How can i stop i tunes duplicating all my songs, sometimes i only have to turn it on for it to have done it??

How can i stop itunes duplicating most or all of my songs, i dont seem to do anything and it duplicated something again!!

With your itunes window open, click the iTunes menu at the top of your screen, beside the apple.  Click Quit iTunes at the bottom of the menu to ensure it's actually quit.
Hold option (same as alt) on your keyboard.  Do not let it go.  Click your itunes icon on your dock, while continuing to hold option.  After a very short moment, you should see the library window with the described items show up...
You can then create a new library on your external drive to contain  your movies.  Keep in mind, though, you'll have to repeat the above to select which library you want to use.

    How can I stop Hotmail from pushing all my old emails to my I-phone?
    I have just got an I-Phone and linked it with my Hotmail account but it keeps pushing through 50 emails to my inbox so its always showing 50 messages. How can I get only my new email sent to my phone?

    Hi iprover,
      Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
    Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
    This is what I gather.
    iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
    This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
    My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
    That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
    All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

  • How can i stop iTunes from Auto rating my songs??

    How can i stop iTunes from auto rating my songs in my library?? I have my library very organized and 90% of the time when i listen to music i play "My Top Rated" Playlist on shuffle. The only time i give stars ratings to my songs is for my favourite songs which i give 5 star and every other song is just left with no stars. For some reason iTunes is giving songs i have never played or i dont like 5 Stars and rewining my playlists. I have tried erasing all the stars from my entire library and since doing this a week ago, again (for the 4th time in a year) having a library with not 1 song with any star ratings, all of a sudden i now have 329 random songs with 5 stars again??????
    This is really getting to me as i love my music and love iTunes and everything apple but seriously there has to be away to stop this so i can have my old playlists back!
    Thanks hope some one can help

    One reason itunes will start "at regular intervals" will be if you have an iphone that has sync via wifi enabled. I had the problem following an upgrade to iOS 5.

    Well if you got the Phone Pggray43 at a Local Corporate store in your Area)  you should be able to return it as long as you have all the contents.!  Phone, Charger and any other accessories that came with it the Box of Course.. As long as you have not went past the 14 Day return.. the store can go over what you used as in Air Time and Data..
    Now if you've went past the 14 Day return you be Liable to pay a E.T.F =  Early Termination Fee the fee for this is around $300 so hopefully you have not went past the 14 Day return window the Manager if Available is the one I would talk to tell them your on Social Security and you just can't afford a phone as this I'm sure they'll work with you to get something solved..
    Hope ya have Good Luck.! b33

  • I downloaded garage band on my iPad ages ago but now it just says waiting and when I click on it it just says "retry" and does nothing. I've spent literally ages making songs (I've got like 20 ). How can I get it back with all my songs still there?

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • Ipad keeps  coming on and  online, even though I have it shut off and  wifi shut off, why is this and how can I stop it?  After shutting it off,  sometimes   10 minutes,  or hours later it comes back on, even when not using it

    When my Ipad has been disconnected from wifi and  shut off, it keeps  coming back on and online.  It can happen in 10 minutes, or hours later,  happens  irregulary.  Have noticed when it happens, I get nofications  from facebook of  comments and or posts..  I can switch the wifi off,    switch the iPad off and  then set it beside me,  hour later it dings, i have  noficiations of  face book things, and its online again.. why is this and how can I stop it from happening?

  • How can I stop QuickTime from streaming all internet videos?

    HI
    When I updated my ITunes all the media file associations were changed to QuickTime. I want the Windows Media Player to keep the associations.
    What I did so far is:
    I have disabled all associations in QuickTime player options (except .mov) and turned on all associations in Win Media Player (which I prefer for streaming internet videos) however QuickTime still opens all onling videos. How can I change that. Is uninstalling QT the only solution to this problem?
    PC   Windows XP  
    PC   Windows XP  

    Changing the the file associations from within QT and WMP settings may not be enough if there are current files on the hard drive that have been previously associated with that media player.
    Try right clicking on one of those files, Where it shows; Opens With: click on the Change button, and choose what media player to handle it

  • How can I stop forwarded emails displaying all that header rubbish, please ?

    When I forward an email, there's a huge header that I can't remove.

  • How do you stop app's going across 2 iphones when you only have 1 apple ID for itunes?

    I have an iPhone, iPad & iMac which is all set up lovely. However my girlfriend now has a iPhone too so I have set up her phone with my apple ID for itunes but her own one for emails etc.
    The issue I am having is that when ever she down loads an app it appears on my phone as well, how do I stop this my friends think I'm changing my ways with all these girly apps apearing on my phone at random??

    Hi Oxford_lad,
    apart from you treating your girlfriend to well, you just have to deactivate automatic downloading!
    Enabling Automatic Downloads on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your device.
    Tap Sign In if you're not already signed in to the iTunes Store.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Tap On/Off switch to enable or disable Automatic Downloads for each content type.

