IPhoto duplicating photos upon connecting iPhone

Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
iPhoto 9.6
iPhone 4S iOS 8.1.2
Upon connecting my iPhone to my MacBook to import photos, iPhoto displays duplicates of every photo.
This problem manifests itself regularly (though not every time) and began after upgrading to OS X Yosemite.
Any thoughts on cause / solution?

See this discussion:
iPhoto duplicating photos upon connecting iPhone
Are you shooting HDR or Burst photos?
If not, It seems to be a new bug, with no known clear solution.
The latest theory is, that dismounting the iPhone and mounting again will make the duplicates vanish from the import window.

  • Should Photo Stream in iPhoto show photos taken with iPhone?

    Migrated all of my accounts to iCloud and was looking forward to using Photo Stream to share photos between our iPhones and Mac.  I have it turned on with all three devices, yet none of the photos published to Photo Stream show up on other devices.  Meaning: the Photo Stream photo on my iPhone does not show up in the Photo Stream on my Mac.  The photos in the Photo Stream on my Mac are not showing up on my iPhone.  Is there something additional I need to do to get this to work?

    Try going into the iPhoto preferences and iPhone settings pane and turn off PhotoStream and then turn it back on again. For iPhoto I'd uncheck each of the checkboxes close the preferences, open the preferences and check them all again. Maybe even close iPhoto between unchecking and checking again.
    As for the iPhone maybe reboot it also.

  • Stop iPhoto opening up when connecting iPhone

    Does anyone know if there's a setting to stop iPhoto opening when I connect my iPhone everytime?

    If you have iLife '08, go to iPhoto > Preferences > General tab and set the pop-up for "When camera is connected:" to No Application. If you have an earlier version of iLife, that setting is found in Applications > Image Capture > Preferences.
    iPhoto launches because you have images in your Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone). If the Camera Roll is empty, iPhoto will not launch. You may consider transferring those pics to iPhoto and deleting them from the iPhone with the transfer, then adding them to an iPhoto library and syncing them back. That's a better strategy for keeping those pics than leaving them on the iPhone Camera Roll.

  • IPhoto duplicated photos showing Originals and Modified folders?

    Upon importing photos to iPhoto, many folders were duplicated. One folder has "Originals" and the other folder has the numbers you see in the iPhoto folder system such as "18" and "21." I understand that when you import photos, it places a copy in the originals folder. I"m assuming this is used when you use the "Revert to Originals" function. Why is iPhoto showing both copies? How can I turn this off? I'm assuming I don't want to delete one of these. This is not simply duplicates were downloaded.
    thanks!

    PostPunk:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It sounds like you imported a library into a new library when you upgraded to iPhoto 8 rather than let iPhoto 8 convert the older library to the new version. That method will import both the modified version along with the original as originals. If this is not what happened please describe how you went about importing the photos, where they came from, etc.
    Happy Holidays
    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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    i have about 1900 photos on phone and 50 on ipad. how do i fix?

    Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over correctly - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

  • HT1420 I use two MacBook pro, two iPads and two iPhones. Upon connection and attempt to synchronize photos I receive a message that my authorization limit is exceeded. I read that iOS devices do not count against the authorization limit.

    I use two MacBook pro, two iPads and two iPhones. Upon connection and attempt to synchronize photos I receive a message that my authorization limit is exceeded. I read that iOS devices do not count against the authorization limit. One iPhone and one iPad show in the authorization list. iTunes wants to delete my purchased programs and books from the iPad to continue synchronization. What can I do?

    Ok, now I do wish I could edit....
    I forgot to APPLY the network settings for the USB cable to work. Connected thru USB I can tether.
    So, I kept playing, and playing some more...
    I had previously unpaired everything, and gone as far as removing network devices HOWEVER...
    I didn't remove the Ethernet, Firewire or Airport Network devices.
    Now, I have done so. I REMOVED EVERYTHING
    No pairing, no network devices.
    Bluetooth was already turned off, and I rebooted.
    I turned off tethering and rebooted the iphone.
    I turned on bluetooth (on the MBP), I turned on tethering. I browsed for the iphone. It said I was already paired???? Ok, repair AGAIN, and THE IPHONE SHOWED MY BLUETOOTH TETHERING BLUE BAR at the top of the screen!
    I opened a web page, no go... d4mn, I was close...
    Opened network preferences and the created a new bluetooth PAN and voila! Internet back on the MBP. I am about to reinstall the ethernet and airport (I can live without firewire for now) and see what happens.
    Basically, the link I posted two posts ago, I had already done that, but I NEEDED to remove ethernet, firewire and airport as well...
    So MAYBE it's fixed, we'll see for how long. I'm not going to mark this as answered for now, because basically, it has failed for no reason, and I want to know why...
    Hopefully someone can come up with something, but having to delete and reinstall all pairings and network devices (to me) is not really a solution, it's a workaround (at best).

