What is the easiest way to delete duplicates of photos

I have ended up with many duplicates and triplicates after uploading new photos trying to figure out the easiest way to manage these and delete the extras I have over 20,000 pictures.

best way is to avoid them in the first place - have you by any chance imported an older iPhoto library into your current iPhoto library? Recently? Is the old library still available?
THe best way to remove dupicates is using th epaid version of iPhoto Library Manager or Duplicate annilator

What is the easiest way to delete a song or album directly off the iPod? Also, how do I get rid of the tunes it cannot convert so it does'nt run through them every time I upload an album or song?

Right click the song you want to get rid of and there should be a delete button.

HT1417 What's the quickest way to delete duplicates without going song by song?

What is the quickest way to delete duplicates from i tunes library without going song by song? I just transferred my music from my ipod classic to my computer and now I have a lot of duplicate music. Most is from CD's I reburned or music I was able to get back on my new computer through I tunes. It is from my personal i pod (one of 4). I finally figured out how to get it off the ipod and back onto my newer computer. I made sure to go to advanced setting and check "keep i tunes folder organized" but it still saved all duplicates.

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

What is the easiest way to remove duplicate contacts on my Iphone?

What is the easiest way to remove duplicate contacts on my Iphone and avoid them in the future?

There are apps that will locate and remove duplicate contacts, such as My Contacts Backup Pro. As for preventing them in the future, if you are syncing contacts both with iTunes and iCloud this will create duplicates. If you are, pick one and disable the other.

What is the fastest way to delete duplicate songs?

I will spend hours deleting songs from the duplicate veiw unless someone has a faster way to delete duplicates.

Import the photos with your computer as with any other digitial camera. Most computer photo importing apps include an option to delete the photos from the camera after the import process is complete.
Or select Edit followed by selecting multiple photos that you want to delete followed by selecting Delete.

What is the easiest way to create and share photo/video gallery or slide show with family via web?

I am brand new to Lightroom (converted from Aperture) and made the conversation mainly because I thought that Adobe would bring many more options and because Apple has discontinued development of Aperture. Part of the reason I am asking this question is because there is so much information out there on this subject that it is overwhelming and actually is making it difficult to determine the best way to simply arrange my photos/videos into a slideshow and then to publish somewhat of a gallery or slideshow to show family and friends in other states.
I do not like publishing things to Facebook/etc. Too public. I just want a simple, efficient way to create a gallery with music and have a link I can send to my family (they all live in another state).
Any help narrowing this down for me would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
RJ Chesterton

an airport extreme base station would do the job, it has several ethernet ports for use by non-wireless devices, allows connecting a usb printer to share, and supports both pc and mac via wireless
config is via a dedicated set-up utility
however, you can always connect the printer to the mac or pc and share it that way, so having this support in the base station isn't essential
a much cheaper unit from netgear etc. (such as the netgear wgr614) would offer the other features, be far more compact, and allow configuration via web browser, which might be a factor if you need to give 'remote support'
i've got both airport and netgear wireless devices, imho for non-technical users the netgear is simpler than the airport due to the web browser configuration

What is the easiest way to delete a line in a file?

Hi!
I have a file that is line oriented. I am using BufferedReader and BufferedWriter. My problem is, is how do I easily delet a line from a file? Sort of like this:
This
is
not
a
file
To:
This
is
a
file
My file then has to be resaved like that.

That was my idea what you did. Just making sure their
was no other way. There are surely other ways to do it.
As the file is dynamic, I have no
Idea how many lines long it is. Thank you.But you have not just an idea but the exact size of file!
That's just an example:import java.io.*;
class X {
     private static final String BAD_LINE = "so bad!";
     private static final String NEW_LINE = System.getProperty("line.separator");
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
          File f = new File("filename");
          //supposing in "worst" scenario nothing will be removed
          StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer((int)f.length());
          String line = "";
          BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));
          while((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
               //just filter out good lines
               if(!line.equals(BAD_LINE)) sb.append(line + NEW_LINE);
          in.close();
          //write back the processed file:
          BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("filename"));
          byte[] bout = sb.toString().getBytes();
          out.write(bout, 0, bout.length);
          out.close();

What's the easiest way to set up multiple photo albums?

