My 'songs' list in my library has all songs listed twice.  How do I remove all duplicates without removing the same songs in my albums and playlists?

Hello, juliego
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
Here is a helpful guide on how to identify and delete duplicate media from your iTunes library.

  • Migration Failed, Manual Copied Library, Now all 'Date Added' is the same

    Any clue on how to copy over my old library off my old laptop so that it preserves the "Date Added" file attributes? I remember my songs in time and when I added them, without that, I am lost when trying to find tracks.

    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.
    In principle you can hold down shift, use File > Display Exact Duplicates, sort on Date Added and delete everything added on the date in question. What happens next depends of whether there are multiple copies of each file (in which case send the deleted files to the recycle bin) or the duplicates refer to the same set of original files (in which case don't recycle the files). If you're not sure explore the circumstances carefully or use my script, but heed the warning about the potential for multiple paths. (I'm working on a new more robust version but it may take some time.)

  • I have been told that my I-tunes has probably been corrupted.  How do I remove the corrupted program and restore an i-tunes that is not corrupted.  Also, how do I get the new uncorrepted i-tunes to up date the i-pad and i-phone?

    I have been told that my i-tunes is probably corrupted.  How do I uninstall the corrupted i-tunes and install an i-tunes that is not corrupted?  Will this automatically be sync.ed to my i-phone4s and i-pad once corrected on my emachine computer?

    Just download a fresh installer and see if that works. If it is in the Add/Remove or Programs and Features, then uninstall and reinstall. If it cant, or isnt listed, then just reinstall.

  • All AI channels have the same value - NI PCI-6221 and NI PCI-6229

    Hello,
    I use the example aiex1.cpp for a multichannel AI read with the mseries devices 6221 and 6229.
    This example works for one channel, but the other channels have the same value (+- 0.001 Volt difference).
    For example: I set 5Volt on the first channel and then the other channel have 5Volt too.
    What should I consider in the configuration?
    Please, can someone help me?
    Best regards,
    Heiko
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Heiko,
    Like Moritz, I'm curious what signals you have connected to your AI channels. What voltage do you expect to read on each channel?
    Tom gave me your initialization code and it looks like you've modified aiex1.cpp. Does the example work without any changes?
    I have some more questions that will help me determine where the problem could be coming from, but these two are the easiest. We'll keep getting more and more specific as we remove possible causes.

  • HT1451 Hi All, I have 2 users on my desktop, 1 i-tunes account and log-in but both users have different music contents i.e. one has the full iTunes library and the other only has some songs. How do i get both users to have the same music content?

    I Have 2 users on my computer and both access i-tunes using same password etc. however 1 library has the full content of music but the other one has only partial playlists. How do I get both users to have the same full library?

    The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the  "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

  • My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

    My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested.  How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
    As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

    Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
    I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
    What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
    Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
    Peace,

  • HT1338 My mail will not delete. When I move it to trash and then delete it within a few minutes it has all bounced back in again.  Checked my preference settings and all seems to be in order. Any ideas how to resolve this frustrating problem?

    That sounds like a compatibility issue with an add-on that you have installed, as reported by a number of users in both Firefox 22 and Firefox 23 over the last couple of months. If you would provide a listing of your installed extensions ''(as you were prompted to do when creating this thread)'' maybe one of us can advise you which extension is the mot likely culprit. You will need to re-install Firefox 23 to do further diagnostic testing.
    As far as the compatibility of Firefox 23 and Win XP SP3, Mozilla has verified they are compatible and not one user ''(including me on two separate PC's)'' has reported a problem with compatibility.

  • I have extra tracks of the same song,plus extra albums showing of the same album in their relevant lists how can i remove the extra ones safely?.

Please note i am a newcomer to using a ipod nano/uploading,downloading music.

    Hi Myketyke,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Since you are syncing your iPod nano to your computer, the best option is to remove the duplicates from the iTunes library on your computer.  Then resync your device.  The article below will show you how:

    http://www.araxis.com/find-duplicate-files (commercial, free trial) - finds duplicate files on computer, not specifically iTunes
    I would do it manually.  As you can see from turingtest2's post, some duplicates are not really duplicates.
    I would also review how you add media to iTunes.  It should not be producing all that many duplicates.

  • I had 21 songs i my album and after syncronising i only had 15 songs left! All of them from Itunes! How can i get them back without paying for them again???

    Hello!!!
    This realy works??

    Where is the backup of the media and other important files from the computer?  Ultimately, it is the users responsibility to ensure that backups exists. Waiting until there is a problem to decide to do a backup is not smart.  Would you wait until a fire started in your home to call the insurance company and inquire about homeowners/renters insurance????
    In the event that no backup exists (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files):
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
    If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content.  They are not required to provide this opportunity.
    It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes.  On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
    The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.  Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.

  • We have multiple devices in our family.  On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes.  When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

    CREATE A NEW USER
    Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
    Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
    Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
    Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

  • Hello hi, i just won't to ask, if there has been any changes on how to find a stolen phone, did some one come up with a fare and good solution. as it is not fare at all when some one could use it for free and there is a lot of things could be done to this

    hello hi, i just won't to ask, if there has been any changes on how to find a stolen phone, did some one come up with a fare and good solution, new Apps. as it is not fare at all when some one could use it for free and there is a lot of things could be done to this condition, no one seem to care,
    i have a story about my sister, am talking on her behalf, she got stolen her phone at a caffee when she just come from a horeble exam, she was very mad and having haedace for not doing well at the exam, i ask her if we could have coffee before we go home, once she sate; while i was getting the coffee for her, some one snicked to her pocket and took the phone, immidatly she feelt it and went on to searching, but nathing was hopefull. what makes it more heart braking is that she worked day and night just to buy the phone and pay for her books and so on as a student. she use to work 16 houres a day before she had to start school. 8 houres in one place and then to the other place. and she was always demanding for more houres to work; one day her boss saw her on her other job and she was serprised to see her and saied OHhh my God Milly if you work like this, i wonder if you servive, how could you also ask for more houres, My sis had to do it she has no parents or any thing, well the phone was taken after only two months of having it. the sad thing is she stile dream having it even though she can't think of buying againe. well me i have tryed a lot of things but i know some were out there there is a solution for people like this, it is not always fare for some one who has payed up to 800 to just loose his ......  
    Thnks

    I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
    I hope she gets her phone back.
    Best of luck.
