What's best way to reveal all my duplicate images or movie files? I want to delete duplicates....
Thanks.

  • Easy Way to Delete Duplicates?

    Can someone please tell me if there's an easier way to delete duplicates in my iTunes Library than selecting each of them individually and removing them to the trash? I'm sure there is but I can't seem to get beyond having iTunes show me the duplicates.
    Thanks,
    Beth

    Have a look at Doug's AppleScripts there are a couple of scripts there to help manage duplicates. Search the page for "Corral iTunes Dupes" and "Corral All dupes": Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes
    Doug also has a shareware application called Dupin specifically for managing duplicates, you can get it here: Dupin

  • Easy way to remove duplicate songs

    After a no of ITunes disasters (most of which I suspect were my fault) I have no ended up with a full library which has a lot of duplicates songs. Being an essentially lazy person is there an easier way to sort them rather than simply displaying the duplicates and deleting one by one

    There is a duplicate removal script here:
    http://mysite.verizon.net/teridon/itunesscripts/
    I doesn't appear to have been tested with the latest itunes although it would probably work OK.
    Always backup you files before doing this kind of thing in case you don't like the result.

  • Is there an easy way to eliminate duplicate tracks from iTunes on a mac?

    All of a sudden I have over 6,500 duplicate tracks in my iTunes.  Not entire albums but many tracks from an album are duplicated.  Is there an easy way to get rid of these tracks or do I have to do this one by one?  Also why would this be happening? I have "Keep iTunes Media Organized" checked as well as "Copy files to iTunes when adding to library".

    It is hard to say why.  iTunes is unlikely to do this all its own and there is probably something you did like add a folder that is not part of the current media collection thinking it needed adding, but it had already been added in the past.
    There is no simple, universal panacea for duplicates.  You can try some of the suggestions below.

    Posts by turingtest2 about different types of duplicates and techniques- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3555601 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/16042406 (Note: The DeDuper script is for Windows)
    Frankly, I would do it manually.  As you can see from turingtest2's post, some duplicates are not really duplicates and I would rather do it manually than discover that a script had removed my only copy of a file (yes, I have backups but I may not notice for a year or so a file is no longer there, by which time I would have overwritten the backup because I do not have drive space for storing a year's worth of weeky iTunes backups tens of GB in size).
    I would also review how you add media to iTunes.  It should not be producing all that many duplicates.

  • Is there an easy way to remove duplicates in my Mac OS X Mail mailboxes?

    Having imported some mailboxes from other applications I find that there are many duplicate messages in Mail mailboxes. I know this comes about from my lack of care in importing. I'd like to eliminate the duplicates, but obviously doing so one by one would be quite a task. I have little expectation that there's an easy way to do this, but I can always hope. Is there a way? Thanx,
    Ken

    Mail Scripts was a good suggestion but I doesn't work. Well what do you expect with freeware. I ran the duplicate catcher script several times, once on a rather large mailbox which I know contains hundreds of duplicates and it found 1 (one). As suggested I checked "Take all accounts offline" before I ran the script. Does anyone know a different program that can eliminate those duplicates? I'd really appreciate one that works.

  • Easy way to remove duplicate photos?  Many of my photos suddenly have 4 or more duplicates.

    Does anyone know of an easy way to clean up duplicate photos on iPhoto?  Suddenly have many, amany duplicates.

    What did you just do? Did you by anychance change systems and import an old iPhoto library into the new one? NEVER do that  - if you did drag the bad iPhoto library to the desktop and drag the old library to the pictures foldr of the new machine and launch iPhoto
    In general use Duplicate Annihalitor or DeCloner to handle duplicates in iPhoto

  • Is there a new way to Display Duplicates in iTunes 11?

    Used to be under file Display Duplicates but now it is gone.  Anyone found the new way?  Is there one?  Did they really take away that functionality??

