Duplicate and Original.
Hello.
In 'preferences' in Duplicate Annihilator, under 'actions', you have options to set 'duplicates' and 'originals'. I've set those, but where do I find either duplicate or original indication on any of the photos?
Kidsmum
Best to contact the makers of t Duplicate Annihilator for help with their app, no?

Is there a way to display only duplicates and not the original?
i know that there is a button to "display duplicates" but that displays both duplicates and the original. i just want to go through and delete everything that i dont need. i have like 40 gbs of duplicates and need some space on my comp. is there a way to do this without going through the duplicates list and deleting things one by one?
How would you define the duplicate?
I use the same feature, but many times songs that appear to be duplicates really are not. For example, I might have the same artist doing the song on the original album, on a compilation of greatest hits, on a live disc, and perhaps even on another compilation mixed in with other artists. Which is the duplicate?
Also you might find that some duplicate songs from the same artist have slightly different names, and they won't show up on the "show duplicates" list.
I like to keep some duplicates, because one day I might want to play by artist, and another day I might want to play some of my "decade" collections. I decided it was easier to have duplicate songs than try to manage playlists that reference the same song.
What I have started doing to identify duplicates, and it works well for me, is I make a temporary playlist and put everything by an individual artist into that playlist. I sort by song title. That puts all of the songs that have the same name together, but by artist, and I go through and selectively check / uncheck the songs I want to sync to my iPod or not. I don't try to do my entire library at once, since it's fairly large (in my case). Maybe a process like that would work for you. -
Hi.
Since upgrading to Mavericks (inc. latest update today), a perfectly harmonious environment of Entourage > Apple Calendar > Gmail > Android phone has fallen apart. I understand that this is down to Apple removing local sync services in the Mavericks 'upgrade', so I am now manually 'syncing' Entourage calendar events to Apple Calendar (Version 7.0 (1835.1)) by copying/dragging them across teh Calendar and syncing to Android via Gmail account.
Now, events in Apple Calendar are being duplicated - even if I create them in Apple Calendar.
And, when I delete one of the duplicated entries in Apple Calendar, both disappear from Google calendar and Android phone - and then the other in Apple Calendar.
This does not happen with all events, but I cannot figure out:
a) why duplicates are appearing and disappearing for some events, or;
b) what differs between the events that duplicate and those that do not.
Also 'in the mix', is a couple of third party apps that I think i should mention:
1. SyncMate - which I used successfully to sync my Android and iMac 2yrs and decided to uninstall post-Mavericks 'upgrade', and;
2. BusyCal, which I installed to trial as a fix post Mavericks 'upgrade' and uninstalled.
Both thrid party apps refuse to compeltely uninstall. I have gone through forums and trawled through Libraries to manuallly remove all residue of these apps, but they still pop up and prompt from time to time.
I mention the last bit regarding SyncMate and BusyCal, in case their residues are the cause of the Calendar duplications issue originally posted.
Can anyone please shed some light on a fix to both problems? I am dirty as all **** on Apple for the undocumented changes in the Mavericks 'upgrade' and am very close to going back to Windows (my iMac is an Intel model).
Ed.Thanks Eric.
I have pasted the Etrecheck output at the foot of this post.
Something I tested earlier that had an intersting outcome..... I created two test events; one in 'iCal' and one in Google Calendar. The latter quickly sync'd and created duplicate entries in 'iCal', but kep tto singel instacnes in Google and Android. The event created in 'iCal' did not duplicate and sync'd properly a single instance to both Googe Calendar and my Android. Neither tests created duplicates on the Android phone.

