Why all the duplicates when converting to AAC?

I need to convert all of my songs in iTunes to AAC. Unfortunately, as I do this iTunes is creating duplicates and these get synced to the iPod, leaving me with two of each song.
Why is this happening and, more importantly, can I prevent it and/or get rid of the dupes?

StarDeb55 - I'm using iTunes on Windows to do this, so that's why I posted it here. I should have have changed the OS listed in my post.
Thanks to everyone for the help. I'm doing a batch at a time and then deleting the old files. It's pretty easy when I sort by "date modified" and then just delete a bunch at a time.

Why all the micro4/3 (Panasonic and Olympus) lenses are missing in Lightroom lens corrections?

Is there a reason why all the micro4/3 lenses (panasonic, Leica and Olympus) are missing as lens corrections in all Lightroom versions?

They are not missing.
Within the last year or two many cameras do their own lens corrections before writing the JPG or even displaying the image on the back of the camera or in the electronic view finder, so Adobe does the same thing: the lens profiles are built into the camera raw engine and always applied. It’s confusing because cameras didn’t used to do this and Adobe didn’t used to do this, so we have the situation of older cameras having lens profiles you had to select from the dropdown lists, while newer cameras don’t require this. Of course removable-lens cameras still have this situation, but many/most recent P&S cameras have built-in lens corrections.
The Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop actually indicates when a built-in profile is being used, but LR does not, yet.

Does iTunes normalize audio when converting to AAC?

Most of my mp3s are not normalized. I want to normalize these tracks before converting them to AAC. Does iTunes normalize audio when converting to AAC? Or do i need to normalize my mp3s first, then convert them to AAC? Thanks!

What exactly do you mean by "normalize"? Do you mean leveling the volume?
iTunes uses the soundcheck feature to do this. It doesn't automatically happen when you convert a song to a different file type.
Apply it in iTunes using the edit/preferences/playback menu (Windows).
Turn it on on the iPod using the settings/soundcheck/on menu.
After applying it in iTunes, sync your iPod to reflect the changes made.
There are 3rd party programs that do this more effectively (at least in my opinion).
For Windows there is mp3Gain/aacGain.

How do we delete all the duplicate songs?

we have been coping our C Ds and found that we have tons of duplicate songs . how do we delete all the 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.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
Note also that I don't consider the same song appearing on different albums to be duplicates.

Why all the domain values disappeared from ESB control after chinese map?

hi,
when I creating a domain value in chinese in the ESB control and confirm it, After I restart the
soa service, all the domain values that I created before and the one in chinese disappeared.
Although the domain values in english desappeared, in the code they are still can be used.
But the domain values in chinese can not be used.
All the maps(both english and chinese ) are in DVM Repository.
Can you help me ??? Why all the domain values disappeared from ESB control ?? thanks
wanglinli

two collegues of mine ran into a similiar problem. Their ESB console seemed empty as well.Until one of them let the console open for about 10 minutes and the services/system re-appeared.
Indicating that when the services do not show up could also be caused by a serious performance glitch or the services are calling external systems which time out.
Another option is to wait for a few minutes and see if your services etc show up again.
I don't know where this performance degradation is coming from though. The only thing I noticed is that the ORAESB schema ( advanced install ) is installing al of its objects in the USERS tablespace and that most ( almost all ) tables do not have any indexes / pk / fk's on them.
Maybe one or two indexes could speed up the ESB repository considerably.
Dave, In the upcoming 10.1.3.3 release is the repository in any way altered? Default tablespace? PK/FK and/or extra indices on certain tables/columns?

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download. Is there a way to save my tabs ?

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download something and it will discard all my tabs. This is incredibly annoying, is there a way to save my tabs ? or get them back when there is no "restore session" button ?

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

I just got an iPad 2 and have not yet synced to my computer. I don't want to have all the duplicate songs in my iTunes. How do I get rid of duplicates?

I just got an iPad 2 and have not yet synced to my computer. I don't want to have all the duplicate songs in my iTunes. How do I get rid of duplicates?

You don't say whether you are on PC or Mac. For Mac there are these two programs which might help (I havn't tried either) :
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/songsergeant.html
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/idupe.html
There are probably similar programs for PCs, but I don't know what they are. On a PC you can hold the shift key and do File > Display Exact Duplicates (without the shift they may not be exact matches) - if one of each duplicate pair has the same date added then you can sort by that and then delete those with (or without) that date.

