How can I find what's really in my Library?

After several problematic days, I finally installed iTunes 9.
The new version then imported multiple files (so fast I hardly saw what half of them were, but they were additional to all my regular/ previous files - things like voice memos and other stuff).
I notice that my memory usage has gone up considerably (even though I cannot see a lot of those new imported files in iTunes anywhere).
Question: how can I find (and get rid of) what those imported files were please? On my c: drive folder I can see the iTunes folder with album artwork, games, music, applications, previous libraries - but I think there is much more stuff hidden around somewhere - any ideas please?

What you see in your +My Music\iTunes+ folder is pretty much everything that takes up space. Be careful changing the files here, though. ITunes will not notice if you move or delete something, so the entry that points to it in iTunes will get a "!" mark. Better to review your libraries in iTunes and delete stuff you don't want, opting to move them to the Recycle Bin.
The only other place iTunes stores anything (except for its own .exe stuff in +Program Files+, of course) is in the hidden system folder Application Data. In your Windows XP, you can view this folder by opening a Run box ( +Start > Run+ ) and typing %appdata%.

    How can I find what apple ID I used to register my iMac when I first booted up? I am being told that by using this ID I will be able to go on to the App store and down load iPhoto at no cost. Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now and I only purchased my new iMac in December 2012
    Thanks....

    Launch Keychain Access and click on Login in the left hand pane and then on Passwords.  Next do search for Apple in the search field at the top and click on Apple ID Authenicication in the list that comes up.  That will give you the ID no. and password.

    De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

    I forgot my Security Question and Security Info email. How can I reset my Secret Question or how can I find what was my Security Info email is?

    You won't be able to view and/or change your rescue email address until you can answer your security question(s). If you only have one security question then you should be able to reset it according to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170 :
    Reset your security questions
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
    Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
    Select “Password and Security” on the left side of the page.
    If you have only one security question, you can change the question and answer now.
    If you have more than one security question:
    Select “Send reset security info email to [your rescue email address].” If you don't see this link or don't have access to your rescue address, contact Apple Support as described in the next section.
    Your rescue address will receive a reset email from Apple. Follow its instructions to reset your security questions and set up new questions and answers. Didn't receive the email ?
    After resetting your security questions, consider turning on two-step verification. With two-step verification, you don't need security questions to secure your account or verify your identity.
    If you have more than one question then as you can't remember your rescue email address then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

  • My iPhoto library just reverted to an old library: How can I find, and re-access my current library?

    My iPhoto library just reverted to an old library: how can I find and re-access my current library?  I opened my iPhoto, and got the message that it needed to "update" to use this library.  I thought maybe there had been a software update since I last opened the program (2 days ago).  The library it opened was saved in a file on the desk-top.  My current file was just in iPhoto.  Please help!

    Best option: Restore from your back up.
    Otherwise:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How can I find what scom group a specific server belongs to using powershell?

    Environment:  SCOM 2007 r2
    Server in question:  Running Windows 2003 Std. (yes I know this sounds crazy)
    Why do I need this:  I noticed at the console level we have had server unexpected shutdown events which are not generating email notifications. 
    Source shows: Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition
    Alert Rule:  Windows Shutdown Unexpectedly
    From what I see these are all windows 2003 server Std edition systems.  I did a track and trace using our exchange tracking system which confirmed the alerts were not being emailed. Not sure if there is a better approach for this, but not being a sql
    expert (however I do have someone I can leverage) I am trying to see if I can somehow extract this information using powershell.
    Secondary general question:  How can I find out the current size of our scom 2007 database and the number of objkects\servers being monitored? This is prep work for a migration over to 2012.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

  • How can I find what time a tab was opened in Safari?

    How can I find out what time a tab was opened in Safari?

    As of Safari 5.1.7 there does not appear to be a way to view the time in the browser, but it is still possbile to find from the raw history file. Open /Users/[yourusername]/library/Safari/History.plist in a text editor. Depending on how your text editor reads the file, you may see a lot of garbled text, but you should still be able to find the URL that you want the time for. After the URL you may see the page's title, but should also see a left square bracket followed by numbers.
    Example:
    _?http://www.apple.com/_Apple[377832904.6o
    The integer is an Apple timestamp (number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 2001). Find a timestamp calculator online to get the actual time for your timestamp. In the example above, Apple was visited on Dec 21 2012 at 17:35:04 PST.
    Cheers.

