How do to I locate & delete empty song titles

I had to reformat my boot drive, so I upgraded to Win 8.1. After doing so I used the Add File to Library option to reload my music. Now I have two problems-
1. I have hundred of duplicate songs of which the first of each duplicate is empty. Meaning that it can't find it and asks if I want to locate it. Since I have a valid version below it I'd want to delete it. HOW do I get all these empty song titles together in one place to delete?
2. I have my old .itl and .xml files. How do I use them to recover my playlists and RATINGS?
Many thanks~

G'day
You can use non-Applescript solutions to give you hints.
The above posts point to a property of layers which is also available through Applescript — page items.
So, maybe try...
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
    activate
    tell active document
        repeat with x from (count layers) to 1 by -1
            get page items of layer x
            if result is {} then
                delete layer x
            end if
        end repeat
    end tell
end tell

How do I find and delete unauthorized songs from my computer?

How do I find and delete unauthorized songs from my computer?

Terence,
Yes, the duplicates appear in the iPhoto window. I have folders with same name occuring two or even three times sometimes with exactly the same set of photos (ie photos with the same ID) and sometimes with a limited set of photos. Other folders appear only once.
I normally take my MacBook with me if I'm shooting a lot of photos, such as on holiday, and then want to transfer them to my iMac when i get home. Other times I transfer the camera's memory stick directly to my iMac.
I have great difficulty transferring the photos from my MacBook to my iMac. I don't want to store my photos on my iDisk due to the length of time it takes to upload them.
Thanks again.
Simon

How do I go about deleting mulitple song files all at one time as opposed to deleting them all individually off of the latest version of iTunes

How do I go about deleting mulitple song files all at one time as opposed to deleting them all individually off of the latest version of iTunes?
Also I have tried authorizing my computer to play the songs I purchased off of iTunes when I had an iPhone 4 and it will not allow me to play them whatsoever. I now have an iPhone 5 and wish to load these past song purchases onto my new phone. How do I solve this issue?

what you're missing to export multiple files is the batch export command available in the file menu or by control clicking on the items in the browser. You can export multiple sequences/clips at full resolution with this.
This has been available in fcp for a long long time.
Wow, you are right. Now that you mention it, I can't believe I never noticed that. Thanks.
Only if you have the 'Self-Contained' box checked. Otherwise you'll end up with a reference movie.
Correct. That box is typically checked by default. There are other default settings you could change that would not result in a full-quality version, but what I meant was hitting that option from the pull-down menu, then changing nothing and hitting ok.

How do you display the now playing song title in miniplayer?

I can't seem to change my preferences such that I can see the song titlle of the current song playing in my miniplayer.

Song Title, artist and album is always shown on miniPlayer, unless you hover the mouse over it, or if it is selected (highlighted) rewind play or forward buttons. Try highlight Up Next or Serch button (if by pressing Tab or Shift+Tab you can higlight next or previous item, respectively).

HT2905 How do I find and delete Duplicate songs in iTunes v11.0 (163)

Resigned Match- now, how to delete 20K song titles?

OK, I tried Match, but after a few weeks, had to resign. I got a refund, but… my iPad still shows more than 20,000 songs "in the cloud". Of course, they can't be downloaded. And I can't play them, either.
There should be about 100 "real" songs on my iPad. And the 20K songs that were "previously uploaded" should have vanished.
But they're still there.
How can I get rid of them?
TIA.

In the Music app on theiPhone, swipe across the song then tap Delete.

How can I upload again a empty song

Hello, I'm having a problem with an AAC file of my band (not yet released on the store) that got uploaded empty on the first days of iTunes Match.
This AAC is totally empty, and when my devices trie to play it, they stuck on it or just skip to the next track.
Is there a way I can upload it again on iTunes match or just tell Apple to delete it so that I can put it there again?
I'm also worried that when my album will be on the store, someone may have problem downloading that file.
P.S. Is there a email where I can ask this question directly to apple?
Thank you.
L.M.

Hi Micheal,
Thanks for the reply. I followed the step you told me but, unfortunately, after the upload the situation is the same as before.
My guess is that the entry of the hash of the file is in some way corrupted and the "matching" algorithm fails.
As a proof of this, another member of my band tried to upload the same AAC, and got a corrupted version too.
This is really too bad.

How do I stop itunes deleting my songs

When I open itunes on my laptop all my media is missing, all preferences have reverted to original settings, have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, have deleted all content from itunes media files but it just keeps happening any suggestions?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

HT1339 How do I get rid of the songs title that is faded on my ipod and there is no musicÉ

Do I go back to factory setting if I want to start my ipod over again. I have a lot of music tiltles in my music section that are faded out & I can not play the music. I have moved my music folder around as I bought a new computer. Please advise.

