Why Do I have Two Identical folders in my music Library?

Hi.
I have a music folder with 1200 songs.
I created a single compilation on itunes (ver.11) and everything was ok until i decided to put that compilation folder to my iPhone 5.
Now I have 2 folders of the same compilation on my iphone music app. The songs was not splitted in the 2 folders: every folder has the same number of tracks (1200 songs).
Itunes copied the music on my iPhone but it didn't copied the files twice, cuz i have checked the amount of space on my iPhone.
I think it depends on how many songs are in the same folder.
someone can tell me the max number of song on the same folder?
I tried to split the folder in 2 with 600 song but i got the same prob: 1 folder was ok, the other folder with ALL music track from the 2 different folders! (I name the folders (Best Of 01, and Best Of 02).
Any ideas?
Someone know how to fix this? I just want 1 folder and not 2 identical folders!
(sorry for my bad english: i dunno if I write everything in a proper way)

It may be "normal" but it is not acceptable. 
Lets say I have four folders that I sync from my PC to my iPhone.  iTunes then creates four folders on my iPhone with the actual photos and presumbaly the same folder names that are on my PC.  Then iTunes creats another folder with pointers to all the photos, well the synced photos, not the camera roll. (Why not the camera roll too if this is such a great feature)  Yes I am so dumb that I can't figure out which folder has the picture I want (even though my folder names are descriptive of the contents; Family, Friends, Work, Hot Dude's) so I go to this catch all folder to find my picture.
All it is is CLUTTER, this, like so many other bugs (poor features), should be left to the user to decide, not Apple. I don't want it there and I defenitely don't need it there.

  • On shared home network computer, why do I have TWO home folders?

    When I connect to my G5 (from my Intel iMac) on my wireless network the first window that comes up contains folders for the G5, public folders for each one in the family, and my home folder (accessible) on the G5 (which contains folders for my Desktop, Documents, etc.),
    When I click on the G5 folder and go to Users, I see what I'm assuming is a duplicate of my home folder, but it has a red circle with a minus sign and I am unable to access it (even when tI try to change permissions via the Get Info window).
    My question is why do I have duplicate home folders and should my accessible home folder be INSIDE the Users folder? What do I do about the home folder whose permissions I can't seem to alter?

    Don't know, but you might get an answer posting to the Getting Online and Networking forum.

  • Why do I have two album options in my music on my iphone but no artist option?

    After upgrading my iphone 4 to the new software, I no longer have an artist option in my music. I currently have two album options instead. The first album option is fully functioning. The second album option, where I think the the artist option belongs, is stuck on a single artist eventhough I deleted all those songs. Please help because this is making listening to music a hastle and its extremely time consuming to play a single artist.

  • One person, one iPhone, one laptop. Two homes in two states, two external drives, two identical copies of my music library.  Many headaches.

    I feel like this question is asked endlessly on these boards, but somehow I still can't find a relevant answer... So, apologies for rehashing a variant of the same question!
    I have one (ancient) MacBook Pro, and one (ancient) iPhone.  I carry both back and forth between two states: the state where I work and the state where I live the rest of the time.  My ancient MBP and my ancient iPhone are too small to carry my whole music collection (which is quite large—larger than a new phone or laptop would reasonably support, anyway).   My mobile apps and my podcasts live on my laptop, but my music library lives on an external drive.  I have two external drives now, one in each state where I live/work.  I also have a copy of everything on my desktop machine at work, but I've given up long ago trying to sync to multiple computers.  I'll settle for now for syncing to one computer (my MBP), which sometimes is connected to one copy of my library, and sometimes is connected to another copy of my library. 
    I know that I can make multiple iTunes libraries, with duplicate copies of my podcast subscriptions, my apps, and my playlists and music, and keep switching which one my phone is set to sync to (wiping it each time, and possibly losing some settings in the process?)   But that's a pain in the neck.  Plus, it's hard to keep my podcasts active in both libraries, because iTunes podcast subscriptions are like frail little tamagotchi critters that need constant love, nurturing, and encouragement, or else they wither and die. 
    Is there any way to have a single library, with my apps and podcasts on the laptop, which just happens to make use of the "local" copies of my music on whichever external drive happens to be attached?
    Or do I need the google cloud + android if I want to unify my listening and syncing life?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    There are several reasons which may cause the backup to be full instead of incremental, such as source volume snapshot is deleted, from which the last backup was taken.

  • Why do i have two identical internal hard rive in my MAC? It makes my laptop very slow

    My Mac book Pro is very slow since a few weeks. I decided to investigate. When i look in Disk Utility, i see two internal hard drive! The first one is almost full (18 Mo free on 800 Go). The second one is half full (this one is the one i see when i click on About this Mac, 400 Go free on 800 Go). I guess the first one is the one that make my computer so slow. Does anybody knows how this can happen ? What can i do for it ? It seems like the second one is a part of the first one.
    Thanks !

