Duplication of songs in my new I-Tunes library

I don't know why numerous songs are duplicated in my new I-tunes library on my new Dell computer. Others have single entries. Some of the duplicated song entries have an "exclamation point" next to them. I don't know what that means. When I tried to delete the DUPLICATE songs from my I-Tunes library, then the REMAINING song entry would not PLAY...and the message said that the SONG could no longer be found on my computer.
I still have the DELETED songs in my recycle bin and I could restore them. But I also wonder if they are in DUPLICATE IN MY I TUNES LIBRARY, are they taking up more memory space?
Any help is dearly appreciated

If one copy of each duplicate has the same Date Added, then you could sort the list of duplicates by that date and delete the ones with, or without, that date

How do I import existing song libraries to my I tunes library?

How do I import existing song libraries to my I tunes library?

Due to recent security issues and identify theft (mostly due to phishing scams), the iTunes Store seems to be requiring more frequent verification of address information, even if you have a balance from a prepaid card. Either just go through the verification process or, if you have a credit card entered and don't expect to need to use it anytime soon, go into the Payment information in your account and set the payment method to "none" which should then stop the regular requirements for verification. If it still asks - my account does - just click through the buttons and it should verify without problems.
Hope this helps.

One way friends of mine have done it....use iTunes to burn a music CD with the songs (presuming it can still do that, haven't tried it in a while)
THen close iTunes and open windows media player. Use that to convet the CD file to MP3 (media player's default is to pull things in as wma, so you may need to change the preferences to mp3, or i'm pretty sure wma's work in power points)
Once media player converts the format you can insert it into your powerpoint.

I was told at the apple store to open a new I-Tunes library and transfer the music from the old library to the new. He thinks there is a problem with the old library as it keeps corrupting the i-pod. Any ideas on how???

Was told by the person at the APple store today to open new library on I-tunes - he felt the current library has something wrong and that opening a new library and transferring the music to there would perhaps prevent the ipod from becoming corrupt. Any ideas how to do this???

Need more info, if you want better response.
What do you mean by corrupting the iPod?
What is wrong with your iPod?
Which version of iTunes are you using?
What is the iPod software version as shown in the iTunes summary page?
Have a nice day!

HT1451 When I try to open i tunes i get an error message saying 'new i tunes library'. I then can't open it

When I try to open i tunes it brings up an error message saying 'new itunes library'. It does not open then. Can anyone help?

I have windows 7. I went into control panel, then select programs, then select programs & features. Highlight 'iTunes' from the list. Then select 'repair'. The program will then reconfigure iTunes. Once complete I restarted the computer and everything was ok.

CAN I EXPORT SONGS, THAT WERE NOT PURCHASED FROM I-TUNES, FROM MY I-POD TO MY I-TUNES LIBRARY?

IS THERE A WAY THAT I CAN TRANSFER MY MUSIC FROM MY I-POD TO MY NEW I-TUNES LIBRARY? I WANT TO TRANSFER MY SONGS THAT I HAD BURNED FROM CDS, NOT JUST MUSIC PURCHASED FROM I-TUNES.

I have lost most of my i tunes library. Many of the lost songs are are my ipod. What happens if I load plug my ipod into the computer? Will I erase whats on the ipod because there'll be no match found on my itunes library. Or..will I be allowed to mov

I have lost my i tunes library. Many of my lost songs are on my two nano i pods.
Since I have lost my i tunes library I have re-installed most songs. However I have a large number of songs on my i pods which I would like to retrieve. If I try to load my i pods to my computer will I lose the songs which I could not get re-installed to my library but are on the i pods. Since I lost my library I have not re-introduced my i pods for updating since they too will likely have to be re-installed. Will I lose the songs already in the i pods if have to re-introduce them to my computer. A solution to this problem would be for me to transfer my lost library songs from the i pod to my library. Can this be done?
1) Is it possible to retrieve songs from a lost i tunes library? Withoutout re-loading the entire library (since I have done this manually).
2) What happens if I re-introduce my i pods to the computer? Will this cause me to lose the present i pod installed music?
3) Can I transfer my lost songs and albums from my i pods to the i tunes library?

As you will have discovered, the music sync is only one way, from iTunes to the iPod, minus iTunes purchases. On top of that, an iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.

HT4061 After installing the latest version of I Tunes I no longer get the total number of songs in my I Tunes library?

After I Installed Itunes V. 11.1.3.8 on Windows 7 I no longer receive the total number on songs stored in my I Tunes Library. This is an important metric in maintaining and managing my I Tunes library.
Thanks, any help appreciated.

Try de-syncing all of your music to remove it from the device. Then reset the device (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go) and try syncing everything again.

How do I transfer files from my I Pod to I Tunes library on a new computer without erasing what I have copied to my I Pod already?

How do I transfer music files from my I Pod to a new I Tunes library which I've just set up on our new compute, r without erasing the files which exist on the I Pod already?

- Transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

I created a new i tunes account and I am trying to add music to my I pod touch but since I had an old account it will not let me add any new songs or let me transfer my existing songs to the new account. I also purchased one song and it did not download

I just opened a new I tunes account. The music that I purchased from an old account will not transfer to my new account & the old account email no longer exists it is (djbdeercreek613@com***t.net) and the password would not be accepted when we entered it. I also purchased one song "Country Must Be Country Wide" By Brentley Gilbert and it did not download to my i-pod. please let me know how I can get this problem taken care of.
Thank you

Apple IDs do not go out of existence. All purchases are PERMANENTLY associated with whatever ID was used for the purchase. Go here to investigate.

I Tunes library on original computer that is lost . Downloaded I Tunes using my ID and password on new Dell computer . It has three songs in the library I never purchased and the library of all my songs is not there . My songs are on my I Pod . What to do

original PC out of action and cannot access or use at all . Downloaded I Tunes on new PC using ID and Password . It appeared with 3 songs I never heard of and never purchased . Where is my library of songs majority purchased from I Tunes . Library on my I Pod but I do not wish to risk synching and losing everything . Cannot find anywhere that it explains this situation . Help please

The three music came with your operating system.
Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

Try putting the files back where they were before you moved them, then follow the steps in this Apple document -> iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