You are asking two questions, I believe. One is how to remove songs from the iPod without doing a Restore (erasing the iPod).
The other seems completely unrelated to the iPod. I think you have a situation where you have manually moved your iTunes Media folder (outside of iTunes), so iTunes no longer knows where your song files are located. Therefore, in your iTunes library (not your iPod), the songs are greyed out and cannot be played.
Does that sound right?
If so, do you still have your old computer, where your iTunes library worked properly?

I can't delete some song titles from my IPad 2.

I loaded 2 play lists, but it appears that more song got loaded. I tried to delete the extra songs but when I did the slide on the song no red delete button appeared. I also tried to play theses songs but they are not there. The titles are there but no data. I don't want these unwanted song or titles on my device. How do I remove them?

Then it is not on the iPad. You are seeing it in the iTunes library on your computer. If it was on the iPad, you would see it in the Videos App or in Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Videos>TV Shows. If you want to delete it from iTunes, click on the TV Shows icon at the top left of the iTunes window, then right click on the TV show icon and select Delete.

Parental Controls does not delete explicit song titles

If music has explicit lyrics, parental controls makes this music inaccessible. That's fine, but parental controls should also make explicit titles invisible. Why display the titles of music that cannot be accessed to children?
Message was edited by: Richard Reid1

The Explicit controls in iTunes are only for iTunes store content.
If you RIP CDs or get music elsewhere, they are not marked explicit in iTunes.
Why not create a user account on the computer for your children and add only the content that you deem appropriate?

How can I remove and delete songs that are stored in iCloud? I really dislike this feature.

I really hate this idea of having all of the songs that aren't on your iPhone being out back in there through I cloud. They aren't on my device for a reason. Thanks a lot iTunes.
How can I remove and delete these songs from my iTunes account in purchased history.

Transfer to your PC/Mac

Then copy to Flash drive

Duplicate song titles for imported CD library

Had my computer crash, but had music files backedup. Had itunes installed at the time, but not the latest version. Up and running now with XP Pro/service pack 2. I can see all my music files. Installed the new version of itunes as a new user since the harddrive was reformateed assumed this was right. Everything seemed to load fine - supposedly music files were converted, etc. When checking Music Library, I saw all my music (over 300 CD's) successfully imported and something strange was all my former playlist were listed in the playlist column. Now here is the problem - in Itunes music library, for each song there is two or three duplicates under the same CD title. When trying to make a new playlist by dragging a song over to a new playlist title, only one of the songs can be movee. The other duplicates cannot be moved and as soon as I click on one, an exclamation marked is recorded by the song. Since I've got the 40GB IPOD, I had created playlist for each artist and so just about all my music was in a playlist and is my IPOD. For the few CD's I had previoulsy added(before the crash) that were not in a playlist, these songs are not duplicated and can be moved to a new playlist with no problem. Tried the unistall and reinstall, this did not work. Tried deleting some of the old playlist, unistalling and reinstalling to see if the duplicate song title problem was solved and this did not work. Besides manually massaging my entire CD library to delete the empty song titles, is there something I can do? (By the way, the crash was a software probelm and not a hardware issue)

when I burn a cd the track listing does not show the song titles when it is in someone else's computer, but it does when it is in mine. Any suggestions?
After you burn the CD in your computer, select the CD in iTunes.
Make sure the song info is correct then menu Advanced -> Submit CD track names.
This will send the info to Gracenote, which is where iTunes (and other apps) get the track names.
Dunno about the icon.

"remove titles before song title"

How can we remove the numbers before song titles in I tunes. This is causing numerous duplicates and make my house keeping a night mare.

Hello Linco,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I found an article with steps to edit the song information in iTunes:
To change the name of the song, artist, or album:
Select the item you want to edit.
Press Enter.
Type the new information.
To edit song or CD information:
Select the song or CD you want to edit, and choose File > Get Info (or press Control-I).
Click Info and make your changes.
Tip: If you’re changing the same information for multiple items (genre, for example), you can select all the items and change the information for all of them at the same time.
To change information without changing the files on your hard disk:
By default, changing information in iTunes also changes the file’s name on your hard disk. You might not want the filenames to change if, for example, the files are used by other apps on your computer.
The full article is listed below. It says iTunes 10, but this should work for iTunes 11 as well:
iTunes 10 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1467
I also found an article that has steps for identifying duplicates in iTunes. This has steps for iTunes 10 and earlier. In iTunes 11, instead of going to File>Display Duplicates, you can go to View>Show Duplicate Items:
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2905
I hope this helps get you back on track!
Best,
