Duplicates imported with box checked

When I imported photos to my iPhoto library, I checked the box not to import duplicates. After the photos were all imported, I discovered that there were several duplicates the iPhoto imported although the box was checked to not import duplcates.
How can I avoid having duplicates imported?
I did notice that under the orignals in iPhoto only the photo number was shown but under the duplicates that were imported, the titles that had been placed before the import were shown. Did this make the difference so that the duplicates were imported?
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
Oh yes, I did run Duplicate Annihilator after the import but it did not pick out those duplicates.
Thanks.

Please explain exactly what you have done. If you have edited the photos in another program then they are different

How do I avoid duplicates importing with dvd's?

I just bought my Mac, and love it! I am learning as I go, and so far everything has been very straightforward. I previously had a home PC where I stored all of my photos using Picasa. Short story, all became scrambled (1.000's of pics), and was totally unable to fix it. I do have dvd's with the correct content that I would like to import, but several have duplicate photos. Every time I try, I see duplicates in my library. This would amount to 100's of duplicates. Is there a shortcut? I see that "avoid duplicates" is an option with cameras and other devices, but cannot figure out how this works with DVD's. I am very frustrated, and have spent hours and hours trying to get it right. Could anyone please give me some advice? I would be so appreciative!!! Thank You!!!

Purchase and run Duplicate Annihilator - http://brattoo.com/propaganda/ - on your iPhoto library

Video quality when importing with letterboxing checked

If I import mini dv shot in 16:9 using the letterboxing during import, does it degrade video quality? What settings are best when importing 16:9 mini dv?
Thanks!

Set the project as DV Widescreen before importing. Do not tick 'Automatic Letterboxing'.

At reboot Delicious plugin doesn't retain logon with box checked and also resyncs bookmarks which takes a long time.

FF appears not to be saving settings. Bookmarking can take 5 minjtes or longer. I don't really want it to sync the bookmarks but can't find anyplace to turn that off.

LR4 import dialogue box does not recognise duplicates (and then it does)

I have a strange problem. Since I upgraded my LR3 catalog to LR4 I have had trouble with the import dialogue box not recognising duplicates and thumbnails but if I cancel the import and try again it all seems to work.
The problem: I have the ‘Don’t import suspected duplicates’ option selected on the import dialogue however when I open the dialog box any duplicates on the memory card are still shown and often the thumbnails only show for the first 20 – 50 photos. When you cancel the import and open the dialogue box again the thumbnail images start popping up and all of the duplicates start disappearing from the dialogue box until they are all gone.
The situation: I am using a retina MacBook Pro running the latest version of OSX, although the problem first started when LR4 was released and I was running it on a c. 2008 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. I import a range of files from iPhone photos through to Canon 5D Mk III photos using a CF/SD card reader as well as plugging straight in to the iPhones with a USB cable. My catalog is currently sitting at around 70,000 photos.
When I got the new retina MacBook Pro and first installed LR4 I copied across my catalog files and photos etc and this problem did not exist. It started happening again after I copied across all of the hidden system files (presets, keywords, preferences etc.)
Any ideas much appreciated.
Thanks
Nigel.

Hi Pitmonkey,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are having issues with your iMac automatically ejecting disks, I would suggest reading over and following the troubleshooting steps in the following article. I know there are references to an external SuperDrive but the troubleshooting is for built in SuperDrives as well.
Apple Computers: Troubleshooting the slot-loading SuperDrive
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2801
Accepts discs but they don't mount or are automatically ejected
Make sure the drive is not placed upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up as shown in section 1.
Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
Connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
OS X Snow Leopard v10.6 or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
OS X Lion v10.7 and later: Click the Apple () menu and then hold down the Option key. Choose System Information from the menu.
If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.
Have a great day,
Joe

Duplicate copies of synced music & music with box unchecked synced

I have duplicate copies of songs listed although only one will actually play. I also have whole albums which are not checked to sync to my iPhone. I have unchecked all albums to be synced and only have artists boxes checked but this has not got rid of the one I do not want on my phone or duplicate listings. Any ideas please?

