Why do duplicate albums appear on my iPod Classic screen when there are no duplicates in my iTunes Library?

Why do duplicate albums appear on my i{Pod Classic screen when there are no duplicates in my iTunes Library?

It's probably going to be a capitalisation error. In other words, one or more tracks on the album has a lower case letter at the beginning of the album name while all the others have a capital letter. They can be difficult to spot.
In iTunes, examine one of your duplicated albums carefully. You should be looking for a slight difference between the album title name. Look at the screenshot below, can you see the error in the album title?
It is there...
The title track (Left Of The Middle). Look at the capitalisation of the album name.
Once you find you error in your album, re-type it (or copy-and-paste from one track to all the tracks) and then SYnc your iPod to iTunes. Does that cure it? If nto, let us know.

  • Has anyone had an additional black screen tab appear within the apps sync screen when there are no apps on the tab?

    Hi all,
    The description of the question that I have put as the title is probably as clear as mud! LOL
    So i have attached a picture so that you can hopefully see what i am trying to explain!
    When I sysnc'd my iphone I suddenly has a "spare" black apps tab appear within iTunes but on the actual phone i only have the top tab appearing!?
    Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
    This is also doing the exact same thing on my work iphone!?

    Do you have iTunes installed on your laptop, and if so has the iPad been connected/synced to it ? If you don't have iTunes installed on it then you can download and install it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If the iPad hasn't been connected/synced to iTunes on that laptop then you may also find this page useful for syncing to it for the first time : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    If you are using a PC then you should be able to copy photos off the iPad via the windows camera wizard, if you are using a Mac then iPhoto, Aperture and Image Capture can be used
    Copying photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    In terms of copying your documents so that you have a copy of them outside of the iPad backup (just in case the backup gets corrupted and can't be restored back to the iPad), then it depends upon what the apps that the documents are in support - some use the file sharing section on the device's Apps tab on your computer's iTunes, some allow transfer to/from a computer via your wifi network, in some you can email them, use Dropbox etc.
    When connected to your computer's iTunes you can also do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy the apps and any music, tv shows etc that you've downloaded from iTunes over to your computer - they are not included in the actual (just the apps content and settings), so for the restore to be able to work they will need to be on your computer's iTunes library so that they can be copied back

  • Why my songs wont appear in my ipod classic after dragging them in from my macbook?

    I have a very old ipod classic. After i connect it to my macbook (bought in april 2013), it detects. iTunes detects too. I dragged some songs and dropped into my ipod but after that it did not appear in the ipod. Kindly advise.

    Hi donniecgr,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you are trying to manually manage the content on your iPod. I would suggest reading over the attached article to confirm all of your sync settings and steps are correct.
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
    Manually add or remove content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    After following the steps above, you can add individual songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your device. To add content to your device:
    Select your device.
    Click "On this Device."
    Then choose "Add to" in the upper right corner.
    While viewing the media in your iTunes library, if you drag a song, video, TV show, or Movie a sidebar will appear on the right. You can drag content onto the device. You can also create and modify playlists directly on the device.
    You must import songs into iTunes before you can add them to your device. You can drag media files onto the iPod or iPad in iTunes to add them to the device without adding them to the iTunes library.
    When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • I have an iPod Classic and when I try to move songs from my library to my iPod, my iTunes freezes. When I tried to eject my iPod, nothing happened and I had to force quit iTunes. When I unplugged my iPod, all of my songs had been deleted. What can I do?

    After attempting to move songs from my iTunes library to my iPod Classic, the pinwheel kept spinning and iTunes froze. I tried pressing CTRL E to eject the iPod, but nothing happened. I unplugged the iPod then force quit iTunes, but when I checked my iPod all of the songs had been deleted. I tried plugging the iPod back in and slowly moved music over again, but iTunes still froze. I don't want to restore it to factory settings because I am afraid of losing the pictures I have on there and can't figure out how to get them off.

