Two of the same artists showing up on my ipod when I add 1 specific album

OK so here's what's happening. I downloaded a rolling stones album "Let It Bleed," off the internet. And I made a file for it, put the songs in the file, and put the file in itunes. So I have ALL the songs, album artwork etc in itunes, but the songs were out of order. SO... I looked it up, saw that fixing the track listing on each song when you hit "Get Info" on a specific song, would put the song in the correct space. So I numbered all the songs, 1-9, ON ITUNES! THEN... I TRANSFERRED the album to my ipod, and guess what happened? Well, all the songs showed up correctly, numbered and all, with everything I had intended. But after I transferred the album, it showed under artists, The Rolling Stones, TWO OF THE SAME ONE! TWO ROLLING STOnes with the same songs and albums. And when I deleted one song from one artist, it deleted it from the second artist too..... and before i put the track listings down for each song on the album, it worked! I could transfer the album no problem except that the songs weren't in order. But as soon as i numbered the songs, it double the artist Rolling Stones, ON MY IPOD ONLY! Not on itunes or my computer! So I need ACCURATE AWESOME HELPFUL GLORIOUS SAVING ANSWERS that will help me fix this problem. THANK YOU I REALLY NEED THIS ALBUM PROPERLY ON MY IPOD BY TOMORROW SINCE I'M GOING ON A CAR TRIP

Hello samanthaflora
If you see a cloud option, then you have the option of Show All Music turned on. If you go to Settings > Music and look for that option, you can turn it off to not show any of your purchased history to show up in the Music App. Try that and then sync the music again to see if it still shows up as double. If it is, then could you take a screen shot and add it to the reply so that way we can see what you are describing to better assist you.

I have music files by the same artist but they are listed in itunes in more than one album hod can i add then to just one album pf that artist

I have music files by the same artist but they are listed in Itunes in more than one album hod can i add then to just one album of that artist I am using windows 8.1 .

iTunes will group songs into an album when:
All songs have the same value for the Album and Artist field, or
All songs have the same value for the Album and Album Artist field
All songs have the same value for the Albumfield and the Part of a Compilation flag is checked.
If you want to group all the songs by one artist into a single "album" you can do so by following one of these rules. However, it may be more useful to create Playlists to group music like this and retain the original release information. One Smart Playlist for each artist you're interested in would meet this need without over-writing information about the source albums.

Why two of the same folder?

I'm getting two of the same folders somehow and I don't know how to fix it.
Take a look:

What you are seeing is two of the same folder showing up in LR, but their files within each are different. How can I combine these folders so that they correctly show the architecture of my hard drive as one folder?
Additionally, how do I prevent this in the future?
Thank you,
J

Beat,
I'm doing something wrong and I don't know what it could possibly be as I seem to be following your instructions very closely. Here are your instructions with my questions in Red:
How to consolidate:
"Add Parent Folder" on all the folders to be consolidated, so you end up with as few top level folders as possible So, on both sets of "2010" I right click and hit Add Parent Folder so now they both have "Lightroom" as the parent folder
On all of the top level folders under a "non strategic" drive, choose "Update Folder Location ..."
Navigate to the folder on the network share through the path which you want to use in the future (one of the three described above) After I right click, I only have one option... to navigate in my Mac Finder to where the "Lightroom" (Parent) folder is
Now LR will (rightly so) tell you that the selected folder already exists in LR and asks you whether you want to combine the two folders
After I do all of the above things don't go exactly as planned. Do you know if your method only works for PC's? Does anyone know of a Mac solution that will work without disturbing the metdata and image changes?

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!!!

Songs are showing up and playing fine in iTunes yet will not sync to my iPad it is a selection of songs by the same artist, all gone?

Try Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist

HT3455 I got two receipts from the same tv show I bought. How's that even possible? I clicked the 'buy season ' button the first time and there was an error so I clicked it again, and now, I apparently paid for it twice! Apple is such a rip-off!

Wow.
Over react much?
Check your purchase history. See if it actually charged you twice.
If it did then contact itunes support for a refund.
No need be so over dramatic.

I-Pod shows the same artist 10 times or over and over

I Pod classic shows the same artist over and over

There are many reasons this could happen, but I'll list a few possibilities:
1) You have your iPod on manually manage, and you've dragged the same songs many times onto the iPod.
2) You have many duplicates of the songs in iTunes and it's syncing everything to the iPod.
3) There's something wrong with the iPod and you should restore it in iTunes and set it back up fresh and load the songs you want back onto it. Keep in mind that restoring the iPod will lose things that are on it, so make sure you have your songs in iTunes before doing this.

Why does iTunes display the same album art for different songs, but from the same artist?

