How can I remove a large number of duplicates in iTunes library

I managed to get all the songs in my library duplicated! Don't know how I did it, but it's a nuisance. Is it possible to remove all duplicates without having to do it song by song?

Are you sure that these are really duplicates? Some iCloud users found a duplicate is really something in iCloud and iCloud items means that they do not show to hide.

If you really have duplicates in your case probably the best way is to see if it all happened at the same time.  See the exact replica and then sort by date and remove the 50% that have been added to this date.

    Hi thang_nguyen!

    Another alternative is to double-click the battery icon and when Power Manager opens, click on Advanced Options > Options and uncheck the box "see the gauge of Power Manager in the bar then apply stains.

    To access the Lenovo Power Manager when the gauge of Power Manager is disabled, right-click on the Windows icon / energy from the battery in the bar of tasks and you should see "Power Manager".

    Highlight a single message and then hold down the SHIFT key and highlight the main message in the Group and who should get all highlighted and then you can press DELETE.  CTRL - A is the same as Edit | Select all if all messages, you can do it like that.

    Depending on what email program you have, you can also create message rules to manage multiple messages from the same source.

  • How can I remove the grey stars in scoring for iTunes 12.3.3.17?

    Hey there. I've recently updated 12.3.3.17 on my Macbook and in previous iterations, I was able to remove the gray stars in the roundabout way ranking column (with 'Art Show' visible and the edition of the album of note, having 'Album Rating' "visible and edit there, etc.", but now it won't let me change the rating?)

    Does anyone know how to solve this problem this time?

    I can't believe that it is still a problem after all this time.

    Thank you

    This method always works for me. You delete these ratings in a view that displays all the tracks in the album?

    Hi Kathleen,.

    How can I prevent double or invalid entries to be added to my library when I play music files?

    When you move digital media files on your computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in your library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in your library if you select the option automatically added to your library when played. As a result, your library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.

    To prevent music files to be automatically added to your library:

    1. in Windows Media Player, click the Tools menu, Options.

    2. on the Player tab, clear music to add to the library when played check box.

    Now, when you play music on your computer or the Internet, the file will not be added automatically to your library.

    If you have problems, try these methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Clear database of Windows Media Player cache files.

    a. exit Windows Media Player.
    b. press the Windows key + R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

    c. Select the Media Player folder, and then delete.

    d. restart Windows Media Player.

    Method 2: Delete the Windows Media Player database and check.

    a. exit Windows Media Player.
    b. press the Windows key + R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
    c. Select all files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.
    Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
    d. restart Windows Media Player.
    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Please post back with the results and we will be happy to help you further.

  • How can I remove unwanted fields

    As a newbie, I apologize if this is a double post, because I can't find the original on the site.

    In the window of writing, a friend has 4 legs next to 4 all giving address fields to, CC, BCC options.
    When they enter an address in the top field, labeled, their address is copied to the second address field down, also by default. Therefore, they are back a copy of outgoing mail.

    An address field then, how can we remove the extras please?
    I don't know the version number, but installation is around the age of 6 months.

    Thanks, Caison.

    in the menu (alt + T) tools > open account settings
    Select the copies and records. and ensure that CC and BCC these addresses is not defined.

    Also restart with disabled addons in the Help menu and see if that stops at automatic insertion, I assure you that's for me.

    While the number of boxes can be forced to one, it is not a good idea, as this entire header turns into a compression if you click on reply to a mail with more than one recipient.
