Three different albums with the same name is confusing iPod?

I have three albums which go by the name Greatest Hits. There are three artists on my iPod who both have an album called this. If I am listening to Artist #1 and I switch to Cover Flow, then the album artwork for that album will appear, however the name of Arist #2 or Artist #3 will appear underneath with the song and album title of Artist #1.
Similarly, I searched through the albums to find the Greatest Hits album and it automatically assigned the artwork of Artist #2 to it, but the song by Artist #1 was listed in there along with the songs from Artist #2 and Artist #3.
I hope that all makes sense. I was wondering if this is a bug or simply iTunes/iPod becoming confused and merging the albums together because it thinks it is the same album even though there are different artists.
If this isn't a bug, does anyone know a way I can resolve this issue?
Thanks.

1) Select (in iTunes) one album at a time.
2) Get info on all the songs an make sure the Artist name is the same - and unique from the other two albums.
3) Change as needed.
4) Do the same for all albums.
5) Make sure the artwork is correct for each album.
6) Sync Touch.

Issue with multiple Albums with the same name. (i.e. Greatest Hits)

I have multiple albums all with the same name (i.e. Greatest Hits). iTunes mixes all of the albums as one. All of the track 1s together, all track 2s together .... Is there a way for iTunes to recognize that there is more than 1 album with the same name? and to keep each album seperate.
Thanks

You need to let iTunes know that they are different albums. The trick I use that work fine is to simply add the artist name of which it is the Greatest Hits in the "Album Artist".
That way, iTunes will keep your album together.

Problem with viewing 2 albums with the same name in Cover flow

Hi if I have 2 albums with the same name ("The Best of" for example) but of 2 different artists there's a big problem with all idevices like iPhone...
So when I go in iPod app and I want to watch all albums in cover flow when I choose one of these 2 albums I'll find all the songs of both albums merged...

The MouseListener you use would have to know about both JPanels and both their repaint-methods when mouseClicked-method is called.
Something like this:
public class Repainter extends MouseAdapter {
private JPanel panel1;
private JPanel panel2;
public Repainter( JPanel panel1, JPanel panel2 ) {
this.panel1 = panel1;
this.panel2 = panel2;
public void mouseClicked( MouseEvent me ) {
panel1.repaint();
panel2.repaint();
Tell me if I misunderstood the question or if you have any further qestions.

WPC: unable to add different resources with the same name into a WPC page

Hi,
I got a WPC problem when adding different KM resources with the same name into a WPC page. Only one KM resource is able to be added in WPC.
For example:
There two "article.html" with different content and RID:
1. /company_a/article.html
2. /company_b/article.html
when adding these two html pages into a WPC page, only one page will be shown.
This means that a WPC page is not able to contain resources with same file names. I think the problem might lie on the resource-linking mechanism of WPC. WPC will add a resource link in the page folder, when a new resource is drag&dropped into WPC.
Anyone has some good ideas to solve my problem? Thanks a lot.
Regards

As this is not possible and double entries cause this problem, why not just pu both napes in the contact details on the same number. IE John Smith & Peter Jones all in the first name, by doing this if you search your contacts either by searching for john, peter, smith or jones the number will show up and if either calls the number will show John Smith & Peter Jones, it may not be perfect but will work. As the phone only recognises a number if two seperate entries of the number exist with different names it cannot possibly know who is calling ?

ITunes 12 is making 1 album become several different albums with the same tracks. How do I combine them again?

I had an issue in past versions of iTunes, where I would rip a CD and, for some reason, iTunes would turn it into several different CDs instead of just one, even though everything about the album was the same (as in same artist, same album name, same year, etc). It seems as though that issue has returned and one album with 6 tracks is now 3 albums (1 album has 1 song, another has 2 and the third has 3). Yet, it's all the same album. I re-entered the data for the album name and artist, but it doesn't work like the previous versions. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening (other then bugs) or how to fix it?

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group of identical tracks to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. This can happen, for example, if you start iTunes with a disconnected external drive, then connect it, reimport from your media folder, then restart iTunes.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping, whether you do so by hand or using my script, in case something goes wrong.

Jdcap, two different libraries with the same name?

