How do i get rid of duplicates in my photo library?  I imported the photos again by mistake and dont want to do it manually.  is there a way to have iphoto compare and delete all duplicates?

How do i delete duplicate photos in my iphoto library.  i imported them (1500 pics) twice and don't want to manually go through them all.  Is there a way to get iphoto to compare photos and delete the duplicates?

There are two apps, actually one app and one Applescript script, for finding and removing duplicate photos from iPhoto. They are:
Duplicate Annihilator
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates

  • Is there a way to have iPhoto find, and delete, my duplicates?

    I thought there was a way to do this, but now I can't find it.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Paul:
    There are a couple of applications that will cull out duplicates in an iPhoto Library: Duplicate Annihilator and iPhoto Diet.
    I suggest you make a temporary backup copy of your iPhoto Library folder before running either of them just to have a fall back copy in case the results are not what you intended.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I want to switch stores from Japan to USA. I used to have an iTunes card, and there's 15 YEN left in my account, how can I get rid of that so I can start purchasing in the US store using my new credit card?

    I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

    I don't think this is the easiest way. Have you concidered creating a new account and just... ignoring the last one? If this idea is not to your liking, just simply ring up apple. From what I know, you cannot cancel and account, but, I think that apple might be able to.

  • Is there any way to have a COMPLETE list of all samples and loops ( Logic 8

    I'm sure it's been posted previously, but anyway, I'm looking to buy new Apple Loops libraries and I have faced the fact , that many of the sounds and loops produced by third parties manufacturers have been already included in Logic installation discs.
    I have a list of Apple Loops DVD's that have been included with Logic somewhere, the problem is, Apple didn't post ( I believe) the credits of all 3rd party manufacturers that have produced these libraries that are included with Logic or Garage band. Is there any way to have a COMPLETE list of all samples and loops that are included with Apple DAW's so I wouldn't duplicate anything ? I'm pretty much positive that Apple had other companies to sound design and sample all libraries for them, so is there also a way to have a list of those manufacturers? Again, the objection is to start upgrading the sound library without any possible duplication?
    Thanks in advance!

    Chris, I certainly don't mind additional questions and postings.
    I believe there are many issues with Apple Loops and Logic that need to be resolved and people need to be aware of that. Unfortunately, in opposite to the old "german" version of Logic , there's no lifetime tech support, you can't even call and ask the question after 60 days , which isn't right for a professional software of this level, especially considering the fact that many things still remain vague in Logic even for developers and tech support people!( believe me, I've called and asked!)
    Issues like that need to be resolved over the phone with the company, period!
    One thing I also learned over the years as a Mac OSX user, if something doesn't work, don't mess with it. Delete your drive and re-install everything. This is very frustrating , I know, but unfortunately this is the only way to deal with OSX issues, if you got a problem with your system, don't try to fix it. It's never gonna be the same again. I know , it's off the topic a little bit, but if your content is missing from the system files, before installing your new Logic, back up your important files, wipe up your drive and clean install Mac OSX , run updates and then install the Logic. Most likely , everything will be in it's place, at least 90% or more. I gave up trying to make two system in my house to be compatible 100% , but it's OK if they're 90% or more identical. I spent enormous amount of time trying to find out what's missing and where, I visited most of the forums and there's no clean answer.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • Is there a way to have one flash player play all moives on a web page ?

    Hi,
      Is there a way to have one flash player play all movies on a web page ?   For example, you have a list of FLV movies on a page and you click on any them and it will play on the same player on the web page. Or does each movie needs it's own ?
    Thanks in advance..
    Peter

    Yes, for the design I made, the movies are loaded from the server.  Here is the code for the design.  It is done using AS2, and the stage includes two buttons (s1, s2) for playing the individual videos, one button to play them both (playall), one after the other, and the video object (video1_video) that was added via small menu you find at the top of the library panel's frame.
    I cannot say this would work directly for your implementation, but it gives you some things you can look into so that you can figure out how.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    // ignore whatever code is above this... the forum added it, not me  
    stop();
    ncount = -1;
    var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    connection_nc.connect(null);
    var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
    stream_ns.setBufferTime(3);
    stream_ns.onStatus = function(infoObject:Object) {
            for (var prop in infoObject) {
                   if(infoObject[prop] == "NetStream.Play.Stop" && ncount == 0){
                       video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
                       stream_ns.play("20051210-w50s.flv");
                       ncount += 1;
    playall.onRelease = function(){
          ncount = 0;
          video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
          stream_ns.play("barsandtone.flv");
    s1.onRelease = function(){
          video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
          stream_ns.play("barsandtone.flv");
    s2.onRelease = function(){
          ncount = -1;
          video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
          stream_ns.play("20051210-w50s.flv");
    I don't deal with video very often, so I have not created an AS3 version of this.

