Show Duplicate Items is grayed out

I am trying to clear out duplicate songs from my playlist after some merging. I clearly have duplicates in my music library. But when I try to "Show Duplicate Items", it is grayed out and unresponsive. My iTunes version is 11.1.3.8 and I am on Windows 7. Is there any way I might be able to use this feature?

You can only use that feature when your are in your library (on the PC). Oddly, the feature does not allow for finding duplicates on the device itself (as in your screenshot).

HT201812 "show duplicate items" is grayed out

Trying to get rid of duplicates in my library, but the "show duplicate items" option is grayed out in my dropdown list What do I do?

Show Duplicate Items is not available for all media types, or for media that's on any device rather than in your library. Make sure you have Music selected (the icon with two musical notes, top left of the screen) so that you can see a listing of songs, albums, ... and the function should then be available for you.

I want to import my favorites from Internet Explorer, but under the File menu, the Import item is grayed out. How do I make it available?

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
* In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed

You also export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

My ipod 4th gen gets wiped clean of music anytime I sync. it then only redownloads some of the music in the library and wont upload missing songs. They show on the ipod grayed out. How do I get this to stop? re-uploading takes 4 hours.

my ipod 4th gen gets wiped clean of music anytime I sync. it then only redownloads some of the music in the library and wont upload missing songs. They show on the ipod grayed out. How do I get this to stop? re-uploading takes 4 hours and is never completed. I only get some of the 6000+ songs I have. This started when I updated to IOS5 i think.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Step into and other debugging items are grayed out in ISE debug menu in PS4.0

hi friends
i don't know why things go wrong for me
it's about 3 hours that i am googling & studying documents on how to use Debugger in PS 4.0 ISE
the problem is i open my script in ISE, but when i open debug menu, step over,
step into, step out, stop debugger and many other items on debug menu in ISE are
gray out.
( my script contains about 20 commands)
i need to run my script in line by line method (step into)
but its gray out :-(
i studies many pages regarding powershell debugger but none of the mentioned first enabling debugger ( i think maybe it's off by default)
am i on the right way ? is debugger feature by default off in PS 4.0 ISE? is this what debugging items are gray out?
i looked for a cmdet to enumerate the current state of ISE debugger (on or off) but unfortunately didn't find anything.
another confusion: is it necessary to run the entire script at least one time so that step into feature be available to use?
is yes, that's too bad. i want first examine my script line by line
any help please
thanks in advanced

Unless you have break points inserted and the script actually running, then those options will be greyed out. You need to first insert your break point, and then run the script. Once the code where the break point is going to be executed, the script
will stop there allowing you to step into or out of

Hi clayman
thanks for your answer. useful
after examining many different states finally i discovered the Hidden rule which i didn't find this on the net.
the rule is:
when we want to examine our entire script line by line ( step into our script), we must create a line breakpoint on the
first line of the script &
then press F5, now the items on the debug menu are available such as step into
i wrote this for people who encounter such problem but after lots of search on the internet, they find no document describing this

What if EXPORT ITEMS if grayed out in keychain access?

I attempted to export about 10 keychain items following the procedure in Keychain Access Help. After selecting the items
I found that Export Items was greyed out. I then selected the items one-at-a-time and found that Export Items was grayed
out for each item. What is the problem? I am the administrator of this computer. Help offers no further help about why
items cannot be exported.
(Also, why is text in this box offscreen when left justified?)

Good evening from Hamburg,
sadly, "some keychain items" seems to be the understatement of the year. I have not found any exportable items yet. And I have no idea why it should be impossible to export a simple Internet password, e.g., or a secure note.
In other words: "Some keychain items can not be exported." – I already read that in the help text. So please elaborate. Which ones cannot be exported (for example). What are possible reasons? Is there anything I can do about the "non-exportability" of an item? And which ones actually can be exported (for example)?
Regards,
I.T.W.

Help! FCS3-How do I reduce bitmap size if drop down edit item is grayed out?

I am in Flash CS3. I need to reduce a bunch (300) Bitmaps pixels dimensions from 1068 px to 270 px across (and proportional height) in library but the "edit with..." (external editor) drop down item is grayed out. I have tried everything, including looking for ways to export the Bitmaps to create new images and update library items. I am stumped! Thanks in advance—[email protected]

Hi,
One solution I can think of is to use your bean to set up more than just a Vector of values from the database. If you could instead create a vector of objects which contain a reference to the row as well as the data then you can use that to name the select control:
<select name=Choice_<%=vPQStatus.elementAt(i).getReference()%> >
<option value="S">Start
<option value="R">Restart
<option value="C">Complete
</select>
<%=vPQStatus.elementAt(i).getValue()%>
This would then require you to access all request parameters and search for those starting with "Choice_" you can then extract the reference from the name and the new selection from the value.
Hope this helps

ITunes won't let me select show duplicate items on my iPhone 4s.

I can see the option but it is in faded font color and I cannot select it. Pressing shift, or alt, or control does nothing to remedy the problem.
I'm using an iPhone 4S, under the most current iOS (7.1)
Thanks in advance for any help.

