I have to remove the duplicate files, but having problems by selecting more than one file in the player at the time.

I have to remove the duplicate files, but having problems by selecting more than one file in the player at the time. How can I select multiple files at the same time so I can just delete them. I used to be able to do this in previous versions of Media Player, but this function seems now blocked or unavailable. The problem is this: through previous use of media player, it plays all my multimedia files several times whenever a device support has been added. He would try to save the files on my main drive, but since there is not enough room this would save the files somewhere else. This happened several times, I suppose, because when I upgraded my computer and a media scan was conducted he found duplicates of all my media various times of at least 6-8. I've consolidated since my plates on 3-disc multi to, but have now records duplicated hundreds and thousands of duplicate media files. Previous versions of Media Player would allow me to select all files and then delete them both of the reader, but also from my hard drive. So now I'm stuck with more than 300 GB of duplicate media I have to search line by line through all my hard drives to find each duplicate both, unless I can get media player to do what it can. Any help in this area would be appreciated.

Hello

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2. is Windows media player files in double creation during playback of music files?

To delete duplicate entries, click on another feature tab in the drive (for example the current playback), and then click library.

If this does not remove duplicates from your library, you can use the Add to library dialog box to search computer to analyze a file on your computer the duplicate entries not valid-pointing. The player will remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder.

Complete the steps above for files that are stored in the hard disks.

Method 1: Use the add to Library dialog box search for computers

(a) start Windows Media Player.

(b) press F3 on your keyboard to open Add to the library of the find computers dialog box.

(c) click the Browse button to locate the folder on your computer so that your library contains invalid entries. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.

If you are not sure what duplicate in your library entry is not valid, you can add a path column to display in your library. Specify the folder on your computer that corresponds to the path not valid file displayed in your library.

(d) click on the Search button.

The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder that you specify and remove invalid entries in your library that point to files that no longer exist in the folder. If not valid in double entries point to other folders on your computer, repeat this procedure, specify a different folder every time.

If only a small number of duplicate entries exist, you can delete those invalid manually by right-clicking on the invalid entry, and then clicking Delete .

For large double-number of entries in your library (or if all your library is duplicated), it might be better to create a new library and delete the files.

Method 2:

After you remove the duplicate entries, run the troubleshooting of Windows Media Library settings to solve this problem.

  • I can't select more than one object with the SHIFT key, selected in the last Muse app

    Someone who uses the worm. last Muse CC 2014 with Mac OS 10.10.2 and had a problem of selection of several objects by using the Shift key and hold the method has a work around. It's frustrating to try to select several objects and this simple technique does not. This same shift-SELECT approach works fine on the same calculation with other products Adobe such as PS, AI, Id etc.

    I tried your suggestion to select multiple layers but no joy and no floating above the ones I had to choose. I discuss with a representative of Adobe this morning and discovered that it is possible to select more than one by dragging on the elements with the selection arrow. This forces me to block these unwanted layers selected in this shotgun approach first. It's my best work around so far. Shift-click works in the old Muse vs7.4.30 app on the same computer. I enjoyed your suggestion and hope there is a fix for the simple approach shift-click.

  • It is possible to select more than one layer by selecting the first and the last layers?

    I frequently get Illustrator files which are individual objects such as the paths on separate layers that can be grouped together to make the shorter layers. I find that I have to change click on each individual layer to select it to finally bring together them. Sometimes, I have 25 or so layers that I need to select. Is there a way to select the first and the last layer in the layers palette and have Illustrator select all the layers in the meantime?

    Don't know about the selection of layers of first/last, but to select several consecutive layers in the layers palette...

    Option-click on (Mac) on a layer to select it and, with the option always pressed key, drag to the bottom of the list - DO NOT slip on as logical target icons you like.  When you drag to the bottom of the list of layers, the icons of the target will become selected.

    Shift + Option-click allows you to ignore the layers and continue to select consecutive additional layers on the bottom of the palette.

    Note: Drag slowly or some layers would not choose.

    Strange, I know.  It took me years to come across this.

  • How can I select more than one bookmark at a time so that I can open and then several bookmarks - without the aggravation of back to the list and selecting and opening each one.

    My dozens of bookmarks, I often want to open 5 or 6 of them at the same time - maybe a couple of weather reports, a couple of radio stations, a couple of other Web sites. But I see no way to do this without laboriously find a bookmark, select it, opening the site, then return to the Favorites, find the second bookmark, select it, open the site and so on. There is probably a way for me to select several independent bookmarks, then open them at the same time. Thanks a lot for your help. Don

    Oh I see, when I read your question, my understanding is that you have Web sites that you are opening regularly you would like to open all at once. This is why I have proposed to create a folder with these specific bookmarks.

    However, your clarification, it seems that you want to open Web sites randomly here and there. So, essentially, you want to SELECT favorite sites and then open them at the same time.

