Itunes shows multiple listings for the same files (songs), help ???

dunno why, but Itunes is showing mulitple listing for my file (songs), is there a way to clean this up instead of going through the list one by one to get rid of the extra listing...?? thank you in advance...

It looks like you have duplicate entries in the library (two entries pointing to the same song file), but you could also have duplicate files.
Add the 'Date Added' column to the library (View Options, Command-J) and sort on 'Date Added'.
If many songs show the same recent 'Date Added' and you didn't actually add them that day, those ones obviously are the duplicates.
Compare a few of those entries with their duplicate ones.
Do they point to the same file? If so, delete the last added ones, but choose 'Keep Files'.
If they point to different files, delete the last added ones and choose 'Move to Trash'
If the above does not help, you might find a useful script at www.dougscripts.com/itunes
Search for "duplicate" to find the appropriate scripts.
You will still have to remove the entries manually though.
Hope this helps.

Multiple listings for the same movies??

I just purchased Apple TV and have two movies purchased through I Tunes. When I synced with Apple TV it now lists one movie 5 times and the other movies only once. If I stream I can see the two movies listed only once. I have attempted to un-sync the movies and then re-sync and it continues to do the same thing.
Anyone have a solution or having the same issue?
I MAC Apple TV

OK, I'm not guaranteeing you this will fix your problem, but allow me to explain why I am suggesting it.
itunes is a database, when you add a movie to itunes it writes the movie to a folder defined by it's preferences, by default this is ~/user/music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Movies and writes info about that movie in two files (iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml)
Think of the iTunes window as a list of aliases which has been compiled using the much smaller info files, only when you click to play a movie does it actually access the movie file itself. This is why itunes can open and display your library almost instantaneously instead of taking hours to actually read the movie files themselves. Other applications like iDVD, iMovie and the tv also use these info files for displaying your itunes content.
Sometimes these files can become corrupt and strange display behaviour is a symptom of this corruption, one way of fixing them is to rebuild these files, but we don't want to do that if it can be avoided. Sometimes you can re-write the bit of these files that has become corrupt, the method I described to you (repopulating) does that.
Unfortunately your issue is with synced content and hence is likely a corrupt database file on the tv. You have already deleted the movie file on the tv and added it back (repopulated it) and this doesn't appear to have fixed your problem. Most of us are only guessing at what goes on inside the tv as there is no easy way of looking at it in same way as you do your macs system. I'm guessing that there are three possible actions that could resolve your problem.
Repopulating your itunes library.
Restarting your tv.
Restoring your tv.
Repopulating will take about 20 seconds and will do no harm if it is unsuccessful. (I'm suspecting the tv might write it's own database file from the itunes database files rather than just from the movie itself)
Restarting your tv will also do no harm but will take a few minutes and you may have to try with and without the movie synced.
Restoring is a last resort and will require you set up your tv again and resync all your content.
If you restart or restore and itunes did need to be repopulated you will still have to repopulate in the end anyway. Hopefully you can see why I suggested what I did and chose to leave the other options until establishing whether repopulating worked or not.

LR2 and PS Eelements8 show different RGB for the same color - Please, HELP

LR2, Elements 8, Color Chart 24 (CC24),
Please help. I may need to reset LR2 to factory default or to something else.
For the following RAW adjustments the tone curve set to Linear, Contrast and Brightness to 0
I have photographed a CC24 in RAW. Opened image in Elements 8 and adjusted Exposure to 243 for the White patch #19
Then with with WB tool clicked on the 50% Gray and then readjusted exposure for the CC24 listed 243 for #19.
Now all Gray patches #19 through #24 as listed in the table or very close R=G=B (243, 200, 160, 122, 85, 52)
The RGB numbers for Red Patch #15 are R=169, G=58, B=63
The CC24 listed RGB for Red patch #15 are R=175, G=54, B=60
Also saved the adjusted image as JPG
Then opened the image in LR2 and adjusted exposure and WB as described above for Elements 8.
The Gray patches #19 through #24 show RGB numbers as listed in the table or very close.
The RGB numbers for the Red patch #15 are R=138, G=84, B=64.
However the CC24 RGB for Red patch #15 are R=175, G=54, B=60
Exported the image as JPG
Then opened the two saved JPG images in Elements. these two images read almost identical RGB numbers for each patch.
How can I fix LR2 RGB reading. Recently I have saved as defaults the tone curve set to Linear, Contrast and Brightness to 0 and probably did it wrong. My be I need to reset LR2 to the factory defaults to restore its correct reading or something else.
Please help.
Leonid

