DuplicateObjectException - But NOT duplicate!

Hi All,
I'm getting this exception (below) from weblogic when I try and redeploy our portal application . Its affecting around five of our different LAF files, the system outputs these errors/warnings and then doesn't allow selection or viewing of these laf's either through our application or portal admin.
These LAF's at one time or another have all worked (full testing was done on each one)
The files are 100% different, I've checked every single one and no two have the same markup names, or duplicate contents (apart from description - which I've also tried altering).
In the database the markup for these LAFs does already exist, as you would expect it to when redeploying existing code (You'd hardly want to delete your database everytime you redeploy!!!). if this issue happens in live as well this would be critical for us.
Can somebody suggest what might be wrong? and how if possible to recover?
Thanks
Chris.

/framework/markup/lookandfeel/company_greyongrey.laf
file. If it is already deleted then it is probably in use (and only marked
for d
eleted) and it will have to be deleted from the admin tools.

Copying data from one table to another, but not duplicate

Good afternoon!
I am new to Oracle SQL, I have a difficulty.
I have a script that copies or add another table with data from another table.
If the table already has 01 "Registry 01" when you make a copy of the data in table 02, can not duplicate the "Registry 01" again.
As the table already exists since the beginning of the year before last and duplicate information, I can not apply the UNIQUE constraint because of the error. I have to make this change from now.
How to perform this validation so that no duplicate data?

Hi,
in addition to what Marwin has already said, I suggest you to post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements (as mentioned in the FAQ).
The error you are getting from MERGE command is because you need a way to uniquely identify within the table. So it's is important to know also if your table has a primary key/unique index so the keys could to be used in the MERGE command.
Additionally when you put some code or output please enclose it between two lines starting with {noformat}{noformat}
i.e.:
{noformat}{noformat}
SELECT ...
{noformat}{noformat}
Regards.

How to delete duplicates from iTunes but not hard drive

I'm running iTunes 10 and have my music stored on both my NAS drive and backup drive. Each track appears twice on iTunes: once as lossless for streaming and and once as compressed AAC files for synching to ipods and iphones.
For some reason, when my PC is turned on after being turned on, the linkstation cannon be 'seen' by iTunes, and therefore if I try to play a track, 'the original file cannot be found'. If I use the 'add folder to library' option in the 'file' dropdown menu, the tracks are located again.
Unfortunately, I the last time I did this it resulted in 4 copies of each song on itunes; 2 lossless and 2 AAC.
I have 2 questions:
Firstly is there an easy way to delete the duplicates from my iTunes library so that I am left with only 1 lossless and one AAC copy, but not deleing the files from my NAS and backup drive?
Is there a way I can just store my music as lossless, but convert it easily to aa more compressed format for synching to iphone and ipod?
Thanks!

You can try my new DeDupe script. It should be able to get rid of the redundant copies while keeping one copy of each track in each format. See this thread for background.
I've not used the feature, but iTunes can downsample to 128k AAC on the fly as it syncs your devices. Of course you might find the process is too slow for your needs or find that 128k is too much compression.

Duplicate calendar entries - but not related to any kind of sync

I went on holiday for 3 weeks and during that time my iPod touch discharged completely. When I came back and charged it up again I saw that it had reset its date back to what I presume is the factory default of 01 January 1970. I set the date and time to the current date and time - and then discovered that all my MONTHLY and YEARLY repeating calendar entries (but not the WEEKLY ones) have all been duplicated. This is not the result of any kind of sync up since (following a complete system rebuild following a virus attack) I have not yet reinstalled iTunes on my PC and I have not knowingly synced with Outlook because I almost never use it. If I delete an entry that has been duplicated then BOTH entries are deleted. Has anyone seen this behaviour and can tell me how I can remove the duplicate entries? I have looked for posts relating to duplicate calendar entries but they all deal with syncing-related problems whereas mine is not. Thanks.

