I subscribed two weeks back and on the iTunes site Step 1 gathering data is still going on. Why is it taking so long?

I was also having this problem after having successfully used iTunes Match previously. The problem appears to be when there are two version of songs and one of them has the iCloud icon made using a dotted line. Here's what solved it for me:
1. Identify your duplicate files. I have a large library, so I elected to use Dupin Light (available on the Mac App store). I suppose I could have used iTunes duplicate finder too, but I prefer the flexibility of Dupin.
2. Once you have identified your duplicates, find them in iTunes. In my case Dupin identifed 50, from 19,000+ tracks, so for me it was not a large number to check manually.
3. When you find the duplicates, if one of them has the aforementioned dotted line iCloud icon, this is the one you need to delete. If you accidently delete the other version, you can always download it again if you have purchased it from iTunes. In any case, it seems to be the tracks with this icon that it is causing iTunes Match to stall, so you will need to delete all of these.
4. Once you have completed step 3, iTunes Match should not proceed and complete.

  • How to get alert in P6 for material procurement two weeks before and track the status of procurement of material?

    I want P6 to alert me two weeks before for procurement of specific material resource related to an activity going to be performed. If this is possible then what are the steps to use it and how can we manage it.

    Hi Srinivas,
    I think you must use Restricted Key Figures and Formula.
    Do not introduce CALMONTH in columns, but restrict 12 times the Key Figure Qty with 0CALMONTH3, that is 01-02-03-...
    Then create a Formula that is the Sum of all Restricted KF and call it SUM.
    Then copy the previous Formula (SUM) and call it AVG and give the option of Average of all Values <>0.
    Try.
    Ciao.

  • I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be? I sent it via FedEx.

    I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. However, my boyfriend sent in his the same time I did and his repair status says repair being diagnosed. I still have the "receipt" of the package when they first sent it to me. I sent it via FedEx. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be or maybe find out if I can still get a replacement even though my nano might be lost in transit?

    I sent it via FedEx. 
    Call FedEx.  They will be able to track their own packages.  They will let you know if your iPod Nano was delivered and to who!

  • I changed my Apple ID two weeks ago and I Accidently forgot to sign out of my iCloud on my iPhone 5C. now it wont let me change the iCloud ID to match my new Apple ID. How do I change my iCloud ID even though it is asking for the old ID?

    I changed my Apple ID two weeks ago and I accidently forgot to sign out of my iCloud on my iPhone 5C. Now it wont let me change the iCloud ID to match my new Apple ID. How do I change my iCloud ID even though it is asking for the old ID?

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • My macbook crashed about two weeks ago and I had icloud already set up. How do I go about retrieving the music and images? Please, help me. I had over 10gb of music on that computer and the only place it was backup was icloud. Thanks.

    I hate to say this, but unless you are paying the 25 bucks you cannot back up your library to the cloud.
    All you can do is back up the items you "purchased" from Apple.
    iTunes Match
    For $24.99/year you’ll get access to all your iTunesmusic including tunes you ripped from CDs or “borrowed” from anonymous friends. It scans your library to see if the song exists in iTunes’ 18 million song catalog and if it does it’ll stream it to you at 256 kbps. If your song is not in iTunes then it’ll be uploaded to iCloud at whatever rate it is on your device where it can be streamed for your listening pleasure. I cannot find any information on how to restore a library, however
    Best of luck

  • HT4623 Hi..I recently bought an IPAD and I absolutely love it.  I have been Skyping w/my family during this deployment for the past two weeks until yesterday.  The camera on my side just stopped working.  I am able to see my family.  Any help.

    Hi..I recently bought an IPAD and I absolutely love it.  I have been Skyping w/my family during this deployment for the past two weeks until yesterday.  The camera on my side just stopped working.  I am able to see my family.  Any help.

    Try closing the Camera/Skype app:
    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal the Task Bar
    2. Hold down the Camera/Skype app for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen
    If the above doesn't solve the problem, do a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

  • Hi, my iPhone 4 was stolen two weeks ago, and I called ATT to suspend the service. Today, we were able to trace it and it is under a different name.  What should I do? Should I report to police?

    Hi, my iPhone was stolen two weeks ago, and I called ATT to suspend the service.  Today, we were about to find it using my iPod, and it is now under a different name.  What should I do?  Should I report to police?  I did called ATT again, and they told me that they cannot do anything, since the SIM card might have been replaced.

    Doesn't hurt to call the police. 
    The SIM wasn't replaced; if it were, you wouldn't have been able to locate it.

  • I am asking this for my friend, who was using iphone 4. He lost it one week back and couldnt find it so far. He is having his IMEA number of the phone. Could you please help me in tracing out this?

    I am asking this for my friend, who was using iphone 4. He lost it one week back and couldnt find it so far. He is having his IMEA number of the phone. Could you please help me in tracing out this?

    If he has not previously set up Find My iPhone, there is no way to
    track the iPhone. Apple does not and will not track phones.
    Immediately change all passwords. Hopefully he was using a passcode
    to get by the lock screen. If he was, his data is protected; if not, anyone
    who finds the iPhone can access anything that was on it.

  • I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow.  I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same.  Yesterday, I updgraded to Safari 5.1 and the problem is now worse.  Any solutions?

    I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow.   I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same.  Yesterday, I upgraded to Safari 5.1 and now the problem is worse.  Any solutions?

