Is there a quicker way to remove duplicate song entries in itunes? Also, sometimes when I went to remove them manually then play them later itunes said it could not find the original file of the song that I left??? Any/all help is greatly appreciated, cheers Paul

Hello,
2 'fast' options really -
1) Export of application + Export/DataPump of schema
This works if you want a complete 'mirror' from one environment to another of the schema objects
2) Supporting Objects
Bundle all your requirements together with the application export.
The Supporting Objects feature absolutely rocks and yet very very (very!) few people seem to use it.

  • What's the quickest way to remove "compilations" setting from all albums?

    I noticed that a lot of albums of mine are stored in the Compilations folder, however, this must have been a default setting when ripped as they aren't compilations, just regular releases. I want to put all these albums into the correct artist folders and want to know the best way to do this to not lose the links between them and iTunes.
    I was thinking if it was possible to go into itunes, choose view-compilations, filter to show all compilations, then select them all, right click get info, and check and uncheck the compilations section - would this work? Has anyone else had success putting "compilations" back to individual artists?

    Hi,
    See attached screen shot
    You will now see Compilations under Artist. This will help you to identify true compilations as well as those mislabelled.

  • HT1417 What's the quickest way to delete duplicates without going song by song?

    What is the quickest way to delete duplicates from i tunes library without going song by song?  I just transferred my music from my ipod classic to my computer and now I have a lot of duplicate music.  Most is from CD's I reburned or music I was able to get back on my new computer through I tunes.  It is from my personal i pod (one of 4).  I finally figured out how to get it off the ipod and back onto my newer computer. I made sure to go to advanced setting and check "keep i tunes folder organized" but it still saved all duplicates.

    Apple's official advice 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.
    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 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)

  • What is the best way to shorten a song so it will fit on a slideshow.

    What is the best way to shorten a song so it will fit on a slideshow so I do not have to remove or add pictures.
    Thank you in advance

    No need to shorten the audio track.  Just click on the option to Fit slideshow to music in the Slideshow Settings preference pane:
    That will do just what it says, play the slideshow for the entire length of the music selected to play.

  • What is The correct way to remove duplicates from the iTunes library?

    I have a 300GB external drive which over the last 5 years has got bloated with duplicate tracks.
    If I use the show duplicates option, I see 10,479 songs totalling over 50GB. Now, those songs that are shown, do they include the original that they are a duplicate of, or are they JUST the duplicates?
    I have been sorely tempted to select all and delete to the trash, but I want to be 100% sure I don't delete any originals. Also, there are some duplicate tracks that are genuine dupes, for example, I have an original LP with a particular track on it, but then that exact track appears on a compilation LP, so I don't want to remove the compilation LP tracks as then the compilation is incomplete.
    I have Tidy Up installed, but I'm a bit wary to use it as I want to be 10% sure I do the right thing, it's a lot of money to lose, and I'm a DJ, so this is thousands of conversions from my vinyl collection and stuff purchased and ripped from CD.
    I see many methods of getting rid of duplicates but no definitive answer for someone in my position.
    Many thanks all!

    This is supposed to be a fix to the result from SQL. Currently no access to the SQL code so we have to fix in he Java code...Then really, whoever said you couldn't change the SQL has absolutely no right to turn around and demand the fastest way to remove the duplicates in Java. It's almost certain that the fastest way to remove the duplicates would be for the SQL not to select them in the first place, so if you don't permit changing the SQL then it's clear you aren't interested in the fastest way.

  • I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)

    I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)
    Let me explain:
    In the clock app for ios 6.0.2 I am a little confused. It allows you to go into your music library, and create a ringtone using any songs you choose. However, I cannot find a way to remove a song from this list, just like I cannot delete one of the preset ringtones (which I'm not trying to do, but just as an example)
    Thanks for your time! If you need more information just ask.
    (I believe both my iPod and iTunes are up to date)

    I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
    Hope it will be helpful

  • What is the quickest way to access the Settings on an iPad?

    What is the quickest way to access the Settings on an iPad? (I mean, the usual cogwheel "app" called Settings)
    In particular, I'm looking for a quicker way (or a more convenient one) to access it from an open application, than hitting the "home" button, possibly swiping the home pages, and tapping on it.
    (I know, I know, I already placed it in the bottom bar, so I have it available from all pages...)
    It would be great if I could cut another step or two. I mean, there are situations where I need to use the Settings app repeatedly. I wonder why it was not included in the iOS 7 swipe-from-bottom menu, while the "Camera" or "Countdown Timer / Clock" made the cut.
    I know everybody will have a different opinion on what should be included in that menu, and choices have to be made, but still...
    for example, on my Android smartphone the newer OS updates placed a shortcut to the settings app in the upper-right corner of the swipe-down menu, which is like the most prominent place you could place it in.
    Anyway, do you know of one or more alternative ways to access the Settings app?
    (Oh, and yeah, it just occurred to me that I can four-finger swipe it, if I have accessed it recently, but again if I access another app or two in between it will become at least as cumbersome as going through the home page).

    Anyway, do you know of one or more alternative ways to access the Settings app?
    Short answer, no. If you have a suggestion for future iOS functionality, use the feedback functionality found elsewhere on this site.

  • What is the best way to compress a song?

    What is the best way to compress a song to bring it into IMOVIE?

    I assume you are referring to compressing the file size of the resultant song, rather than compressing the audio dynamic range of the tracks in the song.
    GarageBand only outputs .AIFF files which are uncompressed 16-bit, 44.1KHz stereo audio.
    As far as I know, there is no point in compressing the GarageBand song before importing it into iMovie, because iMovie uses the same format for audio internally as GarageBand does.
    You can open a GarageBand song in iTunes and use iTunes to convert it to an MP3, but when you import that MP3 into iMovie it's going to up-sample the MP3 back into AIFF format anyway.

  • What's the quickest way to open Access Connections?

    What's the quickest way to open Access Connections, apart from its Taskbar level meter?
    I prefer to use the Power Manager battery meter instead, as it looks pretty ugly when both are used, and they take up too much space.
    Fn+F5 no longer gives any access to Access Connections either.  And it is not integrated into the standard Windows network system tray icon's right-click menu, like Power Manager is with the standard power system tray icon.
    You cannot even type Access Connections in the Start Menu search box, as the shortcut is called something else, which I can never remember.
    Ideally, I would at least like to be able to access it though the Fn+F5 box again (I'm pretty sure it was possible in versions).

    This add-on is similar to the Google Chrome translation bar.

  • What is the quickest way to incorporate a new template's styles into an existing template?

    Recently my company have developed a new template. I am creating a document using much content which already exists in an older template with different paragraph styles, table formats and page formats. What is the quickest way to incorporate the new styles so I don't have to individually update the table contents. The paragraph catelog and tables have different titles in the two documents.
    Thanks,
    Niall.
