Import from iPhoto: how to get rid of unwanted copies and thumbnails?

Hi,
Browsing through my 37000 images - mostly imported from iPhoto, I recogize that a lot of them are (for some strange reason, or error on my part) imported twice.
It typically manifest itself like 2 project files like this:
2003-05-16-21-2
2003-05-16-21-2 (1)
....with a lot of the content in the 2 projects being identical. I also get quite a bit of projects with names ending with .."Thumbs" containing small images.
Is there a way of safely removing identical copies and thumbs without having to traverse all the folders/projects manually?
Best regards,
Kjell Are

I have very thin, colored lines running vertical on my desktop monitor screen. I don't know where they come from or how to get rid of them. I started with one and now have three. Can anyone give me some insight about what to do in getting rid of them?

I have very thin, colored lines that have shown up on my IMac monitor screen. I don't know where they came from or how to get rid of them. I'm concerned now because I started with one and now have three. Does any know why this occurs or how to get rid of them?

I got an address from Applecare, although I can't place my hand on it right now. I didn't bother persuing the letter route myself as I didn't expect much. I know that the location was Cork, Ireland though as that where the UK Applecare is based as far as I'm aware. The best thing to do is to call Applecare (if it's free) and discuss the issue. State that you are not happy wit the fact that you will have to pay to have the problem resolved especiiay if it is an ongoing problem that has not been resolved. I ended up speaking to a senior manager of the Applecare team who then proceeded to tell me about mailing in my grievence to customer services division or something like that.
If I can find the address I may post it if I'm allowed.
In the case of age, Schools usually have a 5-year life-cycle as they tend to be used differently than consumer machines, i.e. being used constantly on a daily basis for at least 12 hours with no break. you would expect issues to appear after a few years, but I expect problems that arise through defects to be resolved and stay resolved. As I mentioned we had machines for around 2 years before the lines appeared and sent them to be repaired. I'm happy with that. What I am unhappy about is the fact that the problem has reappeared exactly in the same way and now I'm left with around 7 machines that I either pay loads to repair or, the more likely replace the machines with newer ones since the age is now big enough to warrant the replacement.
Sorry for the lengthy moan, but these are the reasons I purchased Apple ahrdware in the first place to avoid the "not our problem" stance some PC vendors usually take, similar to the Dell monitors thread mentioned in here somewhere.

I'm using movie program how do get rid of background noise and put music over top of video

Niel,
Thanks for your suggestion about using RCDefaultApp. I am hesitating to do this because it seems like I'd be installing still another piece of software to fix the original mistake---downloading Reader.
About 20 years ago I maintained---with considerable handholding---UNIX systems of various sorts. Can you suggest how I might find the plist that seems to require changing?
BTW, Preview is called whenever I open some random .pdf file. The problem appears when I want to get a file from the web. If the site permits a "download" I can get the file, but if I want to "view and print" the file, the evil dark-grey Adobe screen appears with the whirling black ball. Then Safari quits. I'm wondering if the reference to Reader is in a "cookie" sent from the website, when I first was installing Reader. Is this possible?

If you have somehow acquired adware or malware, or maybe some add-ons to your browser
that can be seen in that part of your preference controls for the browser, you may be able to
follow instructions on adware removal to be sure that isn't the problem. You can also go into
the browser and be sure the add-ons don't load.
Some items such as Spigot, genieo, and others can be included in free download or other sites
where the content is spiced with badware; sometimes a click-to-download gets you some other
content instead of what you thought it was. There even are browser redirecting items that keep
you looking at some page you don't want; and if you click on stuff, you may get more badware.

Some may suggest also using a tool by the name Etrecheck, but this by itself does nothing if
you don't know what to do next, however it does give you a partial list of some potential items
that could be indicative of troublesome software or adware, stuff to also remove.

After importing from iPhoto, how would you eliminate the photos?

I have installed Aperture adn like it quite a bit. I imported from iPhoto (which copies over the pictures...not move.)
I have backed up the photos in iPhoto to an external hard drive in case Aperture blows up on me and I need to go back to iPhoto. But now that I have done that, what is the suggested way to get all those pictures out of iPhoto? so I can get back that disk space.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what's wrong with simply deleting and then emptying the trash?

