  • What is the fastest way to delete duplicate songs?

    I will spend hours deleting songs from the duplicate veiw unless someone has a faster way to delete duplicates.

    Import the photos with your computer as with any other digitial camera. Most computer photo importing apps include an option to delete the photos from the camera after the import process is complete.
    Or select Edit followed by selecting multiple photos that you want to delete followed by selecting Delete.

  • When I import photos taken from my Ipod Touch 4 to My Mac Desktop, I click delete photos on ipod, but they do not delete. Is the only way to delete them individually (I have 1,400 photos!) or is there a way to delete them all in one go?

    I realise you can you can delete them on your ipod slowly as you have to click on each one, and you can restore your ipod, but surely there is a way to get around this?
    Software: 4.3.2

    Thanks If anyone can help me.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

  • HT1417 What's the quickest way to delete duplicates without going song by song?

    What is the quickest way to delete duplicates from i tunes library without going song by song?  I just transferred my music from my ipod classic to my computer and now I have a lot of duplicate music.  Most is from CD's I reburned or music I was able to get back on my new computer through I tunes.  It is from my personal i pod (one of 4).  I finally figured out how to get it off the ipod and back onto my newer computer. I made sure to go to advanced setting and check "keep i tunes folder organized" but it still saved all duplicates.

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

  • I have 3 songs that will not download and the volume of error messages from Itunes about these "3" is annoying. I know my way around Itunes but cannot find a way to delete them and stop these Itunes download error messages.

    I have 3 songs that will not download and the volume of error messages from Itunes about these "3" is annoying. I know my way around Itunes but cannot find a way to delete them and stop these Itunes download error messages.
    Thank you.

    Thanks Mohammad - much appreciated.
    I also got a response from Apple who said that there was a problem related to fonts and the encryption.xml file
    Once we'd removed this we were able to upload the epub no problem.
    It's odd that the system seems to say that all is okay when it isn't. We have to rely on guesswork rather a lot using iBook Producer.
    Anyway, all sorted now and thank you again for your contribution.
    Best wishes and a Happy New Year!

  • What is the BEST way to delete an app on an iPhone 4S so it will NOT be added back when I sync with iTunes?

    What is the BEST way to delete an app on an iPhone 4S so it will NOT be added back when I sync with iTunes?

    To completely remove an app and all of its data, do this: First delete the app on your phone, then in iTunes, under Library, click on Apps, right-click the app you want to delete & select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash. Connect your phone and sync. The app and all of its data will be gone.

  • I need to organize medical photos.  They are pre-op and post-op photos.  What is the best way to organize them.  should I use iphoto or is that too much trouble.

    I need to organize medical photos.  They are pre-op and post-op photos.  What is the best way to organize them?  should I use iphoto or is that too much trouble? Since they occur on different days, organizing by event does not seem appropriate.  Also, organizing by face is not always possible as some are close up photos of an individual eye.  Surely, this has been done before, and I don't want to spin my wheels reinventing this.

    Who can tell with that amount of information to work with?
    iPhoto is not limited to Events or Faces as organizational tools - Albums, Keywords, various forms of metadata can be leveraged for use as well, and these are often more flexible. Really it's up to you to look at the tools available and see if they suit your usage scenario.

  • My father has just bought an IPOD. He wants to use my PC to get onto Itunes what is the best way to set this up.

    My father has  just bought an ipod classic and he wants to use my PC to download from I tunes. He is 88 and does not have one of his own.
    I have a number of questions: What is the best way for me to set up my computer for to allow him to do this.
    Would he always have to use my PC once he is set up. Can he download from elsewhere?
    Can I sync his IPOD into my I tunes account ( Is this even legal).
    Thanks for any advice.

    Nick,
    You will need a Windows PC with iTunes running and a working copy of Windows Media Player available on the machine.  (iTunes calls WMP for the conversion from WMA).  Then just drag the WMA file(s) into the iTunes Music window.
    iTunes will detect it and give you the dialog shown below, to which you choose "Convert."  iTunes will create a new version in the format/bitrate set in your Import preferences (MP3 in my example below), and immediately add it to your iTunes library.
    The WMA original will be left in place, so you can delete it if you have no other need for it.

  • Most of my my target audience are not familiar with iTunes, so I am trying to figure out how to explain how to rate it. What's the fastest way to say it to the iTunes-newbie?

