Is there a way to automatically ID &/or delete copies/doubles of songs?

I have several copied versions of my iTunes library on external HD's, and when I travel with my music, I use my laptop and then add music, and so I have several copies of my library, but none of them are complete. I am concerned re consolidating them because it appears that when one does that, it doesn't identify copies, and so I'd have to go through and delete all the doubles, which is a pain in the *!! Any instructions out there??? Thanks. Ben

Not sure about iTunes, but I do know that Tune Tools ( http://www.valusoft.com/products/tunetools.html )will show duplicates and allow for easy removal. I got mine as a gift, but I've see it in at Best Buy/CompUSA for $20. I'm sure there are other programs that'll do the same thing...

  • Is there a way to automatically detect and delete duplicate photos in a library

    I just imported a load of photos into my main iPhoto '11 Library from several older MAC's Photo Libraries. Despite repeatedly using the "Don't Import Duplicate Photos" dialogue box, I have many duplicate photos. Is there a way to automatically detect and delete Duplicate Photos?
    I also have iPhoto Library Manager installed on my MAC, but cannot seem to locate on it anything that would do this.
    I have over 4,000 photos, so would really appreciate some help here! Thanks in advance...

    duplicate annihilator - http://www.brattoo.com/propaganda/
    And NEVER import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library - doing so des not work and creates massive duplication
    if you still have all of the original iPhoto libraries I recommend you drag the bad one you created to the desktop (delete it later when everythin has successfully been completed) and start over usin iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to merge the libraries

  • Is there a way to automatically add another of the same page while a form is being filled?

    Is there a way to automatically add another of the same page while a form is being filled?
    I have a two-page form of which the second page is essentially a spreadsheet analog.  Often, there is need for for more lines than are available on the page.  Is there a way in which to add another or even multiple copies of the second page? 
    Thanks ahead...

    You can do that with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer, which comes with Acrobat Pro for Windows. For more information, you can ask over at the LiveCycle Designer forum.

  • Is there a way to automatically insert the filename in the footer of a spreadsheet using iWork's numbers 3.2?

    Is there a way to automatically insert the filename of a spreadsheet into the footer when using iworks numbers 3.2?  iworks 09 had this feature and I can't find this feature in the new version of numbers.

    Hi rhyolite,
    In Numbers 3.x, The Print View and Layout View have gone (for now at least). Page Headers and Footers can only be reached under Menu > File > Print... to open Print Preview. Hover the cursor to reveal the Page Header and Footer fields.
    The only inserts that I can get to work in Print Preview are Page Number, Page Count and Date & Time. Filename is no longer in the Insert menu.

  • Is there a way to automate the CFX tags installation?

    Hello,
    I'm currently in the process of re-installing a web farm of ColdFusion 8 servers (W2K8, IIS 7.5).
    I have to install a number of CFX tags (C++) on each server to get the code running.
    Is there a way to automate the installation of the CFX tags (regedit imports, VBS, PowerShell...)?
    I found some link indicating that keys should be imported in the registry at: HKLM\Software\Allaire, but Allaire does not even exist in this branch (I believe that the instructions were true of older versions of CF).
    I installed one of the tags manually and noticed that the file neo-runtime.xml was updated with:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <wddxPacket version="1.0">
      <header/>
      <data>
        <array length="18">

    Can I simply add the XML node to get it running?
    Thanks in advance for any lead to the solution.

    This is great! but I'm not there yet. I figured how to assign little midi triggered melodies to a touch track. I used to do stuff like this on an old Buchla years ago. How do I get the automation on the midi track to control the filter on an audio track? I created regions with the automation I want on a midi track, then I assigned those regions to keys with touch tracks. How do I get that to control the filter on the audio track?
    thanks,

    Is there a way to automatically upload videos that last more than 5 minutes from iphoto/photos ?
    I'm trying to find a way to store my photo library on the cloud, AND keep to acces to each photos/videos from the net (not just storing the .iphotolibrary on the icloud folder) but i cant do it for the videos of more than 5min ...

    I believe you are probably referring to iCloud photo sharing. If you wait a while, the next version of Yosemite will include the new Photos application which will sync video through the iCloud photo library feature.

  • Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig)?

    Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig).
    I know (in hindsight) that I can manually export it from the Airport Utility, but ideally I would like to include it in my Time Machine backup. I had a situation where my Airport Extreme (3rd generation) just stopped working (no lights, no power). I had not exported the config file. I bought a new Airport Extreme (5th generation) and had to manually configure the new router.
    Thanks

    One option would be to use Automator and record the actions to run the AirPort Utility; save the configuration file to the desktop (or any other location you want), and then, close the utility. You can then either make this a part of your login startup programs. Time Machine then should be able to make backups.

    Is there a way to automatically import artwork for music already in library?
    I just transferred all my music from a PC into my new mac.
    I saw a widget that fetches the album artwork from the web. great fun!!!
    Now is there a way to fetch all these artworks automatically.
    I did not use istore to buy the music - but imported from my cd collection.
    Thanks.
    What a great system - simple and no hassles. Thanks Apple. Goodbye PC.

    If you are using AlbumArt widget you can do this with the widget interface.

    I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

    I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
    Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

  • Is there a way to automatically refresh a webpage in Firefox 3.6.10?

    hi there,
    I am hoping the Firefox team can help with a small problem, is there a way of automatically refreshing webpages within Firefox 3.6.10 and 4.06 beta? We are building an interesting website at the moment and the client is using Firefox 3.6.10to view the site. Each time they go onto the new website to see the changes we have done, they are shown old pages. We need to rectify this problem as quickly as possible, for our client without requesting that they refresh the page each time they go onto the site.

    You can do that by changing a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # In the filter box type '''browser.cache''' to bring up a small number of preferences
    # Double-click on the preference '''browser.cache.check_doc_frequency''' and change its value to '''1'''
    For more details on that preference see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.check_doc_frequency

  • When downloading iTunes onto a new computer, is there any way to automatically import old music files? Last time I got a new computer I didn't have to use an external drive to update my music library.

    When downloading iTunes onto a new computer, is there any way to automatically important songs from your previous computer? I recently cracked the screen on my computer and cannot access any files. Last time I got a new computer my iTunes media files automatically appeared in my iTunes when I downloaded it, and I did not have to use my external drive. Is this still possible?

    If your backup copy of the old computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.

  • Is there a way to automate Reaktor in Logic 7

    Is there a way to automate Reaktor in Logic 7.. i.e all the nobs?
    Thanks soo much!
    Ian Buzz

    PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The best way to automate any NI instrument in Logic is to use Kore from NI.
    Kore opens as a pi and acts as host to single or multiple AU instances. Kore hardware has 8 buttons and 8 controllers assigned to control all parameters (all set up in factory presets, but also user controllable)
    When you open a software instrument in Logic using kore, Logic automatically assigns automation to 8 pages of the 16 controls. You do not need to set this up in Logic's cdontroller assignments, it happens automatically
    so if I open a sound in reactor I have no instant automation
    If I open the same sound in Kore I get up to 64 continuous controllers and 64 on/off switches instantly.
    I still find it hard to come to terms with how well kore works and how simple it is to use. Highly recommended.

  • Is there a way to automate genre assigning

    Typically when I insert a CD for import I have to select all the tracks and then assign a genre. Usually the track info iTunes grabs from CDDB are good, but the genre is off. Doing this for hundreds of CDs is a bit of a pain... I know Control-A will select all the tracks, but then from there I don't know a shortcut to Get Info and change genre. Ideally I could automate all of this and not even have to go through shortcuts. It would be great to stick a CD in and then run a 'macro' that grabs all the tracks and changes them to a given genre like Alternative.
    Any ideas on what my best options are? If not a macro... what about shortcut keyins at least?
    Thanks.
    -Mark
    ps - i know media monkey allows for this sort of macro... why not itunes?

    OK, working on my own answer here....
    Control-A (selects all)
    Control-I (get info dialog)
    Alt-G (genre field)
    Then type enough letters in the genre's spelling to get it to select.
    Easy enough. But is there a way to automate it to a click?

  • Is there any way to automate purging Application Logging in azure storage account tables

    is there any way to automate purging Application Logging in azure storage account tables
    Rohit Pasrija

    hi Rohit,
    If you want to delete old data automatically, I think you need develop this feature by yourself. You could code the logic methods on your project, and set a timer to execute the methods to delete old data. Please refer to this thread (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13602629/is-it-possible-to-acces-a-table-storage-in-azure-from-an-azure-web-site
    ), you could operate table storage data using azure sdk or REST API.
    Please try it.
