HELP:  I've created a mess!!

In an effort to free up space on my Macintosh HD I moved the "music" folder (120 GB) to another internal HD that had tons of room. This folder contains essentially all the content in itunes. When I opened itunes it said that all the files were missing or had to be "re-joined" or "re-connected" since each music track had an explanation mark next to it. I then went File--Add to Library--and highlighted the content of the music folder and it seemed to import everything back into itunes. EXCEPT...now I have two of everything, an over 200 GB library!
I thought I was being smart and now realize I've made a mess!
Thanks in advance,
Bill

golden rule: never use the finder to move iTunes content to another location
let iTunes move it for you:
(a) iTunes > preferences > advanced. change +*iTunes media folder location+* to the desired location.
on the same tab, ensure +*copy files to ... when adding to library+* is check marked.
(b) select (highlight) the content to be moved, right-click (or ctrl-click) and choose +consolidate files+ from the pop-up menu.
you can delete the original files from your startup disk when done.

    I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business.  The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me.  Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts.  Please advise me on the steps necessary for removing these duplicates and establishing a syncing solution that doesn't regenerate the duplicates.  There are several applications available that remove duplicates, but I am not sure which ones work or don't work.  I want information on this, but most importantly I want to understand how to fix this problem permanently.  Also, I read somewhere that Mac's new operating system, Lion, can help deal with duplicates.  I don't have Lion, but I would be willing to get it, if this would fix the problem.

    Had the same problem with 4 devices (two computers, an iPhone and an iPod). The solution is simple: open the Address Book application in your mac, ask it to locate duplicate entries (under one of the top menu items, "edit" I think), and then ask it to consolidate them: it took me all of three seconds after I figured it out: worked like a charm! PS: if you have more than one mac with unconected Address Books, repeating the operation in the second one may be a good idea.

  • Have I created a mess?

    Hello and Thanks,
    The project I'm working on has lots of source material and I have most of it captured. The source materials is from different classes on different days and places.
    In the media file name I used the date with slashes (1/11/07.) Ultimately it will need to be transfered to a Windows PC environment instead of a Mac. I have not done any editing, I will be editing on a Mac and will be transfering to Windows when it is a completed movie. Will my original media file names create a mess in the PC world? Will it not matter at all because it will be exported as a completed movie?
    This is my first FCP project—I appreciate the help I've gotten with the capture issues. I wanted to know if I need to rename my media files before editing.
    Thanks again, Terese

    Will my original media file names create a
    mess in the PC world? Will it not matter at all
    because it will be exported as a completed movie?
    I don't know that your original media names will create a mess unless you want to edit that final piece once you move over to PC. It sounds to me like you only taking the final movie to PC and not all of the additional media files.
    In other words, are you planning to export the movie, say, via quicktime as a whole piece that will not be manipulated on the PC?

  • Help need to create a query

    I need to fetch records from a table. Please help me to create a query
    The Tablename is Employee. It has the following records
    Department Empname Gender
    Finance Tom Male
    Finance Rick Male
    Finance Stacy Female
    Corporate Tom Male
    Corporate Rob Male
    I want to select the value of the Gender field from the Employee table corresponding to a Department
    If all the values in the Gender field are 'MALE' corresponding to 'finance' in the Department field, the value should be 'MALE'
    If there is a value 'FEMALE', the gender corresponding to the Empname 'TOM' should be considered as the gender

    Tables have rows - not records.
    Your question is a basic SQL language question - which means you do not know the SQL language. This forum is not a classroom for teaching you the SQL language.
    Use the following as the basic outline of how your SQL language statement need to look like for selecting the required from the table:
    SELECT
      <<sql projection goes here>>
    FROM <<table name goes here>>
    WHERE <<filter conditions go here>>
    {code}
    The SQL projection specifies the list of columns the SQL need to return to the caller.
    The filter condition is basic predicates and AND and OR  can be used for multiple predicates.
    Go to http://tahiti.oracle.com and look for the +SQL Reference Guide+ for the Oracle version you are using. The +SELECT+ statement syntax is covered in detail and sample statements are provided.
    And please do not expect this forum to be used as a classroom, or expect this forum to do your homework for a class.

