Multiple entries for same apps showing next to 'Open With' in contextual menu since last backup

I did a back up of my MBPs internal drive recently, using Carbon Copy Cloner - since then there are multiples of the same icons for all apps under 'Open With' in the contextual menu. I seem to remember there being a command line that could be entered in Terminal to fix this, but I can't find it anywhere.
Can anyone help?

Yes, LaunchServices. These are only cache files but can get corrupted. Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices: (be sure to copy the entire line it's a scroll)
Code:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Multiple entries for same title in ADE title list

I have 6 entries for the same title in the ADE title list. All have the same date and time added. All but one are blank in the "Last Read" column. On my computer I have only 1 epub file for this title. Why do I have multiple entries for the same title? If I delete all entries except for the one that has a date and time in the Last Read column will that be okay -- will I still be able to access the book?

N81 Call Log - Multiple entry for same number

Hi,
Earlier I was using Nokia 7250, in it the call log for missed/dialled/received calls have the facility for storing multiple entries for the same number.
i.e., say I received calls from no. XX @ 1 Am, 2 AM & 3 Am. Then the received call log for the no. XX will have an entry with these three time stamps
Where as in N81 only the most recent entry i.e., 3AM is been shown and I couldn't find a way to find out the earlier calls (1 AM & 2 AM)
Is there a way to find it out?
Thanks.

Contextual menu in finder "open with" has multiple entries of same apps

When I use the contextual menu (right click) on documents, the menu point "open with..." shows multiple entries of the same programs. For example when right clicking a PDF, there appears 5 times neoOffice, 2 times Preview, 6 times ... any other application that you could use to open the document. This occurs on all user accounts, only that the multiplicity of listings of the apps is different. So it can't be a preferences problem on my account. What else could be the cause?
This is quite annoying because the apps-list becomes very long and unusable.
Note: I have 2 internal start up disks with OS and apps installed, but only one mounted. That means, there cannot be a duplicate (triplicate...etc) copy of any app accessible at any time.
Thanks.

if I quit all running applications, it will be pretty hard to put anything in the Trash!
Are you being literal? Like quitting the Finder too? Or what bespeaks you?
Actually, I use Xupport to do that, but I think Onyx and several other Utilities include that option.

Multiple lines for same app on daily trend report?

Hey All,
This is my first app and my first time reading the reports so pardon me if I am confused. I noticed that there are several lines (about 20) on my trend report all for the same App. From reading about the trend reports it seemed like each app was supposed to have only 1 line. Can anyone tell me whats going on? The only thing I can think of is that I switched my primary category so maybe while the app was transitioning strange things happened. Thanks.

Typical behaviour is that it'll start to drop off a bit. You'll then probably get a boost at the first update assuming your release date gets bumped. Big boosts come from being featured but for most developers that remains a dream.
Basically it's all about visibility. When you're on the first page of your category people are a lot more likely to buy than when you're on the 10th.

Syncing ical creates multiple entries for same event

I'm sure this is common. I cal sync creates multiple enties for the same event. Any way to work around this?
Also, duplicate calendars are on the Iphone (2 for inbox) can one be deleted?

I think I know what can help. I also support Mac users in a mixed environment, and find that being able to access a Windows machine to test settings for my iCal users is very very helpful. If you do not have one, I could also fix this one by adding the user's account to my one Mac that runs Entourage.
On a PC: set up one of the problem accounts in Outlook, then go to Tools->Options & click on the Delegates tab. Click on a Delegate name (if they all have the same permission level, you can select all), then click the Permissions button. If the delegate have "Editor" permissions, there will be a little checked box that sends the delegate copies of all those meetings. De-select it.
Lemme know if you want Entourage instructions or if that does it for you.
The real question, of course, is why are there so many Exchange functions that iCal can't touch. Grrrr....

Backed up apps showing up in "Open with-"

Each time I right click to open a file, I'm given a list that shows triplicates of all my apps. This is because I keep a bootable backup as well as Time Machine, connected to my computer. From the menu, I cannot see which app is from which device (my computer, or TM, or backup) so I'm totally confused. Any suggestions show to fix?

For one of the duplicated applications, locate it in the secondary OS and then do the following:
1. Copy the entire following line to the Terminal:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -u
2. Type a single space after the above line, and then drag the duplicate application to the Terminal window, followed by pressing enter. This should unregister the application from the launch services and hopefully have it no longer be used as a handler for file types.

Add apps to Open With in context menu

is it possible for example to add Preview to "Open With.." menu when I right click on Folder? because it's anoying to choose Preview every time when I click Other to achieve that Preview will create thumbnails of all pictures in that folder

preview can't open folders. it opens files. in general, you can't add anything to "Open with menu" by hand. the only way to force something to be there is to make it the default application for certain file type. this should already be the case with image files unless you've changed the default application to something other than Preview. to set a default application control-click on an image file and select 'get info". in the resulting popup go to "open with section and set it to open with the app of your choice. then click "change all".
Lastly, to quickly open all files in a given folder in preview drop that folder on Preview in the dock.
when you press CMD + O in Preview and select folder, Preview will open all pictures from the folder with their thumbnails

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.
You need to update your plugins. It is important to keep them updated due to continuing security fixes and improvements in those plug-ins:

I want to create a mail merge for address labels into a table, but when I fill a table with merge fields, it ends up creating multiple entries for the same address, rather than one table full of each address.

