Music is being saved twice

So my macbook is saving music in a seperate itunes folder. I unchecked the box where it asks to copy files into a seperate itunes library but what do i do now?? Should i deleted the itunes folder that has my music duplicated in the itunes library? I feel that this might deleted my itunes library entirely and my playlists... Im really confused and its really taking up a lot of memory since i have SO much music... Please any help would be appreciated

Check your iTunes preferences. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced and see if you have "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" checked. If you have then everything you add from your hard drive is being copied to your iTunes Music folder resulting in two copies of everything. (Importing from CD should only result in one copy going to iTunes Music). If you right click on a song in iTunes and choose "Show in Finder" you'll be able to see which copy of the song iTunes is using, if you find that's it's using the copies in the iTunes Music folder then you can delete the one stored in the other folder.

How do I know if my purchased music is being saved to the "cloud" so I don't need to do any other storage?

How do I know if my purchased music is being saved to the "cloud" so I don't need to do any other storage?

You're purchased music is not so much saved to the cloud, but rather indexed, since it is already in the cloud by virtue of being in the iTunes store.
If you want to check whether your purchases are being indexed or not, go to the purchased section on the main page of the iTunes store. There you will see a list of all your purchased items.

Imported music not being saved!!

I recently reinstalled iTunes on a new computer and successfully imported the library from my old iTunes which is being stored on a server. Today I began getting an error message telling me that many songs I had recently (since the new install) added to iTunes could not be played because the original file could not be found. I went into my iTunes Music folder and found that much of the music I had added had not been saved to the library. Only music that was imported directly from a CD had been saved. None of my downloaded music was saved. I know that on my old machine everything was saved to the iTunes library. I looked for a setting in preferences but didn't see anything. Is there any way to fix this?

Instead of unchecking 18,000 songs, just create a Smart playlist and limit it to 1500MB. (You only have ~1800MB, not 2GB)
Open iTunes prefs -> iPod and set it to Automatically update only selected songs and playlists.
Also, you have to have room for the podcasts, so that is why to set it at 1500.

Music spot being saved when I stop a song

When I play a song and I switch to a different song, the old songs spot is saved and when I go back and play the old song it begins from where I left off. Its really annoying....

Go into Get Info for the song>>Options tab. There is a remember playback position checkbox.
This option is also available when you do a multiple track Get Info.
Select Desired tracks, right click then Get Info.

ITunes Music saved twice in iTunes and iTunes Media folders

I am using an old MacBook Air for my iTunes, which has limited hard drive space. My husband also has his music on this computer under his own user name. We keep having problems with disk space now, and when doing a search with OmniDisk Sweeper it is showing that the iTunes music files are double the amount of music actually stored - it seems that the music is being stored both in the iTunes folder and iTunes Media floder.
Can one of these folders be removed, or can they be consolidated in some way, or is the only solution to put all our music on to an external hard drive?
I'm fairly new to using Macs, so please bear that in mind!
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Why am i being charged twice for 11.04 and 11.46 when I did not purchase those songs, I used an itunes card 25$ and I still have 0.04 cents left?

Why am i being charged twice for 11.04 and 11.46 when I did not purchase those songs, I used an itunes card 25$ and I still have 0.04 cents left?
I couldnt redeem w/o an apple ID so when i did it asked for a credit card. And I want to discontinue and remove my account from itunes but it wont let me, there is no account discontinue or removal of account

Because too much time has passed I can't edit this into the prior comment, but here is the info regarding reverting to iTunes 11.0.2 (assuming you do have a time machine backup) from https://discussions.apple.com/message/22057703#22057703

Repairing permissions doesn't fix it.
I reverted to the previous version, 11.0.2.
1. Quit the new crash-prone iTunes.
2. Delete the app.
3. Restore v. 11.0.2 with Time Machine.
4. In your iTunes folder look for a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries", find the latest one.
5. In the iTunes folder itself you'll see "iTunes Library.itl", delete it (or compress it and save a copy for later just in case.
6. Copy the newest .itl file in Previous iTunes Libraries to the iTunes folder and rename it "iTunes Library.itl".
7. Launch the older version of iTunes.
My crashing has seemed to have ceased with a revert to an older version. I noticed today that the newer crashing iTunes had been launched for hours but not playing anything, when I played internet radio it crashed within 5mins, fed up I reverted to an older version.
Btw, a simpler way to do this is to revert to older iTunes app, then hold Option when it launches and choose an older library.

