What causes iCloud duplicates (and which to keep?)

Since the iTunes 11 upgrade, everything I've purchased from the iTunes Store appears twice in iTunes - one version with an iCloud icon overlay, and one without.
I do NOT use or subscribe to iTunes Match (I'd love to, but the 25k track cap is far too small).
I can right-click the non-iCloud version and do Reveal in Finder. Right-clicking the iCloud version does not have a Reveal in Finder option. In other words, there's only one copy of each duplicated track stored on my computer, and another one in the cloud.
In most cases, both versions have the same bitrate, but in other cases they do not.
I understand the Find Duplicates feature will be restored soon, and that's good news. When it does re-appear, I'll want to remove all these dupes... but which version should I keep? And shouldn't iCloud+iTunes be resolving this automatically?
Thanks for any insight.

BTW, this problem also affects my "Unplayed" smart playlist, since it now shows a ton of stuff unplayed that isn't (it considers the iCloud versions unplayed).

Really? Oh I get it. You're the kind of person who goes on tech message boards to make jokes - or friends.
Well, I'm trying to solve this problem - which is a rather annoying way to spend a Saturday.
SO either help or don't reply.

I don't see any DDR3L on the page for the RAM that would fit your model -> http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_133 3MHz_SDRAM.
But the answer is that it doesn't really matter - just make certain to get 1333MHz.
Good luck,

You reset the iClould password the same way you reset the Apple ID for the email address/account
How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.

My 5 year old MacBook Air is telling me it "cannot save information about your mailboxes because there isn't enough space in your home folder. Quit mail, delete files you don't need, then reopen mail." What is "home folder," and which files to delete?

The home folder is where all of your personal files are kept.
Best candidates to delete are movies, videos, music and photos since they generally take the most space.
Don't forget to empry the Trash after you delete the file because the space is not returned until the Trash is emptied.

How do i decide what files iCloud does and does not upload/store?

Hello,
I am in the process of uploading my music to the iCloud.
This includes music from the iMatch facility that I am subscribed to as well as other music that I need to upload because it’s not available in the ITunes store.
I have a question?
How do I control what files/playlists etc are uploaded to the cloud??
As at present I only have 50GB of storage, how to I best manage this to see what I have and check I upload all that I want?
In the same way as doing a standard sync with your iPod/iphone to your PC, you can control what playlists and tracks that you add and which you don’t?
How in essence do I do this with ICLOUD and prioritize what it holds??
Appreciate your feedback folks
Simon.

Hi Kirk,
Thank you for your response.
I was under the impression that the limit was 50GB max or 25,000 files whichever came first?
I have a total of 80gb :-)
Anyway, if the limit is 50GB and say for somereason i only wanted to upload 3/4 of my files to the cloud, how do i detrmine which ones are uploaded and stored via match or non match upload and which remain outisde the cloud?
Can this be done?
Regards
Simon.

TS3992 Altho' my 4S iPhone is connected to Wi-fi & I have a correct Apple/icloud ID and password, I keep getting the message "icloud backup Failed. Turn off airplane mode, or use Wi-Fi to enable iCloud backup." Should I delete my account,setting up a new

I cannot activate my iCloud backup of my 4S iPhone, even though I have definitely deactivated Airplane mode, and am connected to Wi-Fi. I also have a correct Apple/iCloud ID and password.
Should I delete my iCloud account and set up a new one??
Please give me some assistance with this problem!
Sincerely, Brianrit

To unfreeze it, reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.
To troubleshoot your problem with backing up to iCloud, this may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your iPad that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

What causes BUFFER GETS and PHYSICAL READS in INSERT operation to be high?

Hi All,
Am performing a huge number of INSERTs to a newly installed Oracle XE 10.2.0.1.0 on Windows. There is no SELECT statement running, but just INSERTs one after the other of 550,000 in count. When I monitor the SESSION I/O from Home > Administration > Database Monitor > Sessions, I see the following stats:
BUFFER GETS = 1,550,560
CONSISTENT GETS = 512,036
PHYSICAL READS = 3,834
BLOCK CHANGES = 1,034,232
The presence of 2 stats confuses. Though the operation is just INSERT in database for this session, why should there be BUFFER GETS of this magnitude and why should there by PHYSICAL READS. Aren't these parameters for read operations? The BLOCK CHANGES value is clear as there are huge writes and the writes change these many blocks. Can any kind soul explain me what causes there parameters to show high value?
The total columns in the display table are as follows (from the link mentioned above)
1. Status
2. SID
3. Database Users
4. Command
5. Time
6. Block Gets
7. Consistent Gets
8. Physical Reads
9. Block Changes
10. Consistent Changes
What does CONSISTENT GETS and CONSISTENT CHANGES mean in a typical INSERT operation? And does someone know which all tables are involved in getting these values?
Thank,
...

