Duplicates that aren't - why?

Sometimes when I import into iPhoto, I get the "Want to import duplicates?" dialog which shows the two photos, and they are not duplicates at all. Not the same scene, not the same date, often not the same aspect ratio.
FYI, I just went through a laborious rebuild of my library to fix a hang while importing. Success, that fixed now. Yay!!! I hoped fixing that problem would fix this duplicates problem as well, but alas, no.
Why does it think they are duplicates? How can I fix this?

Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' and import 20 or so pics, then try and import some of them again. Do you get the correct Duplicate Warning?
Yes, doing this I get the correct duplicates.
More bad news with the rebuilt library - it just hung again during an import. Arrgh. The problem is back. Only lasted 4 imports (approx 150 photos each) before it started hanging again.
When you did the Event by Event process did you create a new clean Library? Or import to the product of one of the failed rebuilds?
I'm fairly sure it was a new library. But I can't recall exactly. I'd better take some notes this time!!!

Duplicates That Aren't Duplicates

I have both manually in finder (in music folder on ext HDD), manually in iTunes, and have run Araxis duplicate finder multiple times. When I have gone thru 120+ gigs of music (whole family's) folder by folder, I make sure itunes isn't running. Then I open and sync. There's roughly 18,000 songs, videos, iTunes Extra stuff (moving itunes extra stuff and videos to another folder). But iTunes Match says I have 13,000 + songs but I would say 1/3 or more are marked duplicates. How do I get those to clear out. There is no other copy of a song on my hard drive. I even took off the copy to iTunes folder and organize files because that's where I have found duplicates occur. Or do I delete the whole library (library file) and start from scratch. My song counts are off too. I got a MacBook Pro and an Air and somehow the counts and last played also are screwy because I listen to my iPhone or iPad every night as I sleep.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I cannot give you answer to all your issues but I'll make suggestions about iTunes Match.
Firstly, if you should add iCloud status to your song view. Go menu > view > view options and tick iCloud status. This field will tell you the tracks that have been matched, uploaded, purchased, duplicate, inelligible or waiting.
You can then examine specifically those tracks marked duplicate, inelligible or waiting.
Duplicate is usually shown if match believes you already have that exact track in your library. If they are not try selecting track then ctrl click and select add to cloud.
Inelligible tracks - why? Must be music file 96 Kbps or greater or music video purchased from iTunes Store. Other will show inelligible.
Waiting - means tracks have not been matched or uploaded. Why are they still waiting - could be a problem with file.

Suppress Duplicates That Aren't Exactly Duplicates

I'm using the following query command in a report:
SELECT DISTINCT
                      TOP (100) PERCENT U.USER_NAME, A.NAME, S.SAMPLE_NUMBER, V.VERSION
FROM         dbo.TEST AS T INNER JOIN
                      dbo.SAMPLE AS S ON T.SAMPLE_NUMBER = S.SAMPLE_NUMBER INNER JOIN
                      dbo.ANALYSIS AS A ON T.ANALYSIS = A.NAME INNER JOIN
                      dbo.LIMS_USERS AS U ON A.KEY_CONTACT = U.USER_NAME INNER JOIN
                      dbo.VERSIONS AS V ON A.VERSION = V.VERSION
WHERE     (S.STATUS = 'U') AND (S.LOGIN_DATE BETWEEN CONVERT(datetime, CONVERT(varchar, DATEADD(day, - 100, GETDATE()), 101), 101) AND
                      CONVERT(datetime, CONVERT(varchar, DATEADD(day, 0, GETDATE()), 101), 101))
ORDER BY U.USER_NAME, A.NAME, S.SAMPLE_NUMBER, V.VERSION DESC
Basically, my output is something like this:
John   pH   12365   2
John   pH   10020   2
Sally   pH   12365   1
Sally   pH   10020   1
Sue    Turb 56479   3
Sue    Turb 56479   2
Sue    Turb 56479   1
I don't want the report to show the rows with a pH analysis of an old method version. Thus, only John's records should show up and not Sally's. And I don't want Sue's last two records to show up, since version 3 is the highest.
Maybe there's a way to modify the query command to only show records for the highest version of a method, but I'm not sure how to do that. Or maybe there's a way to suppress the lower version analyses in Crystal.
Any ideas?

you can do this by:
1) create a group on the name
2) put a summary on the version for Minimum for the entire report
3) put a summary on the version for Maximum for the name group
4) create a suppression formula for the details section using something similar to
= Minimum() or
< Maximum(, namegroup)

Printing events that aren't there!

I just installed Tiger (10.4.11) on my G4 1.25 GHz PowerPC. It has iCal 2.0.5. When I bring up the Print dialog, there are entries that aren't on the calendar itself (I just have one calendar). I have recurring events every Thursday & Friday. In the Print preview, it duplicates these events on Friday & Saturday. Anyone know what's up?

You can submit suggestions for the iTunes Music Store through the Request Music page. Whether or not your suggestion will ever be acted upon will depend on a number of factors, some out of Apple's control (to start with, the artists and record companies have to be willing to license the tracks to Apple), so don't expect instant action.

TS1702 "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unabailable" Why am I getting this message when I try to updaate itunes or quicktime?

The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unabailable" Why am I getting this message when I try to updaate itunes or quicktime?

