How are duplicate songs deleted from albums?  I've followed iTunes Help intructions but wasn't successful.

How are multiple duplicate songs deleted from albums?  I've followed iTunes Help instructions but wasn't successful.  I command clicked the duplicate songs to select them, and pressed  "delete" on the keyboard, but nothing happened.  I also tried dragging the selections to tht Trash Bin to no avail. I'm sure that the album is not part of a Smart Playlist since i just impoted the songs.  Would appreciate any and all suggestions

Right click - Delete.

  • I can't get rid of duplicate songs on my iphone or in the itunes.Help

    I cannot get rid of duplicate songs on my iphone or on the itunes player on my computer. I also cannot get my songs to play on my iphone in shuffle mode. It just plays the same song over and over again. Any lovely geeks out there?

    Welcome to the forums.
    If you have duplicate songs in iTunes you ought to be able to find them by using the "Find Duplicates" function and erase them by highlighting them all and pressing delete. Remember, though, that songs are not necessarily recognized as duplicates if they don't have the same tags (that is, a song can be duplicated but with a slightly different song title and iTunes cannot recognize it as a duplicate and it would be up to you to delete it manually).
    Once you've cleaned up iTunes it will automagically clean up your iPhone when you sync it. So work on getting iTunes in order first.
    People have complained about shuffle mode on the iPhone. One thing you can do is to create a smart playlist that selects the songs you want and does it randomly. You may have to create one or more of these depending on how you listen to music, but they will indeed give you "shuffled" songs.

  • How to find songs deleted from iTunes but on hard drive?

    I have a very large library. My wonderful nieces "accidentally" deleted some song files from iTunes. However, the songs themselves are still on the hard drive.
    Is there an easy way for iTunes to search the hard drive for music files, compare what is NOT currently in iTunes and import ONLY the missing songs?
    Thank you in advance.

    Check [Dougscripts|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scriptcount.php?sortBy=Name& op=y] - Many itunes scripts
    I seem to recall one that looks for files not actually in itunes, but don't remember the name of the script.
    If you have itunes manage your music for you I think you could just run consolidation again and it will add media that it finds that don't already exist in your library.

  • How to remove recently deleted photo album off iPhone by iTunes?

    Using iTunes how can i remove the recently deleted photos from my iPhone 4s?

    You can't remove the "Recently Deleted"album off your iPhone. You can empty the folder or wait for the photos in the folder to age out (30 days).
    This is a feature added to help the many users who accidentally deleted photos from their iPhones, iPads, etc. or later had second thoughts about the deletions.

  • Songs deleted from iPhone still appearing in iTunes

    I added a couple hundred songs to my iPhone recently, but now I wanted to clean the library up of some songs I didn't want. I went on to the Music app and did the swipe left > delete thing for all the songs I didn't want, and they weren't appearing on my iPhone anymore, but when I went into iTunes and went on the "On this iPhone" tab, the songs that I deleted were still approving. I couldn't right-click delete, and I couldn't play them either. I want to wipe the library completely clean, but none of the songs are disappearing. Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?

  • Why are my songs missing from my playlists using match? How can I fix it?

    On my mac mini, iTunes shows my playlists as expected.  It also shows the iCloud icon (also expected). However, when I use my iPhone to try to sync/download a few of the playlists, there are no songs in them.  I even tried adding songs AFTER I finished the iTunes Match and only one of the eight songs showed up in the playlist on the iPhone, even though all eight had successfully been loaded to iCloud through iTunes Match.  Any ideas / suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I think I am having the same issue. I had a number of songs on my phone. I signed up for Match, and switched over my iphone library to Match in settings. Everything was fine, all of my playlists synched to itunes.
    I then decided to free up space by deleting all of the previously stored songs from my phone. After I did this, all of the songs that were once on the phone vanished (rather than appearing with a cloud symbol). All of the songs that were in the cloud prior to the delete are still there, but none of the songs deleted from the IOS device are there.
    Everything looks fine in itunes.

  • "Delete from Album" meaning?

    When you click on a photo and choose Delete from Album, is that the same as putting it in the trash and getting completely rid of it?
    If it is just removed from the album but is still hanging around somewhere else, how can I find it and get rid of it for good?
    Basically what I'm asking is, how do I completely rid my computer of a particular photo?   Thanks.

    deleting from an albums does just that - removes the photo from the abum
    to delete a photos from the library entirely select it in an event and press delete (or move to trash) and empty the iPhtoo trash and then empty the system trash

  • How do I completly delete from ipad purchase completely gone

    How do I completly delete from ipad purchase completely gone

    you can delete an app from your iPad by:  locate the app's icon on your home screen, touch and hold the icon until it starts to jiggle, touch the small x that will now appear at the upper left of the icon.
    Note that while this deletes the app from you iPad it will still appear in the App Store under Purchased.
    If you are synching your iPad to a computer, you can go into the App Store from the computer and make the app "hidden", but you cannot get entirely rid of the record that you purchased this app.

  • How can iTune-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?

    How can iTunes-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?
    This can happen because the iOS device is on travels distant from the iTunes computer, because the iTunes computer is on travels distant from the iOS device, because the iTunes computer has failed permanently, because the iTunes computer has been stolen, etc.

    KRDHarris-
    The only possibility I can think of, is to consult with an Apple Store Genius.  See if there is some kind of Apple proprietary software or diagnostic tool that can do it.
    I do not think you want to, but you could go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings.  If you decided to do that, you might be able to restore from a previous backup when you get home.

  • How do I move photos from album to album in Photo

    How do I move photos from album to album in Photo?

    Now try this.  Try to import photos from your camera's SD Card by dragging and dropping the photos from the SD Card to an album of choice.   You can't.
    Actually you can if you drag the photos onto the albums' icon in the sidebar pane at the left or into the albums open window at the right.  This
    gets you this:
    However, this test was for photos in a folder on the Desktop.  I didn't have a memory card to test so you may have to move the pictures from the card to a folder on the Desktop and import from there.

    If you deleted them from both PhotoStream and the camera roll, and you don't otherwise have them backed up, they're gone.

  • My deleted emails on iPhone 4s are not being deleted from server

    I'm facing a problem with my iPhone 4s when deleting emails. Unfortunately, they are not being deleted from the server. I tried setting the account in pop and imap with settings to delete from server and trash ticked. Still they keep on appearing in Outlook which is a double work to do. Please advise.

    I'm no expert by far, but have had issues with this before.
    IMAP should allow your iPhone to remove messages from the server.
    But have you made sure both the iPhone and Outlook are connecting via IMAP?
    If your iPhone does remove the messages from the server, but your computer is using POP, then the computer may download the email before it is removed form the server by your iPhone.
    This was my issue, that my computer had already downloaded the message, and POP does not check later if it is deleted.
    If you delete a message from Outlook does it disappear on the iPhone?
    Alternativly you may need to check the email server settings.
    Who is your email provider?
    They may be able to check if IMAP allows you to remove emails.
