How to avoide multiple duplicate entries in adress book?

How to avoide multiple duplicate entries in adress book? I can add the same contact name and number more than twice and the phone isn't warning me at all!!! I's quite a heck for me.

not possible from inside AB AFAIK. but you can do the following. in finder open the folder /users/username/library/application support/address book/metdata. switch to the list mode and sort by date modified. quicklook the vcards at the top to see which ones they are.

How to delete multiple duplicates of multiple songs?

How to delete multiple duplicates of multiple songs from my library at the same time, rather than each individually?

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See thisthread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

How to delete duplicate entries in address book

Is there an easy way to delete duplicate entries in Address Book?

I have an iPhone where I create new contact details and a MB Air running OX X 10.7.3
In Address Book I see duplicate entries across the whole book. The other day I was traveling without my MB and needed to urgently reach someone who's number I knew was in my iPhone contact list for sure but searched and search and couldn't find it.
Turns out that when I had been going through the Adress Book on the MB Air trying to eliminate some of the duplicates I had chosed --without even knowing it or realzing it-- the card that I guess sync with my iPhone. It was gone. Sure enough, when I got back and looked it up on the MB Air it was still there not syncing to my iPhone.
I have used Address Book / Card / Look for Duplicates ...
I have also followed the Help suggesting and pressed Control / select to highlight two duplicate cards and even though the First / Last / Company / phone numbers / etc. are all the same I get the message: "The cards could not be merged because they came from different accounts."
I have checked with guys from the office who have the exact same problem with no idea how to solve the problem.
Is it that in order to use Address Book on both an iPhone and an OS X machine you've just got to be smarter, more sophisticated, more IT oriented?
Seems like a pretty easy thing not to be struggling with.
I should mention that I was a Mobile Me subscriber and now use iCloud which I'm sure has something to do with all of this.
But it seems pretty basic to me. If I have an Address Book it should synchronize between OX X and IOS.

How to avoid multiple copies of data in page refresh

How to avoid multiple copies of data in page refresh

If you are talking about a page with an insert query, ignore the fact that it's a page refresh. It's just another way that someone can insert duplicate records. I like to handle this in my insert query.
insert into thetable
(f1, f2, etc)
select distinct
value1, value2, etc
from some_small_table
where you don't already have that record

How to avoid the duplicate values, I do not want the duplicate............

i have one database table called "sms1" that table is updated every day or on daily basis it has the following fields in it:
SQL> desc sms1;
Name Null? Type
MOBILE NUMBER
RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER VARCHAR2(39 CHAR)
SNO NUMBER
INDATE DATE
From this table the is one column "RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER VARCHAR2(39 CHAR)" . I am splitting it into different columns like :
SQL> desc smssplit;
Name Null? Type
R VARCHAR2(2 CHAR)
C VARCHAR2(2 CHAR)
S VARCHAR2(1 CHAR)
TC VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
TC2 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA2 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
TC3 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA3 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
TC4 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA4 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
WTHER VARCHAR2(10 CHAR)
SNO NUMBER
INSERTDATA VARCHAR2(25 CHAR)
Now I am written a procedure to insert the data from "Sms1" table to smssplit table...
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SPLITSMS
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO scott.SMSSPLIT ( R,C,S,TC,NA,TC2,NA2,TC3,NA3,TC4,NA4,WTHER,SNO)
SELECT SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,1,2) R,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,3,2) C,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,5,1) S,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,6,3) TC,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,9,3) NA,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,12,3) TC2,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,15,3) NA2,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,18,3) TC3,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,21,3) NA3,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,24,3) TC4,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,27,3) NA4,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,30,10) WTHER, SNO
FROM scott.SMS1 where SNO=(select MAX (sno) from SMS1);
END;
Now in order to update the second table with data from first table on regular basis I have written a job scheduler and I am using oracle 9.0. version...
DECLARE
X NUMBER;
JobNumber NUMBER;
BEGIN
SYS.DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT
job => X
,what => 'scott.SPLITSMS;'
,next_date => SYSDATE+1/1440
,interval => 'SYSDATE+1/1440 '
,no_parse => FALSE
:JobNumber := to_char(X);
END;
Now this job scheduler is working properly and updating the data for every one minute but it is taking or updating the duplicate values also ..like example:
R C S TC NA TC2 NA2 TC3 NA3 TC4 NA4 WTHER SNO

How to avoid multiple listing for same artist?

How to avoid multiple listing for same artist?

Sounds like there might be blanks in the artist name.
For instance "Lou Reed" and "Lou Reed_" will not match.
(Pretend the underscore _ is a blank).
Select all the Lou Reed songs, Get Info, and type "Lou Reed" in the artist field. That should fix it.