  • Help Needed in creating dropdown menu in excel using JXL

    Hi,
    I am trying to create dropdown menu in using JXL.
    The Code:
    private void createRequiredRows(WritableSheet writableSheet, List unallowCodeList,int rowCount
                   , int startRowNo,int colCount) throws WriteException {
    Label unallowCode = null;
              WritableFont noBoldFont = new WritableFont(WritableFont.ARIAL, 8,WritableFont.NO_BOLD);
              WritableCellFormat dropDownCellFormat = new WritableCellFormat(noBoldFont,new NumberFormat("000"));
              dropDownCellFormat.setAlignment(Alignment.RIGHT);
              WritableCellFeatures writableCellFeature = new WritableCellFeatures();
              writableCellFeature.setDataValidationList(unallowCodeList);
              for (int rowNo = startRowNo; rowNo < startRowNo + rowCount; rowNo++) {
                   unallowCode = new Label(colCount, rowNo, "Select",dropDownCellFormat);
                   unallowCode.setCellFeatures(writableCellFeature);
                   writableSheet.addCell(unallowCode);
    it creates a drop down in the Excel.
    But writableCellFeature.setDataValidationList(unallowCodeList); has a limitation of characters .So the dropdown menu gets truncated when it exceeds the limitation.
    Can anyone help me in creating dropdown menu in excel without any limitation using JXL..
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I dont know the solution for this, but heres a work arround
    //create new label some where else in the excel sheet as shown below
    Label lblcmbdata;
    for(int i=0; i<1000; i++)
                 lblcmbdata = new Label(75, i, (i+1)+" satish", format);
                 sheet1.addCell(lblcmbdata);
    }//set the validation range as shown below
    writableCellFeature.setDataValidationRange(75,0,75,1000);
    Label cmb = null;
    cmb = new Label(0, 1, "Select",format);
    cmb.setCellFeatures(writableCellFeature);
    sheet.addCell(cmb);this will create a combo list with 1000 values
    also you can keep the data to be populated in the different sheet in same workbook by creating a named range as below
    workbook.addNameArea("cmbdata", sheet1, 0, 0, 0, 1000);
    // then fill the data in sheet1
    Label lblcmbdata;
    for(int i=0; i<1000; i++)
                    lblcmbdata = new Label(0, i, (i+1)+" satish", format);
                    sheet1.addCell(lblcmbdata);
    //set the validation named range as below
    writableCellFeature.setDataValidationRange("cmbdata");
    Label cmb = null;
    cmb = new Label(0, 1, "Select",format);
    cmb.setCellFeatures(writableCellFeature);
    sheet.addCell(cmb);Thanks and Regards

  • Help me in creating a Trigger for Insert and Update Options

    Hi
    Please help me in creating a Trigger .
    My requirement is that after insert or update on a Table , i want to fire an event .
    I have started this way ,but doesn't know how to fully implement this .
    say i have a dept table
    CREATE TRIGGER DepartmentTrigger
    AFTER INSERT ON Dept
    BEGIN
    INSERT INTO mytable VALUES("123","Kiran");
    END DepartmentTrigger;
    Please tell me how can i put the Update option also .
    Thanks in advance .

    Please tell me how can i put the Update option also .Add "Or Update". ;-)
    Here are a few suggestions, but you definitely need to refer to the manual page that the previous poster suggested.
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER DepartmentTrigger
    AFTER INSERT Or Update ON Dept
    BEGIN
    INSERT INTO mytable VALUES(:new.Dept,'DEPT ADDED OR CHANGED');
    END DepartmentTrigger;
    The "Or Replace" means you can replace the trigger while you're developing without having to type in a drop statement every time. Just change and rerun your script, over and over until you get it right.
    Adding "Or Update" or "Or Delete" makes the trigger fire for those events too. Note, you may want seperate triggers in different scripts and with different names for each event. You have to decide if your design really does the same thing whether it's an insert or an update.
    :new.Dept is how you would refer to the changed vale of the Dept column (:old.Dept is the prior value). I changed the double quotes on the string in the VALUES clause to single quotes.

