Duplicate photo's on iPod

I used to get my photo's on my iPod from a folder on my desktop, but I moved that folder into my pictures. When I wen't into the ipod options I picked that same folder from my desktop that I moved into my pictures. Now I have two sets of the same photo's. When i go to the photos on the iPod there is the slideshow settings and below that there is photo library and then there is that folder that I moved but the photo library and that folder have the same pics in them. How do I delete one of the sets?

if i do that all my files will be erased,
Yes a Restore will erase everything on your iPod, pc based files will not be affected.
the only other place i have all my stuff is itunes.
Whn you say stuff you mean Muisc and Photos? - Aren't these what you sync from your pc?
Will i get it all back on my ipod?
If you set iTunes up to sync your music and photos after you restore, yes
If you have other files (disk storage) stored on your iPod, these need copyng to another location first.

IOS 5 Duplicate Photo Albums

iOS 5 produces exact duplicate photo albums in my Photos on my iPhone.
Before syncing photos from my PC I had Camera Roll and Photo Stream.
In iTunes I configured my iPhone to sync with a folder containing photos, for this example we'll call it FolderX.
When the iPhone synced with that folder it created TWO albums, one called FolderX and one called Photo Library and they BOTH have the EXACT same photos.
So now I have Camera Roll, Photo Stream, Photo Library, and FolderX with the last two albums having the precise same number of the exact same photos.
I do not need this. I do not need two photo albums with the exact same pics. Why on God's green Earth would they make it do this?
When I click the "edit" button I do not get the option to to do anything to the albums except the FolderX album, and it only has the option to move it, but alas, it really doesn't let you move it even though the button is there.
I have already deleted all iPhone and iPod photo cache folders and resynced.
What do I need to do to have only one album on my iPhone with my photos, and not two?

Yeah this is REALLY frustrating. It happened to me when I "upgraded" to iOS 5. I've managed to figure out how to get rid of the duplicate photo albums by making a new folder outside the iPhone folder on my PC which is located in "My Pictures" on my computer. I moved all the pictures from my actual iPhone to this new backup folder plus copied what was in the iPhone folder on my PC.
Once I was sure I had backed up all my pictures taken with my iPhone I deleted everything in the "iPhone" folder on my PC including the iPhone Cache folder. I synced from the folder "iPhone" which was now empty & it made the duplicate albums disappear.
I tried syncing from the backup folder to using iTunes & WHAM duplicate photo albums again!!! All the same pictures but now one had the name "Photo Album" & the other duplicate was named the folder that I synced from. IRRITATING!!!!
So I got rid of the duplicate albums by deleting everything in the iPhone folder on my PC & syncing from that folder chosen in iTunes. It's a drag that I can't load up my pictures to enjoy or share without duplicate albums showing up. I want to be able to put pictures from my computer to "Camera Roll" which allows me to delete whatever I don't want easily.
I hate that Apple has made this iCloud thing so duplicate folders show up on my phone without my ability to just delete pictures from those albums or delete the albums easily from my phone.
FIX FIX FIX it Apple!
I should also note that I never allowed iCloud services on my iPhone & have NOT downloaded the service to my computer either. I don't want anything to do with iCloud.

All my photo libraries in my iPhone have duplicate photos since I have installed IOS 6. Please help.

All my photo libraries in my iPhone have duplicate photos since I have installed IOS 6. I work with Aperture 3.3 not iPhoto! Also, most of the photos in my camera library have been deleted without my consent! I'm very ****** about that! Please help.

Photos in Photo Library are the ones that you've synced from your iTunes to your iPad. To free up space, you should delete these photos on your Photo Library since you already have the copies on your computer: Connect your iPad with your computer > Launch iTunes > click your iPad and navigate to Photos window > check Sync Photos from > select an empty folder and click Apply to carry out the syncing. After then, all photos in your Photo Library will be deleted.
As for photos in Camera Roll on your iPad, you should copy them to your computer for backup and deleted the copies on your iPad:Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