Q1. Is that means that when LR2 Exported RAW to JPG the correct numbers resulted from conversion?
You should be careful with the term RGB numbers. Such numbers are only useful when you know the working space. For example, sRGB, adobeRGB, prophotoRGB, melissaRGB, etc. The numbers I calculated are simply the reference numbers (find them here: http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?ColorCheckerRGB.html ). I recalculated the values in the display space used in Lightroom from Bruce Lindbloom's values in normal prophotoRGB which is a simple arithmetic excercise. When Lightroom exports a jpeg, you can set the color space in the export panel and it will do the conversion for you meaning that it will translate between its internal colorspace and the desired export color space. In an external program, you will usually be working in sRGB, adobeRGB, or prophotoRGB, which are the three main spaces that Lightroom exports to. As you can see from Bruce's tables in the link above the RGB values for these patches in all these spaces are different.
For example RGB for MacBeth CC24 Red patch (#15) was shown as 203, 0, 0 and x-rite RGB is 174, 54, 60.
They are actually the exact same chart. As I say above the values are meaningless if you don't know the colorspace. The first RGB triplet you quote makes no sense at all. It does not correspond to any colorspace listed for the MacBeth chart. The zeros indicate that the color is far outside of the gamut of the used color space, so the value is basically useless. The second is sort of close to the sRGB value.
Q.2 Would it mean that your shown table should not be applied to (used with) x-rite CC24 but to MacBeth only?
They should be pretty good for both as the chart is supposed to be the same.
Q3. Have you created your posted LR table or it was provided by Adobe?
I created it myself. Since you have a colorchecker, you should look into creating a camera profile using it. This can be done with X-rite's excellent passport utility (free download from their website), or with Adobe's free DNG profile Editor. Simply shoot a chart in the right light conditions and run the raw/dng file through this utility and a profile is created that will allow you to get very good color rendering from your camera if you shoot raw.

A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers. I downloaded latest version. Any ideas??

ME TOO.
I think mine are all still in alphabetical order, but :
* movies I deleted from my library and told "hide this purchase in the cloud" are showing up again. If I try to play them, I get the "cannot find the file in its proper location, would you like to locate it" error message.
* for movies that have "iTunes Extras," the extras show up as a separate item, with another copy of the movie artwork. Most of these I believe I had DELETED the "iTunes Extras" anyway.
* Items are showing up multiple times.
* A few MUSIC ALBUMS are listed in my Movies section.
* Some movies (I believe ones that I deleted off my HD but are still in the cloud) are showing random album covers instead of their proper artwork.
* Just rented a movie, and it didn't show up anywhere in my library. It downloaded properly and completely, was in a suitably labeled folder in my iTunes/Media/Movies section, but didn't show up in any section of the library (or via a library search). Had to manually find it and tell it to open the file using iTunes.
Running the latest version, even checked for updates. No other changes made lately since the last round of apple software updates. This was wonky before the latest small update to iTunes - now it's even wonkier. And it is very, VERY effing annoying.

Under Options , Applications There are multiple entries for the same item (Acrobat Document). how can I delete the duplicates?

Under Options, Applications there are multiple entries for the same item. (Adobe Acrobat) . Three show Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3 and the other shows (ask) or (save file) with no ability to select Acrobat Reader . Is there a way to edit this list to remove the duplicates and
the incorrect entry? Adobe installed a very quick update today.

They are all different. Hover your mouse pointer over each of the "Content Type" descriptions and you should see a "tooltip" to see that each has a different description.

