No longer have window that asks to import duplicates

I no longer have the window that opens when I import that asks whether or not I want to import duplicates or only the new photos. How do I get that window back? I now have to trash all duplicates.

Hi Mulhollon,
that info is stored in the pref file.
Drag the iPhoto pref file to the desktop and relaunch iPhoto and see if you get the duplicate dialog box back.

  • How do I add music from a music cd on a MacBook Pro?  Up until this morning I got a window that asked me if I wanted to record or play the cd I just inserted.  Now that window no longer appears.  Any suggestions on how to rectify this?

    How do I record music from a music cd to my MacBook Pro?  Up until this morning I would get a pop up window that asked if I wanted to play or record the disc I just put in.  That screen no longer appears - a disk starts to play.  I can stop the auto play but how do I add the music to my existing music collection?
    Thanks

    Do you mean "how do you rip a CD to iTunes?" If so, just insert the CD into the optical drive of the MBP, launch iTunes, edit the ID3 tags to show what you want, then click the "import" button in the lower right corner of the window.

  • I'm trying to download the latest version of firefox. I get a pop up window that asks me what to open it with. I've tried adobe reader 9, acrobate reader 5, and real player. None work

    OK, I'll take you through what happens. When I click download firefox 4 I get a pop up window that asks "what should Firefox do with this file?"
    Below I have two choices:
    _Open with (choose)
    _Save File
    So I go to choose and pick an application.
    So I choose Acrobate Reader 5.0. Acrobate gives me a popup that says "Acrobat could not open firefox 4.0-4.dmg because it is either not a supported file type or because the fire has been corrupted....
    So I try download again (I should point out that I am currently running Firefox 3.6.16) The popup that asks me to choose a file to open firefox 4.0.dmg pops up again.
    So I choose Adobe Reader 9. Nothing happens. So I cancel.
    So what application should I go to to open Firefox 4.0.dmg

  • Window that asks if I want to leave page

    Quite frequently while surfing on the web and I go to leave the page I'm on I get this pesky little window that asks me if I'm sure I want to leave this page. How can I keep this thing from popping up because in most cases I have to click on this thine 50 times before I'm able to leave the page. It's very, very annoying.

    You can try a bookmarklet like this:
    <pre><nowiki>javascript:void(document.onbeforeunload=null);void(document.onunload=null);void(window.onbeforeunload=null);void(window.onunload=null);</nowiki></pre>
    JavaScript code can't be run from the location bar anymore, so you need to create a bookmark with the code pasted in the location field.

  • Hi. Downloads has changed; I cannot open or download attachments. I don't get the window that asked "Open" or "Save" either.

    When I receive an attached document (Word or OpenOffice), I click on it. I get a Norton Antivirus window that says it's clear and I click on the yellow Download button. Then nothing happens. 1. I don't get the windows that asked Open? or Save?. 2. The documents are not in the Download folder. 3. I reset the downloads to my Documents folder - nothing appears there either. 4. I search my iMac with the file names, and no results show up.

    Hi carrieinholland-
    I would recommend reading this Support article on troubleshooting Opening/Download issues:
    [[Managing file types]]
    Hope that helps.

  • Can you bypass the window that asks if you want to open or save attachments? I always open them the same way.

    Deleted it, restarted it. tried it again. no change. repeated the whole cycle. no change. thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling, but that won't reallyk change the settings.

  • I no longer have iTunes that is synced to my iPhone and now I need to update my iPhone with iTunes. Is there a way I can do this without losing all my data?

    I no longer have the iTunes that is synced to my iPhone and now I need to update my iPhone with iTunes. Is there a way I can do this without losing all my data? Can I access my iTunes that is on my stolen laptop, so that I don't lose my info and photos etc? Please help!

    Hi Michela27,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you have content on your iPhone that isn't on your computer, the best thing is to use the advice in this article to transfer it to your new computer before setting up sync:
    iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod

  • IPhoto 6 doesn't ask about importing duplicates anymore...

    Up until yesterday, iPhoto would ask if I wanted to import duplicate photos every time I hooked up the camera and it detected pictures that were already imported. Today, that doesn't happen. Clicking the "Import" button imports everything on the camera, even if it's been imported once or twice already. I can't find a preference to change the import behavior back to asking whether or not I want duplicates imported.
    Any ideas?

    I thought about working around this by using the Finder to copy the photos directly into the iPhoto database, but I'm not sure whether iPhoto would recognize them.
    It won't. *It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss*
    v6 can be quite temperamental in dealing with importing duplicates. For best results, copy the files to a folder on the desktop and then try importing.
    If you do end up with duplicates, Duplicate Annihilator can help.
    Regards
    TD

  • I am trying to download Firefox 4 but I get a window that asks me what Firefox should do with this file. I have no idea which program Firefox should use to download the file!! Help!

    What should the default program be for downloading this type of file? How can I get Firefox to download these without asking me which program to use?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

  • Is the pop up window that asks if you want your Mac cleaned up really from Apple?

    We have been receiving a lot of pop up windows whenever using our new Mac and it always asks if we want to clean up our Mac and then the box says "Continue".  I am very suspecious of this and cannot find out if it is for real and don't want to select it to see what happens.  Can anyone help give info on this?  From looking at other discussions, apparently others are also receiving this.  Thank you, Noel

    Of course not, and it probably comes from an application called MacKeeper, which is useless. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691
    OS X has got its own maintenance scripts to keep your computer work correctly, so there's no need for cleaning apps.

  • I would like to access an old Time machine back up from a Core 2 Duo Macbook, but no longer have a Mac. Can I access the backup from a cheaper old ibook, or would I need a Macbook. Is the OS important?

    right click on the folder that shows with the red negative sign, and select to "get info".  In the long skinny window that appears, look in the "sharing and permissions" section.  In the "name" column, you should see your current user name.  Ensure the "privilege" is set to Read and Write.  If your user name is not in the name column, click the + sign, and add it, ensuring the privileges are set to Read and Write
