Hi SureniWonder,

I understand that you see a few duplicates of your songs on your iTunes library and want to slightly reduce duplicates. I have some information for you that will help you accomplish this. First, here's an Apple Support article on a built-in feature of iTunes that will help you duplicate addresses:

  • Music Apple removes the songs & ID Tags

    Dear community,

    I have a problem with Apple music and my library on my Mac and iPhone! Apple music will remove the songs and lyrics and identification labels (side etc.). With "delete", I mean the following:

    -delete the songs: next to the song the cloud is listed, even if the song has been downloaded.

    -removed ID tags: for example: I note all my songs, but unfortunately all the stars disappear.

    -remove the words: all added words are dissapeard.

    What can do and why - what happened?

    Bye,.

    Mike

    I don't know on the sides and others because I do not use music from Apple. You must realize that if the service finds there is a corresponding item in the iTunes Store for something you have on your Apple computer will use its own copy of the file which does not include your custom tags.  I think that the only way to work around this problem is to change the name and other identifying information about your tracks so Apple thinks it's something completely different and download your copy.  I don't know if this will include lyrics.

  • Removing duplicates, I usually have to remove the song duplicate twice to make it disappear. Why?

    When you remove duplicate songs, I usually have to remove the song duplicate twice to make it disappear. Why?

    When I delete the duplicate song it pops up again. When I erase it a second time he remains missing.   After the first removal, he reappeared with a little cloud in an arrow down. Once I have remove that she remains missing.

    Is it possible that I can delete a song in one operation?

    iTunes 12.3.3 on Mac Pro Tower

    Looks like you have an iCloud music library, Subscribe to Match iTunes Apple music (or both).  The first time, you probably delete the local copy of the song file (stored on the storage of your computer).  But the song still in your iCloud library, so it appears in your list of music library with the cloud with the arrow symbol (which you can click to download it again).  You can still play the song streaming from iCloud.  The second time, you delete the song completely within your music to iCloud library.

    You can see the distinction if you right click on a song (which is stored locally) in iTunes.  On the shortcut menu that appears, there are two separate, Remove Download and deletecommands.  Remove Download removes the local copy of the song file, but keeps the song in your music to iCloud libraryDelete deletes the song completely, with a single action.

  • Deletion of albums of my iTunes library also removes the songs from these albums of my playlists

    Hello! I wonder if there is a way to delete albums of my iTunes library without removing songs from these albums of my playlists.

    I take my playlists seriously enough (because I know others do too) and would not that they be tampered with. The songs I have in them that I'm here for a reason and a lot of these songs are single whole albums I've saved in my iTunes library. I just recently the desire to clean my library because he got rather crowded with reckless decisions, but I can't do it until I have a solution. I'm glad that I remembered that this might affect my playlists before any serious damage was done.

    I still have to find a question like this or a setting that would allow me to do. Please help me if you have an idea of how to go on this subject! Thank you very much in advance

    No, you cannot delete an album on iTunes and at the same time not delete tracks. You could potentially change the details of the track so that less albums appear in the library, but I'm reluctant to even suggest that he. Data are always more easily thrown only recovered later.

  • Remove the song using the Brush tool problem!

    Hey guys. I have this problem where I am editing a clip of marriage the bride and married the first dance and someone shout up and strong throughout the dance! I have been using the Brush tool to remove the voice and did a good job doing that, however when I play the clip to see how much it deleted, I get either a noise grinding, or I still hear the voice, but he is confused or it the effects of other voices in the clip that I don't want. This is a mistake on my behalf or you have to do something else like add an effect to impress the survey?

    What you ask, despite all efforts to finesse, will not generate a perfect result. Live events such as weddings, are quite what you hear is what you get and the needs of the customers to understand that before you get into all those hours that will zap your gain at minimum wage.  I'd go to a different, more creative route.  Kill the original audio - record but these precious moments and cut in the music played in the bed.  When one of those moments arrive, dub/mix it.  Don't kill you on that.

  • The song disappear from iTunes on my MacBook.

    I have a song that shows as being in my library on my MacBook, but it is not. Some time ago I downloaded and then deleted. It disappeared from all my other devices but still present in iTunes on my MacBook. When I try to delete nothing happens, when I try to play nothing happens. When I opened the box of info song that States that it is always stored in iCloud, but it does not appear on any of my other peripheral iCloud library or is available from me to re-download cloud icon there.

    I tried to restart my MacBook & iTunes and also tried to turn my library iCloud off & back on, even running that a repair on my drive does not resolve the issue.

    Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Hi rangers29,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. Based on what you said, it seems that there is a song that is just listed in iTunes and does not react to reading or deleting.

    One thing that can cause this is wrong with the iTunes library file. We can try to restore the file and see if the library updates and removes the song in the list because it is not downloaded.
    If you do not see your entire library after you update iTunes on your Mac or PC - Apple Support

  • Double click in iTunes don't play the song.  Still next song plays.

