My Perfect Storm - help!

After a botched import that quadrupled the size of my iTunes library, I attempted to restore it from my backup only to discover it was corrupted. Is there a way to auto-delete tracks in iTunes based on date added or something? Basically, I need to undo the last import and deleting the thousands of items by hand just isn't what I want to spend my time doing. They were imported with iTunes set to organize the library.
Thanks for any help you might give.

Sort your library by Date Added. Click the first song with the suspect date, hold shift, and click the last of the suspect date. That will highlight them all. Then hit the Delete key.

    Fritzk,
    Some other useful info would be connection method to the printer and the application we are printing from, as well as if other printing (docs etc) work or not. But in the mean time lets also go through some of the basics together. Lets make sure the printer is set properly for photos using printing preferences:
    -Click the start button and then select devices and printers.
    -Right click your printer and select printing preferences.
    -In the new window that appears on the left you will see printing shortcuts. There will be one marked as photo or some variation - select that. To the right ensure that the size is set to 4x6.
    -Click ok to close the window and save the changes.
    Try the print again. If it does not resolve anything lets move on to making sure we have no software tripping us up. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en - It can fix a lot on its own and if not give us a better idea of what is going on. Let us know the results.
    If all the software components check out use this article as it handles partial prints under unique circumstances: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c01892627&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    Give the steps listed under windows a try and let us know if it helps.
    Best of Luck!

    Answers in this forum have shown different things have worked for different people.
    For some clearing YouTube cookies and the cache solved the problem. For details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Deleting+cookies and https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
    Others had to go a step further after deleting YouTube cookies and block YouTube from saving cookies. In the Tools menu select Options to open the Options window. Go to the Privacy panel and make sure it is set to "Use custom setting for history". Click the Exceptions button, type in http://www.youtube.com and click on Block
    Another option is to disable hardware acceleration for Flash. To do that right-click on a Flash video, select Settings, go to the first tab of the settings for the option to enable/disable hardware acceleration for Flash. This is something recommended by YouTube for those having problems - http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?&answer=1209379

  • HELP! Everything is gone-The Perfect Storm/WD My PassPort *****!

    So I backed up all of my movies, tv shows, and music to a Western Digital My Passport external hard drive and deleted the data from my Mac to save space.
    # 1 Rain: Then, my husband accidentally disconnected the Hard Drive without ejecting it first.
    # 2 Wind: The Mac and DiskUtility no longer would recognize my Ex HD
    # 3 Lightning: The HD containing Time Machine got corrupted a week before when it got knocked off of the table, along with a can of soda, and landed in the puddle of soda
    #4: Thunder:  Bought Disk Warrior, which rebuilt the Ex HD and after 5 days of rebuilding and 2 days of transferring data to another Hard Drive, the tenuously connected rebuilt drive got disconnected AGAIN when I barely touched the computer with only 12 more hours of data to transfer. 
    The Final Cyclone!!!!!!!  Then, my WD My Passport External Drive (which I KNOW still has that data on it somewhere, but which even DiskWarrior says is a lost cause), fell and thumped its way down the stairs, landing on concrete and completing falling apart. I put it back together as best I could. Now, the drive says it is 2.2TB of unformatted, unreadable drive, while it's supposed to be a 500GB drive.
    So Now.  I am missing whole seasons of TV shows and some music, as well as a few audiobooks.  What is really making me mad is that most of the TV shows I am missing were bought ON the apple TV, but the Apple TV says it isn't there.  Shouldn't it be stored on AppleTV somewhere?

  • MBP 5.1 I have a recent problem with airport connectivity. ethernet connection is working fine, but wifi has become extremely slow and bad functioning. signal is received, no problem with the wlan (my husband 's wifi with MBP is perfect) please help

