I just downloaded two versions of the same song on accident

One clean, one explicit. Can I do anything to undo it?

Hello mracole,
I checked my "purchases" and the 7/19/13 purchases don't show up. However, the earlier versions from usually several years back...the ones that are Matched...often do show up in my Purchases. I suspect that somehow those REALLY purchased several year old versions were deleted and redownloaded by me so I could change them to the 256 kbps versions under iTunes Match. They were probably 128 kbps versions originally when purchased.
Why the earlier versions that were really purchased are now identified as Matched is puzzling.
Why I now have Purchased versions from 7/19/13 is puzzling too...especially since these versions do NOT show up in my purchases.
Calling Apple Support if a good idea unless someone can explain this mystery. I might even take one of my laptops to the Apple store and show a Genius.
Thank you very much for taking the time to respond, Mr. Luigi

I downloaded two versions of the same album by mistake can I get a refund on one?

I downloaded two versions of the same album, one staight after the other, I've been charged for both, can I get one removed and a refund?

Carol,
William Lloyd said it all, but perhaps Kirby Krieger's User Tip will explain a bit more the different uses of albums and projects:
The Well-Trod Path: a Beginner's Guide to how Aperture's major parts inter-relate
Then I imported into Aperature, created new versions, one for each snapshot, then cropped each snapshot, so each snapshot is seperate in Aperature.
You want to find each snapshot separately in Aperture? Perhaps you could explain more, how you want to organize your photos. William pointed out albums to group versions of an image. You could also assign keywords to mark special occasions like birthdays, weddings, etc. You could assign faces to find photos of persons by name. You can use the search field in the browser to search for photos by face, date, keyword, etc. Aperture is really great for accessing images in many different ways. There must be a way to access the images in your Aperture library just like you want to.
Then, I tried to organize the ton of photos into projects and it won't let multiple versions of the same original photo be in separate projects.
That is, how Aperture works. All versions of an image need to be in the same project, because they are sharing the same imported original image file. Aperture tries to save your disk space, by by not creating image files for the edited versions. Versions are just a set of instructions how to produce the rendered image, when you want to edit it or to export it. Unless you are working with the version, it will live in limbo and it will not exist as an image file. So all versions are kept together in the same project with the original image file that is necessary to render them as an image.

When I OCR two versions of the same document and then compare th documents in Acrobat Pro XI, I usually get the message that there are no changes to mark. However, I know there a quite a few number of changes. I raised this question more than a year ago

When I OCR two versions of the same document and then compare the documents in Acrobat Pro XI, I usually get the message that there are no changes to mark. However, I know there a quite a few number of changes. I raised this question more than a year ago, and the response I received had to do with the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents. However, if I use Acrobat Pro XI to save the same documents in Word and then run a comparison in Word all of the changes are marked. When a PDF is saved as a Word document in Acrobat Pro XI, is a different OCR module being used than the one used in Acrobat Pro XI for text recognition?

OCR is only for recoginition of the image / picture of text provided by an scanner.
Content typed into a Word file which is converted to a PDF is (in Word and in PDF) *not* an image or picture of text - it is the digital text. So, no OCR involved.
When the "digital" (renderable) text of a PDF's page content is exported to Word no OCR is involved.
When a PDF's content is from the image output of a scanner and this is a picture of text then OCR comes into play.
If this content is exported to Word before doing OCR then it is the image that is exported to the Word file.
Once OCR is performed it is the OCR output that is exported.
OCR output is (always will be) impacted by "the quality of the OCR and the scans of the documents".
Regardless "Compare" is based on a Word file output to PDF1 then edits to the Word file followed by an output to PDF2. You use Acrobat Pro to do a compare of PDF1 & PDF2.
Paper 1 scanned to image 1 to image 1 in PDF1 that gets OCR 1 and
Paper 2 scanned to image 2 to image 2 in PDF2 that gets OCR 2
being processed with Acrobat Pro's Compare can certainly be done.
But - well you've described what can be observed.
Be well...

How to delete the many versions of the same song?

Help please, how do I delete old versions of a song? When I add to or tweak a piece, I first save it with a new name, like song 1, then song 2, etc. so that I have a copy of every change. This takes up space when I have 50 versions each of 10 songs. Now my hard drive is down to 7.4 and I was told to keep it in the double digits. I went to Logic,
chose the song from the next column, then in the next column filled with versions of the same song, I selected one, like old version 1, hit delete and nothing happened. I held down the apple key too and hit delete. Nothing. HELP please. I have not used this before but my 1-1 has ended since Apple won't allow renewals anymore. Also. I have all versions saved on 2 external hard drives.