IPhoto album backups and duplicate photos

Hello,
After uprading to iPhoto 6, I went through the whole library and put it all into about 15 separate albums. I've only got about 2000 photos, but it was still a lot of work. After I had done this, I started making a calendar, which for some strange reason make iPhoto practically refuse to run, so I had to re-install. (ther people on discussions have had the same problem, and the common factor seems to be trying to make a calendar).
After the re-install, I re-imported all my photos back into iPhoto. I'm not going to try and make a calendar straight away, as before I do, I really want to back up my Albums.
Does a straight complete backup of the iPhoto library folder back this up for me? If not, can anyone tell me how this can be achieved?
Secondly, after re-importing all my photos, the photos that I had previously edited now are present in two forms; the original and the edited one. Unfortunately it is too late to re-import my library having deleted the folder "Originals". I didn't think of it at the time!
Does anyone know of a way to delete duplicate photos, or how I could at least get them all side by side, as a lot are spaced out and therefore it can be hard to compare and see if they are duplicated.
Any ideas would be hugely appreciated, as this is really stopping me using iPhoto that much at the moment.
Many many thanks for any help, it will be extremely gratefully received!!
Regards,
Adam Dalton

Hi Adam,
All you need to do is backup the entire iPhoto Library folder. This will preserve everything. If for some reason you need to use this backup then you would place it in the Pictures folder and launch iPhoto. iPhoto will launch and open the library. there is no need to import all your photos again.
If you have an iPhoto Library folder already in the Pictures folder, but you want to replace it or it is damaged, then drag that folder to the desktop and drag the backup into the Pictures folder, then launch iPhoto.
Bottom line...back up the iPhoto Library folder in the Pictures folder. do it often.
As far as the duplicates you have now, do you have your view set to film rolls? I would think since the film roll name is the same they would be next to each other. How about putting the name of the roll in the search field? You should get the contents of both modified and Originals from the rolls. You can then delete what you don't want.
Backing up your iPhoto Library
1. Burn the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder to a CD or DVD
This method will give you a burned iPhoto Library folder that can be copied back to your computer to replace a damaged library. You can also use this method to backup an old library when you want to create a new Library to use as your current library.
insert a blank CD into your internal or external CD-RW drive and copy the iPhoto library to the CD icon on your desktop. When you drag the CD icon to the Trash/Eject button in the Dock, you are given the option to burn the CD. Click Burn and the CD is created. To burn a DVD backup of your digital images, use a DVD and a SuperDrive-equipped Mac
The easiest way to burn an iPhoto Library folder in the Finder that is larger than 4.7 gig to fit on one DVD is to burn sections of the folder.
Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
Double click the folder to open it.
Drag each Year folder to the desktop.
You should be left with the iPhoto Library folder containing all the data files, and the Year folders.
Combine whatever year folders that amount closest to a DVD burn size on one DVD. Make sure that you have burned all the Year folders, then the iPhoto Library folder with all the data files.
If you ever need to use this backup, insert the DVDs into your computer and copy the folders to the desktop. Put all the Year folders back into the iPhoto Library folder. Then put the iPhoto Library folder back into the Pictures folder.
2. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to an external drive formated for a Mac. Do not use this as your only back up as the external can also go bad.
3. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to your iPod in disk mode
4.Creating your own CDs and DVDs for viewing in iPhoto
This method is a great way to back up Albums of older photos or even your entire library if it is small enough to fit on a DVD. This method will give you a library that will mount within iPhoto in the source column to be viewed. To import any images from this library they need to be dragged into your library in the source column.
If you just want to backup the images in your library:
1) Within iPhoto select the images, albums or rolls you want to backup. Go to Share>Export and export them to a newly created folder on the desktop. Follow the directions in the next link.
Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company

Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone. Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone. Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

