Why do I have multiple files?

I have 2 of each of these files:  iTunes preferences, iTunes library extras, iTunes library genius, iTunes library, iTunes Music library, sentinel and I have 2 folders that are named album artwork. I tried to delete one of each but then everything got deleted from itunes but good thing that I had the files so I got everything back. Why is it that I have more than one of these files and where should these files be located in? because I have the files in different places in the music library. Please help me...I really do not want to mess things up so I'm afraid to even touch these files.

I'm not aware of a way to run multiple instances or different versions of photoshop at the same time on windows.
Assuming of course they are all installed on the same operating system.
On mac versions you can running two different versions of photoshop at the same time, but i don't think that's possible on windows where it
appears that only one version of photoshop can run at a time.

  • Batch file rename.  I have multiple files I want to rename, that have a date in their name in the mm/dd/yy format. The slashes seem to freak out the batch rename function.  Any workarounds that would help me avoid manually changing each name?

    OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, Macbook Air,
    Finder batch file rename function. I have multiple files I want to rename, that have a date in their name in the mm/dd/yy format. The slashes seem to freak out the batch rename function and it won't work.  I took out the slashes and worked fine.  Any workarounds that would help me avoid manually changing each name?  I should point out that I want to leave most of the name intact just change the first word in each name.  Also the files I'm working with are in PDF format.

    That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

  • Why do I have multiple "birthdays" on Calendar only on my Iphone?

    Why do I have multiple "birthdays" on Calendar only on my iPhone?

    It is probably related to your calendar syncing with certain services and/or apps that end up duplicating the entries. Investigate your sync settings like iCloud, facebook, etc or apps like Cobook which can sync your contacts/to facebook and gmail contacts. The birthdays for all of those would then show up in ical. If there is some kind of redundancy happening it might even resync the same info from the same place multiple times. If you can zero in on a particular service or app that might be the cause, try temporarily unsyncing it to ical/address book and see what happens.

  • Why do i have multiple iPhoto libraries

    I am trying to migrate my iphoto library to a new location but i have 3 libraries to choose from. why were the others created? one library is 90gb, the other 2 are 22 gb
    Should i just delete the other 2?

    No way for anyone but you to know - you have multiple iPhoto libraries because you have created them - only you know when and why
    And only you know if they are ok to trash - depress teh option key, launch iPhoto and use the select library window to open and check each one and then desiece if you want to keep it or delete it

  • Why do I have multiple entries on my calender

    Why is that I have multiple entries on my calender of the same appointment or holiday since I started using I cloud.  How do I clean up my calender and not have future duplication on my devices.
    I am using the I pad 2 and Iphone 4S
    Thanks

    Click the calendars button in the top left corner of calendar, look to see if you have groups of calendars other than iCloud. I only have iCloud calendars on my phone so can't show you what I mean, but I have other groups on my iCal application on my mac which is sort of similar.

  • Why do I have multiple copies of Pages

    I should say that this is not specifically related to Pages, I have multiple copies of all the iWorks apps on my computer but because I could not find a general iWorks forum I decided just to post about Pages with the asumption that it would be the same for the other iWorks apps. 
    I have the pre-update iWork 09 version 4.5 that was installed from Disk when i first bought my Mac.  I have since upgraded my Mac to Mavericks and upgraded pages (and iWorks) to the new iCloud versions 5.2
    When I go into my Applications folder, I see a subfolder in there called iWork 09, and in that folder is the old 4.5 versions, but I also see the new versions of the apps as seperate apps in my Applications folder.
    See pictures
    Basically all I want to know is if I App Delete the old iWorks 09 versions, will it affect my access to the updated versions, because it seems to me like I have two sets of iWorks apps (one old and one new) and of course I only need the new one

    iWork 09's Pages is version 4.3. Yes you have to versions. They hare 2 different applications with the samme name. I wouldn't delete iWork 09 as it has about 100 more features than Pages has. But if you have it on a disk you can as you always have to possbility to install it again from the disk.

  • Why do I have multiple copies of the same song?

    When I open my iTunes on my iPad I have multiple copies of the same song.  It seems that when I connect and sync to my computer that it does not recognize that the song is already on my iPad, so it sends another copy.  When I try to delete the second copy from my iPad by swiping to the left and hitting delete, it doesn't delete and I see the cloud icon like it wants to down load if from the cloud automatically again.  How can I clean this mess up?