Hi,
now first you'll need the right permissions for the folder where your songs are stored. I assume that you have the read/write permissions (or supervisor permissions).
Let's assume your songs are named "songxversiony.logic". They will reside in a main folder named "songx" containing all the "songxversiony.logic" files, and there will be subfolders called "audio files" "bounces" "Fade files" "Project File Backups" "Sampler Instruments" (maybe) and "Undo Data" and maybe one or two others.
1st: Usually, Logic stores your songs in /(your username)/music/Logic/... , so please open your finder and look if they are there.
2nd: You can delete all unneeded "songxversiony.logic" files from the finder. This should be possible by hitting the delete button. Otherwise check your permissions.
3rd: Now getting rid of the Song file (xy.logic) won't delete the really big Disk-Hogs, which are the Audio Files you used in earlier versions (but don't need them anymore). They still reside in the "Audio Files" subfolder.
4th: Fire up Logic, load your Project. Tap the "B" key to open the Bin and there you'll have all the audio files that ever were used in your project. Now many of them aren't needed anymore. So *within the bin* hit Shift-U to select all unused Audio files (or in the menu: edit -> select all unused). Hit DEL to remove them from the bin.
5th: Now these hogs are *still there* (what the...? ) To finally get rid of them, go to Logic's Menu bar: File -> Project -> clean up. You will be asked if you really want to delete the unused files, and yes, off they go to the trash.
You may also look inside the bounces folder if there are old bounces you don't need anymore.
Problem solved.

How does one remove duplicate versions of the same songs on an iPhone5?

How does one remove duplicate versions of the same songs on an iPhone5?

Yes, I use Live Bookmarks.
This is the RSS http://www.ctech.com/forum/rss.php
Each of those entries at the RSS site show up in my Firefox RSS folder twice. The content of each entry when I go to it is exactly the same. It's not that one is the reply to the original post or anything like that. For instance, see the attached image of the list of items that show up. The highlighted yellow on top is an example. Both of those links display exactly the same original post and replies. Why is that? Is is possible that somehow I'm subscribed twice? Does that make sense? How can I delete the duplicates, or for that matter, clear all those items that show on the list? I just want to see the new ones. Thanks.

Why is my mac syncing multiple version of the same song?

I wonder if anyone could help with this:
My sync takes so long sometimes and it often syncs 2 or 3 versions of the same song on loads of albums.
I have to go through manually one by one and delete them off my phone, and sometimes i only stumble across duplicates by accident.
Its very frustrating.
Im on OSX 10.9.2 with an iPhone 5s running the latest version of iOS.
Thanks.

eek that sounds unpleasant. Are the songs different in any way?
Are these albums using playlists to sync?
If so…check that the the playlists on the Mac don't have the duplicate copies - in this case the same file will be reused (not using extra space on the device).
Do they show as multiple files in iOS's Albums view? You may need to tap 'More…' and then 'Edit' to add the 'albums tab' to the bottom menu. Save and check for duplicates.
I'd reboot everything, backup the device to iTunes, disable music syncing to empty the device and resync to see if that helps, if it fails consider resetting the iPhone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Try another sync. If that is OK restore the backup & see if it comes back.

Can I have two versions of the same original live in separate projects?

I am not an Aperature or photography expert.
I scanned in a ton of old family photos with multiple snaphots on a page and in a single file. Then I imported into Aperature, created new versions, one for each snapshot, then cropped each snapshot, so each snapshot is seperate in Aperature. (I could have learned Spanish with all the time that this took.)
Then, I tried to organize the ton of photos into projects and it won't let multiple versions of the same original photo be in separate projects. I found a way to change the filenames through Batch Change, but that didn't fix the problem.
I would like to organize the ton of files, but from what I can tell my only option would be to go back to the scanned files, make copies from Finder as needed, once for each snapshot, reimport into Aperature and recrop each individual snapshot.
Oh my, I have kids and a job and a husband and I like to sleep at night. Is there any easier way to organize the photos?
Thank you for your time.

HELP! How to install two versions of the same driver???

Hello,
Here is my scenario... I am a video chat host on different sites. I recently purchased two of the same Creative Live! Ultra webcams. When I try to broadcast on the 2nd site with the 2nd camera the other goes fuzzy and starts freaking out.
Is there a way to install two versions of the driver and run both cameras at once without conflict? Please advise what to do since I would like to use these cams.
Thank you for your help.

I pre-ordered two versions of the same album on ITunes! How to stop?

So a few minutes ago I accidently preordered 2 versions of the same album on Itunes on my dell laptop! I want to cancel one, but i dont know how! It told me that you pay for it when it is realsed in November so I have not payed yet for either.

