Duplicate in APERTURE ???

However, excuse for bad in English, I has urgent questions to the APERTURE forum.
- Unfortunately, from iPhoto I could fade in no events about " iPhoto overview " in APERTURE import, the window remained mostly empty.
- How can I find in duplicates APERTURE and delete, with the import of iPhoto-Library I came a little bit in a mess?
- Are there for additional programs APERTURE (Apps) as for example " duplicates of Annihilator " for iPhoto?
Many thanks

There is a Duplicate Annihilator for Aperture, from the same makers too.

If you've imported a Library from iPhoto, are you sure these are duplicates, and not the iPhoto versions brought over? If they are the versions then you can find them with the keywords.

How to find duplicates in aperture

Aperture has no tool to search and remove duplicates. It relies on the option "Do not import duplicates", when you import images to Aperture.
To identify duplicates search for them manually by sorting images by date or filename, or use third party tools.
See Old Toad's list in the pos below: Most of the apps work also for Aperture:
Re: iPhoto not asking about duplicates on importing
i am using PhotoSweeper .It can also identify duplicates in different resolutions or edited duplicates, and lets you control the rules for marking a photo for removal - the newer one, the smaller one, the one without captions or keywords, etc.

Duplicates: Can Aperture Help, using Filename searching?

Assuming you don't check, Do not import duplicates, when you import photos. It's my understanding that Aperture still checks for duplicates, meaning it will look to see if there is a Master already in your Library with the same filename. So, if you change the filename of your Masters when you import them, then Aperture shouldn't find any duplicates.
But, if Aperture does find another Master with the same filename and you keep the duplicate import option unchecked, then Aperture should create the new Master with a different filename. I guessing that whatever Aperture adds to the filename is some kind of a standard suffix, like the number 1 or (1), or something.
If you know what Aperture will always add to a filename in the case of suspected duplicates, then couldn't you search for that info in the filename and create a list of possible duplicates?

Is it possible to search for Duplicates in Aperture v3.1

Hi Guys,
I'm hoping you guys can help me,
I'm re-scanning my family photo archive at a much higher resolution,
and i can't seem to find a way of searching for duplicates of the same image, but at different resolutions.
i have achieved this in the past using "ExpressionMedia2" (previously called "iViewMediaPro"),
This program had a command to "Search for Similar",
with a slider to move from close match to exact match,
which was pretty accurate, no matter what size the images were.
I'm tempted to use this program,
but i'm not sure how Aperture will handle images that have been deleted by another program.
and how can i strip orphaned previews out of the Aperture Library ?
I'm new to Aperture, and like it's way of working,
but, it's very powerful and does have many un-intuitive commands within it
Hoping you guys can help me,
billy

Aperture has no in-library dupe detection. It only has it on import.
As for other apps deleting files from the Aperture library -- they shouldn't do that. If they are merely deleting a file at the Finder level ( that is referenced into AP), then that image will be marked as Missing in Aperture. You can do a Find for all those your self, or you can make a smart album, then delete at your convenience.

Photostream duplicates on Aperture from two iOS devices

I recently have Mountain Lion and set up my iCloud account with Photostream. I have an iPhone4 and iPad2 already set up and it worked like a charm. now i set up Aperture with Photostream, it now starts to collect photostream from both devices and now i have 2 copies of each photo. Is there a way to just have one copy of the photo synched into aperture?
to make it clearer: what happened is, photos i've taken with my iphone are synched to my ipad via Photostream. so both photostreams have basically the same set of photos. Then when i synched into aperture, both of the photostream albums were synched there, now i have duplicate photos (waste of storage space)... Help!

Never mind. After another hour of reading 50 more entries, I found this, and it solved my issues.

Re: iCal EVENTS DUPLICATE and can't delete them May 19, 2010 8:57 AM (in response to rockydog)
I had the same problem (running snow leopard 10.6.3 on Macbook Air). Events i created on non-shared, non-synced calendars could not be deleted or if they could they'd pop up again in seconds. And send me email reminders every 10 mins. VERY ANNOYING.
Tried many things but what finally worked for me is:
Open isync.
go to prefs.
uncheck "Enable syncing on this computer" (it may take a while for this to go from grey to black and let you uncheck it)
click "reset sync history"
go to ical. delete events.
click "reset sync history" again.
RESTART. This is the part that made the whole thing stick.
good luck

