No "skip duplicates" after 10.4.3?

I updated to Mac OS X 10.4.3 yesterday, and today, while I'm on vacation, iPhoto 5.0.4 re-imports ALL the pictures on my compact flash card each time I insert it into my card reader. Previously, I would get a dialog asking me if I wanted to import or skip duplicates. This dialog no longer appears. It's happened twice today and it's kind of annoying when you have 700+ pictures on your 1GB card. The card appears to mount and works otherwise. I just don't want to have to keep deleting 700MB of pictures each time I import some more. Has anyone else seen this or knows a work around? I know how to use the Image Capture to select only the pictures I want, but you STILL have to delete them from the destination folder after dragging them into iPhoto if you do that...

I don't think that this has to do with updating to 10.4.3 -- because my daughter's iMac G5 is on 10.4.2 (mainly because she is constantly using it and won't let me near it long enough to update things of late ... so far I need to update her iTunes from 5 to 6, do the 10.4.2 => 10.4.3 update, and update Quicktime -- I manage to sneak in backups at least while she is in the shower) and I noticed that it seems to import duplicates without asking if that is ok or not, so they have to be manually deleted. Meanwhile, on our older iMac 500MHz G3 running iPhoto 4.0.3 asks every time if I want to import duplicates and doesn't import them if I say no ...
Old Toad's scheme of inputing new photos seems to make sense and it gets around the "duplicate import" bug that seems to affect some but not all users of iPhoto.

All the time I plug my iPod Shuffle to my iTunes it says it needs to be restore and after I restored it and add music it only skips song after song without playing one completely. What should I do?

Ipod skipping songs after a few seconds

I have been having problems with playing certain songs on my new 80GB ipod classic (all ripped from CDs, not purchased or downloaded).
The songs will skip to the next song after anything from right at the beginning of the song to 30 seconds in. If I go back, I can fast forward past the point it skips, and it will play to the end.
I have already tried deleting the songs from my library and re-importing, restoring my ipod with the latest software and checking that the stop time on the song is correct. Does anyone have any other suggestions for me?
Thanks

I have a similar issue, the only difference being that when I fast forward it will not continue to play, only again, skip to the next song.
After some research I have found that the only thing that seems to work for me is to convert my files to MP3 using the "convert to MP3" function found in iTunes. All my songs are already in MP3, but the reason this works is due to the encoding. If the encoding is unknown, it seems more often than not my iPod will skip those tracks. When you convert it to mp3 using iTunes it changes the encoding to some kind of iTunes encoding.
This makes me VERY angry. There is no way I have found to sort the items by their encoding as to convert only the problematic ones. Also, when you convert it changes the bit rate to read what ever your rip settigs are. This ***** because I plan on reripping some of my CDs that I ripped years ago at a low bit rate. If I convert to MP3 I cannot search my library to see which ones were ripped at the lower rate.
It also creates a duplicate of the audio file, which means I will not have enough space on my hard drive to compensate for over 12000 duplicated at a higher or equivilant bit rate.

Audio skipping distortions after upgrading to iTunes 7.5

Since I downloaded iTunes 7.5 all of my audio on my laptop has random distortions in it (sounds exactly like a prcessor glitch but isnt caused by that). It isn't corrected when I play media through other programs leading me to think that it wasnt iTunes at first. But after many hours of trying to see what else it could be (and that fact that this happened just after I had upgraded to itunes 7.5) I'm now sure that it must be the new iTunes.I found that if i converted my music to ACC through iTunes then it played correctly but this doesnt solve it messing up the sound on my DVD or windows media player and I can't convert any songs purchased through the music store.
(Have checked it's not my soundcard or CPU usage that's the problem)
Any suggestions?

I had the same horrible skipping problem. Here's what I did to correct it. You need to get itunes ver 6.0.5. My problem started when I upgraded to ver 7 and every version thereafter. First, backup your iTunes library of purchased songs. Get rid of all traces of iTunes ver 7 installation off your hard drive. Install iTunes ver 6.0.5 - then import your iTunes music (I found I had to also delete the two small library files that were created by the later versions of iTunes to be able to import and create the library for ver 6.0.5). After creating the library, all my purchased iTunes songs then appeared in iTunes. The first time I clicked on a song to play it a pop-up window appeared asking to authorize the song on this machine(my PC). I used the same ID and password that I always had used to purchase the iTunes originally. Then everything was great again. It took me a long time to figure out that an earlier version (pre ver 7) was the fix. By the way, prior to doing all the above, I had just re-installed WinXP on a blank hard drive. Hope this works for you - if it does don't ever click yes when the pop-up shows up in iTunes saying that a newer version is available.

