Help...I can't get rid of duplicate playlists on my ipod..

Just got a new computer, and copied itunes library from my old computer successfully. However, when I synched my ipod to the computer, I now have duplicate playlists...just the "apple" ones (Recently Added, Recently played, etc.) ones I have named myself are fine. I tried to restore and re-synch, and same problem...it's not life-threatening, but very annoying!! Thanks

Do these playlists appear multiple times in iTunes? If so, delete them from iTunes and then re-sync the iPod.

How can I get rid of duplicate birthdays in icloud Calendar, especially when there are no Contacts in the iCloud? Case ID: 365381395

How can I get rid of duplicate birthdays in icloud Calendar, especially when there are no Contacts in the iCloud? Case ID: 365381395

Found the answer myself while helping to set up iPhone. It is simple when you know how. Before signing out of iCloud to sign in again and restore the link to Photo Stream I had opted to copy iCloud contacts to the Mac. When I signed in again this created two iCloud views which can be seen in Contacts Preferences. I just disabled one of them. Not brave enough to attempt removal but I gues this would work too.

How can I get rid of duplicates in a project without deleting them one by one?

What kind of duplicates? Did you import the same image file several times? Aperture does not have any built-in tools to detect duplicates. You will have to do delete the one by one. You could arrange the images by date, so that duplicates are shown side by side in the Browser. Or use a tool like Duplicate Annihilator (the program is not free). I have never tested it but some do recommend it.

I can't get rid of duplicate songs on my iphone or in the itunes.Help

I cannot get rid of duplicate songs on my iphone or on the itunes player on my computer. I also cannot get my songs to play on my iphone in shuffle mode. It just plays the same song over and over again. Any lovely geeks out there?

Welcome to the forums.
If you have duplicate songs in iTunes you ought to be able to find them by using the "Find Duplicates" function and erase them by highlighting them all and pressing delete. Remember, though, that songs are not necessarily recognized as duplicates if they don't have the same tags (that is, a song can be duplicated but with a slightly different song title and iTunes cannot recognize it as a duplicate and it would be up to you to delete it manually).
Once you've cleaned up iTunes it will automagically clean up your iPhone when you sync it. So work on getting iTunes in order first.
People have complained about shuffle mode on the iPhone. One thing you can do is to create a smart playlist that selects the songs you want and does it randomly. You may have to create one or more of these depending on how you listen to music, but they will indeed give you "shuffled" songs.

Can I get rid of duplicate or empty folders in contacts without using a computer?

Is there a way to get rid of duplicate folders and empty folders in contacts without using a computer?

If you don't have iTunes you will need to buy the song from the iTunes store and download it that way. If it is a custom track you may be out of luck. The only way to get a song on your device without iTunes involves jailbreaking it.
iOS is set up to prevent people from emailing each other songs, videos, movies, books, etc. This is how Apple got their contracts with the content providers by promising that they would do what ever it takes to prevent people from sharing content that they didn't pay for.

Help! Can't get rid of unwanted volume; machine won't shut down

Hi everyone,
This afternoon I used my Maxtor backup (external firewire drive). After I was done with the backup, I clicked "eject" on the disk icon. I may have physically disconnected the disk too soon after that because I got a message saying the disk might have errors on it because I didn't properly eject it. But I didn't worry about it at the time. Tonight when I attempted to shut down my Mac, it would not shut down... and I discovered that there is a volume on the desktop which is the entire contents of the Maxtor back up. I cannot eject it or discard it, and I have the feeling that is the cause of this problem of not being able to shut down. What do I do? The volume does NOT appear on the disk utilities, so I can't reformat it... In any case, it's not really connected to the computer. Feeling a bit scared. Everything else seems to be functioning normally... Help!

Thanks Klaus. I actually fixed this right after I wrote the post. I manually shut down the Mac, then turned it back on, and the volume was gone. I should point out that when I had the Maxtor hooked up to the Mac, I was getting two volumes for one Maxtor drive -- one looked like the regular hard disk icon, the other (the one that wouldn't go away) was a folder with the same title (Maxtor) and was identified in the "Get Info" command as a volume. I was able to eject the regular icon Maxtor, but never the folder. I guess this was some kind of ghost volume... In any case, shutting down the Mac manually seemed to get rid of this problem.

