Will Match remove duplicate songs and duplicate albums and make them into one?

I have a ton of songs and albums that are like that. Some albums have differnet artwork too. Will match compare these to itunes and make them all unified?

The only exception is that If it finds an *exact* duplicate (tags and all), it will not upload it; however, it will still leave both copies in your original library (one will have a little cloud with a line through it next to it).

  • I created two iTunes libraries on my mac mini and would like to merge them into one library. What is the easiest way to do this?

    I created two iTunes libraries on my mac mini back in the day. I would like to consolidate them into one iTunes library. What is the easiest method to do this? I do use i-Match to access all my music from  iCloud, if that makes any difference.  Thanks. Mark

    Thanks for the reply. When I created the 2 libraries years ago I would hold down the options key and had 2 library names to choose from. Now it just shows a lot of files when I do that, With over 7,000 songs I think I will just look for the few songs from the original library I used to use that still interest me, if they don't show up in my default current library. Thought there would be any easy was to integrate all my music files into one library. I am definitely not going to spend days manually doing this, but thanks again.

  • I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them into one. How can I do this?

    I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them together.  How can i do this?

    You can't just merge them. You will have to add the photos of Book B to Book A and add new pages to A to duplicate those in B.
    NOthing was said about copying and pasting - you add the photos from book B to book a, add pages to bbok a and recreate teh pages in book a
    Another way would be to print book B to PDF sending the PDF to iPhoto and then placing the pages as full page images in book A

  • I have two itunes accounts and want to make them into one account.

    I have two itune accounts and would like to combined them to make one.  Is this possible and if so how can I do it?

    At the moment it's not possible to merge iTunes accounts.

  • I think I have 2 itune accounts open and would like to consolidate them into one -don't know my user name of the one account how can I consolidate these

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Sorry, the forum is not letting me post links.  You will need to add the https stuff to the start of this --> iforgot.apple.com/
    To identify an account used to purchase an item:
    In iTunes, select one of the items purchased from the iTunes store. Click on "Purchased" under iTunes store on the left side of iTunes.
    Right click --> get info.
    On the Info tab will be the Apple/iTunesID used to purchase the item.
    You cannot combine accounts.  Anything bought with one will permanently be associated to that account.  Decide which one will be your main one and just use it.  Keep stuff from the other backed up so you don't have to log into that account again unless essential.

  • IMac G3 Panther, Why do I have three hard drives on my desk top and how do I combine them into one?

    Trying to get an old iMac up to be enough for my four year old to go on the internet.  Upgraded to panther and put an airport card in.  Now problems;
    1.  It can connect to my airport express, but not if I have the password enabled, then it won't, even if I put the password in.
    2.  There are 3 hard drives showing on the desk top, with the space divided between them.
    3.  I've been trying to download an old version of flash, but it never finishes and says it can't write the file or something like that.  I kind of think it has to do with the file being to large and since the hard drive is divided, it won't fit.
    Let me know if anybody can help and thank you for your time....

    Your old iMac can only connect to a WEP network, and yours is probably WPA.  As far as the partitions are concerned, if you don't need any any of the data on it, use your Panther disc and erase and fomat it as one partition.

  • HT1751 I have 2 Itunes accounts and would like to merge them into one. How can I do that?

    I have 2 Itunes accounts, one with all my music librairy and a 2nd I created after purchasing my Ipad. I didn't realize then I could have used my Itunes credentials. How can I merged both under the same account without loosing my purchases?

    As Niel stated, you cannot merge them.
    You can keep the purchased items in your iTunes library and use them with no issues.
    Just pick one of the AppleIDs and stick with that one.

  • How do i remove duplicate songs on my ipod and in my library

    how do i remove duplicate songs on my ipod and in my library

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: 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, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    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 should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.
    Fix the library, then syncing should fix the device.

  • How are duplicate songs deleted from albums?  I've followed iTunes Help intructions but wasn't successful.

    How are multiple duplicate songs deleted from albums?  I've followed iTunes Help instructions but wasn't successful.  I command clicked the duplicate songs to select them, and pressed  "delete" on the keyboard, but nothing happened.  I also tried dragging the selections to tht Trash Bin to no avail. I'm sure that the album is not part of a Smart Playlist since i just impoted the songs.  Would appreciate any and all suggestions

    Right click - Delete.

  • Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

    Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.  This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes.  If I just hit play, this doesnt happen.  As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order.  Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it.  When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example).  But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason.  Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening.  Any thoughts?

    The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
    The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
    trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
    Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
    There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
    at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
    or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
    and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

    My Nano is full and I can no longer sync more music. How do I delete duplicate songs on the Nano to make room for syncing more songs?

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.
