Deleting duplicates music and apps?

I am trying to clean up my library both in the music that is stored and the apps that have downloaded.
Looking for suggestions of how to get rid of duplicate items in both?

Hi, Peter
The article below will help you resolve the issue with duplicate items. This has steps for iTunes 10 and earlier. In iTunes 11, instead of going to File > Display Duplicates, you can go to View > Show Duplicate Items:
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library

The next iOS update won't change this.
Are you able to transfer anything else from your iTunes library and computer via the iTunes sync process such as a movie, TV show, podcast, audio or print book, apps, and photos from your computer?
What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

HT5824 How do I delete data, music or apps from iCloud which are no longer needed?

I would like to delete data, music and apps which have been uninstalled or deleted from iPad, but still remain available on iCloud. Could anyone help or advise? Thanks very much.

From an ipad you can't see the files in icloud's documents folder unless you use the specific app associated with a given file, like Pages. Can you describe what you are doing on the ipad? What app are you using?

I deleted my photos, music and apps. Help please!

Help me please! I have deleted all my photos and music and apps. I think everything and it keeps saying I have something on phones and I really want to update my iphone. I'm on 2.7 GB Available. I don't know what to do?!

If Other (the yellow bar) is too big something is corrupted. The only solution (that I know of) is to restore from your most recent backup using iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).

My itunes will not start in Win XP. I get an error that says MSVCR80.dll can't be found. I am scared if I just reinstall iTunes that I will lose all my music and apps that are in the old itunes. What can I do.

My iTunes will not start in Win XP. I am getting an error that says MSVCR80.dll can't be found. I am concerned that if I just do a reinstall
of iTunes it will overwrite or delete all the music and apps I have on the current app that won't start. When I boot the PC I get the following:
APSDaemon.exe - unable to locate. MSVCR80.dll not found. Reinstalling application may fix this problem. How can I get iTunes started without losing
all my music and apps? Thanks

It won't unless a problem occurs. Back them up, uninstall iTunes and all related components, and reinstall them.

I have an iPad 3 with 64 GB of storage. I am out of room, but when I add up my movies music and apps, my usage isn't even close to 64GB.

I have an iPad 3 with 64 GB of storage. I am out of space, but when I add up my movies music and apps, my usage isn't even close to 64GB. I used to have about a dozen movies. One day they were just gone and couldn't sync back on. I used to think it was a syncing problem, but it is storage. I have done a hard restart. I have deleted some junk from "memory". I have tried to "clean up" my iPad, but I am missing a ton of space. Is there a trash can that I need to empty? Are my movies still stored but inaccessible? I have read forum posts about an "other" category in stoarge which I don't see on my iPad. Not sure what else to try.

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
An "other" larger than aboutn 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up

Can my wife and i share music and apps if we are synced to the same computer but have different apple id's?

I recently authorized my iphone to my wife's imac and synced them so we could share music and apps. Can we both still use separate apple id's to purchase apps and music and still share them?

Unfortunately, apps and music purchased under one Apple ID cannot be shared with a device on a different Apple ID.
Sorry Kappy, not quite true:
Here's how to do so using different computers:
Transfer what content you want to the separate iTunes library on each computer. To transfer content from your library to your wife's library so that she can use it on her phone or from your wife's library to your library, do this:
1. Launch iTunes under your wife's login.
2. Sign her out of iTunes & then you sign in.
3. iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Disable auto-sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected.
4. Connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC!
5. Store>Authorize this Computer(only have to do this once).
6. File Transfer Purchases(all of the purchased content on your phone will be transferred to your wife's library).
7. When complete, eject your phone, sign out of iTunes, sign your wife back in.
You can now sync whatever content you want to your wife's phone. Just remember, all updates to apps obtained using your account must be done while signed in using your account: sign wife out, you sign in, update apps, you sign out, sign wife in, sync her phone.
This way you can share content(permitted under the EUSLA) and still maintain your separate logins. Do the same on your computer if you want to share content from your wife's library.
Just load whatever content you want to share on each others phones, transfer the content, then delete it from the respective phone if you don't want to keep it there.

How do I remove my apple ID from my kids devices, create their own ids, and then move all of their music and apps to their specific devices?

What I need help with is in the question. Kids are old enough to have separate ids. I want to ensure that I can create them and then associate their music and apps to the right accounts.

As Allan posted you cannot transfer Apps and Music to a different Apple ID. Here's what I would do...
Use separate Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime. These services are separate from iTunes.
Create a new Apple ID > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ -- Note: You need a verified email address
On the device(s) go:
Settings > iCloud > (Scroll Down) Delete Account > Sign in with the new Apple ID -- Note: This only affects the device
Settings > Messages > Send and Received > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign in with the new Apple ID
Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign in with the new Apple ID
This will separate your iCloud content (i.e. Contacts, Notes, Reminders etc.), Messages and FaceTime.
You all can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes and share the already purchased Apps, Music and Movies
If you decide that's not acceptable go:
Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID > Sign out > Sign in with the new Apple ID -- Note: We covered the transfer of content part.
Hopefully that will put you on the right path to sort out the issue.

My daughter is currently using my Apple ID with her ipod touch. I will be upgrading her to an iPhone 4S and would like to use a differnt Apple ID and a new computer and still keep all the current music and apps that she has now. How do I do this?