Mike whether I create a folder within the Pictures Folder that iTunes uses to sync photographs or just copy them into the main folder the result is the same, I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
The User Manual for iOS5 states ...
You can create, rename, and delete albums on iPhone to help you organize your photos and videos.
Create a album: When viewing albums, tap Edit, then tap Add. Select photos to add to the new album, then tap Done. Note: Albums created on iPhone aren’t synced back to your computer.
Rename an album Tap Edit, then select an album.
Rearrange albums Tap Edit, then drag up or down.
Delete an album Tap Edit, then tap the delete sign.
Yes I can Add a new Album, but cannot delete an album already created. The delete sign does not appear.
In iTunes the only folder that I can see listed is the man one into which iTunes stores pictures, which I have named iPhone Photos.
When I look on my PC this iPhone Photos folder contains another folder named iPod Photo Cache and a multitude of folders created by iTunes, the named F00, F01,F02 etc etc. and a Photo Database file.
Now whether I create a seperate folder within iPhone Photos to store my favourite photos in, or just copy them all into the iPhone Photos folder without being encased within another folder, or create a folder inside the iPod Photo Cache folder the result is the same ...
I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
I am going around in ever decreasing circles here and getting nowhere fast!!

Duplicate photos on iPad

Hi
I've just upgraded to iOS 7.0.6.
When viewing photos using the album tab everything appears fine, if I look at my photos via the photo tab I appear to have duplicates of every photo. Is this something to do with photo stream?
If viewing an individual photo I have the option to trash one of them but not the other?
Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks

Duplicate photos under places

Hi all, my sons ipod touch duplicates photos when reviewed under places. He uses a netbook running xp. Any ideas why this occurs. The windows gallery indicates no dupes.
thanks for your help

I have almost a 1000 photos on my iPod but can't import them to my Mac

I have an iPod 5 running iOS 7 and am trying to import my photos to my iMac running OSX 10.6.8.
I managed to import some photos into Aperture but then it got stuck in trying to delete some of the imports. I could not get past the delete photos button.
After shutting down and restarting Aperture, I then unplugged, shut down and restarted the iPod.
Now Aperture (and iPhoto) see the iPod again but don't see any of the almost 1000 photos in the iPod's Photos .app.
I took another photo just to test and that shows up in the iPod's Camera and iPhoto .apps plus iPhoto and Aperture.
I unchecked do not import duplicates, just in case that was the reason, but still no photos to import.
From memory I wasn't seeing any of the 100 photos in Aperture in the initial import attempt.
What is isolating that collection from the subsequent photos?
Can't think what else to try.
Peter

I opened the iPod with iFunBox.
Can find no relevant documents other than the single image in the 9th of 9 Cameras.
The other 8 Cameras appear empty.
Am now trying an iCloud sync which appears to be showing the images.
Curious.

Some of my songs are listed twice on my iPod itself. However, when I plug the iPod into my computer, the songs don't show up twice in iTunes when I click on device/music. How do I get rid of the duplicate songs on my iPod?

that is odd! that should not be happening.
Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

How to I copy photos from my ipod classic back onto my pc?

How to I copy photos from my ipod classic back onto my pc? My hardrive recently crashed and the photos on my ipod are the only copies I have! The photos were synced onto th ipod originally - not saved or copied as file transfer.

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. I'm not sure which of the recovery tools can do photos offhand, but unless you chose the option to include full res. originals when you loaded the device then what they extract will be fairly low res. If you did opt for full res. then they should be visible on the iPod's drive when viewed in disk mode.

HT1678 How do I synch/download photos from my iPod classic to my computer, which has a Windows operating system? Thanks.

I am trying to download photos from my iPod to either an external hard drive or my computer, which has a Windows operating system. The iPod should function like an external hard drive, right? My photo files/computer/hard drive were damaged. Can I put my photos on the iCloud, and then save on external drive? Not sure how to o this either. I lost a few years of baby photos. Thanks for any help!

iTunes syncing to iPods (that are not iPod touch) mostly goes one way, from computer to iPod. For photos, at the time you synced the photos to the iPod, there is a setting that you needed to have enabled in iTunes if you later want to recover them from the iPod. This setting is on the iPod's Photos tab in iTunes (where you set up photo syncing). There is a checkbox for Include full-resolution photos.
IF that checkbox was checked, you can Enable disk use on the iPod's Summary tab, and find the full-res photo files in the Photos folder on the iPod. Otherwise (if setting not checked), when iTunes syncs the photos to the iPod, iTunes converts the images to a very low-resolution version that is optimized to fit the small iPod screen and stores the image data in a single database file (to save storage space). There may be third-party software that can extract separate photos from that database file, but the resulting photos will look bad blown up to computer screen size.