Have a look at Teridon's iTunes Scripts, Robert has a script in there for dealing with duplicates which might be of some help: Teridon's iTunes for Windows Scripts
Just note: The duplicate eliminator in Robert's scripts package only works for these two kinds of duplicates:
1) Multiple copies of the exact same file (e.g. "Song.mp3" and "Song 1.mp3", where "Song 1.mp3" is simply a copy of Song.mp3
2) Multiple entries in the iTunes Library for the exact same file.
The script does nothing for duplicates that are the same song, but different files (e.g. encoded by someone else, has different artwork or other tags, etc.)
There are also some third party programs out there, like "Dupe Eliminator" that might help in more complicated cases. If you do a quick web search I'm sure you'll find more: Dupe Eliminator

Please help! I defragged my hard drive and now Illustrator CS6 is trying to open all of my complex Illustrator files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they are text files, and they are not opening!

Please help! Illustrator CS6 started trying to open all of my complex.ai files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they were text files, and they are not opening! Help!

Hi Monika,
I have spent the last two or three days trying to do what you suggested. I uninstalled Adobe 6 from Windows. Some files that CS6 placed on my system during installation remained, including fonts and .dll files.
I had to abandon the Cleaner Tool you suggested because in one screen it allowed me to specify removing CS6 only, but on the following screen it only gave on option to remove ALL Adobe programs. I could not do that because I didn't have the serial number handy for CS3 in case I want to reinstall it at some point.
I tried to get technical help with the Cleaner Tool problem but no definitive help was available, so I reinstalled CS6 again without having the benefit of the Cleaner Tool. I tried to get the serial number for CS3 so I could use the Cleaner Tool but spent 2 wasted hours in chat. Even though I had a customer number, order number, order date, place of purchase, the email address used AND 16 digits of the serial number, in two hours the agent couldn't give me the serial number. After two hours I had nothing but instructions to wait another 20 minutes for a case number.
Illustrator CS6 is still trying to open some backups as Text and otherNone of the problems have been fixed. I have tried to open/use the .ai files in CS6 installed on another system and am getting the same result, so I don't think the software was damaged by the cleaner. The hard drive cleaner is well-known and I've run it many times without any problem to previous versions of Illustrator or any other programs.
When I ordered, the sale rep promised good technical support and gave me an 800 number, but after I paid the $2000, I learned that the 800 number she gave me doesn't support CS6 and hangs up on me. Adobe doesn't call it a current product even though they just sold it to me about 3 weeks ago.
Would appreciate any help you experts can offer. If I can't solve this, the last backup I can use was from June and I will have lost HUNDREDS of hours of work and assets that I cannot replace.
Exhausted and still desperately in need of help...

How can I use if with a check box to perform a formula?

I would like to have a column with a cheek box which, if ticked, performs a formula in the next column. Would anyone know how to do this?

Is this what you mean?
B1=IF(A1=TRUE, C1+D1, "")
this is shorthand for select cell B1, then type (or copy and paste from here) he formula:
=IF(A1=TRUE, C1+D1, "")
Check box not checked:
Check box checked:
when the checkbox is checked cell B1 will contain the sum of cells C1 and D1 otherwise cell B1 is empty

Popup screen with two check box and a text area for the user to enter value

hi,
i have a requirement when a button is clicked a popup screen should appear with two check box and a text box where the user can enter a value.
is there any function module which has that functionality

Hello,
You can create a new screen and select the screen type as model dialog box.This will give you a pop-up screen and you can call this model dialog box screen in the PAI of the screen where the button is present.(At user-command).
case ok_code.
when 'BUTTON'.
call screen 200 starting at 10 10.
You can design the PBO of this pop-up screen as per your needs.