My daughter is currently using my Apple ID with her ipod touch. I will be upgrading her to an iPhone 4S and would like to use a different Apple ID and a new computer and still keep all the current music and Apps that she has now. How do I do this?

Make a new Apple ID for her.
Use it on her iPhone 4S for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.
Use your ID on her iPhone 4S for iTunes and App Stores.
Sign in with your Apple ID on iTunes Store (on iTunes app of her new computer)
Authorize her new computer with your Apple ID in iTunes (iTunes menu>Store>Authorize this Computer)
Check "Share my Library on my Local Network" in iTunes Preferences in your and her computer
Sign in Home Sharing of her iTunes with your Apple ID.
Copy all the Music she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Copy all the apps she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Export all playlist as xml files from the old computer to the new one.(right click on the playlist to export and "File>Library>Import Playlist to Import)
Sync her iPhone 4S with all content she wants from her new computer (all data from the old computer will be deleted)
Are you sharing Contacts or other data from iCloud?
Be careful or ask for help about moving from iCloud account to another one.

Why won't my phone to synch music and apps after ios6 update?

I have a 3gs and I just updated my phone to ios 6.1.3 - there was an error that happened in the middle of restoring my phone after the update, but all my contacts, photos, email, messages seem to have transfered ok...everything except my music and my apps. However, when I go to sync my phone in itunes, the option to sync is completely greyed out. I've tried restoring the phone again after itunes prompts me whenever I plug it in, but after selecting "restore from backup" it never gives me an estimated completion time - it's like it's just booting up without actually doing anything. I've tried syncing via wifi but the option to sync is still unavailable. How do I fix this?

Well you do not have enough space to update to 7.1 You need at least twice as much space as the size of the update file. You willneed about 3.5Gb What you could do is make sure youhave a good backup (backup http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766) then transfer any purchases to your computer using itunes. Connect your phoen to itunes on your computer, select the phone form the left then click on file in the menu bar and then devices and then transfer purchases. After that you will need to delte more things from your phone. Looks like it might have to be music and/apps that you have to delet as you have used ablt 5 GB of dat aon your phone. the apps should be on itunes in your computer and you can sync them back. camera roll photos will be in the backup. Any other photos that you transferred form the comptuer to your phone should be on your computer and you can sync them back. Once you have made enough space do the updata then restore from the backup and then sync /transfer back what you need.

If they really meant that much to you, they would have been copied off to a computer at the earliest possible opportunity.
I personally find it amazing that people get so upset when pictures "accidentally" get deleted and then scream about how important they are. You wouldn't leave important paper work lying around to be lost/damaged/stolen, so why take a chance with important pictures on a device that can so easily be lost/damaged/stolen, or deleted by a child.

How do i get my music and apps back after downloading ios5 for an iPhone 4

I upgraded to ios5 and all of my music and apps were deleted off of my phone. how do i get it back, especially my music becase all the muic on my phone was from just one computer. i've tried the back up option but it doesnt do anything.

Regardless of where the content came from, backups do not contain media.
It is ultimately up to the user to manage their content and ensure it all exists in an accessible location.
Have you failed to maintain backups of your media regardless of which computer it originated on?

I have deleted the music button/app from my phone. How do I get it back in my main settings?

You can't delete it. Look on all your screens and inside all your folders. If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so. (You may want to take some screenshots of your screens first so you can recreate your app layout.)

My computer is broke and I need to transfer my music and apps to my other computer how can I do this without loosing all my apps and music

I tried to transfery my music and apps befor but it said it would delete all of the file on my iPod so I could really use some help

You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can transfer other stuff by the info supplied in this previous discussion:
Best iPod to PC
After you get the stuff on the new computer, let iTunes erase the iPod and replace it contents with what is now in the iTunes library. All yu saved games and app date will be lost.

With home sharing, can I sync music and apps on multiple computers at home?

Hi.
With home sharing, can I sync music and apps on multiple computers at home?
Basically, I want to sync my iphone and ipad on 2~3 computers at home without deleting contents in my iphone and ipad.
thanks.

I did some more checking as I still had my old computer online.
I booted and went into iTunes.
Under DEVICES, the TV was listed, along with MUSIC, PHOTOS, PLAYLISTS, much like an iPod/Touch.
When I went into PREFERENCES->TV DEVICES, the TV was listed and on the site, it stated SYNCING.
On the other computer, it listed STREAMING. I did do a RIGHT CLICK on the device and selected "STOP STREAMING" and it disappeard - must RE-PAIR with the unit I guess.
I'm afraid to perform the following, but if someone out there has the equipment, maybe they can check...
Make sure nothing else is managing the TV.
Pair with the unit so you have all sorts of options under the device and it shows 'syncing'.
Now, create a new account and perform the same thing or use another Mac. I believe it will limit you to STREAMING only.
My thoughts are that ONLY ONE computer can sync (just like other device). I have to disconnect the association with the old computer.
Even though I moved everything over with Migration Assistant, I didn't have any issues with managing the iPhones, but I'm wondering if there is a Computer UUID that the AppleTV is TIED to. Since I'm on a different computer UUID, and it's being managed by another one, I'm limited to STREAMING.
Only other choice is to RESET the unit - now, where did my manual go?
Thoughts?
