I have an HTC phone that keeps sending duplicate text messages because it thinks delivery is failing. Except they're sending out fine. So now I just send out 8 text messages every time I try to send something. How do I fix this?

I've got a ton of MP3's, I've finally got (most) of them tagged correctly, but now I need to weed out the dupes. Some albums I have fully duplicated, some albums only one or two songs, but I've got lots of duplicates and I need a good way to get rid of them. I'm on Windows, and would really not like to install iTunes if I don't have to. Help!

Are there any Windows programs that can compare two image files and tell me if they're duplicates or not, ignoring different metadata and file formats?

Thanks to the recent iTunes update, my Outlook 2007 calendar is riddled with duplicates. Both the free apps I know about haven't worked properly and I'm loath to pay money for such a simple application. Do you have any recommendations?

For some reason my iPhone's on-board calendar comprises no fewer than eight calendars. My appointments are strewn across the calendars quite randomly. When I add a new appointment, sometimes yet another calendar is created. The only way for me to view my appointments in a comprehensible fashion is to view "All". How do I bring an end to this preposterous state of affairs? Is there a way to merge all my calendars into one? I am a Mobile Me subscriber.

Looking for a tool that can take multiple RSS feeds, strip duplicate entries and output a single feed. None of the RSS meshing tools I'm seeing seem to offer the duplicate removal. I'm subscribed to searches through 20+ feeds to make sure I catch all available references of a URL on blogs, courtesy of
MonitorThis, but the number of duplicates is becoming a big problem.

iTunes is creating duplicate copies of everything - and isn't faring too well with the id3 tags, either.

I wish the Find Duplicate Songs feature in iTunes was a little fuzzier in its matching capabilities. The way it works now is that the artist and the song title have to match
exactly for it to count it as a match, which works well enough, but over the years I've had some files sneak in with (or without) a 'the' at the beginning of the song title. iTunes will not match those.

Is there a way for the computer/a program to search for multiple duplicate files on a computer?
I also remember a program that used a pie chart to show you what is taking up the most space on the computer? What files and folders?
Help!
