How do I elimate duplicates on Itunes

How do I eliminate duplicates on ITunes. I tried the: Edit function, delete was not an option highlighted

I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.

    All of my duplicates are from CD's that I own and imported myself, not purchased through iTunes.

    how do i hide duplicates in itunes 10, not delete them

    You can't really "hide" content within the iTunes interface, though at a push you could mislabel some of your Music tracks as Audiobooks if you don't mind the wrong content showing up in that section of the library.
    Perhaps if you tell us the primary reason for wanting to hide things we might be able to suggest an alternative approach.

  • How to delete multiple duplicates in itunes 11.2

    I've seen lot's of people talking about the "Show exact duplicates" funtion, but I can't figure out how to make it work in 11.2.  I have over 6,000 duplciates and need an easier way to delete them other than one by one.  please help?

    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 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.)

  • HT2905 How do you display duplicates in iTunes 11?  I cannot find it.

    I downloaded the latest iTunes version, 11, and now can't find "display duplicates" anywhere.

    Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this lists make no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
    There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicates 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.

  • HT2905 How do you show duplicates in iTunes 11?

    I just got a new computer and want to make sure I don't have duplicate songs in iTunes, but in iTunes 11 I can't find the show dupilicates option. Please help.

    Apple has removed that feature along with several others, but
    (5/12/2012) Missing 'Find Duplicates' feature in iTunes 11 to be restored - http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57557280-263/missing-find-duplicates-featur e-in-itunes-11-to-be-restored/    "Some of the features Apple has removed from iTunes will see a return, but others may indicate changes to come elsewhere in Apple's product lines."
    Until then you will have to resort to sorting by a particular label such as artist and manually scanning, third party utilities such as Dougscripts Dupin (Mac) or https://discussions.apple.com/message/20570956 (Windows) to deal with duplicates, or revert back to iTunes 10.7.

  • How get rid of duplicates in itunes?

    I have lot of duplicates. Songs listed twice, and both play well, and they both show in finder to link to same exact location on hard drive. I'm afraid to deleting one of the duplicates then. any ideas appreciated.

    You may delete the dupes without problems if you don't let iTunes put the original files to trash (you will be asked for that)
    Also worth a look: http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=corralitunesdupes

    How do I show duplicates on itunes 11

    The above is an older post but maybe the script still works.  The find duplicates feature was removed from iTunes11.

  • How do I remove duplicate iCloud calendar entries in iTunes

    Hello Everyone and thanks in advance for any help on this issue!
    The main issue is that in iTunes>Devices>Info>Sync Calendars, I see of Local calendars listed and also iCloud calendars listed (they show a portion of the address (CalDAV?) that they use to sync), and the issue is that I have DUPLICATE iCloud calendar entries here and I would love to remove them.
    Here is my setup:
    MBP with Lion and iPhone 3G with all updates.
    All of my calendars sync with iCloud (I also have an iPad, but not issue with it.) and there are no duplicate calendars or events in iCloud on the web, so this is fine.
    I sync my iCloud/iCal calendars to my iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) via iTunes and this is going well, so no problems here, either.
    I would just like to remove the duplicate iCloud calendars from iTunes under the Info pane so as to simplify life and my understanding. Also, there are other apps (like TimeTable) that go and read the master list of calendars. So, on this app, I see ALL of the calendars by name without being able to distinguish them any other way.
    Any ideas as to how I can climb inside of iTunes and remove the duplicate iCloud calendar entries?
    Thanks!
    Blessings,
    Justin

    I can confirm that there are no duplicate contacts. Currently, because I use an iPhone 3G, my contacts are only being synced via iTunes, not via iCloud.
    My question relates not to duplicate calendar events, but to duplicate calendar addresses (in iCloud) in iTunes' Info pane.
    Here is a pic:
    So, you can see that there are 2 entries for 'Personal', each with the iCloud address (CalDAV?) attached to it. Note that one entry says, 'Personal iCld' instead of just 'Personal'. This is because I renamed all of my iCloud calendars in iCal to see if that would help me distinguish the 'working' calendars from the duplicate entries.
    I would love to be able to get rid of the extra calendars in iTunes to avoid confusion. I do not have any duplicate calendar entries on any devices at this point. I think part of this is because I have deslected the duplicate calendar references in iTunes.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Justin

  • I have more than one photo backup on my computer now itunes has downloaded three of each photo. How do I remove duplicates

    I have more than one photo backup on my computer now itunes has downloaded three of each photo. How do I remove duplicates?

    Wich version of iPhoto do you have? You need iPhoto '09 or '11 to order prints.
    Make an album of all photos you want to order in the same order.
    Then select all photos at once, when you use Share > order prints.
    You should see a panel like this, where you can mark the quantities. The screenshot is from iPhoto 9.6:

  • How do I find duplicate songs/files in iTunes 11?

    How do I find duplicate songs/files in iTunes 11?
    Earlier versions of iTunes had a simple menu option to click on.
    All duplicates would then be listed. Cannot find this option now.
    Regards ..... blayk.

    If you want to free up your memory, maybe first checking to see if you got duplicates. -
    From the File menu in iTunes, choose Show Duplicates. iTunes will then list all of the duplicate titles in your library.
    If you delete a music in the iTunes folder, then when you try to play that particular music in your iTunes, it won't work as iTunes wouldn't be able to find it. However, when you import music on to your computer, always import straight into your iTunes, no where else.
