How to tell which items are in iTunes library on disc but not in program library?

I made a mistake the other night and I deleted some items from my iTunes library ... but NOT from disc.
These items are still in my 65 gig iTunes library on disc. Somewhere.
I'd like to re-add these songs. Is there any way to tell which songs in the iTunes library on disc are not in the iTunes program library?
I don't want to have to add all 65 gigs again and then remove all the duplicates
thanks!

You should try dragging some files already in the library into iTunes to see what happens. I just did, and the new iTunes 10.6 seems to be ignoring them. I then made a copy of a file already in the library, and I added both it and the original by dragging and dropping. Only the new file was added. There was no warning about duplicates in either test. So you may be able to drag your whole library back into iTunes.
For when you do want to determine what files on disk aren't in the iTunes library or vice versa, here's one way to do it (if there's an easier way, I'm all ears):
Export your library as a playlist to a text file.
Use a program that can recursively list all your files on disk as full paths and save its output to a text file.
Load the into a decent text editor. I use Notepad++. Then use a regexp search/replace to tidy up the files so that both consist of one fully qualified filename per line.
Sort the files.
Diff the files and examine the differences.
I can do both 4 and 5 in Notepad++.

How to tell which maps are the latest?

I have Maps v3.01 loaded on my 6710 Navigator (came with free worldwide licence) and Map Loader v3.0.28 on my PC.
How do I tell which maps are loaded on my Nokia and what version/date the maps availalble on Map Loader are?
Map Loader does not state which maps are already on my phone, nor does it state the date or version of the maps which can be uploaded.
Obviously, I'd like to install newer versions of my country map if and when it is available, but how do I know which version is available and which I already have?
Ovi.com does not seem to be the answer either as all maps were downloaded using Map Loader.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you already have a free worldwide license and V 3.01 is working well for you then you are right to leave it for the moment. I hear of problems searching for addresses etc with V3.03. Can always update later when everything is sorted.
I believe if you delete all your maps and then use Ovi Suite to download new maps, Ovi Suite will at least tell you what maps you have on your phone. I haven;t tried it myself because I can't stand Ovi Suite.
Speed warning is available for Ireland but just like you I have to import the speed camera locations as landmarks. Hopefully, we will see these as new features in future updates.

How do i delete items from my itunes library on my phone?

Hello,
I just need to find out how I delete any item from my itunes music library on my device. I have some recorded sessions that are taking up too much space now and I need to get rid of them off of my phone. Thanks in advance.

Connect to your computer, open iTunes, select your device, click on the Music tab in the main window. Uncheck the tracks you don't want, then re-sync to remove them from the phone.

How to tell which Indexes are not being used?

We are a large development shop and have many customers. Our database design is very generic so that it works for all of our customers. Each night we use an SSIS ETL process to bring down large amounts of data from the iSeries into SQL. One
particularily large customer takes a very long time and we are looking for ways to speed up thier data import and transformation. I would like to see which indexes he does not use and possibly remove them. Each night we fully repopulate hundreds of staging
and ods tables and incrementally delete and repopulate the days work for a handful of history type tables. Removing some indexes off of the large tables could make a big impact.
How can i tell which indexes the customer does not use?