    Are you using a Macbook?
    If all your songs on the iPod are deleted, most likely the photios are gone too.
    Unless you put the photos, via Diskmode.
    To recover the photos that you've put in Diskmode, use Finder to locate where it is in the iPod.
    Try also if iPhoto can locate those photos.

  • IPod Classic 160 GB refuses to sync a 70 GB iTunes library

    Title says it all: my iTunes library is well below the maximum capacity of my iPod, but I still get a message that the library is too big to fit on the Classic's disc.
    I am not getting negative error messages (as stated by others here on the discussion board), there are no corrupt files and I checked the discs. I also deselected syncing of my movies, series, podcasts and photos (although there should be enough room to sync those, too: they amount to about another 70 GB). I also restaured the iPod with only music syncing left, with no success.
    Funny thing is, iTunes always reports that there needs to be about 48,8 GB free but that there are only 48,2 GB available (this was before I deselected photo syncing). When I deselected photo syncing (about 3 GB), those two numbers didn't change in any significant way, as far as I can tell.
    Anyone got an idea what's going on here?
    Message was edited by: Charel

    Thank your for your suggestion, but I think now it is related to my putting the smart playlists into a folder of their own (to reduce clutter).
    As soon as I select those to sync, I get the error message.
    This seems bizarre to me, because, as I understand it, smart playlists should increase iPods content only by a few hundred bytes at most, but somehow removing them from their default location may trigger an additional copy of all the songs included to be transferred to the iPod.

  • The album artwork on my iPod Classic is all mixed up. Wrong artwork on each song..

    Why does the album artwork on my iPod Classic get all mixed up wheres it is correct in the library. Please help

    Hello Derick,
    This usually happens as the result of a corrupt iPod artwork cache.  The only way to correct this is to restore your iPod to factory settings via iTunes.  Doing so will rebuild your iPod's artwork cache.  Not exactly sure as to how or why the corruption happened to begin with.

  • White lines on ipod classic screen, could it be cracked screen? it has never been dropped or anything. Is it pretty common problem. Contacted apple support, denies problem exist.

    White lines three appeared on my ipod classic screen. It has never been dropped or screen scratched. Suddenly white lines appeared on the screen. Tried to reset settings, nothing changed. Is this a common issue with ipod classic coz apple adviser denying ever having heard of this problem and I have to pay half of msrp to fix it. Offered 10% off to purchase new ipod and turn in old one. What a waste. Apple should take responsibility if this problem is indeed inherent with this product.

    The magnets are tnot the cause.
    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem.
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPad: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore tofactory defaults/new iPad
    If still problem then time for an appointment at teh Genius Bar of an Apple store. The drops may have damaged it or there could be another cause.

  • Why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

    why is the music list for my ipod classic grayed out in itunes?

    I have a similar problem.  Originally, my iTunes advanced setting was set such that a shortcut to the song was copied into my music library so sometimes copying songs to my iPod resulted in them being grayed out.  I changed that setting some time ago and haven't had the problem until recently.
    I don't know what to do.  here's the situation:
         1.  I have a song that is stored on my file system within My Documents. (it was purchased via Amazon)
         2.  Through iTunes I choose the File | Import file to library (or some text like that)
         3.  I navigate to the location of the song
         4.  I import it.
         5.  I can play the tune from the music library or from an internal PC playlist.
         6.  I then attempt to copy the song to my iPod.  When I do, it appears in the iPod's playlist grayed out.
    I have done those steps countless times for dozens of songs without a problem.  Even others that I've purchased through Amazon.  What is so different this time?  I should mention that this problem NEVER happens if I buy the song through the iTunes store.  Only if I buy it from another source (e.g. Amazon).  WHY ???