How to get rid of old documents and emails?

hi,
how do i get rid of old documents and emails from my computer? i know they are there because when i type something in my search bar, i get documents and emails i got years ago. what do i do to get rid of these things?
thank you,
yellow_lamp
what i meant to say, if i didn't say it clear enough, was how do i get rid of old documents and emails that are not currently in my document folder or in my email inbox.

Select the email/s you want to get rid of and then select delete. When all the emails are deleted, select your Trash mailbox, select all the emails and then select delete.
Documents you can drag to the trash (lower right side of Dock). Then empty the trash.
Then stop down to your local bookstore and get some books on Mac OS X.

A line appeared in the backdrop, how to get rid of it? (and how did it get there?)

the site was published and everything looked great, except we had to make several changes to the content and somehow along the way a line appeared on the master page (hence appearing on all pages). i can't figure out how to get rid of it, and it's driving me nuts. any advice would be much appreciated.
thank you in advance for you help!

Hello,
Are you talking about the Shadow effect on the page : http://trainingwebcom.worldsecuresystems.com/SachinFTP/2013-12-05_1415.png
Or is it about the line on the homepage : http://trainingwebcom.worldsecuresystems.com/SachinFTP/2013-12-05_1416.png
In case it is about the shadow, please go to Master page, click on some blank area and check in the toolbar at the top if there is some effect applied to page : http://trainingwebcom.worldsecuresystems.com/SachinFTP/2013-12-05_1417.png
It can be Shadow, Bevel or Glow effect applied. You can uncheck it and it should be good.
Let us know if it helps or not.

Sachin

HT4623 How to get rid of YouTube desktop and go back to YouTube Moible

How to get rid YouTube desktop or how to get YouTube working when it's on the desktop version or get it back to Moible for iPad2

There is a Mobile link at the bottom of the web page, although I suspect you already found it is broken and doesn't work. To switch back to the mobile version you will have to clear the cookies and cache for Safari. You will have to log into any web sites you set to remember you again. Go to Settings/Safari/Clear Cookies and Data.
You will have to do the same in any other web browser you are using although the clear data setting may be in an other location. There is also a YouTube app available which is tuned for the iPad and does work a little better.

Import from iPhoto: how does Aperture manage videos?

This is relevant to some persons migrating from iPhoto to Aperture. My iPhoto Library contains a few small camera videos. I know Aperture doesn't handle these. When it does the import into Aperture, does it let the user know that there are some files it can't handle? Does it make it easy for someone to discard their iPhoto Library without losing the videos?

So someone who wished to dump their iPhoto Library after migrating to Aperture, might unwittingly lose videos they'd forgotten about -- they have to know to search for the videos and set them aside. Aperture does not help avoid that error.
(I saw your note on needing to keep iPhoto. It's true that one may use iPhoto for its many unique secondary services, but keeping two libraries of the same images is ridiculously inefficient.)
I've long been tempted to migrate to Aperture, but the inability to change 'image acquired' dates, concerns about how trustworthy the iPhoto migration really is, and Aperture's lack of official support for the MacBook have all held me back.
This lack of attention to detail wrt to iPhoto import reinforces the sense I have that Aperture isn't where I personally need it to be (not that iPhoto is perfect, but that's the devil I know). I know it works well for many others and I may yet migrate --- probably in a year or two and then only if they decide to support the MacBook.

How to get rid of unwanted brush border

I'm using a freeware 'blood splatter' brush but when I place it down there's an ugly border surrounding it - same thickness as brush stroke. It's not part of the actual brush effect itself though.
How do I get rid of it?

Actually i was doing it wrong - I just dragged the brush out onto the page and this makes the border appear.
However if I use the brush the 'correct' way - by drawing using the pencil tool then with the line still selected pick a bloody splatter brush - the colour of the brush is it's default black and not what I has selected - in this case green.
How do I change the colour of the brush or do some brushes just support a single colour?