Change Data Capture How to Tell which you are running Sync or Asyn

Hi ,
I am taking over a new system that has change data capture running, but Im really confused how this is running. Most of the CDC is set up using Sync(triggers), but I have about 5 tables that DO NOT have system generated triggers on them. I know Streams is NOT running/configured. I know Capture is not running/configured (because nothing in DBA_CAPTURE table). I can tell that these 5 tables are still getting updated in the change table schema. I can not figure out how the 5 tables that DO NOT have triggers on them are updating the change data set tables.
I had thought the the 5 tables, must be configured with HOTLOG, but when I look at the CHANGE_SETS table they all (including these 5 tables) are set to CHANGE SOURCE NAME = SYNC SOUCE. I would expected that to be HOTLOG_SOURCE. So I "assume" they aren't set up using Asnc. hot log mode. So maybe the other Async modes are used, but not pushed to another database? Is that possible?
Any other ideas on how to figure out how the CDC is set up for these 5 tables?
thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply, but I think I must have not stated the problem clearly. I dont WANT to set the source I want to figure out how this CDC is working. I see ALL the sources are currently set to SYNC_SOURCE. Almost all of the tables are set up with system triggers on them, but 5 dont have system triggers, yet the source says SYNC_SOURCE. I did validate that the change tables are getting updated for these tables. my question is how are they getting updated? I "assume" since they dont have system triggers ont eh table they aren't synchoronus cdc (like the other tables are). yet the source says SYNC_SOURCE. What am I missing? How can I tell if the redo log is populating those changes tables? Im pretty sure it is (Becuase there aren't triggers or jobs running), but Im curious if there is a way to tell for sure.
Thanks,

How to tell which files are masters

I have a library that i imported with over 3000 pictures, but i dont know which ones are masters

Still trying to sort this out: Where does the User Manual define " image"?
From the Glossary;
image
An artifact that reproduces the likeness of some subject, usually a physical object or person, also known as a picture. See also image selection, photograph, picture, subject.
image selection
Refers to an image or group of images selected in the Browser or the Full Screen view filmstrip. A white rectangle surrounding an image indicates it is selected. See also Browser, Full Screen view, image.
These two entries appear to me to be inconsistent:
The first definition defines "image" as a real world object and does not state its relations to Aperture items.
The second entry uses the term "image" for items selected in the film strip. Here I see the interpretation that Kirby uses.
The term image (in Aperture "speak") seems to need clarification - being used for image versions and "pictures" at the same time.

How to tell which pages are linked to a template

How can you tell, from a template, all of the pages which it affects.
I have some "junk" templates that are from previous experiments which I am trying to remove, I wouldn't want them to be a part of something important.

Do a simple search on source code in your entire site for the name of the Template file. You will get a Results panel showing every instance of that filename...specifically each page that uses that Template will be on that list.

How to find which files are in the library

Hi there,
I keep almost all of my library as referenced files on external hard-drives because of the small hard-drive that my MBP has. BUT over time I've added some pictures here and there that are stored in my Aperture library. I would like to relocate these pictures, but I don't know which ones they are.
I can go picture by picture and find them, but I would like an easier way.
Is there a way to find all the pictures that are stored in the aperture library?

Bring up the entire Library, for instance by clicking on the All Photos Album.
Open the search HUD and use the 'plus' button to add a search by File Status.
You now have a choice of searching by online/offline and managed/referenced.

How do I download songs that are on itunes on my computer but not on my ipod?

My computer has all of the songs I purchased on iTunes, but my ipod only has a few? How do I get the songs onto my ipod? When I start iTunes on my computer and connect the ipod using the USB, I look at the left hand column but there is no devices there

How can I sync a podcast in iTunes to Podcasts app, but not Music app

When I first got the podcast app I had three podcasts set to sync to my iPhone. Two were podcasts I'm subscribed to via iTunes Music Store and one is a podcast downloaded from a website as individual files (I changed the type to Podcast). The first time I lauched the Podcasts app all of them were there and I was happy. Even though they were now in my Podcasts app I subscribed to them from the app (except for the one that I didn't get from iTunes) I then turned off podcast syncing in iTunes so it wouldn't sync podcasts to both my Music app and my Podcasts app. Maybe this wasn't necessary but I didn't want duplicates and I found nothing online telling me if syncing would result in two copies or not so I chose to turn it off.
Now I've listened to all of the episodes of the one I downloaded from a website and I want to put more, newer episodes of it on my iPhone. However, I can't figure out how to get them from iTunes to the Podcasts app. The only thing I can think of would be to turn on syncing again but as mentioned above, I'd like to leave syncing off.
Any help appreciated.

