Duplicate library on iPad

I just synced my iPad today for the first time. As I was in the the iPod app I noticed that some of the libraries were duplicated. I have 4 copies of each library on the iPad. Its not a big deal but is there a way to fix this?

I have checked, they are copies of the same playlist. I've tried syncing with iTunes and changing the playlists that are syncing but it doesn't help. Like I said before it's not a real big deal but it would be nice to just have one of the same playlist.
Now I don't like you any more. I just checked my playlist, and I have random duplicates of about half of my songs. Well, I'll have to figure this out.

    How do I change the iTunes library my iPad is synced to?

    My recommendation would be to set this up as a brand new iPhone, just as if it came out of the box.
    Do that in Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
    You will then be directed to the welcome to iPhone screen, just as you would with a brand new device.

    You need a third party app in order to do that. Here is one app that will do it.

  • Creating a duplicate library in a different audio format (MP3)

    My iTunes library is in Apple Lossless format, but as that takes up a fair amount of storage space, I can't store as many songs as I'd like on my iPod. Therefore, I'd like to create a mirror library in MP3 format.
    I'm trying to determine the easiest way to do that. The not-so-easy way seems to be to duplicate the entire library, then in the duplicate library, use the Advanced/Convert Selection to... command to convert to MP3, then delete all the Lossless songs from that library (doing the conversion in the original library and having two versions of every song would seem confusing when you want to play stuff). My library is currently stored on an external drive, which works fine.
    Am I crazy, is there a more straightforward way to do this? Is it possible to export the actual song files while converting them at the same time?
    Thanks.

    There is a way to sort your library by recording type. In the main iTunes window, right click (control/click) on the column headings, then select "Kind", then click on the Kind column to sort by recording type.
    Still, wish somebody would answer our question!

  • Duplicate library within Aperture 3

    I'm a novice user whose not gonna know all the relevant information the knowledgeable and helpful folks will need to thoroughly answer my question, but here's the best I can do.  Perhaps with specific questions, I'll be able to provide more information.
    The problem:  Aperture contains two librarys:  (1) iphoto Library and (2) Project Library.  Project Library is larger and all projects and photos within the iphoto Library are duplicates of projects and photos within the Project Library.
    Solution I'm working towards:  eliminate the duplicate iphoto Lilbrary.
    Facts:  I do not know how Aperture was initially set up and how the iphoto Library was imported into Aperture, as hubby did that quite some time ago.  My masters are now referenced on an external drive.  My husband and I both tried to figure out how to properly do this and I just noticed that there were two duplicate folders on our external drive.  I effectively housed the masters in a folder on the external called "Aperture Masters."  I just attempted to send to trash the two duplicate folders:  one named "iphoto library" and the other named "TSP photos."  I left the folders in the trash and have not emptied them from the trash.
    After I sent these duplicate folders from the external drive to the trash, I opened Aperture again, and the duplicate iphoto Library is still there.  However, the icon that shows that it's a referenced file now has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark on it.  When I click "locate master," it shows me the external drive and the path to the photo I had selected in the iphoto library within Aperture is in red (indicating there's a problem with it).  I located the same photo within the Project Library and there is no yellow triangle with exclamation mark on it on the referenced icon and when I click locate master, I can do so without the path showing in red.
    Question:  Is the final step simply to empty the Trash and then the duplicate library will be gone?  Is there anything else with which I need to be concerned to properly eliminate the duplicate library?
    Thank you for your time in answering!

    One thing to remember is that Aperture does not contain libraries. Aperture libraries are the places where your images are stored to be accessed by the Aperture application. You can have multiple libraries on your system at any one time but only one copy of Aperture the application.
    So if I am understanding your situation: You have two Aperture libraries one named iPhoto and one named Project. The Project library contains everything that is in the Aperture library named iPhoto (bad choice of names BTW as it is easy to get confused with iPhoto itself) plus more.
    The two libraries do not share any masters.
    You now want to delete the Aperture library named iPhoto. You moved referenced masters that this library was referencing to the trash.
    This is what I would do: Open the Project library, go to the Photos icon in the Library tab of the Inspector. Make sure the search box says Showing All, select all the images and open the filter HUD and filter for missing images like so:
    If the browser is empty then all the images in this library are accounted for and you can empty the trash and delete the Aperture library named iPhoto. If anything shows up then you need to figure out what's going on before you delete anything.
    good lick.

  • How to add my video library to iPad g3 from MacBook Pro?

    How to add my video library to iPad g3 from MacBook Pro?

