Duplicate photo error - but not a duplicate image?

On occasion I'm getting the duplicate photo dialog box when importing images from my camera. iPhoto is saying some image I took (say in the last week) is the same as some random image I took years ago.
I've tried both repairing and rebuilding my iPhoto library, and neither helped. I have 2 questions:
1) If I choose to import a duplicate, does it overwrite the existing? The images are different, so I want to keep both.
2) Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Cheers!

1 - no - if youy import a duplicate you will have two photos
2 - no
You can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library and see if that resolves the 'false" duplicates

Photos 1.0 not showing all images from Photos Library.photoslibrary folder/file after update install

I installed the update that changed my iPhoto to Photos 1.0, and the new Photos program is not showing all images from Photos Library.photoslibrary file/folder (not sure to call it file or folder since it is actually a folder with all my pics but it acts more like a file) after update install. The Photos Library.photoslibrary file/folder shows to be 55 gb in size, and it shows to be loaded into the photos program, but there are maybe a few weeks of pictures showing instead of a few years. Lots of pictures in the 55 gb are not showing for some reason.

No - iPhotos has not replaced anything - it is new and an addition - iPhoto is still on your system in the applications folder and still works just fine
Outlook is not supported by Photos - not sure if the support must come form Apple or MS as Photos uses a different interface to external packages than iphoto did

Isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

Hi
Is this an Internal or External iSight ?
In iChat, in the Video Menu (This is to the right of Buddies and may read Audio) is Camera Enabled Ticked ?
If it reads Audio open the Connection Doctor from that same menu.
In the connection Doctor open the Capabilities tab
Does it say your Internet Connection is too slow ?
At this point I would need to know which iChat Version.
However also look in the View Menu.
Is Show VIdeo Status ticked ? (this shows green Icons next to your Buddy Pic and those of your Buddies
Next go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section
Do you see a preview here ?
Re: GoogleTalk
Have you enabled TALK on your Google Account Settings ?
You need to have a Google Mail ID (Not any other sort of Google ID)
Have you downloaded the Intel only Web Browser Plug-in to do Video in a Web Browser.

Not those whole folders, but their contents, maybe.
If the user account now on the Mac has read rights to the user account(s) on the backups, yes. If not, you may have to do some finagling.
Try the Browse Other Backup Disks option, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17. If you find an account that can open those folders, restore what you want to an alternate location (#16 in the FAQ).
If not try creating one or more accounts temporarily.

ITunes does only sync photo's but not music and video. Help please

I have loaded ios5 on both my iPad and my iPhone4. For about a week, all worked fine and i restored my music, video's and photo's. However since about a week, music and viceo's are removed from the iPhone. That was after the change from summer- to winter-time. And iTunes does not want to sync them back to the phone. On my iPad all is still there. I looked at my settings and the only difference between the iPad and the iPhone is that on the iPhone i see a switch for iTunes Match, but that does not work in my country yet. When i look in the left column of iTunes i see my music marked under the musicdirectory of my iPhone, but with a sych mark. ( the little circle). So i can add and remove photo's, but not music or video items. Has anyone an idea what to do?
By the way, all my other stuff(agenda, notes etc.) are synched thru iCloud.

Are you viewing on 'Videos' or did you find it in your music list?

Export the photos out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option to a folder on the Desktop. Then drag the folder onto the disk icon on the Desktop and burn. Be sure to select the Kind, qualtiy and size of the file you need.

The developers may not have made a version compatible with Mac OS X; if they have, it is a separate download.

Want to Buy Book in iPhoto 9.4.3 told 1 page had photo missing but not so. Changed page to 1 photo only

I want to buy an iphoto book but each time I click on button BUY BOOK I get the message that 1 or more pages have no photo which is not the case. It shows me one particular page with exclamation mark and I have changed the layout to even ONE photo but still get the same message. Tried various different layouts but still the same. All this having upgraded my operating system and my iPhoto software. Please can someone help. First time user of this support commuinity. Living in hope

Then I tried to preview the book like LN described "Assembling book" came up, blue bar finished but then nothing.
When the preview fails, your book contains a photo that cannot be processed. So it will not help to try to send it Apple, SafeMode or not.
You have to find out, which of your photos is causing the problem. Is there a partial preview, so you can check, how far the preview proceeded, before it crashed? Is there anything suspicious in the pdf you saved? Any photo not looking like it should?
I'd try to make a duplicate of your book (select it in the source list, then use the command "Photos > Copy".
Delete half of the photos from your book and try again to create a preview. Does that work? if not proceed with deleting photos, until you hit the bad one, that will make the preview crash.
Then replace that photo in your original book.