Find duplicates in aperture

Is there a way to find duplicates/triplicates of the exact same file, especially the master, in Aperture (and iPhoto and iMovie)?
I'm finding that the longer I have Aperture running (referenced files), seems the more duplicates I am having show up.
Ideas? Solutions?
Thanks so much
Robert

thanks for the replies.
I recently switched from a G5 to th newest macbook pro (circa last fall). I decided that the only option that would keep me running was storage and lots of it, since I dabble somewhat seriously in photos and videos over the last few years.
I originally started with iPhoto, small digital camera on a simple G4 circa 2003 ish. Then I went to a used dual G5 around 2008 ish when I realized I was maxing out the old machine. But there was no going back. I like the interface, products, etc. I purchased Final Cut Express somewhere along the way, eventually got Aperture 2, and that really rocked my world. Put out some amaturish videos, but the family and I had so much fun. Relatives lined up for me to make videos...you probably know how that goes. Had to eventually put a stop to that, way too time intensive.
Cancer hit in 2008, spent 8 months in the hospital and am a different man now. I am alive, grateful to be, but deal with a body that is physically tired and has some ongoing medical challenges.
That leads me to the current.
My oldest daughter graduated from high school in 2011. I purchased her a 15" macbook pro. I did that thinking that I knew a new system was in the near future for me as the IBM chipset was being phased out. I saw the future. Also, the G5 dual was slowing down and it had some odd things about eSata and FW800 that just didn't make for smooth sailing with external hard drives.
I found out at first. I loved having a laptop. But I could not go without massive amounts of expandable storage. Just not an option. But I did discover that FW800 was reliable on her little laptop and that sort of opened doors for me to deal with storage issues.
By now, photos spread between iPhoto, Aperture 2, FCX Videos, and her laptop.
Well, graduation came and went and I had to relent on her laptop. I had just purchased Aperture 3 and was stunned at the amount of upgrades.
That left me with an Ap3 library on her computer, too.
Can y'all sort of get the drift where I'm going?
I now have a G4 (still runs like a charm), a G5, I pulled all her stuff off her MBP and stored it on a new hard drive FW800.
So what does a man who is insane do?
I purchased the latest everything, spared no expense. Ugh, the pocket book hurts. Bad.
But I have to say, Thunderbolt is everything it is cracked up to be. I have been stunned at the speed. I got the 12 TB station primarily as I don't want to keep purchasing this, that, and the other. I want to basically start taking the last 9-10 years of pictures, videos, files, and find a way to organize, clean up, consolidate, and so forth.
Oh, being a redundancy FREAK, I did purchase a drobo and buffalo as random duplicate TM backups and other file backups, nothing more. The Drobo does do hot swapping and such well, but it is S-L-O-W. Painfully so.
The buffalo I had some problems with. Technical support was super and replaced the unit that didn't function. The newer model was rather speedy through ethernet. Not bad, so I put that thing to regular use for redundancy.
I now have files spread out among various computers, large NAS externals, and multiple individual drives (FW800, USB, etc).
Oh, I purchased the thunderbolt display too. That surprised me. Cut down on the number of wires and helped organize the physical lay out.
As photography and such went from physical to digital, so did my camera and video. I went through a few video cameras, , digital cameras, and so forth as things evolved and I tried various formats. That leaves me with various digital formats, including 3G pics, newer iphone 4 and 4s pics/videos.
As all this upgraded, so did iLife and ways to manage data.
Not being a pro, I don't really know about "workflow". It is all fun for me. I did try me hand for a short while last year at a formal photography business, but found out being good at photoshopping pics and fairly decent at taking pics does not mean I would enjoy the "business" of photography. But what does one do at that point? Upgrade to a canon 7d and get a few nice lenses.
My logic was hey, I need this infusion of IViG every 28 days to sustain my life/immune system (chemo destroyed my bone marrow) and this costs about $13,000 every 28 days. Insurance covers most, but bottom line, we were sudden spending about $10,000 a year cash out of pocket. I shut the business down a few weeks ago as I physically am too tired and can't stay focused. Chemo brain is a true phenomenon I have come to find out.
So, after writing this small book to say that I am somehow trying to take the new way of doing things, fast external drive(s) with a laptop and TB display, and now try to clean up and consolidate this mess.
There is redundandcy, a lot of lack of knowledge on my part, and the recent purchases have now allowed me to start trying to get this entire pile of digital spread out jewels of memories into a more cohesive, organized, consolidated system.
Since I had to start referencing Ap3 files, that helped with the storage on the laptop drive. But it caused another problem: I can't see the referenced movie files on iMovie. If I can, I don't know how.
So I am now beginning the cumbersome slow project of pulling everything under the umbrella of iMovie that is movie related, then pulling everything that is a photographic image under the umbrella of Ap3. I had to consolidate various iphoto libraries (found a decent app for that), and so forth.
Yet, as I'm doing all this, I get this feeling that I may not need another set up for a good while. Point being, why not slow down this spurt of energy to organize and consolidate and THINK about it a bit. Ha. right? I mean, I'm doing what I have always done, which is evolve over time and just sort of grow larger and more cumbersome.
When this terribly original idea hit me a few weeks ago, I didn't initially think much about it except "get on it."
Now I'm starting to back up and say to myself, "what if I'm just taking a big conglomeration of so many spread out files, duplicating as I copy, and am not really making for an efficient workflow?"
Workflow is my new buzzword, my new thought. New to me. Quit laughing all you peeps who have it down. Some of us aren't that organized from the front side and look back 20/20 and say how in the world did I get here?
So now I'm reaching out, probably doing the smartest thing I've ever done, and trying to reach out to you all. When someone asked about about workflow, I thought "what does that mean?"
I think I am starting to get what it means, but could use some sharing of ideas/mentoring here. I'm guessing workflow means exactly what I am living: how to organize, move around, handle, and deal with all this data. Am I right on this?
I used to take it to mean, how did I have projects in Ap3 set up. Maybe that is a part of it, but I think (emphasis on think) that I am starting to realize workflow might just have a bigger meaning and application. In other words, how do I plan on organizing and dealing with ALL this digital data.
One example from this morning and I'll stop for the moment to allow for some great feedback. Since I couldn't get iMovie to see the referenced movie files in Ap3 (have preview sharing turned on), I decided that I wouldn't use Ap3 as my movie manager. So I take 420 varying kinds of files from iphones to the canon 7d and export them to my desktop.
Then I started thinking, I had better write all this out and reach out for some help before I just duplicate files and create another digital mess.
I was going to import them into iMovie. Seemed simple. It is, but many are duplicates. Then I thought I would go through and start naming, finding duplicates, blah blah. Talk about time consuming.
I'm willing to do all that if the concensus is that this is the best overall approach.
Someone mentioned the new Final Cut. I've held out, but might consider going that route for managing all movie files.
So here I am with tons of digital everything and I sure could use some wisdom on "workflow", "management," and basically setting myself up for the best pragmatic leveraging of the Apple set up for my intermediate future.
If you've read all this and have remained interested, you are an amazing person. If you have ideas and feedback, I will listen carefully. I think it is relatively clear that I am willing to purchase or do just about whatever needs to be done, I've just sort of fumbled my way to this point. Basically, I feel like a privileged kid dealing with pro equipment and not really utilizing it to its capacity, not even close.
I'll stop for now and will be back on in a few days to read the feedback and respond. I do appreciate your time and energy and feedback.
Thanks,
Robert

