Why all the duplication?

I have 12GB of music on my computer, almost all of it ripped from ny personal CD collection with a few bought from iTunes.
When I added the music to iTunes in order to put it on my iPod it duplicated the entire library so I now have almost 24GB of music with all the music from my personal collection duplicated.
Is there any way to keep the music in the default location in My Music and synch with my iPod without having to pysically have a duplicate copy in the iTunes folder.
Also is there any way iTunes automatically recognizes new music on your computer like Real Player does?

Referring to managing music on the computer without duplicating the library since music exists already on computer. iTunes only.
As to the iPod issue, I was told by apple tech support that to synch with the iPod i have to physically have the files in the iTunes folder. Is that so? If so, how does one get around that?

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.

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.

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?

Why all the Font Explorer X server requests?

I recently upgraded to the paid version of Font Explorer, Linotype's Font Explorer Pro X 3.1, on my Macbook Pro running OSX10.6. Every time I launch the app, it goes through a 3-5 minute process where it gives me the following "Connection failed" modal dialog error about 10 times:
"The server (remote server name here) may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
The server being mentioned is my Mac Pro, which does not (or should not) have any bearing on what Font Explorer X is doing. I have no idea why it needs to access that computer.
I get these messages even when the Macbook is running on the same network with the Mac Pro actually connected and files from that machine open on the Mabook's desktop.
These messages never happened with the free version of Font Explorer X, so I'm at a complete loss as to what's going on. I deleted all files related to Font Explorer, including the .plist preference file and the Linotype folder in Application Support, AND I cleaned the font cache. I re-installed Font Explorer X 3.1 after emptying the trash, rebooting and clearing the PRAM. It went through all the normal motions of setup, indicating that it was a completely clean install. But again it goes through that impossible process every time I launch the app. What gives? Does anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried contacting the developer of the software your using, this is the Apple forum.

Why all the copies of files in Projects?

Looking at the folders in 'Movies' they seem fairly self-explanatory:
'iMovie Events' - contains folders of imported event clips
'iMoview Projects' - contains the current and saved projects
'iMovie Sharing' - seems to hold copies of exports to iTunes in a folder named after the appropriate project, maybe YouTube stuff goes here too but I don't have an account. Not .Mac Gallery movies though.
Anyhow looking at a project folder that is 184.3MB size, 182.3MB of that is taken up my 3 movies:
tiny.3gp
mobile.m4v
large.m4v
The tiny/mobile files are what got uploaded to my .Mac account, and the large.m4v is identical to an m4v file which I exported to AppleTV.
So, what's the problem?
Well, why do I need the copies of things uploaded to .Mac shouldn't they have been deleted after upload?
Why do I need 3 copies (4 if I was syncing the AppleTV) of the large.m4v file?
There's one, large.m4v in the project folder, one in the iTunes subfolder of iMovie sharing, with the actual exported one in my iTunes library (I've checked using Show in Finder).
So for a 6 minute clip of video I've probably got 320MB effectively of 'copies', so it looks as though this application will eat drive space like there's no tomorrow.
Am I missing something or an unselected Preference?

So for a 6 minute clip of video I've probably got 320MB effectively of 'copies', so it looks as though this application will eat drive space like there's no tomorrow.
iMovie '08 operates on a new model as I've said elsewhere in this forum.
DV video is no longer the prefered format for storage - your 6 minute clip would require 1.3 GB if it was in DV form. iMovie '08 is designed to make all your clips easily accessable. You will probably want to store your 'Events' on external drives, and iMovie '08 supports this.
We all have a lot to learn to learn about how to work with iMovie '08.

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?
mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

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.

Disk Utility - why all the authentication prompts?

I tried this question on Usenet first but did not have much response...
I have been experiencing this behaviour with running Disk Utility in a non-admin account. It seems that it is asking me to authenticate as an admin user when it shouldn't be.
Examples:
1) Using DU to unmount or eject either or both partitions on a FW drive prompts me to enter an admin username/password, but I can eject the volumes with Finder with no such prompt
2) After one of the updates (maybe 10.4.5 or 10.4.6, can't remember for sure) I started getting two authentication prompts when repairing permissions. One is expected; but why two?
3) I get prompted to authenticate when erasing a CD-RW. When I reported this to Apple as a bug I got this response: "Please know that our engineers have not been able to reproduce this reported behavior with a non-admin user. For the non-admin user no login prompt was given and cdrw erased with no issues."
4) Entering this into Terminal results in a GUI authentication prompt popping up:
diskutil unmount /Volumes/partition1
But I can run this applescript and it works with no authentication:
do shell script "diskutil unmount \"/Volumes/partition1\""
Is ANY of this happening to anyone else? What's wrong with my system?
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Never mind, I fixed it myself. I fired up OnyX and let it have a go on my boot drive. I let it delete caches, rebuild this and that, pretty much let it do everything it could do. After a reboot now all is okay!

Why all the crashes? Please help.

I can't go a day without multiple crashes. It seemingly all started when I upgraded to Lion.

Why all the sudden are my bookmarks missing and all my addons disabled?

The other day my son told me firefox crashed now when I open it all my bookmarks are missing and all of my addons are disabled. Not sure if he did something or if FF updated causing the issue. Looks like current version using is 9.0.1 Yahoo edition which i don't think is version I've been using. Can I see if this is a recent update & if I can go back to previous version which contains all my bookmarks and addons I had set up? Don't know what to do.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available.