Tried the solutions posted for this "SubVI filter not executable. Undefined error" but not solving the problem

Hello,
I am trying to use a lowpass filter for my application but getting the error "SubVI filter not executable. Undefined error".I tried working with the solutions at this post
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/SubVI-filter-not-executable-Undefined-error/m-p/1996701#M657751 and results with
1. Create a blank vi, put a VI filter in the block diagram (this should not be functional as it is not wired), copy it and paste it in my other project. I believe if the filter is the first vi of a blank project, it is funcitonal and then you may copy it wherever you need to.
Result:
2.Tried to open the filter panel of the Filter but showing the same error as shown inthe below image
Don't why the solutions worked for others are not working.Can someone suggest a solution for this.
thanks in advance.

Hi PatanGova,
Very strange error. Actually, there are no required inputs on this express VI, so it should be able to run even without wires. It is not correct as you said: "this should not be functional as it is not wired". Nothing will happen, true, but the run arrow should not be broken.
For some reason, the VI with the Filter express VI fails to compile. I tried it on my computer (LV 2013) and get no error when I add it to a new VI. As was suggested in the linked forum thread, you need to open the front panel of the Filter VI and run it to see the explicit error.
If you do, do you also get the error:
"This VI claims to be part of a library that does not include the VI. The VI might have been deleted from the library. Add the VI to the library again or select File - Disconnect from the library."?
If you do, it seems that you may have a project library somewhere that has taken ownership of the express VI. The ownership prevents you from running or editing the express VI. To free the VI, you need to do one of two things. Either, you need to load the library into memory, or you need to disconnect the VI from the library. Either way, you need to find the project library that has taken the ownership of the VI. As soon as it is released, it should run for you. You release it by selecting File»Disconnect from Library on the VI.
The workaround described in your link (and also here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/compatibility-problem-labview-2009-2010-2011-quot-This-VI-claims/td-... tells that you can make a copy of the VI and thereby create another instance that is free. This solution may work for you as well, but if not, you may not have created the copy properly. Maybe your copy of the VI also became part of some project library that took ownership. In either way, you should rather find the project library to release the VI before trying the workaround to copy it.
If project library ownership is not the problem, maybe the problem is connected to LV 2011, as most forum posters report that it only happens here.

Keyword used per Keyword HUD, but not on any image per filtered search?

On the keyword HUD I try to delete a keyword and get the warning that the keyword is used by two versions, so I don't delete it.
I then go to a smart album showing all library photos and attempt to search for images having that keyword and nothing else (also don't have 'stack picks only' checked). This finds nothing!
How can this be? I even searched the trash and nothing there either that matches the keyword that supposedly exists on two versions.
Regards, Strathglass

Guys,
Before you chalk it up as a bug, check your keyword HUD for the same keyword appearing in different parts of your keyword hierarchy.
I had a situation occur where I exported some keyworded raws as jpegs to create a pano. When I reimported the resulting pano done in PSE 6, the keywords came back across into Aperture, but at the top level of the keyword hierarchy. For example:
(1) Aperture keyword was animals/reptiles/snakes/Venomous
(2) On re-import, I ended up with keywords of animals, reptiles, snakes, and venomous in the top level of the keyword structure.
Result = same keyword but in different locations in the hierachy. Confusion!
This also happens when you import photos that were keyworded in an external app, but I'm not sure of the extent of the occurrence.

Hallo ,why is it that when I delete a photo ,which is backed up by time machine and western digital external hard drive , that I am able to restore the photo okay but not the titles and descriptions . I have a Macbook 4.1, mac osx 10.5.8 . Iphoto 7.1.5 ,

QUESTION.
Hallo , my question is ;whenever I delete a photo and restore it through Time machine and Western digital external hard drive , I am able to restore the photo but not the titles and descriptions . Western Digital inform me that it isn't their external hard drive problem and suggest that it is an Apple software problem ?
I am using a Macbook 4.1 , with Mac OSX 10.5.8 . I photo 7.1.5 , last modifie4d 01/05/2010 -universal . Should I be upgrading Iphoto ?
I hope that someone is able to help in this matter , as i have to restore 12000 photos !
Thanking you in anticipation.
Alan from Wigton

Hallo Kieth ,
I am not quite ready to restore the full iphoto library , as I have days of work re - imputting titles,descriptions and enhancement . I hope that your suggestion works , as I use my Macbook basically to work with digital photography. Through time , I will need to delete my library to recover more disc space and I would hate to have to spend more time re - imputting titles and descriptions all over again .
Thanks for your interest and advice.

