Why do I have duplicate icons of Safari after Lion install?

I recently installed Lion and later found out that Safar, DVD Player, Photobooth, and Preview all have duplicate icons. One seems to be the older version while the other is the newer version with the new Full screen feature. Just to note, all those apps were in folders before I installed Lion but now I can't even take them out of the folder. I says I can't modify or delete them since OSX needs them. what do I do?

I had the same problem. Then I went into my applications folder and found older versions for the same app; i.e. Pages and Keynote. Once I deleted the older versions, (this does not delete anything you created from them since they would transfer to the most recent version) I went into Launchpad and saw that the old icon's were gone. Pretty simple procedure.

Why do i have duplicate notes on my iPhone even so en settings on all is iCloud the only one check?

Why do I have duplicate notes on my iphone all my settings are check for the icloud only on iphone, ipad and macbook?

This is not due to malware on your iPhone. There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPhone, unless it has been jailbroken (ie, hacked to run apps from outside the App Store).
Someone hacked your e-mail remotely. Changing your password should remove access, but the spammer can still spoof your e-mail address on the From line and continue sending messages that look like they're coming from you. There's not much you can do about that except alert your contacts and wait for the spammer to stop and move on.
Alternately, some e-mail accounts provide features that can allow a hacker continued access even after you change the password. GMail, for example, has a delegation feature that can be used to give someone else access, and hackers have been known to use this feature to maintain access across password changes. I am unfamiliar with Windows Live Email, but you should check for any similar delegation features.

Do you see two versions of iMovie in your Application folder?
You can drag the icons out of the dock and then drag what you want back to the dock from the Application folder.

Why do I have duplicate Apps in Launchpad

I just installed Lion this morning and really like the interface. It is really nice.
I have duplicate icons for things like Address Book, App Store, Calculator, iCal, etc.
Is there a way to remove the duplicates?

They may be different versions of the same app. Click on each and make sure that you keep the most up-to-date version. You can remove the older versions by clicking and holding on an icon, they will all shake and have a big X in the upper right hand corner, clicking on the X will remove the app, both from Launchpad and your app folder.

Why does my airport wifi icon now say "No Hardware installed" It has been working for ever

Why does my airport wifi icon now say "No Hardware installed" It has been working for ever

This message comes up when your Mac no longer recognizes that there is an operational AirPort card installed. This can be due to a number of reasons, including card or antenna cabling failure.
You can try either a PRAM or SMC reset. Which you choose will depend on the exact model of your Mac, but most likely, a visit to your local Apple Store is in order.

An older iTunes will not open the library once used by a newer version.
iTunes 10.6.3 will work with iOS6 as long as the hardware doesn't post-date the release of 10.7 Use iTunes 10.6.3 on both machines.

Why do I have duplicate App Icons on my new iPod Touch?

Just got the new 5th gen iPod Touch yesterday and already LOVE it--just couldn't be happier, except for one thing:
Installed all of my apps last night, and for some reason there are duplicate icons for three of them--GetGlue, Google+, Google Voice, and YouTube.
They are in my "Social" folder on my home screen, and they work just fine. But there's a second set of those four that say "Installing" under each one; I've moved the duplicates to another folder on the second page of my home screen to hide them, but they are really bothering me--I don't want any clutter or issues on my new device.
I cannot delete these duplicate icons, when I tap and hold to enter edit mode, they do NOT have the little "x" in the corner to tap for deletion.
Any ideas? I spent forever getting my new iPod Touch set up last night, downloading all my music, etc. I really don't want to have to start from scratch again on day two.

Try restarting your iPod or turning it off and switching in on again. It worked for me.

Why do I have 2 icons for WD Mybook Edition II?

