How do I create duplicates in place

I'd like to make a grayscale image with an octagon at the center and an identical rectangle radiating out from each flat side of the octagon. Is there a simple way to do this in Illustrator CS4? I made my octagon. Then added a rectangle position along one side. I dragged the rotation point of this rectangle to the center of the octagon, and I can now rotate this rectangle by 45 degrees each time to move it around my octagon. Not sure how to leave a copy of each rectangle in place, however. Regular paste just gives a new rectangle back at the center.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks for all three of the replies. All the information you guys provided was accurate, and each response gave a workable solution.
As to the point tallying thing (5 points for helpful answers ,10 for correct), I hope that's not a sore point for anyone. I was working on a 3D program when all 3 replies came in and I didn't want to try them out till my 3D was done for fear of crashing my computer. When I went through the responses and found all of them helpful, I wanted to try to give everyone credit. Wasn't sure if putting 'correct answer' on the first would close out the chance to add 'helpful' replies, so I put the first 2 replies as helpful and the last as 'correct' - not entirely fair for the first ones to post answers but it was the best i could come up with. So again, hope the 'points' aren't an issue, and thanks for the help.

How to not create duplicates in contacts & calendar on laptop #2

Ok. I have 2 laptops and someone how here helped me solve the duplicates issues on laptop #1 - it was only happening on the calendar side. Now i need to synch the same BB on a dif laptop.
I thougth I solved it when on laptop #1 the config is set that outlook always wins and on the desk top manaager on laptopo #2 I set it to say BB always wins. That said, when I synch bb w/ laptop #2 I get duplicate contacts and calendar.
Now that laptop #1 is almost solved what if I wipe out the PST folders on laptop #2 re- transfer the PST from laptop #1 and then synch?
Although I did that and I still get duplicates.
Then after laptop #2 messes up the bB the BB duplicates laptop #1 again. Obviously I can stop 1/2 the insanity but the objecitve is to have laptop #2 mirror laptop #
Thansk in advance muchly! M33climb

So a strange thing happened actually, I did like I explained previously and nothing happened but when I wrote an expression like (ID == 0?"ALLDAY":'ALLDAY') - where ID is just a PK property in the EO it worked. Practically it is the same thing but who knows, at least now it works.

How to create a new place in iPhoto 11 without doing any harm?

Yes, I know how to create a new place for a photo -- theoretically:
Select the photo.
Make sure the Info icon in the lower right portion of the iPhoto window is clicked and the too-tiny-for-any-but-the-youngest-eyes map is displaying.
Click in "Assign a Place..." and begin typing a place that iPhoto will search for. It searches in both "your places" (i.e., those that you have already defined) as well as in Google Maps.
When you see a place in the search results list that you think might be close to the one you mean, select it.
A pin appears on the itsy-bitsy map. Move it to the exact place you mean. You can make controls appear on the map by moving the mouse over the bottom of the map. The controls allow you to zoom in and out, and to change views (Terrain, Satellite, Hybrid). When the pin is where you want it, click it. The current name of the location appears. Modify it to the name you want, then click the check mark.
That's "all" there is to it ... except for a couple of "gotchas."
There's a difference between what happens when you select a place that you've defined and when you select a place that Google found in the search results. If it's a place that you've defined, and you then move the pin to a new location and/or change its name, this will affect all photos assigned to the custom place. In effect, you are modifying the place.
All places have a radius associated with them, thereby making them circles. You can adjust the radius only in the Maintain My Places window. In the itsy-bitsy map it doesn't even appear. However, if the newly defined place overlaps existing ones, all the photos assigned to the overlapped places will be assigned to the new one. Their pins will remain where they were.
Now, before anybody suggests sending feedback to Apple, let me emphasize that I have been sending Apple feedback on the wrong-headed implementation of Places since iPhoto 9.0. New versions have come and gone (the current one is 9.1.2), but these "features" have remained. So my purpose in opening this thread is to consolidate work arounds to these "features" in one place. My work around:
Whenever I define a new place, I select only a single photo. I try to name my places so that I can distinguish them from those that Google finds. In order to avoid Gotcha 1 I select a place that Google finds and try to place the pin close enough to where I want it, but far enough from any other places that I've defined. I give it a name that I can easily find it Manage My Place.
I immediately open Manage My Places and select the new place. I first note the pins near it, then decrease its radius, move the pin to the desired location, note the nearby places, and give it its final name.
I then view Places and navigate to the new place to view the photos assigned to it. If I'm lucky, there's only one. Otherwise, I have to reassign the other photos to their correct places.
Richard

