What happened to display duplicates in itunes 11

Just upgraded to itunes 11 and it seems display duplicates is no longer available? Really useful tool

I think it's been removed, which is frankly astonishing. It wasn't a perfect tool but did help when you have a large library. It needs putting back ASAP. I've submitted feedback via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

What is the Display Duplicates button?

What is the Display Duplicates button?

Very likely it is a duplicate. Use Get Info to see the source details for both tracks and/or use "show in Finder" to see if they trace back to the same file. If there's two files then it is a true duplicate. If they go back to the same file then iTunes has mistakenly added a second reference.
If it is mistaken reference you can probably delete it but I am not sure how to do this in your case since I set iTunes to manage my music in a different way. You have to be careful because iTunes default is set up to sometimes delete the file when you delete a track reference. If it is two references to the same file you don't want to delete the file itself.
If they are two different files then you can decide which one to keep (usually the better quality one).

Yeah, you can download them from Apple and from other sources. But then you have to add them to iTunes manually, you have to write (or copy & paste from somewhere else) descriptions, and jump through other hoops to get the same end result that used to be one-click-easy from within iTunes directly. Unless you don't care about having them neat and organized and stuff like that.
Add me to the list of disappointed trailer junkies.
This is an unfortunate side affect and agree that it is cumbersome if you wish to include all the extra info iTunes used to provide. I suggest sending your disappointment to apple via the iTunes feedback channel at http://www.apple.com/feedback

Restore your library from a recent / current backup. If you've failed to maintain a backup of data you obviously regard as valuable, see turingtest2's user tip on Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

Apple has never seemed serious about Apple Radio. You want to see how to do this right, try Amazon Prime Music. It's terrific!

HT2905 What happened to the "Display Duplicates" in iTunes 11?

Just updated to iTunes 11 and thought I'd do a little cleaning up. But I can't find the File > Display Duplicates or better yet, the File > Display Exact Duplicates. Is it gone? Or is there now a different (hopefullly better!) way to get rid of duplicates in iTunes 11?

The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicate copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning tobackup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file. Same advice tobackup applies.

How to display duplicates in Itunes 11

Since I listen to a lot of classical music, accurately synchronizing track titles is very important...
And, with an 80 gig Ipod Classic, I cannot get my whole library [95 gigs +] on it at one time...So, with itunes 10, you could display duplicates which really helped me sort and uncheck multiples of any given classical piece...But that feature appears to be gone with itunes 11...
WHYYYYYY?
Dave

If I was better at web design, or at least had more time, I'd have found a better way to list the scripts and explain how to use them.
I have occasionaly thought about giving each script its own page with screenshots etc. showing how it works and what its output should look like, but that project seems too daunting so I leave it for later. Much later...

What happened to "Show Duplicates" option in i8?

There used to be an option under "View" that allowed you to view duplicate songs in your iTunes library. What happened to it...?

It's under File menu.
Also, if you hold alt and select File menu, it turns into *Show exact duplicates*.

What happens to library when uninstalling iTunes? Please!!

Silly question, I know...
But as I'm experiencing the same problem as everyone else after updating to I Tunes 6 (computer crash + ipod not recognized by itunes), I want to uninstall and reinstall it...
So, what happens to all my music files after I uninstall itunes?? Will they still be there after reinstall or lost forever??
Thanks for your answers.

I always wondered if my music would be gone if I uninstalled iTunes. It does not erase you're music.
This might not be exactly the same problem but lots of people (myself included) had problems after installing iTunes 6.0. I did the following and it finally installed correctly.
I went to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
and downloaded the Cleanup utility near the bottom of that page. When it installs on your machine it will scan your computer for every installer every ran on you're machine. Only select iTunes and Qtime and delete those 2 installers. Then I went to add/remove programs and removed iTunes and Qtime. Prior to this Qtime would not unistall but now it did. Funny thing was there was no prompting by windows once I hit "remove/repair" in the "add/remove programs" function.
Then rerun the iTunes 6.0.1 update. That had been failing to install Qtime prior to this but now it installed and I see all my music again and iTunes works. Let me know if this does the trick, I hope so.

Is there a new way to Display Duplicates in iTunes 11?

Used to be under file Display Duplicates but now it is gone. Anyone found the new way? Is there one? Did they really take away that functionality??

I not this is no consolation, and I am upset that this functionaliy is missing. But I think the best thing we can do is let them know that we want it back. I've already sent off a feedback form to Apple. I'm sure it'll fall on deaf ears, but maybe if enough people do it asking for "Display Duplicates" back mayb we'll see it in an update.

There doesn't seem to be a "Display Duplicates" item under Files in iTunes 11. Anyone know where it might be found? I love it when they change versions but don't change the Help answers.

What happens when i connect to itunes when ive used icloud since i first got my device?

Ive always used icloud but now i have ran out of storage i want to back up my devices using itunes, what will happen when i connect my device to itunes for ythe first time? I am using Windows 8.1 and have 3 apple devices (Ipod touch 5, ipad 2, an a ipad mini original)
Thanks in advance!

Yes - if you try to sync, then it will tell you that it is a new device and everything will be erased. When you sync, you are syncing with the data in the actual iTunes Library. You select which Apps, Music, Movies, TV, Photos, Books, etc. that you want to sync to your device in the Device Profile tabs that will display in iTunes when you hook up your device. Whatever you have selected will sync to your device.
If you have your Contacts, Notes, Calendars, etc. already checked to sync with iCloud (not backup, but the items that are tuned on under Settings>iCloud on both your device and your computer), then those will not get replaced.
If everything on your device is purchased from the iTunes Store, you can download it all to your computer by going to the appropriate tab in the iTunes Store, click on Purchased under the Quick Links section to the right, and then download anything that has a cloud next to it.
Here is a support article on syncing:

What Happened to my Ringtones in iTunes?

I'm running the latest build of iTunes (8.0.2), and Mac OSX Leopard (10.5.6), and my iPhone 3G is running the 2.2 software version.
I am trying to get a few custom ringtones onto my phone, but it would seem that something has happened to prevent me from succeeding.
No matter what I have attempted, my ringtones list do not appear under the RingTones tab of my collection ( I had over 300 a few months ago), and none seem to show up in the Ringtone tab on my phone when connected to iTunes.
- I've converted my wav/mp3 files to AAC formats and renamed them to the .m4r file extension.
- All my samples are 128k, stereo sounds that are less than 30 seconds (most are under 10s)
- The ringtone option no longer appears under the View Options menu.
What gives? I'm at my wits end!

What are all these duplicates in iTunes 11?

Why am I seeing all these duplicates in an album in iTunes 11? How can I get rid of them? Why do some have download from iCloud buttons?
I don't want to think.
What's going on here. What has Apple done to a nice simple interface?
doug

Anything you purchased from the iTunes store is now in iCloud, even if you have not used iCloud yourself. It is there to redownload, in case you've accidentally deleted or corrupted your library. In iTunes 11, Apple made the decision for you that if you bought it, and the version you bought from them is not currently on your computer, they were going to give it back to you. So, for example, if you added a CD version of a song or album at a higher bit rate than the one from the Store, they can only see you don't have their version and want you to take it back.
Try going to Preferences, Store, and unclick "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases"
