Duplicate photos - I get two everytime I upload from my camera

Hi all,
I've seen a variety of posts about duplicate photos in iPhoto and I am a bit confused. We have thousands of photos on our iMac in different user accounts. I know some are duplicates as various family members want their "copy" in their account. I would think we could put them in a "Shared" folder or some such but don't know how as yet. Anyway, the main question is, when I upload photos from my digital camera I get to files on my iMac. One is a large file and the other is like a 320x640. I assume iPhoto is generating a thumbnail and a full size as two separate files? Why???? Does it need both to function? I deleted some of the smaller files and then found they don't show up in the events folder anymore. Anyway, I need help managing my photos for sure. Thanks for the help and patience with a new iMac user.

It's the nature of the beast. The thumbnail file is an essential part of the library for viewing as smaller sizes than full size. By deleting them you've committed the cardinal sin of iPhoto - modifying the contents of the iPhoto Library package from the package.
You may be able to rebuild the thumbnail file by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select all options.

How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I updated

How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I downloaded the latest update for iphoto.

You may be able to download and install the update from here: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
If I upgrade to Yosemite will I be forced to go to the new Photos program
No. After upgrading (and of course make a back up first) you will need to update iPhoto to v9.6.1 (you won't be able to do this prior to upgrading). Here's how:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Photos is v1 of a new app, as yes it's not as mature as iPhoto. It uses a different technology for working with external editors. That requires Adobe to write an extension to let it hook into the new app. Not done yet, neither has anyone else.
Going forward: iPhoto will run on OS 10.10., but there is no guarantee for subsequent versions of the OS. You might want to factor that into your anger term thinking.

How do I put photos in an album and remove them from the camera roll?

I would like to be able to move photos into an album and remove them from the camera roll. Is this possible?
I take many photos of mundane things that I simply want to remember, such as serial number of products. I would like to save these photos for viewing, but I don't want them to appear in my camera roll, where I have to continuously scroll through many such photos to get to the ones that I want to view there.
I know that Apple has a "hide" feature, but it doesn't actually do anything. When I press-and-hold on individual photos, the photos stay in the camera roll: they aren't hidden at all. It's not clear what the purpose of this function is at all.

You don't do this, as the photos are in the camera roll. That is where they live. When you make an album you are simply making a list of pointer to your photos in camera roll.
If you remove them from the camera roll, then they are gone.
Photos in albums are not in two places. They are in only one place, the camera roll. The album merely contains pointers to those pics, so that you can categorize them however you like.
You should be importing these pics to your computer. I find it far easier to organize my photos on my computer, then sync them to the iPhone.

Deleting pictures uploaded from my camera

I used my iPod camera connector and uploaded pictures to my iPod while on vacation and now I have them in iPhoto, my problem is deleting them from my iPod now. When my iPod is connected to iTunes the only option available is to add/delete photos that are from iPhoto not to delete photos that I uploaded from my camera. Does anyone know how to do this???

Connect the iPod, in the summary screen click on the "photos" tab.
Remove the check mark from "sync photos". You will then see a message asking you to confirm.
Click "yes", then click "apply" (bottom right corner).
However this will remove all the photos on the iPod.
If you just want to delete selected ones, you can remove the photos from the folder with which they are synced.
This is an option.
Create a new folder and give it a recognizable name (e.g. iPod photos).
Drag (or copy) your photos into this new folder.
Connect your iPod and open iTunes and when the summary page appears, click on the "photos" tab.
Under "Synchronize photos from" choose "Selected albums" and select the new folder you created and click on "OK".
Then you can just add and remove photos to and from that new folder as you wish.

my friend shared a video with me on icloud photo sharing and then she deleted it from her camera roll, how do I save it???(very urgent)

DVDs are encoded into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD back to something else. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
Here are the details.
1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
3) Start MPEG Streamclip
4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
8) Use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
11) Open iMovie.
12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

Welcome to the Apple Community Diane.
I find that shared video can be troublesome, a few haven't appeared to work as you describe but have done when I've looked at a later date. Hopefully they will work if you give them a bit longer. perhaps it would be a good idea if you make sure they are working before deleting them from the camera roll.

I get two screens while uploading a document in a library

Hi,
I get two upload screens while uploading a document to a library. Take a look at the below screenshots. Can somebody please tell me how can I club these two to one.
I need only one upload screen with all the metadata listed.
Many thanks for your response.
p.s. also please tell me an out of the box way to do this. Even scripting is okay.
1.
2.

In the first screenshot I can see the link "Upload files using Windows Explorer instead". You can use that option to upload your files and the default values for metadata would be taken for those files.
From the second screenshot I can see there are custom columns in metadata because of which the second dialog is shown. If there are no custom columns in metadata then the second dialog will not appear.

How can i delete photos in a folder from my Iphone 4s. when it was synced, the photos went to two folders and not to the camera roll

How can I delter photos in a folder from my Iphone 4s? When I synced the new phone from the Itunes, the photos went to two folders and not the camera roll.

