Can I search for duplicates in iPhoto 9.2.3?

I believe earlier versions had a "search for duplicates" function.

No, no earlier version did.
For dealing with duplicates in iPhoto check out Duplicate Annihilator or Decloner or iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner

  • How can I search for duplicate photos in iPhoto libraries?

    How can I search for duplicate photos in iPhoto 9.5.1 library.  Installed on iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, Mavericks 10.9.5.

    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates:  PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • Dealing with a ton of photos.  Can you find/search for duplicates??

    Hi,
    I am trying to help my parents with merging photos from 5 different computers. They have several old pc's and now two new macs. Unfortunately they have about 10+ years of photos on these computers and many of the photos are duplicates. Virtually every photo is a long string of digits followed by .jpg. They are contained within about 400+ folders that quite frankly make little sense. I have copied all the photos from each computer onto one external hard drive.
    Is there a way to search for duplicates within that many folders? Unfortunately, some of the cameras they used didn't have the correct date set and it is impossible to figure out when the photos were taken! Also they copied many photos into Iphoto and in the process made additional copies.
    Augh!
    Thanks for any help!
    Gary

    Hello Gary:
    I rarely post +"me too"+ comments, but let me echo Matt's suggestion. I used duplicate annihilator with quite a bit of success myself when I imported a library from another computer.

  • PSE10 Crashes when searching for duplicate photos

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded to PSE10 and imported my catalog from a different machine (which had been running XP).  Unfortunately, I ended up with a bunch of duplicate entries in the catalog, one with the path c:\users\... the other with c:\my documents\...  These paths both point to the same image on the hard drive.
    When I try to Search for Duplicate Photos (from Find>By Visual Searches), PSE invariably crashes.  I am running PSE10 under Windows 7 (full system info at the end of this message).
    Any idea why this might be happening, and is there a different way I can remove the duplicate entries in the catalog?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    If I understand well, what you are calling 'duplicates' are duplicate entries in the catalog, the same media being called either by its original path+filename or shortcut path+filename.
    The organizer will try open two different files to compare them, but when trying to open the second 'shortcut', the file will be already blocked (in use). That could explain the failure of the comparison for similarity.
    Try creating a new catalog with similar images, for instance jpegs and png copies. Does the visual search work ?
    About backup and restore : If my supposition is right, that should work if you try to restore to a new custom location with keeping the file structure : the backup should create real file duplicates on different paths. If it works, finding visual duplicate should work, although this process may take a very long time.

  • 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.

  • Searching for duplicates

    In iTunes you can search for duplicates of a music file (easily). Can we do the same thing with an iMac using Leopard? If so, could someone please tell me how?
    Cheers,
    sws

    I would probably not buy it if +all you want to do+ is search for duplicate files. If it's other capabilities are of use to you then maybe you might consider it. I bought SC6 way back in the day but as the OS and other utilities had matured I found that I had less and less use for it.
    If for instance you only want to find duplicate photos then perhaps Duplicate Annihilator may be more appropriate?
    Again, wait and maybe others will chime in, if not then google a term like 'find duplicates' and see what comes up.

  • How can i search for a color that is not in the color palette? (CS 5.5)

    I have a client, that has used a certain color in a series of textfields throughout the document.
    The color consists of all 4 CMYK colors and needs to be just Keycolor. However the color is not in the swatches menu, so marking it there and changing it won't work. I have downloaded a script that might have worked, but it could only find colors that were in the swatches palette. (Find / Change by Color / Overprint" version 1.2).
    Ofcourse, creating a similar color and adding it to the swatches doesn't work.
    Is there anyway that i can search for the color or does it really have to be done manually.
    Best regards

    You can only search for real, actually existing swatches. No sweat: use "Add Unnamed Colors" in the Swatch panel dropdown menu to get a list of all of the manually applied colors.
    Since you want to change all of them to the same color, you don't even have to use Search/Replace. Simply delete the new colors and select the one you need in the "Replace With" dialog that appears.

  • I can't search for books or authors on my iphone 6. It says no results found every time. Is there some setting I may have wrong? I have been using my kindle app instead.

    I can't search for book or authors in ibooks.  When I search an author or book and click on it a message that says not results found comes up.  Even if I try to look up something popular like Dracula or Twilight.  Is there some setting I should have clicked?  It won't find or download any books at all anymore.  This started about a month ago.  I have been using my Kindle app instead.

  • How Can I Search for Media files by Length?

