Problems importing double sided CDs

does anybody have any problems when it comes to importing CDs that are double sided? by double sided I mean the one side is CD and the other side is DVD. It takes about 3 hours to import a CD like this and often the songs do not even work, and the time for the track is shown as "738:46:28"
does anybody have any advice. I am using a laptop computer with Windows XP if that has anything to do with it.

You have whats called a "Dual Disc". these disc do not always adhear to CD format standards therefore you can end up with issues like this. Apple had an artical about this, but Im having trouble digging it up rightnow.
Might try going to the PC makers site and updating your firmware for your CD ROM and see if this fixes the issue. Also try looking into your PC makers support articals about dual disc

Problems importing double disc CD albums?

I'm trying to import a brand new copy of the Beatles 1967-1970 double disc greatest hits CD, but have run into a rather odd snag.
The first disc imported fine, but when I loaded the second disc into my computer it was read as the first disc. My Itunes account asks me if I want to import the first disc, even though the first disc has already been imported and it's actually the SECOND DISC that's in the CD rom drive, or whatever it's called.
Does that sound confusing?
Anyone else ever have this problem importing a double disc album?
Any explanations and/or possible solutions?
Thanks to all.

It sounds as though the look up in the Gracenote database does not have the correct info.
As a suggestion first import Disc 1 into itunes. Select All the tracks in that album right mouse click and select Get Info. Add Disc1 after the name of the Album and then click OK
Import Second Album and although it is still called Disc1 you will be able to see it in itunes when it has imported
Then you want to go back into Get Info for Disc One and Put in Disc 1 of 2 click OK
Select disc 2 albun choose Get Info put Disc 2 at the end of the album namr and 2 of 2 in the disc box on the right.
Click OK and you should have two albums with the name and Disc 1 or Disc 2 after their names. If you prefer to have it as one album, redit and make the Album name the same

Problems printing double-sided PDFs

Hi,
When I print any PDF document on any printer as double-sided, the second side always prints upside-down. I am printing from Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 professional for Windows XP.
This is annoying and I need to fix this problem.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,
Bent

I've encountered a similar problem, the solution was to uncheck the "Auto rotate and centre" box. What this does is to atomatically print protrait pages in portrait and landscape pages in landscape. Whenyou uncheck the box you will need to set the paper up yourself and for any pages that are on a different orienation you will need to manually rotate or print seperatly. This cured the problem for me.

Smartform Printing Problem for double sided printing

Hi Techies,
I have created a smartform for invoice printing, using double side printing.
The requirement is that in the front page, page number has to be printed and at the back side static text is to be printed. So if my line items exceed to two pages. Than in printing, it is getting priinted as "Page 1 of 4" for the 1st invoice items page and "Page 3 of 4" for the second items page. But the client is asking it to be printed as "Page 1 of 2" & "Page 2 of 2" respectively.
Currently I am using Page&SFSY-PAGE& of &SFSY-FORMPAGES&.
Can anyone guide me how to achieve this requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Vinit.

Hi vinit,
better u declare your own variable . and check with sfsy , the footer window must be final window
data : lv_page type sfsy-page,
lv_tot_page type sfsy-page.
if sfsy-formpages > 2.
lv_tot_page = sfsy-page / 2.
if sfsy-page >2
lv_page = sfsy-page - 1.
else.
lv_page = sfsy-page.
endif.
else .
lv_page = sfsy-page.
lv_tot_page = sfsy-formpages.
endif

HP Officejet Pro 7680 and double-sided printing

I just got this yesterday, but I cannot get this to print double-sided in my Macbook Pro (10.5.1). I checked the feature in the printing preference (system preference), but the double-sided option in the print dialog is always grayed out on all applications.
My previous HP 7310 didn't have any problem printing double-sided.
Also I get the error message related to hpsuppliestool program every time I try to print. I keep pressing ignore to get rid of the dialog but it's annoying.
Any one with similar experiences or solutions?

