Lost duplicated files

I had to delete all my music on my iphone and redownload due to my phone being synced to a computer that no longer works. I got my itunes to show all the duplicated songs and of course I deleted one of each. But. now the songs won't work because they say the original file can't be located. I pressed "keep" on the files rather than send them to the recycle bin, so where the **** are they? I've never had software that has made me this angry before. I've been awake for almost 2 days trying to redownload the music to my phone and I've encountered problem after problem. Can someone please help me? The songs are still in my music folder but I can't even remember what they all were.

Without getting a clearer picture of what is in the library and what is in your media folder it is hard to tell which approach would be best, but I have a script called FindTracks that locates lost media within the media folder and reconnects iTunes to it, or another called DeDuper which you could use after reimporting the entire media folder to the library. It can check for duplicate entries where one track is linked to a working file and the other is not, then clean up accordingly.

What does 'include render files' option mean for when I duplicate a project. I deselected it and the duplicated file is very slow so maybe this has affected it. It's a shame cause original project is deleted. Have I lost the rendered files? Thanks

Yes, if you duplicate without the render files and delete the original project you lose the render files. But render files get recreated - automatically if you have it set in the preferences (which is the default option). It just takes time.

Finding Duplicated Files

What is the easiest way to find duplicated files throughout the hard drive? I have just managed to eliminate 6 GB of files that had arisen because previously I had files and clones on 3 separate Hard Drives and had lost track at times. I am now consolidating to one HD and cleaning out the excess fat by laboriously going through several folders by hand. It takes a lot of time.
Is there a way of getting Spotlight to identify unnecessary duplicates systemwide? Or is there another method?

I have seen reports of success using dupeGuru:

Lost iWeb file, how can I get it from web?

I have a iWeb webiste published, but I lost the file in iWeb. Is there a way to download the page from the internet and continue to edit it with iWeb?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
As you are learning somewhat painfully, iWeb stores all data created in the application in a single file, Domain. This file, by default, is placed on your hard drive in this location.
iWeb generates html as it publishes your site; it is not possible to import published pages back into the application. You will have to copy and paste as much as possible from your pages as viewed from a browser.
Make sure to back up this file from now on. Varkgirl has given us a great little automator app which can be downloaded free here. Use this app for duplicating your Domain file for backup purposes.

Please help me recover a lost PDF file from Adobe Reader XI

Hi,
I was filling out a VA form 5655 in Adobe, and twice today, I lost my file and I just cannot type all of this stuff again, because I had to do so much math and typing and more math. All of a sudden "bloop", it was gone. When I try to go into file, then revert, revert is not highlighted. I tried pulling up history and it said there was no history. I just don't know what else to do, and I need this for the morning. Please help? Thanks

Hi Pat,
I filled it out directly from the blank PDF online, and never got a chance
to save the whole document. I did however save it about 1/2 way through,
but yet cannot find that 1/2 of the document either. Thanks.

How to share iMovie library with other accounts without duplicating files?

I'm looking for information on how to share an imovie library with other accounts on the same computer without duplicating files. If I copy imovie files to the shared folder each user is required to import the files to their library which duplicates the files. It would be nice if imovie had the option of including events/projects shared in the share folder. Is there an option to change everyone's default library to a shared folder? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

The easiest way to do this would be to atach an external drive. The external drive should be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). If you have a drive that is formatted some other way, you can reformat it using Disk Utility. It can be Thunderbolt, Firewire, or USB, but Firewire or Thunderbolt will give best performance for video.
Now you need to move the projects and events over to the external drive. This must be done from within iMovie.
In iMovie, click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK.
Now, in the Project Library View, hold down the command key while dragging the small icon for each project to the small icon for the external drive. Now select one of these projects and click FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA. This will enable you to move associated Events, Photos, and Music to the external drive. Repeat for all projects.
If any events are left over at the end of this, because they are not used in any of your projects, you can move them to the external drive by working in the Event Library list. Hold down the Command Key while dragging the small icon for the Event in the Event Library List to the small icon for the External Drive. Repeat until all the Events are moved.
Now you can edit these movies on any user account.
For future clips that you import from a camera, be sure to select the external drive as the location.

Well, iCloud has nothing to do with this.
Do you have the built-in backup function Time Machine running on your Mac?