    I have a MBP 5.1 with snow leopard 10.6.8. It has been working fine until few days ago, when it started to have different problems:
    1) airport is not working well. it is extremely slow, has difficulties in fully loading pages, looses connectivity, It is not browser related, behaves thesame in safari or firefox; it is not the router/wlan; my husband mbp wifi works fine (as it was mine...) and iphone wifi is also working fine. it sees the signal and different networks. , it is also very very slow in opening skype (after that, it is working ok) if  I connect via ethernet cable to the same router, everything works perfectly and with the correct speed.could it be a damaged airport card? a software problem/corruption? logic board? (I hope not, the computer is out of apple care now....)
    2) after a certain time (more than hours) of use, the trackpad is behaving strangly, increase sensitivity to touch, unwanted selection of folders, files and text or images in web pages when i move the cursor, the cursor jumping all over the places while writing, ecc I have the impression it starts doing that when I use heavily the CPU ( and the temperature goes up). Is this again a problem of the mother/logic board?
    I had recently serviced it since it was not booting properly, but except some permissions repaired, they did noit find anything wrong in the hard drive (which I have  now substituted with a SSD) or other hardware.
    thanks in advance for any help/suggestions
    alessandra

    I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
    the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
    thanks again

  • Need Some Brain Storming Help WIth a Long Distance Mail Problem

    I would really appreciate anyones input on this...
    Here's the situation. I'm trying to solve a mail problem for my somewhat elderly Mother. The biggest problem is that she is 3800 miles away from me and nowhere near any sort of help or tech support (Rural Alaska) so I'm trying to sort this out over the phone.
    Anyway, she somehow screwed up her mail. All of a sudden the mail she sends comes from MY account! It shows up in my mailbox as having been sent by me. She is using an iBook G4 that I gave her a year or so ago and I suppose it's possible that somehow my mail account was on there somewhere (?). It's like she accidentally switched users or something.
    I have sent her Email to her normal .Mac email address and it does indeed show up in her mailbox when I check the web mail. She is running Tiger and I'm running Leopard.
    I just can't for the life of me figure out what she would have done and I'm hoping that someone might have an idea. She says that the font sizes all changed as well which leads me to believe that she is indeed using my old settings and mail account.
    Once again, any help really appreciated. I'm heading out of town for a week and she really depends on her email. I'm trying desperately to get this solved before I leave. Thanks!

    It looks like Mail has reset its preferences, including the account settings. What follows is a more thorough explanation that should allow you to determine whether that’s really what happened and what your options would be in that case. I’ll provide the full instructions I usually provide to solve this problem when having direct access to the computer, even though you may find some of them not practical or unnecessary.
    Under some circumstances (e.g. lack of available disk space, filesystem corruption, repeated crashes), Mail may discard the current ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist preferences file and create a new one. This file is where all the account settings are stored. As a result, all the non-.Mac account settings are lost. If you have a .Mac account, however, that account would appear to have been preserved because Mail would set it up automatically using the System Preferences > .Mac settings — but may result in a different .Mac account being automatically set up if for some reason the System Preferences > .Mac settings differ from what until then were the Mail account settings...
    What’s the capacity and space available on the startup disk? Take a look at the comments about disk space in the following article, in case they apply to this case:
    Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what’s it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), quit Mail if it’s running, and make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder (e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down), just in case something else goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. This folder is where all your mail is stored.
    There are at least three ways to restore the account settings:
    (1) Restore ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from a backup if you have one. Mail shouldn’t be running while you do this.
    (2) Set up your mail accounts again (you may want to quit Mail and trash the new com.apple.mail.plist first to start over). If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done. You’ll also have to re-configure some of the Mail > Preferences settings. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    (3) Mail may have renamed the old preferences file to com.apple.mail.plist.saved. If that’s the case, you may try trashing the new com.apple.mail.plist and renaming the old com.apple.mail.plist.saved back to com.apple.mail.plist. Again, be sure Mail isn’t running while doing this. Given the circumstances, there exists the possibility that com.apple.mail.plist.saved became corrupt, but that often is not the case and the settings can usually be restored by just renaming the file back to com.apple.mail.plist.
    As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • Ipohne 5s got wet, now there is no service but works perfectly fine. help ?

    is it because it got wet ? or just a service problem?

    Since it has notservice, it obviously does not "works perfectly fine".
    is it because it got wet ? or just a service problem?
    One or the other or both.
    Contact your cell carrier and/or take the phone into an Apple store.
    FYI: wet is considered accidental damage and is not covered under warranty.

