Getting rid of songs listed twice in iTunes library?

Is there any way to do this without manually deleting every other song that i mistakenly added to my library?

Hey again,
Don MacQueen is right, maybe it would be worth the time to do it manually.
How many "!" songs do you have?
Another question, are you sure the "!" have duplicates, if yes, do they work?
By the way, when my songs and TV Shows had a "!", it was because they did not download, or got transfered from iPod/other computer to my computer, properly.
You should check your purchase history and try to download them again, or contact the iTunes team.

  • Some songs listed in my iTunes Library won't play

    I'm running iTunes 8.0.2.20 on Windows XP SP3.
    My iTunes library is set to be located in the default place, i.e.
    C:\Documents and Settings\<my user name>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    It's fairly large (11833 songs to date).
    I regularly sync my 160GB iPod classic with it.
    Recently I have been finding that various songs listed in my iTunes library will not play - if I click to play them, nothing happens.
    If I right-click on them (Get Info) and follow the listed path to where they are in my library, I go use Windows Explorer to access the underlying MP3 in a different application (e.g. WinAmp) and the MP3s do seem to be present and correct and play fine in WinAmp.
    So far all the songs this has happened with have been ones which were ripped off my CDs to MP3 before I got the iPod, and subsequently imported into iTunes.
    Any suggestions as to what is going on and how to repair it?
    Obviously, I can manually delete the songs that won't play from iTunes, then re-import them all over again from the original CD..... but this is a bit time-consuming (especially where I have customized the metadata and artwork beyond what is in the Gracenote® database)....and with over 10 thousand songs in my library, there's no way to test them all easily to see which ones work and which don't.
    Is my library getting corrupted in some way?
    Is there a way to rebuild it somehow? (without losing my customized metadata and artwork?)

    Yes, actually lots of folks. iTunes 8 has gotten really fussy about MP3 tags and won't play or even add them to the library if it doesn't care for their format. They may have played in previous versions, but won't now.
    Use Mp3 Validator to fix any tag issues. It's a free DL. I've used it, and it works.
    Just try it on one song and you'll believe!
    Here is a good web article on it:

  • How can I get rid of songs listed as shadow/grey letters in my music that I have removed?

    Songs that should have been removed is still there. This is music that's not in iCloud. It happend when I change Itunes to another PC. Some songs are even listed two times.

    I was only able to get rid of this, on my iPhone 6+ running 8.0.2, after restoring my phone via iTunes. This was after spending 90 minutes with Apple support.

    Hi there,
    It sounds like you may need to hide these purchases in the iTunes Store in order to prevent them from displaying on the Apple TV. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • How do I get rid of songs from my phone?

    Like whenever I want to delete a song from my phone, it shows the icloud sign. When I shuffle the music, it will still play the song. I just want to get rid of them off my phone so it won't play it ever again. I have ios 7.0.4. I know in ios 6 when you delete a song, it goes away from your library. How do I get rid of songs on ios 7 and not keep playing them?

    I think there must be a bug somewhere.  Some songs I can delete and they disappear.  But none of my attempts to remove the Justin Timberlake song from Apple's 12 days of gifts have gotten me very far.  I can 'delete' it so that it is listed as needing to be downloaded again.  But it seems to be just marked as deleted.  If I turn off 'Show all music' in my Settings, the song remains there, but no longer has the cloud icon beside it, but also will not swipe to show the delete button.  If I turn 'Show all music' back on, the cloud icon reappears.  Regardless the song will play, even in airplane mode.  So it is clearly still on my iPad.
    I have tried resetting my iPad - changes nothing.  Apple seems determined that we keep this song!
    Also, since I attempted to delete the song immediately after it downloaded, it doesn't appear on my iMac iTunes synch page.  So I can't try to get rid of it that way.
    Very frustrating.

  • Get rid of these Genius-Mixes in iTunes-Match

    Hi Folks,
    I'd really like to get rid of These Genius-Mixes in my iTunes-Match library. I've already tried to erase them on my PC via iTunes and synchronisation, but I didn't suceed.
    And unlike the other lists, you can't touch them until the X-Button appears.
    Could anybody please help me to get rid of these lists?
    Best thanks for your help and Kind regards!
    Rainer

    This is what I did and it fixed my three that didn't have working iMatch Genius:
    ( I don't know what if any fixed this )
    I turned off iMatch on only one iPhone, my 5s, I left the 4s and iPad alone.
    I turned it back on.
    Still no iMatch Genious
    I clicked on update iMatch on my 15" Macbook Pro.
    Waited
    I then made sure iMatch was "on" on all devices.
    I opened up iTunes and then Clicked on Genious just to open without clicking on any mix.
    I left the phone on, (practised the piano) and came back to it 30 mins later.
    I then had iMatch's Genious working.
    I did the same, basically to the 4s and the iPad:
    opened up iTunes and then Genious, with clicking on any mix and waited (more piano practice)
    Now I have iMatch's Genious Mix working on all of the devices that didn't work before.
    Did anything I did have anything to do with solving the issue? I have no idea.
    But my iTunes on my 15" Macbook, my new one, locks up right away but no locking up on anything else except my ofther Macbook Pro, the 17"er.

  • Associate songs listed in my iTunes to the files on my hard drive??

    Hey,
    thanks for taking the time to look!
    Basically this prob stems from moving my music from one laptop to another. I now have hundreds of songs listed in iTunes that wont play because the file it wants to play isnt in the right file path.
    If I click on an individual song with an exclamation mark in the left hand column, it gives me an option to "locate orignal file". Obviously if I do this, iTunes can then play the song.
    Is there a way of associating a number of songs in one go?
    Alternatively, whats the least labour intensive way of getting all these songs to play in iTunes again?!
    Many Thanks
    Russ

    It was for Windows, but I didn't specify exactly what to do as I thought you were using a Mac.
    In Windows, did any of your drive letters change and if so can you change them back? iTunes is very fussy about exact paths to files.
    this article about something else contains instructions for changing drive letters:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493
    Otherwise inspect iTunes Muisc library.xml using wordPad.
    Lines starting <key>Location</key> contain paths, use search to find some problem file names. Is there a simple correction that could be made with search/replace/
    If so with iTunes closed, drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml to the desktop and do the edit on the xml file, then use this method to rebuild the library file:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    If you can't get it to work, you cjust do my original suggestion.
    Or if you prefere you can put iTunes Library.itl back, open aiTunes and add you music folders with File Add folder to library. This will add your files, but leave you with many dead tracks. Thes can be removed with one of Robert jacobson's scripts - itunesremovenotfound:
    http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/
    If you don't want to use a script, you can remove dead tracks by a nifty use of playlists whci I can give you.

  • How to get rid of username lists in the Gmail window. I access Gmail with Firefox.

    It is a small but annoying problem. I, and sometimes friends, use my Gmail account to check their email. In the username window of Gmail, which I access with Firefox 3.6.9, a list of all past users shows up when I click in the window. I cleared Google cookies, and All history, but the list remains! I can hide the list, but not clear it, if I check 'Form and search history'. But the list is alive and well when I uncheck this option! Is there a way to get rid of the list?

  • Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

    Hope you can advice. Thanks.

    SharePoint does not remove users from SharePoint permissions just because they were deleted/disabled in AD. This is to maintain referential integrity. In fact, when you delete a user from SharePoint, that user remains in the SharePoint content database,
    just marked as deleted.
    They do not have access to SharePoint given their account is deleted/disabled. But as far as automatically managing this, I'm not aware of a tool. On-prem there is Metalogix ControlPoint which does a great job of this, I haven't explored the O365 options.
