I am new to Itunes and imported several music files. Probably something I did but several files are dups. Is there a way to globally delete these or do you have to individually delete them?

I am pretty new here, only posted a few times here and there. I am also a brand spanken new Apple user with the new iMac 2.1GHz machines. When I got my iMac, I wanted to port everything my Dell, to my iMac. This was great and all, and mostly worked, though I ended up duplicating about 400 songs, about 4 times each. Is there some type of feature or something I can do with automator that would get rid of my duplicate songs?

Furthermore, there are 5 songs which I can not play, bought from the iTiunes store. Contacted the iTunes store - they "enabled" the download for those 5 songs. When I connect to the iTunes store, login and check for downloads etc. I get the error message: Unable to check for available downloads. Duplicate file name was specified.

All of a sudden I have over 6,500 duplicate tracks in my iTunes.Not entire albums but many tracks from an album are duplicated.Is there an easy way to get rid of these tracks or do I have to do this one by one?Also why would this be happening? I have "Keep iTunes Media Organized" checked as well as "Copy files to iTunes when adding to library".

View 7 Replies View RelatedI just noticed that instead of the normal iTunes folder structure in my home dir of Music/iTunes/iTunes Music now the iTunes Music folder as well as the Mobile Applications folder have been copied into a new folder called iTunes Media. Is this something to do with iTunes 9 or Snow Leopard. Also what folders are safe for me to delete? Because everything has been duplicated I am wasting about 30gb of my hard drive and I'd like the space back.

I created a bit of a mess with iTunes 11 while migrating from Windows to Mac OS. Somehow I have duplicate subscriptions in the "My Podcasts" view. When I look at them, they don't have proper icons and the subscript setting is turned off (i.e. unsubscribed ). The listing that has an icon and has an episode count is working fine. Also, The duplicate subscription entries do not appear in the "list" podcast view. I tried using "Edit->delete" from the iTunes menu to delete them, but nothing happens.
Is there a way to get rid of these duplicate entries?

Itunes 11.2.2 for Mac running on Mac OS X 10.9.3
I work for production company that uses iTunes to manage our Production Music Library. We allow iTunes to keep the media folder organized and we have iTunes copy new files to the media folder.
In Music Libraries 1 song can have numerous edits. And this is where the problem lies for us. Below is an example, long and drawn out for everyone:
The Song Title is "Send me over the edge"
There is 1 full length (3:32)
There is 1 full length instrumental (3:32)
There are four 30 second edits (:30)
:30 w/ vocals
:30 instrumental
:30 no percussion
:30 no strings
*All information regarding edit specifics is commonly found in the comments field of the metadata*
Now, when I go to import all 6 songs into iTunes, iTunes is only importing 2 songs.
I believe that iTunes is analyzing these files and seeing that they have the same name and length and is thus assuming they are duplicate files. I have tried to rename them on the finder level, but that doesn't seem to work. Which leads me to believe that iTunes is looking to the Metadata, which (to my knowledge) I can not change without a third party program. I have also tried dragging them in one track at a time, and that does not work either.
I am dealing with importing over 500 songs that all have multiple versions like I just described. Is there an option in iTunes that will allow me to override iTunes and decide which tracks are duplicates? or any way to get all my songs into my iTunes Library?

I have a number of tracks on both an artists album and again on a compilation album, not to mention greatest hits. (eg Today by Smashing Pumpkins on both Siamese Dream and again on Triple J Hottest 100, Vol. 2). I know it's a little OCD, but I like having the tracks available through both albums on iTunes (depending on my mood, I'll put the album on or go for a Triple J Mix). Even so, I'd like to decrease the 4.82GB worth of duplicates somewhat. If there is a way to do this automatically, that would be great, but I doubt it. There is also, of course, the risk of deleting album releases in favour of Live recordings or vice versa to consider in this.

The main issue is that in iTunes>Devices>Info>Sync Calendars, I see of Local calendars listed and also iCloud calendars listed (they show a portion of the address (CalDAV?) that they use to sync), and the issue is that I have DUPLICATE iCloud calendar entries here and I would love to remove them.
Here is my setup:
MBP with Lion and iPhone 3G with all updates.
All of my calendars sync with iCloud (I also have an iPad, but not issue with it.) and there are no duplicate calendars or events in iCloud on the web, so this is fine.I sync my iCloud/iCal calendars to my iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) via iTunes and this is going well, so no problems here, either. I would just like to remove the duplicate iCloud calendars from iTunes under the Info pane so as to simplify life and my understanding. Also, there are other apps (like TimeTable) that go and read the master list of calendars. So, on this app, I see ALL of the calendars by name without being able to distinguish them any other way.how I can climb inside of iTunes and remove the duplicate iCloud calendar entries?

