Notes duplicate and unable to delete duplication

I have made notes and there is a duplication of each note up to 10 times. I am unable to delete the excess notes. Help on this issue is not available. Anyone have suggestions?

Back up all data before proceeding.
Check the Internet Accounts or Mail, Contacts & Calendar preference pane to make sure you're not synchronizing Notes in more than one account.
If you're not, disable Notes synchronization temporarily.
Quit Notes, if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
Copy the whole line of text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop.
The folder you're moving is named "com.apple.Notes" It is not the subfolder named "Data" or anything else.
Re-enable Notes synchronization.
Relaunch Notes and test. If it works now, delete the folder you moved. Otherwise, quit again, and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place.
Caution: If you delete some or all of the contents of the selected folder, but leave the folder itself in place, the application may not launch. Deleting the folder will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

Mail not responding and unable to delete messages moved to trash

*I have been unable to delete any messages from my trash. I get a message: an error occurred while moving messages to mailbox "trash on my mac". Then I get a spinning disc and have to wait so I can force quite mail. I can not use the help while in mail as nothing will respond. When I finally get the force quite to work and I long back on all the messages that I tried to move to trash and delete are still there.*
*Any help anyone can share would be most helpful. This has been happening all day today whenever I log on to Mail.*
*Thank you for your time.*

Actually it will happen again, you can wait for it. It usually takes a few months and the entire cycle starts again. Apple knows perfectly well that mail is not working as it should for many years, especially in combination with Mobile Me synchronization. Don't be mistaken in the end nothing will help not vacuum your mailbox except removing your plist file and rebuilding it. With the Mobile Me that is not even able to alphabetically order your mail accounts it would be fun when you have numerous email accounts. Good luck. If I had the possibility to switch to another emailer I would have done so many years ago. However I am stuck with DMI from Marketcircle.

iPhone 3G plugged into PC(Windows 7) 'USB is Not Recognized' and unable to restore; stuck on 'Connect to iTunes'
I was in the process of putting another firmware for my iPhone(an .ipsw via. itunes) and the house had a power cut. The computer was in the middle of restoring the iPhone but never finished. The apple logo came on and then came onto the 'connect to itunes' screen. My sim card was in but there is no option to slide for emergency. When I Plug it into my computer, a message pops up saying that the 'USB Device Not Recognized', I've tried to plugging my iPhone into my laptop and other Computers but the same message occurs (all windows 7). Other articles say that the error is with the iPhone, I need help!! Can anybody offer some advice on what to do?

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

Contact sync seems corrupted. How to recover? iCloud, laptop, iphone work fine. iPad shows some entries in duplicate or near duplicate, and when you delete one, both get deleted. iMac no longer syncs at all though set to sync.

iPad seems buggy, iMac simply not connected to syncing contacts (and focusing on it, not on Safari bookmarks either)
iPad example:
Two entries exist for a contact on iPad, identical or differing slightly (e.g. a space being added before a word or identical in one but not the other). I delete one of the entries and both entries disappear from ipad, iphone, icloud. Entry persists on iMac.
iMac:
iCal syncs. Mail syncs. Calendar doesn't. Bookmarks aren't syncing either: A recent add to Safari bookmarks that has synced elsewhere has not synced on iMac.
On the iMac, when I go to iCloud in network settings all boxes are checked except Photo Stream, Back to My Mac, and Find My Mac. Account details show my email address, my name and Description "iCloud". The amount of GB available in iCloud storage, which matches what I see on my iPhone.
iMac: OSX 10.8.5, 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Thanks for the suggestion, Barney-15E. FYI I am not running both iCal and Calendar. Just Calendar. Me bad for using the old name and new name interchangeably.
Tackling the iMac problem: In iCloud network preferences, I unchecked Safari then soon after rechecked it, and your suggestion appears to have worked: a bookmark recently added on one of the other devices appeared in the iMac Safari bookmarks. So far so good.
Did the same thing with contacts. The iMac took a couple of hours to restore the sync setting, but it finally completed the task. The computer was laboring so I rebooted. Then I opened the contacts application and saw the spinning grey bars next to the "iCloud" heading above my list of contact groups. Some time later the spinning lines were replaced by an exclamation point. I clicked on it and got the message that the operation could not be completed because of a "CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1..". Subsequently, after much spinning of the line wheel, I have gotten either the exclamation point with the CoreDAV message or a lightning bolt icon. Whether exclamation point or lightning bolt, clicking on it provokes a long period of the spinning line wheel. And looking at some telltale contact discrepancies between the iMac and the other machines, nothing seems to have changed in terms of merging the discrepancies.
Searching for the error message in the support community, I see this has happened to others, and they have had some success in following a list of steps starting with archiving the contacts, which I have done. Don't think I fully follow the other steps, nor am I sure they apply to my situation.

