Is there a quick way to delete all songs on my iPhone 4, running 5.0.1?

The last time i synced my iPhone on iTunes i must have chosen the wrong option to put 2 new songs onto my Playlist (on iTunes) and then i chose Autofill. What happened was all/most of my songs duplicated. i did accidentally chose to the duplication option since the 2 new songs were of the same title. i thought only those 2 songs would sync "duplicated", not the entire Playlist that i created for this device. This List of music is not titled as a Playlist on my iPhone, only shows as my Library of songs + album art work. Ugh.
When i did a search on the iPhone Manual (in Chapter 8) i was only given the option of going to the iPhone songlist, swiping each duplicate song & choosing "Delete". Ugh. That will take a really long time since i now have 1500 songs. HELP! & Thanx. Each time i tried a search in the online communities regarding deletion of the iPhone music there are no communities offered. i do NOT want to delete the Playlist from iTunes only the music from my iPhone so i can resync the single versions of each song.

My first thoughts on your problem JLDraw, is to connect your phone and open in itunes and uncheck your lists or songs, sync so you have no songs on your phone and re-select your songs and/or playlist that you wish to have on the phone and sync again. And don't forget to uncheck the auto fill. Maybe there is an easier way but thats my first thoughts. Good luck

All the tunes in my library have duplicated. 1,1,2,2,3,3, etc. Is there a quick way of deleting the duplicates? I have Windows 7.

All my tunes in my library have duplicated. 1,1,2,2,3.3. etc. Is there a quick way to delete the duplications - I have over a 1000. I have Windows 7.?? Help please.

in iTunes Mac there is in the File menu "show duplicates", should be there too in the windows version of iTunes. Just mark every double and delete it from the library.

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone?

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone? IOS 7.1. Every other phone in the market allows you to 'select all' then delete.
This trick of selecting one, then holding move, then unchecking (and subsequently moving all the emails to trash) doesn't work. I've read these suggestions and while it appears to work the emails just show up again once you leave and return to the inbox. Perhaps it worked on an older version of IOS.
It blows my mind this is not a standard function. I get a few hundred emails at work every day, and most of the time I just want to delete all of them from the phone as I've read them already. Currently it seems i can only click edit and then have to check each email individually to be able to delete them at the same time; this is the definition of tedious. I would think there are millions of other iphone users who get their company email on their phones that must experience the same thing. It seems now i either spend 20 minutes a day deleting emails, or just let thousands of emails accumulate on the phone (taking up space and also making it hard to just review the most recent emails which is all I want to be able to do when checking email on my phone).
I am hoping I am just missing some simple solution here that everyone else uses. Please help!!

Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
Apple - iPhone - Feedback
While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.

Is there an easy way to reimport all songs in my itunes folder?

This may sound like a weird question but here goes... When I bring up my iTunes I have 8731 files (mostly music) that come to about 41.33G's but when I right click on my iTunes Music folder and select properties there are 8809 files and a total of 48.5G's. I am trying to free up some disk space and can't figure out why there is such a difference. I had issues with Norton 360 and removed it but I had to restore my music files from an external drive and when I did so I lost the links for music that I added after my last back-up. I noticed that TV shows I bought from Apple were not in my iTunes but I was able to locate them in the folder, and import them back into iTunes. I have a feeling there are music files in my folders that are not linked to iTunes but can't figure out how to import them without going through all 8800+ files. Is there an easy way to import all the files without losing the current playcounts or a way to figure out which files may be duplicated in my iTunes Music folder. Seems like I am wasting 7G somewhere that I would like to recover. I already went through the duplicate songs and that didn't help. Any suggestions would be great...