    I not this is no consolation, and I am upset that this functionaliy is missing. But I think the best thing we can do is let them know that we want it back. I've already sent off a feedback form to Apple. I'm sure it'll fall on deaf ears, but maybe if enough people do it asking for "Display Duplicates" back mayb we'll see it in an update. You can fill out a feedback form for iTunes here http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Is there an easy way to remove duplicates in my library?

    Hi there, since I first started using my ipod, I've had a new laptop. Having finally figured out (with your help!) how to move the songs from my ipod to the library on my new laptop, I did the transfer but it's duplicated loads of the tracks.
    Is there an easy way to remove them/stop that from happening?
    Any suggestions? Ta Legs xxx

    You'll find a script here.

  • Easy way to display lookup value of a foreign key reference vs value itself

    I've figured out how to do this for a Form
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/htmldb/t_lov_list_values_master_parent_child.htm
    ...but not for a report which lists the data row by row.
    Given table Centre with the following columns:
    ID
    Name
    Department_ID
    and given table Department with the following columns:
    ID
    Name
    When the report runs on the Centre table it simply queries ID, Name and Department_ID from the database, and then displays each column as is.
    Instead of displaying the Department_ID from the Centre table (which is a number and not very informational), how can I make it display the Name from the department table?
    I have lots of other similar fields which need to be displayed in this way so I'm hoping there isn't a ton of configuration/coding I need to do.

    Hi,
    Try report query
    SELECT a.id,
      a.name,
      b.name dept_name
    FROM centre a,
      department b
    WHERE a.department_id = b.idBr,Jari

  • Is there a fast easy way to delete duplicate songs?

    I recently transfered my library to my new computer. In the process I somehow added all the music and all of my playlists causing me to have many duplicate files. Is there a way to wipe out all the duplicates?

    You could have a look at Teridon's iTunes Scripts, Robert has a script in there for dealing with duplicates which might be of some help: Teridon's iTunes for Windows Scripts

  • Easier way to display report POVs - Financial reporting

    Currently I add a text box in the lower left hand corner of each report and type in the POVs used for the report.
    For example:
    POVs
    Version: <<MemberAlias('Grid1', Version)>>
    Business Line: <<MemberAlias('Grid1', BusinessLine)>>
    Is there are way to generate this similar to when export to excel from a Financial Snapshot? Pretty tedious ( I save it as a reporting object but still have to tweak based on different POVs per report)
    thanks
    JTS

    I believe my text boxes export as well... but then, I do not use the snapshot, I run the report as an export from the live report book.

  • Ical Duplicate on iPhone any easy way to delete with out computer?

    any easy way to delte duplicate Ical entries on iPhone without home computer?

    The quick way is when you imprort them to an app on your computer, usually there is the option to delete everything on the phone that was imported.  If you declined that option, then you have to do it one by one or manualy select in edit mode.

  • Help: there is a way to delete duplicate files in itune?

    every time when im importing music on my itunes is storing the files in the itunes music folder. now i have to backup this folder and the size is more than 80GB. i found that there are many duplications of songs. is there any easy way to delete duplicate files and songs that are unchecked from itunes playlist?
    thank you

    Robert Jacobson has written a duplicate removal script which you can download here:
    http://mysite.verizon.net/teridon/itunesscripts/
    You imply that your duplicates are unchecked. You can create a playlist containing unchecked tracks. This would allow easy manual deletion.
    You need two playlists.
    First create a smart playlist called "checked" containing checked items:
    Uncheck "Match the following rule"
    Check "Match only checked items"
    Live updating checked
    Next create a playlist with the following rule:
    Playlist is not checked.
    Match only checked items not checked.
    Live updating checked
    This second playlist should have all your unchecked tracks in it.
    Then you can use shift del to delete the tracks from you library.

  • Is there a way to detect duplicates?

    I have several Albums that are very large. Is there an easy way to detect duplicates within the same Album in iPhoto?
    Thanks

    Here's my updated review of duplicate finder apps:
    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates:  PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.