Ok so here is where I am at...
I am creating a portfolio site for my photographer friend and I want to be able to set it up so that she can easily create new albums whenever she wants. The thing is I created the template for my site using Muse, so i've been learning how to make BC and Muse work together. I have already got the Blog Module working with Muse just fine after some searching, but the photo galleries are just getting me stumped.
Is there a way to set it up so that my friend can upload new albums using only BC? For example, on the portfolio page I would like there to be options that say Weddings, Portraits, Engagements... etc and then on each page following those options would be separate galleries for each event she shoots.
I sure hope this is possible to achieve... Thanks for your help!

You will need to give her access to the admin and have proper templates setup and enable the editing. This will mess up a bit of how you work with your Muse.
She can then make pages and create photo galleries in the admin and insert them into a page.

I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

What do you not understand?
You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
Or
However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

What's the easiest way to retrieve lost music files?

I was using a file sharing program and I saw that all of my music files were being shown in its share folder, and I did not want to share them. I assumed the files were duplicates and deleted them. When I realized the actual files were being deleted I stopped it, but not before several hundred files were lost. Here is the error message I get when I plug in my iPhone.
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w91/Candyman_8877/Untitled1.png
It says there is a hundred files missing, but when I count the "!" marks in iTunes, I got to 100 by the letter C, so there is definitely several hundred files missing. I have my machine backed up with time machine, and I also have a faily recent copy of my music folder on an external drive.
I'm wondering, what is the easiest way (using the fewest clicks) to restore all of my missing music files? I'm trying to avoid searching out and restoring every missing file individually, as there are hundreds and this would be very time consuming.
Thanks for any help and advice,
mcfada

If you are confident the Time Machine backup is current, recover your iTunes folder and all its contents from there.

What's the easiest way to make a password system? 10 Duke Points!

Hello everyone,
What's the easiest way to make a password system in java?
I'd like to be able to:
1) store passwords for about 6 people.
2) have the people only interact with my program using my Eclipse console with no GUIs, pop-ups or Swing code.
3) let the people have the ability to create/delete their own passwords and logins. (ideally)
Having searched around the Internet, it seems that the options are to:
A) have code that allows users create files, write to files, read from files.
B) have code that serializes objects - this seems pretty difficult.
C) have code that has a hash table of some kind - although I don't really know hash tables very well and am not sure if they can store data over time unless the program is always running (which is an option).
D) use some sort of javadoc like PassWordCallback - this one looks the easiest as the code already seems to be there but I'm not really sure how to include this type of stuff in my code.
E) have code that allows users to input their password, which I've given them on a piece of paper, and then allow the code to match it to a file - this wouldn't let the users create their own passwords though.
Anyway, hope you can help!
I have a 'Head First Java' book and a 'Java for Dummies' book if you know of anything directly useful in these books.

Using GUIs and Swing is really easy, I have only been using Java for a week now and I have already made a simple application with events. First of all Swing is a package and you need to import it (as described in the documentation).
When you click on the Swing package in the documentation to the second frame you'll see JFrame when you scroll down. JFrame's are the main windows on your screen. JFrame is a class therefore it needs to be instantiated (making an instance of that class so we can use it). After all, everything is based around classes.
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Title here");
Note: The "JFrame" before the frame vaiable name is the "data type" of the variable, really we're making an object type (I think its called) just like we'd do String frame if we wanted to make a frame variable that is of type String.
As explained in the [JFrame section of the documentation|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JFrame.html] in the "Constructor Summary" section is the different types of Construtors that are made available to us when we instantiate the JFrame class. One of the construtors available are:
JFrame(String title)
... which is exactly what I did above in the brackets/parentheses (its telling us we can add a String title).
Remember constructors do not have any return type or anything and is not a method, because it is the same name as the class and when we instantiate we call the constructor. And so the JFrame class has many constructors, one is for making a title for our JFrame and another is just instantiating without a title. If there wasn't the JFrame(String title) and just JFrame() constructor, we wouldn't be able to add a title as we made an instance of JFrame.
So once we've made an instance of JFrame we have all the methods available (and all of the methods are shown in the API documentation).
Hope you understand now :).Wow. Thanks a lot bastones_. I think Swing is just a bit beyond me at the moment and will require quite a bit of time for me to master. Is there not an easier way of making a password system? I think that A (see above) seems the easiest for me at the moment and D (see above) would be nice if I could just figure out how to use the javadoc.
