Resetting Safari/iCloud bookmarks

Finding duplicate bookmarks In Safari 5

After upgrading to Lion and iOS5, I get duplicate, triplicate, and so on numbers of the same bookmarks. Is there an easy way to find dupes in order to delete them. Since there is no way to sort bookmarks, I'm stuck. Help, someone.

I found two ways of sorting bookmarks:
Take one or more bookmark folders and drag them to your desktop. This puts them into Finder and automatically alphabetizes them. From here you can also delete duplicates, rearrange, etc. Since I had thousands of duplicates, this was ok but would take a long time.
2. I eventually found a little program, Bookmacster, for all osx versions and bought it after trying it and being delighted. It cost $22.95 and is worth every penny for someone with my problem. The website is: http://www.sheepsystems.com/products/bkmx/ The developer is helpful, too.
Since I'm no longer so ignorant about how iCloud works, the duplicating bookmarks problem shouldn't return. If it does at least I have Bookmacter to help.

Duplicate bookmarks in PDF created from Framemaker 8

Hello,
I'm working on some legacy content using Framemaker 8 p266. Every time I create a PDF, I get duplicate bookmarks. The first set is wrong, and the second set is formatted correctly and contains the right content.
For example, it basically looks like the PDF is grabbing all of the content from the Table of Contents page, and then listing the correct bookmarks (Section title, heading 1) after that.
I'm creating my PDF using the Save As PDF option. In the PDF Setup for Selected Files dialog, I do have the Generate PDF Booksmarks option enabled, "Bookmarks Expanded Through Level" is set to None, and in the Include Paragraphs field I have Appendix Title, Head 1, and Section Title.
I'm using Adobe Distiller XI, maybe that's my problem.
Any ideas? I would appreciate it.
Susan

Are these duplicates side-by-side (e.g. A and then A again) or one after another (A, B, C... and then A, B, C...)?
If they're one set after another, FM picks up the list of paratags to include in the bookmarks list from the first file in the book, so if this doesn' contain everything, it might help to import the additional formats into that one. Then clear/remove the exisiting bookmarks and only add back the Titles and Heading1 bookmarks (check that the TOC ones remain in the Don't include list).

How to remove thousands of duplicate emails in Apple Mail?

Hi everybody,
I know there are a couple of discussions on the web already about this issue, but I cannot find one that clearly answers my question or solves my problem.
I'm working on Lion with Mail version 5.1 and I have a Gmail-account. I have been messing around a bit with IMAP and POP to re-collect all my Gmail-mails into Apple Mail, but now I see that almost every email has 1 to 5 or even more duplicates.
I've tried Andreas Amann's "Remove Duplicates" script, but whatever Mailbox I check, it doesn't work with Lion (yet). I get this error:
There is another script I tried, the one from this page: http://hints.macworld.com/comment.php?mode=view&cid=115625
It just makes my computer freak out, so not OK.
A third script I found here: http://jollyroger.kicks-***.org/software/
I downloaded the "RemoveDuplicateMessages-Mail.zip"-file and installed it. It does say it finds and relocates duplicate mails from the Mailbox that is selected in Mail:
It relocates all the duplicates to a folder on my Desktop, called "Remove Duplicate Messages". I do find them there, but the mails in the selected Mailbox in Mail.app still show their duplicates! Even when I throw the files from the new folder on Desktop in the Trash and empty it, nothing changes. Not even after restarting Mail. Or my Mac.
So I'm still stuck with thousands of duplicates. Any help on this one?
Thanks a lot,
Alexander

I have found a very satisfactory solution to eliminating my duplicates in Apple Mail, which is to stop using it and switch to Thunderbird.
There's lots that I like better in Apple Mail, but Thunderbird is light-years more flexible in managing your email than is Apple Mail, because Thunderbird is an open platform with excellent Add-ons available, which include the nifty Remove Duplicate Messages: http://bit.ly/tbird-dups. It is stupid that Apple Mail hides duplicate messages in the background & won't allow users to search and destroy them. Frustrating!
As a prologue to that, you need the TB import export Add-on: http://bit.ly/tbirdimportexport
Managing my mail locally on my Mac was a huge project for me, involving integrating tens of thousands of emails. Mail was from gmail, yahoo, and many years of Outlook PST files.
Now that the project is complete, I'm very happy with Thunderbird to manage my email archives. Though I actually would prefer the Lion Apple Mail interface for day to day use, it just isn't flexible enough.

Is there a way to merge or delete duplicate bookmarks?

I imported bookmarks and now I have duplicates. Is there a quick and easy way to merge or delete duplicate bookmarks, like there is with Contacts?

Open the Bookmarks section of your browser and delete the ones you do not need or want. I know of no macro commands that one can use to delete them.
Ciao.

How do I find and delete duplicate bookmarks ?

How do I find and delete duplicate bookmarks ? Mac OS X

Under the file tab in iTunes, select Display Duplicates. From there you can delete them as well.

HT201812 I have thousands of duplicates. "Show Duplicates" does half the work. Help.

I recently consolidated a couple incomplete backups into a brand new iTunes library on my Macbook Air.
Despite needing to load both collections to cover all my music, there are thousands of duplicate song files in iTunes.
I can use "Show Duplicates" to show all of them in one screen. But Apple's advice was to simply "select the duplicates I want to delete."
Now, I suppose I can take an extra day off work, Press Command and start to click on every other file listed for several hours and hope I don't mess up at any point and have to start over.
But I have to believe in this technologically advanced world, that there is a better way to accomplish this goal.
Please help me dear sweet Internet.

