Showing duplicates?

Is there a simple (or not simple) way to find all the duplicates in one's iPhoto library? In iTunes there is a "Show Duplicates" feature that is great for cleaning up one's library -- but I can't find the similar command in iPhoto.

No - that is not a feature of iPhoto
Duplicate Annihilator - http://www.brattoo.com/propaganda/ - is a good tool for that

How do I show my iCloud purchases in iTunes, but prevent it from showing duplicates of the songs I already have on my computer? There are duplicates of essentially everything! :(

I would like to show my available songs that I could download if I want, however the ones I've already downloaded to my computer are showing up still, which results in duplicates of everything (one on my computer, one in the cloud)

No.
Are the photos in an iTunes backup? If so then:
- You can restore another iPod touch, iPhne or iPad from that backup
- Extract the photos from that backup by

HT1349 Why won't "show duplicates" show up in either my File or Edit menus? And, why does my entire library keep getting duplicated?

I have a new computer and I'm trying to reload my library and my playlists. I also have a new iPhone 5 and I'm trying to load that too. I'm getting duplicates of everything in my library. When I try to find the "show duplicates" tab in my File menu and/or my Edit menu it isn't there. Any ideas? Thanks!

Yes, it has always worked in the past. The past projects audio clips do not change names. I obviously did something different in this current project, but unfortunately I have no idea what.

Where is the "Show Duplicates" functions in iTunes 11?

I recently upgraded to the new version of iTunes and can't find the "show duplicate" options. This is one of the main reasons I don't upgrade to the new iTunes, because of this kind of stuff - missing functionality that I use on a regular basis... Any help (outside of downloading your personal script) would be appreciated. Thanks!

Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.

Where is the Show Duplicate option in the new iTunes 8,0?

The thing I loved about the iTunes before the new one was that it had a function to show the duplicates so I could keep only one song instead of 4 versions of the same song from different cd's.
So my question is, where did the the "Show Duplicate" function go?

Hi,
Try: File>Show Duplicates.

IPod is showing duplicates of songs, but songs are not duplicated in iTunes.

iPod touch is showing duplicates of songs, but songs are not duplicated in iTunes... any ideas how to fix? Tried resyncing, didn't work.

I'm fishing slightly but you may have casing inconsistenices in artist or album names that cause the iOS firmware to see more than one instance of the album but with each getting all the tracks. Merging stuff in iTunes via sort fields may also have unintended consequenses on the device. Could you post back a screenshot or decribe the symptoms more fully, ie. exactly which menu screen you are in on the iPod, what is repeated etc. The songs menu for example can correctly list more than one copy of a song if it appears on different albums.

Show duplicates in ITunes 11?

I have updated my Itunes to the latest version 11 and cannot find the "show duplicates" function anymore. Has it been moved or removed?
System:
Windows 7 64bit
ITunes 11

What were the iTunes Developers thinking??? This function is highly necessary for general maintenance of a growing music library.
I agree, this is one thing that is definitely fubar'd about this version. I suspect it will be brought back in an update sooner rather than later since it is pretty much a necessity. At least for libraries stored locally. For libraries stored in iCloud, maybe not so much.
I don't know about you, but I will never use that service or any service like. I will not be streaming my media to use it, ever. My connection isn't that fast and with badnwidth caps from ISP's, it makes no sense at all.

If you are on Version 11.0.1 rather than 11 Apple put it back in
View > Show Duplicates
Option + View > Show Exact Duplicates
so if you are on 11 upgrade to 11.0.1 and you will have it

Show duplicates is now under VIEW in iTunes 11. Just use the drop down menu to select between music, movies, etc. Then go to view>show duplicates. Then you can just select all and delete.
But that is precisely what you should not do. iTunes doesn't distinguish between "originals" and "duplicates", you have to decide which is which. If you delete them all you have nothing left.
If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the trash unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the drive as opposed to multiple entries to the same file.

Ipod touch shows duplicate albums?

Hi,
I have a second generation ipod touch 32gb, and recently upgraded to software 3.0...
I also have the latest version of itunes on a macbook pro running leopard.
Now, I have sorted all of my songs to how I want them. I pressed "Show duplicates", and there's nothing... I checked all of the files in the itunes music folder, no duplicates or anything, and checked it out on itunes as well. Everything looks perfect...
All of the songs will sync onto my iPod fine..when I search using the songs mode, it states I have exactly the amount of songs on my itunes...but when i search using cover flow or album mode, there are a few albums that, for one reason or another, have been duplicated. I looked at them, and they display the exact same songs. It's really weird, I have attempted to restore iPod several times and even reload my songs. Nothing helps.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I had a similar issue where 2 of my albums would show up twice in cover flow. I took a closer look at these 2 albums to see if they had anything in common. In both cases I had added tracks to the albums in the past manually.
Try this,
1. Go to one of the albums that is being duplicated in cover flow.
2. Right click on the first track and click "Get info" and then the "sorting" tab.
3. At the bottom of the "sorting" tab hit "next" or "previous". Go thru the album and keep an eye on how each track is sorted. In my case the "sort album" field had text in them when other tracks on the album did not. It's best to keep the sort criteria simple. When I deleted the text I sync'd and only had one copy of the album.
Hope this helps.

HT2905 i am trying to delete duplcates" from my i-tunes....sounds easy...except I dont have a "show duplicates" in my drop down "view menu" !! help please

Anyone help?? I am trying to remove duplicates from my Itunes library....looks easy, except I dont have a "show duplicates" tab in the drop down "view " menu !!
So, what can I do? thanks

Dear iTunes,
YOU SUCK.
Seriously.
I have used Apple products for quite some time. I have no idea why they keep changing everything that has finally become second nature! It is now MUCH more difficult - create a playlist, show duplicates, etc. Its an absolute mess and I have yet to find anyone who does not have multiple complaints.
I have this same problem. All information I look up says use "Show duplicates", which I have done many times for years before. But now when my iPad is plugged in, that option is grayed out for me (unable to be clicked on). I went to the Apple store today and the employee couldn't even answer my questions. I am planning to go back sometime with my computer as well and beg for a solid explanation.
Wouldn't it be nice if these tracks just didn't duplicate? That seems like a proper solution that would suit me well. Until then I just plug in, arrange by song, and go through manually deleting the extras. Often. #wasteoftime #annoying #argh
Good luck.

IPad calendar showing duplicates half the time

My iPad iCal shows duplicates of about half my calendar entries. My calendars are Google calendar delegates, and I've never had any trouble with them syncing across my Macbook, Google account, or Android phone. I do not use Mobile Me, and I have calendar syncing turned off in iTunes, so they should be syncing wirelessly through the google delegate.
So why does my iPad show duplicates half the time when my Macbook/phone/google don't? Why are there duplicates only half the time? How can I fix this without manually deleting and re-entering every event that shows up in duplicate? (I can't just delete one of the duplicates - deleting one erases both. If I re-enter it on my Macbook, it shows up as just one event, but it's a lot of work to do all of that manually).

Settings > Date & Time > 24-hour time -Off.
Also you might want to check time zone settings, and go into International and check the Region Format. Then do a reset of the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. That will restart the phone. This should correct it.