    I want know how can I search for media files (mov, mp4, flv and movie files in general) by their length?
    If this search function is confirmed as definitely not possible on the OS, I would appreciate someone recommending app that might be able to perform such a search?
    Many thanks

    No possible way. Because the files may be enoded with differing codecs, compression, etc., you can only sort by file size, not the 'length' of the movie files.

  • Tell me Logic for search for duplicate words(or strings) in a large file.

    Search for duplicate words (or strings) in a text file containing one word per line. For each word that occurs more than once in the flat file output should be as follows
    <word> <number of occurrences> <line numbers in the file where the word occurs>
    For example, if the word Hello occurs thrice in a file at lines 100, 178 and 3456 the output should read
    Hello, 3, [100, 178, 3456]

    Incidentally i wrote similar code some days back. You need to do some modifications to get the exact output you want, but i hope it will be of some help.
    One more thing its written using JAVA5
    public class Test
         private static final String COLLECTIONS_TEXT = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\amrainder\\Desktop\\Collections.txt";
         public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
              findDuplicateWords();
         private static void findDuplicateWords() throws IOException
              Collection<String> words = new LinkedHashSet<String>();
              File file = new File(COLLECTIONS_TEXT);
              StreamTokenizer streamTokenizer = new StreamTokenizer(new FileReader(file));
              int token = streamTokenizer.nextToken();
              while(token != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF)
                   if(token == StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD)
                        words.add(streamTokenizer.sval);
                   token = streamTokenizer.nextToken();
              System.out.println(words);
    }Cheers,

  • Can't search for words anymore after saving PDFs in Preview

    Hi everyone,
    I would love to use Preview for my day-to-day use of previewing PDFs + highlighting + setting annotations. However, once I have saved the pdf with Preview I can not search for words anymore. If I search for one letter only, I would get cryptic hits like "7;%! 2%8%P%8!".
    I am not sure, but I guess when preview saves the pdf using a Quartz PDF context, something happens with the index, or the underlying the font structuring.
    Does anyone have had experience with these kinds of troubles?
    Thanks in advance,
    Heinrich

    Hi, thanks for answering quickly, and the heads up on that other thread.
    It undoubtedly has to do with the annotations or mark ups (the last, in my case).
    In the linked-to thread they end by suggesting that it's because it's has "commenting not allowed" when you see it
    using Adobe Reader, File > Properties > Security says Commenting: Not Allowed.
    However, some documents with "commenting not allowed set in Adobe Reader I can highlight or annotate fine, without it messing up after saving.
    Besides, any document I save as pdf even from Word, will say commenting not allowed in Adobe Reader. So if even my own documents are not highlight- or annotate-able without garbling the text, what documents would these functions be for, then?
    I think what somebody mentioned in the other thread about character encodings hold some truth, I see it in documents in Danish with æ ø and å (however, not all!), but not in English-only docs (yet. Have any of you?).
    Thanks in advance,
    - Alexander

  • No "search for Duplicates" found in address book

    Hey, on my intel imac I've got no "search for duplicates" available to me in Address Book. It shows up in my macbook, and my lampstand powerbook. All three are running 10.4.10, Adressbook is Version 3.1.2 (321)
    Also, when I sync with .Mac it doubles up all of my entries in the libraries on both computers.
    Any ideas?

    AB search should search notes. quit Address book and delete the file homedirectory/library/application support/address book/AddressBook-v22.abcddb. then start Address Book and see if search works correctly now. if it doesn't reindex your hard drive with spotlight. add your hard drive to spotlight's privacy pane for a few seconds and then remove it from there. wait for reindexing to finish and try AB search again.

  • How to search for duplicate files?

    Is there a quick and easy way to search for duplicate files? (and other space hogs) I would like to do some hard drive spring cleaning. Trying to free up some space. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Carl

    Here are some apps to try:

  • How can one search for a filename anywhere on the Mac?

    How can one search for a filename anywhere or everywhere on the Mac?

    You can configure Spotlight so it will also search in system files or you can download and use EasyFind 4.9.3 that doesn't require special configuration.
    Get Spotlight to search system files (and more)
    Enter the search term in the Finder window's search field.
    Click the [+] button in the search bar to add a search option.
    In the first drop down menu choose Other.
    Choose “System Files” from the list that pops up (and check the box to place in drop down menu to avoid this step later,) click on the OK button.
    Now back in the Finder choose Include from the second drop down menu.