  • I have a new iTunes acct for my 10year old . she was playing one of the games and did not know it was charging my Cc and grandmas CC for her game. Is there a way to have these amt adj off the cards. I have made sure my CC info is not in the system now

    My 10 year old daughter downloaded a free game on her i Pod touch. When playing the game she did not know she was ordering apps
    is there a way to have my cc and her grandma cc refunded these charges. I thought my acct was set up to not keep our CC # on file.
    Please help.

    There are no refunds.
    You can set restirctions so that it does not allow in app purchases.
    You can try asking itunes support for an exception and see how it goes.

    Is there a way to have parallax scrolling and a changing slideshow? (so the slideshow looks still and it looks like you scroll your content over it again)

    You can apply opacity to images or define key position for slideshow so that with page scroll the opacity changes and will bring the similar effect.

  • How can I get rid of baseline drift in an ecg without having the dfdt or advanced signal processing toolkits?

    Hello,
    I am recieving a lot of baseline drift in my ECG signal and was wondering how I can get rid of it? I saw examples at NI .com but they used the digital filter design toolkit and the advanced sgnal processing tollkit. I have neither one of these and since I am a student and this is my senior project I have no means to get these toolkits. I tried using a high pass filter but this did not work.\
    Ray

    Ray,
    When you say that something did not work, you are not giving much information for us to use to try to help you. Did the filter not work or did it not remove the drift?
    How big is the drift, compared to the desired signal? How fast does it drift? How long are your sample sets? What are you doing with the ECG data? Looking at heart rate or analyzing a single-beat waveform for morphological changes? I think you can see that different end goals might require different approaches to baseline compensation.
    If the drift is always fairly slow, you might be able to take small segments and subtract the mean of each segment. This may result in some offset or shift at the segment boundaries, but it is very simple and can easily be implemented without requiring a special toolkit.
    Another approach is to low pass filter the ECG signal to extract an estimate of the baseline which can then be subtracted. Remember that all filters have a transient response and many will have a phase shift between the input and output.

  • How do I get rid of error message, "iTunes could not back up the iPad because an error occurred."

    During a recent syncing of my iPad and iTunes, I cancelled a sync during the backup step of the process.  Since then I whenever I sync the ipad I know get, "iTunes could not back up the iPad because an error occurred."
    I have reset my iPad and turned off the MacBook, still the message occurs.
    Can someone offer some advice on how to get rid of this error message?

    You can try deleting your backup. Launch Itunes on your Mac and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Highlight the name of the iPad backup and select delete. Quit iTunes, restart your Mac and try to sync again.

  • How do I get rid of a ton of old reimported email from the Mail App?

    I was having an sync issue with a particular email address, it wasn't getting the emails forwarded from GMail into my Apple Mail account, so I followed the directions I got from apple.com
    "Go to your home Library folder, then to the Mail folder and remove the “DefaultCounts”, “Envelope Index” and the “LSMMap” files."
    "The next time you start up Apple Mail it should ask you to reimport all messages and it will rebuilt the index."
    So, before I could use the Apple Mail, I had to let it reimport all messages and rebuild the index, which I did. Now, I did notice it was reimporting well over hundreds of thousands of files. Not sure if they were emails or what, but it took a long time to rebuild.
    Now after, the email address was able to forward or "push" the email to my Mail program. Problem fixed. But hours later I looked at my available harddrive space and noticed I only 80GB's availble when before I have 224GB's of Harddrive space available on my 500GB home drive.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm not 100% sure if this is the problem, but there's no other explanation I can come up with because I didn't import anything or install anything else on my computer that day, especially that big.

    3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
    Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.
