iTunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
Click File
Scroll down to "show duplicates"
A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
For playlists, you will need to hit the name tab so that your doubles line up, from there you will have to manually delete them, it helps to hold the Control button to select multiple songs as a time ( they will be highlighted) then when your done selecting the songs you wish to delete, right click your mouse and select the delete option from the window tab.
Best of luck, please rate my response for help!

I synched my iphone4 on my wife's imac to down load pics but got 700 unwanted contacts. How can I get rid of them without doing one at a time?

I synched my iphone4 with my wife's imac with the hope of uploading pictures from my phone. Instead I now have 700 plus contacts on my phone I do not want. How can I get rid of them except one ata time?

iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
If this is not the computer you sync your iPhone with, you should have been provided a warning message that your iPhone is associated with an iTunes library on another computer and when trying to transfer any iTunes content from a different computer, a warning message is provided indicating that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.
When connecting an iPhone to iTunes on another computer, none of the options under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes are selected automatically. This means you had to select Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your wife's computer.
Assuming you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, connect your iPhone to Tunes on your computer and without syncing, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone followed by a sync.
For importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll which can be done with a computer that is not used for syncing the iPhone since syncing with iTunes is not involved.

Icloud sync created duplicate contacts...can't get rid of them

Ever since I began syncing my iPhone via iCloud, multiple entries have popped up in my Contacts. In some cases I'll have 4 or 5 duplicate Contacts when I started with just one. I tried deleting them manually (which took forever) but they just come back.
I tried shutting off iCloud sync and doing it the old way, but I realized that many contacts were missing. (i.e. I must have deleted them from locations other than iCloud, and that's the only place where they reside now.)
I feel stuck. This is very frustrating. iCloud was supposed to make my life easier and it's screwing things up. Any suggestions?
PS - I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.4 and an iPhone 5.

My Contacts Backup Pro has a 4+ rating, but it's up to you if you want to try it or not. If you haven't done so already, you might want to take a look at Apple's KB article on duplicate iCloud contacts: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4147. It's not a very common problem, and can be caused by things like attempting to sync contacts with both iCloud and iTunes.
If you have cleaned up your contacts only to see duplicates reappear on their own, you might need to get iCloud support to help you with this one as it's a rare problem. Then may need to have a senior engineer take a look at your account to determine what's causing it.

I have music on my iCloud that is not mine. How can I get rid of it?

I recently synced my ipad mini with my laptop and now there is music on my ipad which is not mine. How can I get rid of it and more importantly, how did it get there? Thanks

Tap Settings > iTunes & App Store
Tap the Apple ID then tap Sign Out then sign in with your Apple ID.
Perhaps you have more than one user account on your laptop and iTunes content was synced using another Apple ID from that account.

Permanent vertical blue line the screen and a red one has just popped up too. What does it mean and how can I get rid of them?

I have had a permanent vertical blue line on the right side of my imac screen for some time now. It does not affect the use of the computer. A red one has popped up on the right side of the screen and is not going away either.
Would you know why these are appearing and perhaps how to get rid of them please?
Thank you in advance

Best guess is that either your GPU or LCD is failing. You should take it to the nearest Apple Store or AASP for proper diagnostic. Once you know what the problem is you can decide wether or not it's worth repairing.

My Mac Menu Bar has 2 Abode Icons. How can I get rid of one?

Hi there. My status bar has a "Creative Cloud Icon" (with the number 6 next to it) and a second "Adobe Icon" (with a 5 next to it). See attached.
When I click the Adobe icon, it just opens Creative Cloud updater anyway.
I don't mind having the creative cloud icon, but the other is redundant, takes up space, and displays different information. How do I get rid of the second one?
Thanks, Jon

Hi There,
Kindly try the below mentioned steps.
1. Open Activity monitor.
2. Search for process similar to AAM notifier:
3. if you are able to find it, kindly quit that process.
Thanks,

My Mac book pro has been infected by findgala; how can i get rid of it?

Cannot get rid of this bloody virius....would appreciate it if someone could show me how to burn this out of my system? I'm not the most up to date person in regard to how my Mac works, so any advice will need to be dumbed down a little.
Thanks

Backup your data off the machine to a external storage drive, do not use TimeMachine or bootable clones, disconnect.
Unistall Chrome and/or Firefox.
Head to System Preferences and create a new Admin account, log into it and delete the first one, reboot then recreate it.
Log into the originally named account, use ClamXav to run a scan on the external drive and transfer just files back into Pictures, Music, Documents etc folders, nothing into Library!, don't erase the external drive.
See if your problems continue, and if they do then your looking at infection in your Admin privledged folders, thus a command r or commnad option r held at boot to erase the entire Macintish HD partition and a resinstall of OS X from Apple's servers, need your AppleID and password.

If I'm downloading songs from iTunes with my iPhone, than I can't delete them on the iPhone. How can I get rid of them on the iPhone after I synchronised them with my library?

Since I have the iPhone4S I can't delete songs from the iPhone anymore, which I downloaded with the iPhone. I sync the iPhone with my library. That works perfect. But than I want to delete the songs on the phone. That doesn't work. Can somebody tell me how I can delete those songs?

You have to uncheck what songs you don't want in iTunes. I don't think you could delete songs off the phone direct, unless you had I tunes match.

Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon? How can i get rid of them?

Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon? I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it. On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
Help

Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos" this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app. The same can be done with the music.
As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
"Sync only checked songs and videos". Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
good luck

IPhoto Events has restored every photo I have ever deleted. How can I get rid of them?

I have been away from my Mac for 3 weeks and I log into iPhoto today to find that every Event has restored all my previously deleted photos - this means tens of thousands of photos in total and would take weeks to go though and delete again. Is there some way of deleting them? Thanks!

Restore from your back up.

Hey ellenk0624,
There are a lot of benefits to running the latest version of Firefox. You should consider [http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback leaving feedback] for the developers so that they can continue to improve the product. There is some information on some known issues with the latest build [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues here]. There is some information in there on crashes.
If you still want to roll back to a previous version of Firefox, just take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]].
Hopefully this helps!

In "View Options", "iCloud Download" will not stay declicked. How can I get rid of it?

In iTunes 11.0.1 (12):
1. under "View Optiuons", "iCloud will not stay declicked. How can I get rid of it?
2. when I go to "albumns" can i get a list of what I have put in that field on each playlist, instead of a sea of empty graphics?

You can download your movies and tv shows to your iTunes library (depending on your location) as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.
What you are seeing is "iTunes in the Cloud", which is a separate service that allows you to download previously purchased media from the iTunes and App store. This does not require setting up an iCloud account so it's likely you don't have one. (If you don't want to see this previously purchased media available for download in your iTunes library, you can open iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Store and uncheck "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases".)

Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

You will need to find a third party solution for online storage in order to share things like photos with others. Some popular solutions to this are dropbox and sugarsync.
You cannot sync non-iCloud email accounts across your iOS devices and computers unless they are IMAP accounts like iCloud. If they are IMAP accounts, you will do it in the same way as you have always done.

Hi lundjj,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may find the troubleshooting steps in this article helpful if your iPod nano does not appear in iTunes:
iPod not appearing in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3716
This information can also help if you are using multiple devices with a computer:
iPod for Windows: Connecting multiple iPod devices to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3622
Although FireWire and USB connections will allow multiple iPod devices to be connected to the computer at the same time, iTunes for Windows works best with only one iPod connected at a time. If you plan to connect multiple iPod devices to the same computer, eject any iPod devices that you are not using from iTunes.
All the best,
Jeremy