  • Help needed to create a CSS 'style-switcher' button.

    Hi,
    I need some help please in creating alternate style sheets for each page on a site I'm creating to enable users to change text size (i.e. small, normal and large options - sometimes, symbolized as a letter 'A' in varying sizes). The site has been built in basic format so far but I would like to add these features for the sake of usability. There are no actual problems with the site as it currently works fine, it's just this one thing I need help with.
    Is this possible using post-processing methods, (which I have no problem doing) and if so could someone kindly point me in the right direction? I've searched the iWeb forum using keywords most relevant to this question and have found nothing.
    Any help greatly appreciated,

    This works (partially): this is the page:
    http://www.charitydesigns.com/odyssey/index.html
    The first paragraph is not responding and at larger sizes line spacing is not in proportion to the size of the text (and is squashed), what am I doing wrong?
    Hope you can assist.

  • (Need Help) How to create Numeric text box in SVG

    Hello everyone,
    Can any one help me to create Numeric TextField in SVG? I'm struggling to do this please someone help me as soon as possible....
    Thanks In advance,
    Ulaga

    To get the best answers, I think you probably need to break down your post into several different one with a separate question in each, along with the business problem you are trying to solve... but here's a few pointers for you to research...
    Textbox - there's plenty of info in SDN on creating a custom control with a textbox e.g. Re: Text Editor on modulepool Screen and sample code in SAP too.
    Attachments - If this is for an email, then GUI_UPLOAD might help and the BCS class is the newer way to send messages... check out Re: Offline Approval: RBBP_NOTIFICATION_OFFAPP Vs RSWUWFMLEC for example... if this is an attachment for an SAP object such as an FI Document or Purchase Order, then the Generic Object Services (GOS) could be what you want e.g. https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0e6b0d95-0a01-0010-4696-ca0a48de5fb3

  • [Help] - How to create BP many times.

    Dear all,
    Pls help..
    i created Business Partners(BP) many times (use FM: COM_BPUS_BUPA_CREATE)
    This is the code:
    LOOP AT lt_mstcust INTO ls_mstcust.
    i FILL data cust that want to be created.
      CALL FUNCTION 'COM_BPUS_BUPA_CREATE'
        EXPORTING
          IV_PARTNERCATEGORY         = partner_cat
          IV_BUSINESSPARTNERGROUP    = lv_bpgroup
          IS_CENTRALDATA             = ls_central
          IS_CENTRALDATAORGANIZATION = ls_organ
          IS_ADDRESSDATA             = ls_address
          IV_ACCEPT_ERROR            = 'X'
          IV_BUSINESSPARTNERROLE     = lv_bprole
        IMPORTING
          EV_BUSINESSPARTNER         = lv_bpnumber
        TABLES
          IT_TELEFONDATA             = lt_telephone
          IT_FAXDATA                 = lt_fax
          ET_RETURN                  = lt_return.
        CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
          EXPORTING
            WAIT   = ''
          IMPORTING
            RETURN = lt_return.
    ENDLOOP. 
    end of code.
    The strange problems:
      Not all BP that i created saved in table BUT000, although all BP number was generated after running that FM.
      So i can say after i run the LOOP, i got all bp number. BUT, some of bp numbers were not found in table BUT000. It means when i run TCODE: BP and i entered BP number that were not found in BUT000, error message (bp is not found) would be raised.
    Do u have any solutions for it?
    Or are there others creating BP FM that can be run in LOOP (can create BP in many times)?
    Please help y..
    Ur help is very important for me.
    Regards.
    Daniel N.

    Hi Daniel,
    You can try out one of the following.
    1. Call the function module "COM_BPUS_INPUTDATA_CHECK" before the function module "COM_BPUS_BUPA_CREATE"
    2. Instead of calling the function module "COM_BPUS_BUPA_CREATE" Try calling "BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA" and then commit and then call "COM_BPUS_BUPA_ROLE_ADD"
    3. Try removing the flag IV_ACCEPT_ERROR = 'X' from the function module call.
    4. In the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT pass a value 'X' to the parameter WAIT.
    Let me know if this helps!