  • How can I find what Event a photo is in when that photo is found via Faces?

    I've stumbled upon a photo via the Faces category. I do not know what Event this photo exists in, but I'd like to know (this same issue can occur with a photo found via Places of course too). How do I find out what Event this photo exists in? Of course I can pull the date or title data from the photo and then search for that data and visually find the photo from the search results, but I would assume there would be a much much easier method.
    None of the information data seems to contain any event data. I would think each photo would contain information as to what Event it currently resides in.

    Wait until iPhoto is done scanning for new images in the ".. might also be in the photos below" section, then right click (or Option-Click if your mouse has no right button) on the image, and in the last group of the menu that pops up should be an item "Show Event". While it's still scanning for more faces, the "Show Event" menu item isn't shown yet.

  • How can i find custom fields in a document library?

    Hi, guys.
    I need your help, please.
    My users sometimes creates custom columns i document libraries using the SharePoint GUI. That's fine, but I need to distinguish these columns from SharePoints own columns. So here's my task at hand:
    I need to find all the fields (columns) for a document in a document library that were added by a user, i.e. NOT SharePoint standard fields. Is there a way to do this, like a property or something?
    In my case, I have an event receiver triggering on ItemUpdated. The following snippet iterates through all fields of my item and I can read the item title and the item value.
    How can I filter this to only show title and value of
    custom fields?
    foreach (SPField field in properties.ListItem.Fields)
    string title = field.Title;
    string value = string.Empty;
    if (properties.ListItem[field.Title] != null)
    value = properties.ListItem[field.Title].ToString();
    // Do something with 'title' and 'value'
    Again, the code above gives me ALL columns and I only want columns created by users. If it's possible, I'd like to skip custom content type fields.

    Hi,
    There is a custom column “CustomField1” in my library, after running the code, the output would be:
    In fact, these fields do not exist in the
    SPBuiltInFieldId object:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spbuiltinfieldid_members.aspx
    As the documentation about these fields seems not being documented so well at this moment, to avoid the influence in your solution, you can exclude these fields explicitly
    in the if block.
    Thanks

  • Restored my Macbook Pro but my iTunes content was saved on a separate partition. When I re-setup iTunes the status bar reports 30gb less content than my iTunes Music folder. How can I find what is 'missing'?

    My Macbook Pro software was failing and the Apple Store was able to restore it without removing the partition on my hard drive that contained most of my files including all my iTunes content. Initially when I re-setup my library I simply went to file--> add to library. Shortly after I realized that was essentially copying the library to the other portion of the partition because I forgot to change the location of the library. So I deleted the content already copied & then I re-setup the library, by asking it to be pulled from the previous location using this pages advice: iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
    It appeared to work & everything I thought was imported. But on closer inspection, it appears that I have 30gbs less appearing on the status bar in the iTunes app than I do when I pull up the info on the iTunes Music folder in my finder. I'm not sure if this means somehow I have 30gbs of duplicates in my finder folder or if (most likely) I somehow didn't fully import the library from that file. Any advice? Is there a way to restore iTunes to factory settings again & set it up correctly this time?
    Also I never actually trashed the original content I accidentally transferred to the other drive but when i skimmed those in my trash bin it appears they ARE indeed in iTunes, so I have no clue what didn't actually import. Any ideas?! I'd greatly appreciate it!

    You could have all the computers point to the same library but it can't be opened by more than one at any time.
    No answer for knowing which library is in use other than selecting it at startup.  This question gets asked here occasionally but I don't think it is a high-demand feature since most people have just one library.  I guess you could put in an empty playlist with the library name so you have an identifier.

    I have an unsatisfiedlinkerror and the message is no
    jicmp in java.library.path.
    can anyone tell me how to
    do System.out.println and the path???System.getProperty() will retrieve the Java-defined system properties. You can use the following code to determine the available values:
    public static void main( String [] args ) {
    java.util.Properties p = System.getProperties();
    java.util.Enumeration keys = p.keys();
    while( keys.hasMoreElements() ) {

  • "Other Storage" (yellow bar) on Iphone4; how can I find this to clean it up?

    I have almost 6 gigs of "other" being used on my phone. With only 413 mb of space, I really need to clean this up. How can I find what is under this catergory and delete??
    Thanks,
    Carly

    An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" included corrupted files.  Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    Also see this previous discussion:
