A different duplicate problem?

I have a ton of duplicates in my library and when I delete either one, apparently a single source file is deleted because I no longer have the song.
This either happened following an upgrade or after recovery of a hard disc.
Any ideas or solutions? Thanks!

anyone?

Hi duplicate problem

Hi,
I have a very big duplicate problem.
I only have +- 1900 contacts but there are now 21500 contacts in my icloud contacts.
I tried to delete all but it does not work,
Then I tried to delete the folders
Then I sat here for almost one day trying to delete one by one, but when I restart my phone and lap top they are all back?
Can icloud support delete all the unnecessary ones perhaps please?
I live in Thailand; does support have an email address?
How does one actually contact them with future problems?

The following link has a section "Troubleshooting duplicates with iCloud Contacts" that may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3998
The main support page is https://www.apple.com/support/contact/ -- I suspect but cannot verify that will automatically direct you for your country.

Itunes duplicate problem

alright it seems that for some reason or another i have duplicates of every song i have. i have been going and deleted all of the ones with the explanation points but i have over 50gigs of songs and music... this will take a very long time is there any way to delete all the ones with the explanation mark to make my life a little easier? or what should i do can someone please help me?

It looks like the duplicates the mac is showing sometimes are showing multiple entries in iTunes for the same physical file, so If I delete the file, I'm deleting the only copy of the song.
When I use the delete button to delete a duplicate, it leaves the file in place and only deletes its entry in the playlist. If I delete its entry in the main library it still leaves it on the drive. I have to go and hunt down the files on the computer and move them to the trash. Are you sure its working differently for you? Sounds like we should swap "problems"!
I think this is due to the duplicate entries using the same file...
Yes.

Duplicate Problem in Playlists

Under my playlist section I don't have duplicate playlists, but folders. For instance, I have three 90's music folders, 3 audio book folders, 3 recently added, recently played folders etc. I've tried to delete them and leave just one like it's supposed to be but once I synced my Itouch, they came back again...
Also when I try to update Itunes, the new things to update are there 3 times too? Has anyone else had this problem and have an easy fix? Thanks in advance...

Holy Smokes:
I appreciate your detailed workaround post. My question is this: I use iTunes to keep everything organized (though I'm well aware of the shortcomings...) and can use the simple solution that Chris from CA posted, but I don't have room to consolidate everything. My read on consolidating is that you copy from wherever you have your music located (and right now my music is outside of the MyMusic/iTunes folder, as that backs up to my work server) and so you have to have enough room for all of your music to be copied (and then you delete it from its prior location). That's how Apple describes it in, e.g., http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748. I ain't go that kind of room. Is there any way to make the move to a completely different PC by following the simple option? From the posting I just linked it sounds like you MUST consolidate whether you use you iPod to move things or use an external drive.
Of course, I can use your workaround, but I thought I'd ask first. Many thanks.

Hi,
I'm on a mac 10.3 and have no intentions of upgrading. When I try to start some demo's I get a lot of different errors, all as far as I can tell related to the JRE. I installed everything from the apple website:

Opening epubs purchased from different stores (problem with B&N books)

I have an ereader from Borderes. And when I bought it, I purchased an ebook right away. So when I authorized Adobe Digital Editions on my computer, it automatically added that ebook to the library - not problems what so ever.
In the past though several times I bought books from B&N and was reading them on my laptop via Nook for PC.And even though all of my ebooks were purchased using the same email address, and it is the one I registered my Adobe ID with, I cannot open my B&N ebooks via ADE. I keep getting error that this document is licensed for a different user account.
So I am not sure if ADE can work only with books purchased from one seller or it is something to do with B&N books.
Unfortunately Borders has very poor selection of ebooks for my taste. It seems like the books I prefer are always available from either B&N or Amazon. Unfortunately Kindle books are in their own format that I won't be able to open on my eReader. But I was hoping that I could at least load B&N books.
I'd really appreciate any help with this as I've been fighting with ADE for several days now trying to open those B&N books.

Ok done thanks!...but this not resolve my problem...

Transferring, converting and duplicate problems.

