Duplicate files when Synching ?

I am getting file duplicates when I sync with 2 computers, MS Outlook does not dup but the I phone does

Nokia PC Suite 6.70.22 I kept deleting the duplicate entries whenever they appeared either in the phone or on Outlook. They gradually went away although some needed deleting over a few occaisions to stop the recurrence of the problem. Appears to have stopped altogether so I guess that's OK...? sorry for the delay in responding...been away. Les

Duplicate files when editing in Photoshop??

I was wondering if it was possible to avoid the duplicate files when I edit in Photoshop. For example: If I import three raw files into CS2 to blend, then save the blended file and import it back into Lightroom for further processing, I have to go and delete the other two duplicate PSD's ever time. This seems redundant..any suggestions or is this just how it goes? Thanks, Chip

That's how it goes.

Why duplicate files when importing

Why am I getting duplicate files when importing into iTunes? I am dragging and dropping them into iTunes. When I ask to find file in finder, I am sent to the iTunes music folder and there are 2 files for each song added. I don't have that kind of space!
I spent several hours trying to clean this up and deleted duplicates out of iTunes library, then out of the music folder. I tried to test which file of the song I was deleating (orig file, not file1) and now .... iTunes can't find about 3,500 tracks that will need to be reassociated. What is the easiest way to do that?
I'm not sure if this is another subject or not, but when I go to delete a track it does not show up in trash first. I only get one window asking me if I want to delete this - click yes and it's forever gone. Do not pass trash. YIKES. Is there a way to get it into trash -> then empty trash like everything else?
Thx.

Maybe I may have figured out part of my question ... these albums have a .mu3 file. Would that be causing the duplicates?

How do i avoid duplicate data when synching iphone and mac book to the cloud?

When I left my job for the last time I uploaded my Microsoft Outlook Contacts to the Cloud so that I could synch it with my Iphone (which I did). Now I would like to also synch the Address Book on my Macbook with the Cloud and my Iphone so I can integrated all of these contacts. First I do not know if I can do this since my MACbook is a few years old aand I do not see the Cloud Icon anywhere on it. Second of all I am not sure which area (Cloud, Iphone, or Macbook) take precedence when synching. Can I lose data? Does one systems dat over ride the other? How can I avoid duplicate data? I am a fairly new Mac user and love the way things are integrated so I think I should not worry but I need help. thanks, tdag55

Hi meadowD,
If you are looking to remove duplicate files from iTunes, you may find the following article useful (in the most recent versions of iTunes 11, the Display/Show Duplicate Items option has been moved to the View menu):

Attachment (Excel) creates duplicate file when opened

I have a user who is seeing duplicate files show up in the attachment window of an email after they open an excel file. It saves it as a "Modified copy". I have never seen thi sbefore and neither had she up until a few weeks ago.
Any ideas?
Dave Burek

If one opens an attached Office document and save this from the application (Excel) then one get the "Modified copy" as a new attachment.
This is a normal function.
If Ypou feel this as an error You have to look, why Excel saves the file.

Random duplicate events when synching with Google

Hi,
I have just set up iCal for the first time and asked it to synch with my Google Calendar. Somewhere between the two systems I have had hundreds of duplicate events set up. The problem seems to only occur on recurring events. The new events are sprinkled liberally all over my calendar with no hint of when the original even was set up for. For example one event occurs at least twice a week from January 1920 onwards, in my original calendar this was set up as an annual recurring event only last year.
When I try to delete the events I am told the request has failed with the following message:
The server responded with
“HTTP/1.1 500 Server error code: 4bf55f72”
to operation CalDAVDeleteEntityQueueableOperation.
Also I frequently find the synching circle is running round and iCal just stops working i.e. can't enter new events or check my calendar.
Any advice gratefully received!
Jane

Hi Jane,
You are getting errors from the Google Server. This suggests there are issues with the data contained within Google and not in iCal so there may not be much we can do from here. I would be curious to know if you go to one of those recurring events on Google, does it have an end date or does it go on forever? Does it have a start date that is odd (you mention 1920...are you sure that you don't see a very early start date on Google.com?)
That said lets try some basics:
What version of the Mac OS are you running on your computer (Apple Menu > About this Mac)?
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