How do I remove video duplicates from Aperture?

I now have many duplicates of videos in my Aperture library, taking up lots of hard disk space. Is there a best practice method of deleting these duplicates?
Many thanks for any help!

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

Can I duplicate my Aperture library so I can use one to import into new Photos app?

Hi, I'm using latest version of Aperture and Yosemite. I'd like to try the new photos app but still be able to use Aperture. Can I duplicate the library and just use the copy to do so? Or is there another way that I'm not aware of?
Thanks in advance.

Duplicates in Aperture and how to get rid of them

Short of putting the photos on List view and eyeballing the details [IPTC/EXIF] and deleting each one individually is there any better way to do this. I have TidyUp and have used it in other such tasks in the past but wasn't sure that doing so with a large library [500G] would be a good idea.
These are mainly duplicate Masters, not versions.

One is a Flash movie project and the other two a PDF files - you usually have them in your Finder window bar because you've dragged them to that location. You can get rid of them by selecting the icon with the Command key held down and drag them to the Desktop - poof! - they'll disappear.

Import 800K photos (many duplicates) into Aperture from multiple folders in one hard drive.

I have a hard drive with 800,000+ photos in it, many are duplicates after I have made multiple back-ups to different drives over the years and then transferred all the photos to this new drive. The photos are located in different folders but are all in the same hard-drive. How do a import the photos in the easiest/fastest way? How will they get sorted, by date? Is there anyway that I could delete the duplicates without losing photos? I have many photos with the same file name (but from different cameras), tumbnails, edited photos etc.
Very thankful for your assistance!

Hi,
You can import photos from multiple folders.
Just click File >> Get Photos and Videos >> From Files and Folders
Now select the folders you want to import photos from (they should be at same level in the directory, say all folders in My Pictures) using Ctrl+Click, tick the checkbox for 'Get Photos from subfolders' if not already checked and then click 'Get Media'.
Hope that will help
Thanks

Preventing duplicates in Aperture?

