Does anyone know how delete duplicate songs without manually doing each one

I just reloaded my Itunes collection back into Itunes and now I have 2 of every song in Itunes I have about 10,000 songs so to delete each duplicate will take forever. Anybody have a better idea?

You can download an AppleScript to capture your duplicates in a playlist. Once they're in the list you can decide what to dispose of: Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes

  • I am using system 10.7.3 and my I photo 9.2.3 keeps crashing upon start up.  Does anyone know how to correct this without losing my photos?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

    hiya. thanks for your suggestion. i just tried it and it worked so thanks XD
    i wish apple would make an "exclude" option though tbh.
    i have some others called ... in the name "...soundtrack" (one word) or "hidden track" and "teaching track" !
    i've got another one literally called "track by track walk through" lol
    now im wishing there was just an option to select these oddballs and exclude them individually.
    i cant come up with rules for every single possibility, but i cannnn eliminate those odd songs when i see them if there was an exclude option.
    but thanks anyway xx

  • The volume keys on my Logitech K760 wireless keyboard do not work with my 2.3 GHz, Intel Core i5 Mac mini which runs Mac OS X 10.7.4. Anyone know how to correct this without having to re-code firmware?

    My first post to the Apple Support Community so it looks like all I wanted to know is covered in the title. The research I have done led me to solutions that I am not comfortable trying for fear of irreparably damaging my keyboard and/or Mac mini. Does anyone have a simpler solution? Please? Hellooooo?
    Just in case the title is too long to show, I have re-pasted here:

  • Anyone know how to add audio without image and still use autoplay feature?

    Does anyone know how I can add audio to a webpage without having to add an image and still be able to use the autoplay feature? Adding as hyperlink doesn't accomplish what I'm after. Thanks in advance for the education!

    You can use the "hidden" song file method...

    You don't have to hide it completely if you don't want to - just reduce it to a small dot.

  • My keyboard is no longer lighting up on my macbook pro...does anyone know how to fix this issue manually?

    My backlight on my macbook pro unibody is not working. The lights do not come on. Does anyone know how to fix this manually? Im also missing screes to the back of my computer holding it in shape. My battery needs to be replaced as well. How do i do all of this? Id also like to replace my RAM.

    For the keyboard backlight:
    Have you tried pressing the "lights on" F-key, that has like a half-round rays of light over a bar symbol (currently F6 on my Mac, but may be different on other models)? If it doesn't work, does anything show on the screen?
    If a crossed-out symbol pops up onscreen when you press the F-key, that means that automatic keyboard lighting is enabled and the Mac thinks surroundings are too bright already. Go to System Preferences / Keyboard and uncheck the "Automatically illuminate keyboard..." item, then try again.
    For the screws:
    Visit www.powerbookmedic.com or www.ifixit.com and see in their Mac parts section for a replacement screw set. You will need to know your Mac's model, printed on the bottom lid, to ensure you get the correct parts for that particular computer.
    For the RAM:
    While in either of the two places I mentioned above, visit their How-To / DIY section for instructions on how to replace RAM on your Mac. Then visit www.crucial.com, www.corsair.com, www.kingston.com, www.otherworldcomputing.com or any other RAM maker, use their RAM advisor together with your Mac's model to select the correct RAM upgrade kit for your Mac.

  • Does anyone know how to adjust song playback level to be the same?

    Hi, can anyone please help?
    I use ITunes for my IPod and have the problem that when I listen to my IPod, I find it quite frustrating that the songs are at different levels.
    As IPod users reading this will probably agree, it's not the best thing to be getting your IPod out every few minutes, unlocking it, and re-adjusting the volume. Especially with the security risks that are associated with doing that.
    I have used the 'Sound Check' facility in ITunes but this doesn't seem to fix the problem because the original recordings of some of my songs have been originally recorded at different levels.
    Does anyone know of a way in which you can consolidate the volume level of your library so every song is at the same (or as close as) output level?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    I have also found the "Sound check" option just about useless. For the most part, I have manually adjusted the volume levels by selecting "Get Info" for each song and moving the volume slider (on the "Options" tab).

  • Does anyone know how to transfer songs from my IPOD to my Computer?

    As title, does anyone know if I can transfer all my songs from my Ipod, to my computer. Because the thing is I'm getting an iTouch but I don't have all my songs on my PC, it's all on my ipod.
    So i want to move all my songs from my ipod to my PC, is it even possible?

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

    I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
    On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
    I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
    I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?
