If I delete a song in the list of duplicates itunes, it has an effect on the existing playlist?

If I delete a song in the list of duplicates itunes, it has an effect on the existing playlist?

Official notice of Apple on the duplicates is here: find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library. This is a manual process and article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as the lost coast and membership of playlist, or sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library as well as a removal and recycling the file will break all the others.

Use MAJ > view > show items to reproduce exactly to display the duplicates because it is normally a selection more useful. You must manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sort the list by Date added can make easier select appropriate tracks, but it works better when executed immediately after the dupes were created.  If you have several entries in iTunes connected to a same file on the disk hard then don't not send to trash.

Use my DeDuper script (Windows only) If you are not sure, do not want to do it by hand, or want to maintain ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this background thread , this post for detailed instructions and Please take note of the warning toback up your library before deduping.

(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to temporarily view or CTRL + B to keep displayed.)

The latest version of the script can put away the dead links as long as there is at least a double live to merge his stats and membership of the playlist and must deal wisely when the same file has been added through multiple paths.

With this many files, it might pay to break down the problem into smaller pieces.

  • do not copy songs in the smart playlist for 10 iOS device

    I have upgraded to 12.5.1.21 on my Mac Mini Tuesday and set iTunes to update my iPhone 6 and Air iPad for iOS 10.  I also have an iPod Touch 5 which is glued to the ISM 9, which turns out to be a blessing.  In iTunes I have a large number of smart playlists, which many turning content at least recently played or update filters to filter the songs that were played in the last week, for example.  So when I play songs in the list, then update the list in iTunes, the songs played are removed, and new songs come in.  Everything works well.

    Until I update my iOS 10 devices.  When I update the playlist in iTunes on Mac, it shows the new content.  When I update my iDevice, it shows the set songs to date on the device, using the view from iTunes on Mac.  When I disconnect the device and check the reading list, there is no songs.  All the songs in the playlist have disappeared.  The songs are really there, but the device iTunes lost them or they were never really copied.

    It does not have other types of playlists. It seems to only affect smart playlists with date restrictions. My iPod Touch always behaves very well with the same smart playlists.  So maybe not a problem with iTunes on Mac, but iTunes iOS 10.

    I also found that the smart playlists which depend on other playlists (i.e. they understand a rule "Playlist is... ") are similarly broken and empty in the iOS 10 (but they agree in iTunes on a Mac (for now)).  This is true if the original selection is also a smart playlist, or just a regular manual selection.

    However, I followed the tips in this article, and that fixed it for me: http://www.techradar.com/how-to/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/ios-10-pr oblems-here-s-how-to-fix-the-most-common...

    In short, everything Unsync broken playlists (i.e. remove them your phone) and then add them in.  It took a bit big for me to understand how juggling UNSYNC all my playlists without him also remove the associated music (mainly because I did not want to wait that it will copy my entire library over), but after I made, my playlists all started working for me again.

    Maybe he'll help with date rules as well?

  • How do I rate songs in the smart playlist in 12.4.3?

  • I lost the music: when I delete a song in a playlist it is also deleted in my library

    I use regular playlists, not the smart playlist. I followed the instructions on the site Apple help to iTunes, where it is written "deletion of an item in a playlist is not delete it from your iTunes library or your computer." I'm in the playlist, find the song I don't want to get there, click on the... where I can add it to other reading lists or delete. Choose Delete. Now, I realized right after editing a bunch of playlists and songs of them, deleting it also deleted from my iTunes library. I had to re-import (those I remembered the deletion) to have the songs in my library and other playlists.

    How can I delete a song in a playlist and keep it in the library?

    I have 12.3.3.17 which I believe is the latest version of iTunes.

    Open the playlist.  Select the piece to remove. Press Delete on your keyboard.

  • How can I change the order of songs in my list "to the top following" of Apple's music with the 10 iOS?

    Thanks for your help guys! :-)

    Hey Aktivoli,

    If I understand correctly, you use the Apple music app and want to change the order of the songs until the next.
    I recommend reading this article, it explains how to change the order in the Apple's music library and playlists.

    Swipe up on reading to display your queue up next, that lists all the songs that you have selected for the current playback.

    Drag the songs with to rearrange the order, or swipe to the left to remove a song you want to ignore.

  • Can't delete songs from the iPhone from iTunes 6

    iPhone iOS 6 9.3.2

    iTunes 12.4.1.6

    OSX 10.11.4 El Capitan

    I have manually manage music on my iPhone with iTunes.  I used to be able to select an album in iTunes and then drag it to the iPhone to add it to the iPhone.  The only way I can get the albums on my iPhone is now, right-click and select Add to the device.  Also, I used to be able to DELETE the songs off iPhone from iTunes.  Now when I select and right-click on several songs of the devices > iPhone > music section of iTunes, the only option I get is to add to the Playist...  I can't delete songs from my iPhone from iTunes.  Any ideas.  There must be a better way than the manual removal of the iPhone.

    When your iPhone is connected to iTunes, check the settings > music section to find something like this:

    You can check "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" here instead of 'Library of music together' as I did.

    On the iPhone summary page, you can also check a box that says something like "only sync checked items" - or words to that effect.

  • I cancelled iTunes on a Macbook Air, issued by the school.  All my music is stored/saved on my iMac at home.  If I delete the playlists and songs of the Macbook it will affect my master library?

    I cancelled iTunes on a Macbook Air, issued by the school.  All my music is stored/saved on my iMac at home.  If I delete the playlists and songs of the Macbook it will affect my master library?

    Unless you're 'home sharing', which he does not seem like you are, two libraries (macbook and iMac) are distinct, so a change does not affect the other.  Best way to test would be to remove a few songs you can download easily and see if it changes.  But I don't think it will be a problem.

  • First song in the list of reading/album on repeat and appears about 20 times in 'To the TOP NEXT'

    On iOS when I hit play button to playback of a playlist or album, only the first song is played. If I hit then it starts the same song from the beginning. The search in the list IN FOLLOWING the same song is about 20 times in there. This isn't the behavior that I'm used to. First, I thought I did something wrong even if I did the same thing for months. I've cleared up the list until the NEXT and went to the playlist/album, clicking on the button «...» "to the right of the work of selection/album selected ' play following. You expect that all elements in the list of reading/album would be queued in the NEXT list upwards. Not so much anymore. Only the first song. I mean imagine listening to the latest album by Gwen Stefani. You end up by listening as the first song where she begs to be put out of misery.

    This behaviour started before moving to 9.3 so I thought that the upgrade would fix it, but it seems that I'm not this chance. Is there anyone else knows this behavior or experience?

    Looks that hit play on any song would fill the list until the NEXT with the same song. If someone @AppleMusic dev team likes to listen to the same song 20 times in a row.

    See you soon,.

    Eduard

    Well, it seems that the strange behavior was because of the 'Repeat 1 song' selected option.

    I think that when you plug the headphones into your iPod, it begins to automatically play the first song because your music application is still open. You can stop it by opening the music app and pausing again. Or just press pause on the screen of reading here and close the application.
