Duplicate songs in iTunes (not from iCloud!!!)

Hello!
Just I have solved one problem (some songs from iTunes won't sync with my iPhone)
Sudenly have appeared another one: hundreds of my songs are duplicated.
I was surfing in internet with an idea to find a solution, one solution that I found it was to "Show iTunes in the iCloud purcheses" it ok, theres was not any tick. But songs are always duplicated.
Could anyone help me to decide this problem, please.

You can't read one part and ignore what followed. "went back into the purchased tab in itunes and the songs are still there."
He was only seeing the songs he had purchased on his account, which could be redownloaded.
If that's what you're talking about, you're just as foolish.

My ipod touch is unable to download songs off itunes or from icloud ...what do I do?

ever since I got the new update (which actually restored my Ipod losing all my pictures) I have not been able to sync my songs from itunes or even purchased songs from icloud. If I cannot fix my Ipod I dont know what I'm going to do with all the songs I have purchased from itunes.

A restore has nothing to do with pressing or holding any buttons on the device.
A reset is holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
If the backup completed successfully, a restore will put it back exactly as it was.
Although, any semi-intelligent person would be regularly importing the pictures from their device to their computer. Relying on a single device like a phone that can easily be lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair is extremely unintelligent.

If I download a song, album or playlist from iCloud to an iTunes Match enable device, can I delete the download at a later date if I need to free up memory on the device?

How do we delete duplicates songs easily and not one at a time in iTunes?

how do we delete duplicate songs easily and not one by one in iTunes?

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

Please assist

You don't really delete app that way, that way to stop backup for that app in icloud.
You need to delete it from your home screen and then while it still will look like download from icloud - app will start fresh.
However if app uses any account sign in the stuff that is attached to sign in will come back, so if you do not want to you need to use
fresh account as well.

Is there a way to "merge" duplicate songs in iTunes 11?

Turns out I have numerous duplicate songs in iTunes (which has been problematic for iCloud). I'm only finding one way to handle them: delete them manually. However, if I do this, it also deletes the song from any Playlist the song's in.
Is there a way to "merge" any dupes, so that my Playlists will remain intact?
Thanks.

Here's a way to do what you're trying to do:
Control-click on one of the duplicate songs. Scroll down and look under "Add to Playlist". There may be a "Show in Playlist" entry there. If there is, that song is in at least one playlist (which you can see by clicking the right arrow). If there is no "Show in Playlist" entry, that song is not in a playlist.

Can I download my iTunes library (from iCloud) in it's entirety if I have a hard drive crash?

Can I download my iTunes library (from iCloud) in it's entirety if I have a hard drive crash?

You can download the music from iCloud using the download arrows besides the songs - see the iTunes help:
Play or download songs from iCloud
You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
To play the song, double-click it.
To download the song, click the Download button.
After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides anyprevious iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.

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.

All songs in itunes not playing

A few real bad problems here!
1. I am running Itunes 12.0.1.26 on a PC with Windows 8.1 it's a Dell.
*after almost a year of trouble recovering all of my playlists that had gone missing due to an itunes error I was happy to find myself two days ago with itunes operational...all of my 10s of 1,000s of songs listed properly and all of my playlists appearing fine. Every song was there...itunes knew the location of each song.
BUT, now whenever I click on ANY song, itunes doesn't play it(I neither hear it nor does it appear in the top bar with the timeline moving)...this goes for ALL SONGS IN ITUNES - purchased from itunes, imported into itunes, other formats, same problem in all cases.
What I can tell you: The computer is authorized, this is not just an audio problem(system sounds is fine, headphones are fine, other programs sound is ok).
the only other thing I can say is that in recent months I get this error every single time I open ITUNES:
itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration -
I click out of it and everything works fine, for months. I looked up how to resolve that error message appearing here and deleted quicktime and reinstalled. That is the only other recent change I have made here?
I would really , really appreciate any help on this! So frustrated with the volume of itunes errors...if this doesn't work I am going to take a week off from work and move my library to Google play or other! Thanks, PJ

Hi pjholt,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with iTunes; I know how frustrating that can be, especially if it was working fine just a short while ago. If none of your music is playing in iTunes, but you are not getting an error about iTunes being unable to locate the files, you may have an audio configuration issue (which would also support the error message you had been seeing). If that is the case, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

I tried to delete all of my duplicate songs in iTunes and it deleted all of my music. Is there a way i get my music back?

From the backup you maintain in case something drastic happens to your collection as it surely will when your drive crashes, the computer is stolen, etc.?
Are the files in the trash? I don't let iTunes manage my music so when I delete a track I have to hunt down the file, drag it to the trash, and empty the trash in order to get rid of it. I don't know how iTunes does it for others.

Why do some of the songs on iTunes not transfer to my iPhone when I drag and attempt to drop them?

Why do some of the songs on iTunes not transfer to my iPhone when I drag and attempt to drop them?

No one hear has any idea why you are having a problem without a lot more information. Have you checked Sync only checked songs? Have you checked "Manually manage music and videos"? Are ANY songs transferrring, or None? Are all of the songs purchased with the same iTunes account? ARE they purchased iTunes songs or from another source? Are you using the same computer all the time (the iPhone can sync music from only one computer at a time)?

How can I view duplicate songs in iTunes 11?

How can I view duplicate songs in iTunes 11?

If needed press ctrl-b to reveal the menu bar. Use Shift-View > Show Exact Duplicates to reveal the duplicates. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send 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.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. 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.

How to delete all duplicate songs in Itunes in one step?

How to delete all duplicate songs in Itunes in one step?

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

How can I delete duplicate songs in Itunes ?

How can i delete duplicate songs in Itunes ?

I have the same problem, where my music library shows duplicates of just about everything I put in iTunes now. It began about a month ago. As far as looking at Date Added, well they are duplicates all put on at the same time. It isn't a matter of the title showing up later, or my having accidentally added the same song twice (say, from different sources or compilations). This is a problem with Apple I think because it just began a month ago and I changed no settings, nor did I do anything else. It just began to happen out of the blue. Anyone know about this?