I'm updating this so that others can benefit from my experience.
I got everything working now-duplexing, scanning, etc.
I found the beta scanning software on the forum, and installed it. It works. I can scan multiple pages using the ADF w/o any problem.
I found the beta printing software for HP OfficeJet Pro 7300 in the forum and installed it according to its instructions. Now duplexing is back.
I found the HPsuppliesTools.app in my Library/printer folder and deleted it. No more error messages.
So, now everything is working 100%!
Thanks for HP folks to post things on this forum!

Double sided printing

Hi everyone,
I've been reading posts by others regarding problems with double sided printing on mac. Since I changed to a mac, I havent been able to print double sided from my epson sx425w printer. This can be quite annoying if you a lot of pages to print. The double sided print option is just disabled so I cant even select it and I dont have the option of "Duplexer" or "Duplex Printing" as suggested in other posts. Besides, I've not been able to use my scanner since upgrading to Mavericks-I know others have had similar problems too.
Anyone come across similar problems?
Thanks

The sx425w is not listed on:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
which means you are totally dependent on the Epson drivers. There are sx420w drivers, which may work for it, or may not. Contact Epson for details.
The sx425w drivers for Print and Scan has not been updated since 2010:
http://esupport.epson-europe.com/FileDetails.aspx?lng=en-IE&data=FCFfEfoyEiHIEHY ej3fxPyCU002F5lk7kA7sM98zHIPBYkwU003D&id=327010

(scan)
And as such may still have elements to try to maintain compatibility with applications requiring old PowerPC code, which won't work with Mac OS X 10.7 or later.
The good news is that they mention the sx420w driver. So that suggests after applying it, and the update from Apple:
Epson Printer Drivers v2.17 for OS X
It may work. Repairing permissions with Disk Utility may help after all is said and done. Otherwise at least for scanning you may be forced to use open source drivers on my FAQs*:
http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#SCANNER
Alternatively for duplex printing, you could print just even pages at one time, and then rotate the pages 180 degrees and flip them upside down and print odd pages to achieve duplex printing. Test first with only a couple pages in the tray until you get the sequence right.
* Links to my macmaps pages may give me compensation.

Double sided printing from an Epson sx425w in mac

Thanks for your reply. I think epson has just released a new scanner driver which I've downloaded and is now working. As for the printer, they said it's not possible to print double sided from this particular model in mac as it does not have the duplex unit. Hence the only solution is to print from windows or buy another printer with a duplex unit. I only found out after posting the question. Here's a link to the scanner software-http://esupport.epson-europe.com/FileDetails.aspx?lng=en-GB&data=FCFfEfoyEiFBBDU 002FXyeTVD1rAPvGEp+uonLZf8Ez0bAEU003D&id=377764

Creating PDFs for Double Sided Printing Problem

I'm not having trouble printing, but with generating a pdf that will print double sided correctly. Currently I have a pdf with many invoices on it. Some are an odd number of pages long and some even. The problem I have is if I don't insert a blank page to the invoices with an odd number of pages (to make it even), then the next invoice's 1st page will be on the back of the previous invoice.
Example:
Invoice #1 has 3 pages
Invoice #2 has 4 pages
Invoice #3 has 2 pages
After double-siding
Invoice #1
Page 1
Front: Page 1 from Invoice 1
Back: Page 2 from Invoice 1
Page 2
Front: Page 3 from Invoice 1
Back: Page 1 from Invoice 2 <------ This is my issue

Hi Brian
this is addressed in 5.6.2, you can force and odd or even page to end the document, if you need the extra blank page to finish on a odd page say XMLP will insert it for you. Check the docs, http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_11/current/acrobat/115xdoug.zip

Problems importing CDs

Hi, I have seen other discussions on problems importing CDs & Gracenote. I have the following problem.
Using iTunes 10.2 on my laptop, CDs will not import when I am connected to the internet at home, but the same CDs will import when I am at work.
At home the import will run very slowly (takes several hours) and eventually report as completed but although the tracks are on the hard drive they are unplayable. At work, on the same laptop, the import completes in a matter of minutes and the tracks are playable.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this and any suggestions on a solution? I don't want to haul my entire CD collection to work to import it (not to mention my employers don't like it).
The other thing to note is my home desktop machine exhibits the same characteristics as the laptop at home (very slow, unplayable once completed).
Cheers.

