Is there auto detect duplicates to prevent copying in iTunes 11?

This seemed to be a legacy issue. So I'm wondering if the latest iTunes resolved this problem.
It is fine to be able to detect and delete but the point is it shouldn't happen in the first place. So I'm hoping the new iTunes is able to detect the latest and keep only the latest copy. Avoiding duplicates should be built into the system.
Also, it could be smarter when it says 'Delect Exact Duplicates' that it does exactly just that ie list the duplicates copies, not include the original or latest copy. That way you can select all the 'duplicates' and delete at one go.
I hope someone from Apple gets to read this. Thanks.
P/S: btw, 'Detect Exact Duplicates' will only show up AFTER you search for it in Help. Otherwise, only 'Detect Duplicates' shows. I think its a glich.

Apple don't read these forums for feedback, that should go to iTunes Feedback.
Not creating duplicates in the first place is mainly a matter of organized workflow. If, before you rip one of your CDs, you check to see if you already have the album, then you can avoid creating duplicates. In fact iTunes will generally notice if you try to import the same CD twice. If, however, you import files ripped with another package into your library, and then decide to rip the CD with iTunes it probably won't make the connection.
I've written recently in this post on why you might end up with duplicates and how you might remove them manually, though you probably already know. I've also written a Windows script to automate the removal of two classes of duplicates. As a Mac user you could take advantage of the efforts made by Doug Adams who has scripts for most organizing iTunes needs and some software for duplicates in particular.

  • Prevent Copy From for UDF

    Hi,
    We are developing an add-on on SAP Business One 2005 SP1.
    We have a UDF on the Marketing document header.
    This UDF is populated while creating a Sales Order.
    However while creating a Delivery or an A/R Invoice based on the sales order using the Copy From or Copy To function also copies the values in the UDF.
    Is there a way to prevent this.
    Is there a way to clear this UDF after the Copy From or Copy To Event.
    Regards,
    Pankaj Mathur

    Hi Pankaj,
    There is no way to prevent copying the values.
    You could user the formData Event for clear the UDF fields after creation of the new document.

  • Is there a way that you can copy and paste blade effects from one clip to the other so that the cuts are an exact duplicate of each other?

    Is there a way that you can copy and paste blade effects from one clip to the other so that the cuts are an exact duplicate of each other?

    The same cuts that I have in this clip that i performed with the blade tool, I want to duplicate, copye, paste and apply to another clip. I want the cuts to mimic and be an exact same. I wish i could highlight the clip, click copy and then highlight the other clip and then click paste and the cuts apply.

  • Is there a way to detect duplicates?

    I have several Albums that are very large. Is there an easy way to detect duplicates within the same Album in iPhoto?
    Thanks

    Here's my updated review of duplicate finder apps:
    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates:  PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • NLB detected duplicate cluster subnets - Exchange Server 2010 SP3 CU5

    Hi All,
    I will explain the environment first,  there are:
    -Two HUB/CAS servers (WNLB)
        --HUBCAS01
        --HUBCAS02
    -Two Mailbox servers (Failover Clustering)
        --MAILBOX01
        --MAILBOX02
    *All servers are updated to Exchange Server 2010 SP3 CU5.
    The issue is that from recently outlook users are disconnecting from the outlook and cannot be joined to the exchange server unless if I drainstop or stop HUBCAS01. Furthermore, if I start HUBCAS01 from WNLB it will work fine for sometimes yet it will randomly
    disconnects outlook users from exchange again (For ex: next day morning).
    So far when I search deeper in Event log, there is an warning event log:
    Event ID 18: NLB cluster [192.168.*.*]: NLB detected duplicate cluster subnets. This may be due to network partitioning, which prevents NLB heartbeats of one or more hosts from reaching the other cluster hosts. Although NLB operations have resumed properly,
    please investigate the cause of the network partitioning.
    Now I hope you will provide this link to resolve this issue - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc726421(v=ws.10).aspx
    But I don't think that this will resolve this issue, as i have tried this for 3 times, yet no luck. Please help me to resolve this issue permanently. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    The issue is mainly related to the HUBCAS01 server. To deep investigate the issue, you need to take RPCTrace from the Outlook client and see the details. Even more, it’s better
    to take a Network trace to check the details of the network.

  • Exporting sequence and auto-detect files on another Mac

    I'd like to export a sequence from one to another Mac - without copying the original video files used, as they're already on the other Mac.
    Is there a way to auto-detect the files used in the sequence on the new Mac, so I don't have to manually locate them when importing the sequence?

