HT2905 Where are "duplicates" in Itunes 11?

Since I started using ITunes to keep my music "organized" it has been anything BUT. I have to spen a considerable ammount of time either finding the files because it happens regulary or deleting duplicates. Even though it was a flawed option, Show Duplicates was helpful but since I upgrade to v. 11.0.0.163 it just dissapeared, vanished . I need some advice or guidance 'cos the only way to go to improve things that I can envisage is to go as far as possible from ITunes IPhone and Apple.
Thanks.

Hi,
General concensus is that the old Show Duplicates option has (for some reason) been removed from iTunes 11. You're not the only one feeling the pain, by a long shot. On top of that issue, my library has been significantly mangled. There are LOTS of bugs with 11 and clearly the Duplicates issue needs to be addresed, but don't think you're missing something... it's just gone. At least for now.
Good luck!

Where are iPhoto library, iTunes, Safari bookmarks, desktop icons...?

When installing Leopard, my main internal "Macintosh HD" (where all my programs are loaded) didnt show as an option, so I installed on my secondary HD. Leopard runs OK from here, BUT, I cant find my iPhoto library, iTunes, Safari bookmarks, desktop icons, and the programs in the dock no longer show. Any advice?

Sadly, this is still an issue.
I guess plan A would be to find all the settings I am now missing and point the various programs to them. Though not sure how to do either of those things.
If this is difficult, then plan B is to "boot back into ...Tiger drive" and reload Leopard in drive bay 1 as originally intended. Again, not sure how to do that - and why it didnt work the first time.
Pls let me know if you think this is the right plan, and if so, what would the steps required look like.

Where are IMixes in itunes 10?

I can not find a way to get to iMix in itunes 10.0. It is not listed under More to explore in the Music section. Where is it?

I don't suppose anyone has figured out how to create an iMix (not even sure if that is exactly what it's called anymore - it has been so long since I made a mix) in iTunes 10. A dear friend recently passed away and I wanted to create a playlist of a his favorite music for all of his friends to purchase for download... I actually would like the proceeds (or a portion) to go to charity in his name, but have a feeling that may be pushing it!
Any suggestions GREATLY appreciated!
OK, just found this link:

You have to OWN the music, create the playlist in your library then follow instructions at the link above... Seems I recall not having to OWN all the music just to compile a playlist for purchase.

HT2905 Where has Display Duplicates gone in iTunes 11

There is no Display Duplicates in iTunes 11 - if I had known I would not have updated this is essential when adding CD's to the library - and I can find no way to contact apple as I have to have a product with a serial number to ask them a question about iTunes!!!! Can anyone help or ask them where Display Duplicates has gone.
I am in the middle of loading up all my husbands CD's and I have a ton still to do and this Display Duplicates is essential.
HELP

Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
There is also 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.

Where are the iTunes visualizer .bundle's?

In the past I've installed a bunch of iTunes visualizers. Recently I wondered why many have disappeared from the Visualizer menu in iTunes.
indeed, I found a bunch of visualizer .bundle files in here:
/library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins, both on my user library and the system library.
Here's the kicker though- none of those show up in the menu in iTunes. And those that do show up in iTunes.. are not in the beforementioned Library Plug-ins folders. And no, these aren't the standard iTunes visualizers, but custom ones I installed from wowlab. But I installed them just by placing them in the iTunes Plug-ins folder.. so how come they're gone from that folder, yet they are the only ones that work in iTunes?
So it seems almost like the working .bundle's are somewhere else. But where?
Halp... how do I get the rest of my visualizers working again?

