Self-Duplicating and Self-deleting tracks.

So, I checked around, but I can't find my issue anywhere. The topics must either be in plain sight or not around...
Anyway, what my issue with iTunes is that the songs in my library are making copies of themselves and after a while the originals stop working and can't be found on my computer. Then the copies do the same. Sometimes the songs just skip straight to deleting themselves. I have no idea how to fix this issue and it is really bothing me as some of the songs I have purchased online and I don't think there should be a need for me to hunt the songs down again just because iTunes felt the need to get rid of them in the first place...
iTunes used to work just fine up until a few updates ago. Now I have this problem. Additionally, iTunes starts to open automatically on start-up. I just removed it from the start-up list (again). So, here's hoping that works.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Edit: Well, now that I posted this, I am seeing topics about the self-deletion, but not the self-duplicating.....

Old notes self duplicating and cant be deleted

i had a few blank notes and "test" notes in mail before i upgraded to iphone 3.0 which now links my notes between mail and the phone.
i deleted these blank and test notes in mail, but they keep coming back... and what's worse, ever time they're back and have about 5 or copies of each!
every couple day's they're back.
any ideas about this bug?
thanks
max

it seems every time i sync is when the bombardment of blank notes and a few old test notes happens.
(these notes are not on my iphone)

HT2513 iCal is duplicating and not deleting: What should I do?

I performed the softward update for iCal and terrible things have happened.
Under all-day events, as soon as I open an event and attempt to add notes, the event (without the accompanying notes) is duplicated. But it will not allow me to delete the duplicated event, and when I tried to delete all future events (this is a daily occurence), it will not allow that, either. So now I have a very confused calendar indeed that is verging on the unusable.
What can I do?
Many thanks in advance --

Yes, you need to purchase a new charger if the old one is not working. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

Bookmarks are either duplicated ort moved to the unsorted bookmarks folder; some are deleted and older deleted ones return.

I posted before how many bookmarks are deleted, duplicated, etc. ut what I am seeing now is that many are moved to Unsorted Bookmarks, Some are still being deleted, duplicated and ones deleted months ago return (happening less now). How do I prevent Firefox from moving bookmarks to that folder without my "permission and how do I delete automated backups as of the bookmarks (which I believe may be part of the problem). Note this happens after every PC cold start, has also happened while I was looking at it and all of the usual suggestion DO NOT WORK: deleting the "places" file, running that add on that supposed to fix it, etc.: ou can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

AppleScript to determine album ratings from song ratings and no. of tracks?

Hi
I am wondering if it would be possible to write an AppleScript to determine the album ratings for my albums in iTunes in the following way:
All of my music collection comes from CDs I have ripped. I rip the whole album and then delete tracks I don't like. The number of tracks in the original album is preserved in the Track # field, e.g. Track 1 of 10, etc. All multi disc albums have been given the same name, i.e. they are recognised as the same album with Disc Number preserved, i.e. Disc #1 of 2, etc.
The Album Rating would then be the sum of the rating of every song that is still in my iTunes Music Library divided by the total number of tracks in the original album (with multi disc albums counted as one album).
So, for example, if I had an one disc album which originally had 10 tracks, that I only kept two songs from, and one of these tracks had a rating of 5 and the other 3, the album rating would be as follows:
5+3/10 = 0.8
Ideally this value would then be written to the Album Rating tag in iTunes. I think the best iTunes can do is display half-star ratings, but I wonder if it will still sort the Albums by Album Rating based on the actual value of the above calculation, i.e. an album with Rating 4.52 would be sorted higher than an album with rating 4.48, but both would show in iTunes as having 4 and a half stars?
The next best option would be for the script to generate a text file of the Album Ratings sorted by rating with the highest first (in fact it would be good to have this in addition to the values being written to the Album Rating tags)
The difference between this script and the built in method used in iTunes is that iTunes doesn't account for deleted tracks, so in the above example the Album would be rated 4, even though 8 tracks had been deleted.
I hope this is clear and would be grateful for any help in getting this script together.
Thanks,
Nick.