    What sort of videos are they, and what app do you want to sync them to ? If they were taken with your camera and they are in a format supported by the iPad, then you could sync them to the Photos app - with the iPad connected and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, you can use the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to sync photos and videos (there is an 'include videos' tickbox on that tab) to the Photos app.
    Or you can sync them to the Videos app. If you can add them to your iTunes library (File > Add To Library) you can then use Movies tab (instead of the Photos tab) to sync them to the Videos app. If you can add them to your library but they don't sync over because they aren't in a supported format then try doing Advanced > Create iPad Version and then try syncing those versions.

  • Duplicate /library/ made by mistake

    I need some help. My 70+ year old mom called in a panic, as it seems she has created a duplicate /library/ folder. Since this has happened she can log into her account (she has admin permissions), but can not connect to the internet, email or anything else. I am guessing that since there are two /library/ folders it can't locate items to run these. I am 200 miles away trying to troubleshoot for her. What can I do, short of reinstalling the OS? Any suggestions would be great.
    Her system: iMac G5 intel, OS 10.4.11
    Appreciate your help in advance.

    you may have missed diagnosed the problem. Not being able to do e-mail is a symptom of a bad ~/Library because this is where Mac OS saves your mail.
    What she mean by not being able to do Internet? I would think you could do Internet but no bookmarks.
    Nor would your desktop look the same. Perhaps she is saying she cannot Find the internet browser. This would be a symptom of the a bad user library. It is possible for the user to rename their library folder. It is not possible for the administrator to rename the System Library folder from the GUI interface without some clever use of the getinfo command. Just because your administrator does not mean you can go and change system files without doing some administrator type things. The administrator does not own system files. The system owns system files.
    Is so, there is /Library and ~/Library. Which one was change? ~/Library is the more likely. For example, /Users/mac/Library
    you will note ~ means the current users directory path. For example. /Users/mac
    There is a mistake with these commands.
    The commands are missing a sudo and there is the matter of the /.
    There is also the matter of two library folders. There is one library folder /Library and there is a another library folder in the user's account /Users/mac/Library. Which one are we talking about?
    But my reading of the problem was that it was the user's Library account. If it was the system's library account that is another problem, which I was not addressing. I don't think the system would run at all if it was this one however.
    And you need to make any changes to /Library from a single user mode.
    You need to get into single use mode for steps one and two that are listed below.
    This page will tell you how to get into single user mode.
    http://www.securemac.com/macosxsingleuser.php
    Basically, you hold down the command-s key then powering on your machine. The command key has a little apple symbol on the lower left. It is between the alt/option key and the space bar. On a PC keyboard, it will be the windows key, I think.
    1) You can change the password on an account. ( Do you know Unix. You are in a Unix single user console. ) The setup commands you need should be listed on the screen. For Mac OS 10.4.11, the commands are:
    # Type the follow two instructions to accessing the startup disk in read/write:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    cd /
    pwd
    ls -lF L*
    mv -i Library Library_new
    mv -i "Library 1" Library
    This commands are for a user account...
    run these commands from an administrator account that is not the problem account.
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
    cd /var/root
    pwd
    sudo ls -lF L*
    sudo mv -i Library Library_new
    sudo mv -i "Library 1" Library
    It is a good that people are reviewing these commands. It is easy to make a mistake.
    Than here is what these commands maybe:
    cd is change directory
    pwd is a print working directory
    ls is list
    sudo is Super user do
    mv is move
    for cryptic comments you can always uses the manual command which is man. for example:
    man mv

  • When I imported from IPhoto to Aperture did I create a duplicate library?

    Background:
    I am new to Mac and all its applications having moved from a crashed PC and Picassa to an IMAC and Aperture. I got the machine in December of 2011 and all applicatiopns and the OS are up to date.
    Apple store ported over all my files and the pics went to IPhoto. As soon as I got home with no knowledge and my brand new machine I downloaded Aperture.
    I assume I was prompted by Aperture to import all my Iphotos but I don't remember how this was done. Since I am so ignorant about Macs I assume that I didn't do anything other than follow the prompts. My 1TB drive is almost full and I was surfing for solutions when I found a post about duplicate libraries.
    Questions:
    1 Not knowing how I got to where I am, how do I determine if I have seperate Libraries? I assumed thet both IPhoto and Aperture shared the same Library but I think that is a wrong assumption.
    2 What is the procedure for deleting the Iphoto Library if I do have a duplicate Library?
    3 I have a gazillion pics in the trash due to multiple imports. I assumed that I was only moving pointers to the trash and that all these duplications were not true duplicates, I now think that this is a wrong assumption. If these are indeed duplicates then dumping trash will free up a lot of space ?
    4 Is there any way to globally eliminate all duplicates?

