Any easy way to remove files copied to second drive on import that were later deleted from catalog?

If I do an import from my memory card, choose my external hard drive as a second location for the import, and then go into my catalog and delete the bad photos, is there any quick way to also remove those files from the backup on the external hard drive? I've got a ton of wasted space on my external HD due to things that I've deleted and don't know of any simple way to get rid of them short of formatting the drive and doing another export, which takes a long time and isn't something I want to do all that often. Thanks for your help.

I'm afraid there is no easy way to do that. The problem is that in using the "make second copy" option as your prime image backup, you're not using the function in quite the way the developers intended. Their purpose was to provide a method to take an immediate extra copy of the contents of the memory card, thus allowing you you reuse that memory card before your "regular" backup routine has been run. So yes, they have assumed that you would have a separate backup procedure for your image files, which allows for two things:
1. That separate backup process could use an incremental backup utility, which means after the very first run all subsequent runs would backup only new or changed files....and you could also set it to delete from the backup any files you cull from the Lightroom library. Thus your backup wouldn't take up any more space than your originals.
2. Once you've run the backup utility (after first cull so the duds never even get backed up?), the "second copy" can be deleted at your leisure.

Any easy way to remove floating ads after they appear (i.e., not preventing them)?

Generally ads on web pages don't bother me. So I don't feel strongly to use ad-blocking software to prevent any or all kinds of ads. But I do mind ads that float on web pages because they often block the view.
Although some floating ads allow the user to close them, more pop-ups, or other types of nuisance, may appear after they are closed.
So, Is there any easy way (an add-on, perhaps) to remove the floating ads after they appear, and prevent them from generating more ads or showing themselves again when the page is reloaded?
Maybe something like "CTRL + Alt + left click" applied on the floating ads?
I don't want to disable scripts and Flash.

There are add-ons that do this, but they haven't been updated in a long time, so they might have problems.

I bought some movies that were somehow deleted from my files can i download them again without a charge

can i re-download a movie without being charged again

No, films are currently a one-time only download. Have you not got a backup of them on, for example, an external drive that you can copy back onto your computer ? And have you checked that the films have actually been deleted from your computer, it's not just that the pointer to them in iTunes has been removed ?

How do i delete photos on my iphone that were previously deleted from itunes? cannot remove photos from iphone album. trash can is greyed out.

how do i delete photos on my iphone that have already been deleted from my windows laptop? The photos cannot be selected and removed from the iphone album. trash can is greyed out.

You should be able to delete the photos by syncing with iTunes. Either remove the checkmark beside "Sync Photos From" on the photos page of iTunes or change the selection of photos to be synced. Each time you sync it is supposed to set the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

How can I restore files that were accidentally deleted from iCloud drive?

I was making space to upgrade my iPad to the latest iOS 8 update, and while in settings>storage I mistakenly deleted Keynote presentations from iCloud rather than deleting Keynote and presentations temporarily from just the iPad itself. I'm desperate to get these back, but Time Machine is of no use when searching iCloud drive for previous files. Can anyone help??

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Library has been duplicated, duplicates have no file location. Easy way to remove?

Library has been duplicated, duplicates have no file location. Is there an easy way to remove them?
It's a royal ache going through each one, clicking to see if it will play, getting a 'cannot locate the file' message, delete, etc etc.
Showing duplicates just shows I have a lot to tidy up.
<Edited By Host>

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.

Is there any easy way to migrate painter reports from 4.7 Enterprise to 6.0

Dear All
We are being upgraded from 4.7 Enterprise to ECC 6.0 . The issue that we are facing is that company has more than 200 report painter reports ( on special ledger) and I was wondering if there is any easier way to migrate it to ECC than redoing the whole work. What I mean to say is that, is there any tool/program/tcode that we can use for copying/editing purpose of the reports in ECC 6.0 to be based on flex ledger.
Thanks

Hello
Why do you need to transport the reports? Upgrade to 6.0 should keep your
old reports from 4.7.
In any case transaction GR57 allows you to export them to local file in C:\ and GR58 will import them. I have tested between systems of different releases and
it worked correctly.

Easy way to remove a keyword from select images

Is there an easy way to remove a keyword?
I want to remove a single keyword from nearly 100 images that have multiple keywords. The single keyword I want to remove exists in other images that I don't want it removed from.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Create a keyword button set and then either use the menu option to remove that keyword or the shortcut key.

Is there an easy way to remove duplicates in my library?