Unfortunately since the Podcast App is not part of iTunes, you cannot sycn from iTunes. You have to subscribe to the podcast from inside the Podcast App.
Do this by clicking on the gear in the top right hand corner. Then turn "Subscription" on. While you're here decide with order you want to sort them, oldest or newest first. Be aware that, to my knowledge, your IOS device must be awake to download the podcasts you subscribe to.
To delete podcasts you've listened to, simply swipe from right to left on the podcast and tap on the delete button when it appears. This is done by individually, just like in Mail. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a way to select multiple episodes to delete at once.

How can tell the script I want to save unsaved files but not replace the old one?

Hi everyone
I got this script
var docs = app.documents;
for (var i = docs.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
    if (docs[i].saved == false) {
        docs[i].save(new File(“~/Desktop/Document.indd”));
        docs[i].close();
    else {
        docs[i].close(SaveOptions.YES);
close and save files
but if I have two or more files, I want to save files like Doc1, Doc2...
the new file will never replace the old one
Can some one tell me how can I do that?
Thanks
Regard
Teetan

Hi,
Change the 4th line like below:
        docs[i].save(new File("~/Desktop/Doc" + (i+1) + ".indd"));

HT4914 How can you tell which songs are downloaded from the cloud on an ipad

How can you tell which songs are downloaded on the iPad from the cloud?

I know ipad albums are more like tagging photos rather than putting them in folders. I just have a nagging feeling I missed some pics and I have too many to try to go figure out one by one. I don't look at my photos from the camera roll, only from albums I tagged just because I imported photos from different sources and the dates and order is really messed up. I just want to know that I am viewing all the photos from like this vacation or that event and there's none I missed that are only in the camera roll.

How to tell which photos in iPhoto are HDR images.

Does anyone know how to tell which photos in iPhoto are HDR images. When I click on the Info button for the image it doesn't indicate if it was an HDR.
Does anyone have any information about this?

You can do a filter on your library with "File Status" is "Missing". The "File Status" query is not available by default, but you can add it by clicking the upper-right button in the filter window.

How can i tell which device made the itune purchased

hi every one i just want to know how to tell which device made the purchased in itune thanks.

Not much you can do...unless the bill indicates the class of device, such as iPad, so you can narrow it down.
If all have access to the same accounts using the same credit cards and do not have to identify themselves, there just isn't much you can do to tell who did the download.

There are purchased items on the iPhone "asingh's iPhone" that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone. Are you sure you want to continue?

When I am trying to upgrade my iphone to IOS7.0.2 by connecting my my iphone and macbook, it shows "There are purchased items on the iPhone “asingh’s iPhone” that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone. Are you sure you want to continue? ". I hit the same issue and lost a lot of apps from my iphone. Can someone help on how to resolve this issue? I can automatically upgrade my software on the iphone but how shall I resolve any future updates of "Apps"?

I appreciate the answer, but what you describe is not entirely accurate. First, to even see view, you have to enable the menu by clicking on the icon in the upper left. View allows you to show the sidebar.
Second, you will NOT see your devise listed in sidebar or anywhere else. Instead, you have to click on "devise" from the sidebar menu, wait a minute, and then it will finally show up under "devise." Or maybe it just takes a minute to show up whatever you do.
Third, right clicking on your devise will take you to a menu with "transfer my files" on it, but then iTunes will refuse to make the transfer. Instead, it will tell you that <your apps> on your <devise> could not be transferred to iTunes "because you are not authorized for it on your computer." Apple unhelpfully suggests going to store> authorize this computer. There is a "store" menu item on the sidebar, but it has no "authorize this computer" sub-menu. Instead, go to the horizontal menu at the upper left, and THERE you will find "store" and the "authorize this computer" sub-menu. Now you can transfer your files, to who knows where.
My iPhone 5 is my first Apple devise. So far my experience has been, to do A, which must be done right now, you must first do B. To do B you must first do C, which is unexplained save in answers in user forums. To do C you must first do D, which, after several hours of research and puzzle solving, can eventually be done.