Damaged music files when synched with Ipod

Hi
I have a Mac Book Pro, and an 80GB Ipod Video. When I synch between Ipod and Itunes, some of the music tracks get damaged. Parts of the songs dont play properly for a few seconds then revert back to normal. I assume this is when it is being written to the Ipod disc, but how do I ensure seemless transfer?
thx

OK,
After hours of working on this I beleive I have figured out how the iPod organizes photos if your a syncing it with a windows directory.
The iPod uses the order in which the opertating system stores the photos in the file directory. What this means is renaming the files has no impact.
However, if you rename them in the order you want them, then do a select All, which is normally control-A, then drag them to a new folder, the operating system will then copy them by their alphabetic name into the new folder (You may have to be view the original folder sorted by name.)
Now in this new folder the operating system has stored them in the file system in the same order as they were named.
Now set the iPod photo sync directory to this directory and it should work.
Here is a second tip. There is an awesome shareware utility called irfanview www.irfanview.com This utility will allow you to rename an entire group of files with, for example, the date the pictures were shot.
After renaming, do a select all and copy to a new directory. Then link the iPod to this new directory and you will have the photos on your iPod in the order they were shot.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF APPLE JUST TOLD US THIS!

Tasks re-sorting in the MPP file when synching with SharePoint task list

When synchronizing the MPP file with the ShPt task list, we have seen tasks re-sorting in the MPP file. Very annoying, especially with schedules with a large number of tasks. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this issue, and if you
could point me in the right direction for solving it. FYI, listing below my signature the columns we are synchronizing (in case you know of an issue with one or more of these).
FYI, we are using MS Project 2013 Pro and SharePoint 2010. We tried using the synch feature with MSP 2010 and it did not seem to be available.
Greatly appreciate your help on this topic. Sincerely,
Michael.

Hi,
The resource is created as a new resource with no security group and no loggin account, meaning it is strictly a resource and not a user. So this resource can be assigned on others projects but cannot connect to PS in any way (thus does not consume a CAL)
unless you convert it into a user by adding a valid account and a security group.
Hope this helps,

Mac Illustrator CS4 creating duplicate files when saving

Hi! All of a sudden, when I save illustrator eps files... I'm getting two files.... file.eps and file-01.eps. They are identical. How can I turn this feature off? I'm not sure how I turned it on! Thanks!

Exporting Versions: avoid duplicate files when using external editor?

I've got an Aperture Library containing TIFF masters. Some of the files have been edited via built-in Aperture tools; others have been edited using an external editor (PhotoShop). I want to do a batch export of all the Versions as scaled-down JPEG. If I select all the files in the library and export, everything works as expected, but there is one nuisance: every file that has been edited externally is exported twice.
For example, consider a file named "MyFile-1.tiff", which exists in the library in the original version and the edited version, with the same filename. The export writes two files:
MyFile-1.jpg (the original version)
MyFile-1 (001).jpg (the Photoshopped version)
I only want and need the edited version. So "MyFile-1.jpg" is extraneous and needs to be deleted, and "MyFile-1 (001).jpg" needs to be renamed.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening without manually deselecting all of the individual version files I don't want to export? I don't see any setting or smart album feature that would say "when you find a file that has been edited externally, export only the externally edited version".
It's not a big deal for me to use batch file renaming to clean up the exported files, but it is one more step in the workflow that I'd rather avoid.

Do the original versions of the externally edit images have Aperture adjustments applied? And if so would you then want both of the images exported?
If the answer to the first question is no or the answer to the second is yes then this should work:

Duplicate "files" when mouting disk images

Hi,
When mouting a DMG i notice that every file in the window is duplicated. This should not be possible since 2 files cannot have the same name in a directory.
Anyone else noticed this?
Thanks

I should add that I've tried using the "Repair" and "Verify" functions of Disk Utility on the volumes, and despite the obvious issues that exist in them, the utility doesn't find (or fix) any inconsistencies.
Are you repairing/verifying the actual disk images, or just the partition they're on? If the partition, it won't look inside them.
Drag one to Disk Utility's sidebar, select it, then use Verify or Repair. Note: the usual messages may not appear on the DU window. Click the Log icon in the toolbar or select Window > Show Log from the menubar to see them.