The first thing you should try to fix this problem is to sync your iPhone with iTunes over USB instead of WiFi. If that doesn't work. Delete the music that is corrupted on your iPhone from your iTunes library. Re-sync your iPhone with iTunes make sure it deletes the music. Then, reload the music on, and sync via USB. If none of that works, the only possible solution is to restore your iPhone's firmware.

Consolidation made thousands of duplicates

I have never had problems with consolidation until today. But today I clicked the consolidate button and after about a minute of watching the blue bar, I realised that something was wrong, as I thought there were only about 100 songs or so to move. I tried to Stop, but it wouldn't respond. Finally, when it did respond, about three minutes later, I found that it had copied all other tunes into the itunes folder, whether they were already there or not, so now I have thousands of duplicates.
Could somebody tell me why this has happened, how I can stop this from happening again, and what the **** I can do with all these duplicates. (The duplicates do not show up in the itunes library).
(I have just upgraded to itunes 6.0.4 from 6.0.3: might that have had anything to do with it? )

I'd just like to add a little more here.
All the duplicates are like this: Lullaby.mp3 and Lullaby 1.mp3.
I assumed that I could simply find all the 1.mp3 files with Spotlight and delete them. However, I have found that for some reason the itunes library refers to the 1.mp3 files. Therefore, If I delete them, I would then have to delete all of the library entries, and then find and add all the relevant files from the itunes folder into the library. This is going to take ages, and if anybody has a better idea I'd like to know.
Just as importantly, I'd like to know why this happened, and what steps I can take to avoid it happening again.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Since using sync I now have duplicate bookmarks, but if I delete one bookmark it deletes it's duplicate too, how do I get rid of this second set of bookmarks?

Since using sync I now have duplicate bookmarks, but if I delete one od the duplicate bookmarks it also deletes the original, how do I get rid of this second set of bookmarks?

The places.sqlite database may still be corrupted if the same bookmarks show in different locations.

How to delete duplicate bookmarks?

I have a lot of duplicate bookmarks in Firefox and the number keeps on adding on. There are few answers regarding this on Support pages but none of them work. Neither the add-ons mentioned there(sad such trivial and basic things need add-ons) .
As there's no good way to sync Chrome and Firefox bookmarks I often end up manually importing in either browser from the other and after that I end up having tones of duplicates. I can deal with this in Chrome but have not figured out how to do this in Firefox. I think Sync ought to handle this.
Anyway, any quick solution regarding this? Preferably without an add-on (sigh!! one more thing to slow down the browser).

Firefox doesn't allow duplicate bookmarks to be saved. A user can override that feature by copying a bookmark to a different folder, or by saving a "dupe" bookmark manually, by dragging the "dupe" to a different folder from the original.
I'm not sure how Sync handles duplicates, as I have so many "dupes" from the days before Firefox 3.0 when the saving of "dupes" was removed from the "Bookmark this page" button and menu items.
As far as "importing" bookmarks from another browser, Firefox ''will'' import duplicates.
Sorry, the only way I know of finding and deleting duplicate bookmarks is via an extension. Bookmark Duplicate Detector was the last extension that I used, in years past.

Subject Lightroom 1.1 created thousands of duplicate records
Posted by dvine [CLICK FOR PROFILE]
Date/Time 10:07:47 PM, Friday, July 13, 2007
I thought I had about 20,000 raw images in crw, cr2, nef and tif camera raw formats.
Over the years, I had backups and duplicates scattered about, but each unique image had the same base name... yymmdd_serial#.
So I looked forward to using LR to help organize the mess.
I created a LR database and incorporated my most complete collection, converting all to dng as I went. I ended up with about 20,ooo images.
I then began importing from other sources with similar, but not identical file structures, and with ignore duplicates checked. I was suprised to learn that I actually had about 30.000 images.
Unfortunately about 10,000 were duplicates of two dng types.
1) Many were copies with -2.dng added to the original file name. This must be a problem with the DNG converter which goes through any directory and simply copies and renames duplicates. These are not too difficult to eliminate with Vista's search for *-2.dng.
2) Much nastier was the fact that dng files with the same name that existed in different subdirectories were imported and only when I tried to clean up some of these subdirectories in LR, was I informed there were other files with the same name. So I had to use BreezeBrowser to find and eliminate about 5000 duplicate dng files... Now they are not exactly duplicates because many were gererated

That may be a consequence of not being on the forum, but by email or RSS.
I much prefer direct forum psoting, myself.

Thousands of duplicate contacts in Address Book

I am running Thunderbird 24.4.0 on Windows 7. I have had the Google contacts Add On installed and activated for a while with no issues, but in the past month+ all of a sudden I am finding thousands (like 12,000) duplicates are certain contacts. It is usually a new to my system email address, and in at least two of the cases is a contact I already have in the system. And it's random - not EVERY new email address does this.
I have searched and searched and found others with the issue, but no real solution or explanation of where the problem might be coming from. Google contacts? Thunderbird? The add-on?
Anyone have any ideas? I know how to delete the multiples and use the merge function on Google -- but the problem is how to prevent it from happening! Not only is it annoying to have 15,000 of the same contact, but it causes terrible, terrible slowness in the auto-entering of addresses when I am writing an email, since the system has to search through so many contacts. Incredibly annoying.
Thanks in advance for the help!

I have that add-on installed and have none of your issues. What Thunderbird version?
