?

    It's a carrier issue. I have AT&T and had this issue with my friend (who had an Android) and my mother (who had a feature phone). Both of them have Verizon for service and I'm thinking the issue was on Verizon's end. They both just dealt with it as we tried all sorts of things to get this sorted out (other than contacting Verizon directly) and had no luck.
    They've both switched to iPhones so it's a moot point for us now, at least.

  • ITunes splits songs from the same album into several albums, all sort fields appear to match. Any suggestions on how to put them in one album?

    iTunes sometimes splits songs from the same album into several albums, all sort fields appear to match. Any suggestions on how to return them to the proper album?

    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.
    N.B. Giving different things the same sort value (or indeed vice versa) tends to lead to trouble.

  • 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.

  • Apple TV keep having me purchase the same tv show every time I try and watch it. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks

    I keep having to pay for the same tv show i purchased already. Does anyone else experiencce this?
    Thanks, Tim

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Is the TV show not in your purchased section on the Apple TV or in the purchased section from iTunes on your PC.

  • Same album listed multiple times

    I have songs from the same album but they are listed as seperate albums so the cover art flow has numerious albums that are the same.

    Try filling in the Album Artist for all tracks, and make sure that the Album and Artist fields are identical for all the tracks.

  • 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.

  • Ipod album problems: Several times the same album

    Hello, since 9 months I try to fix this problem with Ipod/Iphone:
    I have 50 Traks in a album folder Dance Tunes. All informations are same for each track exept artist, but album selection and album name is always Dance Tunes.
    In ITunes it's shown as 1 album with 50 tracks, after synchronisation i have 22 Albums with 2-50 tracks (always random)with the same name: Dance Tunes.
    I have this problems with more than 800 tracks in my playlist and even I delete and reimport, the get the same problems. Rename the album ends with the same 22 albums with random tracks in it.
    Anyone same problem and know how to fix my 180 doubled albums on my iphone?
    I have the problem with windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
    Thx
    Dan

    The information is there...
    Select all 50 tracks of your Dance Album. Use CTRL-I to Get Info. On the info tab enter *Various Artists* into the *Album Artist* field. On the Options tab set *Part of a compilation* to Yes. Sync the album to your iPhone. ALL artists will be listed in the Artist menu, but the album will be listed once in the Albums menu and once in the Cover Flow view.
    For iTunes I recommend you use the options *View > Column Browser > Group Compilations > On (ticked)* and *View > Column Browser > Use Album Artists > On*.

  • Ipod nano 4G same albums duplicated many times in album list

    I have a nano 4G 8GB and have loaded up some music on it, about 50 odd albums so far, whenever I scroll through the album list it keeps showing 4 albums in duplicate, it's as if there are about 10 copies of each album.
    It scrolls through ok then 2 album covers and details appear over and over, then it goes normally, listing albums as it should, then another 2 albums appear over and over, at the moment it is just 4 albums that is doing it.
    It only does this when scrolling through the album list, never does it when in cover flow mode, I have reset the ipod and reinstalled the software on it and it still does it, would removing and installing the affected albums correct this problem ?

    Similar problem here. I just imported a cd of 17 songs. I entered the info for each song by typing the album name of all 17 and then typed the song titles. I synced to my old Nano and no problem but on my new Nano 6th generation, it separated each song individualy, soooo, I cannot search that album and play it, only one song at a time. Frustrating.

  • Why is the same album their 3 times in my library?!

         I have been a customer for itunes for a while now and just recently I had bought eminems recovery album with the gift cards I had gotten for christmas and I had already purchased some of the songs from the album so I got the album and then the album was in my library twice, confused I checked to make sure that all of the info was EXACTLY the same and I have spent a while trying to figure out why they are seprate and its gotten to the point where it has really frustrated me so could someone please  help?

    I have the same situation.  It seems to happen with the first two or three genre's.  Even manually created ones that I've made.  It also seems to be related to having a mixture of song's under that genre that are either uploaded  (from a CD) and downloaded from iTunes.
    I had one artist that all albums were upload from a CD except one.  If I add all the CD albums the genre only appears once.  As soon as I add the album from iTunes the genre appears twice.  And vice-versa.  The particular genre is one that I made, but it happens with predefined iTunes genre's as well.
    Please fix it apple.

  • Album Showing Multiple Times

    When I sort my music by album, I'm having this problem where I see an album more then once. One is the full album and usually the "second" album only has a few songs.
    I had a support call and basically got told to delete the "incorrect" album.
    I think I have now realized that songs in my playlist have created their own "album". When I delete the "incorrect" album it is deleting the song from the playlist(s) that it is in.
    Why is this happening and how do I stop it?
    Thanks!

    this is interesting but you should see if you have multiple copies of the song. Right click on one of the songs from the "second album" and click "show in explorer" and then see if there are actually 2 albums. If this is so, you might just be importing some songs twice. Are the albums that have duplicate items from the iTunes store or not? My guess is no. Also, do you have the option to copy items added to your library to your iTunes folder or no? I would recommend that you do this, it avoids a messy library and might help with this.

  • In the 'Open with' Right click options - why do some apps show several times?

    Notably, Evernote and Pixelmator (both downloaded from the Mac App Store)
    It's hardly the biggest problem I know - but it does look rather messy.
    Anoyone know a way to fix this?
    Thanks in advance!

    I felt a bit wary about downloading a third-party app to do this, so I didn't use that tool. However, you did help me by using the correct terminology which allowed me to find a solution which I could do myself.
    I found the solution here, as provided by Macjack:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19418151#19418151
    Basically, copy and paste the code into Terminal and hit enter.
    Thanks anyway QuickTime Kirk! I've thanked.

  • Same application showing multiple times (multiple versions?) in Open With menu

    Hello, this has been bugging me for a while, and I hope someone has a clue as to why it is this way.
    I know VLC is not Apple software, but my question is not about the player but the Open With menu/window.
    As you can see in the photo, when I choose a file to Open With a series of applications, I get more "versions" of VLC I don't know why only VLC and not the others.
    I have the 2.0.6 version if it can be of any help, and before my latest update I only had 3 in that menu, now I have 4 VLC's so to speak.
    Even before that, before previous updates, I had 2 VLC's in the Open With menu.
    It looks like with every update I get some sort of duplicate, in this menu...I don't know why and why only with VLC.
    I do not have multiple copies of the program, nor multiple versions.
    There is just one and that is the latest version, 'cause older ones get automatically replaced in the Applications folder once the new one is installed.
    Why do I only see 1 VLC in the Applications folder, Launchpad, and anywhere else, but I see multiple ones in the Open With menu?
    Anyone have an idea?
    Should I delete something somewhere maybe leftovers of previous versions or something?
    I don't want a huge list, at some point.
    Thank you!

    You need to rebuild your launch services database.
    Open a terminal window (it's in utilities).
    Copy and paste this line in terminal:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    and hit return.
    Then relaunch Finder (control-option-click the Finder icon in the dock).