I have a similar issue. I bought an ipod touch last week and today I synced my entourage contacts, and address book. The address book entries are fine, but I have duplicates on my calendar. Now, its not duplicating per day, its duplicating the previous or next day. For instance, I have a birthday listed for today, it will also show for yesterday or tomorrow. What is causing this? I've checked the calendar on entourage and ical and both show correctly. (ical copies items from entourage)

I have a corrupt jpeg on my desktop. It has duplicated itself 450,000 times freezing my finder. I have reinstalled 10.6.8 but not freed up the desktop. I have managed to delete the corrupt jpeg from a shared imac but cannot delete the duplicates. Any ideas

This can be done from Single User Mode. You're going to need a little nerve though since everything is command line based.
1) Enter Single User Mode by restarting and holding down Command+S on the keyboard. A whole bunch of UNIX stuff will go by on the screen in white text on a black background. When it's done, the command prompt will be sitting at:
:/root#
2) Above that, you'll see that it tells you to enter two commands. Run this one first by typing it in and pressing enter:
/sbin/fsck/ -fy
This does a system file check. A good thing to do in your case as it may be damaged. It could take a while. When it's done, you'll be back at the :/root# prompt.
3) Enter the second command and press enter:
/sbin/mount -uw /
4) Type the following at the prompt:
cd /Users/name/Desktop
Where it says "name" above, the short name of your user account goes there. If you're not sure what it is, first type:
cd /Users
Then type:
ls
That's a lower case L, not a one. It stands for "list". You'll get a listing of all files and folders in the Users folder. So if your short account name is diane, then the command will be:
cd /Users/diane/Desktop
After entering that command, the prompt should read:
:Desktop root#
Type:
rm *.jpg
Be very careful to type is exactly as shown. rm followed by a space, then *.jpg. Press enter and all files ending in .jpg will be deleted from the Desktop folder. With 450,000 of them, you could be waiting a while for the prompt to come back.
Type:
exit
and press enter to boot back into OS X.

Duplicate contacts on iphone 4s but not on icloud

How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone but not in my itunes?

How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone

Hi jpere041,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can delete individual songs, artists, albums, playlists, compilations and composers from your iPhone. To delete an item, swipe across it, then tap Delete.
This information is on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide
manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

How To Duplicate Songs In A Playlist To Edit Info But Not Lose Original?

I'm making a Christmas playlist and want to edit the info on the various songs -- I'll add my own "album artwork" and will change the track info so each of the 25 songs is numbered 1 of 25 ... 25 or 25
bla bla bla
How best do I deal with the playlist so I can make my changes for this project but not lose the original info associated with each song? For example I'll want to add my artwork this time but want the original file to still have the original artwork, track number, album name, etc.
what's the easiest way?
Thanks

Wow ... a flurry of comment on what I thought was a basic question
Many thanks to all!
I am not aware of the "automatically add to iTunes" function -- is it a folder, a button, a menu item, ...? I don't see it in my iTunes and there is no mention when I did a search in the help. I'm sure it is right in front of my face.
What I was thinking of doing was dragging the songs to my desktop and then dragging back. But am I then going to get messed up with the file being recompressed?
Interesting stuff!
Thanks again.

Duplicate files in windows but not in itunes

Here's a thorny problem! My library is taking up about twice what i reckon it should be. I have 3888 tunes, which is taking up 23.56 gb according to itunes. If I click on properties of my itunes folder at windows level it confirms this. I have no duplicate tunes in my library and if i look at the files at windows level there are no duplicates. However, if I do a search in windows for a tune (and this applies to all the tunes i searched) it shows two files, both of the same name and the same size, in the same folder within itunes. So it seems that my files are being duplicated within my itunes folder, but the duplicates don't show up in itunes or windows (i have 'show hidden files' selected in folder options). Any takers? All help greatly appreciated!

Issues with duplicate IDs - maybe a MyFaces problem but not sure

I've been having a heap of trouble getting the DataScroller object working. It simply refuses to allow me to have facets. It works perfectly fine in the examples but not in my page. I'd really appreciate it if anyone can help me out. This thing has been bothering me for days.
I'm new to JSF so any other hints about how I should write it would be nice for future reference. You know, things like "you should make sure these tags are before these ones" and that.
The code that causes the error (messages.jsp):
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>

Ben,
That was the problem. The link is live now and you can see the poorly positioned spry menu in all its glory.
Thanks,

You don't say what you want to change.
If I were styling your menu I would have it vertically centered in the grey background. By adding the red coloured rule found in layout.css
#menu (line 61)
background-image: url("../Images/Layout/nav_bg.jpg");
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: left top;
width: 960px;
height: 40px;
padding-top: 10px; // or whatever suits
I would also like to have the menu items spread evenly across the page by applying the style rule found in SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
     margin: 0;
     padding: 0;
     list-style-type: none;
     font-size: 100%;
     position: relative;
     cursor: pointer;
     width: 20%; // 5 items X 20% = 100%
     float: left;
You may have to fiddle a bit more after this to get it exactly the way you want. Just start a new topic because this one has already been answered.
Happy Sprying.

