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.

How to remove text without changing background
Hey there,
I'm having an issue. I need to remove the text saying "A Innland", but the background isn't quite the same at all points - the further right you go, the lighter it becomes. How would I go on about removing this?
The text is ingrained in the picture, it's originally not a photoshop file with a text layer on top.
I am using Photoshop CS6.
Thank you in advance!Here's another way.
Press M for Rectangular Marquee Tool and select a strip of gradient above "INNLAND".
Press Cmd+T for Free Transform and stretch downwards to cover the type.
Do the same procedure to cover the "A". -
How to remove duplicate items ?
ok so ive moved my iTunes library from the NAS drive I bought (after finding out that wouldnt work) onto my new laCie external drive, but ive found some of my albums have triple copies?
i know how to show duplicates but im not sure how to safely remove duplicates without deleting all copies?Oh boy.
I'm sure there are better ways to do it than this and it will take time, but to avoid all possible loss of data, what I would do is first consolidate all of your libraries.
• Open the iTunes Library you think is most correct by holding down the OPTION key when you open the iTunes application, which should bring up a dialogue like this: http://cl.ly/image/2i2Q3o0Z0Y3C
• Then go to preferences and make sure it looks like this: http://cl.ly/image/2C2Z0u0C3T3c
I would recommend keeping your main iTunes library on your main hard drive (for me that's my internal), unless you definitely can't fit it.
• Now go to the File menu >Library > Import Playlist
• Navigate to another of the libraries, and click on the iTunes Library.xml file and import it. Do this for each of your libraries, except the one you are currently using.
• Now that you've got everything imported into the one library, the fun part starts.
Do what i said in my previous post and remove all the duplicates.
• Once that's done, check all the other libraries to make sure you haven't missed anything, and send them on their way to the Trash, and empty it to reclaim all that space.
I really hope you get this sorted, I went through an ordeal like this myself recently, so it's going to take time, but it feels good when it's all cleaned up and finished!

PS. After writing all this I thought, hmm, why didn't I just Google it instead of figuring it out myself? ;P
I found this, and it might help if my instructions weren't clear enough. https://bitly.com/LpqFPq
Also, if you don't already, I urge you to use Time Machine backup. Read more here: http://www.apple.com/osx/apps/#timemachine and http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html -
Remove duplicates without using Sort OR Script compnent OR Staging ?
Team , Can some advise on how do we go about removing duplicates without using either of above option quoted in the subject lines ? My source is a huge flat file .
Thanks in advance !
Rajkumar YeluguI think you can do like this
1. Add a Data Flow Task with flat file source
2. Add a multicast to flat file source
3. Join an output from Multicast to Aggregate transform and group by your required field and take min or max over a unique valued column(s) (id or date or primary key)
4. Add a Merge join transform and add the multicast output and Aggregate Transform outputs as sources. join on the group by fields from aggregate and include min/max column also in output
5. Add a conditional split and define an output as unique valued column(s) >(<) Min/Max value from aggregate
6. Join the defined output to your destination to get only distinct records from the duplicate sets
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs -

How to remove duplicate songs from Itunes
I've consolidates my music in Itunes 11.01. Playlists are just getting crazy with duplicates.
I want to eliminate duplicate music files, as well as eliminate the references in the interface.
Then sync my new IPad.
When I manually erase a duplicate in Windows Explorer, I'm left with a "!" indication in Itunes that the file cannot be found... duh.
I want to find either an easier way to eliminate duplicates without Windows Explorer, or
a way to select all the "!" references in Itunes interface and delete.
Help please from a completely organized person who hates Apples "intelligence" at thinking it knows what I want, and not providing
adequate help under "remove duplicates" in its help index.

How to remove duplicate POP messages in Mail under Mavericks
Hello
I'm having some significant problems with Apple Mail, and despite having researched widely, I haven't been able to find a solution yet. Here is my tale of woe...
My set up is that I use Mail with 5 separate accounts, downloading all messages using POP. I keep ALL my mail (even the trash) so that I have a permanent record of all conversations, going back more than 10 years - this is about 250,000 emails in around 250 subfolders. I'm running the latest version of Mavericks on a 2010 MBP. I have no intention of moving to IMAP - I need to keep a local archive of all my mail.
A few months ago I was having problems with Mail being very slow to load and search emails. I decided to rebuild the mailboxes, but afterwards discovered that thousands of messages in the inbox of one of my accounts (and some of the sub-folders) had disappeared. Once I realised I tried to go back to a recent Time Machine back up, but, for whatever reason, that part of the back up hadn't worked properly and I was unable to recover the previous status. I left it while I decided what to do, and had time to deal with it...
The last 2 years worth of emails on that account were still archived on gmail, so last week I decided to try redownloading the whole lot (something like 72,000 messages), and then planned to use one of the scripts I was aware of to remove the duplicates to the trash, and then remove any duplicates in the trash forever. That ought to mean I at least had an archive of the last two years of missing messages, even if I had no record of which ones had been flagged or replied to, etc.
The downloading took about 24 hours to complete, and I now have almost 70,000 messages in the inbox of that account. I also rebuilt all the folders again, which doesn't seem to have resulted in any further loss of messages as far as I can tell. However, I hadn't figured on two things:
1. Mail 'hides' duplicate messages, meaning that all of the messages I've downloaded are showing as unread, and I can't differentiate the ones I already had in my Inbox, and the new downloads. When I click on those apparently unread messages I can see if they have been replied to or forwarded, etc, but there's no obvious way for me to remove the ones I have already dealt with to the trash, without going through them all manually, which is clearly impossible.
2. The scripts I'd found for removing duplicates don't work. Andreas Amann's Remove Duplicates script doesn't work under Mavericks, and he has abandoned the project. I've also tried the remove-duplicate-messages.scpt made by Jolly Roger (http://jollyroger.kicks-***.org/software/), and while it *sometimes* works on individual subfolders on my Mac (but as far as I can tell removes the duplicate in that folder, rather than the newly downloaded version), mostly it doesn't work at all - it creates a 'Remove Duplicate Messages' folder on my desktop, a log inside it and a folder for removed messages, but nothing appears in the duplicates folder.
So, I'm left in a position where I have 70,000 apparently unread messages in my Inbox, a massively bloated Mail library (which has pretty much doubled in size, because of the 'hidden' messages), a slow and unresponsive Mail program. I've come to the conclusion that there must be some corrupted email somewhere, which probably caused the original email haemorrhage, and may still be causing the inability to remove duplicates. Mail is so slow as to be almost unuseable.
I figure I have a number of options:
1. I could live with the situation and just archive most of the Mail in my inbox, with the side effect that there will be a bunch of messages I have never replied to that are missed.
2. I could abandon the last week's efforts and revert to the version of Mail I was using a week ago, and then redownload the recent emails from my various accounts. That would still leave me without those thousands of emails I lost on my local machine.
3. I could find another way to deal with this. Can I get the remove duplicates script working? Should I revert to the version of Mail from a week ago, download ALL the messages again, but do it in a way that allows me to find the duplicates and remove them? Should I move to another email program altogether (which would presumably be massively disruptive to my work!)
Anyway, apologies for the essay length of this request, and thanks in advance for any help you may be able to offer!hi Eric
thanks for the tip, but I don't think that solves my problem, which is that Mail apparently hides the duplicates, so they're still there, you just can't differentiate or remove them. I actually *need* the duplicates there so I know I've got everything, but then I need to be able to move the ones I know I've dealt with from my inbox to an archive/trash, and/or remove them completely so Mail isn't totally bloated
