Intelligent duplication removal

I've imported thousands of duplicate songs/files, and can sort them by conventional methods. However, determining the highest-quality file seems to be a manual process.  I can't determine if or how to sort by Bit Rate, Sample Rate or File Size.
Is there an application or automated tool that will determine the higest-quality file (by the criteria listed above), and automatically delete the remaining, lower-quality duplicates without risking the unintended removal of a file/song that may share the same name, but varies in content (such as live vs. studio recordings, remixes and remastered files, songs with the same name performed by different artists and/or different lenghts of play time)?

  • Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)? 
    --- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
    4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
    Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal.  Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once?  If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
    If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
    1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
    2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
    If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
    To avoid this issue in the future:
    Keep regular backups.  They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
    Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
    Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
    Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
    Hope that information helps.

  • TV@nywhere Master Recording Problems

    The TV@nywhere Master works fine for viewing, but I can't record without problems.  There is a sound problem with all available versions of WinDVR.  The recorded sound regularly "warbles" or pulsates. It is detectable when a musical tone is playing, otherwise it may be hard to hear. It is very annoying once you pick up on it.  Other interVideo programs WinProducer and WinDVD Recorder exhibit the same problem.
    I tried PowerVCR and I get an error message when attempting to record in MPEG2:
    S0009 : Unable to render preview video stream.
    I have all the latest drivers and software versions. I even tried a clean install of Windows several times and a different sound card, but no luck. I'm getting nowhere with tech support. Very frustrating.
    ASUS A7N8X Deluxe MB
    Onboard nForce2 sound (also tried Soundblaster Audigy)
    AMD 2800+ Barton CPU

    250 Gig Hard drive
    Windows XP

    Using PowerVCR II 3.0, and there is no Use Smart Tee option available.
    Here's all the options:
    Video -> Overlay Options -> Overlay/Non-Overlay  (Non-overlay causes a crash)

    Recording / Advanced -> Advanced Options
    Video Smoothing (during recording) - unchecked
    Intelligent Noise Removal (during recording)  checked
    Enable Time-Shifting when recording  - unchecked
    Have tried changing most of these settings but always get error message, unless I use MPEG1 which is not acceptable quality.
    I did a search in Help for "Smart" and for "Tee" and there are no matches.

  • Telnet eating up CPU usage

    I was noticing that my fan was running rather strongly and my CPU temp was around 171 F. consistently. I went to Activity Monitor and noticed that "telnet" was using about 92% of my CPU. So I quit that process and everything has quieted down. Everything seems to be working (mail and safari anyway), and all is well. What is telnet anyway and is it something I need and if I don't is there a way to get rid of it? First time that I ever noticed it. What could cause this and will telnet start everytime I start up. I use a motorola roadrunner modem directly connected to my computer, but could use airport if needed (if this has anything to do with it).
    Thanks in advance.

    THat was my understanding of its function, too, Baltwo, but it is clearly an issue affecting quite a lot of people. The following threads provide just some examples:

    If it wasn't showing up during beta-testing perhaps it is one of those things that crept in at the last minute when something else was sorted out, or perhaps it only occurs in conjunction with some other third party software or fonts.
    Certainly seems to be causing a lot of people some grief, though.
    As you will see in the threads mentioned, unfortunately a number people seem to have gone down the validation/ duplication removal route without actually resolving the problem.
    All thoughts greatly valued.

  • TV@nywhere Master Plus AVI recording

    Anyone tried recording AVI (with Huffyuv codec for example) with the new TV@nywhere Master Plus?
    I'm only interested in recording in "raw" AVI since I want the best quality and editing possibilities.
    Since my TV@nywhere Master crashed I want to have another one and the follower seems to be what I want.
    I bought a Hauppauge Win TV PCI but it's not as sharp as the MSI card was, though the material sharps up nice in VirtualDub during post-processing with it's filters.
    Also the colors are a little bit dampened in comparison to the bright colors that the MSI card delivered, and this is probably also why the Hauppauge feels a little bit more natural in that area.
    But most of all I miss the sharpness the MSI card delivered.

  • After transition to iCloud, all local contacts lost

    Following a 'Bumpy" transition from MobileMe to iCloud (a lot of duplication removal and clean-up), I notice the the Address Book (unbeknownst to me) was showing iCloud as the Default Account.  When I select "On My Mac"/"All on My Mac", it appears as totally empty.  The 729 contacts in the iCloud Address Book stays in 'sync with the 729 contacts on my iPhone, (I added and deleted, just to make sure).  iCloud preferences seems to be setup correctly (iCal is working fine).  In Address Book Preferences, the Primary (top acct) is showing iCloud with and enabled check-box; the sendonday acct is showing On My Mac, but it has no Enable check-box - just two for syncronizing with Yahoo and Google (both un-checked).  I even disabled the iCloud acct and tried to import a recent .abbu fille into the 'On My Mac Address Book' with no affect.  Any pointers would be appreciated.

    at that time i think you select all thats why all were erased why do u create another account u can use 1google account.and try to recover or try to serch your contcat using PC companion there is a contact option and try it

  • HT1535 Is there a way to identify which copy of a duplicate is tied to a playlist so the correct duplication can be removed?