I am looking for a network packet capturer and I have found two libraries, both called "Jdcap":
1) [http://netresearch.ics.uci.edu/kfujii/jpcap/doc/index.html]
2) [http://jpcap.sourceforge.net/]
What are the differences between them? Why do the have the same name? Their APIs are totally different. Which one should I use?

What are the differences between them? Read the docs for one. Then read the docs for the other. The stuff that's not the same will be the differences.
Why do the have the same name? Probably because that's an obvious name for a Java library that does packet capture.
Which one should I use?The one that best suits your needs, which you can determine by having well-defined requirements, reading the docs for both, and writing some proof-of-concept code with both.

Albums with the same name

I have albums by Boney James and Estelle and they both happened to be named Shine. The songs from Estelles album have synched to my Boney album. Would anyone happen to know how to seperate. I have erased and redownloaded in Artist only mode and the are still together.
Thank you.

Don't you have the tracks properly tagged with the Artist names?
Also make sure the tracks are not tagged as "Part of a Compilation".

If i add two officially released and named albums with the same name, they keep compiling as one album. How to separate the tracks by artist??

I need immediate help. So here's the situation: Okay so I added an RHCP (Red Hot Chili Peppers) album that is named Greatest Hits on my iPod and I also added an The Offspring album also named Greatest Hits to my iPod and both tracks of the albums group as one. Any help please? Please please reply asap thanks in advance

This is a known bug, and you will see it in iTunes if you sort your library by Album name.
The workaround is as Mitch indicated, change one of the album names. However, you can simply append a space at the end of one of the albums so that it "looks" the same as the other, but will be treated differently because of the space.

Can I create a lot of instance with the same name?

I have, for a project in my studies, to create a map for an adventure game. I must create monsters on this map. For this I use a class that I called Creature. In my class Map i have to initialise the monsters but I
choose their quantity with Math.random() so I don't know how much the map will contain. If in a loop I do: Creature monster = new Creature(); will I have different instances with the same name(I doubt)? Will I have one monster re-created in each iteration of the loop? How can I do to have different monsters in different places (my map is a matrix 2x2)?

You would have many Creature references made, but only one variable to hold them, and it would go out of scope outside your loop. You could create a Creature array or use a List (both defined outside your loop) - as
// array
int numCreatures = randomGeneratedCreatureQuantity();
Creature[] monsters = new Creature[numCreatures];
for (int j = 0; j < numCreatures; j++) {
monsters[j] = new Creature();
// Or a list
int numCreatures = randomGeneratedCreatureQuantity();
ArrayList monsters = new ArrayList();
for (int j = 0; j < numCreatures; j++) {
monsters.add(new Creature());
}Good luck

Report servers with the same name ?

We have multiple report clusters on the same subnet.
If clusters have the same name, then how you can view them in the report queue?
TIA

Hi Michael,
Suppose your cluster is cluster1. Now if another organization starts a reports server with the same extension (eg, rep123.cluster1), then that reports server will become part of your cluster.
So the summary is that you cannot have 2 different clusters with the same name in the same subnet. That is why it is necessary that you choose a name that you think should be unique.

2 Users with the same name/shortname on the same machine

Hello,
What will happen if:
There is a local user called Bob and a network user on a server called Bob? Before you even post anything, please let me know if you have actually SEEN this before. I know something will happen, I just don't know what. Again, 2 different users with the same name. YES it is possible to create, but I have not tested it yet. One home is on the local machine and the other is a network home directory. I didn't post this in the server section for this reason...the question is about a client machine running 10.5.4 not server, so it belongs here! Thanks to all who help and my guess is a dialog box pops up with a choice of network or local? Not sure, but it is going to be quite an interesting topic.

