  • Deleting duplicate songs off of iTunes??

    Hi. I just recently downloaded some songs on my iTunes and they came up as stuff like "#3: [Artist]-[Song Title]" and stuff like that for the name of the song. Well I manually manage my iPod, and so I renamed all of the songs that came up like that before and then I went through and added all of the recently added songs from my recently added playlist and now the ones that came up with jacked up titles AS WELL AS the ones I renamed are on my iPod. I tried going into iTunes to right click on them and delete them, but in iTunes, they only show up in my iPod's recently added playlist, not in the library, and they won't let me delete them. Can someone please tell me how to delete the ones with messed up names? Thank you!

    You can change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos" if you want to delete songs from iTunes. Your iPod will not sync with iTunes in this mode so it can have different content, you can get details here:

    One major word of caution. If you delete songs from your PC and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up songs you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Why is it that when I delete a song off my 4th generation I touch it will not allow me to add it again. I manage my music manually (no syncing). I can add a new song, but as soon as I delete it on my I touch, I can't put it back on.

    I never heard of that problem before. I I can suggest is the stand fixes:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • How can you delete duplicate songs in total, not one at a time?

    How can you delete duplicate songs in total, instead of the tedious task of one at a time. I have hundreds of duplicates.

    Maybe:

    Let's just be very very clear about this AppleTechGeek - more clear than you!
    The 8GB iPod Touch was available as 1st generation, 2nd generation and 4th generation.
    Note; the 8GB iPod Touch was not ever - really, really, not ever, available in the 3rd generation.
    Anyone, including you, who thinks they have - or there is - an 8GB Touch in 3rd generation is wrong and it's becoming tiresome to have to keep saying it to you.
    A 3rd generation iPod Touch can be updated to iOS 5.
    BUT - an 8GB iPod Touch is either:
    1st gen, which can only go as high as iOS 3.1.3
    2nd gen, which can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. This model has Model No. A1288 etched into the back casing.
    4th gen, which can install ioS 5
    Note the lack of 3rd generation 8GB. That's because it does not exist.
    Please stop misleading people. It doesn't help anyone.

  • How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist?!

    How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist - everytime I connect my hard-drive it adds another of every single track - argh!!!!
    I remember there being a 'delete duplicate tracks' option on a much older version of itunes - is this still available and if not if you opt for the 'consolidate library' option will this automatically save to you computer as I have too much music for my laptops memory capacity! On top of that how can I stop this issue from contantly re-occuring everytime I connect my hard-drive?! Apologies if im being thick here.... xX*laura*Xx

    You are doing something wrong, iTunes doesn't add tracks to the library unless you ask it to, so there is a problem somewhere in your workflow which is creating the duplicates. For example, having iTunes set up to "Copy files to the iTunes Media folder when adding to library" and then repeatedly adding in a folder from an external drive would do it.
    Once you've worked out how to stop creating new duplicates you can look at the issue of deduping what you already have. See this recent post for some thoughts and a script that may prove useful.

    Not a good idea! The "show duplicates" feature shows "all" duplicate tracks, but you only want to delete the "extra" copies, not the "originals".
    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background, including how to delete the extra tracks manually if you prefer.

  • How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?

    Greetings!
    After importing my 300 or so CDs into iTunes, I found I have tons of duplicate songs.
    Example: I have a song that came in a original album, then in again in a "Greatest Hits" album, then again in a "Hits of the 80's" album, and again in a soundtrack album. I have now have 4 copies of the exact same song.
    How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums back to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?
    I don't think this currently exists, but as my library keeps growing the duplicates keep growing.  It would be nice if Apple sees this and adds a way to link songs to multiple albums.
    I don't want to create a custom playlist for every album that has a duplicate song or two (I'd have dozens of playlists) - thought about fixing it that way but not really practical.

    To my knowledge, there is no way of doing what you want. The only workaround is to create playlists for the other albums containing the track, but that isn't practical for most people.

  • How to Delete Duplicate Songs in iTunes 8

    Is there an easy way to delete duplicate songs in iTunes 8?
    A friend of mine with a large CD collection and I share music. The trouble is that in the process of exchanging music we have created quite a number of duplicates.
    Is there a way to automate identifying and removing duplicate songs?

    hi,
    you aren't missing this. Show duplicates is NOT a tool to allow to simply select all and hit deleted. It is showing you the duplicates, one beside the other, to allow you to discriminate two songs having the same name but that may not be duplicate. For exemple, they may be two different version of a same song and that you want to keep them. For this reason, automated process are somehow risky to loose also song that you want to keep.
    however, if you still want to proceed with an automated script, you can find some at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/.
    Personnally, I would still discriminate duplicated songs manually by reviewing the list of "show duplicate" to avoid deletion of song I wish to keep. I also have a quite large library and found many songs having the same name and not being duplicates.

    My Nano is full and I can no longer sync more music. How do I delete duplicate songs on the Nano to make room for syncing more songs?

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.