Please please bare with me with my questions, and keep in mind I'm okay with computers but not an expert by any means.
I have been packing around an external hard drive for several years now with aprox 70gb of music and audio books.
I am on the road all summer and decided I just want all my audio with me instead of being in the mood for a certain genre of music and not having it with me.
So I have recently purchased the 160gb iPod.
I'm excited to get everything transferred over but I'm running into a few hair pulling problems.
A lot of my music on the hard drive was copied onto my computer years ago via windows media. So iTunes needs to convert these.. Which I think is working okay.. But I do get a lot of duplicates in my library. (Copies of the same song will either be lightly texted, and then solid black. They all appear to play. So I'll go through and delete say the lightly texted ones. (This happens if I choose the solid black ones too) I have them removed from iTunes but not perm from my computer...because im too scared of doing perm damage to my music library With not being 100% sure where these are perm removing it from.
HOWEVER, while I was doing this and thinking it was going along great, I started noticing it would delete my entire album I was working on! I was only deleted what I thought was duplicates and leaving a set of tracks in the album and the entire thing would disappear from my iTunes.
THis has also happened when I have deleted the "broken" tracks. The ones with ! Next to the song. I'll have the track fixed under it which plays, but once I delete the broken track, even the good track disappears.
i have several problems but this one is killing me. I have too much music and way to small of a hard drive on my pc to have it duplicating songs. And too much music to go back ripping the songs to Apple from the original cds.
Help!

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Another RMAN duplicate problem - RAC database to single instance

Hi,
I have a problem with the RMAN duplicate procedure and was hoping someone can help.
I would like to create a duplicate of our production RAC database on a separate, stand-alone, database server on another site. This duplicate will be used for intensive querying by another business unit who I don't want to have access to our production database.
My procedure goes like this:
1. Create a disk (not ASM) based backup of the datafiles and any archived redo logs:
"run {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup format '/u02/stage/df_t%t_s%s_p%p' database plus archivelog delete input;
release channel d1;
2. Tar and scp these files to the same location on the stand-alone database server.
3. In the meantime, work has been happening on the production database and further archived redo logs have been generated. I don't really care about these logs for the purposes of the duplicate however, I just want to duplicate to the point of the recent backup. To do this, I run the following SQL to determine the sequence number that I should be duplicating up to:
"select max(sequence#), thread# from v$archived_log where deleted='YES' group by thread#;"
4. Duplicate the production database to the stand-alone database (all the SQL Net stuff is working).
"run {
set until sequence (value returned by above SQL statement);
duplicate target database to XXX;
However, my problem arises because I don't know how to handle the fact that there are two threads. I understand that each thread relates to one of the RAC instances, I just don't know which one to specify for the duplicate. We have a database service which the client application connects through, and that service runs on on or other of the instances. Should I just care about the logs from the instance where the service is currently running?
Am I even approaching this is the correct way?
I look forward to any help that people may be able to offer.
Regards,
Phil

Hi Werner,
Thanks again for your help, there is still something wrong though. "list backup of archivelog all;" shows:

you can see that something is setting the recovery SCN to 569505448 which higher even then any of the archived logs mentioned above. If I select current_scn from the production database, this gives me 569528258 which is closer to the value which RMAN is expecting to recover to than any of the archived redo logs.
Can you think what might be causing RMAN to try to recover to this value? and why does it appear to be ignoring the SET UNTIL SEQUENCE command?
Cheers,
Phil

Serious about cleaning up my library, and i have this question on odd duplicate problem

Hi all, I am serious about cleaning up my library, and i have this question:
Is there such thing as a duplicate anymore in iTunes, and what happened to the View / Find duplicates feature? I could have sworn there was a built-in way... Anyway, In my media subdirectories, I have a hundreds of music album folders that have songtitlethesame 1.mp3, songtitlethesame 2, songtitlethesame 3, etc. where they are the same song (same timecode) but with different catalogue info, ie. album art, date added/modified, etc. What can I do about this?
I was surprised to find songGenieII and Powertunes does not have a "duplicate" remover... and it seems for the bucks spent, there should be
Cheers!

Duplicates are a mess and personally I do not feel any automated process can handle them correctly - there's too many different kinds of "duplicates" and often the only way to tell they are the same (or not) is to listen to them.
I use an old iTunes so I cannot tell you where they have moved the show duplicates things but I can pretty much guarantee they would not have removed it. Poke around a bit.

One Components into 2 different panel problems

Hi,
I have one component, just call it A, and 2 different
panels just call it PA and PB.
I put A into PA and then I put A into PB,
and display PA & PB into screen together.
The problem is A is missing in PA but displayed
into PB. I know this is behavior of AWT/Swing,
but maybe some of you know how to solve
this problem without creating two instances of A.
Thank you in advance...

You could make something like this:
public class multicomponent
     Vector activecomponents=new Vector
     //all methods you intend to use on this component this way
     public method(somearg arg)
           for //all c in vector
               c.method(arg);
      public void addto(Container co)
           comp=new yourcomponent();
           co.add(comp);
           activecomponents.add(comp);
}You can enhance that by using weak references for the elements in the vector and you will have to think what to do for get methods.