Here's an improved version of the script that should fulfill your needs (the modifications are in blue). The script now sorts the Album Ratings (via Numbers.app) and save them to a text file on the desktop, with no rating greater than 80. As previously, you must choose at least one track.
--BEGINNING OF SCRIPT
*tell application "iTunes"*
--Make a list of all the selected albums:
*set theAlbums to {}*
*set theAlbumsRef to a reference to theAlbums*
*set tempList to album of selection*
*set thePreviousTitle to ""*
*repeat with thisTitle in tempList*
*set thisTitle to thisTitle as text*
*if thisTitle is not thePreviousTitle then*
*copy thisTitle to the end of theAlbumsRef*
*set thePreviousTitle to thisTitle*
*end if*
*end repeat*
*set numberOfAlbums to count theAlbums*
--Make a list containing one track for each selected album:
*set theTracks to {}*
*set theTracksRef to a reference to theTracks*
*repeat with thisAlbum in theAlbums*
*copy (track 1 whose album is thisAlbum) to the end of theTracksRef*
*end repeat*
--Set the album rating of each album contained in the selection:
*set theRatings to ""*
*set k to 0*
*repeat with thisTrack in theTracks*
*set k to k + 1*
*if k mod 25 = 0 then beep 1* -- for audio feedback
*set thisAlbum to item k of theAlbums*
*set numberOfTracks to 0*
*repeat with k from 1 to (disc count of thisTrack)*
try
*get (track count of track 1 whose (album is thisAlbum) and (disc number is k))*
*set numberOfTracks to numberOfTracks + result*
*end try*
*end repeat*
*set songRating to 0*
*repeat with R in (rating of tracks whose album is thisAlbum)*
*if R > 80 then set R to 80*
*set songRating to songRating + R*
*end repeat*
*set thisRating to round (songRating / numberOfTracks)*
*set album rating of thisTrack to thisRating*
*set theRatings to theRatings & (album artist of thisTrack & tab & thisAlbum & tab & (thisRating as text) & return)*
*end repeat*
*end tell*
--Save the album ratings to a text file (on the dekstop):
*set theTextFile to POSIX file (POSIX path of (path to desktop) & "iTunes Ratings")*
*open for access theTextFile with write permission*
*set eof theTextFile to 0*
*write theRatings to theTextFile*
*close access theTextFile*
--Use application Numbers.app to sort the text file by rating:
*tell application "Finder" to set NumbersWasOpen to (process "Numbers" exists)*
*tell application "Numbers"*
launch
*open theTextFile*
*tell table 1 of sheet 1 of front document*
*sort by column 3 direction descending*
*set theSortedRatings to ""*
*repeat with j from 1 to numberOfAlbums*
*set X to value of cell 1 of row j*
*if X = 0 then set X to ""*
*set Y to value of cell 2 of row j*
*if Y = 0 then set Y to ""*
*set Z to (value of cell 3 of row j) as integer*
*set theSortedRatings to theSortedRatings & X & tab & Y & tab & Z & return*
*end repeat*
*end tell*
*close front document without saving*
*if not NumbersWasOpen then quit*
*end tell*
*open for access theTextFile with write permission*
*set eof theTextFile to 0*
*write theSortedRatings to theTextFile*
*close access theTextFile*
theSortedRatings
--END OF SCRIPT
Please let me know if anything doesn't work as expected.

Itunes match; a) if incorrect genre etc data has been uploaded to icloud, cannot delete it or replace the track/ data b) now have 9k tracks "stuck" in icloud and cannot delete them no matter what I do. eh?

Hi
I;m having so itunes match issues.
I ran itunes match. I';ve since foumd, I think:
a) if incorrect genre etc data has been uploaded to icloud, I cannot find how to delete it and reupload correct song and data. I am presently assuming that once songs are matched, the meta-data, genre, etc etc thats uploaded is now treated as 'the master' by itunes.
Question: if I want to change the genre on a track, whats the correct way to overwrite the data held in the icloud? if I delete the track i just bring down the old incorrect genres again!
b) I've deleted from the icloud all my music tracks (select all, delete, Y to delete tracks from icloud). I have turned off itunes match on my ipad, iphone, appletv mac and windows pc. I've deleted the itunes library files too from mac and pc in desperation. But hours /days later, when I turn on itunes match on mac or pc, it tells me i still have 9k tracks in icloud. All with the old, wrong meta-data ready to mess up my [now-corrected] files back on my pc!
I cannot delete them no matter what I do. The number of tracks in the cloud was 12k, now 9k so its reducing, by about 1500 tracks a day.
does it really take itunes servers that long to delete the tracks I've asked it to delete, or am i seeing garbage data?
is there a quicker way of deleting all my itunes match library, songs and data?

