How to undo duplicates.

I bought a Netbook and loaded all of my contents from my 80G ipod, I accidentally clicked on "show duplicates", and needless to say, it did. How can I undo this mistake without a lot of time and or effort????? Thanks for any helpful input!

Hi Jason H,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for trying to help, I have spent hours trying to solve my dilemna as I am not
computer savvy;  but I buy all my iTunes music from my desktop Compaq computer with Windows 7 and transfer my
songs to my iPod via my playlists on the computer...
I don''t have iPhone and the user guide did not help me. I did not  find any settings for iTunes.
My lists of old purchased songs& albums- over 500 songs, all  got a duplicate twin this week with an icon ' download from iCloud'. Do I click on the duplicate icon? I did , they both stay put;  do I delete the duplicate? I don't know, what if both songs get deleted. I tried on one, the message was : are you sure.... :it will be permanenly removed from all gadgets So I can't play my songs from my computer and move around doing my chores They are all bloody twins.!!
.My Computer must have a ghost who likes my music and jinxs me to play them twice. Maybe I need an exorcist.!
How can iTunes do that to a nice customer like me I'll never know. Thank you anyway.
Have a nice day.
Anisette.

  • I found My iPhone contacts on my friends Iphone we both have 4s! But we use the same apple ID and ICloud ID! How can undo what happened? all my private stuff is now on his phone!!! help me plz!!?

    Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
    You can only unravel this by
    1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
    2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
    3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
    4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
    5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
    6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
    Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

  • 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

  • My family put multiple devices on the icloud, and I need to know how to manage duplicate entries.  Specifically contacts.  If I fix the contact list on my pc will it push the info out to the other devices and maintain it correctly?

    My family put multiple devices on the icloud, and I need to know how to manage duplicate entries.  Specifically contacts.  If I fix the contact list on my pc will it push the info out to the other devices and maintain it correctly?

    All devices signed into the same iCloud account will finish up with the same contacts. Of course if prior to joining iCloud two family members each had an entry for Uncle Fred, then you will finish up with two contact cards for Uncle Fred, and so on. If you tidy this up on your computer then the changes will propagate to everyone else.

  • How can I duplicate a control in a subVI using the reference?

    Here's what I want to do. I have a tree control in my main application. I add and delete items dynamically based on user input. If I pass my tree reference to a subVI, I can add, subtract and reorder the items in the tree and the changes are shown on the main tree. How can I duplicate the tree in the subVI? Would I simply pass the tree control in (which I'd rather not do) or is there some other way to accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Gary

    Here's my attempt.  This VI uses a control reference of the old tree and generates a data structure that can be used by the "Edit Tree Items.Add Multiple Items to End" method to add contents to the new tree that should be identical to the contents of the original tree.  Note that this VI only works with LabVIEW 8.0 and later, since the afore-mentioned method is not available in previous versions.
    I hope this helps...also note that I saw some re-draw issues with LabVIEW 8.0, i.e. after the VI ran, I didn't see the tree displayed properly until I minimized/restored the window, or dragged another window over it.  I did not see the redraw issues in LabVIEW 8.2.

  • How do I duplicate layers & groups without automatically adding a "copy", "copy 1", "copy #" at the end of the new group?

    How do I duplicate layers & groups without automatically adding a "copy", "copy 1", "copy #" at the end of the new group?
    It's been pestering me for quite a while now, since I often work with the same elements over and over again. Its frustrating to have to change the name of each layer manually, especially if I'm copying a whole group.
    Is there a setting in Photoshop or perhaps an external script that can help fix this for me?
    Cheers,
    Qiming

    There is no way to defeat this within the program itself. Here's the workaround:
    Duplicate the file (from the Image menu).
    Drag the Group or layers from the Layers list from the duplicate to the image window of the original , while holding down Shift.
    That will make a "copyless" copy and reposition the copyed material in the exact same position it was on the original.

  • How do I duplicate all my data from my existing Macbook to a new Macbook that I purchased last night?

    How do I duplicate all my data from my existing Macbook to a new Macbook?

    Easiest way is to connect them together and use Migration Assistant (which comes with all Macs).
    To connect them, use one of the following:
    ethernet cable
    firewire cable
    Apple Thunderbolt-Firewire Adapter + firewire cable (if your new Mac has Thunderbolt but your old Mac has FireWire)
    thunderbolt cable (if both Macs have Thunderbolt)
    network (wired or wireless)
    Do not use a USB cable!

  • How to print " Duplicate " in FORM ( either Sap Script or Smart Forms )

    hi,
       How to print  " Duplicate " in FORM ( either Sap Script or Smart Forms ) if trying to take second Print Out and the FORM is already Printed.
    Please let me know the condition that we should go for.If possible let me know the SAMPLE code since this will be used in most of the FORMS.
    Regards
    Avi

    Hi
    It depends on which print you're working.
    If it's a print of standard document you can check the NAST (VSTAT field) table in order to know if the document was printed.
    If a message is created you can find the hit in NAST table:
    VSTAT = 0, document not printed;
    VSTAT = 1, documment printed
    VSTAT = 2, print is failed
    If you mean a custom print I believe you need to create a log like NAST table.
