Is there a way to compare two .itl files?

I recently uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes on my Vista machine. I then re-imported all by music, which resulted in a new .itl file. I then realized I could use my old .itl file and preserve some data, such as date added, play count, etc. I notice, however, that the new .itl file says that there are seven more items in the library than were in the old one (out of over 11,000 items). I am curious as to what these 11 items are, since I didn't make any additions to the library between the date of the old .itl file and the new one (they both have the same date stamp, in fact, though the new one is several hours newer than the old one). Is there any way to compare these .itl files and see what the additional items are? Thanks.

You have to do it on a field-by-field basis in a formula using the Previous() function.  However, you cannot "nest" calls to either Previous() or Next() - in other words, you can't do something like Previous(Previous(<some field>))  You'll also need to look at OnFirstRecord and/or PreviousIsNull() to work with data on the first row of the report.

  • Is there a way to compare the contents of a library by comparing itl files or some other files?

    Is there a way to compare the contents of a library by comparing itl files or some other files?
    I need to compare the contents of my current library to one that existed 2 months ago but ALL I have is the itl file from 2 months ago.  Can this be done?

    You are correct, many people have noticed over the years that Sound Check does not work as advertised.
    A more effective approach is to treat the files with a 3rd party volume normalization program. Although I have not personally used it, many users on this Forum have reported good results from an inexpensive program called iVolume.

  • Is there any way to compare between last two activation of a Transformation

    Hi,
    I have activated a transformation 2 days back. Later on I found that the same transformation has been activated by someone else. I knew that from the transport organizer. I want to know what changes has been done after my activation. I have gone through each and every step i.e start routine or field routine everything. Didn't find any commenting also. Is there any way  to compare the version between last two activation of that transformation or any BW Object.
    Any version management option is available or not.
    Thanks in advance

    You can get the information who had changed and at wht time from the properties of the Transformations
    Menu --> Transformation -> properties --> you can get who had changed n time...
    if you want to compare the versions .... you can follow the below steps...
    From the menu bar of transformations -->Extras --> display generated program --> utilities --> versions --> version management
    This will display the changes made... if any.
    if there are no changes it will display only one...version.

  • Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

    Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
    I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
    Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
    I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.

    Thanks!

    What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
    To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

  • Is there a way to have two separate projects open in different windows?

    On my old editing software, I could have two separate projects open at the same time. I could copy clips from Project A, click over to Project B, and paste the Project A clips to Project B. Is there a way to have two separate projects open with Premiere Elements, or will I have to just import and trim every clip within the same project?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, PrE will not allow two Projects to be open at the same time. It will also not allow multiple instances of PrE to be open.
    The workaround, to accomplish what you describe, is to use a ClipBoard Extender, such as ClipMate, which will allow one to Copy a Timeline, or parts of it, from one Project, then Close that one, to Open another one, and Paste the material, that was Copied. Many users employee ClipMate, or similar, to Copy/Paste material from one Project, to another.
    Good luck,

  • Is there a way to add two windows in the same window?

    is there a way to add two windows in the same window?

    what do you mean by your first use of the word "window"? do you mean a visible frame? a section of the gui that the user doesnt see?
    or perhaps you mean you want to add multiple tabs to a single window, so that switching between tabs shows different windows?

    You're confusing icloud and itunes store accounts.  Individual users should have their own icloud accounts (using their Apple ID) but multiple users can share the same ID for logging into the itunes store account.

    Photoshop only has one Color Palette.  If you could script something  like a Color Palette with  two sets of active sliders the script would be in control till you dismissed its sliders dialog.  You would not be able to do anything but adjust the script's sliders in Photoshop while the script dialog window is being displayed.  Photoshop Scripting does not have real palette dialog type support.
    I do not know what is possible with Photoshop extensions using HTML 5 Panels.....

  • In Firefox 10, is there a way to add two "Open a new tab" buttons like in Firefox 3.6?

    This UI change is really stupid and useless. People got used to some specified menu items order. Changing this order could only annoy and anger.
    Also the reload button has been relocated. This is another example of stupid Firefox 4 UI change. The good news is that it could easily be relocated to its original place.
    It looks like the Firefox developers are suffering from idleness and boredom.
    CHANGE IT BACK ASAP!!!

    With the timeline selected, go to File/Export/Movie and export each as a DV-AVI video.
    You can then combine those AVIs into a new project with virtually no loss of quality.

  • Is there a way to combine two itunes accounts?

    Is there a way to combine two seperate itunes accounts into one?  My husband and I both have itunes accounts and we want to combine into one.  Is this possible yet?  How do I do this?  Thanks! 

    It's not currently possible to combine iTunes accounts or to transfer content from one account to another account. You should be able to have both accounts authorised on the computer's iTunes that you sync to (via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option) - but the apps will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, so only that account will be able to download updates to those apps.
    Also note that using iTunes match, using automatic downloads or re-downloading past purchases will risk tying that computer (or device) to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • Is there a way to combine two backups on separate disks created by time machine into one on a single disk?

    Is there a way to combine two backups on separate disks created by time machine into one on a single disk? One backup is a continuation of the other and was created when I rec'd a message that the 1st disk was full. I'm using a iMac (late 2010) and both external drives are WD. Thanx.

  • I'd like to print an 8x12 and cut it in half to make two 4x12 panorama type pictures.  Is there any way to combine two pictures (each cropped to 4x12) into one frame so I can print out the 8x12 and trim it after printing?

    I'd like to print an 8x12 and cut it in half to make two 4x12 panorama type pictures.  Is there any way to combine two pictures (each cropped to 4x12) into one frame so I can print out the 8x12 and trim it after printing?

    To clarify, I want to be able to make a flie I can take to a photo printing place (not for my own printer) so they can print it and I crop it.  The place I used to print at used to print an 8"x12" for the same price as 8"x10" (now they may only do 8x10 and I would need to keep the ratio the same so it would be two 3.3"x10" pics on an 8x10").  Any help is veryappreciated!
