How do I group delete the large number of duplicate songs I have accumulated?

I have accumulated a large number of duplicate songs (1600+) due to several passes at restoring data to my itunes library.
Is there a way to delete all but a single version of the files that show up when I click on "show duplicates"?

Hey applejcn,
I'd read over this article, it'll go over how to use the Show Duplicates feature in order to remove those 1600 duplicates from your library:

A bit vague as to what you intend, but the simple answer is to select all the files you want to delete then either drag to the Trash or CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the selection and choose Move to Trash from the contextual menu.

I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my Itunes library without having to delete them one at a time. How do I do that?

I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my itunes library without having to do it one at a time. How can I do this. All of my songs have check marks by them. Help!

Then I suspect you do not have iTunes Match enabled. Using that "delete all" command in the Settings does not remove the music from the cloud, nor does it disable iTunes Match. With iTunes Match enabled you will still see all the music.
So go to Settings > iTunes and App Store and make sure iTunes Match is set to ON (green).

How to delete the Request Number

Hi all,
How to delete the Requset Number in Development Client.Already i transported this Req. Number to Tesing Client.

For what purpose, deleting the request number won't restore your dev system. You can remove the request from the import queues via transaction STMS to insure it will not be accidentally imported.
You can usually only destroy a request in source system if it has not been released and all objects are unlocked, but this is risky in some cases and may cause a loss of information or coherence.

Question?
I have accidentally deleted a large number of develped images in Lightroom before I did a backup. I reimported the original raw files back into Lightroom hoping the develop settings would be re-established but no luck. Notice system mau have done an auto-backup as have an lrcat-journal file. Can I use this to restore my develop settings. I also have jpgs generated from all the deleted images.

Hello,
if you have a backup of your catalog you can do the following:
1. Backup your catalog first
2. Restore your backup catalog to some location
3. Open your current catalog and select "files->import from another catalog".
4. Select your backup catalog and your lost images. LR ask you if you want to overwrite the current settings or save them as a virtual copy.
As an alternativ you can open your backup catalog, select the "lost" images and save the development settings as xmp sidecar fiels (using ctrl-s). Then open your current catalog, seletct the images and use "Metadata->Read Metadata from files".

How do I delete large number of duplicates on my Itunes w/o Ctrl+Click

I have a large number of duplicates that were loaded onto my ITunes and I would like to delete them. So far the only way I have found is to go down the list one at a time and Ctrl+Click and then delete. Since Itunes can designate duplicates, is there a function for removing all the duplicates before I synch my ipod???
Windows XP

Itunes can't mass delete duplicates, but one of the forum member has written a script to do it, see:

If you prefer to go commercial take a look at iTsync

I deleted a large number of contacts on one iphone when i got a new one. icloud must have automatically synced to the old one, then synced my new one to that, thus deleting many contacts. can i restore them? can i retrieve a snapshot of my icloud as it existed yesterday?

When a device that is connected to an icloud account has it's contacts deleted, the same contacts at icloud.com are also deleted and then the changes propagate to other computers and devices also connected to the same icloud account. In other words, the contacts are deleted everywhere. Also, any iOS backup to icloud does not include contacts or any of the other Apple data, like calendars, reminders, etc. The only way you can get that data back is if it was on a computer which has been frequently backed up. You restore the data from the backup. (This reference to "backup" is a local backup, it has nothing to do with icloud.)

