Duplicates: Some are not linked to songs

I have duplicates (and sometimes four copies) of every song in my library. The key problem is that not all of them are live links ("cannot be played because the original file can't be foun"). Is there any way to quickly delete all the dead files without testing every single song?
I know there are a lot of questions out there about duplicates but I haven't been able to find any discussion of my specific problem.
Thanks much.

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to. There are other ways to deal with deal links alone, but those won't preserve that information.

Why are some of my songs ghosted and some are not?

Hi smiilee,
Have you tried resetting your phone (hold down the Home and Power buttons a the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears). Once the Home screen comes back up, see if your Music is OK.
If it is not, then, have you sync'd your phone to an iTunes library on a computer? If so, then hook it up to the computer, uncheck the "Sync Music" option so that no music is sync'd and then sync the phone. This should delete everything on the phone. Then go back and re-check the "Sync Music" option, and select any other criteria you want on that screen, and then sync again. This should put back all of your music.
Let me know if you have any questions,

I hope you can help me. I purchased adobe captivate 8 on line and when I click on the email link to download, it comes up with 7 programs, some are 64 bit and some are not, my computer is 32 bit. I am not sure which of these 7 to download? All or just the 4 non 64 bit?

I tracked down the problem with the download and installation, my windows 7 was missing a file and after reinstalling windows everything worked out. The first 32 bit program in their list was used. I hope this can help others.

I have Prem. Elements 12. I am trying to add audio media. I know where the audio files are located (using GET INFO while in iTunes), and when I try to add certain audio files, some are accepted and some are not. In one case, when I opened a particular folder, the song was not listed, even tho' the song is there when using Windows Explorer. This happens with mp3 and mp4 and just wav files. Some audio are accepted, most are not. I get that codec is not installed error message, too.

Hi,
Firstly, I still suggest you using gpresult command to check your current GP settings. Follow the steps below to generate GPReport:
1. Open CMD
2. cd desktop
3. GPRESULT /H GPReport.html
4. GPReport.html
Secondly, you can use Process Monitor to capture the process of encrypt drive with Bitlocker, then check if there is any
Access Denied items.

Our Windows PC crashed with all our music on it. There are copies of both purchased (thru iTunes store) and from our own CDs on another HD in a backup file. They are not linked to a Media file. Is there any way I can put this music on my new computer?

Sales order has 52 line items but in vbep some are not available

Hi,
what could be the reason for the problem;
Sales order has 52 line items but in vbep some are not available...
and some has 2 etenr as '0001' and '0002', why 2 lines in vbep for 1 posnr of order.
Thanks.
deniz.

Hi,
It is possible when some of them dont have valid Schedule lines.
If they have valid schedule lines some confirmed qty should be available.otherwise we cant find them in VBEP table.
Pls check by going to sales order whether Sch.lines are valid or not.
This you can check Thru
VA03-->provide Sales Order number -->Select any line Item-->Menu item Goto-->Item-->Schedule Lines
Thanks

In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)

In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to Firefox 4 (beta)

Firefox 3.6.* and earlier set the downloaded file's modification time to the current time. In Firefox 4.0 the behavior has been changed, if a server returns a timestamp telling when the file was last modified (Last-Modified header), it is used instead.
You can revert to the previous behaviour by using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/93121/ Download Timestamp] add-on.

HT201317 When I view photos on my devices some are not oriented correctly. I used Picassa to turn all photos upright and then copied those photos into the upload file but they are still not corrected when viewed on my devices (ipads)

When I view photos on my devices some are not oriented correctly. I used Picassa to turn all photos upright and then copied those photos into the upload file but they are still not corrected when viewed on my devices (ipads)

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Some Artwork images are shown and some are not, in Finder ???

I scan the CD Cover of my music CD that I put in my iTunes (all with the same scanning setting; size, resolution, JPG...). When I go in the saved folder (Album Artwork) in Finder, some images are shown and some are not (even in Cover Flow), for those who are not, they only show a default image of a little boy with JPEG written in the center. When I go in iTunes, the image Artwork are OK, it's only in Finder that some are shown and some are not. In Finder, when I click for more info on the file, all the info seem OK and I see the preview image as it should. The bug is only in Finder.
What is the problem, and how can I fix that ???
Thank's

Buz,
If you select one of the images for which you can't see the thumbnail, Control + Click and select "Get Info". Can you see the thumbnail Preview in that view (Expand it if necessary)? What are the Sharing & Permissions at the bottom?

Some BAPIs are auto commit and some are not. what is the reason?

Hi all,
currently i am working on BAPI.I found that some BAPIs are auto commit and some are not. can anybody tell me what is the reason.

hi,
one option to find the difference is you have to look for parameters like test run or commit .
If the function module doesn't have them, then it means you have to use BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT or BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK based on the success or failure.

Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis and some are not really there?

Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis and some are not really there?

Why? Because of something you are doing wrong - however unless you actually tell us what you are doing - and what version of iPhoto you have - and any other detail that might help no one can even gess.
Exactly how are you exporting? Are the photos successfully exported to the desktop? How are you moving to the CD? why do you think they are not there?

Hi! I have a problem with the adjustment brush some are not there anymore like soften skin, how i can fix that?

Hi! I have a problem with the adjustment brush some are not there anymore like soften skin, how i can fix that?

Hi dear,
it's funny, real funny.
I think the programmes have diffrent sound system from the normal calls system.
All you need to do is to turn the sound up from the bottom in the phone side in the time you're making or recieving the call.
you'll hear the sound.
I hope that would help.
All the best
