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.

  • How do i get rid of duplicates in my photo library?  I imported the photos again by mistake and dont want to do it manually.  is there a way to have iphoto compare and delete all duplicates?

    How do i delete duplicate photos in my iphoto library.  i imported them (1500 pics) twice and don't want to manually go through them all.  Is there a way to get iphoto to compare photos and delete the duplicates?

    There are two apps, actually one app and one Applescript script, for finding and removing duplicate photos from iPhoto. They are:
    Duplicate Annihilator
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates

  • 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

    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.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    I just got an iPad 2 and have not yet synced to my computer. I don't want to have all the duplicate songs in my iTunes. How do I get rid of duplicates?

    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.

  • How can I get rid of duplicate birthdays in icloud Calendar, especially when there are no Contacts in the iCloud? Case ID: 365381395

    How can I get rid of duplicate birthdays in icloud Calendar, especially when there are no Contacts in the iCloud? Case ID: 365381395

    Found the answer myself while helping to set up iPhone.  It is simple when you know how.  Before signing out of iCloud to sign in again and restore the link to Photo Stream I had opted to copy iCloud contacts to the Mac.  When I signed in again this created two iCloud views which can be seen in Contacts Preferences.  I just disabled one of them.  Not brave enough to attempt removal but I gues this would work too.

  • HT4007 How can I get rid of duplicates in a project with out deleting them one by one?

    How can I get rid of duplicates in a project without deleting them one by one?

    What kind of duplicates? Did you import the same image file several times? Aperture does not have any built-in tools to detect duplicates. You will have to do delete the one by one. You could arrange the images by date, so that duplicates are shown side by side in the Browser. Or use a tool like Duplicate Annihilator (the program is not free). I have never tested it but some do recommend it.

  • Ok, What is all this "other" taking up space on my iphone and how do I get rid of it? It's taking up almost half the space on my phone.

    Ok, What is all this "other" taking up space on my iphone and how do I get rid of it? It's taking up almost half the space on my phone.

    "Other" includes data such as iPhone settings, contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cache/cookies, email and email attachments, SMS/MMS/iMessages, notes, app data, Safari cache, cookies and bookmarks, stored passwords, search index, home screen organization, wi-fi network data, etc.  It should normally be about 1 GB.  Yours in an indication there may be corrupt data on your phone.
    Unfortunately the best solution to fix your issue is a restore. Back up your phone, then restore it using iTunes.  Follow this guide:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414.

  • How do I get rid of an iphoto slideshow which was accidentally downloaded onto the desktop?

    how do I get rid of a photo slideshow which was accidentally loaded onto the desktop?  The full screen photos just keep showing.  Thank you for any help.

    What do you mean by loaded onto the Desktop?  Are you referring to a changing desktop picture?
    Or do you mean stop iPhoto from playing the slideshow full screen?  Use the Escape key.

  • I have an iPod touch version 4.2.  how can I get my music from here to my computer or iPad or the cloud?

    how can I get my music from my iPod touch version 4.2 to the cloud so I can listen to it on my iPad or computer? I tried a manual transfer from iTunes but that doesn't work.

    - For iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    - For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • How do I get rid of duplicate identical views of iCloud contacts in 'Contacts' on my iMac

    Here is the left hand window as it appears in my address book.  I had to disconnect from iCloud in order to restore Photo Stream.  The recent iPhoto update had disconnected iPhoto and Photo Stream.  This is now repaired and everything else (Calendars, Notes, Reminders, iWork) seems to be working well.  There are no duplicate contacts just two ways of accessing the same lists.  iCloud to iPad is fine.
    How can I get rid of the duplicate view?  Seen similar problems on this site but not found anything quite the same.

    Found the answer myself while helping to set up iPhone.  It is simple when you know how.  Before signing out of iCloud to sign in again and restore the link to Photo Stream I had opted to copy iCloud contacts to the Mac.  When I signed in again this created two iCloud views which can be seen in Contacts Preferences.  I just disabled one of them.  Not brave enough to attempt removal but I gues this would work too.

  • How do I get rid of duplicate calendar entries in my notifications?

    I managed to get rid of all my duplicate calendar entries on my calendar.  I unchecked all but the two calendars I use.
    The problem is that when I go to my notifications screen, under "Calendar", it still shows all my entries like three times.  How do I get rid of this?  It takes up all the realestate on my notifications.

    Sounds like your syncing Calendars over the air with iCloud, as well as with a supported Calendar application on your computer. Doing both will duplicate your entries, so do one or the other, not both.
