Need help please Itunes listing songs multiple times after importing

a play list.
I recently had my hard drive crash on me although had most of the music backed up as well as copys of the play lists I and my daughter had created.
The problem is that once I import a play list over the net work itunes is listing the songs twic and creating a mess and other minor problems. Yet if I try and import the play list before I add any music to the library it does nothing. How in the heck do I make itunes just search the library for the songs listed on the play list and then show them with out it actually trying to list the songs in duplication?
ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo   Windows XP Pro  

That may be what is happening, since the play list was created on my machine before it was then moved over to a back up drive. Just really frustrated since we recently lost our daughter and trying to get this sorted out.
I appricate your taking the time to respond to my question. I will try and see if I can get this sorted out later this eve or in the morn. If any one has any ideas or knows how to get itunes to not display duplicate song titles I would be extremly gratefull.

  • Need help restoring iTunes Library and iPhoto Library after re-install???

    some history, my 5 1/2 year old iMac started as Tiger, upgrade to Leopard and then to Snow Leopard...the latter being done after Snow Leopard came to market. Over a week ago I developed a Disk error that could not be fixed by the repair disk and everything else that Apple could come up with. The iMac at this point was pretty unresponsive. (It had been running great for years) Anyhow the decision was made to do a complete restore. Time Machine had made a backup just the previous day or two earlier plus I have close to 2 years of other SL backups. So per Apple, we did a full install of Leopard followed by a upgrade to Snow Leopard, followed by installing all the updates. We then reinstalled iWorks (with iTunes and iPhoto) and installed those updates as well. So now I had an empty itunes and iPhoto.....Now it gets confing for me! It was late at night and the Apple folks were shutting down. They simply said, Go to your last Time Machine back up date and hit restore and you will be all set. Well...what ever it restored, I can't find my music or photos. I called the next night, again it was late and we only had a short time but this person had me do a system Migration...to restore everything back to the way it was before......So now I have 100 gigs of everything I recognize from my applications to all the stuff in my User file and it would appear everthing else. The problem is....I can't find my old iPhoto library or my itunes library anywhere and I am scared to death that I have lost them despite all my Time Machine Back-ups. Worried and concerned!!! Bill

After the Restore and all the updates, I ran the Repair Permissions and Verify Disk and have No errors...for now/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png

    If you need to, you should be able to selective restore things from later backups, via the "Star Wars" display. See #15 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum)., if you're not sure how to do that.
    I am going to watch like a hawk and if it does occur then I know I probably have some HD issues.
    Good plan. You might want to run this: [Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509]. Run the Extended tests.
    I also think I may do something like a Carbonite back-up in addition to my external HD.
    That will be excruciatingly slow. See #27 in the FAQ for some other suggestions.

  • Hi all, I need help please to run few query one after the other...

    Hi,
    Here's an example of a SQL*Plus script.
    Use any text editor to create a file (let's call it aug_6.sql) that contains all the statements you want to execute in order, like this:
    --      *****  Begin aug_6.sql  *****
    CREATE SEQUENCE rownum_incrementing INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1;
    CREATE SEQUENCE increment_order_num INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH 1000;
    Insert into orders_main(order_num,order_date,sapak_num,status) values (increment_order_num.nextval, sysdate, '12','new3');
    Insert into orders_details(row_num,order_num,item_num,quantity) values
    (rownum_incrementing.NextVal,
    ( select max(order_num) from orders_main) ,'14','40');
    Insert into delivery_main
    values (increment_del_num.nextval
    ,(select max(order_num) from orders_main)
    , sysdate
    , (select sapak_num from orders_main where order_num = ( select max(order_num) from orders_main)));
    --      *****  End aug_6.sql  *****Note that I made a lot of changes in what you posted, because there seemed to be a lot of mistakes. (See list below.)
    Once you have saved the file, you can run it in SQL*Plus by referring to the full path name of the file:
    SQL> @c:\aaa\bbb\aug_6This is very useful if you have to do the exact same thing more than once (for example, if you are going to create the same sequences and INSERT the same data in your development database, then in your test database, and finally in your production database).
    Here are a few things for you to watch:
    (a) "Query" means "SELECT statement". Use "SQL Statement" if you're talking about any kind of SQL command (including CREATE SEQUENCE and INSERT).
    (b) Every SQL statement must end with a semicolon (;) or slash (/).
    (c) Make sure single-quotes always occur in pairs.
    (d) Make sure parentheses occur in pairs, every "(" followed by a ")".
    (e) Don't use strings to refer to numbers, or vice cersa. For example, if the columns item_num and quantity in the table orders_dtails are NUMBERs, then give them NUMBER values (without quotes) like 14 and 40, not string values like '14' and '40'.
    (f) As part of a larger statement, you can simply use
    SYSDATE
    instead of the scalar sub-query
    (SELECT SYSDATE FROM dual)

    had a problem with my itunes so i had went on itunes website and reinstall itunes for windows and after it complete it said that the feature yoy are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable i need help please!!!!!!!!!

    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the revo uninstaller http://http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
           next download itunes. it worked for me hope this is helpful!!
        oonce you get into the revo uninstallergo thru to delete itunes hit uninstall on the itunes icon then you will go thru to it will tell u the same nmessage about the feature and network hit cancell then go thru and hit scan (make sure bthe advance scan button is pushed) this will take awhile but go thru the list and hit everything associated with itunes. hit delete then install itunes again. it worked for me hope it works for you!

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
    iWork > Pages
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    comme il y a un dossier
    iWork > Numbers
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
    puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
    puis lancez la recherche.
    Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
    Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
    Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
    Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.

  • I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

    I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

    If you are talking about Safari on the iPad, there is no version of Adobe Flash for iOS and there never has been. Clear Safari, close the app and reset the iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
    In order to close apps, 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.
    If you are talking about Safari on your Mac, you are in the wrong forum. But I would still clear the cache, quit Safari and restart the Mac.
