Un-purchased duplicates in library

On one of my albums, the songs are duplicated, but the duplicates are un-purchased and have a 'buy' button beside them. I have tried to delete them but they are still in the library
This is a screenshot of my library
Does anyone have any ideas of how to get rid of them?

Such a "Buy!" button can appear besides a song, if you tagged a song while listening to Radio stations on an iPod. When you sync your iPod, the tags will be saved in iTunes and the songs will be shown as ready to buy, see this help text: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12298?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Did you sync an iPod nano with iTunes?

Can I move a purchase from one library to another as long as it's the same account?

Can I move a purchase from one library to another as long as it's the same account?

Yes. Just copy the purchase to the user account/computer and drag it into the iTunes window or use the Add to Library command. If iTunes isn't authorized to the iTunes Store account the purchase was made through, you'll just have to authorize that system.
Regards.

When I try to download the latest version of itunes to my i phone, I get a message saying songs I have purchased on the phone need to be moved from "purchased" to a Library before continuing with the download. How do I do this?

How do I organize a huge (120GB , but alot of duplicates) music library with iTunes?

How do I organize a huge (120GB+, but alot of duplicates) music library with iTunes? Thanks!

If you do not want the duplicate files, maybe the best thing to do first is to eliminate as many duplicates as you can..
You can use iTunes: View/Show Duplicate Items
Or you could use one a script

Duplicate iTunes library entry

Apple support is awful and unhelpful. Do I really have to go to an Apple store (miles away and in areas where parking is expensive) just to find a solution? (Rhetorical question, no need to reply to this.)
I've searched for an solution in support/communities but found nothing for this particular problem.
My iTunes library on MacBook Pro was imported to the MacBook Pro from an older laptop. I still have the older laptop. I do not listen to music on the older laptop and I do not use it for synching devices.
The new laptop now has duplicate music library entries and I can't tell which is the original and which is the duplicate.
Likewise, I've lost a link to a lot of music when I deleted duplicate entries. (Apple, this was a stupid design.) So…anyone got any solutions to help me RID my iTunes library of the duplicates listings WHILE maintaining a link to the original music? And where do I find the index so I can get my deleted files back?
Thanks.

This is what you should have done. You can tell us what you actually did:
If you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to choose a library, then select the copied iTunes folder.
If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

I just downloaded the new itunes update, now I can't copying TV shows purchased from the library to my backup computer, it says the files are invisible. Never had any problem doing it until the update.

IPhoto 11 duplicates iPhoto library when I open it in Finder

The other night was on my wife's iMac and needed to grab a photo from my iPhoto library and upload it to the internet. I tried to open the connection to my Airbook where the photo resides and was prompted to login to connect to the iPhoto library. I used my Apple ID and logged in so I could browse my Airbook for the photo. When I tried to open iPhoto it immediately tried to duplicate the entire iPhoto library to my wife's iMac, which isn't at all what I wanted.
I stopped the duplication and selected the "Disconnect" that shows up in the upper right corner of the screen when viewing my Airbook in her Finder window. All seemed fine.
But now, every time I try to open iPhoto on my Airbook it creates a copy. Just like it did when I was on my wife's computer.
So I think this is a sharing issue, the iPhoto can't handle one user logging in from multiple computers so it's trying to duplicate the library. My question is: How do I make it stop? Anytime I try to upload a photo to a website by browsing to my iPhoto library, it generates another copy. I've disconnected from browsing for my Airbook from her computer. What more do I need to do to make iPhoto know that only one computer is modifying the library?
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Thanks for your reply, Terence. Please note that this isn't exactly two users, it's one user Apple ID from two separate Mac computers.
I know the library is duplicating because a small rectangular window opens up that says "Duplicating iPhoto Library" with an x next to it that I can click on to stop the duplication. Also, I've had up to 4 copies of the iPhoto library entitled iPhoto Libary copy, iPhoto Library Copy 2, etc.
It filled my hard drive and I couldn't open iPhoto because there was "not enough space to copy iPhoto Library."
I've tried to use File, Open to open the library, tried to use Command O to open it, and tried to click on it to open it. All attempts to open it through Finder or browse to it through an upload window result it it duplicating the entire library.
I never got a message that the Library was locked.

HT1848 recently, when syncing my iPhone I transferred iPhone purchases to my library. Apparently I hit the wrong button and wiped out my old iTunes library on my PC. How do I get it back?

recently, when syncing my iPhone I transferred iPhone purchases to my library. Apparently I hit the wrong button and wiped out my old iTunes library on my PC. How do I get it back?

I cant find any of my recently bought songs or the apps i have purchased. When I was updating my ipod there was a button that asked about transfering purchases and I didnt read it, and I didnt update manually so i think thats why i lost everything. I clicked on the intrustions and clicked on apps and i coulnt find any of my old stuff.

TS4062 Drag and drop of purchase wiped out Library

I've purchased a few times in the past from iTunes, but this time for some reason the purchase showed up under the iTunes Store. I guess I was set up differently somehow. I was casting around for a way to get my purchase into the library, and I hit on "drag and drop", but it apparently overwrote my entire Library, since I only see the purchase there now. Maybe it's still there somehow, but it doesn't look like it.
I'll take any help I can get. I still have the Library contents on my iPod, but I don't see much on how to recover from there.

Weird, I've a feeling my post above was intended to address a differnt problem so I'm not quite sure why it ended up here. (The forums have been acting up though.)
Typically the damage is only to the library file and as long as the media is still where it ought to be it is quite easy to fix. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash for details. If the media has actually been removed see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I can not find tv shows previously purchased in my library how do i get them back?

i have repeatedly done that. I get an error of "The disk can not be read from or written to". This has now happened on all TV downloads in the last two months. When i play on my IMac, they play fine. The same on my Apple TV.

TS2776 Iphone not sinking new purchases from Muscic Library on pc?

Suggestion needed. My Iphone 3GS is not sinking my new purchases from Music Library on Vista Windows pc?

iTunes still works with ALL iPods, back the original iPod.
The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar. From the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Does your iPod appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
If it does, select it there. Over to the right, there is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there. This screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync your iPod with songs from the iTunes library. You need to set it up, so that the songs you want on the iPod are included in your selection. If your entire iTunes Music library will fit on the iPod, you can choose the option for Entire music library. Otherwise, choose Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
NOTE: If the iPod already has songs on it, its current content will be replaced by your selection on the Music tab, when you click Apply.

If you have specific questions (or if your iPod does not appear in iTunes), please post back.
