Why does same artist appears twice on iPod Mini?

Even though I change the "get info" to show just the artist's name and not the "...feat ___" the songs continue to show up separately in my iPod. How can I get all the songs to appear under the artist name?

what do you mean by in a row? I have the same exact problem, but there different albums that's why there doubles, triples, and quadruples of the same artists, but how do you fix it so that the album is only under one artist?
PLEASE HELP ME!

HT204406 I have subscribed to match on iTunes and organized my music on my Mac Book. Why does it not appear the same way on my iPad

I would like my music to appear organized in the same way on my iPad as I have done it on my Mac Book. (and on my iPhone as well) Since it is in the cloud, why does it not appear the same way in all devices?

The purpose of iTunes match is to make your music library available to all of your devices anywhere. It will sync Playlists, but no other type of organization you may have made.
If you're having trouble, be sure you are logged into the same Apple ID on all devices but be sure to read this article and pay special attention to associating your devices with an Apple ID. There are important restrictions you should know about.

The camera icon appears so that you can take a picture quickly without having to enter your password. It is not responsible for the shutter sound. The Touch always made that sound when manually closing or going to sleep even with older iOS that did not have the camera icon.

Duplicate artists appearing on my ipod

I'm getting the same artist appearing five times under my ipod Artist menu. Whichever one of these I select I get the same identical full catalogue of tunes for that given artist that I have stored on my ipod. I've reinstalled itunes, I've restored my ipod but nothing sorts this problem. I've also tried deleting the relevant tracks from itunes and then adding them again but this does not resolve the issue. Has anybody else experienced this phenomena? It only happened for the first time yesterday and is a bit mysterious.

You need to make sure the artist name is spelt in an identical manner on every track. Even an extra space at the end of the name that you might not notice can make a difference. Try this even if everything looks the same. Sort your iTunes library by artist to bring your tracks together. Click on the first track by your artist, hold down the shift key and click on the last track in the list, this will highlight all in between. Right click on the list and choose Get Info, you get a dialogue box asking if you want to update multiple items, click Yes and then the Info tab. Overtype the artist name then click ok and this will ensure the whole selection is identical. Once you've done this connect your iPod, if you are updating automatically it will pick up the changes.

Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest?

Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest? It's not a major problem but it would be nice to be able to fix it, and to understand how it happened.
Everything else is in English (or set to English) as far as I can see, and my Macbook is only a couple of weeks old. All system updates have been performed and permissions have been repaired.
It displays it in Finnish (Suomi) as 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' only when logged in, in the System Preferencess user list and apple menu (where you would normally select 'Log Out Guest User'). I cant find anyone else with the same problem online. I am in the UK, purchased the Macbook on the UK Apple Store online, and I have never been to Finland or selected anything to do with Finland or its language. Everything else is in English.
I should add that 'Vierastilin' showed up instead of 'Guest User' on the OSX login screen on the first day I had the Macbook, but this seemed to fix itself somehow soon after.
A couple of photos to illustrate the problem that still exists are attached.

Thanks for the reply. I only have English - Primary but I guess I could add Finland and then delete it...
Okay, tried that, lots of variations including deleting all other languages and only using Finnish, and then using only British English etc - when guest is in Finnish the whole lot becomes Finnish/Suomi (see attached photos to compare with the ones above) - then when you delete Finnish and go back to English, everything is Englisg apart from 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' as above.
Any other ideas where it stores that info - is there a dodgy preference file somewhere which needs zapping?

why does my iMac appear many times in my network and labelled 1,2,3, etc

Ok, I solved it.
I followed this steps:
1- Turn Off Wi-Fi from the Wireless menu item
2- From the OS X Finder, hit Command+Shift+G and enter the following path:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
3- Within this folder locate and select the following files:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
 com.apple.network.identification.plist
com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist 
NetworkInterfaces.plist 
preferences.plist
4- Move all of these files into a folder on your Desktop called ‘wifi backups’ or something similar – we’re backing these up just in case you break something but if you regularly backup your Mac you can just delete the files instead since you could restore from Time Machine if needed.
5- Reboot the Mac
6- Turn ON WI-Fi from the wireless network menu again

Are you syncing with itunes on the computer? If you have both sync with itunes and use icloud, that would produce duplicates.

Anytime you have photos in the Camera Roll album on your iPad your computing assumes you will want to copy them. If you don't want to copy those photos then just quit Image Capture or whatever other program starts when you connect. Then start iTunes and go from there.

This is actually still relevant if you are syncing with Gmail or Google Contacts or Calendar:

If you have already removed it, you can still get it back (if you need) following the instructions in the article.

Same genre appears twice in my iPhone 5s.

Why does the same genre (Alternative) appear twice in my iPhone 5s. Both Genre listings in the phone show the same # of songs and minutes.
What I've done thus far:
1. removed "Alternative" genre from all songs in music library
2. synced iPhone and both Alternative Genre we removed on iPhone under Genres
3. made sure the Genre spelling on all songs is correct and the same in iTunes
4. re-synced iPhone and again both Genres Alternative appear.
Then tried this:
2. connected iPhone to iTunes, went to iTunes / iPnone > settings > music and verified under "Genres" that Alternative only appears once in the Genres section
3. on the iPhone settings > music > insured "Show All Music" was turned off
4. on the iPhone settings > iTunes & App Store insured "Show All" > music was turned off
5. unchecked Sync Music and selected remove all music then synced iPhone, verified all music and all Genres on the iPhone were removed
6. ejected iPhone did a hard reset on iPhone verified both "Alternative" Genres were deleted.
7. connected iPhone to iTunes, went to iTunes / iPnone > settings > music and re-selected Sync Music and synced
8. STILL TWO LISTINGS OF ALTERNATIVE GENRE ON IPHONE AND HAS THE SAME # OF SONGS AND MINUTES.
* note no other Genres have duplicate listings and there are a total of 9 other Genres. Of those 3 are custom names.
Help please...
Thank you in advance.

Is the phone unlocked and available to you? Have you notified your carrier of this change?

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.

Albums appearing twice on iPod

Hello.. I recently purchased the iPod Touch 32GB. I put my iTunes library onto the new ipod and I noticed that a few of the albums were put on to the ipod twice. I tried to delete them from the ipod and then put them back on but they still appeared twice. I have a lot of B-Side albums from different artists and these B-sides seem to be the albums that appear twice. I checked all of the tags in itunes and they're all fine. Before I got the ipod touch I had an ipod classic and I didn't have this problem with the duplicate albums. If anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks
Morgan

This behaviour can occur wherever an artist also has tracks with one or more guests and you have more than one album by the principal artist. See my post *Yet more menu madness* http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5899476&#5899476
This is a feature of the way the iPod currently (up to & inc. v1.0.3 on Classic & Video) enumerates the artists & albums in the various views, often referencing the artist field when album artist would be more logical. Within one album it seems to cope with listing each combination of artists just once. Give it a new album & it starts over. Likewise keep the album title constant and you can change as many artists/album artists as you like and iPod still sees it as one album... check out *Greatest Hits*, chances are you've more than one album's worth of tracks listed there.