I have two icons on my desktop title line (don't know if this is correct name for the top horizontal bar) for my WD Mybook Edition II backup. I had a problem with the WD a few months ago and I somehow got it fixed but am unsure how that happened. Now I notice the two WD icons and don't know what to do with them. I don't know how to delete one of the icons or even if I should delete one of them. Each icon, when I hover over them, have the same information about version number, etc. in them.
There is a notice at the top of this discussion space that says, "A recovered version of this content exists from Jul 12, 2013 10:46 AM. Would you like to use the recovered version or delete it?". I'm not even sure what content that is referring to, or whether I should "use recovered" or "delete recovered". I hope someone can help sort this out for me.

Ok. Thanks. I will see if I can see evidence of a duplicate and delete it. Or I will call WD. I looked into WDs Q&As and couldn't find an appropriate response. There was a comment that they did not answer questions if you used Apple Time Machine - which I do. I do remember having a problem where I had an alert about the WD MyBook and to run the manager. I didn't know what that was so tried to find it. Without really understanding what I did, the alert disappeared and the WD Mybook was working again. It wasn't until now that I noticed the double icons.
I really appreciate your responses. I'll look into your suggestions to see if I can find some way to get rid of the extra.

Why do i have duplicate calendars?

I noticed this morning that I have duplicate calendars showing duplicate events on all of my devices: iMac 2011, MacBook Pro Retina 2014, iPad Air and iPhone 4S. All with latest system updates. Only the calendar for my school events (which I use most actively) shows as duplicated, others remain normal. I followed the instructions on Apple's troubleshooting page: I checked that all relevant services were shown green on their system status page. Then I went to iCloud.com and checked whether on not the calendars and/or events were shown twice there as well. I saw two calendars for my school events by the same name, one with purple color that I remember choosing, and another with blue color that I think is the default color for new calendars, and that which I had not chosen. But check this: The events on iCloud calendars were NOT duplicated, but randomly shared by these two calendars. Meaning some of my school events were purple, some were blue. I have always used only one calendar for my school, the purple one.
Let me recap:
On all my devices: Two school calendars with duplicated events, purple and blue.
On iCloud: Two calendars, purple and blue, but no overlapping school events! Both purple and blue events with no apparent logic afaict.
Now the next step on Apple's page was to contact the telephone support. I submitted a contact request, and after a short while an american lady called me and we started trying to sort things out. I tried my best to explain to her my situation, but perhaps because things were quite complicated, and English not being my native language she might not had understood everything. She asked me if I had tried to delete one of the duplicates. No I had not, because even though on my devices the events were shown twice, on iCloud they WEREN'T, and I didn't want to take the risk of losing anything. I think it was at the moment I was explaining this to her when the line dropped, and she never called back.
Having given up on tech support I decided to try fix this on my on and went back to iCloud. I thought if I change all blue events to purple and then delete the blue calendar, I might not lose any events. So I double-click on a blue event, change the calendar back to the original purple and hit ok. I get an error saying "Couldn't save changes to [event's name]. Your changes to this event couldn't be saved because of a server error. Please try again." I report and hit ok. The event is still blue. I double-click it and try to change the event's calendar again. This time I get an error "Couldn't save changes to [event's name]. Your changes to this event couldn't be saved because it was just deleted by another device." I hit ok, and NOW I see two of the same event, one in blue and one in purple. Well at least the event is now supposedly where it should be. I repeat this annoying procedure to all blue events. Then I try to delete the wicked blue calendar, praying I won't lose anything important. Of course I get an error: "Couldn't save changes to [calendar's name]. Your changes to this calendar couldn't be saved because it was just updated by another device." So I go and try again, it worked for the events. And this time the calendar is gone!
But wait. The events of the purple calendar are now duplicated. So I only got rid of the calendar clone, but I still have events shown twice.
I'm getting way too tired to work on this any futher. Why is iCloud acting like this?

Highlight a song. Press command+r to reveal the song in Finder. Do that for the duplicate. Are they in the same location? You can also check this by getting info on a file and checking its location in the summary info, then check for the other file.
If you have a file in a folder that itunes doesn't control and then add the file to itunes it will place a cpy in the itunes folder when you add the file, leaving the original. Not sure how you ended up with two in itunes but I'd need to know the details of your preference settings.
I don't know about the rest. I have never bought music from ITMS.