  • How can I stop iPhoto from importing duplicates of every photo on my iPhone

    Having a problem with duplicates of all pics imported from my iPhone
    -Connect iPhone
    -iPhoto opens, showing the photos on the phone which have not been imported.  Problem is that 2 copies of each of the photos are shown as being ready to import.  Import otherwise goes as normal. 
    -If I select "import all," it will import both copies of each photo.
    -Selecting and importing just 1 copy of each pic works fine, but leaves a copy on my phone, even if I delete the imported pics.
    -The pics are not duplicated on my phone (before or after any import).
    I'd appreciate any advice.
    Thanks,
    -Mark
    Mid 2007 20in iMac-(2GHz IC2D), OSX 10.10.2, iPhone 5S

    The problem is that every import is at least one new Event, and so it's quite possible that you could have 1,000 new Events every month thanks to Phootstream.
    However, it's not such a huge deal to just select the Event at the end of the month and auto-split it (in the Events menu)

  • How do I get Photos - iPhotos to work with my iPhone

    I have a 2 month old Mac Mini, and noticed a system upgrade available 10.10.3 - I always download all that are offered.  10.10.3 loaded, and I proceeded to open iTunes and iPhoto and plug in my iPhone, All went well until I noticed PHOTOS  I opened it to see what it was and was asked to selected a library as it seemed the only option on offer I did and found a mass of over 3500 photos  in folders that I did not totally recognise, including one of Face photos. It was only then that I noticed a NO ENTRY SIGN on iPhotos.  Thanks to some Mac Forum advice I have now been able to install a new iPhotos 9.6.1 to replace this but I now have a big problem that I cannot edit the photos on my iPad or iPhone.
    I have 10.10.3 installed with iPhoto-9.6.1 - PHOTOS-1 - iTunes-12.1.2.27 & iOS-8.3 on the iPhone & iPad.
    I Plug the iPhone into the Mac, iTunes can see it, click the camera icon I see a list of 30+ folders - 2 are ticked which are MC, it has 19 photos in it and PP, it has 1 photo in it - which is correct for the iPhone.
    In PHOTOS when I plug in the iPhone, a new command appears in the top bar  ‘IMPORT’  click on that and the iPhone icon shows on the left side with a box to tick - ‘open this device’ - click it and the message is ‘NO PHOTOS’. Under Albums I find the same 30+ listed with MC containing 50 photos & PP with 33.
    In iPhoto I plug in the iPhone & it is recognised with a  message on the right , LOADING… and there it stays STUCK but not crashed. Down the left side is listed the same 30+ albums, MC with 50 photos & PP with 33.
    Question - how do I get Photos/iPhoto/iTunes/to communicate with my iPhone/iPad, to update the photo albums as they did before 10.10.3 & Photos were introduced to my system????    Your help please

    Thanks for your help III
    BUT: I really don't get it! About ten days ago or so my iPhone 4s was suddenly able to hold on to the AirPort Express network.
    But then yesterday all of a sudden the problem was back again!!! I didn't do ANYTHING! It was just back out of nowhere! 
    Wi-Fi connection on my iPhone came on... and off... and on... and so on, while my MacBook was working perfectly fine with the network!
    So I reset the whole thing again on my MacBook with the AirPort utility, I reset the AirPort Express and I reset my iPhone... still not working... Honestly this freaks me out. Especially because it worked for more than a week and as I said I did not change a thing!!!
    Does anyone have any ideas how to solve the problem other then reset everything? Or is there an explanation around for this occurence???
    Thanks for your Help!

    on syncing photos to my iphone from my mac (snow leopard) (iphoto), just 2 or 3 per event retain the edited verisons, the rest are shown in the original version. I'm confused by this. Is this a bug? Is there a way to see all the photos on the mac-edited version on iphn?

    Thanks for your reply
    I solved my problem,
    Definitely a bug in syncing through itunes.
    - Connect Iphone with MacBook Pro through USB
    - Go to iphone on itunes, photos, deselect photo synchronization.
    - Sync (all pics will be removed from iphone)
    - Close itunes, iphoto, disconnect iphone
    - Select in finder: (home)-pictures-iphoto library.
    - Sec click on iphoto library and choose "show package contents"
    - Delete iPod Photo Cache
    - Close finder
    - Empty trash
    - Reconnect iphone
    - Allow photo synchronization again and everything works smooth.
    After this, changes made in iphoto are instantaneously reflected in iphone photos.
    Once every hundred photos, one gets detached from iphoto and then changes are no longer reflected (buggy) :-(
    In this case I erase the photo in iphoto, sync, go back to iphoto trash, reestablish the photo from the trash and sync again.
    Hope this improves. Still have to try cloud though.
    Thanks

  • ITunes connects, but neither Image Capture, nor Bridge Photo Downloader see iPhone

    Hello. When I connect my iPhone (4, running 5.1.1) to my mac (10.8.1), iTunes starts syncing (so I see the connection works in principle), but neither Adobe Bridge CS5 Photo Downloader, nor Image Capture sees the Device. Bridge says: Source – Get Photos from <None Detected>. The <Refresh List> command brings no change. In Image Capture, both the Devices and the Shared menu item remain empty, the message its main window says: No camera or scanner connected. I guess that is no unknown problem, but I somehow can't find anything on it.
    I'd be greatful for any idea.

    Just checked it. The settings in iPhoto are for "Connecting camera opens: iPhoto"
    When I connect the phone, iPhoto will launch, but the iPhone will not show up under devices.
    Where's the 2012 version of SCSI Probe when I need it?