    Yeah, that's what it does - I'm just trying to figure out if there's a way to do it automatically for all to begin with, and not having to manually select one first.
    But thanks!

  • Auto-Detect Screen Resolution Does Not Work Across Multiple Monitors With Different Resolutions

    Hi,
    The Acrobat Pro DC (15.007.20033.2203) auto-detect screen resolution feature does not work with multiple monitors at different resolutions.  Acrobat looks fine on my hidpi primary laptop display (Razr 14" 2014) but is completely unusable if I drag or extend the application to a standard HD resolution secondary monitor. Dragging Acrobat from my primary desktop display to the secondary display causes the UI elements to become 2x as large as they should be and makes Acrobat unusable. 
    Is there a way to make Acrobat auto-detect the display that it is currently on? 
    Thanks!

    To prevent it from happing again, you can
    1. go to the Mouse preference and turn off the scroll zoom feature.
    2. go to the Universal Access preference and disable the zoom features.

  • Buffered Edge Counting 20 MHz with duplicate count prevention

    Dear all,
    I went through the specs of several boards (M- series, S- and E- series, 6602 etc...). It seems that these boards can count edges with duplicate count prevention on at a maximum rate <= 20 MHz (i.e., 1/4 of 80 MHz) - but maybe I have misunderstood the docs.
    Is there a NI board capable of buffered edge counting with a general purpose counter for random events going at rates from 0 Hz to > 20 MHz? Do I need to look for a reconfigurable board?
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear Elizabeth,
    Thanks for the answer.
    In my application, events arrive asynchronously (actually, randomly). During the duration of a gate (namely, 1 microsecond), one expects anything from 0 to many (i.e., possibly more than 20, up to 80) events. This requires duplicate count prevention. 
    I may have misunderstood the specs for M series boards, but the document:
    Using Duplicate Count Prevention for Counter Tasks in NI-DAQmx
    from the NI web site, for instance, states that:
    "All the other timebase edges that occur while the external source input is high are ignored. If no source edges are detected between two gate edges, as shown in Figure 3, duplicate count prevention ensures that pulse measurements return zero because the external source must be logic high to allow the internal timebase to increment the count register. This reduces your maximum source frequency to quarter of the original maximum (80MHz) timebase for NI-STC II and NI-TIO boards. Therefore duplicate count prevention should only be used if the frequency of the Source signal is 20 MHz or less.
    Duplicate count prevention should only be use in the following situations:
    Counter measurements
    The counter Source is using an external signal (such as PFI x)
    The frequency of the external source is 20 MHz or less
    What's your take on that?
    Thanks for your time.

  • IMac always auto detects for external monitors after waking from sleep or from display off

    I've got a Dell 24" monitor (2408WFP) plugged into my mid 2011 iMac via DVI cord and thunderbolt attachment. Things work fine.
    When I need to leave my computer, I usually turn the displays off using the shortcut keys: CTRL + SHIFT + EJECT
    This works perfectly and both displays go black. However, when I return to my computer and reactivate the iMac, the iMac display will turn blue as if I have just plugged in a new monitor even the external monitor is still plugged in. It usually flashes blue twice before displaying the password prompt. I can usually just log back in as normal. I've never had this happen before using Snow Leopard. It's annoying but strange.
    However, even more strange is that sometimes when returning to the desktop, the iMac will do the auto detect display thing and then when I log back in, the external display just shows static as if there is no signal. I've checked the cable a million times and everything is as tight as tight can be and both ends are plugged in properly. Unplugging the displayport adapter from the iMac and then reattaching it restores the desktop on the secondary display although sometimes, it results in the secondary display showing a gray background picture instead of my normal picture. Replugging the secondary display seems to fix that too although sometimes it doesn't.
    Why is this happening?
    - Problem with the adapter?
    - Problem with the DVI cable I'm using?
    - Compatibility issues with my external monitor?
    I need to stress the point that this has never happened before with Snow Leopard.
    If I am the only one experiencing this then I suppose it may be an issue with the iMac or adapter or even the cable. But if anyone else can shed light on this problem, I'd really appreciate it.