You'd probably be better off posting this in the iTunes discussions. Check your import encoder settings.

Printing double-sided problem, Leopard, Laserjet P2055dn and Quark XPress

I've also asked about this in Quark's forum.
Printing a Quark file double-sided to the Laserjet using Leopard - first third of the sheet (A4 landscape) is blank on both sides).
This does not happen on Tiger, same file, printer and version of Quark.
Printing from any other (text) app (Acrobat pdf, Word, TextEdit, InDesign) whether on Tiger or Leopard is correct.
Any suggestions, please?

Possible solution for p2055dn and other printers using Leopard
See this reply from deving 280 post re open source drivers
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-printing-and-scanning/HP-Color-Laser-Jet-3600dn -unresponsive-in-Snow-Leopard/td-p/115982/page/2
Tried this open source driver idea and eventually got the P2055dn working properly with Leopard.
NB - Follow the instructions and then use the open-source driver instead of the HP one.
Will report back if any problems arise.

Compatiblity problems: Single-sided vs. Double-sided DIMM

Hello everyone, I just registered.
Short version:
I'm considering purchase of one of the following motherboards: G41M-P26, G41M-P21.
(the forum doesn't allow me to post links, even to MSI site )
My question: will either of them work with my two pieces of 2GB sigle-sided DIMMs?
Detailed version:
I've recently bought a motherboard (not an MSI product, different chipset then G41), but had to return it to seller, due to its memory compatiblity problem (details to follow). Now, I'm looking for another motherboard, so I need information BEFORE next purchase, so that the problem wouldn't happen again to me.
A bit of technical background. As I've just learned, memory modules have implicit parameter, called rank or row. It has nothing to do with timing. It's more like axis, or dimension. It has effect on how memory controller combines multiple memory chips on a DIMM into logical memory unit.
(again, the forum doesn't allow me to post links. I wanted to link to Wikipedia pages about "Memory Geometry" and "Memory Rank")
Usually, single-sided DIMMs are rank 1, and dual-sided DIMMs are rank 2. Therefore, rank can be guessed from how the DIMM looks. The only 100% reliable method, is datasheet from DIMM manufacturer. For example, "module organisation is 2R x 8" means it's rank 2.
Generally, a motherboard should work with any rank, as I guess, it's supposed to give DIMM manufacturer flexiblity to pick chip density. My problem with the returned motherboard seems like I've bumped into some really exceptional case.
Facts about the mobo:
- it had 4 DIMM slots, with max 2GB per slot limit.
- it did not work with single-sided 2GB DIMM.
- it did work with dual-sided 2GB DIMM.
My guess at explanation, is the mobo has some kind of limit of maximum memory per "row" it can address per slot. So that if you want to utilise full slot capacity, both "rows" must be populated. I believe if I had 4 pieces of 1GB single sided DIMMs, it would work.
Further guess at explanation, is that I happened to have bad luck, as I combined relatively old mobo (as it's LG775 obviously) with brand new DIMMs. Manufacturing densities are increasing over time, and in consequence typical DIMM organisation changed too.
Now, back to MSI.
I've looked into "memory test report" documents at MSI site, for each of the two MSI motherboards I mentioned in the beginnng. They contain list of DIMMs that were tested with these motherboards. I used DIMM product numbers to get datasheets from manufacturers, to learn what rank those DIMMs are. If I had found tested single-sided 2GB DIMM on the list, it would have confirmed that my planned purchase is safe.
The result is, I didn't find any 2GB DIMM that would be rank 1. Not a single one. All of 2GB DIMMs on the list are dual-sided! That's totally at odds with the current situation on the market, where single-sided DIMMs are the norm.
To sum it up, "memory test report" documents didn't provide information, that would be either affirmative nor negative for my question. I'm helpless.