So... in the hope it will not confuse folks more, let me be more specific of a procedure that works for me...
Procedure to create a new My Places location.
OK there is more you can do with a non-GPS Coord linked photo.
Click Info and then click Assign a Place in the lower right of screen. (if your photo has a location linked to it already the Assign a Place will NOT show up.)
Choose a location name near the actual location that Google Maps can find.
Click that location in the Google Maps list that appears and your photo will be temporarily assigned to that location.
Now type over that location name in order to make sure to give that location a unique name that will show up in your My Places list and click that name after you have typed it to be sure it is accepted.
Now in iPhoto click Window/Manage My Places and go the that newly named location in the large My Places map. There's no easy search. You have to run down through the alphabetical list.
Drag the flag to the location you want this place to be and click Done.
The location name is now in your My Places list at the location you dragged the flag to!
It is important to note that only your unique named locations show up in your Places list, so if you want to modify the location coordinates you have to establish a unique name for it.
This is much more complicated that previous iPhoto versions!
But Yeah!!!!!!!!!!
It really works!!!!!!!

How to make iTunes add a folder without creating duplicates?

Hello,
I have a PC running windows 7. I keep all my music in one folder on a NAS device. I am getting more and more fed up with Windows Media Player (WMP) and I would like to move to iTunes. This move, however, appears to be as painful as using WMP. Please help if you can. I have used iTunes before so I have an existing music and video library and I also have a number of playlists both with music and videos. I cannot afford to start from sratch, i.e., to remove and readd everything; it would be too costly. I have two major problems with iTunes:
1. When I try to add files that already exist in the iTunes library iTunes happily adds these file and creates duplicates. I cannot find a knob that would prevent iTunes from creating these duplicates and simply ignore any found files if they are already present in the library. All such duplicates point to the same file on disk. I am really scratching my head over this as I would think that this would be a very basic thing to do/allow, yet it does not seem to be possible. Is it me missing something simple here or is it Apple telling me that this is how it must be...???
All I want to do is to add the top folder that contains all my music without having to deal with thousands of duplicates. I cannot add the files one-by-one because there are too many of new files there and if I remove all the files and re-add them all my lists will likely become empty (tried it on one list and, as expected, the list got emptied once I removed the files that were in the list). Hmm, is this asking for too much? Please help.
2. I do not seem to see a way to tell iTunes to monitor for new media files. WMP allows you to specify folders to monitor. You add a file to the folder and the file gets added to the library. What is wrong or bad with this concept (other that it would not work if duplicates were handled)? Why does iTunes not seem to support that?
Thank you,
Peter

tt2, thank you for your reply. Let me restate your answers the way I see them.
Problem #1: You said that "iTunes only creates duplicates if you ask it to...". Well my goal is not to create duplicates but to avoid them and the problem with iTunes is that it does not seem to offer an easy way to do this. Do not get me wrong, I like iTunes but let's call black black and white white. So the way I read your answer is: no iTunes does not support a way to add the same folder twice without creating duplicates.
Problem #2: The answer to the second question is also no, iTunes does not offer any way to monitor for new files in a folder or folders.
I wish the above were incorrect but from what I hear and from what your wrote I conclude iTunes does not support any of that.
You offered external to iTunes solutions for both problems. Thank you for that! I did not know about this tools. Having said that my iTunes music files are on a NAS device (files not copied to iTunes library), my video files are on NAS but (because of the necessity to convert to iTunes supported format) they were transcoded and stored in iTunes library, my iTunes Store purchases (music) are in the iTunes library and on the NAS (backup - likely duplicates). In short it gets messy very quickly and after reading the NAS and multi-path warnings for the DeDuper tool I am just not jumping on the idea of using it - there would be physical duplicates and I would not want any physical files to be deleted. tt2, do you know if the DeDuper offers a mode where it would present the user with a list of duplicates and allow the user to decide which dups to remove before doing anything? I basically would want to remove the dups from the library but without deleting any physical files.
I will have a closer look at the iTunes Folder Watch program. Unless I am misinterpreting something I think it should do what I want to do.
So again, thank you for your answers and suggestions with the external tools. It is just too bad that iTunes does not support what I (and many others) need natively.

