Sorry to say, you're going to have to go through your files and see where the duplicates are.
If you had duplicates on the memory stick, there will be duplicates in itunes.

In Contacts, I don't have any duplicates, but in iMessage contacts on iMac in Mountain Lion, the contacts it provides for a new message are all doubles. Why and how can I fix? Thx.

I also notice that each contact says iCloud in it twice, but when I go to iCloud.com, there are no duplicates either. Help..

Try Contacts>Preferences...>Accounts...remove {-}/re-add {+}your iCloud account.
If that is not successful, follow the steps listed in iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts.

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.

Backup files on PC becomes too big, how to delete files not needed and where to delete them?

I used iTune to manage iPhone and iPad. iTune will back up content of both devices. I found that recently the backup files become too many and used up a significant amount of my PC harddisk. How do I go about to delete old backup files to release harddisk space? Thanks.

Backups for iPods, iPhones, and iPads are fairly small in size... 60-70mb approximately.
I seriously doubt they are filling your hard drive or using a significant amount of space.
You can remove backups via iTunes
Edit > Preferences > Devices
Select the backup or backups and delete them.

The restore from backup process is all or nothing, & if you've been told NOT to restore from backup, there is no supported way to "selectively" restore an iPhone backup. You can use third-party software to "extract" data from your backup:

Are old backup files saved or deleted in iTunes

I had to restore my Iphone back to factory. The backup file I created was too big to restore and the Verizon tech (who I foolishly let take over my computer) backed up the empty phone over the old backup file. I found a program to restore the original backup data, but it's been overwritten by the recent backup. Does iTunes delete the the old backup files or store them in a different folder?

iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per iOS device. As you've found out, its an incremental backup in that data that has changed or deleted is added or removed from the backup. Unless you backup your computer, your data is gone.

HT201269 I restored my iphone and backed up all my setting in iTunes. how do I get the backed up information back on my phone?

how do I get everything back on my phone?

If you have backed your iPhone in iTunes, you can use Backuptrans iPhone Backup & Restore to recovery data from iTunes backup back to your iPhone. Try it.

I did a system upgrade (clean install) to Snow Leopard. I now have lost all of my Firefox bookmarks. Should they be somewhere in my backup files (on an external drive)? How do I locate them? And, how do I restore them to Firefox in the new system?

Where would the Bookmarks be filed in my system backup? Can I move them to the new system (Internal drive)?

Hi drnels,
Are you saying you still have access to the backup? If you do, you should take a look at [[Backing up your information]]. It will show you where all of your personal information is stored in Firefox and how you can copy it to a new install.
Hopefully this helps!

Deleted podcasts in Finder, still show up in iTunes, how to remove?

Well, I rummaged a bit in the old threads and found some stuff... but I'm looking for a simple solution. I'd like to delete from iTunes all the podcasts that I had deleted via the Finder.
I can figure out which ones if I laboriously, manually, click play and am then prompted that iTunes can't find it. What a drag! When I do that, it changes the symbol to a !.
The problem is that I thought Refresh would do fix everything! Instead that changed all those ! to solid buttons! So, I'm in worse shape than before!
Is there any way of asking to iTunes to double check its own list and delete anything from its listing that it can't find?

For some reason I couildn't edit my previous post! Hmm.. don't know why.
In any event... I tried Remove Dead Tracks. At first, I thought it doesn't distinguish between podcasts that are listed but haven't been downloaded yet and tunes that have been deleted from the finder but are still listed!
It was reporting 91 dead tracks, but I've only deleted a handful via the finder. (Well, so I thought. It's pretty clear on further inspection that I had, in fact, deleted that many-- I had deleted one folder of dozens upon dozens of 1 minute shows.
So, I'll have to try it in the future if this happens again... though it doesn't give the option to delete them one at a time, but rather says it will delete them all-- just like Super Remove!
Still, appreciate your help!

How to use backup files after I reset my ipod?

I reset my ipod touch and it asks me for my boyfriend's itunes password or when I want to use my old backup files it says that my itunes password is wrong.

It also said when I was trying to make an account on here as well that my password is wrong, so if someone could help that would be great. Thanks Mak1121

Have you tried signing out of the existing iTunes account on the iPod and signing into yours? Also the same for the computer's account.

PC crashed b4 good backup of iTunes - how 2 get ipod music back on PC?

Before we could get a good backup of all my son's iTunes music, the hard drive crashed on the PC. The bad sectors are where his music was so we have no way of recovering from the PC. Is there a way to get the music from his iPod color (30gb) from the iPod to iTunes on the rebuilt PC?

Or you can go in (letter of the driver):\iPod_Control\Music. To see the iPod_Control folder, You must have the hidden folders option off. If it is near of what i'm trying to explain, you should see 50 folders From F00 to F49. Copy and paste them in your computer. I did this(using Windows) And it took me about an hour for 2 000 or so songs. Hope it'll help you!
