Hi Darrel, with get track names you need to highlight the files first. Go to Music, just below Library, in the left hand column. Sort all the files by name. Locate the untitled files probably called track 01 etc. Click on the first and holding down the shift key click on the last in the list

Hi Darrel, You do have “Music” selected under Library (in left column)? Then as in my previous post: File - Show Duplicates, and iTunes will create a list of all the songs it “believes are duplicates. The only problem with this feature is that it’s quite liberal in deciding what is, and is

Hi Kevin, sudo does not allow for a blank password, which is undoubtedly the problem here. When prompted for a password from sudo, if one simply hits Return, sudo assumes that the user has given up. You need to reset the password by booting from the installation DVD. You can reset the