The application detected an error that prevents changes from being saved.

Hi. I'm having this problem almost all the time when I do some color correction.
"The application detected an error that prevents changes from being saved. To avoid losing your work, quit Final Cut Pro."
Any ideas why this is happening?
I'm on a 2010 Mac Pro running latest Mavericks and latest FCP X.
I already removed FCP X, and all the effects I have installed. But still the issue persists.
Thanks.

That could have happened. I can't remember though.
Is there any work around?
I currently only have 1 open library and 1 event on it. If I move or copy that event into a new library, would that in theory work?
Thanks for the help so far.

Is there a way to not have photo stream photos save to my iphone? i have many shared photo streams hoping to not bog down my iphone space. but alas the photos are are being saved on my iphone.
For example. When I share a photo stream with my dad and brother and mother all the photos they are putting in the shared photo stream are taking up space on my iphone! I'll be out of space in no time at this rate.

Messages are not being saved on N96

On my N96 I have set save sent messages and receive report as 'yes' but after updating firmware (20.050) messages are not being saved.Is there any solution to someone.

I have exactly the same problem with my N95 but I can't really say when it started. Suddenly I just noticed my phone didn't save sent messages anymore and hadn't done it for some time, but can't really tell after what it started to occur. Really strange problem, not even reseting back to factory settings helped - after I put "receive report" option back it stops saving sent messages to sent folder. Actually if I go to "sent" folder quickly after sending the sms, it shows there for little moment before disappears. Really strange. I couldn't google any other information about this problem than this topic.

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

HT4075 I tried the steps mentioned above but the changes are not being saved.

I am not able to edit or merge PDF files. I followed the steps mentioned in the Mac support community but the changes are not being saved. Any solution to this?

The link you posted gives be a 404 not found message.
The reason you're getting the repeat is because your site name is wilgenroos.nl and the first page of your site is wilgenroos.
The standard URL for domain names that are forwarded with the CNAME method is:
http://www.domain_name.com/site_name/page_name.html.
You can change the site and page names in iWeb to give you something more informative about the site and page.
If you're publishing to a 3rd party server and want to get rid of the site name in the url and only have
http://www.domian_name.com/page_name.html
do the following:
publish the site to a folder on your hard drive (already done)
use Cyberduck to upload just the contents of your site folder to the root folder of your account on the server.
You should delete the old site folder and files that are currently there beforehand.

If I open the same document with two different apps on my iPhone does the document get saved twice?

For example, I chose to open a .pdf document I received as an attachment with Adobe Reader or iBooks, and now the document is available anytime I open Adobe Reader or iBooks. My question is if these applications are able to open the document anytime they want then the document must be available somewhere on the device, where do they get saved? And do they get saved twice if I opened the same document once with iBooks and once with Adobe Reader?

File Options not being saved

I appologize if this is the wrong forum, but I did a search and failed to find a related subject.
When I click on File>Options then modify them the way I want to, then close Designer 2008 and reopen it, they're back to the default values.
How can I retain my options even after closing designer and reopenning?
Thanks much!

What version of Crystal are you using?
Are you a local PC Administrator also?
Try right clicking on the crw32.exe and selecting Run As Administrator and then change them.
Are you clicking the OK or Save button after making changes or simply closing the window using top right X button?
Those options are saved to the registry, only reason they are not being saved is you don't have permission or some anti-virus software or Restore Point is writing the original settings back when you close CR.
You may want to check with your IT people to see if they have pushed out some sort our Profile update that doesn't allow you to keep changes to the registry.
After making the changes and you create a new report do you see the changes? Don't close the designer.
Thank you
Don

Sent email not being saved :-?

I have often issues with using mail and google imap, but it's not usually mission critical stuff.
But I have one issue which is really really annoying me, sending a reply to one particular email: when I send, it's not saving my message anywhere, either in sent items, or on the server. It's as though it never existed - but I know it was sent, because I got an auto-reply. I've never experienced this before; everything else saves fine as far as I can tell.
When I type it again as best I can remember, and convert my reply to plain text, it saves it like it should; but when I don't, it doesn't. Anyone else experienced this bug? I can't see anything in the raw source which should stop it being saved. I think the message I'm replying to was created with Outlook.

Ok, so nobody is having this problem. Any ideas on how to fix it?