Unselect all the rows when display my table the first time

Hi all,
When I execute my webdynpro the first time my table is displayed with the first row selected, but this is false, this line is not selected.
If i execute the method get_selected_elements don't return anything in the table, but if i do a Click in this row then works fine.
I tried to unselect all the rows when i display the table the first time in the method WDDOINIT doing the following;
DATA lo_nd_my_table TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA: lt_elements TYPE wdr_context_element_set,
             lo_element TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
             lo_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
lo_nd_my_table = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_my_table ).
lt_elements = lo_nd_my_table->get_elements( ).
LOOP AT lt_elements INTO lo_element.
    lo_element->set_selected( SPACE ).
ENDLOOP.
But, doesn't work...
How can i do it?
Thanks in advance.

hi,Husalban RM     .
You don't need to DE-SELECT each element of the context node.
You can try the following:
lo_node->set_lead_selection_index( -1 ).
"lo_node is the context node which is bound to your table.
Hope it can help you a little.
Best wishes.

It is possible to reset the zoom size.Have you tried [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages|Firefox's zoom feature]]? This will help increase the size of web pages.
* To make things bigger, press '''Ctrl''' and '''&#43''' at the same time.
* To make things smaller, press '''Ctrl''' and '''-''' at the same time.
* To reset the size back to normal, press '''Ctrl''' and '''0''' at the same time.
You can also use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. add-on to change the default zoom level for all websites at once. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
'''Using NoSquint:'''
#After installing NoSquint, make sure you have the Add-on Bar displayed:
#*Right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
#Click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
#*You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but it's not recommended that you go higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
Please let us know if this helped you!
Thank you.

How do I import pictures without getting all the duplicates?

How do I import photos from an external harddrive without getting all the duplicates on my Macbook pro? is there a program to download for that ?

Go in the web and check out 'dupeGuru'. It's not free but might be just the ticket for you.

I'm having trouble converting my RAW files to jpegs. Even though my RAW files are 90MB plus, the jpegs when converted are only around 6MB. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, A

Dear Forum,
I realise this isn’t necessarily your problem, buy I’m having trouble converting my RAW files to jpegs.
Even though my RAW files are 90MB plus, the jpegs when converted are only around 6MB.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
A

HHi Barbara, thanks for replying to my post.
No there's nothing wrong with the Jpegs, but I want to srart uploading images for sale in Alamy, but they say they must be a minimum of 17mb un compressed. Does that mean that at 6mb compressed from 90mb they'd be acceptable?
thanks,
alex

Why all the methods in interface should be implemented

why all the methods in interface should be implemented

Because you'll break the contract saying "this instance features all methods defined in that interface" otherwise.
In other words, as long as an interface isn't completely implemented by an instance, it's not validly implemented at all.

Setfilter to display all the duplicate rows pb7

Friends,
my version is powerbuilder 7.
i am checking the duplicate rows in the datawindow before inserting.
in a button click event...i have the below code
dw_master.SetSort ("rollno A")
dw_master.Sort()
dw_master.SetFilter("rollno = rollno[-1]")
dw_master.Filter()
if dw_master.RowCount() > 0 then
MessageBox('Duplicate Rows','Check the Duplicate Roll numbers',StopSign!,OK!)
Return 1
end if
//no dups, so clear the filter and do the update...
dw_master.SetFilter ("")
dw_master.Filter()
i have 2 duplicate rows...but this setfilter is displaying only one row....
if it displays all the duplicate rows then it will be very useful for me...
how can i modify this code to get all the duplicate rows in this datawindow before inserting?
thanks

Instead of a filter you could do this...
boolean lb_dupe_found=false
long ll_row, ll_rowcount
string ls_val1, ls_val2
ll_rowcount = dw_1.rowcount()
for ll_row = 2 to ll_rowcount
ls_val1 = dw_1.getitemstring(ll_row, 'col1')
ls_val2 = dw_1.getitemstring(ll_row -1, 'col1')
if ls_val1 = ls_val2 then
// duplicate
lb_dupe_found = true
exit
end if
next
if lb_dupe_found then
messagebox('DUPE', 'Houston we have a problem!')
else
messagebox('SAVE', 'Data valid for saving')
end if