    Hi R_3S,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your Music application is showing your previously purchases music, with the cloud icon, on your iPad as well as what is synced onto it. Please follow the instructions in the following article to turn off Show All Music.
    iTunes Match - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6e2dfb83
    Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Why do I have XMP files in my iPhone pictures?

    I have been an iPhone user for the past 3+ years. When I connect my iPhone via USB to my Windows PC I can open Windows Explorer and see what files are on my iPhone. Starting this month, I started seeing .XMP files in my pictures for the first time. The files show no images and all are 1.24 K in size.
    Questions:
    1) What are these .XMP files?
    2) Why are they showing up on my iPhone all of a sudden?

    Hi Comstock2544,
    I had the same problem during the last year.
    According to some experts, .XMP are metadata files, something called "sidecar" files: they contains information about some of your pictures (e.g.: date of capture), and must be inthe same path of them to work properly (although probably useless on our pc).
    And... they aren't actually of Adobe: they are standardized widely.
    In our case, they are created by iOS when you crop and modify some pics with th iPhone tool. They serve to store information about your editing, without lose information from the original pictures.
    In facts, if you crop one of your pics and save it, when you come back to re-crop it, you can see that the rest of the image cropped is still there.
    A friend friend was able to delete them (I had 3) just deleting them, but I'm still unable to do that with the new ones. Anyway, you can just ignore tham and it'll be fine.
    P.S.: You can open them with the notepad to see what info they store.

  • When importing my address book from Outlook why do I have multiple entries for the same contact?

    I have an address book and it contains one list in Outlook. I just downloaded Thunderbird and imported my address book. The address book and one list imported very easily but there are anywhere from 3-5 entries for each person in my contacts. If I delete the extras they are removed from my list as well. Why are there multiple listings for each contact and how can I remove the duplicates without losing my list entries?

    as I was looking thru pictures in my finder I noticed there were several copies of the same pictures I had taken yesterday. I just went thru all Seven copies of the pictures (accidental pics of my hands and the desk etc) and right clicked and moved  them to trash, then I thought I'd look it up when I realized its not just these pics, but very many had een stored in groups of three or four.
    1. Why is that?
    Depends on where you saw them - If they were in the iPhoto library iPHoto has either two or three different versions (no duplicates) or each photos in its library - this is not optional and can not be changed  --  If they were not in the iPhoto library then you can do what you please with them and they have nothing to do with iPhoto - iPhoto is only involved with the photos in its library
    2. Why is it advised to NEVER make changes to the structure or contents of iPhoto in Finder?
    (as quoted Below)
    "I would suggest using one of the proven safe programs - if you are going to manually remove them be sure to remember that you NEVER make any chnages to the structure or contents of the iPhoto library using the finder - only make changes using iPhoto"
    Very simple - if you do you will destroy your iPhoto library and have to start over losing all work you have done in iPhoto - The iPHoto library is a SQLite database and there are NO user servicable parts in the iPhoto library and any changes made using teh finder will corrupt the database and cause dataloss
    Is that a good enopugh reason for you?
    So if these photos were in the iPhoto library when you
    I just went thru all Seven copies of the pictures (accidental pics of my hands and the desk etc) and right clicked and moved  them to trash,
    You destroyed your iPhoto library and will either have to restore your backup from before you did this. put everything back EXACTLY like it was before or start over

  • Why does CC have less file types than CS6?

    I have both DW CS6 and CC installed on my system.  Can anyone tell me why CS6 has more file types available from the "file/new" menu than CC has?  For example, CS6 has 18 "HTML" types, yet CC has only 2.  Also, CS6 has a "get more content" link on the dialog, whereas CC does not.
    Is there any way to get CC to have all of those file types available, or do I need to create the file in CS6 and then switch to CC for the rest of my work?