Thank you both. It seems I need to test this because it doesn't seem anyone has ever run into this situation. The first thing I need to ask is will it do any damage to the system files if a user logs in with the same resolving name?I know I know the UIDs are different, but maybe have the same shortname? Not sure if it will work. The network users authenticate via LDAP and the server is set to an Open Directory Master. Now as for the client machine:
#1 - If I create both test users (local and network), will I be able to set the network as a Mobile Home Directory even though there is an existing home folder for the local user?
#2 - I want one specific user to have the same login name and password, but a different login "reaction" when the user logs in depending on the location. For example, I have a current network user Bob, password 1234 who is logged in and connected to the server. He finishes working on his project at the office and then goes home for the day. When he gets home, I want his to be able to login with the user name Bob, connecting to the local account on his machine. I DO NOT want to user PHDs, but rather have two separate home folders for the same resolving login user name! I know it is a lot to ask for but, here is my next question...
#3 - If I create two different home folders for the same resolving name, but they are accessed in two different locations, one with a server LDAP authentication and one locally (127.0.0.1), will it work?
I really appreciate the replies, but I am looking for more of straight forward answers rather than an example and background information. Thank you.

HT1473 Often times when I copy a CD into my library it breaks the CD into more than one Album, all with the same name but with only a few of the songs on each. This happens whenever the CD has music with more than one artists...like maybe duets.

Often times when I copy a CD into my library it will break my CD into multiple albums in my library, each with only a few songs.
Usually this is because there might be songs where the artists has other artists in the song.
How can I compile all of the different albums (all with the same name by the way) back into one as was the original disc?

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.

How to apply different keyboard shortcuts to an actions with the same name but in different menus within one application?

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help. I have the application "djay" and in two different menus there is the action "Eject". I was wondering if it's possible to apply different keyboard shortcuts to those actions with the same name? I can't see how to do it as it seems you can only write the action but as there are two it doesn't seem to work for me.
For example:
djay>Table-1>Eject - ⌘⇧1
djay>Table-2>Eject - ⌘⇧0
Thanks in advance for any help!!

A NodeList doesn't only contain 1 element. In your example it contains ALL <Data> elements inside the document.
NodeList nodes = document.getElementsByTagName("Data");
System.out.println(nodes.getLength() + " \"Data\"-elements found");
for(int i=0; i<nodes.getLength(); i++) {
Node node = nodes.item(i);
}

Two AM's with the same name but different forms causes Deployment problems

Two Masters forms, DOC & PM are cloned except for the "where clause" in the View's query and the titles in their JSP's.
DOC workspace has a BC project and a BC4JSP Project. The BC project comprises of the EO and VO named ComVsStaticValue. In the Edit prop-> query for the VO I have specified the "where clause" as VSSV_VS_CODE='DOCTOR'.
In Java Webserver :-
The JSP's are located in C:\source\Doctor\ .. and the *.xml and *.class files generated by the BC proj is in C:\source\Doctor\pol_ValueSet\..
If I execute Doctor in JWS the records are getting filtered properly.
PM workspace has a BC project and a BC4JSP Project. Again The BC project comprises of the EO and VO named ComVsStaticValue. In the Edit prop-> query for the VO I have specified the "where clause" as VSSV_VS_CODE='PAY_MODE'.
In Java Webserver :-
The JSP's are located in C:\source\PMode\ .. and the *.xml and *.class files generated by the BC proj is in C:\source\PMode\pol_ValueSet\..
If I execute PM in JWS, the PM's JSP comes (the title is correct) but the records pertaining to DOC appears. I checked the View's xml file in C:\source\PMode\pol_ValueSet\ the "where clause" is correct. The xml & classes have the same name but their contents are different.
I want to know whether this problem is because both have the same name for the AM and the BC4JSP's property file.
Please clarify.

Deploying two app modules with the same name will definitely cause problems.
The JSPs use the information in the properties file to connect to the application module and get the data they need from the appropriate View Objects in those app modules. If you have two app modules with the same name, when a JSP tries to connect, it has no way of knowing which one of the app modules to connect to if they both have the same name.
You could:
1. Just use one application module that contains all the View Objects you need to access.
or
2. Rename one of the application modules or the package it is located in so the names are distinct. If you choose this method, you will also need to update the JSPs (specifically the 'registerApplicationFrompPopertyFile' method call), and your JSP project's appmodule property file.

HT1473 Sometimes when I copy a CD into iTunes all of the songs do not show y up in one album, but mutiple albums, all with the same name. Is there an easy way to get all of the songs into one album.

Sometimes when I copy a CD into iTunes all of the songs do not show y up in one album, but mutiple albums, all with the same name. Is there an easy way to get all of the songs into one album.

Generally adding a common album artist will fix things.