I can print to a Lexmark X4550, but not scan (with Image Capture)

Following tips (by "Lexmark Listens" and others) I succeded in printing (via USB and wifi) to a Lexmark X4550.
But when scanning (via USB) using the Image Capture app (included in Mac OS), Image Capture sees the scanner a couple of seconds, then complains that no scanner is connected (although it still is).
This happens with a MacBook (Pro), but not with another MacBook (white).
I tried (not necessarily in this order):
- reboot
- repair disk permissions
- re-installing drivers (both printer driver and "Image Capture Application Scan Driver for for 10.6.8 and later Mac OS") from Lexmark support site.
- running Mac OS software update (which updated the printer driver to version 2.8]
- resetting the printing system: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
How can I completely remove all files related to Lexmark printers&scanners and try again installing from a clean state?
(I see in other posts that a Lexmark Uninstaller is sometimes located in HD/Library/Printers/Lexmark/YEAR/ ; I used to have one here, but it was removed during previous attempts at getting the scanner working ; and anyway when I run this Uninstaller at the time, it did not completely clean the /Printer/Lexmark)
My problem is very similar to this one described in this bug report in Lexmark knowledge base:
http://bit.ly/MOR9bd
But the patch proposed is "For Mac OS X 10.6 only" and titled "LexmarkPro800-Pro900SeriesQFE1.0.0.dmg" so I don't think it would work for a Lexmark X4550. (Indeed I installed this patch and the problem is still there).
As for the workaround suggested, "When using Apple's Image Capture application, do not use the "Show Details" option [...]", I can't get it to work: as soon as I launch Image Capture, it starts scanning (a preview) and the "Show Details" bouton is grayed out.
I've already spent many hours trying to get this printer-scanner to work with my Mac.
Any suggestion would be very helpful!

Same issue, sort of. After ML upgrade, Lexmark x264dn fails to register as a printer & scanner, there is no scan tab anymore. Also, image capture application is stuck in a crash loop until I disable mDNS (bonjour) on the printer. Still, it does not register as a scanner anywhere (protoshop, image capture, preview...)
I have installed all the package scripts from Lexmark's Mountain Lion support page. No dice.

IPhoto 6 - photos there, but not there!

Hi some help would be appreciated:
After some major issues, I had to wipe my HD, reinstall OSX 10.6 and then restore my system from Time Machine.
Things seemed to be ok at first. But now when I open iPhoto 6, although the file names of all my photos, albums and camera rolls are there, the photos themselves are not displayed. Instead, there is a blank square where each photo should be.
The strange thing is when I drag one of these photos onto my deskstop, I can open it and see it normally in other applications.
I've tried the rebuild cache option by pressing control + alt when I open iPhoto, but this did not seem to work.
Any suggestions?
Also, I am thinking about upgrading to iPhoto '11, but this seems to have had some terrible reviews. Have these problems been fixed? Is a new iPhoto '12 planned anytime soon?
many thanks!

Control(right)-click on one of the thumbnails and select Show File from the contextual menu.
If you've edited the photo then select Show Original File.
You should be taken to the folder housing the orignal and that original selected. Do you see the original? If you do see the original file then
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library

In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Photos showing up in Wallpaper Photo Album, but not Main Photo Album

I just switched to iPhone - love it. Just transferred all of my photos from my old device into my iPhone via iTunes. They show they are in the iPhone when I check the iTunes capacity at the bottom, and they all show up as options for my wallpaper in the wallpaper settings. However, when I just go to the Photos app on my main screen they aren't in the Photo Album there (not the camera roll either but I expected that).
Thoughts on this? Did I do something wrong in the transfer? None of the files are corrupt - I was able to open them all in the wallpaper area but they just aren't available in the normal photo album.
Thanks

How did you correct this issue? i am having the same issue!

Photos downloaded but not copied into iphoto

I downloaded 92 photos from my camera to iphoto 7.1.5, the download finished, I deleted the original photos on the camera at the prompt to keep or delete originals, and iphoto then crashed. When I restarted iphoto, the photos I'd just downloaded did not appear in iphoto. The previous import shows up as the latest import.
I called Apple's tech support and they told me that the download was completed and the photos copied before I got the prompt to "keep or delete originals". However, they said the photos did not then get copied over from the folder into which they were copied to the last import folder.
Steve at the tech support told me that I could either pay them $49 for tech support or I could go to the apple support communities and try to get help. So, I'm hoping someone can tell me how to get access to my photos and copy them into the import folder in iphoto.
Thanks to anyone who can help me solve this problem.

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