How do I avoid duplicates after signing back in to my current iCloud account on my iPad?

I had to delete my newer iCloud account and sign in to the App store with my old AppleID to download missing apps on my first generation iPad. I did not delete Contacts or Calendar entries when I deleted the newer account so the data is still on my iPad. After I updated the apps I deleted the old account and signed on again with my newer account. I did not allow any data to merge when I signed in with either account. My question is: if I turn on Contacts and Calendar will the data duplicate? If so how can I avoid that happening? (I hope I explained this clearly enough)

Having just changed my Apple ID to separate myself from my son who was sharing my ID I can tell you how to handle this in IOS7. I went to the Apple web site and established my new ID.
I followed the advice on this support page to change my Apple ID Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
I then followed the advice on this page to update the ID on my device Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
IMPORTANT!!!! When you delete your iCloud for your old Apple ID off your phone you will lose all your documents that are in the cloud but not your contacts that are out in the cloud. Also, before following the directions on the"Sign in with a Different Account" page to delete the iCloud Apple ID first turn off iCloud sync on each item individually. When you turn off the sync it will ask you if you want to keep the data on your phone. Yes you do want this. After turning off sync individually Delete the iCloud account for the old Apple ID. Then when you then sign into iCloud with your new Apple ID select the Merge option and it will upload all your contacts and data to the iCloud account for your new Apple ID.
If you simply Delete your iCloud account it will delete all your contacts off your phone. If you delete iCloud without first turning sync off Contacts and your contacts are then deleted off your phone, don't worry. Simply log back into iCloud with your old account and your contacts will be restored. Then you can turn off the sync on all items, Delete the old account from iCloud, sign in with the new apple Id, select Merge iPhone data. So it puts your contacts and data from your phone into your new iCloud account.

Skipping track after less than 1 second

I have downloaded iOS7, and I tried to delete some track from iTunes that I never listen to. Somehow, several of the songs on my iPhone have now started to skip onto the next track after less than a second of playing. I can still play the songs from iTunes on my PC, so I seem to have done something with the phone and I don't know what! I changed the settings from 'Phone' to 'Library' in the 'shared' music menu - I think that's what caused the problem, as now it seems fine having just changed it back. It's so frustrating that you can't get rid of music you don't want on your phone! There must be a way of doing it without shelling out for Match.

Do you have a circle with a red square next to some of your songs in your music app on your phone?

5G iPod skipping songs after iPod Update 1.1

After I updated my 5G 60 Gig video iPod to Update 1.1, my iPod started to skip certain songs. I have tried erasing the songs, importing them again from the CD, and reloading them back to the iPod and the iPod still won't play those SPECIFIC songs! Never had this problem before the update.
Btw, if I restore my iPod will I have to reload all the songs/files again?
Thank you for your help!

Ok... This is so strange. If I import those skipped/unplayable songs from the CDs again using a different encoder (MP3 instead of AAC), the resulting songs would play fine on the iPod. Again, never had this problem before Update 1.1.

Duplicates after import

Hi,
New to iphoto. I did an import from cd of my images, and they all showed up in last import. I created a new folder called flowers, and copied about 500 pics from the 'last import' into my flowers folder.
Now I did a spotlight search to see where the images were stored.
Surprisingly I saw:
/users/Craig/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2008/Feb 16,2008/*.jpg
/users/Craig/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Data/2008/Feb 16,2008/*.jpg
It appears (doesn't seem to be symbolic links) that the images are duplicated, no editing done after import on these pics. In the Data directory , all pictures have rw-r--r--@ (note the @ sign afterwards), while in the Originals , some of the images have the @ sign but most of them don't.
I'm unclear why this is happening , what the @ sign means. I know not to modify the iPhoto database, but I certainly don't want duplicates of every photo I put in.
Appreciate any feedback and comments on this.
Thank you.
Craig

Craig:
I use PhotoPresenter for some of my slideshows. It has over 20 animated themes that you can use. Here are just two: Apple TV Intro - Reflection. It integrates with iPhoto so you can make slideshows of albums or events. You can run it in demo mode to see if it fits your needs.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Find suspected duplicates after import

