HT2905 How does one remove duplicates in Windows iTunes 11?

Just upgraded to 11. No "show duplicates" option anymore? What gives? Maybe it's hidden...

Show duplicates was missing from iTunes 11.0. Upgrade to iTunes 11.0.1 if you haven't already done so. Use Ctrl+B to display the menu bar if needed.
The show duplicates features are now found under View > Show Duplicates Items or, more usefully, Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items. You need to manually select all but one of each group of repeated items to remove. Don't delete from the hard drive unless you know there really are multiple files instead of multiple references to the same file.
There is also my DeDuper script which automates the process, merges ratings and playcounts and should handle the deletions properly. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.

  • How does one remove duplicate versions of the same songs on an iPhone5?

    How does one remove duplicate versions of the same songs on an iPhone5?

    Yes, I use Live Bookmarks.
    This is the RSS http://www.ctech.com/forum/rss.php
    Each of those entries at the RSS site show up in my Firefox RSS folder twice. The content of each entry when I go to it is exactly the same. It's not that one is the reply to the original post or anything like that. For instance, see the attached image of the list of items that show up. The highlighted yellow on top is an example. Both of those links display exactly the same original post and replies. Why is that? Is is possible that somehow I'm subscribed twice? Does that make sense? How can I delete the duplicates, or for that matter, clear all those items that show on the list? I just want to see the new ones. Thanks.

  • HT2905 how do you remove duplicate libraries from itunes

    I recently purchased a new window9.1 computer.  I tried to move the library to the new pc by using an external haddrive. The songs and other items all transfered, but the mudic remsined on the externalmedia informaiton files, I had to connect the drive to listen to music..  I worked with tech support and copied themusioc files to ITunes. When I reopened the media files and copied music were on the system.  ITunes recognzed there was missing information on the  media data file and corrected it, so oe I have 20,000 sonfs in a 10,000 song library.How do you delete massive duplicates without individually deleting10,000 songs?

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    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 this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup 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)

    How does one remove temporary files from Safari?  A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6.  Now I can't remove her e-mail address from my computer.  When I open Facebook her address shows in the user button.  I do not have a Facebook account.  It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find anything that tells me how to do this.  Are temporary files the same as the cache?  It also was suggested that I try clearing Safari cache.  How do I do that?

    Check Safari/Preferences/Passwords to see if the Facebook account is there. If so, select it and remove it. If you are still having problems, Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari.

  • How does one remove yahoo from firefox?

    please, how does one remove yahoo & any of its features from firefox?
    it conflicts with my ghostery software. if i can not get rid of yahoo, i will have to remove and reinstall firefox. i want to avoid this because it will cause me to lose my bookmarks.
    thank you in advance.

    Hi gunnermac,
    You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. Your homepage might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage.
    There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
    If Yahoo has been set as the default search in the search bar, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Search bar]].
    If the address bar search has been changed as well, you might want to take a look at [[Location bar search]].
    If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]].
    Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware].
    Hopefully this helps!

    Thanks

    Brilliant thank you, only on mine it is called alt as I have only just discovered, and lo, as you say, Save As actually appears!
    Apple isn't so obstinate after all - but why do they make it so difficult to find their simple solution? I even bought a book about switching (O'Reilly's) and nothing is mentioned about any of this.
    I am very grateful to you all, now I have two options!

    Probably for a long time.  Occasionally, there will be a hiccup or a glitch, and closing then reopening the app usually fixes it.  If not, then a restart or a reset might.  After that, you may need to reset settings or try further troubleshooting.  In the worst case scenario, you can always make a backup then restore the backup, since the restore process acts as a 'filter', or even restore as new and test your issue.
    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • HT2905 How does one get rid of duplicates with iTunes 11.0?

    Found an old Apple post about how to find duplicate files in iTunes. iTunes 11 seems to not have this ability, or at least the same way of doing things. Can someone explain how to find duplicates with 11?

    Right now you will have to do it manually by just sorting by track name and looking, or use a third-party tool such as Dupin. Apple has said that the Show Duplicates feature will return in a future update, but provided no timeframe.
    Regards.

  • How does one remove inserted HTML?

    I inserted HTML on a page and it must now be removed. I know it is there in the HTML code, but it does not show when I "Insert HTML" from the Object dropdown.How can I remove the code?

    I finally noticed the embedded HTML object on the page and cntrl-clicked; voila, embedded code was there. I deleted/emptied the contects and exported HTML again. Sadly, more embedded HTML code persists and the HTML object panel is now empty. How do I clean the .muse file?  Here is the embedded code:
