  • Deleteing exact duplicates more than one at a time?

    I am able to pull up exact duplicates but am I only supposed to delete the extras or all on the list? Is there a way to delete all at once or do I have to do it one by one?

    You want to delete all but one of each repeating group. It becomes more complicated because sometimes there are two links to a single file, other times there are multiple files on the hard drive with the same audio content and tag properties.  Depending on which it is you either do or do not want to delete the file when deleting the entry from the library.
    See this  thread which discusses some causes, gives a strategy for a manual removal and explains the ideas behind a script called DeDuper for doing it automatically.

  • Is there a way to delete all duplicates, other than one by one?  some free program or does itunes have one to just identify and delete all duplicates in the library?

    How do I delete duplicates in my library as a group, rather than one by one?

    Apple's official advice on duplicates 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 such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    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, this post for detailed instructions, 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.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • How can I delete multiple duplicate songs at one time? I would really like to wipe out my music library and just reinstall all files. Any Help is appreciated.

    I am trying to cleanout my iTunes Music Library. I would prefer to wipeout the music library and then reinstall my music. I do not know how to delete multiple files besides doing one by one. Any help is much appreciated. Thank You.

    Dupin is for Mac. For PC users I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.

  • How do I delete exact duplicates in my library?

    How do I delete exact duplicates from my library?

    @Blouwagie:
    You should always make a bootable backup BEFORE you do major updates.
    If things go wrong you can always revert to what you had previously.
    You can do this with Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. (I use CCC for a long time, and I'm very satisfied about it, I can recommend it)
    It used to be donation ware, but now you need to pay a small fee. Not a big price for always knowing you're safely backed up.
    If you don't have a bootable clone from before the update, and would like to revert to 10.7, check this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4560565
    seems to work.
    didn't need it myself since I waited to update, I always check this forums first to find out what are the issues/bugs.  When there seems to be none or little problems, I update. I've learned my lesson long time ago. Patience is a good thing...
    So, always backup. More important than your changing underwear daily. Time machine isn't enough. Make two bootable clones. One at your place and one at a different location (theft, fire, ...), you can always revert from there.

  • How can I delete videos and other things uploads to icloud ?

    How can I delete videos and other things uploads to icloud ?

    If these are purhased movies they are not stored in your iCloud account and cannot be deleted.  They are stored in the iTunes store.  What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased movies, allowing you to redownload them.
    If you don't want to see these in the Videos app, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn Videos off under Show All.

  • Is there a way to delete emails other than one at a time?

    Is there a way to delete emails other than one at a time?

    You can select multiple emails at a time for deletion, but there is no option to delete all email from an account's Inbox mailbox at once.
    If the account is an IMAP or Exchange account, delete all email from the account's Inbox mailbox with the email client on your computer used for accessing the account or via webmail access for the account using a browser on your computer. All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP or Exchange account are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.

  • For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago.

    # Question
    For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. Why is this happening? This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago. Do not know how the bookmarks even got in there. Some were ok, but no order and some that were never bookmarks. Looks like FF tried to import some BM's from the Virtual XP installed, but did not get it any where near right. I need to completely delete all of them and install from a saved .html file.

    Well, I did not see the exact problem that I was having listed in the articles, BUT the problem is solved for now.
    I opened FF and the Bookmarks to Organize again. I deleted all of the folders and entries, ONE AT A TIME, AND IT WORKED. Evidently, for what ever reason, FF did not like "Batch" deletes of ANY amount greater than 1 and the HANG UP would occur.
    Deleting one at a time then importing the good .html from a good file, loaded the wanted Bookmarks. Yea

  • A library on my hard drive became corrupted, so I over-wrote it from an external hard drive.  When I access the library now on my hard drive, many of the images are vertical, and cannot be rotated other than one at a time.  Ideas to correct this?

    You had already done "Repair" and "Rebuild"?  These usually takes scores of minutes or hours.
    Does the Library on your external drive work from the external drive?  Navigate to it in Finder and double-click the name.
    If it does, delete the problem Library, empty the System Trash, reboot, Verify your system disk using Disk Utility (and might as well repair permissions while you're at it), reboot, test the external drive Library once more to confirm it works properly, then close it and copy the Library to your system drive.  When the copying is done, double-click the Library (now on the system drive) and see what you get.