Confused? I don't think so...I am now, about whether or not I'm confused.
I wish to remove duplicate songs from the music selection on my iPhone. While in iTunes, I select the iPhone and go to "On This Phone". From there I go to "View>Show Duplicate Items". But the option is hollow-texted, as in:
Show Statusbar
Show Sidebar
Show Duplicate Items
Video Playback
Show Visualizer
When I click on Show Visualizer, nothing happens. I need help to remedy this situation. I posted the topic in the iPhone section, as I don't care about duplicate songs in my iTunes, just the phone itself.
Where am I going wrong here?

"only sync checked items" option grayed out

Note: This is the fifth frakin time I've tried to post this, but this forum site keeps crapping out on me. So, I apologize for any duplicates that might appear.
Hey folks,
I've successfully upgraded to iTunes v7, and while everything else appears to be working okay, I'm having trouble with the "only sync checked items" option. The option is grayed out and I can't enable it.
My poor Mini just doesn't have enough space to hold my entire library, so I rely heavily on this option to move back and forth all the podcasts I want to listen to on a daily basis. While I can do all this by manually dragging files over, I'd rather use the built-in option that specifically meets this need.
Here's a screenshot of my settings...

Thanks in advance for any help.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Windows XP Pro Plenty of RAM, HD and everything else

I've got the same problem. Two days and no reply yet? What's especially troubling is that syncing only checked items had been my preference under iTunes 6. ITunes 7 should have kept all the same preferences.

Menus items keep graying out in Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Word -- ***?

I recently installed Snow Leopard on both my laptop and iMac, and now nothing seems to be working right.
The biggest problem is that several applications seem to have their menus "grayed out" whenever I try to open or save a file, rendering the application useless.
For example:
* If I try to open a new file in Dreamweaver, all the menu options are gray.
* If I try to save a document in Word, all the menu options turn gray.
* I can't "save" or "save as" ANYTHING in Pages, although the menu items don't turn gray. Instead, nothing happens, and the file never saves.
NONE of this was happening on Tiger.
I bought a brand new version of Dreamweaver and did a clean install. Same thing with iWork.
WHAT is going on? This renders several of my key applications essentially useless if I can't save files or work with any of the menu items.

Also, to try to fix the problem, I created a new Account and have been using that.
This fixed the problem with some applications where I was having the "grayed-out menu" dilemma, like Photoshop, but didn't fix it in the other apps.

Show Grid...Grayed Out

Am using GoLive CS2 with XP
Have only used GoLive on a site that was created for me, and it had grid lines that I thought made life easier for me.
As a first timer trying to create my own site, have been unable to get get grid lines displayed on any page. They're always grayed out.
Yes, I've looked through help and this sites forums to no avail.
I know it must be something very basic that I'm missing, and would appreciate a bit of help in the right direction.
Thanks
Mark

I've got the Inspector displayed and understand its context changing roles.
You say to "select the grid," and that's where we're parting ways because I'm looking at a newly created blank html page and don't see a grid to select! Or any thing that says Grid...and I've looked all over.
I opened a website that was created for me with GoLive/MAC, and it has a grid and the Inspector displays/acts as you've noted with the grid selected. I do notice, however, that even with that page displayed, "Show Grid" on the upper View menu is still grayed out.
Might there be some default preference set somewhere that's getting in the way? Or I should be creating a different kind of page?
Thanks
Mark

Menu Bar Items Often Grayed Out

Often, selections in iTunes' drop down menus are grayed out, making them unusable. I've tried reinstalling iTunes but the issue persists.
Anyone know of a fix for this?

Well..I can't duplicate a situation where visualizer isn't available. And play seems to always available, though next, previous are not UNLESS a track is currently playing.
What are you selected on within the iTunes interface? And do you have your iPod connected? (Don't know that it would make a difference, but I currently do not have mine connected...so just for comparison purposes.)

Why does only the first page of seach results show, with further pages graying out?

In a search, I may get >1,000,000,000 hits, but only the first page is readable. "Next" gives me a grayed out screen and FF freezes. Any of the offered searches at the bottom of that first screen will do the same thing. Repeated hitting "back" will clear it.
This has been true, through all the upgrades, including a backgrade to 3.6 (?) for 64-bit. This makes FF useless as a search platform, though it is my preference, even over Chrome, if it would work.
Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit, 8GB Ram
High speed to house, wireless lan in house

That does seem rather useless.
Use Automator - it has a "PDF to Images" action that will do exactly what you need. Drop your document into the workflow, drop the "PDF to Images" action in right after that, set any options that you need (like where to save) and then click "run"
Barring that, I've found that sometimes Adobe Reader will sometimes work well for documents that Preview can't print, and I've found some documents that Adobe Reader chokes on but Preview handles flawlessly.

no. your sidebar preference file is likely corrupt. delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plists and log out/in. your sidebar will be reset to the defaults and should behave normally.
what should i do?
