New and totally lost - I have TRIPLICATED my library!

At Christmas last year we installed Itunes on the pc because we got a nano. We loaded select music on it. Now, we have decided to stop using media player totally and use only Itunes. This is pretty much used as our home stereo and we have it on all the time. I can't figure out what to do. I thought I "viewed" the duplicates and got rid of them - but there seems to be more. Some have "!" beside them and I delete those, sometimes I get the "empty to recycle bin?" message and sometimes I dont. Can anyone tell me what to do? Should I uninstall Itunes and start again? or should I? Im VERY frustrated and my boyfriend is ready to throw Itunes and Ipods out the window......Thanks

I suggest you build a fresh new blank library.
Close iTunes
Now restart it, and hold down the SHIFT key.
You'll get asked to find or create a new library - choose "create new library".
Name it something sensible that you'll easily remember. The default is "iTunes 1", which might work for you.
Drag all your music back into iTunes for a fresh new ibrary, with no duplicates.
Here is the article on using multiple libraries
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.6/en/15502.html
edit - and since you have created a new library, when you connect your iPod it will tell you your iPod is synced to another library. That is normal. Erase & sync the ipod to your new library.

I was importing photos to iphoto and somehow lost access to my iTunes library. when i open iPhoto, it asks me to select a library, but there are no photo libraries for me to select. I cant find my pictures and have no access to my iPhoto..

somehow lost access to my iTunes library.
What does iTunes have to do with this? Also more specific information might be helpful.
What system and iPhoto versions are you running?
Where are you being asked to select a library? What kind of library, iPhoto or iTunes?
What do you see when you first launch iPhoto?

You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

New to mac, iphoto and totally lost

Hi,
Just got two macs, one ibook and one imac.
transition from windows is not as easy as I thought. We have different users in the imac. Imported some pics in my user and some in my wife's. Set to share, but the pictures do not show in the source folder. Try everything: totally lost. When I go to the user's folder, there is a little -, and tells me i have no privilege to open the folder. How do we share the pics? is there an easy way?

Hi bemusdan,
follow brians advise and you should be set to go. I will give you some info to add to brian's.
SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
-both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
-both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
-Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.
Sharing links from Apple....
Sharing your photos between computers
About shared photos
Turning off photo sharing
Looking for shared photos
SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
You can try one of these three methods:
1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
4- I have also read about ShareAlike
There is no other info on the site about how it works.
I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

F.F. keeps telling me i need an ActiveX Plug-in but i can not find one for 3.5.11. This is the first time i have ever had a problem and totally lost here...please help. Jared

I was going to add some new ringtones to my cell and in trying to listen to the samples i keep getting the Firefox needs to an ActiveX Plug-in would i like to be directed to where it is but nothing there matches....
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== Every time i have tried to go to site to review ring tones...

Firefox, and most other browsers except IE, does not use ActiveX. See [[ActiveX]]
You can try this add-on to see if it will allow you to listen to the ring tones by using IE's rendering engine in a Firefox tab:

Upgraded to 7.2 and totally lost audio output

I wonder if anyone can help.
I have upgraded from 7.1 to 7.2 logic pro. now when i try to open songs i've been working on, i get no audio output at alll, just some nasty clicks and pops.
all tracks look like they're playing and show bouncing meters, but the master output is showing no audio output at all.
this only seems to happen on songs i had started in 7.1 because if i just load up logic and start a new song there's no problem.
i thought an upgrade was supposed to iron out problems not create them!
anyone had the same problem or got any ideas i would appreciate hearing from you.
my system:
G5 dual 1.8 Gig
mac OS 10.4.6
logic pro 7.2
audio interface - Novation X-station

i've tried disconnecting the X-station and running logic on built in audio but exactly the same happens.
after more messing, i've found that there are a whole load of songs which won't play audio, these are all in one folder and are an album project.
other songs in other foldres seem to play OK.
i haven't made any changes to the folder and am totally confused as to what is happening.
when i open these songs and press play, i get a horrible click or pop but then no audio. however when i press stop i get the reverb tail of an audio track.
i thought i'd finished the album which is why i thought it was safe to install the 7.2 upgrade, however now the artist wants a few changes and i can't do anything at the moment.
andy
Do you get any sound from any sessions other than
what you've described?
Does this also happen with internal/BuiltIn Audio?