    Most of my my target audience are not familiar with iTunes, so I am trying to figure out how to explain how to rate it. Is this the shortest way? “Open iTunes on your computer, click on iTunes Store and search for my podcast. You’ll see it at the top of the results. When you click on it, you’ll see “Write a Review” and will be able to submit your comments and ratings.” Right now they find my podcast because they are on my mailing list, not through iTunes. It would be easy if I could just say, "Go to iTunes.com" or "Go to my web site" - but there are sooooo many steps! Help! Thank you,
    Milana

    There is another trick - if you give them this URL:
    itpc://feeds.feedburner.com/RecurringRevenueRevolutionPodcast
    (note itpc not http)
    it will subscribe them directly to your feed in iTunes, but it does depend on their having iTunes installed (and in Windows set as the application to use with 'itpc'), otherwise they will get an error message, so it's a slightly double-edged weapon. You could them the link and say 'subscribe in iTunes' as an alternative to the iTunes Store page.

  • On the itunes 11 i refreshed my podcast all the prior podcast I've heard are now set to download and i can't find a way to delete them

    On itunes 11 I refreshed my podcasts all the prior podcasts that I've already listened to are on my list to download. You used to be able to delete right off the list but I cant seem to do that now. 

    James Ward4  Thanks for your suggestion.  I have tried the video app and it appears to have some, but not all of the downloads which are viewable without wifi, so I will now review the download process and see if I can capture the missing episodes.  Thanks again.

  • I have my itunes library on my desktop pc.  I'm traveling for the summer and would like to have all the content on my laptop as well.  What is the fastest way to do this?

    I downloaded itunes on my new laptop, but I cannot seem to find any of my content (music, movies, books...).  I would like for my itunes library to be available on both computers (desktop pc and laptop pc).  IS THIS POSSIBLE???
    I've tried homesharing, but nothing shows up.  Also, I'm assuming once I leave home with the laptop, the content wouldn't be available. 
    There is probably a simple solution but I can't seem to figure it out in a crunch...Please help!

    Works fine in Windows - copy your entire iTunes library to an external USB drive, plug this into your laptop, start iTunes while holding down the shift key and then select the iTunes library on the external drive.  Alternatively you can can repeat the copy process from the external drive to your laptop.  Once you have the duplicated libraries Microsoft's SyncToy tool does a good job of keeping the content of the different libraries in sync.  You can also copy over a network but unless your library is small this can be very slow.  I've used this method for years so that I can have the same library content at home (master), at work, and on the road.  One point to note is that this only works if you set iTunes (via Edit > Preferences > Advanced) to keep iTunes media folder organized and copy files to iTunes folder.  Other thing is to make sure you exit from iTunes before copying/synchronizing the library, as otherwise the iTunes library files (.itl and .xml in Windows) may be inconsistent with content (everything in iTunes\iTunes Media).

  • In iTunes 11, what is the best way to delete the iTunes purchased song from my library after I create an aiff copy?

    I use my MacBook Pro as a music server. After downloading a song from the iTunes store I create an AIFF copy in my laptop's iTunes  Library. I then delete the original purchased song from the library to avoid duplicates. In iTunes prior to version 11 I had no difficulties doing this. The purchased copy just went back to the cloud and awaited future download onto other devices  leaving the new AIFF copy in my laptop's library. In iTunes 11 it is not as easy. The purchased version wants to stay in my library even after it is  deleted. What is the best (simplest) process to delete the compressed copy completely from my laptop's library while leaving the Aiff version. However, I want the original version to be available in the cloud for download on my other devices. Quite often my efforts have resulted in hiding the song frm the cloud! Any suggestion.....?

    I want higher resolution then afforded in the original download.
    Then why are you converting iTunes purchases?
    You cannot get higher resolution by converting  the original. This goes for converting anything, not just iTunes purchases.
    Creating an AIFF will simply make the file 10 time as large with zero increase in quality.
    Don't really want to debate value of creating the new version.
    Agreed.
    You are simply wasting time and drive space converting iTunes purchases to AIFF.

  • What is the easiest way to delete duplicates of photos

    I have ended up with many duplicates and  triplicates after uploading new photos trying to figure out the easiest way to manage these and delete the extras I have over 20,000 pictures.

    best way is to avoid them in the first place - have you by any chance imported an older iPhoto library into your current iPhoto library? Recently? Is the old library still available?
    THe best way to remove dupicates is using th epaid version of iPhoto Library Manager or Duplicate annilator