Hi there, since I first started using my ipod, I've had a new laptop. Having finally figured out (with your help!) how to move the songs from my ipod to the library on my new laptop, I did the transfer but it's duplicated loads of the tracks.
Is there an easy way to remove them/stop that from happening?
Any suggestions? Ta Legs xxx

There are two ways - you can boot your old Mac in Target Mode (reboot your Mac, and as soon as you hear the startup chime hold down the T key on the keyboard until you see the yellow/orange Firewire logo on screen). You can then use a FireWire cable to connect your new mac to your old one. The old Mac hard drive will appear on your new Mac as if it is an external hard drive.
Details on Target Disk Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
If you don't have a firewire cable but you do have a home network (i.e. both computers can access the Internet at the same time), you can share the hard drive on your old Mac and then connect to it on your new Mac.
Good article on sharing your hard drive: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1549
Finally, if the above doesn't thrill you, you can hook an external drive to your old Mac, copy the mail folder over to it, then connect the external drive to your new Mac and copy it over. It's two steps, but if you don't have a firewire cable and aren't comfortable with sharing over a network it will work just as well - you just have to wait for the mail folder to copy twice instead of once.
If you get stuck post back!

Captivate 6 vid to Premiere Pro CS6 - any easy way?

Hi gang!
I just upgraded my eLearning Suite 2.5 to 6. I just don't see any easy way to transfer a video screen capture demo within Captivate 6 into Premiere Pro. Am I missing something?
I can't find even an AVI export.
What's the best way to take a simple 30 second screen capture "demo" from Captivate 6 into Pre Pro 6 and keep the current screen capture quality?
Thanks in advance!

You can download a fully functional demo of Sony Vegas 12 Pro. That's what I did. So far I like it and will be making the switch to Sony Vegas 12 Pro.
They also have Suite version which include HitFilm 2 Ulimate. This program is like After Effects. I haven't started playing with that yet.
Also, there is Movie Studio 12 Platinum Visual Effects Suite 2. That's a mouth full. Anyhow, it is based on Sony Vegas 12 and it comes with HitFilm 2 Express. The Express version is a stripped down version of HitFilm 2 Ulimate. The Express version is still a great program for adding effects. For some people Movie Studio 12 is all they will need,
Both version, Vegas and Movie Studio, have GPU acceleration which is really nice.
I also just picked up Corel PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate. It sells for $69.95 and it can open and save .PSD files. So I don't have to worry about all of the .PSD files I saved in Photoshop
Right now I have CS5 and CS6. Premiere CS6 has a lot of bug, the AVCHD spanning clips, slow motion that jitters, caching problem, slower exports, etc.

Any easy way to approve updates exactly equal to the old Server / WSUS

Hello,
Did you check the following link:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/508.how-to-move-wsus-from-one-server-to-another.aspxAlso i found out another site you could check:http://exchangeserverpro.com/how-to-move-wsus-30-to-a-new-server/

Hallo Experts,
We have a customer with an WSUS Server 2008 (not R2) that is crashing and cannot be migrated. The Server has also lot of file corruptions. There is also no backup from the Server.
The customer has about 62 Departments. Each department has self developed Software. All Security updates have been approved to all. But other updates that made problems are not approved to most of departments. If we will approve all updates one by one exactly equal to the old Server we will need many weeks. Is there any easy way to do this? I don’t think there is a way that we can export a file and import all approved updates to the new 2012 R2 Server?
Thank you for helping me,

Is there any easy way to compare LIKE Addresses from one table, which contains 3rd party data, to another table, our database source

We have a 3rd party that is supplying us data and we need to compare the addressing between the 3rd party data to our source database addressing. I'd like to make it somewhat flexible meaning I'd like to somehow use the LIKE comparison rather than comparing
the exact address values. (I have noticed that the 3rd party addressing sometime has a leading <space> at the beginning of the address...why I'd prefer to use LIKE)
Is there any easy way to do this? Or does this dictate using a CURSOR and processing through the CURSOR of 3rd party data and plugging in the address LIKE as dynamic SQL?
Please let me know your thoughts on this and I appreciate your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Yes, it's possible and there are a variety of options but it's may not be for the faint of heart.
The last time I did it, I ended up taking several passes at the data.
1st pass was a straight up comparison with no modifications or functions.
2nd pass was the same but with all special characters removed.
3rd pass involved splitting the numeric portion of address and comparing just the street numbers and used a double meta-phone function (kind of like a soundex on steroids) to compare the street names.