Help! Can I get rid of something?

I purchased Adobe Creative Suite CS2, upgraded to CS3.3 and now just upgraded to CS4. My question is, do I have to keep the CS2 and/or the CS3.3 on my computer or can I remove them? If I can remove them, do I have to uninstall them before I trash them? I really need to know what I can get rid of or if I have to keep them on there because my computer is acting weird and I don't know if all these programs are draining it's memory. Can anyone give me the answer I seek? It's much appreciated if you can!

Okay, .Buko... I now use a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac computer, which has Mac OS X version 10.5.6 on it. For my old G4 Mac, I bought CS2 Design Standard as my first CS version, so I would think that it has to stay since it's basically my "base" software (if you understand what I'm trying to say). Since I upgraded from CS2 to 3.3 and then upgraded to CS4, I would think it would be okay to remove CS3.3 from my computer but I don't know for sure. I suppose I could just throw one away and if it doesn't work, start all over. I guess what I need to know is, when you upgrade a software do you have to keep the previous one on the computer in order for the upgrade to work? CS4 is already installed, I just don't like the idea that 3 versions of CS are on my hard drive, and I need to know if one or both of the previous versions can be removed. Can anyone help me with this question? Please, let me know if you can! Thanks a bunch for starting to help, .Buko. I hope I have helped you more by giving you some insight into the computer I use.

Help I can't get rid of the beach ball in system preferences!

Hi,
I have an iMac OS X 10.8.3. Every time I go to system preferences to change my screen saver I immediatley get the beach ball and the enire thing freezes up. I can't do ANYTHING within system referneces and I can only get out by 'force quit'. We've tried everything we can think of. This is a new glitch because we used to be able to change our photos in screen saver all the time. It is super frustrating and it slows down everything. Does anybody know what could possibly be happening and if there is a way around this?
Thanks

Quit System Preferences if it's running. In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:
Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
and move the following item to the Desktop:
Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

LIVEWIRE!!! Help I can't get rid of it

My friend downloaded Livewire to my PC and it is now a folder in my iTunes sidebar. When I am trying to build new playlists etc they are added as a subfolder under my iPod but when I am trying to download songs to my nano it is only giving me the option to pick playlists that are a subfolder of the Livewire folder. So when I try to update ipod uding the "only checked playlists" option, the options given are subfolders of the Livewire folder and not the playsists I am making that fall under the iPod folder. I tried to remove Livewire from my computer via add/remove fies but is is still in my iTunes. How do I get rid of this??
Thanks

How can I get rid of the playlist bar in the music player?

Hello everyone! I want to know if I can get rid of the transparent playlist bar which shows over the cover artwork in the music player (ios 6) or Lagu. When I play one song alone, the artwork shows fully and that's how I would like it to be when playing playlists. Is there a way? In the ios 7 the artwork this does not happen, but the artwork is smaller and on a white background, which I don't like either. Thank you.

Sounds like you installed a Yahoo optimized version of Firefox.
You can download the official version of Firefox from here. <br />

HELP! Can't get rid of blue apple menu

I got a new iMac for Christmas and I was trying to move bookmarks and such from Firefox to the new computer. I was following instructions through them using terminal. Now, I have this blue apple heading up the apple menu instead of the normal gray/black one and my finder isn't the same. I tried to start mail after a restart and it acts as though its the first time I had ever used it. Please someone help. I have tried to restart. But still the blue apple at the apple menu.
Please note - this is all done on my old PowerMac G4 Running OSX 10.4.11 not my new iMac. But I need to get more stuff off of it. And, in case you were wondering - It never did work to get my stuff from FireFox either. Going about it a different way - with an add-on. But really need to get my Mac back.
Also in the terminal window I am looking at the following:
[G4:~] tina%
Thanks in advance