    OS X 10.10 Yosemite
    If you see 2 Macintosh HDs   when you check  Disk Utility, that is normal on OS X 10.10.Yosemite.
    It is the Core Storage and Volume Manager technology in action.
    There is no Knowledge Base Article from Apple  about this yet.

  • I notice that in the new update to Firefox if I have two bookmark folders with the same name Firefox will end up deleting one of them.

    Both of these problems with the bookmarks started occurring after I installed the latest update to Firefox.
    I frequently have bookmark folders of the same name under the older version of Firefox and it has never been a problem before. It is now, and I notice that after I've created two folders with the same name Firefox will end up deleting one of the folders, almost always the older of the two folders (the one created first, chronologically).
    I have also noticed that with the new update Firefox will occasionally fail to open all bookmarks in Tabs if I've asked it to do so. I can simply close Firefox and reopen the program and it will work again, but I don't know why this bug is occuring in the first place.

    You are using two IP address ranges.. which results in the printer being cut off from the other network..
    Why do you have two networks?? It is always better in home situations to run one network.
    If you have work setup with an enterprise level router you can setup routes between the two networks.. this is not possible on domestic level apple routers.

  • I have two identical Mail accounts. How can I delete one without losing all the mail in both accounts?

    I have two identical Mail accounts.  Don't know how that happened -- the second one just showed up one day. If I try to delete one account, I get a warning that all mail in the accounts will be permanently lost.  How can I delete one of the duplicate accounts without losing messages in both accounts?

  • I seem to have two home folders?

    I don't know how this happened (perhaps when I upgraded to Tiger?), but I seem to have two home folders.
    The “real” one has the “house” icon and is in the proper place: Macintosh Hard Drive > Users > tim (my username). The duplicate does not have the house icon and is at the root level of my HD.
    Both folders have mostly the same contents: ViaVoice, Sites, Public, Pictures, Music, Movies, Desktop, Documents, Library. The differences are that the “real” home folder (the one with the house icon) has icons on all of the subfolders too, while the “fake” one has blank subfolders. The real folder has the actual contents of my desktop in its desktop folder while the fake one does not. The “fake” home folder, however, has a crossed out pencil icon at the top of the window (meaning the folder is unchangeable?).
    Is it safe to delete the “fake” home folder and how do I do so?
    Thanks.

    It should be perfectly safe to trash the "fake", as it cannot possibly be being used, after checking (you've already done it, I'm sure) that it contains nothing you want.
    Have a Finder window open so that you can see the "fake". Launch Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
    rm -R
    Type a <space> after the R
    Drag the "fake" folder into the Terminal window. The folder will not move, but the line in Terminal will now be completed with the path to the "fake". Hit <return>.
    If the "fake" has gone that's it. If there is an error message in Terminal then do exactly the same, but using:
    sudo rm -R
    …<space>, drag folder. After hitting <return> you will get a "password:" prompt. Type carefully (it will not show on screen), hit <return> again. Poof!

    Thunderbird does not use a Spam folder. If your email provider does you may need to subscribe to it if you have an IMAP account.
    Go to File-Subscribe and see what you see there.

    Why do I have two icons for iMovie '11 after downloading the update from the App Store?  Previously I had iMovie '09.

    Do you see two versions of iMovie in your Application folder?
    You can drag the icons out of the dock and then drag what you want back to the dock from the Application folder.

  • TS3276 Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

    Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

    Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only  the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
    ...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
    Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

  • Why do I have two calendars in Calendar in Mountain Lion?

    I need your help. I have two calendars linked to my iCloud account to the same email address. I tried to delete each one separately, but each time got a pop up dialogue box that I need at least one account associated with iCloud so both seem to be the "main" calendar for my iCloud account. I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and do not recall whether this problem existed before or after Mountain Lion, or before or after my switch from MobileMe to iCloud. Any ideas? I would appreciate any insight you might have. Thanks.

    If you have Time Capsule, you may find you have two identical back up drives one which you can eliminate and one which you can use.  I eliminated the one which allowed me to and selected the other (after rebooting Time Capsule) then reconnected to the one which would let me use it.  I then shut down ( rather than restart) and was able to back up again.  When I checked my Systen Preference under Time Machine and looked at the backup disks the duplicate was back.  A call to Apple second level support and I was told this was a known Mountain Line issue ( but nothing about when it would be fixed.  Oh, I also have duplicate Calendar entries.  Call for a workaround if you can't live with it until they fix Mountain Lion.
