What's the easiest way to manage my music on my iPhone 4S, espeially to delete duplicates

It is difficult for to manage playlists, smart playlists and restored playlists. What is the easiest way to go through my 7.9 Gigs of music on the iphone and remove duplicates. Is there a way to do this on the phone itself or do I have to go through syncing?

  • What's the easiest way to retrieve lost music files?

    I was using a file sharing program and I saw that all of my music files were being shown in its share folder, and I did not want to share them. I assumed the files were duplicates and deleted them. When I realized the actual files were being deleted I stopped it, but not before several hundred files were lost. Here is the error message I get when I plug in my iPhone.
    http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w91/Candyman_8877/Untitled1.png
    It says there is a hundred files missing, but when I count the "!" marks in iTunes, I got to 100 by the letter C, so there is definitely several hundred files missing. I have my machine backed up with time machine, and I also have a faily recent copy of my music folder on an external drive.
    I'm wondering, what is the easiest way (using the fewest clicks) to restore all of my missing music files? I'm trying to avoid searching out and restoring every missing file individually, as there are hundreds and this would be very time consuming.
    Thanks for any help and advice,

    If you are confident the Time Machine backup is current, recover your iTunes folder and all its contents from there.

  • What is the easiest way to Transfer 32gb music and pics to 64gb micro sd card

    Hello, I am on the low end of technology knowledge. I just bought a 64 gb micro card for my razr maxx. Please share with me the easiest way to trnsfer my data from one card to the other.
    Also FYI, I just came back from a trip to  Italy. Since the JellyBean update my phone has not been able to connect to way to many free wifi spots. I was unable to connect on the cruise ship as well as in at least half the ports visited. Is Verizon or Motorola working on a software fix to help me and many of you with this known issue???
    Thank you

    Thank you Nick. being able to connect to wifi like everyone else would have enhanced my trip. I was able to connect in some spots but few at best. There is nothing that you can do to help me or many others like me. It is up to Motorola and verizon to work on a software fix. I spent hours and hours  trying to get answers and neither company wants to own up to the reality that one of the best phones today is now a mess due to this last Jelly bean update. I have bought a new router for my home and sisters home but  can not buy routers for the may places that my phone will not connect. I wish that you could help me. i only had the phone for three weeks before this happened. I get error messages , poor signal, unable to connect.
    Do you know of any potential fix  being worked on for this known WIFI issue?
    I assume that the info you sent about transferring Pics and video is the same for music?
    Thank you again for your time and support,
    Allan

  • WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO ORGANIZE MY MUSIC IN MY IPHONE?

    HELLO. I'D LIKE TO HEAR (OR READ...JEJEJE) MORE OPINIONS ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION OF MY MUSIC IN MY IPHONE. I'VE ALREADY CREATED SOME PLAYLISTS BY GENERE, BUT FOR ME, SOUNDS BETTER CREATE A UNIVERSE OF MUSIC AS ONE PLAY LIST AND THEN (IN MY IPHONE) CREATE MANY PLAYLISTS DENOMINATED ON-THE-GO (THOSE ONES BY GENERE), SYNC THE IPHONE AND CHANGE THE NAME OF THE PLAYLIST IN ITUNES.
    IS THIS THE BEST WAY?
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR OPINIONS AND HAVE A NICE DAY

    further explanation: I was totally accustomed to organizing and using my photos and videos on an external drive when I was a Windows user.  Switched to Mac about 5 yrs ago, love it, and have adjusted to the differences, EXCEPT when it comes to the photos and vids.  I Understand where Ben is coming from, because I prefer keeping my photos on an external drive, filed by year, then month, then occasion.  iPhoto keeps getting itself involved, and in my way, and I'm just wondering if it would be better to surrender my way and learn iPhoto's.  I will check out the discussions on the iPhoto forum too.
    I edit photos in photoshop elements, and have ordered lightroom 4 to learn.  I don't have any need for iPhoto, as far as I can see!

  • What is the easiest way to sync and back up 2 iPhones with different accounts on one computer?

    My parents have gotten a new Windows 8 computer and want to use it to back up and sync their phones for updates. They don't share an iTunes account but they do share the credit card used to make purchases. They also so not want to set up "his and her" accounts on the computer. Also they are getting new phones next week. Should I just make an account for them to share and delete their old accounts, or will signing in and out of iTunes based on who is using it keep their information seperate...or is there a much simpler way to do it that I am totally missing?

    I wouldn't say that it is easily done, but it can be done, the reason I don't say easily is because it has to be done individually one at a time. And I assume that you are talking about all ten having the same apps?

  • What is the easiest way to burn a music cd?

    I've been having trouble burning cds on my mac air (10.7.3) with the latest version of iTunes. After I import the cd from the superdrive and insert a blank cd, iTunes closes and I'm taken to the desktop which has the "untitled disc" on it. I have no idea what to do at this point. One tutorial says to select "burn disc" but then I end up with an empty disc. I don't know what to try next. I have burned cds in the past and it made sense. Something has changed. I'm lost. I would appreciate any suggestions which might simplify this process.   Thanks  Bill

    Create a playlist, add songs, select it then iTunes menu File > Burn.