OK - Here goes. I was trying to figure out how to transfer all my bookmarks, passwords, etc. from Firefox to my new iMac, as I use Firefox as my main browser. When doing the research, I came across these instructions.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferringdata_to_a_new_profile_-Firefox
In these instructions it said I have to create an new profile to copy to in doing this I have to open the Profile Manager. Which the instructions are here.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/ProfileManager#Accessing_the_ProfileManager
Basically on that page it tells me to quit Firefox, go to Terminal and type in
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -profilemanager
Which I did and nothing happened. It goes on to tell you that if it doesn't work then type it in without -bin. Which I did.
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -profilemanager
Again - Nothing happened. Being uncomfortable with Terminal (because I had never used it before) I said screw it and went to the File menu and chose Quit.
Well, when I started Terminal my Apple heading up the Apple menu turned blue exactly like the picture you sent me. What to do? In my mind a restart fixes everything. Not so. Did a restart and I still have the blue apple. In addition to that, my Desktop is different. Like my desktop pictures are not showing (they are all Pepsi) and it has gone back to a default one, my dock must be the default one as it does not have the applications I added to it (Firefox, Preview, Quicken, etc.) it is also anchored at the bottom of the screen, whereas mine was hidden on the right. It doesn't announce the time anymore, etc. I think you get the idea. The files on my desktop (documents, folders, etc) are there but when I tried to start Mail to check it - It acted as if it was the first time I ever started Mail - no mailboxes, and was starting to take me through the set up procedure. So I quit that and started searching online for how to get out of this terminal mess. I went back to terminal and tried entering 'exit' and it closed a window but nothing else. Then I had another thought - ONCE IN A WHILE when I restart my computer it goes to this black and white screen and says "Welcome to Darwin etc..." and tells me if I want to start up to enter 'mac-boot' or 'shut-down'. So I typed in mac-boot and it said command not found.
So, here I sit. My old computer hasn't been touched since then. I am doing all this on my new one. I don't even know if I can get online. I'm afraid to touch it. So- I can't really do a screen image. So, besides for my funky desktop that I have already told you about I am looking at a terminal window hat has "Terminal - tsch - 80x24" as the heading of the window.
Inside the window it says:
Last login: Wed Dec 30 07:58:20 on ttyp1
Welcome to Darwin!
[G4:~] tina% mac-boot
tsch: mac-boot: Command not found.
(On a strange note I wanted to mention that there are brackets around G4:~, but for whatever reason I noticed they did not show up on the original post I made here on the discussions,and I wanted to mention in in case they don't again).
As for your other questions: The machines are connected wirelessly. As I planned on moving most of my stuff via an external MyBook I use. At this point I have only moved my iPhoto Library this way. Then I stared with Firefox stuff. So my iMac is untouched by this Firefox nonsense. I will (hopefully) be able to get on my original FireFox account from my G4 and use an XMarks add-on (I wish I had found before all this) to sync my bookmarks and passwords to my new computer.
I have not used the disk utility yet- as you mentioned. I am just getting back at this this morning. I also have not did the list of commands you gave me. Call me a little gun shy - but do I type it in exactly as you have it written or do I not add the numbers and those are just there as steps for me to follow? Sorry. I am afraid to touch this machine.
One last note. My G4 has been on all night. I checked the display this morning and it hasn't changed and it has now going to sleep after cycling a few times. I am going to assume this is a default setting.
Thank you so much for your help on this. I am so confused. I had no idea that Terminal could cause such a ruckus. I guess I should have taken a clue from it's name. The people from Firefox act like it's normal operating procedure and no big deal to use this program. Lesson learned. Thank you again..I look forward to your next reply.

How can I get rid of duplicate entries in iPad iCal?

This is kind of a repeat and I apologize, but I have duplicate entries now in my iCa on my iPad because of iOS5? Others on this same topic said something about deleting the whole iPad calendar. Before I did that, I wanted to be sure, that if I delete the iPad calendar, it won't delete the iMac calendar. I'm just not sure how to get one one iCal entry in my iPad calendar. I have birthdays, etc. entered until eternity!

I notice the mail setting in iTunes is set to sync, but all the others are set at syncing with iCloud. What about mail? Should it be syncing with iCloud, iTunes, or both (I assume not both, but......). I still don't have mail working with iCloud anyway so I'm not sure what should be happening there.
I would be consistent with respect to the information in the "Info" pane in iTunes. That is, if you want to sync Calendars, Contacts, and email, use either iCloud for all 3 (e.g., enable all 3 in iCloud and deselect all 3 from iTunes) or iTunes for all 3 (select all 3 in iTunes and disable all 3 in iCloud).... don't break them up across services.