HT204053 my icloud id is not registered and having trouble deleting it from my ipad to replace with my original id. how can i delete my icloud if the system doesnt reconize it.

trouble deleting icloud account from IPad. The ID is not reconized and trouble resetting it.

Try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Itunes not working and unable to re-install

Please help. I have owned my Nano for three days and have lost access to itunes. Story so far Day 1 set up disk installed and itunes working great. Upgraded software online and problems started and unable to open itunes.
Action taken:
1.Tried to re-install original software from disk but get error itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing.
2. QuickTime also failed to initiate with error 2095 message make sure QTime properly installed.
3. Removed both itunes and Qtime through control panel and downloaded and used Windows installer clean up to confirm removal (files seemed to remain on computer?)
4. Installed stand alone Qtime which seems ok
5. Downloaded stand alone itunes but could not run error message: errors encountered whilst performing the operation.
6. As last resort tried to re-install from disk but get same message: itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing.
I am at a loss. I am not computer literate and would really appreciate help. Please note I also disabled virus software whist trying to install.

Image in trash is "locked" and unable to delete...help?!

Hi all.
Relatively new to the Mac world. My wife shut down our iMac 17"C2D the other day and when restarted, a couple of photos showed up in the trash inside a folder called "restore" with a new name. Those same photos are still in iphoto (with their original name), but when I empty the trash a warning comes up that says "unable to delete these files, files are locked".
Anyone know what that is and how I can delete them?
Thanx much
iMAC 17" Core 2 duo/2.16 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Click on the file, Get Info (from the File menu or Command-I) and look a bit down in the General category for the "Locked" item. If the box is checked, just uncheck it.
If you have a bunch of files that all say that they're locked, or the Locked checkbox isn't checked, give Trash It! (freeware) a try.
Hope this helps.

Using Iphoto on my iMac and unable to delete photos. Try all the different ways and they don't work. Any suggestions?

I have loaded pictures on my IMac from disc from camera. Now am trying to delete some of the pictures from my computer and none of the delete techniques work. Can't figure what else to do. My Iphoto seems a little unstable and I wonder if there is something wrong with the soft ware. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim G.

Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library:
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurances of that photo in the library.

In the window called Library, under downloads (such as a word doc), there are numerous downloads that are not completed, and cannot be deleted (option grayed)..

It seems Firefox has downloaded a document or a picture to the desktop. On the top bar, there is an icon - small downward pointing arrow over a bar. When I click on that it brings up a history of my downloads (docs, pics, pdfs, etc.....NOT software downloads). There appears to be many previous downloads in this window, they appear to be done, but NOT completed and are just hanging there in never never land. By clicking on the bottom item (3 other items), it opens a window called Library. The second options to the left is downloads. The instructions tell you to click on the "Clear Downloads" on the upper bar (Next to Organize) and this will clear out all the downloads. This Clear Downloads is, however, grayed-out. There seems to be no other ways to clear this list. Any help would be appreciated....
Thanks

Duplicate contacts, unable to delete duplicate contacts and other contacts deleted

Hi, I have a bb curve 8330, I installed the destop software for mac and it seemed to work except that now all of my contacts are gone except for one that has been duplicated 5 times. Now when I try to sync again it fails, and I'm not able to delete the duplicate contacts or edit them. Is there anyway to get rid of these duplicate contacts? I can manually enter my contacts again but I would really like to be able to delete these duplicates.
I have a Mac dual G5 running osx 10.5.8.1.
Device OS release - 4.5.0.169
Device Type/Model - Blackberry 8330
Did you have a leaked version installed previously? No
What other syncing software did you install? None

I suspect there was an issue with the Address Book database on the BlackBerry and the wipe of the device may have corrected it for you.
Thanks for following up.

Time Machine Duplicates and How to Delete a Single Copy of Backed Up File ?

Here is the puzzle pieces , then the questions I'm asking
Example - my iPhoto Library file (its 36 gigs and yes I do create separate libraries)
If you add a single photo - Time Machine rightly sees a changed file and backs it up
Now I have Multiple Back ups of this large file
I want to delete only single back-up of this iPhoto file, NOT all instances of it
Here is the dilemma that I am having
according to a previous post
How to delete a Time Machine-backed up file on an external HD
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8799363&#8799363
you have to
1 - Have a finder window open
2 - launch Time Machine
3 - find the file you want to delete in the finder window
4 - go to the Gear Icon in the finder window
5 - Pull down menu for
6 - drum roll please! 'delete all backups of <filename>
Well I DO NOT WANT TO DELETE ALL BACKUPS!!!!!!
I want to keep some of the back ups of that iPhoto file - not all of them
I want to manage my files individually, and delete those and only those necessary
I can only hope there is a simple and easy solution,
If someone could just point me in that direction I would greatly appreciate it
Cheers , Don

