after several years of taking photos(thousands) I seem to have many duplicate photos in iPhoto. How do find them all without going through 10,000 photos? they are mostly scanned photos that I have reused over the years not ones that I have recently uploaded from my camera.
Thanks whoever can help

Where are you seeing these duplicates? In the iPhoto window or in the Finder?

If deleting a note page from your note apps by mistake is there anyway to retrieve it without going through iTunes or icloud, is there a deleted bin that is installed where you could decide if you want to have it deleted for good or restored.

If deleting a note page from your note apps by mistake is there anyway of retreiving it without going through iTunes or iCloud. This is the new age of technology and there should be a deleted bin as in most computers or websites. There must be a way..

There is no undelete facility on the iPad, when you delete something then unless the app itself has an undelete option (which the built-in Notes app hasn't) then it is gone. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then you could try restoring to the backup, but you would need to restore the whole iPad, you can't just do a single app.

Hi, anyone know how to make a complaint without going through technical support or speaking to a senior sales advisor as i have an ongoing issue since February and still I am unable to get it resolved

I recently got a replacement iPhone 4s due to a fault occuring with the phone and the replacement 4s that I received is turning off serveral times throughout the day by itself, I have been speaking to customer relations and technical support since the start of February in relation to my complaint and I seem to be getting a major runaround and still hae not had my issue resolved, is there anwhere else or even an email I can send my complaint to without going through those departments as I find the staff to be very unhelpful and also rude and aparently there are not managers working in Ireland at all only in the US, as I was told by a senior advisor yesterday

For EUROEAN customers only, here is the e-mail address where to send the complaint, : [email protected]

On your iPad and iPod touch tap Settings > Store
Make sure Music is switched On under Automatic Downloads.
Now restart your iPad and your iPod touch.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
You can re download iTunes purchases for free if necessary > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

After downloading iOS 7 on my 4S I show 8,976 on my email icon. How can I eliminate them all without going one at a time?

Apple's official advice 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.
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 and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

HT3819 I have bought many songs and they are on a laptop that is not working at the moment. I've not got any of these on the laptop I'm currently using. How do I get access to those songs I've purchased on I-Tunes?

How do I access songs that I purchased on a laptopo that is not at the moment working to another authorised lap top that I am currently using?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer . Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
If for some reason you ahve failed to backup, not, good, then:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Suddenly the apps I downloaded won't work. The screen "blinks" for a second as if the app is loading, and then returns to the home screen. All the apps that came with the iPod seem to be working fine. How to get them all working again?

First try a hard reset. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If still no luck, try downloading another free app from the App Store.

Lastly, try to restore the iPod from a previous backup or restoring it to factory settings.

Have 3 Ipads how can I update all without download each time

I have 3 IPads one one computer how can I update all without downloading for each one ?

If they are the same model (iPad 1, iPad 2 wifi, iPad 2 CDMA, or ipad 2 GSM/sim) then for the second and third devices just press hold the shift key on windows, or the command key on a Mac, when clicking on the Check For Updates button in iTunes, and then navigate to the IPSW file - if they are different models then I believe that each model has a different update file.

Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening?

Photostream Issue - I have had several phones over the years all backing up via iCloud/Photostream. It seems that the oldest of my photos and videos are simply gone and I cannot seem to figure out how to get access to them. Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do to get them back? I'm freaked out by the thought that I am paying for what I thought was a safe place for my photos to be stored and accessed later but now see that there are nearly 500 pictures/videos gone from my photostream folder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. - Michael

Hi newmarket,
Photo Stream is not a respository for archiving photos. It is a cloud storage device that will store the last month or last 1000 photos taken by any device on the same Apple ID, and then will "share" those photos with all other devices that have Photo Stream turned on,and that are logged onto the same Apple ID.
iCloud backups will contain all of the photos that were on your camera roll the last time you backed up your device.
If you have photos outside of the Photo Stream parameters, and they are not all on your current camera roll, then you have no way to retrieve them unless you have imported them to the computer you sync with or have uploaded them to some other cloud service like DropBox.
Sorry,

Over the years and upgrading machines, I now have over 20k of emails in the import mailboxes within several folders. How can I archive these in way so the are still available, if necessary, to search, but don't load and slow down my mail app.

Ok Thank you.
I wont worry now.
Just maybe dig in deep and delete the deleted mails that are still around and that will hopefully clean it up a bit.
Many thanks for your help and advice.

How to use multiple iDevices with one computer

When uploading my email account it also uploaded over 6,000 emails that are on the aol server from over the years, how can I delete all but recent ones?

Unfortunately, there is no easy way. Delete just as you would any other message that you don't want. It's probably just as well that there is no universal deletion capability. I can see many of us committing a major "oops."

HT5361 I want to delete my Verizon email account but I don't want to lose all of the messages I saved over the years into various mailboxes that I created "On My Mac" in Apple Mail. Will they be erased / deleted when I delete the account?

I want to delete my Verizon email account but I don't want to lose all of the messages I saved over the years into various mailboxes that I created "On My Mac" in Apple Mail. Will they be erased / deleted when I delete the account?

Yes, it's a POP account. I kinda thought that the old messages would be safe in mailboxes "On My Mac," but since it's an irrevocable choice, I was reluctant to pull the trigger. However, the suggestion above from keg55 relieves my concerns on that score; I'll make a backup copy before I delete the account just to be on the safe side.
Thanks very much to both WZZZ and keg55, I really appreciate it!

HT1420 I have ITunes Sharing. We have enabled 5 computers but over the years 2 of them have gone bye-bye (crashed and burned). The current computer has been reformatted and I'm pretty much locked out of using "sharing" to retrieve the music that was on

I have ITunes sharing. We have already enabled 5 computers but over the years at least 2 of them are long gone no way to "deauthorize" them. This current computer has just been reformatted as it crashed and I am trying to get all of the music back but am told I am at the 5 home sharing limit. Anyone know how to deauthorize the old computers so I can have itunes on the primary computer?

Are any of the two remaining authorisations on a computer you have access to?
If so, I'd try doing a deauthorise all from one of the accessible computers, and then reauthorise the ones you still have access to.

Itunes has changed the way it stores files over the years and now i am having trouble figuring out which files are where so I can back them up

Hi
I have backed up itunes by copying my itunes file to an external hard drive. I try to keep my large media files (like TV shows) in a separate folder so that I can keep my hard drive on my macbook from filling up. Problem is, apple has changed the way Itunes is organized and backs up over the years. Now I am having a hard time keeping straight what is where. When I go to support, it has different instructions for the various versions of itunes. I am using version 10 now but it seems like I can't see all my files within the itunes music or media folder. I want to get everything in one place so that I can easily back up, regardless of which version of itunes I am running at the time.
I have selected to let itunes organize my files. It keeps all the files I have purchased in one place apparently, but items I have imported don't seem to always be there.
How can I best sort this out?

I have, but if I don't have that particular external hard drive connected when my time machine backup hard drive is connected, then I don't think it is all backed up together. It is getting too complicated to get out all this equipment every time I want to buy some music.

After several years of taking photos(thousands) I seem to have many duplicate photos in iPhoto. How do find them all without going through 10,000 photos? they are mostly scanned photos that I have reused over the years
