My itunes library has duplicated "ALL" my files with their individual iclouds. How do I delete them all in one single swipe rather than delete each one individually?

Try Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. With luck it should be OK if you turn it on again.

  • My itunes library has duplicated all of my music and would take me hours to delete one by one. What is a quick easy way to delete over 2,500 duplicates?

    My itunes library has duplicated all of my music and would take me hours to delete one by one. What is a quick easy way to delete over 2,500 duplicates?

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group of identical tracks to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. This can happen, for example, if you start iTunes with a disconnected external drive, then connect it, reimport from your media folder, then restart iTunes.
    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. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping, whether you do so by hand or using my script, in case something goes wrong.

  • ITunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs? format

    iTunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs?

    I didn't mess with the iTunes Media folder previously, so I don't think that was the cause. Anyway, I manually fixed most of the songs, but I still can't figure out how to fix the movies that became listed as songs.
    Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when I click on "Get Info" for one of the movies (which has ended up in the music section on iTunes):
    There is no option to change the media kind to "movie" or "video" even though it is a movie and it still plays as a movie if I press play.

  • HT4914 I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

    I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud via Match, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

    I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!!  (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
    Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
    Solution for the problem:
    1 - go to your IPhone settings
    2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
    3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
    4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
    Should solve your problem :~)

  • I have updated iTunes on my computer and my iPod nano 4 is up to date but not all music shows up in my iTunes library..only the purchased songs..what happened and how do I get them back into the library?

    The music library in the updated version of iTunes is grossly incomplete although the music still remains on my iPod. Why did this happen and how do I get the music back into the library?

    Hi Dalegu219,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iTunes library is on an external hard drive, but iTunes is not recognizing the library, first make sure the right library is selected.
    You can use these steps to make sure iTunes is opening the library on your external drive:
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you're using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    If you're using a Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
    You should see one of these screens:
    Pick Choose Library and locate the library on your external hard drive.
    From:
    iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one - Apple Support
    If the right library is selected, but you do not see your songs, try re-creating the library using the instructions found here:
    iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • I'm not really a computer guy.Just got a Kodak easy share camera. When I  import the photos, they go to the area with my name in a file with the date. How can I move them to iphoto, or even better, import them directly to iphoto??

    I'm not really a computer guy. I just got a Kodak"easy share" camera. When I import the photos they go to the section with my name in a folder. How do I get them from there to iphoto, or better yet, how can i import them directly to iphoto?? As stated, I'm not knowledgable,have an imac and need real rudimentary direction.

    in the iPhoto preferences be sure the action when camera is connected is open iPhoto
    What program are you using to import the photos?
    If they are in a folder you can drag that folder onto the iPhoto icon in the dock to import - our launch iPhoto and under the file menu import from that folder
    For real rudimentary directions try the iPhoto tutorials - and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration. for the concepts - actual commands mya have shanged in some cases - and under the iPhoto help menu ==> iPhoto help - watch the videos there

    How do I reckeck my tunes in my library all at once?

    Command-click on any checkbox.

  • I just set up my windows 7 pc with icloud.  I have 2 calendars on icloud with different appointments.  How do I get them all on one claendar shared with ipad

    I just set up my windows 7 pc with icloud and connected it to my ipad and iphone.  I noticed that I have 2 icloud calendars on my pc.  Neither one of them has all my events on it, so I have to look at both to see what is going on.
    How do I get everything on one calendar?????

    Hello
    I think i find the problem, the Microsoft Proxy. If you use a Microsoft Proxy then it's not going with the iCloud Drive Client under Windows. I turn off the proxy in the IE and then it's going with the iCloud Drive Client.
    The problem is, the iCloud Drive Client take the IE proxy (if it set in the IE), in other sync client like Dropbox oder OneDrive you can select the proxies (no proxy, default proxy, manually proxy) and this is in the current version of the iCloud Drive client not possible.
    I hope Apple make this possible in a future release of the Windows client also with the option to change the location to store the data (i think under C://user/profiles is not so good for user with a SSD-harddrive).

  • I had icons for all bookmarks in my other browser, so how do I get them all to appear in the Mozilla bookmark toolbar alongside the name?

    I like the icons alongside the bookmark name. It appears that when the bookmark connects, some of the icons get automatically imported - e.g. Google, while others do not, e.g. Southwest Airlines. All of my bookmarks had icons in IE, so I assumed Mozilla would pick them up also. Is this a problem with the bookmarked website exporting the icon to Mozilla, or Mozilla polling the website to obtain the icon to display on the toolbar?