ITunes for Windows freezes when importing a library. I have a large but not huge library of mostly iTunes purchased music on two authorized computers and would like to sync the files, export the library as a playlist, and import it on the other computer.

I am running iTunes for Windows 10.2.2 on Windows 7 Home. I have my iTunes library on both this computer and another authorized machine running Windows 7 Professional. I have a large but not enormous library, as I'm one of those people who doesn't pirate, use torrents, borrow from a dozen friends, or whatever other shades of gray you might imagine. It's mostly iTunes purchases with my old CD collection imported. I have started using the following technique to sync my libraries between my two authorized computers, an ability which you can probably all agree should one day be added to iTunes -- that would be different from Home Sharing, because the music would be stored locally and thus available on the road. With the added benefit of the entire library being backed up on the other machine in real-time. Anyway, when I switch from my desktop to laptop and vice versa, I use the following technique:
Connect both machines to the home network. One machine is the "Active" machine, which has most recently been used for iTunes media, purchases, ratings, etc.
On the "Active" machine, File-->Library-->Export. Save the file as "Library.xml" on the shared drive of the other machine.
Right-click "Library.xml" where it's been saved, and open another file that has two lines in it: The root path of the iTunes library on one machine and the root path of the iTunes library on the other machine.
Do a find/replace all in Notepad to make the library XML file point to where the files will be saved on the "Inactive" machine.
Run Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize the files between both music libraries; the most recent files win. This avoids copying the entire multi-gigabyte library over the network.
Open iTunes on the "Inactive" machine.
Go to Music, Select All, Delete. Keep files.
Do the same for Movies, Music Videos.
Go down to Playlists, select the top one, hold down the delete button until they're all gone.
File-->Library-->Import Playlist. Choose the "Library.xml" file you saved.
First a status bar comes up that says, "Importing library." It has the continually-scrolling progress bar, not the one that starts on the left and steadily creeps right. Then after about 30 seconds, that clears out. Wait. Typically a few minutes. Eventually a status bar will pop up saying something like, "Evaluating gapless playback information," or something like that.
The "Inactive" computer is now the "Active" computer. I can now play my library, it has all my playlists and metadata from the other machine.
Delete all the duplicate playlists named "Music," "Genius," "Purchased," and "iTunes DJ."
Well, I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2 a few days ago and tried to do this again like I've done it dozens of times before. Now, iTunes just goes unresponsive after the library import. It got through the "Importing library" bar to the long wait and stopped. I can still multiprocess and use other programs, but iTunes is hovering back there not responding to clicks. Task Manager doesn't seem to think iTunes is using my CPU, and I don't see my hard drive rattling. Any thoughts on why iTunes might hang up when importing a large library?
... Also, please help lobby Apple to come up with a network sync tool built into iTunes for a user with multiple authorized computers. Something different than Home Sharing so I can pull my laptop off the network and still have the synced library with me. And all my metadata changes will sync. The technique I use seems a little kludgey, don't you think?

iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).

Artist/album names missing when adding folder (but not all of them)

Yesterday I found iTunes couldn't locate the folder where I store MP3 downloads - ie. I got the dreaded '!' alongside most tracks. When I used the Add Folder command I ended up getting a duplicate of virtually every track.
However most of the duplicate tracks were only shown with the track number on the original album plus about 12-15 characters from the title (ie. character string used as a label for the MP3 file). There was no detail of the artist or album.
Given the large number of duplicates involved I decided to clear out the library and have just used Add Folder. Same outcome - 1/3rd of the tracks described in full; the other 2/3rds just show track number and some of the title.
Suggestions on (a) where I'm going wrong; and (b) whether I can use contents in the Previous iTunes library folder to recreate the library would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

As I've already said this question has been answered maybe no one is monitoring this topic but ... I've just worked out the reason the detail is missing is because the tracks which have limited detail are in WAV format.
This is where I am completely lost because they have all been downloaded from the iTunes store or from Amazon as MP3 files, and I'm not aware either of the download functions comes with an add-on called "automatically convert to WAV".
The irony is that this is quite convenient but if anyone can provide an explanation of how it is occurring then I would be interested to hear because I can't figure it out. May still trust my sanity, but not my memory!