Thanks for the helpful replies.
My original intention was to 'upgrade' some of my tracks. In those cases, I'd iTunes matched, and the process was completed.
I later downloaded those new tracks but found during that process, the tracks I was downloading had the old metadata.
I guess the idea there is to update the local genres, 'update iTunes match' and wait. How long, I don't know but that's the current solution,yes ?
Thing is I was trying to get my local library updated and, as I thought it, back in order, but was finding my local genre updates were being overwritten. I had a lot of tracks that kept on stating they could be downloaded so I thought the new files hadn't been copied down...
I think I was trying to get match to do too many things at once.
Deleting my tracks in the cloud? Was an act of desperation to start over with all known good genres locally and to re- upload, start over. I'd read in some forum or other to do that, I guess that was wrong,
Ok so I will.. Err,
A wait and see how long it takes to delete my tracks in the cloud ie let it complete the process I'd already started.
B Correct my local tracks genres
C Wait til those changes propagate up to the iCloud ( or whatever the right term is)
Q1: How long should I wait for A and C to complete?
Q2: Is it 100% definite that local genre changes will get copied up to the cloud, when I 'update iTunes match'?
I don't see any animated cloud icon, but I will watch for it!
Thanks again

Problems with Refresh / Deleting Tracks and Album ...

There are times when refreshing the Music Player library either won't complete (eg: after you've dropped the phone popping out the battery in the middle of a refresh .. or is that just me?) or deleted tracks and album art won't disappear from the Music library after a refresh.
These problems are often down to corruption of the library and the only thing to do is to delete the library files and start over. Even a hard reset of the phone won't fix this as the files are stored on the card / mass memory.
To delete the library files:
- Ensure you can see hidden files in Windows Explorer:
Windows Explorer .. Tools .. Folder Options .. View
Select "Show hidden files and folders"
- Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable in "Data transfer" mode
- Find and rename (or delete if you're really brave) files with names like:
E:\private\101FFC31\mpxv1.mpd
E:\private\101FFC31\pcv5.mpd
E:\private\101ffca9\harvesterdb.dat
(assuming the phone's mass memory / card has been connected as E
Note that the folder names may be different and the files may have prefixes - eg: mpxv1.mpd could be called abcmpxv1.mpd. Basically, you need to search under the Private folder for any files that look similar.
If you rename files - eg: by adding a ".o" to the end of the name - instead of deleting them, you can always just change the name back if you find you need those files back.
- Refresh the Music Player library
This will take longer than normal as it's a complete refresh, but it should now work.

Hi,
What version of Workspace Manager are you using ? I tested this with 9.2.0.4 and everything worked as expected. I was unable to update the row from the WK2 workspace after refreshing it.
Please note that after removing WK1, all locks that had been held by the WK1 workspace are dropped. So, when you update the row for a second time, you are actually locking the row that had been merged(which is contained in the TOP workspace) and not the row from the LIVE workspace. So any workspace that references the row from the LIVE workspace, and not the one from the TOP workspace, would be able to update the row.
This is the case that exists before refreshing WK2. However, after refreshing WK2, it will then use the row from the TOP workspace. Since this row is locked it would be unable update the row.

Self Registration and Attestation is not working in OIM 9.1.0.4

Hi,
i have setup a new OIM environment using OC4J. I am able to create users and provision IT resource but self registration and attestation is not working. not sure it is OC4J issue or OIM issue. For self registration it says request is submitted but when I login as xelsysadm and dlon't see any pending request and same thing happens for attestation. It dowsn't display any error but never gets completed and don't see this also in pending request list. If anybody has idea to debug the issue then let me know and thanks for help.
Thanks,

EBusiness Suite User "Auto-provisioning" and "Self-Request" Problem

I have two types of OIM User, Staff and Contingent
Staff (Role = Full-Time)
Contingent (Role = Contractor / Role = Consultant)
Resource Object: eBusiness Suite User
Here's my RO configuration:
Auto Pre-populate: true
Allow Multiple: true
Self Request Allowed: true
Allow All: true
Auto-Launch: true
EBS Connector, by default has two forms:
UD_EBS_UO: Object Form
UD_EBS_USER: Process Form
I have requirement which will auto-provision eBusiness Suite User resource to Staff users.
Originally, UD_EBS_OU is the table name used by the RO. For auto-provisioning to work, I have implemented it this way:
First, I have defined a User Group for Staff and assign an Access Policy to it (for users with Role == Full-Time).
Then, I have detached Object Form UD_EBS_UO from the RO. This way, when Staff user is created in OIM, it is automatically provisioned with eBusiness Suite User, though it won't have a Resource Form, only a Process Form. Process Form fields are automatically pre-populated with values (via my Pre-populate adapters).
Now my problem is during Self-Request. Contingent user doesn't get auto-provisioned with EBS RO, but he can self-request for it. Problem is, since I detached the Object Form from the RO, user is not seeing any form during request. And I have a requirement that approver of the request should also be able to view/modify the details of the request form. But that is not possible now that Object Form does not exist for this RO.
Is it possible that Self-Request and Auto-Provisioning works both ways under the same Resource Object? How do I configure that? Appreciate your quick response and help. :)
Edited by: user10202544 on Feb 10, 2010 3:27 AM

Yes I have set permissions to all users for the Object Form.
It is required for me to have both Self Request and Auto-provisioning work for eBusiness Suite RO.
During approval, however, the approver needs to see the Object Form (where he can view/modify its values before approving it). That's impossible for me since I detached the Object Form from the Resource Object. I need do to this for auto-provisioning to work.
It seems that it doesn't work both ways. Any other suggestions?

