What do I do when I have multiple copies of the same album?

My friend lent me her Viva La Vida album, by Coldplay, for me to put onto my iTunes.
The thing is, on her iTunes, the album appears only once, but on her iPod, it appears five times. When I put this CD onto my computer, the exact same thing happened. On iTunes, I only have one copy of Viva La Vida, but on my iPod, I have five. How can I change this so that I only have the one?

According to you, ColdPlay (or any artist) needs to only sell one CD and everyone in the world is free to copy it because that single CD was paid for. Not a really good way to make a living, eh?
That is not at all what I said; you are so missing my point. My point is that the one cd that I borrowed isn't going to change Coldplay's entire earnings, that is just a radically exaggerated analogy.
So when you finally get a job, work one day a month for no pay.
Er, **** off. You know nothing about me. I said I was 15, I didn't say I didn't have a job: I do. And if I worked a day for no pay, it's a little different to me not paying the life-changing £3.95. If you think that Coldplay are in desperate need of higher album sales, buy a few of them, listen to them, and calm the **** down.
So it's okay to steal from people with lots of money, simply because they have lots of money?
It's not stealing. Music is meant for everyone, it doesn't all have to have a price.
No. It is simply theft.
How about the person down the street who doesn't have a computer? According to your thought, it is entirely acceptable for him to to take you computer. After all, he doesn't have enough money to purchase one himself and you/parents do.
theft
   [theft] Show IPA
noun
1.
the act of stealing; the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods or property of another; larceny.
Theft is a crime that is punishable. I did not steal anything. The cd was no one elses property in the terms that you talk of. I borrowed the cd from my friend and gave it back, so I didn't steal it from her. So who did I steal it from then?

  • Why do I have multiple copies of the same song?

    When I open my iTunes on my iPad I have multiple copies of the same song.  It seems that when I connect and sync to my computer that it does not recognize that the song is already on my iPad, so it sends another copy.  When I try to delete the second copy from my iPad by swiping to the left and hitting delete, it doesn't delete and I see the cloud icon like it wants to down load if from the cloud automatically again.  How can I clean this mess up?

    Hi R_3S,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your Music application is showing your previously purchases music, with the cloud icon, on your iPad as well as what is synced onto it. Please follow the instructions in the following article to turn off Show All Music.
    iTunes Match - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
    Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
    Have a great day,

  • ITunes 11... I have multiple artists with the same album name... how do i have them show up as separate albums?

    I have itunes 11 with iTunes Match on 2 Macs and 2 ios devices... I know it all has bugs... but I have been ok.
    I am wondering how to show my library in the column browser view when I have multiple albums with the same names? I have noticed on my ipod in my car that an album titled "Christmas" plays and includes 2 different albums titled christmas... and in itunes it lists them both when not in the artwork view... (I primarily use the column browser to navigate my library.
    Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this/knows how to fix.
    Thanks!

    Various workarounds I can think of which basically involve playing around with tags.  See which meets your needs or come up with others:
    Give the albums slightly different names.  For example, "Greatest Hits" [ABBA]"
    Do the same but do it in the sort album field.
    Add a bogus disc number to different albums.  It may string them together still but at least they will be slightly grouped.

  • In I-Tunes, how can I consolidate multiple copies of the same album with different tracks into one file in my library screen?

    In Windows 7 , I tunes library/ albums, I have many albums ( all the same) with different tracks in each.
    Is it possible to consolidate the multiple cover photos into one ?

    Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things, if not see Grouping tracks into albums.

  • I recently updated to ios and moved from Mobile Me to icloud.  Now I have multiple copies of the same contacts on my phone.  How do I get them back down to one per person!

    I recently updated to Ios 5 and moved from MobileMe to the icloud.  Now I have duplicate contacts on my phone - like 8 of each person!  How do I get rid of them?  My calendar is finally in sync....

    I turned off syncing from Itunes and said yes to deleting them from the phone and now I only have one contact per person.
    It only took a few hours to get past the fear of delete
    hope this helps

  • HT1311 can you see which device bought something on iTunes where you have multiple devices on the same iTunes account?

    is there any way to find out which device dowloaded apps when you have multiple devices using the same itunes account? 

    The purchase information does not include the device used, but does include the Apple ID used for the purchase.
    Apps downloaded on one device with the same Apple ID can be downloaded on another device with that Apple ID.

  • ITunes Match and multiple copies of the same song

    I have multiple copies of the same song in my iTunes collection.  For example, the song is on the original album, the "Best Of" album and on the "25th Anniversary" album.
    Do we know how iTunes Match handle such situations?

  • What is the best way to have multiple devices on the same account so we can still share the same library.  Right now I have 7 and I believe it's causing them to malfunction.

    I have multiple devices on the same itunes library and they all starting to have the same issues.  Not recognizing numbers previously stored, not sending/receiving tests.  Do I need to get everyone separate itunes accounts? 

    What is the best way to set up itunes on our home network? 
    One iTunes library per person.  One iTunes account per person.
    If people wish to share songs, they can make copies.
    When the inevitable day comes when the kids get older, you will not have to come back here and post asking how all that stuff can get separated!

  • I have multiple libraries on the SAME computer.

    I have multiple libraries on the SAME computer. How can I share these libraries? I do not see the SHARED tab when i open iTunes. Where is this tab?

    home sharing works between two or more computers on the same LAN.
    if you're talking about libraries on multiple user accounts on the same computer, peruse how to share music between different accounts on a single computer.
    if you mean you're working with multiple libraries on the same user account, check out PowerTunes or iTunes Library Manager.

  • HT1766 can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

    Hi sandexpress,
    As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
    With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
    If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

    You can't use the same certificate more than once.

  • How do I have multiple accounts on the same computer

    how do I have multiple accounts on the same computer? The idea of ", hold down the option (on a Mac)/ shift (on a PC) key each time you start iTunes" does not seem to work for me. Thanks.

    Create multiple Windows User Profile with each managing his own iTunes account and library.
    To create a user account on Windows 7:
    To open User Accounts, click the Start button , click Control Panel, under 'User Accounts and Family Safety', select Add or Remove User Accounts.
    Click Create a new account.
    Type the name you want to give the user account, click an account type(make sure to give Administrator), and then click Create Account.

  • Can you have multiple databases on the same LUN in Exchange 2010?

    I'm sure you can but is it possible with exchange 2010 to have multiple databases on the same LUN.  We currently have 8 DB's all writing to their own DB drive and separate log drive so 16 drives in total.  I need to spin a new DB up this week and
    wanted to double check this is possible.  I've looked online and cant find anything that I've seen before that says this is possible.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Yes, multiple databases could be placed on the same LUN, but it's not recommended.
    If you have 2 drives fail at the same time (it happens more than you think), then losing 100% of your DBs is a lot worse than losing one of them or some of them depending on where the failures are.
    Here is a similar thread for your reference:

    Hope this helps!

  • TS2972 I have multiple libraries on the "same computer" with two different desktops, can't I share between two libraries on the same computer?

    I'm trying to use home sharing to share content between libraries so some of the combined content in a given library, can be synced to an ipad.   Instad of having mulitple computers, i have multiple libraries on the same computer using two desktops.  How do I share within the same computer?

    iTunes must be running for home sharing to work.  There is no way to have home sharing running simultaniously for two users on the same computer.
    Simply add the media files using File > Add File/Folder option in iTunes.

    How can I print multiple copies of the same photo onto one sheet of paper?  Do I have to Duplicate the photo in iPhoto and then select them all?

    no - you simply have to select the option to print mucliples of a photo on a page
    select the photo and go to the file menu ==> print - select the printer, paper size and print size and click customize - in the tool bar click on the settings icon (the gear looking thingy) and select "multiple of the same photo per page" and the preview will reflect this option showing a full page of the selected size photos
