Lost by new interface - how can i tell which library I am using?

I have iTunes 12 and am completely lost.
I am on windows 7
Yesterday - I tried to drag an audiobook to my phone and was told that I can only sync to one library at a time. I was total confused by this because I had never changed the library. I went ahead and did it - since I don't generally use itunes content.
Anyway - in the old iTunes I could ***** my library - this one seems to only have one library. I am totally lost - but I figure now is good time too consolidate all of my library data - delete all the old data from migrating machines and just improve iTunes Hygiene.
BUT - I haven't go a clue of where to start.

Did iTunes rescan your media folder after the upgrade as if it had just been installed? See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash. Though if you've started on a fresh library and updated your device there is probably no benefit in switching back.

How can I tell which clips are currently used in a sequence

In the Project window there is a list of clips I have loaded, but often I lose track of which clips are currently used in the sequence. In Premiere Elements there was a green check next to clips you have used in the timeline, but I don't see any indication of which clips are currently used in the sequence/timeline I am editing.
Is there some way to sort the loaded clips so that the ones in use all appear first followed by those clips not currently being used in the timeline/sequence. Is there some indication I am missing showing me whether or not a clip I have loaded is currently being used or not?
-Roger Uzun

This isn't really a sorting mechanism, but you can see how many times a clip is used, where it's used, and then navigate to it using the following non-descript button:
You need to have a clip selected in the Project Panel to see this information, of course. Once you click the disclosure triangle, you'll see the list of sequences and the times where the clip is used; if you select one of those references, the sequence will come to the front in the Timeline panel, and the CTI will park at its in point.
Again, not a sorting means, but it might be helpful in some instances.

How can I tell which catalog a missing image belongs to?

How can I tell which catalog a missing image belongs to?
Beating a dead horse.....Everytime I need "missing images" in LR4.2, I cannot access them, even though I am looking right at the location they presntly occupy because thye image is ALREADY IN ANOTHER CATALOG.
HOW frustrating is this...going on 8 months now. But I need the images and I suppose I could just go back and reprocess 10,000 images that are missing in my collections but I have tried many solutions offered over the months that are just impractical.
So Now I want to approach this thing from the other direction...
If let's say one image is already associated with another catalog that houses that collection, ( and the collection is important because it has the edits), i want to go to that catalog instead.
How do I do this?
Any Ideas?

It sounds as if you have been using separate catalogs for sets of images which are in separate folders. Perhaps you have had good reason to do that. But I would now make three linked observations:
It seems that you are now more able to both find, and distinguish, things via a folder structure - rather than via whatever classification of different catalogs you may have thought were going to be helpful to you
accordingly, having these mutiple catalogs is now getting in your way
using folders works just the same inside one big catalog, as it does inside each of two smaller catalogs.
The solution to the first two, IMO, is to merge your separate catalogs into one catalog. Then the third will kick in. You can still keep the current separate catalogs for archive or reference purposes, but the "Import from Another Catalog" function will MERGE copies of all their contents into a combined, larger catalog that you can use going forward. (The images and folders themselves, do not change in any way when you do this.)
If you wish to track which catalog each image is currently inside, you could apply some kind of keyword across all images in that catalog, before carrying out the merge. However, it sounds to me as if your folder arrangement currently mirrors the different catalogs in some way anyway - and will continue to convey the same information once combined.
Lightroom is designed to be able to work with large numbers of images more or less the same as with small numbers; and this has been anecdotally confirmed in many cases. AFAICT the main performance issue is not the size of the database, but the size and nature of the image data involved and the complexity of things you do with that, per image, also the ability of your computer system to carry these operations out, per image. (Another overall productivity issue is: do you need to keep navigating to and opening different catalogs; or... not!)
Even if you merge catalogs and then change your mind about all or some of that, you can either: retain and go back to the previous un-merged catalogs - or: to preserve further work done since merging, you can use Export as Catalog to copy out a certain highlighted set of images. Then you can Remove what you wish from the main catalog - using the exact same means of identifying which images require this - for example, the image set you have only just exported to a new catalog will still be highlighted inside the source catalog.

How can I tell which apps were purchased on my account?

I did search for answers but couldn't find one that fit.
I have an iPhone and so does our son.
Early on my son purchased apps on my account and downloaded them on HIS iphone. Eventually, I got him his own iPhone account and so he has also purchsed apps on his own account and downloaded them on his phone.
When we open iTunes and connect his phone, there is a list of apps that are on his phone.
QUESTION
How can we tell which apps were purchased on HIS iTunes acct and which were purchased on MY iTunes acct?
I don't want to DO anything with the apps, I just want to know one from another.
Thanks in advance!!

