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 then made changes to the song names and added coverflow.
So how do I back up these albums to my hard drive or external drive so if I loose it or want to upload these albums to another computer?
thank you for your help...

Just go to view > show duplicates and delete accordingly. As for backing stuff up, read this:

How to remove duplicates that appear on my Library?

How to remove duplicates that appear on my library?

On the PC or Mac in iTunes, in the File-menu, select "Show Duplicates". Clean them there and resync to your iPod.

Does anyone know how to remove duplicates in the new iTunes?, Does anyone know how to remove duplicates in the new iTunes?

I just got a new laptop (Windows) and downloaded the new iTunes on it. It scanned my computer for music, and after it was done there were up to 5 copies of each song in the library. The "old" itunes used to have an option to remove duplicates but I cannot find a way to do that in the new iTunes. Anyone know?

The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library.
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 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.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. 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.

How to delete duplicate pictures from Photo Library

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 Remove Duplicates Without Changing Album?

Hello All,
I see a lot of topics on how to remove duplicate songs but there is one thing I would like to know if its possible...
I would like to remove my duplicates but I still want to see the songs as part of the albums. Example: lets say the same song is present in 3 different albums. I would like to remove 2 of them but have them still showing up as part of the 3 albums. This way the albums remain "complete".
Is there any way to tool available that can do that? Maybe keeping something like a symbolic link in place of the songs that were deleted?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Not possible and has been asked before.

HT2905 How to remove duplicate songs from the iPhone when the duplicates are not listed in the iTunes library on the computer.

How can I remove duplicate songs from the iPhone4. The duplicates are not listed in the computer iTunes library.

The simplest thing may be to back-up and then restore the iPhone. If you don't fancy that then remove all media that is currently synced to it, then double check and manually remove any media that remains on the device, before reselecting your sync options.
If you've been manually managing the device and your library doesn't contain copies of all your media then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

How do i remove duplicate items from my library

After interrupting a download of a season of TV shows from the iStore, I restarted my computer and the download process started again from the beginning, creating duplictes of episodes that had previously been downloaded. Result appears to be duplicate files in my library. I've attempted to delete the "duplicates" from my library with no success. Are these really duplicated or is it just a display issue. If they are duplcautes, is there a simple way to provent this from hapening again? Seems odd that the download process wouldn't recognize that the files were already there.

Do some of the episodes show up with a cloud symbol? If so sign out of the iTunes store and then sign in again.
Highlight one duplicated episode, right-click and click Show in Windows Explorer. Are there multiple copies of the same episode listed? If so you have true duplicates and can delete the redunant copies from iTunes, sending the files to the recycle bin when prompted. If there is only one copy of each episode then delete the spare entries from iTunes but don't recycle the files.
