Duplicate songs all over the place!

Ok, first let me give you the layout.
16 GB iPod Nano
Dell Inspiron E1505 with Vista Home Premium
Linksys WR310N (GigE switch)
Sony Vaio running Windows Server 2003
I have ALL of my music located on a shared partition on my Windows 2003 server. I have mapped a network drive (M) to a folder containing all my organized music on this server. Organized meaning.........root folders are Genres (Rock, Pop, Country, Contemporary Chistian, i.e.), with Artist / Band folders under the Genres folders. And under the Artist / Band folders, are the album (yes, old school) names with songs under there. Make sense?? ok. Moving on.
I have uninstalled iTunes numerous times in an effort to consolidate and prevent duplicate songs / albums / artists from showing up in my Music list as well as on my iPod.
In order to put music in my Library > Music folder, I have to Add Folder to Library from the File Menu in iTunes. Not only does this take FOREVER since iTunes has to determine each song, then determine some gapless info, but it hasn't even moved anything yet.
Once it is done, I am able to move music to my playlists, and sync. Syncing takes an eternity as well since it is copying all the mp3's to my iPod.
Now in order to remove OR add music to my iPod, this whole adventure has to be repeated, and then duplicates start appearing in my Library > Music folder.
I have verified several albums NOT to be duplicate on my share, but they show up numerous times in my Library! Why is this??? This means I have to go thru thousands of songs to determine which ones are duplicates in an effort to NOT put the songs on my iPod twice.
Why is it that I am not able to view my iPod as a piece of "disk" LIKE IT IS! This is nothing more than a glorified thumb drive with a small OS. I should be able to use Winders Explorer to remove and/or add music with a drag / drop option. Why is that I have to SYNC this thing ever time I want to take 5 songs off, and add 2. This should be a 5 second ordeal, not 2 hours!!!
Now that being sad, is there an easier way to do this??? Is there something I am missing............or not doing correctly?? I used to use an app called Anapod with my older iPod, but they seem to have went 'under'.........as their URL is no longer active. Sad thing..............cuz that app was the BEST!
Plz advise............Thanks

How to get rid of duplicate addresses all over the place?

Duplicate addresses appears all over the places: on my mac (in the mail program) and in my ios devices.

Music library after data recovery - ID3 tags all over the place

Hi,
For a short time there i was using my external drive as my music library, while i sorted enough space ot run it from C:
However, that didn't last long and i was asked if i wanted to reformat the drive.
Using Easeus I was able to recover the mp3s. But they're all over the place i.e songs labelled as one thing will be something else, about 70% of the time. Also some songs randomly chnage to others.
Is there any method i can use to resolve any of this, without re-doing my entire collection?
thanks for any suggestions
matt

The best option is to recover from backup, but I guess you don't have one. You can also recover from an iPod if you have one:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9990366#9990366
Failing that, are you certain that the tags are wrong in the actual files, the tags are part of the file, so I am surprised if they were changed if you were able to recover the files successfully. It is hard to see how they could be messed up if the file is OK unless something else messed with them.
I am afraid you have a lot of work ahead of you. You might be able to use a tag editor to get tags from the internet - MP3 tag is an example, but I think the tracks need to be arranged into CDs for this to work.
There is also something called PicardTagger which is supposed to use the audio footprint of the file to identify it, but I have no experience with it myself.

My fonts are all over the place, how do I get them back?

Recently some of pages I view in Firefox have the text scattered all over the place and makes them impossible to understand. How do I get them back to normal? I am using a 2 x 2.8Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon Mac, 12GB RAM running OSX 10.9.5 and Firefox 37.0.1. I have attached a screen shot of my Facebook Page to try and help explain my dilemma. Regards, Mal

Import speed all over the place

Hi there, first time poster here.
I'm trying to import some Christmas CDs into iTunes. I've not used it for several months for a variety of reasons. When I import the CD, the speed is all over the place but typically at a ridiculous 0.1x!! It's ranged from 12.0x on down. It took many hours just to copy one CD (10 songs - average length).
I don't have a huge library of music. I have plenty of room on my laptop (Asus with Vista) and I've never had this problem with iTunes before on the same computer. If anything, the computer is running better now as I ran disk clean up, defrag, and dumped a bunch of stuff off it (nothing software related).
Thoughts?