Stopping duplicate files when converting to lossless

Subject says it all.

When you convert a file iTunes always stores it in the iTunes Music folder as set in Edit Preferences>>Advanced>>General. Even if the original is not in the designated iTunes Music folder.
In some ways it would be easier to manage what you want to do with the smart playlist approach and only have one library.
Are you trying to create separate libraries each with their own iTunes Music folder? If so one approach (I am not certain it is the best) would be to create your separate library with it's own iTunes Music folder (call it Music folder 2). Then add the other iTunes Music folder ( call it Music folder1). Then do the conversion and the converted files will end up in Music folder2, leaving the originals in Music folder1.
With iTunes Closed, drag iTunes Library.itl from the iTunes folder of library2 ( one with the converted files).
Now open Library2 and an empty library will be created. Now you can add your iTunes Music folder (Music folder2) with File>>Add folder to library.
You should end up with the second library just containing converted files and the original one intact.
All a bit of a fiddle.

Duplicate File Finder

Wondering if anyone knows of a good software application (and has some experience using it) that finds duplicate files on my computer, and/or any of my network drives and other computers on the network. I'm hoping I can find something that will search all my drives and find all the files by the same name and size, or even duplicate files when some may have been renamed. I've googled it, and found some Windows utilities that claim to do this, but see nothing for the Mac. Any suggestions will be appreciated. I have an iMac, a Macbook and a Windows (Vista) computer on my wireless network, using a 1TB Time Capsule with 2 Lacie 500GB HDDs attached to it. Thanks in advance.

At the moment I will suggest "Spring Cleaning" v.10 from Smith Micro http://www.smithmicro.com/default.tpl?group=product_full&sku=SCM10XX
It will find all the duplicate files, even the ones that were renamed.
I use this program also to find and remove all my empty folders.
Very handy for consolidating all your backup files and archives. Batch file renaming is also supported and much more other power features.
If there are any other similar tools out there please post it here.

I started to get duplicate files each time I use iPhoto browser, it used to be only on videos, now, on every picture I import from iPhoto.

I use iPhoto to I import my pictures from my iPhone or iPad. Only because of the ability to remove at once all the imported ones from the iPhone/iPad.
Each time I use the iPhoto browser in the import process.
Each time, I get a duplicate file when import videos. Two files, stacked. Now, I started to get the same on each picture. Two pictures, of each one imported from iPhoto.
I never edit them from iPhoto. The pictures or videos, just go from the iPhone, to iPhoto, to aperture. Never touched or edited.
Why, a I getting twice the pictures when they come to aperture?
I'm not an expert, I could use some help. My concern is that THIS DID NOT HAPPENED BEFORE, only on videos, now, it is for everything.
If someone can help, I would be very grateful.

Hello,
You can think of the shift registers almost as local variables. They are used to store information from the previous iteration of the loop to the current iteration. In the example that srikrishnaNF posted, he has basicalyl implemented a state machine architecture to control the different options. Once the file path it set, it is saved for the next loop iterations within a shift register until it is updated with a new path. The first case structure determine whether you want to write to a file or not. The second case structure determine whether the user needs to be prompted for a new file path, or whether it is still writing to the same file. This is indicated by looking at the true and 1 case. Here, the user wants to write to a file and the file path has been selected in the true and 0 case. In the true and 0 case, the user has selected a file, the 0 has been changed to a 1, and you then enter the true and 1 case. In this case, the value is kept at 1 meaning that the user will not be prompted for a new file path as long as the write to file button remains true. Once the write to file button switched, you will enter the false case. This case resets the 1 to a 0 and will cause the user to enter the true and 0 case when the write to file button is clicked again.

Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache from the nominated folder that you have set up to sync photos to the devices.