I use Google's Google Play and I made the mistake of Downloading my Library from the Google play Music Manager in my (early 2011) MacBook Pro's System Preferences after I already had my music library in iTunes so now I have a duplicate of every single song and not sure how to delete them. I tried using the the advice offered on here where I sort all music based on DATE but every song has the same date and about the same time so that won't work for me. Other then downloading a paid program I'm not sure what my options here are. That being said, let me know if anyone know what options other then paying for a program to do this for me or worse... having me click on every single duplicate song individually until I finish?

I have written the applescript below to duplicate my Apple Lossless iTunes library as a MP3 Library. I wanted the script to be able to do the following things:
1. For all Apple Lossless tracks in iTunes Library (at the moment the script is just set to work with a selection for testing purposes) check if track already exists in MP3 folder with more recent modification date and:
a If yes, do nothing
b If same track with earlier modification date convert and replace track (so that tag changes are transferred)
c If track doesn't exist convert track.
2. If there are any MP3 files in the target folder that aren't in the source folder (i.e. the iTunes Music Folder), delete these files. This is for the scenario when I delete files from my iTunes Library that I no longer want, and I want the equivalent MP3 file to be deleted as well. So once the script has finished running there should be an exact match between the Apple Lossless library and the MP3 folder.
The script below does everything I want it to do with the following caveats:
1. I am not sure how to go about deleting the MP3 files as in part 2. I guess it would have to be an additional section of script which compares each file by name in the folder/subfolder in the iTunes Music Library with the equivalent folders in the target music folder, deleting any files found in the target music folder that don't exist in the iTunes Music folders, but I'm not sure if this is the best/only method, and how I would go about scripting this.
2. Because I need to specify the conversion twice (once if no file exists in target folder and once if it does but with an older modification date) I am wondering about using a subroutine method here. I tried doing so, but no conversions happened even though some should have happened. I wonder if this is because the relevant variables aren't picked up properly by the script when it's a subroutine. I can leave things as they are, just thought it would be good to make the script neater.
Im new to the Mac operating system. I am proficient on a PC, but Macs have always captivated my attention. I finally gave into the Macbook. Anyways ---
The Automator application seems phenomenal in theory I just haven't learned all the ins and outs yet, but i see the concept that it was designed for (Jobs = Genius). Long story short I was streaming all of my music over from my PC and it got interrupted twice. I kept streaming to the same folder but it never prompted me to replace existing files of the same name. So I figured it would do it automatically. To my dismay that wasn't the case at all. I now have 9,000 songs and at least 4,000 of which are duplicates/Triplets. I wanted to know if there was some way to streamline the process of deleting and purging all these files out of my Music Folder/Itunes Library, Via the Automator program or any other program you know of.
Not sure that this is a Snow Leopard issue, since I never tried this with earlier OS versions but here goes. OS10.6.1, MacBook Pro. Wanted to duplicate a DVD - not a commercial one but one made by my community organization who had told me it was not blocked in any way and I could copy it. Used " Get Info " to find size, which showed as 1.39 GB, and knew from watching the disc that it ran about 30 minutes.
Bought some Memorex discs at OfficeMax rated " 4.75 GB data, 120 Minutes Video 1-16x speed ".
Opened Disc Utility and followed the instructions, selecting " Read only ". When I was asked , I inserted a blank disc but got a message saying the disc did not have enough space. So, I re-did everything but selected " Compressed" instead of " Read only", but again got the message that the disc I inserted didn't have enough space to copy what I wanted. Tried a different blank disc from the pack I had bought, same result.
Coming from Windows land, this sounds so dumb. How do I copy an audio CD to a blank CD-R (or CD-RW) on the Mac (OS X 10.4.1)?
I tried using Disk Utility to first create an image of the original on the hard disk and then used the burn option to burn the image to a blank CD - now I have a coaster with 17MB of unreadable data (instead of 500MB)!
I don't like the idea of ripping the CD with iTunes and burning the tracks back (I prefer to have the same quality as the original).
Is this even possible with an application that comes with the base OS in OS X 10.4 (without additional third party apps)?
I currently own a Macbook Pro (pre unibody 17") 2.6 ghz, 4 gb ram, with a 2 tb western digital premium edition II external hard drive for my audio files. (mostly .mp3 <few aac>) and a 1 tb western digital studio edition external with my music videos. These are filled 1.1 tb and approx 800 gb respectively. I am currently using a program called Serato with its VSL plug in.