    Recent Window's Vista reimage resulted in many duplicates in iTunes Library.  Too many hands in the process.  I don't see a way to identify which version is tied to a play list so I can remove the unattached duplicate.

    Hello 3PodFam
    If you are trying to get rid of duplicates within iTunes, the articles below will give assistance on how to remove them from iTunes as well as backing up your playlist and then import them. The export or import a playlist go to File > Library and you will see either option at that point. To show duplicates go to View > Show Duplicates Items.

  • I cannot remove songs/duplications off iPad mini

    I updated my iPad by putting in a couple of songs ripped from CDs, and after the sync I found duplicates of every songs including purchased from iTunes Store. I resynced with my library (as I wasn't tethered to the main computer I use) and saw in iTunes only purchased and checked songs. However, looking on the iPad no songs were removed, duplicates retained. I've done a resync, automatic and manual adding, only add checked items, and deleting every individual song. Nothing seems to be working!
    iPad mini, iOS 7.1.2
    491 songs, no videos; 13.4 GB in use (3.6 GB remaining)
    PC: Windows 8.1, iTunes 11.3.0.54

    I have the same problem. I have 21 songs that cannot be deleted. I have tried to delete them from my phone using itunes. I have deleted them from my itunes library completely and when I sync the phone they just keep coming back. The phone shows the cloud symbol to the right of the song title. When you touch the symbol a circle with a square in the centre represents loading the song. When that is complete I try to swipe form right to left and a delete button appears. Great! but when you touch it the song remains and the cloud symbol has returned. I have even tried a master reset on my phone to no avail. I do not have itunes Match and when I log into the cloud there is no where I can see where these songs are stored. My fifteen year old daughter has spent 4 hrs trying to figure this out and she gave up! HELP PLEASE! The songs are an album my daughter purchased from the itunes store using my ID and although she loves them on her ipod I can't stand them and can't get them off my phone. I don't even know how they got there in the first place. Arrrrgh!

  • Windows taskbar icons now appear after f fox 10 install, how can i remove this duplication?

    since upgrading to FF 10 in windows 7, the taskbar now shows multiple icons, so when f fox opens it occupies a different position in the taskbar but the original icon still remains. can you help remove this annoying problem. thank you

    Very simple:
    Close FF. Right click on the FF icon, un-pin it. Then start FF from the installer folder (most probably something like c:\program files\firefox\firefox.exe), drag the icon to the desired position on the win7 task/superbar and re-pin it. That's it.
    Have fun. :)

  • How do you remove a deleted user's cyrus mailbox?

    Hi everyone,
    I am having a little trouble with a user's account on Mac OS X 10.4.8 Server. This is a short description of what has happened.
    1. Created a user in WGM.
    2. User then sends and recieves lots of email over a long period, with no apparent issues and uses the webmail interface as well as pop3 mail application on home PC (as expected!).
    3. User uses webmail one day and discovers a server error in red writing.
    4. Semi intelligent server admin guy (me) decides to delete the user account in WGM and then re-create the user in WGM in the hope of deleting the mailbox in the process.
    5. Semi intelligent server admin guy discovers that the delete/re-create procedure doesnt remove the mailbox so he decides to search apple support forums.
    Hence the reason for this post. Can anybody show me how to delete the mailbox for a user, either in GUI server admin or WGM or even terminal?
    Also I have tried adding the diradmin account to the list of cyrus admins in imapd.conf so that the IMAP application can access all mailboxes but I only get read access, so I cant delete it that way, well unless I skipped a step.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kyran McGlasson

    Yes, I saw that but was a tad puzzled. I see in your help file that you advise creating a new user for imap administration, but (lazy me) I just plugged my server admin into the imapd.conf file and did not create a separate user. My thinking was that the OSX Server mail manual states:
    1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computers & Services pane.
    2 Click Settings.
    3 Select the General tab and select Enable IMAP, if it is not already checked.
    4 Select an existing user or create a new user using Workgroup Manger to be an IMAP
    administrator.
    5 If you have not created a user record for the mail administrator’s account, see the user
    management guide.
    6 Open /etc/imapd.conf in a text editor.
    If you are not comfortable using a terminal text editor like emacs or vi, you can use
    TextEdit.
    7 Find the line that reads “admins:”
    8 Edit the line to add the UID number of the administrator account after the colon.
    9 Save your changes.
    10 In your email client application, create an account that uses IMAP to connect to your
    mail service using the mail administrator name.
    For more information, see the man page for imapd.conf.
    And therefore I didn't think a separate user necessary. However, even using their method, I cannot connect to the folders via a client, so I gather you are correct!
    So, I create a separate user, name him "imapadmin" or some such, mod the imapd.conf file accordingly, restart, and then . . . how do I give my new imapadmin the necessary permissions?
    I can, by the bye, delete folders using the direct Cyrus Admin method spelled out on pterobyte's site here:

  • How to remove all duplicate values from a column

    For some reason when a user is adding a record, it duplicates it three times. Why is that happening?
    Since there is many how can I remove any records that contains a duplicate in a specific column?