I have approximately 11,000 photos to organize. I created a catalog name and chose to skip suspected duplicates. Approximately 8,000 photos were imported. This is reasonable since I consolidated photos from current drives and backups of two computers.
How do I find the suspected duplicates? I want to review the duplicates and delete all duplicates to free disk space. How do I which photos were not imported?
Thanks, in advance, for any assistance.
Ken

Hi Ken!
Lightroom does a fairly decent job finding duplicates during an import but does not make it as easy once the images are in the catalog. Take a look at http://www.lightroom-plugins.com/DupesIndex.php. You can try it for free and see if it will help you out.

TS4118 is there an alternative to manually remove ical duplicates after sync with icloud

There is a discussion on this issue:
TS4118: If you see duplicate calendars or events after setting up iCloud Calendar.
However, the suggestion there is, if the duplicates are also in your icloud, to delete the duplicates MANUALLY.
I have been using ical or its predecessor since 1999. Removing all the duplicates between 1999 and 2014 manually is not why I have a computer.
I noticed the problem after having upgraded from 10.7.5 to 10.9.2. Before 10.9, I did the syncing of my mac with iphone and ipad over the cable and itune. this worked fine.
Since after upgrading to 10.9 you have to do it over icloud, this is what I did.
Is there a way around a manual deletion?

Hello nomenest,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with duplicate calendar events after setting up iCloud. I would be concerned about this too.
It sounds like you have checked iCloud.com and see the duplicates there. If you are seeing the duplicates on iCloud.com, I recommend contacting iCloud Support for assistance:
Symptoms
After you set up iCloud Calendar, you might see duplicate calendars or calendar events on your iOS device, Mac, or PC.
Resolution
Find out if calendars or events are also duplicated on iCloud.com
First, check Calendar on iCloud.com to see if calendars or events are also duplicated there. If they are, then contact iCloud Support for help.

Option to import duplicates after import?

When LR says it has not imported files because they already exist in the catalog, it would be nice to have a button that says "import anyway."
On a related note, that window only shows a list of file names, which is not very user friendly. Nor does it show both locations.

Yes, understood. That is a great option most of the time, but sometimes you don't know what the duplicate situation it until after LR has chewed through the import. So it would be nice, gracious even, if LR presented the option when it notifies you of the offending duplicates.

Duplicates after migrating to new imac

I recently bought a new imac. Migrating from my old Power PC G5 to new imac went smoothly apart from itunes.
On my old imac i stored all my music on an external hard drive. I thought that after migrating all I would need to do would be to plug this external hard drive into my new imac and all would be fine. Sadly not - every track had the small exclamation mark on it. Believing this was because it could not find any of the music I went File>Open Library and selected everything in my external drives music folder. Now instead of replacing all those files with exclamation marks next to them I have duplicates of everything - and annoyingly the music files I want to keep, the ones with the ratings and play counts, are the ones with the exclamation marks (ie the ones that cannot be found).
Is there a solution to this or do I have to manually go through my entire library deleting the duplicate and then finding each individual track. I have 95GB of music so that may take a while!
Any help would be wonderful.

Duplicate after importing iTunes from old to new system

Justy upraded to a MacBookPro and moved my iTunes library (media + playlist) from old windows notebook. After importing I have duplicates songs and playlist. I followed the instructions provided on this forum for exporting/importing only the media files and playlist. My library is very large and removing individual songs/playlist would be time comsuming. Anotyher twisty is some songs are he same but with a different artist. Any suggestions. Koyangie

If you are a resident of the U.S. and have iTunes 10.3 or later installed on the new computer, you can re download your iTunes purchases for free without having to import.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Make sure and use the same Apple ID as on the prior computer.
On the new computer, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer before trying re download your purchases.

Mouse skipping wildly after waking from sleep

Not sure if I've fixed this already yet or not but, sometimes after waking from sleep my wireless mighty mouse has a bad delay (skips around a bit too). I'm using Steer Mouse (which seemed to preform normally) but have uninstalled it just to see if it was the problem. So far, so good: no mouse problem after sleep, though I've only tried it a few times.
Anyone having this problem who doesn't have Steer Mouse installed?

same prob but with the trackpad. I don't think it is a prob with your particular mouse. There is a few other topics covering this.
Common theme... only a reboot will fix.
