Mass deletion of duplicates

I bought a new computer and copied Itunes Music from a backup hard drive and now I have duplicates of over 2000 songs.( I placed all folders in ITunes Media) How can I mass delete all duplicates or how can I reload all music without getting duplicates.

same question? It looks like you have to use an outside program...none look good

Duplicates, How do I do mass deletion of duplicates?

In the process of learning about Itunes, it appears I have made a number of duplicate copies of albums. In Itunes, it shows the album cover, then the same songs twice throughout my library. Anyone know how to get rid of duplicates in a mass way so I don't have to do it manually for every song?

My Contacts app has 100's of duplicate groups, is it possible to mass delete?

My Contacts app has 100's of duplicate groups, is it possible to mass delete?
These groups are a legacy of over a decade of mis-syncs (starting with Palm's crappy software, and then multiple simultaneous iTunes syncs). The app is so slow it's useless, and the database problem causes issues with my iOS devices too (a contact can take a over minute to save after editing).
I can delete the groups, but it takes about two minutes each (multiply that by hundreds )
I've found several "contacts cleaners" apps, but none remove duplicate groups.
I'm thinking that I might be able to export the entire database and edit it manually, but I don't know what steps to take.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
Chas

Hey Linc,
Just in case anybody has searched this thread for a similar problem: taking all contacts out of the Contacts app doesn't erase groups: all my thousands of erronous groups remain (and still take up to a minute to delete each one, grrr).
I've gone into the XML files that make up the contacts database and I painstakingly deleted every file that was one of the offending groups. I thought that that should have solved my problem but, when I replaced all the files in the relevant place in the System, all those thousands of groups were still there in the Contacts app. I'm stumped :-( It could be that the database was repopulated by what was up on iCloud, but in that case I'm not sure how to consolodate everything so that one source propagates to the others (it's all complicated by the fact that my phone hasn't been sharing contacts that were created on it with iCloud, so I can't just erase it). Ahh, gotta love multi-variate problems!
Thanks again for the help, I do appreciate it.

Upgraded to 7.0.2 - Duplicates made of my 47,000 songs - how to mass delete

I upgraded to 7.0.2 of Itunes - for some reason none of my songs were recognized on my external drive - could not play any songs - reconverted to AAC - now I have duplicates of 47,000+ songs - want to erase the versions that won't play - the one's with the little "!" and gray circle around it - is there a way to mass delete and put everything back in order - without going through each song to delete "unrecognizable" version? All my playlist now have the version that doesn't play (with the playable version in library). Plus, when I reconnect to slave drive, will I encounter this problem all over again. Should I turn this Dell into a paperweight and just by a MAC? This goes along with my other question.

I'm figuring it out a little bit - appears my music files transfered to the C: Drive - so now I have identical files on the C: Drive and the G: Drive. Want to manage all music on the G: Drive (External Hard Drive)...do I need to delete current library, delete C: Drive music files and start from scratch with existing raw, unconverted external hard drive? Or should I delete everything on the G: Drive and export everything in Itunes to there? Not sure if that'll solve my "duplicate 47,000 songs" issue.

Delete numerous duplicates in iTunes 11

I've looked through the other threads that are similar but am struggling to find an answer that will work for me.
I have just reimported all of my music files into itunes, i noticed that every file was duplicated in the finder but they were not showing up in itunes, instead of going through in finder and deleting every duplicate i thought it'd be easier to import everything into itunes and have it do it for me, now that i have done this i notice that display duplicates display's every single file, including original and duplicate so i can't just mass delete them with clicking each individual one.
Is there anywhere to have it only show one of the files and not both? The files are exactly the same and date added etc the same so cant sort this way.
Cheers
Rob

Use the Songs view. Hold down alt/option and use View > Show Exact Duplicate Items, sort the resulting list on Date Added, then delete the most recent additons, leaving the originals behind. Ideally you should take a complete backup of the current state of the library & media folder before you start just in case you select more files to delete than you should.
Oops, I've seen where you say the files have the same date added values... In that case you either need to manually select all but one of each repeating group to remove using CMD-clicks, or look to third party tools such as Dupin or Dupin Lite from Doug's Scripts.

Is there any way to mass delete duplicated files?

I just transferred all of my brother's music from his full laptop onto my desktop.
Unfortunately, since his girlfriend had her own library, and since none of us were careful to keep track of where the files were kept, I now have several hundred songs that have been duplicated twice or even three or four times on a single library.
Is there any way to mass delete all the duplicated songs, so I only have one of each track?

Have a look at Teridon's iTunes Scripts there's a script in there for dealing with duplicates: Teridon's iTunes for Windows Scripts

How do I mass delete email from Trash folder?

Is there an easy way to mass delete the emails from the trash folder?

In your settings>mail>account>advanced, there is a way you can set it to self delete after 1 day. This is the earliest setting to self delete the mails. If you need to delete all of them right away. Just open one of the mails and press the trash can icon at bottom. It automatically opens the next mail and you can just sit there thumbing the trash can until all are gone. Works for me, both ways.

HT4915 When i did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs. I have gone into my library and deleted the duplicates, but they still show up on my iphone as duplicates. What can i do to get rid of them?

When I did my itunes match, there were some duplicated albums and songs in my library. I have gone back into my library from my computer, and deleted the duplicates. When I did so, itunes did not ask me if I wanted to delete them from the cloud. They are still showing up on my iphone as duplicates in the cloud. What can I do to get them from showing up in my iphone?

They are not on the iphone in the first place. It is just a setting that allows you to see the songs that are available in icloud, but not on your iphone. If you turn the setting to off, then you no longer see the songs that are in icloud, but NOT on your iphone.

How to delete the duplicate email address in BP master data

If you are sending the email to customer, you are using html or simple text, if the customer wants only html or simple text, how you to specify in the system?
thanks,
arul

Hello Arul,
welcome to the SDN CRM Development forum.
1. I think you should clear the data with duplicate E-Mail adresses in the external tool.
2. Unsubscription could be done by a Marketing Attribute which could be set by using a Target Group which is created by Campaign Automation. Have a look at this Toppic. There is also a Best Practice avaliable at http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv340/CRM_DE/index.htm.
3. Also HTML or Simple text can be mained in a Marketing Attribute. You have to use different Mail Forms to which are sent to different Target groups.

Gregor

Dear,
I'm not sure just try this,
Go to SM30 table MASSFLDLST
add field LOEKZ
You defined in customizing table T161 field STAKO- LOEKZ
Then you can delete it through MEMASSSA T.Code
Else better you use tools like LSMW to close those unwanted schedule lines.

I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and it duplicated virtually every track in my music library. I need a quick way to delete the duplicates. Sorting by "Date Added" will not help because they are all listed as added on 12/12/2011.