You'll find that rather difficult -- TM was specifically designed to manage space and backups automatically, as most users won't, or don't have the patience.
If it's only your photos you want to do this way, you might consider excluding them from TM and using a different app that will do traditional archive backups. CarbonCopyCloner and SuperDuper, for example, are mostly used to make bootable "clones" of your whole system (I use CCC for that in addition to TM). But both of them (and others) can also be used to back up only specific files/folders, and, optionally, retain archive copies of changed items. Just how that works, I can't tell you, but for details see their documentation (Google or VersionTracker).
CCC is donationware, SD has a free version, but I think you'd need the paid one, about $30.
Thanks for your response, and I have a question, when you say be careful of deleting thru the finder
because TM will get cranky - Do you mean TM gets 'confused' where is the location of its back-ups
when TM scans backward in TIme?
No, it's apparently got to do with the way it manages it's actual files vs. hard links (sort of like aliases), and picking one hourly backup to be the daily, then one daily to be a weekly. It seems to require some shuffling around. I don't know the details (not publicly available, I think).
Eventually, I don't care of TM gets cranky as long as I can access my data and still reach my original goal
You will care when it gets so cranky it stops backing-up, or you can't find what you want to restore.
I want to have control of my files, they are huge in size and number and eventually
Even Terabit drives are filling up on me.
Then as mentioned, you may need different strategies, and perhaps different apps, for different types of data. Such complex strategies are actually quite common in medium to large data centers, but again, TM was designed mostly for not-so-savvy home users.

Missing files on external hard drive and unable to delete items in trash

When my external hard drive is connected I am unable to eject it because it says it is in use. I have tried shutting every program, but the message still occurs. I have also noticed that I can't empty my trash can when the external hard drive is connected, and that it appears empty when it is ejected. There are also missing folders on the drive. I am able to see the timemachine backup folder, but I can't open it properly to access the data.

With the External HD connected to the AEBS, I went to File -> New -> Folder and named the folder. I had done this a few times, as well as created a few new ones using Picasa and cutting/pasting them into the appropriate folder. I did that a few times. Then one more time I went to File -> New -> Folder on the EHD (not Picasa), named it and hit enter. I got a message saying can't do it because folder doesn't exist. Properties showed correct amount of GB used/remaining. so I know it's there. Latrer I connected directly to PC and folders were there and could be manipulated. I tried reconnecting EHD to USB hub in AEBS and it won't show up as a drive under Computer, but under Network -> <AEBS name> -> drive name.

Are my MP3 File Duplicate and can I delete the duplicates

I have just bought an iPOd and started to use iTunes. I went to FILE and ADD FOLDER which then copied all my MP3's into the My Music/iTunes Folder which iTunes created. Now the question is are these files copied accross to the new iTunes location and if so can I delete them from the original location to save disk space etc (there is over 30GB of MP3's).
Also, as the iTunes folder has been craeted on my Prmary Drive (C:\My Documents\My Music.....) is it possible to move all these fules to me second hard drive which is where I store my music, video's etc and ifd so how do I tell iTunes and iPod that is where they are and that is where the synchronisation needs to be.
Sorry if these are simple questions but I am new to this and the Help file in my iTunes does not work hence I am stubbling around in the dark so to speak.
Intel Windows XP Pro It's getting old now

"Now the question is are these files copied accross to the new iTunes location and if so can I delete them from the original location to save disk space etc"
If you had "Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" checked in Edit>Preferences>Advanced>General when you created your iTunes library then you can delete the originals from the folder you added them from.
"as the iTunes folder has been craeted on my Prmary Drive (C:\My Documents\My Music.....) is it possible to move all these fules to me second hard drive which is where I store my music, video's etc and ifd so how do I tell iTunes and iPod that is where they are and that is where the synchronisation needs to be."
Yes it is, see this guide: Moving your iTunes Music Folder

Unable to log into iCloud because old email pops up requesting password. Password not working and unable to receive reset

I changed the main email on my Appleid a few months back. Everything worked fine until uppgrading to iOS7 on my phone. I am now unable to log into iCloud because the old email pops up and requesting password which is not working. I cannot rest the password because my old email is unvalid as I have changed network provider. The id works fine on Appstore and iTunes so its only iCloud that making trouble.
Any suggestions to remedy this problem?

I'm also experiencing the same issue.
I've had to reset my password 3 times in the last 3 days.
At first, I couldn't get my email. I sweated it out for 12 hours, reset my password and I was good to go again. 48 hours later, I ran into the same issue. Only problem is, not only do I get the 'Incorrect username or password' on my device, but my iCloud.com login no longer works. so now I can't read my messages on the web OR on my device/computer.
I have went to appleid.apple.com and reset my password there: no luck.
I have reset the settings on my device: no luck.
I have Erase and Installed iOS 6.1.2: no luck.
I have restored my device back to factory settings: no luck.
I have performed a DFU restore: no luck.
This is my main account for, well everything.