I have a feeling there are music files in my folders that are not linked to iTunes but can't figure out how to import them without going through all 8800+ files. Is there an easy way to import all the files without losing the current playcounts
AFIK there isn't an easy way of linking up to a lot of dead tracks and retaining play counts etc, except by finding the dead tracks and repairing each link individually. The only exception to this is if there is a simple error in the path that can be fixed by a search and replace on the xml library file, then rebuilding the library. However it doesn't sound as though that would be a solution for you.
This MacMuse tip has a way of finding dead tracks if that helps.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121967
It is much simpler to sacrifice the playcount information and just reimport your iTunes Music folder. Then you can eliminate the dead tracks with a script. One of the forum members has written one that you can find here:

Is there a quick way to "fit all" in the arrange window?

Does LP8 have a quick way to fit everything in the arrange window from any magnification level? Something comparable to double-clicking on the magnifying glass in Pro Tools?
For instance, let's say you've made your tracks very tall by control-down-arrowing a bunch of times. Now you want to quickly go back to having every track header showing in the arrange window. At first I thought that the key command "control-option-z" (zoom to fit selection horizontally and vertically) would work if you command-a selected all regions first. That does work horizontally, but if I have a region at the bottom of my track headers, that command does not seem to work vertically. The region at the bottom is still out of view.
One thing I tried was going to the key commands dialogue box and assigning option-2 to "save as zoom 1" and option-3 as "recall zoom 1." But when I start with everything visible in the arrange window, then hit option-2 to save that zoom level, then use the magnifying glass a bunch of times to make everything big, then hit option-3, it does not take me back to the original zoom level that I "saved" as option-2.
If the only way to get back to square one is to start there, then control-option-marquee-select to magnify a few times, then control-option-click on the background the same number of times to get back to where you started, well, OK, I will live with that.
But I am thinking there must be an easy way to "fit everything in window" with just one click, or maybe some kind of key-modified click.
Any advice much appreciated,
Jim

OK, thanks for the advice, Erik. I was hoping not to have to use the zoom sliders or the stretch scrollbars method, since it's not as fast as a one-click or double-click method.
One other possibility I was investigating today was saving a screenshot and then recalling it. The manual says:
Saving and Recalling Screensets
Screensets are numbered from 1 to 99 (using only the 1 to 9 computer keys—the 0 key
is assigned to the Stop command by default).
You don’t need to save screensets with an explicit command. It happens automatically,
as soon as you switch to another screenset. Thus, without any effort, your current
working view is always stored as the current screenset.
To create a screenset:
1 Press a numerical key, say 7.
For two-digit screensets, hold down Control while entering the first digit.
2 Arrange your windows as desired, including changes to zoom settings, relationship of
the Arrange area and editor areas, open or closed Inspector and Media or Lists areas,
and so on.
To recall, or switch between screensets, do one of the following:
m Input the number of the desired screenset (1 to 9).
I thought that had real possibilities. Make the arrange window the size of my whole project to begin with, then save it as, say, screenset 3. Then if I zoom in on a wave form or change the size of everything, just recall screenset 3 to get back. Unfortunately, it apparently constantly keeps track of all your changes, so if you zoom within screenset 3 and then try to recall the screenset 3 that you saved, it just takes you to where you are currently, after all the zooming. I don't understand why Logic thinks that helps you, but that's how it seems to work.
Anyway, I've spent enough time on it. I give up. I guess I will use control-left-arrow, control-right-arrow. Unfortunately, you cannot do them both at the same time, it seems, which would be faster. Oh, well.

Is there a quick way to change all paths??