  • How can i cut down the video's i've shot to only have the best parts in them for later use

    first thing I was wondering was. I upgraded to the premiere user to where I have 20mb of storage but I take a lot of spearfishing video's and photo's and the 20mb is just about full. I see I can buy more memory but should I just get a external hard drive to keep all my photo's and video's and if I do that is it easy to get the materials that I need for me to create my new projects in premiere elements or should I just buy more memory. the second thing I was wondering is that I take a lot of spearfishing videos and each dive can be 15min long but only have about 4min of action footage that I actually use. so my question is after I download the video's from my camera can I go through them and extract the good footage and save it like that for me to use at a later date in my projects. it would save a lot of time and a lot of memory to be able to do it this way and if I can how do I go about doing it. thank you for all your help Cory

    "I download the video's from my camera can I go through them and extract the good footage and save it like that for me to use at a later date in my projects."
    This is the very definition of video editing, Cory! That's what the program is designed to do!
    If you need some help with the basics of this program, I've created a free 8-part Basic Training series of tutorials for Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com. That may be the best place to start.

    The most important step in any project is setting up the project settings to match your source video as precisely as possible. I cover this in part 1, so watch it carefully. I go into greater detail on setting up a project and capturing, editing and outputting video in my books, if you're interested.
    As for Photoshop.com, I'm not sure it's worth buying more than 20 gig of backup space online at this point. You'd be better off investing in a good, large second hard drive for your media and project files. Save the online backup for your finished pieces.

  • How can I stop my browser crashing all the time?

    My browser shuts down frequently for some unknown reason. Once it crashes at a particular website, or place on a website, I can almost never access that point again, the browser will close every time I try to go there.
    I've been using Firefox, but I've tried other browsers, and it happens with all of them. I was getting the message box, "Browser closed unexpectedly", with the option to restore the session or start a new one. I had to download an upgrade, to the newest Firefox, in order to use Turbotax. Now the message is "We're sorry, Firefox crashed unexpectedly", with options to start over or restore session.
    If I restore the session, it just crashes again if I try to return to the point I was attempting to access.
    There was another person who posted about this same problem, and was advised to use the Disk Utility to repair the disk. I followed the directions, did the disk repair, etc., but it's still closing unexpectedly. It doesn't seem to be happening as often, but I can't access Turbotax now. It closes every time, while I'm waiting for the site to create a secure connection.
    I'm on dial-up, too. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I hope not, as that's my only option at this time. I'm in an area that has frequent power outages, so I shut my machine down whenever I'm not using it. I have been caught by surprise a few times, and the power has gone off while I was using the computer. I don't know if that could have caused this problem to develop.
    Anybody know why this happens, or more importantly, how I can fix it?

    Thanks, but no, it doesn't help. That's basically trouble-shooting Safari. The problem is with my system, I'm not using Safari, though I've tried it. I tried Safari, Firefox, Opera, and Seamonkey, they all do the same thing, at exactly the same websites.
    I know I need to update. I'm on dial-up and haven't been able to update. I don't have someplace or somebody I can go to to access via high-speed. There are no internet cafes around here. There are no Apple stores around here. You can't get an update disk from Apple, which seems really ridiculous to me, but if you don't have high speed access, they don't really seem to care about doing anything whatsoever to help you out.
    I realize there are not a lot of us out in the sticks, but we do exist, there really are still places without all the bells and whistles.
    Thanks anyway, I'm working on finding out how I might be able to score an update. If can get that, if it still boots me out, I'll re-post.
    My thanks to all who responded. I appreciate your time.

  • How can I stop iTunes from duplicating and auto playing my Internet streams whenever I add new media to the library?

    I have been a mac user for a good few years now and use iTunes regularly.
    Since the recent updates to iTunes I have been experiencing an issue that is becoming extremely frustrating and annoying!
    Whenever I add a new item to my library, iTunes starts to play the Internet streams that I have opened over the years and duplicates them in the library in a playlist called "Internet songs". While the library is updated I cannot stop the playback. I have a very large library and it takes some time for all of the organising etc to finish.
    This was never an issue with previous versions of iTunes.
    Has anyone else had this problem? I have searched but can't find any mention on the Internet.
    I really don't want to listen to these tracks anymore!!!
    Deleting from the library does not stop this issue from occurring either.
    Many thanks
    Matt

  • How can I stop i-Tunes from splitting songs from a CD or file that is copied into i-Tunes? This is quite inconvenient to hadle my library.

    The separate grups of songs from same album add to the album contents. i-Tunes didn´t use to do this until when the format was "improved" a few months ago.
    No  good news. It is very difficult to manage and sync the albums, not the songs.

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