View Duplicate Entries in Address Book

Does anyone know how you can view your duplicate entries in Address Book before you merge them?
Thank you!

books06,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It depends upon which version of Address Book you are using, and your definition of "view."
1. Address Book 3.1.1 Help
2. Address Book 4.0.3 Help: Combining duplicate cards and information
To find and merge duplicate cards:
1. Choose Card > "Look for Duplicate Entries."
2. Address Book tells you if it finds duplicate cards, cards containing duplicated information, or both.
3. Click Merge to merge duplicate cards and remove redundant information on cards.
When Address Book merges duplicate cards, it creates a single card for the contact containing all of the unique information from each merged card. Address Book uses the picture from the merged card appearing first in the list.
To merge selected cards only, Command-click to select the cards you want to combine and choose Card > Merge Selected Cards. Address Book creates a single card using the name and picture of the selected card appearing first in the list.;~)

How to avoid multiple DataConnections with LCD ES2

Hi, we are just starting using the data connections to connect via a database with LiveCycle Designer. It seems we are missing something important regarding to manipulation of data from the PDF.
At first we have tried to apply a INSERT command to our first table and be able to browse through the items in the database. We are able to browse through the database only before we have inserted something.
If we insert an item and then try to browse through the database with (Next, Previous, Last or First) it will crash and have an error of the following :
(Next, Previous, Last or First) failed. Multiple-step operation generated errors. check each status value [ID:@11]
So then we have decided to create a second data connection which would have each of the column in the database except for the ID which appears to make everything crash.
E.G.: Table_1
DataConnection1 --> ID, Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4 SELECT Command connection
DataConnection2 --> Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4 INSERT Command connection
Seems like we can't have a SELECT and INSERT in the same DataConnection because with those 2 different connections it works fine....
Then we are trying to show multiple data's in a table which is linked with the ID of the Selected ID in DataConnection1.. To show the data is all fine using a 3rd connection for that Table_2, then we are making sure a blank row is always there at the end of the table to be able to add this new entry to the database with a Add button to INSERT into the Table_2... Unfortunately we do not have a 2nd connection to that table because we cannot link those fields with the database for the purpose of a multiple entry view.
We have tried to make a 2nd connection for the purpose of the INSERT but it doesnt work at all.
We are basing ourselves on the sample provided by Stefan Cameron in his blog http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/12/18/databases-inserting-updating-and-deleting-records/
I am wondering if we are using the right functionalities and if it is the simplest way to work with databases...
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!

Don't forget to activate the RESOURCE_LIMIT parameter, which default is FALSE :
alter system set RESOURCE_LIMIT = true;
Laurent, I had a similar problem some time ago : I didn't want to avoid multiple access, but only control who was doing what. That's because moving from Client/Server to Web the TERMINAL column in V$SESSION becomes useless.
I tried your solution, but I had to give up with it, because in my Forms9i application some forms call Reports, which generate a new session.
I decided to use DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO, and this is satisfactory for my requirements, but I'm interested to discover other solutions.
P.S. with my solution I'm able to limit accesses, because in the CLIENT_INFO string I put, among other things, the
application user, so I can control if an user is already connected. The problem is that existing applications have to be modified .....:-(

How to save multiple new entries in one shot?

Hi,
I am working on a pretty complex Create form. So apart from the standard form fields to allow user to enter the data, one of the sections in this form is a table which allows user to create multiple entries for this entity. And when hitting the "Save" button in this form, it will save all the data plus the multiple entries defined in this table.
Is it possible to create multiple new entries in a table, and then save all of the new entries at the end? My experience so far is only create and save one new entry at a time.
Any sample?
Please advise.
Thanks.
-Mina

Yes, I am using ADF BC.
Let me explain more in details of the scenario:
I have a table with "Create New" and "Save" button. The "Create New" button's ActionListener is set to "#{bindings.CreateInsert.execute}", and the "Save" button's ActionListener is set to "#{bindings.Commit.execute}".
When the "Create New" button is hit, a new row shows up in the table to allow entering data inline. When the "Save" button is hit, it got committed. I would like to allow user to create multiple rows before committing. But currently, after I hit "Create New" button, then enter data, then hit "Create New" button again without committing, it gives error.
Since this table is part of a form with other fields, I would like to save/commit it until everything in the form are completed, including creating multiple rows in the table.
Any ideas how to achieve this?
Any comments are appreciated.
Thanks.

How to avoid multiple votings?

Hello All. How can I avoid, that there are multiple votings from one person?

I think there is no option to avoid multiple votings. Adobe has not implemented this funktion.
Formstack is as alternative to Formcentral. The Fieldoption there is called - Unique.
Unique allows you to restrict submissions of the same value in this field. For example, you can allow only one submission for a particular email address or physical address.
That is the option i was looking too.
Formcentral is useless for me in this way.

Am creating one z tcode to display the material details for the particular reservation number. How can I avoid multiple users to access the same tcode simultaneously. If anybody works over that tcode then no other user should be able to access the same tcode until or unless the first user works over it.
