ITunes and Duplicate Songs...

Does anyone know of an EASIER way to delete duplicates then holding CTL and clicking?? I'm running ALOT of duplicates here. If there is a way to like just select one of the duplicates for all of them at one time...That would be awesome. Thank you.

Check out Robert Jacobson's scripts at:
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/
There is one to delete duplicates and also one to remove dead tracks - ones iTunes can't find.
It's best to download the EXE version and you chose the script when you run it.

    I synced (updated) my iphone to itunes and some songs were deleted from my iphone playlist on my phone.  On the computer, a circle is next to the song and the title faded out.  What the heck is that all about and how do I get my songs back onto my phone playlist?  Never happened before.  My software is up to date?

  • My old computer had itunes and downloaded songs that I put on my ipod. My old computer got replaced years ago without saving hard drive info or passwords and my iPod burnt out and will not activate. How can I get access to my old songs on new computer.

    My old computer had itunes and downloaded songs that I put on my ipod. Well, my old computer got replaced years ago without saving hard drive info or passwords and my iPod burnt out years ago and will not activate. I now have a new computer and iPod and I have an iTunes account on my iPhone5. How can I get access to my old songs on new computer? Are they lost for good? I have no info about my old computer and old account.

  • TS1362 I purchased an album from itunes and a song in the middle of the album did not download completely. So, the song obviously cannot be transferred to my ipod because the file cannot be converted. What can i do?

    I purchased an album from itunes, and a song in the middle did not download completely. All the others did. So, I obviously could not transfer that song to my ipod because the file could not be converted. What can I do?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

    OH my god SOMEONE PLEASEE help me. I closed itunes so maybe it could work again now it looks like its never downloaded it dissapeared from my library. I went to the album it looks purchased but it doesnt have a download button. So what you basicly did is you made up a problem. You failed to help me. You stole 0,90 and still dont care to answer me back. Not community nor if there is any workers here, themselves. I wanted to support one of my favorite singers and this is what I get in return.

  • HT1473 downloaded an album from itunes and every song is out of sink with its title, HELP

    downloaded album from itunes and the songs dont match the title,help!!

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
    The above should sort you out but the forum you wanted was iTunes > iTunes for Mac which won't have been on offer since your were reading a Windows support doc. I'll ask the hosts to move this one just in case you have follow up questions that can be answered best in there.

  • I just typed in "top 40 hits in the search column in itunes, and the songs sound completely different! It doesn't even sound like the artist is singing the songs! What's up with that??

    I just searched for "top 40 hits on itunes and the songs that came up don't sound remotely like the ones i hear on the radio(not remixes) just the regular song, so what's up with that?

    They aren't the ones you hear on the radio.
    They are the same songs remade by some unknown label to make money.

    Delete the songs from your iTunes library and redownload them by clicking "Purchased", under Quick Links at the top right of the iTunes store.
    If this doesn't work contact iTunes support here:

  • Bought an album off iTunes and two songs from the album will not download. Is there anyway to make them force load or anything along those lines?

    Bought an album off iTunes and two songs from the album will not download. Is there anyway to make them force load or anything along those lines? The Album is Sunshower-EP by UME and the songs are The Conductor and The Means.

    Hey ChandlerAdaway!
    I have an article here that can provide you some guidance for this issue. First, you will want to check for the songs in your past purchases list for your account, if you haven't already:
    Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If the songs cannot be found there, you will want to report an issue with your download by following the directions in this article:
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

  • Huge problem with songs not found in iTunes and duplicates

    I have been having serious issues with itunes -- it recently started losing files. I get the message, "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have tried manually linking them, but I have thousands of files and it would take forever.
    I ended up reinstalling itunes and re-adding all music, but I lost my playlists. I then found an old itunes music file and put it in the itunes folder and voila! -- all of my playlists returned.
    Now the problem is that I have many missing files and almost every remaining song has been duplicated at least once. (I think I screwed up by first importing songs and then having to add them to the library as well).
    Is there a way to group together all the files (to find them later) and then delete them? There are thousands of them. Also, is there a way to stop this random deleting of files. It seems this is a widespread problem. Thanks.

    Arghhhhhhhhh
    Count me in -
    At the moment I've lost access to roughly 800 of the 1200 .mp3s that are sitting in my iTunes music folder ("iTunes cannot find the file. Would you like to try and locate it?").
    This appears to have occurred after downloading the 7.1.1 update today. One additional symptom that I'm getting that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere is that the .mp3s themselves seem to be corrupted - when I open them directly with iTunes they are playing a strange combination of the same two songs, and I can't open them at all in any other application (Quicktime, Bias Peak etc...) which is really wrong.
    I've done everything that I've seen suggested here and then some, including repairing my disk and permissions from a Tiger install disk several times, reinstalling iTunes, rebuilding the iTunes Library and running a bunch of third party maintenance and repair routines, all to no avail,
    Just wanted to keep this thread near the top.

  • Upgraded iTunes and  all songs in music folder are duplicated

    Recently upgraded to iTunes 10.1.1.4 and all songs are now duplicated. Any idea why this happened and is there an easy way to get rid of the duplicates? When I opened iTunes after the upgrade, it acted as though it was a new installation-asking questions about finding song files.

    Something went wrong with the upgrade. itunes should not have asked about finding files on an upgrade.
    For duplicates in the itunes program, sort by Date Added. Figure out which group is valid - either the oldest or newest, and delete whichever group that isn't needed. You can highlight the first and then hold the shift key to highlight the last, so you can delete the group all at once.
    For duplicate on your hard drive, use Windows Explorer and Date Created/Modified the same way.

  • If i buy an album off of iTunes, and more songs are later added to the album, will I get the songs free?

    Im new to iTunes and I thought I saw some ALbums with a couple of songs. If i buy an incomplete album, and songs are later added to it will i get the songs free/

    This happened to me last week- my solution- I went back to the store and 'repurchased' the songs- iTunes alerted me that I had already purchased the songs and asked if I wanted to redownload the song at no charge. I said yes and once the new download was complete- I deleted the songs that only played halfway so I wouldn't have a duplicate that didn't work.

  • How do I move iTunes and all songs to new computer without loosing ratings?

    I recently purchased a new computer and have been trying to migrate everything to it. I downloaded Itunes to my new computer and moved all music on to the new computer. While I have successfully set up iTunes on the new computer (including setting the proper iTunes Music folder location under Edit/Preferences/Advanced/General), I cannot find a way to import ALL (Over 60 gig) of music into iTunes. The best I have been able to figure out is to add each individual folder from an artist to the library (this would be a HUGE amount of time!) and in so doing I would loose ALL the time I have spent rating songs (very important to me for My Top Rated). Is there a way to import all music on a specific drive into iTunes AND keep the preferences from the prior computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
