How do i get rid of duplicate songs on my ipad that are not in itunes

I have multiple devices and recently joined iCloud and iMatch. My problem is that on my iPhone 4 and iPad when I connect they show that I have 4800 songs on them. I only have 1400. The extra songs are not on itunes and are not on the devices. If I select the device drop down and the look at music I can see all 4800 and it's multiple duplicates of songs that I own with a Syncing symbol by them. I can not select them, delete them or anything. But they are taking up space on my devices according to iTunes. iDeas? This is on a PC Win 7

Hello courtney_rae33,
It sounds like you have deleted song music from your iTunes library on the computer but after syncing the phone to your computer the songs are still on the phone. From what you describe it seems as if iTunes and the iPhone are set to Manually Manage the content. This article will help you determine of that is the case:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
Connect the device to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. If your device isn't visible in the upper right corner of the screen, choose Library.
Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos."
Click Apply.
Manually add or remove content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
After following the steps above, you can add individual songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your device. To add content to your device:
Select your device.
Click "On this Device."
Then choose "Add to" in the upper right corner.
While viewing the media in your iTunes library, if you drag a song, video, TV show, or Movie a sidebar will appear on the right. You can drag content onto the device. You can also create and modify playlists directly on the device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

How do I get rid of duplicate songs on my iPad that cannot be deleted?

I bought an album very recently off iTunes (Lana Del Rey - Paradise Edition), and when I sync the album along with all my other songs from my mac to my iPad, the album has every song duplicated, with the second song of every copy unable to be played and so the iPad automatically skips these songs. When I try to delete them off the iPad by swiping to reveal the delete button, nothing happens. However I can delete the original songs that were copied from which then leaves me with an entire album with every song skipping the next!
So, my question is, how do i solve this?
I've tried restoring the iPad, unchecking and checking the album between syncs, but to no avail.

Why do i have songs on my iPad that are not in my iTunes?

I have songs on my ipad that are not in my itunes music library. Why is this and how can i get them into itunes?
Thanks,
BudSteiner

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to transfer ipod songs. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

I've got songs on my iPad that are not on my iPhone which I want but for some reason they won't go on over Icloud, help!?

perfect. ok do the following:
settings > mail, contacts, calendars > go into the exchange account. You should have an email in the account field...[email protected] or [email protected], etc.... I am assuming you don't remember the password to this exchange account so once you know the email, you can go to email providers site and click on forgot password and you will go through the steps to get a new password. Once you do this, you will need to go back into your "exchange account " and the field that has the exchange email > touch the > to open settings. Change the password to your new password you got from above. Once you do this, you can add the exchange account to your ipad and all of your contacts will sync to both devices.
Please confirm.

How to get rid of pix in my iphoto library that are not imported?

I needed to clear the memory card of my husband's camera recently, and didn't have the canon software installed on my computer. So I tried using iphoto, but it crashed because the movies are high resolution and I guess iPhoto couldn't handle it. I managed to get them transferred another way, but now every time I launch iPhoto I get a message telling me that there are images in my iPhoto library that are not imported, and asking if I want to import them. If I try to import them, iPhoto crashes again. If I say "cancel" I get the same message again next time. I tried going into the finder to get rid of them but don't know where they are. No matter what I try to throw away, I still get the same message. How to get rid of those photos?

and didn't have the canon software installed on my computer.
You could also have used Image Capture in your Applications Folder.
but it crashed because the movies are high resolution and I guess iPhoto couldn't handle it.
iPhoto managed high resolution just fine. Perhaps you don't have the correct codec.
To solve you more immediate problem: go to your Pictures Folder and there you'll see your iPhoto Library Folder. Open it and inside you'll see a folder called 'Importing' or something close to that. Drag it to the desktop. Restart iPhoto. Does that help?

How to finally get rid of duplicate songs.

Hello and thank you ahead of time,
I started this thread because I know I not the only person who has this problem.
How can I get itunes to recognize that two songs that are the same have been imported? and then have it delete one of them.
Thank you,
Thor

To find duplicates:
Select an item below Library or Playlists, and then do one of the following:
• Choose File > Show Duplicates to find every instance of a song from the same artist from any album in your collection. For example, the same song could appear on the artist’s album and on a movie soundtrack or a compilation album.
• Press the Option key and choose File > Show Exact Duplicates to find multiple copies of the same song (if, for example, you inadvertently imported the song twice).
To see all items again, click Show All at the bottom of the iTunes window.
You have to manually delete the one's you don't want.

How do I get rid of duplicate songs on iPhone?