It depends on how you have iTunes Preferences set. The default is that when you drag files into the Music list they are copied into the library (so now you have two copies). You can change this so that all the iTunes Library contains is a references to the files - effectively an alias. Obviously if you move the files, iTunes can't find them.
In your case, if your iTune/iTunes Music folder and the album folders inside it contain actual music files then the files outside the iTunes folder are duplicates and can be removed. If the files are simply references, and thus very small, then you can't remove the actual music files.
The quick test is to close iTunes and remove them temporarily. Then open iTunes and see whether your songs play. Scroll through the list looking for the small i in a circle sign to the left of the title which indicates it can't find the file. If you don't find any then you are safe to get rid of the duplicate files.
In doing all this do not tamper with anything in the iTunes folder.

I dragged my ext. HD iTunes backed up folder into my new mac. Now there are duplicates of every song!! The problem is both versions seem to actually BE there when I check the info. Now I have no idea if iTunes is playing the files in the trash or not

Hi. I'm in a situation here and would really welcome some guidance. I dragged my ext. HD iTunes backed up folder into my new mac. Now there are duplicates of every song. Both versions seem to actually BE there when I check the info. So, I moved what I thought were duplicates into the trash from iTunes, and resigned myself to the fact that I would have to do this manually for each album. I did this with about 10 albums. I emptied the trash and lost them even though they still LOOKED like they were in iTunes. I repeated the process tonight on a bunch of other albums not realizing yet that I had screwed up terribly the first time. This time I saw what had happened and pulled the files out of the trash, onto my desktop and dragged them back into iTunes, then deleted the duplicate files that had exclamation points next to them. Now I have no idea if iTunes is playing duplicate files from the trash or not, and am nervous about emptying the trash. Anyone dealt with this before? Thank you

Where are my Camera Roll pics n videos saved in iTunes(Laptop) when I backed up my iPhone to iTunes?

I backed up my iPhone today in order to save my Camera Roll pictures and videos safely in my Laptop and then I deleted them from my iPhone to make some free space.... And I want those pictures and videos in future back into my iPhone. So I know I must restore my iPhone from back up to get back the camera roll pics and vids. But what I want to know is, where are those pictures and videos saved in my Windows Laptop when I backed up my iPhone to iTunes today? There must be some folder of iTunes or somewhere in the iTunes software where they must be saved after backing up. I want to see them on my Laptop now but how can I do that?
I did not import them, I backed up my iPhone to my Laptop using iTunes.
I want to see those pictures on my Laptop since I deleted them from my iPhone after backing up. Where are they in my Laptop now???

they are in the backup file that, sadly, is not accesible unless you restore it to a phone... if you want/need access to them, you should import them

How do I show my iCloud purchases in iTunes, but prevent it from showing duplicates of the songs I already have on my computer? There are duplicates of essentially everything! :(

How do I show my iCloud purchases in iTunes, but prevent it from showing duplicates of the songs I already have on my computer? There are duplicates of essentially everything!
I would like to show my available songs that I could download if I want, however the ones I've already downloaded to my computer are showing up still, which results in duplicates of everything (one on my computer, one in the cloud)

No.
Are the photos in an iTunes backup? If so then:
- You can restore another iPod touch, iPhne or iPad from that backup
- Extract the photos from that backup by

How can it that half of my songs are matched in iTunes Match where the other songs from the same CD (ripped by Itunes) are not matched but uploaded?

I started with ITunes Match a few days ago (I have the latest versions of all OS's etc)
- The whole process took more then two days to complete for the first time.
- Half of my songs are matched in iTunes Match where the other songs most of the time from the same CD (most ripped by ITunes) are not matched but uploaded(?)
- Complete CD's are not recognized, they are however available in the ITunes store (songs in my library not available in ITunes are an exception).
- The match part overall is less then 50%, which is a complete disappointment.....
- When I activate ITunes Match on my IPod, IPhone and IPad the art-work does not load or only partly.
- Loading songs on iOS is extremely slow... and that is definitely not due to my internal network.
- ICloud (ITunes Match) on the apple TV stops working after every 15 seconds because it losses connection to the ITunes server....
I am a real Apple fan for the last decade but what a disappointment is this......before I started with ITunes Match everything worked seamlessly.