Hi,
a couple of days ago I decided I wanted all of my songs to have an album art. Before I didn't actually care, but since I discovered the view mode with the album arts at the top (the fourth one) I began searching for the right arts, since I like it this way.
I've stumbled upon a problem though. When I add two or more songs from the same artist, iTunes chooses to assign the same album art to the songs. It chooses the album art of the song I added first to my music library. How do I get it to show the proper album art?
I use a program called 'Mp3Tag' to change all the information of my songs. When it's just a single, I end up having an 'artist', 'title', 'genre' and 'cover'. The rest of the information doesn't bother me. With albums I add more information though.
Here's an example:
I added two songs, one being 'Usher - Climax (Kaskade Remix)' and the other one being 'Usher - Scream'. The one added first was 'Scream'. As you can see below, iTunes somehow assigns the same album art to both songs, while clicking on 'get info' clearly shows the songs have different album arts.
I discovered something else though:
When adding an 'album name' to the songs, they will show properly, as seen below. The thing is though, I don't want to add an album name. When I sync the songs to my iPod, my 'albums' list will show all of the songs as well, which I don't want.
Is there any way to solve this another way where iTunes won't sort by album, but by song title?
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone please answer my question?

Duplicate pages for the same artist

Hi, In the Indian Classical instrumental music there are two artists with duplicate pages due to slight variation in name or spelling. These are Hariprasad Chaurasia, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia Pandit is a title. These should be combined so all albums show up together. Shivkumar Sharma, Shiv Kumar Sharma Here the first name has been split. These should be combined so all albums show up together. Thanks for an awesome music service with great features! regardsDushyant

For some iPods, they just can't seem to reconcile the different file formats, and you end up with duplicate entries of the same artists. That has been my problem and have had to learn to live with it.
I've not had that problem.
The usual reason why an artist appears several times is because of spelling differences, capitalistion, or guest artists.
For example, "Dire Straits" and "Dire straits" may appear together in your iTunes Library, but become separate entries on the iPod. "The Clash" is different to "Clash, The".
If one track on an album is listed differently to the rest, say as "The Clash featuring a guest artist", then this too would be listed separately to "The Clash". The usual fix for this is to add the featured artist to the track name and remove it from the artist's name.
The hardest one to spot is stray spaces after a band name . You can see the one I deliberately put in at the end of that last sentence, but it's not so easy in the Artist field, where full stops (period) are not used.
An easy tip is to copy the artist name from one track, and paste it into all the others by that artist. Then Sync the iPod with your Library for these changes to take effect on the iPod.

I have duplicate email accounts icons, NOT recieving duplicate emails just two of the same email icons

I had a blackberry curve 8310 with ATT. I transferred carriers and got a new bold 9650 with sprint. I transferred data from old curve to new bold. But the old email didn't work on new bold. So I went to set up BIS with sprint, it added email account that works. But now I have two icons with the same email address. One works and one doesn't so it is confusing when I am selecting address to compose email. How do I delete email icon/account. I hid the icons but when composing email, it still shows two of the same email in the From:

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you!

How do I display multiple seasons of the same TV Show?

I have two seasons of the same TV Show which displayed fine, including artwork. But when I purchased the latest season of Stargate Atlantis (Season 4) it displayed the new episodes in the same grouping as Season 3. Additionally, it replaced the Season 3 artwork with Season 4. How do I replace the Season 3 episodes with the correct artwork? How do I display the Seasons separately, but sequentially, the same way Music albums are grouped and displayed?

How do I get iTunes to play all the songs and albums from the same artist?

Before the update, you used to be able to play all the songs from the same artist across all albums (ie: you have 2 albums from the same artist, you start one, it would play through both in order). Why did this change, and is there some way to get it to work?

Have you read the link that roaminggnome posted ? What you can redownload will depend upon what country that you are in (music, films, TV shows can't be redownloaded in all ; audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), whether the item is still in your country's store (content providers occasionally remove them), and whether you've moved countries since buying/downloading them.

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...

Ipod duplicates albums. All the same artist, same everything. How can I fix this?

Ipod duplicates albums. All the same artist, same everything. How can I fix this?
All the details are the same. In my itunes library it shows as ONE whole album. When I import it to my ipod classic 160 gb it duplicates it about 4 times; it's quite irritating. It does that for 2 albums in particular and I have no idea why. Please help! Thank you.

Hi alondres,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Use the information in the following article to review the information in the iTunes database for the artist / albums you are having issues with. Make sure the information you want is exactly the same in the artist and album fields.

Editing Info
Each audio or video file in iTunes has several settings and tags that can be easily modified. These options can be accessed by selecting any file in the iTunes browser windows and selecting "Get Info" from the File menu. You can add song lyrics, artwork and set special playback options. The "Info" tab lets you edit information about the file including artist and album info.
Once you have updated the information, close the iTunes application on the computer. Then reopen and resync to your iPod.
Cheers,

How does one add compilation CD's already mixed by the same artist. I want to put them in their OWN spot under the artist and I want to NAME the album. Is it possible? Or am I just out of luck. I've tried everything.

I want to find out how to add my mixed CD's under the folder of the artist. I want to save them on my computer in itunes. I want to NAME the album, but so far I haven't been able to do that. I named ONE and then ALL the rest of the CD's I am trying to save are put in the same place. Very frustrating.
These are mixed Christmas songs done by the same artist, and some are the same songs. But the albums are separate. Why can't I give an album I am exporting a name?

Indeed, 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.
Don't try to use sort fields to merge different things together as it quickly goes wrong. These should be used consistently to make all things with one value sort as if they had a different one, e.g. Bowie, David to make David Bowie sort under B.
