Multiple entries of the same movie on Apple TV

I've imported a number of movies that i'd previously ripped using Handbrake into iTunes. They all play fine, and look great. The problem is that some of them are showing up multiple times (4x) in the primary Apple TV movie directory. This is strange because it only happens with some movies and I only have one copy of each in iTunes and on my iMac. As a double check, I changed "sources" and looked at the streamed view of the same iTunes library the movie only shows up once.
I've used the same settings to rip and import the movies. The Incredibles, and Madagascar show up 4 times each, and Shrek and Finding Nemo show up once.
Any ideas?

I had a similar problem with duplicate entries in the movie section. Today when I unplugged the Apple TV to test it with a SD (standard definition) set I had in the house I noticed that the duplicate entries went away when I powered it back up on the SD set.
All I did before I unplugged it from the HD set was set it to 480i under TV resolutions and then I hooked it up to my SD set. When I hooked it back to my HD set the duplicate entries were still gone.

How do I create multiple copies of the same movie title?

I have the latest version of iTunes 11.1.3 64 bit. I have Star Trek Into Darkness already in my movie library (from the Blue-ray) and tried to add the 3D version to my library. I want both so I can watch via home sharing on my iPad or on my 3D television (via AppleTV) depending on my mood. It seems that adding the 3D version identified it as the same film as the 2D copy already there and merged them into one. I deleted it and added again, this time going to "get info" and changing the title of the original to "Star Trek Into Darkness 2D" before adding the 3D version again and the same thing happened. Is there any way for me to have both the 2D and the 3D versions coexist?
Thanks!

I would like to know the answer to this as well. I tried renaming the 3D version by adding 3D after it, but it still not a separate movie in iTunes.
It's putting them in the same folder.

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.

How do I stop multiple downloads of the same movie

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??

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 & no change. 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.

How to have multiple images on the same screen? like in the movies where you see several actions at

how to have multiple images on the same screen? like in the movies where you see several actions at the same time ....
i don't find a tutorial in adobe tv....
thanks !!

The short answer is that you'll put the source clip(s) for each inset on a different video track, all stacked up. Then use the Scale and Position effects (under "Motion" on the Effect Controls panel) to reduce their size and place them where you want.
If the content of an inset will involve edited content (where you're cutting among various clips or just trimming out unwanted content from a single clip), then you'll probably find it easier to do all those edits in one sequence, then nest that sequence in the master sequence, where you apply the Scale and Positioning effects. That will save the step of applying the scale and position effects to each edited track item.

Multiple video icons of the same movie in my "Video" app

my iPad shows 10 icons of the same movie I've purchased from iTunes. To be clear, they don't reside on my iPad (you can see the little white cloud icon in the lower right corner)but are in the cloud. I can't delete any of them (using the traditional method of holding down until they wiggle with the little 'X'). Since they're in the cloud they don't take up any space but its just a real pain. None of my other 3 iPads have this problem and two of them are iOS 7 and the 3rd is iOS 5 (1st generation iPad- so can't update the iOS)
help...

Try closing the videos app and reset the iPad. See if that fixes the duplicates issue for you.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Sharing one iTunes library across multiple accounts on the same Mac

Hello, I've poked around at some of the posts dealing with sharing one iTunes music library across multiple accounts on the same Mac but it seems like this can only be done if the libary is moved to a shared folder. I realize this can be done but I was trying to share it the way it is described in a post on Apple support (See link below.). That post seemed to imply that you don't have to move the library from its original location (owned by account A, e.g.), rather just make a couple preference changes in the accounts, use fast user switching and voila. That doesn't seem to work. So my question is this: Is the only way to share one iTunes music library across multiple accounts on the same Mac to move it to a shared folder? I'm running 10.4.8 on an Intel iMac. Thanks in advance!
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195

After reading this and several other related threads, I am becoming thoroughly confused about all of this. I have a situation similar to the one that pokerpal described in the post dated January 7 at 8:06 pm, except that the music files on my system are located on an external hard drive. Everything else is pretty much the same though - I am the admin user (and the main iTunes user and maintainer) and my girlfriend is a standard user who has no music in her own iTunes library. She can see and listen to and make playlists from and sync her iPod with the music in this library from her account, and I can do the same thing, independent of her, from my account. And if I make a change to information within a song, she doesn't see it, and vice versa, and I understand that. What I don't understand is why when I add a song or an album to the music files by importing a CD or downloading something from the iTunes Music Store, she has no way of knowing that unless I tell her, and then she can add it to her library by using the "Add to Library" function. Is there no way of automatically updating her library files to add the new song(s)? We have almost 15,000 songs and videos in that library, and I don't even want to think about what might have to happen if the answer to my question is "no." Interestingly enough, if I put an update to a Word document in the same exact location (on the hard drive), we can update that and pass it back and forth all day - why is that such a difficult task for iTunes to accomplish?
Sorry I went on so long, but this has been building up for some time, and none of the solutions I've read about here have really been of any help, so I'm a bit frustrated and, as I said at the beginning, confused.

Can you opening multiple albums at the same time in Photo (not iPhoto)?

