Can i automatically delete duplicates in one move

i had made lots of folders and backups all over my hard drives and i just imported the full thing into itunes onto a 500 gb hard drive. Now i have 75 Gb of duplicates, ( in view show duplicates )
can i remove duplicates in one click or do i have to check them one by one and delete them individually

YIPEE - I seem to have got it
but one question - i actually copied and pasted to the playlist at the bottom number 370, so i still dont know how to scroll up
and another observation - is this not a faster way -
(1) assume my entire library consists of 5000 songs, 1000 files are not there and 1000 are duplicates - that means i have 3000 songs.
(2) Now suppose i were to go to library highlight everything and drag to a playlist - i would get the answer - skip duplicates. And i observe that the non file songs are not included anyway.
(3 ) Now i have a playlist containing 3000 songs - i go to get info and flag all there 3000 siongs with 'aaaaa' in comments.
( 4 ) Then i open library again and just remove anything which does not contain aaaaa.
Is that ok ? Or can there be a problem ?

Can you automatically delete anchor points when a new image is placed on top - so that it 'replaces'

Hi all,
I know that I can delete anchor points but I was wondering if there is a shortcut to do it on a larger scale.
Can you automatically delete anchor points when a new image is placed on top - so that it 'replaces' the image, only on the parts obviously that you cover with the new one.
Thank you all

Hi,
I'm using CS6, and I have a tree vector image, and I am trying to put names on top, but when I do this to keep it clean with no anchor points (as my other software cant read it with all the points in it) I have to manually delete each one but it deletes the whole path and I then end up with a tree, names on top, and a big gappy circle around the names.
So really, I wanted to add the names on top, and have that delete all anchors underneath .
Does this make sense? :S

If you are seeing them in the finder then don't - you should never go into the iPhoto library using the finder

I have a similar problem. My point is my photos are not importing as duplicates, they are duplicating and moving from one album to another, sometimes bumping the contents of said folder to another location. I cannot find a logical explanation. I tried the trial version of Duplicate Annihilator, but that was a bust since it could locate only five (5) dups. Any suggestions? BRENDA Sfrom Charleston

Can I bulk delete duplicate pictures in Elements 11?

I imported about 2600 pictures from iPhoto to Elements 11 on my iMac OS 10.8.2. Now there are hundreds of duplicates; deleting one at a time is a real pain. Can I identify and bulk delete duplicates in Elements 11?

Yes you can select thumbnails in the Organizer and hit delete. Then choose also delete from hard disk.
If you want to use iPhoto it’s best to set up the Elements Editor application for external editing in iPhoto preferences. That will avoid duplication on your hd. See link for notes:

How do I automatically delete duplicates

Ihave many duplicates in my iTunes library. I recently ran a test and it appeared that there were 12gb worth. Is therethere a way that I can automatically delete them?

To delete the PL just select and delete.
Having duplicate PL does not mean that the files (tunes) were duplicated. A PL just creates a link to a tune - it does not create a duplicate file.
I would delete the duplicate PL then see what duplicate tunes I have.

How can I easily delete duplicate files in old Time Machine archives?

I have multiple older Time Machine archives from different Macs that I have been going through manually and picking files out and copying them to another drive file by file. I'm running into massive quantities of duplicate files and the biggest problem is muliple iphoto pictures including the same picture in different sizes.
I wanted to give up and just throw the whole Time Machine archive onto another disk so I could format the one it was on and use it for something else. But I got a message reading, "The backup can’t be copied because the backup volume doesn’t have ownership enabled." So I went to manually copy each "Macintosh HD" folder for each date into it's their own respective folders. It worked but required my password for each folder and each of the 19 folders were all ~75GB. Which is impossible because all of that data was on a 500GB drive.
What should I do? This has become a two month long nightmare.

I really don't know exactly, but since no one else has a answer I'll give it a shot.
I don't know much about TimeMachine at all, however I did assist someone that their TM was corrupted and they needed to salvage what they could off the drive, so I'll start with that.
There is software called Data Rescue and it's designed to read the 1's and 0's of any data on the drive, deleted or not, regardless of the file structure, and output the results to another drive.
TimeMachine tries to save space, so it uses what appears to be duplicate files, but contain no data as they are placemarks for files in later states that went unchanged from the previous states.
If Data Rescue has the option of recovering files independently of the file/folder structure this would result in all your files from the recoved TM drive being on all one level on the second drive.
From that second drive one could run software called DeCloner, which would flag the actual duplicate files of content, not just by name.
The next stage perhaps would be to eliminate files with no data, the placeholders, using the Finder "size" as a sorting option.
Saving all this remaining content to another drive to work on further, perhaps all the remaining image files can be seperated, sorted according to largest size, the largest ones (usually the ones you want to keep as they contain more quality) and opened into iPhoto or Aperture for further refinement as you add a small batches of smaller image sizes in to compare with the larger versions for duplicates/unwanted sizes.

Can you automate printing in Business One - I want to print two diffrent

I have 2 diffrent Layouts ( say for AR Invoice )
I want to automate - in any such way , so teh user clicks on button once ( print ) and the Invoice is printed with a copy each using the 2 diffrent layouts.
what are the possibilities ? does Business One ship with this ability, or do I need an add-on ?

Hi,
Unfortunatelly there is no object to handle this in DI and UI.
Atcivate the Automatic printing on the invoice (this will be the first type) which is default.
Then
When Document is Printed out you will be notified with the SBO_Application_PrintEvent.
When the printing was sucessfully, printeventInfo.BeforeAction = false and printeventInfo.ActionSuccess = true then you can :
1. Active the Menu ID 5895 -> Opening print layouts
2. Select the Second layout and default, close the window
3. Active the Print Menu (menu id 520)
It is not so Wonderful, but i think it is an easy solution.

Two app store accounts - can I just delete the other one?

I accidentally have two accounts. How to get rid of the other one - do I need the history data? Is it just purchase data?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID. If you have no content important to you from one of the Apple IDs, just abandon it. You can't delete an account, just stop using it.

I can't send deleted files from i movie to the trash and delete them.

I can't delete files. I bought a Lacie big quadra 4T and allmy project are saved there (mode raid1). When I’m trying to delete files theydoesn’t go to the trash bin but they are not longer in I movie. Apparently they are still in the hard drive using space.How can I delete them or send them to the trash bin of my Macbook Pro?

Okay I had the same problem but I figured it out. When you go to choose file, all the links are greyed out. Use two fingers simulatiously and click down on the file you want, then choose "quick look" from the option menu. This will open a preview of your document and make the open button usable. Close the preview, and then select the open button.
The site I was trying to use says it only supports IE, so maybe that is what causes the problem.
Hope it works for you!

If your a programmer you may be able to write a Photoshop script to do that. One may have been written. Do a web search for a Photoshop script for deleting layer comps.

Can you transform the color of one movie clip to another in as3

I have 2 identicle sun burst vector images, besides that one is an orange and red and the other 2 different shades of blue. I am building a website and on the home page i have the blue sun burst vector and one the about us page i have the orange and red vector. What I want to do is when the user clicks on the about us page i want the blue sunburst vector to transform (from the center) to the orange and red sunburst vector. to give the user the impression that the sky is changing from day to evening.
How do i go about doing this is it even possible?

There are a few ways you can approach this. One would be to use both and have one fade out such that other asppears below it, and vice versa such that one fades in atop the other.
