How to delete duplicate/triplicate songs in library?

Hi,
I recently had to consolidate songs in multiple libraries and pc's into one master PC. I now have about 8 days of music in the new consolidated maer PC library. As it goes, the during the consolidation, I ended up with multiple copies of many songs in the same library.
How can I quickly remove duplicate songs in my libarary without having to check each one individually?
Help.

I have done exactly the same thing. I now have a mixed bag of single, duplicate and triplicate song entries. I have gone through my Playlists and only checked the first copy of each entry but frankly, am not confident about selecting "delete". Can't do much harm to my dups and trips but feel that I could lose singles.
Is there any foolproof method to remove just the exyraneous copies.
Thanks

    How to delete duplicate pictures from Photo Library in iPhone 3G 16 giga?

    The only way to delete photos from the photo library is by the same way the photos were transferred to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync process.
    Are you saying a photo or all photos transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process are duplicated in your iPhone's Photo Library without being duplicated in the folder on your computer where these photos are stored?

    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 do i delete duplicates from my music library. After updating my iTunes the "Show Duplicates" option does not appear in the menu

    If you are on Version 11.0.1 rather than 11 Apple put it back in
    View > Show Duplicates
    Option + View > Show Exact Duplicates
    so if you are on 11 upgrade to 11.0.1 and you will have it

  • How to remove duplicate tracks on my Library?

    How do I quickly delete duplicate tracks in itune library?
    I have many duplicate tracks because I uploaded 5 cds twice.
    I upload cds to my itune library.

  • I cannot delete duplicates of songs off of my iPhone 4s.

    I cannot delete duplicates of songs off of my iPhone 4s. I deleted the songs off of my Windows 8 laptop, but when i check the songs on my device, there are tons of duplicates of some songs (picture included). Could anyone please tell me how to get rid of these duplicates?(Also, there is no "View" button on my itunes like there is for mac users, so i cant really do the automated view duplicates option.)

  • HT5043 How to delete duplicate photos

    how to delete duplicate photos in iphoto

    iPhoto has no built-in duplicate detector. You can spot duplicates by sorting your photos by title or date, or use third-party applications like iPhoto Library Manager, Duplicate Annihilator, Photo Sweeper.
    Old Toad has published a great list of apps that can screen your iPhoto Library for duplicates, see this link:
    Re: How can I search for duplicate photos in iPhoto libraries?
    My favourite is Photo Sweeper, because it lets me stay in control of what will be deleted, shows all metadata, lets me define the criteria for marking duplicates, and can recognise duplicates of different sizes, based on histograms or pixel maps.  PhotoSweeper

  • How to delete a photo from "Photo Library"?

    How to delete a photo from "Photo Library"?

    "Photo Library" is a place where you can access all photos synced to your iphone.  They are not duplicate photos.  It is simply another place form which to access the smae photos that are in your folders/albums
    Just as a book is in the public library and in the fiction section, your pics are in the Photo Library and in your folder.  There is only one pic, simply two places from which to access the same pic.
    If you want to delete pics synced to you iphone, then deselect them in itunes and sync.

  • Does anyone know how to delete duplicate photographs will it affect photostream

    Does anyone know how to delete duplicate photographs I seem to have so many, is this anything to do with photostream as I have an ipad as well. I have over 7000 photos and find it impossible to find them all. When I first got Apple 9 years ago there was a drop down menu that found all duplicates which you could then delete but that was taken off at some point. I would be really gratful for some help i am not savvy with the technical side of computing.