I have the iPhone 4 and with one of the recent updates, my iTunes changed. Now when my phone syncs with my iTunes library, it has a lot of duplicate songs showing up on the phone. I went through manually and deleted them off my phone, but then when syncing again recently, they were all put on there again. What can I do to get duplicates off there for good?

How do I get rid of yahoo and Pogo toolbars. They are not listed in my XP Windows programs, but they are on my firefox home page and interfere with my gmail use..

Both toolbars have uninstall instructions in their help section shown on the toolbars. I've pasted these in the trouble-shooting section below. When I try to find these programs at the START menu, either in my settings or in the "add/remove program" section of my Control Panel, they are not there. Both toolbars take prominence over gmail, which is my preferred toolbar for browsing, etc. So although I can do whatever I need to do, I first have to wend my way through Pogo's face page and then yahoos intrusion on web sites. Why can't I get rid of these two toolbars? I never intentionally asked for them and I'm still not sure how they were authorized to be there, although it is obvious that I must have done it.

it wasnt listed at ALL on my toolbars, and when i originally open firefox, the first page is google. when id start a new tab however, this stupidness was there. i had to go into Control Panel->Internet Properties and change it there. Hope it helps you also :)

How do I get Messages in my mailboxes forwarded to me that are not left in my base box?

Hi
We are a new Fios user. We have a "base box", Mailbox 1 and Mailbox 2. Messages left in the base box (mailbox 0) get forwarded w/o a problem. How to we get messages left in mailbox 1 or mailbox 2 forwarded to our respective emails. We are a two person household, with one phone number.
Is there any way to do this? Currently, it seems that only messages left in the Master mailbox (mailbox 0) get forwarded.
Any thoughts?
Thanks In Advance
Jay

Save the top level application and it will then save and keep the linkages to the subvi's. As long as you don't move the subvi's. This is caused when you move the subvi's from the directories that the top level vi is expecting them to be in or if you change the names of the subvi's and don't update the top level vi that is calling them. The other way this is caused is if you delete the subvi and a vi is using it. A good habit to get into is to save all subvi's in one directory under your top level applications directory. Hope this helps.

TS4118 How do you get rid of duplicate calendar events on iPad?

I just synced my iPad with my MacBook (which I do all the time) but this time, it resulted in duplicating all my iPad calendar events (events do not appear as duplicates on my MacBook). This happened immediately after I enabled iCloud syncing of my calendar. I have now disabled Icloud syncing and I just synced my iPad with my MacBook again. The events are still appearing in duplicate on my iPad.

iTunes settings for iPad and iPhone are independent. If your iPhone doesn't have duplicate entries, check your settings when plugged into iTunes, then use the same settings for your iPad. But, it really sounds as if you've simply enabled calendar syncing directly from your Mac when it's plugged into iTunes. This will then update your iPad's calendar with whatever's in your Desktop calendar when you plug it in to iTunes. Uncheck this setting in iTunes when you next have your iPad plugged in to sync, and the duplicates should disappear, leaving only those events pulled down from MobileMe. The plug in sync option is for people who don't use MobileMe.

You don't say whether you are on PC or Mac. For Mac there are these two programs which might help (I havn't tried either) :
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/songsergeant.html
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/idupe.html
There are probably similar programs for PCs, but I don't know what they are. On a PC you can hold the shift key and do File > Display Exact Duplicates (without the shift they may not be exact matches) - if one of each duplicate pair has the same date added then you can sort by that and then delete those with (or without) that date.

HT1660 i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?

i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?

Hello rmunsey,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you have two separate iTunes Libraries but would like to add the music from one to the other to have one consolidated library.
If you know where the files are for each library, I recommend opening one iTunes Library in iTunes and importing the files from the other library using the following steps:
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
Adding music and other content to iTunes

Next, you can search for duplicates:
Choose View > Show Duplicate Items to show duplicate items (matches are based on the song name and artist). If you have multiple versions of the same song (for example, live and studio versions, or versions from different albums) you can hold the Alt or Option key (for Mac OS X) or the Shift key (for Windows) and choose View > Show Exact Duplicate Items. This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album.

This should help you identify the duplicates all at one time so that you can delete the extra versions of songs.

How do I get rid of duplicates on my playlist caused by being in the cloud?

So... how do I get rid of duplicates in my playlist, caused by having my music in the cloud? Wiithout, of course, having to delete several thousand songs individually? Grrr! Arggg!

Connect to iTunes. On summary screen for ipod, hit the "Configure Universal Access" button. Make sure none of the checkboxes are checked in the dialog box that comes up. Click apply, then sync and voiceover should be off.
