Duplicate and triplicate Library entries after updgrading to Itunes 9.x

After Upgrading to Itunes 9.X I ended up with 2x and 3x entriess for the same song. Is there a way I can delete the Library without deleting the files and rescan the Library. There are 2 many to do it one at a time and I don't wnat to delete my music files.

I'm having issues with this too. I cannot find anywhere instructions on how to force ITunes to do a rescan of the library. This is causing problems, because it had duplicated a lot of stuff, so I did a manual clean up, and now it keeps saying it can't find things.
Quite frankly this has progressed beyond annoyance, and if there was a way to replace ITunes with something else, I would.

TS3999 How can I remove icloud duplicates and triplicates of entries?

My icloud calendar has duplicates and triplicates. How do I remove them to not show up again?

Have you turned off iCal syncing in iTunes for your iphone? You only want to keep iCloud syncing.

How do i delete duplicates from my music library. After updating my iTunes the "Show Duplicates" option does not appear in the menu

If you are on Version 11.0.1 rather than 11 Apple put it back in
View > Show Duplicates
Option + View > Show Exact Duplicates
so if you are on 11 upgrade to 11.0.1 and you will have it

Aperture Imports Duplicates and Triplicates of Photos from my iPhone 6 Plus

When I import photos from my iPhone 6 Plus, Aperture imports duplicates and triplicates of the identical photo randomly. This results in hours of going back through all of the Projects in Aperture and manually deleting the duplicates.
I thought that maybe I was mistaking standard and HDR versions of the same photo, or even burst shots that looked very similar, but this isn't the case. It is the same file name followed by a (1), (2), and sometimes a (3). I also know this isn't the case, because my Camera Roll has about 1,200 photos and videos on it (I stopped importing photos to my hard drive a while ago because of the duplicates, hoping an update would come out to fix the problem), but Aperture tells me that it is going to import over 4,000 photos from my iPhone 6 Plus, not the 1,200 that is on it. This is because of a bug that is double and triple counting many of the photos and videos.
Interestingly enough, Image Capture recognizes only the 1,200 photos on the iPhone, but I'm reluctant to use it because it won't append the Metadata that I have preset in Aperture or automatically run the preset enhancements. I also don't use Image Capture so I'm not sure if it might leave out any Metadata or have some other drawback that I'm not aware of.
So far I've don't he standard troubleshooting, have restarted my iMac and iPhone 6 Plus, ran repair permissions, waited for an update, etc. but I still have the same problem.
I've all but given up on Aperture and am waiting anxiously for the Apple to release the new Photos software, but I need to spend time to work around this bug before then. I can't leave this many photos and videos on my iPhone and need to get them imported into Aperture.
Is there an obvious fix to this that I'm overlooking?

If Image Capture imports correctly, use it to import to a folder and then import that folder to Aperture. You can use the same presets when importing from a folder as when importing from a camera of iPhone.
The same buggy behavior has been reported for iPhoto, since the iOS 8.1 release. It happens in iPhoto, Image Capture, Aperture, but not all are seeing this problem.
For example, see these discussions:
iPhoto Yosemite duplicates Photos while importing from iPhone
iPhoto 9.6 shows duplicate photos present on iPhone
Connecting iPhone duplicates photos in iPhoto
duplicate photos in camera roll on iPhoto
Unfortunately, there is no clear picture yet, what circumstances will make it happen, and how to prevent it.
For some forum members it was the Photo Stream (Duplication upon importation from Iphone to Iphoto), others found it was caused by HDR photos, for some the problem went away after the 8.1.2 update, for others it started with this update.
A few forum members reported, that it helped to dismount the iPhone and plug it in again (iPhoto 9.6 shows duplicate photos present on iPhone), and then the duplicates went away. One member reported, that Apple Support claimed this problem to be caused by iCloud iPhoto libary (Beta), and indeed turning off iCloud iPhoto libary (Beta) made he duplicates vanish for him.

