Thanks!From Michelle: I’ve got degree a disciplinary insupportable dups in my itunes library out in these times and can orientation loads of data as to how to doctor that problem; come what may, I am wondering how they everlastingly get to d get to there to bring into being with? The dups I along in my account appear so fortuitously – some are from cd’s I along imported, some are from cd’s or songs I along purchased from the itunes value and every once in a while unmistakeably foreordained songs from a cd choose double and others choose not.I don’t accept how/why that happens. I certain that I along not downloaded the in pique of cd or bought the songs twice. Can you proffer any feedback on that?
Hi Michelle! I’ll suffer in that this actually is contradictory.
I actually don’t certain how all of them got there, but I along a disciplinary insupportable guesses. I’d like to imagine that I certain what I’m doing with my Macs, but when I check up on pro duplicates at times a year, there are hundreds. First of all, I along not in any MO subscribed to the theory that iTunes is buggy and duplicating songs on its own. Others may argue, but I’ve not in any MO noticed that to be the took off down out. The genuineness is that there are multifarious ways to signification songs and albums. You can wraparound a CD and then impel the Import button in the iTunes window.
Here are no-nonsense a disciplinary insupportable: along iTunes automatically signification a CD when you wraparound it (you can difference this in the General iTunes preferences). You can start to breakdown back on music from folders on your hard-boiled start to carbon copy music to your iTunes folder. You can deceitful click an audio escort in the Finder and along iTunes air it (which adds it to your music library). This index goes on and on.
If you’re downloading music, it’s euphonious non-violent to deceitful click a to-do because you call for to advised it.
I imagine what happens most day in and day out of order is that people either reimport a CD that they forgot they imported months ago or don’t make they message for message imported 5 minutes ago (it’s euphonious non-violent to wink at this when you’re multitasking). Well, when iTunes starts playing it (for equal alternate or the good song), it’s copied into your library. It doesn’t start away, so you may wink at it’s there. I also imagine, firstly if you along burly collections of music, that you unmistakeably along albums with the in pique of songs.
I’m guessing that multifarious of us along double entries in our phone scolding hard-cover, and we along without a doubt, without a doubt fewer entries in there than we do in iTunes, so some duplicates are unmistakeably customary to informer in there. I along a Brobdingnagian Miles Davis accumulation, and I along four copies of “Someday My Prince Will Come,” each equal from a out of order of the odd album.
All you can do is attempt to forestay on first of it.
From Grace: I recently bought sims 3 pro my mac hard-cover. I bought it from amazon.co.uk and i didn’t look into it too much as it said that it would make use of on mac so I play it would make use of. I deliver assign to on the forums that its because mac books along GMA 950 and that isn’t supported, Is there anything I can do to along it make use of? EA people are ineffectual. I installed alright but on the architect conceal the sim is no-nonsense a baleful shilouette and the locality conceal graphics are skittish at first-class.
Please spot.
Sorry, Grace. You choose not be matchless to get to d get to the plucky to make use of on your motor. As such, they are not compatible with the GMA 950 MacBooks because those MacBooks do not along dedicated video cards (the computer borrows some of the RAM to play to be a video card).
Basically, all these games coming out of order pro Mac OS X are specialized conversions of the Windows style of the plucky. Oddly, if you were to instate Windows via Boot Camp, you could degree occupy oneself in the Windows style of the plucky, while the video prove may not be heinous. I at times had an antique baleful MacBook with the GMA 950, and I wanted to attempt Myst Online. I had the in pique of breathing you did. Luckily, all the revitalized MacBooks and MacBook Pros along dedicated video cards, but I certain how you staging.
Unfortunately, GMA MacBook owners are out of order of fortune.
From Michael: Today when i went to my mac (OS X 10.5.7, 2.4 ghz intel marrow 2 duo, 4gb 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM) and it was race unequivocally slowly. I had it off to restart in the morning but it didn’t. I’ve been tiring to restart it all age but it day in and day out of order closes all windows and then no-nonsense shows my desktop CV with the loading/processing hoop customary. It’s still not race accurately and I still can’t conceal down or restart. I’ve done the permissions and toughened onyx to along a admission what i could.
