HT2905 "Display Duplicates" in iTunes 11

There doesn't seem to be a "Display Duplicates" item under Files in iTunes 11.  Anyone know where it might be found?  I love it when they change versions but don't change the Help answers.

Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this lists make no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicates copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. 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.
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 the others 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. Same advice to backup applies.

  • HT2905 How do you display duplicates in iTunes 11?  I cannot find it.

  • HT2905 What happened to the "Display Duplicates" in iTunes 11?

    Just updated to iTunes 11 and thought I'd do a little cleaning up.  But I can't find the File > Display Duplicates or better yet, the File > Display Exact Duplicates.  Is it gone?  Or is there now a different (hopefullly better!) way to get rid of duplicates in iTunes 11? 

    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. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.

  • Is there a new way to Display Duplicates in iTunes 11?

    Used to be under file Display Duplicates but now it is gone.  Anyone found the new way?  Is there one?  Did they really take away that functionality??

    I not this is no consolation, and I am upset that this functionaliy is missing. But I think the best thing we can do is let them know that we want it back. I've already sent off a feedback form to Apple. I'm sure it'll fall on deaf ears, but maybe if enough people do it asking for "Display Duplicates" back mayb we'll see it in an update. You can fill out a feedback form for iTunes here http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • What happened to display duplicates in itunes 11

    Just upgraded to itunes 11 and it seems display duplicates is no longer available? Really useful tool

    I think it's been removed, which is frankly astonishing. It wasn't a perfect tool but did help when you have a large library. It needs putting back ASAP. I've submitted feedback via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • How to display duplicates in Itunes 11

    Since I listen to a lot of classical music, accurately synchronizing track titles is very important...
    And, with an 80 gig Ipod Classic, I cannot get my whole library [95 gigs +] on it at one time...So, with itunes 10, you could display duplicates which really helped me sort and uncheck multiples of any given classical piece...But that feature appears to be gone with itunes 11...
    WHYYYYYY?
    Dave

    If I was better at web design, or at least had more time, I'd have found a better way to list the scripts and explain how to use them.
    I have occasionaly thought about giving each script its own page with screenshots etc. showing how it works and what its output should look like, but that project seems too daunting so I leave it for later. Much later...

    I'm not sure why this is such a big issue now. I can only assume the new layout makes dupes more irritating than before for people who've put up with them.

  • HT2905 My version of iTunes doesn't show "Display Duplicates"  let alone display Exact duplicates.  Any ideas?

    Display duplicates is not an option under my File menu.  Any help would be appreciated.

    The Show Duplicate Items command is under the View menu if you're running iTunes 11.0.1 or later.

  • HT2905 I updated the latest itunes software and Display Duplicates is no longer under the file menu. How do I get rid of all the duplicates?

    I just upgraded the itunes on my PC and the display duplicates option is no longer found under the FILE menu. How do I get rid of the MANY duplicate songs I have in my library with out the display duplicates option? HELP

    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 thisthread for background and please take note of the warning tobackup 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)
    Note if some of the duplicate items have the iCloud link icon sign out of the store, then sign in again.