Fastest Way to Delete a large number of data

I m trying to delete a large number of Data
this Proc will be running every day without disturbing the other Process
SET sql = 'DELETE TOP (100) FROM ' + @TableName + ' WHERE Id IN (Select Distinct Id FROM [state] WHERE ToDel = 1)'SET @Deleted_Rows = 1;SET @Rows = 0; WHILE (@Deleted_Rows > 0)BEGIN BEGIN TRANEXEC sp_executesql @sql SET @Deleted_Rows = (SELECT @@ROWCOUNT);SET @Rows = (@Rows + @Deleted_Rows);COMMIT TRANWaitFor DELAY '00:00:00:01' END
Have you any Idea how can I optimize my Query ?
Thank you very much

Hi, following are few thoughts.
1. If you can manage without dynamic sql then it may yield better performance as except table name there is no need for it as per your query.
2. Ensure indexes are in place.
3. If the table in question is not participant in replication then you may slightly go for higher batch size and again it depends on volume.
Please take a look at the tweaked code.
declare @Deleted_Rows int, @Rows int;
SET @Deleted_Rows = 1;
SET @Rows = 0;
WHILE (@Deleted_Rows > 0)
BEGIN
BEGIN TRAN;
DELETE TOP (100) t1
FROM
tabName as t1
WHERE exists (Select * FROM [state] as t2 WHERE t2.ToDel = 1 and t2.Id = t1.id);
SET @Deleted_Rows = @@ROWCOUNT ;
SET @Rows = @Rows + @Deleted_Rows;
COMMIT TRAN;
WaitFor DELAY '00:00:00:01';
END
Print 'Total rows deleted : '+convert(varchar(50), @Rows);

Oracle Error 01034 After attempting to delete a large number of rows

I sent the command to delete a large number of rows from a table in an oracle database (Oracle 10G / Solaris). The database files are located at /dbo partition. Before the command the disk space utilization was at 84% and now it is at 100%.
SQL Command I ran:
delete from oss_cell_main where time < '30 jul 2009'
If I try to connect to the database now I get the following error:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
df -h returns the following:
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/md/dsk/d6 4.9G 5.0M 4.9G 1% /db_arch
/dev/md/dsk/d7 20G 11G 8.1G 59% /db_dump
/dev/md/dsk/d8 42G 42G 0K 100% /dbo
I tried to get the space back by deleting all the data in the table oss_cell_main :
drop table oss_cell_main purge
But no change in df output.
I have tried solving it myself but could not find sufficient directed information. Even pointing me to the right documentation will be higly appreciated. I have already looking at the following:
du -h :
du -h8K ./lost+found
1008M ./system/69333
1008M ./system
10G ./rollback/69333
10G ./rollback

2K ./inx
3.8G ./tmp/69333
3.8G ./tmp
150M ./redo/69333
150M ./redo
42G .
I think its the rollback folder that has increased in size immensely.

How can I change/delete the icons on the Buttons from JUNavigationBar?

Hi,
does someone know how I can change/delete the Icons used by the Buttons on the JUNavigationBar?
Any Idea?
THX
Peter Zerwes

To change the icons, you could call navbar's setButtonIcon method like:
navbar.setButtonIcon(EXECUTE_BUTTON, myIcon);
To remove/hide a button group you could call one of the
setHas...Button methods (setHasInsertButton, setHasDeleteButton, setHasTransactionButtons, setHasFindButton...) THX Sathish, but my problem is that i want to use the Buttons without the Icons!!
Any Idea?

How to delete a large amount of duplicates in itunes quickly?

I recently had a new hardrive installed, and during the multiple pc backups all my music was doubled, tripled, and quadroupled. Itunes doesnt have a system to delete a large amount of duplicates. I cannot sort them by 'date added' and use that method because they were all added at the same time. Is there a quicker and easier way of doing it rather than deleting all but one of the songs in each set? Because that would take a month to delete 6000 songs by hand....HELP!

The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. 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.

Deleting the personal number

Hi Experts,
I am trying to delete the Personal number of having Infotype 9001.When i tried to delete in PU00 tcode it is not able to delete the infotype can any one help for this solution.How to delete the infotype.This is urgent.

You can delete the infotype from PA30. The only thing is u need to check if the time constraint for infotype is 1, then you need to change is for moment and delete the records. Once you deleted, you set it back to as original.
BTW i am not sure why you are not able to delete it directly from PU00. May i know what is the error you are getting in that.