Hi -
Crazy idea here. I have a Flash CS3/AS2 project that when burned on DVD (as Data) exposes many files and folders to users that I would prefer they didn't have access to. All the user needs to see is "START.EXE" and "START.app".
I know I probably should have built the project like that from the beginning but that is a long gone opportunity and now I'm looking for options.
If I try to make the files/folders "hidden" (Toast 9 lets me do that) then Windows doesn't see them to launch the project... it only sees START.EXE.
If I put all the files inside another folder (_FILES) and then make a shortcut to the EXE for WinXP, and an alias to the APP for Mac outside that folder... it only works on the Mac. WinXP launches only START.EXE... and is unable to see/find any of the rest of the files that make the project.
I want to show the user only the START files - nothing else. All the other files should be concealed in some way or put in another directory.
There are a few ways to work this on the Mac side but not the WinXP (and probably other WIndows OSs)
Is there an AS2 way to accomplish this ??
TIA your input,
jl

Hello,
Check if the text captions all use the same object style (perhaps Default Caption Style)? If yes, change one of the Text Captions and choose then Apply this to all objects with ... (icon in the center, curved arrow). If you want to add more captions with the same style, be sure to save also this as the Default style (second icon, the diskette).

HT1535 Is there a way to delete all songs, music videos, tones, and TV shows from my iPad?

I can't figure out how to delete songs and videos and such manually on my computer while the iPad is synced. Some of my songs and videos copied on my iPad twice and one set of the songs and videos doesn't play at all. But, I can only delete the set that can actually play. I want to delete all my songs and videos and re-sync everything.

Most music can be redownloaded but movies cannot.
There is no need to re-download anything.
Close iTunes.
Delete or move the iTunesLibrary.itl and iTunesLibrary.xml files from the iTunes folder.
Launch iTunes and create a new library.

Why does itunes match delete all songs from my iPhone leaving me music less in the mountains! :(

i went through a drive through the mountains recently needless to say with out radio, only sourse of music... my precious iphone. well aparently after i had subscribed to itunes match it felt the need to go behind my back and delete all the songs i had previously on my phone! *** apple? i had to do an emergency pull over and yank out my macbook and when i pluged it in sure as could be no music stored on the phone so i was apparently streaming music chewing up a huge chunk of my data in little over two hours!i had to shut off itunes match on the macbook and the iphone and sync again just to get some music!!!
There has to have a solution!! why did it do this? Did anybody else have similiar issues?

I have the same problem and I'm not sure this addresses it. I want to subscribe to iTunes match using my Mac; the intention being that I can then remove all the subset of my tunes from the ipad mini, and when travelling listen to music on the iPad mini via iTunes Match.
So the question still remains, does the music stored on my iPad mini get automatically removed when i subscribe to iTunes Match, or do I have to remove it??
Also, my iPad mini is showing that 1.8GB of storage is taken up by music at the moment, will all of this be freed if I subscribe to iTunes match and delete the music (irrespective of whether this is done manually or via an automatic delete).
Thank you

Some of the albums in the Beatles package I downloaded from itunes will not sync with my iPhone 5. Some songs won't play. They did sync to my iPad and they all play on my iPad. What can I do? I've already deleted all songs from the iPhone and re-synced.

I downloaded the entire Beatles collection from iTunes in 2011. Some songs skip and won't play. Some albums won't sync to the phone but they sync to my iPad. I've deleted the entire music library from my iPhone, shut the phone down, turned the phone on and synced again to add the music but now 2 albums won't even sync (Rubber Soul and Revolver). I've tried dragging the songs to the iPhone, no luck. Any thoughts?

Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

Is there a quick way to replace all the faces in the crowd with those of a few friends' faces?

I took some photos of the crowd at the fabulous McCartney concert in Phoenix. I would like to replace them with the faces of three people for an article I'm doing about the concert. I was hoping that there was a feature that would automate this somehow or at least cut a few hours off the work.

Is there a way to transfer all songs off of an ipod and not just purchases?

I recently purchased an MSI wind netbook, with windows xp home. I was wondering if there is a way to import all songs into the itunes library? I have all of my songs on a gateway solo, but I screwed that computer up and have never gotten around to fixing it. I enabled disk mode on the ipod, and accessed the hidden files on the ipod. I can get to all of my songs, but their names are all four capitol letters. I could copy them all to a new folder and then import them, but this would be only as a last resort as I dont have the patience to spend 5 hours organizing the songs. Please help!
