Didn't work (but I left it unchecked anyway).

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.

How can I remove video from itunes?

Hi. I have a problem. I converted a file to watch on ATV. Then I put into iTunes and successfully watched it. Then deleted that file, but when I wanted to remove from iTunes i couldn't find it... Therefore it show up on ATV as a Home Video. How can I find and traces of this file in iTunes? Thanks

You can delete from ipad and just leave movie un-ticked in iTunes, if it is one you have downloaded from iStore then I believe that you can't delete but you can hide, then it's available to download again, but I only use movies from my PC.

HT2905 Can't remove duplicates in iTunes library

I just downloaded the newest verion of iTunes and there is no option to "display duplicates" under the "file" tab. Any ideas? Thanks!

The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11.0. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicate copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file. Same advice to backup applies.

Fortunately, you can now select to make the user/Library folder permanently visible (select homefolder, select Show View Options under Action menu). Unfortunately, it is not visible by default, as far as I remember.
I just dragged mine to the sidebar in my Favorites. Much easier to get to.

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 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).

How can I remove ALL of iTunes as 8.2.023 is not identifying my iPhone

I have spent days on this and other discussions trying to fix my unintentional update to iTunes 8.2.023. Apple was called and they could not resolve and were sent a few logs from Apple and Widow Diagnostics. They have now ignored recent email and phone calls on the case which is still open. Version 8.1.1 worked fine every time with my iPhone, that upgrade back in April was truly painless. Last week's Install was fine without error and it converted my library to their new format. Error then popped up "An iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified properly.." Apple tech and Engineers have had this open case for a week now without a resolution. I tired the very first night to return to prior version 8.0.52 manually from Apple and later let Vista use Restore point which successfully restored to a point with correct version of 8.1.1 yet iTunes still Failed to have iPhone "Identified Properly" I uninstalled al iTunes applications and reinstalled iTunes per Apple instruction Friday (19Jun)and it still failed to work. I made no other changes yet iPhone popped up in iTunes identified last Saturday(20 Jun) morning for unknown reason and then failed the next day. I tried all things found in discussions, I have no Wireless Network in fact no network exists other than a single desktop connected to the internet. I unplugged/disabled internet connection, unplugged all but 1 USB device, moved iPhone to different USB Port, performed Hard Reboot of iPhone, used msconfig to disable all start up services and programs except those needed by Microsoft & Apple, Verified drivers for iPhone and Apple Mobile Device Services are updated, etc. etc. Unrelated and with nothing to lose I updated Vista to Service Pack 2 which made some device changes but no other effect on iTunes. I uninstalled 8.2 and got a fresh download without Firewall/AntiVirus running. I do know I am not the only one with this problem and the only solution that seems to have worked that makes sense or I have not been able to do is revert back to older 8.1.1 version. I know I may risk losing library but that can be rebuilt. At issue is no backup or restore should iPhone fail (it did just that two months ago) and no access to selections available in iTunes library which is only reason for my having iTunes. Buying 3G S or updating iPhone elsewhere to Firmware 3.0, though suggested by Apple, has not worked for those who tried. Apple is not supporting.

I got rid of AMDS, ASU ,QuickTime and iTunes from control ones I also found folder in Vista with D:\Users\Rick\Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Library and there is one dated 2009-03012.itl. I moved this file up one folder and delted existing iTunes Library.itl. iTune still failed to identify my iPhone. There are other files iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Geniyes,itdn and iTunes Music Library,xml date dtd 06/18/2009 after upgrade except the latter which is date 06/23/2009. So something is not allowing me to pull or put everything back to when it worked.
YES this is my only iPhone and only PC I have access to with iTunes.
Here is what Apple gave to someone Sunday 28 June:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2035950&start=75&tstart=0
I checked these out too and they appear the same printed out nearly a week prior. I agree with Coach TO, if I had bad drivers or Vista errors it would not have shown up only when I updated to latest Version of 8.2.023. My Phone was identified on a PC with iTunes at the local AT&T store. He suggested I get phone into Recovery made while connected to iTunes and that resolves the problem 9 out of 10 time. Weak spot was he tried to get phone into Recovery without iTunes connection and thought I may have iPhone problem, then changed his mind when it worked while connected. He also stated it could take an hour. I have not tried to put my iPhone in Recovery lately, I think I did a while back and it failed to go into Recovery as error "iPhone detected by, not identified..."Has anyone tried forcing phone into Recovery? I understand you may lose all that is on phone. If iTunes still fails to identify would we not be in worse shape even if iTunes holds a recent backup which it does not for many of us? Will Apple take back or exchange phone if yours is not identitifed, AT&T today told me I had to go to Apple Store for this or anything to happen.

How do I remove duplicate photos on my iMac

HOw can I remove duplicate photos I seem to have done something wrong and have 5 duplicates of everything

The best option in that case is to restore your iPhoto library from your backup.
If your backup is not current it will be a lot of work and a risky operation, even with tools like iPhoto library Manager or Duplicate Annihilator.
Before you start deleting duplicates make a backup copy of the current state, so you have a fall back option in case you delete accidentally too much.
Old Toad has posted a list of tools to identify duplicates here: Re: eliminating iphoto duplicates
