How did I get all the duplicates in my iTunes and how do i get rid of them!!

1000 duplicates in itunes. How do I fix that?
...and how did it happen.?

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes does not create duplicates.
Only the user importing content multiple times creates duplicates.
Delete the duplicates and stop importing the same content multiple times.

How do I import photos from an external harddrive without getting all the duplicates on my Macbook pro? is there a program to download for that ?

Go in the web and check out 'dupeGuru'. It's not free but might be just the ticket for you.

How do we delete all the duplicate songs?

we have been coping our C Ds and found that we have tons of duplicate songs . how do we delete all the duplicates?

Apple's official advice 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.
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 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)
Note also that I don't consider the same song appearing on different albums to be duplicates.

I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto. The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all. How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto?

I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto. The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all. How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto? Even if there are duplicates, I'd like to make sure I get all the photos from my phone into iphoto. Thanks

To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

At present I synch my iPhone 4 to my Dell Laptop. I've recently bought an iMac and I want to synch my iPhone 4 to the iMac. How do i transfer all the relevant info from iTunes on my Dell Laptop to my iMac without losing any info, photos, music or apps?

there are a number of scenarios to do it.
The general idea was covered here:

Make sure you have a full backup of your iPhone before recyncing with the iMac as during this process all data will be wiped out from your iPhone.
Going forward you may want to check icloud which makes life easier.

No sound. Mute is not checked, volume all the way up on iTunes and on status bar. What am I doing wrong or missing? I restarted last night and it worked before that but not since, any one have any ideas?

Thanks, Rob

First off did you go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > And is the correct output selected?
Any red light coming out of the headphone jack? If so, you'll need to re-set the little switch in there by inserting a 3.5mm jack carefully in & out 20 odd times. Or grab a toothpick (non-conductive) and a flashlight.
Tried anything else that produces a sound? On restart do you get the chime? Perhaps check into Audio Midi Setup to ensure your output is selected correctly using the cog at the bottom left.

I updated my 3gs to 6.1.3 now I can't get mail the phone constantly restarts itself and I can't get it to Restore thanks Apple what can I do?

Im having the same problem, I updated my Iphone 4S to 6.1.3, shortly after that my phone had no audio. It was working fine one minute and then stopped. Was listening to music when sound gave out on me. It wont ring, phone just vibrates even after turning off vibration option. I've tried all the options listed and nothing. My phone has never been jailbroken either. If I connect the earphones is works perfectly. On one of my last calls received, phone's ringtone was heard for about 2 seconds before muting and just vibrating. Ringtone sounded perfect, speakers did not sound damaged.
What else could be done? I've read several post regarding this and it seems like Apple has no solution to this yet. Very dissappointed.

How can I found out the No. of Psocess running and How can I Release them

Dear experts,
How can I found out the No. of Psocess running and How can I Release them.
I have 1GB RAM with oracle 10G. and please tell me How many processes can run with this RAM.

>How can I found out the No. of Psocess running
well, that depends on where you are ? if you are on windows then task manager will tell you what all processes are running. if you are on unix then ps -ef will tell you about all the processes running on a particular machine
How can I Release them.
what do you exactly mean by Release ? if you mean "end" that again has 2 scenarios, first that process ends by itself (ie after completing its job), another can be killing the process , that again will depend upon operating system. in windows you can kill a process from task manager itself, in unix you can use kill -9 PID to kill a process.
How many processes can run with this RAM.
loads of other details required before one can answer this question.no of processes in a very simple manner will depend how much memory is available and how much a process is eating.

How do I re-pair the white Remote with iTunes and/or AppleTV 1

Note that our test system may show more or different columns than yours, but what you see in this screenshot is our iTunes 11 music library in "Songs" view, sorted by artist. The major difference from prior versions of iTunes is the lack of the sidebar that gave you quick access to all of your content.
Don't worry, it's still available! We just have to turn it on. To do so, go to the View menu and choose "Show Sidebar," as shown in the image below:

How did my family end up with with others contacts and how do I resolve??

Welcome to the Apple community.
One way this would occur, is if you were to be sharing your iCloud account with other users. Ideally each person should have their own iCloud account.
I note in another of your threads, that you say you have lost your phone. It's possible that someone has found it and has started to use your iCloud account on it.

Have you looked at the settings in iTunes. Is music syncing manual or automatic. More info please. I would try removing all restrictions as an initial test.

Remove all of these items in the following order:

Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or by right-clicking the downloaded installer and selectingRun as Administrator.