Duplicate Problems (RMAN is looking at the wrong backup)

We are running into a problem when we try to duplicate our database. Here is the process we use to duplicate:
delete old backup files (we only use RMAN for cloning so we don't need them)
set prod db environment variables<run rman
connect target sys/####;
backup database;
exit;
set test db environment variables<shutdown test database, rename test db folder (in case we missed getting something important out) create a new folder for test db.
start test db (nomount)
rman
connect target sys/####@PROD
connect auxiliary sys/####@TEST
run
allocate auxiliary channel disk1 type disk;
duplicate target database to TEST;
we get this error:
channel disk1: reading from backup piece E:\RMAN\PROD\BKUP_PROD_610891176_1
ORA-19870: error reading backup piece E:\RMAN\PROD\BKUP_PROD_610891176_1
ORA-19505: failed to identify file "E:\RMAN\PROD\BKUP_PROD_610891176_1"
ORA-27041: unable to open file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.
failover to previous backup
The backup file RMAN is trying to read is the backup from our previous clone. How can I tell RMAN to look at the backup we just made?
I've run "list backup;" and the most recent backup is shown there. We've run into this problem a couple of times now, but not everytime. I can't find any rhyme or reason for why it works or fails but the process is the same sometimes we can just wait a half-hour or an hour and it works. Anyone have any ideas that could help?
BTW - We aren't using a recovery catalog.

Duplicates problem in Illustrator CS5

I just bought and installed CS5 Production Premium on my iMac. When I started to use Illustrator, whenever I would try to move an object, it would duplicate it, instead of moving it. I tried sifting through preferences and setting, but couldn't seem to find anything. I am an intermediate user in Illustrator, and I have never encountered this before. I also tried installing the updates to version 15.0.2, but that didn't help. I even disconnected the keyboard in case it had a sticky key, but that didn't solve it either. It is difficult to do my design work when I can't move any object without duplicating it.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? I'd appreciate any help I can get on the subject.
Oh and I have the student version, but I don't think that should make much of a difference. Thanks!

For some reason I couldn't find those threads before, but I searched again and found them:

Dreamweaver resizing on different monitors problem

Hey;
First post, brand new to Dreamweaver, couldn't be more of a noob than me. Been making my first site and I've run into what must be a very common problem. The pages look different depending on which browser or monitor or resoution the viewer is using. I think I may have been able to avoid this by creating the pages in a "liquid layout" or at least that's what I heard. Can I go back and change the layout to "liquid" after the page is constructed or do I have to start over or is some other fix available?
I'm using Dreamweaver and Photoshop and I'm amazed I've gotten this far as they are both completely new to me. I'm running them on a fairly slow XP box.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

If this is your first web site in DW, I suggest you use a centered Fixed-width layout (pixels). It will move to center on wider displays and remain flush left on smaller displays. 900-1000px wide is a good average range.
1-column, fixed-width, centered layout
http://209.200.247.198/TEMPLATES/CSS2-1-column-fixed-width-centered.shtml
Liquid Layouts (%) and Elastic Layouts (Ems) require advanced understanding of CSS techiniques to work well in all browsers. Save those layouts for your 5th or 6th project.

Different UID problem

Dear friends,
I got a problem about java object serialization. the server resides in tomcat, sending the serialized object to the client which locates the same machine, using the same java version(1.5.02). the server side serialization code snippet is as following:
          //writting the binary data to a file to compare with client side
          try {
          FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(
          "/tmp/object.Server");
          ObjectOutputStream so = new ObjectOutputStream(fo);
          so.writeObject(objectxxx);

I run the same code to serialize the same object through tomcat(as a servlet) and eclipse, but I got different file(different size), the file size generated by tomcat is bigger than the size generated by eclipse. the most important of all, I can't use eclipse to read the object serialized into the file by tomcat, because the serialVersionUID is different. I guess maybe the locale or encoding is different? but I can't find any place to specify or setting encoding or locale.
any hint will be greatly apprieciated!

Not the locale or the encoding. If the serialVersionUID is different there is a different version of OracleCachedRowSet .class in Tomcat than there is in Eclipse. Make sure you have the same version of the Oracle JAR files everywhere.

Opening similiar files in different windows problems

When i opening an existing file in a new window or "desktop" (the ones you see when you press F3), i want them to open in the desktop window that i have selected. For example if i open for file in desktop one in will open there. Now if i wanted to open a different file in desktop 2 it automatically opens in desktop one because there where an existing word file is. I noticed the same problem for chrome as well. Is there any way to disable this? It becomes extremely annoying when i have certain windows open for certain projects.
Thanks

further clarification

so if i want to open a new word document in window 3 and the program is already open in window 1 it will automatically open the new word file in window 1. so if i am on window 3 it will drag me back to window 1 as the new file opens which is super annoying. i have a feeling this cant be disabled but just want to make sure.

A different duplicate problem?
