All songs duplictated in itunes after creating new library

I moved music files from several locations to one location (itunesmedia\music) cleaned out the junk.  Then created a new itunes library.  All songs are duplicated.  What to do to correct?
Itunes 12.0.1

Thanks for this thread I'm suffering the same exact issues.  Jim are you suggesting that if I resist the "update itunes match" button my deletions of songs in the Cloud will take care of themselves in due time?  And that a rush to "update" too soon after deleting 200+ songs in the cloud is the reason they reappear the next morning?
I'm happy to know this if it is true and adjust my behavior accordingly.
I wish Apple would be more clear about their counter-intuitive functionality - "update" to me doesn't mean "restore" or "revert."

  • Unable to upload from iPhoto to FB after creating new library

    Two days ago I exported all my photos/videos from iPhoto 09 to an EHD.  I created a new library - Library 2012 - and since have added about 50 photos and one 2-minute video.
    I can click on "email" at the bottom of my iPhoto screen and successfully send images.
    However, I cannot upload photos or videos to FB.  I start on my FB page, click "add photo/video".  In the good ole days, this took me to iPhoto and I could select my image.  Since creating Library 2012, I cannot access my library through any of the links that are on the screen that appears.  I've tried the following, all leading to a dead end:
    Under Media > Photos:  Nothing populates the column to the right.
    Under Places > Applications > iPhoto > "preview" of iPhoto populates column to the right.  Clicking it uploads the useless "preview"
    Under Places > iPhoto Library 2012 > iPhoto Library 2012.  Clicking it uploads to the useless "preview"
    (Note:  I had taken screenshots of the above, to better illustrate, but was unable to upload them to this forum as well.  Frustrating much?!)
    I am just at my wits' end.  Any assistance will be appreciated.  TIA!

    Thanks!  Apologies for the delay in reporting back - was off-line most of the weekend.
    I just ran the repair permissions with Disk utility, as suggested.  A great number of permissions differed ... but, in the end, after it was completed and I re-booted, the same issue remains with iPhoto.
    I'm now running "Permission Verify" just for the heck of it.

  • I have removed all music/movies/etc. from iTunes due to duplicates. I have connected iTunes to a NEW library only to have the same problem, duplicates (2 or 3 of every song). I need a solution.

    I have removed all music/movies/etc. from iTunes due to duplicates. I have connected iTunes to a NEW library (38.33 GB) only to have the same problem, duplicates (2 or 3 of every song or 63.80 GB). I did not have this problem until syncing my library with the new Macbook Pro. I need a solution (a solution IS NOT sifting through my iTunes song by song and deleting the duplicates).

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

    You did not make a backup of your computer before you erased it?

  • All songs duplicated in itunes: how to get rid of duplicates ?

    Computer crashed, re-installed software with all itunes songs saved in itunes folder. Re-installed itunes and imported itunes folder but now all songs appear in itunes in duplicate and I cannot find a way of re-organising the library. Is there any way to easily delete the duplicate songs ? In the My Music I Tunes folder some of the files appear in duplicate as well, I presume something related to computer crash. Any advice gratefully received ¬!!

    Be sure not to do any work in that gallery in iPhoto while it is in the publishing mode. That can cause problems and duplicates. Sometimes it takes a while to finish.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • My iphone 4s ios 7.0.2 had songs.I had put the songs through itunes. Now when i wanted to put more songs in my iphone through itunes, i pressed sync all songs and then itunes said that all songs are in my iphone now. But in my iphone it shows no songs.why

    I have an iphone 4s ios 7.0.2. Before updating to the latest ios i had songs in my iphone. after updating also it was there, but when i wanted to put more songs through itunes in my iphone , i synced with itunes first with my iphone. Then i pressed sync all songs and then itunes said that all songs had been synced. But in my iphone it showed me that there is no songs at all and i have to download it from itunes store. The songs which i had also went from my iphone. I dont know what happened. I updated my itunes to the latest one 11.1.1. But still no change . Can anyone tell me what is the problem. What to do?

    Hello babichanjacob
    Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

    Import the music on the external HD into iTunes.  If you don't want iTunes to make a new copy of each track that is stored in your iTunes Media folder on your PC's internal HD, make sure the Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library option is NOT ticked from under the Advanced tab of iTunes Preferences.  Just remember that if you go this route, you'll always need to have your external HD plugged in before you start up iTunes.

  • Is there any way that I can put the 600 songs that are stored on my old PC onto my new PC?  My iPod has the 600 songs on it but my iTunes will not let me add the songs onto the iTunes on the new computer.

    Yes.
    You should have copied everything from the old computer to the new one.
    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar

  • New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7

    New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7 workstation. 
    Windows 2008r2 hosts the hyper-v server. I can create VMs and VHD's when connecting to the server locally with the hyper-v manager. 
    The issue arises when I try to connect to the hyper-v server from my workstation which runs windows 7. 
    I have installed  The Windows6.1-KB958830-x64-RefreshPkg.msu that was suggested for windows 7 sp1. 
    I can connect to the hyper-v server, create vm's but  I cannot create vhd's  the gui just hangs with no errors in event log or on screen. 
    The files are there on the hyper-v hard drive but i suspect they are just created by windows as they are written and are not valid. 

    I've had just the same solution. Both did Hang Fixed size and flexible.
    Two parts were taken:
    1 - KB939820 for Windows 2003 server based domain controllers
    2 - disable using IPv6 on your NIC
    Result - both types of VHD's are created normaly.
    -----Infrastructure----
    Windows 2003 Domain upgtraded to 2008R2
    Windows Server 2008R2 Hyper-V - virtualisation clustered
    Windows 7 Pro - Hyper-V management

  • I am looking to update to a new imac with intel core processor. I am still old school with a powerbook G4. I want to know if I am going to have to upgrade all graphic programs right away after buying new computer. Thanks.

    Thanks for any advice!!!

    Anything you have that is powerpc code only will not run on a new machine.  OS X 10.8 has no support for powerpc code (universal binary programs should be fine).
    Other than that warning, without knowing exactly what programs you have, and what version you are on, it is hard to say whay will or will not migrate alright.
    you might need to do some web searching and check apps at sites like roaringapps or on the programs Company web site.

  • ITunes needs a new library

    When I open iTunes a message appears telling me iTunes needs a new library and I either have to create a new one or choose an old one.  I want to choose an old iTunes library but when I go to Music-iTunes-Previous iTunes Libraries and click the Library this message appears:
    The file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.
    How do I get iTunes working again/ How do I get permission to use my old iTunes library?

    Hi there bwhong3614,
    I would recommend taking a look at the information found in the article below if your iTunes library is empty after an update.