I replaced my hard drive and I backed up my files on an external hard drive but when I reloaded my iweb to my imac none of my files were on it so I can't make changes to my Published web site have I lost my files what can I do

By default iWeb keeps its data in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb in a file named Domain. Without this file you cannot proceed (other than by recreating the site from scratch using the published version as a reference) so you need to locate it on the original disk.
To confuse matters, Apple have hidden the user’s Library folder in Lion and Mountain Lion to casual viewers, in an attempt to stop new Mac users messing their machines up. To access it, in the Finder go to the ‘Go’ menu and hold down the Option (Alt) key; the Library folder will appear as a choice.

Lost the 'file, edit' etc'task bar on the left side of my mail menu. my upper left screen reads 'welcome to lightroom moblie. I never had nor can use these. how do i back to basic LR and upper left task bar?

I have lost my 'file,edit, ...' task bar from the upper left side of my LR screen. My upper left corner now reads something about welcome to Lightroom mobile. ( I have never had or used the mobile version and I can't use it anyway. ) When I push my mouse pointer up again the top of the screen the 'file, edit,...' does not reappear and stay as it has been doing for the last 3 years. How can I get it back? And, maybe what did I do so I can avoid this from happening again? Thank you. (I am not PC knowledgeable, please bear with me.)

Does the menu bar appear when you move your mouse pointer to the top of your display. If so then you could change the behavior of Lightroom via the menu Window->Screen Mode
Hope that helps

Unfortunely, all movies and songs purchased in iTunes will be lost...you'll have to purchase them again! Any applications you've purchased, you can download again for free.
Music Rescue is a program you can use to transfer any and all data (music, movies, pictures..) from your iPod to your computer, and iTunes.

I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

On your iMac launch iTunes and at the top next to the Apple symbol click iTunes > Preferences > Devices and tell me what you see. You last sync should be there showing only a device name. If you have an older backup it will be there as well the difference is it will be the device name with a date and time stamp. Sync and backups are two different things and there is a chance iTunes made a backup the first time you hooked up your iPhone 5.

Duplicated files on iCloud

Note having duplicated files when sync（・・？
sometimes even Safari bookmark will be messed up if sync to iPhone

What is requiring the files to be duplicated? Are you asking how to share a folder of files via "cloud" so they can be accessed on another computer? More details will help.
I use DropBox to share files. Other services are OneDrive, Box.com, Google Drive (note Google Drive is reported to have issues with Mavericks).

Duplicated Files On Harddrive

I have duplicated files on my Harddrive.
I want to delte them, it is to messy to find them all individually.
So i want to delte them through itunes using the "send to reycele bin thing" so s0ngs i have 4 copys off will just DISSAPPEAR of my HDD.
How can i do this?

To clarify the 'duplicate' issue a bit, one needs to understand the difference between duplicate song references within iTunes and duplicate song files on the PC.
You can sometimes wind up with two (or more) song references in iTunes that point to the same physical file on the PC. In this case, you need to keep only one of the references within iTunes. If you also happen to delete the underlying PC song file, then the remaining reference will show the dreaded '!' of a broken link. Recovering the miss-deleted song can be easy if you haven't emptied the Recycle Bin, or difficult if you have. Also note that when mass deleting files, if the amount is too big for the Bin, the PC will bypass it and permanently delete the files.
Other times, you have two identical (or close) references within iTunes that each point to a unique song file on the PC. In this case, you need to delete both the reference in iTunes and allow iTunes to send the underlying file to the Recycle Bin. If you only delete the reference, you end up with an 'orphan' song file on the PC taking up space. Some less than musically hygienic folks have ended up with GBs of unwanted songs mingled throughout their iTunes folders. There is a novel method to find and remove them....
The take-away from the above is: Make sure you know which type of duplicate issue you have. Check each and every grouping before you delete the reference &/or the file. You can look at the underlying file of each reference through iTunes by using the 'Get Info' and note the path and file it accesses.
Also note that some song references can appear to be duplicates but are really two different song files, as in the case of the same song in AAC format and Lossless format. Unless you have the 'Kind' column showing, or notice the 'size' or 'bit rate' of the files, you may mistake them for true duplicates.
It seems to never be a clear-cut answer when dealing with iTunes....
Hope this adds some clarity. Unfortunately, there is no 'easy' or 'automated' way to detect and delete duplicates.
