How do I make a backup and get rid of duplicates?
I have so many duplicate photo's- I want to get rid of it, but how? ANd how do I make a save backup first?
To make a back up you simply back up your iPhoto Library, which is in your Pictures Folder. You can do this by copying it to an external disk, by using a back up utility such as DejaVu or Chronosync (there are many other possibilities, search on MacUpdate). You can also make a back up by burning to disk.
As for Duplicates: check out Duplicate Annihilator

When I'm bouncing a project, it freezes or doesnt stop bouncing and keeps going past its cut off. how do i make it stop and get back to normal?

you do have to actually define the area to be bounced in the dialogue window that comes up - there are some discrepencies in the way that the program behaves like that,
Apart from the "Include Audio Tail" function, which can leave Logic bouncing for a very, very long time, there are generally, no discrepancies regarding the Bounce Locators:
If Cycle is enabled, the bounce locators will be set to the cycle locators.
If Cycle is off, and regions are selected, the bounce locators will be set to the selection.
If cycle is off, and no regions are selected, the bounce locators will be set from the Project Start to the project end.
It is smart to actually check that the bounce locators are set where you would like them to be.

If you get caught with a bounce that does not stop, Command . (period) should do the trick.

time machine: I get the following message: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Clemens’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use - what to do? Where and how do I find that file and get rid of it?
I'm on Mountain Lion and have version 6.1 of AirPort utility so there is no button to "Disconnect All Users"and the only other option of "removing and re-selecting the drive via Time Machine Prefs" doesn't work either. So this will work.
Launch Airport Utility and select the TC "Edit" button, then select the Disks tab. Deselect "Enable File Sharing" and click "Update". The TC will reboot then follow the same procedure and reselect "Enable File Sharing" and click "Update". After TC reboots again you'll be up and running. Not the neatest way to do it but saves having to unplug the TC which risks disk damage and the whole procedure takes less than a minute.The "Enable File Sharing" button seems to have replaced the "Disconnect All Users" button but with the slight disadvantage that it reboots the TC which takes up additional time. -

Any way to search for and get rid of duplicate songs?
Is there any way to recognize and then get rid of duplicate songs? I copied some songs from a different computer and ended up duplicating some of my existing songs. Any way to search for and then get rid of the duplicates?
The apple algorithm for detecting duplicates is not great. I did this yesterday on a library which had got bloated by various itunes 'organisations' and had 15000 songs in it and downloaded idupe. It seemed to work very well and got me down to 10,000 songs. 8USD shareware.

How to start from scratch with iCal (getting rid of duplicate iCal events)
For reasons I can't figure out, all my iCal events are duplicated 6 times in iCal. None of these events can be deleted (either by hitting the Delete key or via the Edit menu).
I tried using an AppleScript for this purpose (http://www.johnmaisey.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/applescripts/ ) but it doesn't work, at least on my 10.5.1 Mac.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to switch over to Daylite, for both my Calendar and Address Book functions, but until then, it'd be nice to start fresh with iCal, since I'm also trying out a .mac account for the first time, and it might be handy to have a clean calendar backup.
Is there a method for just starting fresh with iCal?see this thread that may help you with duplicate events: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1192813&tstart=0
hope this helps -
How to find/get rid of duplicates in iTunes 11?
I have to many duplicates on iTunes, and i know there was an option before to find and get rid of duplicates on the old version of itunes. is there a way to do it on the new iTunes 11?
Apple has removed that feature along with several others, but
(5/12/2012) Missing 'Find Duplicates' feature in iTunes 11 to be restored - http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57557280-263/missing-find-duplicates-featur e-in-itunes-11-to-be-restored/ "Some of the features Apple has removed from iTunes will see a return, but others may indicate changes to come elsewhere in Apple's product lines."
Until then you will have to resort to sorting by a particular label such as artist and manually scanning, third party utilities such as Dougscripts Dupin to deal with duplicates, or revert back to iTunes 10.7. -
Howto get rid of duplicates in iTunes but keep albums complete
I try to get rid of duplicates in iTunes but came across the following problem:
In File -> display duplicates tons of duplicates show up, but when I delete one file the entry is the itunes-library is deleted as well and I will miss this song in that specific album.
Is there a solution to refer to 1 file on disk with multiple entries in my library, to keep my albums complete with the correct ID3-tags (meta-data) and get rid of duplicate files on disk. This would save me a lot of space on disk.
Or is the correct way of avoiding copies of files in iTunes, to drag-in the file once and link with various album-playlists to it? Then you still missing the possibility of saving meta-data of those playlist-links, right?iTunes does not have the ability to show just one file in multiple albums. So you'll have to keep the multiple files for multiple albums.

How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?
How can I make a backup from my Macbook Pro?
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
drive being backed up.
See Mac Basics- Time Machine. Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver. -
How i can make a backup without separate hdd?
How i can make a backup without seperate hdd?
how i can partition the hd? please step by step...
today it's my first apple-day ... i was 18 years windows user
While I agree with everyone else, get a second disk and backup to that disk, I will point you in the directory of partitioning.
Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
Disk Utility may or may not be able to carve a new partition out of your existing partition, depending on whether the end of the current partition is unused so the current partition can be reduced in size and a new partition added.
It may be necessary to use an external disk, clone your internal disk using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner (both free to use when creating a full clone), then partition your internal disk, and finally restore the external clone to the internal disk again using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
If you do not want to get a 2nd disk, then consider using an on-line service such as CrashPlan, Carbonite, Mozy, etc... for the files you absolutely cannot aford to loose. -

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer

How to install OSX on 2nd HD and get rid of 1st HD?
(thanks to this forum) I managed to install a second HD on my MacPro (I have to specify that I'm degree below z-e-r-o in hardware...).
now, my second HD appears on the desktop (it's set for 1 partition in D.U.)
AND THE BIG QUESTION IS:
HOW CAN I INSTALL OSX ON THIS NEW DISK AND GET RID (once it's done) OF THE OLD CRAPPY SEAGATE HD?
I know that it can be 'cloned' (I've read about for that here on the forum) but, is this the best thing to do? or shall I restart from the original APPLE CD? but how to do that...?
thanks!Why is your Seagate "crappy?" Is it not behaving well in some manner? Because if you were to clone, the exact software issues that it has would appear on the clone. If you simply erase and install on the second empty hard drive, none of the other hard drive's software issues would be present. However, I would make sure your data is backed up before installing anything, and attempt to isolate whatever issues you are having first. If there is nothing on the second hard drive, you can go ahead and install and find out if you have the same issues on that drive. Erase and install is one of the installation options from the installation disks included with your Mac Pro. Be careful not to erase and install your original hard drive unless you are totally backed up as my FAQ explains:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
P.S. in case you didn't realize it, on the internet using ALL UPPERCASE means you are attempting to shout and be rude. Please avoid it so people don't misunderstand you. -
How do you make a backup of iPhoto?
I've heard people talking about making a backup of iPhoto in case it ever stops recognizing photos or something else goes wrong. I've tried to find how to do this but I couldn't find any solutions that I could actually understand. So I was just wondering if any one could explain it to me in simple terms.
Thanks.See the tip at the end of my signature for a way to backup the dB file, Library6.iPhoto, quickly and easily.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