Deleting duplicates and thumbnails in iphoto or
As a 20+ yr PC user I made the fatal mistake of trying to manage my imac photos as in a PC. Running out of space on my imac, I exported all my photos to a 1TB external. Somehow, I wound up with duplicates and triplicates and even thumbnails. I purchased Duplicate Annihilator, but it looks for an exact match, is unstable, can only handle so many files and slow as molasses. Therefore, DA won't identify my thumbnails as dups. Trying to identify thumbnails in iPhoto is useless. All I want is the file size under the thumbnail when viewing photos so I can select and delete the thumbs. Multiple sort options like by name then by size would help as well. My library is over 100GB as a result. I need some serious help here. Is there another app out there that would get the job done more efficiently?
Thanks,
AndyAndy
There are no duplicates in the iPhoto Library. There can be up to three versions of the pics, but no duplicates. iPhoto always preserves your original file, edits are carried out on a copy - the modified version - and there is also a tiny thumbnail for display in the iPhoto Window. Duplicate Annihilator is for searching in iPhoto, not the Finder.
When you did this:
I searched for all .jpg files and then moved them to the drive. I did not use iphoto to export. So I got every photo from every folder.
You accessed the Library via the Finder and the Finder doesn't understand the Library.
The easiest way to solve this problem is to trash the product of this process and start over.
What exactly are you trying to do:
Want to move the iPhoto Library?
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Or simply export the files from iPhoto:
Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export.
Choose the Kind: you want - Original version, Current version etc
Export
Result a single copy of the file.

Making Details:Duplicate from Smart Album? Duplicate and Crop in one step?
I need to create details -- blown-up portions -- of several hundred photos. Many of the photos have three areas from which I would like to create details. I want to retain the originals as originals. I want the details to remain in whatever event the original is in. It would be helpful to have the details not inherit the keywords of the original. What is the best way to do this in iPhoto?
Here are some of the problems I've encountered.
- My originals are in Events. I have tagged the photos from which I want to create details with various keywords. I have Smart Albums set up for keywords. Is there any way to duplicate a photo from within a Smart Album ("Duplicate" is grayed out)?
- - Is there any way to select a photo in a Smart Album and then go to Events or Photos view and have that photo selected?
- Once I have the photo selected, I want to quickly select the area of the detail and create a duplicate and crop it to the selected area. Is there an easy way to do this?
- - Pressing "c" in Edit mode brings up the crop mode (as long as Keywords aren't show and you don't have a keyword assigned to "c") _with an area of the photo already selected. Is there any way to either not have an area initially selected or to with one key press get rid of the "pre-selection"?
- Sometimes I don't know until I look at the photo that I want details. Ideally I'd like to be able to, in Edit view, select an area of the photo with the mouse cursor, and with one key-press duplicate the photo and crop it to the area selected.
I am willing to consider using an external editor.
Thanks!- My originals are in Events. I have tagged the photos from which I want to create details with various keywords. I have Smart Albums set up for keywords. Is there any way to duplicate a photo from within a Smart Album ("Duplicate" is grayed out)?
No. However, if you search the Library on the Keyword (using the Search Box) you'll be able to duplicate.
- - Is there any way to select a photo in a Smart Album and then go to Events or Photos view and have that photo selected?
No. Bu again, using the Search Box, with 'Event Titles' selected in the View Menu will do something similar.
- Once I have the photo selected, I want to quickly select the area of the detail and create a duplicate and crop it to the selected area. Is there an easy way to do this?
Define'Quick'. Here's the quickest way I can find: Crop the pic to the detail. Duplicate the cropped pic and the Revert to Original on the first one. Result: your original pic plus a cropped version. However: you will lose +all previous edits+ on the pic doing this.
- - Pressing "c" in Edit mode brings up the crop mode (as long as Keywords aren't show and you don't have a keyword assigned to "c") _with an area of the photo already selected. Is there any way to either not have an area initially selected or to with one key press get rid of the "pre-selection"?
No and no.
- Sometimes I don't know until I look at the photo that I want details. Ideally I'd like to be able to, in Edit view, select an area of the photo with the mouse cursor, and with one key-press duplicate the photo and crop it to the area selected.
Isn't that the same question as the 'Quick' one above?
I am willing to consider using an external editor.
What's nor clear from your questions is the actual detail required. Are these several hundred pics all the same dimensions, with the detail in the same location each time? If so, you could probably create a Photoshop action to automate the process for you. But if you don't have photoshop or have never created an Action then you might well be faster to do the job by hand.