Before trying the update again, use Microsoft's Fix it solution at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. Use it to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime. It bypasses this not uncommon problem. When the solution finishes, the selected program will be uninstalled. It can take several minutes and I have seen as much as half an hour.
After iTunes & Quicktime are uninstalled, try the update again.

How can I transfer photos from a 4S to a 5S that aren't stored in iCloud?

Not sure if this is the right section, so advanced apologies if not.
I'm due to swap from a 4S to a 5S and have so e pictures that aren't in iCloud (taken on older software versions pre iCloud).
Is there anyway to transfer these via the handsets, or will I need to do it via laptop / PC?
Thanks.

Did you actually set up the iPad by restoring from a back up of the phone.
My webpage here might help you understand the various ways photos can be saved on your device and some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with each method.

When a new album is created it will fill with whatever is in the right hand window, If you're in the Events or Photos mode it will contain all photos in the library. Yes, strange behavior.

How can I delete bookmarks that aren't in a folder (unorganized)?

When I click on "Organize Bookmarks" I don't find a way to get to the bookmarks that aren't organized into a folder. I'd like to delete some and to sort others into the folders, but none of these show up. There is an item in the left bar named "Unorganized Bookmarks" but when I highlight it, it shows nothing as if it were empty. Is there another way I can access those single bookmarks to sort them and delete them?
Thank you!
Christopher

Crazy K,
If you want to burn them, you need to have the song files physically on your local drive.
If they were purchased from one of the online stores that allows re-downloading (Amazon Digital Music, iTunes Store, etc.), just download new copies.

After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.

As the title indicates: After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.
The text conversations are still there; you can see that I used to be able to text anyone. But now I cannot.
I have followed several different fixes suggested in these forums, I have Restored my phone, I have Reset Network Settings, I have Reset All Settings, I have checked settings on several friend's phones. But I still cannot send or receive texts that are not iMessage texts.
This seems like a pretty big deal. People text more than they call. And I now have a phone that cannot text very many people.
It is so frustrating. I have spent so much time trying to get it to work.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
I don't know if this is a corrupted preference file or not, but it sure can't hurt to try this.
If Mail is open, Quit Mail.
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Drag that .plist file to the Desktop. Launch Mail and see if you can send or receive e-mail. If you can, that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new preference file for you the next time you launch Mail.
Also... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

IPhone 4s - iTunes sync includes 1000 extra songs that aren't on my phone or iTunes

iPhone 4s 32GB
MacBook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
1 TB hard drive (recently installed)
IOS: 7.1.2
OS: 10.6.8
iTunes 11.4 (18)
When my iphone 4s syncs with itunes the audio portion of the capacity graph says I have 2900 songs, or 18.22 GB of music. However, my phone only has 1949 songs on it ("1949" visible both in the Music app under the Songs tab, and in Settings/General/About), which amounts to around 16.41 GB.
The amount of available space listed fluctuates among different applications (iTunes, Settings, and iStat) but is always between 500 MB and 1 GB. If this takes into account that I only have 1949 songs then I should have at least 1 GB more free than I have. Instead, this seems to mean that there is space being taken up on my phone for almost 1000 songs that aren't anywhere to be found.
I have my phone synced to only one playlist, which has exactly 1949 songs. I have no music videos or movies synced.
This has been going on for quite some time now, and I have tried restoring my phone in the past but it did not help get rid of these 1000 nonexistent songs. My only thought is that it has something to do with purchased music on iTunes that I have deleted from my phone, yet somehow is still on my phone by some error. I have found no music on my phone that is not in my synced playlist, so I am truly at a loss as to what could be causing this.
I would love to have the extra space, and have been frustrated by this for a long time! Could anybody possibly help me out? I will be happy to provide more information if needed.
Thanks!

Make sure that your music is in the format supported by the iPhone. I use either MP3 or AAC.
A friend had the same problem a while back. All his music was in the WMA format and is therefore not playable on the iPhone and would not copy. Once he converted his songs to MP3 they copied to his iPhone without problem.

I can't get my Ipad to show up at all in Itunes. 1 How do I fix that and 2 Can I fix this without losing all of the videos and apps that aren't synched with my computer yet?

Two different apple ID's keep showing up that aren't mine.

I just got a new Ipad mini and it keeps prompting me to sign into apple ID's that aren't mine. I have mine registered but those two keep showing up for me to sign into. I returned 1 Ipad thinking that maybe it was used, but this one is doing it as well. Anyone else have this problem?

Where did you get all your music from? Did any come from PCs/Macs using programs like Senuti?

New Features in D11 (that aren't mentioned)

Anyone hear of those other workflow type features that aren't
mentioned in Adobe's marketing bulletpoints? I'm looking for
multiple undos/history, and inverted stage layers (so layers stack
from bottom to top -- so it'll be like every other flipping program
in the world).

Wow!

As for multiple Undo's, of course this can be solved. In
Flash this is sometimes slightly messy, but it works. You can open
a script and undo things you did there before you closed it. When
selecting the Stage, Timeline and Library (Cast) you have a
separate Undo buffers there, and so on. This is how it must work.
It's all about remembering positions and states, and as current
computers have abundance of memory this is no longer a concern.
