To many song duplicated sin my library.

I would like to know if any could tell me how to delete the duplicate songs in my library. They get tranfered over to my Ipod but not my Iphone. Any ideals?

Highlight the song and hit delete.

Why are so many songs duplicated in my library?

Just recently lost hard drive to failure. Replaced drive and reloaded ITunes. Now I have many many songs that are duplicated in my library.......almost all of them! Does this mean that I have duplicates in my ITunes music folder, or that I have more than one ITunes music folder?

Well there is a question that you can answer with a little digging around. Exactly what you've got now depends a bit on which steps you took along the way. Also your media folder would normally be <User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Media so the reference to iTunes Music suggests you may have a library that started life back with iTunes 8 or earlier.
Apple's official advice on duplicates 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 such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
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 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.
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, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and copes sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

How many songs in my itunes library

how can i find out how many songs are in my itunes library?

Ctrl / should display the status bar.
You can also turn on the menu bar with ctrl b or press alt to make it show on a temporary basis. View > Show Status Bar should make it display.

I have many of my songs duplicated in my library. How can i eliminate all the duplicate songs

I have most of my music library showing duplicate entries. How can I get this cleaned up automatically. I have over 4000 songs, and many are repeats

How can I see how many songs are in my library in the new Itunes 11.0.2.26?

The total songs in the library used to show on the bottom but now I can't figure it out! Any help is appreciated

Okay. Try the Ctrl-/ keyboard shortcut. Does that get you back your status bar down the bottom?

The file name of many songs are in my library but can't be heard or found, why?

My itunes library has been off-line for a year or more and when i updated everything my song file names are there and some songs are audible but the majority of them are not and my computer says it can't find the song in my computer, what do i do?

I am having the same problem. I spent three hours on the phone with Apple Reps last night. They first said that they would have to reinstate ? my permissions, which they did (I had also lost some music) but after an hour of downloads, I still had no tones. Spoke with another Rep and they said if I purchased the Tones on Istore they should show up. I had. They didn't. Then said that it could be the "older" music was no longer compatible and it MUST be purchased through Itunes Store to show up in Tones automatically. So...I bought almost $20 of Tones last night after I hung up, and NONE Of them show up in my Tones folder. I have tried everything. I cannot move them by drag and drop.
This has been an ongoing problem for me for over a year, and so far, I cannot get any help.
I was asked if it was possible if I had different Libraries. I told them I don't know, since I have used Itunes since 2009 (and like the old version much better) and I have never changed my Itunes login or password. I have however, had different computers. I hope someone can help with this issue.

Where is my total saying how many songs are in my library?

i have just downloaded the new itunes last night (3-31-13) and started to use it today (4-1-13) and i don't have the total at the bottom anymore and would like to see it because i like to see the total of my library... ....on a side note the library and just added and playlist ect.. on the left is no longer there witch is not so bad but i kinda liked it

Okay. Try the Ctrl-/ keyboard shortcut. Does that get you back your status bar down the bottom?

How do I see how many songs are in my library?

I've tried all the other suggestions on here, CTRL & / isn't working, and there is no "show status bar" in the View section. Is this no longer available with the new iTunes? Or is something wrong with my iTunes?

Turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.

How many songs in library

i forget which keys to press to display my library content. Can someone tell me which keys they are? i must know how many songs are in my library, now.

Hi Ralph,
iTunes menu: View > Show Status Bar
or cmd /

How can I find the total number of songs in my iTunes library?

I just downloaded the new itunes. In the previous itune library at the bottom of the screen it told me how many songs I have total. Not just purchased, but how many total songs were in my library. I liked knowing this because I could verify my ipod was synced up properly. Sometimes a song wouldn't download from my computer to my ipod, and by knowing how many songs were in the library, it was a double check.
This song count is gone now with this new itune version. There no bar at the bottom of my screen that shows me song count and I've gone through all the settings and can't figure out how to know this without manually counting the songs. Any help is appreciated.

Dear,
In the top menu, you can choose 'view', and subsequently 'show status bar'. This shows the information on the bottom of the window.
kindest regards,

On my itunes there are many songs that will not play due to being purchased under a different email address and password from the one I have now how can i get these songs to play?

I have many songs in my itunes library that were purchased by me that did not convert to my new email address when I moved. How can I get them to play?

You have to use the same old Apple ID and password.
NOTE: All content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

Figuring out how many songs i have in itunes? (and ext drive question)

I am looking to buy a new ipod but am not sure about the nano vs the regular video one... we already have 1 video one, so i thought one of each might be nice, but the 8 GB nano only holds 2000 songs for the same price as a 30GB ipod...so, I would like to figure out how many songs we currently have in itunes in order to see if we are at the 2000 song mark already, but am not sure how, short of counting them (ugh!)
Also, if I purchase an external drive for itunes (and some photos & documents), how to know what amount of memory i need?
Thanks!

There's a BIG difference between the iTunes application and the Music that you've loaded into your iTunes library.
Your music is normally stored in the Music folder which should be listed in iTunes>Preferences>Advanced.
By the way... you should be able to see how many songs are in your Library, as well as how much space they take and how long it would take to play them all at the bottom of the iTunes window.

Why do songs keep duplicating in my Library. One song has duplicated five times. If I delete the unwanted duplicates will it delete the song entirely from my library? How do I get the four unwanted duplicates out of my library?

I have over 1200 songs in my iTunes library that have always synced fine, I have added a new album to my list from one of my CD's, synced to add it to my library but less that 100 songs are now showing on my device and no matter how many ways I try its not able to show any more.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to rectify the situation as I have tried every help setting for the last 4 hours.

I have tried everything I have read on the Internet about sync issues and restore etc and not there isn't a single song on my iPad or iPod touch. All of the songs are listed in my iTunes but are all greyed out, some have the cloud symbol next to them but lots don't and some say waiting.
Long and short is nothing will save to my devices at all.....HELP !!!!!!!?

These are the downsides of a shared library because if you delete the song from your library it will get also automatically deleted from your kids library. If you want to proceed then please follow this guide: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4915