Multiple alerts for the same Message ID

Hi
I have configured outbound ftp adapter. I have configured alerts inorder to capture any error in the adapter engine.
Now,alert is triggered showing an error in the ftp adapter ( say incorrect ftp details). But i get multiple alerts for the same message ID several times. I have also set the parameter Max No od Delvs to 1 in the ALRTCATDEF transaction.
I keep getting the same alert number of times a day. How can i restrict the number of alerts to 1 for 1 message ID.
Regards,
Vani

Hello Andreas,
Thanks for your reply.
In my scenario i would need an alert per Message. That is the reason why I have not checked the option "Supress Multiple Alerts" since it would allow only alert per rule.
Is there is any way we can get one alert per message.
Also, after correcting the eror in the file adapter will the file which was not placed due to error in the adapter be placed automatically. I wanted to know what would happen to the lost file or unprocessed file since it dint reach the destination due to error.
Regards,
Vani

Multiple formats of the same file

I'm using LR 1.2 and notice that if I have a JPG and either raw or dng of the same file in a folder LR shows one entry in the grid and "filename.dng+jpg" for the filename. If I have all three (jpg, nef, dng) it will only show the dng+jpg and treats the nef like a duplicate in the catalog if I try to import it. So:
1) Which file is being used if you make LR edits and export?
2) If you delete this entry from the catalog and disk - do you loose both files?
3) Is there a setting to show the actual individual files rather than combine them like this?
It's confusing the heck out of me.

Make sure you have "treat jpeg files next to raw files as separate photos" preference checked if you like to see the jpeg as:
1) Lightroom uses the jpeg ONLY for the very first preview. After that, everything is done using the raw file. The jpeg is basically ignored completely as the RAW is considered the original. You really only need the nef or dng file.
2) Yes
3) Yes, you have to import using the preference noted above. In this case you'll get multiple entries for the same picture but with different original files.
Lastly, for Lightroom there is no real difference between the nef and the dng as the data in it is the same. If both are present it will probably use just the dng but I have never tried it. Having multiple files with the same filename but different extension is generally a recipe for disaster not just in Lightroom.

Multiple images of the same file on one page

How do I create multiple images of the same file on one page? For example, I've got an image that I could fit 6 of on one page, and would like to print it that way instead of printing it on 6 individual pieces of paper.

Are you attempting to do this in Adobe Workspaces? Or are you looking for software that will do it?
If the former, you could insert the image into a Buzzword document six times. Not exactly elegant, but it might do the trick.

Multiple HighlightPainters for the same JEditorPane

Hey Everyone,
I'm having a problem having highligts of multiple colors for the same text component.
Basically I have a set of results in a separate panel for a search on the text in a JEditorPane. I want the text corresponding to all the search results to be highlighted one color as soon as the search is done, and when one specific search result is clicked on, have the highlight for that result's text change to a different color.
My current implementation is trying to do this by setting highlights for all the search results, and then when a result is clicked on, setting another highlight with another highlight painter of a different color. Unfortunately, this causes only the second higlight color to be displayed, even though when I look at the editorpane's highlights i can see all of them are being stored.
Is there something I'm misunderstanding about Highlights?
Thanks for any help,
Phil.

Can I create multiple links to the same file without duplicating file?

does anyone know if it is possible to create multiple links to the same file using iWeb without the program automatically making multiple copies of that file in the published output? It seems that one file is created for each link.
Thanks!

Hi Franz,
have a look at the second method on this page

see if you understand how it works (if you don't, please ask me)

Multiple Faces for the same person

I found this unanswered archived post, which is expressing exactly the same problem I'm having...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2099862
When tagging photos there are multiple entries for the same person listed. In particular for three people (my kids) who have a lot of photos for each person. On the Cork board there is only one entry per person, so this is not a multiple face entry there.
I was living with this for a while, but now I have my iPhone and can sync faces photos with it, I can see again there are multiple entries listed for these three people, yet there's nothing I can do in iPhoto to consolidate them.
Has anyone else come across this (like the person in the above thread - which didn't get answered) and found a solution to fix up iPhoto? Clearly it's something odd going on in the Faces database thinking there are different entries tagged, but is still showing them together in the Cork Board.

