HT2905 when I import my library from a file , it duplicates all my songs. How can I prevent or fix this

when I import my itunes library it duplicates all my songs . How ca I stop or fix this ?

What do you mean bye exported the library?
There is nothing to export or import.
The correct process to backup the iTunes library would be to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the computer to the external drive.

When a pdf is taken from illustrator, white lines appears on images. How can be avoided it?

When a pdf is taken from illustrator, white lines appears on images. How can be avoided it?
I use illustrator cs5. It occures mostly on the cover pages of brochures which contains images, texts and some effects such as drop shadow etc.

Thanks for your reply.
When smooth line art is turned off in Acrobat preferences,the lines disappears but the text becomes raserized and goes its smoothness. Not only that, we are not sure that everyone who is viewing the pdf has the same settings in their laptop or desktop.
Is there any other solution to remove these lines? I have added the screenshot of a part of the pdf.
Thanks once again for your support.

Whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you in. If you are using your computer's iTunes then does music show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (on your phone you might be able to redownload media via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app) ? If music shows there, but not that album, then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If you aren't in a country when you can redownload music and it's still on your phone then you should be able to copy it over from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

When I open Remote Desktop Connection, it reads "cannot open default.rdp". What can I do to fix this?

Hi, when I open RDP on my iMac, it reads "cannot open default.rdp" and it never saves my preferences or connections. It resets after each launch.
How do I go about fixing this?
UPDATE and FIX
I went to the Finder menu, clicked on GO, held down Option (Alt) to bring up the Library.
In the Library, I browsed to Preferences, found the com.microsoft.rdp plist and deleted it. Then I emptied my Trash. If you get an error saying rdp plist is in use and cannot be deleted, quit out of RDP or reboot the machine (if quitting RDP doesn't work).
Also, there was a permissions issue. I browsed to the Applications folder, located the Microsoft Office folder, right clicked the folder (or CTRL click) and selected GET INFO. First--In order to make any changes, authenticate with admin privileges using the lock icon (put in your username and password). From there (under Sharing & Permissions), I made sure my username (account currently logged in) and everyone had Read & Write privileges, then I clicked on the little gear icon (drop-down) and selected Apply to Enclosed items.
Voila!
This worked for me.

Actually, I still receive an error when I try to save the connections.
I get an error that reads
"Make sure that you have permission to write to the location where you want to save the file"
Any help with this would be great!
ah, RDP on a mac

My password protected phone was stolen and hacked into. How can I prevent someone like this from hacking into/getting around the passcode? They now have access to everything on my phone (I had a passcode to prevent this)

How can you prevent a hacker from bypassing your iphone passcode? My phone was stolen and someone hacked in and has access to everything on my phone and turned off "find my iphone." This is exactly what I wanted to prevent from happening and the reason why I had a passcode.

Turn on "Erase Data" in Settings>Passcode. That will wipe the data after 10 incorrect password attempts.
Turn off "Simple Passcode" in the same place and use something other than a 4 digit pin as your passcode.
Also make sure Find my iPhone is enabled so you can locate and if necessary, forcibly wipe the phone.

I recently restored my laptop and also iTunes from an external hard drive, but when I play songs, it says the original file could not be found. How do I locate and fix this?

My laptop has my home filmed videos in the pho library. When I open the library in iTunes the videos are not show. How can I access them for sharing?

My laptop has a photo library with my pictures and home made video. I have changed the format of the videos to apple. When O open the library in iTunes for sharing I only get the photos and the videos are excluded from the list. How can I get them included for sharing?

Here are Apple's instructions:
If you are using iPhoto ’06 or earlier, you will need to follow these steps to tell iPhoto where the Library is now located:
Hold down the Option key on the keyboard and open iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you are prompted to create or choose an iPhoto Library.
Click Choose Library.
Locate and select the iPhoto Library in its new location.
(from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 )
Below (in the link below) is what you should see when holding down the option key and opening iPhoto. Keep holding down the option key until this dialogue comes up. You want to select the Choose Library button.

How to transfer itunes library from windows to mac, not all my songs were successfully transferred

I recently bought a new mac air and the Apple Store transferred my files from my windows laptop( windows 7) to my new mac. however, I lost over a 1000 songs in the process. How can i get all my songs into my new library?

Hello pmwildcat
I would use either Home Sharing or use an external drive to get the songs and copy them over. If they are purchased items from the iTunes Store, you can download them from looking at your purchase history.

I recently had to restore my iPod Touch and all of my apps and music have been replaced on my iPod but all of the music has the cloud icon next to it saying I need to download it from the cloud. I have 1000 songs, how can I download all at once?

It's the 5th gen iPod touch and each song has the cloud symbol next to it that I can tap to download from the cloud onto my iPod but I don't want to have to do that for over 1000 songs so how can I do this all at once? I've already tried syncing my iPod with my library hoping that will help, as well as transferring purchases.

Nevermind I have resolved my problem.

Imported mail library from old Mac to new one ... how to ...