Font There but Not

I have a particular font, visible in the Fonts folder (in Library). That font will not show up in FontBook or even Spotlight! AND, it won't appear in my font lists (such as in InDesign or Word, or anything)!
I've tried "validating file" within FontBook, but I'm now stuck...
Help?
Thanks!
-Aaron

Hullo Aaron:
I'm no systems techie, so this might be a naive question:
But is your font actually installed to Font Book and the font panel?
To check this, if you haven't already, and since you know where the font is, just double click on its file. This brings up a Font Book linked panel, which will either tell you the font is installed, or offer you the option to install it.
It's not enough for a font to just be on your system, even in the right place.
It has to be "installed" for the system to see it. Generally system installation does this for the fonts it provides, but not for others, and a partial installation or archive reinstall can also leave provided fonts still needing this operation. Similarly some fonts you download do this for you, but if you transfer them to another system you have to do it for them.
Sorry if you've checked this already, but otherwise try it. It's harmless. The worst that can happen is that if you've got a second copy of a font installed from elsewhere, there'll be a duplicate to resolve.
Good luck.

Old contacts showing up in siri and text search results but not in contacts list.

So what I did was this. I had mobile me, and iphone ocntacts as well as contacts on phone. After updating to IOS5, i had tripples of almost all my contacts (but not all). I converted my mobile me to icloud to discover i couldnt use that email under my new official icloud accoutn as my @me.com adress. So what i did was this. I deleted my old mobile me (now icloud account) compleatly from my phone, my iPad and my computer so there is no trace of it. I then went to my new iCloud account (that i will now use as my only icloud account. going to let the old mobile me one just die so i have 1 central spot for all my stuff). Now all my contacts are gone. So to start fresh and just be done with the confusion, i go to www.icloud.com and manually (by hand) re type in all my contacts. I updated some info and changed some names (like nicknames and stuff like that to real names). Basiclly compleatly organizing my contacts and such to the way i want them. Getting rid of poeple i no longer talk to and such. I did it, it syned and all was well. However now here is hte problem.
If i go to spotlight search, or text search, or search with siri, or any type of search function, all of my old contacts are still there and viewable. All the ones i wanted to get rid of are all still there. However, if i go to contacts and look for thoes old contacts, they are not in the contact list (yes iv checked every "group" and also "all contacts" in groups). What i want is to figure out how to get all of these old contacts compleatly deleated so they dont show up anywere on my phone. Especially with siri its making searches and auto calling more difficult because its finding two contacts sometimes that are the same person and asks me to distinguish instead of jsut calling. CAn anybody help?
Sorry for the wall of text, wanted to make sure to give as much info on the specifics as possible so hopefully i can get this resolved. Is this a bug or something i did wrong? can i fix it or do i just have to wait for an update?
P.S.
Iv since upgraded to iphone 4S and still happening. Also this does NOT happen on my iPad. Only my iPhone.

Talked to AppleCare for about an hour. After trying many steps: deleting contacts, re downloading from cloud, disabling Siri and re enabling, even Reset all Settings. Nothing worked. Ended up having to restore the phone via Erase All Content and Settings. That of course fixed it.
Not sure what the issue was. I did have a Mobile Me account before the iCloud migration. For some reason, my contacts would appear in Contacts on the phone and in the cloud only once, but when using Siri it would list 2 or 3 duplicate contacts. Also after we deleted all the contacts on the phone, did an iPhone reset (Home and On/off buttons), my contacts list would show empty. Then I would click on Groups and poof all of a sudden duplicate or triplicate contacts would be in the contacts list.
Very strange.

DuplicateObjectException - But NOT duplicate!