  • The Perfect Storm of iPod Suckiness

    iPod is sad computer & iTunes dosn't recongize my iPod sometimes it shows monochrome battery icon. I have no clue how to fix this since i cant restore it since the computer dosnt recongize it. If anyone can help it would be great.

    ive had the same problems and think that it is absolutely insane that the only option you have to fix the apparently flawed ipod is to send it in and spend $250 for a possibly remanufactured ipod. I think my first mistake was spending $400 on a 4th gen 40g dinosaur of an ipod almost exactly 2yrs ago b4 everyone jumped on the ipod bandwagon. I too am now in the process of trying to afford another $250 as an 18 yr old for a zune. I basically hate apple right now. what have they given me-- a whole lotta nothing. i live by my music and have been lost for the last 6 months trying to baby my ipoop to get maybe just maybe a few months more outta it. i give up--off to microsoft for the zune i go!!!!

  • Set up perfect storm

    Hi,
    Whilst setting up my daughter's new Touchsmart I have managed to get myself locked out. The Userid I created for her won't accept the password I put in, so I have no idea what's gone wrong there, and I managed to create the other account with a microsoft account that's not correct (don't ask). So as far as I can tell I'm going to need a Windows 8.1 disk to boot into to hack things. Oh, but to add insult to injury, there are no recovery disks sent with the machine or a written product code for the OS!!
    Any ideas the best way to proceed? I believe I need a 8.1 ISO or a recovery disk, something I can boot into on startup.
    This question was solved.

    Hi @KesMoCo ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Notebook and not knowing the password. You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something did not go well on the Notebook.

  • A Perfect Storm: Migrating KM code from EP6 to NW04 and EP5

    I am looking for a guide to developing in EP5...in KM and generally...I have not found any useful documentation in the SDN yet...
    Does anyone here know where the EP5 Developer guides are?
    Thanks in advance...points rewarded to helpful answers

    Hi Cory,
    there is not that much developer doc for EP5 and has never been. I have started on EP5, and that really has been hard times, I can tell you.

  • I have a Windows Vista desktop and an old XP laptop, both run Firefox perfectly. However, my Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop will not run ANY version of Firefox--constant "not responding" messages. Chrome and IE9 work perfectly. Help!!

    To mostly repeat my question, I am a longtime Firefox user on both an XP laptop and a Vista desktop. So here I get the most "capable" computer of all, a Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop, 64-bit Windows 7, 4G RAM...and it won't run Firefox at all! I have installed an uninstalled both Firefox 3, and just now, Firefox 4. No changes. When I open the software, it usually just locks up for a minute or so, and I finally get a "not responding" message at the top of the screen.
    Obviously there is something corrupt in the guts of my laptop. But both IE9 and Chrome work very well--Chrome is blazing fast. I still prefer Firefox because it works best with some particular software I use for work...but I have to go to one of my older computers to do it!
    ANY solutions out there? This seems like a very odd problem.
    Posting from the Firefox website...using Google Chrome!

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • It's almost 7:00 PM in London please help me turingtest2 et al with the great Itunes update debaucle of 2014!

    I have read every post regarding this Apple fiasco but this has been a perfect storm of Apple failure for me, the only reason I opened my Itunes last night was because my Ipod of 5 years died and I had to buy a new one, so my love for Apple has diminished greatly in the last 24 hours.
    Running: Microsoft windows XP media center edition version 2002 service pack 3.
    I know enough about computers to be dangerous, I may have deleted something trying to get this Itunes re-install to work. I've been able to follow everything posted like:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5822688?tstart=30 I have deleted EVERYTHING more than once, restarted more than once, I even tried loading an older version of Itunes, but the problem I'm running into is my sound card can't or won't be detected, it was working fine before this fiasco so I'm not sure if it's the re-install that has caused it to be undetected or maybe it just died at the perfect time. I keep getting this message: I tunes has detected a problem with your aiudio/video configuration and playback may not operate properly.  I can see video but no sound, I can get into my Itunes library but nothing will play, my sound card doesn't even show up in my devices section anymore.
    I read a post that said something about messing with the msconfig and the inetcpl.cpl and the dxdiag in the START/RUN area so I may have done something stupid.

    Most likely, you have a web plugin that depends on the Java runtime distributed by Apple. If you no longer need the plugin, remove it. Otherwise, install Java.