    Is this happening for all lists in site collection or this is the only one?
    Check on the list if there is any workflow attached. If yes then open the workflow in designer and check its logic it might be written to copy list items.
    Investigate if there is an event receiver deployed in your site where it creates duplicate entries. There has to be some custom code running which is causing this duplication otherwise out of the box behavior of lists is never like this.

  • I've moved iTunes to an external hard drive now have massive duplication of albums

    Recently moved my iTunes folder to an external hard drive. Used the Itunes preferences to transfer the itunes folder to a new location. Didn't transfer it manually or by drag and drop! Followed this - I hope correctly - by using the iTunes/File/Library/Organise Library tool. May have got this bit wrong....
    Result?.........
    Here we see, in the second column, that I have both an 'iTunes Music' folder and a folder simply called 'Music' (Highlighted in red). You'll have to take my word for it but these folders have different amounts of music in them. Some is duplicated, some albums are split across the two folders. Howwever, most empty folders are in the 'iTunes Music' folder, whereasost complete folders are in the 'Music' folder! In addition, There's a 'Compilations' folder within the 'iTunes Music' folder (highlighted in blue with a red arrow) which has a small number of compilations most of which I've never selected as compilations.
    Note the repetition of folders called 'Automatically add to iTunes' in both the 'iTunes' folder and the 'iTunes Music' folder. There's another one of these in the 'iTunes Media' folder.
    Going further in.....
    Here we have the 'Music' folder in the 'iTunes' folder. It has its own 'Compilations' folder which is even larger and more irrelevent than the previous one. It also has way more album folders than the 'iTunes Music' folder itself.
    If I use the  iTunes/File/Library/Organise Library procedure the splash screen that comes up allows me to choose the first optiuon but the second one is greyed out.
    One of the results of this is duplicated albums on my iPhone, another is randomly missing tracks in my collection. In addition, my iTunes screen saver now has duplicate album covers and many album covers that I know I've downloaded at high resolution have just gone missing making my iPhone look like its been populated by a chimp! (no offence to our cousins) Where I've discovered a missing track I've used the 'File/ Add to library' procedure. In one case it copied an album folder from the 'iTunes Music' folder where I found it into the 'Music' folder on another occasion exactly the same procedure left the album precisely where it was.
    BTW, I have another iTunes folder on my Mac with all the normal stuff in it but only music that I had to add whilst nopt connected to my hard drive.
    How can I remove this massive duplication safely?
    How can I consolidate my files efficiently without having to go through each folder separately?
    How can I remove all these albums from 'Compilations' and prtevent other albums being added?
    How can I get all my album artwork back in sync?
    Phew!
    Thanks!

    The folders and files are all normal to a basic iTunes library. They would be there even if you didn't have a single media file.  Until you start up with the option key held down, iTunes will keep on looking for your library on the internal drive and will repopulate that folder with those basics if you delete them.  You should have a similar folder with contents on your external and that is the one you want iTunes to use.  As long as you keep it all intact while copying from one drive to the other, iTunes will be internally consistent and you won't even have to change preferences.
    Preferences window
    iTunes Media folder location: Just that; where iTunes keeps media. This is not necessarily where the library files (which are what ties the whole thing together) are to be found.
    Keep Media Folder Organized - put all your files in folders according to type and name and album etc.
    Copy Files to iTunes Media Folder - put it this way, if you didn't have that checked itunes would leave the files wherever you had them when you added them to the library. this one makes sure there is a copy (though not necessarily the only one, but the only on iTunes uses) in your media folder.
    What actions take place when itunes "consolidate library" is used?
    When you consolidate iTunes looks at all the files you have listed in iTunes and puts them in the location indicated by your media file preference.  I don't think it hunts around your drive looking for things that aren't in the library, it just places a copy of those that are innto your media folders.  If you want a searching tool you'll have to use a script that does that kind of job.
    Your original images are not showing for me so I can't tell what exactly you are seeing.
    Again, what I would do given what you have told me is I would make sure iTunes is using the library on the external by holding down the option key while starting iTunes (you only neeed to do that once).  If you find there are files on your internal drive that are not in the library on the external then add those and iTunes will place a copy on hte external if you have that "copy files..." preference checked.  You'll lose a few things such as playcounts, ratings, on those.  If you absolutely must keep those there are a few tricks that can be performed but that's another very long post.