I want to duplicate and repeat a text box - up, down, left, right
I inserted (and sized) a text box on a page.
Now I want to duplicate and repeat the same size box over and over again in any direction.
There must be a way....right?
Mac OS X (10.4.9)
Mac OS X (10.4.9)FN:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Select the original box and type Command-D (duplicate). Move the copy to where you want. Then select the copy and type Command-D again. The next copy will be located in relation to copy 1 as copy 1 was to the original. Keep typing Command-D until you get the number you want.

Avoid modified and original folders
Hello,
I started to sort my pictures thanks to the roll rather than thanks to the albums. This way, I save times when archiving: no need to export all your albums, you can directly copy the sorted roll folders from your Iphoto library. Those folder can be directly open and your pictures viewed with any kind of software. My problem is the modified and original automatic folders, Because, I need to move the content of the modified pictures into the originals ones and replace the duplicate. It is the way I have found to merge the original and modified pictures of the same roll. Is there a way to avoid the creation of the modified folder. I would like to have all the picture of one roll in the same folder in my photo library. I could make duplicate of the picture I want to keep the original but with all the pictures in the same folder.
Thanks in advance.
Aude-LineHi, ohdelyne. What you are trying to do is substitute your own photo organizing scheme for the one that iPhoto imposes, and that enables iPhoto to function. If you do that, iPhoto won't function.
If you want the benefits that iPhoto offers, you must leave the contents of your iPhoto Library folder exactly as iPhoto has arrranged them. If you arrange them differently, you won't be able to use iPhoto at all, and you shouldn't try. Instead, use a different photo viewing application and do all your organizing manually.
Some Mac users find iPhoto's inflexible organizing scheme annoying or inconvenient for some purposes and perfectly acceptable for others. Such users (and I'm one) import some photos into iPhoto and let it organize them, and keep other photos in folder hierarchies they've created in the Finder, and use other applications to view, edit and manage them. This can be a fine alternative to handling all one's photos the same way. I have about 100,000 photos on my hard drives, and only about 20,000 of them have been imported into any of my ten iPhoto libraries.
Maintaining multiple iPhoto libraries for diffferent purposes or categories of pictures can also be very helpful in overcoming the disadvantages of not being able to alter the structure of a single all-encompassing iPhoto Library.

Duplicates and referenced photographs(files)
Aperture recently and quite mysteriously started downloading photographs from my camera with duplicates, original file and original file(1). I note others have had similar issues but those who posted with the issue did not indicate if the issue was resolved.
This is also happening with attempts to do local file imports. Aperture is copying both the original file and than a duplicate to the hard drive if I attempt to import from the external drive.
Solutions anyone?
Message was edited by: ryankaAll files are imported as referenced and stored on the internal hard drive, and manually copied to the external drive. Until my last TM backup I was manually copying the Aperture library to the external drive, unfortunately my last copy was 6/13 after the issue started.
When working images I generally work within Aperture while occasionally using Photoshop. Referenced files used for version creation and maintained within Aperture. If any images are needed for printing or recently for a digital frame, specific images (referenced or version) are exported to a temporary file and thus are jpeg, printed and/or used for other purposes.
It appears that this issue started with a folder that had a Photograph that was edited via Photoshop and is consistent since that time frame.
I shoot primarily RAW plus JPEG, though occasionally JPEG . Having shot both within the time frame of duplicates occurring. I also noticed if RAW files+JPEG are shot it is only RAW that are duplicated. IF JPEG only are shot, JPEG's are duplicated. All display the additional file name involving the (1) while those actually on the CF Card with the nomenclature on the local drive that is the same as that on the CF card. The referenced file in Metadata displays as the original file while the file name in metadata displays as the (01) image.
As a note of interest more recently the Aperture library did not indicate an increase in size when downloading a large amount of JPEGS and until yesterday in rebuilding the library, was not accounting for any July images, checking calendar nothing was appearing. Though images were visible in the browser.
Yesterday I noticed all file attributes (open with) for RAW images had changed to Photoshop, thinking this may be a part of the issue changed attributes back to Preview. I also attempted to rebuild and "VACUUM" Aperture library. Tried a slow day of photographs and again files were duplicated with the same naming process. (1)
I shot some images this morning, manually copied them to hard drive (in lieu of importing into Aperture with Aperture) with the appropriate dated folder and then imported into Aperture. The same issue occurred.
If by import settings you mean the configuration Aperture uses when I import a CF card, the setup is Year/month date.

