How to delete duplicate songs in ipod "recently added" folder

Hi,
For some reason I have multiple duplicate entries of the same songs in my iPod. How do i clean these up? iTunes will not let me delete these (in the Edit menu the "Delete" option is grayed out).
TIA!

look under the edit or file menu for "show dupe" that should show you what you have more than one of and delete it.

    How to delete duplicate songs from libary without deleting them from playlist or other devices

    I'm with you verm71; it's not entirely clear how Apple is expecting you to manage this.  I'm going on vacation soon and want to clean up my phone so that it's nice and empty for the new pictures.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do this without losing your pictures in the new Photos as well.  If imported, it's impossible to see which is the Cloud version and which is the Local version.  It's very annoying.
    I've also noticed in iPhoto you used to have the ability to locate the original of the picture inside the photo database.  That option is not provided in Photos, making finding the original extremely difficult.
    It seems to be a great, well-oiled system.  But I would love to know how Apple envisions the typical workflow for archiving...

  • How can delete duplicate songs in itunes

    how can i delete duplicate songs in iTunes?

    I have the same problem, where my music library shows duplicates of just about everything I put in iTunes now. It began about a month ago. As far as looking at Date Added, well they are duplicates all put on at the same time. It isn't a matter of the title showing up later, or my having accidentally added the same song twice (say, from different sources or compilations). This is a problem with Apple I think because it just began a month ago and I changed no settings, nor did I do anything else. It just began to happen out of the blue. Anyone know about this?

  • How to Delete Duplicate Songs in iTunes 8

    Is there an easy way to delete duplicate songs in iTunes 8?
    A friend of mine with a large CD collection and I share music. The trouble is that in the process of exchanging music we have created quite a number of duplicates.
    Is there a way to automate identifying and removing duplicate songs?

    hi,
    you aren't missing this. Show duplicates is NOT a tool to allow to simply select all and hit deleted. It is showing you the duplicates, one beside the other, to allow you to discriminate two songs having the same name but that may not be duplicate. For exemple, they may be two different version of a same song and that you want to keep them. For this reason, automated process are somehow risky to loose also song that you want to keep.
    however, if you still want to proceed with an automated script, you can find some at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/.
    Personnally, I would still discriminate duplicated songs manually by reviewing the list of "show duplicate" to avoid deletion of song I wish to keep. I also have a quite large library and found many songs having the same name and not being duplicates.

  • How to view duplicate songs on iPod??

  • How to delete duplicate songs itunes for windows?

    How to delete multple duplicates of songs on Itunes for windows?

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    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 this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup 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.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to. There are other ways to deal with deal links alone, but those won't preserve that information.

  • How to delete repeated songs on ipod?

    How can I delete repeated songs on my ipod classic?

    The File menu has a "display duplicates" option at the bottom of the third section. This will bring up all duplicate songs within a playlist, album, artist, or the music list. I do a search for an artist or album at a time, then edit/select all (ctrl-A after selecting a song), select one of each song (holding the control key down allows you to select the ones you want without deselecting the rest), then I hit the delete key to delete the unwanted duplicates (the ones still highlighted). This is kind of a brute-force method but I don't anything more efficient.

  • How to delete duplicate songs from ipad

    I noticed that I have duplicates songs on the iPad but not on iTunes on my PC. I even sleected not to sync music and synced my iPad with iTunes. To my surprise I still have 33 songs left on my iPad after the sync. I then selected the sync music again and I still have the same duplicates. Any idea how I can delete the songs from the iPad? I'm running the latest OS on the iPad.

    I have the same problem as above. I turned off icloud and stopped automatic downloads. I deleted all music from my ipad but it still left the new tracks I downloaded yesterday with duplicates. They won't play or delete even by swipping or deleting all music. They look slightly different too, they have a circle with a square in the middle at the end of each track (like a stop playing symbol). If I sync the tracks I can delete the ones which play but not the duplicates. it's driving me mad!!!
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • How to delete duplicate songs quickly

    My Mac has multiple duplicate listings of songs.  It is tiring to go through each one and delete it.  How can I do this quickly?

    Hello Brenda,
    It can get very tedious to find duplicates manually, but iTunes has a feature of showing duplicate items so that you can see them all at once and delete the duplicate that you want to remove:
    Choose File > Display Duplicates 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 File > Display Exact Duplicates. This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album.
    If you are using iTunes 11 (the latest version of iTunes at this time), you will need to go to View>Show Duplicate Items (you can hold Alt or Option here as well to get the Show Exact Duplicate Items option).  You can find the full article here:
    How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2905
    This should help you identify the duplicates all at one time so that you can delete the extra versions of songs.  I hope this helps get you back on track!
    Best,

  • How to delete duplicate songs on itunes

    how do you delte duplicate songs on itunes?

    no need to use any script, no need to pay "duplicate cleaner apps".. duplicates appears on your iTunes folder or where you pointed ... Open your music folder where you located them, you can see duplicated items... for example "Hells Bells.mp3" and duplicated one "Hells Bells 1.mp3" and the other duplicated one "Hells Bells 2.mp3"...
    just cmd+space and search 1.mp3...
    Choose "Show all in finder" ...
    Choose all of duplicated mp3 items...
    Delete them.
    If there is more than one or two duplicate, go ahead.. search for 2.mp3 or 3.mp3... choose duplicated items.. delete them..
    Tadaaa...

  • Duplicate Songs On iPod When Adding New Playlist?

    Hi All-
    I'm experiencing a new problem that is driving me crazy. It seems to have started after the last iPod updater but that could just be coincendence. Now, whenever I copy a playlist from iTunes to my video iPod, it will copy most of the song files as well (not all of them but a good portion) - making many duplicate song entries on my iPod that I then have to go in and delete?
    Any ideas?

    For Authorization issue see:

  • How to delete duplicated m4a file in "Recently Added" List in iTues?

    I followed the instructions given by WICLEE and managed to customize my Ringtone but I couldn't delete the duplicated m4a file (after created a AAC file) from the Recently Added list where i selected the music for downloading. However, i managed to delete the m4a file from Windows Explorer and uncheck the deuplicated file when i sync onto my iPhone5 as a new Ringtone, it worked.  Can Wiclee advise how to delete the unwanted m4a file from the list?  Thanks much. 

    It will disappear from the Recently added playlist after 2 weeks.
    Or you can edit the Recently added playlist to include ONLY music.

  • How to delete duplicate calendars on iPod touch?

    Hi, I have duplicate calendars that show up in iTunes in the iPod sync prefs and on my iPod touch but that don't show up in iCal. Since they get all transferred to the iPod I have a huge amount of duplicate entries as I cannot deselect just one of them.
    How would I go about deleting those entries from the iPod and/or the iPod sync preferences?

    I have the same issue on my iPod Touch, but with only a handful of birthdays (not all birthday entries). I've tried removing the birthdays from the contact entries and then putting them back in, but that only removed 1 copy temporarily. When I put the birthday back into the contact entry and sync it shows only 1 date entry, but then after syncing again it goes back to 2 duplicate date entries.