    There is a way to do it. Access your bookmarks by clicking on the menu button drop-down orange Firefox (upper-left). It is:

    • Go to \Firefox\Bookmarks\Show all bookmarks;
    • Click on "Bookmarks Menu" (in the sidebar);
    • Use the CTRL key to select your favorite Web sites.
    • Right click and choose "all open tabs.

    It's always a bit laborious, but it's the easiest way, I could find, especially if you want to open several tabs at the same time.

  • Install more than one exe to a folder or in subfolders of the same folder

    Hello!
    I want to do at least one of the following conditions:

    1. I want to install several exes (built with LV app builder) in a directory because they go hand in hand.
    2. make several subfolders under the same top-level folder EAT install exe in each of them.

    (Upper level) should be the folder of "society". The subfolders are for applications.
    For example:
    c:\company\app1\app1.exe
    c:\company\app1\app1setup.exe
    c:\company\app2\app2.exe
    etc.
    This can also be in the folder "program files".

    If I try to do, I have a few problems of implementation of the construction specifications. If I have more than one generation standard for the exe I can't add in the same folder. At least if they contain the same external files, such as DLLs.
    If I try to do by exe installer, I get an error message telling me that the same folder (my "upper tier") already exist in the registry and cannot be added again. This is also true if I try to do a new project instead of having to install several specifications in a project to build.

    I use Labview 2009 (engl.) Windows Vista (in German).

    If someone has a help for me or similar encounters problems please let me know.

    Holger

    Ok

    for the records: I found out what was the problem (and the solution).

    Both my needed apps the same external DLL. While this should be no problem it caused the new Builder installer/app and me the headaches. The new app Builder seems to build its internal paths in the registry. If you select more than one target of generation 'exe', he gets into trouble if more than one using a subdirectory 'data' with the same DLL and each subdirectory using the name of 'data' of sugested.

    The solution is simple: just give each target generation "exe" a subdirectory 'data' different like data1, data2 etc. and the problems disappear.

  • Camera Raw CS4: cannot open more than one file?

    It is a very strange problem. I recently installed CS4 and started using it with a Canon 5 d RAW files Mark II camera. By choosing File-> open as-> Camera Raw, I can't select more than one raw file in the file dialog box. I can not open a single raw, no problem, but no matter what I try, or ctrl-A, now the SHIFT key or ctrl does not allow me to open several files. With the CS3 version, that it worked well.

    Is there a setting in preferences to control this (seems very strange there)

    PS: I see that there are two selections available in the list Camera Raw file types: what is the difference between them?

    Thank you

    If they are raw files, then simply use File-> open, you just go the file-> open as a route if you want to open JPEGs in Camera Raw without going through the bridge.

    There is no point in listing of camera Raw file formats because each device produces its own version anyway, one. CR2 file produced by a camera is not the same as that produced by another camera, the Camera Raw plugin must be constantly updated.

  • Removing duplicates, I usually have to remove the song duplicate twice to make it disappear. Why?

    When you remove duplicate songs, I usually have to remove the song duplicate twice to make it disappear. Why?

    When I delete the duplicate song it pops up again. When I erase it a second time he remains missing.   After the first removal, he reappeared with a little cloud in an arrow down. Once I have remove that she remains missing.

    Is it possible that I can delete a song in one operation?

    iTunes 12.3.3 on Mac Pro Tower

    Looks like you have an iCloud music library, Subscribe to Match iTunes Apple music (or both).  The first time, you probably delete the local copy of the song file (stored on the storage of your computer).  But the song still in your iCloud library, so it appears in your list of music library with the cloud with the arrow symbol (which you can click to download it again).  You can still play the song streaming from iCloud.  The second time, you delete the song completely within your music to iCloud library.

    You can see the distinction if you right click on a song (which is stored locally) in iTunes.  On the shortcut menu that appears, there are two separate, Remove Download and deletecommands.  Remove Download removes the local copy of the song file, but keeps the song in your music to iCloud libraryDelete deletes the song completely, with a single action.

I scanned the computer with the MacAfee Scan more and I got a message that I have more than one firewall installed, product that could create problems on my Pc I have bleive that I only have widows Firewall now. but the analysis said the contrarey.

    (1) using a router?  They usually have a firewall.

    2) go to control panel and click on security.  Click the down arrow next to firewall and windows will tell you what is running

    (3) you could also look in Control Panel > programs and features for the firewall software like McAfee, ZoneAlarm, or any that you have previously installed.  You can uninstall then from there.  Use the Norton uninstaller to remove the software and/or the traces that were left during uninstall.

    http://us.Norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docURL=20080710133834EN&LN=en_US

    If the computer is slow, check programs and features for applications that are installed but you never or rarely use.  Uninstalling those who help you in speed.  And if you go in program files, search for files left behind from applications already installed.  If more than six months, it is safe to remove them.  Remove temporary files, run disk cleaner, empty the trash, defrag your unit.