Downloaded latest verzion of thunderbird, and thr required latest version of lightning and totally lost my calendar. It disappeared and I can't find it.

Today I received a message that I should download the latest version of Thunderbird. I did. Then I got a message that my version of lightning was incompatible and needed to be updated. I tried to download the latest version of lightning and a blank email appeared with an attachment that ended with .xpi. My calendar with several medical appointments and many important dates for 6 months has totally disappeared. I have tried to locate it in my backup hard drive without success. How do I recover it? I have tried to upload the file name as it appeared but the upload icon just keeps whirring around. the attached file name is "lightning-3.3.1-tb+sm-windows-1.xpi". I have also tried the windows Recovery option for several dates but can't recover my calendar. HELP.

You have a mismatched version of Thunderbird and Lightning. Since you do not say what version of Thunderbird you are running the best I can offer is go to this link and get the correct version of Lightning.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/lightning/?src=hp-dl-mostpopular
The version of Lightning that you reference above is a Beta version so unless you are running beta Thunderbird is is not correct.
When you get a match pair of software all you important events will return.

Old operating systems allowed you to click on recipients when sending emails without adding a comma after each address. Now with the new and improved system, I have to stop and add a comma after each name. How can I avoid this?

With the new OSX system, whenever I send an email with multiple recipients, I need to physically add a comma after each address. I never needed to do that with all the other older systems, it was done automatically. How can I fix this frustrating glitch?

option discovered in preferences. Really this and any feature that moves deletes or edits a users data should as far as possible be OFF BY DEFAULT. It shouldn't by default and without the users specific say do this dangerous and unnecessary thing without even letting the user know what it's doing!!! And then cause me a few hours (as i'm new to mac) searching for the option so as to switch it off. If i hadn't noticed the status cage declaring that it was copying files then i might never have twigged that this insane thing was occurring. And if i hadn't of noticed i would have been left maintaining the contents of the folder i copied the files to, the folder which as far as i was informed and so believed was also the location of the music files i was playing. How does Apple justify this 'genius' piece of software non-design? Surely it will hurt no one if this was off by default for new users - overall at least i dare say it would cause a lot less distress in the future for the unsuspecting public at large. Thanks for the support.

TS4006 i was about to have my iphone activated and got lost. i have app "find my iphone turned on so far it says offline message and its been a week past. I was wondering if there is a way apple could detect it on some special program...

last week i went to thte bank and made a withdrawl for having my iphone activated back only to have found out later that she's no where to find. I hen proceed to check on her on my appfs find my iphone but to no avail for it was noted to have "offline". my closest guess would be on the bank's camera but the people whom i speak with has a lack of initiative to help me out and end up to get involve but a limited and not sufficient enough to satisfy me since i only see me and the tellers pose and i specifically stated to them while i was on line waiting coz i end up making hide and seek to a toddler of one and a half years and boy everytime i shows up my surprise me on a pamplet maybe my only clue to have ended dropping my phone in replave of the pamplet randomly left by one of the customer, she would simply roll her eyes and face on a different direction, we where even like a quick show for everyone who where there waiting as well.
my question is since everytime i checked it always on the offline mode, is there anyway possible to still locate it through her serial/IMEI number or like a special program to detect it. Do i still have a chance to recover after a one week missed siri ? pls. enlighten me for she was my best buddy. thanks

There's no other way to track it other than Find My iPhone. All you can do is wait to see if it ever goes back online. The serial number will only help to identify it as yours if it is ever found, and the IMEI number would only allow your carrier to blacklist the phone so it couldn't be reactivated on their network, if the carrier offers this service.