HT4236 Photos duplicate and triplicate on syncing iPhone or iPad

For some reason I have duplicate and triplicate images of the same photo on my iPhone and iPad after syncing with iTunes. I have tried deleting them by syncing and removing the photos check box and then starting over with a new sync, but they are still there.

Thanks Jim .... do you think rsync running by cron would do it? Then also, would it create problems overwriting files that are used in the management of the content if both computers are using iTunes at the same time?
That was my next thought, well, even if I was not going to be able to do this I still want to sync all the data on both systems ... then I have an additional backup as well.
Thanks.
By the way, it is my portable devices, iPhone and iPad that I want to sync, you got that I think.

ITunes won't stop creating duplicates and triplicates in my library!

My issue is that iTunes is creating duplicates of my songs. Over and over and over again. I have the preferences set so that it is saving everything in one folder, etc. It still happens. In fact, not only are there duplicates, there are 4 and 5 copies of songs. I've gone and deleted the duplicates, and then when I go to play the remaining file out of the library, it says it can't find it.....it's really bizarre. At first it wasn't that big of a deal, but now I have several gigs of hard drive space taken up by duplicate songs. It's a nightmare.
Here's some additional info about my setup; I hope this helps.
Windows XP Home OS
iTunes version 7.7 (was also happening with previous versions)
I store all of my music on an external Maxtor USB hard drive
I periodically sync my iPod classic
I occasionally use Airtunes
Please help! Anybody?!?!

did you ever figure this one out? my album folders contain one set of duplicate music files in them. glad it's only one set of duplicates at this point, but that's still double the pain in the a**.
i could spend an hour or two "fixing" this, but i dont want it to happen again...

Duplicate and triplicate e-mails

Hello everyone, Sorry if I'm in the wrong forum. I am at wits end trying to figure out how to avoid or stop duplicate, triplicate and sometimes even four times receipt of the same e-mail from everyone, whether they are in my address book or not. My service is through SBC Yahoo DSL. I use Safari as a browser and Entourage as the default e-Mail. I am spending way too much time deleting all of this unwanted e-mail. Will someone out there help me please?
Thank you
Roland

I use Apple Mail as my primary mail client for multiple POP and IMAP accounts, and I have not seen duplicate (or triplicate) emails. Are you bound to using Entourage? Have you tried using Apple Mail instead of Entourage? Apple Mail supports POP, IMAP, and Exchange, so perhaps this duplicate message behavior will go away if you switch mail clients.
Also, you might try posting on http://discussions.info.apple.com/tiger.mail/ as it's more related to problems with mail.

HT1751 Followed instructions on how to consolidate iTunes library, move to external hard drive and restore library back up but my iTunes is still empty.

Recently bought a new macbook pro and obviously the first thing I want to do is move over my itunes library from my PC and keep my playcount.
The instructions I followed are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
As I got down to Step 7 in 'Restoring your iTunes Library backup', I chose my iTunes library file and waited for everything to be restored but then nothing came up on my iTunes. My iTunes is still empty.
Is there perhaps another way for me to transfer my iTunes library and my playcount will still be retained? Help on this would be greatly appreciated.

E and F drives disappear after I install iTunes and Quick Time

Whenever I install iTunes/Quick Time on my computer, my E and F drives "disappear" and I have no way of accessing them or playing CDs/DVDs. The only way I know how to get them back is to restore my computer to an earlier date. When I do that, I no longer have iTunes/Quick Time on my computer. My computer is an HP Pentium 4 with Windows XP.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this problem? It drives me crazy and I can't update my iPod Shuffle very often because of what I have to go through to get my drives back when I'm done. I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

First since you have done restores, you need to goto microsofts windows update site and update windows. Then goto the PC makers site and install all updates for your model, especailly BIOs IDE controller and CD/DVD ROM updates.
After that install itunes.
Then rightclick "My COmputer" hit Manage>Device manager and see if theres a "Code 41" error message showing beside your CD DVD Drives

Address book and calendar not synchronized after upgrade to iTunes 11.0

Mac OS X 10.6.8.
iPhone 4
After upgrading to iTunes 11.0, the address book and iCal do not synchronize between iPhone and iMac.
I have already restarted both devices in vain.
Thanks for help

I have only the problem with iCal, not with the contact application.
I don't know when it started but I have iTunes 11.0.1 (12) and iOS 6.1 on my iPhone 4
The modification on my iPhone calendar are not on my iMac, but the other way works.
It really looks like a bug !!!!!! :-(

TS2972 Troubleshoot HOME SHARING. Everything is connected. Everything is up to date. Everything is turned on. Everthing is enabled and My network works!! The ONLY thing that is not working is Home Sharing and this JUST happened after I updated iTunes.

