How do you display exact duplicates in Itunes 11. It is now missung under the file?

Right-click on this direct link to ExactDuplicates and "download" or "save link as..." to a location of your choice. Double-click to the file to run it. You should get something a bit like this:
If your system will allow it my script will produce a progress bar so you can see what is going on, otherwise you will have to be patient, it will carry on working in the background.
After scanning for duplicates it then adds them to a new playlist. For large libraries this process can be quite slow. (Very slow if you also have old hardware like me.)
Finally you'll get a results window like this (from a different test run, as I didn't have time for the full one to finish when I was grabbing screenshots).
You can use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Leave at least one track behind from each repeated group and don't send anything to the recycle bin unless you are sure you have more than one physical copy.
The DeDuper script has several advantages over cleaning by hand. Automating the process allows preservation & amalgamation of ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. See this thread for more detail.

  • How do you display your music from iTunes in Ventrilo?

    Not sure how many people use or are familiar with the program Ventrilo (online - chat program, used in video games, etc) - there is a way to display the song you are listening to beside your User Name in the chat window on Ventrilo, however I cannot figure out how to do it on Mac.
    On PC, you just right click your user name and click on integration in the drop down menu.  Apparently on the Mac version, the "Integration" option is not there.
    Anyone have any solutions/fixes?
    Thank you.

  • How to Not Display Exact Duplicate Rows in Report

    I have a report that displays many duplicate rows where all fields in several rows are exact duplicates.  I would like to know how to make it so that the entire row does not show up if it is an exact duplicate of another row.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

    I literally have been pulling my hair out for the past 3 days with the same issue.  I'm new to SSRS.  I created a new report where I basically only wanted to show order header info, but unfortunately, some of the info I need to show at the header
    level is only kept at the detail level.  So, when I linked the order header to the order detail (one to many) I got a duplicate row for every line that was in the order detail.   I tried to group just by order number (thinking it would roll
    all the dups up) but that didn't work.  Doing a group on all the fields on the report did the trick.
    I owe Mainiac007 a beer!!!! :)

  • HT2905 I updated the latest itunes software and Display Duplicates is no longer under the file menu. How do I get rid of all the duplicates?

    I just upgraded the itunes on my PC and the display duplicates option is no longer found under the FILE menu. How do I get rid of the MANY duplicate songs I have in my library with out the display duplicates option? HELP

    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See thisthread for background and please take note of the warning tobackup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
    Note if some of the duplicate items have the iCloud link icon sign out of the store, then sign in again.

  • HT1386 HOW DO YOU DISPLAY DUPLICATES IN PLAYLISTS?

    How do you display duplicates on the playlist with the new itunes format?

    Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this lists make no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
    There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicates 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.

    My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list. Why???

    'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.
    Click an audiobook once to select it and hit command-i (Mac) or control-i (Windows). Go to the 'Options' tab and set 'Media Kind' to 'Audiobook'.

  • HT2905 I want to delete duplicates from my iTunes music but cannot see "Display Exact Duplicates" in File menu.

    Hi,
    I want to delete duplicates from my iTunes music but and iTunes help says to click on "Display Exact Duplicates" in File men but I don't appear to have this function.  Where else can I look?

    Thanks Kappy. I had just found it but thanks reply.  Next question is:  Is there a quick way to then delete the duplicates without having to select each one and delete?

  • HT2905 Is there a way to automatically delete exact duplicates in iTunes 11

    Has anyone found a way to automatically delete Exact Duplicates from iTunes 11.  As I read the instructions, it can only be done by comparing the songs with the same title, making sure that it is the same album, etc.  Then I have been going through the duplicates and pressing CTRL in Windows to select the next duplicate song to delete.  I have a very large library and this is going to take hours.
    I guess I didn't get the instructions correctly when I backed up my Library to move from an old laptop to a new one.  I am going to have to go back and read those again because this brand new HP is having problems like the past few that I have received from HP.  I will never recommend an HP Product, I can tell you that.
    Thanks to all for reading this and I hope someone has an answer to automate it.

    When deduping use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove.

  • HT2905 Display exact duplicates is grayed out - cannot access

    When I go to View, Display Exact Duplicates, it is grayed out - cannott access. Even if I could access, will it give me option to delete all duplicates?

    Make sure you have updated to iTunes 11.0.1 (or later).
    Enable the menu bar with ctrl-b if needed
    Use Edit > Preferences > General > Show list views for all media
    In Music use the Songs view, or select the List view for other media/playlists
      Use View > Display Duplicates or, more usefully,  hold Shift and use View > Display Exact Duplicates.
    Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send 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.

  • How do I delete exact duplicates in my library?

    How do I delete exact duplicates from my library?

    @Blouwagie:
    You should always make a bootable backup BEFORE you do major updates.
    If things go wrong you can always revert to what you had previously.
    You can do this with Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. (I use CCC for a long time, and I'm very satisfied about it, I can recommend it)
    It used to be donation ware, but now you need to pay a small fee. Not a big price for always knowing you're safely backed up.
    If you don't have a bootable clone from before the update, and would like to revert to 10.7, check this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4560565
    seems to work.
    didn't need it myself since I waited to update, I always check this forums first to find out what are the issues/bugs.  When there seems to be none or little problems, I update. I've learned my lesson long time ago. Patience is a good thing...
    So, always backup. More important than your changing underwear daily. Time machine isn't enough. Make two bootable clones. One at your place and one at a different location (theft, fire, ...), you can always revert from there.

  • When apple no longer includes an optical drive how are you going to burn an itunes playlist

    when apple no longer includes an optical drive how are you going to burn an itunes playlist

    Well, I don't want to buy an optical drive if I buy a new Mac without one. However, iTunes will not allow "burning" a playlist to anything except a real optical drive.
    Now, I am not running Mountain Lion so I don't know if iTunes for Mountain Lion allows it or not - could someone please let me know if it is possible.
    For me, on Snow Leopard, I cannot find a way to burn, create, duplicate - whatever you want to call it - a playlist to a virtual drive, a USB drive - nothing but a physical drive.
    It just makes me wonder if iTunes provides (will provide) an alternative when there is no physical drive included.