  • Why do duplicates occur in iTunes and how to avoid them

    Why do duplicates occur in iTunes. I just moved my Library to a external hard drive to clear up space on my HD. Now I have dups. Sometime 3 of each song, sometimes 6 of each song. All together I ended up with more that 4,000 dups.
    I have spend more time researching how to get rid of dups,( without manually taking them out of my itunes library), that the time it took to just manually remove them. I did download and intall the icorraldupes script, but that only fines the dups. If you delete them from the dup playlist they are still in the Library. A good script for reference, though. So, how do I avoid dups in the future? I just finished cleaning up my Libary of all dups. I figured it must have been something I did and would not want to repeat it again. I would hate to think that this is just some kind of bug or quirk within the iTunes program. If so I would not want to trust my collection of music in iTunes without burning up backups all the time.

    Hopefully some MAC tech expert with iTunes can clear this up for us. After reading past post about this subject, before I posted mine today, I really didn't get a answer. Maybe I missed something? Maybe these dups happen differently in OS operating systems, verses Windows. If I don't get a answer here, I will call Apple and ask them. One way or the other I want to clear this up, because I don't want to open my itunes a few months down the line and find duplicates again.

  • IPod Classic Freezes when fully 'loaded'

    I am not able, to synch more than ~ 23,300 songs to any of my two 160 Gb iPod classics.
    When synching more than 23,300 songs, my iPods are no longer able to play any songs. In the 'About' menu, the iPod shows the wrong number of songs (i.e. 17,300 instead of 24,000) and a huge amount of 'disk space used' is flagged as 'other' (in orange). When clicking on 'Album' or 'Songs', the iPod shows the message 'No songs found'.
    When synching less than 23,300, I am able to resolve this issue by restarting the iPods after synching. However, even when synching less than 23,300 titles, the iPods show the wrong number of songs, right after synching, and the huge amount of 'disk space used' for 'other'. Therefore, I have to restart my iPods every time I synch them.
    So I have talked to every level at Apple's iPod support, and to list all the things they made me do would exceed the size limit of this message board. They even made me send back my original iPod Classic, and I had to wait for almost 1 month to receive my replacement. Here is a summary of my problem, that they (Apple support) have not been able to solve :
    I have a very extensive iTunes collection - over 200,000 songs. All of them were ripped, using iTunes.
    I use the ID tags extensively - i.e. every field is used, and the comments are filled to the maximum allowed characters.
    The same problem occurs when using my old Power Book G4 (OS X 10.4.10), and on my new 2.4 GHz MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5.1).
    I am using an external HD to hold my music files, which is directly connected to my USB2 port on either Laptop.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes and all the firmware and software is up-to-date.
    I have rebuilt my iTunes Library from scratch several times.
    I have no problem, playing any of the songs in iTunes.
    Thank you very much for your help.!

    Perhaps?
    I have the same problem, with my ipod (80gb classic) freezing quite alot), I did some research and the solution is to hold both the menu button and the middle button down together, untill the screen goes black and restarts with the apple logo. It should be fine after this. Spread the word, this was too hard to find out (it's frozen like 4 or 5 times now and I only just discovered this) - http://www.topix.com/forum/gadgets/ipod/TFCD7RF74RF71UUJ5

  • HT3798 Ipod Classic will not sync with windows 8 and newest itunes

    I have ipod classic, 160gb, with new computer with Windows 8 and latest version of Itunes - came from xp and previous version of itunes - and never had a syncing problem. 
    All my songs are in new itunes on new computer, however ipod will not sync.  Have received -50, and duplicate file name - I restored and it will go so far and then freeze.  Or  I get -53.  Have tried lots of suggestions discovered on pages like these... but none have worked.  I do see there is a problem with classic and new itunes - does anyone have any solutions??
    Thanks.....

    Well I finally figured out the problem, not thanks to anyone from Apple for that matter. You would asume this problem has happened before and is still happening. The problem was I couldn't copy certain songs anymore from iTunes to my iPod Classic. When trying to copy certain songs I got an error.
    If you have this problem it means your song file is corrupted. You can simply check this by trying to copy it from your hard drive to an external hard drive. Here you will also get an error message.
    This means you need to replace all the corrupted files by a back up on your hard drive or download it again. I did this and now everything works fine.
    Hope this will solve a lot of problems.