I'm using the Import function (not dragging from the Finder) JPG photos and I have the box checked "do not import duplicates" - yet when I import files into the same project I'm getting duplicates and they are the exact same file name. Is there some other setting I need to have checked or this a bug - does anyone know? It is definitely creating a lot of manual work to try and get rid of the duplicates once I've completed the import. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

If you import from the same card into the same project, then it shouldn't duplicate. That said, this functionality is imperfect.
The best way to prevent duplicates is to not continually import the same files. When you import, you have the ability to choose what files you import; you should only select new files.

How do I remove duplicates in Aperture?

That's my question! The pictures were imported from iPhoto and many have dupes. There are also new pics in the library since the iPhoto import, which are not duplicated.

Whenever I move a photo into an Album and the same photo already exists there, the second p;hoto is accepted without warning.
These are not duplicates.
Photos in Albums simply reference the pictures in the Library. A Photo can be in as many Albums as you like without using any extra disk space,a nd it can be used in an Album as many times as you like. There is no duplication involved here.
At heart, an Album is simply an instruction to iPhoto: Show this bunch of photos together in this order.

Getting rid of duplicates in Aperture

I just downloaded Aperture 3.2.4 and imported a album from iPhoto which has 1500 images. Aperture shows two images of the same one original and one edited. I did edit some of them in iPhoto, but not all of them. My question is how can I just get one set in Aperture and how do I prevent this from happening again?

Are you using the latest iPhoto'11?
Since the latest iPhoto and Aperture versions you can avoid to import separate images for "edited" and "original" ( in most cases) by importing the complete iPhoto Library (File > Import > iPhoto Library) and not using the the iPhoto Browser.
Importing from the iPhoto Browser always will result in two separate master images for original and version. To delete the copies that you do not want, use the keywords "iPhoto Original", "iPhoto Edited" to define smart albums (File > New > Smart album, keyword is "iPhoto Original") or searches to easily spot and collect the images you want to remove.
Or export either versions or masters from iPhoto.
But the preferred way should be to import the whole iPhoto library. (and delete the events/projects you do not want afterwards)

Aperture Not Recognizing Duplicates When Importing From iPhone. PhotoStream is Involved.

Apple makes great software. Aperture is not some of it.
Here's my setup:
'11 MacBook Air OS X Lion
Aperture 3.2.2
iPhone 4 ios 5.0
1.5 TB External Drive. Aperture Masters and Library reside there, separate from each other.
I keep my photos in a structure such as: Aperture Masters > Year > Month > Date > original_photo_name
I'm running into trouble with Aperture not recognizing what photos are duplicates when it comes time to import photos. My workflow is that I'll import photos every so often, leaving them on the iPhone, and delete them twice a year.
ISSUE 1 (The Annoying One):
Aperture is showing a lot of photos that have already been imported even if I select "Don't Import Duplicates". Aperture has done this for a long time. I know that when it comes time to importing them, it doesn't import the duplicates, but this is just a sign that something doesn't work very well. (Maybe it's because I switched to an iPhone 4S and then back. I synced all my photos, and then back again to my iPhone 4, so the sequential number of the photos remained intact. I don't think that's the problem though.). This is just a minor annoyance that shows that Apple can suck at software (remember MobileMe?).
ISSUE 2 (The serious one):
short version: Some photos on my iPhone won't sync to my Aperture library because it thinks they've been synced through PhotoStream. They are not in my Aperture Library or in my Aperture Masters in the filesystem. How can I fix this. What bloody file do I have to delete for Aperture to stop being confused?
longer explanation: When iOS 5 came out, I was excited by PhotoStream. I had enabled it on my MBA, through iPhoto (I hadn't installed Aperture on it yet, as I was using an iMac to manage my Aperture Library). I believe it synced a bunch of photos from my iPhone, but then I stopped using it on my mac. Left it on on my iPhone. Installed Aperture. I initially enabled PhotoStream but swiftly disabled it once I was not sure how it would deal with photos being uploaded from my mac etc - just seemed like too much magic was going on. I then proceeded to sync my iPhone, not importing duplicates, and it synced a bunch of photos, but didn't sync some of them, displaying the following message:
Any tips on how to fix this and be able to import those images would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. - I thought that iPhoto might be causing the problem. I checked there and there were some images imported through PhotoStream, but not some of the ones which were not imported on Aperture. Putting that another way: the iPhoto library accounted for some of the images that were not imported, but not all of them. I deleted the iPhoto Library and tried reimporting with Aperture. Still no luck.

I have precisely the same problem. Very annoying. Worked fine with iPhoto, borked with Aperture 3.

Aperture 2.1 does not honor "do not import duplicates"

I have" do not import duplicates" and aperture can no longer "read" that option
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Update Aperture to 2.1.4 which was supposed to fix the issue,and has done for me.
