Why are songs duplicated when I drag and drop them?

I am using iTunes 7.02, not that that matter, since the problem has happened in previous versions too....
Anytime I drag a folder of songs into the iTunes window to add them to the library (i.e. from a folder on the desktop) the songs are all added to the library, but they are duplicated (two of each song, identical and both playable).
Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it? Is there some simple setting that I have wrong in the preferences or something?

I think the reason OE shows the original date is because each message is stored as a single file, whereas TB stores all messages in a folder in one file, an mbox file. So, when you save a message as a single eml file, its 'date modified' is the date the eml file was first written from the mbox file.
You may find the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ ImportExportTools] add-on useful as it lets you add the date of the email to the eml file name when the email is exported ('Save selected messages' from the message(s) right-click menu).

ITunes locks up when I drag-and-drop video file into library

I have some videos that I have on my computer that I want to add to my library but when I drag and drop them into my library iTunes freezes. I never had any problems with this before. The format is right. I used a program to convert them and other videos worked but this one.

What version of iMovie?
What Device?
Have tried to restart, soft reset your device?
What is the video audio source?
This forum is for iMovie iOS (ipads & iphones).
Are you referring to iMovie Mac?
If so I can get your post moved.

Cannot get a 1 second transition when I drag and drop 2 or more subclips

Hi I am having a problem with subclips not using the default transition of 1 second when I drag and drop them onto the canvas. I have read about file handles and I have made sure that the subclips are long enough for a 1 second transition.
Here are my steps so that you can simulate it.
- get a sample clip (a few minutes)
- double click it and creat an in / out point .
- then create a subclip (Apple U) that is say 30seconds-1 minute.
- create another subclip from the main clip of about a miute long as well.
- select and then drag / drop them onto the canvas (not timeline) using a transition (which is the default transition of 1 second).
- once the clips (2) go to the timeline you can see that they have a transition of 12 frames not 1 second long.(double clip on the transition in the timeline)
I have tried all sorts of things and clearing out prefernces and wipe reinstall, but I cant drag and drop and get a 1 second transition on a subclip
my setup is:
final cut 6
leopard
mini (intel)
hope you can help -
TIA
Aussie A

I should add that I am getting a transition of length 12 frames but not the full default 1 second (24 frames) transition length.

When i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop

when i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop just one album without making settings changes?

The first ever Sync of 12,000 songs to an empty iPod will take a while, but it shouldn't take two days.
Once all 12,000 songs have been Synced to the iPod, subsequent changes to just one album will result in a very short Sync time. That Sync will include:
the change to that one album
play counts on iPod updated into your iTunes Library
Smart Playlists updated: some complex Smart Playlists are not always updated by the iPod but have to wait for a Sync with the Library.
housework - in other words, behind the scenes tasks that we don't need to see.
Those subsequent Syncs do not sync every single song every time.
So, stick with Syncing. If the first Sync of all your songs is taking too long, try syncing part of the Library (say one or two genres) the first time, a further part the second time and so on. After all, with a Library that large, manually managing the iPod will be a source of torture.

Hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

hello, does anyone know why when i drag and drop from the internet,why my images never show up?

I'm wanting to drag images from the internet into a folder on my desktop or hard drive. I am used to being able to drag just about any image from any website off the web and into a folder on my old mac, but since I got my laptop, I've noticed I cannot do that. Is it a preference?

Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder

Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder
I saw the option only one time, and i reseach in the internet and I find fuse option, but now never saw again.
And Yes, I drag folders with the same name.

Ok, Gracias por su pronta respuesta, yo necesito arrastar una carpeta a otra ubicacion con una carpeta del mismo nombre, entiendo que lion te advierte si desea reemplazar el contenido o fusionar (mexclar el contenido)
como lo dice aqui :

3. Podrás combinar tus archivos y carpetas. Seguro que alguna vez has perdido algún archivo al combinar carpetas o archivos del mismo nombre pero distinto contenido. Ahora, cuando intentes mover una carpeta a un lugar con otra de idéntico nombre, tu equipo te preguntará si prefieres combinar ambas o cambiar una por otra. Los archivos serán tratados de una manera similar: Cuando coincidan archivos con el mismo nombre, el sistema te preguntará también si quieres mantener ambas copias.
y en muchas otras paginas que tratan el tema.
mi problema es que esa opcion no me aparece. solo la opcion de reemplazar (o no reemplazar o detener)
Lo increible es que alguna vez el mismo dia de hoy si me aperecio la opcion.

Why is Photoshop always adding 1 Pixel to y when i drag and drop Assets?

When you drag and drop a external Image as a new layer into a photoshopdokument, there is always this one pixel from above (y+1) when placing.
Is there a deeper sence behind this? I dont get that.
Why cant Photoshop place it at coordinates 0/0 ?

I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
To resolve it from within Itunes I did : Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
Click OK.
Closed iTunes/
Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
Works fine now.

If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc. you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder.
You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it.
You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library.
If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod. I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard.

When i drag and drop an image on my site. it gives the following error. "Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follo"

I am using the firefox version 17 and when i drag and drop an image on my website. It gives me the following error.
Unable to access local files due to browser security settings. To overcome this, follow these steps: (1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again. Or go to the homepage for a link to the tutorial on how to do it.
I have completed the above steps and it is still showing the same error message. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks kumars ,
I have a specific drag and drop area on our website. This works fine for all earlier releases of Firefox after these security settings
"(1) Enter "about:config" in the URL field; (2) Right click and select New->Boolean; (3) Enter "signed.applets.codebase_principal_support" (without the quotes) as a new preference name; (4) Click OK and try loading the file again."
Bust these settings not work for me in Firefox 17.
Yes the drag and drop functionality is java script based and i am not using any script blocker addons.

When I drag and drop a wav file into garage band it is rejected. How to imposrt a wav file?

Hi Everyone,
I want to edit a voice recording, done in WMA format, in Garage Band.
I saw a video in which the fie is simply draged and dropped in the timeline area, and the time line appears. Then youcan edit it.
But when I drag and drop this WMA file into the editing area, it jumps back out to where I dragged it from.
Is there any way to import WMA files intoGarage Band?
Thank you, Giorafromny

not directly, you'll need to use some software to convert it to a format supported by GB:

When I drag and drop an icon from the address bar to the desktop is does creat the shortcut but will not display the website icon, only the firefox icon, how can I display website icons?

When I drag and drop a website icon from the Forefox address bar to the desk top, the short cut is created but the icon that appears is the firefox Icon. I want to disply the icon from the website that the short cut refers to. I have checked all I can think of in my computer to no avail.

You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new folder?

Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new layer folder instead of the bottom? It annoys me that they always go to the bottom and I inevitably always need them at the top.
Thanks

Hi there
ok so PS CS6 if I grab a layer in Group A (yes layer sets sorry) and drop it into Group B, itll put it under anything thats already in Group B, which annoys me! Is there a way of telling PS to default anything dragged from one group to another to default the newly added layers to the top

ITunes doesn't provide the ability to upload media from the iPod/Iphone. Why is this and why can't it be a drag and drop option as windows

iTunes doesn't provide the ability to upload media from the iPod/Iphone. Why is this and why can't it be a drag and drop option as windows

Because Apple have designed it that way.
It's actually against the (Apple) rules of this forum to speculate about Apple's decisions, so if perhaps you should ask your question on a more appropriate (non-Apple) forum. If you continue the discussion here, you could simply find that your post gets removed by the moderators.