Quote from: deadbeef on 27-September-12, 21:22:47
I'm grasping at straws here... It's confusing. I looked into G41 "supported memory" document for motherboard from different manufacturer (also G41 chipset, and 2 DIMM slots). It was actually an update, dated at 2012. There were listed few 4GB double-sided, as well as couple of single sided 2GB.
The Intel G41 Express chipset includes a dual (DDR2/DDR3) memory controller.
DDR2-667, DDR2-800, DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066 are supported.
8GB DDR3-1333 are NOT supported (because there is not enough bandwidth for them).
In "overclocked mode" (1333MHz) you are limited to 4GB RAM
Due to this dual memory controller, the G41 chipset supports up to the total of 4 ranks (4 sides in total) of RAM at max.
1R+1R+1R+1R or 2R+2R.
4 years ago (when G41 has been released), the single-sided 2GB (256x8) memory modules and the 4GB (256x16) memory modules were a "rara avis".
So with the "default" BIOS the chances to use them are close to zero.
You need to pick up a G-41 mainboard, to study the BIOS updates and to see if there is a "memory compatibility" update.
But better, contact MSI.
On the other hand, DDR3-1066 (CAS = 7) is not faster than DDR2-800 (CAS = 5).
So if you want 8GB, it's better to go with 4x2GB DDR2-800.
You can find some awesome & cheap Corsair kits (all of them with 128x8 double-sided IC's)

Double-sided printing problem Acrobat Pro

I am trying to print pdf docs (downloaded from scientfic journals) and do right thing by manual doubled-sided printing i.e. print even pages first in reverse, turn paper over and then print odd pages.
When I first print even pages in reverse it prints second page twice and when I print odd pages it does not print last page.
I have doing this for last 5 years using older versions of Acrobat Professional with no problems.
Windows XP Professional - Have lastest updates on Acrobat.
Thank you.

>I have doing this for last 5 years using older versions of Acrobat Professional with no problems.
and what version are you using now?

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware). Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths. For example:
Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content.
It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad. In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result. Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind. The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

HP Deskjet 6988 double sided printing problem

I'm new to Snow Leopard running 10.6.2. I installed HP update 2.5.2. In the past I usually left the option set to print double sided and the driver figured out what to do with a single page item. Now, with a single page, it prints it, waits for the ink to dry and then prints blank on the other side. Even worse, I asked for 10 copies of a single page and got 10 copies - one on each side of 5 pages. It's not a problem if I know how much paper a document requires but a pain when printing something off the web or an email where I don't know how long it will be.
Should I install the driver from HP?

I just purchased a duplexer for an HP Deskjet 6988.
It works fine on my Macs running 10.5.X but doesn't work on my Macbook Air running 10.6.6. I'm able to select two sided printing from several applications, Apple and non Apple applications on the 10.5.X machines. The Air, it doesn't even recognize that it can print two sided.
I've called Apple, they told me they don't have anything to do with the printer software even after I explained that I can print on older software and not on the latest machine. They directed me to HP. I called HP and they said they don't have drivers for 10.6 for this printer and told me to download the 10.5 software after resetting the printer. None of this worked. Turning the printer off, then deleting the printer software, adding it, restarting the computer ... all failed.
$1800 computer that can't print two sided. Go figure.
If anyone has a solid solution short of replacing a three year old, light used printer, I'm all ears.
Thanks

Canon MF4450 Printer Double-Sided Problem

When I use Windows... I can print "double-sided" without any problems..
Somehow, when I use Mac, the "double-sided" box is in grey color and i cannot chick on it...
Is there anyway to print double-sided on Mac?
I am using MacBook Pro 15 inch 2011 and the software of the printer is the latest version!
HELP me Please

When your select print, click the button that says "Show Details" in the print window that opens.
in the dropdown menu that will have appeared in the window, click it and select "Layout". I am pretty sure that is where the two-sided setting is at.
I am not sure why that two sided button is greyed out. But the place I directed you too will let you select the 2 sided and the other setting associated with it.
