HT2905 Display exact duplicates is grayed out - cannot access

When I go to View, Display Exact Duplicates, it is grayed out - cannott access. Even if I could access, will it give me option to delete all duplicates?

Make sure you have updated to iTunes 11.0.1 (or later).
Enable the menu bar with ctrl-b if needed
Use Edit > Preferences > General > Show list views for all media
In Music use the Songs view, or select the List view for other media/playlists
Use View > Display Duplicates or, more usefully, hold Shift and use View > Display Exact Duplicates.
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.

HT2905 Display exact duplicates does not show in my FILE options

When I click on file I do not get the exact duplicate choice

Make sure you have upgraded to iTunes 11.0.1.12.
The features are now View > Show Duplicate Items and Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items.
I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates efficiently. See this thread for background.

HT2905 I want to delete duplicates from my iTunes music but cannot see "Display Exact Duplicates" in File menu.

Hi,
I want to delete duplicates from my iTunes music but and iTunes help says to click on "Display Exact Duplicates" in File men but I don't appear to have this function. Where else can I look?

Thanks Kappy. I had just found it but thanks reply. Next question is: Is there a quick way to then delete the duplicates without having to select each one and delete?

HT2905 My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial. I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added". Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs? Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list.

'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.
Click an audiobook once to select it and hit command-i (Mac) or control-i (Windows). Go to the 'Options' tab and set 'Media Kind' to 'Audiobook'.

HT2905 When I click File, I don't see Display exact duplicates. Help!?

I tried following the instructions in the Apple support forum for removing duplicates in iTunes, but I got stuck very quickly. When I click File, I do not see the option of displaying exact duplicates, which is what the Apple fourm suggests. Advice welcome.

HT2905 I do not have the so called "display exact duplicate" option... what do I do? I just updated itunes the other day. Yeah, I'm not happy!

How do you display exact duplicates in Itunes 11. It is now missung under the file?

How do you display exact duplicates in Itunes 11. It is now missung under the file?

Right-click on this direct link to ExactDuplicates and "download" or "save link as..." to a location of your choice. Double-click to the file to run it. You should get something a bit like this:
If your system will allow it my script will produce a progress bar so you can see what is going on, otherwise you will have to be patient, it will carry on working in the background.
After scanning for duplicates it then adds them to a new playlist. For large libraries this process can be quite slow. (Very slow if you also have old hardware like me.)
Finally you'll get a results window like this (from a different test run, as I didn't have time for the full one to finish when I was grabbing screenshots).
You can use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Leave at least one track behind from each repeated group and don't send anything to the recycle bin unless you are sure you have more than one physical copy.
The DeDuper script has several advantages over cleaning by hand. Automating the process allows preservation & amalgamation of ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. See this thread for more detail.

Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location.

Hi, guys
I cannot view delegate mailbox in Outlook. Following is my configure.
I have two mailbox A-User and B-User
Login Outlook as A-User, click File -> Account Settings -> Delegate Access, add B-User and give Editor permission of Inbox.
Right click A-User's root inbox and select Properties -> Permission, select B-User and check "Folder visible".
Login Outlook as B-User on other computer, click File -> Account Settings -> Account Settings, select B-User and click Change -> More Settings -> Advanced, add A-User.
Now I can see a root A-User in Navigation Pane. But when I click it, it shows
"Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location."
or
"Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location. The operation failed. An object cannot be found".
I searched some solutions from internet, but all of them don't work. Could you give some suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
First, please double check if you have given the right permission to B-User on your step 2.
In addition, we can try to give a higher permission to the B-user to check the result.
Please feel free to post back and let me know the result.
Best Regards,

HT2905 I don't see display exact duplicates under the file menu. Where is it?

I'm trying to delete duplicate files in iTunes

The show duplicates feature is now under the View menu. Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Or use my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

How to Not Display Exact Duplicate Rows in Report

I have a report that displays many duplicate rows where all fields in several rows are exact duplicates. I would like to know how to make it so that the entire row does not show up if it is an exact duplicate of another row. Any ideas? Thanks.

I literally have been pulling my hair out for the past 3 days with the same issue. I'm new to SSRS. I created a new report where I basically only wanted to show order header info, but unfortunately, some of the info I need to show at the header
level is only kept at the detail level. So, when I linked the order header to the order detail (one to many) I got a duplicate row for every line that was in the order detail. I tried to group just by order number (thinking it would roll
all the dups up) but that didn't work. Doing a group on all the fields on the report did the trick.
I owe Mainiac007 a beer!!!! :)

I-cloud grayed out, cannot even click it. (Ipad)

Using multiple I-pads, with apple configurator. When I try click on the Icloud option on the I-pads, its just grayed out. I'm logged in, but cannot access I-cloud. I need to access it, so I can restore the I-pads on configurator. (This also would be helpful, so I can turn on find my I-pad in general. I have tried many things to make this work, and I'm tired to having to reset I-pads completely to restore them or even being able to click on I-cloud.
Thank you

I'm not sure if this is related to the Apple Configurator or not, but normally if the iCloud setting is Grayed out and inaccessible you fix it by going to Settings>General>Restrictions>Accounts and set this to Allow Changes.

Why are duplicate titles grayed out but shown downloading?

I have an album downloaded from iTunes that shows duplicate titles of each song when looking on my iPod Music on my computer. These titles are grayed out and include the downloading symbol. I have deleted them several times but they always come back. What is going on?

Ann, thanks so much for trying to help me. I'm a novice and you might just want to give up....
I'm using CS4, have installed the contact sheet II feature since I was familiar with it. Just now tried your suggestion and was able to get all 9 pix as far as output preview in Bridge.
Here are the instructions that I'm following and had followed once before successfully while using CS:

Itunes Visualizer will only display fullscreen, other options grayed out

I am using the newest version of itunes on Vista SP1.
The visualizer worked perfectly at first, in the song list window size. I wanted to try it fullscreen so i went through the menu and chose show full screen, and it worked.
But i would prefer to have the visualizer in a non fullscreen mode. When i go to pick one of those modes through the menu, the options are grayed out, and if i use the ctrl+0,1,2, or 3 while the visualizer is going it just exits fullscreen mode and closes the visualizer all together, leaving me looking at my playlist.
Any ideas or key sequences?
I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing changes.
Thanks in advance!

For new iTunes with latest update, any help ?

Hi JorgeQ,
The Duplicates function is still available, it's just been moved. It is now listed as "Show Duplicate Items" under the View menu.