  • A "FIX" for Users of PC Suite 6.83 and Removing th...

    To conduct the fix immediately, just skip down to about the 3rd paragraph below called "The FIX" for me! This other stuff is some backgroung I wanted to give.
    Bottomline...6.83 has a serious problem when you istall it, and I spoke with a Nokia technical rep 2 days ago and he confirmed it. Unfortunately, Nokia doesn't have a clue to what is the root cause problem. The Nokia rep recommended that I "NOT" use version 6.83. Since they are having so many issues with it, I don't understand why they don't just remove it from their website? No matter what you try you will not get it to work properly!
    Now when you try to uninstall 6.83, you also get into trouble. You can unistall the PC Suite 6.83 core application , but the cable driver portion remains. Now when you try to remove the cable driver, under ADD / REMOVE Programs, you get the following error" The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". Again, the Nokia rep was clueless as to why I was receiving the error message and had no additional help for me in removing the cable driver. It just seemed no matter what I tried I could not remove the cable driver nor could I reinstall PC Suite either version 6.83 or 6.82. Finally, last night I stumbled upon a note from another digruntled nokia 6.83 user that led me to search the following Microsoft info regarding a little program called "Windows Installer Cleanup Utility".
    My setup:
    Phone - Nokia 9300
    Cable - Nokia DKU-2
    PC Suite - 6.83
    PC OS - Win XP SP2
    "THE FIX" for me:
    1. Go to (ADD / Remove Programs) and uninstall PC Suite 6.83. This only removes the core program and "not" the cable driver
    2. Now go to the following MS website and download and Run the "Windows Installer Cleanup Utility".
    (http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe)
    Once you download this small MS utility, go down to my item #3 below for further immediate instructions!

    Warning The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is provided "as is" to help resolve installation problems for programs that use Microsoft Windows Installer. If you use this utility, you may have to reinstall other programs. Caution is advised.

    SUMMARY
    Microsoft has updated the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. With the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, you can remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information. You may want to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program if you experience installation (Setup) problems. For example, you may have to remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information if you have installation problems when you try to add (or remove) a component of your program that was not included when you first installed your program.
    The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not perform the following functions: • Remove Windows Installer
    • Remove files of any programs that are installed by Windows Installer, such as Microsoft Office 2003
    The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does perform the following functions: • Provides a dialog box in which you can select one or more programs that were installed by Windows Installer
    To do this, select the programs that you want in the Installed Products list in the Windows Installer CleanUp dialog box. After you make this selection, the utility removes only the Windows Installer configuration information that is related to those programs.
    • Removes the files and registry settings that make up the Windows Installer configuration information for programs that you select
    If you use this utility to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program and you plan to reinstall the program, you should reinstall the program in the same folder where you originally installed it. This prevents duplication of files on your hard disk or disks.

    3. Now go to START/PROGRAMS/Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. When you run this utility, a window will open up that lists all the of the programs that you have installed. It looks a little bit like the add/remove program window. Now Select the "Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver" and the "PC Connectivity Solution programs, then run the utility. It only takes about 15-30 seconds to run.
    4. Now go back to the Add /Remove Programs in Control Panel and try and remove "Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver" and the "PC Connectivity Solution programs now. They should now uninstall!
    5. Next I restarted my computer.
    6. DO NOT install 6.83!!!!
    7. Now go to Nokia website and download PC Suite version 6.82_rel_22:
    http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/software/Nokia_PC_Suite_682_rel_22_0_eng_us_web.ms...
    7. You should now be back in business with a working version of PC Suite.
    It is obvious that there is a serious issue with the cable driver portion of 6.83 that corrupts MS Windows Installer program during the install process. Even though you initially can install 6.83, the cable driver is messed up. Also, you can't then uninstall the cable driver unless you run the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility.
    After a month of fighting this issue, the Windows Installer Cleanup utility was the key to clearing the conflict of the cable driver. Unfortunately, 6.83 has a serious issue with the cable driver.
    Good luck everyone...Sorry for being long winded!

    Hi diving_catch
    Just wanted to say a big thank you as a large number of forum members are having grief over this one!
    Might I add that I was happily using 6.82 rel_22.0 until NSU decided that it was time to update........you guessed PCSuite no longer worked. On Xp I uninstalled PC Suite + Nokia Connectivity Driver, installed and ran Nokia PC Suite Cleaner - option clean-up computer, rebooted and at least for now 6.83 v14.1 seems to function with N95. As no updates are available yet I haven't installed Nokia Software Updater!
    Many thanks also for the link to PC Suite 6.82 rel_22.0 as I shall probably need this soon.
    Interesting for Nokia comment as it's successor is currently out beta testing!
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0
