how do i hide duplicates in itunes 10, not delete them

You can't really "hide" content within the iTunes interface, though at a push you could mislabel some of your Music tracks as Audiobooks if you don't mind the wrong content showing up in that section of the library.
Perhaps if you tell us the primary reason for wanting to hide things we might be able to suggest an alternative approach.

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

    I downloaded the latest iTunes version, 11, and now can't find "display duplicates" anywhere.

    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 show duplicates in iTunes 11?

    I just got a new computer and want to make sure I don't have duplicate songs in iTunes, but in iTunes 11 I can't find the show dupilicates option. Please help.

    Apple has removed that feature along with several others, but
    (5/12/2012) Missing 'Find Duplicates' feature in iTunes 11 to be restored - http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57557280-263/missing-find-duplicates-featur e-in-itunes-11-to-be-restored/    "Some of the features Apple has removed from iTunes will see a return, but others may indicate changes to come elsewhere in Apple's product lines."
    Until then you will have to resort to sorting by a particular label such as artist and manually scanning, third party utilities such as Dougscripts Dupin (Mac) or https://discussions.apple.com/message/20570956 (Windows) to deal with duplicates, or revert back to iTunes 10.7.

  • Deleting apps on itunes 11 not deleting them when syncing with Iphone 4s!

    Before I updated to Itunes 11 I used to delete unwanted apps on Itunes and then when sysncing through PC running windows 7, apps used to be deleted on iphone. After updating to Itunes 11 this is not being done. You can sync purchased apps from Itunes to Iphone and also from Iphone to Itunes both directions, but when deleting both directions won't work, therefore in order to delete the app I have to delete apps both on Iphone and Itunes!

    This is a user to user support forum. Apple don't monitor for feedback or to give direct support.
    Ideally you would delete any apps you no longer want on the device either directly on it, or by unticking them when you sync. They would stay in your library in case you want to reinstall later. You can discard from the library also, and in most cases you would be able to download again later if you wanted, but apps do get removed from time to time, or updated so that they no longer work with older versions of iOS. Keeping all your content, and a backup uof it, keeps you in control. Either way removing from the device, then later from the library if you wish, is probably the best way to do it.
    You may find that setting the option under Edit > Preferences > Devices to Prevent automatic syncing... will mean that you get the warning to transfer or remove back when you do sync. Alternatively try Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset warnings.

  • HT204406 How to delete duplicate songs from Libary without deleting them from play list or other devices

    How to delete duplicate songs from libary without deleting them from playlist or other devices

    I'm with you verm71; it's not entirely clear how Apple is expecting you to manage this.  I'm going on vacation soon and want to clean up my phone so that it's nice and empty for the new pictures.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do this without losing your pictures in the new Photos as well.  If imported, it's impossible to see which is the Cloud version and which is the Local version.  It's very annoying.
    I've also noticed in iPhoto you used to have the ability to locate the original of the picture inside the photo database.  That option is not provided in Photos, making finding the original extremely difficult.
    It seems to be a great, well-oiled system.  But I would love to know how Apple envisions the typical workflow for archiving...

  • On my new iPhone4S I downloaded photos from my MacBook.  I have several duplicates and would like to delete them.  I have not been able to figure out how to do so.  Help please.

    I downloaded photos from my MacBook to my new iPhone4S.  I discovered several duplicates and would like to delete them.  I have not been able to figure out how to do so.  Please help?

    Thanks for your reply.  Although I haven't tried yet, I think I will be able to use the photos on my phone, which have been paired, to find the dups in iPhoto and delete them there.  Previously it was very difficult to search for and find the duplicates on the computer.  Now I should be able to use the paired photos on the iPhone to find and delete the dups on the computer.  Then I will sync the phone again.  I think that should work; I hope you agree.

  • How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod

    Please help!!!!
    How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod classic 160GB?

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I assume you've already consisdered manually managing your iPod's contents and rejected that idea.
    I wouldn't recommend it as a solution, but if you delete the files for the albums leaving the entries in the iTunes library you can carry on syncing normally. iTunes will complain that it can't sync the missing files but it won't remove the copies from your iPod. Once you're happy with how things work you can can choose to suppress the error message.
    While handy as a temporary workaround if space is an issue then it's probably time to look at moving your whole library to a bigger drive.

  • Bought apps via AppStore on phone, but iTunes wants to delete them; huh?

    I bought some apps via AppStore on my iPhone, but iTunes wants to delete them when I plug it into my Mac --> HUH?
    What's going on? How do I keep iTunes updated with items I buy via the phone itself?

    Do you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    If you didn't have Sync Apps selected prior to downloading these apps with your iPhone, selecting this after the fact will delete all apps on your iPhone that are not in your iTunes library on your computer.
    With Sync Apps selected which should be selected from the start, after downloading an app with your iPhone, the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. This allows for downloading apps with iTunes on your computer and installing the apps on your iPhone via the iTunes sync process. This also allows for removing an app from your iPhone without deleting the app by deselecting the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync. To reinstall the app again later, reselect the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync.
    With your iPhone connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    Follow this by selecting Sync Apps under the Apps tab and make sure all 3rd party apps currently on your iPhone are selected below followed by selecting Apply.