Utterly and totally LOST and CONFUSED getting IE10 in Server 2012 x64 to work

I am at my wits end, I believe I posted in here before but am still having tons of problems with IE10 and Server 2012 x64. Can someone shed some light on ANY of the following:
1)Is IE10 embedded with flash player by default or not? If so what version?
2)If IE10 is embedded with flash player how do I get it to consistently work and show the flash player test movie from Adobe's site instead of a gray box (following steps on site does NOTHING to fix issue)?
2b) I have had some success simply changing the following security settings for the Internet Zone in Security:
Settings>Internet Options>Security>Internet Zone, click custom level> Active X Controls and Plugins> Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting: enable
Settings>Internet Options>Security>Internet Zone, click custom level> Scripting> Active Scripting: enable
on some machines the above works and I see a flash movie, other machines not.
3)What is the shockwave flash object in my add-ons for IE? Some machines have this and some don't. Was it installed by default or installed manually? I cannot install this on non working machines where it is missing as the install page from adobe (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) says there is nothing to install since IE 10 should have flash player embeded by default. (it says flash player is integrated with Windows Explorer in Windows8. You do not need to install Flash Player and the bottom of IE says an add-on for this website failed to run).
This is a NIGHTMARE process that doesn't work and is pathetic. Can someone please steer me in the direction to get this simple POS to work? Something that should work by default doesn't, and then should take no more than 10 minutes is wasting hours of my time.

Hi,
The RoboHelp 10 API should work for WebHelp created with RoboHelp 9. Since the RH10 API will now support Multiscreen HTML5 (introduced with RoboHelp 10), I imagine it will work with VS 2012. But I’ve not tried that. You can try the RH10 API, but Adobe won’t support it
Alternatively: A colleague of mine created a custom C# API some time ago. That might work for you: http://www.wvanweelden.eu/blog/2012/08/03/custom-webhelp-apis

My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library so now how do I transfer music from my old iPod to my new one

A little while ago my computer crashed and I lost everything, including my iTunes library except for on my iPod Shuffle. I just got a new iPod Nano for Christmas and I need to transfer the music from my old one to my new one but I can't figure out how to do this because my iTunes does not have the music that my old one does.

HT1751 I purchased a new computer and would like to have my iTunes on this computer as well as on my laptop. Can I copy my music on my new computer without deleting it from my old computer. I want my music on both computers.

I purchase a new computer and would like to have my iTunes Library that I have on my laptop on this computer as well as my laptop. I have installed iTunes, but I don't know how to copy the music to my new computer.

Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar

Combing two large libraries (over 1.25 TB total) and music will not show up in library but does in media folder. Help?

I'm a Windows PC user, and I'm currently in the process of combining my 12,000+ song library on my laptop (we'll call it Library A) with a 180,000+ song library (Library B, and yes, one-hundred-and-eighty thousand) onto a new hard drive. I have successfully moved Library A from my laptop onto my new hard drive. The method I have tried so far to move the Library B music into A on the new hard drive is by using the "Add Folder to Library" and selecting only a small portion of the folders in Library B's media folders as not to overload iTunes and to be able to pinpoint problems.
This worked for a few small iterations but the moment I tried doing half of the "A" artists (alphabetically), most of the music doesn't show up in the library. Some of it doesn't show up in the regular library but in the "Recently Added" playlist, and some don't show up in either. I have even tried adding just single files now and those don't show up at all.
THEY ALL SHOW UP IN THE MEDIA FOLDER ON THE NEW HARD DRIVE. That is why I think this might be true but I'm not sure: I've heard that it is because iTunes needs to process all the songs before it shows up in the actual library. Is this true? I have waited over an hour for adding about 6,000 songs; half showed up right in the beginning and half haven't yet. When I added about 4,000 just before this, they all showed up without any problems.
Any help? And is there an easier, error-free way to add this many songs into a new library at once? I'll keep this updated for anyone trying. Thanks in advance!
I have tried signing out and signing in and that does not work either.

hey.
finally somebody with the same problem! i bought a new external drive because i was running out of space and backed up my entire library. then my computer crashed and i wanted to take advantage of a clean drive and not add my whole library back onto my computer. i'd love to be able to access my music folder on the external and have that show up as my library on iTunes when connected...
i followed all the steps as closely as possible and am pretty confident that my advanced preferences in iTunes are correct, but the library does not show these songs from the external drive. have you had any feedback or figured it out on your own?! i hope so, i'm at a deadend.

New and totally lost - I have TRIPLICATED my library!
