Can't remove duplicates

I had to import all of our music from our removable hard drive - and now have 2 and 3 copies of some songs.  I've tried highlighting and deleting, highlighting and dragging to recycle bin - but nada. 
When I highlight the song and click on "edit" - the "delete" button is greyed out so I can select delete.
how do I get rid of all the duplicate titles?

I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.

  • How can i remove duplicates and certain contacts on Outlook and my iPhone?

    I use the Outlook mail and contact program on my PC with a Windows 7 operating system, which I sync with my iPhone5.
    After installing the iCloud program, I now have duplicate and sometimes quadruplicate contacts.
    1. How can I remove the duplicates?
    2. How can I be selective about which contacts I want to share on iCloud, in other words, can I share only certain contact categories/folders like work contacts or personal contacts?
    3. How can I "uncloud" specific contacts and have them appear only on my computer and not on my iPhone?
    4. Is there a way to restore accidently deleted contacts?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Connect the device to the computer.
    Select what is desired to sync.
    Sync.

  • HT2905 Can't remove duplicates in iTunes library

    I just downloaded the newest verion of iTunes and there is no option to "display duplicates" under the "file" tab. Any ideas? Thanks!

    The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11.0. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
    There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicate copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
    If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file. Same advice to backup applies.

  • How can I remove duplicate of entire library on my itunes

    i got a new large drive for my expanding music collection. backed up to it, then went to preferences and changed where the library resides to the new drive..opened itunes and got a bunch of ? marks near my songs [ perhaps i didn't wait till they disappeared ] and then went to users>music [ on the drive i was moving from ] and dragged the "itunes music" file into the opened itunes on the desktop. Now i have duplicates of everything AND when i have both drives running [old and new] and play each individual song, each song will play from each drive. HOW DO I GET BACK TO ONE OF EACH SONG? I have thought of wiping the new drive clean and starting fresh .. but do i need to do that?

    There is an excellent program to do this called "Dupin". You can check it out at

  • Can't remove duplicates in Address Book

    Have lots of duplicates in Address Book since moving to iCloud. Went to Card>Look for Duplicate. It found a few and so merged them but there are still lots of identical cards that are not recognized as duplicates. Is there a simple, easy way to remove them? Otherwise, I may have to spend hours doing it manually.

    If you click on File, and choose New Group, does the same thing happen?
    What keyboard and mouse are you using?

  • How can I remove duplicate music on my iPhone?

    Recently my computer for some reason restarted iTunes and reimported everything.
    When I plugged in my iPhone to sync, it readded all my music.
    I now have duplicates of almost everything. There's over 4000 songs, so I'd really like to avoid having to manually delete each one by swiping.
    I've tried unsyncing music and then adding it again many many times (it worked for my iPod Nano which had the same problem), but that hasn't helped.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? Let me know if I can provide anymore information too. Thanks!

    Go to settings > General > Usage > and then try deleting the 'music' section under storage (swipe to delete).

  • HT2486 How can i remove duplicates from my address book?

    When I synced my phone through icloud my contacts were all duplicated on my address book on my desktop.  is there an easy way to remove the dupilcates? thank you!

    Here's one such AppleScript I found on the web
    The script will Find the duplicate Entries in Your AddressBook.app and put them into a New Group Called "Duplicate Entries" Allowing you to easly compare and edit them.) ***NOTE: The script will ADD a NEW GROUP IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK : NAMED "Duplicate Entries" if it does not exist:

    tell application "Address Book"
       set biglist to {}
       if not (exists (group "Duplicate Entries")) then
           make new group with properties {name:"Duplicate Entries"}
       end if
       set the_names to the name of every person as list
       repeat with i from 1 to number of items in the_names
           set this_Name to item i of the_names
           set theName to name of person this_Name as string
           if this_Name is not in biglist then
               copy this_Name to end of biglist
           else

  • HT2905 How to remove duplicate songs from the iPhone when the duplicates are not listed in the iTunes library on the computer.

    How can I remove duplicate songs from the iPhone4. The duplicates are not listed in the computer iTunes library.

    The simplest thing may be to back-up and then restore the iPhone. If you don't fancy that then remove all media that is currently synced to it, then double check and manually remove any media that remains on the device, before reselecting your sync options.
    If you've been manually managing the device and your library doesn't contain copies of all your media then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Remove Duplicate Music Files, But Keep iTunes Copy

    How can you remove duplicate copies of music files on your hard drive but be sure to keep the one iTunes is using and keeping the iTunes Library intact?
    I have hundred of duplicate music files, using a tool like CleanGenius or others I can get a list of duplicate files, but I do not want to break iTunes Library and only want to remove the duplicates that are not being used in iTunes.

    I have the same issue. If I have a file in my music folder and then click on it and it opens in itunes it creates a duplicate file in my itunes library. Besides sorting in finder and deleting one by one based upon folder location is there a less mind numbing way to accomplish this task.
    Or do I have to pay the $10 for a program like Gemini?

  • How do I remove duplicate photos on my iMac

    HOw can I remove duplicate photos I seem to have done something wrong and have 5 duplicates of everything

    The best option in that case is to restore your iPhoto library from your backup.
    If your backup is not current it will be a lot of work and a risky operation, even with tools like iPhoto library Manager or Duplicate Annihilator.
    Before you start deleting duplicates make a backup copy of the current state, so you have a fall back option in case you delete accidentally too much.
    Old Toad has posted a list of tools to identify duplicates here:  Re: eliminating iphoto duplicates

  • Removing duplicate files

    How can i remove duplicate files. I've al

    Do I understand that your music library contains two identical songs and you want to completely get rid of a duplicate so that the file itself won't be stored on the hard drive wherever you keep your actual music library files?
    When I delete a duplicate, a second message box comes up and asks if I want to move it to the Trash. Yes isn't the default but Apple +M does it from the keyboard.