When converting the iPhoto library to Photo most of the albums that were in place in iPhoto converted to albums in Photo . . . .but not all. Some were retained as events mainly those that were folders within an album. In order to move them to the right album I would like to have multiple albums open at the same time (side by side) so that I can make sure not to duplicate photos or move them to the wrong spot.
I cant see how to do this, it seems that I can need to open one album and check phots and then close to look within and other and rely on memory. There must be a more efficient and accurate way to do this?

All of the events in iPhoto were converted to albums and are located in the Folder titled iPhoto Event in the sidebar of Photos.
You can't open multiple albums at the same time. You can create a smart album that will do essentially the same thing with the following criteria:
Album is "A"
Album is "B".
The smart album will display all of the photos in those two albums.

Multiple devices with the same GUID

Hi,
According to the Zenworks Command line utilities reference https://www.novell.com/documentation...a/bb15p2z.html
There exists an option to register a device with a new GUID by doing the following...
register (reg) [-g] [-k <key>] [-u <username> -p <password] <ZENworks Server addressort>
Registers the device in a Management Zone.
You can use the following options:
g - Lets you create a new device object with a new GUID and password for the device if you have multiple devices with the same GUID. When you register a device by using this switch, all the associations (policies and bundles) assigned to the original device object are removed. You cannot use this option to create a new GUID for a Primary Server or a Satellite device. The local user must have Local Administrator rights to use this option.
I would like to know if it is possible to have such a command line option for the agent installation. So built into the agent installer, a command line option to force the agent to register with a new GUID.
We are having CONTINUOUS problems with the above scenario. When we move devices from one computer lab to another and re-image the device, Zenworks keps trying to assign the same GUID to the device and this mixes up our Dynamic Workstation groups, which then affect the applicable policies to each device.
I would like to know if there is an option to tell the installer to stop remembering the GUID and simply register the device with a new guid on agent installation.
This way we can build that into the post imaging scripts which install the zenworks agent.

Hi Craig,
OK, I've had a look at the ZCM Reconcile rules and run a few tests to see if it is possible to get the machines not to reconcile (use a new GUID after imaging).
As I have explained before, sometimes this result is desired in our case especially when we move machines around from lab to lab.
So far, no matter what configuration I use, I cannot get Zenworks to generate a new GUID for a device that is getting re-imaged (without doing so only after the fact by unregistering the machine and reregistering the machine via the zac und and zac reg -g).
We use dynamic workstation groups to assign policies and bundles to machines so reconciling the devices is not necessary most of the time. We need an option to tell the machine to register with a new GUID on installation of the agent. Surely such an option can be built into the agent installer?
The options in the ZCM config management "reconcile settings" I tested with are:
Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
Machine Name - Unticked/Unselected
Enable Differentiation - Unticked/Unselected
I then also tested:
Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
Machine Name - Ticked/Selected
Enable Differentation - Ticked/Selected
and also:
Serial Number - Unticked/Unselected
Mac Address - Unticked/Unselected
Machine Name - Ticked/Selected
Enable Differentation - Unticked/Unselected
With all three different configurations, I re-imaged the same machine, which renames the machine via the first post imaging installation script to match the DNS name. Thereafter the Zenworks agent gets installed, which then renames the machine back to what it was registered into the Zenworks database with on first installation.
We need a method of telling Zenworks NOT to reconcile when we want it to. It should not reconcile every time and thereby rename the machine netBIOS name.
Is there any way to achieve this?

The same thing could apply if bringing in new Hardware.
If a new computer were to replace an old computer but the name stayed the same, everything could be automatic depending on the rules setup.
It is all a matter of how you tell ZCM to reconcile devices.
The Help in the ZCC under these items should explain how it works so you can setup your rules to meet your use cases.

Use multiple themes in the same project?

I'm making a slideshow in iMovie 09. It consists of approx. 200 pictures. Those 200 pics are then broken down into 5 distinct groups. I've applied the Scrapbook theme to the first 40 pictures. I tried to apply a different theme (Filmstrip) to the next 30 pictures. When I did that, however, it changed the theme for the original 40 pictures to Filmstrip as well.
Am I able to use multiple themes within the same project? I don't think its possible.
Is my solution to make the 5 sections of the slideshow in iMovie 09 using a different theme for each section? I'd export as a movie file and then create the final slideshow that would consist of the 5 movies previously made (each with a different theme).
Thanks in advance. This project is due in 3 weeks.
Martin

This is not possible in iMovie (to use multiple themes).
However, you can do this using your idea of joining multiple movies into one. You can do this with QuickTime Pro, or with MPEG Streamclip. [Here is a video Tutorial by venerable forum member Jon Walker|http://web.me.com/jrwalker4/QuickNotes/MPEGStreamclip/Entries/2008/5/25_Tutorial015.html] which shows the MPEG Streamclip option.

How do I merge multiple subscriptions to the same podcast?