I would like to know how you got the multiple entries to appear. I'm having the same problem with my daughter. The only issue is, she is two and does not have any address book entries. I think I may have typed her name out several times when adding her name to a face instead of associating the photo with the existing entry. iPhoto recognizes they are the same places in some places, but not in others. I started a new post...

Events cannot have multiple exceptions for the same date

I just starting getting this message and could not sync to one of my Google calendars. I'm posting this for others who might get the same problem.
I didn't find the answer on these forums but did find it on this thread on Google:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=241155f758d9e2a4&hl=en
Here's the important excerpt:
"I had a client, who just had this same issue, nothing to do with Google cals.
It was apparently, in my best guess, a corruption of the subscribed cal.
*I did a get info on the cal, copied the URL, deleted the cal, then re-subscribed to it by pasting in the URL, and now it's working fine*."

I've been having the same problem with my iCal calendars and the "Events cannot have multiple exceptions for the same date" error. Once it gets going, it uses up a lot of the CPU and resources. After reinstalling iCal, all my calendars were missing and I could not even resubscribe to them.
I took my MacBook Pro to the Apple Store, and they were able to solve the problem by moving some of the iCal files from their existing folders out to the desktop, and reopening the program. That got it working, however, now I'm having the same problem again. So back to square one. Anyone else having this issue and know the cause?
My setup is my MacBook Pro uses Entourage, use that calendar in my iCal. And I subscribe to two calendars my wife publishes on her Macbook. We're both using Snow Leopard.

WebTools Creating multiple users for the same User

I had to make a few changes to a BP in SAP which will synch back into WebTools but now I am getting multiple users for the same contact. For example my user is cspehar_1 now in Webtools there are cspehar_1, cspehar_2, cspehar_3 and so on up to _8.
This is occuring for several users in webtools.
What causes this and how do I fix it?
Thanks,
Craig Spehar

Hi Craig,
There are two ways to cause this that I am aware of:
1. Change the "Business Partner Synch Contacts Field" setting after the initial synch.
2. Change the Web UserID on the BP contact in B1 (OCPR.U_PRX_SID).
After that, update the user in WT and synch. (might also happen if you update the BP in B1)
Since the synch is using the OCPR.U_PRX_SID to identify the contact, it will not be able to find it in B1 if the U_PRX_SID has changed. When it does not find it, it assumes it needs to be created. This results in a duplicate.
The solution is to reset the U_PRX_SID back to what it was or set the synch contact field back to what it was.
Then delete the last created duplicate contact from B1.
There may be further data corruption issues here. If orders/quotes/opportunities or other dependant data has synchronized referencing the duplicate user, these data will need to be correct as well.
FYI, whatever caused this was probably at the root of your order problem as well.

Multiple DEVL_PROJECT_ID for the same model in CZ_DEVL_PROJECTS Table.

Hi,
Did anyone came across this issue!! I am triggering the config engine from back and and trying to pick up a model but it has multiple devl_project_id's. :(
I could see multiple DEVL_PROJECT_ID for the same model in CZ_DEVL_PROJECTS Table. Apart from DEVL_PROJECT_ID and created_by_date every thing looks the same.
Below are the 2 records the data from the table

It can be possible to have multiple devl_project_id for the same model in cz_devl_projects Table.
Case -1 : When you delete the existing model and re-import again.
case 2:
When you publish the model locally, it will create the same copy of the record with different devl_project_id, creation_date, last update_date etc..\
You can see that for published records the last_updat_login, checkout_user will be null and for the original model, last_update_login,checkout_user (if model is locked) will not be null.

How to avoid multiple session for the same username

I need suggestions on implementing single user login , like My system has a user with a username jdavid and my application should not allow two different sessions for the same username jdavid , can one session peep into all other session
to see if the any has a usernaem jdavid, I am basically looking for some pattern if any available for restricting multiple session for the same username . like jaas or any other security api provides this ?

Store a Map<User, HttpSession> in application scope and let your application intercept on that. On login, just check if the User is already there, then get the associated HttpSession, invalidate it and replace it by the current HttpSession, else just store the current User-HttpSession pair in the map. On logout obviously remove the User-HttpSession pair from the map.

Itunes shows multiple listings for the same files (songs), help ???