You want a "Drop Box" style folder. You should be able to achieve this by creating a folder and giving it permissions similar to the "Drop Box" folder in your users Public Folder (i.e. write only permissions.)

How do I create a "place" in iPhoto's Places list? Is this possible the way it's possible to create albums? Also, how do I assign a place to a photo or vice versa?

How do I create a "place" in iPhoto's Places list? Is this possible the way it's possible to create albums? Also, how do I assign a place to a photo or vice versa?

Select a Photo in the iPhoto Window and click on the 'i' button lower right. This uncovers the Info Panel, and you can assign a Place there. Search on the name of the place and then move the pin to where you want it. This is all covered in the Help and in the tutorials.

How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?

Hello!
How do I prevent Lightroom from creating duplicates if the edit in photoshop is not saved?
So... Quite often I choose to 'Edit in photoshop' from Lightroom but then end up not saving the result. (for example, because I just wanted to experiment with the photo, or I'm not satisfied with the results)
However, Lightroom always creates a copy of the original photo, which stays in the catalog even if the photoshop changes aren't saved.
Is there a way to stop this, and only add a photo if it has been edited in PS?
Using LR5 with PS CS6 on a Mac 10.9
THANK YOU!

Select 'Open the Image in PS as a Smart Object'. The image will be rendered by ACR in memory without being written to disc until you save it from within PS.

How can I avoid duplicates on contacts and how do I get contacts created on iPhone/ipad synchronized on my mac? so far it doesn't work correctly, just sometimes. same for icalendar

how can I avoid duplicates on contacts and how do I get contacts created on iPhone/ipad synchronized on my mac? so far it doesn't work correctly, just sometimes. same for icalendar

On your Mac, for duplicates, switching Contacts off then back on in System Preferences > iCloud may prevent duplicates.
On the iPhone / iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Make sure Contacts and Calendars are swtiched on.
Try restarting your Mac and your iOS devices when items won't sync as they should.
To restart an iOS device: Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging the tab to a new spot on your tab bar–you’ll see the little arrow show up, and you can drop the tab there. Once you’ve done so, you’ll see that the tab has been duplicated.

There's no "New File" shortcut in Finder on Macs, so you have to launch the application you want (eg TextEdit), create your document, and save it there. There are workarounds using Terminal (the touch command), AppleScript/Automator, and using third-party launch programs like Quicksilver, but natively, it can't be done.

I have taken over 9999 pictures with my phone and it is now creating duplicate names for the pictures starting back at 0001 making it difficult to manually upload my photos like i always have. How do i fix this?

I have taken over 9999 pictures with my phone and it is now creating duplicate names for the pictures starting back at 0001 making it difficult to manually upload my photos like i always have. How do i fix this?
(I tried to just write this as a reply to someone who had already asked the question whos problem was magically solved after posting the question and the site was not allowing me to post to it so here I am)

Additionally, when I try to sort the photos by date to easily extract the newest photos which I have not yet uploaded, it is unable to put them in correct order regardless of the fact that the date is correct. Only the videos end up in chronological order for some reason while the photos stay in order by name.

How do I create a duplicate image inside the same page? Then how do I change the color of that image

how do I create a duplicate image inside the same page? Then how do I change the color of that image from black to red?

Hello there!
Here is one way to create a duplicate image and colorize it. As you can see below, I have one image right now, that I want to duplicate.
My layers panel looks like below.
To duplicate your image, click the downward arrow on the right side of your Layer Panel.
Select Duplicate Layer. This will duplicate the layer that the image is on.
Select "OK" to approve the duplication.
As you can now see in the Layers panel, the image is duplicated. The new layer is now at the top of the Layer panel.
Now to colorize your image, go to Window > Adjustments.
The Adjustments panel will now be opened. Select the Hue and Saturation icon as seen circled in red.
The Hue and Saturation propertied panel will be opened. I selected "Colorize", and adjusted the hue and saturation bar to achieve the level red in my photo.
As you can see below, the image is now red.
Now i want to make sure only ONE of my image layers is red. I moved the Hue and Saturation layer to only be on top of the bottom layer. The image on the top layer now will not be affected by the red.
Select the move tool, so I can now move the image layers so we can see both of them.
With each image layer selected, you can take the move tool and move the images. I moved mine on top of eachother and you can see my red layer (bottom) and the non red layer (top).
I hope that helps. i have also included helpful links.
Please post back with any questions,
Janelle