I've just installed Mavericks on my iMac and now my calendar has duplicate and now sometimes tripled events by syncing with my ipad mini regardless of whether the item already existed in the iMac calendar already. How do I remove the duplicates? It was being able to sync calendars and contacts which was one of my reasons for moving from Snow Leopard to Mavericks and now it's a mess.
Crista70, What is happening is you now have 2 calendars with the entries in them. If you go into View, then Show Calendar List, you will see all your calendars. Uncheck the ones listed as "From My Mac" or uncheck the ones listed as "iCloud" and they will no longer show as duplicates. Personally, I prefer unchecking the "From My Mac" calendars so that my calendars are all synced across the devices.

How can i remove duplicates and certain contacts on Outlook and my iPhone?
I use the Outlook mail and contact program on my PC with a Windows 7 operating system, which I sync with my iPhone5.
After installing the iCloud program, I now have duplicate and sometimes quadruplicate contacts.
1. How can I remove the duplicates?
2. How can I be selective about which contacts I want to share on iCloud, in other words, can I share only certain contact categories/folders like work contacts or personal contacts?
3. How can I "uncloud" specific contacts and have them appear only on my computer and not on my iPhone?
4. Is there a way to restore accidently deleted contacts?
Thanks for any help you can give.Connect the device to the computer.
Select what is desired to sync.

I have Just downloaded the latest update to iTunes 11, it no longer shows any duplicates, and there are many, over 1500 songs. Also what is this iCloud? I neither want it, use it or need it, so how do I get rid of it? I have enough trouble merely getting in contact with iTunes, you don't make too many allowances for those of us who are not really computer savvy. Maybe I can dump the lot and revert to a friendlier (for me) version?
Sorry but I know of no way of not backing up for a PC.

On My Device - Music displays duplicates and songs that are not on my iPhone
When I click on "iPhone", then On My Device -> Music, it doesn't show what's on my iPhone. It shows duplicates and some songs that aren't even on it. What gives? I clicked "Add To" because I thought I could transfer songs to my iPhone that way but I really don't understand this screen and what it does. Anyone know, and why it displays an incorrect list?
I figured it out. After I enabled "Manually manage music and videos" I could delete songs via that list. I guess I just found a bug because it was showing all wrong when I didn't have that option enabled, and I clicked "Add To...".

I just downloaded itunes 11 and now i cant find the display duplicates..and it doesnt show the total amount of songs in my library..anybody know..??
Two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates. Use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background.

Each song on my iTunes has a duplicate. How do I delete all duplicates and prevent this from happening again in the future?
After I had updated to Itunes 11 (also on Windows 7), I had the same experience, but I suspect that it was because I accepted a proposal to set up an external media library in order to simplify security backups. An associated result was that I had lost all of my playlists!
What I did was to restore the entire library off my Ipod, using a very good program called PodToPC (a free download is available) selecting an option to replace all of the stuff in the Itunes library. I use the Ipod Classic simply because it has a large capacity to hold my collection of CD and Vinyls. No way was I going to modify duplicates of 10000 tracks in 750 playslists by hand! I did have a few residual problems with some of the playlist specs but, after a few hours of work all was restored.
I hope this is useful.
