Easiest way to get rid of duplicates & make sure none of them are !
Ok I have some duplicates through out iTunes.
Whats the easiest way to get rid of all of the duplicates?
I also want to make sure there are no ! in my iTunes, so how do I make sure if there are two files I am deleting the ! if there happens to be one & not the actual full file?
I may have a mixture of legit duplicates & some duplicates with just the ! associated with the 2nd file.
The second part of the question is best tackled first...
*Adding new items/removing orphans*
Try iTunes Folder Watch or iTunes Library Updater. Folder Watch is much faster on the adding files front, can be set to run in the background and includes a useful exclusion feature, however it’s really slow at removing orphans. iTLU is better for this although doing it manually after looking at a list of proposed removals generated by Folder Watch is probably faster still. iTLU can also be set to update iTunes when you've used 3rd party tools to change tag info.
Once you've got rid of any redundant ! entries (and recovered any "lost" files) then you can either remove duplicates manually using the *Show Duplicates* feature and removing all but one of each repeated track, or alternatively look for a tool to to this automatically. Teridon's itunesremoveduplicates is one, but I can't say I've tested it personally and from the decription might only remove multiple entries to the same physical file. I'm sure there are others out there...

Is there an easy way to get rid of duplicates in your music library?
Is there an easy way to get rid of duplicates in your music library?
Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to 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.
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 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)

What is the best way to get rid of duplicates in the XML data?
Hi all,
Please help me with the best way to get rid of the duplicates in the XML data. Will a transform with some stylesheet do the trick? I need to read on the stylesheet first, but please tell me if that is possible. I have to deal with XML data that has tons of duplicate data. Please see one section of an XML file. You can see that for each charge, the same defendant information (address, ID numbers, etc) is included. Having 10 charges is not uncommon, so I would have the same data repeated 10 times. I first thought that I would use some temp tables to do that, but I wonder if there were a better way. Thanks a lot. Please see the data below.

Getting rid of duplicate songs: a lot of them!
I've imported my iTunes songs from my old PC to my new iMac but everything has been duplicated so now there is two of every song!!
It's a nightmare deleting each one separately, so any suggestions for a quick solution? Should I delete the lot and then import them again by connecting my iPod?
Any ideas gratefully received!
Tracey
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.4)If your entire library is on your iPod, it's probably the easiest way to restore the library.
Download Senuti or iPodRip or similar application. You can find the latest versions on versiontracker.com
Proceed with caution. I don't want to feel responsible for possible loss of your library.
If you have set up your iPod to automatically update, set it to manual update first.
Or (this is from the Keyboard Shortcuts)
iPod shortcuts
Prevent iPod from automatically updating when you connect it to your computer
Command-Option as you connect the iPod to your computer (hold the keys down until the iPod appears in the iTunes Source list)
Then run one of the applications you downloaded and transfer the contents to your computer.
There are other methods to get rid of the duplicates, but the approach to delete them depends on what kind of duplicates you have.
Do you have duplicate song files or duplicate entries in the library.
Hope this helps.

How do i get rid of duplicate songs on my ipad that are not in itunes
I have multiple devices and recently joined iCloud and iMatch. My problem is that on my iPhone 4 and iPad when I connect they show that I have 4800 songs on them. I only have 1400. The extra songs are not on itunes and are not on the devices. If I select the device drop down and the look at music I can see all 4800 and it's multiple duplicates of songs that I own with a Syncing symbol by them. I can not select them, delete them or anything. But they are taking up space on my devices according to iTunes. iDeas? This is on a PC Win 7
RobertHello courtney_rae33,
It sounds like you have deleted song music from your iTunes library on the computer but after syncing the phone to your computer the songs are still on the phone. From what you describe it seems as if iTunes and the iPhone are set to Manually Manage the content. This article will help you determine of that is the case:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
Connect the device to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. If your device isn't visible in the upper right corner of the screen, choose Library.
Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos."
Click Apply.
Manually add or remove content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
After following the steps above, you can add individual songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your device. To add content to your device:
Select your device.
Click "On this Device."
Then choose "Add to" in the upper right corner.
While viewing the media in your iTunes library, if you drag a song, video, TV show, or Movie a sidebar will appear on the right. You can drag content onto the device. You can also create and modify playlists directly on the device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

I don't know if this is the appropriate forum to ask this question....if it is not please guide me to the correct support forum. I am just trying to find out if there is an easier way of getting rid of duplicate files in my Windows Media Player 11.
Also how do I prevent my Media player from obtaining all these duplicate files from other libraries. I have iTunes installed and my home network has four other computers belonging in the home group that have all their own respective music libraries.
I guess I was naïve but I thought that when Windows Media Player is out searching other libraries it would know not to take duplicates of songs that it has already. Enough said .....if anyone out there can help me that would be great. I have in
the past spent many hours manually deleting songs from my music files and it really got old.Unfortunately your post is off topic here, in the TechNet Site Feedback forum, because it is not Feedback about the TechNet Website or Subscription.

Can I get rid of duplicate or empty folders in contacts without using a computer?
Is there a way to get rid of duplicate folders and empty folders in contacts without using a computer?
If you don't have iTunes you will need to buy the song from the iTunes store and download it that way. If it is a custom track you may be out of luck. The only way to get a song on your device without iTunes involves jailbreaking it.
iOS is set up to prevent people from emailing each other songs, videos, movies, books, etc. This is how Apple got their contracts with the content providers by promising that they would do what ever it takes to prevent people from sharing content that they didn't pay for. -

Many duplicates are in my Photos. Is there a way to get rid of them not deleting one by one or dozen by dozen?
It seems, in old times we could make path to the original file from the IPhoto browser, couldn't we?
There is another question. If I succeed deleting duplicates from the Iphoto library with some third-party program, does it mean that I really free my hard disk of them? Will they disappear from Photos also? -

Whoever thought this new search box GUI was a good idea was mistaken IMHO.
I've used the method shown above to return it to the old constant icon/text display with instantly available drop down of my alternative chosen search engines. All back to how it was in the previous version. Yay!
Displaying the chosen default search engine icon/text in the search box just seems a better and more sensible GUI feature to me than needing to hover over the box to show the same information (minus icon) . As for having to start entering search terms before the other search engine options become available - that is just plain ill conceived design.
The old design is more user friendly and should be the default setting but if some users want the new GUI for the search box why not include that under Tools > Options? -

The apple algorithm for detecting duplicates is not great. I did this yesterday on a library which had got bloated by various itunes 'organisations' and had 15000 songs in it and downloaded idupe. It seemed to work very well and got me down to 10,000 songs. 8USD shareware.
