Duplicate songs one works one doesn't how do I automatically update?

My itunes library has two copies of each song and one doesn't work. Is there an easier way to delete the songs that don't play besides manually going through and deleting each one?

Use iTunes Folder Watch and set it's option to check for dead tracks on start-up.

Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created. As i dont have the access to the earlier id anymore.

    You cannot. The apps are assigned to that Apple ID and there is nothing you can do to change that. You could choose to download them again with the new Apple ID, any paid apps will need to be purchased again.
    Hope that helps.

  • ITunes, Remote.app v2: Does v2 still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3? (Plus v3 and iTunes issues)

    Remote.app (version 2): Does it still work in iOS7 or will I be automatically updated to version 3?
    That is basically the main question I've come to ask (with some side commentary in parenthesis below).
    After trying out iTunes Remote App version 3, I saw that it scrambles playlists (such as Recently Purchased), which makes my playlists worthless. For example, using Remote.app, it's no longer possible to simply play the songs you bought over the last week at the iTunes Store using the Recenlhy Purchased Playlist. Since I buy a lot of music through the iTunes Store, I naturally want to listen to what I just paid for, just as I could using Remote.app version 2.
    But it's not just the Recenly Purchased playlist, it's all my playlists. Through the last decade, day in and day out, I've carefully orgnized hundreds of playlists that I've very crafted, song by song like old mix tape casettes.
    They payoff for this work has been enormous. Since starting with mp2 in 1995, then mp3 and continuing through to the thousands of dollars I've spent purchasing songs through the iTunes Store and tens of thousands on iPods, iPhones, iPads, and computers—I've been able to make music match whatever mood or music was juuust right for the moment, making for great moments and memories with friends and families. For some artists, I always want to hear their latest songs first or I want to to hear top rates songs first. Other lists are about creating a particular mood for just about any occasion. I can even shift the mood in the room with the right music list. It's really been fantastic the memories and moments I've been able to set the tone with the right song, and most of this has been not the song itself, but the flow of music I've created by orgnizing music lists. That's a lot of work I've invested. So the order of the songs matters a lot to me, especially the very first song that starts that list. That's the song I want to hear first, not somewhere in the middle.
    As of Remote.app version 3, these carefully crafted songlists are scrambled, making the App worthless. When I first noticed this I couldn't believe it, must be a bug. Nope, no bug, by design I found out. It's like when Lucy pulls the football away. It's mean spirited to take back features you've sold and promoted and people have grown to rely on in the workflow of their lives. So I downgraded back to Remote.app version 2.
    ((Actually, they're not really technically scrambled, they're actually presented in alphabertical order, which I think is really the same thing to me. Think about it: listening to an artists work alphabetically by title is really the most random and completely scrambled way to listen to their music. Or if you don't want to listen to them alphabetically, you can have them shuffled. Those are now the only two choices. Either way, the lists are jumbled, and like iTunes 11, several of the most powerful features have been taken away. In this case the exact thing that's missing is that the iTunes Remote no longer reflects the sort order of iTunes playlists.
    I don't know if this is a quiet, update-by-update shift away from our playlists and towards iTunes Radio or not, but I would think so. Why else would you make it less powerful. To quote Merlin Mann Apple tends to "fire a warning shot" feature wise before taking something away. The Finder has gotten less and less powerful in finding files and folders by their name and size through the last decade.
    I'm now noticing the same thing with iTunes, it's becoming more difficult to find the currently playing song. In iTunes 10, Go to Current Song would open the folder containing the list of the currently playing song, highlight and move that list to the top of the left column and then highlight that song. In iTunes 11, Go to Current Song will only highlight the folder that contains that song and nothing more. At that point you're on your own to hunt town the currently playing song. This feature has been broken—on purpose I suspect.))
    SO—I don't want to be forced into Remote.app version 3 and have my playlists scrambled on my iPhone and iPad. Is there anyone who knows the answer from first hand experience?
    If customer loyalty is as important to Apple as it should be taking away features in iTunes and Remote app will only drive old customers away.
    Thanks!!

    I like that I would be able to maintain my iPhoto library data for Faces and Places in Aperture, but am concerned that when the iPhoto library is "upgraded" for Aperture, and I decide I don't really need that program, the upgraded library won't work with iPhoto anymore.
    The iPhoto library isn't changed in any way by Aperture. Aperture will import the Library and you can choose to copy the files to the Aperture Library or reference them within iPhoto. As long as you don't delete files from the iPhoto Library via Aperture (which you could do if you choose to Reference) there is no impact on iPhoto
    Will I still be able to use iPhoto to access and organize my library, or will it be forever converted for use with Aperture?
    They are completely different libraries.
    Recently, iPhoto bugs make Events show up multiple times in iTunes when syncing for iPhone and iPad.
    Fixed in the 9.1.3 update.
    Will I find a better user experience with Aperture, or does it also use the single file library and suffer the same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing lately?
    Like iphoto, Aperture can use the "single file library" or it can use a Referenced Library (just like iphoto can). Note that using a Referenced Library offers not a whit more in terms of features or capabilities. It's file storage plain and simple. Nothing more.
    No you won't see the "same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing..." because Aperture is an entirely different allication.
    But you my see Aperture or Lightroom struggles