EM - Delete Existing Tracking ID and add New Tracking ID

Hello Everyone
I am working on u201CDual Tracking IDu201D issue for EM Project.
Issue: Current design, when Users change Tracking ID (Inbound Delivery Bill of Lading #), In Event Management, we have both Old and New Tracking ID (YTRACK_NO).
Solution: Users / Business Requested to Update Existing Tracking ID (YTRACK_NO) in EM. Anytime in EM, we will have only NEW value of YTRACK_NO.
For the same, I modified FM in ECC and Config (Rules) in EM.
Added Tracking References in Event Message FM whenever there is change in Tracking No.
Replace Existing Tracking ID YTRACK_NO with new Value
      ls_trackreferences-evtcnt   = lv_evtcnt.
      ls_trackreferences-refcod   = 'YTRACK_NO'.
      ls_trackreferences-refid    = <ls_xlikp>-bolnr.
      ls_trackreferences-refusage = 'T'.
      ls_trackreferences-action   = 'A'.
      APPEND ls_trackreferences TO lt_trackreferences.
Configuration / Rules in EM:
For YIDN_CHANGED_TRAC Activity:
Iu2019ve added Task12 u2013 Delete Tracking u2013 Activity TRACKING_ID_REMOVE
TASK 15 u2013 Added Tracking ID u2013 Activity TRACKING_ID_SET
Once the FM and Config is completed,
When I change Existing Inbound Delivery BOL #, I see TRACKING ID (YTRACK_NO) is deleted from Tracking ID Tab for Inbound Delivery EH but new Tracking ID (YTRACK_NO) is not added either.
I checked SLG1 ( logs) and I see Activity is Triggered and RC = 0. Donu2019t see any errors either.
I see entry in /saptrx/evm_ref ( New Tracking ID) table.
Any thoughts?
Any help is appreciated.
PS:
u2022     Once the Event Messages is posted, If I do Reprocess Event Messages (Manually), interestingly New Tracking ID is getting added to EH.
u2022     Also if post Event Messages through BADI (/SAPTRX/BAPI_EH_ADDEVENTMSG_02) in EM (manually) , it works Perfectly (Deletes and Adds new Tracking ID)

In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

Thank you for your attempt to help me. I appreciate that.
I think I figured out how to fix it-
I found that if I only delete a small amount at the beginning and at the end of the section that I want to remove - and then highlight that section - Then (and only then) does the "Delete and Move" function work to remove the unwanted section and automatically close the gap between the surrounding sections. I was trying to select a whole section and could only delete it - and then manually move it.
Problem solved.

I converted some songs in iTunes to work with an eMusic device. I'd like to delete them, but I'm not sure which of the duplicated songs to delete. Some titles are black and some are gray.

I converted some songs in iTunes to work with an eMusic device. I'd like to delete them, but I'm not sure which of the duplicated songs to delete. Some titles are black and some are gray.

let's just doublecheck some things quickly. do any of the affected songs play in itunes at the moment? if so, when you play them, do they ask to be authorised?
if so, does the authorisation go through successfully, or do you get an error message? (if you get an error message, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
if the authorisation seems to go through successfully, with the authorised songs sync to the ipod?

All DVD's inserted, self eject and don't play, why?

Oracle doc inconsistent on materialize view with union all and self joins

First of all, I can't seem to create a materialized view containing self-joins AND union all. Is it possible?
I checked Oracle 9i (my version: PL/SQL Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production) documentation and I get different answers (or so it seems to me).
First I saw this: "The COMPATIBILITY parameter must be set to 9.0 if the materialized aggregate view has inline views, outer joins, self joins or grouping sets and FAST REFRESH is specified during creation..."
Did you see the part about 'self joins' in there? I did and I was pumped because that seems to say that you CAN have 'self joins' (and my compatibility is 9.2...)
BUT
In the very same document I also found "Oracle does not allow self-joins in materialized join views." (rage)
You can see the document I am speaking of here: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96520/mv.htm#574889
Whenever I try to create the mview I get the following error. (
In any caseORA-01446 cannot select ROWID from view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.