HT4914 How can you tell which songs are downloaded from the cloud on an ipad

How can you tell which songs are downloaded on the iPad from the cloud?

I know ipad albums are more like tagging photos rather than putting them in folders. I just have a nagging feeling I missed some pics and I have too many to try to go figure out one by one. I don't look at my photos from the camera roll, only from albums I tagged just because I imported photos from different sources and the dates and order is really messed up. I just want to know that I am viewing all the photos from like this vacation or that event and there's none I missed that are only in the camera roll.

Check their mailbox for a file called "__VALIDITY__" If they have this

You may want to refer to the Java Security forum at http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=545 for information on Kerberos & JAAS.
There is a also a post in this forum, outlining how to utilise Kerberos, JAAS with JNDI to access Active Directory. JNDI, Active Directory and Authentication (Part 1) (Kerberos)

How can I tell if my computer is using ethernet or wireless for downloads?

Hi,
My computer is hooked up via ethernet to my router (base station) which is connected to my DSL modem, and I also have my Airport on because I have extended my network with an airport express so I can stream music to my stereo across the room using iTunes.
I've noticed in the Airport menu that my computer is connected also to my wireless network which I use for getting online with my iPad.
Can I assume that my computer will use ethernet and NOT wireless for accessing the internet, downloading files, etc?
How can I tell which network connection is being used? Are there tools for monitoring the network that would allow me to easily determine if a particular download is going over the ethernet or the wireless connection?
Clearly, I want to use the hard line ethernet connection for everything and use the wifi only for my streaming music function for speed purposes...
Thanks!!!!
Elisabeth

Hi,
Internet is served on the priority basic from the System Prefrences Network pane.
If ethernet is on top you getting it from ethernet if Airport and so on...
So depending on internet speeds set the priority to access fast internet speeds.

How can I tell which machines need a given patch?

So when I run WSUS and view the Updates Report I can type in the specific patch I'm working on (MS14-066) and it tells XX computers have it, YY computers need it, etc.
How can I tell which are the YY computers that need the patch so I can go fix them up? Is there an easy way to do that?
Thanks.

How can I tell which are the YY computers that need the patch so I can go fix them up?
Run the Detailed View version of the report. There will be one (or more) pages for each update. The detailed pages list each computer, the approval status, and installation state.
However, the conventional way to address this question is to create target groups based on some classification of how you would approve updates (e.g. Desktops, Win2008R2, .NET4) and approve the updates for the *groups* of computers that should install the
updates.

How can I tell which pictures have both raw and jpeg?

if I import with jpeg as master, how can I tell which photos also have a raw version?

To ways, one create a filter with file type set to RAW+JPEG, two look at the badges on an image, a badge with an 'R' in it indicates the image is part of a RAW+JPEG pair and the RAW image is the master, if its a 'J' the JPEG is the master.

How can you tell which computer that is authorized as the master?

I have several computers that I have connected my iPhone to. How can I tell which computer I should connect to before updating the operating system? I don't want to loss data if I don't have to.

I am not that familiar with Apple and iTunes and was getting help from someone who said that I can plug my iPhone into my computers but that I would have to authorize the iPhone on each but the limit is 5.
This is not accurate.
You can authorize up to 5 computers with the same iTunes account. There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer.
An iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on one computer only, and photos can be transferred from one computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
This is why I asked - you have connected your iPhone to each one of these computers for what?
I was not sure which computer I first used. Is there a simple way to check?
No, or I would have provided that with my first reply.
If you connect your iPhone to a "non-master" computer to install the update, you will be provided a warning.
How many computers are you talking about? If 5 or less, this should take you no more than 10 minutes to determine which computer you transferred music and photos from.

Remove all of them. Then hook one at a time to the computer. Give each a different name.

What do you mean 'which number' ? You can see what account purchased an item, you can't see what device or computer.

How can I tell which songs have been iTunes matched?

When first using iTunes Match, how can I tell which songs were 'matched' and which were simply uploaded?

Simply turn on the iCloud Status and iCloud Download fields on your library view - you can then see whether the Song is 'purchase', 'matched' or 'uploaded'.

I have lots of duplicate songs in ITunes. How can I tell which ones were purchased vs ripped?

I am trying to delete duplicate songs in iTunes library. How can I tell which ones were iTunes purchases and which ones I ripped from CD's.

If you turn on the Kind column your purchases will read Purchased AAC audio file or Protected AAC audio file.
BTW I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.
