Is there a way to automatically remove URL's from iCal events?

Is there a script or any easy way to remove URL's from iCal events? I like to print my daily calendar to insert into a small day planner but I have very long URL's wasting up space.

Is there a way to "automatically" remove duplicates in an iTunes library?

I know you can show duplicates, but you have to go in and remove them by hand. I have two libraries that are "almost" similar, but I would like to combine them into one library. If I just copy over one on top of another, I will surely end up with a HUGE amount of dups. I don't want to have to clean up by hand.
I would like to remove "exact" copies.
Any ideas?
Thanks

in iTunes, hold the option key while selecting file > Show/Display (Exact) Duplicates.
select the ones you want to delete and hit the delete key.
there are 3rd party apps that claim to be able to deal with dupes. among those is TuneRanger.
other options include [_*Araxis Find Duplicate Files*_|http://www.araxis.com/find-duplicate-files> (free trial) and [Dupin|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/dupin.php] (commercial).

Is there a way to automatically clean unused images from the DAM?

I'm trying to find a way to clean up the /content/dam folder from unused images and other assets.
Is there an automated tool for this? Search and remove type of SQL or XPath query?
How would I go about doing this?
(Manual removal is not an option. We have hundreds of images)
Thanks a lot in advance guys,
David

You are welcome. You can also find some script here [1] that does delete operation on DAM. You have to extend this script to check for references. Best way to do that would be to write a servlet that will return number of references based on DAM path and if result is zero then delete that node.
Or use CQ OOTB servlet (Use Curl command to check response)
http://localhost:4502/bin/wcm/references.json?path=<YOUR DAM ASSET PATH>
if this return empty then there is no reference.

Is there any way to add a task/reminder from iCal or Mail besides adding flags that have no date reminders?

Am I missing something? Is there a 3rd party software that does this? I came from Outlook with the ability to add tasks to my daily to-dos and give them start/end dates. Where can I do this with OSX 10.7?

Thanks for the feedback Kip - I did see this option in iCal, which BTW is not optimal at all as you have to retype the action item and due date. I was looking for a way to add to dos and reminders with due dates directly from Mail as I did with Outlook. I get a ton of emails that I want to follow-up on, but want to chhose when I get reminded, and actually have a remider pop-up when it is due/overdue. Hope that makes sense.

Any way to temporarily remove the clip from the ipod shuffle? I would like to see if it can be placed in speakers designed for the Nano.

is there any way to temporarily remove the clip from the ipod shuffle? I would like to try to connect it to speakers which are designed for ipod nano, but appear to be compatible with the shuffle, if it didn't have the clip.

Unfortunately, Apple can do no such thing. The most you can do is turn it over to the local authorities or the customer service desk if you found in a store or similar.
Kudos to trying to find the owner though!

Is there a way to affect the URL used when running a report subscription?

We are using SQL Server 2008 R2. I am finding out that when running a report subscription to extract a file in csv format, an extra blank line is created at the bottom (i.e., extra line feed), and the mysterious BOM characters also get inserted at
the beginning. Both of these "features" are causing problems with a client's import of these files. Of course, it affects multiple clients.
I have done some research and have found information on how to edit the rsconfigserver file to render CSV files using ASCII and to not use Excel formatting. This removes both "features"/problems stated above.
However, editing the server config file will affect all csv extractions on that report server. Is there a way to control the URL of a specific report subscription to include these values (so only the reports that need the fix get it)? For example,
someone gave this URL as an example of how to add parameters including encoding in the URL. http://MyReportServer/ReportServer?%2fReport+Folder%2fReportName&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=CSV&rc:Encoding=ASCII
Is there a way to have the report subscription run the report using a URL like this so it extracts it without the BOM characters? I was thinking a data driven subscription would allow me to set the values like this, but these parameters are only pertinent
AFTER the report is run and only needed for the final rendering. Not sure how to do this. Maybe it's not possible. If it's not, that's fine. I just need to write a proposal to our DBA's to talk them into making a couple edits to the server config
file.
Has anyone ever worked around this before in SSRS?
Thank you!!
Dana

Hi DanaSSRS,
According to your description, you want to have some report exported into CSV file with ASCII encoding when running a subscription. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we run the subscription, it will call the Render Extension as we configured in rsreportserver.config file, we can't set the Render format with ASCII Encoding on subscription level. As you said, the Render Extension we configured
in the rsreportserver.config will apply to all reports. In this scenario, you only want that extension apply to specific reports. For your requirement, we suggest you add a custom Render Extension in configure file. You just need to copy the CSV Extension
and add a <OverrideNames/> to override a new name. Then set the <Encoding> in <Configure>. And you can select this custom Extension when creating the subscription. This might be the most effective workaround.
Reference:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Is there no way to simply remove realplayer from the blocked list?

...My issue is someone disabled the realplayer extension / addon /
plug in for some ungodly reasoning due to some block list.
I'm over here cussing a blue streak at this choice of blocking,
especially when I cant goto my "add ons" area and simply click
"options/ turn on / enable etc" and what have you. Everything is greyed out thanks to an annoying block list filter.
Which, from my understanding doesnt even apply to my version of firefox. I have had realplayer on here for YEARS and it has never once caused me any problems.
And now because some one decides it causes issues with firefox version whatever, they're going to block it on a master block list for some reasoning? Tch.
Is there NO WAY to simply remove realplayer from this said block list? I know I can go into about;config and disable the -whole- list, which I dont want to do.
Cant someone make this thing a little more user friendly with the block list? Put some damn check boxes next to it so I can filter what I want.
And if someone tells me to update something or another... -twitch-
Everything had been working just fine for me until someone started playing with the ^%$#&ing block list.

You can try to delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.

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"?>

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,

HT2905 Is there a way to automatically delete exact duplicates in iTunes 11

Has anyone found a way to automatically delete Exact Duplicates from iTunes 11. As I read the instructions, it can only be done by comparing the songs with the same title, making sure that it is the same album, etc. Then I have been going through the duplicates and pressing CTRL in Windows to select the next duplicate song to delete. I have a very large library and this is going to take hours.
I guess I didn't get the instructions correctly when I backed up my Library to move from an old laptop to a new one. I am going to have to go back and read those again because this brand new HP is having problems like the past few that I have received from HP. I will never recommend an HP Product, I can tell you that.
Thanks to all for reading this and I hope someone has an answer to automate it.

When deduping use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
See also HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library.

If you still have the original library on the old laptop see this migrate iTunes library post. It may be easier and/or better to redo the transfer...

HT202299 Is there a way to automatically upload videos that last more than 5 minutes on icloud ?

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 sort/filter the itunes music list by files that cannot be located?

I have quite a lot of files that can't be located, and want to delete them all at once rather than clicking on everyfile to choose delete. Does anybody know of a way to sort the itunes listing so that I can group them all together to delete, or a way to automatically purge them all from the itunes file?

But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find
out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a
timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the
project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but
I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of
never finding it again.)
I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
something) of every single file.
There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
Peace

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 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.
