Vivid Sydney is a festival of light, music and ideas across the city. It’s the biggest festival of its kind that includes large-scale light installations and projections through to music performances, ideas and creative summits.

One of the main attraction is the Opera House as always which features the Lighting of the Sails a spectacular illumination of the Sydney Opera House sails that shines in different colour schemes every few minutes.

Despite the poor Sydney whether the past few weeks (rain, wind and chilly temperatures) that most likely will last the next few days, I managed to get some time to take night shots of the Sydney Opera House last Friday after my work of course.

Here are some of my photos.

I haven’t been to other venues like the St. Mary’s Cathedral, Macquarie Street, Museum of Contemporary Art and The Rocks. If the weather will improve, I will take night shots of these venues as well.

Finally, I was able to take few shots of St. Mary's Cathedral.

I will post all Vivid Sydney photos in my photo gallery soon. Enjoy!

Tired of seeing duplicate tracks in your iPhone or iPod and starting your playlist to find the same songs playing over and over caused by duplicates. If the only problem is duplicate tracks in iTunes library and not duplicate files in your drive then here's a trick to remove all duplicate tracks in your iTunes media library then synchronize it with your device again.

Manual Solution:

1. Use iTunes built-in “Find Duplicates” feature to find the duplicate tracks in iTunes. – (this doesn’t affect your drive yet).
2. Highlight the resulting tracks in your iTunes Library and then drag the tracks from iTunes to a new Folder on your drive.
3. This will make a complete copy of your Library (without any duplicates)
4. Delete every track in iTunes and every file in your original Library on your drive.
5. Then, either move the contents of your new Folder to your Library folder and drop the Library Folder back into iTunes, or just tell iTunes that your Library has moved to the new Folder.

You’ll now have a new Library with no duplicates.

However, if the *files* (on the hard drive) are duplicated (because of different folder/file names), then the solution is tedious and requires a lot of temp disk space.