  • Duplicate songs one is Protected AAC the other is Purchased AAC

    Which format of a song do I want to keep if I want to eliminate duplicates? One is Protected AAC and the other is Purchased AAC. I must not have selected to delete the previous version when using the plus option at the Itunes store.
    I think deleting the Protected AAC version is the way to go but looking for confirmation before hitting the button.
    Thanks

    Correct. There is no point keeping a low-quality DRM-encumbered version when you already have a higher-quality non-DRM version.

  • How to get automatic updates for P750 custom build

    I recently purchased a custom built P750 and want to sign up for automatic updates. There is no option for just a P750 which is my complete model number.
    8GB ram
    I7 2.20GHz
    Windows HP SP1 with all updates installed at this time.
    How can I get automatic updates for this machine and operating system and if so, how do I get signed up for those?
    Should I just choose a model number and pretend it is the model I have? Which number should I choose?
    Jon
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Satellite P750 (PSAY3U-0RF03H)
    All computers in the same part-number family (PSAY3U) are essentially the same. The drivers and utilities for this one should work.
    Satellite P750-BT4G22 (PSAY3U-08703H)
    So go here.
    Hmm. Not many there. So let's go to the equivalent part-number family in Europe (PSAY3E).
    Get those here.
    Lots of ways to wiggle.

  • Windows 10 - How to Stop Automatic Update July 29th

    Hi, all! I just purchased a Lenovo Yoga 3 14. I'm in the process of setting it up (any suggestions welcome, but I've been reading through this forum and searching online for help) and have been unable to find an answer to the following question. The sales associate told me that any PC I purchased (which currently has Windows 8.1) will automatically update itself to Windows 10 on July 29th once connected to the internet.  My problem is that I will be sitting for the bar exam at the end of the month with this laptop (ending on the 30th). The bar exam uses ExamSoft (by SofTest), which does not support Windows 10 (yet, not guaranteed to do so by the bar exam - and definitely not something I want to have to worry about). The exam software requires an internet connection to upload the exam, though it is not connected to the internet other than for the upload. I shut off Automatic Update (for now) and am hoping that if I do not connect to the internet for long (though I can't control how long and it may need to be connected for a long time to upload), it won't update. Does anyone know of a way that I can stop this automatic update? (When I updated my old laptop to Win8 and then 8.1, I was able to opt in to the update and run it when I chose, as well as go back to the former version if I didn't like the new. It seems odd to me that this is an automatic update without option.) Thanks in advance!

    If I were in your situation, I'd leave it as is. As long as we will eventually have to approve the download and most likely agree to several prompts, I wouldn't bother going through the extra work of removing the reminder. Someone else might have another opinion, but that is what I'd do.

    No apologies are necessary. No one knows everything there is to know about computers. Feel free to visit our forums whenever you have a question. Good luck on the bar exam.

  • In Pages how do you automatically update a date in a document each time you open the document?

    That's all I need to know, and also if it isn't possible, I'd like to know that.
    Thanks,

    After one enters the Date/Time in Pages '09, the Edit Date & Time item on the contextual menu provides a checkable Automatically update on open. Every version of Pages v5 lacks this capability, and the auto-update setting will be ignored in a Pages '09 document opened in Pages v5.

  • How to disable automatic updates

    Today, for the  very first time, updating Adobe came with the notice it would make automatic updates the
    default setting.  It said one could change that by going to Update Adobe Preferences.  However,
    every single button on the application does not yield such an update.
    FYI - I have some back ground in electronic warfare and internet attacks.  I believe automatic updates
    are a dangerous setting in two instances:
    1) You are running a program (such as a compiler or critical low level editor that will fail if it does
    not have total control) which can be interrupted by or be messed up by the install;  also most
    installers do not want to be running at the same time as another installer is running;
    2) You are the victim of a peculiar kind of cyber attack that USES auto updates to DELIVER malware.
    For this reason, users with expertise and appropriate systems need to be able to control when
    updates happen.  The notice system is fine.  This "you must do it" and the hard to find way to turn
    it off (assuming it exists) isn't fine.  FYI the adobe information base article on the subject
    - if you call it - refuses to load and says it is no longer available!