How to get location data when uploading from DSLR?

I have read that you can't add or edit location data when files are added to Photos in the new Yosemite version. But does the location still get added when you upload via a wireless connection like on the iPad?
If not, is there a workaround?I have ended up with thousands of photos on the iMac with no location data as a result of the upgrade. I don't want to make the problem worse.
Any help or advice appreciated.

I'm not exacting sure what the difference between tagging and geotagging is. I do know that at present on my ipad (and I haven't upgraded it from IOS7 yet), if I import my DSLR photos to the ipad, when in a wifi environment, it adds the location to the photos where they were uploaded. Without wifi, no location gets added. I actually haven't figured out a way to add location data to the photos using the ipad, is there a way? I have always been advised before to use my mac to do that, which is no longer possible in Yosemite as far as I can tell.

Developing an iOS app on Windows and get error 90161 on upload from Mac

Hello,
I have developed an AIR for iOS app in Flash CC 2014 on Windows. I use MacinCloud managed server for uploading .ipa to store for testing. It is virtual server service with Mac OS. They have Application Loader pre-installed.
I made certificates [cer converted to p12] on Windows and installed provisional profile. I made another certificate on Mac and added it to provisional profile too.
I get error when trying to upload from Application Loader:
ERROR ITMS-90161: "Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning profile included in the bundle com.xxx.yyy [Payload/yyy.app] is invalid. [Missing code-signing certificate.] For more information, visit the iOS Developer Portal."
Stuck here. Tried to add cert made on Mac. Flash doesn't like it and stops compilation.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Unfortunately I have no experience with Apple Testflight, but I can show you how to host on your own server.
Create a .plist file on your server with the following data in it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>items</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>assets</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>kind</key>
<string>software-package</string>
<key>url</key>
<string>http://yourserver.com/path/to/ipa</string>
</dict>
</array>
<key>metadata</key>
<dict>
<key>bundle-identifier</key>
<string>com.yourcompany.yourgame</string>
<key>bundle-version</key>
<string>current version of your app</string>
<key>kind</key>
<string>software</string>
<key>title</key>
<string>name of your app</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
Then, on your server, make an HTML page with the following code in it:
<a href="itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=http://yourserver.com/path/to/plist">click here to install<a>
Navigate to that page on your device, click the link, and it should work! (assuming the adhoc provisioning profile you built your app with contains permissions for your device)

to follow up on what Diesel said, I created a test appt in Outlook ( from 2nd account), accepted it in my primary account, and waited to see what would happen on the iPhone( VZW-4)...about 5-7 minutes after I accepted it in Outlook primary account, the acceptance reminder vanished from the iPhone...

Can't find Pictures I just uploaded from my camera

I uploaded new pictures from my camera to iPhoto11. They were there!! My wife even edited the photos. We tried to see them later, and the event was not there, and they didn't even show up as the last import. I tried to import them into my iphoto library because I could see they existed when I searched for things done today. The message said that I could not do it because they were already in my iphoto library. This is where it said they are " Users/trenk21/Public/iPhoto Library/Previews/2010/11/21/20101121-192612/P1040523.jpg"
After speaking to a friend, I just downloaded the software update for iPhoto 11, but that doesn't help me with these photos.
How do I get these photos back into my library where I can see them, and use them?

i have exactly the same problem. uploaded pictures showed up in iphoto and after closing iphoto they disappeared. they were uploaded directly from the sd-card.
when i try to import downloaded pics in iphoto i have the same problem, they show up but aber closing iphoto and starting it up again they are gone!
this means i cant import any pictures to iphoto at all!

How do I get iPhoto to import & store from the camera roll?

Under iOS 6, it was possible to import photos from camera roll to iPhoto, where they were stored, even if they were deleted from the camera roll.
Now, iPhoto has access to the entire camera roll, and I don't see a way to import into iPhoto.
My goal is to have a copy of the photo in iPhoto, but at the same time, delete it from camera roll.
Is this possible under iOS 7?

My iPhoto is v. 4.0.3.
Is your QuickTime up to date?
Video importing requires QuickTime 7.6.2 or later.

IPhoto shuts down while uploading from my camera

I have loaded pics from that camera before. Now, shuts down while uploading. So, I closed Iphoto and tried again. Same. Checked for updates. I opened Iphoto without the camera attached and it wants to upload the same pics. I try, and it quits.
On a side note, Last night I could not print. It did not see the printer. Checked the printer with a PC. Works like a champ.
Thanks,
Bud

Bud,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Look just inside your Home/ Pictures/ iPhoto Library folder for a folder named "Importing." If you see it, drag it out to the desktop. Launch iPhoto and see if that clears up the attempt to import. Use the Finder to look inside the Importing folder - if it has files you need in your library you can go ahead and import them.
Warning: Do not make any other changes to the items inside the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder, as damage to your library can result. If you don't see an "Importing" folder, then leave everything alone and report back.
Regards.