  • What is the easiest way to create and manage very big forms?

    I need to create a form that will contain few hundred questions. Could you please give me some advise on what is the easiest way to do that? I mean for example is it easier to create everything in Word (since it is easier to manage) and than create a form based on that?
    My concern is that when I will have a very big form, containing different kinds of questions and with many scripts, managing it during work will be slow and difficult, for example adding a question in the middle of the form which would require moving half of the questions down which could smash the layout etc.
    What is the best practise for that?
    Thanks in advance

    Try using Table and Rows for this kind of forms. These forms will have the same look throught with a question and and answer section..
    In the future if you want to add a new section, you can simply add rows in between..
    Thanks

  • What is the best way to manage multiple ipods using the same itunes?

    Hi Everyone
    i am trying to manage three different ipods through the one Itunes, all with very different tastes, not sure if I am doing it the best or easiest way so does anybody have a simple solution on what you're supposed to do, to keep it all simple!
    Cheers
    Liv

    If you have created a new Windows user account you need to log out and then log back in with your original user name. By default each Windows profile will have an independent iTunes library.
    If instead you managed to create a new library within the same profile. click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key, keep holding until asked to create or choose a library. Click Choose and navigte back to your original which should be at <User's Music>\iTunes.
    Your question as posed was:
    What is the best way to manage multiple iPods using the same iTunes {library}?
    in which case Selected Playlists is probably the best approach. Simply create a playlist for each device, Alice's iPod, Bob's iPhone etc. and sync the device with the appropriate list.

  • What is the easiest way to assemble forms in Swing ?

    Dear friends,
    I�m doing a nice job with GridBagLayout, and my forms are well designed as well.....
    but now I have to share my tasks with some other guys without swing experience... and I�m afraid to teach GridBagLayout will cause more problems than productivity....
    I have decided to use some framework or another layout manager,....
    can you tell me what is the easiest way to construct forms in Swing ??
    best regards,
    Felipe Ga�cho

    First off, make them learn GridBagLayout as well as the other layout managers (like BorderLayout). Have them play around with JBuilder's visual editor, making note of what changes visually do to the underlying code, etc. It will serve them well.
    I have yet to find an "easier" layout manager that doesn't at some point tie your hands and end up making life more difficult. With GridBagLayout, BorderLayout and use of subcontainers, you can do anything you might need. :-)
    I wouldn't say absolute positioning is anti-Java.
    It's certainly more work to deal with in most cases.
    . You can always get the screen resolution and
    adjust your sizes accordingly. It's still 100% pure
    Java code. It is anti in that it doesn't follow the general spirit of Java. Yes it will be 100% Java code, but it will be at least 90% crap as well. :-) You then can't easily do localization, changes in the look & feel mess up your app, your components won't resize properly, any change to a label's text causes you to have to tweak everything, etc. Ghastly stuff. It is the lazy way to get the GUI to look like someones mock up, but that is all it's good for.
    If you run across a GUI done with absolute positioning, you have my permission to give the responsible developer an atomic wedgie.

  • I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

    I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

    What do you not understand?
    You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
    Or
    However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
    you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

  • I want to use 1 itunes account but with 3 different iphones 2 for the kids and one for me, what is the easiest way to do that?

    I want to use 1 itunes account but sync 3 different iphones, 2 for the kids and 1 for me.  So I would like to have different programs, songs, apps etc for each phone.  What is the easiest way to do that

    Agreed heather. Also, if you have three users on the same account how do you keep phone calls and messages from going to all three phones?

  • What is the proper way to manage movies in iTunes?

    I've just been given a new video iPod, and am now considering importing movies into iTunes so that I can have them on my iPod. What I have is a bunch of MPGs (e.g., family movies from a camcorder, etc.); but I noticed that the iPod won't play them, presumably because they're not MP4 format. I know I can convert them all to MP4 with iSquint or a similar utility. But I want to keep the full-resolution versions in iTunes so that I can display them on a bigger screen as well. So, what is the right way to manage this - do I really need to keep and have in iTunes 2 versions of every movie - one scaled down for iPod as MP4, and one in original resolution? Or is there a better way?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    I think two versions is probably the only way. At least the MP4 versions will be small so shouldn't use up much of your hard drive space.
    By the way, with the MP4 versions that go on your iPod, try hooking your iPod up to your TV set and setting the TV Out option to ON and with the proper AV cable, you should still be able to see them on the big screen. Try it out and see how it looks.
    Since you have a camcorder, you might already have an AV cable you can use. See here...

  • I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

    I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

    Following up on this thread,
    I have a new iMac on the way and my current is from 2008, never had a problem but I am sure there are internal issues that I would prefer not to transfer.
    I have no issues other then the slowness in certain programs and that is the main reason to buy a new one.
    Programs like numbers and pages seem to take a longer time to open after I update to Yosemite.
    I only use 272GB of 500 GB, my memory is 4GB and I am upgrading to 8Gb and bought the 4.0 processor.
    Question:
    Is there a way to manually transfer items or would that be a waste of time in that if there are issues they could be anywhere and would transfer anyway?
