How do I delete default genres in iTunes 11.3?

It used to be a case of editing the localized.strings file, but this no longer works. Anyone know where the list of default genres can be found now?

This is a source of frusteration for many people! There are some programs you can purchase which I have never used that will dedupe your library for you.
Alternatively there are some awesome tricks found here http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp  and free too! I am new at this but here's how I understand it : They are vbs scripts so what you do is copy the text for whatever you are trying to do into a notepad file, then save the notepad file (file-save as) as anyname.vbs, and on the drop down menu below select save as all file types. Then your notepad file will be magically transformed into a vbs file which, after opening itunes, you click on it and it does its thing. There are different scripts for different functions eg deduping, clearing dead tracks, etc.
Let me know if you have any  questions. Samsoft saved me so much time.

  • How do I remove default genres in iTunes 11?

    I don't mean any genres I've added myself, but default genres already in the program, like "Pop."   In the past you could edit the localizable.strings file, but the genres no long seem to be there.  There is a genresLoc.plist file but that also does not seem to have a list of genres in it.  Again, I've done this in past versions of iTunes but can't seem to find information on how to do this in the latest version.  Everything posted on the subjhect seems to be out-of-date and related to previous versions.
    Please do not post a link to the same MacWorld article from 2007 that I've seen a few times.  This is iTunes 11 on a Mac that I need to change.

    Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
    There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.

  • How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? (More info inside)

    How do I delete/hide songs from iTunes Match? When I mark them, and delete them (and yes, I mark the box where it says delete from the cloud as well), they just reappear once I sync with itunes match again. (the symbol available for download appears). Is there a way to completely remove the tracks?
    (And no, I don't just want to hide them (in the menu), since the tracks will appear in my iPhone anyways).

    Hey imol92,
    You may have already looked at this; http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4915
    It is all the public information on removing songs that you have uploaded to the iTunes Cloud.

  • I was downloading a movie on my iPad and I stopped downloading it and I want to delete it and it won't. How do you delete it in the iTunes for iPad

    I was downloading a movie on my iPad and I stopped downloading it and I want to delete it and it won't. How do you delete it in the iTunes for iPad.

    If you tap and hold down the icon - and the X does not appear on the icon - you will not be able to delete it without totally downloading it. Finish the download and then delete it.

  • How can I delete movie from my itunes

    How can I delete movie from my itunes on cpmputer?

    I think I found a solution to this problem. Go into the Video app and tap on TV Shows and then tap on the icon for the show that is downloading. Next to each episode, there is a circle with a square in the middle of it. Tap the square next to each episode and it will disappear both from that list and and from the downloading queue in the iTunes app. When you want to download a particular episode, go back into the show in the Video season and tap on Show Complete Season. Now each episode has its own Download button.
    Needless to say, it is insane that when you redeem a season purchase on the iPad, it insists on downloading the entire season.

    Open iTunes with your device connected to the computer. Click on the Apps entry under Libraries in the iTunes sidebar.

  • How can I delete duplicate songs in Itunes ?

    How can i delete duplicate songs in Itunes ?

    I have the same problem, where my music library shows duplicates of just about everything I put in iTunes now. It began about a month ago. As far as looking at Date Added, well they are duplicates all put on at the same time. It isn't a matter of the title showing up later, or my having accidentally added the same song twice (say, from different sources or compilations). This is a problem with Apple I think because it just began a month ago and I changed no settings, nor did I do anything else. It just began to happen out of the blue. Anyone know about this?