  • How to stop automatic updates

    I NEED Adobe reader, but I do not want any software to break into my computer and force itself on me.
    I have had my preferences properly formatted for months ("do not download or install") but Adobe ignores the Preferences (both home and at work) and several times a day tries to update.  I have gone through my registry and deleted Adobe auto everything and Adobe ARM.  Still get update nags.  I have gone through all my Temp files and deleted everything I can find, including several identical files!
    I am tired of being interrupted by Reader wanting to  download, plus I resent the program's rapacious behavior.  How can I stop this?  How can I teach Adobe that NO MEANS NO?
    I'm sure there's something to be done that I haven't figured out.  Please help me.
    Thanks.

    Here is what you also mentioned -
    " I have gone through my registry and deleted Adobe auto everything .."
    If setting is missing, the default is "Download and ask me to install", which is what you seems to get.
    You need to set iCheck DWORD value in the registry below to 0 if you want to disable auto completely.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM     on 64bit OS
    or
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM     on 32bit OS
    Do not delete any files - it will not help, but can lead to unforeseen issues with the application.

  • How can I automatically update links to bookmarks that change?

    The documentation I am working on currently outputs to WebHelp, Word, and PDF.
    The files include numerous equations and figures. I created styles to automatically number these and bookmarked them for linking. It just occurred to me, however, that these figures are likely to change over time. Is there a way to automatically update the links as figures are added or removed?
    FWIW, I am using RoboHelp HTML 9.0.2.271 on Windows 7.

    There is no automatic way of updating bookmarks that I am aware of. Can you not create bookmarks that avoid the numbering as they will not be seen by users.

  • How do you automatically update a Web Gallery from a Smart Album?

    I just installed iPhoto '08, and like the new features. I have published several Web Galleries, which are great for people who don't have Macs. I am publishing a smart album of all of the photos taken in the last month (Date is in the last 1 Month). However, when I add new photos, they show up automatically in the Smart Album, but they don't show up automatically in the Web Gallery. Is there a way to do this in iPhoto '08? Is there a way to do this with Automator? Thanks for your help.

    TeeJay6:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No you can't because the web gallery is a separate entity from the smart album. Once the gallery is created in iPhoto you have to add photos to it manually and then click on the icon to update it online.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Adobe Reader 8: How to stop automatic updates

    Today, I noticed that my system was trying to download 8.1.2.
    I did not request a check for updates.
    How do I disable the automatic downloading of updates?
    I loke thru Edit | Preferences and did not find any options to do so.

    Did you reboot?
    I've never seen the Add/Remove programs list go away, that indicates a deeper problem.
    After rebooting, do you see the Add/Remove programs list?
    If not, open the Control Panel, right click and select refresh.
    Does that fix things?
    If not, I suggest posing this question in the microsoft.public.* newsgroup for your OS.

  • How do I automatically update/distribut files to multiple machines at once?

    We use Vectorworks (CAD software) in my office and it includes, within its own application folder, a library of objects and templates.
    What I'd like to be able to do is update the files within this folder on each machine at the click of the button, preferably using my own machine as a master.
    Any ideas on how achieve this?
    We're running Mac OS X 10.4 on all machines (about a dozen) and have a server running Mac OS X Server 10.4. We also have Apple Remote Desktop.

    You can update file(s) on multiple machines using Apple Remote Desktop. Create a list (File > New List) and add the machines you want to update. Then use the "Copy" tool (Manage > Copy Items) to distribute the updated files from your machine to the target machines. There are several options for "Copy" and it depends on which version of ARD you're running.

  • How can I automatically update the JDK (not JRE) on a Windows box

    Hi,
    We have a build machine that we use to build our product. I would like to automate the process of updating the JDK used to build the product so that, as a new JDK release/update/version becomes available for download it get automatically installed on the build machine. Any recommendations on how I could do this? Is there at least a way to get notified when a new release/update/version is available?
    Thanks,
    Graham

    I don't enter it , it gets it from my card and i have written 2 there and its allowing me to choose between those two.
    Maybe we are talking about different things if you can just let me know the procedure of doing it from the beginning, I will be very grateful, if not thanks!

  • How Win 7 automatic updates corrupts user accounts and crashes Illustrator CS5

    A resolution or prevention is needed to prevent reoccurance a of new Illustrator CS5 crash:  The crash apparently prevents Illustrator from reading the AGM.dll located in the Support folder when trying to open any file with Illustrator.  Profounfly, reinstallation of the entire CS5, nor of just Illustrator 5, nor of just 5.1 does not correct the problem.   A new user account has to be created, whcih of course requires copying all user files to the new user account if you do not want to have to log in under a different user account just to use Illustrator.   David

    Thank you, I have returned to that update setting.  Knowing I am unable to determine from the update details that it is going to cause an unexpected error, I should be able to narrow down which set of updates are involved.
