Why does my music duplicate
I've spent way too much time deleting duplicate songs, why does this seem to happen after time?
There is probably something wrong with your workflow when you add content to the library.
Repeatedly importing the same set of folders that are outside the iTunes Media folder with the option to Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library enabled is one way of creating duplicates.
I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See thisthread for background.

Why does my music keep getting deleted on my ipod touch Everytime I connect it to iTunes on my computer? I've Uninstaller and reinstalled itunes. I've reset my ipod to factory setting and I keep getting this message " The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54)" this also happens with my ipod 4th generation too. Everytime I go to put new music on it all my old music gets deleted :-/
That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
To make this your syncing computer:

What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop? I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files. I have to immediately move to trash all the duplications on my desktop. How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)? Thanks for your help!
What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
That's all I can think of. -
Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists?
Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists? Also, you cannot use the "show duplicate songs" feature on the iPod - I suppose that is because it is not supposed to duplicate songs on the iPod. But, if that is the case - why does it do it?
Try resetting your iPod, press and hold the power and the home buttons together approximately 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. If that does not work try connecting to you iTunes library via the cable and un-sync the library from your iPod then sync the library. For the next 2 options backup your iPod first, then do a Restore iPod from backup, if that doesn't work... As a last resort Restore your iPod as New. I too had the red circle and square after updating to 7.0.4 the last resort fixed mine, others have reported doing all the above, all have had reports of fixing the problem and not fixing it. Give it a try, hopefully one of these works, Good luck.

Why does my music have a red circle with a square dot beside it and how do i remove it
why does my music have a red circle with a square dot beside it
Here's what I had to do, no thanks to the others on here who go at it like Apple, delete and restore.
No, you don't have to delete and restore. Just open a folder on your computer, call it something like iPad music, keep it open, open iTunes, select all your music, copy and paste it in the folder you just created, delete all your music from iTunes (relax, you just copied it into that folder). Select all the music in that folder, drop it back onto your playlist. Now, I renamed my playlist, because it was called untitled, originally, so if that doesn't work, rename, or delete and recreate your playlist, copy the music back over, sync, and they will play.
Worked for me, anyhow. Good luck!

Why does the music go off when the screen light is off?
Why does the music go off when the sceen light goes off
This is usually an indication that your headphones/earbuds are not plugged all the way in. Double check the connection and make sure that no metal from the jack is showing.

Why does my music player on my iPhone 4 always revert back to the same song when in shuffle mode even tho I have played multiple songs since that first song was played.very frustrated
SHuffle does not play songs in a truly random fashion. Like all computer related random generators the sequence is pseudo-random

why does my music stop playing when i press the sleep wake button? it says that the screen should turn off bu the music should still keep playing
This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in. Make sure the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the plug can still be seen.
If you are 100% positive that the earbuds are all the way in, double check to make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris and/or damage.

why does music skip around & not play in order in library? since latest update is there a shuffle feature & if so how do i turn it off? thanks for the help!
Hi henry1963,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your are correct and shuffle is turned on in iTunes. Please use the following article as a reference for turning shuffle off.
iTunes 11 for Mac: Ways to play songs
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12131
You can play music in iTunes in various ways.
Shuffle or repeat songs
Do any of the following:
Turn shuffle on or off: Click the Shuffle button. Shuffle is on when the arrows are blue.
Shuffle albums or groupings: Choose Controls > Turn On Shuffle > “by Albums” (or “by Groupings”). iTunes plays the songs in the order in which they appear on the album or in the grouping, and then chooses another album or grouping at random.
I hope this helps,

Why does IPhoto create dupicates of photos and graphic that is on My Mac when I import the photos from Photo stream to the library? I started out with about 4,000 photos when I transferred everything from my PC. I use a new IPad and IPhone to take the photos. The Mac is running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 3.1 Intel prosessor. I am using IPhoto 11.
Thanks in advance