    Blayne,
    before you do any restructuring of your libraries, I would recommend to update your software (MacOS X, Aperture, and iPhoto) to the latest versions. Lauch the AppStore to see, if any updates are waiting. There have been some important bugfixes in the past month.
    Also make sure you have a current and working backup of all your libraries.
    assume I was prompted by Aperture to import all my Iphotos but I don't remember how this was done. Since I am so ignorant about Macs I assume that I didn't do anything other than follow the prompts.
    There are essentially three different ways to import an iPhoto library to Aperture. It will depend on the Import settings you choose, where your images are stored:
    When you import the iPhoto library using: " File > Import > iPhoto Library" you will see an Import Panel like this:
    If you selected  Store Files "In the Aperture Library", then all your images from iPhoto are now duplicated in the Aperture Library package, and you can safely delete your iPhoto Library after backing it up.
    If you selected  Store Files "In their current location", then the master image files of your Aperture images are still in their original location - in the iPhoto Library - and you must not delete the iPhoto Library.
    If you selected  Store Files "Choose", and selected a folder, then your master image files are currently in some folder outside the Aperture library, but not in the iPhoto Library.
    Since you do not remember, what your settings were, I think it would be the safest, to consolidate all your images into the Aperture library, whereever they are now. This will give you a tidy starting point for your future work. To consolidate:
    Select the "Photos" View in the Library Inspector panel, and select all your images in the browser.
    Then select "File > Consolidate Masters" from the main Aperture menu bar.
    This will move all master image files into the Aperture library. Compare the size of your Aperture library before and after. Then you can delete the iPhoto library.
    I have a gazillion pics in the trash due to multiple imports. I assumed that I was only moving pointers to the trash and that all these duplications were not true duplicates, I now think that this is a wrong assumption. If these are indeed duplicates then dumping trash will free up a lot of space ?
    After consolidating you can empty the Aperture Trash. Thedisk space will only be freed, after you empty the trash on your Desktop as well.

    P.S: Post back, if you have more questions.

  • Share iphoto'13 library to ipad or iphone

    Hello, I would like to know if it was possible to share iphoto'13 library to ipad or iphone, and which apps to do it?s

    You can't do with photos the same way you can with music. The only way you can share those photos with your iPad and not have to upload those photos to the iPad is to create Shared Photo Streams from iPhoto on your Mac. 
    Each shared PS can hold up to 5000 photos.  You can have up to 100 shared streams.
    See this Apple document for further details: iCloud: My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing limits.

    To read on the iMac you need Mavericks...if you have Mavericks, the library for iBooks is available to both devices...open iBooks on the iMac and go to the Library.  Of course that does want to see an iCloud account, forgot to say that.

  • 7th gen nano syncs only certain songs, not my full library.  Ipad and old nano sync fine.  How do I get 500 songs v. 63?

    7th gen nano syncs only certain songs, not my full library.  Ipad and old nano sync fine.  How do I get 500 songs v. 63?

    **1. Separate these out first without deleting anything from i tunes libary?**
    iTunes:
    Set up 2 iTunes playlist, one for songs & the other for talking books.
    **2. Then simply transfer my 500 odd tracks of music to my new nano?**
    Connect new iPod to computer & set it to manually sync.
    Move your music playlist to Devices. Music will sync to your new iPod.
    *3. Once all this done, delete songs (only) from the old nano just leaving my talking books?
    Connect old nano to computer.
    Under Devices-Music: Start deleting all the songs including any song headings you have in the left column under Music. This will delete from the iPod yet leave your iTunes library intact.
    Read the iPod nano (5th generation) - User Guide for other suggestions.

  • Anyone got this problem solved? Duplicate titles on iPad's iPod?

    Dear All,
    Hope all reading are well! My problem seems to clear itself up - by itself -sometimes....
    Problem is after syncing up then disconnecting iPad, duplicates of songs are seen. You know on the display of the iPod's usual display of your tunes.
    Sometimes after resyncing the dupes go away or more are duplicated of different tunes!
    Apple Support does not offer any advise. Please comment. These dupes bother me.
    Thank you for your time and advice.
    Sincerely,
    MacOwner

    Dear OrangeMarlin,
    Much thanks in your reply. I must be more correct in describing my problem. I get these dupes but have no duplicates of anykind in my iTunes library. This is what is confusing me. The duplicated titles are right after one another and will play consecutively if I permit them.
    I was talked through (by Apple Support) on finding duplicated songs but this did not solve anything because there were no duplicated songs/tunes in the library.
    Thanks again for your input!
    Much appreciated!
    Sincerely,
    MacOwner