    I can't stand peremptory affirmations like "Nothing is wrong with Safari".
    Thousands of users can't be wrong (see the discussions).
    If I read you the right way, it's never software' fault, it's the user who's the culprit.
    Amazing!
    In this very case, the fact is we can't give to "christinefromfonthill" a good solution because weren't sitting in front of her Mac.
    You give her a good advice which could, perhaps, lead to an improvement.
    But must also admit that Safari is a very slow browser compared to Firefox or Chrome.
    And you can't ignore all the problems which arose when upgrading to Lion and were related to the new build and specs of Safari 5.1.
    The best example is the apparition of "garbage type" (use of Last Resort font) when reading numerous sites. This never occured before and is the direct consequence of Safari compliance to Web Open Type. This standard prohibits the use of Type 1 Postscript Fonts and is the reason why so many people are in trouble.
    I use a Mac for more than 25 years.
    I am a very "clean" user who hates the bells and whistles of third party.
    My Mac is always up-to-date and despite all my Mac loving care, I run into some problems.
    Imagine the nightmare which can occurs for the vulgum pecus who isn't, by definition, a power user aware of all the requirements for running a System in optimal conditions.
    May be Safari is one step in advance on its time but lambda users are paying the price for it.

  • Need to pull records for full work week two weeks back

    I wanted to pull the results from two date fields and calculate the lapsed time. Both dates in the calculation are from the same field, so I used the command feature in Crystal to differentiate the two
    SELECT max("A"."CREATED_DATE") as installerContactCreatedDate,
    TO_NUMBER("A"."OBJECT_KEY")
    FROM "OMS"."AUDITS" "A"
    WHERE "A"."ATTRIBUTE_NAME" = 'installerContact'
    AND "A"."CREATED_DATE" > SYSDATE - 16
    group by "A"."OBJECT_KEY"
    SELECT max("A"."CREATED_DATE") as dateScheduledCreatedDate,
    TO_NUMBER( "A"."OBJECT_KEY")
      FROM "OMS"."AUDITS" "A"
      WHERE "A"."ATTRIBUTE_NAME" = 'dateScheduled'
    AND "A"."CREATED_DATE" > SYSDATE - 16
    group by "A"."OBJECT_KEY"
    Incidently: u201CAND "A"."CREATED_DATE" > SYSDATE u2013 16u201D was used to limit the results from a huge table and u201816u2019 has no real significance other than trying to return the minimal results for the report.
    once I had the above I used this:
    datediff("H",{Command.INSTALLERCONTACTCREATEDDATE},{Command_1.DATESCHEDULEDCREATEDDATE})
    Now to what I need to do; if I provided too much info I am sorry, I just was hoping to give enough.
    I need the results  for a full work week; the catch is I donu2019t need it for the previous week but for two weeks back; i.e. if I ran the report  on Monday the 19th  I want to pull records from the 5th to the 9th
    I know that this formula:
    {Command.INSTALLERCONTACTCREATEDDATE} in
      CurrentDate - DayofWeek(CurrentDate) - 5
    to CurrentDate - DayofWeek(CurrentDate) u2013 1
    will pull the prior full business week (m-f); i.e.  ran on Monday the 19th- pulls records for the 12th to 16th, no good for me.
    Furthermore, if the field is populated late Friday afternoon and field is not populated until the next week I need to capture that on the following weeks report- eventhough the first part was populated the prior week.
    So, report runs Mon. the 19th captures 5th to 9th, but  is populated the 9th and the is not populated til the 12th, 13th, or 14th then that cant show on report for week of 5th to 9th, but on the report for 12th to 16th.
    Iu2019d greatly appreciate any assistance and apologize if I made little to no sense when describing my issue.

    Try:
    SELECT max(case when a.attribute_name = 'InstallerContact'
                        then "A"."CREATED_DATE" else null end) as installerContactCreatedDate,
                 max(case when a.attribute_name = 'dateScheduled'
                        then "A"."CREATED_DATE" else null end) as dateScheduledCreatedDate,
         TO_NUMBER("A"."OBJECT_KEY")
    FROM "OMS"."AUDITS" "A"
    WHERE
    ("A"."ATTRIBUTE_NAME" = 'installerContact'
       AND "A"."CREATED_DATE" > SYSDATE - 45) 
    OR
      ("A"."ATTRIBUTE_NAME" = 'dateScheduled'
       AND "A"."CREATED_DATE" between SYSDATE, - datepart("dw", sysdate) - 13
                                                 and SYSDATE - datepart("dw", sysdate) - 7 )
    group by "A"."OBJECT_KEY"
    having max(case when a.attribute_name = 'dateScheduled'
                        then "A"."CREATED_DATE" else null end) is not null
    (where datepart("DW", <date>) returns the day of week.  It's not clear what DB you are using.)
    This assumes that the installer date is within 32 days or so of the scheduled date.  Increase the 45 (or remove the date condition altogether - but that would be very slow on a big table) if that's not the case.
    sysdate - datepart() returns the prior Saturday,
    subtracting 7 days is the end of your week period (Saturday) two weeks ago,
    subtracting 13 is the Sunday of your week period two weeks ago.
    The case statement within the max() database aggregate functions will be null, and therefore not effect the results, if the attribute name is not the one we are interested in at the moment.
    The having clause will restrict the returned records to those objects scheduled within the week of interest.  (Since the WHERE clause is using an OR, there may be records with installerContact date > 45 days ago, but the dateScheduled is not within our week of interest.  In that case, the max() in the HAVING clause will be null.)
    And it's all done with one database query! 
    HTH,
    Carl

  • Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

    and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

    Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
    Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
    But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)