Hans, gracias.
The table just have 2 columns, both of which are varchar2 (500). No constraints, no indexes, neither foreign key references are in place. The total size of RAM in system is 1GB, and yes, there are other GUI's going on like Firefox browser, notepad and command terminals.
But, what does these other applications have to do with Oracle BUFFER GETS, PHYSICAL READS etc.? Awaiting your reply.Total RAM is 1GB. If you let XE decide how much RAM is to be allocated to buffers, on startup that needs to be shared with any/all other applications. Let's say that leaves us with, say 400M for the SGA + PGA.
PGA is used for internal stuff, such as sorting, which is also used in determing the layout of secondary facets such as indexes and uniqueness. Total PGA usage varies in size based on the number of connections and required operations.
And then there's the SGA. That needs to cover the space requirement for the data dictionary, any/all stored procedures and SQL statements being run, user security and so on. As well as the buffer blocks which represent the tablespace of the database. Since it is rare that the entire tablespace will fit into memory, stuff needs to be swapped in and out.
So - put too much space pressure on the poor operating system before starting the database, and the SGA may be squeezed. Put that space pressure on the system and you may enbd up with swapping or paging.
This is one of the reasons Oracle professionals will argue for dedicated machines to handle Oracle software.

There are many jre exe files: what are the differences and which I choose?

Having some problems, that I will describe in another message, I was looking for the latest jre.
I saw that on www.java.com there is 6 update 1, whereas on www.sun.com there is already 6 update 2. So, I would like to know when an update is made available on www.java.com and through automatic updates?
Also, I saw different names, and I would like to understand in an exact way what are the differences:
jre-6-windows-i586.exe;
jre-6-windows-i586-iftw.exe;
jre-6u1-windows-i586-p-s.exe;
jre-6u1-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe;
jre-6u2-windows-i586-p.exe;
jre-6u2-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe;
I understand that te iftw part means the it is a small download, only the setup module. But why there are some files that end with "-p", some with "-p-s", sm with "-i586"?
Thank You

The question mark icon on the dlls indicates that LabVIEW is unsure of
the location of the DLL, or is unable to locate the DLL on your
system. This can happen if the DLLs do not exist, or if the "Call
Library Function Node" just specifies the name of the dll, and not the
entire path to the dll. IVI and Instrument driver VIs will
typically not supply the entire path to the DLL, whch would cause the
question mark icon to appear.
If your application is working properly, then you should ignore the
question mark in the dependencies list. If your application is
broken because the DLLs cannot be found, they are installed with the
following drivers:
ivi.dll is installed with the IVI compliance package, which is available at the following link:
Drivers and Updates: IVI Compliance Package
You should also install the latest version of NI-VISA, which is required by the IVI Compliance Package:

I recently changed my apple ID but I not cannot access my iCloud account and I also keep getting a message pop up asking me for my old password with my old email address

Changed my apple ID email address which seemed to work but now cannot sign into iCloud account it still comes up with my old email address and I cannot access it also the message pops up all the time when just using ipad HELP

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

There is not much difference between Z77A-GD55 and -GD65. GD65 is a bit better than GD55 for oc and offers easy voltage check points. The slot layout is also a bit different. Looking at the price point the GD55 is m ost likely the better deal. You can compare mainboards using the following link:

I had a problem for over a year and now it's fixed. Does anyone know what caused the problem and what fixed it?

Here's the original problem
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/890221?esab=a&s=&r=2&as=s
It seems to have finally been fixed in firefox 22 (or 21). I'd love to know what the original cause of the problem was and whether it was fixed by firefox or OS X

I dont think any bugs were filed like this, likely something Apple fixed.