    If you want those starter files in Dreamweaver CC, it's very easy to copy them across. Go to the following location:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS6\configuration\BuiltIn\Layouts (Windows)
    /Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/configuration/BuiltIn/Layouts (Mac)
    Copy all the files except the first four, which begin with HTML5_
    Paste them into the following location:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC\configuration\BuiltIn\Layouts (Windows)
    /Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CC/configuration/BuiltIn/Layouts (Mac)
    You will need Administrator permission to do this.
    Once you have copied them, you will find them in your New Document dialog box. The names won't be fully spelled out, but they should be recognizable.

  • Why do I have multiple archives in mailbox

    Having upgraded to mountain lion I now have four "on my mac" folders in the archive folder.
    If I try to open any of the top three ones the bottom one always opens.

    Same problem.  Here's what it looks like.
    I did a manual transfer of the mail files from my Lion Partition to my Mountain Lion Partition. 
    To do so I placed
    folder Mail in User / Library /
    file com.apple.mail.plist in User / Library / Preferences
    before starting up Mail.
    On startup of Mail I got the Mail Upgrade Dialogue :
    After my existing Mail messages were upgraded through a series of progress bars I had the multiple "On My Macs" in the new "Archive" box.
    The bottom Archive Box is the controlled one.  Click on any of the expand triangles and it (alone) expands in the sidebar. 
    Also:
    Expand the "On My Mac" mailbox,
    Collapse the "Archive" box,
    Expand the "Archive" box
    ... and all "On My Macs" mailboxes are expanded.

  • Can I have multiple files on a single time capsule?

    On a time capsule, can partition different backups for different files, i.e. different computers.

    As Neil says, you can easily back up multiple Macs to the same Time Capsule, as long as it's large enough (see #1 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum). Each Mac's backups will be in a separate sparse bundle.
    If, as in your other post, any of those other computers are PCs, or even Macs using some other backup app, it gets complicated and messy, because of the way Time Machine backups will use all the space available, and the fact that, as Neil says, you cannot partition the internal HD.
    Your best bet in that case would be to attach a USB hard drive to the Time Capsule; you can partition it if necessary. Back-up one or more Macs to the TC's internal HD or USB drive; and the PC(s) to one or more separate partitions on the USB drive.
    See the Using TIME MACHINE with a TIME CAPSULE *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    As noted in #Q3 there, there is a rather cumbersome way to reserve space on the TC's internal HD for things like the PC backups by putting a +disk image+ on it, but connecting a USB drive will be much easier.

  • Why do I have multiple birthdays showing in iCal on my iPad using iOS 6?

    For some reason some of my birthdays are showing up as duplicates in my iCal on my iPad.  I have my calendars sync'd with Google Calendars and one of those calendars is my birthday callendar that I have setup in Google Canlendars.  Only some of the birthdays show up duplicated and others do not.  I can't seem to find any rhym or reason to why some are and some are not.  Anybody having the same problem or have a solution?

    The Calendar app pulls birthdays from the Contacts app.
    If you also have another Birthday calendar with the same birthdays, they will show up twice.

  • Why Do I have duplicates Files !?

    Hi Everyone
    I've messed up somewhere.
    I've just upgraded to Iphone 4S got Ipad and subscribed to Icloud, within the same week.
    Big Mistake!
    after trying to organize some files and synchronize my Idevices , my files are a mess !!
    1 - I have duplicates music files in the Iphone music Library
    2 - I have duplicates apps in Itunes application folder in my mac.
    This is probably partially due to the fact I moved the entire Itune folder to nother location ( needed disk space ) although I made sure to relink it via the
    Itunes / Preferences / Advanced.
    Can Anyone help me sort that mess out ?
    Thanks
    David

    ...This is probably partially due to the fact I moved the entire Itune folder to nother location ( needed disk space ) although I made sure to relink it via the
    Itunes / Preferences / Advanced.
    You're not supposed to do it that way...
    The way recommended by the support doc ht1449 is that you tell iTunes where you like your media stored from now on, then tell iTunes to consolidate all the media to that new location. Lastly you get to clean up the originals left behind on the source drive.
    The way that generally works best is to move the entire iTunes folder to a new location and then reconnect to it by holding down option (shift on Windows) to choose the library.
    Do the duplicate entries in your library work, or are some broken? Did you reimport the media folder after moving it?
    You should be able to find some useful tools for cleaning up over at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/ or there is this post which explains how to remove dupes by hand (and, less usefully for you, the genesis of a Window removal script).