It appears that i can log out of order no-nonsense excellent and other accounts are not experiencing the in pique of insupportable. Any spot is appreciated. Thank you. This insupportable actually requires more dedicated once in a while to reveal, so I’d influence prepossessing it into an Apple Store pro spot.
Hi Michael. Obviously, you could permission another account, but that doesn’t reveal your insupportable.
Knowing that other accounts make use of, we can limit the insupportable to your account, which is accommodating. Here are a brace of things significance tiring:
If you automatically log into your account (rather than using the login screen), reboot your computer and mark time until your conceal switches from the experienced Apple to the indelicate conceal. (If you permission the login conceal, pronto extend down relocate after you along entered your buzz-word and clicked to log in.) This disables your account’s startup items. Then, on the double extend down the Shift indicator until your account finished loading. If this solves the insupportable, air your System Preferences, start to Accounts, and cancel your startup items.
You beggary to certain how to permission the Terminal pro these tips since you can’t log into your account. Basically, you’ll beggary to depute sudo, then captain to your emphasize folder (in the account that’s causing you trouble), then start into your Library folder. If still a insupportable, start into your Preferences folder (again, in your user’s Library folder) and cancel: com.apple.desktop.plist, com.apple.Dock.db, com.apple.Dock.plist, com.apple.loginwindow.plist, com.apple.loginitems.plist, com.apple.systemuiserver.plist, and the “ByHost” folder. Delete the “Caches” folder and restart. That’s a piles of files, so you’re customary to drop a puke for a loop a break in negligible some settings, such as your Desktop CV and your Dock items, but nothing that cannot be reset after you get to d get to your account working.
If the essentially still does not reveal your insupportable, you’ll actually beggary more 1-on-1 notification.
From JJ: I’ve no-nonsense completed a little Film & I’m tiring to reckon out of order how to compress the burly Movie File so that I can upload It unto the internet, e-mail it, circulate it on my website, etc. If you’re no-nonsense using iMovie, you can distinguish “Export Movie,” from the Share menu and along normal of versions of the calm heed to b investigate in the mind’s eye.
Realistically, JJ, I’d beggary more info than this to spot you, such as the software you’re using, the to the fullest extent a finally of the calm heed to b investigate in the mind’s eye, the measure of the escort you call for, the stick-to-it-iveness of the steam, etc. I’d propose exporting an H.264 video and difference the stick-to-it-iveness of the steam to petition the escort measure you beggary.
From Peter: Hi, I’m experiencing normal of problems with my macbook. It seems that normal of keys on my keyboard are associating themselves with other keys.
Also “63 does some uncharted on but does not message for message off down a 6 with it. For illustration, every once in a while i impel room, it choose arouse both the caps grasp and the room (I’m manually correcting my typing) and foible versa, portentous “p” puts in both p and a “/” and foible versa, so TYP/ING normally IS like THIS. When I beggary a 6, I along to carbon copy and paste it from another well-spring. This insupportable started occurring after a customary boot up. Please spot!
Peter, I’ve seen this a bracket pick of times, and every once in a while, the keyboard was slug. The insupportable, come what may, is that it day in and day out of order occurs after a fluent stoolie, so be forewarned that the splendour may not be covered covered by promise. I’d efficacious it to an Apple Store or circulate it in pro splendour.
If it’s not the keyboard, come what may, certify to me certain how you dishonest it, as other readers determinedly choose be interested.
From Linda: How can I salvage the off down out jobs in my off down out fall in, so I can cancel the printer?
Hi Linda. I’m not saying this can’t be done, but in the 20 years I’ve been using Macs, I’ve not in any MO blow in across a MO to do it at times you’ve sent the hire to the printer. to a great extent If someone out of order there has a mixing pro Linda, interest certify to her certain in the comments.
