How can I remove duplicate of entire library on my itunes

i got a new large drive for my expanding music collection. backed up to it, then went to preferences and changed where the library resides to the new drive..opened itunes and got a bunch of ? marks near my songs [ perhaps i didn't wait till they disappeared ] and then went to users>music [ on the drive i was moving from ] and dragged the "itunes music" file into the opened itunes on the desktop. Now i have duplicates of everything AND when i have both drives running [old and new] and play each individual song, each song will play from each drive. HOW DO I GET BACK TO ONE OF EACH SONG? I have thought of wiping the new drive clean and starting fresh .. but do i need to do that?

There is an excellent program to do this called "Dupin". You can check it out at

  • How can i copy songs from another library to my itunes library with homesharing?

    How can i copy songs from another library to my itunes library with homesharing?  I see the other libraries, but cannot drag the songs into my library.  The help window says to use the "show menu" at the bottom, but I don't have that menu with itunes 11.

    You can do this in 2 ways.
    1) You can enable the sidebar and you can drag and drop like you used to be able to.  To turn on Sidebar in iTunes 11, go to View > Show Sidebar
    2) Another way is to connect to your Home Share from the drop-down menu from the left (where it says Music) and select your Home Share.  Once you are connected to your Home Share, select Music and you should see a button that says "All Items" and on the right, you should see the Import button.  To copy, select the songs you want to import and then click on Import.

  • How can I remove the authorize 5 computer from my iTunes?

    How can I remove the authorize 5 computer from my iTunes?

    Deauthorize one computer
    Open iTunes on the computer you want to deauthorize.
    Choose Store > Deauthorize This Computer.
    You might need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID.
    Click Deauthorize.
    If need to deauthorize your computer but you can't access it, you need to deauthorize all computers. After you authorize 2 computers, you'll have the option to deauthorize all computers for your Apple ID. You can deauthorize all computers once per year.
    Deauthorize your computer using iTunes - Apple Support

  • How can i remove duplicates and certain contacts on Outlook and my iPhone?

    I use the Outlook mail and contact program on my PC with a Windows 7 operating system, which I sync with my iPhone5.
    After installing the iCloud program, I now have duplicate and sometimes quadruplicate contacts.
    1. How can I remove the duplicates?
    2. How can I be selective about which contacts I want to share on iCloud, in other words, can I share only certain contact categories/folders like work contacts or personal contacts?
    3. How can I "uncloud" specific contacts and have them appear only on my computer and not on my iPhone?
    4. Is there a way to restore accidently deleted contacts?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Connect the device to the computer.
    Select what is desired to sync.
    Sync.

  • HT4009 How can I remove/delete apps I have downloaded in iTunes?

    Hi,
    How can I remove/delete apps I have downloadedin iTunes?
    I have the Lite versions that I try and then buy the PRO version.
    Now all the LITE's are cluttering my account.
    Also some of the apps that I downloaded are not required/wanted now. Can I delete them?
    Thanks

    You can delete them from your computer's iTunes and/or from your device, but you can't currently permanently delete them from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding (the ability to hide items directly on a device doesn't appear to work in iOS 6)

  • How can I remove my credit card information from my iTunes account?

    I've never used a credit card in my account before, I decided to to use a Visa gift card that was given to me this past Christmas, but once I used up all the funds I can't remove it from my account. What can I do? Feel free to email me about this issue. THANKS!
    <Edited by Host>

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit the payment info on that account by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into the account, and on the account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and select 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on the account's page.

  • How can I remove a table entirely from a Pages document (OSX, not iOS)?

    I can remove the text, and reduce it down to 1 by 1, and even then I suppose I could remove the borders and hide it. But there must be a way that I'm missing. Can anyone guide me?

    A table is an object just like an image. Select it by clicking on it or its border so you can see it getting small squares. Then you can delete it.
    If you see x instead of squares it is locked and you have to unlock it first. Arrange > Unlock.

  • How can I remove duplicate music on my iPhone?

    Recently my computer for some reason restarted iTunes and reimported everything.
    When I plugged in my iPhone to sync, it readded all my music.
    I now have duplicates of almost everything. There's over 4000 songs, so I'd really like to avoid having to manually delete each one by swiping.
    I've tried unsyncing music and then adding it again many many times (it worked for my iPod Nano which had the same problem), but that hasn't helped.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? Let me know if I can provide anymore information too. Thanks!

    Go to settings > General > Usage > and then try deleting the 'music' section under storage (swipe to delete).

  • HT2486 How can i remove duplicates from my address book?

    When I synced my phone through icloud my contacts were all duplicated on my address book on my desktop.  is there an easy way to remove the dupilcates? thank you!

    Here's one such AppleScript I found on the web
    The script will Find the duplicate Entries in Your AddressBook.app and put them into a New Group Called "Duplicate Entries" Allowing you to easly compare and edit them.) ***NOTE: The script will ADD a NEW GROUP IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK : NAMED "Duplicate Entries" if it does not exist:

       if not (exists (group "Duplicate Entries")) then
           make new group with properties {name:"Duplicate Entries"}
       end if
       set the_names to the name of every person as list
       repeat with i from 1 to number of items in the_names
           set this_Name to item i of the_names
