How do you delete duplicates in 11.0.3.42?

Hey fbrickf,
I'd check out the following article:
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2905
The only difference is that, iTunes 11.0.3, instead of being located under File > Display Duplicates, it is under View > Show Duplicate Items.
Cheers,
David

How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist?!

How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist - everytime I connect my hard-drive it adds another of every single track - argh!!!!
I remember there being a 'delete duplicate tracks' option on a much older version of itunes - is this still available and if not if you opt for the 'consolidate library' option will this automatically save to you computer as I have too much music for my laptops memory capacity! On top of that how can I stop this issue from contantly re-occuring everytime I connect my hard-drive?! Apologies if im being thick here.... xX*laura*Xx

You are doing something wrong, iTunes doesn't add tracks to the library unless you ask it to, so there is a problem somewhere in your workflow which is creating the duplicates. For example, having iTunes set up to "Copy files to the iTunes Media folder when adding to library" and then repeatedly adding in a folder from an external drive would do it.
Once you've worked out how to stop creating new duplicates you can look at the issue of deduping what you already have. See this recent post for some thoughts and a script that may prove useful.

How do you delete duplicate songs in your library without having to delete each song individually??

Go to iTunes, select view and click show duplicates. Hold control and A ( select all) and then delete.
Not a good idea! The "show duplicates" feature shows "all" duplicate tracks, but you only want to delete the "extra" copies, not the "originals".
I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background, including how to delete the extra tracks manually if you prefer.

How can you delete duplicate songs in total, not one at a time?

How can you delete duplicate songs in total, instead of the tedious task of one at a time. I have hundreds of duplicates.

Maybe:
Duplicate songs on my iPod Touch: Apple Support Communities
Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
Also maybe
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
I know this will work
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

How do you delete duplicates but keep the orginials?

How do you deleter duplicates but keep the originals?

Mark,
Since you are having a problem that is not directly related to the original (and old) post (and I say that because this thread seems to answer the OP's question, but not yours), it woud be better to ask in a new thread. New threads have a better chance of getting answered, and you can give credit to good answers of your own questions. I..e., if someone else answers your question in this thread, you cannot give them credit.
When you pose your new question, it might be good to include a screen shot and a better description of how you have deduced that two projects are identical, along with what you have done to try to find them and where exactly you have looked.

How do you delete duplicates

???
help i need to delete my dupilcates and i dont know how?

While there are 3rd party programs that can help, iTunes does offer a feature to help make finding and deleting duplicates easier. Under the View menu there should be an option of View Duplicates. This feature reports back all songs with the same Song Name and Artist. From here you just have to select the song or songs and press the delete key. Tedious, I know, but the only option within iTunes itself.
Downside of this feature: The View Duplicates will report anything that has the same Artist and Song Name, that means that if the artist has the same song on multiple Albums those songs will appear too. It also will return songs with the same name even if they are not the same length of time.
What all that means is that you should not just delete every copy, but consider that some songs may be live versions or extended versions that just are not marked as such. So, delete what ever duplicates you want, but be careful when doing so.
I hope this helps.

How do you delete duplicates in your itunes using the iPhone?

Lots of duplicates, very annoying, how can I clean this out?

Lynn
Are you using Safari, or Chrome? Firefox? If in Safari go to Bookmarks then Show All Bookmarks, look for bookmarks bar, right click on the bookmark and select delete. Chrome and Firefox are similar. Go to Bookmark Manager see where your bookmarks are right click and delete. Hope this helps!

How do you delete duplicate songs from your iPhone that do not show up in your iTunes library?

everytime i purchase songs on itunes and sync them to my iphone 4, the songs downloads twice. one as the actual song, and the second one doesnt do anything. when you click on it, it just skips to the next song and doesnt play anything. also this second song has this cirlce dot thing next to it when i am scrolling through my songs in my music...so how do i get rid of this second download? its really annoying to have and it wont let me delete it off my phone. alsoooo since it doesnt show up in my itunes library, i cant delte it off there either! HELP PLEASE

On the springboard, locate the app you want to delete. For this example, I’ll use WeatherBug.
Tap and hold down the icon of the application you want to delete. After a few seconds your screen will start to “wiggle” and an X will appear next to each of the apps you’ve installed via the App Store.
Tap the X next to the icon of the app you want to remove. When prompted, selectDelete.
And now it’s gone.
If the application is listed in your iTunes Applications as well, you’ll want to remove it from there – or else it will re-install the next time you sync. Alternately you can keep the app in your iTunes Applications, and set iTunes not to sync all applications, just the ones you want to keep. See the Applications tab of your device the next time it’s connected in iTunes for syncing options.

How do you delete Duplicate loops from AMG (third party loops)?

I bought two packages from AMG but after installing them in GarageBand I noticed that some of their loops appear twice in the loop browser. I guess there was a copy of each of these loops in both AMG packages. I've tried playing some of them - just to make sure they're really copies of each other and they sound exactly the same. There are not many of these duplicate loops but they are scattered throughout the different categories in the loop browser.
Is there a way to just delete each duplicate as I come across it in the loop browser or do I have to do something else to get rid of the duplicates?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Regards,
Jeff

I guess it will remain a mystery that I will have to live with unless someone can give me a clue as to where GarageBand is putting these loops or doing to these loops (like re-naming them something else) after I install them.
When I drop in new loops the computer does give me a message that says it's putting them in the Apple Loops folder but when I look in that folder the loops that I just installed are not there. When I search for them using a Smart Folder or Spotlight or 'command F" they don't show up. I also tried searching for individual loops with the "AMG" in the front of the name of the loop and without the "AMG" in the front of the name of the loop and they still don't show up in any of the searches - yet they are there in GarageBand ready to use.
I just don't know.
Thanks everyone for trying to help me. I appreciate your time and effort.
Regards,
Jeff

How do you delete duplicates from iPhoto import?

I've noticed that when I imported my library from iPhoto, Aperture has imported all versions of images that I've edited over the years (the ones kept in the "original" folders.
Is there a quick way of finding all duplicates ie. time and date for ALL of my images so I can cull the superseded versions imported from iPhoto?
15" 1.67Ghz Powerbook 2GB RAM 100GB HDD Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1GB Ipod Shuffle, 4GB Ipod Nano, 60GB Ipod Photo

iPhoto will add the keyword "iPhoto Edited" to images that are edits, and "iPhoto Original" for the originals. So you can create a smart album that has that keyword.