...but when I fill a table with merge fields, it ends up creating multiple entries for the same address, rather than one table full of each address. Please help.
Thanks!

That is a quirk of Pagesthat it applies only one record per page.
There is a way around this:

Multiple entries for the same company.

Anybody out there have any idea how to enter multiple entries for the same company in Mail without having to enter all information every time for each individual. This was a very basic feature in MS Outlook. Possibly a workaround if not an option within Mail? Thanks.

Select a card with the details on it, and Edit/Copy /Edit/Paste (Command-C Command-V). Now edit one of the cards with the new individual's details. If starting from scratch, create a company card with no personal information and duplicate it as needed.

How do I clear out multiple entries for a persons name in the Faces selection?

Can I get some help clearing up multiple entries in the "Click to Name" dialog box in iPhone 9.6?
Here's the behavior I'm seeing:
When I try to assign a name to a Face by clicking the "Click to Name" option, I start typing in my son's name and iPhone is showing me 15 entries for his name.
Of the 15 options, only 1 of them shows a mini-thumbnail photo of him, and a different one suggests that it's from the Contacts app, but the rest of them are blank.
This behavior is not happening for any of the other Faces in the library.
In terms of troubleshooting, I've opened Apple Contacts and ensured there is only 1 contact record for him (there are 2 email address listed). I've selected Library > Faces > And I see one polaroid image in the list for my son. In the past if there were multiple listings here I've seen similar results. I'm not sure what else to try.
What causes these to be duplicated?

I spoke with Apple Support today and they provided a workaround:
I had 7 entries for a person.
Find untagged photo with person in it. Select Entry 1
Find untagged photo with person in it. Select Entry 2
Repeat until you have at least 1 photo tagged with each of the 7 entries
Now go back to Faces and you'll see 7 polaroids listed.
Select each of them and merge them.
Problem solved.

Multiple copies of the same printer showing up in the print pull down menu...

Hi... I just recently installed an Epson XP-410 wireless printer so that we could print from our iPads and iPhones. I don't know if this is the correct forum to ask the question(s) in or not, but here goes...
1. There are multiple copies of the printer showing up in the drop down print menu when I go to select the printer. How do I know which is the correct printer to choose, or does it matter?
2. Can I get rid of the un-needed multiples? If so, how?
3. Also, I have been having an issue with printing to it when I switch between programs. When I tried printing to it from a simple text editor, it came up and said that there was a communications issue. I used to have a Brother network printer connected via Ethernet, and had no issues printing from any of my computers, but I couldn't print from the iPad with the Brother. So, we bought the Epson. Anyway, I had to restart the computer to re-establish the link between my computer and the printer. Didn't think I should have to do this since it is a network (wireless) printer. Any thoughts on that?
For a little more information, our main computer is an iMac (20-inch) running OS 10.7.
Thank you,
Jim

How to stop this multiple entry against same condition type in pricing

My client is using manual condition type for the basic price "ZBPR". Now system allowing multiple entry against this condition type in the pricing screen during order creation i.e in the first line if we put ZBPR 00 , in the second line system allowing to put another value against same ZBPR say for example 2000 & doing all subsequent calculations on the basis of 3000 .which is not at all acceptable by my client .Please suggest how to stop this multiple entry against same condition type

You have to make the condition type as Mandatory and not manual.
If you are entering many condition records of the ZPR0 then the latest entry will be taken for further processing for subtotal rebate and total price.
For all the other entered condition records will have yellow traffic signal which is not active.
you can assign a routine with the help pf your abaper...
In the Transaction VOFM define a requirement such that
you condition type takes value only one at the time of order entry.

Duplicate entries for same primary key

Hi,
I am facing problem to insert 2 or more than 2 entries for same PRIMARY KEY in the database table.
As I know that we cant do that. But Client has given me the XL sheet which contains 2 entries for same primary key. How can it be done? Please let me know how can I insert 2 data for same primary key in database table.
Waiting for your answers.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Prasanna

Hi,
You can achieve this .... All you have to do is to add a new field (a Sequence Number ) to the table. This number will be incremented for each duplicate primary keys. For example....
Consider the excel file has duplicate entries 3 primary keys. Now you add a new field named Sequence Number in your DB Table.....
When you load the data into Database...then the records will look like this...
Key1     Key2    Key3    Seq
A          B          C           1
A          B          C           2
A          B          D           1
A          B          D           2
A          C          D           1
A          C          E           1
and so on...
I hope this solves your purpose.....
Whenever there are duplicate entries, such as the one mentioned in your scenario, then a new field can be added in Database. This field acts like a count or sequence number.... Thus you can maintain unique records.