I imported my "mail" and "mail downloads" folders from my old mac's library to my new one ... all my messages are still in there, but im just wondering on how to make them show up in my new mail
Thanks for any help

You talk about “importing”, but it looks like what you really did was just copying those folders. Also, it looks like you copied the folder where the messages are stored, but not the file where the account settings are stored...
Mail stores most preferences and all account settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (except the passwords, which are stored in the keychain). Everything else, including all your messages and mailboxes, is stored within the ~/Library/Mail/ folder.
If both computers are running the same major version of Mac OS X, copying these (the preferences file and the entire Mail folder) from one computer to the other is all you need to do in order to have an exact copy of all your messages, mailboxes and Mail settings on both computers.
Similarly, Address Book (which you may want to transfer as well) stores the settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist and the data in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/.
In order to avoid potential permissions issues, copy the files operating on the destination computer and while logged in as the user that’s going to use them. Also, be sure the affected applications aren’t running on either computer while doing that.
Alternatively, you may use Migration Assistant:
Transferring data with Setup Assistant / Migration Assistant FAQ
BTW, there is no point in transferring the ~/Library/Mail Downloads folder. The files that Mail puts there are just temporal copies to let you open the attachments in other applications without having to manually save them first. Unless you’ve modified any of those attachments after opening them and haven’t saved them elsewhere, there is nothing in that folder that needs to be preserved. The attachments themselves are kept as part of the messages.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

I have material shot on a new camera in 16x9. When I import it into FCPX the media is "squished" into 4x3. How can I get it to look right?

I have material shot on a new camera. It's a Panasonic AG-HPX250EJ.
According to the clip properties of the media on the camera the footage was shot 16x9 at a frame rate of 50i
The format is DV25_420
The problem is that when I connect the camera to the iMac via a USB cable and attempt to import the media into FCPX (I'm running version 10.0.1) it displays as 4x3.
What am I doing wrong?
Needless to say I have a deadline looming for the edit and I'm rather tearing my hair out.

If problem persists after importing via FW
Select the clips in the event browser and in the inspector select INFO.
Ensure that the View bottom Left is set to SETTINGS.
You should be able to change the way FCPX interprets the clips via Anamorphic Override.

How can I prevent printing of this FROM location label even if suppressed?

I am using Crystal Reports 10.
The examples follow the problem description.
The idea is print a label when moving one part from one location to another.
The Control ID# is the main parameter which I must receive in order to get the values from the 3rd party software to print the label information.
The Control Rec# is from the Record Number within Crystal Reports.
The Trans Rec ID# is the data I am retrieving from the transaction table. This Trans Rec ID# s the link between the Control ID# table, which also contains the Trans Rec ID# for this table.
The 3rd party software always passes one control record#, which will always have two records - one negative quantity and one positive quantity. The records are always in order by negative then positive quantity. Also, the Trans Rec ID# is in ascending sequence. The negative record will display "FROM" in the location portion of the label.
   NOTE: Each time the label is to be printed, there are two more records created in the transaction table.
Here is a list of what I have tried, by itself and/or in conjunction with the others:
- in the Record Selection, I have tried selecting just the positive quantity, which will give me a leading blank page
- suppressed the Report Header
- conditionally suppressed report header - always prints blank page at beginning (see Example #2)
- conditionally suppressed detail (this works fine - see Example #2)
- sorting records in descending order by quantity
- sorting records in descending order by Trans Rec ID#
- grouping by Trans Rec ID#
- grouping by quantity
Whenever I try to suppress the printing of the negative quantity label, which I do not want to print, it always prints as a blank page. Is there a way to keep it from doing this? Is there something I can do that I am missing?
Example #1 : Suppressing report/page headers
Part# ABC      Control ID# 166551   Control Rec# 1   Trans Rec ID# 143497   ...
Quantity = -1   Location = DC0-19   (This is the FROM Label)                                                                                .
Part# ABC      Control ID# 166551   Control Rec# 1   Trans Rec ID# 143498   ...
Quantity = 1     Location = DOCK     (This is the TO Label - no indicator of From/To prints)
=================================================================
Example #2 : In Record Select, selecting only positive quantity and suppressing headers
(Blank page prints here - negative record is the first record)
Part# ABC      Control ID# 166551   Control Rec# 1   Trans Rec ID# 143505   ...
Quantity = 1     Location = DOCK     (This is the TO Label - no indicator of From/To prints)

My newly-installed TB disappeared from my Windows 8.1 64bit laptop. How can I prevent this happening again?

When I installed the new TB "portable" a few minutes ago, all seemed to be going well. I downloaded an accumulation of messages from my server and began setting up archive folders and filters. Suddenly, TB froze and then disappeared! When I clicked on the icon, I was presented with an empty, new, TB, and asked whether I wanted a new email address, etc, as I had been before (and refused). I've gone ahead and am downloading my messages into the "empty" TB, but how do I keep the content from disappearing again?
I wonder if this is a glitch associated with the evil Windows 8.1. Any ideas?
Thanks,
MaxineKL in Canada who much prefers Tbird to Outlook

The compatibility problem has been solved (the security setting needed to be changed to SSL/TLS, which changed the port to 995, and the message no longer appears. Thanks. Meanwhile, I am just hoping that content of TB doesn't up and disappear again without any warning or message. Have you any ideas about that problem?

Hello, I have my PC connected to my HDTV and when viewing websites on firefox, the websites are too small to read. What can I do to fix this. I have already tried dling the No Squint add-on, but some websites are still distorted. Thanks for you help

My PC specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad 2.5GHz
Nvidia 9800GT video card
Seagate 600gb hardrive
The TV is a Philips 720p (Not exactly sure what model it is)

You can increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 steps to see what works best.
In Firefox 3.6 and later this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements more precisely.
