Deleting duplicate projects.

Brand new to Aperture and relatively new to Mac. Just installed Aperture and imported my 30,000 photos from I-photo. I have numerous duplicate projects because my initial uploads to I-photo came from old PC hard drives, I-phones, cameras that had already been uploaded to the old hard drives, etc. With the duplicate Aperture projects that I now have, am I now safe to delete one of the projects without affecting the other duplicate project, and if so, will this also entirely remove the files from the hard drive? Thanks.

Deleting one project shouldn't affect other projects, as each has its own master photos. If you delete the project, AND the photos are managed (i.e. in the Aperture library), then it should remove the files from the HD.
Be SURE you have a backup. I'd recommend an up-to-date vault before you go about doing anything, so you can be sure.

Just starting to use aperture. is there a way to find and delete duplicate pix?

I'm working on a huge project and there are duplicates here and there. Is there a way to delete all duplicates from projects--or at least an easier way to do it then 1 by 1?

Aperture has no built-in tools to detect duplicates. There are some nice tools to detect duplicates in iPhoto libraries, so if you treat your Aperture library as an iPhoto library, you might give these applications a try: see the post by Old Toad:
Re: what is the best way to delete duplicate photos in iPhoto?

Deleting duplicate photos

I am still using Aperture 2, on a Macbook Pro running snow leopard. I generally only look at and examine my projects (with folders and albums contained in them). The other day I took a look at my All Photos (in the library) and found that I had lots and lots of duplicates, and many triplicates of my photos (which don't show up in my albums). I have no idea how I got so many of them, but they must add up to hundreds if not a thousand or so.
I have started deleting the extras. Then I noticed that many of them are the original photo next to its edited photo. Is that normal? I thought that the originals were hidden somewhere and only the edited versions were in the library. Is this wrong? Should both of them be in the library? And, if I have deleted many of the unedited photos, have I eliminated the masters? Will my versions still be accessible, or am I ruining their presence by deleting the master (if indeed they are the masters). I realize that there are programs for deleting duplicates, but they are kind of expensive, except for Duplicate Annihilator, which won't run on Aperture 2.)
Please advise. Thanks for any help.

How do you delete duplicates but keep the orginials?

How do you deleter duplicates but keep the originals?

Mark,
Since you are having a problem that is not directly related to the original (and old) post (and I say that because this thread seems to answer the OP's question, but not yours), it woud be better to ask in a new thread. New threads have a better chance of getting answered, and you can give credit to good answers of your own questions. I..e., if someone else answers your question in this thread, you cannot give them credit.
When you pose your new question, it might be good to include a screen shot and a better description of how you have deduced that two projects are identical, along with what you have done to try to find them and where exactly you have looked.

Hello, singinheart.
Thank you for the question. Since you have already identified the duplicate media you just have a couple more steps to go. This article outlines the remainder of the steps in order to mass delete the duplicates.

Error while deleting a project

Hello
I want to delete a project : I 'm using the "delete" command after right-cliking. ODI deletes all interfaces, variables and so on but not the project itsel :
I get the message :
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: L'instruction DELETE est en conflit avec la contrainte REFERENCE "FK_UFUNC_TECHNO". Le conflit s'est produit dans la base de données "MLPODI_MAINT", table "dbo.SNP_UFUNC_TECHNO", column 'I_UFUNC_IMPL'.
In inglish, it should be something like :
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: th DELETE instruction is conflicting with REFERENCE constraint "FK_UFUNC_TECHNO". The conflict has occured in the database "MLPODI_MAINT", table "dbo.SNP_UFUNC_TECHNO", column 'I_UFUNC_IMPL'.
Does any has experienced this ? How to delete my project ?

Thank you all, HTH and Jitendra
Thanks to your advise and after reading more carefully the error message, I can now understand what's happening :
My project includes a user function that causes the issue : ODI can't delete the project because it can't delete this user function.
But I can't understand what's happening whith this function : it seems to be in a tricky situation : it has nos syntax and no description though it shoud not be possible to create a user fucntion whithout populating these fields.
When I try to enter a syntax, I have another error message talking about conflict and FK.
I can see the line related to this function in the SNP_UFUNC, SNP_UFUNC_IMPL and SNP_UFUNC_TECHNO tables. I tried unsuccessfully to delete the line (though I guess this action could be dangerous). I don't know what to do now ?

How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist?!

How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist - everytime I connect my hard-drive it adds another of every single track - argh!!!!
I remember there being a 'delete duplicate tracks' option on a much older version of itunes - is this still available and if not if you opt for the 'consolidate library' option will this automatically save to you computer as I have too much music for my laptops memory capacity! On top of that how can I stop this issue from contantly re-occuring everytime I connect my hard-drive?! Apologies if im being thick here.... xX*laura*Xx

You are doing something wrong, iTunes doesn't add tracks to the library unless you ask it to, so there is a problem somewhere in your workflow which is creating the duplicates. For example, having iTunes set up to "Copy files to the iTunes Media folder when adding to library" and then repeatedly adding in a folder from an external drive would do it.
Once you've worked out how to stop creating new duplicates you can look at the issue of deduping what you already have. See this recent post for some thoughts and a script that may prove useful.

How do you delete duplicate songs in your library without having to delete each song individually?

Go to iTunes, select view and click show duplicates. Hold control and A ( select all) and then delete.
Not a good idea! The "show duplicates" feature shows "all" duplicate tracks, but you only want to delete the "extra" copies, not the "originals".
I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background, including how to delete the extra tracks manually if you prefer.

How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?

Greetings!
After importing my 300 or so CDs into iTunes, I found I have tons of duplicate songs.
Example: I have a song that came in a original album, then in again in a "Greatest Hits" album, then again in a "Hits of the 80's" album, and again in a soundtrack album. I have now have 4 copies of the exact same song.
How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums back to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?
I don't think this currently exists, but as my library keeps growing the duplicates keep growing. It would be nice if Apple sees this and adds a way to link songs to multiple albums.
I don't want to create a custom playlist for every album that has a duplicate song or two (I'd have dozens of playlists) - thought about fixing it that way but not really practical.

To my knowledge, there is no way of doing what you want. The only workaround is to create playlists for the other albums containing the track, but that isn't practical for most people.
You could provide Apple with feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Is there a way to automatically detect and delete duplicate photos in a library

I just imported a load of photos into my main iPhoto '11 Library from several older MAC's Photo Libraries. Despite repeatedly using the "Don't Import Duplicate Photos" dialogue box, I have many duplicate photos. Is there a way to automatically detect and delete Duplicate Photos?
I also have iPhoto Library Manager installed on my MAC, but cannot seem to locate on it anything that would do this.
I have over 4,000 photos, so would really appreciate some help here! Thanks in advance...

duplicate annihilator - http://www.brattoo.com/propaganda/
And NEVER import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library - doing so des not work and creates massive duplication
if you still have all of the original iPhoto libraries I recommend you drag the bad one you created to the desktop (delete it later when everythin has successfully been completed) and start over usin iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to merge the libraries