The number of Songs that 'matched' is simply a function of the current iTunes Match service process. It is not unusual to have multiple Songs in an otherwise perfectly matched album be uploaded - often it is very possible to find the album in the iTunes Store.
The Artwork does tend to reappear for many over a few days / weeks - however, if your library backup has all Artwork present it would be wise to save the Album Art separately and reapply to Albums not showing art work in the library grid view.
Many of the other performance issues you mention are not typical - though during the past working week or so the Apple Infrastructure has been very heavily loaded with multiples countries having service go-live symultaneously.

HT2905 Is there a way to automatically delete exact duplicates in iTunes 11

Has anyone found a way to automatically delete Exact Duplicates from iTunes 11. As I read the instructions, it can only be done by comparing the songs with the same title, making sure that it is the same album, etc. Then I have been going through the duplicates and pressing CTRL in Windows to select the next duplicate song to delete. I have a very large library and this is going to take hours.
I guess I didn't get the instructions correctly when I backed up my Library to move from an old laptop to a new one. I am going to have to go back and read those again because this brand new HP is having problems like the past few that I have received from HP. I will never recommend an HP Product, I can tell you that.
Thanks to all for reading this and I hope someone has an answer to automate it.

When deduping 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. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks. 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)

If you still have the original library on the old laptop see this migrate iTunes library post. It may be easier and/or better to redo the transfer...

Where are my books!? Sync-ed iTunes 10.6.3.25 on Win7 with new iPad3 WiFi/3G and iTunes shows (on my PC) that I have 590 "ebooks" (PDF's

Not to repaet myself, but... where are my ebooks?
I sync-ed iTunes 10.6.3.25 on Win7 with new iPad3 WiFi/3G and iTunes shows (on my PC) that I have 590 "ebooks" (PDF's & a few epub's) on my iPad, but for the life of me I can't seem to get to them on the iPad3 itself. If I open iTunes on the iPad3 it only shows a bland grey screen with a link to the "iTunes Stores Terms and Conditions…"? And my iBooks is empty, so is Acrobat Reader which I installed?
What gives? Gulp… help!?

That is troubling!
I downloaded the Kindle app on my iPad1 tonight, logged into my Amazon.com account and was able to download the books I had bought on my Kindle to my iPad! I am a VERY HAPPY CAMPER!

How do i get rid of duplicate songs on my ipad that are not in itunes

I have multiple devices and recently joined iCloud and iMatch. My problem is that on my iPhone 4 and iPad when I connect they show that I have 4800 songs on them. I only have 1400. The extra songs are not on itunes and are not on the devices. If I select the device drop down and the look at music I can see all 4800 and it's multiple duplicates of songs that I own with a Syncing symbol by them. I can not select them, delete them or anything. But they are taking up space on my devices according to iTunes. iDeas? This is on a PC Win 7

Hello courtney_rae33,
It sounds like you have deleted song music from your iTunes library on the computer but after syncing the phone to your computer the songs are still on the phone. From what you describe it seems as if iTunes and the iPhone are set to Manually Manage the content. This article will help you determine of that is the case:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
Connect the device to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. If your device isn't visible in the upper right corner of the screen, choose Library.
Click the Summary tab and select "Manually manage music and videos."
Click Apply.
Manually add or remove content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
After following the steps above, you can add individual songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your device. To add content to your device:
Select your device.
Click "On this Device."
Then choose "Add to" in the upper right corner.
While viewing the media in your iTunes library, if you drag a song, video, TV show, or Movie a sidebar will appear on the right. You can drag content onto the device. You can also create and modify playlists directly on the device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Where are my purchased movies through iTunes stored on my PC? I need to back-them up on a hard drive and then I want to play them on my iPad

They're in the iTunes folder, in iTunes Media or iTunes Music depending on when your iTunes was first installed. The iTunes folder by default is in My Documents/Music.