In iTunes I have multiple subscriptions to the same identical podcast (same podcast name and same url) ... some of the subscriptions have duplicated entries and some have unique entries ... (how this happened I have no idea, but that is beside the point) ... my question is how do I merge these multiple subscriptions into a single podcast subscription? I have tried cut & paste in the hope that I could then delete (unsubscribe) to all of the redundant/repeated subscriptions, but that does not work ... in explorer I have found that ALL my podcast files from ALL my podcast subscriptions are found in a single folder .. so all the entries from my multiple subscriptions are there as well ... this smoked my hope that each podcast subscription would have it's own folder or sub-folder ... so I'm stuck ... does anyone know how I can merge multiple subscriptions to the same podcast into a single podcast subscription (without my losing the uniques scattered throuhout the mutiple subscriptions) ... ???

I would love to be able to do exactly what you are suggesting .. the problem is, if I delete the duplicate subscriptions, I lose the unique files unique to the duplicate subscription I delete ... the problem is that I can't find a way to save/move the uniques (in advance of deleting the duplicate subscription) into a single subscription ... is there a way to do this ??? Does anyone know how to do this ??? Please help !!!

Multiple instances of the same APEX application under SSO

Currently we have several applications that are authenticated through Oracle SSO. The apps are authenticating correctly, but I can't be in multiple instances of the same application without having to re-validate through SSO when I move between instances.
Scenario: I'm successfully signed into my "parent" application, app_id 1 through SSO. I click a custom link that opens the "child" application (app_id 2) to view widget "A". When the page is launched I see the usual "Redirecting to the Login Server for authentication" message (verifying that I'm signed in through SSO) and then it succeeds and takes me into app 2, displaying widget A. I click the next link to launch another instance of app 2 with a different APEX session id for viewing widget "B". This also passes through SSO and redirects me into app 2, displaying widget B as expected. But now if I go back to navigate anywhere on widget A in my first instance, it has to go back through the "Redirecting to Login Server." This now means the widget A window is valid, but the widget B window will have to redirect next time I use it (back & forth & so on...)
So my question I suppose is: Is it possible/good practice to allow a single user to open multiple separate instances of the same APEX application using different APEX session_ids viewing different data under Oracle Enterprise SSO?
Guesstimation: It seems like there must be a switch somewhere in SSO that says "allow multiple application instances yes/no"...but my problem may be APEX itself, or how SSO is tied into APEX... Sorry for the super-generic example, I'm not exactly sure where I should be looking to resolve this, and the closest similar problem I found on the forums was here: login to application twice in two seperate IE windows clears other login

reset your dock preferences. delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and log out/in. your dock, spaces and exposé will be reset to the defaults. see if the problem goes away.

Can iTunes handle multiple versions of the same app?

Now that iTunes, iOS, and iDevices have been around long enough for users to have multiple devices on multiple iOS versions, is Apple doing anything to allow users to run multiple versions of the same app through iTunes?
Case in point I have an older iPhone running iOS-5 with a few apps that are now running exclusively on iOS-7, my new iPhone is on iOS-7. Once I sync my new phone with the updated versions of the app, iTunes usually dumps the old version into the trash bin. But what if I need that older version to continue running it on my iOS-5 iPhone?
Is there a workaround for this? I've considered using an old PC as my base computer for sycning the new iPhone, but I still fear that the new app updates will go to all devices running on my iTunes account through iCloud.
If Apple doesn't address this problem at some point then as the years go by certain iDevices will eventually become completely useless even if they are a fully functional piece of electronics.
(spare me the "that's their plan, corporate greed" replies).
Thanks in advance!

Yes, the apps SHOULD be developed to work with the new stuff, No, not all apps keep their old versions in the App Store, BUT, finally Apple has ALLOWED developers to have multiple versions of an App in the store.
The problem isn't about retarding development, it's about Apple trying to force users to buy new things that they don't need because the old thing, though it works just fine & has the apps that you need, is unable to be used because the apps have been updated in iTunes. Why can't you allow me to keep Facebook 5.0.1 for my old iPhone 3G that is used as an iPod, Facebook 6.7.2 for my iPod Touch & Facebook 19.6.4 for my new iPhone 8? As of now I can download the old version on the old device, but when I sync it it always tries to 'Update' it & then says 'Can't be updated because this version is incompatible with this device' making the sync take 3x as long & meaning that if my device crashes for some reason or I choose to restore it becasue of problems I have to go find the old version, hoping that I saved it, delete the new version, drag in the old version, THEN sync & then move the old version back before updating from my other device (Having done this with the 3G & iTouch 4 for years I learned that when the sync transfers purchases from the phone it 'replaces' the file instead of moving the old 1 to the trash).
Some of these apps I have purchased, & by forcing the update to remove the old version Apple is essentially taking something I have purchased & saying I am no longer allowed to use it.
Just in the what 3 months since the new iOS came out I have noticed that now over half of the apps can't be run on my iPod Touch 4G.
It's simple, iTunes should either:
Keep a record of the devices that have synced (I know, it already does) & keep the newest version for the lated iOS in iTunes
Let users have multiple versions of the same app in iTunes & allow us to disable update checks for certain apps
Allow users to choose to download from iTunes the different versions of the apps available from the developer
OR
Allow users to edit the info on Apps, unlinking them from their original & updates & allowing users to keep an old version & still download a new 1