    No change in my bookmark toolbar icons, using the add-on above. Again, most of my bookmarks in Firefox have the icon, but others, e.g. Southwest Airlines, Comerica Bank (i.e. large companies that I'd expect Firefox to grab the icons). Clearly IE does something different than firefox to import the icon, otherwise they'd be the same across theboard.

  • I have 3 iPads ( iPad 2 ) all come up with the same username, how can I seperate them ?

    I have 3 iPads in the family, all are coming up with the same user name and password, how can I seperate them

    You are using the same Apple ID on all of them. If you want to share purchases, there is nothing that you can do about that. You have to use the same username and password in order to share purchased content.
    Your option is to create a new Apple ID for two of the devices and lose the purchased content on those two devices.

  • My iTunes library has now been registered against 5 iPods

    So what happens when I replace my current iPod (which is a classic, but suffering from very low battery life)? It would be the 6th user, and from I understand all of the songs that I have purchased would not be transferrable. Is this correct? If so, does anyone know of a way around this? Given that Apple bring out new products every year, and people have a tendency to upgrade, surely this issue has already arisen somewhere already? No? Help?
    Thanks

    Yes Ron, you're right, maybe I'd better re-phrase my question!
    I have already registered five COMPUTERS against my iTunes library. What should I do with this current laptop breaks (which it will, inevitably, in about another two years) and I need to replace it with a 6th computer. Do I lose all my purchased songs? How can I save them so that they can be used on the next machine?

  • My entire iTunes library has been duplicated.  How can I delete all duplicates at once rather than each one individually?

    My entire iTunes library has been duplicated.  Is there any command that will let me delete all duplicates at once, rather than each individual song?

    In particular:
    Once you have used the Show Exact Duplicates feature* you can set about deleting all but one copy of each duplicate file. If all the duplicates have recently been added into your library then you could sort the list on the date added column, select a range of tracks with SHIFT-click and delete all the recent entries.
    * On a Mac hold down Option, then click File > Show Exact Duplicates.
    You could also check out Doug's Scripts for useful tools.

  • ITunes library has lost the past year's worth of content, but the files are still in the directory

    Help! How do I restore the past 11.5 months' worth of content to my iTunes library?
    Well this is weird. Suddenly my iTunes library has lost everything added since late January 2014 - almost a year's worth of content. Podcasts, audiobooks, iTunes purchases, MP3s bought elsewhere and imported, movies, TV shows - all gone. Apps added in the past year also seem to be gone, although apps acquired before then have the most current update. As far as I can tell, all of that content is in the file directory structure - it's just not in the iTunes library system.
    Curiously, the "last played" data all seems current, except that many of the more recently played songs have gone missing; tracks that were modified in the past year, but were added in 2013 or before, are still listed as being modified in 2014. Anything changed in the past year remains changed; but anything added in the past year simply isn't there.
    I have no idea what caused this. Earlier today iTunes crashed for random reasons, but that happens every week or two anyway; and for that matter this issue could have developed a couple of days ago, and I just didn't notice it. (I'm sure it can't be older than that - I would have noticed.)
    I've got good Time Machine backups, but I'm not sure how to go about restoring this - I suspect that this help page tells me the steps I need to take, but I'd like to have some confirmation before going through those steps. (And that procedure doesn't involve Time Machine anyway, right?)
    Theoretically I suppose I could also go through my directory and add the files to iTunes, one by one, but it would be extraordinarily complicated to figure out what needed to be added. I'd also like to get back all the metadata - played, unplayed, play count, last played, and so on.
    Restoring the files from Time Machine doesn't seem to make sense to me, because the files aren't actually missing. Would restoring an iTunes Library.itl file help at all?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hm ... I guess I can't edit the post above. Anyway, I seem to have solved it by ...
    Quitting iTunes.
    Going into Home / Music / iTunes, and renaming the file "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library (corrupt).itl".
    Entering Time Machine, and restoring the "iTunes Library.itl" file from a few days ago. I went back two days, which seemed far enough back to be "before" the problem but not far enough back to have trouble with recent acquisitions.
    Re-opening iTunes - and everything seemed to be back in order.
    So that's fine for now. We'll see if the solution is stable.
    Very, very tentative assignment of blame: I believe iTunes crashed earlier today after I'd synced photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, and then iTunes crashed while iPhoto was closing (and taking its sweet time doing so). If that was indeed the case, that's at least the second time in the past couple of months that trying to sync iPhone photos to iPhoto has caused me significant problems. (The last time led to 80% of my iPhone suddenly being occupied by "Other", and a full restore of the darn thing.)