I deleted duplicate files with MacKeeper and now my firefox only shows text. I have reinstalled firefox, java, and checked all of my settings. Any ideas? Safari works fine.

I opened iCal back up, all the dates were blank, so i started to type events into a date.
As soon as I started to double click a date to type an event, magically all the events in all the months reappeared.
I'm still puzzled why it acted this way and if I did delete something that caused it to act this way.

When I downloaded I tunes and bought Match all 3 of my computers synced. Now I download a song from Amazon into Media player or burn a cd and they are not syncing with the other computers. I update match and have my boxes checked in preferences.

When I originally downloaded i tunes and bought match all 3 of my computers synced. Now when I download a song from Amazon into media or burn a cd into media they are not syncing. I go in and update match thinking that might work, it hasn't. I have all of my boxes checked in preferences on all 3 computers.

Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

Creating a new folder starts up import dialog box...

When I click the plus sign on the folders panel, it takes me to the create folder dialog where I can browse to the location of the new folder.
Sometimes, after clicking OK, LR then starts up the import dialog box with a heap of images to import which I then need to cancel. I should have checked where the images were from but have not thought to do so before this post.
Anyway, is there any functionality in LR that should import images when a new folder is created? I think this happens when I don't have a folder selected...not sure.. away from LR at the moment.
As an aside, I wish you could click the + on the folders panel and LR would create a subfolder at the selected location with the name ready to edit, rather than going to a new dialog and having to browse to the location.

>"Anyway, is there any functionality in LR that should import images when a new folder is created? I think this happens when I don't have a folder selected...not sure.. away from LR at the moment. "
I can't duplicate this. Whether I have highlighted an existing LR folder or not, clicking the "+" brings up the create folder dialog, I browse to a location and create a subfolder. That folder then becomes a LR folder. If I do have a current LR folder highlighted, the process (or just right clicking on the folder name and choose "Create Folder") brings up the create folder dialog with the current LR folder as the parent. I can create a new folder and it will become a LR subfolder of the highlighted one.
>"As an aside, I wish you could click the + on the folders panel and LR would create a subfolder at the selected location with the name ready to edit, rather than going to a new dialog and having to browse to the location."
Actually, the new dialog that opens for me (as described above) places me in the selected folder - all I do is click the create folder button in that window and a new subfolder is made. I think the reason LR won't just create a new subfolder without going to a new dialog is that the folders panel lists the "LR folders" which are a parallel universe to the "real folders" on your drive. Perhaps the LR engineers thought that by providing you with the browser/creator dialog, they were giving you more control. Who knows.

Vignetting In Import Dialog Box

Can anyone tell me how to fix the thumbnail vignette in the import dialog box of version 3.2? The thumbnails have a vignette until I mouse over them or select them. Is there a setting to turn this off?

Well, I think you should reconsider your rationales for this statement. You can not like the new behaviour, and that is fine.
But as soon as you say "should not" or ""not needed" I disagree. This is sensible UI design. You have deliberately expressed no interest in the image to be imported; it greys out the thumbnail to subtly remove the image from your attention....
Turn the question around. What value does a bright thumbnail give you if you have already decided to not import the image this session?
The value is that it's far easier to see which thumbnails you want to check for importing. Sometimes, I just need a few, so I start with "uncheck all" and want to re-check those few I want to import. I personally hate the vignetting too, and have altered my workflow to avoid it.
Well maybe the words 'should not and 'need not' are a little strong and maybe some peopke like this new feature. Personally, when I load a card into my reader I like to scan the import dialog thumbnails in a grid view with smaller thumbnails. I give them a quick scan with my eyes and choose only the ones I want to import leaving out perhaps the under exposed files so that I dont have to bother with them in the Library Module to delete them there. Now that they are darker when unselected in the import area it is harder to do this. As I said maybe 'should not' and 'need not' are a little strong but Adobe should be able in this version to turn that option on or off with a check mark the way that they have with 'do not import suspected duplicates'.

How have you altered your workflow?