    Hi Micheal,
    I've been experiencing the exact same issue with my new iMac I just bought.  I bought it refurb so I wasn't sure if it was a defect with the hardware or not.  Since I'm not the only one I will asume it's not for now.
    Setup:
    - iMac 27-inch 3.4GHz (Release May 2011)
    - Dell 2709W external monitor
    - Hooked in with mini display port to DVI adapter
    - Lion 10.7.3 all up to date to this day
    From what I've been able to gather the issue presents itself only when my Dell 2709W enters "Power Save Mode" after I do CTRL + SHIFT + EJECT or when the diplays simply goes to sleep by themselves.
    Although if I hit that combination and the displays goes to sleep but I don't wait long enough for my Dell monitor to actually "Power Save Mode" (wait like 2 sec) then touch the keyboard then the 2 displays (iMac and Dell) resumes from sleep without the issue presenting itself.
    I'm tempted to buy the mini-display port to HDMI just to see if the issue is still present with that adapter.  If I do I'll update my post with the outcome.
    If anyone else has any info to help with this issue it would be greatly appreciated.  It's very annoying when you resume from sleep and you find all of your windows that where opened on the external display before sleep squeezed into your main display (iMac).
    Thanks!

  • No auto-detection of new projects in Workspace? Only Import possible?

    I got the project sources for a new project from a friend. I extracted all the stuff in a subfolder of the Workspace of FlexBuilder
    and expected that FlexBuilder will automatically recognize this new project and add it to the Flex navigator.
    But this was not the case.
    Is there really no auto-detection of new projects in Workspace?
    Even no "refresh" or "Scan Workspace"?
    The only way I found is an explicit "import".
    Correct?

    As far as I know, I don't think so, it's because the way Eclipse works, you know these so-called workspaces, for these Eclipse generates a lot of files for instance to keep track of changes in your files, so in a case you make a mistake and messed up with your code you could compare what you did wrong with local history, or for example to remember what files you left open in your last session and so on.

  • Auto-detect/redirect script for JDK 1.6?

    I work for a nonprofit organization and am in need of an auto-detect/redirect script. In order to hear the audio on specific pages, the computer needs to have JDK 1.6 installed on their computer. Is there a script I can insert in these pages so that if their computer does not have JDK1.6 installed, it will automatically give them a message that JDK 1.6 needs to be installed as well as a link to download it, if they want to hear the audio? If they do have JDK 1.6, there is an automatic redirect to go directly to the page they clicked to see and hear.
    Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

    When using -target it is best to also set the bootclasspath to include the JAR files of the release you are targetting. The compiler has found the new method taking an int in the newer JAR file and so compiled for that. If it was looking at the old class it wouldn't have found the (int) version so it would have generated the (double) version.

  • Why do duplicate albums appear on my iPod Classic screen when there are no duplicates in my iTunes Library?

    Why do duplicate albums appear on my i{Pod Classic screen when there are no duplicates in my iTunes Library?

    It's probably going to be a capitalisation error. In other words, one or more tracks on the album has a lower case letter at the beginning of the album name while all the others have a capital letter. They can be difficult to spot.
    In iTunes, examine one of your duplicated albums carefully. You should be looking for a slight difference between the album title name. Look at the screenshot below, can you see the error in the album title?
    It is there...
    The title track (Left Of The Middle). Look at the capitalisation of the album name.
    Once you find you error in your album, re-type it (or copy-and-paste from one track to all the tracks) and then SYnc your iPod to iTunes. Does that cure it? If nto, let us know.

  • How to detect duplicate for custom object 1

    Hi expert,
    are there any fields in custom object can detect duplicates If These Fields Match?
    we thought it should be "Name" but it's not.
    Thanks, sab.

    Sab, field validation is not going to check for uniqueness of the custom object name. However, you could use field validation to add a value to the custom object name which could make it unique (such as name + rowID or name + created timestamp).

  • Preventing Copy & Paste from Within A Browser

    I created a pdf from a WORD document.  I then opened the PDF and went to ADVANCED>>SECURITY.  I applied sucurity principles that would not allow copy and paste as well as printing and I locked it with a password (the document can be opened without a password).
    If I try to copy and paste text with the PDF opened in Windows on my desktop, I cannot copy and paste text.  However when viewing the same document within a browser (Firefox), I am easily able to  copy and paste text and print.  Is there a way to prevent copy and printing from within a browser?
    Thanks!

    PDF viewers that are compliant to the standard will not allow this. The problem is some PDF viewers are less than compliant, such as some that are built-in to browsers. It looks like Firefox's does not respect security settings.