Just to add my IP profile since getting infinity 2 has always been 77MB down 20MB up.
PLEASE HELP

HT1926 I was prompted to install iTunes 11.1.4 this morning. It failed (first time EVER) with the comment that 'msvcr80.dll' was not available. Upon searching for that .dll in my computer, I found it to be all over the place! Thoughts?

I've NEVER had a version update fail. I did go to 'Tools' and download for a manual install of this update as the info screen suggested. It, too, failed. After searching for the 'missing' msvcr80.dll on my computer, I found it all over the place!
Ran a malware & virus scan with nothing evil popping up.
Tried going back to a restore point before a previous update and doing the install. It failed.
OS: Vista Home Premium x64, SP2 (and current with all MS updates)
Now I'm pretty nervous re: syncing with ANYTHING-especially my iPod that has all my music I teach from at work.

Solving the iTunes Installation Problems in Windows
1. Apple has posted their solution here: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows- Unable to install or open - MSVCR80 issue.
2. If the Apple article does not fully resolve the problem for you, then try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates - MSVCR80.

Why is my page or connection jumping all over the place after my recent update to firefox 5.0

I came back from a week away and when I got on the internet firefox had updated to 5.0 and ever since then my pages just jump all over the place Why?

Hi Aish,
I have found the problem, but not sure where to find the solution as I'm pretty new to Adobe products.
I built another site to see if I had the same problem, this time I made it shorter to see if the length was the problem. I put in some elements and 'assets', added parallax scroll key frames, left out pretty much most other things to see if I could pin the problem down. I found that I had the exact same problem.
In the Muse preview it scrolls with the mouse like a dream when I grab the scroll bar and drag it down. But when I preview in business catalyst, export HTML or preview in browser, it goes crazy and won't let me get to the bottom. Further to that, when you scroll back to the top, everything is out of place and gets worse every time you scroll down and back to the top.
I have a touch screen computer and tried to scroll the screen with my finger rather than dragging the scroll bar down with the mouse. The website works like a dream when I scroll with my finger, even when I scroll back to the top everything stays in place and the whole site works lovely! I then tried the other, long website to see if this was the same case and it was exactly the same case. It scrolls with a finger like a dream, but has a fit when you drag down the scroll bar with a mouse.
My next question would be could I somehow disable some kind of touch scroll option in only the desktop version of the site, but leave it active in mobile and tablet sites? If I can do this can you please advise me on how to deactivate it, I think that should solve the problem.
Can you please get back to me with an answer to this? I would be very greatful!
Marc.

Why is the webpage jumping all over the place with parallax scrolling?

Hi all, I'm getting a little frustrated here... I've built a looooong (10,200 pixel) parallax scrolling site, when I click 'Preview' it plays like a dream, but when I render the HTML, view in browser or publish to business catalyst to view, it just jumps all over the place. I realise that the page is extremely long, I'm thinking it could be that but just need to clarify it before I rework it all and maybe find out after, that it was something else that was causing it to happen.
Your views would be greatly appreciated!

I have a comment. I am very upset with Photoshop and all your tutorials regarding the quick select tool. I have watched many tutorials and read instructions until I am blue in the face. This tool does not work. It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple. How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?

It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.
This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

Concluding something does not work because you fail at using it is not necessarily always justified.
The Quick Selection Tool certainly has limitations, but your post seems to be more about venting than trouble-shooting – otherwise you might have posted an image where you failed to get an expected result.

Thank you for your attention

Adobe has been trying this and the product is called Muse ( Web design software | Download free Adobe Muse CC trial ). It doesn't give you the control over the code that most developers prefer but it could help bridge the gap for design if that is what you are looking for.

When in organizer how do I keep my cursor from jumping all over the place?

When I am working in Organizer 12, My cursor jumps all over the place and the screen keeps repositioning itself. It is infurating and I can't get any work done. New desktop iMac using Marevick 10.9.1 and wireless mouse and track pad both slowed to lowest level. Also tried using a tethered mouse but no different. Anyone else have this problem. Is it an Apple problem?

Is it a 'Magic Mouse'? If so that's why, there are many reports that it is badly behaved in the Elements Organizer. If not, do you have another mouse you could try it with (to rule out a hardware problem)?