I had NO problem with Home Sharing until I updated iTunes. INSTANTLY, Home Sharing quit. I have two AppleTV's, two computers running Win7 and iTunes. All have worked seamlesly until I updated iTunes last night. I have tried all of the Home Sharing trouble shooting suggestion with no luck. My network connections are good and I can stream EVERYTHING ( Netflix, Youtube, NetRadio etc ) EXCEPT I cannont connect to Home Sharing. What gives Apple Support? Where is the fix? Anyone?

Has there been any response that helped? Why hasn't someone from Apple responded with a solution? This post was created back in 2012 and I did an update on my iTunes to 12.1.1.4 and all of a sudden my Home Sharing stopped working. I even reset my settings on my Apple TV hoping that would work and no, it didnt. Does anyone have a solution?

After restoring my 3Gs I now have duplicate--sometimes triplicate calendar entries. How can I delete the duplicates from the phone?

On the info tab I'm told that my calendar is being synced through MobileMe and directly with the computer resulting in duplicated data. How do I prevent that? And how do I now delete the duplicates from the phone?
I notice that the entries from the computer show "Busy" in the status while the others--probably from MobileMe-- do not.
Ron

Solved the problem...I think. In the Calendar app I clicked on the Calendars button. There I found, under Show All Calendars "From My Mac." There I found not only the calendars as they appear in iCal and MobileMe, but the same items with brackets containing my MobileMe address plus other info that isn't visible enough to see what it is (looks like "@calendar).

HT3783 Does anybody know why my calendar in Outlook Office for Mac duplicates and triplicates entries in the calendar? I would be really grateful for any explanation... Kind regards Kate

Does anybody know why my calendar keeps duplicating diary entries in Outlook office for Mac?
Many thanks in anticipation.
Kate

No dont worry i am not going to copy this. The reason i am asking is to see if it is legal or not, its worth getting a discount if its available. Looks like its a no though. If you ask me NUS should be prosecuted because you can be minimum age of 16 and get an NUS card and it says on their site under the link to apple store 'are you a student in further education. If so why not take advantage of a 15% discount on apple products'. (or somethign alogn those lines) Now me and my mate are but we arent over 18. Ive emailed them to try and get a confirmation. Anyone know an email address that i can contact apple directly about this with? Also any more answers to the original post are welcome.
I would also like to know if i can get any sort of discount on apple products whilst under the age of 18, whether straight through apple or using for example NUS cards.

ITunes 6 - cleaning out duplicates and triplicates?

Sorry if this has been covered before. I am using iTunes 6.0.4 (3) and I am still a newbie to the Mac OSX and iTunes. I am slightly irritated that all of the entries in my iTunes library are dublicates or triplicates. Is there any way I can change this without individually unchecking hundreds of files? Do I have to clear out the libraries and start again? All of the music files are being networked from a Windows XP Pro SP2 desktop. Thanks for any help...

Hi,
No.

How to delete duplicate and triplicate Music Videos in itunes?

Hi, I have 3 music videos, two of which are in triplicate, and one that is duplicated. How can I delete them? When I have my music video playlist open, delete is not highlighted as a viable "tool" or command to choose (not in dark black/it is grey). In the list, have unchecked all but one of each so dup/ trips won't sync to my Ipod but I need every morsel of memory I can get on this PC. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
Thank you, SP

Hi Alan, I noticed that my music videos were also listed just as music in the library and from there I was able to delete the dup's and trips. Thanks for your information.
