How can i erase dublicate songs easily from my iTune library.

I have almost 8000 songs in my iTune and most of them have dublicates. How can i easily erase dublicate songs?

First you want to identify the duplicate songs, to do this you can go to File and from there select Show Duplicates.  If you have a way to distinguish ones from the others you should be able to do it quite fast.  For example, organize them by Genre, or by Last time played.
If you can't tell them apart this way then you'll have to go about it manually.  I *think* there's an app that sorts out your library for you too but I can't remember the name, or where I saw it.

  • How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

    How can I use mp4 audio files from my iTunes library in an Elements 10 slide show?

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • How can my daughter download her music from my itunes library without it syncing to my ipod

    My daughter doesn't have her own laptop and wants to use mine to download music from itunes to her ipod.  I currently have itunes downloaded which contains my playlists etc but is it possible to download her music to the same itunes without her music automatically syncing to my ipod (and without my music syncing to her ipod)?  I've created a new library which I thought might do it but it still contains my albums (though not my playlists).  Is this the right way to do it or is there another way?

    Plug the device into the computer.
    Select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.
    iTunes remembers what to sync to the device based on the device ID.

    how can i erase my .me mails from my iPhone and keep them in the server

    You can't. The iPhone doesn't actually store all your emails anyway. It is showing you what is on the server directly.
    Only the most recently accessed emails are cached (stored temporarily) on your phone for access when you are offline. If you delete an email from your iPhone, you are actually deleting it from the server.

    If you have the media on an iDevice then you should be able to get most of your non-iTunes purchases back as well. See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options.

  • How can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
    Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
    Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

  • Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library

    Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library. There are many books that I want to delete and replace with current books, but cannot remove the old books.  Thanks  Guy

    Hey cjt101,
    Thanks for the question. Was this song purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, it may be that your device is configured to show all of your purchased music that has not yet been downloaded. The following resource may resolve your issue:
    iCloud and iTunes Match - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphb8d9fd5a6
    View only music that’s downloaded. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Under Show All, turn off Music.
    Thanks,

  • How can I erase data on TC from older MBP?

    I had a 1st. Gen. MBP and all it's data was backed up on my 1TB TC.
    I Recently bought the new 15" MBP and restored all data I had on older version by using my TC.
    My problem came when I turned on the TM on my new MBP...
    It made a full Backup, duplicating all data I had on my older version. and lowering the free space I had on my TC. instead of just keep going with my new MBP.
    How can I erase old data from my previous MBP on my TC?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Open your Hard Drive and look under SHARED for the TC icon
    Click the icon and then double click the Time Capsule folder
    You should now see several xxxxx.sparsebundle files
    Each sparsebundle file displays the name of the computer and its MAC address
    Click the sparsebundle file that you want to delete
    Click the gear shaped icon just above and select Move to Trash
    Be very careful as the file will be deleted quickly and cannot be recovered.

  • HT1338 HOW can I erase an SD card from my computer?

    HOW CAN I erase an SD card when in my computer after uploading what I wanted  to save to computer?

    Roger: That is a perfect description of how to properly and successfully eject or unmount an SD card, but I think the question is not that, but rather how to ERASE the files on the SD card, prior to ejection.
    Freddied: I don't have a lot of experience with this, but I think it's possible to treat an SD card exactly as you would any other attached external drive. Thus, to erase what's on it, the steps I would take are this:
    1. Prior to putting the SD card in, make sure your computer's existing Trash is empty. If it isn't currently empty, then empty it.
    2. Put the SD card in.
    3. Double click its icon to see a window of its contents.
    4. Most likely (if the card is full of pictures from a camera) the files you want to erase are buried within various folders in a hierarchy created by the camera's OS. Burrow through the folders until you find the files you want to erase.
    5. Drag the unwanted files to the Trash icon on your Dock or desktop, or alternately highlight them and hit Command-Delete.
    6. Once you have found and thrown away all unwanted files, then choose "Empty Trash" from the Finder menu.
    7. THEN follow the ejection procedure described by Roger above.
    NOTE: It's probably not a good idea to just Trash and Erase everything on the SD card, because the files and folders on it are part of the hierarchy put there by the camera's OS, and if you mess it up, you'll likely have to reformat the card in your camera again.
    Also NOTE: It's actually preferable to erase pictures off an SD card within the camera, not on your computer. What I do in your situation is to NOT erase files from the SD card while it is plugged into my computer, but rather later when it's back in the camera, using the camera's menus and whatever method that model uses to erase photos.
    If, however, you are storing non-image non-camera files on your SD card, then use the steps I outlined above.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1386 How do I transfer all the music from an iTunes library on a PC to on another iTunes library on a Mac, with being able to keep both libraries of music?

    A year and a half ago I purchased an iPhone 4s and created a substantial library of music in the iTunes account on my PC. Just recently, I purchased a Macbook Pro w/ Retina  and am just getting around to syncing the newer iTunes library on my iPhone. However, when I did, iTunes deleted all the songs that I had previously on my first iTunes library.
    I still have access to all the other songs on the previous iTunes library, but how can I add both libraries to my iPhone without losing any music?
    I've been searching for about three hours on ways to do this and I've come up with nothing.

  • How can i transfer my iphone4 content to my itune Library

    How can i transfer my iphone4 content to my itune Library

    Just google it, there are lots of third party softwares that allows you to transfer data between your iPhone and your computer like iFunbox (which is free). You can transfer photos, app data, videos and other stuff. If you wan't to transfer photos though, you can use iCloud Photo Stream and download iCloud Control Panel for Windows and Mac. With it you can also view notes that you made from iPhone and transferred wirelessly through iCloud servers.