    Hello

    I have iTunes 12.3.3.17 on an iMac running 10.10.5 Yosemite.  I have a strange problem where in iTunes, I double-click on a particular song, but the next time song.  The next song played depends on whether or not I shuffle defined or not.  If shuffle is set, the next song is random.  If shuffle is not defined, then this is the next song in the album.  I can double click on any other song in any list, and it will play.  It's the only song that I found that will not play.  Still, it climbs to the next song.  I can be in a playlist.  I can be in 'my music '.  When I double-click on this song, always plays the next song.  A strange thing happened when I was downloading this album on the iTunes store.  My iMac has encountered an unexpected error and restarted itself.  When I logged in, things are although had downloaded all the songs.  But I'm running into this issue with this one song.  This is the first song in the album.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thank you very much.

    Hello Wilyd,

    I understand that you have a problem with the first song on the album that you downloaded from the iTunes Store.  The best way to solve the problem is to remove the song and it download on the iTunes Store.  If the second attempt not only success, so I'll include a link to the iTunes Store Support team so that they could watch that particular file.   Here is the information you need:

    ===========================================
    It is not possible to completely remove the song
    but you may be able to decrease significantly.

    If you want to experiment... the free Audacity software
    may be worth a try:

  • I have two versions of the same book on my iphone and ipad.  I want the same book, so I can study on each device.  I tried to remove the books and start again.  It does not work.  Help.

    I have two versions of the same book on my iphone and ipad, which are not synchronized with the other.  I want the same book on each device, so I can study on one or the other.  I tried to remove the books on my phone, ipad & itunes and start again.  It does not work.  Help.

    Hello david.hogan87,

    Thanks for posting about what is happening. If I understand you correctly, you have a book you want on your iPhone and iPad, but neither is synchronizing correctly to have both.

    Have you checked every device to confirm that the same identifier Apple is signed all three?

    iPhone and iPad: head to settings > iTunes and App Store

    iTunes: on a Mac, it's under account or installed depending on the version of iTunes store.  On a PC, it is also under account, and if you don't see the menu bar, click on the triangle in the upper left corner to view the Bar Menu or CTRL + B on the keyboard.

    If all 3 have the same signed Apple ID, post the version of iOS and iTunes for all three devices here, please.

    Best regards.

  • Apple music changed the version of a song that I just bought!

    I just bought the slow version of Neil Sedaka, "breaking up Is Hard to." I then entered my library, found the song and click on play, and it was the fast version! I then pulled to the top of the window pop-up next to the song, selected remove download, then re-uploaded (click on the cloud icon), hoping that I could get the version that I actually purchased, but it wasn't. Then, I pulled the top of the window popup and selected remove instead. Probably a big mistake, because now the song has completely disappeared from my library. How can I get the song back, then in the form that I actually bought?

    You can go here to see if your purchase is listed and report?

  • Cannot install the Edge because he is unable to remove the old version (shadow)

    When I try to install on board to inspect, I get an alert that says:

    Click OK to try again or enter a different path to the folder containing the installation package 'shadow_r4_win_082112.msi' in the box below.

    When I click Cancel (because I do not have this file), he invites:

    And then the final message:

    Edge inspect Installer ended prematurely because of an error. Your system has not changed. To install this program later, run Setup again. Which the button finish to exit the installation program.

    And then I click Finish and it closes...

    What can I do? I'm stuck.

    Hi robhoeben_qvision,

    Sorry to hear that you experience these symptoms of msi.

    There was formerly a msi Cleanup utility, you can run to get out of this State, but microsoft it takes longer because of dangerous side effects.  Instead they now offer this troubleshooting page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651.

    I just tried to run the MS fix it to the utility from this page which is a separate program that you download (direct link: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9779673&entrypointid=MATSKB).

    I chose:

    1. Accept
    2. Detect problems and allow me to select patches
    3. Uninstalling

    The utility then gave me a list of my installed programs.  See if you can find Adobe Shadow and then see if the utility can uninstall correctly this way.  Once Adobe Shadow is deleted successfully, the installer of edge inspect should work fine.

    Please let me know if it works for you.

    Thank you

  • You can remove the gaps between songs in itunes 12.5.1.21

    How can I remove the gaps between songs itunes 12.5.1.21

    Unfortunately, user control in playback gapless disappeared several years ago.  There are different things you can try. You can use a different ripper to rip tracks omitting gaps (see XLD).  You can set crossfade overlap packed during the silence between tracks.

    Can't remove most of the songs or videos in 12.4.1. Delete does not appear in the context Menu. After finding duplicates, remove is grayed out in the Menu of the song. Drag to the trash does not work. Delete key does not work. Keyboard shortcuts do not work. That is what it is? I double videos and unwanted songs and I can't get rid of them!

    These options are not available in smart playlists, if that's where you are trying to delete.