Select all the songs from the album, choose File--> Get Info, then under the Album area, type in the appropriate album title. They should all appear under one album at that point.

How to delete multiple versions of the same song file?

I recently moved my iTunes music file to an external hard drive, and for some reason, it took iTunes a few tries before it recognized the new location of my music (I had to change the location in the preferences a few times because it kept changing itself back...?) So I ended up with those infamous exclamation points next to all of my songs because iTunes couldn't find any of the files.
I ended up just deleting my entire library and re-adding it to try and solve the problem, but somehow, in the process, iTunes made (sometimes multiple) copies of almost everything. The weirdest part of this is that most of the albums have 3 copies of everything, a few have four (?!), and some did not get copied at all.
There has to be an easy way to consolidate and delete mutiple versions of the same file, but how? I have tried everything I can think of. The "consolidate library" function tells me it is going to copy everything again (how is that "consolidating"?)
I have 15GB of music and do not want to go through and delete thousands of songs manually.
HELP!

This doesn't quite work as it displays all of the tracks that have been duplicated, including the originals, meaning I would delete all of the copies and no longer have those songs, or still have to go in manually for everything.
I also tried displaying the date added for everything, hoping iTunes had made the copies on different days, but everything was added and copied on the same day, so I wasn't able to differentiate the files that way, either.
HELP!

I now have two copies of the same song in iTunes. One is "Matched" and one is "Purchased." How do I remove one, and which one should I remove?

I subscribe to iTunes Match. One day a couple months ago I noticed that my iTunes library was populated by a new collection of songs. Songs I already had and were identified as Matched. All of a sudden, I not only had the"Matched" copy, but also another copy labelled "Purchased." When I went to "View" --> Duplicates, sure enough there was about 180 songs that had been added to duplicates. All 180 were identified as "Purchased" and all were identified as purchased on the same date. That common date was often several years after the date associated with the Matched version. ALL had the SAME purchase date. No one in our house of 4 Mac computers sharing the same Apple Account and having the same iTunes libraries had purchased any songs on that date...7/19/13. All at around 10:30 PM, plus or minus a minute.
Has anyone had this same experience? I tried to remove the "Matched" copy of each song knowing that the "Purchased" copy would not count to my iTunes Match total. But, that didn't work. It appears I am stuck with both copies.
When the recent update to iTunes (v11.0.5) came out, I thought it may address this issue. No go. I still have all these duplicates of the same song. I mean...THE SAME SONG! AT least as far as I can tell by checking all the information associated with each. Same name, same artist, same everything. As far as I can tell, there is nothing that could "fake out" iTunes Match to think these were different versions.
And ideas what happened and what I can do?

Hello mracole,
I checked my "purchases" and the 7/19/13 purchases don't show up. However, the earlier versions from usually several years back...the ones that are Matched...often do show up in my Purchases.

Itunes two versions of the same album?

Hello,
I have two versions, high res audio and CD quality, of the same album of an artist located in two folders "Album Title" and "Album Title HD".
By adding the two folders to the iTunes mediathek, all tracks are merged under "Album Title" in iTunes. Do I have to manipulate the meta data to avoid this behavior in iTunes? Interestingly the views on the Mac and via iOS Remote App are different:
Mac:
Track 1
Track 1 HD
Track 2
Track 2 HD
etc.
Rmote App:
Track 1
Track 2
Track Last
Track 1 HD
Track 2 HD
I disabled the automatic handling option for iTunes import. So still two folders in the iTunes music folder exist.
Any ideas?
Andreas

If you want them to appear as separate albums you will have to change the metadata for one of the albums. There are many ways to do this and which one you use will depends upon your preferences.
You can make it obvious by doing something such as adding a descriptor to the album name e.g., Album Name [CD quality]
You can "hide". If you do not normally use the album artist field and you add an album artist to that field for one of the versions it will cause that to sort separately. Similarly if you add a number to the disc number field that should normally get it to display separately.
Alternatively you can come up with a smart playlist to sort according to kind.

Not really likely, is it?
First of all, look on the iPod to see if the song is actually on there. (The last Sync of my Classic resulted in "song not copied... because it cannot be found." The song had previously been on the iPod. I checked and despite the fact that iTunes could not find the file, the song was still on my iPod. I checked the folder and the song was exactly where t was supposed to be. So I simply set iTunes to find it again. What happened? I don't know, iTunes simply threw a wobbly!)
Second, try another Sync. Does this change anything? If the song was on the iPod, does a second Sync remove the message? If the song was not on the iPod after the first Sync, does the second one put it on there?
What happens?
