HT2905 i am trying to delete duplcates" from my i-tunes....sounds easy...except I dont have a "show duplicates" in my drop down "view menu" !! help please

Anyone help?? I am trying to remove duplicates from my Itunes library....looks easy, except I dont have a "show duplicates" tab in the drop down "view " menu !!
So, what can I do? thanks

Dear iTunes,
YOU SUCK.
Seriously.
I have used Apple products for quite some time. I have no idea why they keep changing everything that has finally become second nature! It is now MUCH more difficult - create a playlist, show duplicates, etc. Its an absolute mess and I have yet to find anyone who does not have multiple complaints.
I have this same problem. All information I look up says use "Show duplicates", which I have done many times for years before. But now when my iPad is plugged in, that option is grayed out for me (unable to be clicked on). I went to the Apple store today and the employee couldn't even answer my questions. I am planning to go back sometime with my computer as well and beg for a solid explanation.
Wouldn't it be nice if these tracks just didn't duplicate? That seems like a proper solution that would suit me well. Until then I just plug in, arrange by song, and go through manually deleting the extras. Often. #wasteoftime #annoying #argh
Good luck.

could it be in the itunes folder or does it have to be in the itunes media folder, which is within the itunes folder??
A Espinoza,
The iTunes Media folder is set in Preferences > Advanced, and is the key to most iTunes folder organizational activities. So I doubt that the automatic deletion will work for files that are somewhere else within the folder structure.
However, I have not experimented with that issue in quite a while, so you are welcome to give it a try in iTunes 11.

Have you tried putting the file from your Drobo, onto your computer, then onto to the external hard drive?

Hi! I have a MacBook and I am trying to delete files from Microsoft Word. Somehow I cannot simply throw them in the trash. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Why not? Are there error messages? Where are the files located? Why are you deleting MicroSoft Word files?

I am trying to delete apps from my Ipad. I have tried to hold the app down until the cross appears but the cross does not appear. Do I have to delete the app in I tunes first and if so how do I do that

deleteing apps for your ipad is disabled. If you are the owner of it go to Settings>general>restrictions and then turn deletieing apps back on.
If you have a jailbroken iPad that will proberly not work.
Hope i helped

I am trying to delete photos from my photo library and it won't let me

I am trying to delete photos from my photo library but there is no trash can. How do I delete these photos?

The same way you put them there. The sync proces.
Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync.

I am trying to delete icons from the desktop but they do not delete

I have tried to delete icons from the desk top but they do not remove. I am not sure what to do.

I click on the desktop icon,( it is an old file I no longer use), I push command and delete, then I put in password. Then it sounds like the icon is deleted but the icon is still there.
Sounds like its permissions have been changed.
Right-click (or ctrl-click) the file and choose 'get info' from the drop-down.
Read the permissions at the bottom of the Info window.
If you don't have read & write access, what does?

Trying to delete podcast from nano (5th) but only seems to have disappeared from iTunes

My daughter set up my nano a few years ago by putting running songs on, which was all I wanted it for then . Am thinking about getting another Apple device so have been teaching myself how iTunes works and also other things about this neglected nano. I decided to try downloading a podcast through iTunes, which worked fine, with it showing in the podcast library and then transferred it on to the nano where it appeared correctly in the Podcast menu and played.
I don't actually want that podcast (was just using it to trial the process ) so tried to delete it from the nano. I thought I had followed instructions gathered from here (the user manual wasn't clear) which said I had to do it via iTunes.
Result: I have managed to delete the podcast from the library (shows as nothing in there) but it is still on the nano.
Woudl be very grateful for help on where I go from here!

Further report: I reset the nano, deleted everything and reloaded the music. It worked - no lingering unwanted podcast - but surely there must be a proper way to do this ?

I would like to know how to DELETE icloud from my iMAC desk top. Would it automrically have synced with my wife's I pad, and other wireless devices, or is it all seperate

Can anyone help me out ?
I would like to get info on how to DELETE
iCLOUD from my desk top MAC.
Would it already have synced to the iPAD?
Apple does not give any info on the iCLOUD,
in a proper way to DELETE..for that matter,
I can't even find "SETTINGS" on my Mac,
let alone settings for iCLOUD.Any info
would be better than what Apple gives up.
Apple is useless when trying to get any information!

You have to search with some patience and you will find all the informations on the Apple support pages and here in this forum.
You find i Cloud in SAFARI at www.icloud.com and set as you like.
Usually iCloud sincs all the devices which have the same AppleID.
If you wish to use devices for different persons you need to give them different AplleID and on the MAC create different User Accounts. Each will be fully separate.
Or you can go to settings (settings are to be found under the apple icon on top left of the screen) and from there open Sistem Preferences and iCloud.

Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch. :(

Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch.

There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
Best of luck.

Can you access the images with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?
