Some of my songs are listed twice on my iPod itself. However, when I plug the iPod into my computer, the songs don't show up twice in iTunes when I click on device/music. How do I get rid of the duplicate songs on my iPod?

that is odd! that should not be happening.
Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

As long as don't have any metadata attached to the broken files which you would like to preserve...
You could use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to "check for dead tracks on startup"
Or
Robert Jacobson's script itunes_remove_notfound
Or
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You can delete them all with a Ctrl-A to select them and Shift-Delete to remove them.
You can then delete the Lost & Found playlists.
If there are ratings, play counts etc. attached to the broken links, but you've since reimported the files from another location then I have a script called FindTracks that could probably repair the broken links, and another called DeDuper that could dedupe and gather up the stats while preserving playlist membership etc.

How did I get an album cover 17 times when downloading music from itunes to my ipod and how do I get rid of the duplicates?

I am pretty new to an ipod. I finally got itunes on my computer, was able to download from computer to ipod classic, but somehow ended up with 2 album covers showing 17 times for one and 16 times for the other. I really don't have a clue how this happened or how to fix it. The music it self is not duplicated just the album covers.

1) Plug in your iPod.
2) Wait for an 'iPod' button to appear at the top right corner of iTunes.
3) Open that.
4) Go to the 'Music' tab.
5) Sync music.
WARNING: This WILL delete all your music you had on your iPod prior to this.
To add songs without syncing:
1) Create an iTunes playlist with the songs you wish to add.
2) Repeat steps 1 - 3 above.
3) Go to the 'On this iPod' tab.
4) Select your playlist you just made on the bar at the bottom of the list beside the 'Autofill from...' prompt.
5) Press 'Autofill'.

How do I get rid of the duplicate songs without getting rid of the mp3 version of the song?

I have a library of CDs in several years back I downloaded them into my hard drive on another computer into Windows media player. For whatever reason Windows media player continued to duplicate songs and there's a great deal of space being taken up on my hard drive by songs that I want to identify as duplicated and remove while at the same time keeping at least one copy in MP3 format. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

First see this thread on getting Windows Media Player to play nicely with iTunes.
Next use iTunes Folder Watch to add in any disconnected media files that are still in your media folders.
Now use my script DeDuper to remove all but one copy of each duplicated file.

My new icloud acct on my imac is duplicating entries in calendar from my ipad; how do I get rid of the duplicates and how do I get one calendar to be the main one to start with

I've just installed Mavericks on my iMac and now my calendar has duplicate and now sometimes tripled events by syncing with my ipad mini regardless of whether the item already existed in the iMac calendar already. How do I remove the duplicates? It was being able to sync calendars and contacts which was one of my reasons for moving from Snow Leopard to Mavericks and now it's a mess.

Crista70, What is happening is you now have 2 calendars with the entries in them. If you go into View, then Show Calendar List, you will see all your calendars. Uncheck the ones listed as "From My Mac" or uncheck the ones listed as "iCloud" and they will no longer show as duplicates. Personally, I prefer unchecking the "From My Mac" calendars so that my calendars are all synced across the devices.

I am trying to manually Delete songs from my Ipad2, but when I delete it shows a Cloud with a Red Arrow pointing down, and the Song remains, how do I get rid of the Song Completely?.

I am Manually Deleting Songs from my Ipad2, but when I press Delete, it shows a Cloud with a Red Arrow pointing down, and the Song remains, how do I get rid of the Song completely?.

The cloud icon means that the songs are only in the cloud, they aren't stored on your iPad. You can turn off the showing of songs that are in the cloud via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under the 'show all' heading) 'off'. If you want to some cloud songs to show but not all then you can hide the ones that you don't want via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases

Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

No you should be fine. (The MobileMe service is being shut down, anyway, so there should be no impact at all.)
